[NA] - EP- Crush It! (Skilled pve VR/Trials focus)

Axer

Crush it is a group of highly skilled players that play hard to crush the most challenging pve content, especially the trials. We will do pvp nights too tho it isn't the focus, so we have allied with some larger guilds for that.

The main focus will be crushing the trials currently, and soon the crypt of hearts veteran dungeon. We try to run the trial every single night to learn them and get as much experience in as we can. Though ideally the main focus will be scheduled runs Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 7PM EST.

Since the trials are still new, and we are still learning and trying to get a solid team on scheduled runs to get completions in, we will be running them most every night, if there is enough interest.

The guild will remain small and focused, so as to allow most of us to go on the craglorn trial together when it comes out. Currently aiming at around 35-48 active, v12 players.

So yea we are fairly hardcore when it comes to playing hard and winning, but playing 24/7 isn't required, nor being online at all really. We have lots of gamers with very active real lives so often people won't make some of the raids. That's perfectly fine with us as long as you make an effort. Play when you want, but play with us and crush it.

You're interest should be aimed at the hardest content, the trials. You should want to play with us as much as often in them to attempt to do well.

So some expectation of making some raids is here, but not a lot. 25% attendance is acceptable, but you should strive for more if you can fit them in.

Currently we are the third guild in EP-NA to complete the Aetherian Archives trial, and 2nd to complete hel ra. And we managed it with a VR5 and VR7 in the group, really only 4 members were actually capped. Our ability to adapt and clench victory even in the direst of circumstances should put us up as one of the top guilds with a shot at server first for the next trial released, and best times.

Only hard rule is to come on raids, during scheduled raid nights - if your online. They currently are: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 7PM EST. (PvP Night is sunday, and we do quite well at pvp, tho it is not the guilds focus, thus optional)

If your new to the guild, and have little experience in the trials, you should try to come every night to learn them. Off nights won't have our best players, might have to pug some slots, but the experience you get will still be vital.

Currently seeking:
DPS:
-Dragonknights: Uber DPS awesome dragonkights. Preferably 100% magicka spec'd with Destro staff leveld, but any weapon is ok long as your skill and dps spec'd. Tank spec's DK willing to convert will also be taken, we have an incredible amount of gold and other resources, we can easily get you outfitted correctly for dps with a fast respec and our crafters help.

Sorcerer: Uber DPS sorcerers. You will be expected to be flexible, and max out both destruction and restoration staff. The trial demands both.

Templar: Healer only, and V10+. We have many top skilled templar healers in the guild, though some can't always make the raid times, so there are room for more.

NB: Healer with Veil of Blades and a good attitude. DPS perhaps if you can solo the reapers march storm atronach.

Requirements:
-Ebonheart Pact - NA Server
-VR8+ (and leveling fast enough to be VR12 in a reasonable time - we can help you do that)
-Have mumble installed and a mic (I have a server for the guild)
-Never give up attitude. Willing to devote 2 hours to trials on scheduled runs. And at least 1 hour to dungeons/non scheduled trials here and there.
-Consider yourself a skilled gamer with a strong build.
-Ingame tryout.

/tell Axer to tryout. I'm on a lot, tho can't guarantee any kind of speed in getting you in a run to try, but I will try.

If I were to join and run with you, do I have to give you the Axer package?

Y'know, a bit of haste, a bit of blur, a bit of rage, some elemental resists...

Axer

Ofcourse. Though it seems only DKs get nice buffs in this game, so hope your a DK!

Update on the guilds progress:
26 members, all highly skilled great players.

We complete the hardest tier 2 VR dungeons with a 100% sucess rate and at a very fast rate.
Records are around 7 minutes for wayrest - with only skipping 1 optional mini boss (skeleton).
- About 12min for Elden hollow - which is imo the hardest one to do fast with no deaths or mistakes. We also only skip 1 opitional boss here (blue winged chick). With full skips im sure a sub 5min run is possible.
- Darkshade we generally don't go for speed as we don't run it a lot (Nerfed loot and longer duration makes it less worth while). But suffice to say we are quite good at it also, completed it undaunted first try.

All speed/Undaunted dungeon achievements completed multiple times. Undaunted elden being one of the hardest we can manage first try with most group setups.

We also have some extremely successfull pvp'ers with millions of alliance points, tho that isn't the guilds focus. We do pvp nights every saturday for fun, not super competitive, but we do well and are winning our campaign - which is imo the most populated one with full locks across the board every sat. (Wabbajack)

So yea, if your a badass DPS DK and want in a group like this that will dominate Craglorn, shoot me a tell and try out. Still want a few more.

Axer

Update:
Currently doing extremely well in the trials.
Aetherian Archive would of been completed by us already except our many of our top dps members were not available this weekend due to RL issues. Our healers and tanks easily handle everything the trial throws at us with no deahts, we simply cant complete the DPS check yet due to lack of DPS players (especially DKs).

So if your a DPS DK and want to be part of one of the top leaderboard times (or really only other group in EP to even complete at this time).. Send me a message. I will make it happen tonight or tommorow.

Axer

Update:
Aetherian Archives complete.
And with a VR5 and VR7 in the group. (VR5s first night running it). All guild except we also took a pug healer on this particular attempt.

We appear to be the third EP-NA guild to complete it.

