<Delusions of Grandeur> is a Pub-side real-life-first guild that participates in all of SWTOR’s end-game content, including Operations, Warzones, and Conquest Events. We are not a “hardcore” guild, where “progression” supersedes all else. But neither are we a softcore guild, where the game serves merely as a glorified social networking platform. Community, friendship, a place where everyone knows your name, these are the foundations upon which our end-game efforts are based. We’ve consistently punched above our weight, taking on and clearing challenging content on a casual schedule. As we look forward to 6.0 and beyond, our goal is to renovate the guild to best fit the current state of the game, with new systems, new people, and new ways to have fun together.

 

Our Saturday raid team (5pm to 8pm Pacific) is looking for a permanent dps and heals, and we’re always looking for potential subs as well – due to our RLF nature, you’ll have plenty of opportunities - and would love to stand up a new team in the near future. But we’d really like to expand our general roster and we’re looking for cool individuals of all playstyles and experience levels.

 

Here’s the thing:

 

The past couple years have been rough for guilds like ours, as a variety of factors have led some beloved old hands to lose interest in the game or to hang out exclusively for our regularly scheduled raids and not much else. We are not, nor do we seek to be, a conquest-dominating mega-guild, or anything close to it. We’ve always been an intimate, “everybody knows your name” type of guild, and that’s mutually exclusive with high-yield-planet-conquering. We do, however, want to expand on our small group of friends enjoying the game and create more opportunities for impromptu multiplayer activity.

 

This demands a certain critical mass, and we're well on our way - we've seen some great growth since the launch of 6.0, with new faces and old friends coming back to check things out. But we still have plenty of room to grow. So what’s the upside for you, the potential recruit in all this?

Well, here are a few things:

 

Fun first & Real Life first, always: We’re here to have fun. Period. There are not, and never will be, activity requirements or conquest quotas or anything of the sort. No one will pressure you to spend more time in game than you want, or participate in activities you don’t like. No one will ever treat you with anything less than respect and friendliness.

 

No cliques, no despotic officers, just one family: Honestly, we’re not big enough to have cliques or “guilds within guilds” today. And as we grow, we’ll maintain a close-knit atmosphere with all our guildies. If you hang out, you’ll soon know most if not all of us who are actively playing. You won’t feel like the FNG or the odd-man-out.

 

Experienced players as mentors: We love teaching new players the ropes. For real. That’s not just euphemistic for “we’ll tolerate your derps with gritted teeth without getting on your case too much.” We really do enjoy it. And that shines through in the quality of help and mentoring we offer. And while particularly hilarious derps will be laughed at, we enjoy laughing at ourselves just as much, because hey – it’s funny when you wipe on NiM Vorgath because the tank fell out of the tower, and spectacular failure can be just as much fun as picture-perfect kills.

 

Get in on the ground floor of our renovation: No, I’m not about to try to sell you a timeshare or convince you there’s a great future in Plastics. But this is an opportunity to help shape a guild’s future without having to start one yourself from scratch or be completely responsible for success or failure. Instead, you’ll have the benefit of advice and support from experienced leaders. In that vein, we’re also particularly looking for people who are interested in leadership roles. By leadership roles, we don’t mean “come and run our guild for us.” That would be both unfair to you and wildly naïve of us. But we do mean people who play with regularity, can be proactive about playing together with other guildies and helping us recruit, and who are interested in an opportunity to help chart the course going forward. The preceding is by no means a requirement – we’re looking for all sorts – but if that sounds like you, let us know and we can chat about it.

adding faction to headline

It’s been a great first week of 6.0! New recruits, old friends coming back to check things out, lots of FPs and some leisurely Storymode ops runs to get our feet wet. The dust has settled a bit, and we have a clearer idea on what we’ll need for our Saturday raid team (5pm- 8pm Pacific): we’ll be looking for one heals, and alternates for all roles.

Updated raid team needs above

Shameless, Shameless bump

Im interested. Im not able to commit to raiding though, I only play this game every couple days due to my obligations elsewhere.

Hey there!

No problem if you can’t commit to a raid team. We’re setting up more informal activities during the week also, and there will be opportunities to sub on the team when you can. If you’d like an invite, just do a /who Delusions in game and we’ll set you up.

Updated raid team needs : LF 1 healer for Saturday raids (5-8pm Pacific)

Update - Saturday raid team is currently full, BUT . . . we frequently need subs of all roles, and would love to stand up a new team and have more folks available for open sign up shenanigans.

Update - due to some Real Life schedule shifting, we have an open spot for a Tank on our Saturday raid team. and always looking for back ups and general membership.

Small update on raid team needs - we're looking for a permanent tank OR healer. And general membership and backups as always.

Delusions recently hit Guild level 51, and with it max bonuses on XP/Rep/RXP! Still looking for more cool people to join us.

When we raid, we take the content seriously, without taking ourselves seriously. Too few raid teams do the first thing and can't do the second. Take a moment to review the following video to get a sense of how much fun we have!

 

Guild's first run through Dxun Storymode. Not an instructional video! First 4 encounters.

Update on the guild and recruitment needs:

 

Delusions has hit Guild level cap! Now that conquest points get thrown out like candy, it probably won’t seem like that big a deal in a few months, but we’re proud of it. This means we have full XP/Rep/Renown boosts – we welcome new and returning players looking for a friendly home to level up or gear up some toons for double XP and beyond! It also means we have access to the full complement of guild perks available to us.

 

We’re also looking for a permanent dps and a healer for our Saturday raid team (5pm -8pm Pacific), and alternates of all roles. We’ve finally gotten around to working on Dxun Vet mode with some temporary fill-ins, and would love to keep that momentum going.

 

Feel free to check out our website for more info, or shoot me a PM.

Hey guys,

 

We have a small group of RL friends (4 brothers and a friend or two to be exact) that are interested. Most of us are fairly new to SWTOR - about a month in - however several of us were high end raiders on Wow over a decade ago. Quarantine and whatever else has led us all to pick up Star Wars. We are looking for a good fit. Would love to chat to see...

 

Thanks,

 

Irzyk

Hey GaiusPatton!

Sent you a PM with our Discord info. Hope to see you soon!

Quick raid team update - we're still looking for a permanent dps for Saturday raids (5pm - 8pm Pacific). Our current fill-in will likely be less available when bars and stuff are open again

Will be doing a /who today! hopefully you guys are still accepting new members:)
