Descendants of Honor News Zend_Feed_Writer 1.11.11 (http://framework.zend.com) http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/m/2095130 Were you kicked? Mon, 20 May 2013 19:39:16 -0700 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1497697/m/2095130 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1497697/m/2095130
As had been posted earlier, we are trying to clear out some of the truly inactive people off the roster.  We have been using the official achievement leader boards to track everyone's achievements since they came in as a gauge of if someone was logging in and playing the game.

This method is the best we have at the moment but it isn't perfect.  We may accidentally catch up some active folk in this if the board has glitched.  I have seen at least 2 active players not show up on the board and I have no idea why.  We are doing the best we can with a lack of tools, so please bear with us and just throw us a message here or in game if you are still with us but got kicked out.  Over the next day or so leadership will be mailing everyone in game who has been removed, so either reply to that mail or let us know on the website here.

We checked the away notices, but if we missed one and kicked someone we don't mean to and just let us know ASAP to be reinstated.

]]> We Want You! Mon, 01 Apr 2013 00:32:00 -0700 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1386906/m/2095130 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1386906/m/2095130 Do you have what it takes?
Due to the long hours Connor spends at his job, he is stepping down as Guild Leader immediately.  The existing officers will fill in, but due to their busy lives they are unable to step up to the Guild Leader role at such short notice and on an ongoing basis.

We would like to treat this as an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to the leadership and the guild as a whole.  In order to select a suitable candidate in a fair, unbiased way, we invite you to answer a few simple questions to prove you have what it takes and then we will draw a potential candidate in a raffle format.  You can submit your interest in tickets now, and will be contacted for payment for the tickets at a later date.  There is a limit of 50 tickets availible to prove active usage of our website as this will be required in a guild leader role.

If you do not think you are up to the task, but know of someone else who may be, please put their name and your reasoning forward.  The form for your chance to be the new co-guild leader is here.  Good luck and happy submitting.

We wish Connor well in his financial endeavors and hope that his limited GW2 time can now spent in fun ways without the burden of the guild leadership.

The SBI Social will be held on Stormbluff Isle (Stormbluff Waypoint) in Bloodtide Coast and will begin at 3pm PST/6pm EST.

It will be first time around for some people and sadly it won't suit everybody, but more sessions will come.

We will be aiming to start our Guild Missions again at 6pm Pacific, Saturday 2nd March. If you can join us on TeamSpeak please do so, if you cannot please let us know so we can make sure you are in a party that has someone on TS with you to relay information.  Some people working on organisation should be on prior to start time, if you wish to get sorted early, to keep the night as short as possible for those in a later time zone.

There will be a thread up in the forums discussing some organisational options for the day.  Please have a read through after it is posted.  If I haven't fallen asleep I will link it up below.

Happy hunting everyone!

]]> Admin Updates Sat, 02 Feb 2013 01:12:30 -0800 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1254610/m/2095130 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1254610/m/2095130 It appears everything on the replacement server is now working well. All our links on the site and in the MOTD in game should now be correctly updated to the new address. If you have any issues, lack permanent permissions or need help in changing TS settings, please contact someone in the leadership and we will help you out ASAP.

I personally had a couple of issues in GW2 this week with messages whispered to me in game vanishing from my history while whispers from others remained. I'm sorry if I or anyone else drop the ball on an invite or other issue because of this. If it appears like we have missed an invite or getting back in contact with someone please just tell us again so we can be sure it is covered. We are all only human (or zombie depending on our schedules).


After the website and forum overhauls we are continuing with our tweaking, checks and updates
  • To make organisation easier for everyone, our calendar will soon be switched to display event times in everyone's local time when you are logged in. To make sure that this will be correct for you: click on the green home button in the bottom right area of the site, choose account settings and then check your time-zone and save the changes if need be.
  • In the next week or so we are going to be doing a double check of our roster, ranks and permissions. Every once in a while we try and get in contact with some guild members that do not represent or have not actively played in a long time without an away notice. Don't panic if it looks like we are having a kicking spree as we remove people who have chosen not to play with us or have been gone a very long time without any communication.
  • If we do accidentally kick someone else please tell us! The guild history often shows how easy it is (too easy) too accidentally promote or kick people out of the guild with a simple misclick.
  • If you do not have a visual tag on the website, please go submit the join our guild form and make a note that you are already in the guild. If you have an incorrect tag that you wish to be updated ASAP, feel free to contact me via in game mail with details of your name on the forums, or via a PM here with your game name.



]]> No guild halls, no problem. Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:22:00 -0800 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1211530/m/2095130 http://www.descendantsofhonor.com/home/article/1211530/m/2095130 We've decided to claim a little turf in the fair land of Tyria, Hoelbrak to be exact, until guild halls are released. Getting there is free: sPvP-LA-Hoebrak. Upper Balcony Waypoint is closest. We're hoping this will become a place where we can show off armor, sort inventory, and a staging area. Our homebase is the lodge with a fire pit next to the bank on the upper floor. Since map chat is very quiet we can easily use it to communicate while crafting downstairs, grabbing something from the trading post or selling things to the merchant outside.

