Zoewii Posted a Battle Recap: Fog puts the FUN in raiding
There may not be crying in baseball but there is definitely laughter in raiding - with Gaiscioch guildies. Hitting some old world raiding content gave our giggling group a run past some old baddies who have lost their bite. Achievements? Cha-ching! We wrapped up the evening with the cats, and chickens, and coyotes - oh my! Faelord Twyl was our final mirth-less mob who met his end and our happy heroes rejoiced.

Firinn Posted a Battle Recap: 3 Way Zerg Fight
The best moment of the evening was the three way zerg fight for Stonemist. Our group was barely holding their own, and quite honestly didn't seem to be able to come out on top, but our commander bravely stood in the middle striving to stay alive so that we could cap. By continually throwing our range damage, cc and heals on him, we came away with what can only be called a 'steal' of the objective. Immediately upon claiming stonemist we wiped both other zergs and claimed our surprising victory!

Zoewii Posted a Battle Recap: Knowing is half the battle
The only thing I try to stay away from more than puzzles - well, is maybe jump puzzles. But they draw me in, I'm just fascinated by them! Well, if you've ever struggled but would really like to learn, then this workshop and Eluveittie's knowledge and tremendous patience is for you. There are tips and tricks a-plenty as well as step-by-step instructions (did I mention patience??) at times to help even the novice (me!) make it through. A must attend, to tackle Tok's.

Zoewii Posted a Battle Recap: A nightmare before bed
A nightmare raged in Tarken Glacier with a small band of Telara's heroes standing in its path. Fritzl and Teicneo knew if they wanted to banish the nightmare for good, they needed to send a signal to the Gaiscioch. Hoisting the banner and blowing the horn of fellowship, our brave souls stood bravely and awaited a reply. Without fail, more Gaiscioch champions arrived to raise sword, staff, dagger, and fist to banish the malicious corruption invading the tundra. Our defenders conquered... until next the nightmare returns.

Kitty Posted a Battle Recap: Kitty is back to TESO! Yippie!!
So I logged my character, which is level 50 and there is a weird colorful number going up after a bar fills, so far I have like 70ish of these colorful numbers, they are red, blue and green, no clue what they do. I tried my best to remember my AvA nights with Fog from like two or three years ago, then I remembered the crown thingie was super important and that I should never leave it's side, I also teleported around a bunch because we had to close... Rifts? Doritos? Dolmens!! That spit enemies and are basically a shiny circle piñata full of goodies and shinies! We also poked our collective heads inside dungeons, waited for bosses to be back from lunch break to play patty-cake with them, touched shiny Sky-ShaaaaaaaaaaaRRRRrrddddddDds to get even more skillpoints that I have no clue where to add :3 Overall, tons of fun! Henry was fantasticly patient with me and my perpetual Noobie-tude :3 10/10 will run with them again!!

Zoomzoom Posted a Battle Recap: GREAT NEW ADVENTURE FOR ME !
Having never done a big even in heart of thrones, this was tons of fun. I appreciate that Smitty laid out EXACTLY what was needed in advance (aka need gliding, and where the starting point was). Jay was generous in offering to help get me to the proper waypoint prior to the even starting. Discord was invaluable again in communicating. Was a fun adventure !

WilliamBrandis Posted a Battle Recap: 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. The other event was rift and I basically wrote a macro that plays my character in that game so figured that would be easy. But then I wanted to make a level 1 rogue and level it in wvw because....I don't know why actually I just thought that would be a good idea...

WilliamBrandis Posted a Battle Recap: The one in which we fail to take any keeps and Fog would rather be playing GRW which looks like to be an awesome
I'm tired so brief recap - Fog: "I have literally the worst people ever possible playing this game following me right now. There is no way I can take a base. I mean, maybe if the enemy is already dead. But probably not even then. Someone else is going to have to tag up and go fight these guilds. Because my group sucks. I can't stress just how much it sucks. Like, we're talking black hole here. The light of my life has been drained into this vortex of emptiness that is this group. So yeah, basically we can't take those keeps...

Elaenna Posted a Battle Recap: 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. LOL.... he's a sweetheart and tries not to holler at me too much as I chatter his ears off at 3 a.m. ;) Sometimes as I try to make sure to grant event leaders Valor points it doesn't always let me 'remark' on how I felt the leader did so I hope its ok to do it here...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: 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. Our orders were clear, though: Defeat the leaders of this army and extinguish the conflagration of their march. Amidst the cacophony of chaos, Gaiscioch and friends stood strong to try and quell this heated incursion! (In-ferno-cursion?) Scorching Fire's charring zerg Conflagrations doth ignite...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: 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. Then we took on two of the Bindings of Blood raid instances. Success all around! (For us, not them.) Speaking of them, they seemed to have a common trait. Most of them were dragons. So many dragons! Just dragons, dragons, dragons, and more...

WilliamBrandis Posted a Battle Recap: 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. For about 2 hours we threw ourselves at this creature trying to figure out to break it, when in the second hour we realized that this creature could teleport you!! This caught everyone by surprise - how could this be possible?! What's more, is the teleporting may have been linked to some red circles...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: 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. But we did get a whole bunch of achievements for our efforts! So all is well.

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: 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. Defeating Planarchs, rifts, and invasions alike; the Storm Legion was quelled and Forts Brevo and Antapo secured from planar threats. Yet another successful event and enjoyable evening for all participants! And since our focus was on Air...I figured a poem as equally light and breezy: a haiku! Like a mighty wind, Storm Legion charge Ascended, victory is ours...

Zoomzoom Posted a Battle Recap: 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. With such great numbers, and being new to the map, I would occasionally get disoriented but it was always easy to find squad members to get going again. Eventually I started hearing call outs to those familiar places "Hills" or "Bay", and was able to enjoy the onslaught ! The hills battle was down right hilarious as we were out numbered but got lucky as red and blue battled it out with one another as we took over the keep and then managed to hold it as a large 3 way battle broke out...
