Hosted this week by: Woolly, Gershom, and Bentolas Pencils with messages on them are awesome because the message changes over time.

World of Warcraft bietet uns Spielern eine riesige Welt, die erforscht werden will. Mit jeder Erweiterung übertreffen die Entwickler sich erneut und erschaffen wundervolle Zonen. Die Gebiete auf Kul Tiras und Zandalar sind einfach traumhaft und werden mit einer ebenso eindrucksvollen Musikkulisse untermalt. Doch ebenso ist es mit jedem Addon so, dass man während der Levelphase durch die Welt streift und nach dem Erreichen der Maximalstufe steht der Charakter oft nur noch in der Hauptstadt herum und wartet darauf in eine Instanz teleportiert zu werden.  Zwar versuchen die Entwickler uns durch z.B. Weltquests und auch der Kriegskampagne raus in die Spielwelt zu locken, doch das ist nur ein kleiner Tropfen auf einem riesigen heißen Stein. Es ist so viel möglich, aber viel wird nicht geboten. Und das, obwohl bereits früher diverse Konzepte umgesetzt wurden, die dann irgendwann auf einmal weg waren. Ziemlich schade, denn die Designer geben sich unglaublich viel Mühe eine atmosphärische Landschaft zu erschaffen, die wir nur selten durchstreifen. In dieser Ausgabe des Tavern Talks geht es deshalb um mögliche Ideen, um die Spielwelt wieder lebendiger zu machen!

Sammler sind in World of Warcraft schon seit jeher gut aufgehoben und mit jedem Addon gibt es mehr Gründe in Ohnmacht zu fallen, wenn man sieht, wie viele neue Objekte eingefügt werden. Haustiere, Reittiere, Erfolge, Transmogzeug, Spielzeuge, Illusionen, Glyphen, Erbstücke und so weiter und sofort. Mehr denn je davon finden wir auf Kul Tiras und Zandalar! Eine Vielzahl von neuen Modellen, Texturen und coolen Effekten ein, die das Sammlerherz höherschlagen lassen. Doch wie sehr spornen diese Belohnungen eigentlich noch an?  Es gibt so viel und eigentlich benutzt man doch eh nur immer die gleichen Sachen. Zwar freut man sich eventuell kurz, wenn man eine Neuheit bekommt, aber diese verstaubt irgendwann im Stall, dem Kleiderschrank oder der Spielzeugkiste. Es wäre vielleicht mal an der Zeit, dass die Entwickler komplett neue Arten von Sammelsachen ins Spiel reinbringen. Und genau darum geht es auch in dieser Ausgabe des Tavern Talks. Was wäre so alles möglich?

