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.

We’d rather these two specs spend most of their Holy Power on damage-dealing abilities, with occasional healing.All non-damaging interrupts off the global cooldown will now always hit the target. This includes Pummel, Shield Bash, Kick, Mind Freeze, Rebuke, Skull Bash, Counterspell, Wind Shear, Solar Beam, Silencing Shot, and related player pet abilities.Resilience scaling has been modified for linear returns, as opposed to increasing returns. Under the new formula, going from 30 resilience to 40 resilience gives players the same increase to survivability as going from 0 to 10. Resilience now scales in the same way armor and magic resistances do. A player with 32.5% damage reduction from resilience in 4.0.6 should see their damage reduction unchanged in 4.1. Those with less than 32.5% will gain slightly. Those with more will lose some damage reduction, increasingly so as their resilience climbs.Death Knight   1. Raise Ally has been redesigned to be a battle resurrection, similar to Rebirth. It is instant cast, but costs 50 Runic Power to use, and has a 10-minute cooldown. It shares the same global battle resurrection cap with Rebirth and Soulstone.what Chilton said about Desolace at GDC**Having decided to revamp Azeroth’s original two continents, the first priority was not to change things too much. “We knew we needed to retain the soul of the original,” Chilton explained. “People had to feel like it was the same world.” In order to strike the right balance, the designers hammered out a useful maxim, attempting to ensure that the content was comprised of “one third old, one third improved, and one third new.” Desolace was flawed for a number of reasons. The quests, to close legion portals, herd Kodo beasts around, and pick a side in the centaur war, were not as compelling as the designers had hoped. The desolate landscape, while atmospheric, was deemed too “monotonous and oppressive.” The war between the centaur clans was difficult to understand. The Burning Legion presence was “more annoying than threatening.” Maybe most importantly, the two quest hubs were at the extreme ends of the zone, meaning that you had a lot of running to do if you wanted to turn anything in.In order to fix the zone’s problems, the designers decided to address the monotony first, by adding a dash of color and life to the zone. In Cataclysm, the Cenarion Circle, a group of tree-hugging Night Elf druids, moves into Desolace, creating a large, verdant area smack dab in the center. The designers also made significant upgrades to the player’s travel patterns, along with the quest mechanics.Looking back on these changes, Chilton was rueful, deciding that the introduction of the Cenarion druids and their green thumbs changed the zone too much. “I’ll be the first to say I signed off on the regrowth idea for Desolace, but it lost some of its soul.” “If you’re reworking content,” he cautioned the other designers in the room, “make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons.”Say it dont Spray itPemmoria: Great job on the podcast Kaziah and Belthal.

Contest Email/WoW Minis and Episode 100 Lunar Festival until Feb 12th What We've Been Doing: Aprillian Cabana Chat - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opM49V9Fa6Q I feel like I blossomed in Nagrand Mithril spurs helps Auruk keep up with the DK's, had the twins and Auruk in Nagrand doing a lot of quests.  They got some good upgrades and both dinged 66 The servers were down on Friday morning but came back up a little after one.  I was doing a disk repair on an external drive on the iMac so I was only on one computer.  I felt bad leaving Auruk out, but I took the twins to do [Wanted: Zorbo the Advisor].  Of course the XP is better without Auruk.  Ending up sticking around the Warmaul area grinding for powder and beads.  The level 65 and 66 mobs were easy.  I was mostly took on one each.  Also found several mining nodes including Khorium.  Finally got the iMac back up and brought in Auruk and she kept getting Warmaul skulls. I brought in Aprillian to do Tusker and when they were done, they got the achievement White Elek Nesingwary completion.  Aprillian continued on to do Dailies, while the twins and Auruk rode down into Terrakor to quest down there. Realized I need a high level DE, I have a Veyle, my level 40 Rogue who can DE up to 300, she can do Outland greens right now, so that's cool.  But I have Primall who is level 55 but is only 107.  Do I try to power level Veyle to Then I realized Aprillian was at 400 Tailoring, only 10 away from, so I spent money Friday night buying Frostweave Cloth Saturday I wanted to do the Lunar Festival but got hung up levelling Primall in enchanting.  She had a bunch of BOE stuff that she had gotten from Instances but wasn't high enough to DE.  But finally after getting Enchanting to 130, she and Veyle went to Valley of Wisdom and starting the Lunar Festival.   