***GUILD MEETING***

In this Guild meeting we covered the below news.

***UPDATE DELAYS***

I would like to apologize to everyone for not having updated our site and information sooner. But I am now able to begin regular updates again, and look forward to adding new information especially in the coming days.

and now on to some real news...

***DARKSIDERS RANKED #12 THIS WEEK!***

Well, the stats are up and we lost our position at 11th. It's okay. I expected as much, knowing this month would be messy with the allowance of lower level players.

Rest assured, that as of the 1st of October <Darksiders> will no longer be allowing new members below level 35. This will once again help to bolster our position and renew our ability to achieve a higher rank.

3 Things we are doing well with:

1 Activity

I am pleased to say that we are still among the most active guilds in this game and will continue to be so if we keep this up. Awesome job!

Tip:

Logging into your alts daily will help to maintain and improve this position.

2 PVE Kills

I am pleased to annouce that our Kill/Death Ratio is keeping us in a strong position. Good job guys!

Tip:

Keep trying to kill monsters in PVE a lot more than dying!!

3 Achievement Points.

I am please to say that in terms of our AP we are still competitive and it is helping to keep our rank low as well. Im glad to see we're helping each other out regularly!

Tip:

Help each other get achievements by helping each other with normal and elite bosses. Especially our newest members!

3 Things we can improve on:

1 AVG Account Age

Due to the fact that we have been spending this month recruiting a wider range of players this rank has suffered. Lower level players are more likely to be newer players. I'm all for new players, but this is an area of improvement all the same.

Tip:

Recruiters, take this upcoming month to search for player at level 36 so that we can better ensure that we get older players. and help this rank

2 TDM K/D Ratio

Our weakest stats have always been PVP. Largely on account of the fact that I do not pursue this endeavour myself, making it difficult to coach back to our officers in order to better assist our ranking. The officers and I will be discussing measures we can take to improve our performance.

Tip:

Best way to improve this stat is by Killing more than Dying in Team Death Match Battles - Twinking may be our salvation?

3 CTF K/D Ratio

Our weakest stats have always been PVP. Largely on account of the fact that I do not pursue this endeavour myself, making it difficult to coach back to our officers in order to better assist our ranking.The officers and I will be discussing measures we can take to improve our performance.

Tip:

Best way to improve this stat is by Killing more than Dying in Capture the Flag Matches - Twinking may be our salvation?

OVERVIEW:

I am still incredibly pleased that we are still so well ranked in this game and it shows signs that we are a strong and active group. Keep up the good habits and we'll prosper.

The officers and I will discuss new PVP initiatives to help improve and balance our rank. As always ideas are welcome. Feel free to email me via the website or leave your thoughts on our forum.

But most importantly, remember Rule#3. Have fun!!!

***RANKED #9 THIS WEEK***

As per Amythys' flow chart, we can see the areas in which we need to improve. At this time our main focus will be to obtain as much AP during the course of leveling as we can.

MAIN GOAL: Reach level 36!
SECONDARY GOAL: Get all your AP for the new bosses

Here's a rundown of this weeks stats (Courtesy of Amythys)

Let's work together to achieve our two new goals! Happy hunting!
