Week In Gaming

 

Celebathien

  • LOTRO: Got my anniversary stuff. It’s basically nesting dolls of boxes.
  • LOTRO: Did the best ever in T2 and nearly got through the three ice giants. Then promptly tanked the next attempt and called it a night because of course.
  • ESO: Maxed out about half of my characters for speed in riding. Haven’t really been on there this week otherwise.

 

Crister

  • T2 went really well last night on boss one – hit the enrage time on the third of the bosses but our tactics are sound just need more damage.
  • LOTRO Anniversary – first weeker vs jealousy
  • Funniest thing about new LOTRO release – MY BAGS ARE FULL.
  • ESO thunder and lightning continues!  Curious if anyone else has striven to use set piece bonuses – if so which ones?  I have found them a significant boost to my combat abilities.
  • Goofing around with Starship EVO (ESO) and Cities: Skylines this week.

 

Gwaerendes

  • In Lotro, I decided that this is the year I finally get the Anniversary Keg. The only thing left is the Year 7 Trifles card: emoting at various Big Bads. I managed to get one in the Breefields Festival Grounds.
  • Also, looking forward to tomorrow’s Kin meeting. We’re going to start planning for Festival of the White Lady, celebrating our 15th Anniversary this June. 
  • In ESO, I collapsed in a heap after the end of Jubilee. And I’ve been working on leveling Thieves Guild for fun and profit.

 

Sanswinda

  • Used Sic ‘em! quite a few times outside Dingarth. Eventually updated LOTRO and collected some rewards.
  • Fed some horses and did some crafting in ESO.
  • Did some fishing and ran 10 levels in Palace of the Dead in FFXIV

 

Teriadwyn

  • Teriadwyn has got so many boxes that she has even less than the no space she had before the update. Woe.
  • Dipped a toe into the Yondershire with the Academy and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Also remembered why I thoroughly enjoyed naming a high elf Greyistheshadow…
  • Needed to do some not terribly above-board things for endeavors in ESO this week, so Saryssa has gone up two levels.

 

Pineleaf

  • My Anor warded started a historical tale of the Last Alliance.
  • My Anor warden also completed the Kidzul-Kalah instance.
  • I headed out into the Yondershire
