NOMADS
Board gaming on the 1st Thursday of the month @ 7:30PM Central (8:30 PM Eastern) #board-games
In Valheim, we’re planning a Wednesday Night Boss Fight on Wednesday, April 7 at 9:30PM EDT (8:30 Max Time). We’ll spend an hour trying to take down as many of the bosses in Valheim as we can.
WoW
Per the post in the WOW discord channel, there is an upcoming guild purge in WoW Alliance. Don’t forget to log into your toons to avoid being swept up in the spring cleaning. And, while you are logging into your account, make sure you acquire the charity pet “Bananas”! It’s not automatic, but all you have to go to your battlenet launcher to get Bananas!
WoW Classic
Just a reminder, Burning Crusade Classic is in beta, so if you’re interested and have access, take a look. We are still in discussions about what the AIE Guild and the greater alliance is going to do.
SWTOR
In AIE Swtor, our Friday night schedule has solidified into a repeatable order of events. We have a new addition to the lineup, which is Hard Mode Ops Training. It’s one night a month where Marcus will be teaching how to do mechanics in harder mode fights. If you ever wanted to learn how to take that step up from Story Mode Operations, this is for you. The first night will be April 9th at 9PM Eastern.
The repeating order of Friday night events is now:
1st-MM Flashpoints
2nd-HM Ops
3rd-Achievements
4th-MEGA
5th (if there is one) – Wildcard/Break
In Swtor news, the Public Test Server is up showing the new Flashpoint (Secrets of the Enclave) and the beginnings of an new reward system called Galactic Seasons.
Join us on Tuesday nights for MFN! No experience required. No gear required. Sometimes there is a level requirements. Check out BC’s post in Discord, usually on Tuesday afternoon, to see what we are doing that week.
FFXIV
Patch 5.5 Releases April 13th. This contains part 1 of the patch story, the new Diamond Weapon Trial, and the final chapter of the Nier Automata crossover, where we are heading into “The Tower at Paradigm’s Breach”. This patch will also close out the story of the Ishgardian Restoration.
Part 2 will come towards the end of May, and will have the the rest of the patch’s storyline as well as updates to Save the Queen storyline, where we will head into Zadnor to liberate Bozja from the 4th Legion and finish this expansion’s relic weapons.
The Digital Fanfest will take place on May 14th and 15th. All events will be streamed for free. Various FF4 pets will be available for purchase along with the game’s first 8 player mount, the Lunar Whale, on the same day the fanfest begins.
ESO
Cool things the guild has been doing:
• First there was pie for the Jester’s event and now the cake is no longer a lie during ESO’s 7 year Anniversary Jubilee event.
• Recent MFNs have been focused on maximizing the benefits of the experience boosts in effect during the in-game events by grouping up to run dungeons and slay dragons.
• There is normally at least one death caused by gravity due to Dankinia leading people off cliffs
Things planned or coming up for the guild:
• MFN’s will continue to be focused around the daily dungeons and dragon slaying to take advantage of the in-game event currently in progress.
Game or press release news:
• The Anniversary Jubilee event to celebrate ESO’s 7th anniversary started on April 1st and runs until April 13th at 10am EDT. After you help the chef bake a cake you get 3 event tickets once per day (per account) from using and eating the cake as well and 100% increase experience buff that can be refreshed every 2 hours.
• All of the games daily quests reward you with a Jubilee Gift box that can contain crafting mats, motif pages, furniture recipes, outfit style pages.
• The Blackwood Prologue questline is live for all platforms and anyone with access to the base game. Completing the quest and you will get a Daedric Unwarding Amulet memento as a keepsake
STO
STO is running their First Contact Day Event. It includes two TFOs; Synth Wave and First Contact Reenactment, and a patrol; One Night in Bozeman.
GW2/strong>
The next Dungeon and more night is April 9th from 9-11 eastern
LOTRO
For SNL we will be doing skirmishes and various group content to take advantage of VIP weekend from 4/8 – 4/12. On 4/17 we will be returning to the starter areas to do some deed runs as a group so that people can get some lotro points and virtue XP.
And with that, let’s talk about what we have been doing in and out of game- and Tet has a question of the show!
