Ginvited this cat after three

garreth — Mon, 11/03/2008 - 10:02

Ginvited this cat after three months.

For the following reasons:

  1. Was on almost every time I was online
  2. Ran stuff with us
  3. Stayed active on the site and had decent input
  4. Was very generous with materials to help with our various mat pushes (sharaz, felmyst, etc)

Always good to see someone stick it out.  We're very very heavy on hunters, but I think he'll make a great addition.

P.S. Stay active and helpful or I'm booting your ass.

Love, Garreth.

LOL ok sorry "young adult" I forget LOL. He did a good job and he doesn't sound like a kid either LOL. When i called him out about his pet i didn't know he was a minor until I re-read his app before I posted last night. Regardless he knows his stuff & IMO would make a good addition to downfall

Deleyna — Wed, 10/22/2008 - 00:43

ran kara with this kid tonight & i honestly forgot he was young. LOL anyway he did a very good job & i even praised him on being one of the few hunters running on gorg NOT sporting the new annoying ground shaking 2-headed dogs for a pet. He did well and knew exactly what to do when to do it
Much love to this kid. Hope you get in

Spagett — Thu, 09/04/2008 - 20:23

   Well i'm back from my week-absence, back to school stuff mainly, but now i've returned and i'm ready to play :)

    Thanks for the bump garreth, i understand that being a hunter doesn't entitle me to many endgame raids, but i wouldn't mind putting that asside considering in WotLK (which should be here in 2 months or so) a hunter could be more usefull than before. Although i do enjoy participating in raids, i wouldn't mind sitting on the bench and pvping untill WotLK is released :)

    And for Derchlon, yes i do have a pve set, i've been pvping lately though, but from now on i'll make it a note to log off in my raid set ^_^ 

thanks for the bumps.

garreth — Mon, 08/18/2008 - 13:25

I had a really fun time with this guy ganking horde in Tanaris last night. He's very generous and has already donated dozens of primals to our guild bank. Seems like the kind of person we'd like to have around.

But, as a hunter, you MUST know that there is very little end game available to you. Maybe, MAYBE, on the weekend T5 runs.

Hit me back here.

Do you have some PvE gear

Derchlon — Tue, 08/19/2008 - 02:08

Do you have some PvE gear you could log out in, or do you just run with PvP gear so far?

Paranoia is a great hunter,

binbomsj — Fri, 08/01/2008 - 17:07

Paranoia is a great hunter, an active player, and a good friend. He knows his class better then any hunter i have played with. He is always willing to help. I feel sincerely that he will be a great asset to Downfall

What's the new armory

Welcome to Gorg...see ya soon!

Along those lines, Paranoia

Dufe — Mon, 07/28/2008 - 18:30

Along those lines, Paranoia found me online adn pst'd me for an H SP.  He did quite well in his role as a hunter, and handled group leading far better than I would expect from a 15 year old.  Keep looking for us and running things with us - you're headed the right direction.

Aidin's picture

Thank you for your

Aidin — Mon, 07/28/2008 - 13:52

Thank you for your application to Downfall. We are not currently recruiting for our 25 man MH/BT/SW raids. This does not mean that your application is or will be rejected. What it does mean, is that you will now be faced with a few tasks.

Downfall is a community first and foremost and a successful raiding guild second. First you need to ask yourself what it is you want from Downfall. If it's a spot in end game raid, and nothing more...then you may want to seek entry into another one of the many guilds on Gorgonnash.

If you desire a strong sense of community then get ready to work for it! When we talk about community, we aren't talking about the type of community that jumps when you say OMGRUNMYALTTHRUVC!!!! We're talking about a group for people who love this game we pour our lives into, people who will run things with you when they have time, people who may have their own special way of contributing to the community.

Now that you have applied (and if my wall of text didn't lose u 2 paragraphs ago), don't just sit there and hope someone will come hunt you down and say "HERE'S YOUR INVITE!!" because that simply will not happen. Those who gain entry into Downfall work for it. Members have waited upwards of 3 months or more to be part of our community. How do you ensure that you have every option to be the next addition?

Here's an idea:

  • Stay active on this thread, it's your application. You will receive feedback and recommendations. Don't take anything personal, if you can't take constructive criticism, you will never make it in guild chat. Applications are open to the entire community, not just officers, so if you were a douche to a member in the past, be ready for it to bite you in the ass.
  • If given goals to meet, make them.
  • Sign up for events you can make and which you are geared for. No need to sign up for MH/BT/SW, as those aren't testing grounds for new members. Focus on the Sunday Gruul/Mag run by yours truly or the Saturday SSC/TK run by Grasen.
  • If you sign up...show up. No one likes an app who signs up for all raids and never shows.
  • Download the raid pack. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT show up to a Gruul/Mag or SSC/TK without our required add ons. If you do not understand what you are looking at, then research it. If you still don't understand, post you're question and someone will help you. (If you think only bad players use mods, we can say our goodbyes right now)
  • Do everything you can to get your name out there, and show why you should be part of our community. Run 5 mans, Run 10 mans, participate in forum discussions.

If and when you are accepted into Downfall, you are strictly on a trial basis. If we invite you because you convinced us you were the worlds greatest healer/tank/random dps class, and you looooooooooove to run 5 mans...but you never run a thing, you never sign up for fun runs, and you burn out and don't sign on for 1+ months, don't be surprised if you find yourself guildless on log in one day.

It's very simple, don't say what we want to hear just to get in,
because it will haunt you in the end. Be honest, and we will be fair.

With that said....GOOD LUCK ON YOUR APPLICATION!

Aidin — Mon, 07/28/2008 - 11:36

You server transfered already? What are your plans if you aren't accepted into Downfall? Have you app'ed elsewhere?

Spagett's picture

Spagett — Mon, 07/28/2008 - 11:52

well truthfully no, i didn't apply anywhere else, if all goes well i'll be accepted here. Although if not, i'll try to find another raid guild with a strong comunity focus.
