NOMADS

Destiny 2 - New expansion launched, new activities, new weapons. It is the conclusion of what Bungie is calling the light and dark saga where we fight the big bad from the last 10 years. They did some new really neat stuff like a 12 player activity that unlocked when the new raid had been completed by a team. Overall it has been getting very positive reviews.

WoW

oob Raid cleared up to final boss Sarkareth in Aberrus on Saturday night and in coming weeks will be working on getting people the Awakened Raid achievement. Defeating all bosses in Vault of the Incarnates, Aberrus and Amirdrassil on Normal difficulty awards the Voyaging Wilderling Mount. Planning has begun for AIE's Summer of Love event, which will run July 27 (26?) through August 2nd (Remembrance Day). In WoW, we'll have a Lore Night and a WoW Trivia night, as well as pet and toy giveaways.

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?

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,
