    Episode 17 – The Real Anniversary Episode
    Dec 30 2024
    Episode 17 – The Real Anniversary Episode Show Notes Welcome to Episode 17! First year of Solo Queue in the books and stumbling into some creative WoW-adjacent media got me thinking about all the value added to WoW by content creators outside of Blizzard. Four Tanks and a Healer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A47d3fjDNSQ Stormwind University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sgpgEy-UW8 Karazhan Library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkDNwkGDS84 “What have you done lately?” – 16:52 Trivia is now 42 characters every day – the end is in sight, January 7For max leveling efficiency, that meant getting 5 characters to 80I made my 2 Earthen charactersMonthly inventory for first time in 3 monthsSporadically getting weekly meta quests done to keep gearing the 5 level 80s Addon Recommendation: Altoholic – 25:39 Tracks gold, levels, achievements, time played, and many more bits of individual character info account-wide, server by server, faction by faction. …and Siren Isle – 27:03 Yes, it feels a lot like 10.0.7, but it is kind of differentGameplay is…fine; better than the alternative of nothing until 11.1Story is hard to take in, maybe just for me? News – 46:34 Still 2 story questlines to come in 11.0.7, Dalaran epilogue and Lingering ShadowsTurbulent Timeways coming January 7 – 5 weeks of timewalkingNew game modes coming to the Character select screen? Might it be…Plunderstorm returns January 14 with less demanding reward system, new rewards, same battlefieldAnd two holidays are wrapping up next week, Anniversary event January 7 and Winter Veil January 5! Winter Veil in your Garrison! – 56:36 The second-best place to celebrate Winter Veil is in your WoD Garrison, which naturally gets decorations and there are WV dailies to add more decorations. If you haven’t done it, why not now? I did, during the recording. And, I’ve been thinking about WoD lately, which had its 10th anniversary in November. 2025 is my 10th anniversary in WoW. Throughout the coming year, I am going to go through some of the highlights of this much-maligned expansion to show what is still enjoyable, including featuring the 3 WoD raids in Raid of the Month throughout the year. Raid of the Month: Antorus (Legion) – 1:12:02 Speaking of RotM, we visit the final raid of Legion, Antorus, the Burning Throne and see where that giant sword came from. Is it worth it? Lots of running around, Eonar a slow encounter, but if you want the 2 mounts and various transmog, then yes, get in there, at least a few times. Did I get any mounts? Listen to find out – no spoilers! Also a plug for the website simplearmory.com – check it out to see all of your collectable items, along with a planner to go hunt them all down! Drink of the Month – 1:30:20 All that raiding has me thirsty for Dwarven Mead and Greatfather’s Winter Ale at the Stonefire Tavern in Ironforge, in sight of Greatfather Winter himself! Main Topic: Yep, more Winter Veil, including *SPOILERS* presents opened! – 1:31:50 We head across the molten channel in Ironforge to check out Winter Veil activities, including a ride out to kill the Greench, unwrapping the 2024 presents live, and sharing my Winter Veil wish list, now for 2025. Plans for 2025 and gratitude for the influences that led me to SQ – 1:41:18 SQ plans for the coming year, a Season 2, if you will. Biggest is the goal of two episodes each month, a traditional (and shorter) episode, and a second episode of various formats, including interviews, single topic deep dives, or overflow topics for the month. I want to close this episode with gratitude for my sources of inspiration for Solo Queue including traditional radio, some Blizzard podcasts no longer with us, and many that are. Thank you, fellow podcasters! Honored to be among your ranks. Solo Queue Mailbox – 2:04:16 The second and third reviews on Apple Podcasts from Mr Rascolwitz and Cyn (psmst1). #grateful Truly, thanks for a great first year of Solo Queue! I hope you keep listening and sharing it with friends. Outro – 2:08:47 Thanks to Blizzard and OGRE for audio, my lovely wife, and you for listening.Support the show at Patreon.com/SoloQueueWoWThank you to patrons, Andrew, Righteous Bandy, ThatSkyGuy, and welcome Cyn!

    Nov 22 2024
    Episode 16 – How Do You Solo? Interview with Josh Allen Show Notes Welcome to Episode 16! Not a lot in the way of show notes for this episode. There is an intro with me trying to dream up the perfect person to talk about the past, present, and future of the Warcraft universe in the wake of Warcraft Direct. Then… Interview with Josh Allen, aka Lore, aka devolore – 3:13 An awesome, informative, insightful, and wide-ranging interview with Josh getting to know him as a content creator and his experiences work at Blizzard as a Community Manager, a look into the creation process of WoW, his experience and perspective on the employment harassment and discrimination problems that were exposed beginning in 2021, and a look into the future of WoW, Classic, Remixes, player housing and much more. Buckle up and listen! Interview with Josh Allen, aka Lore, aka devolore – 1:13:35 Perhaps the slowest moving Lightning Round, with blamed laid equally on both of us! Outro – 1:26:05 •A ton of thanks to Josh for coming on to share his knowledge and experiences! •Thanks to Blizzard and OGRE for audio, #dontplaymuted, my lovely wife, and you for listening. •If you want to support the show, SoloQueueWoW at Patreon.com •Thank you to current patrons, Andrew, Righteous Bandy, and ThatSkyGuy!

    Episode 15 – Princes and Paupers Show Notes Welcome to Episode 15!

Drink of the Month – 28:15 Mannoroth’s Blood Red Ale Mount Segment that doesn’t yet have a name – 29:16 My thoughts on store mounts (and pets) including •Reven the fundraiser for Cure Duchenne, the form of muscular dystrophy that eventually took the life of WoW player Ibelin, subject of a recent Netflix documentary. $20 – yes. •30th Anniversary Warcraft 3 faction mounts. $30 – yes. •Grizzley Hills Packmaster with vendors. $20 – yes. •Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur with vendors and the ensuing craziness. - $90 – no. •Store mounts and mogs help fund the game, just hope they steer clear of selling player power.

My gameplay this month with commentary – 58:00 •Hallow's End trick-or-treating took a level 70 to 76! •Anniversary and using trivia to level 20+ characters with Hallow’s End, Darkmoon Faire, and Anniversary buffs all while collecting Rested XP and until January 5! •Forgetting which inn your hearthstone is set to •Titan disc system – great story delivery system •Review of Story mode – unimpressed and still awaiting #followerraids, c’mon! Main Topic: Princes and Paupers – 1:38:50 A discussion of those who have plenty of time to play and how they differ from those of us who have limited time in game, how players can approach this, and possible help Blizzard could provide. #clippy (re)Raid of the Month: Crucible of Storms (BfA) – 2:06:02 I found the pre-raid questline that actually gives the Xal’atath story that I sought last month; still not a good raid to farm. Addon Recommendation: Saved Instances – 2:14:00 A great addon to track quests, dungeons, raids, currencies, and much more across many characters.