While in Moonglade Veyle ran up to Nighthaven to get the Runed Arcanite Rod recipe Locksmith? when asking for directions to Tailor.  Veyle is donating mageweave and silk cloth to up her xp. Guy begging in TB. Wanted 5g, I said I would give it to him in exchange for some leather. Elder Ezra replaced Elder Proudhorn Back in TB with Veyle and Primall.  Hopping around getting coins and in between stopping to level enchanting, and LW on Primall, the LW to get greens to DE.  Aprillian in Blade's Edge doing the Mana cell one and netherstorm doing the fury plans and Shutting Down Manaforge B'naar ended up teaming up with a Warlock 72 from Demise with Felhunter Sunday morning I took Epril, JC and Miner Level 66 to train, she hit 350 making an Adamanite ring, and she was able to train 59 recipes plus Grand master JC, 100g! Then she found the Lunar Festival Exclamation mark in Dalaran.  I logged on Elyte and the two of them did the initial quest.  Then I see people doing the  [Frenzied Firecracker]  and the  [The Rocket's Red Glare] achievements hard to do in laggy areas Then took Primall and Veyle to TB  to start coin collecting out that way but stopped in for the Un goro soil quest because Primall had  it and there was some soil in the bank.  Primall dinged 56.  Then they headed to Camp T Decided to take Primall and Veyle to RFD, yes I have ADD.  We got into the instance and a couple of greens dropped but decided to go back to do some more coins.  Veyle ported to Dalaran and summoned Primall, she still had Scryer for hearth. Then went to the Lunar festival in Dalaran, but they no longer had scrolls in their inventory.  They were able to get more from the Lunar chick After doing some research, I realized Primall could Ashayo Chef Ashayo at last! 3.0.8 added more cooking recipes so that the 45 version of The Northrend Gourmet was achievable. Either I miscounted, or they changed the total recipes available down from 46 because I was sure I could leave one out. The Fish Feast required 450 cooking to use, so I left it out. But it turned out I needed it. Which meant levelling cooking from 420 to 450, and since there wasn't any fish in the AH, I had to fish up about 50 of two kinds of fish and 50 rhino meat. I chose the Small Feast, since the fish it requires are both available in schools, so are easier to ensure you catch. Finally got enough mats and cooked up to 450... only to find the Fish Feast recipe required 5 Dalaran Cooking awards instead of the normal 3, and I only had 3 left. Waited for daily change-over, and it was the damn wine/cheese quest that only gives one cooking award. So I had to wait another 24 hours. In the meantime, made damn sure I had enough fish to actually make a Fish Feast once I learnt it. I was out when the dailies reset, and so finally and 2am this morning, I completed the cooking quest and got the Chef title. Phew! Worked on getting my enchanter up to 350 so he could DE level 78 gear. Wasn't too hard ; I'd stockpiled quite a few mats and the vellum's help alot. 2nd egg from Oracles hatched on my holidays - unfortunately both were aged yolk. Waiting for 3rd to hatch. 3.0.8 changes - Mining - don't have to loot to get skill up. - Rain of Fire animation (looks a bit like DK death and decay now) - Improved /follow while flying? (but toons look jerky) - Fire Seed now just millable (apparently increasing spell damage never worked anyway) - Pest Control - To all the squirrels who shared my life - Pygmy suckerfish more common (used by alchemists) - Preserved Holly - changed graphic and gives 1hr buff - but doesn't work with Dreadsteed! - Oracles - Appeasing the Great Rain Stone ; Shiny Treasures drop more often Tailor is making ebonweave and spellweave - nice that imbued frostweave requirements are down (glad I left that until after 3.0.8) Nagrand with DK - soloing level 68 group quests at 66. Camp Forge Fear chain. Did Durn the Hungerer with 1 DK and a healer. Started Lunar Festival - do for rep! Ashayo got 25 coins of ancestry and 10 Exalted Reputations (Undercity) at same time The ancestry coin for Gundrak is only available in Heroic mode. After I was in a group that completed it, summoned a bunch of other guildies to complete in easy mode. Glanthur Did a raid in Naxx (10-man) and got through a lot of the dailies in Icecrown.  I also respeced Arlaerus from Holy back to Protection.  I just really missed my shield spells.  Though, I need to get new gear now for him.  Epic flying for Arlaerus is now only 3K gold away.  I'd like to thank the guild Lost Chapter on Wyrmrest Accord for being an outstanding guild!  Thanks for all the fun times. Emails Email #1 from Tracey I just wanted to thank Aprillian for the advice on the Nagrand quest with the trampoline.  I worked on that darn quest for over an hour - with your suggestion on how to make the jump it worked on my 2nd try.  