Progression Based Linkshell on Zalera LFM - Take advantage of your free transfer!

[Oriaden]

Daes Dae'mar was created with the idea of bringing together those of us who enjoy progression but find party finder groups to be rather lack luster or downright hostile. We consider ourselves medium-core with a focus on personality compatibility, having a good time, and actually completing content (so skill is important to us).


Is Daes Dae'mar a good fit for you?

For people who find themselves pugging most progression content, it's hard to feel like you're actually a part of a community. Free Companies often times feel like various cliques just mashed together, making it hard for newcomers to feel welcome or involved. We want to offer a remedy for those situations. We want to offer a remedy for people facing those experiences or craving a place to call "home".

We know this has already been attempted many times over and often fails for a number of reasons.

• Poor quality control - We believe that the only way a linkshell like this can succeed is by providing members a place to go where they don't hope a specific person answers because of subpar performance.
  
• Drama - Progression can be stressful, we all get that. However, it doesn't need to be aggressive or ruthless. There's room for a good laugh with good people. Drama is unacceptable within Daes Dae'mar for any reason.
  
• Incompatible personalities - While it's impossible to create something where everyone loves everyone else, a large part of LS recruitment is going to focus on finding people with the right type of personality (explained further below)
  
• Different goals - It always feels like there's a disconnect in LSs like the one we're attempting to build. People find themselves sending tells to certain players out of fear that another person will respond who is not the right fit for the content.

Our Approach

In order to avoid the issues above there are a set of standards and "rules" we've come up with.

• Being a mid-core focused LS, we want our members to have a good grasp on their role whether it be DPS, tank, or healer. There's always room for improvement and we strongly support the idea of helping someone take steps towards bettering themselves as a player. We encourage feedback and communication so we expect our members to be able to handle receiving said feedback.
  
• To stave off drama, issues between members must be handled outside of LS chat. If it filters into LS chat, the people involved will receive a single warning. If it happens a second time, they are removed from the LS. We also encourage our members to let us know if they witnessed something that we did not.
  
• As stated before, we're aware that we can't make everyone like each other but there has to be a certain level of compatibility. We will never tolerate harassment, belittlement, or hate speech towards anyone or any group of people. That being said, it is also important that our members are not easily offended. Nothing is worse then having someone around who is constantly trying to censor people.
  
• Our main mission is to supply a fun, welcoming community via LS (and FC for interested people) for mid-core players that are interested in a more social and engaging progression experience. That does mean that there are performance standards involved; however, we are open to assisting players who want to reach that level of game play and success with their class. A positive attitude and a drive to learn your class is always welcome here. Please be aware that may exclude you from some groups while we work with you simply because of the goal of the group (for example if a raid team needs a replacement or if a group is going for a clear with a tight DPS checks or complex mechanics). That does not mean you will be ignored or never invited to anything but we wanted to be completely clear.

What we want to offer

• Events - Not necessarily content based but we want to incorporate fun, social events to bring people together and allow members to get to know each other. We also wanted to make them fun and rewarding giving away prizes through different contests. These will not only be geared towards battle classes but also crafters and gatherers.
  
• Discord server - Yes, everyone has one but it's an excellent way to keep in contact with people so even if you don't want to transfer to Zalera, you're more than welcome to join the discord and be a part of the community that way.

FC Specific

• Discounted Raid Consumables - Pots and food that won't cost some form of body part
  
• Free glamour prisms - FC chest stocked for all of your glamour needs
  
• This is just the start. We plan on expanding this list in the future

Zalera

Originally from Gilgamesh, we decided to relocate to a less populated server so if we had people who wanted to transfer over and join our community, they would be able to.

If you're interested please feel free to shoot me a message on Zalera (Oriax Nox) or comment on this thread. We'd love

I'm definitely interested in talking but I don't have a character on Zalera. I'll summerize my more basic questions...

What does the size here look like? Zalera doesn't have the population of Balmung and I want to know there are people around to do content with as it arises.

Do you require a certain level of social interaction? I'm a damn butterly but my boyfriend is a bit stoic. Mostly because (other than his moves) he doesn't type as fast as most. Stupid people playing outside when they should have been coding.

Are queue times on Zalera significantly better? I don't want to give up my rank 8 FC to have to only wait behind 1,500 people instead of 2k. I understand the game can do anything but just looking for your personal input.

I have never raided before. I want to. The boyfriend played WoW but I never did. I very much enjoy the idea there and am open to suggestion but if the feedback to me (as a healer) is going to be "main AST" instead of "well you could weave your oGCD's better by doing this" then I'm not about it.

Sorry if this comes off abrupt. I'm a rather straightforward person and I'm also sitting in a queue of 2,868 people right now to log in.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hey, ff-life-long Zaleran here o/
snooping around the Balmung boards after the massive influx of transferees. We were a small server but now are around a mid-pop server thanks to the incentive program.
Even with this influx of people there are no queues to get into the server. At most you'll get that 'queue: 1' bug that is easily fixed by canceling and re-clicking. Our community is very friendly and close-knit. We've a fb page - but i dont recall if we have a discord. Our raid scene is kinda small but steadily growing even prior to the incentive program.
