    #264: The Patch 10.2.7 Quiz
    This week Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back to talk about what’s been going on now that Season 4 is live. Rei talks about pugging and running Mythics. She is gearing up and working for higher keys and doesn’t understand why people would leave their own key after one mistake. She also talks about a night where all her attempts to run higher keys failed. They also talk about the vault and how easy it is to increase your ilvl in season 4.

    Eric talks about raiding and how they have been struggling on the final boss each week. Nick is disappointed that there are no fated affixes this time around, as the Awakened Bosses only have more health and do more damage.

    Kura talks about getting his legendary ilvl up as well as the flight paths in Zaralek caverns and struggling with public orders.

    Then the gang takes the Patch 10.2.7 quiz. Play along and email us at [email protected] or tweet at @wowtalkmtb on X (Twitter) with your score and you will be entered in to a drawing for a Lucky Quilen Pet.

    In the news, Blizzcon has been cancelled for 2024. Nick talks about how he was surprised because previously Blizzard regretted cancelling the 2012 Blizzcon but also noted that much of the leadership from that time is no longer with the company. He also talks about the ways that Blizzcon can be reimagined and also that it does not ned to be tied to the first week in November.

    Also, Christie Golden announced she was let go from Blizzard in the January layoffs. Everyone was surprised by this and Kura expresses his disappointment at the community members who were happy because they were (incorrectly) blaming Christie for problems with the Warcraft lore.

    Finally, Nick takes a quick look back at WoW! Talk! #164 when there were rumors about WoW coming to Xbox.

    #263: Raid Etiquitte and the Season Four Quiz!
    Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to talk about what’s been going on in WoW and celebrate the launch of Dragonflight Season 4 with the Season 4 Quiz! But first, they talk about Plunderstorm coming to an end and the quality of the Blizzard store shirts.

    Rei then talks about Order of Corrupted Souls having low raid attendance and preparing for Season Four by rerunning the returning raids. She also talks about inviting some friends to run with the guild, only for them to dominate chat and ruin the experience. This leads to a lengthy discussion about proper raid etiquette and being focused on the task instead of chatting too much. Rei also brings up a friend who runs mythic raids and was complaining that WoW has become too difficult.

    Eric also talks about rerunning the old raids.

    Kura talks about falling asleep during raid and Nick wonders why when people fall asleep they tend to push the forward key. Rei mentions that she kept healing her guild while she passed out once. Kura also talks about getting his legendary which everyone should know about since you can hear the Nas’zuro announcements from anywhere.

    Nick then administers the season 4 quiz. Play along at home!

    In the news, Mists of Pandaria Remix was announced as the next PVE experiment. Also, Plunderstorm will be giving twice the plunder during the Plundersurge which will close out the event. Also, the War Within Alpha went live, and the War Within Collector’s Edition is available on the Blizzard Store. Nick and Kura talk about getting the older CE’s in clearance bins and wonder if that will ever happen again. Also, there was a WoWCast to go along with the Alpha announcement. For WoW Classic, the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch goes live on April 30th, so be sure to run the Wrathgate before that content is removed.

    Finally, they take a look back 100 episodes ago to when Blazzin Bob was on to talk about WoW Classic.

    #262: Raid Participation, April Fools, and Plunder! Die! Repeat!
    Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are back this week to talk about what’s going on in World of Warcraft and Plunderstorm! Rei begins by talking about tanking high keys in Mythic Dungeons and her struggles there. She also talks about trying to help people only to have people disregard her advice, which leads to a discussion about people needing to be present in raids and honest with themselves about how they are approaching the game, so they can discuss that with their guildmates adequately.

    Eric talks about how he is ready to move onto season 4 with the Awakened Raids that will be coming on April 23rd. The gang talks about how players are disappointed with the raids but Nick thinks they were well received last expansion and should work this expansion. They also talk about how Blizzard could introduce other raids or dungeons in these end of expansion seasons.

