Sweet, although sad to see that Acadian and Buffy won't make it.

So mALX and (most likely) Lopov will make it. Anyone else? If it turns out to be just Pact characters coming, maybe some Battlegrounds and Cyrodiil is in order? That way Lopov can learn some of the ropes if he wants to get more involved, or if anybody needs to discover some locations, etc. And hopefully, if we go to Cyrodiil, the Dominion and Covenant gates will be open so we grab the skyshards deep in those territories.

EDIT: Just to be clear, Battlegrounds does NOT require everyone to be the same Alliance, even though it gives experience to Alliance War skills and Alliance Points. I was talking more about Cyrodiil (or even Imperial City, if anyone is up for that), which WILL require being of the same Alliance if we want to group up.

I expect to bring Clark, who may or may not have hit level 50. He's currently 41, but gaining levels rapidly. has finally reached level 50.

Of course, as soon as he's L50, he gets the full 810 CP, and needs a new outfit, so timing is everything. If he's in the middle of that transition, it might be another character. Laurie made him Hunding's, and the glyphs to enchant it. He's collected his own Spriggan's pieces, and picked a shoulder out of the Undaunted storage, and a random decent helmet. He's in a fit state to go chase Vigor in a Battleground, if that's what we decide, or else help with dungeons or WB's.

Battlegrounds and dungeons are 4-player content, so a lot depends on numbers. We usually do a WB blitz if there's more than four. Or a house tour!

I may be on closer to 5:15, but we'll see. So we'll start out at my Sleek Creek House and go from there.

I'm down for some BGs. Maybe we can venture into Cyrodiil or the IC as well if anybody has some content they want to do there (and hopefully I can retrieve that last skyshard in Cyro from near the Altadoon Temple). Or some other group-oriented content such as Craglorn (although mALX said she hates that area so I don't want to make her go).

Whatever it is, I am open to a bunch of ideas.

From the looks of things, it will be me, mALX, Lopov, and ghastley, IIRC. Anyone else?

Technically; I don't hate Craglorn at all = just can't solo any of the group areas/dungeons/etc. I actually used to love Craglorn before they changed it (to how it is now). It used to be just a gorgeous wild zone and a lot of fun (though extremely tough) before they turned it into a "group" zone. Before that I died a lot; but LOVED exploring it anyway. They kind of ruined the ambiance of the place (imho).

It was a highly successful and fun guild meet yesterday.

Since Lopov had little time, he (Shonta Quassan) along with ghastley (Clark of Gweden) and I (Cincinnatus of Lilmoth) did a short housing tour, starting off at my Sleek Creek House and then visiting several of ghastley's haunts (ba-dum-tss). We also got to teach Lopov a bit about Battlegrounds, so hopefully next time he'll get to join us.

After he had to leave, ghastley and I jumped into a couple rounds of BGs. Capture the Relic did not go well even though we got a score early (and my first captured relic), but Chaosball went extremely well. I was able to capture the Chaosball quite a lot, even one time swooping in at the last second when an enemy team killed a different enemy team's ball carrier and taking it for myself. One of our teammates did a fantastic job of protecting us whenever we got the ball, racking up a whopping 32 KILLS!

During that match, mALX finally got in touch with us and Dagoth-Malan joined us. Unfortunately, Dagoth could not also play BGs with us since he is not CP yet, and he and Clark were trying to level up their Alliance skill levels to get Vigor. So instead they went Skyshard hunting in some Public Dungeons, with Cincy along to speed up the killing of enemies and getting some XP of his own toward CPs (Cincy and I had finished hunting for all of the vanilla zones' public dungeon achievements, so he had that handled). Dagoth needed some XP of his own to get to CP, but Clark was already there.

For the last 2 or so hours (up to 12:30 AM EST!), the three of us just hung out and talked about all sorts of topics. A lot of variety and a lot of fun times, therefore, were had throughout the evening/night.

EDIT: I'll try to bring out my other characters at least once next guild meet.

[Lopov]

It was fun, I agree! Unfortunately I needed to leave early because by the time the meeting started, it was in my timezone already 11 PM, and I needed to go to work on Saturday, which I often do. If I lived alone, I could use Discord as you do, but unfortunately I can't use it, else my family would wake up.

