Show Notes Welcome to Episode 36! – 2:49 Who knew it was so hard to get four player signatures to start a guild? A sign from the universe, perhaps? Too late, we started a guild!
News – 13:05

But, RANT #1 INCOMING – the long road to 4 signatures Loner’s Run, the ST Guild neighborhood open Solo Together Community up and running Community neighborhood for Horde side houses?

“What Have You Done Lately?” – 32:51
RANT #2 INCOMING. Short version is yes, I lost all 800,000+ bronze that I collected when Blizz shut down the Remix event earlier than two of the three times is announced. Me not happy, for sure. Pre-patch event nearly done and maybe not the best of these events Void Elf DH unlock relatively brief; Devourer DH seems cool, but only doing 1-button rotation Catchup experience not useful after a level 70 boost
Main Topic: Grand Tour Actually Announced – 1:05:19 This will be a recurring segment exploring the dungeons and raids of each expansion
Grand Tour: Classic Kalimdor – 1:16:14 The ten dungeons and two raids of Classic on Kalimdor discussed in an overview
Raid(s) of the Month – 1:33:33 The Temple and Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj are the two raids in Classic Kalimdor. Are they worth farming?
SQ Book Club warm-up: The Void Between – 1:39:13 The recently published short story written by Alex Acks is a great little story before Midnight arrives
SQ Book Club: Blood Ties – 1:47:24 The latest novel by Christie Golden is a great read, but one you do not have to finish before the launch of Midnight. Read it now or read it later, but read it.
Outro – 2:37:10

I Didn’t Know I Needed Blizzcon - Ep 45 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD available at: https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes Welcome to Episode 45! – 2:03 Let’s just get to Blizzcon stuff. News – 8:03Blizzard news is dominated by Blizzcon announcements and the follow-up announcements. Here are the non-Warcraft announcements in order of how they affect me multiplied by their hype factor. Then we get into the good stuff. Overwatch Reveal – 16:54I am not an Overwatch person. They announced a new somebody after a cool cinematic. Don’t ask me the name of the hero. Heroes of the Storm Reveal – 18:22You can ask me the name of the new hero in HotS, it’s Xal’atath! With another on the horizon, HotS is back! Hearthstone Reveal – 23:30Hearthstone was my entry to Blizzard games. There is a new expansion coming soon diving back into the Black Empire. Also, I invent my second Blizzard game in back-to-back episodes—Hearthstone Classic! Who’s with me?! Diablo Reveals – 29:10Never really played Diablo, but with a Netflix show and an intriguing announcement of Diablo V, I’m open, or will be in 2029 when it arrives. Starcraft Reveal – 35:27Also not a Starcraft player, but dude…did you see that cinematic?! An open-world, story-driven shooter game just might pull me into the SC universe. Retail WoW Reveals – 49:12All of the news related to the five remaining patches coming in Midnight. 12.2 news – 49:44 12.2.5 news – 1:02:53 12.2.7 news – 1:04:57 12.1.5 news – 1:06:04 12.1.7 news – 1:06:58 Talebound Game Mode – 1:07:12New standalone game mode that is definitely not Plunderstorm. Looking forward to this as a solo player! Next Remix is…Wrath! – 1:13:33Not Shadowlands, we are heading back to Northrend to speedrun it all before the story returns to Northrend for The Last Titan. The Last Titan Teaser – 1:14:56Slightly unexpected and thin on any details, this brief cinematic definitely teases what’s on the horizon. Giant titan robots. Warcraft III…What? – 1:22:22An expansion for what now? The new campaigns added to Warcraft III give us insight into the fall of Lorderon and set up the story at the opening of the next new way to play World of Warcraft… WoW Forever! – 1:28:43Finally, we put the moniker “Classic+” to bed once and for all. WoW Forever has enchanted a large portion of the WoW player base and this is only beta. Launch is November 4. So excited for this sweet spot combination of Classic and Retail, possibly greater than the sum of its parts. So, What is the Character Limit in WoW Forever? – 1:58:40There are 52 possible combinations of race and class in WoW Forever as of the beta. Does the character limit allow you to try them all? At this moment, yes! Seems the cap is 70, just like Retail. “What have you done lately?” – 2:05:18 A little bit of my bumping around in retail and switching the main back to feral druid for the rest of Midnight and beyond. Main Topic – Highlights of My Blizzcon! – 2:13:26 Talking through my own experiences with the people I met at Blizzcon! Closing Thoughts – 2:39:21What Blizzcon meant to me. Go figure, set the announcements and the decorations and the hype aside. Blizzcon is about the community and the people you know or are about to know. I fully intend to return. And if you need to know someone at Blizzcon before you commit to going, I will be that person. And, a couple of changes coming to the show, the kind that might make it more interesting to watch on YouTube. Stay tuned.