Topic: World of Warcraft   This week, we start the process of learning about one of my favorite games of the last decade, and Mom gets to come and journey with me on it.  We’re learning about World of Warcraft, and while we can’t talk about everything, we’ll certainly give you a good idea of what it’s all about!   Tutorial   MMORPG – Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Developed and Created by Blizzard Entertainment, now Activision Blizzard Interactive. Based on previous MMOs, like Runescape, Ultima Online, Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, and many other game. Personal Favorite were Phantasy Star Online and Ragnarok Online Blizzard knows how to distill the core, fun elements of a game, rebuild it in their own image and what is fun about it, and then paint a rich narrative over the entire game to bring it to life. Blizzard is well known for their Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo franchises. A good studio that puts out quality games.   History Beginning development in 1999-2000 around the same time as development on Warcraft 3. Elements from Warcraft 3 helped shape the story, character, world, and races of the upcoming World of Warcraft. Announced in 2001, released in late fall of 2004.  Immediate success based of studio’s previous work and franchise of Warcraft a few years earlier. The game was a worldwide success, and quickly became the most popular and largest game in history.  Additional expansion are released every two years to provide new mechanics, character classes and/or races, new locations to visit, and new stories/lore.   Vanilla/Classic (2004) Initial incarnation of the game.  Story takes place on Azeroth, a fictional, fantasy world with two major factions trying to bide for control over the world: The Alliance(Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, & Night Elves) The Horde (Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, &Undead(Forsaken)) Each control major areas of two continents and war against each other in an eternal struggle.  Original story focused on a Dragon lord trying to come to power. Blood gods of the Trolls seeking to corrupt the world. Ancient bugs awakening from their slumber. And the Undead returning to finish the job.   Classic versions of the original game were recently released in August of 2019 to allow players to play the original version of the game.     The Burning Crusade (2006) Set in the world of Outland, the former home of Orcs. Alliance recruits the Dranaei. Horde recruits the Blood Elves. Story has us fighting against the Burning Legion, the universal evil bad guys set on destroying all life. Eventually to fight a big bad named Illidan Introduction of Flying in game     Wrath of the Lich King (2008) Set on the continent of Northrend Introduced a new player class (Death Knights) for all races Story follows forcing trying to subdue the big bad Lich King from Warcraft 3 Marked what many feel is the high point of the game. 12 Million Subscribers high.     Cataclysm (2010) Revamped the 1-60 game world, drastically altering the landscape of the game to allow flying and new game effects. Alliance recruits the Worgen. Horde recruit a faction of Goblins Some class/race combinations rebalanced for more options. Story follows heroes trying to stop the dragon ‘Deathwing’ from destroying the world.  He’s the one that caused the world to sunder, otherwise known in game as ‘The Cataclysm’. New world also introduced a more dynamic story that would begin to play out over multiple expansions and lead in to the next one over time.   Mists of Pandaria (2012) Set in the land of Pandaria, a place hidden in mist until the Cataclysm revealed it. Alliance and Horde recruit Panderians, New class known as the monk introduced. Story follows the Alliance and Horde bring war to a new place that hadn’t seen it and causing a mess. Eventually capped off with the Leader of the Horde trying to start a genocide of his own faction and his eventual downturn.   Warlords of Draenor (2014) Returned to Outland before it became Outland, and even went back in time. Introduction of Garrisons as a major feature. Story followed form warchief going back in time to before the orcs were corrupted, and trying to build the Horde he always wish it would be.  We would stop the new horde from advancing in to our world and taking it over. Game quickly begins to slow down, with the game being less than well received and considered lackluster.  Entire raid content/patch was dropped.   Legion (2016) Set in the Broken Isle, a lost location where the Burning Legion has returned thanks to Gul’dan from last expansion being sent to our world. Introduced the Demon Hunters to the game. Revamp of all Classes and specs to create dynamic, individual game play, and Order Halls. Story follows us trying to stop the burning Legion of returning and putting an end to their campaign once and for all. Many people happy about this expansion and considered a new high point.   Battle for Azeroth (2018) Current expansion. Set on islands of Kul Tiras and Zandalar, forgotten lands in wow lore. We recruit new allied races to assist: Alliance gets Light Forged Dranaei, Void Elves, Dark Iron Dwarfs, Mechagon Gnomes, and Kul Tirans Horde get High Mountain Tauren, Nightborne, Mag’har Orcs, Vulpera, and Zandalari Trolls. Story initially starts as a continuation of the Horde vs Alliance, but quickly find the new WarchiefSylvanas trying to kill everyone for a secret agenda. Continued on success of Legion in story and gameplay.   Shadowlands (2020) New expansion set in the land of the dead.  Revamp of Order Halls and revamp of character abilities. Changing leveling process back to 60 cap level, making each expansion the 10-50 experience. Story revolves around Sylvanas opening up a portal/hole to the shadowlands, but for unknown reasons. Planned for 3rd quarter of 2020.     Classes:  Warriors – Heavy Plate soldiers, good at all weapons, great at tanking. Paladins – Holy Warriors, can do close combat, plus tanking, and Healing. Death Knights – Unholy knights, good at tanking, but channeling unholy skills to do damage Shamans – Nature warriors that call upon the raw elements to attack and heal. Hunters – Similar to rangers, good with all long range combat Rogues – Typical thief, can hide in stealth and strike enemies with ease. Druids – Shape-shifter that rely on nature magic to transform in to either healers,  tanks, melee or ranged damage Monks – Barehanded warriors who are drunk tanks, quick melee fighters, or mystical healers. Demon Hunters – Similar to Illidan, these are warriors infused with demonic energy that can also be tanks Mage – Typical wizard channeling the fire, ice, or arcane magic Warlocks – Dark wizards that use fel and shadow to summon demons to do their bidding. Priests – Holy wizards that excel at healing, but have an unholy damage.     Things to do in game: Leveling/Alts – Common is to level your character until max level, or start a new character and level up all over again Dungeons – 5 man groups tackling various smaller issues, usually relating/theming to current events/expansion Raids – 10-25 man groups tackling bigger dungeons, almost always related to the current events/story Player Vs Player – various areas, themed objectives, and open world fights between the Horde and Alliance.  Pet Battles – Introduced in Cataclysm, think Pokemon with your in game pets Dailies – series of objectives that can be completed daily for various rewards Transmog – Hunting Gear or looks from various sources/objectives Role Playing – Popular amongst roleplay servers, allowing character to act out stories with their characters.

