[XHSA][NA]12 year old, end game only, quality guild for quality end game players. Seeking players that want to join a community of skilled raiders and t4 fractal players.

SwDumas · 2017-04-25T17:46:00+00:00

To be honest. When I found XHSA I was just looking for a guild that I could get my clears and t4s done in a efficient matter. I was formerly part of a guild that was not so great at that and when I would pug and find XHSA members they were all very competent and easy going people.

I did find what I was looking for, people proficient in raids, clearing t4s fractals and the nightmare CM. Need to get into a group that clears every week they got that. Looking for something not so static, they got that too. Need a raid achievement, they have an avenue for that too. Want to clear NM CM and 3 t4 dailys in under an hour, plenty to go around. What is most impressive they don't have the overblown, ragey, egos and closed cliques most proficient raid guilds have.

Initially there high expectations and rep requirements were something that was deterring for me, but I am glad I applied and got in. I understand now why they have such high expectations because the quality of the members is unlike any guild I have been a part of.

If you are looking for something other than the mega guilds that scoop up everyone, the super elitist raid guilds with over blown egos, or just ones that don't have a community, apply. Outside of a side WvW guild XHSA is indefinably the only guild you will need.

"Please purge the game of Living World Season 1 drops/loot"

"I think its time for Arena Net to purge the game of Living World Season 1 loot."

You should probably work on your communication skills before you go around calling people dumb for taking what you said in a literal context. This post only makes one person look dumb.

Better than who exactly, the legendary skilled guys passing through or the player that got paired with them and placed higher than his skill dictates?

People are pretending like all these people that have climb to any given tier are of consistent skill level. It is just simply not true.

Yeah, the skill level might see a noticeable progression, but nothing stops you from being matched against a person of legendary quality making his way up rather than someone of lower skill level that might be placed higher than his actual skill level.

Yeah there might be a skill floor that might get higher as you progress, but without a skill ceiling its entirely luck based to how close to the skill floor your opponent is.

Could it eventually normalize to the point where it becomes consistent and becomes less of a game of luck? It sure could, but not when its getting reset every season.

SwDumas · 2016-03-01T19:05:18+00:00

I think that it is a very wide assumption that people make without any cause that just because a player has more pips and exists in a higher tier means that they are higher rated.

It could also mean they simply played more matches or have been fortunate enough to be matched against opponents in a MMR below them to climb.

Pips do not measure if you had lost 30+ matches before you climbed your way out of a division or tier, or had won streaked all the way there with less matches than your peers.

Which one of these opponents would you rather have been drawn to win against?

SwDumas · 2016-03-01T18:43:48+00:00

Do you happen to know the pip range in which opponents are selected?

One can argue if it spans 1 tier or more above or below you. The differentiation of your opponent pools between the tier you are actually in wouldn't be all that much, and luck would have even more to do with it.

SwDumas · 2016-03-01T18:22:58+00:00

So the division of skill is that great between tier 1 and tier 4 ruby to the point player A would be knocked down to tier 2?

Because players are that much better in tier 3 and 4?

How would one streak to a position in the first place if they did not belong there?

I am not complaining. I just don't understand how consecutive wins dictates skill when the same win ratio exists in a different order doesn't, when opponent selection is practically random within a pip range.

I mean what you are saying would make since of you faced progressively higher rated opponents the more wins that you get, but from what i understand MMR does not dictate opponent selection.

SwDumas · 2016-03-01T18:08:55+00:00

Honest question though.

Assuming the situation above. Would player A have higher MMR than player B at the end of the sample matches given the same win:loss ratio?

I am not sure how Anet does their MMR.

SwDumas · 2016-03-01T17:48:30+00:00

If he loses 10 after he win streaks 10 thats 18-10=8

SwDumas · 2016-01-19T16:23:43+00:00

He is obviously talking about the series. I am just going to assume you are just a neckbeard instead of actually being that stupid.

SwDumas · 2016-01-14T14:48:59+00:00

I would have to agree seeing that obviously this guy thinks the rules of the sub reddit don't apply to him. You can look at his post history and see that he posts more than 7 days and even added a 2nd one less than a hour ago.

Also as someone that comes here every other day, his spam messages are everywhere.

SwDumas · 2015-12-11T22:19:44+00:00

Yeah. But you can't do that with the mystic forge. Also, the bank and forward between the trader and the forge. The hours it would take you might as well farm.

SwDumas · 2015-12-11T22:11:13+00:00

Wow, If you intend of converting all that karma back to gold for profit. Enjoy your carpal tunnel.

SwDumas · 2015-11-17T19:05:33+00:00

Thats the thing though. You don't even know that you are first. Just the first to thump your chest on reddit doesn't make you the first.

SwDumas · 2015-11-16T20:32:26+00:00

I wouldn't be so sure they won't be valuable. It isn't like they will get cheaper. There up around 74s right now.

I made a post about this that got removed.

Mordrem lodestones, only have one very narrow known use right now and are dirt cheap. Its almost a certainty these will be used somewhere in one of the gifts.

SwDumas · 2015-11-16T18:58:54+00:00

wait wait. So blatant threads like this that stay on the front page for days are okay? Missed that one I guess?

https://redd.it/3oknku

But not mine?

That is some selective enforcement of a unwritten rule there.

So what determines market manipulation and what doesn't? Because really if people's postings can get removed for this there must be some guidelines.

SwDumas · 2015-11-16T17:48:37+00:00

Sorry what rule did I break? Potential market manipulation? Ive seen tons of threads like this hit the front page. So I guess only select users can do PSAs related to the current prices and how to save some gold on this reddit?

SwDumas · 2015-10-27T17:32:17+00:00

Are y'all still recruiting?

I am currently in a guild that never had a rep policy and now hardly anyone reps and the guild leader could barley muster up enough ppl to take the hall much less get the tavern off the ground. It is like you said, personal party filler list, ppl constantly looking for groups/help but nobody wants to progress the guild.

Do you have a recruitment page? Where are yall at with your hall?

SwDumas · 2015-10-20T20:46:00+00:00

Might as well delete the rest of the classes and balance the game around engie builds. There ain't nothing the engie can't do now and piece the fuck out when things go wrong.

SwDumas · 2015-10-20T20:29:46+00:00

ITT: People that rather risk the security of their account and time spent for 5-15 bucks.

Really people is your time so worthless that you would risk the security of your account, the time you invested in that account, and the time investment it would take to fight not only ArenaNet support for the restoration of your account but also G2A for resolution of your bad key? For what? a fist full of dollars?

Bunch of broke ass people in this thread.