Once we figure out the best days/times of day to do so we'll start putting various banners in the doorway of our lodge so you can grab a gathering bonus, magic find or other boons on your way out.

I am standing in our lodge in this map shot.

Our in-game Halloween Event begins at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern on Saturday, October 27th and will consist of 3 one hour long segments. 




Hide-and-Seek Trick-or-Treat

Mysterious givers of goodies will be concealed in the Plains of Ashford. You must find them, /cheer and say trick-or-treat to let them know you are near. Dyes, mystic coins, food, tonics, ToT bags and even few lucky globs of ectoplasm will flow from our bags during the hour long event. But, there's more! The first 3 intrepid seekers who find all of the goodie givers and successfully collect a treat will receive greater riches, like exotic weapons, globs of ectoplasm and rare dyes!


Ghosts of Guild Wars Past Costume Contest and Guild Feast

As the veil between the worlds thins and strange energies fluctuate throughout the land our deceased ancestors will become visible and deliver their epitaphs, giving us a glimpse into their lives over 250 years ago.

To participate in the costume contest dress up as a fictional ancestor of yours from GW1 and compose an epitaph that will fit in a single chat post to recite as you model your costume. Entries will be judged on creativity of the costume and epitaph as well as the audience reaction. Three prize packages containing exotic weapons, globs of ectoplasm and rare dyes have been prepared for the winners of this contest.

So bring your appetite for food and ale to the Last Whiskey Bar and prepare to cry, threaten, laugh and cheer for the ghosts of guild wars past.


The Shatterer



As our final event of the evening we will band together to defend the defenseless, rescue damsels in distress and overwhelm the Champion of Kralkatorrik, The Shatterer, in Blazeridge Steppes.

All levels are encouraged to attend! We will leave no member behind.



We look forward to seeing you there!





Can't make it to our in game event? Never fear, you too will have your chance at glory and prizes in the Dreams of Halloween Past forum puzzle game. More details to come after the 27th...

If you have been into WvW very much you will have noticed the importance of a commander among the ranks on the battlefield. Signaling to others where to be, and giving verbal commands in map chat to ensure our victory.

We have a senior officer, Ivanea, who almost daily runs WvW for our guild and the server and we would love to get this tag on him to make organization easier. The problem is that the commander (and squad) feature is 100 gold.

Another bonus to this is when we're trying to do multiple-group DH missions we will be able to have everyone in the same squad chat and everyone can see where our leader is heading. This will eliminate most of the problems we are having now.

I will be collecting and sorting out the gold situations, so we're asking everyone to chip in a little bit of gold and we can easily accomplish this task. Anywhere from 50s - 1g or even more if you can spare it will really help us on the journey to a better world vs world experience. This will make planning WvW events easier, and in the long run help our sever with a competent commander.

Send your donations to Alfthaton.6832 (or character name Kasalla).

Thanks everyone!

As you might hear in guild chat every once in a while, Guild Wars 2 still likes to think people in leadership are not in the guild even though we can talk in chat.  At times only selected options work - as was evident to most people last night as we could only select "report" when trying to invite each other to parties.

The most reliable way for us to promote people is still when we see our guild members online, talking and joining in (so when the roster decided to tell us that people have accounts named "..." we promote the right person), which means we need to have a few minutes free, preferably not in combat unless defeated, and have all the functionality working.  We will get to everyone when time and GW2 allows us!  We still have the guild storage set so even people suffering from a slow promotion can access items.

If for some reason we don't see you online and representing, or you too can't represent or talk in guild chat, please throw someone in leadership a mail in game or a message on the website so we know you are having issues outside of your control.

The Descendants of Honor have been defending the human settlements across Tyria since 1078 AE. In the past few weeks, scores of Harathi centaur prides have been attacking human settlements in the Gendarran Fields. The Harathi are very organized, armored and militaristic and will require a massive force to push them back. Our intent is to strike them at the heart of their stronghold in Harathi Hinterlands, ravage their resources, find and seize their magic cache and finally overthrow Ulgoth the Modniir.

Descendants of Honor will use all the resources they have amassed to support all of the Soldiers. In preparation we have already activated a worldwide 10% magic find bonus. In addition we will activate a worldwide 10% resource gathering bonus. On the battle field we will be posting 10% magic and resource gathering bonuses for the area of Harathi, totaling 20%. In addition Commander Alethia has been crafting centaur slaying potions that will protect you from them while dealing more damage.

We will meet  at Shieldbluff Waypoint (Shieldbluff Point) 4:00PM Uniform (4PM PDT Saturday, 9/22) and swarm the area for roughly two hours. Once the banners are posted, all you have to do is touch them to receive their effect for 30 minutes. In addition, there is Fawcett’s jumping puzzle bounty and several skill challenges that are made easier with a small army present. If we have enough representation during this time, we will be able to increase our guild cap and further expand the DH foothold.

There will be some dye giveaways as well, and maybe even a few minis up for grabs! We want to get as many people to participate as possible, so we can raise our guild cap.

P.S. There will be a ferry service starting at 3pm to run those who need it to the gathering point. The area is level 35-45, so participants, beware!
P.P.S. Pic unrelated!