    Kura talks about April Fools and wanting World of Warcraft pancakes. This leads to a discussion about how April Fool’s was received for Warcraft this year. He also talks about his struggles with his DK’s performance and how he is not used to having to dodge in melee range. He also mentions that he is missing some quests for the Tuskarr.

    Nick completed the Plunderstorm grind and shares his final Plunderstorm thoughts. He talks about some of his frustrations and theorizes that the rewards were there to keep a base of players for the PVP players to defeat. He also talks about Holly’s announcement that there is some special PVE content coming.

    John Hight did an interview with IGN where he talked about being interested in more Warcraft movies but not wanting to be a filmmaker. He also talks about not using generative AI to make content.

    Looking back one hundred episodes, Nick talks about the announcement of the first release date for Shadowlands as revealed in July of 2020.

    #261: Plundering Spicy
    Welcome to Plunderin' Spicy, our new show hosted by Kinder where we talk about the newest rage in battle royales: PLUNDERSTORM!

    Actually, Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are here to talk about the big reveal from the 10.2.6 Patch. Rei talks about getting into Plunderstorm and figuring out how it worked. She also talks about some of the bugs with the patch including her UI resetting and chat and other server features being broken. Then Rei talks about what else she’s been doing in game such as playing with an old friend and then suffering from disconnects. They review the Hearthstone event and how plenty of people did not get the drops they wanted. Rei also talks about the struggles with learning to tank.

    Eric talks about how instead of raiding they ran two groups through mythic dungeons. He also mentions that he does not like Plunderstorm.

    Kura brings up that he’s getting orange numbers in his mythic keys. He’s also getting better at playing his Evoker, and his DK is doing well too. Kura played some Plunderstorm duos with Nick and the two shared some of what they learned. Nick talks about how Plunderstorm is reminiscent of when Hearthstone added Battlegrounds, and he is thinking that this could wind up as its own game mode possibly on console. They also talk about some of the outrage at the mode being caused by people not understanding how Blizzard was promoting it.

    In the news, Season 4 will have Awakened Raids instead of fated raids. Also, John Hight’s GDC talk revealed WoW’s player numbers for the first time in years and also highlighted where Blizzard went wrong with Shadowlands. And there are new mounts available in the game for completing the meta-achievements for Shadowlands and Dragonflight, the latter rewarding the much requested Taivan mount!

    Finally, Nick looks back 100 episodes when they were comparing WoW and Destiny 2.

    #260: The Patch 10.2.6 Quiz???
    Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to talk about what’s going on in WoW. But first, Nick brings up how players have been getting irrationally impatient about the lack of news regarding Patch 10.2.6.

    Next, Rei talks about what’s been going on with Order of Corrupted Souls. She’s been struggling with players who aren’t reciprocating on the conversations she’s trying to have with them about improving their performance. She also talks about getting poor positions in the queue. She tried Dawn of the Infinite Hard Mode with the hourglasses and how difficult that was, and then she mentions doing some PVP and healing that successfully. This also leads to a discussion about Candy Crush. Rei also mentioned that she still feels guilty when she logs on and still has real world stuff to do.

    Eric talks about the challenges in the raid bringing players with alts, or missing certain players at all for a week. He mentions watching the MDI Global finale and watching Mandatory win.

    Kurabara also talks about trying to perform betting in the raid as his evoker. He’s also working on getting his Death Knight up, but switching to Unholy has improved his performance. He also talks about working on getting his gear up by collecting crests.

    Nick talks about the complaints about 10.2.6. People (and content creators) should be used to news draughts by now. He also gives the Patch 10.2.6 quiz which has no real questions because no one knows anything about the patch, including when it will hit in March.

    Kura talks about Uncle Vinny’s post in the discord about Dawn of the Inifite and this leads to Rei and Eric sharing their most hated dungeons.

    Finally, Nick looks back 100 episodes ago at when we found out Blizzcon 2020 would be cancelled.

    #259: On MDI, Hearthstone, and Books
    Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to talk about the latest in Warcraft news! But first Nick has to shake out of his Balatro addiction.

