<LEVIATHAN> Tribe Gaming is recruiting! 12+ Years activity

http://ft.trillian.im/b9d00ed67f5f84...hyXUCTeI6X.png

TRIBE HAS CLOSED IT'S DOORS AND IS NO LONGER A FC ON LEVIATHAN. Thanks for the last year and 9 months.


Hi there, my name is David and I am the Chapter Leader for Tribe's FFXIV ARR Chapter.

Tribe (http://www.TribeGaming.com) is a very active gaming community; gaming is our passion and our primary pastime. We currently play in many games: FFXIV, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Wildstar, Star Citizen and soon to be EQ Next. Currently World of Warcraft and FFXIV ARR are our most active chapters. We have had past chapters in games such as AION, Warhammer Online, TERA, EvE, RIFT, GW2, ESO, The Secret World, Hellgate: London and many more.

We have an open but gated recruitment for FFXIV (and other chapters) and are eagerly awaiting applications for those looking to progress endgame content. We also accept casual members that realize our focus is endgame as well as new and leveling up folks that have endgame as a goal.


We have written a 2 month recap on what we started with, accomplished and where we sit currently in regards to the chapter as a whole. I encourage anyone interested in an active friendly Free Company to give it a look! - 2 Month Recap -

We've also written a 7 month entry here 7 Month Recap . Enjoy the read!

Community:
Our philosophy is simple: Gaming is our hobby and our love, so we bring together others to join us. Most of our members are working adults in our 20s-30s, but we have some outside that range. Many are married, and we have several couples that play together. We view our members as people, not as toons, and our recruitment focuses on the attitude and personality, not the gear and the meters. Most of us know each other on a first-name basis, we even have an annual get-together (TribeCon), also optional, and some of us have been to guildies’ weddings.

Dedication:
In Tribe, most of us are online nightly because we enjoy it so much, but we understand if you can’t make it to every single event or be on daily. We expect you to have your life in order, but realize that emergencies happen. We do expect you to represent Tribe while playing with main characters as well as alts. We want you to be here because you want to be here. If you are thinking of applying but only plan exploit for self-gain or to use us as a raiding stepping stone, please move on. In Tribe you get out of it what you put into it. If you are sociable, jump on mumble with us, you will have a LOT of fun. If however you solo all content and rarely talk, you may feel somewhat in the rough.

Applying:
Apply through the forum application and learn more information at http://www.TribeGaming.com If you have issues registering or the Captcha email me at Daveschadt@Hotmail.com or Skype me at Daveschadt and I'll work on a fix :)

Goals:
We are focused on end game. This means we are focused on FCOB groups as well as 2BCOB groups with focus towards FCOB. Also we will be hosting in and out of guild events so look out for us! :D

Info:
• Free Company created on day 1 and were Rank 5 on day 2 of Pre-release. Currently Max Rank.
• 80+ Active Members
• 2 FCOB Static Raid Groups - Goal is 3-4 (Turn 13 progression and Turn 12 progression)
• 2 2BCOB Static Raid Groups - Goal is 3+
• Active Mumble with 60-90 participants at a time
• Ingame Contacts: Ingame Contacts: Liono Dragonstar/Sharess Dragonstar/Luna Dragonstar, Dragonmaster Dave.

What We Offer:
Tribe will provide a community in which you can enjoy the company and fellowship of other gamers, “where everybody knows your name”. ;-) We share feedback with those looking to learn (current spec, new class, new job, new game, software, etc…) just about anything we know.

Thank you for your time and I wish you the best of times with FFXIV ARR.

We aren't so much looking for Roles or spots we're looking for both casual members for the Free Company/forums for a good place for people to come and have fun as well as people that are skillful for coil. We have 7 separate groups per week right now and have plans to go to 10 soon. :)

We raid 3 days a week (Tues/Weds/Thurs) We have 3 raid times PST CST and CET. PST is 7:30-10pm PST (9:30-12AM CST), CST is 7:30-10pm CST (5:30-8 PST) and CET is changing it's time slightly but is PST equivalent from 9:30-12:30 PST or 11:30-2:30 CST. Currently we have 3 groups on PST and 3 on CST with 1 CET.

Turn 4 is complete and on average we have 3 groups of the 7 working on Turn 5 in the week.