This is Tales of War, an audio drama set in the Warcraft universe. As the war between the Horde and Alliance intensifies, we follow the blood elf Kaedien and the gnome Strick in their journeys and adventures. Chapter 5 - Siege and Defense of Dazar'alor. War has come to the shores of Zandalar. The Alliance has assaulted Dazar'alor - and Strick and Kaedien find themselves in the middle of it. How will their efforts impact the battle?

May not happen til next week just because of other things going on IRL. Mike: Half way through exalted on some rep Still friendly with turtles Started my monk up again, but didn’t have nearly enough time to play yet. Basically checked out talents. No dungeons yet. I hate frost outdoors So many resources! I wanted to do timewalking this weekend and just had zero time. This Week in WoW: Darkmoon Faire - Oct 7th - 13th World Quest Bonus Week starts Oct 9th - tooltip says it’s for Broken Isles WQs? Running of the Gnomes/Great Gnomeregan Run on Scarlet Crusade, 4 PM PDT, Saturday October 13th - annual fundraiser for breast cancer research. Starts at the spawn spot of new gnomes - there is a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RunningofTheGnomes/ News: Update: WoW Diary Kickstarter ended September 25th with 8,379 backers pledging $598,999 - biggest nonfiction book Kickstarter in history By far the most popular tier was the $40 backers for both the electronic book and print book with 6,661 backers (80%), followed by the $150 level for the electronic book, signed copy of the print book and companion booklet with 1,117 backers (13%) For those who missed this Kickstarter, the book will eventually be available on Amazon for about 20% more than the Kickstarter edition and without the perks Mike Morhaime stepping down as President of Blizzard; J. Allen Brack, Wow’s Executive Director for WoW, taking over. Morhaime will remain as a “strategic advisor” to Blizzard. https://blizzcon.com/en-us/news/22456082/throw-your-own-epic-blizzcon-celebration-with-the-virtual-ticket-viewing-party-kit?linkId=100000003674039 Upcoming Azerite armor changes - Blizzard realizes there are problems with the current system Make Azerite armor more available - looking to add Azerite Armor rewards from Emissary quests that scale up to 370, depending on current iLevel. Also mentioned “making further improvements to the ways Emissaries reward gear”. When new Azerite Armor is introduced in “BfA Season 2” (Patch 8.1), armor that currently only has 2 possible traits will get a third. Continuing to work on the individual traits themselves - balancing out those who want more generic traits for wider applicability, vs. those who want to fine-tune traits to specs or situations The first problem - overall availability -- will be hotfixed in before 8.1. The third trait slot and the new abilities won’t come in until the patch. 8.1 news Players beyond level 110 will be able to enter Legion era raids in LFR difficulty Achievements: Noblegarden: “Shake Your Bunny Maker” is being changed to place rabbit ears upon any character over level 18, not just female characters. On the Frontlines: New achievement to complete all six Horde or Alliance assaults Several new Battle Pet achievements, based on previous expansion achievements to defeat all 15 Master Tamers on Kul Tiras or Zandalar with teams of all one pet type (dragonkin, flying, beast, critter, etc) New paladin spell visuals for Flash of Light and Beacon of Light New information on Faction Incursions Will only be for characters 110 or above (Ren: boo) Completing 4 incursions will result in a random 370 weapon or Azerite Armor for quests. These items are from the same item pool from Warfronts (7th Legion/Honorbound items) Will work a lot like Legion Invasions: after completing 4 incursion quests, you have to complete a short scenario to take down an airship Doubleagent the Neutral Panda is now level 117

