Our adventure through the Hellfire Citadel raid continues with our next three bosses. We get a chance to compare some backstories between the two universes, listen to the next Lords of War video, and get swallowed! I do take time to talk about a recent WSJ article about Bobby Kotick. **Trigger Warning** It does touch on sexual harassment, rape, and death threats. Maybe don't listen to that part around your children. For a brain cleanse, here is the link to the Twitter Friday Question where people left links to their favorite fan made Warcraft videos.  ----------------- tinyurl.com/dfpodmerch https://www.patreon.com/dungeonfables warcraftradio.com/directory www.twitch.tv/aliandras  

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players! On this special episode, Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas discuss the upcoming 9.2 content release with Morgan Day! Episode #488: Talking 9.2 with Morgan Day! is ready for Download! The foundation of the questions we asked Morgan New Zone: Zereth Mortis How did working through the pandemic affect the plan for Shadowlands and getting a new zone added to each patch? This seems like a natural place for Shadowlands' story to resolve, but what went into actually getting it there? What is the plan for Legendary crafting in 9.2? We know we get the new materials from Zereth Mortis. How do we get them and about how long after patch would you expect players to have their first top-rank Legendary?  Will we still need Rank 4 or Rank 6 base items to get started ?  Will we still need Soul Ash/Soul Cinders to craft a new Legendary from scratch? Will there be Conduit upgrade items via Zereth Mortis?  Are Conduits going up 2 more ranks, similar from S1 to S2?  What kind of catchup mechanics are being planned to get characters to baseline relevance with the Conduit system at the outset of 9.2? New Feature: Cypher of the First Ones What can players expect from the Cypher in regards to progression? Is it gated weekly, similar to Renown? Is there player choice in which upgrades unlock when? Are unlocks account-wide to any degree? How do we advance our progress at the Cypher? Are there specific tasks/quests, fill-the-bar style activities, lootable items similar to Archivist's Codex, or something else entirely? Are we “speccing out” the Cypher, so to speak, choosing certain upgrades/perks at the expense of others, or does every character eventually get the full slate of benefits? New Raid: Sepulcher of the First Ones Can you talk a bit about the factors that went into the decision to time-gate the initial release?  Can players expect a big shift in gameplay or the zone when they return the week after defeating the Anduin encounter? Are there plans for unlockable skips?  What about fast-travel points around the raid zone, like Hellfire Citadel had? With tier pieces being available from other sources, is there an intent to put uniquely powerful items in the new raid?  We saw probably not enough of that in Castle Nathria and maybe a bit too much in Sanctum of Domination. How is the team feeling about raid encounter length at the top end?  Should we expect more 12-15 minute marathons? Did the team feel basing boss phase transitions on health, like on KT, was effective? It resulted in many teams having unwanted “hold dps” phases, is that something we might see in this raid? Great vault loot restricted behind bosses killed? New Loot: Class Sets Return Will the set bonuses be per class or per spec?  Are there unique effects in Raid/M+/PvP or a set pair of bonuses per set? How many total pieces of each set are there? Is the goal with the class sets to shake up gameplay/rotations/priority or more to provide passive bonuses on top of what we're already doing? With set pieces dropping again, it would be nice to have tokens back. Has there been any thought about bringing Master Loot back? Shadowlands Season 3 Extrapolating high keystone versions of Tazavesh is a bit intimidating at the moment. Will we see changes to bring these dungeons in line with the rest of the pool? Operation: Mechagon was pretty on par with the rest of BFA, the additions to Legion were pretty big outliers. The Season 2 affix has been pretty fun, anything you can talk about regarding the plan for Season 3?  We haven't seen anything in SL that affected dungeon routes the way Awakened did for example in BFA, is that a concept that might be revisited? How is the team feeling about the way Mythic + Rating/Valor have worked out in Season 2?  Any notable updates coming in Season 3 or should we expect a similar path, just with 2 more dungeons in the pool? We know there are Torghast updates coming and new layers. Will Torghast still be a source for 9.2 Legendary mats or is that being 100% shifted to Zereth Mortis?  Any updates to the Box of Many Things? What kind of new stuff will there be for Torghast players to chase? How does the team feel about the Great Vault this expansion? Any thoughts on adding some kind of duplicate logic to the system or a streak-protection/currency type of option? Looking ahead, what were the lessons the team learned over the course of Shadowlands and how are they informing future design? Trying to reach the show?

