Gaiscioch Community News July, 2015
- July 2015 Gaiscioch Family Summit Livestream
This month’s family summit will be held on July 11th at 5PM Pacific. It will be viewable on YouTube or Twitch during the broadcast and YouTube after the broadcast. This month we will cover some E3 News, build a plan for Guild Housing in Guild Wars 2, and have a live Q&A session. Be sure to bring your questions even if you don't wish to voice them.
- July 2015 Gaiscioch Event Leaders Meeting
Sorry for the past few months of leader meetings. Life has been a bit chaotic with my daughter being here and traveling. I'm hoping we can get back on schedule this month and hold our monthly meeting on July 27th at 5PM Pacific. If you are interested in helping us plan our monthly scheduled event lineup please plan on being there if at all possible. I want to start planning some bigger events this fall and want to start brainstorming some ideas.
- July 2015 Elder Scrolls Online Chapter Update
Just like in Guild Wars 2 our typical summertime lull has made itself apparent. We've seen a slight decrease in numbers and active players as we expected and made note of last issue. Typically we see between at 15% and 30% reduction in activity during the months of June - September so don't be alarmed if numbers dip a bit. I suspect as Fall approaches and the next patch grows near we'll be seeing a slight increase in numbers.
- The Siege War Livestream Coming to Elder Scrolls Online in August
I'm looking to return to leading events by bringing the Siege War to ESO every other Thursday night come August if anyone cares to join me. They will likely be between 5pm and 8pm PT and be focused in Cyrodiil. I may rotate them around between the vet campaigns and non vet campaigns to try to gain some followers in the process. It likely will be a mix of PvE and PvP. Be sure to read the August Ceannard Notes for all the details.
- July 2015 Guild Wars 2 Chapter Update
As expected we saw our typical June reduction in activity, however activity is slightly less of a drop than it was last year at this time. This could be due to the influx of new members and or the release of expansion news bringing more people back to the game. Regardless we're doing much better than last year at this time and activity seems to be stable.
- Oh my! Guild Upgrade Maximus!
Ok if you were not paying attention over the past month to Guild Wars 2 news announcements there has been some major movement on the Guild System front. While I can't possibly place everything in these notes what I can do is link their news posts and give you some highlights.
- July 2015 Gaiscioch Magazine Update
July marks the end of our Content Creation phase and the start of our Editorial Phase. At this point all stories should be in and placed in the Ready to Proof folder. Our Editors will proof read each story and move it to the Proofed Once folder where our Senior Editors will make a final pass through the stories. Editorial Deadline is July 15th and everything needs to be ready for production no later than the 15th. This month we will hold our Magazine Team meeting on the 6th at 5PM Pacific.
- Looking for Online Magazine Production Assistant
I'm looking for 1 or 2 people who would be willing to work with me closely to import our magazine articles from Google Drive to the Gaiscioch Magazine site. Your role would be ensuring formatting remains the same for the text and working directly with me to schedule the articles to go out over the 3 month period the next magazine is in production. This is mostly a copy and paste job and I can work with you on how to format things. Once the articles are imported and scheduled I will go back through them and place all art and video as necessary. A multi-screen workspace is highly recommended so that you can compare magazine to online version with ease. This is a volunteer position.
- July 2015 Livestream Schedule
This month marks our 4th month of streaming. We've seen some pretty good gains in viewers and we've even managed to be hosted by a few game developers while we were streaming. Once we pass 1,000 subscribers I plan to start doing some giveaways on the air. But we've still got a ways to go before we get to that level. This month we thought it would be good to show some "Family Games" as most of us have young ones home with us for the summer. So here's our livestream schedule for July 2015.
- Be Safe, Make Memories
As the summer progresses and fourth of July rolls around it's important to remember to be safe. I know explosions are fun but they also cause fires and missing fingers. Be safe out there.
- Trial run of Troll's Revenge
Thanks for coming out to this impromptu event. Everyone came staggering in at different times, so we spent a while porting around to get all 4 keys, but I am glad that we were able to finish the achievement for so many this time around...
- 2nd BBQ was One Epic Fight
@ for 1 started out like it normally does but with a bit more tension in the air then normal. First run was a fail with the zerg not coming together and people not moving in to melee as needed. That said it wasn't a bad run...
- From SoR to GoM and Kaineng Great Monday Night Fights
Great effort tonight and good comm's all around in fights on GoM Kaineng and SoR defense. Well will try next time to get some groups set a bit earlier in the event with a front line back line next time...
- Quiet but deadly
This was my first event as a GSCH guild member. (I don't count the SORC Guild Missions.)
Very quiet group, but everyone was competent and we made it through in good time with a hiccup at only one boss...
- My first Guild Missions with [GSCH]
That was an awesome run. Hadn't ever done GM with that many people before. Different experience and so trouble free. :)
Here is a couple photos : http://i.imgur.com/9kCmRY2.jpg & http://i.imgur.com/l9Fl029...
