This is what it must feel like to be competent So, tired again so not going to put a lot of effort into this:
I was trying to figure out what to play tonight because there was a rift event and this gw2 event. The gw2 event sounded like you had to actually be good at playing the game which made me hesitate...
Eluveittie Hope I spelled that correctly.... such patience and excellent direction and helpfulness on working this long involved Callweddi workshop. High five.... 3 times over.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Gives me a lot to look forward to during downtimes between Rift events and I won't drive my hubby so crazy when I can't sleep and am looking for something to do...
Telara Saga: Dousing The Wanton Menace We returned to Steppes of Infinity to face a new threat: The Wanton. Fiery rifts filled the skies, burning the horizon before us. The Dragon Cult from the Plane of Fire was in full force, attempting to blaze a path of destruction across an already bleak landscape...
RIFT Raiding Fun Run (March 6, 2017) It was the best of times.
It was the worst of times.
Well, the best time for Gaiscioch and friends and the worst for all those raid bosses who are now taking a little necro-nap. We ran through Greenscale's Blight (does that dragon ever learn?), River of Souls, and Infernal Dawn...
Wary ye traveler! This foe may teleport you! We were walking around when suddenly there was this monster! Our raid leader was like 'whoa traveler' and then we went to fly in to fight it. However instead of flying in I jumped to my death.
The rest of this story is just a fever death dream I had as my bloody bled out...
Low Level Zone Invasion Hunt (March 4, 2017) We traveled across Mathosia thwarting the seemingly unending invasions that plague Telara. However, this trip decided to take an odd turn. Water and Death rifts that spawned...FIRE invasions!? Are the planes working together against us now? Is the Blood Storm rising anew? Or was there just a glitch in the particular Water and Death rifts in Iron Pine Peak where we experienced this abnormality? We may never know...
Telara Saga: Confronting the Storm Legion Having held back the tide of invasions that were being unleashed across Brevane, Gaiscioch and friends gathered this week in Dusken to face the forces of Crucia which were blowing into the Steppes of Infinity...
6 months gone from such epic battles Much time has passed since I have partaken in wvw. Took a while to get bearings, but leader was awesome. I think we had 2 squads, one was a leading necro, there were GSCH tags everywhere.
It is so awesome to see...
Intrepid Fun Since the usual event in this timeslot would not be held, MtDewd stepped up and several of us had fun leveling some toons in the intrepid adventures.
MtDewd stepped up since Fog was out of town. Bresedeadh, Jessica. Roddalf and Treaa in various characters joined in and we slaughtered Hammerknell Fortress several times over. Great fun... Elaena had a good time and then popped over to get Emmeria and she gained level 66...
Kitty is the master of explaining fractals She takes the time to make sure everyone is on board, explains what is about to happen, coaches you during the chaos and then recaps the best way to do fractals afterward.
If university profs taught this well, the whole world would be wayyyyy smarter.
Callweddi I was only able to hear a tiny bit of Eluveittie's information on the Callweddi achievement, and hope to make it next week as he details additional info. Sounds like it will be a long run but I enjoy those types...
Low Level Zone Invasion Hunt (February 25, 2017) Piggyback rides on Volan! Or maybe we were just jumping on his head to kill him. Once again, we were the bane of invasions, rifts, and strongholds all across Telara! Gaiscioch and friends focused on the continents of Mathosia, Brevane, and Dusken in an effort to hold back the tide of planar problems that continue to wash over the lands...
Telara Saga: Hunting the Endless Court Death comes for us all.
Or is it that we all came for Death? Major rifts from the Plane of Death were vanquished all across the Dendrome as Gaiscioch and friends took up the banner of the Telara Saga...
Joining in on the fun ;) Thank you all for making me feel welcome to your events. Please know that anytime you see me, Elaenna - mage; or Ellette - cleric, and need help for anything... just send me a holler.
RIFT Raiding Fun Run (Feb. 20, 2017) Another successful night of conquering older raids, getting achievements, and just having some good tuatha fun! Our raid itinerary (in order) included:
Greenscale's Blight
River of Souls
Infernal Dawn
Full clears, but we did have a bit of a snafu with passing loot items through the raid so that everyone could unlock the appearances...
Low Level Zone Invasion Hunt Just a casual Saturday morning...
Shard hopping, jumping from zone to zone, mentoring appropriately, defeating invasions, closing rifts, and killing event bosses. You know, the simple things in Telaran life...
Telara Saga: The Great Abyssal Hunt So we closed water rifts in a desert and made it snow in a fire rift. Apparently...Telara has global warming, too. But seeing as we're engaged in tasks to enable us to make it to a giant comet hurtling towards the planet...
