Individual Proficiency Ranks
We honor the ranks of the Anti-Xeno Initiative with regards to individual combat experience and progression.
Display your solo progression
All Ranks on the Progression-Path are recognized. There are 3 important Milestones we value significantly,
they can be self-selected at any time via the Channels & Roles Menu at the top of our Discord:
- Apollos Wrath – First proper solo Kill (Solo Cyclops)
- Collector – Seen them all, done them all (Solo Cyclops, Basilisk and Medusa. Duo Hydra)
- Decent Pilot – AX Combat Mastery (AXI Progression and Challenge completion)
This self-select is honor based and for display only. Pick the Rank that matches your AX progression and you have proof of. The biggest practical use is so Operation-planners can use it beside your Promotion Rank to plan Teams.
During a Promotionprocess the Bot will check the solo Rank you have on the AXI Server itself, or ask you to provide equal proof if required.
Duty Status Roles
Select your notification-level
We have three duty status roles, which can be self-selected and changed at any time via the Channels & Roles Menu at the top of our Discord:
- Active Duty: “Ping, and I shall answer the call whenever I can”
- Reserve Duty: “Keep me posted, but don’t bugger me too much”
- Honorably Discharged: “I’ve uninstalled, don’t bother me about in-game events”
