Saturday night we will leave summertime behind us and revert back to standard time. This means that from this Sunday [PSDH] will switch over to its winter schedule.

While we're at it we looked at the schedule and made some improvements (hopefully) to make events start are more reasonable times. A summary of the changes:

Monday
Instead of doing regular Shatterer first, we now do the new Death-Branded Shatterer as last

Wednesday
Amalgamated gemstone run, by quickly doing Verdant Brind, Tangled Depths and optionally Auric Basin

Saturday
Silverwastes or MoT/Bounties before regular Shatterer

Sunday
Nothing changes; TT and Guild Missions

For those of you who subscribe to our calendar, we have updated it with the new times, so you are automatically up-to-date.

Side note:
November 4th - after TT - we will head into Vabbi for the Serpents' Ire event. For information about this event and why you should join it, check out the event topic: https://psdh.eu/index.php?topic=2209

When: Sunday, November 4, 13:00 & 14:30 (server time GMT), 14:00 & 15:30 (EU, GMT+1)
What: Serpents' Ire (Domain of Vabbi)

Teamspeak: ts.psdh.eu (there will be a special Serpents' Ire channel)

We are organizing to run the meta event in the Domain of Vabbi, Serpents' Ire. This meta event is linked to two achievements and since most Serpents' Ire events fail - due to a lack of organization - it might be hard to complete these achievements.

On Sunday PSDH also runs Triple Trouble and this event will continue as usual. Right after we finished TT, we'll jump straight to Vabbi and start the meta. Make sure you are on Teamspeak before we jump, otherwise you might have a difficult time finding us or getting into the map.

The achievements linked to this event are:

• Rare Collections: Exaltation of the Guardians — Recover 5 lost Guardian statues.
• A Bug in the System: Redeeming IG-6417 — Upload recordings to teach IG-6417 how to be heroic

Redeeming IG-6417 is part of an achievement chain and has to be unlocked. In case you haven't unlocked this achievement, you might want to do so before the 4th.

Event Pointers
First of all.. BRING CC SKILLS!. If we do not have enough crowd control, we'll be unable to break the defiance bars and the event will fail for sure. Check the wiki (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defiance_bar) for more info about what skills you can use.

Secondly, since this is an event which is not done as much as other big meta events we'll require everyone to be on Teamspeak (even if it's only to listen!). Commanders will not have time to type everything in squad chat.

The meta event can be split into three phases.

1) Slay veteran or higher-ranked Branded monsters to raise the ire of Branded Forgotten zealots and lure them out of hiding
This is pretty straightforward, just search in the branded area (right side of the map) for veteran, elite or champion  Branded and kill them. Make sure to split up to cover more ground.

Once enough Branded have been slain, Branded Forgotten zealots (5 of them) will appear somewhere in the Brand. These zealots don't have a static spawn spot, so if you have found one give us the location on Teamspeak or squad chat.

2) The Branded Forgotten zealots have regrouped at the Grand Court of Sebelkeh. Defeat them!
This is where most of the Serpents' Ire meta events will fail.. Due to lack of Crowd Control..
The main objective here is to kill the 5 zealots before they can detonate the crystal. The only way to damage these zealots is to BREAK THEIR DEFIANCE BAR. Since there will be 5 of them, we have to split up the squad into 5 groups and make sure each group has enough CC.

Can't stress this enough... BRING CC!

3) Defeating the zealots has incited the wrath of Ysshi Hessani and Pek Rakt Grag. Stop them!
After we have defeated the zealots the two final bosses will spawn. This should be pretty straightforward and shouldn't be an issue. We'll be killing Ysshi first because he can resurrect Pek Rakt Grag. Ysshi will alternate between melee and ranged combat, so attack accordingly. At times Ysshi Hessani turns invulnerable and the veteran spark and branded sparks that appear must be destroyed in order for it to take damage.

We kill the bosses, get loot and check of some achievements.

Hope to see you there!

So we could potentially start our NA branch of PSDH?

Yesterday I have also booked our plane tickets and hotel \o/

In other news.. If you have signed up for a PSDH t-shirt, please make sure you have transferred the money by the end of the month. Also, don't forget to tell me your preferred size.

Upcoming Sunday it's that time of the year again. One hour less sleep, because the clock will be set forward one hour.

To accommodate this extra one hour time difference we have come up with a new event schedule. The new schedule starts Monday, March 26th.
Our calendar has been updated, so if you are subscribed to it the new events will automatically show up.

Monday
Shatterer
Bounties with possible Maw of Torment in between

Wednesday
Palawadan (Domain of Istan)
Dragon's Stand

Thursday
Events, Fractals, Dungeons, Achievements, etc.. You need something done and you want some help from the guild? Drop it into guild chat and perhaps you'll find some people who want to join.

Saturday
Tequatl
Tangled Depths
Auric Basin

Sunday
Taidha
Triple Trouble*
Guild Missions


* Triple Trouble Changes
For Triple Trouble we are going to introduce something new. Over time we have noticed fewer people joining Teamspeak and we have a hard time filling spots for husk killing (condi) and egg blocking (diboof). This has caused us to either fail the event due to people not correctly following the commander or we have to cancel because we just don't have the players to fill certain spots.

I do not want to remove Triple Trouble from our schedule because I believe it's one of the hardest and in my opinion, the most rewarding (not looking at loot) open world events. We have lots of people who joined PSDH because of TT and I want new players to also be able to experience it in a casual way.

1) Do not be afraid to step up for the condi or diboof role. They are easy to learn and we have some fabulous members who can help you.
2) BE ON TEAMSPEAK. Whether you have done this event once or a thousand time, join Teamspeak so you are able to listen to the commander (does not matter if you do not have a mic or do not want to talk... just listen)
3) We do not want to cancel TT right before it starts due to lack of condi or diboof. This is why we came up with sort of a pre-signup sheet in which you can put your name if you can condi or diboof on a certain date. The sheet is open for everyone, so please use with care.

That's it for now. If you have any questions or comments, please post them below. Don't forget that next week we also have an Eastern event coming up.

Nice all Good work. Though i am very sad to say i can't join this weekend. I have another weekend planned on exactly the same dates.

But nevertheless i will wish you all a good weekend. and  hope you will enjoy it.

Aww that's too bad! We'll make sure to take enough pics so it'd be like you were there

Hello PSDH!

Just before we celebrate the end of the year I’m here with a small hype about next years PSDH meet-up.

If you are a regular on the PSDH discord server you might have spotted me hinting about where we are going next year. For the next meet-up we’ll be going back into the city and this year's city will be… start drumroll…. Warsaw, Poland! Looking at the questionnaires people filled in after the last meetup, it seemed like the majority wanted to go to Poland for the next meetup. We looked at the options, crunched the numbers and the results showed us it is viable to do.

Now for the bad news.. Because we’ll be staying in the city it’s going to be harder for us to give you an all-in-one package like we had last meetup. Expect next the meet up to be a bit more expensive. However!, we are trying to come up with a nice package which will include stay in a hotel (+ breakfast) and Saturday dinner. More information on this later.

Unfortunately we can not yet give you a date. For now keep the weekends of September 2018 available.

That’s all for now. If you have any questions or ideas for things we should/need to do in Warsaw… let us know!