Another DK and I had to team up to kill the bird that worked well. I really get alot out of your podcasts and even though you tend to be a bit Hordish I enjoy it anyway. Have a great week - looking forward to the next podcast. Thanks, Tracey (Warhumpdy, Dkhumpdy) on Malygos (Hey to Hand of Destiny guildies) Email #2 from Patrick Hello folks Well I made another move from Garrosh to Wyrmrest Accord (now I am starting to sound like Aprillian).  The reason why I moved again is my friend missed the free window from Earthen Ring to Garrosh and we really wanted to team up and level as a group. The 2nd reason is the same as what Glanthur had stated about RP servers.  Like him, I just wanted to be on a RP server to watch role playing.  I, like Glanthur, am not a role player but I found that many players on RP servers are friendlier and tend to help out more.  Sure you always get the clowns, but in general, I find the attitude is far better. That's all for now. Email #3 from Xandarr Hello, it is Xandarr again.  http://ctrlaltwow.podbean.com/2009/01/16/ctrl-alt-wow-episode-97-respec-just-a-little-bit (But now I have made two new toons on the Perenolde Server with the Epic Dolls Guild.  You might know them as some of your fellow podcasters) Anyway, I was shocked to hear you read my email on the air.  I was so excited that when I got home that evening I let my wife listen to it.  BOY DID SHE ROLL HER EYES AT ME.  She said that not only was is more addicts trying to justiy my addiction with them, but that when she has our next baby in 8 months I have to give up the game entirely. ACK!!!  NO!!! Anyway, such is life right?  I am really not looking forwardto giving up WoW competely.  She dosn't realize I FIND MY TIME TO PLAY and NEED that time... desperately.  Even if it is an hour here or an hour there.  I just gotta find better times to make time for WoW after I take care of the baby and stuff.  I gotta find a way to make a deal with her.  Any ideas? I did write a review for you guys on I tunes under the name Jasper2112.  Love your show, and I am glad it is on weekly. FOR THE HORDE! Chilie & Cornbread (Tauren Hunter and pet cat) with Portirhouse (Tauren Death Knight) Dubbed "He-who-loves-food" by guildmates Common Dolls with the Epic Dolls guild on Perenolde Server Email #4 from Eranth Aprillian, Ashayo, Glanther (&Blade!) I thought I'd drop you a line for the next show and just make a few comments about the recent patch with the “Hunter Nerf” from the casual hunter's perspective. There had been a good deal of concern that this patch would really hose down the DPS of the Hunter.  While I believe that the result that Blizzard has come up with does tone down the DPS of the Beastmaster and likely the Marksman some, we may see the Survival Hunter tuned up to be more viable.  What I've noticed with my more casual play of my Beastmaster Hunter is that where my pets were pretty tough before, able to aggro, hold and grind down 4 or 5 mid-70's to upper-70's mobs, I'm having to throw down more Pet Mends to keep him up and going.  While I feel like my DPS has come down some, it's not nearly as drastic as I was imagining it would be. While I haven't crunched any numbers, my evidence is simply based on trying to pay attention to how encounters have gone, compared to how they felt they'd gone in the past.  I've done a fair amount of grinding out leather in Scholazar Basin, trying to pull in 3 or 4 mobs at a time, multi-shot and AOE them down, then collect the skins.  Again, the biggest difference I've noticed is having to throw down Mend Pet more often than before, because my pet isn't as tough as he used to be. I'd be interested to hear what others have experienced! Keep up the good work with Control-Alt-WoW! “Walk with the Earth Mother..” --Eranth AIE on Earthen Ring Email #5 iTunes Review

Did the Bring me the Egg Quest in the Nagrand with the two DK's Epril and Elyte.  It was hard getting the trampoline just right.  But one egg worked for both, so that was cool. On the train back, wasn't too sure about the signal.  Took Epril to get the Tortured Stone quest.  Try to do quest that require individual looting when I can only play one. Also transferred over Pets for my alliance toon to sell.  Doing a brisk business.  My horde toon at the NAH in BB is a level 39 mage.  Comes in handy.  I set her hearth to BB, she can teleport to UC and TB for cockroaches and prairie dogs respectively and then hearth back to BB.  I still have a toon on that account in Eversong Woods to buy dragonhawk hatchlings. Sunday night queue queue on ER so went to Lethon.  I had Belover in WC grinding leather.  She was at 60 this pass week, I'm getting her to 150 in WC and then she'll move on.  She summoned Aprillian, a level 13 Rogue and Aprillian is getting nice drops including the Gloves of Fang. Monday night I was stuck in Chicago, I was put up in a room and played WoW.  I took Aprillian out to do a daily. Monday evening queues on ER, logged into Lethon and took my DK's there out skinning and herb picking in WC.  