Unity3d is such a smooth engine for indie developers. very lag free, very open atmosphere and its free.
oh....you mean....some guy named Unity....
nope dont know much about Unity. they should get more popular.

i thought this was a discussion about engines. but then i read it all completely and it was a guild. i still put my thoughts down cuz i really have nothing to say about Unity. i see a few in AH and thats all.

I doubt you'll get serious answers. But to me unity is pretty prestigious like a person sees, oh that person is from unity, he must be good! I wanted to be in it but fell in love with mine, never attempted soloing vanaduke either, one of the requirements..

Been in Unity for....like what, 3-4 months? Way too much drama (vok, you know what im talking about).

I always thought of Unity as a very powerful PvE guild. Though not so much in PvP.

I also heard Unity has been falling in the past few months?

My opinion on Unity?

[The Honey Badger video is indeed hilarious, but it contains words we don't use on these forums. Link removed.]

Ahh, Unity. a guild i used to see as "home." I remember, it used to have all the big names in this game, like Rommil, Pawn, Jade-Rabbit, or even, Cootiecakes. We prospered as one, farmed vanaduke, and struggled at lockdown, and darn well took pride in it. I would be in haven and be proud that was written under my name. but now, whenever i see under someones name, i laugh to myself. Honestly, Vokster, it all went downhill. Heron is inactive, along with Ish and blanky. Cootie left, Rommil and Pawn are gone, and 4 of the most talkative officers are in eos (manifest destiny), and it seems like you guys are still doing fine, but admit it, its not the same. i miss the old days, when we had like 70% control over the ce market and auction house.

Unity?
Hah!
More like anyhting but!

Unity was a nice guild to be in. It was fun chilling with people that I friended before I got into the guild and with new people I haven't had much contact with. You guys are pretty much RoC #2 in my perspective, except the fact that RoC is filled with people from EU. RoC will always be my number 1 guild in every way. No other guild can compete with them (in my view). Nevertheless, Unity is a fun outgoing guild. I feel sad for the famous people in Unity that left the guild or left the game, but you guys are still thriving and thats always good to see.

What makes a guild a good guild?
I believe a good guild is a guild with good qualities, such as being welcome, talkative, joking around, etc. I also think a good guild can grab some of the younger/inexperienced SK players and help them rank up, become more skilled, and in the end have them fight with your guild in Guild LD. But that takes a lot of effort, which is hard to do anyways.

Do I smell like roses?
No Vok, you smell like cake.

Unity was a lot cooler when Cootie was in it, but overall it's not bad

@Zade aww, RoC buddies forever :3

I don't know anyone in there so don't really have an opinion on it.

I like Unity, he's a pretty swell dude.

I just wanted to let you all know that Unity is an amazing guild. It may appear to be "crumbling" to some because our officer and GM positions change more than a lot of guilds. But this is more because we are all care-takers of our guild. When we the top ranks become inactive, as has happened from time to time, we step in favor of a more worthy leader. A delinquent leader is no leader at all.

Like when i stepped down from my GM position in favor of Hollafamer. While I was sad to leave my post, it was for the good of the guild. I loved considering myself the Mascot of Unity :P

I'd also like to state, although i think most already know this, but leaving Unity was is in no way meant to be seen as a negative reflection on the guild. If i ever come back as an active member and player of SK, i'll take up ranks back in Unity (assuming there are at least a few familiar faces left in the "Management" levels.)

[Gannon, i'm sorry your end experience was so negative upon departure. There was a lot of drama, and drama-makers, and you didn't deserve to get sucked into all that. Regardless of what you may have said or not said in private to anyone. Some people crossed the line of good-fellowship and common decency, and lost sight of the fact this is a silly game, meant for the sole purpose of fun. They took it to a personal level that they shouldn't have. And you and vexon were the collateral damage. But please don't let that one interaction color your inevitable memory of Unity. Lets remember the great times. And be happy that we maintained our friendship even after you left the guild :-]

Coots, lets not be like that :(
your time in unity was great and well-spent. Attrition is natural in every walk of life, but please don't say that your time in unity wasn't enjoyed to the fullest.

But yeah, back on topic, Unity is a guild with a great balance of mature players, friendly players, silly players, and helpful players. It was certainly a family atmosphere, and one i'd recommend for anyone 5* who wants to enrich their playing experience.

Well I was one of the many old Active members who migrated over to Unity when Active's GM had a case of innovation? and kicked everyone. Though seeing Holla is GM of Unity now I feel like it's kind of gone in a circle. I don't have anything against Holla he's super sexy and hot but it's kind of a wait a second... didn't we... and then... déjà vu.

