AIE News

Imperium Ludi

Are you playing Destiny 2 and want to join the AIE folks that are playing as well? Durus has a thread going over on the forums about the Destiny 2 Clan and how to join. Feel free to drop by and get your characters in the clan - http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57467-destiny-2-clan/

And don’t forget, the PC version of Destiny 2 will be opening up on Tuesday October 24th.

NOMADS

For anyone that hasn't seen, with Diablo Season 11 closing on October 20th, there are some people getting together in the #Nomads channel in AIE Discord to complete whatever remains. Check it out if you need to finish anything.

WoW

In case you missed it and the shock of seeing Lore’s hair pulled back instead of all it’s fluffy glory, or were perhaps distracted by Ion in general, Blizzard held a WoW Q&A and covered a number of 7.3 topics. With Blizzcon a mere 3 weeks away, it didn’t cover any new territory, although a Q&A question did get them to make the decision to make the Flight Master’s Whistle account wide on Argus as well. For a good write-up and a link to the video itself, head on over to WoWHead - https://www.wowhead.com/news=273355/liveblog-of-the-october-5th-q-a-with-ion-hazzikostas

SWTOR

Max and Sema have a new show format that is part news coverage and part commentary as they do a live play through of the starting levels. Packed full of tips and tricks for new and veteran players, including comments from the live chat room, these episodes are well worth a listen. They are currently doing the Imperial Side, Sith Sorcerer and fully committed to doing Dark Side choices even when the Light Side choices would be snarkier.