This is a recent addition to the member testimonial thread from Lawlz/Lauren

I recently joined Tribe after looking for a social raiding guild or the World of Warcraft forum. My husband and I had come off a 2 year break from WoW, all our friends had left WoW and we found ourselves in the market for a guild. I have to admit, when I was initially offered to apply to Tribe I was a little hesitant. I had known raiders of this caliber, and I wasn't sure that I wanted to be in another elitist guild. We decided to apply and see what we thought.
During the application process, I chatted with a couple of members of the guild on Mumble and in game. They seemed really nice, but I was still worried. After our application was accepted, my worries evaporated within 24 hours.
Somehow, this guild has kept its heart and stayed humble. In my entire eight years of playing this game, I have never felt more comfortable in such a big guild with such amazing raiding progression. I've only been here for a couple of months, and I have laughed, cried and had an absolute blast with these guys and girls. Blizzard has suddenly become big on saying "WoW is better with friends", well I honestly feel like I've been adopted into a family upon joining Tribe. Where in the gaming world these days do you get a group of gamers that knows each others first name? That actually want to know the person they're playing with, rather than the character the person is playing? Not many places.
Gamers are so often seen as anti social beings. People who would rather live with their heads inside a make believe world than socialise with real people. MMO's are the exception, but even so, it's so rare to have a guild that is so close knit.
I'm very thankful to have found myself here. Thank you, Tribe. You're kinda awesome =)

Thanks Lauren, you're kinda awesome too!!!

Still looking for both casual members and raiders!

We raid 3 days a week (Tues/Weds/Thurs) We have 3 raid times PST CST and CET. PST is 7:30-10pm PST (9:30-12AM CST), CST is 7:30-10pm CST (5:30-8 PST) and CET is changing it's time slightly but is PST equivalent from 9:30-12:30 PST or 11:30-2:30 CST. Currently we have 3 groups on PST and 3 on CST with 1 CET.

Hey all,

Just thought I would let everyone know that I am now one of our recruitment guides so if you have any questions regarding Tribe or want to run something send me a tell ingame. I am especially looking for any Hawaiian players since thats where I live and would love to have more island in Tribe.

Cheers!

Hi all! We're still accepting new members if you find yourself interested in joining the family of Tribe! One of our mottos in Tribe has been, 'Tribe: Come for the games, stay for the people' and it really is true. I've been with Tribe from TERA, through GW2, and now to FFXIV and a few game nights on other games in between. Its really awesome to be trying out a new or old game and throw up a forum post asking if anyone else is playing and finding a few others are indeed playing that game and having some people to play with.

As we get closer to the holiday season, remember that the best gift you can give yourself is that of a FC in FFXIV. ;)

Check us out at Tribegaming.com

I know its a couple days off yet, but many are traveling to be with families and such right now, so I want to go ahead and say...

Happy Thanksgiving from Tribe! Eat, Drink, and Be Merry! Also, be safe in your travels. Best wishes to all of you! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!! Be safe and be merry with family and friends!

Hope everyone had a safe black friday! I know I was working. The best kind of shopping you can do, is shopping for the right FC. <Tribe>, now 75% off! Join now while supplies last!

What's everyone looking forward to most with the upcoming 2.1 patch?

Warrior buffs are what I'm looking forward to!

Also, we're still looking for more people interested in raiding. :)

I know I am looking for latency fixes in Titan and Coil.

Once they resolve those I can't wait to try extreme primals!

We are all Super Pumped with the extreme HMs, new raids to do, PVP, Guild Housing, New HM Dungeons (I see Tonberries when I sleep thanks to WP lol)

Tribe is a family, we're for new and experienced players. We are always able to help new players to the game or MMOs in general, as well we are recruiting for our 8th and 9th Coil progression group. If interested in getting in a solid regular group of 8 people sign up msg what you’d like to/are available to raid on and we'll find a spot for you :)

I'm really excited for the latency fixes as an EU player. Another thing I'm excited for are the new pets and the treasure quests.

Hey all,

We are currently looking to recruit a WHM for our late night PST group. Normally we run Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 9pm PST. This is for a permanent spot provided you can make the raids (and are geared/skilled for coil). We just downed Turn 1 and are looking to make progress on Turn 2 later this week.

Check us out at tribegaming.com to apply or whisper me in game. Alfonso Chantrix

Tribe killed Turn 5 on Dec 11th 2013 in one of our many raid groups. Congrats Folks!

We just had another FFXIV member of ours post a Member Testimonial today and I wanted to share it with you guys:^

Hello all! As many of you know I go by Flatts or Marc. I have been in Tribe since FFXIV launch and with these months in Tribe and all the new games on the horizon it seems like a good time to write a testimonal.

