Usual meetings, Monday and Tuesday nights. 6 PM Eastern. Looks like nothing special is on. No events etc.

Have to take Mrs Acadian to an appointment which will conflict so looks like I'm gonna miss this one.

Edit: Looks like I won't be taking Mrs Acadtian to her appointment. . . just tested positive for covid. Still probably won't make the NA guild meeting.

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear it, Acadian. I hope you have a swift recovery! We will miss you!


I might be late Tuesday, depending on traffic. Will be on EU tonight.

Oh, no. Plenty of rest and hot drinks, and I hope you recover quickly!

As for EU: I'm hoping to make it, but an issue has come up, so I might very well be late (not quite sure how late) and knackered, as I'm thinking it might be between Half Eleven and Midnight before I actually get home. We'll see.

Picture, or it didn't happen.

Grits got disconnected tonight, and we lost Jerric for a while ... but not his lantern.

As amusing as it was, it would have been way freakier if it had happened in a couple of weeks time when the Witches' Festival is on!

I'm not sure when the next attunable stations will be needed, so I popped a set into the guild bank for mALX on the NA server and mailed a set to ghastley on EU. Thank you both for our guild halls!

Attuning will require access to the new crafting locations in the East half, so it depends on when phase 3 happens, and on whether the character doing it has to complete any quests to be allowed through the wall. I am trying to find out on PTS, but it is not at all clear.

With the recent bugs letting players cross prematurely, I get worried I would attune them, and then lose them to a hotfix, too.

Oh how sweet!!!! Thank you so very much!!! I haven't figured out how we get to them yet. I did the main quest for Solstice, but it ended at "Help the Fellowship." Yesterday I saw a big hole in the Writhing Wall on the NA server, but still couldn't go through it. Not really sure why it was there or if it was showing the Wall was about to come down. The Writhing Wall thing was only at 81 though; and I think it has to be at 100 for us to get through it.

I thought crossing into it was Phase 2, does anyone know more about how this is going to be done?








Gaaaaah, never thought of that, but as a matter of fact they DID reset my (having discovered and used for several days) access to the Wayshrine at the Rampart Camp. I had to "re-find" it.

It was a bug, some players had managed to get to the other side of the wall before they were supposed to, hence why there was yet another maintenance today (along with fixing the Tales of Tribute leader board. Which I didn't even realise was a thing )



Oh, how I love your optimism. When we finish Phase 1, we go into Phase 2, which adds more crafting dailies, a world boss, and harder siege fights. When that's over we move to Phase 3, which is a one off event to bring down the wall. When that's completed we get access to the other side. I'd guess Phase 2 will finish when the consoles get Update 48 on November 12th, so then everybody (PC and Console) will get access to the week long event and unlocking the other side around the same time.

Oh, ok = Thank you for clearing that up, I kept thinking when we reached 100 we would get through the wall, fight for a tower, then go get those tables and Phase three would be some extra stuff like dailies on the other side of the Wall or something. Yeah, just dreaming here, lol.

PTS has already moved on to post-phase-3 state. A character apparently needs to do the Western Solstice quests before they can get through, even after the wall is down in general, so I'll make sure Fleur has that all done beforehand, maybe run all my EU characters through it.

I tried to do the Eastern side quest line on PTS, but hit a progress-stopping bug about half-way through.

I have two full sets of tables now, so don't need any more if there are only two sets on the other side of the Writhing Wall.

Guild meetings Monday and Tuesday nights. Clocks should have changed both sides of the pond, so usual time, now standard, not daylight.

Where we get our plunder skulls presumably depends on numbers attending.

Is Grits back yet from travels and surgery?

As for where to go....weeeeellllll...I've made my first tank, so wouldn't mind trying him out. Plus it'll mean you can switch to a DPS for a change!

(Unless it turns out I utterly suck at tanking, in which case I reserve the right to switch back to DPS'ing post haste )

I made some new characters, too. The XP boost makes this a good time for it. Plus I wanted a clone of Seryn, for screenshots etc. so Therynne is her new thithter, and has unlocked Isobel ready for some fun.

I'm back with my foot in a contraption, and I plan to be at both guild meetups. Plunder, plunder, plunder, woo!!

Update: my daughter is coming over to walk Rosie and have dinner, so I will probably be late to both meetings.

Had something pending that has been resolved now, so Buffy and I are planning on being at the NA meeting on Tuesday.
