Welcome to episode #439 of the podcast celebrating you, the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Mewkow: To my left is Mkallah: – (listen, there is a wedding shower and a witch’s tea next saturday, I am gonna need everyone to not snack on random sweets in the guild kitchen, you can have the left overs). And to my right is Tetsemi: (catch phrase here). This week we are talking to ourselves.
Just a note, please keep AIE’s Kramer in your thoughts. He will be out of the games indefinitely due to a stroke on the evening of October 5th. Right now he is in a long-term acute care hospital and the last thing we heard is that he is making small improvements.
Ok, we’ll be digging into what we have been up to shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news…

NOMADS
Fun times with a group in 7 Days To Die on a private server. We may pick up another survival game in the future too. Stay tuned and check in Nomads if you want to jump in.
New World’s Nighthaven update is live giving us a new zone, skill tree revamp, Catacombs, and log in queues! Come check us out in the fresh start server Hudsonland and say hi in the New World channel under nomads.
(note that Hudsonland is currently locked though so you’d have to wait until it is unlocked if you haven’t logged in there in the last 180 days)
WoW
Noob Raid got its first full clear on Manaforge, and yes Dankinia was there for it.
Remix is going great, it’s a legion revisit, and all the things we hated about Legion are still there. The best thing is you can now fly from the get go, which makes ancient mana farming much easier.
WoW Classic
Classic is good, not many people are online at this time and there is always room for more.
SWTOR
We are looking forward to update 7.8, which is going to include a unique style of Dynamic Encounter called the Wreckage of Dantooine. A ship with powerful technology is going to crash land on Dantooine, spilling out its cargo of basically terraforming bacteria and substances along with the droids to make it all happen. This will create burgeoning biomes that will start to push out the native farming land of peaceful Dantooine. Players will have the opportunity to enter the biomes and push them back by doing various activities to make a central boss accessible. We are hoping this form of Dynamic Encounter is guild friendly, meaning that everyone in a raid group will get credit as we work toward the goals. Fingers crossed! 7.8 does not have a date yet, but it should be on the test servers soon.
ESO
The guild has been working on endeavors and in game events.
FFXIV
Kelseer is going back to any level map nights, and the Halloween seasonal event is going on right now until Nov 4 with a new mount. The next Live Letter is set for 10/31 at 7am EST/ 4am PST, where they’ll be discussing 7.4 (the beginning of the set up for 8.0!)
STO
This week, we’re finishing up the Delta Quadrant story line by running Nikodas’ favorite mission! Tune at 10pm Eastern only on http://twitch.tv/grebog.

FAR is a video podcast that explains all aspects of STO. Visit http://fleetactionreport.com/ or https://discord.gg/kDebFUFg for more information.
LOTRO
New Expansion is up for Pre-sale, with that, Bullroarer is in, its cycle of builds for update 46: Kingdoms of Harad. Harvestmath runs through November 2nd. The legendary reward track has been extended through December 2nd. This is to align it with the release of Kingdoms of Harad. If you need help with the reward track we are always up to running some group content to help get some of those levels done. If you missed out on getting your toons transferred off of the 32 bit worlds that just closed, you may now transfer from those dark worlds for free. The code for a bunch of quest packs is still available through November 3rd, use the code EXPLOREOURWORLD, sorry Mkallah, for shouting but it is case sensitive.
And with that, let’s chat about what we’ve been up to- and Mkallah has a question for us all!
GAME NEWS
Question- Favourite fall treat!
Bonus question if we have time- have you ever dressed up as a character from a game?