Honestly I enjoyed my time in Unity. I had fun, laughed, goofed off, etc. I stood in haven and took pride in the name. It felt like my family/forever home. Working our butts off trying to be the best at LD but that didn't really work out but it was still fun. Well lots of fun but I guess the drama started to get to me, some first world problems, and overflow of test runs burned me out in my last month or two of being in the guild. It was a good time to retire I guess. I honestly felt horrible when 2 of the other officers and a few members agreed to follow me but i'm glad they did so I wasn't alone. I was happy to see the guild was still able to pull though after what I felt was some major damage to the guilds core. Though I doubt I am favored among most of the Unity members. Probably no longer welcomed back.(disagreements w/ there mascots?) But I found my new forever home in EoS and hopefully it will stay like that until I slowly fade away from SK.

I agree w/ Rom that Unity's strong point is that leaders can step down and be replaced by new ones. That is probably what kept me motivated to aim for the top b/c i knew it was possible. Though it is kind of painful watching Unity lose Cootiecakes and things just won't be the same.

Anyways today would i recommend the guild to someone? Yes and No. Yes, if you're looking for a heavy PvE guild and/or like large guilds. No if you don't like large guilds and/or are looking more for PvP.

Cootie has spread all over the SK WORLD =0 we must stop her!!

Rommil: I'm not "Cootiefakes", I think that's Ganondorf's fake "me", although I honestly can't say I disagree with him.

I still feel like I've wasted my time in Unity but that's both due to the game itself and also a minority of people in the guild.

It has been a month since what made me leave and I still haven't changed my mind about what I would do if i ever came back.

Also, maintaining a top guild when there hasn't been any worthy gameplay content for months and months just felt so pointless to me; it's hard not to be frustrated by that.

Anyway, I still believe that most of the players in Unity are great and I'm happy to see that Vok kept everything running nicely. Everything looked fine to me when I left but the new officers' decision to get rid of the "Solo Vana requirement" really was what needed to be done to keep the guild strong and healthy.

Hopefully the new Guildhall update might make things even a bit easier. And with some luck the next update might be a decent one with a real new boss with token item rewards.

PS to Nj: I don't think anyone would argue with you, you pretty much summarized it. And the guild name didn't come from me, go drown somewhere xD

I think unity is full of sharp guys and respectable players within PvE, a personal favorite of mine. I'm not a PvP person either, so i know the feel. I dont judge guilds mostly, so i don't do this often. I was in Unity for a while but it was around the drama and i left since i didn't feel welcome nor di it feel like i was welcomed to the family. In its prime, it was one of the best guilds out there, but after that detrimental blow, its dwindled down to a reminder of what was and brave torch holders within the guild show the proud spirit of the original Unity.

What makes a guild a good guild?
That's simple, make it a family, not a collection of the best PvP/PvE players or people who just wanted to be in a guild. I've been in here since beta and i still hold onto that idea of a family. Some may disagree when i say this, but Guild was my favorite guild by far. It felt like a family from the time i joined in beta, my rejoining after my hiatus, and to its demise. Even in drama we didn't lash it out on others, we kept it between the one we quarreled with and ourself.
TL;DR: be a family and keep issues between you and the one you have it with. I left Unity because i wasn't welcomed due to it and didn't feel like a family.

I know my stay was short, and it was during the drama saga, but I do wish I could have been in there when it thrived.

I think to judge a guild as a whole is rather silly unless it's to take each member into account individually. I am in Echo of Silence as an officer but can only do so much to influence. I can kick people when they don't fit into the guild's profile, as set up by the founding GM's, but I can't control members' actions. So to say "members of Unity are jerks" (I actually don't know most in it well enough to form an opinion) is quite ignorant and causes me to judge negatively that individual saying it. As long as those in the guild are happy with it, then that's all you really need. Others' opinions don't matter much in the world of SK, as image does in real life.
Small side thought; Njthug is a GM of EoS but for some reason his actions get lumped together with the whole guild's personality. His actions do not define me so I find it quite annoying that people seem to think so.
Though I do think that the strength of the leadership of a guild, as a whole, sets the tone for all others in it, it is not the whole picture. End rant.

VOKSTER IS BEST SPIRAL KNIGHT

First, why so many people who made so much noise about leaving are still posting actively (like on every darn thread I had to read to catch up) on the forums.

Secondly, I don't know this guild, nor do you know me, but why would you care for what people think anyway? It's just a game, why so serious? And when I hear about dramas in guilds, I just laugh, is this "The Young and the Restless" now? I sure have missed something because I'm pretty sure this was a really funny, childish and unserious game with almost no roles for guilds whatsoever, so why would you even have a fight on it?

Just my two cents of the month.

Ashley, while having a very modest name, has a valid point. The last time I gave a %*#@ about guild issues of any kind was before I joined EoS, and this game is a barrel of fun now that I just don't hold guilds in high regards in general. They're the equivalent of having a pillow fort with a "n0 gurlz all0w3d" sign hanging on the outside wall.
