AIE News

Community

Keep an eye on AIE Discord, the forums, and the main https://aie-guild.org page for information regarding the February events in all the games that AIE is involved in. Rumor has it, the WoW team is cooking up something special for the February event based on an idea that Ralff had and the the SWTOR team has run in the past. Curious? So are we, can’t wait to find out more as we get closer to the event.

Also, one of our AIE SWTOR members has a podcast called Working Class Nerds, check it out at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/working-class-nerds/id1330089578?mt=2#episodeGuid=Buzzsprout-626038

Some brave AIE souls are checking out ESO again. Check out the #eso channel in the AIE Discord for anyone interested in joining them.

The guild is named Alea Iacta Est Cartis and is available for all AIE members to join.

On the Crowfall side of news, game is getting more finished and we'll surely have an open beta (currently still a kickstarter beta, and the kickstarter campaign is closed) this summer with release sometime this year.

Still a lot of work but basic issues like animation cancellations and powers are fixed and are fluid now.

More classes and races are in

WoW

Patch 7.3.5 - Patch Notes - https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21365423

A lot of content shipped with this patch but isn’t available for play yet. If you have killed the last raid boss in Antorus on any difficulty, the character that killed him will get a new breadcrumb quest leading to Orgrimmar and the new quest line leading up to the next expansion, Battle For Azeroth. As of right now, you do need to kill the last boss in Antorus on each character you want to get the new content available to them, it is not account wide. No word if it will become account wide later in the patch cycle.

For all you altoholics, the new zone scaling is in for all content zones as well as a nerf to XP gained both through heirloom gear and quest/mob XP rewards, so as they say in Pandaria “Slow Down!” and enjoy the leveling content.

Holiday Dungeons are also now available to all characters starting at level 20 (same level as the new Allied races start at, coincidence? I think not) and the rewards will scale with character level.

And, as of right now, all Dungeons reward personal loot, which means if you want a piece for transmog, you have to run it on a class capable of obtaining it from the loot table. Expect the prices of BoE greens to skyrocket.
