<Bomb Squad> Giant Bomb community guild
*Grumble* I wish I could play with you guys. Horde and PvE server would have been perfect too, since I've mostly rolled Alliance before and I'm so sick of dudes killing me because I suck.
Stupid geographical differences.
Yeah we had a big burst of new people join the guild yesterday including me. I think Dave had something to do with this as I saw his tweet about starting up WoW on this realm with fellow giantbombers. Very active guild with friendly conversation which is hard to find in most guilds in this game.
As a complete noob to the world of MMOs and WOW i can honestly say joining this guild was the best decision ever. I've gotten a lot of tips on how to play and a member basically tutored me for an hour, it makes the game SO much more enjoyable having good company to play with. I used to hear horror stories about MMO but man was i wrong, goodbye life, hello WoW.
" Anyone got a character around level 10 that wants to quest together? "i have an 11 troll hunter, if you dont mind questing with someone very very new to the game im up for it anytime im on
This sounds like great fun. I am going to be dipping my toes into WoW to check out the new Cataclysm stuff, so it will be cool to find some folks to do that with.
Well I might have to join you guys! I'm still debating whether to buy Cataclysm in order to be a Goblin, or to wait until I'd actually reach the 80+ content." @Babble said:
" How active is the guild these days? I'm thinking about getting back in and it would be nice to have some folks to play with, or even just to chat! "It is very active now, with usually 8-12 people online at a time. "
" I used to play quite a bit of WoW but I'm used to PvP servers, never set foot in PvE.. So I'm just guna ask how is it? Will I be missing the ganking and does it feel "carebear" in comparison lol, anyone who came from PvP with some insight would be awesome. "I used to play on a pvp server and in my opinion pve is much better. Sure it was fun killing people half your level or tracking down a random person questing near you but I find reading the quest text, exploring the new land, and never worrying about being jumped is much better.
" @Babble: The Goblin stuff seems pretty awesome from what I've caught here and there. I would have bought Cataclysm already, but Goblins can't be Paladins, so I went Tauren. "That was the main draw for me. For now I think I'll give the new zones a go without buying Cataclysm. I don't want to spend $40 to find out MMOs aren't my thing any more.

There's no real difference other than the lack of random world PVP. It's a little bit more laid back, but the quality of players remains mostly the same.

The entire guild is made up of GB dudes which means it's pretty friendly. Most of us are starting new characters so it's a good time to join the guild, lots of random achievement pop-ups :)
Probably going to make a character and join next week once my finals are over. If it goes well, might ship a higher level over from my main server. Looking forward to playing with you folks!
I haven't played in over a year... Cataclysm has me rethinking everything. How many of you guys are rolling new characters? I had thought maybe giving a Goblin Lock a whirl... any thoughts? My main is a 46 Blood Elf Rogue. If there's a bunch of peeps playing and I can relearn from vets what all is going on - you might have me spending 39.99 in the next few minutes. I have two finals this week but I'm ready for them.
Just joined as Thedocktor. Still trying to decide if this is the character I want to play but so far seems really awesome.

They retooled the way they teach you to play with new pop up tips and such. Easy as ever to get in and have fun.
I joined tonight with my newly made character, Shiftyvoodoo. We did a run of RFC. Seems like a nice crowd.
On that note, any love for your European brothers, I might consider 'going back' if I there was a fun guild to join.
Awwww, PVE? I was ever going to play on a US server (I live in Australia) just to play with you guys. :(
Can someone make a PVP one?
Heh wish I had an US account for this. Being a Lobster in Star Trek Online was quite a highlight for me.
" @Eneko said:My main is on an eastern server. Sometimes my ping is in the 200s and I find it difficult to schedule raid times. This guild seems pretty laid back though, I've been meaning to make an orc warrior" Wish it wasn't eastern :[ "A lot of us are from all over. I'm west coast obviously. "
It's a cool, laid back group. I rolled a Goblin Priest named Godred or Gordred. Something like that.
Still messing with my UI a bit, but it's starting to feel very giant bomb / hordey. I'll likely open up photoshop over next weekend and create some custom skins themed to the guild. Once that's up I'll post some more screenshots and how tos. I use that bottom right blank area for combat text and the vehicle buttons. In any case, we're up to 130 or so members and gaining daily. If you ever thought about rejoining WoW it's a good time to start since pretty much all of us are leveling up from scratch.
" The War Games mode Blizzard developers had mentioned over the summer is finally happening. This feature will allow premade teams of the same faction to organize unranked Battleground or Arena matches against each other. This has potential for us as a guild. "Sweet!

Nice stuff Dave. I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of blacking out a section of the screen, but maybe that's because my laptop screen is 1280x800 and space is more of a concern. I'm rolling with the default UI at the moment, but at some point in the near future I'll spend a couple of hours making something a bit more usable.
I used to be way into UI stuff (back around TBC)... I should have some screenshots of old UIs hanging around, so I'll post them when I get the chance.

It's probably worth pointing out that there are no servers located in Oceania, so all Australian and New Zealand players (including myself) have a ping of at least 250, no matter what server we play on. It's not that big a deal." @snide said:

" Thanks to Demokk, Istabthings, Nitrospark and Shiftyvoodoo for some efficient WC and VC runs tonight, and for getting some guild achievements!Istabthings is me. :D Had a ton of fun tonight.

I'm seriously considering moving my 80 BElf mage over...
EDIT: Yeah I'm gonna do it. Name is Erisena.
This is dumb. Why do they need a cap and lower limit on XP contributed? Didn't they add the first so they wouldn't need the second?
