We now have a fresh start company (Covenant) in New World on Hudsonland. We are enjoying all the improvements they've made lately. We are also on the legacy server Valhalla.

Still have a couple months to finish everything up. The Public Test Server (PTS) is up with content from the next patch 7.6 on it. One of the things being tested are dynamic events, which are like world quests in other games. A new single boss operation is being tested also. Lords of Light has taken it down, but there are some different mechanics that are not working correctly right now. Should be fun when it's in the live game. There are rewards for doing 100 dynamic events and a title for defeating the operation boss. Keep an eye out for groups getting together on the PTS if you want to finish those rewards up. We have four operations (raid) teams that are running different things. Check in the SWTOR channel in discord for when spots are open and subs are needed. There are a couple teams that have some regular spots open. Join up if you want to see some different content in Star Wars: The Old Republic. FFXIV New patch is out, more MSQ, more Alliance Raid, and you can combine level 1 outfits in the glamour dresser so they only take up one slot instead of many. Also, update your adventure plates!

The next expansion, The War Within has a launch date of Aug 26 - with early access Aug 22 for people who pre-purchased the Epic Edition. Beta access has opened and there are spoilers out there. Please respect others by not discussing big revelations in Guild chat or Discord (unless it's hidden). Meanwhile players are busy finishing up achievements and leveling alts - many of them in Pandaria Remix. It's a wicked good time! We'll also have a new playable dwarf race, The Earthen, in War Within. It seems only fair that they should be unlocked on Day One for Earthen Ring server, right? Here is a picture of Gusty on the Voyaging Wilderling Mount WoW Classic Our Stale-Puft Marshmallow raid team has had one raid night so far, in which we came 10% away from full clearing normal Blackwing Descent 10m, off to a strong start! The only Cata news of note is Blizzard recently changed valor to be a rolling seasonal cap, like how conquest points already worked,

Yes Please! Saturday's Noob Mythics became a Remix run instead, and Raid Team Kiddie Aggro did Siege of Orgrimmar last week. Alliance Team Hell Froze Over may Remix Raid this week. Noob Raid cleared all but final boss Fyrakk in Awakened Amirdrassil on Saturday. Thanks as always to Dankinia our fearless floor tank! Also, Darkmoon Faire is up and the June Trading post arrived with a heartbreakingly cute assortment of summer gear including the Pearlescent Goblin Wave Shredder (a flying surfboard), Water Blaster BL (gun) a murloc floaty belt, lots of swimwear and a rainbow beach chair. More tendies needed! WoW Classic Sema has an update!!! Cataclysm launched, with little issue, it's been a pretty calm release. The guild has been busy doing content, and dungeons, and leveling professions. It's fun to see these zones again, and the dungeons as well. Several of us on the raid team have never raided these raids when it was current, so we are looking forward to it!

It's a fun, Vampire themed crafting survival action combat game. Diablo Season 4: Loot Reborn is now live and is seemingly doing very well and players are really liking the updates. We have Diablo regulars in there checking it out and I'm sure they can offer help and guidance to anyone looking to jump back in. Other Nomads stuff is happening this week in Fallout 76, ARK, and Starfield as well. WoW Noob Raid successfully cleared Timewalking Ulduar, and congrats to two players for obtaining the rare mounts Invincible and Mimiron's Head. Aside from Noob Raid, the excitement is all about Remix: Mists of Pandaria, a limited time, speed leveling event that launched Thursday for Retail WoW. Quite a few players have reached level 70 already and are working on more toons while gathering numerous transmog items, mounts and pets. Many alts! Handle it! The characters can join current guilds but won't be on live servers until the new expansion, The War Within. AIE opened our second Alliance guild, Amicitia, to make room for the new alts. A few people had trouble pronouncing the guild name, so it's now known as Amy. Welcome Amy!

Also 2 older exotic weapon quests have been revised and re-released. Whisper of the worm sniper rifle and Outbreak Perfected Pulse. Fun night has moved to Sunday officially. WoW Guild Event on Monday where Raid Team Kiddie Aggro helped about a dozen guildies kill Heroic Fyrakk, final boss of Amirdrassil for the Ahead of the Curve Achievement. Players also got a short quest to unlock a Fyrakk appearance for their Dragonriding mount. With the new patch on Tuesday, the three Dragonflight raids will take turns becoming Awakened, rotating weekly. Awakened raids will be harder, drop improved gear and a token, Antique Bullion, that can be used to buy weapons and other items as well as a Jigglesworth Sr mount. Completing all three raids awards the Voyaging Wilderling Mount and Awakened Hero achievement. The eight Dragonflight dungeons have been revamped to Mythic level. In a helpful change for many players, the timer is being removed for level 0 to 10 mythics. Players will be able to design their own personal tabards, thanks to a new quest that starts in Valdrakken. For housekeeping, use up those catalyst charges on gear before they reset on Tuesday and spend any flightstones. One good option is to buy rep tokens from the various factions, which are account bound. Unspent flightstones will turn into gold.

It's a multiplayer, open world, survival/exploration type game. No invites have gone out but they have a signup going on (that's a little over-gamefied in my view, but ok). We'll very likely have some AIE people in there checking it out. Besides the other ongoing fun stuff (Rust, Palworld, ARK, etc.) there will be some single-player RPG games coming out next week that people may want to chat about. Horizon: Forbidden West is finally hitting PC (Steam) and Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking interesting. Mkallah- TTRPG News If you are a world builder, Chaosium is running a Basic Roleplaying Design Challenge with their open gaming license (d100). And let’s be honest, if you’re going to try and label the system as BRP (Basic Roleplaying), we’re going to add Universal and System to it and call it (BURPS). Also it’s being released under the ORC (Open RPG Creative) license. https://www.chaosium.com/blogthe-basic-roleplaying-design-challenge/ Daggerheart is doing a public playtest beginning March 12. https://darringtonpress.com/daggerheart/ https://app.demiplane.com/ Has Daggerheart Character creation This system looks really interesting and is much more character focused and story driven.