The Blizzcon schedule leaked and HFC Normal was nerfed. New WoW! Talk!

This week, Tattva (from LoS Gaming) and Sharku join the crew!   The face of raiding may be changing as Blizzard announced nerfs to 6 encounters on Normal mode Hellfire Citadel this last week. In some cases mechanics were tuned down so that casual guilds didn’t have to worry as much about personal responsibility as much, and on other bosses Blizzard removed mechanics altogether. Is this a case of tuning the encounter so that more people can see it, or could this be telling of what’s to come for normal modes of the future? The Road to Blizzcon divided over the last weekend as we saw tournaments for both the Asia-Pacific region held in Taipei and the EU region hosted in Prague. The crew will give you some of the action and predict how well some of these competitors will stack up against their American counterparts. In the Battlenet News, the guys go over some of the new stuff in Starcraft’s Patch 3.0! A new user interface and Whispers of Oblivion missions are now available on live. In Heroes of the Storm, Lt.

Episode 127 Singing Druid We record on the heels of Comic Con 2015 and fruitlessly attempt to view the Warcraft movie trailer for discussion this week. We start the show talking about our holiday time including Dustin's trip to Big Sky country. While the movie talk will have to wait, we were able to build some great discussion on the 6.2 Corey Stockton interview where we learn that Hellfire Citadel will be the last planned content patch for Warlords. We lament the potential content drought and speculate on a potential 2015 expansion! We also give hardcore Mythic raiders some love , talk about a faction-less World of Warcraft, do a non scientific garrison gold experiment and Tika sings!  We would also like to apologize for running too long to discuss our Blue Sky topic this week. But it will front and center in episode 128. Be sure to actually subscribe to this podcast to keep it AD FREE!     Join us in the conversation!

This week, CtR welcomes the guys from Line of Sight Gaming, Tattva and Tovo! In a recent interview, Cory Stockton (Lead Game Designer) announced that there were no more raids planned for Warlords of Draenor. If that’s the case, how long will we have to wait for the next expansion, and is there enough content in 6.2 to bridge the gap between Hellfire Citadel and the next expansion? What can Blizzard do to avoid another long lull between now and the next new content? Guilds are racing to world first in Hellfire, but how do they stack up? Where are some of our favorite top guilds at, and what new players have come along since last time? The crew will also take a look at some of the mythic encounters’ difficulty and give you a good overview, including when we might see a world first kill of Archimonde. Plus, the Warcraft movie is at the San Diego ComicCon! We’ve seen the pictures of all the armor and weapons, a great Legendary VR app that shows a 3D flyover of Stormwind, and heard all of the great news about turning a movie into an epic franchise. One thing WoW fans won’t see outside of SDCC, however, is the Warcraft teaser trailer, which won’t be released to the public until November. Is that a necessary part of the movie biz, or should Legendary release that trailer to the fans?   Also, the CtR crew will get to know Tattva and Tovo, what they do and how they try to put together their 2 Minute Tips for raiders and so much more in this very fun show!

http://d20crit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/AzerothPirateRadio087.mp3 Quori & Ceraphus are joined by Sean (aka Pagangeek) to discuss the current state of Warcraft, what patch 6.2 brought and what people expect vs what is reality in the latest content update from World of Warcraft.

