Praises or critics can be send here! Also if there's anything you wish to hear about please send your requests here!Ever wondered why some World of Warcraft players swear by Classic while others are die-hard Retail fans? This episode promises to enlighten you as we untangle the web of preferences and peculiarities that set these two versions apart. We also kick things off with an update on some recent technical hiccups that will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to our shiny new PC setup. Dive into the latest Blizzard announcements, including the War Within pre-patch and the thrilling addition of Cataclysm: Rise of the Zandalari.Our forum deep dive takes a quirky turn as we dissect some of the most outlandish reasons why players abandon Classic WoW, like rage-quitting over a single character death. Misconceptions about game mechanics and achievements come under our scrutiny, highlighting the necessity of well-founded arguments in online gaming discourse. We even take a moment to appreciate the nuanced challenges of PvP in both Classic and Retail, shedding light on the skill and strategy required to excel in these environments.Lastly, we explore the contrasting landscapes of Classic TBC and Retail WoW, particularly in terms of PvP and leveling. From the frustratingly long crowd control in Classic to the rushed, less social atmosphere in Retail, we cover all the bases. Yet, it's not all doom and gloom—there are well-crafted quests and engaging stories that make the journey worthwhile in Retail. Hope you all enjoy and hope you relate to any of these stories. And I will speak to you all in the next episode!Support the show here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1196870/supportpatreon.com/Pigandwhistlehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/PigandWhistleSocials :Twitch : https://www.twitch.tv/pigandwhistletalesYoutube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAOi6rHO3x90lOmmb82Jv1wWebsite : https://www.pigandwhistletales.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pigandwhistletales/Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/PigAndWhistleTalesTry out Buzzsprout yourself! https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1154066Listen to the podcast on other platforms:https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/pig-whistle-tales-from-azeroth-gabriel-nsa902LrQVw/https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/pig-whistle-tales-from-azeroth-1315927https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZTkLtQvRSm4PStUfZquWkhttps://podcastaddict.com/podcast/3032607The Music at the start is from Tony Catch they do many amazing cover songs for games you can find the link here: The Gaming BlenderCould you design a video game?Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.Support the show here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1196870/support patreon.com/Pigandwhistle https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PigandWhistle

Discord: http://discord.worldofwarcast.com Twitch: http://twitch.tv/starmiketv Mount Up Add-on: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/mount-up Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/starmike Ren Rewrote guides for Classic AV and WSG Running KRs with WNNs - shoutouts to Cryler, Zignea, Webbley, Drexl, Hidebound, Loosechanj, Zeryl, and our visitor JP Have leveled up 5 more toons to 120 - Alliance warrior and mage; Horde mage, priest, and demon hunter. Horde nightborne monk is now 103; starting work on Zandalari shaman. Started a lightforged Draenei priest - level 26. Yes, Alliance. In war mode. Guested on PEOPLE OF AZEROTH Considering buying a new computer Mike Moved to Atiesh Pagle started falling apart Now in JunoEclipse’s guild That means I had to start my Lock and Priest all over again. Eh, that’s ok How to level up skinning and cooking so easily in Elwynn Why? Because when you get to Westfall you get level 80 recipes Playing a rogue is SO SLOW Exalted with Wavecrest Now I have to work on the turtles This Week in WoW Ongoing: WoW Anniversary Event, Feast of Winter Veil Winter Veil sleigh rides Globe yeti spawn rates significantly increased (1 minute instead of 30 minutes) Greatfather Pepe costume is a no-show Tuesday: World Quest Bonus Event News Classic Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley went live Paid character transfers Classic Winter Veil Retail Korrak’s Revenge - going until 7 January Learned about Korrak’s Revenge, and how Christy got us hooked Favorite stories from KRs - Christmas sweaters, Ren’s language issues, taking Zig through her first BG and then her owning them, Webbley’s laugh, the collective obsession with Stormpike Bowmen, Drexl’s bumming rides, and how Cryler single-handedly sabotaged an entire BG Why you never click anything in tunnels - or, how much fun is it to kick naughty mages XP and Korrak’s Revenge Can go in as low as level 10 when the Group Finder becomes available; have seen a level 12 in there Amount of XP you get increases as you go up in levels. Levels in some ways are depending on activities, but this is what I got for typical runs. In some ways, it depends on your effectiveness. At level 25, I got about 28% of a level for a win (1.07 % for a win) Level 40: 50% of a level for a win (1.2% per level) Level 50: 95% of a level for a win (1.9%) Level 62: 125% of a level for a win (2%) Level 103: nearly 2 levels for a win (2%) Lesson: doesn’t really make sense to go in until at least level 50. No epic speed land mount until 40; can’t get quests til level 60 Korrak: DO NOT KILL HIM THERE. Go to Zul’drak. 8.3 launch date announced: January 14

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 1 - Captives and Caravans begins in the marshes of Nazmir, where a guerrilla war is being fought by Zandalari and Horde forces against the savage blood trolls... The wonderful Meisio supplied the background audio, which is a mix of original music from World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Nazmir and accompanied by night & day / rain ambience sound.

