[A-WPvP] <Foolish Whisper> Defias Brotherhood

PVP War Mode and World PvP
1

Good evening, everyone. It sure has been a while.

The work we’ve done and the connections we’ve made over the past few weeks and beyond have borne fruit, so it’s a great pleasure to be the first to introduce you to <Foolish Whisper> - the latest (and greatest, prove me wrong) Alliance world PvP initiative, and one that’s long overdue.

Who are we?

<Foolish Whisper> is a dedicated, full-time world PvP guild that was formed by lost souls in the wake of Legion, where many players were left homeless following the disappearance of virtually every Alliance WPvP guild on the realm. The guild was established under the banner of a common need to return to form, against all the odds.

Since the BfA pre-patch, we’ve experimented with every possible realm type and environment to find the place we can thrive best, and it’s none other than we started so many years ago - home, on Defias Brotherhood.

<Foolish Whisper> prides itself on a proven, working model: good attitudes, clear communication, and likemindedness. We know what we want, and we know how to achieve it - and we hope to inspire others to band together and do the same.

World PvP is at the forefront of everything we do, and any other content is secondary. Battle for Azeroth has required more adaption and flexibility than almost any other expansion we’ve seen so far, and whilst many of us have had to wade a little out of depth to keep up with the current metagame, we never lose sight of what’s really important. This means that arena, raiding, and Mythic + all take a back-seat, and whilst our players partake in these on the side, we expect everybody to divert full attention and enthusiasm to the war in the open world, whenever crunch time rolls around.

A beating social heart keeps the guild alive, and the ability to communicate clearly and well are fundamental, both inside and outside of world PvP. The ideal fit will be friendly, motivated, and with an incredibly robust sense of humour - whilst also knowing how to knuckle down and get to the key information every time we take the fight to the Horde. It goes without saying that respect is another crucial virtue for every player among us, as especially during these uncertain times, since success and longevity hinges on everybody being able to support one another - regardless of the external circumstances.

To close this out, we, as a guild, believe that there’s a certain way of going about business in such a way that’s good for the realm, and the sanity of its players.

That’s why:

• We won’t be phasing outsiders from other realms.

• We’re committed to small-scale and will never touch the Group Finder, or band together in obscene and unnecessary numbers.

• We don’t co-operate with Alliance LFG raids, or raids from non-RP realms.

• We won’t be associating ourself with any empty forum drama. Instead, we can be reached by any player or guild, regardless of faction, to discuss and facilitate actual, productive initiatives or changes.

• We’re committed to seeing this project through, no matter what.

With all of the above said and done, let’s talk about:

Who are you?

You’re a go-getter. You’re able, sociable, and flexible. You know what you’re talking about and you’re eager to share and learn. You’ve seen it all before, or maybe you haven’t, and now is the time to start. You value quality, utility, and strategy above all else, and you’re fearless in your execution. You don’t give up easily, because you don’t need to; you’ve already got a plan B.

Your head’s in the right place and you’ve got your priorities straight. You’re blessed with a working brain, mic, Discord client, and you know just what needs to be said, right when it needs to be said. Despite all the heartless things you’re doing out in the world, you’ve got a good heart of your own, and you keep your friends close. We’re all in this together, and we’re just missing you.

Most importantly, you made it this far, because you’re passionate. It’s just a game, but you know it’s naive to pretend that we haven’t been here far too long to not get attached.

So what do you say?

If we sound like the right guild, we’d love to hear from you. We’re currently interested in all applicants, however, there’s a small handful of folks that we’re especially interested in, on a priority basis.

These are:

• Frost Mage
• Resto Shaman
• Unholy Death Knight
• Priest (of any specialisation)
• Balance Druid
• Outlaw Rogue
• Healers (of all classes)

We appreciate you making it this far, and we look forward to the years ahead, whatever they might have in store. All that’s left to ask is:

How can I apply?

You can reach out to anybody in-game and they’ll redirect you to the right people, but to cut out the middleman, you can add me GM, Tzuyu, at Sophena#2180, or my trusty officer at lore#21354 - and we’ll be able to hook you up with whatever information you might be looking for.

