Conviction - FC/LS: We're recruiting!

http://i.imgur.com/FvZtyOu.png

Conviction is looking to add new and veteran players alike heading into the release of FFXIV:ARR. The community has been around since the start of 1.0 and has enjoyed success with all facets of end game. The community as a whole has been around for over 6 years now, enjoying a multitude of different games together.

We already have several players in the community starting fresh or returning from 1.0 so there will be an increased focus in supporting new players as well as pushing end game content early so there is an opportunity to share in all aspects of the game.

We are a dedicated but fun group that enjoys a good challenge. We are helpful and generous to all of those involved in our community.

Here is a brief history and outlook for Conviction heading into 2.0, written by Zettai Ryouiki

FFXIV 1.0 History
Conviction was formed in 1.0 beta and jumped into release with a heavy crafting focus. Many of the lead crafters would become the first NA players to cap their respective classes, competing only with their JP counterparts for control of the markets. This crafting linkshell began to attract "battlecrafters" and by the time HNMs were released in December 2010, Conviction would be the home to the majority of rank 50 NA players. This strong start combined with a dedicated roster helped pave the way to many endgame achievements.

(...continue from above)

Conviction has benefited from stability throughout FFXIV. Indecent Proposal created the linkshell in beta and I have been leading ever since I took over in April 2011. Players that joined in 2010 were active up until the 1.0 servers went offline. Despite a serious lack of content, we were able to maintain a weekly raiding schedule since I became leader two years ago (minus the two weeks that a few of us went to Japan!).

We completed all content available including relics, white ravens, and all dungeons and speed runs.

(...continue from above)

ARR Structure
Barring a major revelation regarding Free Company housing and bonuses, we will have one FC and one linkshell. The FC will be comprised of:

• Endgame players led by Zettai Ryouiki
• Community players led by Indy Cent

Since FCs have their own chat channel, the linkshell will be used to help organize endgame groups before and during raids.

Free Company
Although we will have a clear division between endgame and community rosters, we are merging both into the same Free Company. This allows us to provide perks to the largest audience possible while using the fewest resources. We realize that it takes a wide variety of people to make a successful guild and that the entire spectrum of players can benefit from working together.

(...continue from above)

The FFXIV relaunch hype has aroused the interest of many congaming.com community members, as well as drawing out many veterans from our early 1.0 adventures. We have a very healthy roster at all levels of the game and look forward to adding fresh faces along the way.

Free Company Applications
An application will be required to join the Free Company as either a community or endgame player. This is to help find players with the right mindset that would allow them to succeed with this group. At this time we do not have minimum level requirements for community members so new players are welcome.

(...continue from above)

Recruits will be given a 30-day trial period after their application is accepted. Current members will discuss the recruit's performance and attitude in the forums, and a final decision will be made at the end of the trial window. A player's attitude and activity level are perhaps the biggest aspects being considered.

Please note that although we may use community members to help fill endgame parties, they are not guaranteed endgame roster spots once they reach that point of progression. Transitions between community and endgame status will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

(...continue from above)

Endgame Recruitment/Operations
The 10 months between XIV versions have added some uncertainty to our existing endgame roster. Coupled with alliance content and new-game hype (and the accompanying turnover rates) we probably won't develop a solid raiding core until a few months after release. As such, our endgame needs aren't as clear as they were in 1.0. There will be a lot of flexibility with how endgame is handled until we settle down into a routine.

(...continue from above)

Anyone interested in endgame participation at release is welcome to apply. This assumes the player has at least one level 50 job, access to most endgame content, can play regularly during the evening, and familiarity with the new ARR combat system and job skills. As mentioned before, there will be some flexibility which can be worked out during the application process. While the plan is to help everyone achieve their in-game goals, please note that expectations and participation may vary according to your experience and levels.

We had high standards and experienced much success in 1.0, so the goal is a return to those standards. Our endgame requirements will become further defined once we find equilibrium in ARR.

(...continue from above)

DKP and minimum endgame attendance
We have never used a DKP system and do not plan on starting in ARR. Also, we do not require attendance for events or have login requirements (although extended absences without prior notification may require action). It is not difficult to see who is contributing to our endgame goals and who isn't. The less you login, the less opportunities you will have - such is the nature of the endgame beast. You get out of Conviction whatever you put in.

For reference, every Conviction endgame member that played consistently during the final months of 1.0 obtained at least one relic weapon.

(...continue from above)

Communication
The linkshell uses both these forums and vent heavily for organization. While speaking on vent isn't necessary for most players, the use of vent is required for the majority of our endgame events.

Free Company Rules
Use common sense - we are all adults. Everyone has fun in their own way and if it's even remotely close to our flavor of fun then we should get along just fine.

Endgame members are expected to give a heads-up when they expect to miss a planned event. Common courtesy, but still worth mentioning.

Thanks to a very successful recruiting drive we have nearly filled our quota for community players and/or players that are newer to the game. :)

At this time we are only looking to add players with at least one level 50 job and some experience with FFXIV endgame.

Anyone is welcome to apply, please be patient as we organize our roster moving forward. There will always be opportunities to be accepted as the game moves forward.

oh! I didn't know that! Good to know. Thanks! ^^b

Wapiko!!!


I have had good dealings with lots of Conviction peoples and have some friends in their end-game team. Glad to see you guys will be back, I always love me some friendly competition. Will definitely see you guys outside of Bahamut's Labyrinth!


P.S.- Don't let Tousou go back to mining, all of his talent will be wasted doing cheap menial labor!

Quatre is a sexy miqo'te male now?!?! /shocked

Don't like your handsome hyur? :p

I think TouTou got both of his Sphairai and pickaxe sharpened for 2.0. Hehe~

I'll see you and the rest of Mercs+1 in 11 hours. :D

You just didn't see TouTou @ the miner's guild at night ^_~ His talents weren't wasted at all :p

Okay, sent in my application. Hope to take part soon :3

I saw you mentioned your raiding stuff isn't set in stone, but do you have a ballpark on the times? Or timezone?

It's still tough to tell because everyone has unusual playtimes due to the re-release (people taking vacation, staying up odd hours, etc). I'm still curious to see how things work out once we settle down, but ballpark estimate would be 8PM to 1AM Eastern time.

That's awesome. When did you guys down Titan? Also, do you accept LS members who do not belong to the FC? I run XIVSocial LS and we have an FC, Noblesse Oblige but I would like to hold pearls with some of the larger and long standing 1.0 LSs that helped build the original Hyperion community.

I know how integral you guys were to Hyperion back in 1.0 and always had respect. It would be nice to be an Ally I guess?

We beat Titan this morning. It's funny because we said we'd make one last attempt before calling it a night. Then we got this far before wiping:

Of course, it's impossible to leave off on that note so we tried again. And again. On that second extra attempt we got it! Great times, the music is perfect and the excitement really kicks in when you see just a sliver of his HP left, slowly dwindling away :D

Regarding the linkshell question, we don't have a social linkshell anymore. Our FC is used to house everyone - endgame players, recruits, congaming.com community members, and friends of community members. Then we have a linkshell just for the endgame stuff.

If you've got a linkshell to share, lemme know :)

Zett, it was early morning for you, but it was Sep 2 10:28pm PST for me when we shattered it. :p

And then we did some BCoB attempts... I got maybe three hours of sleep before work :(

/comfort
/high5

Still looking for people? I'm interested.

I have 50 WAR,PLD,WHM,BLM,BRD

Currently working on finishing the story.. on 47 SMN.
