Node buddies

How many of you have a guild already? I plan to just head for a biome/node I fancy and see who's there.
But it might be nice to meet a node buddy or two while forum lurking, so let's use this thread to advertise and find some like-minds!

Region: EU
Preferred biome(s): Swamp/Asian forest (on or near the coast)
Preferred node type(s): Military

Region: (NA,EU, SEA, OCE, SA)
Preferred biome(s):
Preferred node type(s): Economic/Scientific/Military/Divine

Get involved in what?

Trying to work out what node or biome type we want to play despite not having nearly enough information to actually make that decision?

Yawn.

I've kind of developed a system for guilds over the years, first is I don't join groups that just take anyone in as a full time member. not saying they're all like this but most groups that just try to go for numbers tends to be an overall toxic environment with people wanting to do the video game equivalent of climbing the cooperate ladder.

Pick up groups and make friends along the way is the way to go, either make a guild with said friends or look for new friends who are part of the same group and maybe you'll fit into it

Good take on mentioning that. Even in World of WoW-Token Craft,

since a good bunch of Years - about Ten even in total, there is just no Room anymore for most People, to join a Guild which try's to work People to the Bone and put them into a full-time-Job as a Guildmember.

Reallife just comes by whenever it pleases and smacks us right into the Face whenever our Guilds would need us the most. Especially in "Raids" ... ...

To add, since WoW Vanilla already i was never in a Guild which played like all Day long. It was just not possible. We would have to be all unemployed and nothing to do, to meet the Quota or Standart of the No-Lifer Elitist Guilds.

Thread summary?

Read thread title as "nude bodies" ...

No guild. No plan to join one. Not as opposed in joining one as people think, but if so it will be done "organically" as I play and meet people. But, no, really, don't send me invite right now.

I bet they would love to.

But how if there is not even something like a Lobby aside from Discord or Teamspeak and so - and even the Testing Servers of Verra are still in a Fantasy-World far, far away ... ...

Do people only read the first sentence then mentally auto-complete the rest?

I mean, I have the same guild I have been in for 20 years or so, across about a dozen games.

Yes.

If your first sentence is asking how many people already have a guild, people will think your thread is about guilds.

If your thread isn't about guilds, asking how many people have guilds should not be your first sentence.

Even if they do read the whole post, they are doing so from the understanding that you are asking about guilds, because that is the first thing you said. You can ask that question later in the first post, but it shouldn't be the thing you open with.

The first sentence should entice the reader to want to continue to read more, while also setting the expectation and understanding of what the rest of the work is about.

Look at my post here. My first sentence is simply "Yes." That is specifically so you understand that I am pointing out to you that the thing you said (and seemed to not believe) is indeed true. It sets you up with the right understanding of what I am about to elaborate on right from the very beginning.

Lol this place is unbearable.
I'm going to have to to assume a certain section of regulars here spend a significant portion of their lives gnawing at each other's forum posts, which would go some way to explaining some of the smug condescension.

I'm not saying you're wrong, btw. But Christ.
Ok yes my first sentence mentioned guilds. The following text was however pretty damn clear and to the point.
I don't think I'm expecting too much here!
Given the average Ashes forum poster is what.. 35+ and literate?

Maybe separating by region would help.

That sentence is also the only one with a question. A call to action is weaker than a question, especially when that call to action could be seen as an ask to answer the question.

I do agree with Noaani's "your first sentence gives a theme to the thread". It's never too late to just remove that sentence completely

It serves no purpose for the goal of this thread. Removing it changes nothing, when it comes to understanding your point, while keeping it obviously confuses people as to what you were asking them about.

I'm going to make a suggestion for you, based on the above.

Rather than admitting your first sentence didn't set the correct expectation or tone and then still blaming others, consider this a simple learning experience for yourself.

As a thread, this is one of the least useful this forum has ever had. People aren't looking for others to play a game that is years away, especially not based on in game systems they have no more than half of the information on.

Thus, take what I said above in, learn from it, make it so something worthwhile actually comes from this thread, and make a point of starting your future threads and posts off better going forward.

As I said at the start, this is just a suggestion.

im actually looking for people to play this game (and a2), even if its years away. more than a guild, im looking for a cp, then we can join a guild that recruits cp only.

Classic forum gatekeeping bs. You don't represent the readers of this forum.
I could not care less how "useful" you deem this or any other thread to be.

Your posts in this thread (and many others, btw) have zero constructive value.
I made the purpose very clear (opening sentences aside

but considering the lengthy paragraphs you've been writing then I assume you can read beyond that).

So as a suggestion for you: maybe the next time a thread has no interest for you, you leave it alone for others to enjoy?

There were a thousand ways of making your "suggestion" without being a miserable, gatekeeping bellend.

Lol I do agree, but I didn't come here for advice on post construction.
The point could still be made if he absolutely couldn't resist, without being a complete tit (alas, a bridge too far).

If you don't like the thread, consider not posting in it.
When someone has clearly laid out expectations for a thread and you have no interest in it, posting anything else is non-constructive and goes against the spirit of the forum.

Also, how many years away people should start looking for others to play the game with is completely subjective and absurd for anyone to be making judgements on.
