Guild Wars 2

.==== The Expedition [XP] ==

NA-EST | 21+ | Discord | Flexible Schedule Raiding Guild

Guild Rep is encouraged 100%, but not required. Guild interaction on Discord required! Those who consider us your “main guild” get raid priority those who are side-repping/dual guilding, but raid slots are often open for all.

We are trying to expand our raid roster to ensure we can raid 5-days a week and get more boss-time for everybody. We also want to get new members integrated into our team before Wing 2 drops so we can hit progression at a reasonable place for everybody’s varying schedules.

CURRENT RAID NEEDS
Raid Times 9p-11p
—-[ Roster Needs ]—-

Mon = LOW

Tues = HIGH

Wed = LOW

Thu = MED

Fri = HIGH

—-[ Team Comp Needs ]—-

DPS/Raid Buffers: HIGH

DPS/Threat Tanks: LOW

DPS/Heal Support: HIGH

Special Mechanics: MED

We have enough support players for our current team size right now to raid 3 nights a week consistently, but would like to relieve some of our main support players once we get to raiding 5 nights a week.

Please visit our website http://theexpedition.proboards.com for more detailed information on our raid system.

.[XP] is just another medium-sized raiding guild; however, we do structure ourselves a bit uniquely than some others:

————————- “You Choose When You Can Raid!” —-———————
We offer a place for our raiders to progress in GW2 raiding with no strict schedule commitments though our Flexible Raiding structure. You sign up when you are available, and our Raid Leads will build 10-man teams ahead of time to let you know when you actually are expected to raid. Thus, if you need an “off night”, just let us know, and we will respect your decision to sit out. This allows our members to maintain a healthy balance between gaming and Real Life responsibilities without hindering team progression. This does require commitment to showing up for times you DO sign up for, with the proper gear, food, and strategy research, even if you are a sub for that night.

—— Traditional “Main Class” Approach + Unconventional Team Builds —--
We require all raid members to stick to one “main DPS class” with up to one optional “alt” to fill a support role. We also do not restrict people on which class is their “main”. Since we are focused on flexible schedule, we don’t have the freedom to pick and choose our classes for a “meta” team comp every night. Thus we often run non-meta team comps based on what the current roster’s strengths and abilities, which does leave less room for error than running typical meta comps. Though we get the job done and bosses killed, things like reaction time, awareness, communication, and patience through multiple wipes to find our “sweet” spot with our rotating team are absolutely required each night.

————————- Social Gaming Community —-———————
In addition to raiding in Guild War 2, [XP] members have interests in other games as well. We rely heavily on Discord interaction to continue to build our community, both inside GW2 or through other activities of common interest. We have started a list of games that people may want to connect and play together between raid times. In the end, the guild is about building a relationship of friends using raiding as our first area of common interest.

We invite on an application process. Essentially, create a forum account, fill the application, and start talking with us. We will talk with you about your schedule and what class you determine as your “main”. Otherwise, we will throw you in the next available raid and just see how you mesh with the rest of the team. After that, relax, have fun, and socialize!

Learn more about the guild, the raiding structure, and the application process in the Information & Recruitment forums.

Please contact Rivendusk (Rexivus.3794) or Sharpes (Sharpe.4051) on our forums or in-game for any further questions.

We are still recruiting for more Tuesday/Thursday availability. Raid Wing 2 drops March 8, and we are ready to explore/figure out the new encounters!