This week we were light on Hunter news and light on Hunter hosts. We dipped into some of the general World of Warcraft news including the announcement that Hellfire Citadel will be the final raid of Warlords of Draenor. We speculate on what that might mean for the timing of the next expansion.San Diego Comic Con was this weekend so we took the time to discuss the Warcraft movie panel. And, yes, Bendak and Darkbrew do talk about Hunters. Thinking of upgrading your Skull of War trinket? We tell you if it's worth it. We also answer some questions from members of the WHU Facebook community.Episode 222 is scheduled for Sunday, July 26th at 1:30 pm Eastern.

And there are plenty of laughs, feels, and fortune cookies along the way! Don’t worry, WoW players, they’ll also give you their impressions of patch 6.2, the recent developer interviews, the Hellfire Citadel raid instance and much more.

This week on the show Tarley, Zul, and Britzza sit down to discuss WoW’s induction into the Video Game Hall of Fame, the full line-up of bosses for Hellfire Citadel, and the new pet following the release of Heroes of the Storm. For our Discussion of the Week we sit down to discuss the upcoming Q&A session from Blizzard (note: we recorded this before we were aware of the date change), and for our Prince’s Gaze we take a look at what WoW may have looked like if it was released today. Throw in a very special shoutout for our Hero’s Call, and much more, and you have Episode 42 of Geeks of Azeroth!

This week, the guys are back for all the latest WoW news… and beyond! Players got a preview of Hellfire Citadel in the form of a new post on the World of Warcraft website. Inside, it gives a broad overview of the characters and encounters raiders will face along with some very green pictures. Designers also gave some of their notes and insights on how they approached the encounters from a design perspective, which is a very cool twist! MMO-Champion released the latest raiding statistics for Blackrock Foundry. And while the health of raiding overall looks great, is there too large of a gap between heroic difficulty and mythic? The guys will give you the breakdown inside this episode. The Q&A with Lead Game Designer Ion Hazzikostas was pushed back a week to make room for a Heroes of the Storm lifestream event, and players erupted online. The CtR crew takes a look at some of the issues Warcraft players are facing right now, including the fact that WoW has to share the spotlight with some of the new Blizzard IPs. Because it looks like we’re heading into a new age of Blizzard Entertainment, CtR tries out a new segment! The Battlenet News takes a look at the big headlines from other Blizzard games. Heroes of the Storm officially released this week introducing Johanna as the latest hero, Hearthstone will be offering hero skins soon™, and Overwatch has been releasing a ton of gameplay footage over the last couple of weeks.   Also inside: World of Warcraft is to be one of the first to be inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame, fans react to Koltrane’s announcement last week, your questions and much more!

Undead pet Grave Golem can be earned by playing Heroes of the Storm and Salvage yard changes. Lore on Stalvan and how to prep your toon or new raid team for Hellfire Citadel. Also explanation on the changes coming to Ashran in the patch. pwncastdailyquest.com

This week, the gang is back for another romping ride through the latest news and opinion in World of Warcraft! Blizzard’s Lead Game Designer Ion Hazzikostas is making headlines again, this time in a recent Polygon article. Hazzokostas announced that Draenor will not see flight at all, and this direction includes future expansions. Does flying matter if the developers can create meaningful flight points? When does staying on the ground mount become more of a hassle? And what about all the new flying mounts Blizz is releasing? Also, in the latest Dev Watercolor article, itemization will be changing in patch 6.2. There are plans to change personal loot so that it’s more competitive to the group loot system, bringing more rewards and making announcements to the raid. Also, the further players progress into Hellfire Citadel, the more they will be rewarded with higher item level loot. Will these changes make a huge difference in how raids are viewed, or is this just a refinement of systems?   Also inside: how to get ready for the next patch, Koltrane’s BIG announcement, a follow up on the casual hardcore issues from last episode, your questions and more!

