Any responses with subject matter that does not pertain to the purpose of this thread (Factions which contain the qualities I seek extending me an offer for me to join them) will be ignored. If you have something that mirrors an offensive verbal assault or something condescending about me, My char or other factions and their members please respect all players, keep it to yourself and be private about it, even if you disagree completely or you feel something they said is just 100% untrue.
Hello players of perfect World. I am interested in joining a faction in the near future, Once I locate one that seems to have the qualities I need. Here is some information about me and my character:
I am an adult.
I am very active. 30+ hours a week and weekends. Mountain Time.
I am a team player, I can accept advice and feedback from players who can offer it.
I am a patient person.
I do not insult or attack other players or purposefully kill steal other players. Same as all players, mobs can accidentally get hit for one reason or another, but I do not retaliate against other players and try ruin their fun. Usually I move to another area. I am honest, reasonable, fair, logical and blunt.
1. I am a level 64 Archer. I have a retired level 73 healer. This char will not be used for any reason. It is retired. The MP upkeep is too much for me to call it a worthwhile investment.
2. I am wearing a full maxed legendary gear set ( Except cape, But I have the cape and it is sharded). I will continue to wear legendary gear and TT gear through the life of my character.
3. ALL of my player skills are maxed. (No scroll leveling) SP was farmed through 3 months of hard daily grinding and one man armies. Rep is 2733. No rep purchased.
4. All manufacturing skills are level 5 I farmed the materials myself.
5. My char is pure dexterity. I am wearing a +15 dex tome.
6. I am not interested in either player killing or territory wars. I may participate in territory wars when my char reaches a much higher level and I am strong enough to participate effectively. I am not interested in joining a faction focused on player killing or territory wars at this time.
7. I am willing to assist with quests, Twilight Temple, Bounty hunters, Bosses and all FB's 69 and under.
8. Willing to manufacture any gear / apothecary with my current manufacturing level if materials are provided.
9. I am currently the leader of my own faction, OnlyPro. No other users are in this faction, just me.
I am seeking out factions with the following qualities:
1. Faction must consist of mainly adults. 21+ years of age.
2. The leader must be an adult interested in building a good faction with good people and good players. Not a leader who offers no faction customer service when it comes to protecting friends and playing favorites. Someone who is mature and can make largely unbiased, logical and intelligent judgment calls. the leader must be active and aware of the condition of the faction and it's members, Who is helping who is not who should stay and who needs to go, Based on friendliness to other faction members and perhaps the amount of "Drama" or conflict someone causes with other members and also willingness to help other members. My healer has been in several factions with higher level (85+) level players who are active but mostly do not interact with anyone in the faction at all. Additionally I have experienced factions where certain members have problems with several other members because of unwarranted jealousy, unrestrained hate, rumor spreading and other unknown causes. I would like to join a faction that removes those people and does not keep then on board or in a leadership position because of their friendship or their player level.
3. Faction must not contain any world chat abusers. I am not interested in inheriting the image or reputation of users who abuse this function and annoy other players in the game by chatting about offensive sexual things, Their personal life, And Individuals who talk to and carry out long conversations with their friends in world chat or verbally assault or belittle other factions and players. I use world chat for game related functions it is my expectation my peers use it only for the same purpose.
4. Faction chat and voip chat should be reasonably clean and not focused on filthy adult topics 24 hours a day. I am not religious but this is foul, detestable and offensive. I play Perfect World for fun and to get away from that kind of garbage. This applies to men as well as women. I am not interested in hearing it.
5. Faction should contain users active day and night in different timezones. So that there is always members online.
6. Faction must contain higher level players able to assist with bounty hunter quests if needed, my upcoming FB's and quest bosses.
7. Faction should actively use or have available a voice over internet protocol application.
8. Faction should contain members currently interested in or carrying out rebirth beta and rebirth gamma runs. My long term focus is Gamma but beta is definitely a plus as well =P.
9. Faction should have members carrying out a range of Twilight Temple runs of various levels for mats and such.
10. Faction does not necessarily have to be a large faction. I have joined said large factions in the past under my healer and found those factions were dead with inactivity or 50% of the members were alternates. I prefer a greater amount of activity over size in members.
If you believe your faction has the qualities which I seek, Please post the following in this format, Lazy and non serious responses or rushed answers outside of this format will be ignored.
1. Please Post your faction name.
2. Your rank in the faction.
3. If your faction does or does not have a website and the URL.
4. If your faction has forums. And the url.
5. If your faction uses a voice over internet protocol application And which one. ( Ventrilo, Teamspeak etc.)
6. Number of players usually online at any given time.
7. If your faction does Twilight Temple runs.
8. If your faction does any rebirth runs and which ones.
9. Please tell me why you are recruiting me or why you think I would be good for your faction.
10. Please tell me if you think your faction and it's members have a good reputation and why.
If you have done all of the above, Thank you very much for your time. I will read what you post and take what you say with very serious intentions, Take your words into great consideration and compile a list of factions I may like to join based on what you have to offer and anything you have said answering my questions or adding anything additional on top of what I have asked from you. Again thank you so much for your time and effort. I look forward to seeing you in-game, Hopefully party with you and talking to you here in the forums.

