VEX is a community oriented guild who focuses on developing ourselves and our teamplay. We enjoy all aspects of the game however WvW is our priority. We hold daily raids, with the occasional fractal/dungeon for gear as well as weekly guild bounty for commendations. Some enjoy silverwastes for gold and others spvp. We enjoy theory crafting/strategizing, bad jokes, good music, and we’re all a little bananas. I don’t really put us in any specific category in regards to WvW/PVX as we play the game to have fun with our guildies and it doesn’t really matter what it is we’re doing. We are a small guild looking to grow in ranks and you can be assured that you will never just been a number here. We feel that building a strong community translates to being stronger individually and as a group on and off the battlefield. We have experienced leaders/officers as well as a knowledgable core player base to assist veteran and new players a like. With that being said, how do we approach WvW? We take more of an old school approach to WvW, where we look at sustain and the enjoyment of the fight over feeling like we need/want to one push every group solely to win. We work on coordination and communication daily, and do after fight assessments. Where we went wrong. What we did right, and how we can improve. We do not force guild builds though we do ask that you run group friendly builds that compliment what we are currently running. We will want to know what you’re running so we can help you tweak it a bit if we notice you having difficulty. That is not to say that we don’t have guild builds, we just don’t hardline people into running them, e.g if you’re more comfortable playing a support role (healway ele/tank guard or warrior) we won’t try to force you into a damage build.
What does VEX have to offer you that other guilds don’t have? For me the reason I stay and want to help lead these rabble rousers, is personality. We are a diverse bunch, more often if you pop into our channel in ts you’ll find us listening to music, joking around and laughing, poking fun at each other but never with malicious intent. Sometimes we sit and theory craft builds. It really just depends on what is going on at the time.
What is the average age of the VEX members? early 20’s to mid 30s. We don’t tolerate drama (we take this very seriously) and speak what is on our mind though that doesn’t mean everything on your mind.
What does VEX run nightly? We run between 5-15. If we have 5 we roam and do what we call looking for red, e.g. mostly look for fights or hit a tower or two to see if we can get people to come out to fight (though sometimes it ends up being the full map queue XD) or we may decide to do some spvp/fractal/dungeon/SW if we aren’t really finding fights. The 8-15 range we will also poke at towers/keeps to get fights, sometimes we may get an impromptu skrim invite. We try to defend where and if we can on home bl/ and in the eb 1/3 if we’re there but mostly we’re on the enemy bls.
Here at VEX we understand that people have lives outside of game. We don’t require 100% rep but we do ask that you make at the minimum reset + 2 days during the week. We also rely heavily on our guild website for communication, e.g. for attendance, calendar events, builds, etc.
What are your raid days/times? We raid Mon-Friday 7pm EDT – to about Midnight. This can fluctuate depending on attendance and how the run is going. Saturday is usually an off day we normally do a roaming party as well as the weekly guild bounty. Sunday is also an off day but we roam or run with public comm.