It's important to note that Dragonflight season 4 will go live several weeks after the release of the 10.2.6 content update. For heroes working toward the Amirdrassil Feats of Strength, you'll need to obtain Ahead of the Curve: Fyrakk the Blazing before Season 4 begins, and the achievement is no longer available to earn. Gustytail's favorite Holiday, the Trial of Style returns as well and there will be Guild runs. WoW Classic Cataclysm beta is out,

It may be happening while the podcast is going on even! Enshrouded: A handful of guildies are playing Enshrouded and while it's not really multi-player, but rather a co-op style game, feel free to ask in Nomads for others that may want to play along. If it does trend toward larger group open world features in the future AIE will likely start up a shared server for it. Many are looking forward to early access of Nightingale coming in a few weeks.

WoW Noob Raid completed Timewalking Firelands - barely - with an all out final pull. Congrats and thanks to everyone who joined in the fun.

Rust is spun back up as well and a group in there is trying out the new features including more automation and even the ability to tie notifications of in-game activities to your phone. Palworld launch this week and is pretty hot at the moment. The pitch is "ARK survival but with Pokemon instead of dinos... and the Pokemon can have guns" There may be a private group server being spun up for this depending on interest.

Rust has a fresh map this week and Corley and Kuda have just started building. On ARK, we've just wrapped up the winter event and a few of the group have started in on end bosses. We'll be continuing there for a while and are looking forward to the next holiday and soon, the next expanded map for Ascended. WoW WoW Retail, Patch 10.2.5 Seeds of Renewal is coming January 16 with lots of changes. Night Elves are building their new capital, Bel-Ameth in the World Tree Amirdrassil and Alliance and Horde players can visit, although Horde will have a buff warning that they're being watched... especially fire mages. There are new Night Elf tabards, cloaks and weapons there as well as new Night Elf children NPC's. Worgen leader Genn Graymane is also taking his people back to their former capital, Gilneas. Dragonriding is coming to every zone in WoW where flying is possible -- but at 80% Dragonflight speed... because 100% would be ridiculous, right? There will be new Dragon Racing events with new transmog and achievements to earn. Darkspear Trolls are getting 5 new hair colors and Dranei will have a new skin tone available, and Warlocks will have new customizations for their Demonic Tyrant and Darkglare demons. New Follower dungeons will allow players to practice roles and abilities without resorting to LFD. NPC's will make up the rest of the party. Holidays Love Is In The Air, the Lunar Festival and Noblegarden have new content including battle pets, transmog, and a dragonriding appearance. Be warned there are some very, very pink items coming to the Trading Post in February. And there's a new weekly event, Azeroth Archives that will have solo and group content to earn a v...

It looks like there is a cap of 15 members, so we’re working on solutions going forward. Hopefully we won’t have to replicate the WoW Horde guild structure, but we might! There's a group trying out ARK Survival Ascended, the newly released remastered version of the game. Nazrai is hosting the server and details are in the Nomads channel. We have some shared resources and plenty of experts that can help too! Diablo IV Season 2 is all the rage. The Season of Blood has been live since Oct 17th, and several patches since have brought some significant changes to the game. Many in the clan have commented on how this feels much more like it should have been at launch and are enjoying the changes. Beginning with this season you will have the option to skip the campaign after completing the prologue allowing you to start the season right away. The new season brings with it the usual trappings: a new questline, enemies, endgame bosses to fight, and a battle pass. Some things going on now you don't want to miss: Twitch Drops: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/24014294/season-of-blood-twitch-drops-earn-the-orichalcum-collection The game is now also available on Steam for those who have not purchased it yet and prefer such things: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/24009153/diablo-iv-coming-to-steam-on-october-17 The clan Alea Iacta Est in Diablo IV has reached capacity, mostly from the launch rush. Room can be made for active players who wish to participate in Season 2. If you are inactive and do not foresee yourself returning this season, you may drop the clan to make room for those joining us this season. You may always be readded later when you wish to return.

We don't expect that much attention there but the company still exists if anyone needs it. Diablo 4 Season 2 has started and is also looking pretty good. Some quality of life updates, like faster leveling, coupled with the season story and vampire abilities seem to be well received. I bet there's a crew in the Diablo channel that would group up for fun times if anyone is interested. ARK is likely going to release their remaster of the base game in the next week. We may have a group making an expedition into ARK and will post announcements if that's going to happen. WoW Noob Raid is still working on getting a full clear of Aberrus for Kini since it seems like whenever she is there, Noob Raid doesn't quite make it past all the bosses. Speaking of raids, with patch 10.2 launching on November 7th, Blizzard has announced the raid schedule. And good news everyone, all difficulties, including LFR launch together, and LFR wings unlock every week, instead of every 2 weeks. Gather your allies and join the Dream Wardens as they stand against the machinations of Fyrakk and his allies, the Druids of the Flame—for fame, for glory, for the World Tree—and for the rewards. You’ll face nine new bosses and engage in a Dragonriding encounter, leading to the ultimate showdown at the top of Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope. Week of November 14—Raid Finder Wing 1: Incarnates Wake (Gnarlroot – Igira the Cruel – Smolderon), Normal, Heroic, Mythic Week of November 21— Raid Finder Wing 2: Molten Incursion (Volcoross – Larodar, Keeper of the Flame) Week of November 28— Raid Finder Wing 3: The Viridian Weave (Council of Dreams – Nymue, Weaver of the Cycle)