Discord: http://discord.worldofwarcast.com Twitch: http://twitch.tv/starmiketv Mount Up Add-on: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/mount-up Ren: First BFA reps maxxed: Exalted with Honorbound and Zandalari (we need paragon rep!) Finished 5 island campaigns on main - questioning whether will do it on other characters Attempted 2 man of Atal’Dazar - almost but not quite there. High 340s not quite enough. Mag’har racial opening quest is the WORST -- and a new justification/motivation for leveling another toon Mag’har hunter: running zones using All The Things to identify areas where I haven’t gotten mail transmogs from questing there Bonus: got the Hyacinth Macaw as a random drop The Great UI Experiment - initial impressions and why I’m not going to go through with it after all Random question of the week: who’s taking care of the poor carnies? Mike: Rep. That’s it. This Week in WoW: Hallows’ End starts today - goes through Thursday, November 1 Headless Horseman: levels 23-120 Things to buy with Tricky Treats: pets, costumes, masks, wands, Magic Broom New toy: Headless Horseman’s Hearthstone for 150 Tricky Treats “Return home in the spookiest way” -- creates a circle of flames around you and puts a Hallowed Helm on your head, and your character laughs when the cast completes Pandaria Timewalking News: Naked & Afraid 2: Revenge of the Races is coming Thursday, October 25th! Needed motivation for running up Allied race to 120 for achievement Run an allied race or a non-allied race - no gold, no gear, no heirlooms. Pick a race, class, and spec, and stick with it until 120 (one spec change allowed). Judged on /played time to 120. We encourage running a class or spec you haven’t run before but it isn’t required Nonallied races will have time from 1-20 deducted from total, since allied races start at level 20 Two divisions: Regular and Warmode New this time around: Guilds US-Alliance Silvermoon: Naked & Afraid (could start the same guild Hordeside on Mok’Nathal, the connected server, forr those who want to start Horde races) EU-Alliance Vek’nilash: Naked & Afraid All members will have the power to invite to the guild, at least for a little while. Be careful only to invite people who are familiar with the Naked and Afraid challenge. Perhaps ask them to name the two hosts of the show as a challenge question. @thecowking has made an EU Warcast Community and has posted a link to it on our #worldofwarcast channel on Discord Full rules posted on the #naked-and-afraid-2 Discord channel Wowhead is making a Classic WoW site - classic.wowhead.com, with all the databases, guides, etc. Decided to use modern back-end elements but are using old-school styling such as logos and menus to reflect the retro style Blizzard announced multiple Diablo projects are expected over the coming months Diablo III coming to Nintendo Switch already announced for November 2 There will be a Diablo What’s Next panel shortly after the opening ceremony Patch 8.1 - Notable changes on the PTR and from Ian Hazzikostas QA from the 11th Lots and lots of discussion about azerite armor changes New warfronts will run in a parallel cycle to the current one - you could be contributing to one warfront while attacking in another No plans to make Death Knight class available for new Allied Races anytime soon Several new battle pets associated with the new Darkshore warfront, such as the Darkshore Sentinel (Owl), Void Jelly, Everburning Treant, Detective Ray, Gust of Cyclarus Also new mounts: a bear, nightsabers, chimera, and a kodo. Reins of the Onyx War Hyena will be a new rated PvP mount, and there are a couple frog mounts that have not yet been assigned New pet model for baby raptors Darkmoon Faire Favors achievement has been reduced from six to five profession based quests completed New cooking recipe: Seasoned Steak and Potatoes (maybe something to do with those Thick Paleo Steaks other than the banquets?) Reputation gains from Legion World Quests will be doubled Looking at flight paths - possibly a book to buy at max level that unlocks all the flight paths on alts War Campaign chapters not alt friendly - give almost no reputation when you complete them. They will be adding a “large amount of reputation” to these chapters

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?

Manny and Joce are back covering all the news from PAX East this week, along with some Alpha news, the remote auction house closing, Mionelol soloing a M15+ dungeon, as well as dates, dates, dates! Continuing on from Vol'jin last week, they cover the lore of the Zandalari before moving into this week's Community Resource, Trade Skill Master. Spoiler alert, this resource is not for the faint of heart. Finally, they take a listener question about the best resources to use as a transmog collector.

What is up with that Zandalari moonkin form?? Seething Shore is seething with battleground goodness. Duncan Jones had trouble with Warcraft. A look around blizzard and more!

For the first episode recorded in 2018, I had Deceiverr (with two Rs and an underscore) and Lisia! We discussed LFR Wing 3, talked some more about 7.3.5 on PTR, talked about how Deceiverr wants Zandalari trolls, discussed Pinky & The Brain & more. Before we ended the episode, Ouro (aka Popecrunch) came on the show and obliterated Deceiverr with an epic rap! Come sit at the table with us!

Episode #7 : Vol’jin Shadows of the Horde, the newest Warcraft novel by Michael A. Stackpole, is the thoughtful telling of the Shadow Hunter’s story of growth. Set against the backdrop of the Thunder King’s awakening and the Zandalari troll invasion of Pandaria, the novel brings the powerful troll leader, Vol’jin, front and center. Published in July 2013, this novel is Stackpole’s first narrative of the World of Warcraft universe. Readers gain an insightful look into the balanced Pandarian culture, the danger lurking from the Zandalari trolls on the Isle of Thunder, and experience the transformation of Vol’jin from a broken “skull-crab” – into a forward-thinking leader. In this episode’s Warcraft book club roundtable, podcast hosts Apsana, Skolnick, Kevin, Joshua and Sayomara gather together to discuss Vol’Jin: Shadows of the Horde.
