I'll take a Bat Country Invite!  User sidereal

I'm underleveled for the count, but have occasional success with a Burn deck that's small (14ish?  I can look later), uses all 4 Lightning Reflexes and my highest damage attacks.   Success depends entirely on the Count's moves.  If I can get the Reflexes, Spiders, and big Lightning spells clumped up and he's just doing his dual-attack w/ 6 heal I can burn him down just before I run out of cards.  On average I can get him to drop to about 35 or so.  Kills are rare.

PS.  WHERE IS MY INVITE ALREADY??

Sent.  I WAS WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO TELL ME WHO THEIR MAINS ARE BEFORE INVITING.

[Delmania]

Delmania, inv plz.

[Pezzle]

I have decided to make another character.  Who wants an apprentice?

[Righ]

I do.

My PvP record is terrible.  As is my PvE record.  I can't seem to find a good balance between offense and defense.

[Lantyssa]

I've found going with a mostly offensive deck is best.  I have at most four or five armor cards in any given deck unless they give other nice bonuses.

The only exception is my spirit build.  Four armor, four ward, a couple of will, and 25-ish points of spirit damage.  It still can't beat a high damage deck, though it did beat a two-on-one when I was gathering once.

Advice for your guys's guild:

Organize your teams, asap. You want a minimum of 12 players for three teams; fill yourself out with alts if you have to.

The fights take place in teams of four.

In each team of four, you want to do one of two things:

Option One:

- Three players use 100% damage and powerup cards, no armor or ward
- One player uses 100% focus cards

Option Two:

- Two players use 100% damage and powerup cards, no armor or ward
- One player uses 100% combination protect and armor/ward cards
- One player uses 100% focus cards

We only have six of our thirteen slots filled.  Apparently the rush to join our awesomeness didn't happen.

[Pezzle]

We can go on being awesome (and elitist!) without them.

[Hoax]

I've been offline for most of the month, back now but still catching up on shit.  I'll have selected a main character by Monday and will need a spot.   

[ezrast]

I made a character that'll join once he's leveled but I'm not letting myself play much while I have school stuff to do, so... it might be a while. Are there particular party roles that need filling? I've been thinking warden looks fun.

[Lantyssa]

At this point, I think alts can fill in our vacancies.  We can always kick them if someone wants to join up.

I haven't done much teaming, so I don't know how the group dynamics work out.  All I know is I'm going Scout->Rogue->Deathknight and I make the rest up as I go along.

[FatuousTwat]

Ok, signed up using ezrast's char. Name in game is Hurion.

I've just made 3 characters.  One will be a slayer, one a paladin, the other a inquisitor.

I love the setup of the game so far.

Keep a spot for Righa please. I don't know how to join - do you have to invite?

[Lantyssa]

I sent you an invite.

The easiest way is probably telling us here.  Otherwise you can search for the guild "Bat" (the search doesn't recognize spaces) and ask for an invite, or search for Lantyssa and ask for one.

[Pezzle]

We have recruitment room.  You can invite my alt Smilingjack if you like Lantyssa.  He will be a Berserker!

[FatuousTwat]

Is there a minimum level needed in order to join? If not, mind inviting me? (Hurion)

[Lantyssa]

Officers should have invite capability, too.  Since I'm making all the mains I know officers, any of should be able to do it.

[sidereal]

I refer you to my invite request dated the 3rd of April, 2009.

[Delmania]

Invite sent.  So what's next on our guild buildings?

[Lantyssa]

I refer you to my invite request dated the 3rd of April, 2009.

I sent it.  I don't know why you ignored me.  Or if the mailman got eaten by a Grue.

[sidereal]

Perhaps the interface has pwned me, then.  I don't see any indication anywhere that I have an invite.  I have 0 private messages.

[Delmania]

So, I am not certain what other people are doing, but I've been grinding some of the various dungeons in Gaea's Dawn and Skyrift.  The distance between the cities requires me to use a moving job, so I am at 125 on Horse Riding rank 2.  I've also been more aggressive in attacking players with a deck that focuses on sword, shadow, and spirit attacks, with a sorted arrangment of armor, ward, empowerments, and sacrifice cards placed in.  I've been doing ok, but not great.  Still having a surprising amount of fun in this game.

[sidereal]

It's nice to play a game deep enough that I can faff around between Pet Racing, Arena fights, and grinding skills without getting bored.  Might be a keeper.  Also, the Wizards Study is ready for the guild and needs builders.

[Lantyssa]

I'm wandering around the northeast cities.  Been collecting some nice upgrades and have some evil decks if the cards play out right.  Had a 250 damage hit today.

It's costing me a lot of gold though, so I haven't had any to donate to construction lately.

[sidereal]

I haven't found anything to do with money yet, so I've been pretty generous with the cash.  The stuff I can craft is pretty cheap.  I suppose I can buy cards off the auction, but I haven't even bothered looking yet.  I've got a greater than 50% win rate in PvP with a deck I've put together from drops.  Plus I'm still leveling fast enough that any card I pay for would be useless in a couple of weeks.

[Lantyssa]

Who wants an apprentice?  I don't know how much I'll play her, but I'm thinking of starting up a Summoner for some dabbling.

[FatuousTwat]

I'll take it... I was planning on being a Summoner myself.

[Lantyssa]

We're being seiged.  It's going to go poorly.

[Lantyssa]

Everyone that can should build.  I think we lose any gold in the building being built if we lose the seige, so we have 23 hours to get 150-ish points.

[FatuousTwat]

Lol. Is there anything I can actually do to help?

Edit: K, will do.

[Severian]

Your guild is besieged by Hell Found.
Start in 23h30m

Sieges are massive onslaughts of a guild toward another. It costs much more guild action points, but the defender cannot prevent the attack. If the siege is successful, the attacker will destroy a part of the building progress of the victim (if any), and pillage some gold from it for its own vault. In this mode, squads from an outnumbered guild may have to fight more than once, and they will have a cumulative HP and spirit penalty at the start of each additional battle.

A successfull Guild Battle or Siege will grant the winner guild honor points that can later be distributed by the officers to the members.

Keep in mind that incomplete squads can be sent and will fight as they are (as long as the guild has more than 12 players in total). During sieges, however, incomplete squads will be automatically filled by ungrouped members of the guild.

Siege Mode

Cost : 210 guild action points for the attacker

Squad Count : at least 3 squads, every member will participate in the siege. Ungrouped members will fill in
incomplete squads or form new squads.

Rewards : guild honor points and guild rating change. The attacker also destroy the defender's building points if
victory, gain gold generated from effectively destroyed building points, will NOT steal from the defender's vault.

Diminishing return : the attacker guild for 48 hours. (unable to request battle or siege to the defender)

Siege cannot be refused or canceled, both guilds have 24 hours to prepare the final showdown.