I have always been a fairly heavy MMO player dating back to the first few months of UO. Since that time I have played almost every major MMO for anywhere from a few months to years. My favorite aspect of the genre is the communites that spring up. The past few years I have tried out the new MMOs as they have come out but I never really "scratched that itch". In the summer of 2013 I was deployed for several months. During that time I could only get my MMO fix from reading magizines and game websites. It was also during that time that I realized it was not the games that were unfulfilling, it was my experiences with them. I was choosing to play mostly solo or joining random guilds that did not have a warm or active community. At that point I decided to find a solid multi-game community. For me the hardest part of changing games is leaving all the friends you have made and starting over. After much searching and comparing different guilds I decided to apply to Tribe.

Best decision I could have made.

The Tribe community not only spans multiple MMOs officially, but also has smaller chapters in many other games as well. Tribe is home to all different playstyles. Want to raid and be at the top level of content? Do you prefer to play casual and explore every bit of the world as you progress? Is your idea of a good time sitting around in town crafting? Love to slaughter other players in PvP arenas? Tribe happily accepts all types. All that and I have yet to mention the best part.

Tribe members care about each other and go out of their way to help each other. Ya know, like you would do in real life. When they say "we care about the person behind the pixils" they mean it. Many members are on a first name basis. We know about each others lives outside of gaming. We post pictures of our kids or concerts we go to. We say hi and bye to each other in game (it sounds trivial but it means a lot). And countless other ways that Tribe has that community feel. I am very happy that I have found Tribe. I hope that I can keep gaming with my Tribe family for a long, long time to come.

So was going to app, but when I filled out the register for an account thingy it called me a spammer, and said to click the contact us button, so I did, and it sent me to the front page...so if one of you guys wants to hit me with a message here or whisper me in game (name: Stormy Plain) that would be great

...I decided to roll in Leviathan. I have not been disappointed. My first interaction with a Tribe member was Thomas Gallant, and I don't think I need to say more there as Thomas's name speaks for itself. Soon after I was being vetted on the boards, and welcomed in game and mumble.

Now seeing as it's only been two-three weeks in the FC I can't say it's family yet, that takes time. What I can say is I have met a lot of new and friendly members, who are both polite and helpful. Easy to talk to, never treated me like a noob or outsider. A group of players I am both honored to play with and proud to be a part of.

Also, I see the PS4 version is coming out soon, I know a lot of Tribe members are looking forward to it! I sadly have not purchased my PS4 yet, but after FFXIV is released on it, it'll sure give me a strong consideration to purchase one!

Join me in celebrating Tanky in his new position as Recruitment Guide!

Tanky wants YOU! Join Tribe today!
http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...pscf778bef.png

Tanky has been a reoccurring face for some time in recruitment. He interacts on all levels from the initial interest in Tribe, having people apply, interacting with their Application, and helping them through member review by both grouping with these individuals and by voting on them based on the experiences within.

He was chosen for his continued dedication to Tribe, FFXIV, his love for Recruitment and because of how excited he gets when an applicant becomes a fully endorsed member of Tribe.

I mean just look at him, how could we turn down a Roegadyn as excited as this?!?

http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...psc82242b7.png

Hello everyone! We have created a fairly new Guide position, the PVE Event Coordinator!
I am happy to present Hard Core as one of our PVE Event Coordinators :)

http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...psf03877ed.png

He has always been there to make himself available to help others learn the difficult ins and outs of FFXIV, whether that was gear optimization for your class or if it was that Extreme mode primal that you needed to down, or maybe it was your first Relic, Hard Core or Rhaegar Storm was probably available and offering help.

In this role he will assist players of Tribe with new 50 related events/fights/runs and will be setting up more pve related events throughout the coming weeks (think themed days and the like) for us to participate in. Where will these be posted you ask? Our forums of course!

Hey everyone, we have found our second PVE Event Coordinator!
I have the pleasure to present to you, Gee!

http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2c515eb2.png

It is known that we always pick the best person for the job. It's not so much about tenure as it is to have drive to accomplish your goals, objectivity, empathy, willingness to compromise, and several other leadership qualities we look for when picking members to join our leadership circle in Tribe. Join us in congratulating Gee in his new position. Welcome aboard Sir.

