Stippling Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) <FAILURE> <Failure> was founded in June 2013 from a small band of friends and has since launched into one of the most distinguished guilds on the Bastion server. We consider ourselves a hardcore raiding guild without the attitudes and elitism associated with it, and currently run an extremely skilled raid group through top tier content with great success. Our guild also partakes in PvP, and our community of warzone enthusiasts is always on the rise. We also have an enjoyable community of casual players, and do not bar players who do not necessarily share our hardcore philosophies from being a part of our guild. Regardless of your background, Failure probably has what you’re looking for!

A: Failure was initially used as the name of a “secret society” (jerks in a private channel) in another guild, founded by players who were tired of raiding with “failures”. The irony in the name added to the charm, in that we knew we were skilled players and did not need a tag with “hero”, “elite”, or “good at this game” to know we had talent. So when the time came to create our own guild, the name <Failure> stuck. If having a tag with the name <Failure> troubles you, odds are you are not for us. We require a certain level of humility and humor in our guildmates, and those who are not confident enough to sport a sardonic designation probably are lacking in skill anyhow. Fear not, <Super Elite Playerbase of Awesome, Talented Handsome Raiders> is probably recruiting, and they all probably suck. Q: What is your loot policy? Loot council? Kell Dragon Kill Points? All loot for Stippling? A: The last one. We as a guild have determined that Stippling is deserving of all the loot, and therefore receives every piece. Not buying it? Damn. Well how about this… Our loot policy is one of simplicity. Basically, one token-based loot item per instance per week, earned based upon successful need rolls. When a piece becomes more commonplace (first boss drops, etc.) this restriction will be removed from that item in order to encourage the remaining players to grab these pieces without penalty. All offshoot, non-token pieces (Shadowed, Oriconian, etc.) is essentially main spec free rolls. If no main spec needs, we will greed roll or need roll to rip mods (cross-class enhancements). New members have exactly the same rights as old raiders, and we share the wealth as best as we can. Oftentimes people will pass gear to other raiders who will benefit more from the item, though those cases are up to the individuals and not required. Trial raiders who have not yet committed to the guild, as well as non-core raiders filling in may be asked to pass on any piece that is needed by a member of the core, though have free reign on non-token pieces as anyone in the raid would. Q: Who is the guild leader? A: While I (Stippling) am the guild leader, all officers share equal voice in the decision-making process and and speak with the same weight that I do. Similarly, each raid member is an important voice in decisions regarding raid strategies, calling raids early, etc. We function as a team, and each officer knows that they are not all-knowing savants incapable of error. Each person brings their own knowledge, skill, and biases to the table, and a culmination of all of these diversities is the only true way to make fair and beneficial decisions. Q: If I have a complaint regarding one of your members, who do I contact? A: If one of our members has taken part in a dishonest act (loot ninja, intentionally wiping groups, general douchery, etc.) or has indirectly caused you or one of your guild members harm, do not hesitate to contact us with your concerns. Either whisper me (Stippling) in-game or contact me via in-game mail and I will do my best to sort through and alleviate any apprehensions you might have. My alts are also listed in my signature if the situation is urgent and I am on an alt. Edited May 2, 2015 by Stippling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stippling Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) What times do you guys raid? I'm one of the Main Tanks from Diabolic looking for a new home with the recent decision from my guild to close up shop. Our current raid times are pending as we are still trying to formulate our main raiding group and available times (hard to do without that main tank), but we tend to raid in the evenings anywhere from 7:00-9:00 server time, week nights and weekends. Once we polish our core we can adjust and set raid times conducive to the availability of the core. Edited June 26, 2013 by Stippling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stippling Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Cleaned up and updated to show where we stand. Would love to find another competent offtank who is willing to DPS at times. Also very much willing to bring in talented players who are either, a.) not geared, or b.) not available to do hardmode content at the listed times. We want to start up a second hardmode group in the near future, as well as simply expand our community with talented, friendly folks. Thanks!

Stippling Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Currently seeking ONE (1) active and skilled DPS player interested in a trial HM/NiM run with us this coming week. Can lead to more consistent raiding afterwards! Have a raider unavailable this week and in need of a team player looking to run with us semi-regularly. Would start as an alternate position and can quickly move to a main, central role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stippling Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Updated main post to reflect current needs. With the new school year rolling around, we are inevitably going to lose a bit of activity among some of our raiders (including myself on certain occasions). Therefore we are currently seeking ONE (1) versatile DPS player, be it ranged or melee, in all or mostly 72 gear interested in being rotated into the fold for NiM progression raiding. If you are a hybrid class, experience and gear with tanking/healing is a plus. Please contact Stippling, Sumii, or Ranek in-game, post an application on our website, and/or simply reply to this thread. Thanks, and we hope you will be a failure soon!

Stippling Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 We currently need a Jugg or PT tank. Send tell to Grimsalt/Brekk or Stippling. This is very much the case. We are completely looking for a tank able to raid Tues/Wed/Thur (Mondays would be great too), who has skill but may or may not have the gear. Full 69s minimum, willing to gear out the player if they fit with our playstyle and do not totally suck. When in doubt, just message someone! We're pretty accommodating!

Stippling Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Greetings, <Failure> is currently looking for players to begin a second 8m raid group, one that would raid weekends (most likely Saturday/Sunday). We are currently looking to fill out the group with DPS and to begin our trek into HM clears. I encourage any and every interested player to contact either myself, Grimsalt, or an officer in-game, or to post an application on our website (with clarification that it is for the second hardmode ops group). We are interested in skilled players who may or may not have experience or gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
