DVDF - is this one of the AB playing guilds? I heard the tag named several times before, but frankly I don't know them. |
Most well-known PvE guilds?

Well, I think Im well recognized...I have played for 3 years and talk to almost everyone. ^^
and when it comes to well known guilds, though I think they got disbanded *doesnt know*, I would think Boat. Those guys were awesome, especially that one party they hosted at the temple of balthazar...wow that was cool.
Btw, age does not equal knownness in guilds. I have had my guild since Feburary 05 beta and we are so tiny, I don't know how we have lasted so long besides my stubbornness. ^^"

The only guild I ever knew of was ZoS , the rest I just know from these forums.

"fame" in a pve guild is something that makes me giggle, cause honestly, pve guilds are meant for playing the game, enjoying the game, and enjoying the game with friends, nothing more, if i want fame and competition and noteriety i guest for a pvp guild, saying that SMS or LaZy or XoO are famous is kinda funny, cause aside from this forum SMS has no other one thing that would define them as famous, the fact that the way forum administration rights given are rather askewed by whether or not you are in SMS is what makes them famous.. that and racthoh came out with a few good builds, wooptey dooptey, don't see me having a mini party over the fact that there may or may not be people in the game playing my builds. as for LaZy, they are the epitamy of what pvpers steriotype pve guilds to be like simply because their mass recruiting, mind you their core are some very good players, but the mass recruiting in any alliance never helps, which quite simply put is what gives XoO a bad name as well, much like the guild i'm currently in, yes there's a good core of good players, but in the end it's the bad players everyone remembers. (i.e. 99 of your guildies can be open heart surgey doctors saving lives every day but one of them makes a living kicking babies and you'll forever be known as the guild full of baby kickers).
So in short, in this game, there really is no "famous PvE" guilds, but more so guilds with massive alliance or exploitive control over a forum so much so that you can't escape them that makes them known... it's not fame, it's that they're everywhere and you can't get away from it.

Guys this is a fun thread! Not a thread to get jealous over and say "I never herd of him so he iz not famus." Or "1 memb0r mad3 gud bild so wai dey all famus?"
Just simply state what guilds you thought have always been good and leave it at that. Dont just get jealous if your guild isnt exactly known!
now on topic:
-I only joined SMS recently in the middle of March but before that I have always kind of looked at them as a more elite group of PvE'ers. I have always also seen rare to look pretty good as well.
-As an individual I always remember Akhilleus since he was always so rich but that is a result of heavy power trading. O where o where did he disappear to?!
-SNOW guild
-Definetly cant forget Komali's Protector [oOo] as their Urgoz times have impressed me
That are some of the guilds/people i have thought to be pr3ttee 1337.

For being good at the game I'd say a lot of TAM players. Even if they aren't famous or whatever they actually have good players. I know there's some decent ones in SMS, and the average skill level of the guild increased immensely when Alex left. lolol.
In conclusion the best pve guild ever is Jagr closely followed by hawk smash and guild wars nomads

It would probably be LaZy with over 1300 members and all LaZy only guilds.

It should be based on what the community at large thinks, and there's no way to quantify that objectively.

Squishy ftw
Known guilds for me are: sms, snow, lazy, dvdf, lod and zos.
I won't say what I think about some of these tho, because known != good.

As pointed out, many guilds have have a number of core players who are usually of a very good standard. It's very difficult to judge who is or is not a good or nice player/guild based on forum posts and hersay. You really need to play with them to find out for sure.

To be fair if I wasn't in SMS i would have nominated them, I played with them way before I ever joined them, I joined them because they were the ultimate oximoron that is "Good PvE Guild", and because Rac totally owed me an invite because I let him play with guild I used to be in tbh, I'm aware that there may be a few guilds out there with the odd solid players in them, can't really say I know of any, and I can't really say I think most of the bronze trimmed scrubby euro guilds or tank and spank pve guilds that claim to be good actually are.
Personally I'd also like to say SoF, they are a great bunch of people that have done a lot for the community and there's a few people in there that have an exceptional understanding of the game that absolutely don't care to be known or anything. But they are awesome people who kept me playing the game for a long time. The Sealed Deck project was awesome too.

I am currently in LOD, and we have some notoriety but definitely the most notorious are SMS, ZoS, DVDF, and LaZy. SMS is known mainly through these forums, as multiple mods and avid forumers frequent Guru, as well as their prowess in understanding PvE. ZoS is know as the Anet guild, so of course they are popular. DVDF has gone up recently in notoriety mainly due to their involvement in timed-PvE. LaZy is huge and has put on 3 major party events (Ascalonian Ball, Oktoberfest, and Cinco de Mayo). We in LOD have notoriety as good PvErs, and recently being a guild of the month. I think all the guilds I've mentioned have been GotM some time.
I'm pretty much happy with my guild.
I was in LaZy for a short while, but the school that I went to blocked Vent, and I had to leave.
I'm pretty much happy with my guild.

dR is the most famous PvE guild because they have Divine, God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals - and a sexy trim now.
It's A Me
The guild im currently in isnt famous, but the alliance has awesome core players, none who are really well known as far as i know. I agree with xerox lol. I think DVDF and SMS and all those others are famous through here really, i know of quite a few people who havent heard of them. The only reason i dont think ive tried to join in SMS or DVDF so far is because every single time i went to apply my net cut out, in the end i gave up tbh lol. Maybe in the future ill get lucky

Only SMS actually qualifies for this. Maybe dR.

How exactly in your opinion does SMS and maybe dR only actually qualify for this for having 3 GWAMMs?

Titles and HoM are not indicators of a good PvE guild.

SMS has a wonderful level of taking neither itself nor this game seriously. That's what I meant for qualifying.

One of the first guilds to start serious HAin's as far as I know.
But basically the core is a bunch of friends or atleast peoples who know eachovers well and had exp running such guilds in other MMOs, again, as far as i know.
