Player age - [HDL] guild and Ventrilo chatter is for mature audiences only. If you are not 18+, you will need to be sponsored by a guild member in good standing.
28
Where did you hear about [HDL]?
My roommate Mark has two characters in the guild (Undedpreest, Palyth), and my friend Joe has one (Goull)
Why do you want to join [HDL]?
I seem to be reaching the ceiling when it comes to heroic dungeon runs, and am looking for an environment in which i can participate in higher level raiding.
What is your guild membership history? Why did you leave or want to leave?
This would be my first serious guild. Currently I'm in Falmouth Street Gang which is only a guild set up for bank alts, which mine happens to be in. I put Rana in it to help with the charter signing.
What do you want from a guild?
Specifically a fun atmosphere to learn and become proficient in raiding.
Can you follow kill order?
Yes.
Are you a Casual player, Raiding oriented player, or a PvP oriented player? If you think you are a combination of any of those, what percentage of time would you spend on each?
I'm a bit more than casual about my play time, logging in at least 5-6 times a week for considerable hours. I am mainly focused on the PvE instance content, and use PvP as a pleasant alternative in my down time.
Raiding Questions
Will you dedicate 5 days a week to raiding?
I don't believe I can dedicate 5 total nights to raiding
If you answered ""Yes" to the question above, are you aware that [HDL] is not a hard core raiding guild?
N/A
Will you dedicate 2 nights a week to raiding?
Absolutely Yes
Are you willing to take/accept criticism to make you a better player?
Yes
We do require Omen and Deadly Boss Mods. Do you have these installed?
Yes and Yes
What is your primary and secondary talent build? Which do you prefer?
Primary: Combat 15/51/5 (PvE) Secondary: Assination 41/5/25 (PvP)
Since my focus is on PvE, I prefer my primary.
What is your rotation for your primary and secondary builds?
Primary: Sinister Strike, Slice n Dice, SS, SS, SS, Evicerate (wash, rinse, repeat with cool-downs of Blade Flurry and Adrenaline Rush whenever available) When possible I will choose to open with Garrot, then proceed with normal rotation.
Secondary: Open with either Cheap Shot or Ambush depending on the situation, then proceed with a rotation of Mutilate, Slice n Dice, Mu, Mu, Mu, Evicerate (normal cool-downs in use)
Explain your gear choices, including gems and enchants.
My gear is selected by what is best for me in regards to PvE content, using the maep Pawn score described at www.shadowpanter.net. I have tried to maintain an even distribution of the highest level gear available to me across all equipment slots. My gems and enchants are normally best in slot according to many forums, regardless of cost (i am maxed at herbalism and alchemy and can accumulate fast gold when necessary)

3. Hopefully via vent or chat a quick decision can be made as to if we have time for a PvP diversion.
A tea bag is 1) a small porous bag containing tea leaves or powdered tea, onto which boiling water is poured in order to make a drink of tea, or 2) a verb.
Both 1 and 2 (tea is quite delicious, but never underestimate the humor in a 'teabag' reference)
Do you prefer Battlegrounds, Arenas, or World PVP? Why?
Battlegrounds, for the convince.
What is your favorite battleground? Why?
Warsong Gulch, I've always enjoyed a capture the flag game, and the smaller number of players causes the need of more strategy

I just got a headache, /yell: PALYTH WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
What is your favorite instance? What is your favorite boss fight?
H ToC, its quick and has a special place in my heart because it provided me with some of my earliest epics. The Black Knight H ToC, phase 2 is an easy litmus test to weed out the idiots.
Are you easily offended? Is your hot button race, religion, sex, or politics?
Ummm no, I'm a Bartender
Are you aware the [HDL] is largely a collection of angry and cynical players and under-geared toons?
Sounds like Thanksgiving dinner
Really? Why do you still want to join [HDL]
Yes Please
do you prefer horses or dogs?
Dogs, logistically easier to take to city parks in an effort to attract the attention of ladies.
Several immediately foreseeable problems:
Your name is Patrick, Pat's name is Patrick, this could lead to very much confusion.
You're friends with Joseph and he tricked some of us into getting locked in a room by a dumpster.
You assumed Jon was referring, even possibly in jest, as to whether you preferred horses or dogs in some sort of pet capacity as opposed to intimate partner capacity, to which Jon is quite partial to both.
Hmm..... all these things aside, I think we can still give you the benefit of the doubt. Hit up a member in game and they can direct you to an officer or contact one of the below characters and we'll wrangle you an invite.
Tenris, Estrin, Vitandus, Kellanon, Flambe, Snyper, Tessekai, Tesselyth.
if youre using your dog to pick up chicks in a park then the decency laws in your city are too lax
several responses
a) I prefer Patrick, not Pat, and my initials are PP......so I ask who could pass up such an obvious nick-name
b) Joe is quite tricky
c) If you mean in a romantic capacity it gets quite cold up here in the winter, so I'd have to go with horses, and let all minds wander appropriately
d) Yes the laws are lax here, and as such I thoroughly recommend this as a vacation spot
I'll try to catch someone in game soon

Like marrying your first cousin!

Or shooting people as they attempt to flee your property (naturally after their co-criminal was gunned down by you)
MAINE MAINE MAINE!!