That’s all for now, and we look forward to seeing the rest of you out there. Actions speak louder than words, so let’s hear it.

Interesting concept, would be great if LfG was not needed to counter enemy gank raids. My small WPvP community can potentially gather 5 for a party, but needs LfG for retaliations at the moment. I’d prefer not to use LfG, but will when need the numbers. Playing with community members is ofc always gonna be better than with randoms.

The advantage of a guild, members are expected to take part. Community is expected to be more relaxed about participation, since members are likely to be in guilds and other communities. In reality, people are gonna want to do their thing. If you can gather dedicated WPvPers, that would be great.

For your guild, it’s gonna be about numbers, enough online at same time. But if you have planned events that’s doable I’m sure. I’ve been running things more ad hoc in my community, which I prefer, but has pros and cons. Assaults have been our most active WPvP. Recruitment is easy with a community, but finding those dedicated WPvPers, that are on at same time, have patience, and are proactive, not easy :slight_smile:

Hypothetical situation…

There’s a Horde raid in your zone, 30 members from mixed realm types. This happens now and again. They are savagely ganking innocent Alliance, and have 5 bounties in their group.

You are in the same zone with 10 members in your raid group, and are able to get 5 more from guild(s) and local defence, making it 30 v 15.

They are organized, have 5 healers to your 2.

Hypothetical question…

What do you do in the above hypothetical situation?

We have LFG coming into our shard almost every single day because we have a special case doing a certain something which is rather annoying and eventually turns it into a 40 man raid, where as we are only ever max 5 people.

We don’t take or accept randoms into our groups we like to keep it small scale but if we have to fight bigger raids we won’t turn down a fight. Just a week ago we fought a 30 man raid and wiped them with 5 of us lmao.

Same for a couple of days ago we 3v15’d an LFG raid but once it becomes the big numbers it becomes an issue but right now we are just having fun, but unfortunately the shards and zones are pretty dead till 8.2 I’m going to assume.

But we will still go out in the world every day and night looking for people to gank and having fun we hope to see the horde doing the same!

Happy ganking
Tzuyu~

Maybe, they are maybe they arne’t I haven’t seen a whole lot of interest just old friends that want to come join us which is great and all I just wish there was a horde guild on the RP realms that would square up and face us on a daily basis to make things more interesting.

But there just isn’t, we are just fighting randoms which turns into them zerging 5 people with like 30+ people and it just kind of ruins the fun in the end for everyone involved I’m pretty sure noone has fun zerging 5 people and feel accomplished over it.

We are still recruiting the classes stated above on Defias Brotherhood Alliance.

Well, having a core of friends to get you started is positive. If you can get your side of things going, that could motivate a Horde guild response :slight_smile:

A warm welcome to those who found us through our battles in Zuldazar tonight! It’s nice to see the Horde making an effort to mount a defense, even in the wee hours, but alas - it wasn’t quite enough. Here’s to next time.

As a quick reminder, we’re still looking for new applicants of all classes, with a special focus on:

• Frost Mage
• Resto Shaman
• Unholy Death Knight
• Priests (of any specialisation)
• Balance Druid
• Outlaw/Subtlety Rogues
• Destruction/Affliction Warlocks
• Healers (of all classes)

See you soon.

PS: We make every effort to ensure that every invasion is just as agonising and unfulfilling as this one. Be sure to keep an eye on your favourite assault timer website to stay in the loop!

As we came to realise last night that the BFA zones are scuffed to hell so we decided to try something different and we headed out to Orgrimmar we only went there for memes and for old times and we ended up fighting there for 6 hours all sorts of different groups came to defend there city it’s prolly been the best thing in BFA that I have done or witnessed so far.

Thank you for everyone that took part in the WPvP in Orgrimmar, we will be come back at you with more WPvP in the near future hopefully in the older zones because the sharding feels way better.

Here’s a little something I threw together from the few clips I got last night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOsoPQLyQpo&feature=youtu.be

We are still recruiting all the classes stated above in the previous posts.

See you all very soon!
