    GREETINGS SPACE FRIENDS! And Happy new year!!!!
    We have a series of events that I’m planning for all of February
    For the First weekly event we’re going to celebrate the Lucky Pig!!! Everyone who logs on over the next 7 days will have the chance to Receive Luck ™. Some activities may help sway the luck gods so go on those fleets! And join in on Space Communism, Space Capitalism, and Space...idk Jainism…
    I’m going to be filling up Minmatar ships (rusty red colored ships) and filling them with goodies to contract out to people randomly
    Week 2 will be a Fitfleet fitness “Challenge of the skinny pig!” Just document your road to better health (whatever is medicinally advisable for all of us in different stages of life) in our fitfleet channel and receive something at the end of the week
    Week 3 is....going to be something....idk yet probably participation based. Thinking Exploding Pig. Probably a Red Envelope fleet
    But week 4 will be a Chili Recipe Cookoff I think....Pork based
    LOTRO
    "Saturday February 9th at 9 server time or 15 minutes after AIE podcast ends I will be running everyone’s favorite content .........Epic Battles. They will be starting with the War of Gondor: Retaking Pelargir. “What are the requirements?” You ask. Great question, you need to be at least lvl 10 and have Helm’s Deep expansion. Great and patient attitudes a plus. All are welcome to attend."
    And with that, let’s get back to Abovan and find out what’s going on in FFXIV
    GAME NEWS

    New Classes
    Gunbreaker - New, Gun-sword, Gunblade tank class!
    Blue Mage, available now!
    New 24-player raid with guest designers Yosuke Saito and Yoko Taro.
    Yoko Taro picture, because we need this.
     
    New Race, The Viera!
    Very similar to the Viera in FF Tactics and 12.
    The Restoration of the Holy See of Ishgard
    New Game+
    Trusts!
    And more to be revealed at the Tokyo Fan Fest
    The End of Stormblood!
    Patches! New Content, new stories!
    Patch 4.55 is slated for next Tuesday.
    More Eureka, Rival Wings Update.
    Doman mahjong was added. This is more similar to Japanese Mahjong and not solitaire Mahjong you may be familiar with. This plays like a combination of poker and gin rummy in a 4 player setting.
    Future patch
    Data Center Reshuffle. Today, Goblin, our server is on the Aether Data Center, which is our grouping of servers that allows for party finder groups, party matching and so forth. Coming soon, Goblin will be reshuffled into a new datacenter, Crystal.
    At this time, we as a Free Company will remain on Goblin with no plans on moving, and therefore will eventually end up on the Crystal datacenter. We do have a Cross-World linkshell setup that anyone is welcome to join, if you are on another server but still wish to talk to AIE folk. Ask in the #FFXIV channel in discord for details.
    You will be able to freely visit any other server on your datacenter!
    Since last time we were on, Alphascape, 4 Lords, and the end of the Return to Ivalice 24-player raid story in the Orbonne Monastery!
    Got Twitch Prime? How about Amazon Prime? Well, play the starter edition now, for FREE!
    FC Post Valentine’s Day Calamity. Get your toons refreshed in the FC or else they will removed if they are over 180 days offline. Officers, this includes you. February 15th is the deadline.

