Gaiscioch Community News July, 2019
- Calling all Discord Nitro Subscribers!
Discord recently created a new system called the Discord Boost system. Each Nitro subscriber gets 2 boosts every month that they can put toward channels of their choice. Getting boosts unlocks more features for the channel. Here's a look at some of the features:
- PAX WEST is a Go!
For those of you heading to Seattle for PAX West 2019 we will be rallying Saturday Night at Fado's Irish Pub from 6 - 8PM PT. Feel free to stop in for a pint and to say hi. This year at PAX West we might even sit on a Panel! I have been working with Garrett Fuller of MMORPG and GameSpace to put together a panel for this year's PAX. If all goes well, I might learn the ropes from the master and be able to pitch a panel next year. Maybe even get a regular "Gaiscioch Magazine" hosted dev discussion :D. This year I wanted to see how it's done, learn the ins and outs and then prepare for the next one. I will be sure to keep you up to date if our panel is accepted.
- Gaiscioch Secures it's old Justin.tv name on Twitch.tv!
After more than 7 years, the name Gaiscioch was finally released from our old Justin.tv account and we were able to adopt in on our Twitch.tv account. So now our name is easier than ever to find. Be sure to update your bookmarks and follow our channel at https://twitch.tv/gaiscioch
- Spawning up some Saturday Morning Adventures in ESO
Who's up for some boss hunting in ESO Saturday Mornings? Grab a cup of coffee and let's socialize as we face off against world bosses across Tamriel. I will be running some events Saturdays at 11AM PT as a trial run to see if there's interest. Come hang out with the captain of fall damage, he who is always lost and you too might have the incredible opportunity to learn what the terminal velocity of a Khajiit is. Put your wacky hat on, it's gonna be a facerolling good time.

- New Matchup Brings Same Alliance
Looks like we managed to keep Yak's Bend as an Ally for another 8 weeks. Least we know what to expect. Hopefully, by PAX West we might hear of something new coming to WvW in the lines of the proposed alliance system of 2018. In the meantime we continue to inch toward those legendary armor sets.

- Conqueror's Blade Prepares For War!
This past month Conqueror's Blade launched into its Open Beta phase putting behind its character wipes and loss of progress. It is a Free-2-Play game that puts the EPIC in siege warfare. At this point, all progress stays moving forward. Our first goal was to create an alliance so that we can house up to 200 players. This past week we formed our alliance dubbed "ArachDubh" or "Black Dragons" with the union of House Tuatha and Gaiscioch. In addition, we are able to allow free agents to join the alliance and try out our lifestyle.
- Astellia Online Launches into CBT
CBT1 Officially kicked off last week and ran through this weekend. For those of us who were able to play we got our first look at this interesting eastern mmorpg. After the flop that was Bless, the tragedy that was Riders of Icarus, the heartbreak that was ArcheAge, the full-time job that was Black Desert, the let down that was Aion, we all have one giant burning question.
- Lord of the Rings Online
From a handful of players to an army we have grown. Every Friday we amass for another fun-filled adventure across middle earth and the population seems to remain constant. We typically have 20-22 players each week as we've made our way across Middle-earth. We've had a great reception with the community and players have flocked to our shores. Our roster has crossed the 100 mark and is now on a consistent growth pattern. It is the leading activity generator ranking #2 overall in Gaiscioch with 29 events logged in June. It shows no sign of slowdown and is consistently growing each week.
- Farewell Bless Online, Breach & Kings and Heroes
Three of our adventures received news that the game would be heading into the halls of forgotten games as the developers announced they were pulling the plug. It's regrettable, however, I don't believe anyone was taken by surprise on this. All 3 games had their bright spots, but all three struggled to keep their player base. Let us remember the fun times we had in these games and be sure to check out our active adventures to see what else you can play with us.
- Some Adjustments to Stream Calendar
June was a crazy month with my daughter being in town. We put the Weekend Warriors and Streams of Epic Adventure on hold for June. Now that July is here we plan to bring back the Streams of Epic Adventure. Weekend Warriors, however, has dwindled in popularity and will be replaced by Gaiscioch Adventures which can be used for a wide variety of games moving forward. I will be converting my weekend warriors slot to an ESO adventure slot which will venture through various content in ESO. If it is received well, we will continue it moving forward but for now, July will be a trial run.
- It's Been A While: Heart to Heart Time
I am going to be completely transparent and honest in this section as I feel it is only fair and necessary to explain the current events within Gaiscioch. I've seen a lot of bitter comments flowing in our Discord about how we jump into a game and then everyone leaves and we move on to the next one. I've seen comments about how I personally play a game for a little bit and then jump to a new one. There are a few things I want to get out in the open.

- Rags to Riches
Another great time. Mika could do this event all day and I would join. The time always goes sooooo fast. It's always a great time and always very productive for me to attend. Get shinnies, achievement and sometimes even Mastery Points...
- fractal event
This was a great learning experience for the group. I accidentally chose T4 instead of T3. We struggled but got really far before anyone noticed my error. Namrie gave us some great hints on how we can improve and is now going to add some healing training to this run...