Nonetheless, Shonta Quassan has been invited to some spacious posh homes in regions he hasn't yet visited before. As usual, we took some screenies:

At Cincy's

Sparring

Three's a company - I needed to be quick in pressing PrintScr, because Cincy kept running and jumping around. Clark wasn't a problem, he was politely standing in one place. As soon as the screenie was taken, Ciny already ran away.

Leaving early

[mALX]

Oh, great shots of the Guild Meet! I'm so sorry I missed getting to see Shonta; I was late getting there!


Okay; I bought another Lot of Furniture Crafting Plans last night at the Auction; they are in the Guild Bank = so please @Everyone grab them up!

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Oops, forgot about getting pictures of the guild meeting. Sorry for running around so much while you were screenshotting, Lopov. I guess Cincy was just really energetic then.

I did get the final score of the Chaosball match ghastley and I played in though. Racking up them wins.

[Grits]

It looks like a fun time was had at the Guild Meet! I wish I could have been there. Thank you for sharing the pics!

Congrats on your BG success, Rader and ghastley!

mALX, Rhano picked up some more of those plans and also did some stacking, so there should be a bit more room in the bank again. Thank you for the recipes! It seems that Rhano is a compulsive organizer. Lol.

Nice! Do we have an "Applause" emote? Good job!

Oh, I am so glad you were able to use some of them! I really hope they get used up!

Thanks for the guild meeting summary and great pix! Sorry Buffy and I were unable to make it.

[haute ecole rider]

So sorry I had to miss the meet again. I tend to work most Fridays so it’s hard to be in two places at once!

Anyways, I wanted to remind everyone of the Third Annual Winter Solstice Open House to be held on the 21st (yikes! That’s a week away!). Is everyone up for having it at Pariah’s again? Or do you want it held in warmer climes? I have several homes as yet undecorated that can be done up for the season.

Thoughts anyone?

Sorry I'll be missing this. I'll be over in England, away from the internet, and I haven't trained my characters to do it on their own.

[Grits]

I should be free all day, so Jerric's crew can all come! Any place will be great with your fabulous hospitality. I vote for whichever of your homes you want to decorate.

Sorry we will miss you, ghastley!

[Acadian]

The 21st is on Buffy's dance card! We are looking forward to it, Rider, and second Grits in having it wherever best suits you - our gracious hostess.

[Lopov]

Shonta Quassan and his flaming salamander might show up on the 21st.

WOO HOO!!!! I absolutely LOVE your parties; most especially your Saturalia/Christmas/Winter Solstice party is my favorite!

The venue doesn't matter to me; you are the best and most gracious Hostess in Tamriel (so no matter where you hold your parties they will always be wonderful and memorable for everyone attending!!!) I will be there for sure!!!

I really want to start plowing through group content soon if possible. I've experienced most of the "major" content in all the other zones, with the exception of most of the major points of interest in Northern and Southern Elsweyr and a few in Vvardenfell. Obviously, there are plenty of other quests and achievements to get, and then I still have some WBs in DLC zones to get. But there is a lot in Craglorn and the vast majority of regular group dungeons to do.

I did complete Fungal Grotto I, which was fairly easy. But Fungal Grotto II is impossible--and it wasn't a matter of skill when I stopped, but the first real boss (which I believe I met in the dungeon's first iteration) has an ability that holds you down and you need other players to kill the little minions that chain you.

I've done a little research into what group dungeons are possible solo, and it seems like there are a fair amount of "Mark I" dungeons that can be done this way, but obviously the vast majority are going to be impossible for one player.

So...is anyone up for ransacking a bunch of group content in the near future?


-------------------------------------------------------


Also down for some Battlegrounds again. I saw @mALX get CP810 with Dagoth-Malan, so there won't be level restrictions like before. I have rank 10 in the Alliance War skills now, but I'd be glad to join others who want to level their AW ranks up.

Guild meeting this Friday (Jan 3) and Buffy expects to make it.

We may want to start tossing out ideas and getting an idea of how many guildies to expect.

Spindleclutch I and City of Ash I are two of the pledges that day and Buffy is comfortable with either on normal. The downside of pledges, of course, is that they limit group size to 4. So some other ideas would be great to have on the table.

Anyone who wants to lead us around to some WBs that they need might be fun for example.

Of course, dancing and sipping wine is also nice.

I really would love to get some of the WB's off my map; even Misa needs some of them.
