This episode the Fist takes a brief vacation, a new TOR Flashpoint gets added, D3 Pendants of Blood change goes live, Teamspeak server has issues, and many competitions are created for the Gamers of the Brotherhood! All this and more in the newest Fist Report.

Fist Leave of Absence

Just going to put this up front and get it out of the way, from April 1st to April 9th I'm going to be on vacation with my wife. I'll have email access from time to time, but no promises on a quick (or possibly any) reply until after I get back. Arch and crew will be holding down the gaming fort while I'm gone!

Also - vacation planning put a bit of a damper on my time to dedicate to the Gaming Poll. Rest assured I haven't forgotten about it (or deleted all your responses) and will be touching base on it at some point in April.

Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO

Kuat Drive Yards has been added to the CF Table. This is a Tactical Flashpoint, meaning it adjusts to Groups Levels, anyone from 15-55 can que up for it. Members of any level can group up and run this Flashpoint together! There is no Hard Mode Version currently available .

Completing this Flashpoint will earn you 4 Clusters of Fire. Requesting CFs from it follows standard procedure, just select the "Below 50 or Kuat" option from the dropdown box for TOR Flashpoints.

Diablo 3: Pendants of Blood

The Pendant of Blood Wiki Article has been updated based on the information I sent out in my last report. The Gaming Portal has been updated as well.

Please note that when submitting a request for a Pendant of Blood for a Paragon Level to include the Paragon Level (Paragon 30 or whatever) in the text box which prompts for Name and Paragon.

DJB Teamspeak - Server Issues

I'm aware of the issues on the Teamspeak server and submitted a ticket for it on Friday to the company which runs it. So far I have no response from them. I've noticed that their web site hasn't always been up over the last few days, so I'm not sure if that is related. I'll be submitting a follow on request this afternoon.
