Please don't waste all your energy reviving yourself. It's expected that all guildies revive each other in combat, before the use of energy to revive. We will often set guidelines depending on the Tier and Shadow Lair.

Before you solo, please ensure that there are no guild parties deployed or deploying that are within your Tier. We are a team and we will always support each other.

Please ask at the end or beginning of a mission for heat, we don't want to play 'revive' in the middle of a mission.

Die or leave battle so the team can move forward. You're always welcome to kick the GM JinnDukken if he is idle, since his GF will suddenly force him to do random requests that take his attention away.
