With Gary prepping for E3, Mike B straps on the fabled V-neck of destiny and mans the reins. Along with him to tackle the latest Blizzard news is the incredibly talented and remarkably intelligent Chris Hanel from the Daily Blink.. and Lore.

    I hate vehicle bosses, but vehicle PvP is so much worse. I levelled to 80 (in Wrath, now 85) because I enjoy my class, not because I enjoy playing with a vehicle. I’m glad they wised up and realised people were sick of vehicle bosses.

    There’s also the fact that the vehicle bosses were all very unfun imo. Malygos was great for phases 1 and 2 and then went downhill as soon as you got on a mount — and not just because so many people had problems with “turn left, hit buttons”. Even when everyone did it perfectly it wasn’t fun to me.

    I agree with Chris on Grim Batol, however. That was a good way to handle vehicles.

    On bag space, the Witcher uses the same method many games do (like Oblivion), and they’re all based on D&D. In that game, your strength stat affects how much you can carry. The more you know!

    Two Words: LOOT SHIP

    Great fight.. fun.. breaks up the dps rotation.. These types of fights are neccessary and were lacking in the first tier of cata.

  • Raven

    kinda early this week, wuss up with that!!!

  • Tirad

    Thatssssssssss’ a very nice fan you have there Mike B … :D

  • Jon

    Kind of nice to have a show without Gerys annoying questions

  • boarderdog

    Ok, so not one person has commented on mike using his VCR for a Flat screen TV stand? Nice work, put that old thing to use!!

    Good job filling in Mike, very entertaining as always. Also chris is good, we need moar chris!

  • Macblasta

    Great episode, one of the best in my opinion. Chris should be a permanent member of the show, I enjoy his insight and witty jokes. Great job hosting Mike B!

    • ertonder

      Agreed, I thought Chris was great, probably my favourite episode yet, lol. It’s nothing to do with Gary not being there, just that Mike, Lore and Chris were better than usual this week.

  • Hector

    Pretty cool having Mike B as the main host.

  • lyck

    Cool to have Mike B as host give GB tv a bit more flex

  • Eyerai

    Nice Vest!!!!

  • Braskar

    Nice to have 3 people who play and like to WoW in a WoW show…

  • Jengie

    how many vehicle fights were there in wrath?flying on a drake at Malygos, 1 full vehicle fight in Ulduar and some cannons on a boat in Icc. Jeez, loads of vehicles fights in wrath really. I found them fun and a nice change from running around with the character i’ve been looking at for years now.
    They should use that kind of change of pace more often in my view. why wouldnt you like it, especially if they only use them very rarely,

  • Steve-O

    woot woot.. kick ass crew.. I was waiting for the time that mike B stepped in cause Gannon was busy ;) .. Zero sympathy that Gary isnt there cause hes prepping for E3!! /jealous. Hope your Fiancée is doing better Mike.

    China
    You guys nailed everything I was thinking.. Human rights issues in china? say it aint so!.. sadly thats not something new. But probably more sad is the fact that it is a great story for the media to bring up because it ties in with such a huge name (WoW) that most of people are at least aware of (non gamers included). You guys did a good job being politically correct tho kudos for that.. because im sure between the three of you I would have being laughing my ass off at work if it was uncensored ;) .

    WoW Inventory
    WoW definitely needs to take a que from Trion on this one. Take the wardrobe they have and apply it to the specs. Build out the talent trees with equipment slots so that you can put items around the outside of the tree. When you switch specs.. THATS your active gear (if you leave a slot open then whatever you have equipped at the time stays equipped). And blatantly steal their wardrobe feature while theyre at it. that right there frees up so much space it would conquer the problem almost instantly.

    • DavidM

      Generally an awesome show but I am baffled by the comments about the labor camp. The ignorance of the panel is scary. Please never talk about a non-serious story again with these ppl. Kudos to the panel in This Week in MMO who showed more dignity, empathy and brain.

  • Tiorted726

    I am glad Fred/Bob is back

    Re: Murkablo

    There was a comment that it’s too soon to put a Diablo 3 collector’s edition pet into the game. Going by that Blizzard product timeline leaked in Nov. 2010, D3 is estimated to be released in Q4-2011, probably Q1-2012 knowing Blizzard’s penchant for releasing games “when it’s done”. Nonetheless, it’s sooner than we all think.

    Is it just me that feels that Lore is talking out of his ass half the time? :/

    On the topic of “melee never going into ranged” the issue being addressed was not that they want to do more stuff, but rather that they cannot afford to go into ranged to avoid attacks because they cannot keep up even 10% of their dps active in that time, unlike ranged (minus hunter) who retain 100% of their damage regardless of range.

    On topic of vehicle mechanics, the idea was not that such a fight is cool because it’s “random”, so the example given with Omnotron was particularly bad. Vehicles introduce the “magic stick” that players see in quest zones back into the raiding scene making the boss fight distinctly different and most of the time damn interesting, making a sizable change from others where your baseline strategy is always “use rotation, avoid shit, kill adds”.

    Don’t even get me started on other topics….

    • http://www.saganic.com Hoaxxy

      He does talk out of his ass and he does ramble on, this is why we love him :)

  • Aaron

    Chris Hanel needs to be a permanent fixture on Legendary. He’s hilarious and knows what he is talking about.

    • MMO_Doubter

      Agreed. He should be a regular.

  • Chris

    Woot, Mike B FTW!

  • Darkwake

    Solution to gold farmers = remove the ability to trade currency via character to character. Leave auction houses up as the only way for players to trade currency to eachother.

    • MMO_Doubter

      Gold buyer puts worthless grey item in AH for 5000 gold buyout.

      Gold seller buys item, transferring 5000 gold to customer.

    Alicia is our only hope

  • http://www.saganic.com Hoaxxy

    Quite disappointed with this episode.. Missing Gary, although he’s less experienced in the WoW universe, he tends to ask very good questions. Good work without him though, this one was a long time coming!

    • MMO_Doubter

      Got to agree. Gary does a fine job hosting.

      MikeB is cool, but not organized enough for this. I am sure he would get better with practice, though.

  • Ihadrabies

    I think Mike did a really good job hosting, Good job man! :D

  • Kadlec

    Please, what is name of the song in the beginning?
    I tried to find it, unsuccessfully.

  • Zoomkin

    Awesome as allways!

  • Zoomkin

    first! btw

    Bluepost:

    Players were complaining that their inventories weren’t growing with the game. Things like consumables, food, quest items and gear sets take up the bag space and creates issues for a great number of players.

    To adress this issue we are adding a new inventory slot called the lunchbox, this is a food only bag for delicious mana cakes and sagefish heads.

    Gear sets have been removed from the game.
