Our guild has always had a chaotic relationship with PvP. Over the years we've tried out several variations of structured PvP to help bring it inline with our PvE teams but it never works out. Part of that is down to the PvP playerbase changing so frequently but the biggest reason is down to a lack of PvP leadership. We've had a few leaders rise to the challenge only to fade back into the mists of time and that is where we find ourselves now.

The War Leaders
For this reason I have disbanded the League of Death and created the War Leader rank. There is no leader and no organised PvP nights. Instead this is a rank to recognise the best of our PvP players. Our War Leaders can group together safe in the knowledge that every one of them has incredible skill. The primary focus is 8 person unranked although several enjoy ranked.

Alpha Wing
Our best GSF pilots still have the Alpha Wing website title but in-game they will share the War Leader rank since Bioware thinks a guild of 1000 members should be limited to 10 ranks 😂 The Starfighter aces have an additional tag in their member note so you can tell them apart from our PvP killers.

How To Join
You must prove yourself in combat for the current members to the point that one of them will nominate you. You have to be one of those people that others on your team recognise in the pre-match team line-up and think it means easy victory or where your enemies see you and quit before the match even begins 😈

Don't worry if you're still a rookie, most War Leaders and Alphas are more than happy to help you improve if you are willing to follow their instructions 👍

You can see the current War Leader and Alpha Wing roster here on our PvP page.

I'm changing how I post guild news so that there will be more frequent posts that target specific topics instead of long posts that cover many topics. The primary reason for this is because I've been busy with work-work for weeks so I keep adding topics to the list for the next news post but then once I manage to free up time to write it I see that several of those topics already feel like old news! 😅

Website Chaos
Some of you noticed the website images were missing for a while. This is part of a big update our site host is releasing in stages. The first part to affect things publicly was that they moved the image hosting and it took a while for the update scripts to go through all the pages and update the paths. A larger change to the sites theming system is on the way as well which means at some point in the next couple of months the website may suddenly look strange until I get time to rewrite the theme to work with the new system. I have no ETA on that and just expect to login one day to find it looking kooky.

Another change to our website hosting is the payment plan. Thanks to all your donations we had enough money to switch to a yearly plan which gets a 20% discount. To make the deal even sweeter our host gave us an extra 2GB image storage for free on top of the new package amount so we go from 2GB to 6GB! Plenty of room for our guild memories 📷

The downside is that there is only 1 month worth of funds left for the teamspeak server which will cover until the end of May. If you want to help out then please make a donation to help keep things running.
