Welcome

Welcome to the official site of the Guild of Calamitous Intent (GoCI). We are a casual player guild that consists mostly of close personal friends of The Monarch or his trusted lieutenants, Elejna Alfevsson and Talin Venderben. While we do not actively recruit new players, we do offer spots in our roster for mature players that know how to work as a team and enjoy the game.

GoCI is focused on the campaigning side of Guild Wars with adventurers on both Tyria and Cathan. While we do not currently have a team for guild vs guild battles, with our alliance to the Luxons, we expect to be engaging in player vs player in the months ahead.

And yes, the name is inspired by The Venture Brothers. Go Team Venture!

~ Lord Hunk Ra a.k.a. The Monarch

Guild Wars Nightfall takes place on the continent of Elona, Land of the Golden Sun. It is a nation comprised of three great provinces; The island province of Istan is the home of a vibrant people who live among the monuments of an ancient empire. The military province of Kourna, under the command of its great leader, Warmarshal Varesh, hugs the shores of the mighty river Elon. And in the rugged lands to the north, the Princes of Vabbi rule from their opulent citadels. Elona is a land of wealth and power, protected by its champions, the Order of the Sunspears. In Guild Wars Nightfall, Elona has fallen under the shadow of an evil, outcast god. Against the encroaching desolation of an infernal realm, the people of Elona will need more than a hero to save them, they will need a hero to lead them. . .for nightfall is at hand.

New Guild Wars:Factions Storage Option

, Jul 2, 06 6:15 PM.

Looks like the fine folks at ArenaNet are giving players yet another reason to run out and buy Guild Wars:Factions.

Coming up sometime in the next few weeks, if you bought Factions and added it to your primary account (or if it is your only account) keep an eye out for a set of tabs available through your local Xunlai Agent storage vault. The first tab is the Items tab which is the regular storage we have all come to know and love. The new tab will be the Materials tab which will hold a stack of every crafting material in the game. There will be 34 spots total - one for every common and rare crafting material in the game. To avoid hording, each slot is reserved for a specific material - there is a slot for bone, another for wood, yet another for scales, etc.

A very welcome addition to many players I am sure. Read the FAQ on the new storage at the offical Guild Wars page: Guild Wars Storage FAQ

We've been pretty busy over the past week! Here's a list of some of the things that have either already gone live or are going live with today's code push:

28 new themes have been added!
A problem with the signature generator import galleries redirecting to the guild home page has been fixed, and the signature generator has had some neat new features added to it.
Importing a theme was automatically centering the banner, even if that was not how the theme was configured. This has been fixed.
Auto-forum posting of applications, where an admin had previously (at any point) checked the box to disable it, remained disabled and the box wouldn't show as checked when they went back, so they were unable to re-enable it. Those who were affected will need to go back into the Application Questions area of the control panel and re-enable it by un-checking the box.
Integrated rosters for DAOC have been updated to work with the new XML structure that Mythic is returning, and they have been updated to have all the features of the integrated rosters of newer games (client-side filtering, sorting, and an updated appearance).
When applying a theme, users have the option to send a quick "thank you" note to the author of the theme. If you like their work, let them know!
When sharing a theme, custom HTML for the left, right and center widgets will now also be exported as part of the theme, and applied to any site that imports the theme. Previously these elements were not applied, so only simpler themes could be shared to their full effect.
Custom CSS additions are also now copied when sharing a theme. Keep in mind these are just for the "CSS Additions" part of your total custom CSS configuration. Total CSS replacements are not copied. CSS Additions only add on to the existing output, they do not completely replace it.
If you have supplied custom images for your tabs, you now have the option to have them display even when using the "Side Nav" type of navigation. Click the "Display Tab Images Inside Side Nav" checkbox in the Control Panel, under Style Tools > Navigation Style (make sure you have Side Nav selected from the drop-down list at the top). This will display the images vertically (top to bottom). Full default/current/hover functionality is supported.
Many, many new sets of forum icons are available. You can get to them via Control Panel > Style Tools > Forum Icons. Select from the "Available Sets" drop-down box and click Preview to check them out!

As always, thanks for choosing GuildPortal!

Guild newsletters are now available! As a site admin, to enable and configure your newsletter, open the Control Panel and select Newsletter from the left menu. Users who wish to receive your newsletter will need to enable Guild Newsletters in their Characters/Settings page and be associate-level or higher in your guild. Moving forward, we might change this to being enabled by default, but for the moment we're making it opt-in to avoid "spamming" a whole lot of people at the beginning.

Some might have noticed a lot of ninja-enhancements going live over the past weeks:

When editing a page's properties (Control Panel > Pages & Content > select a page and then click the Page Properties tab), you now have the option to specify a hover image, in addition to the previously available default and selected images.
The Banner Builder (Control Panel > Style Tools) has an additional effect that you can apply to the text called "perspective." It renders the text at an angle (which you can also specify using the slider).
"Nav Bar Builder" and "Navigation Type" have been combined into "Navigation Style" (Control Panel > Style Tools). You can now select the type of navigation you want your site to use (Nav Bar, Side Nav or Standard Tabs) and the interface will show the appropriate options.
The Content Boxes (Widgets) styling options now allow for an icon to be shown in the header, without the need to provide custom HTML.
The Forum Specific style tools now use the updated gradient generator/guild storage image picker, so if you're using images you've uploaded through the file manager, you won't need to go back and forth, copying and pasting URLs. Many image fields throughout the Control Panel have been updated to use this tool.
You can now provide hover state images for the following forum icons: reply, quote, edit, and delete. In addition, pre-set forum icon themes are now importing all of the images they should. Check it out in the Control Panel, under Style Tools > Forum Icons.
The signature generator, available in Characters/Settings, has been cleaned up, had some effects and options added, and has been given some more images that you can import from the gallery. If you have any packs of thumbnail images or backgrounds that you'd like seen added for your game, please let us know!
The GPHelper add-on for World of Warcraft now imports bank items into more appropriate categories.