    Rei talks about not getting the Love Rocket this Love is in the Air, but she did spend her tokens on plenty of other items, including the strangely bugged “Eyes for You Only” toy. Nick derails the discussion to talk about Hearthstone and mentions that the Hearthstone 10th anniversary will be celebrated in WoW with a crossover promotion to earn transmog and even a mount. Rei and Eric then talk about watching the MDI and enjoying the competition and how close it was. They also compare the groups running MDI to some of the PUGs they have encountered.

    Eric talks about trying to bring alts into Heroic Amirdrassil and how the group is struggling as a result. He also talks about upgrading aspect crests.

    Kurabara mentions that although his Naszuro, the Evoker Legendary, dropped for him, he still has to gather the shopping list of items to craft it properly, and that includes running Aberrus a bunch, which he is struggling with since its not current content. He also talks about running mythic +12s and switching from his frost DK to unholy. He mentions finishing the Gilneas quest as well as watching the cut scene with Tyrande, Malfurion, and Shandris. He likes how there are new leaders taking over for several of the factions.

    In the news, Fyralath has been buffed to drop more often. Also, Blizzard announced a collection of short stories coming out later this year called “The Voice Within” and Jason Schrier announced that his next book will be about Blizzard called “Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment.”

    Congratulations to Uncle Vinny for winning the Sprite Darter transmog!

    Finally, Nick takes a look back 100 episodes to when people were first checking out Torghast on the Shadowlands beta.

    #258: On Raid Attendance and Love is in the Air
    Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to calm down after the Chiefs exciting Super Bowl win and talk about all things WoW! First, Rei talks about the struggles when raid members are suspiciously missing raid nights and either giving weak excuses or still logged into the game doing other stuff. She talks about how she had to kick someone out of the guild for not being honest about their participation. She also laments that the crafting window blocks access to the chat window. Then she wonders about how people handle merging different social groups when getting everyone to play together.

    Eric talks about how they are getting Heroic Fyrakk on farm now and preparing for the upcoming Fated raids but rerunning older raids. Also, he talks about running mythic+ for aspect crests.

    Kurabara admits he didn’t know there was a way to upgrade older crests to newer crests, and Rei mentions the rainbow path to the vendor in the Emerald Dream. He also talks about getting his legendary to drop from Sarkareth, and also how he has been enjoying playing his Death Knight.

    Nick points out that due to a technical error, the last episode went up extremely late, so we are extending the drawing for the Sprite Darter Wings xmog until our next episode on 2/26. Please email [email protected] with the subject “I want the xmog!” to enter.

    In the news, Steve Danuser appears to no longer be with Blizzard. Holly Longdale posted about how there will not be a PTR for Patch 10.2.6 to keep it a secret. New hero talents were unveiled for The War Within. Love is in the Air was updated and everyone seems to be enjoying the changes. The Enlightened Hearthstone was found in Zereth Mortis. The Magical Murkmorpher and the Twilight Pack are available on the shop, while the Traders Post is offering 500 extra tender this month. You can get Cap’n Crackers with a Twitch Prime account. Season of Discovery Phase 2 is live. Warcraft, Warcraft II, and Diablo are now on battle.net. And pre-orders for the Wrathion statue have been cancelled.

    Finally, we look back at episode #158 when people were still running Heroic visions.

    #257: Followers Are Bad and Following is Sad
    Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are back this week to talk about the distressing layoffs at Microsoft, but first they get distracted with some football talk.

    Rei talks about trying out follower dungeons now that Patch 10.2.5 is live, and she reveals that she did not enjoy them. Nick points out that she and the rest of the gang are not the target audience for Follower Dungeons. She also talks about two-manning an M0 dungeon and struggling on an M+23. Then she reveals she learned what a ratlock is and Eric says he might be one. She also talks about Deathrolling.

    Eric talks about defeating Heroic Fyrakk and also fishing for Godfrey’s spectacles in the newly liberated Gilneas.

    Kura talks about being too busy to play WoW but still finding time to play his DK in raid. He wondered about the age range of people that play WoW, as he heard that its mostly people over 30.