    ESO
    Something big is being revealed/announced on January 15th at 5pm Eastern. Some of it has been datamined/leaked, and it looks like it's going involve Dragons, Breaking, Cat men and a new class of the -mancer variety.
    Twitch live stream planned for the 15th to talk about what is planned for 2019 which they are referring to as The Season of the Dragon. As of right now, thoughts are it will involve a new zone focused on the Khajitt, dragons, and possibly a necromancer class.
    Currently the Midyer Mayhem pvp event is in progress so people can earn event tickets to buy berries to evolve the Indrik that was obtainable in 2018. They have three additional events planned for the first quarter - The Morrowind Celebration, Thieves Guild & Dark Brotherhood Celebration, and the Jester's Festival. Depending on the dates of these events, we will focus on them for our MFN's as they happen.
    Also a reminder that MFN in ESO is still going strong. We run every Friday night at 9pm EST .
    WoW
    We now have 6 raid team participating the guild bank / raid bank program. If your raid team would like to participate, please contact Syreyne in game or in Discord and/or post in the #raidteam-news channel in AIE Discord. Also see the pinned message in #raidteam-news for more information on this project.
    SWTOR
    In SWTOR we are learning the ropes of the new guild system. Both guilds have been ranking up nicely and every week we have to decide which perks to buy or if it makes sense to wait.
    Speaking of Conquest, we won a planet! It's a world of refineries and poison, but it's ours! AIE is on the road to galaxy domination!
    MFN continues to run on Tuesday nights starting at 9PM Eastern. Tuesday the 15th, we will be on the Republic side.
    MEGA is coming up this Saturday (the 19th) with a night of friendly GSF. The asteroids might not be friendly, but the guildies will be.
    FFXIV
    AIE in Final Fantasy. We're still here, folks! Drop by the community Discord #ffxiv channel to catch us up with what you're doing in the game and to coordinate events, daily roulettes, new dungeons, trials and raid help!
    Note that our world, Goblin, will be departing the Aether Data Center and become part of the migration to the new Crystal Data Center. We realize this is a game changer for many and if this will affect your ability to play with AIE please let us know now. We'll also announce details on how AIE will be dealing with this change on the AIE website at https://aie-guild.org/ffxiv when we have all the final details.
    As a side note: Those that may still be on Gilgamesh, that server will NOT be moving to the Crystal datacenter with Goblin, so those servers will be separated. For those that haven’t had time or money to do a server move, they did mention they would be allowing free server transfers once the moves start to happen.
    Expansion announcement: Shadowbringers
    https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/shadowbringers/

    GAME NEWS
    So, a few questions for all of us.
    Question one- what was the geekiest gift you gave?
    Tetsemi: Pretty much everything I gave was geeky and clothing related, even to my FERT Secret Santa
    Mkallah: I gave a lot of geeky gifts, but I think my favourite was the Fallout bottle cap bracelet that I made for Mrs Mew.
    Mewkow: Much like Tets, most of my gifts tend to be rather geeky. I’ve gotten a number of fallout cosplay items for MrsMew, and reached back for an old school geeky gift by giving a DVD of Chess in Concert to OldLadyFranks. I’ve also sprinkled the gift of gaming all over.
    Question two: what was the geekiest gift you got?
    Tetsemi: William Gibson’s ArchAngel
    Mkallah: SO many geeky gifts! But, I think my favourite is the D&D Arts and Arcana book from my best friend.
    Mewkow: Metric tons of fallout goodies.
    Question three: What is your geeky New Years resolution?
    Tetsemi: Put more character into my characters
    Mkallah: focus on research and writing. And, I should play a game here or there. I intended to while on break from work, but never got around to it.
    Mewkow: Spread the love to more of my ongoing games instead of hyper focusing on just 1 or 2.
    Question four: What are you looking forward to in the New Year's around AIE?
    Tetsemi: Nerdtacular 2020, oh wait, this year, Phoenix Fan Fusion with AIE/Tadpool Folks.
    Mkallah: getting back to planning more Phoenix area AIE/Tadpool events
    Mewkow: Ready to see what our AIE raiding teams do with the next raid, and making sure to keep better tabs on their progress.

This is Tetsemi: To my left is Mkallah: - (hey, guys, there are snickerdoodle cheesecake and homemade marshmallows in the guild kitchen). And to my right is Mewkow: (catch phrase here). This week we are ending the year in style and reviewing the highlights from the past year as well.
    Ok, let’s just jump into news and AIE in 2018!!
    AIE News
    Community
    https://aie-guild.org/blog/2018/11/zen-and-bc-our-only-hope/
    From time to time AIE evaluates the roles and jobs of the officer group that oversees all our game divisions and does the back end work. In doing that recently we identified the need for a bit more help in a couple areas. In particular, SWTOR 5.10 is going to take what we’ve been doing in that division with the guild “conquest” system and crank it up to 11 (and then to level 65+). Guild leveling, conquest changes and guild perks are going to require additional focus and officer roles. As a result, two new officers have been added! They will continue to be primarily SWTOR focused but we will be calling on them for help and guidance across the community as needed as well.
    BCavanagh – Bcav or BC has taken on the role of Conquest strategizer for the guild for many months with his contributions in this area extending out into the greater SWTOR gaming community as well.
    Zen – Zen has been with us for a few years now and true to his chosen gamer tag, he’s cool and level headed without fail. He is one of the top “helpers” in the guild, always ready to assist with any ask and goes out of his way constantly to make himself available. Also in the conquest management role, Zen has become a tactical execution lead.

    SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 267: Our Guild Goes To 11

    This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-267 are joined by two new AIE Officers, Zen and BC, to walk through the three 5.10 guild update posts and details from the recent dev live stream.
    SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 268: Do You Want To Build A Saber
    http://www.newoverlords.com/swtor-escape-pod-cast-268-do-you-want-to-build-a-saber/
    This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-268 talk through bits of 5.10 news from Eric Musco, Charles Boyd, and Jackie Cao, and we finally get to build our lightsabers on Tython
    Working Class Nerds - Episode 29: Community Chat with Eric Musco
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/working-class-nerds/id1330089578?mt=2#
    Marcus and Nick sit down with Star Wars: The Old Republic's Senior Community Manager Eric Musco!
    (As Captain America says to Ironman - “Language!”) Rated explicit due to language from the hosts.
    NOMADS
    Fallout 76 - Launch was fairly smooth, but as this is a Bethesda game, bugs are as plentiful as attacking ghouls. Servers or ‘worlds’ would occasionally have issues and crash, but there was always a new one waiting to move on to. PvP is a non-issue if you wish to avoid it, almost similar to warmode in WoW where if you don’t retaliate or are set in pacifist mode, it is not worth an attacker’s time to try to kill you. And if they are persistent, you can easily switch worlds and never see them again. If someone manages to kill a pacifist player, they become a wanted target for the entire server/world, showing up on the map at all times, and the bounty being paid from their own caps.
    We have several AIE members running amok in the game, and you can chat and find out more in the nomad channel in the AIE discord.
    Destiny 2 - The free copy of Year One is no longer available, but the refer-a-friend is still ongoing. If you did pick up a free copy of Year One, and are thinking of purchasing the Year Two Forsaken expansion, see about having a guildie invite you so that you can both get some fun bonus goodies for the effort. This includes an experience bonus for both of you if you are below the level cap for Forsaken, which is level 50. It also opens open a number of exclusive quests to complete together to get an exotic sniper rifle, an exclusive ship, and a friendship emblem. Those that refer multiple friends will be able to earn an exclusive sparrow. If you recently bought Forsaken, and it was less than 7 days ago, you can still be ‘referred’ by another player to activate the bonuses.
    WoW
    Just a reminder, Noob Raid will be on holiday break beginning December 15 and resuming on January 5th.
    So, AIE in WOW in Review!
    1. 112 gnomes were killed during COOP this year, however we still have time to add to those numbers with our annual Winterveil COOP coming up in December.
    2. 4,235 battle potions were used on heroic Argus, along with 10,678 warlock cookies. (Don't ask what's in the cookies.)
    3. An average of 7.7 players ask when noob raid invites go out between 9 and 11pm every Saturday night.
    4. 141 left sharks were mailed to Syreyne, bringing the current total to 426. Obviously she needs more.
    5. 682 pots of coffee were brewed in the guild kitchen. The Irish cream was optional.
    6. Ralff's Amazing Race was so amazing that the amazing officers want to do this amazing event every year. Isn't that amazing!?
    7. Summer of Love was great! Except for the Forsaken Laser Tag. All the Forsaken competitors were disqualified, since the laser beams went right through them.

