storm lords, are they all newbs?

Is this guild mostly new people with little clue, lots of gusto, and wanna be good players? (thelanis)
Worst run ever with them last night, their run, in ToD.

Some of the 'rules' and 'mechanics' they talked about as the quest went were odd and in some cases completely wrong.

They seemed nice and talkative (which is a rarity). But we wiped at the end due to their flagrant ignorance.

Thinking about staying away from any of their runs.

They are all terrible players who have no fucking idea what they're doing. Whenever I play on Thelanis I autodecline them. They are however much better than Two Dwarfs, so if you have to pick one over the others...

This is the vault.  If you're worried about hurting someone's feelings, the other forums is the place to be.  Details, or STFU.   Wink

They've been around a long time. They're not exactly stringent in their recruiting policies, but by the same token, they're not spamming guild invites on Korthos.

When I was on Thelanis - most StormLords were a detraction from the group instead of a help. Not all of em, mind you. But the majority of them were pretty damned awful.

having to type the drama would just piss me off.

I have heard enough from others...ugh.

They are sophmores...
"wise fools"

they have enough game play and experience to survive and do the dungeons, but use old screwy tactics.

Their knowledge of the game is brilliant, they think, but they are wrong. And that makes them annoying in quests.

at least the ones I ran with.

Fun people, happy, but ignorant as batshit about the game.

Like em, like to hang with em, hate to be in any stressful or hard dungeon with them...pure head bang.

The core of officers used to be pretty damn good.  However
I think they've gone through a lot of turnover lately and the
jackasses outnumber the good players now.
  

I may be on Thelanis, but I still long for Xoriat.

I'll chime in on this one...

My buddy and I were members of StormLords for a while after the server merge with Xoriat (my original server).  They had a handful of good players, but a lot were 'casual' or just there for the social aspect.  Many were spouses, children, etc.


They did not have any sort of quality control, accepting any that wanted to join, and no organization.  We convinced the leader to put up a guild forum with a roster, but many were not registered and most did not fill out the roster at all.  The leader was often AWOL for months at a time.


There was one officer that, I can only assume intentionally, gave out completely incorrect info, and when challenged would basically repeat himself over and over and call you names for suggesting that you knew better than he.


Due to my friend and my performance and leadership/party-forming, we were promoted to officers, and tried to whip the guild into shape.  This was soon after shroud was released.
  ...in this process we approached the leader asking to remove the chaff from the guild, as we couldn't even run raids successfully with a full guild group.  We were rebuffed.


We left the guild to form our own at this point.  Several other competent players also left, some joining us, others finding greener pastures.  Cercive was an officer at this time, and left soon after.


When renown was introduced they, if possible, lowered their already abysmal standards in favor of headcount. 


Cheers for the #1 guild on Big-T!  Wink

I am pretty sure at least one of my characters is on their guild blacklist after I passed out while running across the Bridge towards the dragon in VON 6.

I woke up to lots of swearing after I had been wing buffeted, or ran of the platform. I am not sure exactly what happened since I was asleep.

So if Stormlords are noobs what does it make the guy on their blacklist?

I honestly think that they are a guild that doesn't screen their people that well. I have a guild that is a member of SL as well had he is top notch, and then you get other that you know in the first 5 minutes of the quest that the are very much not top notch.

Oh and since this is the vault I am pretty sure that quite a few of them are pole smokers.

Man I would love to claim that is was drunkenly passed out so I could appear to be cool and edgy, but it wasn't.

The sad truth is that I passed out due to lack of sleep. Even sadder is the fact that it happens a lot. By far the thing said to me most by my guild is "RoBi wake up and fight!"

Storm Lords has some good people.. they just are too big and have a lot of.weak links in the chain.. so you don't know what you're getting when an SL player join your group.

Exhibit A:
I'll pick on Burnadette because he pulled the whole drop link and login a different character thing on a busted hound pug I was in recently.

http://my.ddo.com/character/thelanis/burnadette/
What's a player who has been around as long as Burnadette doing with 190hp at level 20?

Also had a SL wizard/pileon log out/log in another character when we were maybe 80% done with a madstone elite run for XP.

Best part was that he /death first, so we all got -10%. Angry

Everything was going fine, didn't say anything in chat, just ding>DC>poof.
