Need a Guild Wars 2 Brosef (or advice.)

Post Reply New Topic

Here's the deal. I'm feeling lonely whenever I play video games and I used to have so much fun playing with other people. Back in the N64 days it was my best friend and some of his friends snd sometimes my acquaintances. We would hit up GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, horse around, laugh, create in-jokes and it was a grand old time. After a long dry spell I found some awesome people to hang around with in World of WarCraft and we kept up our fun in the sun even as the guilds around us crumbled. Remember the Ulduar patch? That was my golden moment, SO much fun with SO many different people, but I managed to be part of a clique which made me feel even happier. Well, people grow apart and I find myself alone again. It's been that way for MONTHS. Even one of my last few reliable friends hasn't returned my email for weeks, and we're on different schedules.

Guild Wars 2 is coming out in less than a month. This is the game I want to play for a long time and it'd be a damn shame to play it by myself like I did with the original. Now I don't want some random dude I occasionally type to and do a dungeon with twice a week, I want a brosef, so to speak. Someone who'll shoot the crap with me in Skype, someone who has a sense of humor, someone who has a similar schedule to mine. Somewhere along the time of (EST) 9-10AM in the mornings to 5PM would be perfect. Already have a server in mind and I'm raring to go. (Although I assume with launch with a full character wipe the server shouldn't matter TOO much...)

One little thing, if you're reading this and thinking "Oh snap, this guy's McSkat Kat and if I join up we'll make a terrible 80's music video together because THERE'S NOTHING TO DO" or "You know what, I'm British and it's raining and miserable and here I am sipping a cup of whatever 40oz I nicked off that homeless guy" then I only have one rule.

Please be 18+, because anyone younger isn't someone I can bro out with. I don't care what your gender is. Adversely, if you have some advice on how to meet people during my gameplay let me know. I've lost that magic touch. I have a vague idea of joining a guild and hodgepodging around with people until something sticks but I've had so many bad guild experiences it puts me off. I don't really know how to find someone agreeable.

As a quick aside, in case you're going to play GW2 as well and think this might be fun, some factoids about me:

1. I like to talk if I'm not too bummed out, and when I do I make jokes, a lot of which aren't politically correct. I also curse. Sometimes I'm silent for long periods of time for whatever reason.

2. I love mockery, self-deprecating humor, and sometimes sarcasm, and someone who'll play off of me. For instance I remember in WoW I would start talking over vent in a German accent and then my raid leader joined in and the rest was magic, everyone had a whole new layer added on top of their raiding.

Lemee know what you think. Advice? Questions? Thanks. Strike up a conversation with me here even. Whatevs.

Well I am ready for Guild Wars 2 Headstart/Launch. Course the server I'm going to is Scavenger's Causeway. So maybe I can persuade you to go to that one if you aren't already xD. Also, have a large group of friends with me going to that server. (They are 18+ actually more in their late 20s). We are planning to be a guild of course and a good number of us are from Pacific and Eastern time zones. I like to talk too of course. For your #2, maybe one of my pals would like your humor. Also I'm scared. Very scared.

I was going to be on Sea of Sorrows but settling on a home during beta season is like going to a junkyard, hopping into a rusted car frame and making 'vroom vroom' sounds while wondering why you haven't made it to the store yet. Everything will be wiped when the headstart hits so I have no problem going to Scavenger's Causeway. I have no problem joining a guild. I'm glad you like to talk, and I appreciate that you're scared, because I forgot to mention I feed off of fear.

Thanks for the message, I feel better now. I was horrified that I may have started playing GW2 alone, shivering in the 90+ degree weather. Keep me up to date with what's going down, I'm definitely excited about this.

We do have a teamspeak server xD. Are you a Fear consuming creature of the night? There is multi guild support in GW2 at least.

Multi guild support made me happy, seeing asit means I can focus more on the guilds I'd want to associate with (including mine that I have planned) through one account... I do need a decent PC to play though >.>

I'm going to call my guild "Knights of the Blood" which I took from watching Sword Art Online xD

So do you guys know each other in real life or did you all meet up in another game? What other MMO's have you played? How big is this guild going to be?

What is the focus of the guild going to be?

Half of us met in real life while the others I met on WoW. I have played Earth and Beyond, Eve Online, World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxies, Planetside, etc. It's going to be casual with friends. The focus will be pve/pvp. Also I have prepared a backup server in case the first choice is not available.

Hey, since we both have headstart it'll be difficult to coordinate which server everyone is going to so if you have a skype PM your name so we can talk a little while we wait for launch. Because I'm going to want to play as soon as that game goes live. Been loving the beta and stress tests.

I saw you PM'ed me some teamspeak info so as soon as I figure that out I'll hop on there too. Never used it before but it shouldn't be too difficult to get going.

Whatever server you choose make sure it's high population, that game demands a ton of people running around for that epic feel!