    SWTOR Year End Wrap up for the AIE podcast
    2018 started off with the last of 2017’s Snowballs on Nar Shaddaa, followed closely by Zen reminding people that they can get mats from the Guild Cargo Hold to do their Conquest crafting.
    2018 also saw 3 new operations bosses in various difficulty modes:
    • Scyva, Mother of Sorrows
    • Nahut, the Hated Son
    • Izax, the Destoyer of pretty much everything and everyone
    The Guild came together to get all the operations teams a chance to down Izax.
    We got a new Flashpoint, a new pvp map, a Conquest revamp, and the Rishi Stronghold.
    We got a new podcast – Working Class Nerds – hosted by Marcus and Nick.
    We had a great year for guild growth and as a result we moved our MFN and Conquest schedule from 2 week Imp/1 week Pub to 1 and 1.
    We got 4 new officers – Dent, Marcus, Zen and BC!
    • Marcus ran his first MEGA in June and it has already become a monthly tradition. (Monthly Epic Guild Activity)
    • Marcus also instigated an operations night with all the current SWTOR podcasters that was streamed by multiple content creators. It was called SWTOR Unite.
    • BC created and published and maintained his Conquest Calculator which helps guildies (and the rest of the SWTOR community) plan out their Conquest activities.
    • Dent started Flashpoint Fridays, which is a casual pop up event for running small group content.
    • Zen continues to keep the mats the flowing and shepherd us to Conquest success week in/week out.
    We had fun times on the public test servers maxing out our characters and their gear, and killing bosses.
    We conquered Balmorra!
    Astromech EPC-268 is floating out in space broadcasting the 268th edition of the SWTOR Escape Podcast with Max and Sema.
    But 2018 is not over yet! We will finish the year with update 5.10 which will include new story, a new daily area, a new guild progression system, private PVP and GSF instances for guilds, a new armor tier, and more
    STO
    Big things have happened this year for the fleet. Fleet leadership switched over from Captain Hunter to Captain Grebog.
    The fleet made some big strides this year on the fleet holdings. The starbase was upgraded to Tier 4 and the Starbase Military also upgraded to tier 4. This has unlocked a large number of fleet ships.
    The fleet Research lab was fully completed unlocking more trait slots, an R&D project slots on top of some gear.
    The fleet spire is over halfway done in upgrading fully. Which will unlock some more awesome gear for the fleet.
    As for STO, we received the Victory is Life expansion. Bringing back the Dominion and allowing us to create Jem'hadar captains and of course more story.
    And of course the latest story is based on the Discovery TV series in the Age of Discovery. Ships updated in Tier 6 variants from the show and some really interesting episodes were added.
    Also, as Grebog’s schedule has changed around again, I will be looking to find a time for people that will allow a fun night for the fleet to come together, chat, blow up some enemy ships and have some fun. So, Set Phasers to Fun, should be coming back soon.
    FFXIV
    Shadowbreakers has been announced as your next expansion for FFXIV!
    We’re likely going to the Garlean Empire (not confirmed, but looking really likely)!
    Warrior of Light might be becoming the Warrior of Darkness. But isn’t there already a Warrior of Darkness?
    As seen in the video of the fan fest, we will have this in our hands, barring any delays,...

    WoW
    Noob Raid news - We decided to be brave and left behind the safety of LFR to venture into Uldir normal last night We managed 3/8 bosses before Vectis ended our rampage. A ton of fun was had and we are looking forward to trying again next week.
    Kardinal, tell us your first hand experience with the chaos that is NOOB raid! (Can throw to Kardinal if you want; I was there. :) I can make a story of it. )
    Noob raid’s been very popular, full/almost full every week.
    Been doing LFR, been successful, but in spirit of learning, wanted to deepen people’s knowledge
    1shot Taloc, adjusted and 2shot Mother, laughed through trash, 1shot Fetid, and….we learned a lot on Vectis. Got the mechanics, need the practice.
    Failure is good. Teaches us that it’s okay and fun to fail.
    “Progression is wiping”
    Most importantly, we laughed and had fun and there was no tension.
    December community events: COOP for Winter Veil, no date yet;
    Time After Timewalking event on Friday Dec 7th at 9pm Eastern/Server. LK Ulduar Timewalking raid. Details will be posted soon to the blog.
    November Officer Play Date: Nov 30th at 10:30 pm Eastern we are having an Overwatch night. Everyone is invited. Come get to know your fellow officers outside of WoW. Let's see how many custom games and groups we can get going.
    Raid Bank Pilot Program: This program is doing really well, and we are getting a lot of positive feedback. If you are interested in applying for a raid team guild bank tab, please email us.
    (Kardinal’s in BLTN, can talk about our experience and why we love it. Much more convenient. Don’t have to know who to send to. Don’t need to know what’s needed. Just throw whatever we think is useful in the guild bank. Anyone who needs, takes. Just need to trust your teammates, which we all do. Because we’re AIE.)
    If you are the leader of a raid team that might be interested in this program once it is approved, or have questions or feedback about such a program, please email us with details such as:

