Yes, I do now have an adorable Orokeet following along behind me. I should have had it weeks and weeks ago, but I was too lazy to drive through the deserts of Tatooine to hatch the unusual egg my Disgraceful guildie gave me until I finally did it this weekend. But while the bird is freaking awesome, it’s not the coolest achievement visible in this screenshot. My new title should clue you in to the fact that I’ve made significant progress in the Explosive Conflict operation. I am now one of not too many on my server displaying the “Minesweeper” title for defeating the puzzle boss.

But wait, there’s more. We didn’t just make significant progress because we didn’t stop with getting the Minesweeper title. We immediately marched right into Warlord Kephess’ territory and… we died. But we got back up and marched right back in there and… we died. Okay, so we died like 4 or 5 times. BUT THEN WE KICKED HIS ASS AND WE HAVE CONQUERED EXPLOSIVE CONFLICT!
