Rankings, HotieSoulSeekers, Blak Wolf Legion, Recruiting Wave, 4th Administrator

Rankings have finally, FINALLY, been fixed.  WeTheProud has bumped up 5 ranks and currently stands at 33.
As we are now level 4, our member cap no longer has a limit of 300.  Therefore, recruiting will take place again, and alts will be allowed to be added in as well.


Do not be alarmed by the presence of the Guild leader, Rinfeim of Hotiesoulseekers and that of Blak Wolf Legion.  We are personal acquaintances so it is friendly treaty between us all.

As we are now in another Recruiting Wave, this time several procedures will be handled differently.  If you wish to volunteer or assist Zokku in this process, it will be immensely appreciated on his behalf of donating your time and effort.
-We will no longer be implementing a level gap, all levels are allowed.
-There will be gaps in those of who are active/inactive
-Old members who have declared their retirement from Vindictus will be kicked if cap is reached.

Along with this Recruiting Wave, we will be implementing a 4th Administrator to WeTheProud.
However, if several issues are not resolved, our temporary admin will instead, be made official.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL ISSUES OR MATTERS REGARDING THE GUILD/COMMUNITY, PLEASE REPORT YOUR CONCERNS TO THE GUILD EMAIL WETHEPROUDGUILD@YAHOO.COM OR LEAVE A MAILBOX IN-GAME MESSAGE TO ZOKKU.  YOUR ISSUE WILL BE SOLVED ASAP BY EMAIL, IN-GAME MAIL WILL BE DELAYED.

Quick Security Message

Recently, another member of WTP was hacked by the same infamous mule hacker, TTOOXX.
As TTOOXX operates by stealing data packets along with ID information, it is highly recommended
that users do NOT use login through the website of vindictus.
Instead, please check your computer often for any means of third party software or keyloggers.
Your FIREWALL does NOT protect you against these threats. That is not what firewalls are made for.

Please begin logging in through the .exe client found in your vindictus folder, C:/Nexon/Vindictus/...
Although this method has not proved to be fully secure, traces of previous victims by TTOOXX have stated that they used login through website.
And as you all know, Vindictus website does NOT use SSL, which is extremely dangerous for credit card payments and logins by all means.

Changing your pw will not abet the situation either.  Avoid logging in through website.

Alt. Slots re-opened *1 per*| No More Gold Trade| ESO Updated.

Hello fellow members of WTP!

First up, WeTheProud will now be re-opening Alternative Slots for Adding 1 Alternate Character to the guild.  As we are aware that many people have not been active for several reasons, (*cough* Nexon = No updates)
We would like members to enjoy the game in more "leisure" environment.

-All members allowed to add 1 alternate character to the guild.

Second, Nexon has finally announced the temporary (In Nexon, Temporary = Permanent trolol.)
halt of trading in-game gold for other players.  Their plan is to permanently eliminate any means of third party organizations from selling gold or for botters/hackers to follow the latter.

Third, WTP will not be conducting ESO this weekend (Sep. 23-25), for the reason that many members are unable to attend due to scheduling.  However, we have updated our videos on the youtube page, so check it out when you have time!

A New Banner?!? What is this?!?

Hello members of WeTheProud! It's been quite a while since there has been a formal news update so here it is!

*STOP! Before you read below, WeTheProud is in the middle of a Community Project known as ESO!  If you were instructed or are curious to find out about it please scroll down to the NEXT POST!"

Episode 9 has an unknown released date sometime next month.
The speculation lies in yielding as much NX as possible. Well we all know where this is heading.

Just to clear some confusion up!
-The Dragon 24 man-raid is not part of Episode 10!  It is in fact Part 2 of Episode 9!
-Episode 10 will implement a new feature by DevCat where AFK-ers/Leechers will no longer be rewarded in missions.
-WeTheProud does not currently have a dedicated Raid Schedule.  In the past, such did exist, however at this time many members have returned back to school/work due to the end of the summer season.
-Dark Crest Armor for Lann has been rumored to receive a CRIT buff.  Originally, the armor was planned to be known for level 65+, but due to KR players complaining, it was nerfed
-Ingkells Armor sets will no longer have a total of 75 CRIT Resist.  Instead it will drop to 40-50.
-Scroll prices will and HAVE dropped ridiculously due to botters.  For ex. Maelstrom is no longer worth 7mil, but is about 2.5.

In other news, Nexon reports with player issues,

Player Hot Issues - September Edition

Mercenaries!

 Here are your top 10 Hot Issues for the Month of September.

1.     Players would like the team to review the success 
chances on enhancing and enchanting items. Players feel
 the current success rate if far too low.
o    The team will review the chances and see if any
changes need to be made.
2.     Players would like the team to do something to reduce the
 lag and connection issues with Vindictus.
o    Over the past few months, the Vindictus team worked on
many projects to help reduce the lag and improve connectivity.
The Vindictus team will continue to look into ways to help reduce
 lag and connection issues. This is one of the top priorities on their list.
3.     Players are reporting hackers are still in the community. They 
would like the team to please get them banned as well as stop them
 from hacking accounts.
o    The team is very aware of this issue and find this as one if not
 most important priorities on their list. Please help us continue
 the fight against hackers and cheaters by reporting all suspicious activity.
4.     Some players join dungeons without participating and will
 receive the rewards at the end of the level.
o    As some players may have noticed, Devcat has already
started works on this particular issue with their upcoming
Episode 10 update. The Vindictus team is currently in talks
 hoping to bring this application to our client.
5.     Players would like the team to review other games like 
Dragon Nest and DFO and implement a secondary password PIN to Vindictus.
o    The Vindictus team has sent a proposal to the developers
 with this suggestion.
6.     Players would like the team to implement some kind of
 reward system for the Seals of Dedication. The current system
 is outdated and players are stocking too many Seals.
o    The Vindictus team is very aware of this issue and
are in talks with the developers.
7.     Players would like the Dev team to please rebalance 
the current character strengths. Some characters are far
 more easier and do more damage while some other
 characters damage to level of play are off.
o    Character balance is something the teams are
 definitely concerned with. The Vindictus team is currently
 brainstorming and working on balance issues so we can
 send a proposal to the Developers. Our team would
 also love to hear your hard thought out ideas.
8.     Players would like the Vindictus team to please review
 the changes to the durability change. They feel the
 current amount of repairing and fees are too taxing.
o    Our teams are constantly monitoring the economy
 and the affects of the recently introduced changes to
 the durability system. If there is a need to change the teams will consider it.
9.     Players currently cannot get the Bomb Master title
 and would like the team to please fix it as soon as possible.
o    The team would like to thank our players for bringing
 this issue to our attention. Our testers and developers
are working on a way to resolve this issue.
10.   Players would like the team to review the current 
drop rate of boss items. Players feel the current level of
 farming required to get some of the gear is unbalanced.
o    Just like the economy, our teams are constantly
monitoring the drop rates of items. If there needs
 to be any changes, the team will consider it.
The game is rumored to stop at episode 10.  However, there are plans for a new director to implement a Season 2.
Level 70 is the highest level in the game.  It stops there.
Level does not judge a person's stats.  A level 61 has the same stats as a level 70. (Theoretically without armor)

Hope this clears some confusion up!

Additionally, here are a few updates within the Community
-FORUMS ARE HERE!  However, progress is still in beta, but feel free to try it out.  Registration does NOT require that annoying activation by email.  Convenient eh?
-Scribblar no longer saves chat by clearing, lags, and is fortunately able to store as many pictures as possible
-ALL OF OUR ESO Runs have been posted on the YouTube Page, check it out!
