AIE News

NOMADS

Black Desert Online, a sandbox MMORPG (Korean), is a buy to play (think GW2) game that folks are starting to take interest in. Lord Senile has started a thread in the Imperium Ludi section of the forums with discussion about how to join the guild when it’s possible/created and what’s going on in game.

The Division, a Tom Clancy multiplayer shooter is also on people’s minds. Rockdwg has started a discussion of the open beta weekends and folks are talking. See the forum thread to join in the discussion

WoW

Waterstrider gate has come and...gone. The blizzard dev team announced that they were going to restrict water striders to specific expansions. Within 48 hours they had backed it off to pre-Legion content only, and then reverted the whole change, waved their hands in the air like they didn’t care, and put the whole thing to rest. Long Live Waterstrider Gate.

Warlords have buckets, who knew? Oh wait, no, it’s a Warlords of Draenor Bucket List discussion on the forums. We still got a few months left on the expansion and folks are making list of things to do before the expansion is over. Join in the discussion

FFXIV

Kelseeer wanted the community to know that Patch 3.2 (Gears of Change) is out. A handpicked selection of changes were highlighted such as

Void Ark loot restrictions have been completely lifted, including the fact you can get extra Mhachi farthings.

New bard casting animation

Tanks use VIT instead of STR now for damage. MAKE SURE TO RESPEC IF YOU SPECCED FOR STRENGTH.

The Soul of the Crafter gives a pretty substantial bonus to craftsmanship and control.

And Sashi has been busy decorating the guild house. There is a girl’s day event and she’s used the platform you would typically display dolls on to show off all the plushies the guild has accumlated so far. Screenshot in the forum thread

Keep up the great work Sashi!

SWTOR

Are you just re-starting your SWTOR experience or have you just finished up Chapter X of Knights of the Fallen Empire and can’t wait for Chapter XI coming in March? Either way, there’s a ton to do in game and activity has been picking up with the guild.

Episode 131 of the Escape Podcast Cast is out and Max and Sema talk about patch 4.1 and how to profit from Crew Missions, what you should be running, what you shouldn’t and why. It’s a very good listen and really helps focus where your crafting should be headed if you’re into optimizing your crafting experience.
