    [Excalibur] Order of the Blue Garter: Open Recruitment Season Continues

    http://cdn.guildwork.net/albums/imag...126f6ddf75.jpg

    Order of the Blue Garter: We Can Stay On the Roomba

    We are a competitive, cutting-edge, endgame-oriented FC that values pride in our gameplay, humility among our peers, and a sense of humor about ourselves.

    http://cdn.guildwork.net/albums/imag...126f6ddf76.jpg

    And we try to have a good time along the way. Our goal has always been to compete to the best of our ability, whether that means being the first FC in the world to clear Turn 8 with two consecutive groups and then clear Turn 9, or casually tackle Turn 7 Savage.

    Currently, we are looking to shore up our roster to allow us to have one extremely solid progression group and a second support/feeder group with enough depth to keep those groups pushing for as long as it takes to clear the content. Our bench will be used to help fill out spots when other players are unavailable and contribute to strat discussions. Typically, we ask our players to be able to put in 12+ hours a day for at least three to seven days or so of new content, then we scale back according to everyone's needs. To put things into perspective, when we were working on Twintania, the last month consisted of six days of attempts per week on average, four to six hours a day, but for a while we were maintaining eight-hour days; right now, we put time into Savage Coil four days a week, two to six hours each day. We raid based around Pacific Standard/Daylight Time peak hours (see our application/trial guidelines page for more information; link is at the bottom of the post).

    The most important thing to us is competing against ourselves and pushing our capabilities to the utmost. We can sum it all up in one word: "carefactor." (If it wasn't one word before, it is now.) How much do you care about your gameplay and how it affects your team? Are you the type of player that always asks yourself, "What can *I* do to turn this attempt into a win for us -- how can I make everyone else's jobs easier?" As an FC, that's the core value that unites us: the drive to be better for ourselves and for each other.

    We are happy to consider exceptional players of any job, but we're specifically looking for main healers and tanks. We want healers who live and breathe output and efficiency, who can mindmeld with bosses and predict incoming damage to the point where the heal resolves milliseconds after the damage lands. We want main tanks who understand WAR/PLD synergy, can snap-aggro so hard that bosses' heads explode, and use cooldowns so perfectly healers can't even tell there's incoming damage.

    If you have any questions, please first refer to our FC rules and our guidelines for the application and trial process. If you have anything further to ask, feel free to post here or privately contact me on guildwork.

    To apply, pull the trigger at: http://bluegarter.guildwork.com/recruitment

    Thanks.

    We're still recruiting for 2.0; exceptional players are welcome in any roles, though we're still particularly interested in WHMs. If you're someone who never really stuck with 1.0, that's fine as long as you can convince us you're worth an investment.

    edit:
    Since this comes up a lot: we are tentatively looking at a 4-day/week schedule, 4+ hours a day (Mon-Thurs 5 PM PST/8 PM EST to 9 PM PST/12 AM EST), but this is obviously subject to change as we learn more about the shape of content and potential lockouts. For most of 1.0 post-AV/CC, we ran mandatory events 3 days a week, but ended up farming 5+ days a week for varying amounts of time. Realistically, for world-first attempts, we expect people to be able to set aside at least a few days, 12+ hours a day, but we will scale back as necessary and utilize roster depth to prevent burnout.

    As stated in the original post, you can PM me here or on GW, or take the time to put up an app @ bluegarter.guildwork.com. If you want more background information, read our About Us page and check out some of our front page posts.

    For anyone interested in playing with us in phase 3, we have several trial members who will be rolling new characters on Durandal to test leveling and participate in the new low-level dungeons, so that would be a good opportunity to get to know us.

    We are currently debating which server we'll be transferring to, as Durandal is designated JP region, and we're going to play on an NA server for phase 4 and retail.

    For phase 3, if anyone wants to run with us, we'll be on Durandal with our old characters. For retail, we've officially decided on Excalibur.

    Hey guys.

    I'm a new player to FF14 but a major MMORPG vet, and moreso than being interested in joining a guild at the moment, I'm interested in finding a static group with players who actually have the ability exceed at their class. From reading this thread and creeping your site, it seems as though the players in this guild knows its stuff.

    Not really asking to join at the moment, though I'm not opposed to it at all - I just like to play with people first rather then type 5000 words in a recruitment interview about how l33t I am, only to later find out it's probably not the best fit.

    Just wondering if this guild has a static that's short a person or two and could use an extra player who knows what he's doing, at least for the first couple of days. I'm looking to put in about 16-20+ hours for the first 2-4 days or so and would love to find a couple others with the dedication and sense of humor to put up with me

    If you'd like to say hello on Durandal in phase 3 once we get access to legacy characters, or Excalibur for phase 4, you can send me a tell and I can give you a social pearl. Until then, we're on Coeurl.

    Will do. I have a few jobs at level 25ish on Bahamut but I was planning on playing via legacy server anyway, as I figured the more competitive guilds would probably end up there making the experience more enjoyable.

    I'm pretty sure Durandal is JP (I think?) but I'll start a fresh character there and check it out.

    It is; we'll only be playing on Durandal because our 1.0 characters will be there for phase 3, then we're moving to Excal.