This week, the guys bring in a very special guest — Sloot, main tank and raid leader for Midwinter, the US 1st, World 3rd guild! First, how has the Blackrock Foundry raid instance compared with other tiers for Midwinter, and how did they manage to pull so far ahead of everyone else this time? Can they do it again for Hellfire Citadel, and do they have any new plans for patch 6.2? The guys also go in depth into the encounters for the next raid now being tested on the PTR. What has been seen on the PTR, and what is there to look forward to? Also, will these fights be just as reliant on personal responsibility as we’ve seen in Warlords of Draenor so far, and is that a good thing? The guys will even talk about some crazy mechanics that raiders will need to understand before heading in!   Plus, a preview of the Tanaan Jungle, more on Timewalking and what it’s meant to be, a recap of the Heroes of the Dorm tournament, your questions, and much more!

This week, the CtR crew sets their sights on patch 6.2, as more raid bosses get tested on the PTR! Four of the new bosses for Hellfire Citadel were put up for testing, including Kilrogg and Gorefiend, which have some unusual mechanics. And while the mechanics are interesting, there may be something more interesting happening in the background! The Warcraft movie release was moved back to June 2016. Does this mean that the film is able to contend with other summer blockbusters, and what are the pros and cons of such a move? More information was released and revised for patch 6.2, including some cool new pets, profession updates, and yes… costumes for Pepe. Even the legendary ring was updated to reveal the new group proc and how it may upgrade over time. And we’ll give you the details!   Plus, the WoW Token hits the EU, more on the new Timewalking feature and what it means for 5 man content, your questions and so much more!

This week Blizzard put patch 6.2 on the test realms, and if you’ve been looking for more content, here it is! The Tanaan Jungle will open, and includes a brand new raid tier with Hellfire Citadel. Archimonde will be the last boss of the instance, which brings up a couple of different questions. Will this tier bring in a storyline involving the Burning Legion? Will we see Sargeras? And on the other hand, what does this mean for the real world timeline of Warlords of Draenor? Opening the Tanaan Jungle is only the beginning of new content. Players will be adding to their garrison with the new Shipyard, which will not only be the initial way to get to Tanaan, but will lead to naval missions as well. A new Mythic dungeon difficulty was announced for 6.2, where players can tackle tough team content for item level 680 loot on a weekly lockout. But is reworking of current content a great catch up tool, or something that will be set aside rather quickly? The Timewalking feature will also be coming to 6.2, where old school dungeons from previous expansions will be scaled to challenge players that have out leveled them in a new sort of “heroic” difficulty. Does this light the way for more scaled content, like Timewalking in old school raids, or will this “renewing” of old content be met with indifference? Plus, more on the Legendary Ring (and it’s new proc), some BIG class changes for raiders in 6.2, and more in the jam packed episode of Convert to Raid!

