This is in fact a World of Warcraft related podcast. I know, you only came for the beer and the rambling, but we feel it necessary to declare our intentions up front. Yeah, we’re kidding. Grab a beer, protect your bathing suit area, and jump in for another mildly explicit WoW (ahem) related show.

REVIEWS

iTunes – “By All Means!” by jmbees (5 stars)

If you’re interested in an inappropriate, booze-infused, four-letter-word-laden podcast, Raid Warning is a lot of fun. Sometimes they even talk about Warcraft.

iTunes – “Drinking is Funny- To a point” by Astringent (2 stars)

He doesn’t like drinking buddies.

iTunes – “Finally” by Sfrog (5 stars)

Grabbed a bunch of WoW podcasts and we’re the only one he kept.

“Well worth the time spent giggling to myself in an airplane seat and all the dirty looks.”


iTunes UK – “Amazing” by ComeOnCletus (5 stars)

Funniest podcast out there full stop, doesnt take itself too seriously, and Seven, what’s up with the voice.

Email by Razorstorm of thewowstorm.wordpress.com

You have a nice balance of quality content discussion, and shameless dicking around.


Email by Daniel who plays a holy priest on Draenor EU

Bubble Trouble – The Holy Paladin Round Table Event

This weekend the Raid Warning boys were joined by some of the biggest names in the Paladin community to discuss the class that loves to heal in a dress! From class mechanics, ICC tips and tricks, Flash of Light vs Holy Light, to the future of the Cataclysm Paladin, we did our best to cover every aspect of the holy spec.

A special thanks to the brave souls appearing on this edition of Bubble Trouble:

Chase Christian of  WoW.com
Lulia of Tank Spot
Ophelie of The Bossy Pally

This week, Seven, Brian, Thespius and Vader go on a journey. It’s an adventure filled with a sultry Sith and Cataclysm screenshot goodness. Oh, sorry. Scratch that. (this section of Raid Warning has been removed due to NDA restrictions). Oh the stories you tell when you’ve had too many beers.

Is there really such a thing as lightsaber porn?

Mandatory Glyphs/Talents

http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/24630812933/shield-wall-amp-last-stand-frustrations/

We’re stuck in this trap sometimes where players want glyphs and talents to be meaningful but optional. That’s a pretty narrow design space.

Population Balancing with Tol Barad
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/24630543156/tol-barad-wintergrasp/
new system will look for more of a 1:1 ratio, will likely have caps
“Right now the issue with Wintergrasp is it actually encourages the behavior of selecting a realm where your faction dominates. If the reverse becomes true for Tol Barad”

Arena Tournament Names and Zero Tolerance
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/24401858154/inappropriate-character-and-team-names/
Believe it or not, the team and character names have to be appropriate or you face deletion!

Two Tiers of Cataclysm PVP Gear
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/24401796793/cataclysm-badge-and-pvp-point-changes/

  1. The lower tier weapons will correspond in quality to items found in the latest raid tier on normal difficulty and cost only Conquest Points.
  2. The higher tier weapons will correspond in quality to items found in the latest raid tier on Heroic difficulty and will have a minimum personal rating requirement in addition to costing Conquest Points

Buff homogenization and the Blues dont like you.
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/24401906297/shared-raid-lockouts-more-homogenized-buffs/
Raid buffs and debuffs exist for two main reasons:

1) They encourage you to bring a diversity of classes and specs rather than stacking whatever is highest dps at the moment.
2) They make you feel more powerful in a group than when you’re solo. For an MMO, WoW is pretty soloable, so we like for it to feel really awesome when you’re in a group.

Whenever we read “Without my buff, there is no reason for a group to take me,” our typical response is: awesome. You’ll have to figure out another reason why they should take you.