    In the news, the Kokron War Wolf from the Siege of Orgrimmar ahead of the curve achievement was datamined with a traders tender value. This has lead to speculation it will be on the trading post. Also, Patch 10.2.6 encrypted servers are up which points to the patch launching around the end of March or start of April. Also, the Champion of the Dragonflights title has been hotfixed.

    Nick then talks about the layoffs at Microsoft and how he feels guilty for supporting the acquisition in the name of getting rid of Bobby Kotick but doesn’t know if it was worth all these jobs. He admits that Kurabara was right that the merger was bad. They talk about the new Blizzard President and that they will have to wait to see how she performs. Nick is pessimistic on the future for the games industry going forward.

    They take a quick look back at episode #157.

    Also, send an email to [email protected] for your chance to enter a contest for the Sprite Darter Wings transmog!

    Kura talks about playing while he was sick and comparing his performance to the other new Evoker in the raid. He mentions his struggles with the Alchemy profession as things keep exploding on him and he recalls how he found a Discord server with a channel called WoW Talk that was just people praising retail and complaining about Classic.

    #255: More Soulstones, Less Pirates
    Happy New Year! Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back for a new year to keep talking about WoW! But first they bid farewell to Bobby Kotick who is finally no longer with Activision Blizzard.

    Next, Rei gets into what she’s been doing in WoW. She talks about running Mythic+’s and then gets into a discussion about LFR and how she has struggled to get any loot drops in LFR, which is entirely due to the transition away from Personal Loot earlier this expansion. The gang agrees that some change needs to be made to allow for bad luck protection in LFR, but that would seemingly require doctoring the need rolls.

    Next, Rei and Eric talk about getting Smolderon down to 1% in their raid and point out that sometimes the raid performs better when certain members are absent. Eric also talks about dying and not being rezzed as a warlock, to which Nick tells him to just use his soulstone on himself.

    Next, Kurabara talks about how he hasn’t been feeling well and has not been playing much lately, but he mentions being underwhelmed by the Trading Post reward this month which is a wristwatch transmog. Nick points out that it is probably a lesser reward since the big focus this month will be on people getting the 12-month achievement which grants the Warden armor transmogs.

    Next, Nick talks about the 2024 Roadmap Blizzard revealed, which includes the War Within releasing around what looks like September, and a mysterious pirate flag labeled 10.2.6 which Nick posits will be an April Fool’s joke.

    In the news, the Swift Windsteed mount is available for free from Prime Gaming, and there is a new Black Market Auction House vendor.

    Finally, the gang takes a look back at episode 155 when everyone started working from home.

    #254: Revisiting Reputations, the Trading Post, and the Lawsuit
    Nick is back with Eric and Kurabara as Rei is not feeling well (Get better, Rei!) to talk about the latest goings on in World of Warcraft. This week, Eric starts by talking about the Nymue fight and how much healing is required throughout the fight. He also talks about mythic+ and how because it has felt easier this season, it has lead to running more and higher keys to the point that he needs to run lower keys for the wyrm crests for updating his gear. He also talks about getting to max reputation with the Dream Wardens pretty quickly, and this leads to a discussion about reputation and whether the transition to Renown over the last two expansions has been worth it. They also talk about whether Blizzard should have made Zaralek Cavern easier while making the Emerald Dream harder since the Dream will have to be current content until the War Within. They talk about Blizzard’s rapid development pacing throughout Dragonflight.

    Kura talks about playing his evoker and not getting invited to all the groups. He also talks about spraining his ankle and having a birthday.

    Nick talks about how the Trading Post is dictating his playstyle lately. He mentions that he doesn’t have time to play so he is only playing to complete the monthly rewards. He then talks about the controversy over the Wardens armor that is the 12-month reward for the Trading Post, and how Blizzard will now be rewarding three armor sets instead of just one. Nick also talks about Ion did a community council interview that got aggregated into nonsense and pushed to him on his phone.

    In the news, they mention that the Harassment lawsuit against Activision-Blizzard has been settled for $54 million.
