Gaming information:

Describe your average gaming week to give us an idea about your playtimes, with approximate hours for each day, in GMT time zone.
There can be weeks that i play alot in every day and weeks that i play just few days or weekends. But atm i could say i play around 1-5h per day.

Our most active playtimes are between 7 and 10 PM GMT, do these suit you?
Mostly yes.

Do you consider yourself as a casual, semi-hardcore or hardcore gamer? What is your ingame age for instance (type /age in game)?
Something between casual and semi-hardcore. Also depens alot which game we talk about, but in GW2 its like i said before.

Which MMOG's have you played and how did you fare in them?
Only World of Warcraft. Very good, in PVE i have been in HC Raid and PVP doing arenas little over 2k ratings. Also im played few rated battlegrounds.

Describe your character in GW2 (name, race, profession, level, crafting, style (damage, support, control)).
Wèera, Human, Guardian, 80, Weaponsmithing atm 385 and Armorsmithing 400, Im now spec to make damage but in future i have plan to craft some support gear (healing).

Describe what you enjoy doing the most in GW2 and why?
Doing things like WvW, events, dungeons etc with friends and guild mates. Why? Because i hate playing mp games alone or with randoms.

What previous experience do you have in a Guild environment?
I have been in officer positions on my wow guild and i am atm Co Leader position in another GW2 Guild.

What do you expect of a Guild?
Friendly players, highly organized and doing a lot things together.

How did you hear about Semper Dius?
Was on WvW and saw big group of your members and ask can i join to your guild and they tell me to come here.

Are you currently in, or applying to, another GW2 guild?
Im in three GW2 guilds atm.
Levitation - Almost dead
Yövieraat - Mostly dead too, im there Co Leader and good IRL Friend of Leader who is not playing GW2 anymore. This guild is only for ppl from my country.
Thorin and Company - Active. Im there because last ones i have joined in are died.

How active do you use forums & TS3?
What comes to forum activity im dont have time to check them every day, since i have already more than 10 forums to check atleast once in week. But if there is like some kind of calendar to game events, i can check it as often i see its necessary, to make sure im signed in upcoming events at the time. Yes im going to use TS3 all the time when i play, thats one of the reasons why im applying this guild.

Is there anything else you would like to share?
My english is not best as possible, like you can see. I mostly understand what ppl talking about but if i try say something on TS3 it mostly sounds like i have hot potatoe in my mouth at same time... So do not expect me to talk much in there.

Hello Wèera, and welcome to the forums

Could you maybe describe your playstyle? You said damage guardian but that could mean a lot. For example, I - as a guardian - like setting things on fire But most of the time I like playing a support shout build. If you could put your build in this it would certainly be great: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/

You didn't mention your in-game age. (That's what shows if you type "/age" in the chat box in-game.) So how long have you been playing?

Generally we expect members to play WvW 3 evenings in a week (or more), unless of course real life intervenes for whatever reason. Do you think you could manage 3 nights?

In game age: 106h 33minutes with my guardian. Total 232h 29min. I forgot to mention that i got also lvl 80 Mesmer, but i dont have any plans to play with it. Because it wasnt my class.

I can try to play three evenings in week but i cant promise anything.

I dont have yet any sigils or runes. I plan to buy or craft some good set of them when i get exotic gear pieces (now full rare). And yes my build is made to do alot of condition damage. Atm im looking to upgrade my Accesories, amulet and rings. The reason why my gear isnt yet so good is that i ding to 80 few days ago. I hope this is not obstacle to join your guild.

Hi there

I have a question about your guilds. We have a one guild rule and even though a very few have other guilds that concists of friends, most are only in Dius and at least represent us 95% of the time, definately at "prime time" at night.

How would you feel about leaving/not representing your other guilds?

Also I would like to know if you read any books and if so what you like?

I can leave two of three guilds if its going to be problem on my process. Only one i would to stay is the one where im Co Leader atm because there is alot of my in real life friends and it could cause some shit if i leave their guild in game where u can be in multiple guilds at same time. And what come to representing, im going to represent your guild all the time. And i read only books that i need to learn different things. So no i dont read books in way you mean it.

I have not thought about it yet, but im sure i find some good set, to fit my needs when its time.

As a guardian how do you feel about berzerker(pow/pres/crit)/knight(pow/pres/tough) gear?

Dont know yet which one is best in WvW and can i play them as melee class? Because i think that the ranged classes are not made to me :l I find out that condition spec works very well in leveling. Also i think im going to focus on support gear when i just get enough money/materials to craft some. I have been played Holy Paladin in World of Warcraft (like Guardian in GW2, only heavy armor support class) since 2008 so i think it feels more "normal" to me.

Can i know why its declined?

Hello Weera,

You are of course allowed to know why we have decided to deline your application. We discussed your application for quite a long time but there are a few negatives for us that outweighed the positives. And because we currently have about 70 active members, we don't see the need to make ecceptions.

The main worries were about your activeness and experience with the game. We play daily WvW and expect our members to join atleast 3 guild activities per day with preferable, their best charakter. There were some other factors as well but those had less impact on the voting.

We wish you good luck with finding a suitable guild. Cya in game!

Is it possible to re apply later if i can be sure that i have more time to play and doing better my job in game? Also i think my gear was one of reasons to got declined too. I dont want to advertise or anything like that but i want to mention that i just craft 6 set of exotic healing gear and respec for support. Next im going to upgrade other gear pieces like accessories, amulet, rings and few of my weapons. I just find out that the support class is nice to play (i realy like it) when u have some kind of team but it realy sucks if u got just bunch of randoms who dont mind to help you if u r going to support them

Hello Weera,

Everyone is free to re-apply later on .