The Summerset event to unlock a pet, mount, and house has ended. AIE did it's part to get the achievement completed.

STO 33% of Lifetime sub sale going on now until 10/1 10 am PT (yes tomorrow) 20% off services sale going on now until also 10/1 10 am PT It is also Bonus XP weekend. Great time to level mains or alts. Phoenix Prize pack also going on right now, but this goes until 10/5 10am PT. Get a free phoenix prize pack at Drozana Station each day. And you can buy more from the dilithium store. A great way to stock up on gear upgrade tokens that cost no dilithium on use. And technically the cost of the boxes from the dilithium store for the boxes converted over to these upgrade tokens ends up saving you dilithium compared to regular upgrade tokens that use dilithium in the upgrade process. (Yes, Grebog put it into a spreadsheet to check.) The fleet can always use more personnel and resources for the fleet holdings. We are still making decent progress on the variou...

I plan on finishing the other zones over the next few days. Need more followers Dills This Week in WoW Trial of Style started - free transmogs! Darkmoon Faire starts Sunday News BfA sold 3.4 million copies on its first day - franchise record Does this only count new purchases on opening day, or does it count prepurchases? Notable hotfixes for the week Auction House changes - will be discussed separately Classes Demon hunters no longer falling to their deaths gliding away from Dazar’alor. Feral druids continuing to receive upgrades to their AOE abilities Creatures and NPCs Treasure hunters around the Deadwash will no longer inadvertantly flag Horde players PvP Dungeons Freehold now has an NPC at the end that will port characters to the beginning Kings’ Rest: enemy casters now have mana bars Items Azerite armor now tradeable Faction items can now be traded back to their Quartermaster for a full refund for 2 hours Professions Inscription - Contract duration is now 7 days Cooking - Foods now provide significantly more health and mana World Quests Profession WQs will now not show up for characters who don’t have that profession Being hit by Frightened Stomps of Frightened Brutosaur during “Underfoot” will no longer flag players World Several missing Zandalar mailboxes have been returned Auction house hotfixes, plus premium 20% extra deposit for tradeskill items. But are the actual numbers going to dissuade sellers? Wide variety of deposit prices for stacks of 1 vs larger stacks Remember: only pay the deposit if the item doesn’t sell Sample items from BfA: Monelite ore, Gloom Dust, Great Sea Catfish - Deposit inflation between 1 stack of 200 and 200 stacks of 1: Great Sea Catfish - 7.5g to 47.5g - or 633% US median 24g - lose 47.5g out of 4800, 1% loss Gloom Dust - 8g to 200g - or 2500% US median 27g, so 200g out of 5400, or 3.7% loss Monelite Ore - 1s 30c to 40g - or 307,000 % US median 48g, so 9600/40, or 0.42 loss HandyNotes has new modules for BfA treasures and achievement points in zones WQ exploit - how it worked, how it has ended Warning: getting whispers from accounts that make you think it’s Blizzard saying you have to go to a website to plead your case because you’re about to be banned - recognize official Blizz communications Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder, Part One - start working on it now for increased mount speed Battle for Azeroth Explorer Explore all 6 zones on both continents Wide World of Quests Complete 100 world quests Azerothian Diplomat Earn Revered with the following factions, Champions of Azeroth and Tortollan Seekers, and the following for each side: Alliance - Proudmoore Admiralty, Storm’s Wake Order of Embers, 7th Legion Horde: Zandalari Empire, Voldunai, Talanji’s Expedition, The Honorbound Either Kul Tourist or Zandalar Forever - complete all main story lines of your side’s three zones Ready for War (faction) - complete your side’s War Campaign - starts with establishing footholds necessary to open world quests. The rest requires becoming Friendly with your side’s war rep (Honorbound or 7th Legion) No dungeon or raid requirements (yet) Mod of the Cast: The alpha release of WORLD QUEST TRACKER.