- We took Black Boot!
In an effort to sway the AD away from attacking EP camps, we took Black Boot, and pushed the gate. While some of us breeched the gate, we did not make it to the scroll. However, diverting their attention to another campaign, EP was able to take the scroll with little resistance...
- Dagger's, KONG, and a host of SoR take fight to GoM
Thank You Dagger's Tonight, for a bit, I was back in Tier one. Off the start with BP occupying GoM on Hills we grabbed Bay!
Then Camps and the SW Tower, then great defense, and back to Hills as BP was on GoM's Garri ( More on that in a bit) then SE Tower and camps and a great defense of Bay...
- Reposting Non Vet Selene's Web 4 runs.
I accidentally mislabeled this mornings non vet runs as Elden Hollow. For those that ran with me earlier, please claim the correct run for participation credit. Thank you :)
- Hide and Seek for GOLD was a TREMENDOUS success!!!
What a day! So much fun was had as ALL of Tyria was ransacked to find Smitty as he hid anywhere and everywhere! Prizes were quite rich... 100 Gold per game!
We all started off in Gendarran Fields to prepare for the festivities...
- Gaiscioch on the Attack on BP and GoM BL
Summertime has brought a familiar and a new opponent to SoR for this weeks reset. While a great effort had us tied with GoM last week we fell behind with there last day push. This is a very close match this week and I want to thank you all for putting up with getting a commander on VERY short notice...
- A 20 Slot Bag!
Huzzah!!!
Thank you all for coming out with me for the Uncanny Canner Collection achievement and I hope that you put the 20 slot bag that you earned for completion to good use. There were a few people that missed the event, or came too late to catch up easily, so I posted a detailed guide for you to be able to finish it on your own (or grab some friends and do it together)...
- Persistance Prevails
Last night was a first veteran dungeon venture for CrazyRoyal and Mairel, and I am glad to say a successful one.
It took a bit of adjustment to ease into our party but by the time we reached High Kinlord Rilis, we had a good method and rhythm to our pulls and group dynamic...
- Daggers defend then move on Kaineng and Gate of Madness and EBG!
Great night of strong defense and working well on multiple maps. Led to recapture Stone mist Castle and several towers and camps on EBG, while attacking on both Kaineng BL and Gates of Madness BL. Thak you all for the great event and loads of bags I have to sift through every night...
Our leader has a way to include fun in all she does. I had a blast. She helped me (first time I had ever been to silverwastes) know how to beat bosses and get lots of loot! I will try to join any event she leads in the future. - very fun. great explanations by Lakshmi
- Wonderful way to get back into WvW
Thank you all for joining me for my first WvW event in a week or two, it was a great time to be out again running with our guild and it was a very nice surprise to have so many people show up. Thanks to Jay for tagging up and carrying on after I tagged down, hope you had fun with all the omega golems that we built...
- Beginning PvP
Thank you for coming out to join me for PvP, it was very basic matches, the mechanics of the maps and making points as well as reward tracks and influence. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. I will be adding another class with further instructions and dealing more with builds and strategy in a couple of weeks...
- Never in 1000 attempts
Diving googles:
Never would I have ever gotten this achievement. Would never have known where it was. Would have never completed the jumping puzzle part. Would have never hit the water correctly.
If not for Lakshmie, Jay and and all the guildies helping out...
always love going on this event. i have so much fun. - Vaults of..... falling to your death?!
I probably fell to my death no less than 5 times this most recent run. But thanks for letting me come along anyway! :)
- We got a little side tracked
Well, we started off tinkering with the Heirloom Toy Box and opening the Wintersday skins for the Wintersday Toy Collection achievement. After that we happily played with the Maize Balm bombs to collect trick-or-treat bags in Bloodtide Coast & Fields of Ruin for the Tricks and Treats collection Achievement...
- Star's Havoc takes SMC!
A great night again with our small havoc group! We made sure to refresh siege through out the run and had eyes on our home borderland at all times. A lot of the night was spent defending, retaking the camps that kept getting hit, and fights...
- Thanks for running all these Verve
- GW2 - Uncanny Canner Collection
Collect all 11 jarred trinkets from vendors around Tyria
Reward: 3 Achievement Points and an Uncanny Jar (20 slot bag)
Jars:
Lightning Jar (Fine). Purchased from Researcher Ahjj next to Artergon Waypoint in Metrica Province for 154 karma...
- Changes to AvA
With the upcoming changes to ESO PvP, I believe it's time for the guild to officially choose a Home and Guest campaign. If you're wondering what's coming, read this:

- A little too quiet?
By the title, I mean me. I haven't been writing much lately, about excursions and skirmishes. I probably should be, but I haven't. I've been working at my friend's office while his assistant is on vacation...
