Extra Crispy of Area 52-US(Horde) is always looking for good raiders.
The guild raided on Ysera during The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. We took a break during Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria from raiding. Eventually we reformed on Arthas from the beginning of Warlords of Draenor until March 2018 when we moved the entire guild to Area 52.
The basics:
Tuesday is optional (non-progression) where we generally do heroic runs, but occasionally achievements or farm old content.
8-11 p.m. US EST/EDT (server time) Monday/Wednesday/Thursday. This is progression and we expect 85% attendance so we can keep the group as small as possible.
Historically we raided progressively only Wednesdays and Thursdays, but expanded to Mondays in Battle for Azeroth.
This guild’s niche is older raiders with jobs, children, and responsibilities that prevent them from playing as much as they did 5-15 years ago.
We require everyone to complete at least one Mythic+18 weekly great vault reward, but we understand sometimes it won’t happen. We encourage people to run four or eight especially at the beginning of each new raid.
We try to be respectful of other people’s time. We start on time. At 8:00 p.m. everyone is at the raid entrance ready. Double potion use for progression and farm content. 100% flask buff time. (We drop cauldrons every hour.) We average 45 to 75 seconds wipe recovery depending on travel time and whether our warlocks soulstoned a healer for faster recovery. We take a 4-5 minute break every hour to hour and a half. We end on time or a few minutes early/late (which is usually 1-5 minutes either way). Achieving time efficiency requires players to research encounters beforehand.
Trial periods last however long we feel like. It will not exceed a couple of weeks if the player is good. Consumables are provided by the guild even for trial members.
Our current progression and recruitment is:
8/9M for Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (we’re at first intermission on M Fyrakk)
9/9M Cutting Edge for Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
8/8M Cutting Edge for Vault of the Incarnates
11/11M Cutting Edge for Sepulcher of the First Ones
10/10M Cutting Edge for Sanctum of Domination
10/10M Cutting Edge for Castle Nathria
12/12M Cutting Edge for Ny’alotha the Waking City
8/8M Cutting Edge for The Eternal Palace
2/2M for Crucible of Storms
9/9M Cutting Edge for Battle for Dazar’alor
8/8M Cutting Edge for Uldir
We could use a Hunter that do both ranged specs long-term. Any other especially skilled players are welcome to talk to us.
If you’re in a lower progressed guild and you’re one of the best players in it and looking for a more challenging time talk to us.
Guild philosophies:
1: Success doesn’t have to mean spending your entire life in the game.
2: EC is not meant to be a world/server-first guild (although we do love putting salt in wounds.)
3: We’re adults. We use adult language. Some adult language is offensive yet we still use it.
4: We believe a small, reliable team of adaptable players is preferable to a large group.