Tribe gaming: Now with 100% more coil learning groups! I am working with some of our other raiders to start up coil groups specifically for people who have limited experience in coil. At tribe we try to help all of our members progress, and this seems like the next natural step. Just got your darklight finished and got that (possibly shiny if you used two weeks of myth) new relic itching to stab a snake or floating ball? I got you covered. Join tribe and get in on the fun.

Tribe has had it's sights set high on the largest possible guild house for us, preferably set in district 1 of our chosen district for some time; on Tuesday (2014-03-02) at 10:30 PM this dream became a reality.

We invite you to our wonderful little home where you can enjoy a bridge view, some river fishing from our lot, and a relaxing view of the waterfall. We're in Gridania, District 1, Lot 6. Stop on by won't you? Our inside should be finished this week sometime.

Tanky Mctankerson/ Tanky Junior.

Just applied after visiting their site and reading testimonials! Seems like a great place and I can't wait to see what happens!:o

Hey everyone! One of our members decided to submit himself to the comments from our Members by making a Frozen parody ;p

For those of you who are interested in checking it out: http://www.smule.com/p/149559280_36551416

We are quite tickled by the guts and whit our members show us daily!

http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...ps58b576aa.jpg

So, we're just over 7 months into the game - WOW! It sure doesn't feel like that! - to me it feels like the game just came out last month. This might be because of how fast they are delivering content - which is amazing - the latest was 2.2 and in it came Leviathan Primal fight (see pic above) but let's put all of this on the back burner for a second and recap some of our amazing achievements both individual and as a whole.

In August, while still on Midgardsomr (during Closed and Open Beta) official servers were announced we had a long discussion as a community as to which would be the best server for Tribe and landed on Leviathan. Before the 24 hour mark on day 1 of creation of the FC we were Free Company Rank 5 (Max rank at the time) and had a surplus of guild credits for buffs.

11 days after servers going live (14 days after head start) Tribe held the World First FFXIV Server wide event in the form of Hide and Seek. This was fairly successful so we continued to do more events totalling 20+ before attendance started to dwindle due to the surplus of ingame progression options available.

On September 14th 2013 we did a guild gathering of all those online at the time at the Sanctum of the Twelve. It had a great turnout from all the people that participated.

Early September (10 - 19th) our fully geared players (i70 at the time) started dipping their toes into the Binding Coil of Bahamut (raid content). The following week, Sept 24-27, we did our first set of official raids. At the time we had 2 groups in CST and 2 groups in PST. In regards to current raiding, we had decide to go to static raid groups and at the end of 2.1 we had 13 Static groups on the go, since then we blew up 2 raid groups and are now looking at forming 3 more in the coming days. Raid times are figured out by the group by what is best for the group. On December 11th we cleared all current content (Turn 5) and put that internet dragon to work.

We also participated and won the Free Company Recruitment Video Contest Square Enix put forward. We did a Wildstar mock devspeak and had some fun with it. This was a very involved process and required a lot of us to coordinate with Lillith who helped us with the vast majority of video editing required to put it all together.

But all that's behind us. let's Fast Forward a bit...

http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3ae365c2.png

We recently obtained our Large Free Company House in Gridania District 1 Lot 6. This was a huge accomplishment for Tribe and cost us around 76 million Gil.

We also obtained the Leviathan Server First Leviathan Extreme Kill. Due to new lockouts and schedules we got a bit of a late start on T6 but several of our raid groups have it down and are working on T7 as I am writing this.

Currently we are in the top 5 guilds for progression on Leviathan, and regarding population and progression we are the top guild on Leviathan. We are also the only Free Company within the top tier to have an application process/gated entry, we're also the only one to kick inactive members (after 30 days they are removed and can be re invited without re-application once they resub and resume play).

With much to look forward to in the future (Cosair, Ninja, Tank being hinted at in the main 2.2 Storyline) as well as more paths of Crystal Tower (hopefully not DF content) as well as all the amazing monthly and bimonthly content they release for us, I am very excited, not just for this game (although it's awesome!) but with the quality of players in tribe.

Regardless if you played with us then and went inactive or left the community or just started playing with us yesterday you are all a part of this amazing machine we call Tribe. Both in skill and in personality I am honoured to play amongst you all.

In closing I've prepared a speech.



Tribers, my members of the community. I'd rather fight beside you than thousands of pugs.

HUH!

Let no person forget how menacing we are, we are Tribers!

Huh huh huh!

Do you know what's there, waiting, in that game? Camaraderie! Take it, it's yours!