Aprillian, Ashayo and Glanthur discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. What We've Been Doing: Aprillian Had 2 sex changes - Theardrion became Epril and Rifire became Auruk Brought Death Knights to Nagrand and did some other fp's in Outland with Aprillian DK can kill mobs 4 or 5 levels above them. Decided I wanted to do some instances with my DK's, tried Hellfire Citadel, doable but lots of time is needed and concentration.  Then I tried upper and lower Black Rock and then Strolohome in EP.  It was fun, but then I went back to Nagrand with Aprillian and Auruku Got Ding Recorder Addon and Epril dinged 63 but it didn't show the interface so all you see is her in a could of ding dust.  Read the info and found out how to turn on "show interface" Got my Figure Print of Aprillian: [IMG]http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/AprillianAIE/AprillianFP.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/AprillianAIE/AIETabard.jpg[/IMG] Bought a Sun Scope +40 Haste for Auruku and found out he couldn't equip it, needed a level 70 or above.  Been carrying the crossbow from Nessingwary in Nagrand.  Shoutout to Mollyshot for putting the scope on for me. Got TheJasper up to 275 in Enchanting and now can de Outland Greens Glanthur Finally got to exalted with Kalu'ak.  I love the penguin!  Now I need to farm fishing.  I also got ALL of my weapon skills to 400 that I had - including unarmed.  I got the "Knuckle Sandwich" achievement.  Also got "Ultimate Triage" which was unexpected and cool. Disappointed about lack of dailies for Argent Crusade.  I want the gun, but it'll be forever until I get enough rep through the dailies to get it. Should be exalted with The Oracles within 12 days.  I have a Mysterious Egg that I'm hoping will hatch into a Green Proto-Drake.  I doubt that it will. Respeced my Unholy Death Knight, Herid, to Blood and my Frost Mage, Palanor, to Arcane. Working on getting my pet bear, Dov, to 80 on Glanthur. Got all confused with my DK in Hellfire.  I kept wanting to ride into Honor Hold - but they don't like Horde very much there.  Old habits die hard. Also, will be getting a better microphone after Christmas with expected Christmas cash.  I'm having an inferiority complex compared to Ashayo and Aprillian's sound quality. I was affected by the Comcast/Verizon issue.  It was so frustrating!  I hope that they figure out what the cause was.  Yeah, Comcast.  . Ashayo Ran Violet Hold on both Asheal (as healer) and Ashayo (as dps) Ran Oculus on Ashayo - lots of fun doing the last boss while flying! Ashayo dinged 80 in Sholazar Basin (shortly after getting the Nessingwary achievements) Levelling Mining to 450 on two miners for titansteel cooldown. Fairly easy in Sholazar Basin. Death Knights questing in Outlands - ran Ramparts & Blood Furnace Levelling Jewelcrafting - tough around 410-420 Levelling Alchemy - research once a week - nice trinket for level 75 - tough at 420 - green to 425, then can transmute earthsiege diamond (no cooldown!) Levelling Inscription - learnt epic offhand at 400, but can't use till 425 :( Ashayo just waiting on Crashin' Thrashin' Racer to complete Winter's Veil achievements Winter's Veil questing is resulting in some nice presents in the mail! - tailor green suit - enchanting frost weapon - lw gloves - green holiday shirt - elixir of frost power Emails: Email 1 - From Blade Hey April! Feel free to edit as necessary... I did this one a bit 'on the fly' and grabbed a bunch of screenshots. Let me know when it's 'too much'... lol Michael Hey guys... Blade here... Congrats to all the winners of the contest (and kudos to those who contributed)... it's always interesting to see the variance in lifestyles of Warcraft players... Now... Ol' Blade's been doing some looking around... and has decided - for all you folks that have found your way to Dalaran and are less than impressed at how laggy it is... - to take you on a tour of the sewers... Why? It's a little less congested with mindless drones running around bogging up the server... and THAT's just the NPCs! (See?  I didn't say ANYthing nasty about Alliance players there at all!  "Diplomacy" for the win!) So... find the stairs up to the flightpath... see the hole-in-the-wall beside it? That leads down.  There's a few of these tunnels scattered around Dalaran... Beneath the hustle-bustle of the lag-infested metropolis that is Dalaran, there is a different place... Lots of darker-looking wizardy types like these guys... personally I think they've read one too many Harry Potter books (whatsit... "Nock-Turn Alley?")... but that's just me... they're dressing to fit in, you see... The Dalaran sewers is a darker, quieter place where Ol' Blade and other rogues and nefarious ne'er-do-wells like me can relax... kick back... and not have to pretend we're 'For the Light' or other such nonsense... We're creatures of shadows... and the sewers is a nice dark place... However... You'll want to be aware of where you step in the sewers... there's enough water here to hold a shark (probably for any unwary goodie-goodies that stray too far in the wrong direction... or maybe someone needs to 'get rid' of something... either way... Segacedi's been here long enough that the locals NAMED him... There's huge sewer rats... and alligators waiting to take a snap at you... Dunno what's in that area with the big chunks of meat... maybe it's something we use to