Nick and Katie are back to talk about the Horde introduction to Zandalar!

Discord: http://discord.worldofwarcast.com Twitch: http://twitch.tv/starmiketv Mount Up Add-on: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/mount-up Ren Have 1 level 117 prot paladin and 1 level 114 subtlety rogue Disappointed by pickpocketing Noticed small amount of voice recycling - some of the voices/sayings of the Vulpera are identical to those of pandaren children Navigating the ziggurat: 8 level changes and 327 stairs between the main level and the profession trainers Fossilized Raptor mount now has apparent hip problems Technical issue: keep having problem where my xp bars aren’t showing xp -- just showing rep and artifact power %. Temporary fix: open Rep pane, toggle one of the reps “show as experience bar” on/off. Problem seems unrelated to mods, as it does it even when all mods are off Mike Burning the horde in the Clearcut was fun :D Dinged 120 on Sunday - it was faster than expected. Marie Davenport is the best grandma in WoW WITCHES! Drustvar is amazing Trying to get geared up for heroics - currently 301 Have not finished all zones. Still four whole zones to complete New trick - group members kicking themselves to beat the timer. Got into a dungeon where three people left, no tank Next dungeon got me three pieces. Tailoring has slowed. Still have to deal with enchanting. Haven’t taken a good look at it. WQs open after two Zandalar zones are quick-finished, then one solo island expedition, THEN the third, THEN friendly rep. This Week in WoW PvP Brawl: Gravity Lapse event Seemingly not going for weekly stuff for another few weeks into the expansion at least News and BfA Do the city quests first - leads to other benefits Example: Pests in northern area of Horde city called the Zocalo - be sure to pick up “Pests” - gives you access to Jani, the Loa of Scavengers. As you’re out and about, you will sometimes get a whisper from her that you’ve found a “shiny trinket” - find her trash pile to get a treasure chest Horde - starts in the Zocalo, the northern part of the city, so do this right away. Alliance: starts in Shatterstone Harbor in Vol’dun, so you don’t get this one til later Changing and advancing professions in BfA Advantage to changing: you can start along with everyone else When you change the profession, you have to click TWICE - once to get the initial Vanilla levels, and then a second time to learn the Zandalari profession Check to make sure you pick up all your level 1 abilities and recipes - you get them automatically sometimes (cooking) and not other times (gathering professions) Worth getting your other profession alts at least started in the city - early level stuff can be useful, such as the level 1 Rubellite recipe in JC (Insightful Rubellite - +5% xp) and the Zandalari tradeskill glove enchants. Rubelite currently selling for around 70g on Whisperwind AH; Zandalari tradeskill enchants are pretty cheap also if you don’t want to DIY Developer Q&A with Ian Hazzikostas: some highlights Feral druid AOE tuning has been improved but isn’t finished yet. 120 power setback is noticeable - looking in future expansions to smooth it out so you don’t feel like hitting max level is a huge backward jump Autoaccept removed from groups: development believed autoaccept for groups and using addons for searching for groups created an imbalance between those who used addons and those who didn’t. (Ren does not approve) AH is showing its age, particularly on high pop servers. Search options too limited May introduce deposits that would reward people with bulk pricing -- higher deposits for people who post a single stack of a stackable trade good (what could go wrong?) Community moderation coming in the next patch Azerite armor will be tradeable starting after next week’s patch (“they don’t want players to abuse the system to look for the best possible class/trait combination to loot a certain piece of azerite armor”) AP needed to advance your Heart of Azeroth will be reduced New models incoming for goblins and worgen (please fix hats!) Is this expansion “alt friendly”? Takes me about 20 minutes to get from beginning of entry quests to in the first inn, bound, and basic professions upgraded. Multiply that by 13 level 110s and that’s over 4 hours just to get everyone in the game. Not even counting the 1 Horde and 1 Alliance character I needed to take through the whole thing. Are side quests a problem?