Not the best time as we pulled it off on our first mage attempt, and had a lot of deaths due to not knowing the mechanics. Though imo thats a true display of player skill, to down a boss first attempt with no previous experience, even with a few deaths.

Axer

Update:
Trials are going well and still room for 1 or 2 more Templar healers, several more sorcs, and tons of DK.

nillllll

Axer

Update:
Got several more recruits. Lots of highly skilled players joining the ranks.

Available for more recruit tryouts today. Want some more dps and maybe 1 healer for tomorrows trial.

Axer

Update:
We're on the Archives weekly top 100 groups. #16.

Can recruit a few more, but the tryout tests may become more brutal

Axer

Update:
Posted a 32min completion on archives.
Actual time: 22 min, 2 deaths for 10min penalty.
Very close to a 0 death completion.

Hell Ra: On final boss, had him to 15%. Working on that tonight.

Fifield

I see you only want VR 10+ healers...

I am only a VR3 healer, I have played mmo's for 14 years now, very skilled healer in pvp or pve. I mostly pvp which is why im not leveling very fast but i still want to enjoy the pve content.

I started out ESO with 10 RL friends and had plans to be with them, Sadly all but 2 quit so looking for a home.

If you end up needing a healer hit me up, kelogen@hotmail.com or on the forums here

Axer

Update:

0 Death Archives complete. (Not the best time, we were destroyed by stupid bugs: Desyncs, disconnects, crashes, etc.. blergh)

Hell Ra complete: Fastest time for our server (EP-NA):
Vanity shot
Party Setup
UI

7 death. AD are still kicking our ass, but we will get there. Just need more members and more experience. This was a fairly early attempt at the warrior, first time for at least one.

Axer

re: Fifield

Message me ingame. Sould be on tomorrow early, around 2-7 pm est.

Can't guarantee anything, we already have a lot of very skilled templar healers, but we can chat.

Axer

Update:

We now reliably complete hell ra 100% during scheduled raid nights. 15+ completions.

We continue to improve our AA time nearly every night. Somewhere in the top 25 last I checked. Best runs are around 12-13 min so far, tho not without 1-2 deaths yet (generally due to bugs like that annoying desync/dc/crashes it constantly causes us).

We also now do silly stuff for fun since we have become very experienced in these, like 8 manning the mage (7 man'd the burn phase), and drunken raid nights.

Guild is now large enough to reliably fill our raids on scheduled nights, so recruitment will become more limited, and the try out tests more difficult. Please post here or send me a PM if interested and feel you can help us continue to improve our leaderboard standings. As always I can't guarantee any type of fast response times, me and my main officers are generally pretty busy running trials, tho early in the day 2-6pm I'm sometimes on for tryouts.

saw you guys rising up on the times still recruiting?

Yep message me ingame, should be on shortly after the servers come up.

Axer

Update:
Still improving our time (better hel ra time last night during drunk raid night).
Scheduled raid nights are always fun, reliable 100% guild completions and tons of loots. Off nights we still occasionally have to pug spots.

Tons in the guild now have full aether sets, yokeda, etc. All geared out, now it's just a matter of trying to perfect runs to avoid deaths to get higher on the leaderboard.

Recruitment is now essentially now 99% closed. But if you feel you are top 1% of players, you can still try, message me in game. Mainly after very versatile players, who can off-tank, dps very well and heal too.

Laura

These guys seem nice and seem to know what they are doing.

Axer

Update:
Still improving our times often. We did a no-rez hel ra last night:


That's the #1 time for our server (EP), faster then every DC time also.
#3 overall guild in the world - just two AD guilds ahead (one AD having 2 seperate completions faster). Tough to compete with atm given the fact we can barely maintain an emperor, and have significantly lower population, but we'll keep trying.

(not to mention how many templars we had lol.. iso more DK/Sors that can crush hel ra)

Axer

Update:
The guilds stronger then ever, and still improving.
Last night we did our first 100% flawless zero death Hel Ra.

Full shot of team, rez counter and my lifetime stats since vr5:

That same run was also the #1 weekly time (and best non-ad time worldwide):


With hard modes for trials coming soon, now is the best time to sign up for the top active raiding guild on EP. If you feel like your a great player, come try out. Maxxed gear isnt' required, just good player skills, good attitude and some veteran ranks

Axer

Update:

Tonight we broke the world record time for AA.

Had it for a short time anyways, and AD group beat it in by a mere 10 seconds later in the night, I saw some members of Alacrity in it, so maybe them, not sure. Either way.. Still hold the 2nd time and first place for our server again:


Though my time in ESO is/has come to end, I handed over leadership to Rashkosh, and the crew is still going extremely strong as you can see from our times.

So for recruitment purposes, you'll need to message him instead of me now. Some of the guilds rules have shifted as well under Rashkosh's leadership, though our focus of being the best of the best pve guild has not changed.

I probably check out hard modes tomorrow, but yea I've felt like we did all there was to do in ESO, so my story here has ended.. 3 days left on the sub.

Crush it will continue in ESO without me, and it will return yet again in a future mmo. (PM me for details of the next big one, as previous mmos ive mentioned this in the mods never liked me mentioning other games)

So yea I'm proud of what the guild has accomplished and wish us the best in the future.

Crush it!
