Hi everyone,

It's been a while since we've let something hear about our IRL guild meetups, and we now quite often get a DM from someone asking if there's anything planned.

This thread is to gauge interest in a potential IRL guild meetup. We understand that since the whole pandemic, people might be less inclined to travel and meet a bunch of randos

Let us know how you think about it by participating in the following poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/w4nWrre6WyA

Here at PSDH Industries, we're always looking for new talent to strengthen our team. Below you will find a list of "job" positions for which we are looking people to fill them.

If you are interested in one of our listings below, or you want to get some more information, or perhaps there is something else you would like to do, please contact Mr_Dark on Discord or TeamSpeak to discuss.

Commander
Have you ever been alone at an in-game event which you wanted to complete and did not have enough people around you, so you tagged up and communicated this in map chat? Or joined another commander for a certain event and thought, "This dude doesn't know what he's doing, I can do this better"? Then becoming a PSDH commander might be for you!

PSDH runs a wide variety of events and we're always looking for more people to help us organize them. You'll be joining our commander ranks and help organize events which include;
* posting advertisement messages in guild and map chat
* tagging up so people can join your squad
* helping people understand the event and what needs to be done
* if the event requires it doing a (vocal) walkthrough

PSDH can offer you:
* a stable guild which has been around for 6+ years
* gateway to a lot of new friends (we have a real-life meetup every year)
* training for events you're not familiar with by one of our veteran commanders

We also offer trainee commander positions for those of you who want to command but have zero-experience. During your trainee time, our veteran commanders will teach you the ropes and make sure you feel comfortable commanding events.

Programmer and/or Designer (Website)
As you can see the PSDH website is not up to par with the latest 2019/2020 trends. Therefore PSDH is looking for one or multiple people who can re-vamp or re-build the PSDH website so it - once again - looks nice and shiny.

We have no preferred programming language in which the site should be built, but no Wordpress. I mean, c'mon. Hosting is done on our own server so there's no limit on what you can use. Once the new site is done we hope you stick around and maintain it

---

Programmer (Discord bot)
Besides our website Discord is being used more and more. In order to enhance our Discord server, we're looking for someone who wants to build a custom PSDH bot. Our current bot is very limited as it only posts today's event 30 minutes before the event start and supplies a countdown for when a new real-life meeting is coming up.

For the new bot we would like it to have some of the following features:
* At the beginning the week, post a list of all events for that week
* 30 Minutes before an event starts, post a reminder
* LFG system which can be used for events, dungeons, fractals, raids
* We'll probably think of some more additions later on

Hello PSDH. Today, I'm the bearer of sad news 

After being with PSDH for more than 4 years our beloved coordinator/leader Gemgenie has decided to leave PSDH. Reasons being personal (nothing critical) and unresolvable argument between us leaders.

We are sad to see Gem leave us as she always brought joy and fun whenever she was with us on Teamspeak. If it wasn't for her and Nova to decide to meet up in the UK (and a few others basically inviting themselves for the ride), we wouldn't have the real-life meetups we organize each year. For me personally, it'll be like missing a hand as she was always there whenever I wanted to talk or needed to have a different look on something.

I think I'll speak for everyone who has ever spoken to Gem or followed her around when she was commanding, that we wish her the best of luck to whatever adventure she chooses next and she'll always have a piece of the PSDH heart.

Wupwup out.

Hello PSDH!

Good news everyone, we have finally decided on where and when the 2019 PSDH meeting is going to be and opened up the registration! This year we’ll be going back to the lovely United Kingdom and will be staying Forrest Green, Surrey, which is located south-west of London.

Date: August 23, 24, 25 (bank holiday weekend for the UK people)
Where: Forest Green, Dorking, Surrey, UK

We have found a lovely accommodation which is called “The Mill”. It’s a large bunkhouse property which sleeps about 40 people spread over 7 bedrooms. The Mill is situated on the Surrey/West Sussex border. Originally a corn mill, the Mill has been converted over the years to accommodate 40 guests within the main building. The site has 10 acres of ground which comprises of meadow, wood, pond and stream, practically a nature reserve. The village pub, the Parrot, is 5 mins walk away, so for those of you who want to go out for a pint, this is possible, although it’s a small pub meaning they won’t be able to accommodate a large group.



Pricing
This year we’ll be offering “weekend-packages” which - we think - are reasonably priced. The reason we have chosen for this is so we can split the costs and keep the overall price low.

• Full weekend package - 70 euro - Including a place to sleep, food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) and drinks (soda, juice, beer wine) for the whole weekend
• Half package - 30 euro - You won’t be sleeping at the accommodation, but are joining us for food and drinks
• Day package - free - You’ll just join us for the day and take care of everything yourself

The accommodation has space for max 40 people, once these spots are taken we’re full and can’t take any more who want to stay over (unless you want to pitch up a tent). Spots are given on first come first serve base.

We will take care of the grocery shopping and make sure there are enough food and drinks for everyone. If you have any special requests please make them known and we can figure out if it fits our budget or if it’s something you’ll have to bring yourself.

Besides food and drinks, we will also organize some activities in which you can participate and perhaps win a prize If you have ideas for activities or maybe have a cool board game which you can bring, please do so!

Things you have to bring yourself

• Your happy face!
• Sleeping bag or bed linen. The accommodation offers to rent bed linen for 10 pounds per person.
• Hard liquor. We will only provide beer and wine, any other alcoholic drink you will have to bring yourself (for yourself or to share).

If you would like to bring a snack or food to share we would highly appreciate this. If we all bring something small it will add up really quick and we’ll probably have a bunch of different things to snack on during the weekend.

