Best. Expansion. Ever.

Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are here against their will because they would rather be off playing The War Within! Rei talks about her warband and guild banks being broken. She also talks about how the Dungeon Diplomat achievement is bugged, since that keeps posting as completed in guild chat for everyone. The gang talks about how they found various bugs in The War Within beta and Blizzard sent out emails to let people know how much of an impact they had on fixing the new expansion. Rei also talks about her shaman talent points being reset.

Eric and Kura talk about leveling through The War Within. Eric talks about how they ran dungeons and that messed up their leveling pace. They talk about Hero Talent and Kura loves how he gets to summong the Four Horseman to fight alongside him. They talk about Delves and how they’ve been enjoying this, but it is similar enough to Torghast that we will have to see if the community sours on it. They also talk about Dornagal as a capital city and without spoilers try to mention some of the questing highlights.

In the news, Blizzard put out an animated short depicting Alleria’s history. They also released an interview with Chris Metzen that Nick goes over.

Nick talks about how the Early Access split the community, and how everyone talking about not being able to play all throughout the weekend only served to market Blizzard’s FOMO for them. He talks about how social media was unbearable this weekend as a result.

Finally, they take a very brief look back at episode #172.