Medros, Phandeth, and Toasty return to discuss the launch of Battle for Azeroth, Zappi Boi, Chris Metzen interview on The Instance, and more

All content previous to Warlords will SCALE TO LEVEL - within ranges Classic starting zones: 1-10 All old world vanilla zones: 10-60 Burning Crusade and Wrath zones: 60-80 Cataclysm and Pandaria zones: 80-90 What this means: You can actually complete zones without leveling out of them and feeling forced to move on and you can choose where you level up Dungeons will also scale accordingly - so will loot drops (yes, run Wailing Caverns at 60 and you’ll get level 60 mobs and level 60 gear) Incoming also - no release date Accounts with an authenticator attached will get a “small increase” to the size of their standard 16 slot backpack - may be connected to WoW’s upcoming 13th anniversary event (Nov 16-30) Expansion: Battle for Azeroth (not Tides of Vengeance) - also no release date Basics: Level to 120 (one instant boost to 110) Return to faction based play areas Bye-bye Teldrassil and Undercity (but not Silvermoon and Exodar) -- hello each faction controlling their own continent Does the zone control mean no leveling zones for the opposite faction? New island zones Zandalar and Kul Tiras with three areas for each Horde: Zandalar - obviously troll focused Alliance: Kul Tiras - naval power (which we’ve never seen because apparently they’re so good they can hide the most powerful navy in the world from everyone until now) New subraces: the four we mentioned on the last show plus two more (Horde: Highland Tauren, Nightborne and Zandalari Troll. Alliance: Void Elf, Lightforged Draenei and Dark Iron Dwarves). Will get 6 new character slots on each server You have to open these subraces via quests -- once opened it’s accountwide Subraces start at level 20. You can race-switch into them using Blizzard game services, but if you run one from 20 to 120 you get an achievement plus special heritage armor transmog 3-person Island Cooperative challenge gameplay Changing mini scenarios on islands Would like to have seen this scalable to other size groups - 3 is awkward 20-person raids called Warfronts to claim strategic locations this is a PvE system, not PvP, “inspired by classic Warcraft RTS battles” (Ren: Damn good thing or the Horde on Whisperwind is screwed) Artifact amulet (Heart of Azeroth) instead of an artifact weapon - a system with a sort of mini-talent tree used to select and empower abilities - replacements for the Artifact, Artifact Power and Netherlight Crucible systems from Legion Powered by Azerite, will automatically absorb Azerite when it’s nearby Helm, chest, and shoulders will be empowered through Heart of Azeroth Probably will need an entire episode just on this - but practical upshot is the artifact weapons are going away and this is the replacement PVP/PVE server distinction is going away - now it will be selectable Internal sharding allows PVP-flagged players to see/group with only one another, and PVE-unflagged players to see/group only with one another All servers will run under same rules of engagement Only place you can flag PVP is in capital cities - can’t flag PVP on the fly No randomly flagged people running around PvP gives added bonuses in addition to added risk Item level decrease incoming Not exactly the warlords “stat squish” where numbers were reduced across the board Numbers from the Dungeon Journal in the demo at Blizzcon - 880 items were showing up as 215, 900 as 235, 1000 as 335 Basically trying to make numbers a bit more meaningful Presumably mobs and such will be scaled as well -- functionally should not change, just how it’s displayed New model changes incoming for several character races - Orcs and Trolls were demoed to choose between a hunched or upright character). Mostly focused on original races, plus blood elf and draenei. Goblins and Worgen will get makeovers later.
