Summary: Another apology for getting this episode up late. We're still trying to get used to Logic Pro and Sigmandis decided to make his voice 10x lounder than Xantar's on his recording so we had to pull a backup. We cover some newly released beta content, tell beginners how to use the Real ID system, and talk about Blizzard's big announcement about cross-realm-zones. Oh yea we also have Jill giveaway a Razer Naga. No emails this week though so send us some love at holyshattpodcast@gmail.com. World of Warcraft News Finally Wrathion and his friends have had their purposes revealed. Madam Goya in The Veiled Star in Taverns of the Mist sells otherwise unpurchasable goods in a gold only auction. Things that can be found here (as speculated by items listed in the beta) rare mounts, tabards, pets, recipes, gear such as removed original naxx gear, etc. Ashes of A’lar started bidding at 20k! Cool new option for a gold sink. Freshly datamined from the beta comes Druid armored feral forms for Bear and Cat! These things look wicked, and are very reminiscent of the Nordrassil druid T5 Set. This is for use with the new druid ability Incarnation. Mix that with the ability to glyph to make travel form a mountable stag, and Druid’s are looking pretty dressed up come mists! New Pandaren dances! Males shuffle as per the LMFAO song, and females do the recently viral carameldansen motions. Account level achievements. Most achievements will now be account level, so if you earn loremaster on one character, your account has earned it, and you can use the title on other characters. Some rewards will be level restricted (ie no riding Invincible at level 10), and things like reputation will still be per character. Progress of an achievement is not culminated together from multiple characters. WoW 101 How to use real ID system Real ID is a system that you can use to stay in touch with players no matter what Blizzard game they are playing. With Real ID you can chat with your friend no matter what toon or realm they are on. You can also use it to chat with your friends who play Starcraft or Diablo. In the past the only way to add someone on Real ID was to get the email they use to log into their Blizzard account. Instead of typing in their toon name to add them as a friend you would type in their email address. The problem with this old system is players didn’t want to give out their email address to friends in WoW. Also the old Real ID system would show the players real name. The new system allows players to exchange battle tags. Battle tags allow you to have the same functionality as Real ID, but you are not able to see the players real name. Real ID will allow you to do cross realm raiding, dungeons, and in MoP allow you to meet up in cross realm zones. You can also do cross realm battlegrounds. Our Battle Tags Sigmandis#1626 Xantar#1391 Live Dungeon Run Discussion Topic We discuss the cross realm zone's and how they do and don't address low population server issues.