    There is a free trial of the ESO plus service that starts Thursday 11/15 and runs until Wednesday 11/21. The trail will allow free access to all of the DLC packs, the craft bag, costume dyes, and a 10% increase in experience and gold earnings. It's a great way to check out some of the benefits of a paid subscription.
    Also on 11/15 the Clockwork City Celebration event begins and runs until 11/21. During this timeframe double mats will be harvested from crafting nodes, there will be double reward boxes for completing daily quests, and the drops from all boss fights will be double as well. During this event you can earn two event tickets from the 1st daily quest to help you purchase the Indrik Feathers needed for the new Indrik Mount.
    Mandatory Fun on Friday 11/16 at 9pm est will focus on the Clockwork City zone due to the celebration event.
    STO
    If you haven't created an Age of Discovery Captain, It is highly recommended You start out in the timeline of the Discovery show. The story they put in for it is pretty good. There is even a references to some other cadets with names you should recognize.
    Also Black Friday sales. They always have some great deals on in the c store, from bonus zen if you purchase it, to discounted ships, special packs, lots of stuff.
    Currently the Phoenix prize packs are back, but you only have until tomorrow 10am PST to claim a free one or buy them with dilithium.

    Tis the season for sales.
    SWTOR
    1) 5.10 dropping on Dec 11. It's a big update with lots of guild stuff in it. We are really looking forward to it.
    2) November MEGA coming on Nov 30th. We promise no one will die. Honest!
    3) December MEGA is also a go. Beware - there might be snowballs involved. More details as we get closer.
    Last night. We had SWTOR Unite. Which was..... All of the SWTOR podcasters united for a night and we took on the Gods from the Machine operation. AIE was well represented by Max, Sema, Marcus, and a last minute fill in was Corley. We went for about 4 hours and had a blast. In the end. Izax was still standing. But what a great night.

    FFXIV
    Though is is more news for FF15 than FF14, on December 12, those that own a copy of FF15 will be able to participate in a fun side quest, as FF14 invades Eos. The Miqo’te adventurer, which is curiously in starter gear, has come to chase down the primal Garuda. Hopefully, Noctis will return the favor and visit us in Eorzea.
    EVE
    #Making EVE Great Again
    Nothing much, except more betrayals within alliances (so you end up with fights that are free for all, or where your ally helps your enemy). Even with CCP being bought out, the players are the most important resource in EvE, and Tears Do Flow Them Rivers!
    Also WAR! WAR! WAR!
    Onslaught Winter update is coming Nov. 13th
    We just maybe, maybe making a new home for ourselves by stomping on some poor unsuspecting alliance’s neck. Oopsies!
    What does that mean for AIEU? Why our specialty of course! Moving

    LOTRO
    The Legendary Server opening is something the AIE team is jumping on. You can describe it as WoW Classic of LotRO. We have a guild there and a handful of people kicking off new old-school characters.
    https://www.lotro.com/en/legendary
    Only VIPs / VIP Lifer can access them, and we're effectively starting over all at once. I suspect Helegrod, the first raid back in the day, will be the ultimate goal after hitting level 40.
    Currently "A I E" is on Anor, but we could move to Ithil if warranted due to login queues. SSG is offering free transfers.
    GAME NEWS
    Mew, Tet, Lanctharus, and Kardinal - tell us about your Blizzcon experience and your takeaways!
    The themes of our talk:
    1) the ability to talk to nearly anyone and know you have common interests.
    2) the availability and eagerness of developers to talk to anyone and everyone who approached them.
    Tetsemi - Overall thoughts are positive, lots of announcements, both expected and unexpected. Loved listening to the Before The Con panels, as well as all the panels at Blizzcon. The WoW panels (especially the Q&A) and the Warcraft III Reforged panels were amazing. The Costume/Talent contest was very well done, definitely bring back Darren DePaul for that, and the Warcraft Horde vs. Alliance voice actor panel was worth it with Laura Bailey singing Daughter of the Sea live.
    Content thoughts -
    WoW had much more information than I thought and I’m already scrambling to level up characters and finish achievements so I can keep up when it’s release.
    Warcraft III Reforged was an instant buy for me as I can’t wait to play it again properly on new graphics.
    Hearthstone - I like that they’re doing a troll expansion tieing into the current WoW expansions, it looks fun, I’ll probably dabble in it.
    Heroes of the Storm - I love the story behind the new character they introduced and hopefully the lore behind the Nexus will be interesting....

