Gaiscioch Community News May, 2018
- In Memory of Wally "Pops" Anderson
Some of you may have seen the news on our site, in discord, on the magazine site, or in game that our dear friend Pops has ascended to the next place. We have posted a nice tribute for him in our Gaiscioch Magazine and wore the color Red for the month of April in memory of him. Pops was a huge influence in our community and we will keep his memory alive. Please feel free to visit: http://gsch.info/a/230435 and share a few words if you please.

- Gaiscioch Community Summit - Q2, 2018
It's that time again. Time for us to discuss our past 3 months and give an outlook on the next 3 months. This is also a great time for new members to actively participate in the community by asking questions. I welcome everyone to bring a question to this quarter’s Gaiscioch Community Summit which will be on Discord for discussion and streamed on both Twitch and YouTube.
- GDPR & Gaiscioch
I want to touch on this as this new European Regulation forces anyone that has a presence in Europe to comply. Being a good chunk of our membership is from Europe I need to be sure you guys know what goes on behind the scenes and you agree to it.

- Chronicles of Tamriel off to a Good Start
We've got the first week under our belt and things are going good. We were aiming to have a smaller sized public community event with between 24-72 people participating (2-3 Raid Groups). Our first week we had 32 that entered in the raffle which is about where we expected. We've got some pretty cool prizes that ZeniMax tossed on the pile including a digital collector's edition of Summerset, a set of mini posters autographed by the team, and 50x 750 Crown Packs to give away. Be sure to join us Thursdays at 6PM PT for the next part of the Chronicles of Tamriel. Head over to: https://www.chroniclesoftamriel.com/ to learn more.

- Saturday Morning Walkthroughs
We are conducting walkthroughs of the next week’s Chronicles of Tamriel every Saturday at 11AM PT. If you aren't able to make the big event or you have another character that needs the Transit Stones, Mundus Stones, Skyshards, Dolmans, or World Bosses be sure to join us. With the success of these events so far I'm tempted to keep them going on some level even after the event series ends.

- Last Chance to Preorder Summerset and Get Morrowind Free
They are offering the ability to get Morrowind free with your preorder of Summerset. For those looking to catch up on the latest chapters of Elder Scrolls Online this is a great opportunity. Once it's released it will require separate purchases. I do plan to host a few new events in Summerset post launch so be sure to snag a copy.

- New Pairing on the Way
It's been 8 weeks since our last pairing. This week should be the magical week that we find ourselves paired with a new set of servers. My hope is that we end up in T2-3 and get the heck out of T4. I've found the T4 servers to be highly toxic, usually underpopulated, and filled with naysayers. Likely the reason they ended up in T4 to begin with. I too have felt the burn of this over the past 8 weeks and find myself having to force myself to login each week. I long for the epic battles of T2-3. That seems to be the sweet spot for GW2. So cross those fingers and lets hope we get paired up with a good bunch like Fort Aspenwood or Tarnished Coast. Those guys were fun to play with.

- More Changes to T4 WvW
As many of you know, T4 is kind of an evolving beast. The Return of Reckoning team has been actively playing with the mechanics to try to find the perfect format. They've combined T2-4 into one, have pairings that unlock by the scale of the available warforce, and now have implemented some new lord mechanics.

- The Tuatha Alliance Created
We've managed to charge our way forward and get our second Gaiscioch (T1) to rank 6 to get the alliance open and already have our first alliance guild join us. We have one more that wants to get involved as well. Moving forward however I think it's safe to bring the majority of our Gaiscioch T1 back into the Gaiscioch fold until we get to the 450 range of membership. This will help keep our name on the top of the LFG and help us continue to grow. Once we hit 450 characters we will activate Gaiscioch T1 and start pushing all new Gaiscioch T1 characters into there. All existing characters can stay in Gaiscioch. As we get over 490 we will start rotating characters based on when they were last logged in. If you need a Gaiscioch invite simply type "/3 Gaiscioch Invite Please" and someone who has the mod should auto invite you.

- Bless Online
For those of you looking to play on the Hieron side of Bless Online I plan to create a guild named Arach Dubh as a Social Adventure upon release. Being GSCH is forbidden in most Korean games as it is apparently profinity of some sort we will be running by a unique name which means Black Dragons. I plan to stream a short event every week Sunday mornings from 11-1PM PT upon release and welcome anyone who would like to join to feel free to come out and have some fun. This is going to be low key and recreational and I do not intend to make it a big thing. If you’re looking for a more full time guild but still want to hang out with us on sundays feel free to type +rank Bless in discord to unlock and join the channel.

- I Swear It's Almost Done
This has to be the roughest issue i've ever made. It's been a nightmare. I've got more excuses than Kmart has blue light specials, but in the end the responsibility and accountability falls entirely on me. I just haven't made the time necessary to get it all wrapped up and done. I've been so bombarded by so many things I've let my commitment to the magazine slip and for that I apologize. Good news is we have a cover :D, and about 75% of the magazine laid out.
- The Road Ahead
Next issue we move to our new Web Only view and will likely have a new web based layout for the magazine that will automatically generate based on the articles available. I have been prototyping some concepts using CSS Regions, Multi-Column Layouts and Flexbox. These are all very new tech and some browsers don't support them all yet. But I've always liked the cutting edge and have looked for a reason to create the next gen magazine experience so for the next few months I plan to reinvent Gaiscioch Magazine and how it works. Our next issue will be entirely distributed over time as the articles become available and automatically become part of the digital magazine that will be found on our site. We are targeting 1 Cover Story, 2 Feature Stories, Several Chapter Stories (Guides, Fiction, Interviews, Etc), 2-4 Previews, 2-4 Reviews, and 2-5 Life/Inspiration articles for each issue.

- HoL's WvW Fight Group
It's been over a year since I could join GSCH in WvW combat. We won some good fights this past Saturday. I notice Pookha has refined his tactics by speaking softly and carrying a big stick. Looking forward to more good fights in the next two months while JQ is linked with SoR.