Why are the herbs in WC 100 Kingsblood and 125 Bruiseweed Logged  into ER a little later on.  Fought Bangar, one of the Nessinwary Elite with the two DK's, a piece of cake.  Went over to the consortium and turned in some crystals and became friendly.  Epril, the miner, bought some JC patterns she can't use yet.  Nothing for inscripters, poor Elyte Did some more Consortium quests, but then some horde were attacking Haala.  I was going from DC to Providence and thought I had a good connection One small problem, find herb and find minerals resetting at log in, a pain if I forget to turn it on. Decided to check on my AH alt, almost sold out of everything. Also decided to Glanthur Respeced Arlaerus from Protection to Holy and leveled him from 70-73 Doing Heroics with Glanthur and collecting Badges of Heroism Lots of Icecrown dailies Dwarven Alliance is a good guild! The Bladed Edge So there I was... wandering through Grizzly Hills on my way to snapping up my Northrend Explorer achievement... while listening to Episode 96 (specifically the emails section)... when I came across some critters in the pvp area of Venture Bay. As Forlornelf said... four deer and four mice! So... to answer the question: yes, I did know about them (about fifteen minutes before I heard it mentioned in Episode 96)... but Ol' Blade's not so egotistical to not be able to admit when he doesn't know something about something... WHY those critters are there, specifically... and why they're in the configuration they're in - four deer and four mice... and why they have multiple groups of them all climbing the hill every thirty seconds or so from 20,77 to 20,72 (I saw two distinct paths of them)... I have NO idea. But yeah... good find, Forlornelf... not many people travel out that way. I debated and debated as to whether I wanted to do the world pvp in the area... the quests being worth xp and all... and decided to continue my solo project... the results of which I hope to be able to provide soon... As mentioned, Ol' Blade's been travelling hither and yon across the world of Azeroth (and Outland) striving towards a few achievements - partly because the best way to experience the game is by going there. So I went. To Stormwind. And took the tram to Ironforge... but not before jumping off midway to catch a look at Nessy the Sea Serpent! Also... what's the deal with the gnomes in the Deeprun Tram tunnel?  One's named Haggle... he seems to be a /nod to the movie Labyrinth and the character 'Hoggle'... he was short and ugly too... but there's a second gnome... Monty... and he's got three boxes behind him... perhaps a 'Let's Make a Deal' Monty Haul reference... the problem is... each of those boxes is full of rats... and as this Monty fellow is a 'Rat Extermination Specialist'... I somehow doubt there's a wad of cash in Box Number Three. Onward... to Ironforge... fished up my Fishing Diplomat achievement while I was there... and nearly ran afoul of some over-eager Alliance players that thought I would be easy-pickings as a PVP target. Needless to say... I remained unscathed. Took a few screenies of the Dwarf bankers I mentioned before... just so I can say I did it... And by the time this episode airs, I'll have gone back at least once more to try to fish up Old Ironjaw one more time. That is... unless the randomly wandering, stealth-detecting level 80elites in Stormwind and Ironforge don't catch me first. ('Cause you Alliance players don't seem to be able to... ZING!) But yeah... I haven't moused over the patrolling NPCs in Orgrimmar or Thunder Bluff in a while... but last I knew WE didn't have level 80 goons all over OUR major cities... For all I know, we do... but even if we do... somehow I doubt we have anywhere near as many. Ah well... those super-elites are probably a good thing... they're probably the only thing stopping ol' Blade from setting up in Stormwind as my hometown... that and the lack of a friendly innkeeper. Moving on. From the 'Dirty Little Tricks' Department: Back to Rogues again... this time we're being extra-especially sneaky. As you may all suspect, Ol' Blade doesn't make ALL of his money by questing or even playing the Auction House Stock Market... a respectable chunk of Ol' Blade's finances are gotten via the "five-finger discount"... for those not already aware... I pickpocket every chance I get. Some of the higher level mobs in Northrend are netting me upwards of 50-75 silver per pickpocket. Go through a couple dozen of them at a time... especially if you can find a host of (non-aggressive) Neutral ones. Here's another macro fit for saving space on the hotbar: /cast Sap /cast Pick Pocket The benefits of this little combo are obvious. If, for some reason your pick pocket was to fail, you pop out of stealth. Tapping this combo lets you at least have a sap on the mob allowing you a decent chunk of time to simply run out of aggro range long before the sap wears off. Quick and dirty. From Ol' Blade's Easter