Details concerning the end of the season and data-mined changes paint a more clear picture of the Midnight Pre-patch. We go through the rework of transmog to discuss the pros, the cons, and the new fit.

This week Joe and Matt are answering another listener question, this time concerning Paladins, and how they serve as an intersection between the divine Light, and the Titans who shaped Azeroth. As you might imagine, the answer will span the cosmos, and go completely off the rails in the process. Paladins in particular serve as a mash-up between some Light power and Titanic power -- does that mean a Titan of the Void could occur? There's a lot of ground to cover, some of which will take us into Midnight and what may happen as we start to make our way toward the final act of this trilogy.But you can count on one thing: an Odyn mention means he gets called a jerk again. We don't make the rules.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When the government of Bajor has another case of the yips, Kira meets up with her old murderin' friends with great hair as we review "Shakaar"! We get a real mixed bag of an episode as Kai Winn gives a straight up supervillan speech, the surface of Azeroth actually looks a bit messed up for a change, a disposable darts based B plot...all resulting in a jumble that is less then the sum of its parts.

This week, we join the remaster trend by re-recording a classic episode that our online listeners have never heard! We did a live podcast episode at PAX East in Boston in 2024, and the recording was sadly lost (thanks tech guy Bernard…). We had so much fun the first time, we thought we'd record it all for our online listeners! We covered everything from the very first fishing games, to fishing minigames in games which otherwise have nothing to do with fishing! Want to learn about the history of fishing in video games? Take a listen!This podcast is brought to you by the Keefer's Angelfish, one of the rarest fish in all of Stranglethorn Vale.  These exquisite fish of the World of Warcraft do not breed but rather appear during a single event, leading to an all out clamor by fishing enthusiasts around Azeroth.  One might think that the Keefer's Angelfish doesn't look anything like an angelfish in the real world and that it seems similar to many other fish with the same EXACT icon and to that we'd say… “you're right”.  Nonetheless, this fish remains one of the crown jewels for anglers everywhere.  Cheers to you, Keefer's Angelfish.Thanks for listening to Gettin' Fishy With It!

This week we have four listener questions answered by our lore experts Joe and Matt. First, they discuss the Ethereals and what their timeline is in relation to the timeline on Azeroth. Has this race existed for years, decades, milennia -- or something different entirely. They pivoted to the dragons and their aspects, and how choice figures in. Chromie, for one, clearly got some element of choice in how she appears in her bipedal form. How might other dragons choose, and how might new discoveries change what they choose? Is Alexstrasza going to become a Kul Tiran? Then, we pivot a third time to the old-school class quests like the Paladin's Charger questline and how they tied in to the class fantasy of the player, plus how they might be brought back in the future. Finally, we pivot once more, back to where we started, with Ethereals. This time you asked about Ve'nari and her secretive nature. The Ecodomes hardly seem nefarious or easily sabotaged -- why did she keep them a secret from us?You ask us questions and we luckily have some loremasters on hand to explain the answers. If it were just me you'd be listening to hold music while I frantically scanned through everything in our Warcraft in print guide looking for something approaching an answer.

We are working to get things into a better tuned state to ensure quality playtesting and feedback from both internal and external sources. This tuning will come in various stages and won't all happen at once, but a few notable changes are happening that feel worth discussing slightly more:Several classes will see some generic increases or decreases to their overall throughput amounts. Most of this right now is to coincide with “zeroing out” some passive modifiers attached to the class or spec that was adjusting their throughput. Rather than continue to tweak this number up and down, most of them have been set to zero. In some cases, we adjusted the spec's tuning up or down to compensate for the change. In other cases, we felt it was ok to not adjust the spec's throughput and just return the values to zero.Melee classes are starting to see an increase to their auto-attack damage dealt either in this week's update or in the coming week's updates. Auto-attacking is a part of melee characters, and we want to make sure that an appropriate amount of damage is being attributed to your auto-attacks while engaged in combat.All healers had a 20% increase to their damage dealt this week. We are monitoring the rate at which they can complete content while solo and felt that a boost to their offensive throughput would be appropriate.NEW ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE: COMBAT AUDIO ALERTSCombat audio alerts have been added for reading your target's name and announcing when your target dies, when combat starts, and when combat ends.Transmog is disabled for the week.Next Week: Limited Raid TestingUpdated Transmog SystemMythic+ DungeonsMidnight Season 1 DungeonsUpper-tier DelvesHousing - Night Elf and Blood Elf exterior decorAdditional User Interface Updates Links Midnight Beta Test Development Notes - #18 by Linxyhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe26_kqAy4ypSkmpRiO_eJQyvcp0el5PKcUTO0ZrYu4qi3-eQ/viewform Raid Testing Midnight Raid Testing Schedule

As we head into Midnight, we know this act begins with a direct assault on the Sunwell. But what is the Sunwell? Our Loremasters Joe and Matt discuss the history of Xal'atath's next target. The Sunwell isn't even the only well of power to be found on Azeroth -- they discuss the Well of Eternity, and the Nightwell, too.This isn't the first time the Sunwell has been directly assaulted -- and hopefully, it won't be the last, if our champions have anything to say about it. (Which is to say that hopefully it will be around to be attacked again in the future.)If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
