A Burg’s Tale: Chapter 22

 

New Player Question

 What makes an update a major whole number rather than a decimal? (ex: 29 vs. 29.4)

Week In Gaming

Aerindys

  • Continued leveling up the baby beorning. 
  • ESO: Visited Gwaer’s house party that may have involved death by cliff diving. Continued to level up my Dragonknight and tried to make her a little more tanky.
  • Civ VI: Picked up an old game and tried to remember what the heck I was trying to do there. 

Celebathien

  • Treasure hunting with Morch netted Heistia a couple new emotes (Morch had them already).
  • The Academy found us in Tinnudir swimming back and forth along the Barandalf after archaeological goods like a group of small Indiana Joneses. Except for my High Elf, since she’s… not small.
  • Downloaded Among Us for free off of Epic Games. Time to start murdering innocents.
  • Had to remember my naming scheme for Civ VI when we pulled out an old saved game. One city named Angel Wings for India. Turns out it was lotus species/type names. 

Crister

  • Introducing . . .

  • Inventory woes – Dwarven Candle Horde
  • Started playing Stellaris again.

Gwaerendes

  • Kin meeting in Lotro: The Knights of the White Lady are going to be presenting the Festival of the White Lady on June 27th on Landroval.
  • ESO, thing the 1st: had fun running about with Sans on various alts, and threw a houseparty that turned a bit deadly. 
  • ESO, thing the 2nd: The Shiny Duo completed Coldharbour, and the Main Quest. *collapses in a heap*

Teriadwyn

  • Saryssa is still getting no love from the Treasure Hunt. Also, why can we not back-barter useless things like dowsing crystals, or emotes we’ve already gotten ten times?
  • Craft the World: Still playing with the most recent update, finished out the first world and moved on to the second, already have 4 dwarves turning werewolf. Sigh.
  • Played Ambiorix of Gaul during an old Civ VI game… badly.

Pineleaf

  • My Anor warden reached Henneth Annun
  • For the Tuesday group, Sans and I played ESO and headed to the Alik’r desert
  • In ESO, my main character reached equipment cap and max antiquities rank. I also found my first Ultimate antiquity. In alchemy, I completed the Botanist and Toxicologist achievements.
