New Player Experience and Warcraft Direct
Blythe joins us to talk about being a new player in Azeroth, while the gang talks talks about raiding and tanking....
Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are back to talk about all the news that has come out over the last two weeks! First Rei talks about her struggles with acquiring crests and then talks about people not answering questions in a timely fashion in discord. She then explains her character’s transmog as she talks about chatting with someone after five and half years. This segues into a conversation about Amazon deliveries gone wrong. Then she talks about how she is not enjoying Xal’atath’s Bargain in Mythic+.
Eric talks about the guild being six of eight in Nerub-ar Palace. He’s also working on leveling up his death knight.
Kura talks about the twentieth anniversary event and he and Nick talk about how Blizzard was slow to correct the Token acquisition rates. They also talk about how some of the events are hit or miss but there’s plenty of time to get everything. Next, Kura mentions that he got the ninety dollar brutosaur mount. Nick ribs him for getting a Pay-to-win mount before debunking the notion that a mailbox is a pay-to-win feature.
Next, they talk about what’s been going on in the news. They talk about the Mountain Dew, Rockstar, and Doritos promotion that will let you earn points to buy items for World of Warcraft including the Fel Cycles that have been in the game files for a long time.
Then, they talk about the upcoming Warcraft Direct on 11/13. And then they talk about the announcement for Patch 11.0.7 which will focus on Siren’s isle. They talk about the new ring on the isle, but they are more surprised by the appearance of former WoW! Talk! host Katie who is now a developer on the Warcraft team!
Next, they talk about watching The Remarkable Life of Ibelin on Netflix, which focuses on the life of Ibelin who suffered from Duchenne syndrome while being an active guild member.
Finally, they take a quick look back at episode #177 which was about the upcoming Blizzconline.
