Hi all!

So I've been playing for a bit (Hardcore...'cause I ain't scared!).

I see lot a of people seem to be friendly and generally help each other. Can someone explain why being in a guild is better (or worse) for a casual player like me?

I usually play as I have time at work or home but usually can't chat much and I have no idea how Discord actually works.

Thanks and happy slashing.

More guild points = bigger e-peen

Other than that though, the social aspect of being in a guild and you can transfer items between accounts using the guild vault.

Some guilds used to pay for guild points years ago but I don't know if any are still doing it today

As said above by SCXiao, it tracks your GPs which is nice, it also provides the guild you join with GPs, which has some value. More likely to get help with gear, especially early mutables from a guild seeing guildies can vault them. guildies are generally slightly more likely to sell you stuff.
HC has a good variety to choose from, although not necessarily all the guilds will accept. EE for example is mostly invite only. A few may show interest.



phone or computer player? if you're on computer discord is very simple to have in the background. On phone it's slightly more annoying, but still useful to request assistance with sneaky.
If you have any interest in faster climbs of 5 man whistling from 1 to MQ, discord is generally where we organise it. Although on hardcore, just keeping an eye out for level 1 groups may also do it

That is a lot useful...thank you for that! I generally play PC but usually only have a few minutes at a time to play or chat. Generally, I kill a few mobs then I am away for at least an hour before I come back. Solo seems to work well for that.

it don't matter

Be a good idea to join one.

Guild members are helping each other and having fun together, that's the most important thing imo.

Yup, I recommend joining a guild. They're always there to help. Especially helpful when starting out.

Agreed. I've been in a few guilds over the years and have great memories from all of my time in those guilds.

Glad to see you playing HC There are a few active guilds in HC. There is no downfall I can see for not joining a guild.

A few of us are hoarders and are waiting for new HC slashers to help. I'm older than most and I too didnt want to learn Discord.

I PC and I will admit that Discord has increased my enjoyment of LS. I dont post much on Discord but its uses are worth it.

LMK if you have any other questions and best of luck to you on your HC journey.

Guilds are very helpful and a fun community for ladder slasher.
Unless the guild leader only knows d4. Then it's like the blind leading the blind