Egg Basket: For all you Lore Buffs out there... it's fairly common knowledge that the Thandol Span Bridge (between Arathi and the Wetlands) was destroyed by the Dark Iron Dwarves. There is a corpse underwater beneath the bridge that starts a (so far as I know) Alliance-only quest called 'Sully Balloo's Letter' (You deliver the letter to Sara Balloo in Ironforge) Now... here's where things get interesting... Sullivan Ballou was a soldier during the U.S. Civil War who sent a letter to his wife Sara on July 14, 1861. The in-game letter is a reference to the real-life letter written by Sully (Sullivan) to Sara. As another interesting parallel, the dwarves of Ironforge and the Dark Iron dwarves have been at each others throats since THEIR civil war... approximately 200 years ago, gametime. And for something a little more light-hearted? A little-known quest in the Barrens. Just outside Crossroads along the road to Ratchet, there will be a hut on the north side of the road... outside you will find a Tauren vendor of bread (Tarban Hearthgrain) and a small Orc boy named Gruk. Inside, though, are two individuals - Duhng, a Cooking Trainer, Guard Taruc (feasting on a bench at the back) and Grub, who gives you a quest called "Dig Rat Stew". It's not a very difficult quest, but the fun part is Grub's comment at the end. "You can't call yourself a seasoned adventurer until you've spent some time killing rats! Haw!" Most MMOs (WoW included) are known to force starting players to kill trivial creatures like rats or insects during the first few levels of play. With this little tongue-in-cheek homage, Blizzard makes reference to this little factoid and also provides a recipe to COOK the rats! Yum! - Show quoted text - Email #1 The Ruk said... Wow, congrats to Aprillian hitting 70! I bumped into her a few days ago while dragging myself through the Outlands, Nagrand I think it was. We were both standing at a flight point. I was so stunned when I noticed the big 7-0 that by the time I came to my senses, she had flown away before I could offer my "grats" in person. So a big /salute on your accomplishment! As someone who has been listening to the podcast for quite some time, I know this has been a long time coming. Keep up the great work everybody, Rukgut December 30, 2008 10:51 AM Email #2 MO shares this link with us: http://www.wired.com/gaming/gamingreviews/magazine/17-01/pl_games and writes: Hello again, as always thank you for your work and we are patiently waiting for your first '09 podcast. I finally shelled out the gold for my mains epic flyer, but now im sad that he is down to double digit gold now!:( I wanted to ask you all about quest helper and see if it is operator error on me or it is what it is. I have loved quest helper and yes it is a cheat button or easy mode whatever people may call it, it does make things a lot quicker, for questing that is of course. But it has always used lots of mb, for me as much as 35 up to 50 mb! My system can handle it but when I turn off QH the game does run smoother and my mb usage goes down to only 30 mb in total. What do you suggest or recommend? I have a laptop so I really cant get more ram but 2 gig's is enough, and if there is a setting i can change that will help that please let me know. Thank you and hope everyone had a great new years. And a shout out to all my friends on wow, and if I can plug my guild, Uptown Tavern, on the Balanzaar server, we have been around from the beginning and have always been a great leveling guild.

I have been listening to your show for some months now and have been enjoying it very much, i love how mostly Aprillian and Ashayo are so different in there play styles and there thinking of the game and it brings so much back to us listeners. Its great lol. Well myself, i'm from england so i'm on the EU, server draenor or also better known as Drama EU with the amount that goes on here lol. i have been playing this game on and off for quite some time now (almost from the begining but not quite) my main that i play is a fuzzy Druid tank called Dreamweaver and i am LOVING playing him, tonight i have just come out of Naxx 25 after clearing just over 3 wings of it. One thing i wanted to say is about people saying how easy it is, yes i do agree it is easy (ish) but still its only an opening raid, and how many people have cleared it so far? ofc all the good guilds have cleared it, and why is that? because they are good.... a LOT of people are still having problems with it and cant finish it, have more guilds cleared it than would of before say Pre BC?, Yes.. and why is that? because that's what blizz wanted it to be like. Just wait and see is all i will say about that. Dreamweaver isnt my only toon i play on, infact he wasn't my first. as i have been on and off the game i have QUITE a few toons lol. My first toon was a priest called Aramite and he was my 1st lvl 60 i ever had (if people can remember 60 being the max lvl) i had him and used to raid in the good ole days of Molten Core/BlackWing Lair, didn't get a chance to down Neffy before BC came :(.  