Bitter and Salty – Episode 103 – Porch Package Lesions

In the one hundred and third World of Warcraft podcast episode, we determine the exact moment that Legion goes live in the US and the EU, and plan for all the DDOS attacks, we announce the raid schedule for The Emerald Nightmare, and plan to get our mains and alts raid-ready on or before September 20th, we debate about the reliance on addons for raiding in Legion, and whether or not Blizzard should nerf boss encounters so we can play with Stock UI, we are embarrassed to admit that we use mouse wheels and macros to make gold and do DPS, and we tell you exactly where you should not eat when you’re at the Anaheim Convention Center this year for BlizzCon.

Bitter and Salty is brought to you by Molsan and Sláinte.

Alt-mains vs. co-mains… Nobody wants to talk about it or admit that it happens

Gamescom interview with Ion Hazzikostas

Artifacts and artifact power will be relevant throughout Legion

7.1 content discussion already coming in a few weeks

Admitted that content is being coded against STOCK UI

AddOns can’t be used in raids

Only breaking addons in competitive situations (dungeons and raids) other addons are not affected

Should raid encounters be simple like Vanilla

Should raid encounters rely on addons

Challenge (How long can you play with STOCK UI)

Content Longevity and Relevance

Investing in artifact power on a “main” and then they nerf you… rage quit?

Keeping raids and content relevant longer

What if you experience raids and content later in the game? Are you a lesser WoW player?

DDOS

What does it mean and why is WoW always down?

New Segment: Molsan is Embarrassed

* Mousewheel is back!

For auctions and DPS

If you use macros or a guide, does that make you a good or bad player

Salty Blizzcon Tip

Do not eat from the food vendors inside the convention center
