Dragonflight prepatch phase 2 brings Dracthyr, invasions, and catch up equipment

This week, we discuss Overwatch 2 reviving a retired reward currency as a new way for players to acquire Legendary skins, WoW’s new reward currency for the Trading Post feature, and the new talent tree system coming in Diablo 3’s Season 28 where, to the surprise of no one, the currency to unlock it is sacrifice.

This week, we discuss how many of Blizzard’s games are no longer available in China, the introduction of the Revival Catalyst in Dragonflight with patch 10.0.5 to upgrade gear, and which healing specs is the best (and worst) in today’s game.

In this month’s episode, we dive into the details of Wizard of the Coast’s controversial proposed update to its Open Gaming License that would allow it to control, prohibit, and seize the rights to third-party published content compatible with Dungeons & Dragons. Yep, the same content that has been fueling the game’s popularity over the last decade.

This week, we discuss if the speed of leveling in Dragonflight discourages exploration, the best addons for healers, and what we are looking forward to with next week’s 10.0.5 patch.

As we enter into the home stretch of our homebrew D&D campaign, Into The Weirs, the party sets off for an ancient citadel, but along the way meet a childlike dragon that may or may not be responsible for massive carnage. Now they must decide whether they are going to love it or leave it. Also, Creo gets a pegasus. Miss our earlier podcast kicking off the campaign or want a refresher of what has gone on before?

This week, we discuss our thoughts on the renown system in Dragonflight, our feelings on the new content coming for Wrath Classic, and our prayers for those playing Diablo 1 in Diablo 3’s annual Darkening of Tristram event.

This week, we discuss the pros and cons of the Diablo Immortal, Overwatch 2, and Hearthstone battle passes, the shift to “some changes” with the launch of Wrath Classic, and the World of Warcraft 2023 Dragonflight road map of more frequent content updates to the game.

This week, we discuss the ramped up content roll out for WoW promised by Blizzard for 2023, why we are enjoying Dragonflight so much, and, most importantly, the discovery of the otter mount earned through fishing that wears sunglasses.

This week, we discuss the 10.0.5 patch on the WoW PTR that includes the new Trading Post as an alternate way of earning cosmetics (and more!), our take on how the new crafting system is playing out since launch, and a deep dive into the highlights and challenges of the still in-progress Race to World First.

This week, we discuss the sheer amount of content that has arrived in Dragonflight with the start of Season 1. From the new Vault of the Incarnates raid to Primal Storms and their rewards to new World Bosses to a new dungeon rotation to new seasonal affix to a new PvP season. Oh yeah, did we mention the Race to World First?
