AIE Game Specific News

Community

This month’s community event will be the Balloon tours in WoW (more info in the WoW News section) and next month’s event will be the Midsummer Fire Festivals to steal Alliance Fires on Sunday June 24th from 2-4 pm EDT (Server time).

WoW

We are doing the Balloon Tours event on Friday, May 11th starting at 11pm server time (EST). It takes four people queued up for a balloon to launch on the tour so we will be coordinating everyone to make sure folks can get to see which tour they want to see. Keep an eye out for an article on the https://aie-guild.org website for more information.

And if you’re in the BfA Beta, just a reminder, we have a couple of co-guilds available for you to join. We’re on the Sylvanas server, on the Alliance side, so as not to spoil the Horde storyline. Just hop into the #lfo channel on the AIE Discord and ask for an invite.

ESO

The newest chapter in the world of Tamriel, entitled Summerset, is going into pre-order pre-release on May 21st for the PC/Mac and for everyone (those plus PS4 and XBox1) on June 5th.

FFXIV

Patch 4.3 will be titled, Under the Moonlight, and will be available late may.

New 24-player raid, continuing the Ivalice storyline, Pharos at Ridorana. New 8-player trial that is still under wraps. New Deep Dungeon, Heaven-on-High. Less of a deep dungeon and more of a tall tower. Heaven-on-High will have 30 floors of story content with floors 31-100 as challenge content. For those that have gone through stormblood, at least the Doma part of Stormblood, you might remember the large criss-cross tower in the Ruby Sea.

The new FFXIV mobile app will be debuting on 4.3.
