Welcome to episode #274 of the the podcast celebrating the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Tetsemi: To my left is Mkallah: – (Hey, guys, there is carrot cake in the guild kitchen). And to my right is Mewkow (Greetings, Gamers) This week we are joined by special guests Arv and Apolas who is here to talk to us about AIE in SWTOR Welcome!
Mewkow – Finished Andromeda. Enjoyed the story. Waiting for the DLC. Now diving back into WoW more full time to catch up on 7.2 content. Not too far from getting revered rep for the final piece of pathfinder 2 flying. Will now be able to dig into the new SWTOR content since the wow rep grind is a dailies thing.
Tetsemi – FERT Killed Gul’dan on Normal making this the second raid content, this expansion, we’ve killed before it has been nerfed or the new raid content has launched. Tetsemi has unlocked flying and is halfway to exalted with the Armies of Legionfall. I’ve completed the Class story line on my Mage and Death Knight as well, and working through the Paladin storyline, which is really good so far, as we’ve invaded a demon homeworld providing a daring rescue of our forces and inducted the first Night Elf Priest into the Paladinhood. Hopefully Tyrande didn’t notice we recruited one of her priests.
Got through the initial storyline on Iokath with my Pub Trooper and Imp Sorc, each ultimately deciding to stick with their original faction, although the decision for my Trooper was more difficult than I had thought. When I get to the Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, and Agent it’ll be interesting to see which direction I got. I’m planning on having at least one or two characters go cross-faction just to see how it plays out and fits into their storyline.
Ok, we’ll be digging into the Galaxy far, far away shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news…

Shout out to the guildies for helping Wobbley sort out the last piece of the achievement he needed for the Suramar quest line. Love to see guildies jumping in and helping folks with questions in the forums.

How are you finding patch 7.2? Have you gotten PathFinder part 1 & 2 done and taking to the skies? Are you having flashbacks with the treasure goblin to the Isle of Thunder and the chest room?
This week, if you grab the quest from your journal or the Archmage Timear in Dalaran you can get 5k order resources for completing 20 WQ’s. Between the emissary quests and the Broken Shore dailies it’s fairly easy to hit the 20 WQ’s in a few hours. Also you get 50% more reputation gain from each WQ, so if you’re trying to gain reputation, go grind!
EVE
Eve Online has a great news writeup about current game information and new things coming down in the future.
Looking for new blue prints? Think you’re all that and a bag of chips? Well the Blood Raider Shipyards await the brave capsuleer and friends (always bring friends). Blood Raider shipyards provide a unique opportunity for capsuleers from across the cluster to assault Blood Raider manufacturing facilities and military staging points,salvaging blueprints that will allow the construction of formidable Blood Raider capital vessels.
New to Eve and not quite sure what’s it all about? There’s a new introduction video that was introduced as part of the ongoing project to improve the New Player Experience and give a more meaningful journey through character creation, a new cinematic video has arrived to brief capsuleers on the trials and tribulations of forging their own legacy in New Eden.

Patch 3.57, improving on the 3.5 patch Far Edge of Fate, has dropped, bringing with it a number of quality of life improvements centered around catching up.
Materials needed for Anima weapons have had their drop amount increased, and a number of turn-ins have had their required amounts decreased, allowing for faster completion.
The weekly gear drop restrictions for raiding in Dun Scaith have been removed, allowing multiple runs per week. More gears dropping in the Alexander raids, mostly because Mkallah is bleeding into the worlds.
A number of smaller bug fixes are also live, all of which can be found at the link in the show notes.
And with that, let’s get back to Arv and Apolas and find out what’s going on in SWTOR..