Alright, I'm not sure if we meet everything, but I will try my best to list what my faction has to offer and what you may get from it. You may decide from what I say if it is worthwhile to pursue checking into it. ^^
1. Name of faction: Ultimatum
2. My rank: Leader
3. We do not have a website, we do have a forum, see next point.
4. Forum address is here
5. We do use ventrilo. I have it set up so that one must have an account set up for them in order to log on (individualized username and password)
6. Number of players online ranges between 15-20. This depends on time of day, and whether it is right after a server maintainence, which generally leaves fewer people online.
7. We do TT 1-1 through 3-1, depending on interest.
8. Rebirth is iffy. Everyone is in a varied level range, which makes getting a rebirth party together difficult. We have yet to do a faction party rebirth, though several members have gone together with people outside the faction.
9. I have seen your posts, and you speaking in world chat, and I have spoken with you before. I find you to be a mature person, and intelligent. These are good qualities for people who are advancing in game, as well as trying to learn new things about the game. I find them to be more able to pick things up, and able to be self-sufficient when the need arises.
10. I believe people in my faction are helpful and honorable people who play the game to have fun. I try to lead by example, and sort out issues within and without of the faction by talking things through with those involved to reach a resolution. I have only run into a few problems with our reputation with other players over the time I have been leader. I have had compliments from people about our faction, I have not heard people saying negative things except when trying to start **** with a few of my members.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Thank you Skybelle for the wonderful sig
Where did you go, where did you go? How did you know to get out of a world gone mad? Help me let go of the chaos around me, the devil that hounds me. I need you to tell me "Child be still". If the darkest hour comes before the light, where is the light?0 -
Very nicely done Foltern. If Contagion was actually an active Faction I would find you to be a very nice asset. I hope that whatever faction you do join, will be what you hope it is. Good luck, and Fly Safe o/.

I laughed. I honestly did. It's kinda ridiculous.
For the record, age does not equal maturity, as is easily proven by the amount of immature idiots in Universities and colleges.If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

So this person is serious about the faction they will be joining...what's funny about that?0 -
Christian Guild Church is a mature guild in every aspect of the meaning. Our LeaderhipTeam varies from 34 yo to 50. We have been around since May 2007 when we started up in Guild Wars. Now we play many different games, and you wont have to change guild no matter what game you play. We have active TeamSpeak and we are availible on 3 servers in PWI including Sanctuary, we hope to be availible on all servers soon. Our website can provide more info if nessesary, otherwise i will happily recieve pm's in forum or by contacting one of my chars ingame: Born_Again_ or WWJD_

The ridiculous list of "requirements". Look at the damn list.
Age requirements? Oh please, don't make me give examples.
A leader that thinks of themself as intelligent etc? Wait, that's one freakishly arrogant person. Humble people don't talk about what they are, others do it for them.
FBs do not warrant the usage of VoIPs, as most FBs are done by much higher level characters, along with wines, which makes them a pushover.
Asking for much higher level players for freaking Bounty Hunters is arrogant and idiotic. The 90+'s have no reason to do your BH59's for you other than having nothing else to do.
I cannot help it but see a rather ignorant person right there. It's kinda funny.
Quite simply, if a person is looking for a faction, then the person needs to qualify for the faction, not the other way around.If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

TBH I didn't read her post. I read it after you made your points...and I must say I spoke too soon. I agree that what this person is asking is a bit overboard...My apologies to you.