Just before BC came upon us i was lvling a hunter called Nightweaver and got him to lvl 60, i was having SOO much fun playing him that i decided that he would be my 1st lvl 70 when BC came about as it was comming out very soon, so thats what i did, he got to lvl 70 but i had to get back to my priest as i didn't feel right leaving him to gather dust Stood in a dark damp corner of Ironforge crying :( sooo i managed to get him up to lvl 70 as well and after a while went back to healing with him. But being an altoholic i just had to have more as i loved playing around and being able to learn about an new toon and what they could do, i already had a Healer in epics and also a ranged damage dealer in very good gear so i went to pick out one of my low lvl toons that would be up there close to the action, so what better then a rogue to slice and dice with, being all dark and stabby stabby i had mine called Night (fitting in with my hunter) i enjoyed lvling with him but for some reason i didn't like it as much as my hunter or priest but i stook with him and got him to lvl 70 yet at lvl 70 i still didnt enjoy him as much :( SOOO with blizz bringing out Shamens and paladins to the oppisit factions i didn't jump on the bandwagon until now, i lvled a shammy, it took me quite a while to lvl so i swapped out now and again to lvl a warlock (called nightfall, see how after my 1st toon i started to tie all my toons names together) i got my shammy to 70 (yet another 70 i know) i left them alone and started to enjoy my priest and hunter..... Until things started to look bleak in the guild, things got worse and worse so needed somewhere to get away seeing as all these toons were in the same guild. I had a very low unlooked after mangy druid that i said to myself why not, so after some time he was the only one i was playing and joined up with a very nice guild called Angelic Knights, time passed by and he was lvl 70, even more time passed by and he was in raids passing all my other toons gear lvl. and then it came up to another expansion Wrath and yet another choice to make on who to get upto lvl 80? my priest who was my first toon? my hunter who i had so much fun with? another toon that i had got up? you guessed it, i went with my beloved fuzzball Dreamweaver my one and only cute ball of fur druid and to this day i knew i made a right choice. I'm babbling on a bit here and didn't see the time, its 40 mins past midnight here and i need to be up at 6 :( but ohwell its friday and only half a day so thats not bad. I just want to say thanks to all three of you and keep bringing out a smashing pod cast. Hugs and kisses from a smelly druid that just wants some /hugs (Sorry for this being a total mess, its quite late and i need sleep, hope you can read it ok >.< ) Email # 5 from Ginsue Hey Guys, Love the show. I have been listening now for about 6 weeks or so. On a past episode you talked about your play style of leveling alts instead of playing end game. You questioned that fact that you may be missing something about Wow. The truth is you are missing a large aspect of Wow that is very enjoyable for a large number of folks. This does not by any stretch mean that "you are doing it wrong." You missed some fun raiding in BC that I guess you could go back later and see but I don't think it would be the same. From listening to your podcast I can tell that you enjoy the smaller parts of the game that a lot of the rest of us don't catch or ignore. So though you miss some things it sounds like you are having a hoot doing it your way. I am guilty of running like a mad fool to the end to see the end game content instead of taking my time and seeing everything that there is to see. This play style has its ups and downs like anything else. Have any of you noticed the gal you buy jewel patterns from in Dalaran is named Tiffany Cartier. I thought it was neat. Keep up the good work!! Ginsue 80 Blood Elf Rogue iTunes Review from Ginsue, thanks! Email #6 from Xandarr Question for you that I would like to bring up:  How can I get my wife to understand that my WoW play is not an addiction but a way to releive stress at the end of the day.  I only play a couple hours a night while we watch TV together.  Or on Friday nights I stay up late after my wife goes to bed or I wake up early on the weekends to play while she is still sleeping.  How can I get her to think differently about the game?  How could I show her the social aspect or the way I play?  Does that make sense? Xandarr the Ambassador Protectorate Paladin of theTwiizted Blackened Roses Trollbane Server Email #7 from Mimdalf I cant believe you guys picked me!  Thank You so very much.  I would like the free month, incidentally it will be my last month playing World of Warcraft as I am being deployed the first week of March with my Calvary unit.

