We’re going to have the AIE Guild at Blizzcon once again and Mewkow hopes to see everyone there! It will be open both days of Blizzcon and is a good place to meet up with fellow guildies, relax, and take a break from all the hectic Blizzcon activities. If you’d like to help out with the expenses this year, please see the GoFundMe page we have for that purpose. https://www.gofundme.com/nkft3-guildhall

Speaking of Blizzcon, events are already underway to determine who will crowned champion of several eSports at Blizzcon. Check out the Blizzcon schedule here - https://blizzcon.com/en-us/schedule to see what’s available to watch.

Playing Destiny 2 and want to join AIE? Check out the thread Durus has in the forums about what’s going on. http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57467-destiny-2-clan/page-2 Currently we’ve filled up one clan (they only hold 100 characters) and have created a second clan for those that still wish to join.

Destiny 2 News:

* PC release is out now!

* Clans are "meta" : all platforms (xbox, psn, pc) are in the clan but you only see the in-game roster for the specific platform you're currently playing.

* The roster is currently broken on PC (it was on the console at release as well).

* The PC clan members are reaping the rewards of the console players' efforts the past few months. We are at the max clan level and receiving all perks for the current season. No announcement yet on when seasons will cycle.

* Embrace the new "social" tab in the Blizzard app. Join the PC Blizzard social group "AIE Destiny 2" The invite link is pinned in the AIE Discord #nomads channel: https://blizzard.com/invite/ka2DgUJWk

* Pro tip: Only use "Powerful Engrams" once your current power level seems to stall. They will redeem a much higher power level piece of gear to help push you over the stalled gear level hump (Where NPCs seem to only offer a max level piece of gear despite your current gear level progression).

* The raid releases on 1 Nov.

WoW

Patch 7.3.2 dropped since our last show and has a lot of tweaks to several character classes. Notes can be found here, https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21121541 , but one of Tetsemi’s favorite updates is that they added a Primal Sagerite vendor to the Vindicar so you can trade in Primal Sargerite for Argus materials. This is much better than, for Tetsemi, than trying to prospect ore to get the right color gem, instead you can just buy it for 10 Primal Sagerites.

There are also a bunch of changes that didn’t make it into the patch notes and WoWHead has them all - https://www.wowhead.com/news=274728/undocumented-changes-in-patch-7-3-2 One of my favorite ones is that they fixed it so you can turn in Argus quests no matter where the Vindicar is located. Personally, I got used to moving the ship to all three locations just to make sure I wasn’t missing any quests and to do the turn-ins.
