WoW Classic Good News Everybody, ICC is open, we have been in twice now, and have downed the first 4 bosses with relative ease. Tonight we cleared Onyxia’s Lair, ToC 10 man, Malygos (Weekly quest), VOA, and the 1st 4 bosses in ICC. In other news, the Hallow’s End event is active, and we have been running the headless horseman daily. Successful mount drops for some of us, so they seem to have upped the drop rate. It’s great to be back in the raiding mode, and to have that comradery back.

We are also looking forward to BlizzCon to see what they announce regarding Cataclysm, and Classic in general.

SWTOR In swtor game news, we got some updates on what 7.4 will bring, which included a game-wide upgrade to lighting and a new color tech. The new color tech includes a spectrum of shininess from matte to pearlescent to metallic. The first application of this new tech is going to be in six new dyes. Now when you say you got a shiny new armor piece, you can really mean it.

This is a reminder that flashpoints drop plenty of nice decorations for your stronghold, so they are worth running–especially when they are Conquest or Galactic Seasons objectives.

We had an active week in the guild with World Bosses and murderous mayhem during MFN, PVP action on Wednesday night and Space Pew Pew and heroics on Friday.

ESO Cool things the guild has been doing: We’ve been working on Trials again and having a lot of fun doing so even though we usually have less than 12 people. Playing Tales of Tribute with each other for the current ToT tournment.

Things planned or coming up for the guild: More trials Diving into the new Endless Archive content when it releases

Game News: Update 40, which brings the new Endless Archive content, is scheduled to launch on Oct 30th for PC/Mac and Nov 14th for consoles. It brings some QoL changes like a new group finder for trials, arenas, and pretty much any other activity you might want to group up with friends to do.

FFXIV We got the first new job reveal for Dawntrail! A dual sword wielding melee called Viper, designed specifically for ffxiv and sharing gear with Ninja. The swords can be combined into a long single weapon for their burst phase.

And FFXIV will have fur textures! Look at the amazing furry llama!

LOTRO See Game Notes

GAME NEWS Corsairs of Umbar on track to release on November 8th

Lore of Umbar

The Haven of Umbar was a city to the far south of Gondor in Middle-earth, where the King’s Men and their descendants lived in a city of the same name. By the Third Age known for its sea-faring Corsairs.

New playable class

4 new regions with over 350 unique quests

New enemies that include a lion and a saltwater crocodile.

New level cap of 150

SSG wants players to have plenty to do and not necessarily get to endgame.

New endgame instances coming Dec/Jan timeframe

Upcoming improvements

UI

Deeds panel

Map that doesn’t take up the whole map so you can have it open while running.

Looking at improving content for lower-level content while still adding endgame

New launcher that would include multi-factor authentication mid next year (probably)

4K update is still planned.

Executive Producer wants more mechanisms for players to group from disparate levels such as level 75 able to run with a 105 or even a 140 and be able to do meaningful content and get good rewards.

Devs are working on stuff for all categories of player types from endgame, explorers to crafters to those who want to immerse themselves in Middle-Earth. One thing is a parrot that sits on your shoulder, that uses an equipment slot, for one group and non-combat parrot pet for another group.

VIP updates are in the works to make it more incentivizing.

Skirmishes will get looked at after Umbar, as simple as updating rewards to being better for a varied group to join in.