Aprillian, Glanthur and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. What We've Been Doing Aprillian: This has been my best week ever. 12/22/08 @ 2141 server time, Aprillian dinged 68. At the advice of Glanthur and Ashayo, she headed to Northrend.  It was great and overwelming at the same time.  I enjoyed Howling Fjord, the quest were different and fun and I read the quest text.  Only got a little confused by the two quest you have to fly to.  The first time I did the bombing ship quest, I didn't realize I was suppose to drop the bombs from the air, so I flew out and back and had to go again.  Each quest were intricate and not the normal kill and loot and return.  I loved fighting side by side with our own NPC's. Plenty of herbs in NR. I loved the dudes in Baleheim, they were suppose to be these nordic giants but their hair looked like dreadlocks.  I hope we get that hair style in the game the next exp. Joined a level 70 for the quest and she immediately popped up Free for all and so I left the group.  Plays with her boyfriend, ended up being pretty cool. I continued to play just Aprillian.  It was very hard to do, I kept wanting to have my skinner with me or a miner. Summoning Felguard when current one loses health. And on Christmas eve she dinged 69.  I loved the New Agammand and the gathering of the body quest.  The one where you went into the plagued village and made one of those UC guard things and then exploded on the plagued Valkri guys was fun. I am loving the feel of Northrend.  Got to the Tusky people, the icebergy look is cool Pumped to get to 70. Christmas day, grinding so hard in NR, it's crazy.  Aprillian dinged 70 on Christmas even on her lunch hour Starting to have Space management issues. Bought another Guild Bank tab for We Live to serve Did my first Daily.  I suppose I need to go to that island now.  And no, I am no hurry to get to 80.  Went to put on my first gem and it didn't work. I am loving flying. Aprillian bought the Mythic Spellthread from Scryer, and made one Encountered Queues on Sunday night. Monday I pulled both Epril and ThePrimall and Auruk down to Nagrand.  Epril is 63 and Theprimall is 62, so they can't do any quests, but they just followed Auruk and helped him when needed Making money on the AH Talked with nieces and nephews about WoW at Family gathering, way cool Glanthur Ashayo Full week! A second 80 - Asheal dings! Topped and tailed by instance runs on Death Knights. Looks like I'll be levelling just by running instances. Running them with 3 DK's, 1 Hunter, and Jekle for heals. Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Slave Pens, Underbog. Already 63. Tried keyclone with two DK's but because they are both melee, it is hard to position them Professions: - Stopped 'learning' from daily inscription research. There are only 60 minor glyphs - 6 per class. You just stop learning ; it doesn't say anything useful like "you know them all" - Levelled inscription to 425 so I can use the epic offhand. (Ponfarr PM'ed me to say that restriction is being removed in the next patch. YAY) - Cooking achievements to get over 3000 - Sous Chef - 100 recipes ; good money making in AH by looks of it Daily quests: - "Aces High!" Wyrmrest quest opens up at 80. Fairly tricky vehicle quest (flying dragon). Much easier in a party - or dual boxing with key clones - Started doing Oracle dailies - three, but varies each day, and an achievement to do them all. Egg that hatches into things including pet or mount... waiting! Respec! - Changed Ashayo from affliction for 1st time ever. Now a hybrid Destruction/Demonology. DPS much improved. Increased from around 800 dps to 1500. Started running some Heroics with Ashayo, and the difference a strong group makeup makes is significant. Missing: Siphon Life CoExhaustion Dark Pact Unstable Affliction Haunt Gained soul link Fel Domination Demonic Empowerment Summon felguard Heroics - Azjol'Nerub ; trash on first boss tough without cleansing - humbling - Utgarde Keep - easy - Drak Tharon keep - achievements - Better off Dred, Oh Novos! (Palatinus mad tank, Onassi mad healer) Random note of the week: Can fly onto Zepp while leaving Borean Tundra enroute to Org Asheal has managed to heal some more instances: Ran Halls of Stone in Storm Peaks.  It includes very "Indiana Jones" type event, followed by a long lore discussion. Quite interesting! Tried helping out with healing in Riversky's Naxx group on Asheal Managed to down 4 Horsemen, Patchwerk, and Grobbulus (first time kill) Winter's Veil Presents! Love having so many alts - got all the presents easily, including jingling bell and both red and green winter helpers. Had decided the jingling bell was most rare, then logged onto alliance and got four of them! Emails and PM From Blade Hey guys... "Professor" Blade here... In my quest to optimize my characters with well-put together macros, I hit a stumbling block. Also... there's a bit of a snag coming up for hunters in patch 3.0.8... we / they are losing a fair chunk of dps. Yeah yeah... I know there arer some hunters out there that are saying 'It's not THAT bad'... but I will counter this naivete with 'It's bad enough when they're buffing a class like Deathknights... making it even easier to /roll your face across your keyboard to win. But I digress... Ol' Blade's not here to rant about silly things out of his control... I'm here to give an edge to the players that still like a little bit of challenge to their game. Those of you that have interracted with me in game will probably know that I vastly prefer to play my Hunter over my Deathknight... because I find the Hunter more challenging. (Seriously! There's are two two-handed tanking swords out there!) That said... of late I was playing around with some macros in anticipation of the upcoming nerf... attempting to figure out how to keep my hunter's dps in the acceptable range... Aspect of the Beast.  