Week In Gaming

Celebathien

  • LOTRO: Tier 2 makes me weep. Tier 1 soothes my urge for shovelly vengeance, though. I want to know why you don’t win life itself if you manage to beat Tier 5 raids if the difficulty increase between Tier 1 and Tier 2 is any indication of the future.
  • LOTRO: Speaking of Caesawerui, I ran some instances with the Academy on him before the raid. Nothing like our last attempt, though, when we went into some 6 man skirms with 5 people and had one drop out before the end. No, we didn’t survive them, kthnxbai. We did this time, though.
  • ESO: RNG continues to mock me. Have 2 rare fish left for Northern Elsweyr. Today, I literally caught every non-purple rare fish in Northern Elsweyr BUT the two I’m missing (some of them twice). Also, I was fishing, and a blue oasis dragon frog kept going back and forth past me. Since it wanted to die so bad, I obliged it. Went to collect my lake bait (guts and whatnot) and got poultry from it. What in the name of FDA violations…..?

 

Crister

  • HiHo HoHo (HiddenHoard Hootenanny/Hoedown) was a big success, after our massive failure!  We started at T2 and quickly realized that hey, we are noobs, and then went back and did T1, which went very well.  This raid was effectively ready to go BEFORE raid time, which hasn’t happened in a long time so that was awesome!
  • ESO I keep finding things to keep me highly motivated in the game – I’m a sorcerer and have now acquired two set bonuses that do aoe shock damage and it is frankly a blast to get in the middle of large groups and let the electricity rip!  It’s like when that one dude at the end of the movie Powder exploded, only ALL THE TIME.  Like, if the robots from the Matrix had my orc, they could destroy the human race and just use him for power.
  • I’m going to work on more LOTRO ads for our raids, I’ve been posting ‘sponsors’ for the last couple raids and it was well received.  Bring on the Balrog Bites!
  • Civ VI epic defense vs 6 zulu giant death robots – I only had one but a ton of infantry and I managed to fend them off, mainly because I had a choke point type situation.

 

Sanswinda

  • Tanked the first two Fornost instances with the rejects.
  • Finally got some new LIs for my level 130 burglar.
  • Made two new characters in FFXIV. 

 

Pineleaf

  • My wardens ran the Narrowdelve and Chamber of Shadows
  • My Landroval Minstrel reached Level 140 and completed the Zhelruka allegiance
  • For Friday Night Fights, we ran the Houses of Rest