Ashenfell Major Rift Hunt Who said Ashenfell was just for the Plane of Fire? Major rifts from each of the planes invaded the zone and were quickly quelled by Team Gaiscioch! Guess the planes aren't so tough without their dragons...
RIFT Raiding Fun Run (Feb. 13, 2017) It was a night filled with big heads and silly hats in the 'ol Tyrant's Forge! (Thanks to the Hot Air Brew!) After an initial wipe on Johan to learn the mechanics, an accidental pull after resurrection and before healing put our skills to the test...
Telara Saga: Assaulting the Stronghold Because an epic event deserves epic poetry:
Twas the night of Telara Saga,
and throughout the Dendrome,
Ascended were gathered,
to protect Hailol's home.
With weapons and spells,
prepared in advance,
the strongholds were felled,
invasions given no chance!
Across northern Brevane,
enemies all met their ends,
the desert lands saved,
by Gaiscioch and friends...
Nightmare Rift Thankyou everyone to participated in this event today. Great job on getting to level 75 on the nightmare rift. This is only my 2nd week leading events and everyone has made this such a fun experience for me...
Telara Saga III - Chapter 0 Oh my! We had three raid groups, several out-of-family visitors, and minimal deaths (always a good thing). In one hour we closed multiple rifts, went on a hunt, took an Empyreal fortress, killed a monstrous dinosaur, and made a Hive Dive, killing one of the three big bosses that lurk there...
Raids are hard, ok? This event was a rollercoaster of emotions!
We were able to do the escort and defeat McLeod in the first try without much problem, but then we decided to poke the bear statue and take a few shots at the boss...
the hunt It was a fun afternoon hunting rifts and generally enjoying each others company thank you for leading your first event! may you have many more leading adventures in your future :)
Kitty is a great teacher! What an enjoyable learning experience for fractals. Kitty was patient, instructive, and witty. I've done fractals but not regularly but have not had some of them ever explained as completely as Kitty did last night...
Ryuko aka Ayamatta First of all thank you for allowing me to join.
Never got the invite to the guild but I think it was because I was having to much fun running, falling, building, being lost to notice the invite come...
Long Arm of the Light We ventured across almost every corner of Kryta valiantly bringing an end to the trouble of the 10 bandit leaders sought by the Shining Blade.
Recap of Endless Eclipse Under the guidance of Fog and DC Gaiscioch met Raid boss after Raid boss with success and cheese for the guild. My long time foe, Regulos was not allowed to escape, victory was ours!!!!!
Bloodfire Incursion Raid Rift The four of us intrepid guildees braved the wilds of Steppes of Infinity so Mononic could get his orders from Lady Glasyia. There was death and mayhem but we succeeded. Life is grand.
Fog's Intrepid Adventures Hammerknell will never be the same after last night. Fog bravely led his team through the mighty fortress despite disconnects, lag, and inability to log into voice chat. Thank you Fog for all that you do for us and for Rift...
Great time in Brisban Wildlands Great group today we started at Mrot Boru Waypoint and went west on the southern perimeter. Had lots of hearts, pois, waypoints and champions to fight today. We continued north all the way to the top perimeter and headed east...
Long learning session Big thanks to Bob who hung there for a million and half deaths. Berk and Trent for jumping in early on for hard fights and limited rewards. Mal and Jax for the late night dps and a hanging trough a lot of wipes and blind leadership...
Nightmare rifts We got to level 46 (I believe) on a level 4 nightmare rift and we got to level 75 on a level 1 nightmare rift as well as finishing the guild quest to kill nightmare rift creatures. Oh, and I had a lot of fun...
Short day but a lot accomplished Thank you all for understanding about Gma's sprained wrist issues. We finished Caledon Forest quickly today and Entered the northern half of Metrica. Managed to fight the Fire Elemental and do the pre event...
Forsaken Thicket - Stronghold of the Faithful, Escort Mission We escorted Glenna towards the Stronghold of the Faithful through waves of white mantle. Upon reaching the gate, we were greeted by a white mantle officer, McLeod The Silent. Using all of our brawn and wit together as a team, we put down Mcleod and broke through the gates...
Many Thanks! I ran my first guild raid tonight with Inosh as the raid leader... Everyone was SO welcoming, patient, courteous and FUN! I haven't been in a guild since shortly after vanilla because, well, I just couldn't find a family environment like the one that made playing WoW fun and friendly...
Watch Out for Holes! Yes, we were victorious in our Intrepid Adventures last night, but several of us also discovered that holes in the floor often lead to a swift but temporary death. We had great fun, and look forward to our next meeting in Rift!