Hello. Sorry if what I said offended you or upset you. That wasn't my intention at all. What I meant to communicate, Was the leader of a faction should make decisions which cater to the integrity of the faction as a whole and not favor users for one reason or another. A leader who has good judgment and acts on it.
Voip of course does not have to be used in all instances, That is not my expectation, sorry if it reads that way. I will change it. But I do think it is a resource that goes without usage. I believe faction leaders should encourage the use of any tool which makes every mission a success mission. And while I wouldn't say using it in every instance is required, I personally do use it in all times possible, Even in FB29. Perhaps nothing is said while clearing, But that line of communication is available if a beginner player has questions or another varied situation. It's the fastest line of communication if people take hits, fall behind or other unforseen factors like a disconnection.
When it comes to finding a faction in game, For myself, There is a lot of chaos while doing this. I get many many whispers from all sorts of players and I cannot talk to all of them at once or even in a chatroom. I prefer not to use a large amount of tele's doing this. If I create a post in the forums in the appropriate thread for it, I can be assured it will be viewed by a multitude players and it's free for me as well. I can set my expectations openly honestly and up front. so a faction can understand what I want from them and what they will get from me. This prevents a lot of faction turnover. I have discovered factions do not want users joining then quitting a few days or hours later. And the inverse is true for players. Most individuals would like to dedicate gameplay to one faction and not move from one to another. This is my best effort to find an appropriate faction for me.
Thank you for helping me refine my expectations. I will now edit what I have posted.

So basicly you are looking for a guild:
1. With level range from around 50-85+
2. Firm, strict guild over relaxed one
3. Voice chat
4. Large, active international guild (small guild can't provide enough members at all hours)
5. Regular RB/TT/FB/BH/WB runs
If so, then maybe say like that? Cause at the moment it looks like you ask A LOT from guild and don't offer nothing much back.
I was curious about one thing - that you will assist if you have hp/mp. Does it mean you would meditate to get it back? Even if you were in middle of instance?0 -
<_<. As I was reading this post I felt like it was soooooo serious, I mean like really serious-- like real-life serious. You must have quite an empty plate or something lol. Such devotion is nostalgic of my childhood and carefree teen years. When I had nothing to worry about but my games and sleeping hehe. I'm jealous.
Good luck finding your faction! ^L^

Thank you for your replay regarding this. I will consider shortening my post. I do have high expectations from a faction leader, however I do not feel what I am asking is alot. You summed it up fairly well. I made it long and specific so that a serious leader who is willing to invest the time in locating the right players will find it and respond to it. Most people will probably see the wall of text and move on. I would rather be recruited into a faction with someone willing to invest the necessary time and energy into getting the right people. If someone is too lazy to do it or won't follow simple instructions, I take it as a personal reflection on how they run their faction. I want someone who is dedicated and serious when it comes to their faction. Same as me.
About the MP/HP. thank you for pointing this out. I will edit this. What I mean to say is that, If someone were to request my help with an FB or BH or some other random thing in the game. I would help them do it of course. However the only reason I would not or would hesitate to do, would be If I do not have an mp charm or HP charm equipped, I would be very reluctant until I had both. In some instances if I had a lot of quests to do and I needed to get some done with time restraints, I may not assist or I may hesitate to assist if I thought I would run out of MP or HP or I could not afford more charms. It happens to all players.
I would rather be prepared to do the job to the best of my ability rather than put that kind of unfair pressure on a healer or ask a party wait for my mp to refill. Depending on the circumstances, It might be unwise to commit to a serious FB or BH without having the "necessary" embellishments. People may take hits or some other incident may occur which forces me to take mobs on myself or I may be unable to provide Barrage of Arrow support to potentially save a party wipe. A dead archer or party is not good or useful at all. I hope that galvanizes what I meant to communicate.
As far as what I can or am willing to offer back:
I am mature. I am not going to give the faction a bad name.
I am very active. which equates to being available to help other members.
I am a team player, I can accept advice and feedback from players who can offer it.
I am a patient person. When it comes to FB , BH and teaching other people.
I do not insult or attack other players or purposefully kill steal other players.
I am honest, reasonable, fair, logical and trustworthy. I would not steal from or lie to someone.
I am a level 64 Archer. I can serve as primary damage taker and damage dealer for the following: Qingzi, Farren, Hercule Trioc, Fushma, Quillhog King, Gouf and probably more with a strong healer.
All manufacturing skills are level 5. I am Willing to manufacture any gear / apothecary with my current manufacturing level if materials are provided.
I am willing to assist with quests, Twilight Temple, Bounty hunters, Bosses and all FB's 69 and under
I'm not sure if I covered everything. I feel as though I have. If a faction can ask more of me. I can respond to that.