spook the tourists... Lots of rats, though... I caught one unfortunate fella while I was trying my hand at fishing... caught a couple of these Magic Eaters, too... don't know what they do yet... Oh... while we're on the subject of 'Mysterious Things with Unknown Properties', you may in your visit to the sewers find one of these 'Underbelly Elixirs' sitting around on the ground... they have unknown properties and only work in the city of Dalaran... I've heard they have transformative properties... Speaking of transformations... I've been meaning to talk to the locals about this level80 rat I saw... it seems he's gathered four level 1 turtles to him and they've all been exposed to whatever oozes are on the ground in the sewers here... Maybe he'll teach them some form of combat training... and they'll grow up to become master rogues... 'ninja' turtles, if you will... All he has to do is name them... I'll suggest a list of Renaissance Painters as possible choices for him... Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael come to mind... Yep... we rogues all stick together... for example... I've been meaning to talk to Nisstina here about her stealthing skill... it's not quite so effective when your pet worg pup is standing out in plain sight for all to see... But Ol' Blade loves his fellow rogues... which is where I'm leading with my tip... a macro specifically for the more-subtle among the rogues... the Shadow Step. Now, if you've used Shadow Step, you'll know that it poofs you directly behind your target - the utility of it is clearly of the most benefit for anyone that uses daggers, though I have heard of its use in Garotting someone as well - which is not dagger specific. You non-dagger folks can adapt this macro to suit your needs. If you're specc'd enough into the Subtlety tree and use daggers, then Improved Ambush is a must-have due to its fairly massive bonus crit potential... and you will most likely have Premeditation (a talent that adds 2 combo points to your target instantly). Here's the macro I've been using to a great deal of success: /cast Premeditation /cast Shadow Step /cast Ambush Seems simple enough... and they're not all on the same timer or global cooldown, so when I pop it, and they're all ready to go, I instantly poof behind my target, and BAM! Ambush them (most likely a crit) for an easy 4 combo points! Add a final combo point here if you prefer, I do or don't depending on how much health my target has... Kidney Shot, then zip behind them (cause here you should have upwards of 80 or more Energy) and Backstab them twice... if they aren't yet dead, they're pretty darn close! To sum it up... it's a macro that has helped me immensely... I get awesome burst damage and have MUCH more survivability than I did when I was using two swords in the combat tree. Seriously... I theorycrafted it and attacked combat dummies and everything! And now... Something from Ol' Blade's Easter Egg Basket: Something I just noticed... when you're in the sewers of Dalaran... pull up your map. It says 'Circle of Wills' in the center... anyone know anything about real-life human anatomy? The 'Circle of Willis' is a collection of arteries at the base of the brain that provides a number of different supply routes for blood (and nutrients) to GET to the brain... Interesting that the circular hub (with lots of fluid) beneath Dalaran is named very similarly... perhaps the 'mind' of Dalaran could not exist without the 'Circle of Wills' in the sewers providing sustenance to it? This one's for the Hordies out there... if you're an Alliance player (and you know who you are...) you will either have to be really sneaky or roll a lowbie Horde toon to see this. Inside the bank in Undercity the four bankers are named Ophelia, William, Randolf and Mortimer respectively. The sneaky thing here is the fact that they all have the same name: 'Montague'. Is it a reference to Shakespeare? (You know... the Montague family in 'Romeo and Juliet') Ah, my friends... that is what we call a 'red herring'... the REAL secret is in their FIRST names... 'Randolf' and 'Mortimer' were the big shot banking brothers in the 1983 movie Trading Places with Dan Ackroyd and Eddie Murphy. 'Ophelia' was the love interest character played by Jamie Lee Curtis. 'William' is a probable reference to Eddie Murphy's character 'Billy Ray'. That's all for now... As always, an awesome podcast guys! Blade Email 2 from MO blizzard might fix this by the time you record again but for the mistletoe buffs, if you make a macro you can get double buffs: ew /kiss /targetlasttarget /kiss just make sure you target a revealer and than another revealer happy holidays mo PM: Message subject:      Ctrl Alt WoW show From:     Ponfarr Sent at:     Tue Dec 16, 2008 11:59 am To:     Aprillian Message Listened for first time today on my iPod during drive to work. The free month contest - I may have missed something, but what are you judging the entries on? Enchanting - Is there a mod or something that can tell me if my bank mats will only make grey enchants, helping me to decide to AH those mats? Mic Switch - I was looking online to find a gizmo that would allow me to key the mic in ventrilo using a foot switch that would replicate the keystroke. I found many, of a wide price range. Do you know anyone who uses these and could recommend one? Thanks _________________ http://tales-from-tyberiuss.blogspot.com/

