Quissy & Pasta discuss what's been going on in the realm of WoW Classic, including the release of Arathi Basin, what's going on with their current characters in terms of gear and leveling, as well as cover a bit about how the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected their lives over the past 2 weeks.

We make some Blizzcon predictions given the "viral" nature of the day. Classic fans are getting Arathi Basin tomorrow! Why Paly tanks are better than Demon Hunter tanks. Shadows Rising is rising in July. Why this game will NEVER see player housing and more!

The beta rolls on and brings with it a couple of fresh talking points for the show and its listeners to tackle this week with Josh. Warsong Gulch has been open for a couple of weeks now in the beta and Arathi Basin just opened days ago, and with those come the bloodthirsty PvP testers looking to see how things perform on the battlegrounds. After that we break down stream sniping, after some comments made by streamer Sodapoppin ignited the forums this past week on the issue. Then, we welcome back vanilla WoW level designer John Staats, for the first of a lengthy ongoing segment all about the design of vanilla WoW's instances.  Listen in to part one of this series, as John tells us all about how he built one of the most beloved dungeons in MMORPG history, Blackrock Depths. The show then rounds out with a great call with a sitting member of the state of Maine's House of Representatives, about that one time that WoW got caught up in politics, and also a follow up call from last week, for a slightly different angle on the Trollgodx issue at the dueling tournament.

Technically PVP Show Notes   Episode 69 - RMP 8.1   12:26 Upcoming WoW PVP Events None. :(   22:42 Subject of Analysis Today we will discuss, RMP in 8.1!   1:42:30 WOW PVP NEWS Hotfixes since our last episode https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/22824893/hotfixes-december-20-2018 Feral and frost mage got a flat buff Unh DK, Boomkins, and ele sham got nerfs Boetar banned from AWC for all 2019 https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/22758508/awc-and-mdi-competitive-rulings Dev Q&As The three PvP characteristics are burst/mobility/CC. How should they be balanced in a spec and which class is tougher to balance while preserving its unique characteristics? Why do we have to wait until the new raid for Season 2 of Mythic+? Cutting Uldir short would be a little too soon. End game rewards work in parallel. Mythic+ and PvP gear progress in similar power levels to the raid. As a Horde player on a Horde dominant server, I will never see the 30% War Mode bonus.? Every weekly reset, the system looks at the relevant balance of the two factions in War Mode in the previous week and adjusts the percentages.  Faction Assaults have brought more people to World PvP and turning on War Mode.

Technically PVP Show Notes   Episode 66 - More Blizzcon News   Upcoming WoW PVP Events Resurgent ESB Monday Fight nights   WOW PVP NEWS There were a couple 1v1 tournaments on the Classic Demo server! :) https://challonge.com/StaysafeTV https://challonge.com/zao4cs8f Forums are getting a redo: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/breaking/22764995   Subject of Analysis Blizzcon Dev Interviews There are no plans for improvements on PvP gearing, the dev team wants to see the 8.1 changes on the PvE side in action first before coming up with anything for PvP Free for All PvP Quests are scheduled to make a return in Nazjatar. Wintergrasp is coming back as an Epic Battleground! The Island Expedition's AI was improved to more likely behave like players and be used in Battlegrounds. Just like players, the AI likes to jump a lot! PvP Warfronts are currently not planned, but it is an idea the dev team discusses consistently. PvP Zone Objectives (like the PvP towers in Terokkar Forest) are scheduled to make an appearance in Nazjatar For Tides of Vengeance, the team is working on reviewing the state of abilities added to the GCD and many movement abilities will likely be removed from it. Since revamps for Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch were announced, we were curious if Alterac Valley would receive a similar revamp. No plans at the current time. Maybe something to get around to later on. WSG and AB are more compact so you see more at once. They are also two popular battlegrounds and part of the Rated Battleground rotation. What about Ashenvale getting an update now that Warsong Gulch has one? Slippery slope! https://www.wowhead.com/news=288498/latam-content-creators-interview-with-jeremy-feasel-and-paul-watkins-flying-in-n https://www.wowhead.com/news=288433/blizzcon-2018-mamytwink-battle-for-azeroth-interview-with-jeremy-feasel-and-tina https://www.wowhead.com/news=288454/method-blizzcon-interview-with-morgan-day-and-ely-cannon-nazjatar-reaping-detail https://www.wowhead.com/news=288418/blizzcon-2018-interview-with-ion-hazzikostas-and-chris-robinson-azshara-raises-n MMO-Champion puts blogs several interviews together There is a relatively even balance of people who play Alliance or Horde. Overall win rates in random battlegrounds are "shockingly even." Epic battlegrounds tend to favor Alliance and the other battlegrounds skew a bit more in the Horde's favor. The ratio seems of win rates is about 54% Horde and 46% Alliance, not including Rated Battlegrounds. The amount of players who utilize War Mode currently skew towards Horde. In Tides of Vengeance, the team is looking into offering some kind of increased rewards for the less-represented faction in War Mode, so the risk and reward are better calibrated. Ion suspects that many Alliance players had bad experiences in War Mode in the beginning of the expansion and have turned off War Mode because of it. The purpose of increased awards is to make up for the risk of being killed by the opposite faction, but they want to keep this on equal grounds, and their hope is that increasing the rewards of the less represented faction will encourage more people to activate War Mode when their faction is at a disadvantage. Ion admits that Berserking is a bit too powerful of a racial ability for some classes and this is why it is receiving a small nerf. Historically, PvP servers have always been more Horde-favored. It might have to do with player identity in the game, such as wanting to be something battle-hardened like an orc. Blizzard is also keeping an eye on class and specialization appearance rates in PvP combat. https://www.mmo-champion.com/content/8158-Enhancement-Shaman-PTR-Changes-Forbes-Eurogamer-Interviews-Podcast-Interviews Including a Forbes interview with Ion about PVP: https://www.forbes.com/sites/hnewman/2018/11/07/blizzard-working-to-balance-warcrafts-alliance-and-horde-players-in-war-mode-raiding/#5e4361df3c18 What’s next panel https://www.wowhead.com/news=288351/blizzcon-2018-world-of-warcraft-whats-next-panel CDew streams a review of the Blizzcon games and told his secrets https://youtu.be/1TWvmhhdGAs Trivia question Previous episode question was: What is the name of the pandaren racial trait that reduces falling damage?  A: Bouncy!