Archers ftw
While I am a serious person, I make jokes and have fun as well ^__^. I've had so many bad faction experiences which ruined the fun for me and had a negative effect on me, Where I was not glad to log in and have fun, I was dreading it wanting to avoid people and considered quitting the game. I would like to be apart of a faction that has people who want to have fun who have a decent reputation. Not children flaming each other taking power and pvp far too seriously. Voip is good for communication in parties or teaching new players. A leader who removes problem members and does not allow drama to run the faction. Also that players in that faction can help me with my stuff too. You can see how that is a reasonable list of things to want from a faction. ^_^
Thank you for your wishes. I hope to find the one I need as well.

I'm sorry but this is not tanking, and also it's no special ability at all.
-you are not able to survive without a permanent heal
-your "tanking" stresses the Cleric and **** their charm
-any other class can endure boss dmg when the Cleric heal is strong enough
-the high lvl Cleric you demand for your tanking is propably the better tank and can still deal damage, if he/she has to heal a lvl 64 archer there will be little time to attack
-your tanking does only rely on aggro by keeping the threat level up with damage, a barb or bm has got skills that can increase the threat level in addition
-you are not the best gurantee the aggro does not shift, simply because of your level, others will outdamage you. This can result into an aggro-ping-pong situation where your poor cleric has to heal f.e. you and a wizzard and can't build up full IH onto a single personOlba wrote:Quite simply, if a person is looking for a faction, then the person needs to qualify for the faction, not the other way around.
I strongly disagree with you. The perfect way for a person and a faction to come together would be if both sides get to know each other and "qualify" for another. In my point of view here lies a major problem that causes the already by Foltern mentioned problems of no loyality and ppl leaving all the time. What do you expect to get when you wc for people and add "pm for invite"? You invite ppl without having spoken to them, the faction might not match with what they wanted to have (if they thought about it b4), you are disappointed that they don't integrate into your community, mabye a fight starts and old members complain too, some people leave your faction.
So I would say: Factions, do not simply pick anybody. People, have a closer look onto the faction you may join. Solves a lot of problems before they happen - and that's what Foltern is trying to do, I think it's good that way.
Anyway good luck finding the perfect matching faction, Foltern. b:shyCervantia BM 100 / Calivthel Cleric 101 / Davinella Archer 9x

A good writer knows how to express themselves with few words.
Also, as I said, most factions want people to apply to them instead of them looking for members. It's faster and more efficient.If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

I'm quite curious why it bothers people so much that one person has chosen to look for a faction in this fashion? If Foltern wants to have certain criteria met before choosing, there's nothing wrong with that. We all know that no faction is perfect. And no member is perfect. What is important is that each player in this game finds what they are looking for in order to make their gaming experience the best it can be for them. Some people want things one way, others another way. And maybe, instead of hopping from faction to faction, Foltern has decided the best way is to look here and have people post their information if they so choose. It doesn't hurt anybody. Live and let live, yes? b:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Where did you go, where did you go? How did you know to get out of a world gone mad? Help me let go of the chaos around me, the devil that hounds me. I need you to tell me "Child be still". If the darkest hour comes before the light, where is the light?0 -

-you are not able to survive without a permanent heal
-your "tanking" stresses the Cleric and **** their charm
-any other class can endure boss dmg when the Cleric heal is strong enough
-the high lvl Cleric you demand for your tanking is propably the better tank and can still deal damage, if he/she has to heal a lvl 64 archer there will be little time to attack
-your tanking does only rely on aggro by keeping the threat level up with damage, a barb or bm has got skills that can increase the threat level in addition
-you are not the best gurantee the aggro does not shift, simply because of your level, others will outdamage you. This can result into an aggro-ping-pong situation where your poor cleric has to heal f.e. you and a wizzard and can't build up full IH onto a single person
Hello actually.
I can survive without constant heal or serve as primary damage taker and damage dealer without a healer at all for some of those monsters. Also I feel personally, an archer with a very high attack and good defense is as special as a barb with alot of HP. Most people just don't invest the money into gear at my level.
If a faction member needs to get something done and a healer volunteers to help we can get it done in the event a barb is not online or available within a good timeframe. Of course I would not assume it's okay to run in on several mobs and expect good results. I was a healer first archer second. One major reason I retired it is be cause of MP usage. I would not "Do" I would "Ask" before ever entering that situation.
I can serve as primary damage taker and damage dealer with a healer my level. do not need a high level pure magic healer.
Your right a barb has aggro holding skills which I do not have. However when it comes to killing one mob, Parties need to use those skills to protect me from taking the aggro from them using regular +3 attack bolts and no MP skills. I like to serve as tank when I can, I can deal damage unrestrained and use focus powder. Of course I cannot protect an entire party from a group of mobs. Perhaps only if I use barrage of arrows, which is not the same as holding mobs at all. It's just dealing more damage.
Also your right, I cannot guarantee in all possible parties I can or will hold aggro. However 99% of the time I can and I do if that is my purpose in that party. Otherwise if another person is supposed to tank it's my job to try not to steal it from them. While I am only level 64, There are not so many players who can outdamage me, Even over level 70 or more. My Physical attack is 3267-5406 without buffs. for any level 64 player, This is alot.
Here is a link to an HD video where at level 63 I accidently outdamage a level 67 blademaster, Level 68 wizzard, And draw aggro from a level 86 Hercules pet. From the video you can clearly see that I take several pauses after a critical hit and make several pauses so I do not pull aggro. I was also using Bone Bolts and I did not use any skills which use MP. I've always said a strong archer pulls aggro a good archer does not. Well, I'm still learning. My point is that, If a real tank is unavailable to kill one of the monsters listed, It can be done if the proper class volunteers to assist. Perhaps a veno to pull from mob groups, A healer for healing me same as they would for a real tank and so fourth.
As you can see, I'm very careful not to pull monsters on me. I will of course if someone else is getting attacked so they are not killed.

