Nomads

A great time in the #Coreborn open Beta, with many great tests completed! Looci and others are very much looking forward to the full game! Overall a great job for an indie game, that’s for sure!

WoW

Achievement spam incoming, with Raid Teams Kiddie Aggro, So Let’s Go Skating and Better Late Than Never (Gustytail’s team) all 8 of 9 bosses in Heroic Aberrus, The Shadowed Crucible. Who will be first to down Scale Commander Sakareth?

The Filthy Casuals are 8 of 9 bosses on Normal difficulty and Noob Raid cleared 3 bosses on Normal this week.

House of Gamon is looking for more players. They run Mon-Wed from 9:30-11pm Eastern and their motto is, “Run what you have fun with.” Contact Wargus or check the Raid Team recruitment channel in Discord.

Also all three wings of Aberrus are now open on Raid Finder and it hasn’t been as much of a wipefest as some other raids

WoW Classic

First week of Trial of the Crusader and Onyxia 80… weird memories going back to Onyxia after such a long time. Now she even drops a mount (and a 22 slot bag)

Next week will be the opening of the 3rd boss of Vault of Archavon (it was not up the first partial week), so more easy tokens to get

A few of us have been pursuing the violet proto drake for completing the holiday events meta, and I am happy to say that 3 of our players have earned that mount. This is a 310 flight speed mount!

SWTOR

7.3 content drop is fun. It brought a new questing area with gorgeous new graphics, a new dungeon, and a pretty awesome story beat. The story had us speculating about who is going to do what to whom and when!

MFN continues to sail along on Tuesday nights. The summer season is bringing a new schedule for Wednesday night PVP. It’s going to be roughly every two weeks, but it’s still worth checking on any Wednesday to see what’s happening. Friday nights is flying along with Galactic Starfighter and more.

The PvP season just ended, but there are still 7ish weeks left to finish up Galactic Seasons 4.

ESO

First week of the Tales of Tribute tournament is complete.

1st Malakyi 2-0
1st Newtype 2-0
3rd Dankinia 1-1
3rd DPRoberts 1-1
5th Bashirra 0-2
5th Kraemer 0-2

FFXIV

Make It Rain MGP event starts on June 30th, we will be running Jackpot FC buffs throughout the duration of the event. Once it’s done and Jess has recovered from their surgery they will be assembling a Bozja event for FC folks