    Destiny 2 - Festival of the Lost is underway. Enjoy Destiny’s take on the season by donning masks, and going on a bit of a spooky hunt with Amanda Holliday leading the way as you explore the Haunted Forest. The Tower is decorated in honor of those lost, and the Eververse loot season has been flavored to match. The Clan is currently at level 3 after our current efforts, but still has a few levels to go if we want to get maxed out at level 6. Hawthorne is who you want to talk to if you wish to contribute to the clan leveling, and definitely if you are planning on running content with fellow clan members.

    Corley has an AIE Rust server back up to check out the latest changes for any of the Rust fans. Maple Story 2 was released and we have at least couple guild members in there.
    In Destiny 2 news; The guild is still working towards getting the clan banner leveled to its maximum benefits, currently at level 2. For those that want to help with this goal, you will need to get to the current max level of 50 and then grab the daily clan bounties from Hawthorne at the Tower. There is normally 1 solo pve bounty, 2 solo crucible bounties, and 3 clan group bounties that are refreshed every day. Once we get to level 4, we will be able to complete the raid bounties.
    WoW
    Just a mechanical, behind the scenes change with guild invites. We have removed the pleb guild rank and everyone is now a Cohort by default. As the major reason for the two rank system is long gone (the rapid expansion of the guild in the early days), it didn’t make a lot of sense to keep the two rank system around and removes one of the headaches of the officers having to do promotions each month.

Boss kills will drop Plunder Skull containers which can contain motif pages, masks, recipes, and style materials, among other Witches Festival themed items.

    During MFN this coming Friday, we will take advantage of the Festival and use the cauldron to turn ourselves in to undead and roam Tamriel killing bosses, running delves, clearing dungeons, and basically just wreaking havoc on the Dremora to collect as many of the event items as we can.

    Zod: We want to formally invite the AIE Podcast hosts to our show for some live gaming action and shenanigans. Also, if anyone is interested in being on the show, please let Syreyne or myself know. You can ping us on Discord or on Twitter. You don’t have to be an officer, or even in WoW. We want to get to know you...our community.
    Sy: We’ve done SWTOR, EVE, and Overwatch too. Or if you play one of our other game divisions, that’s cool too! We’re always up for trying new things! Or, if you have a suggestion of who to invite to the show, let us know that too!
    .
    Running of the Beef 15: Zandalar Forever
    Zod: This time around is the Running of the Beef #15, code name “Zandalar Forever”. Over the years, we have done everything from the original tauren to Gerp and Henry to Lanc and Bronies to our special Ralff edition. This time, we are doing trolls in honor of the newest WoW expansion, Battle for Azeroth, and Princess Talanji. The event is on Sunday, October 21st.
    Sy: We know many of you are full up on Earthen Ring, so we are running on the Ravenholdt US server. Because we had sharding aka phasing issues last time, we are asking everyone to level their troll to 10 in advance so we can group up as a raid. With full heirlooms, this only takes about an hour to do. So you have one week to create and level those trolls!
    Zod: We are starting with the meetup and guild invites at 1pm Eastern. The guild name for this Running of the Beef is “Bwonsamdi Forever”. We do have a guild crest, so if you are inclined to buy a guild tabard in Orgrimmar, go for it. But it will cost 1 gold from the vendor. Unfortunately, with the change that made tabards Bind on Pickup, we can no longer pre-purchase them to hand out anymore. If you really really want the tabard, the easiest way is to get the gold for it is to create a DK and do some of the starting area quests.
    Sy: Make sure that after you hit level 10, you hearth back to the very first zone-in starting area, aka the beach. We are going to start there. That’s also where we will do the guild and raid invites. At 2pm Eastern, we are going to roll out. We have all kinds of fun and cool things to do, so have your S.E.L.F.I.E. cameras hot-keyed and your twitter linked up to battlenet. We’re going to use #aieguild and #RotB15 to share our “photos” with the whole community.
    Zod: In the past, we’ve had bodyguards to help us through higher level zones. This time around, we are doing things a bit differently, so we won’t need the guards to follow us. Don’t worry! I’m pretty sure some of you will still die. It is tradition after all.
    Sy: If you are interested in seeing the formal invitation for Running of the Beef, or the full list of previous themes, check out our blog post on the AIE website! https://aie-guild.org/blog/2018/09/running-of-the-beef-zandalar-forever/
    Upcoming Events
    Zod: The WoW guild has been setting up once-a-month guild wide events. October is obviously our Running of the Beef. But we taking a break for November due to this little thing called Blizzcon and of course, the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving. We have some great ideas for events coming up, including hitting up some older expansion raids.
    Sy: To help with all these new events, we’ve started a new Events Committee to help out. If you have ideas for new events that we can do, whether in WoW or in other gaming divisions, please let the officers know. You can always find us in Discord in the #lfo chat channel, or you can email us at [email protected].
    Zod: We’ve had some great fun over the last few months with the Hide and Forsaken, Kirin Tor Tavern Crawl, Trial of Style, and Pirate’s Day Warmode (and Sy’s pirate themed sad jokes!). We want to keep the fun and momentum going!

    SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 259: Original Trailer Reaction Show
    http://www.newoverlords.com/swtor-escape-pod-cast-259-original-trailer-reaction-show/
    This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-259 play the three original trailers and react and comment including a dive into the Malgus origin and story arc leading up to SWTOR launch.
    SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 260: True Emperor
    http://www.newoverlords.com/swtor-escape-pod-cast-260-true-emperor/
    This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-260 make the Malgus circle complete by running the False Emperor flashpoint (or True Emperor, from a certain point of view).
    Upcoming streams
    ESO MFN and NOOB raid are both streaming this week!
    NOMADS
    Destiny 2 - The guild is in need of people getting to the new max level and working towards the clan goals to get the new banner perks upgraded.
    WoW
    New to raiding, feel like you need to get your feet wet? Or, just want to raid in a fun and friendly environment? Well, Noob raid starts up again October 6th! The only requirments are that you are at max level, want to have fun, and are willing to die over and over again! Oh, and pick on Kini as she floor tanks. If you are interested, talk to Dankinia for details. You can find her in game, on discord, or even twitter - just make sure you use the hashtag #whereskini!
    Running of the Beef 15- Zandalar forever!
    We will have Sy on next show to talk about it, but the event is scheduled for October 21st at 2pm Eastern time!
    https://aie-guild.org/blog/2018/09/running-of-the-beef-zandalar-forever/
    Reminder to use AIE LFO Community to look for officers in game.
    Reminder to use raid recruitment channel in discord to find raid teams, now that more people are gearing up 120.
    ESO
    MFN is still on Friday’s at 9pm Eastern.
    The Summerset event to unlock a pet, mount, and house has ended. AIE did it’s part to get the achievement completed. The ESO community hit the goal and we should be receiving an awesome house around October 10th. And they will have plenty of items created for it for people to spend their money on.
    On October 8th they will be releasing 4 Summerset/High Elves style furniture packs in the Crown Store for purchase if people want to buy them to start furnishing the Grand Psijic Villa we unlocked. The sets available will be for a parlor, kitchen/dining room, bedroom, and bathroom.
    STO
    33% of Lifetime sub sale going on now until 10/1 10 am PT (yes tomorrow)
    20% off services sale going on now until also 10/1 10 am PT
    It is also Bonus XP weekend. Great time to level mains or alts.
    Phoenix Prize pack also going on right now, but this goes until 10/5 10am PT. Get a free phoenix prize pack at Drozana Station each day. And you can buy more from the dilithium store. A great way to stock up on gear upgrade tokens that cost no dilithium on use. And technically the cost of the boxes from the dilithium store for the boxes converted over to these upgrade tokens ends up saving you dilithium compared to regular upgrade tokens that use dilithium in the upgrade process. (Yes, Grebog put it into a spreadsheet to check.)
    The fleet can always use more personnel and resources for the fleet holdings. We are still making decent progress on the various holdings and every little bit helps.
    The Spire is closing in on Tier 2 of research wing, which will unlock one of the better tactical consoles in game for everyone. The operations wing is also closing on on getting its big Tier 2 project unlocked as well. And then once we complete the Tier 2 research, we will also be able to work on the overall spire's tier 2 project, which will unlock the fleet versions of the 1000 day veteran ships.
    SWTOR
    This week was Republic side for conquest. We hit the large goal yesterday.
    For MFN, we had a prep team start Scum and Villainy an hour before so that as a 16-person team, we could finish it. The operation has 7 bosses. The prep team got the first 5 down. Special thanks for the idea goes out to Zen.
    Next week will be the Imperial side for conquest.
    Patch 5.9.3 is dropping this week with a new Huttball map and the start of a week of double XP and CXP.
    Thank you and welcome all new members to the guild. We have had a ton join in the last month. Just want to say we’re happy to have them!