Activities
To be announced. We are still turning gears on what kind of activities we’d like to offer. Once we have more information we’ll let you know!
 
Signing up for the meetup
Done reading this wall of text, you’re still enthusiastic for the meetup and want to register? Click on the link below and fill up the form. Once you’ve submitted your registration we will review it and send you a confirmation email.

Because this year we will be pre-booking the accommodation we will require everyone who signs up to pay in advance. We know transferring money to someone unknown while the meetup is still months away can be a little daunting, but hopefully, we’ve built up some credibility over the years organizing these events. Still not a Nigerian prince who needs some cash to unlock their fortune

Saturday night we will leave summertime behind us and revert back to standard time. This means that from this Sunday [PSDH] will switch over to its winter schedule.

While we're at it we looked at the schedule and made some improvements (hopefully) to make events start are more reasonable times. A summary of the changes:

Monday
Instead of doing regular Shatterer first, we now do the new Death-Branded Shatterer as last

Wednesday
Amalgamated gemstone run, by quickly doing Verdant Brind, Tangled Depths and optionally Auric Basin

Saturday
Silverwastes or MoT/Bounties before regular Shatterer

Sunday
Nothing changes; TT and Guild Missions

For those of you who subscribe to our calendar, we have updated it with the new times, so you are automatically up-to-date.

Side note:
November 4th - after TT - we will head into Vabbi for the Serpents' Ire event. For information about this event and why you should join it, check out the event topic: https://psdh.eu/index.php?topic=2209

Upcoming Sunday it's that time of the year again. One hour less sleep, because the clock will be set forward one hour.

To accommodate this extra one hour time difference we have come up with a new event schedule. The new schedule starts Monday, March 26th.
Our calendar has been updated, so if you are subscribed to it the new events will automatically show up.

Monday
Shatterer
Bounties with possible Maw of Torment in between

Wednesday
Palawadan (Domain of Istan)
Dragon's Stand

Thursday
Events, Fractals, Dungeons, Achievements, etc.. You need something done and you want some help from the guild? Drop it into guild chat and perhaps you'll find some people who want to join.

Saturday
Tequatl
Tangled Depths
Auric Basin

Sunday
Taidha
Triple Trouble*
Guild Missions


* Triple Trouble Changes
For Triple Trouble we are going to introduce something new. Over time we have noticed fewer people joining Teamspeak and we have a hard time filling spots for husk killing (condi) and egg blocking (diboof). This has caused us to either fail the event due to people not correctly following the commander or we have to cancel because we just don't have the players to fill certain spots.

I do not want to remove Triple Trouble from our schedule because I believe it's one of the hardest and in my opinion, the most rewarding (not looking at loot) open world events. We have lots of people who joined PSDH because of TT and I want new players to also be able to experience it in a casual way.

1) Do not be afraid to step up for the condi or diboof role. They are easy to learn and we have some fabulous members who can help you.
2) BE ON TEAMSPEAK. Whether you have done this event once or a thousand time, join Teamspeak so you are able to listen to the commander (does not matter if you do not have a mic or do not want to talk... just listen)
3) We do not want to cancel TT right before it starts due to lack of condi or diboof. This is why we came up with sort of a pre-signup sheet in which you can put your name if you can condi or diboof on a certain date. The sheet is open for everyone, so please use with care.

That's it for now. If you have any questions or comments, please post them below. Don't forget that next week we also have an Eastern event coming up.

Hello PSDH!

Just before we celebrate the end of the year I’m here with a small hype about next years PSDH meet-up.

If you are a regular on the PSDH discord server you might have spotted me hinting about where we are going next year. For the next meet-up we’ll be going back into the city and this year's city will be… start drumroll…. Warsaw, Poland! Looking at the questionnaires people filled in after the last meetup, it seemed like the majority wanted to go to Poland for the next meetup. We looked at the options, crunched the numbers and the results showed us it is viable to do.

Now for the bad news.. Because we’ll be staying in the city it’s going to be harder for us to give you an all-in-one package like we had last meetup. Expect next the meet up to be a bit more expensive. However!, we are trying to come up with a nice package which will include stay in a hotel (+ breakfast) and Saturday dinner. More information on this later.

Unfortunately we can not yet give you a date. For now keep the weekends of September 2018 available.

That’s all for now. If you have any questions or ideas for things we should/need to do in Warsaw… let us know!

Hello!

After a lot of sweat, heated discussions and there may have been some blood involved, we have come up with the new schedule.

For this schedule our main focus was to have the Path of Fire events in there because we think people really want to do those (for now). Of course our main bread and butter are still there; Tequatl & Triple Trouble.

Main changes:
Monday: This is raid reset day and we have noticed a drop in active players. On Monday we now do some lightweight PoF events; bounties and Augury Rock
Tuesday: Normally we left this day open due for patch days. For now we have moved Tequatl and TT-Wurm to this day on non-patch days
Wednesday: The main PoF events in Desolation and Vabbi
Thursday: Over the last few weeks the participation on social night became less and less. For this schedule we have decided to leave the Thursday organisation to you! Want to do something? Hero Points, achievements, etc... drop it into guild chat and set something up
Friday: Nothing due to WvW reset
Saturday: Nothing changed here. Tequatl, Tiadha and TT-Wurm
Sunday: We'll now do guild missions first and then go TO VABBII for Serpents' Ire


After a couple of weeks we will revisit the schedule to see if we have to change event days or perhaps change out events for something else.

As always we enjoy getting your input on these things, so if you have ideas on how we can improve things, don't hesitate to let us know.

CHECKOUT THE NEW SCHEDULE!
