ANEXXIA

  • I’ve hit a point in Voss where the mobs are consistently higher level than me, and Qyzen keeps dying constantly
  • Also, I keep trying to use my shadow priest rotation on my Sage


CHRIS

  • Ran Colicoid War Games – Fun instance, with the beginning two section of defending an area with cannons a nice change.


BRIAN

  • Trying to work through selling slicing/components on the GTN
  • Guild management and working through future planning
