Intro

Welcome to Bind on Equip Wow podcast episode

I’m Wembli,

I’m The Wych,

and I’m Tempeste.

This episode is brought to you in part due to the kind sponsorship of Tranith

It’s my last day of holidays today and I have had NO time to play I have spent $1500 on getting 2 kids ready to go back to school and have $400 still to pay!

Wemb

Ingame 

Kealar asked for one of his alts to be reguilded, I said yes, Zooe said no, so when I invited him, before I finished the notes, Zooe had kicked him! It was very funny. You will all be relieved to know that kealar’s alt is now safely in the guild.

Douche of the week: Hruken a Tauren on the Jub Jub server who thought it was the best fun ever to harrass me while I was fishing highland guppies by sitting on top of the bobbing lure, so when it popped I could not target it. If that was not annoying enough he then mounted on his mammoth. I reported him and had a fantastic GM with a great sense of humour respond. I also spoke to an officer in his guild, I would want to know if someone from PoH was interfering with someone else’s game time. He was removed from the guild. So thanks to Reallest from Death’s Legion for thinking that your guild reputation was important and for dealing with a douche.

Highlights for the week

Wemb-

SUNDAY I was playing on my shadow priest, might remember as healer from first rox the horde.
- level 82 questing in hyjal in one of those zone-in caverns with handful of quests inside
- had to go afk to do something, returned to find I had died. Checked combat log, ganked by 83 shadow priest.
- came back and when I ressed he saw me and ran over to attack and got me again, then again when I came back a third time.
- I put the call out in guild chat and immediately had temp, man and blix eager to help me. All rogues.
Returned and ressed and hit “have group will travel” the instant all party summon our guild has.
- imagine his surprise when he saw me res and just as he started to run over three 85 rogues materialized by my side and slaughtered him!
So I declare have group will travel to be the best ganking revenge tool ever!

(Other Raids, Heroics, World Events, Gear, Alts, Professions, Achievements, Pvp etc…)

Temp: Zooe and I beat another healy team this week, this time it was a paly healer! WOOHOOO!

Wemb-

DECIDED to respec my warrior into fury dps to give it a try.
-She was only a few points off ilevel 372, the trigger point for LFR so I spent some points on a couple of pieces and crafted a couple to close that gap.
-Nearly all my gear is pvp 377 crafted which is the easiest way to get up to that level.
- down side is that it’s not fantastic for pve so I have to fly under the radar until a few pieces drop- I can only manage 7.5-8k with this gear.
-maybe I will try to lfr on my Mage sometime over the weekend and take my warrior when I have the numbers of the guild group on Sunday until I get better gear.

Crazy Train.

Crazy Train spent Thursday night getting my pieces for my staff. For those that have not done it, off four bosses, you need to collect 3 items that spawn at specific times, combine them, and then charge the item, by doing something specific with it. Lord Ryolith, find shards around the outside of the circle you fight him, combine them, and then place them under his foot just as he stomps, then loot the charged item. Each of the 4 bosses is different. Once that was achieved we could then wipe and move on to the next boss. This all went pretty quickly UNTIL we hit Alysrazor because we had not actually mastered this fight or the trash before hand – so we have had quite a bit of practice now!

Then last night, we took those 4 special components and opened the portal to the special boss and did that, before heading over to Dragon Soul and taking down 3 bosses. We had Wych tanking for half the night and then he brought his hunter over … I think he was sad when we de’d a paly piece, but quite pleased he had swapped when a beautiful crossbow dropped.

So the plan going forward is to spend 1 night in 4 in Firelands working on getting my 1000 next bits before my 250 other bits!! Still a way to go, but I am excited about it and I am very grateful to everyone in CT for being prepared to help me get it.

Congratulations to Paranoid who strolled back into Dragon Soul and managed to over take Ironman and Crazy Train by getting 6/8 before the nerf! Congratulations also to Ironman on taking down Ultraxion.

Congratulations to our new 85’s:

Kwazi (Tranith’s new paly tank)

Angili (Ashli)

Congratulations also go to Mattie who has agreed to step up and be an officer for Pants on Head. Thanks Mattie.

Rox the horde.

No BlizzCon in 2012 – Battle.net World Championship

http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/blog/4338369/2012_Battlenet_World_Championship_Event-1_25_2012

Blizzard Entertainment is proud to announce the 2012 Battle.net World Championship, a major global eSports event featuring some of the best pro-gaming competition in the world. Slated to take place in Asia toward the end of 2012, the Battle.net World Championship will host this year’s StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Arena World Championship tournaments. Blizzard gamers and eSports fans from around the world will be invited to attend and witness some of the most skilled pro players on the planet battle it out for cash and glory.

We’re excited to be showcasing Blizzard eSports on a truly global stage this year. We’re also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players’ hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013.

More details about the 2012 Battle.net World Championship and BlizzCon 2013, including specific dates and locations, will be coming in the months ahead.

Yeah it’s a bit disappointing because we all really do enjoy being able to ‘open the doors’ so to speak. But, it is an enormous effort by all employees, including our game designers and artists, not to mention customer support and quality assurance, PR, our business departments, and *hot breath on fingernails & shirt rub* Community & eSports to make a BlizzCon happen. In a year when we’re working to release multiple titles (knock on wood) it makes sense to focus our efforts. Also with multiple game releases we just wonder if we’d be at a point with any of them where we’d have anything really big or new or cool to talk about.

We didn’t have a BlizzCon in 2006 either, and at that time we were really strong on the idea that BlizzCon isn’t really supposed to be and doesn’t have to be an annual event. Of course then we have it for five straight years in a row… which obviously built some expectation.

Personally I always enjoy seeing the excitement, the rushing crowds, hearing the clicking of mice on the demo stations, and waiting in agony as the seconds countdown to an announcement and then the waves of emotion from the crowd that follow it. But thinking about our year and what we’re trying to get done already without a BlizzCon, and having to think pretty hard about what we’d have to announce or demo, it just makes sense to me not to have one.

Here’s to the Battle.net World Championship, it’s going to be awesome, and to a bigger and better BlizzCon in 2013.

2012 Battle.net World Championship

Teamliquid has an interview about the Starcraft portion of the 2012 Battle.net World Championship. A few of the main points are summarized below, read the full interview for all the details.

• The prize pool will be comparable to the Battle.net continental invitationals in 2011.

• Qualifications will begin in Q2 this year.

• The entire 2012 season is going to be played with Wings of Liberty.

• There will be five regional championships, with the final being held in Asia.

• There will also be national championships before the regionals.

• Blizzard won’t be running all of the matches, instead they will be working with existing eSports organizations.

• There will be more matches and ways to see them than there were for Blizzcon 2011.

Patch 4.3.2 Going Live This Week

(this time for sure!)

This patch is bringing us Cross Realm raids for older content with RealID friends, a few item tweaks and new items, a few new achievements, and a reduced game client install size. It’s also bringing the 64 bit client to the game, even if it won’t be directly included in the game client it will be available as a separate download after the release of the patch.

The Bugger Man LIVES!
Yes, I’m still listening. Just checking in to say Wemb’s sound board,
Wych saying “whiny cock” and Tempe’s tits are perfection as always!
I know one or two of our PoH members are playing in a galaxy far, far
away and someday I’ll get there, but Middle Earth is more fun for now.
Take care!
Rick/Bugger