I actually know a guild like that... I am just not sure if they are still around as seems most of their old members moved to TW guild. They fit to most of what you seek in the guild...
Try to find someone from "DarkSky" or DarkSky. I am not sure if their officers read forums or not.0 -

Hey Foltern, you spoke to me in-game and told me to post here. So here it goes. I hope you can give us a try even though we don't have 100% of the qualities you are looking for
1. Faction name: Myriad
2. Leader: DumbIedore
3. Do not have a website
4. We have forums and we also have a PWI-Thread. Forums: http://www.pwirival.proboards.com Thread: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=343881
5. We do not use any voice chat applications. I am not against them; I have just never tried them.
6. Faction activity varries depending on the time of day. There is usually around 10-18 people online around 6pm (pacific). And very few people on at night (around 3-5). Durring the day there is about 5-10.
7. Yes, we do TT runs. We have a faction donation system which helps pay for the subs we use.
8. We have not done "faction RB's", but we do have members who do RB's. Mostly gammas. I have never done an RB due to being extremely squishy. I plan on doing delta now that I have beefed up gear.
9. I honestly don't know if you are good for our faction. You seem to have too many in-game needs and wants. We are a small, friendly faction that cares more about friendship than all that. We can not attend to all your needs due to that fact. But while talking to you, I learned that you seem to want a faction that is like us. To get away from the drama and stupidity of the large faction world. I believe you are very active and have great potential. I just hope you can fit in with us and not be too "blunt". You seem to have leadership potential and in the future, it would be nice if you could help host some of the things you need (once everyone gets to know you).
10. We don't have much of a reputation because we are a relatively small faction. We have a reputation through our friends, but not through world chat and people who don't know us personally. But with reguards to our "inner-circle" reputation, it is a good one. Those who have come to us, and left, have left peacefully with no drama. Therefore even though they left, they still think highly of us, but we are just not right for them. We have an exelent reputation for our purpose: just to be friends and enjoy the game in a relaxed, friendly, stress-free environment.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to better understand the type of faction I am seeking. I like what you said and I appreciate your honesty. I will analyze what you have said and ask any questions at a later time. I can assure you , That I will take Myriad into heavy consideration. Thank you so much.
I can summarize my needs with the following:
A faction leader should remove problem members. Make mature decisions based on the needs of the faction. Not favor and protect their friends etc or let the faction be ran by drama. Faction should not irritate and attack other players in Wc. Their reputation will be my new reputation. I am not interested in that.
A faction that can assist me with my own quests and RB's. That is fairly basic and understandable. Ive been in factions where I am one of the most powerful players and nobody can help me but I can spend all my time burning mp and hp for them. That is not fun and doesn't allow me to progress through the game.
A faction that has active people. Many times I have been in dead factions and couldn't get help when I needed it for days on end. Or because there is only one tank who is online during the weekends only. Again, There is no reason to be in a faction that cannot assist me in making progress through the game.
Voip is highly desired for regular chat and squad chat. In my opinion, That line of communication is important and adds a whole new dynamic to the faction. It's nice to laugh and chat with other people and talk to them. I can talk and grind but typing and grinding is much less savory and it's more difficult to get things done quickly in squads. I prefer voip because I have acute arthritis and carpal tunnel. The less I type the better.
So you can see that what I ask is simple and reasonable really, overall. ^_^
Regards.0
