Ken and John just came back to wow a few weeks ago and are generally pleased with legion as an xpac. Review of patch 7.2 and how the gear given by Timeless Isle 3.0 is too high of ilvl. A look at upcoming class changes and a rant by Jason with regards to the planned changes for Brewmaster Monks. Ken and Jason are unimpressed with the way the Demon Hunter tanking spec was setup. Despite these negative episode notes, there is a lot of positivity as well with regards to mythic + and the new way that dailies are done and the setup of the zones to no longer have them left behind once you're levelled up.
Convert to Raid Presents: The podcast for World of Warcraft and other Blizzard Games!
This week, the CtR crew takes a look at a bunch of changes on the Warlords alpha that have some players up in arms! Blizzard has removed active mana regeneration from the latest patch (6.0.1 Alpha), and healers are being forced into a more measured style of play. While the community reacts, the question remains on whether or not Blizzard thinks it’s sustainable for raiding in the future. Several classes were hit by ability pruning this week as Blizzard figures out exactly what each spec needs to survive in Warlords. Some of the changes seem kind of extreme or random, and the gang gives you the details and their reactions to them. Look out druids and shaman! Also, Blizzard is giving each spec a 5% secondary stat boost. This will not only to give players a little bit of protection from bad drops, but also to help players understand which secondary stats are best for them. But the crew is confused as to why it’s called an “attunement." Also, the guys take a look at the latest mount to hit the Blizzard store, our latest experiences with heroic Thok, the changes to the Timeless Isle, and your questions in another very fun show!

News Hearthstone beta getting a reset. Everything will be wiped. You’ll be starting from scratch. 100 gold for each pack you bought, 150 gold for each arena. Data after this wipe will cross over into release. WoW Movie rumors Colin Farrell (Total Recall) and Paula Patton cast. Map of Timeless Isle chests on mmo-champion. They’re not all accurate. Conquest points vendor is back WoW Trivial Pursuit is available for sale. Brewfest! iLvl 470 trinkets Boulderfist and Bloodscalp are now the first two connected realms. Should DPS/HPS logs been added to the game? Mike Paladin to 90. Still don’t know my rotation. Still on the island, but still feels grindy. Almost ready to start going LFR again. Best thing in life right now is not having raids forced on me. Transferred all but two toons to ED Deleted my duplicate 90 mage on ED because of the name. I can get a mage to 90 in far less than three months if I needed to. The issue now is professions, and what to do with them on these toons.

AIE NEWS In case you missed it, AIE has launched two fundraisers to benefit the guild. The first is the Pass the Hat fund drive to cover the costs of our web hosting, meetup.com site, and other expenses a guild our size generates. The second is the AIE BlizzCon Guild Hall Kick Starter Scott Johnson announced on this show last week, which will fund the amazing AIE gathering we hold every year alongside BlizzCon. The Guild Hall has been epic in past years, and this year, the kickstarter will make sure it's even more amazing than before. If you're interested in contributing to either fund drive, please see the forums for more details. (Note: the Kickstarter is not out yet, but keep your eyes out for it!) Hey you graphic artists out there, AIE is looking for someone to create a set of icons for our UMAMI membership database website. We're currently using images shamelessly stolen off the net, but we want to do better than that, and come up with images that are unique to our community. If you've got the pixel pushing power, all the details can be found in the forums. Meetups! This week we've got several Meetups being suggested. Siv is looking to hold a meetup at the Yard House in Lakewood, Colorado on Sept 28th; Aset has suggested a meetup during the Browncoat Ball in Phoenix on Oct 4th; and Psyanide is looking to gather together during the Nashville Comic Con which runs from October 18th to 20th. If you're anywhere near those locations, see the relative posts in the Community Discussion section of our forums, and of course, don't forget we have a Meetup.com site which is perfect for planning get-together. Of course we've been talking all about World of Warcraft and especially the new zone, the Timeless Isle. One of the great things about the island is all the rares that spawn non-stop and drop epic loot. There are so many, it's a little overwhelming, and nearly impossible to figure out where one is before it gets killed. Well Romulo has come to our aid, and posted a Wowhead map showing all the rare names and spawn locations. Study it well, there are a lot of free 496 purples waiting for you! Jedis, this one is for you. Even though Star Wars: The Old Republic is free to play, they still offer a subscription, with paying subscribers getting many benefits that Free players miss out on. Rowna just posted that the subscribers will also be getting the next expansion, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, for free! New subscribers will get it if they sign up before October 20th. Previous subscribers must have been inactive before June 14th and sign up before Oct 20th to qualify. Current subscribers must stay subscribed until Oct 20th to qualify? Confused? Of course not, the Force is strong with you! So one of the reasons to play Star Trek Online is all the cool ships, right? Well let's be frank, you can't be logged into the game ALL the time, but Perfect World entertainment is giving away 3 different 1 year ‘subscriptions' so you can collect your ships OUT of the game as well! Check out the official site for more details! You know you want your Dreadnaught class starship keeping yer papers in order, check it out! Each of the 3 prizes is 24 ships!
