🌊 Welcome to Aethersea
We're a semi-competitive GvG guild — we take the game seriously when it counts, but we're not going to breathe down your neck. If you want a place that pushes you to improve without the drama, you're in the right spot.
🎯 What We're About
We compete in Guild Wars and aim to stay in the top rankings. We win by playing smart together, not by yelling at each other over mistakes.
⚔ GvG Information & Expectations
Here's some important information on what to expect during GvG (If you're a GvG Player)
🛡 Weapon Choices & Team Composition
We don't force members to play specific weapon combinations, but we do provide recommendations for players who want guidance.
We will still try to give everyone opportunities to play. However, the less meta or flexible a build is — especially if multiple players are using the same type of build — the harder it may be to fit everyone into the final roster depending on the matchup and team needs.
📋 Sign-Ups Are Mandatory
Responding to the sign-up poll in #guild-war-signups is mandatory if you want to be considered for the roster, whether you are attending or not.
This is extremely important for:
- Planning replacements
- Building balanced team compositions
- Organizing roles ahead of time
We will finalize and post rosters on Fridays, so please make sure to sign up by Thursday whenever possible.
You should still vote or update your vote even after the roster is posted to indicate that you are available as a reserve/bench player.
If your availability changes, please update your vote as soon as possible, especially if you selected Tentative.
⏰ Late / Absence Notices
If you'll be:
- Late
- Leaving early
- Suddenly unable to attend
Please notify us immediately in #early-out-late-absence so we can adjust the roster accordingly.
🗺 War Plans & Strategy
Strategies, maps, and visual guides will be posted in #war-plans before each war.
Everyone is encouraged to review and understand their role beforehand. We still go over everything again before the match, especially for newer players.
If anything is unclear, please ask questions.
📌 Rosters & Assigned Roles
The final roster and any special assignments will be posted in #roster.
This may include junglers, tree carriers, chicken throwers, Tank EX pull order, and other role-specific responsibilities.
The roster may still change up until the last minute. If there are any changes affecting you, we will tag you directly.
🎯 Following Calls
Following calls during the match is extremely important.
Even if a call may not seem optimal in the moment, we need everyone to commit to the play without hesitation. Decisions can always be reviewed afterward, but during the match teamwork and coordination matter most.
🎤 Communication During GvG
Communication is encouraged, but comms should stay focused and concise.
Who calls:
- The shotcaller has final say during fights
- Support callers handle assigned info (timers, etc.)
- Anyone can speak up for quick, critical info — keep it brief and clear
Useful comms:
- Enemy movement
- Jungle / boss timers
- EX coordination
- Bomb setups
- Any other important fight info
Please avoid:
- Talking over the shotcaller or active callers
- Off-topic chatter during fights — save it for downtime
- Arguing or questioning calls mid-fight — feedback can come after the game
- Long explanations in combat — short and direct is best
🎥 VODs & Improvement
We highly appreciate players who record and share gameplay in #vods-stats.
The purpose is never to shame players. Reviewing gameplay helps us:
- Improve as a team
- Learn from mistakes
- Verify role execution
- Develop better strategies
Mistakes are completely normal and part of improving together.
🎉 Final Note
Our goal is to have as much fun as possible while still taking GvG seriously and staying competitive.
🌊 Welcome aboard, sailor. 🌊