Have you noticed the new changes to it? It used to be a pretty useless Aspect... only making you untrackable... useful in PVP, I suppose... but not anywhere else. NOW, however... it's got an extra little boost.  +10% to pet damage. THIS changes everything. I have that little treasure up almost all the time now. I've also jury-rigged some macros together to cast different Aspects when I used different attacks or items... For example... whenever I mount up on a land mount or my flier, I cast Aspect of the Viper... I won't be in combat ANYway, why not get a big mana regeneration boost while I'm moving from Point A to Point B? The problem came when I linked the macros to the spells I wanted to cast... I'd cast the spell once, and all was good, then I'd cast ot again and the Aspect would turn off! What to do? I searched and searched and finally found my answer deep in the archives of some long-forgotten tome in Ironforge... (Not really, but it sounded good, didn't it?) An Exclamation Point.  ! Put an exclamation point in front of your macro text... what this does is makes the command 'sticky' and will cast it only if it's not on/active already. For example... here's the one I've put together for pet attacks: /cast Hunter's Mark /cast !Aspect of the Beast /PetAttack The exclamation point in the second line keeps the Aspect going no matter how many targets you send your pet after... and as Aspects cost no mana, all you'll see is the Aspect popping again and again as you switch targets. If you leave out the exclamation point, you will toggle the aspect on and off each time you switch targets. Here's another one in the event you're hopping on and off your mount, but not in combat... /cast !Aspect of the Viper /cast Swift Green Wind Rider This will keep your Aspect on whether you hop on or off your particular mount of choice. Oh... as a final tip for hunters?  To get used to the upcoming nerf, play almost 100% with Aspect of the viper on... the huge damage reduction will make the 3.0.8 patch seem not so bad. Hope that helps! And now a little something from Ol' Blade's Easter Egg Basket... With everyone doing achievements and running hither-and-yon across the old world doing the old-world dungeons, you will inevitably find yourself in Gnomeregan. As an Alliance, it's easy to get there... get yourself to Ironforge, exit the main entrance and run west. As a Horde, you've either got one heckuva run ahead of you, or you can do a small quest chain starting at the Engineer shop in Orgrimmar. First you have to take the quest 'Rig Wars' from Nogg, then Sovik (the goblin engineer) offers a second quest that sends you to Booty Bay to talk to another engineer there (Scooty)... from Scooty you get a little device (Goblin Transponder) that will 'port you to Gnomeregan. Getting back is an entirely different matter, though. While killing mobs in Gnomeregan, you will eventually happen across a White Punch Card. These are used to access different areas in Gnomeregan based upon their colors. You can change the colors of the cards by using special machines called 'Matrix Punchographs'... but that's not the secret. Each color of card has a different string of binary code on it. I'm not going to type them all out here... but I *will* give you the translations... White Punch Card: Thrall and Jaina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G Yellow Punch Card: If you can read this, you're standing too close. Blue Punch Card: The gnome king wears night elf underwear. Red Punch Card: Help! I'm trapped in a binary punch card factory! Prismatic Punch Card: Message to Castpipe: your laundry's ready for pickup. Second... I know Ol' Blade's been a little hard on the Alliance of late... so I found this little goodie to follow the theme of last week's bank NPCs... All you Hordies out there will have to roll lowbie Alliance toons or sneak into Ironforge like I did... There's three bankers... all of the Stonemantle Clan... nothing noteworthy about the name Stonemantle... but wait... it's a first-name thing again, isn't it! Very astute, my young apprentice... their names are Barnum, Bailey and Soleil. Barnam and Bailey are probably the more commonly known... from Barnam and Bailey's Circus, naturally... Soleil is from the Cirque du Soleil - an acrobatic circus. This gets me thinking, though... how much respect can I truly give the Alliance faction... when they have former circus clowns as bankers? As always, an awesome podcast guys! Blade PM Previous PM | Next PM Message subject: Weapon Leveling From: Ponfarr Sent at: Tue Dec 23, 2008 7:44 am To: Ashayo Message Heard your last podcast. I leveled my polearm skill against one of those heroes in Blasted Lands (you said Netherstorm or Shadowmoon I think....dont know about those guys), but last night I tried again on my gun and found out (like you) that they changed that for those guys too. However, I did read about another method which I have not tried yet. Go fight the healers (monk or something) in Scarlet Monestary. They will continually heal themselves during the fight. You should use a low level weapon with low damage. Email 2 'ello! Marrly, on the Eonar realm, here writing again. Randomly I got to the big eight-zero within a few days of getting the expansion but that is random info. Sadly I never got my artisan Flying training but by my odd luck I got myself the epic engineering plane (A monetary setback) and the bronze drake from the Cavern of Time Culling of Stratholme Time run. Fun... But onto My real question: I myself Can only barely run WOW application once on my computer at the lowest settings. How do you manage to run two or more Wow apps at once? I am frankly confounded about it
