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! You can find our new website at www.gettinfishywithit.com. You can find us on Bluesky at @gettinfishypod.bsky.social and on Instagram @gettingfishypod. You can also find us on Facebook and LinkedIn.

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. Hope you like the muzak version of Careless Whisper!If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.

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!

Addressing Addons Team 2 posted a message about Midnight's Impact of Combat Addons. The initial version of the new API logic was the most restrictive iteration and the team had a (uncommunicated?) expectation that feedback would guide where they loosen restrictions.The team has been providing detailed technical updates directly to addon devsThe post includes a section about customization.Addons should not be able to automate combat decisions for the player.Addons should retain their ability to customize how information is presented to the player.Team 2's post speaks briefly about a focus on accessibility.Text-to-Speech support or other audio alertsExamples of the ability to announce when combat begins and ends, to announce your health and resources at regular intervals, to play sounds when you gain or lose a secondary resource (e.g., combo points), to announce your target's name and health, and more.Healing and Raid FramesNew display for Major defensives (or similar ability)Role specific debuffs (ie: tank swaps) Additional buffs displayed on raid frames beyond the previous limitation3 different layouts with 2 being inspired by popular addons.Border visualization and colour highlights for Curses, Diseases, Magic, or Poison effects.

Sean, now corrupted by the Legion, dives into Lemix; Lex is too good for the rest of us and is all Alpha all the time; and Manny is stuck editing as Sean leads this episode of For Azeroth!
Now that we've seen Lorewalking a bit, a listener asks the Lore Watch team what other events in Azeroth's history we should get to go visit through that system. While the listener suggests the War of the Three Hammers -- which Joe and Matt are on board with -- the response runs the gamut of Azeroth's history, from ancient events to a couple from WoW we just weren't there to see, all the way back to the creation of Azeroth herself. They ran through events with dizzying speed, some of which are well known to us, and others which are mostly only known to the loremasters among us.Or maybe we should kill Arthas another time, that would be fun, too.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