This Battleground will offer dynamic control point gameplay similar to Arathi Basin, but with new control points appearing periodically as resources are depleted. This new Battleground will require coordination as you and your team work to overcome the opposing faction. Since this Battleground actually serves to tell part of the story that leads to the events of Battle for Azeroth, we also plan to offer a preview of the Seething Shore during patch 7.3.5 as we continue to build upon the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance for the coming expansion.   Warcraft PVP Scene NA Bracket http://us.battle.net/wow/en/pvp/leaderboards/2v2 EU PVP Brackets: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/game/pvp/leaderboards/2v2   Finding Us Technically - https://www.twitch.tv/technically_pvp https://twitter.com/Technically_PvP Technicallypvp@gmail.com https://technicallypvp.wordpress.com/ Andallyn - https://twitter.com/Andallyn1244 https://www.twitch.tv/andallyn Windstead - https://twitter.com/windstead84

Once a week Kaziah and Belthal take you through the trials and tribulations of the Needs a Hug guild on Ravenholdt US. Weekly guild news, World of Warcraft news ,commentary and special guests bring the unique flavor and insanity of the Needs a Hug guildies to the airwaves.WEEK IN WARCRAFTWOW NEWSChildrens Week - New Pets, Leggs the fenstrider, Scooter the Snail - School of hard knocks on friPreview for 4.2 - New Armor sets.

Children's Week EventOn Fri our guild members went out and murdered the Alliance with a reason. The school of hard knocks is one of the hardest of the yearlong achievements that make up the Meta Achievement: what a long strange trip it has been. The problem of course is that unlike the other events School of hard knocks requires you to do a set of tasks while you have your orphan with you, these are: Capture the flag in Eye of the Storm Assault a flag in Arathi BasinAssault a tower in Alterac ValleyReturn a fallen flag in Warsong GulchDoing any of these things reliably is hard at the best of times. trying to do it when 10,20 or even 40 people are all rushing to do the same thing is almost impossible. that is where the guild comes in. This fri we bundled up together and managed to get a lot of people there School of hard knocks. Looking For GuildSo this week we enabled the Looking for Guild options and wow have we had a good response we have had new people applying from all over so I wanted to give people an Idea of what it is all about. Along with all the little checkboxes that you fill out in the LFG tool there is a 255char block that we can put in a message. and this message is what diferentiate us from the other guilds.Currently our message reads:message “Why not join Needs a hug. We have 14 bank tabs, our tabard gives +400 stamina, our guild name improves our sex appeal, and our recruitment messages lie outrageously.”This message is pulling us in about 5-10 recruits per day once the apply I look at the message they have sent back. if they don’t put anything in the request window they are out. The more fun there message is better the chance we grab them. Once I or one of the other offciers contact them we fill them in on what the guild is like and if they want to join we invite them. Unfortunatly, this is never fool proof and we get a lot of chaff with the wheat. So if you think someone is awesome or you are having a problem let an officer know as soon as possible.Coming UpFriday Night Fightsthis fridayNaxx achivementsThe dread fortress Naxxramas, one of the ancient temples of the Nerubian people, torn from the ground by the Litch King and retooled by the mad architect Obrahiim, the Traveler now floats above dragonblight serving as a staging point for the tattered forces of the litch king. Fortunatly for us while we have been leveling to 85 they were still trying to figure out why the litch king isn't answering his phone. Since they aren't expecting anything its about time to beat them up and take there achivements. So sign up Fri for the 20th social event and show these dead heads what we can do.Say it Dont Spray itCLOSINGMP3RSSiTunes
