Looking for SG


BindW

 

Posted

I'm looking for a new SG. I looked through previous posts by SGs recruiting, but it's hard to see which would fit what I am looking for, so I thought posting might be the way to go.

I'm a mature player with several years in MMORPGs, including running a guild in DAoC (Iron Wolves on Prydwen server) and playing a fair amount of WoW and SWG. At the moment I am online quite a lot, evenings and weekends, but like many longtime players, I am trying not to overdo it or RL gets tricky.

I am relatively new to CoV. Started a couple of months ago but had the last 3 weeks out of the country so haven't played during that time. My main is a level 24 Mind/Psy Dom. I didn't play CoH. I'm in an SG, but it is not active enough, so I want to move.

I'm looking for the following from an SG:

- Friendly players who get along well. I can be quite chatty when not in missions
- Active (at least 5-10 people on primetime, preferrably more)
- No voice (such as TS/Vent), I'm just not into it
- PvP is likely to be important to me, so an SG with PvP focus would be ideal
- Some SG/Coalition raids would be nice, though not essential
- SG website would be cool, but not a must

I'm a team-player and am quite happy to contribute by turning up to SG stuff, and helping any way I can.

My global chat handle is @Sheriff Fatman, send me ingame if you think I might suit your SG and wanna chat about it. Or you could reply to this thread, of course

good luck with your search, i would say to come over to devastation, but we are full to the brim.
just one thing, if your expecting to find a serious SG then not wanting to use voice comms might be a problem.

If you create a female character, we're always looking for people like you!

We're a serious SG, but we don't use teamspeak!

Peat - Like Identiy said we would love to have you on board... but we are full to the brim

On average we have 5-15 online each night we a mix of lvl's from 5-40

We have a website, forums and voice coms.. as I believe the best part of the community is having a laugh online with your mates and voice coms just helps to build bonds between people..

It's a shame you are such a non-believer!! as for PvP we love it...

You should check us out

Thanks for the replies.

I'll keep the Femme Fatals in mind if I ever create a female char

Although I don't wanna start a whole "pros and cons of voice" thread here, I would like to say a couple of things about my position. There are a couple of reasons I don't want to use voice.

First is practical - I live in a flat with my wife, the computer is pretty near the TV, and I don't want to subject her to listening to me on a 3-hour phone conversation type thing every night.

Second is gameplay. PvP in most games is already quite twitchy. I like the excitement as much as the next person, but I kinda like the way keeping everything in text slows down fights just that little bit and puts more emphasis on individuals to understand what they need to do in a fight rather than getting info from someone else.

The third is roleplay. I'm not a huge RP person when it comes to computer games, but there is just enough suspension of disbelief for me to feel some atmosphere in them. Listening to a booming male voice shouting "TAKE THE ONES BEHIND!" or some such when his character is a woman in a spandex leotard kinda kills that for me :P

We don't use it because most of think it takes something away from the gameworld...I prefer to speak to the character on screen, rather than someone for 'real'.

And obviously in a "girls only" SG where not all of us are really girls, it'd be.....well weird!

Hey PeatBog,

you might want to try and contact @Mr Nice. We're a medium sized SG. We have both a villanous and Hero SG but if you're looking for friendly and helpful people you might want to look him up or contact me @gandrel. Although I mostly get on during the weekend or late nights.

btw our SG on villains is called The Degenerates. We'd love to have ya

Anyways good luck to ya

What? Are you saying it's weird that a character called Ms. Freedom speaks with a deep(ish) London accent?!

im sure theres a link to my SGs pages around here somewhere, we're kinda in the middle of all that, but good people

as for the PDs and Femmes who have both posted here, we are in coalition. I get on when I can and can chat forever, so wont go on here, typing would not be my strong point unless im at work

Don't pay Pyra or Confess to much attention PeatBog. They obviously didn't get the latest issue of ParaFashion, CoH's leading fashion magazine for those that didn't know. Speedos where voted #1 for mens wear in December of last year. Of course they were prolly to busy browsing through the pink skirts and tops and finding the matching high heels to go with it

PS : Thanks for giving me a good chuckle at work Pyra, unfortunately i couldn't post sooner as i forgot my password

Couldnt remember his password........sounds like those speedos are too tight.

And whats wrong with accessorizing? Careful how you answer Gand.....am sure Pyra is listening too.

And please, platforms not high heels!

Well I can mostly just speak for Pyra, She wouldn't know good taste if it came up and slapped her in the face & judging by your pigtails...well you wouldn't either

Now excuse me I've got to find a rock to hide under

PS : hope peatbog found his SG

Hmmm here gand let me drop this moon sized boulder on you, just so you have "a rock to hide under".

Pfft, wouldnt know taste if I attached it too a moon sized boulder and dropped it on him!