An abbreviated episode this week, with Gnomewise and Iolite broadcasting from the Secret Mountain Lair. We talk about the Hellfire Citadel instance, The Blood Furnace.

Ashayo joins Aprillian in a discussion of their week of gameplay in Azeroth. The two talk about what they've been doing in World of Warcraft and alts as well as Dual Boxing. Aprillian admits to not liking some of the pressure in regularly run instances. They also discuss secondary sklls as they pertains to alts. Thanks Blizzard! What we've Been doing Aprillian Went into Hellfire Citadel with Auntrilia (Level 63 Hunter) and Rilfire (Level 60 Hunter) with Ashoyo's Hilde and Jekle     Hard for me to do the organized shooting thing.   Setting up stuff, I kind of like to just fight.  Ashayo knows the best ways.  I felt a lot of pressure. Went to Zul Farak with Aprillian (Level 43 Warlock), Treshel (Level 53 Hunter) and Auntrillia.  I was doing pretty fine, of course Auntrillia is overpowered.  I take my time make sure my 3 are in position  I mentioned in gchat that I was doing this and someone offered to join me.  They needed some of the quests finished. Practicing ignoring people in Trade - Cuts down for a small time.  A couple of times I hit invite instead of ignore and people accepted Secondary Skills: Email: I'm Nîmrod. I play a level 70 hunter main the Eitrigg realm. On my main account I have the level 70 hunter, a level 70 warrior, and a level 45 rogue I'm working on. On my secondary account I have a level 58 hunter, and a level 45 warrior. I noticed you guys were talking about dual boxing and I thought I'd share something not many people know. I play on a Macintosh. I am able to play two accounts simultaneously on the one machine! My Mac is a fairly powerful one. It's an 8-Core machine. 8 3GHz intel Xeon cores and 8GB of RAM, with an ATI 1900 graphics card with 512MB on board. I have two monitors attached, an Apple 30" display and an Apple 24" display. On the Mac, you just have to create a copy of your WoW folder and poof, you can launch two separate WoW processes. WoW is very self contained, not spreading crap all over your hard disk, and we Mac folks don't have to worry about antiquated constructs like registry files. I log into both accounts all the time using the one machine. My performance is still great. I've even done this on my Mac laptop. I open two instances of WoW on the one screen in small windows, but it works. I wouldn't want to play long that way though. It's much nicer on the large flat screen monitors. I like the podcast very much. Keep it up! Thanks, Nîmrod. The American Heritage Dictionary offers two distinct definitions of animrod -- either a hunter, or a person regarded as silly or foolish. The dictionary goes on to explain that the second meaning probably originated with the cartoon character Bugs Bunny. The wily Bugs used the term in its original sense to refer to dithering hunter Elmer Fudd, whom he called a "poor little Nimrod." Over time, however, the "hunter" meaning got dropped, and the "dithering" connotation stuck. Hi Aprillian: I just listened to my first episode of your podcast (#53) and wanted to let you know that I thought it was great. I've subscribed to it through iTunes and will definitely catch future episodes. I met Ashayo last night for the first time. We ran Shattered Halls together and he mentioned the podcast. He was fun to group with and an excellent guest on your show. Best of luck to you, Molsan

Gnomewise, Iolite, and Gwenora take on the level 70 Hellfire Citadel instance, The Shattered Halls.
