The guys also take a look at another mic-drop moment from Blizzard, and Britzza explains how one UK university is opening up the word of e-sports in a new, exciting way.

Phandeth and Toasty are back to discuss money for raiding, Cathedral of Eternal Light, Exploiting custom game modes, and more

Medros, Phandeth, and Toasty are back to discuss changes to name plates in 7.2, Un'Goro Madness in Hearthstone and WoW, and more.

On this weeks show Poke and a sick Darrick talk about all the changes coming to PvP and disscuss the Brian Holinka’s live Q and A Warcraft Off The Record [...] Source

This week, the guys are joined by Jules Scott from Tauren Think Tank! World of Warcraft PvP developer Brian Holinka made an appearance during the NA Arena Qualifier for Blizzcon to talk about the upcoming changes for PvP in WoW’s next expansion. One of the big reveals was that player stats will be based on the character’s specialization firstly, not their gear. That in conjunction with other changes should allow Blizzard more power to tune PvP than ever before without affecting PvE. The flying patch was NOT released this week, but MMO-Champion.com did parse the numbers for flying achievements on 2 million current players. The numbers don’t reflect a real drive for players to fly in Draenor. Could it be that this patch is coming too late in the expansion, or is there really no need to fly in WoD? Also, Reddit goes crazy over last week’s show, the Blizzcon goodie bag is revealed, Diablo, Heroes and Hearthstone make the Battlenet News, and one news article asks the question: Does Blizzard need World of Warcraft anymore? Plus, more on the Well Played Party at Blizzcon, your questions and more!

Greetings Geeks! This week on the show the team sit down to talk about Patch 6.2’s announcement, Brian Holinka’s live Q&A session, and the recent BlizzCon ticket sales. For the discussion topic the team get into the finer details of Patch 6.2, and for the Prince’s Gaze they take a look at an awesome fan video covering some of Blizzard’s most iconic cinematics. Throw in a reminder about our Heroes of the Storm Beta Key giveaway, and much more, and you have Episode 36 of Geeks of Azeroth!

This week’s show leads to some very fun and controversial conversations… be prepared! Brian Holinka, Senior PvP Designer, took to Twitter this week asking: "Do you play WoW and Heroes of the Storm but you don't PvP in WoW? I'd love to hear why.” the CtR crew responds with an in-depth conversation trying to figure out what improvements WoW would have to make to capture the MOBA crowd and make PvP less of a daunting experience for players new to this aspect of WoW. Also, thanks to a listener question we try to tackle the topic of the new difficulty in raiding (that deals more with mechanics than purely player power). Does this switch in player responsibility mean that teams need to better manage their expectations, and how should raid leaders proceed through this new era of raiding? The Blackrock Foundry item increases arrived this week as promised…or did they? What kind of an increase can you expect from the change?   Plus, we congratulate Olivia Grace for her new position with Blizzard, catch up with Dairies about PAX East and South by Southwest, and have a lot of laughs along the way!

At BlizzCon 2014 Emanuel Merino sat down with Brian Holinka, Senior PvP Designer for World of Warcraft, to get a rundown of WoW’s newest expansion,...

This week, Pat Krane, Koltrane and Dairies welcome lead game designer Ion Hazzikostas and senior game designer Brian Holinka to the show! Inside, they’ll discuss the upcoming changes for support classes, Ashran and PvP, raid encounters, class balance, and more. This week Blizzard announced the raiding panel for Blizzcon. Ion Hazzikostas gives us the inside scoop on which teams will be playing in this exhibition and what encounters they’ll be facing. Also, the guys chat about garrisons and the end game, professions, crowd control changes and diminishing returns, the legendary ring for Warlords, and a ton of listener questions. It’s all inside this very full episode of Convert to Raid!

The CtR crew is back, and this week we debate the latest big news from Blizzard! At a “mini-Blizzcon" event in Los Angeles, Mike Morheim, Ion Hazzikostas, Brian Holinka and Chris Metzen took the stage in a huge lifestream event to announce the upcoming release of Warlords of Draenor. Not only did they show the new cinematic, but also gave more details on what’s to come for the next expansion, along with a release date of November 13, 2014! There is a lot of varying opinion on all of the information from the event, even within the CtR crew! Tom Chilton gave several interviews at GamesCom to talk about Warlords after the announcement in Germany, giving more specifics (and spoilers) that have sparked even more discussion and controversy within the WoW community. The guys go toe to toe on everything this week, including on the cinematic, the 6.0 pre-expansion patch, the final boss of WoD, and even the 10th anniversary celebration announcement and more! It’s another fun-filled show on Convert to Raid!
