Don't miss this opportunity to help raise money for the Children's Miracle Network and be part of a really fun gaming marathon.
- Zenimax Knocks it Out of the Park
Holy hell Morrowind is good. I got hands on with Morrowind on the PS4 thanks to a early access review key from Zenimax and have to say it brings back so many wonderful memories of TES III. This expansion has really raised the bar for Elder Scrolls Online. This is a living testament that even when things go terribly wrong out the gate, the game isn't done until the devs quit. ESO has made a wonderful transition from the game it was to the epic game it is now. Be sure to check out Morrowind when you get the chance you won't be disappointed.

- Home with Henge of Denravi
Thank you all for coming out to WvW tonight. It was a lot of fun. Hope to see you all again next week.
- Onslaughts
was another fun night running with the guild. Thanks Fog.

- Community Event: An Onslaught of Onslaughts!
Fog and the family gathered for our weekly Community Event. This week's adventure was Onslaughts!
Onslaughts are an open world event that you can trigger by charging up cannons and life wells. This draws planar invasions for you to dps down for xp, pa and loots...
- Syl Zone Event Boss Runs
Syl helped a number of the family get some Colossi kills done for the eterneal weapon quest. The zone events are also nice for dropping Tower Fragments.
-Getting to the zone, locating the bulk of the group can be helpful in getting to the bosses in time...
- Sharpening the Ax: Q&A with DC - Gear, Stats, Rotations, Planars Fragments...
It is easy to get into a rut on a game your are comfortable with. You go to the places you always go, you do the things you always like to do...and there is nothing wrong with that. However, if you aren't progressing because you are not confident in your build, your dps, your rotation, your gear, instance/dungeon/raid mechanics or generally don't want to make a fool of yourself...
- Varder's Disapperance during the crifting run
First off, thanks to everyone for coming and to whoever took over the reigns after I disconnected. I got hit with an A.R.P. bomb. Address Resolution Protocol, that wiped my DNS file. I couldn't log on to the internet until I reset my DNS designations...
- After Action Review: Sunday Morning Crifting with Varder and the gang.
After Action Review: Sunday Morning Crifting with Varder and the gang. Big Thanks to coleader Zoewii for keeping us on track and getting the event updated! Woot!
26 Crafting Rifts Closed!
-Starting at 7am server time sharp, the family formed up to open...
- Old School Dungeon Crawl
DC had us rolling like a freight train, picking up Guildies who needed to gear up or even their first trip into an Prophecy of Anhket Experts AKA SPE's.
Today was tank training day. We systematically went through each fight with two tanks to learn the mechanics...
- After Action Review: TD Progression Group
The family, lead by the patient and intrepid Eluveittie tackled a coffee fueled Tantric Depths (TD) run. This was a great experience for me personally as I had not even been in the instance and was intimidated to try because of the LFR post in Cross Chat like "TD No Losers 500K+ dps or kill yourself"...
- Guild vs Pug Runs: A Knight and Dai difference!
Guild Runs vs Pug Runs:
The advantages of running instances such as Prophecy of Ahnket with Guild members vs Pugs can completely change your perspective of the activity. There are many nuances such as routes, order, roles, interrupts, where to stand, where to move, when to blow cool downs and even simple things like "who's going to rez" get worked out by the team through practice...
- Prophecy of Ankhket Expert Runs Guild Style
DC aka Fiveofseven/Diablotcanine lead an intrepid marathon of Expert with guildies.
A few of the finer points when you do DC blitz runs:
1. In Darkening Deeps - Run to the Bottom - Kill the Sniper mobs on the ledges - Kill the mobs that mass under the bridge - Burn bosses - Run all the way to the back wall of the Werewolf encounter, avoid drawing aggro - Run through the spiders all the way to the boss spider at the end, die in place SW and Rez - Stack on boss spider's behind - Drag all the slugs through their area all the way into the triple boss area, kill in tank order - Burn Scarn

- Crifting We Go
Was a great turnout for the June 18th run. 19 Guild members participated and we completed 30 crifts in right at 2 hours. Thanks all for the chance to lead, I had a lot of fun doing it.

- A-Crifting we will go...
Varder lead the Gaiscoch family through Ashenfell for a fun and loot filled 2 hours of Crifting!
We closed a whopping 30 rifts of all types!
There was great communication and support through using the Heart icon to mark the next Lure bearer after the 3rd stage of each lift...
- Friday Mid level Adventures: Don't forget to say HI to Lady Nessie!
The Dendrome offers several activities that the Gaiscioch family tackled this Friday. We had a full 40 person raid for this outing and with Fog laying down waypoints it was a great time and thing flowed right along! As always great help from the group for summons and great cooperation!
Stronghold Raid: These encounters pit the raid against an escalating group of baddies that attack from multiple levels...
- Gaiscioch runs
love running with Fog as leader, not sure how he keeps up to date on which quests... where they are... which bosses to kill... but he always helps us get them done. Always fun to run with him when he's leding...
- First For Me
I had just logged on and was invited to the party! I did not know what was going on, but for a few hours we ran around and closed everything we could find. I didn't know it was an "event" I just knew that I had joined the greatest guild and was having a great time.
- First For Me
- Planar Anchors: A group XP boon and a fun time in one!
Following the Monday evening tradition, friends and family of Gaischioch took to Xarth Mire for a guided tour of the Planar Anchor mini-quest hubs. This group event allows the team to gather significant XP and Planar Attunement as well as respectable take of crafting mats and Planar loot...
- First time commanding
6th of June, 2017 changes were good for WvW. Now there are more players running even though many of the players are just hunting pips for reward tracks so they can earn WvW Claim Tickets and some day buy necessary pieces for WvW Legendary Backpiece...
- First run through Craglorn Catacombs
The reports of an "undead 'infestation'" in Craglorn Catacombs have been greatly exaggerated. Nothing to see here, move along.
- A dishonourable failure....
Mounted a suicide charge.
Failed to die properly -- even took the keep!
- HOLY COW FOGMAN
ZIFF-POW-BAM Look at those points. That is the most points for any single event I have ever participated in. Fog do you remember any other event that generated that many points?

- The future in retrospect.
As a returning player after a 4 year hiatus, I'm extremely happy with the welcome that I've received from the Gaiscioch family in Rift.
I've tinkered with a few other games before deciding to come back to Rift specifically and with the exploration of the two expansions there has been a lot of cool content to play through but it's been the player base that has got me interested in staying!
If you are a returning player, please pm in game for any help or even if you want a 'grinding' buddy!
Good to be back!

- Tragic / Funny / Sad
I started playing on-line games with a small silly game called Rubies of Eventide. I was so excited, not just about the game and how it works, but the tech. Texting and playing with people from all over, at my desk, on my computer...
- The Story of Sindarin Oakheart
The streets were chaos. People running frantically away from the commotion. Explosions shook the stone houses of Ebonhawke.
Riots had broken out among the stalls of Kestrel Market.
A man clad in fine silks with sharp, intelligent eyes and black hair yelled to a woman on the other side of the table laden with goods...