    GAME NEWS
    Mewkow- Moving, lots and lots of unpacking and Destiny 2/WoW when I can
    Mkallah- Big fight thursday game, Ravenloft planning…… D&D Friday- learn about the battle between Artraxis and Alistar Bronzebeard- learn about the Shadowfel, find shadow dragon scale that had we taken would have put us in large amounts of danger had we made it into a shield
    Mage- no game last session, but tell story about Mills playing the Prince
    Tetsemi-
    WoW
    1) Got exalted with all Horde BfA reputations, still working on 2 Alliance ones to Revered.
    2) Horde Raid team got the first three bosses down in Uldir on Normal Mode
    3) Completed the Jaina storyline on the Alliance side, including the Siege of Boralus Mythic (15 wipes on the final boss)
    Team Positive moment - See # 3 above. Three DPS queued up for Siege, we got a wonderful priest healer who was fighting their addons for dispelling and went through two tanks (I play DPS on the Alliance side) before finally getting the final fight down correctly. The three DPS and the healer were steady, kept discussing what we were doing wrong, without blame, and got ourselves sorted and finally got it! No spoilers, but the final cinematic is definitely a wow moment. Very nice to put a cap on that story line.
    Dear Blizzard, please add in a Ferry Master whistle!
    Mobile
    Lots of Pokemon Go! Got all but one regional (still looking for a Lapris)
    Starting playing a new mobile game - Dragalia Lost (think Final Fantasy + Blizzard Game on Mobile)

    Just a reminder, we are now using the AIE LFO Community for invites, please see https://aie-guild.info/wowlfo for information on how to join the community and request an invite to the guild after receiving your approved Umami application for each character.
    Do you have a style, would you like to show it off? Gustytail and Syreyne are hosting a Show off Your Mog for Trial of Style. They will be organizing guild members into groups of 6 to run the Trial of Style. This is a great time to earn your 1st Place shirt for winning, along with currency to buy the transmog sets from the vendor.
    We are setting times for Friday August 31 at 8pm EST, Saturday September 1 at 2pm EST and 9pm EST, Sunday September 2 at 1pm EST, and Monday September 3 at 8pm EST.
    We encourage everyone to create groups any time outside of that however! And don't forget, you need a shirt and tabard in your bags before queuing. You can always pre-create your mog sets too!
    Good luck and see you next weekend!

    Mandatory Fun Night this week will be on the Republic Side, make sure you join Tuesdays at 9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific to enjoy the fun! Conquest will be The Trade Emporium. Ops is Toborro's Courtyard.
    The stong hold is fully unlocked for our guild and has both a large arena that outfitted for custom huttball or team deathmatch, and a smaller arena for small group or duels.
    There's also a beach for chill guild parties!
    The MEGA event on Friday was fun and well attended. We got a pretty big group in our new guild stronghold and played around with the two custom arenas and it was called Revenge of the Huts. Fun was had by all and everyone killed Max.
    The next Mega event will be on September 20th with details to come. It will be announced on Working Class Nerds next episode or the next Escape Pod Cast.
    STO
    Crypitc/Perfect World announced that coming this fall will be "Age of Discovery." We will get to see many of the Star Trek: Discovery show story put into game. They even mentioned in the release they will have a new starting experience for captains wanting to create a Discovery Federation captain.
    My guess is that it will be similar to the creation of TOS captains. They may also add in a similar system to those captains for bonus rewards that you unlock account wide.
    The crystalline catastrophe event is going on for special rewards.
    The fleet is still progressing on various holdings, but can always use more duty officers for the various holdings.
    Other than that, I think we have had many distracted by a burning tree and fighting on the islands.
    EVE
    All is hunky dory. PvP activity is still at an all time high as we continue our holy war against TEST Alliance and their lowly mythical unicorn Russian renters alliance.

    (Kelseer) - Wolfhunter is live! Ever want to be a werewolf? Now is your chance as Werewolves have been updated to be more effective.
    The recent patch that happened when the Wolfhunter DLC went live also added in a few other changes such as a new Battlegrounds map, some Alliance War changes, a new Skill respec update, and improvements to the Werewolf Skill Line. The Skill respec improvements are the change I was most looking forward to because it makes respecing more affordable. You don’t have to remove all skills and start from scratch, you can just remove the ones you don’t want and use those points elsewhere.
