"Yes, episode number 33 of our podcast is now up for download over at WoW Radio, and if you're a big fan of the show, it's a doozy.In the meantime, she's also added a few new pages to the library, namely the Retired Pet page and the "Fake" Pet Skills page. Since we haven't done our ""normal"" show in a few weeks (because of the interview with Xzin last time around), we decided to go all fan service, and caught up on all the shout-outs, fan email, and other fan shenanigans we usually do (there's even some Turpster love poetry).The former deals with formerly tamable pets that can no longer be tamed, while the latter deals with pet skills that are present during the newbie hunter taming quests, but not on any permanently tamed pet. But even if you're not down with the silliness, there's lots of good WoW news in this week's episode, including: Some good discussion about the Wrath alpha news and what it means A look at what's going down on Sunwell Plateau, including the Aldor and Scyer neckpieces And a little bit about the Gurubashi Arena in STV Plus we answer all kinds of email questions, including rested XP in expansions, what's wrong with Blackout in a shadow priest spec, and whether we should call the new five man MrT or MgT Lots of good stuff with John P, Turpster and myself. I rather like both of the new pages. As always, if you have questions or comments for us, feel free to drop an email: send it to theshow@wowinsider.com. And of course, you can always listen live -- we go live on the air every Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm EST over on WoW Radio.Not only should the information be helpful (if sad) to any newbie wondering where they can get that awesome ghost wolf, but the pages were a nice walk down memory lane for this old hunter.

Tune in next Saturday and every Saturday for the WoW Insider Show -- it's just like this very site, except in audio form. Please oh please, keep the shoutouts and fanrequests to a minimum, there is nothing more boring then listening to a podcast bable on with names you never heard about for 5 min.I remember when I made first Tauren Hunter, I was always disappointed that Swoop wasn't an actual bird pet skill, and I was considering a pet crab for my Dwarf Hunter at one point, and would have loved to have a thorny pet to add a bit more damage and threat power for tanking. Do my request and do a podcast/show worth listening to, that means: Talk about topics and info about wow, thats why I download this show, not to hear random player names from random servers." "It was previously mentioned that the new badge items for Blizzard's World of Warcraft were supposed to reflect the theme for the blood elves.Crabs could probably use some love anyway, as they seem to be competing with the likes of Sporebats and Bears for most neglected pet family. However, several players on the WoW forums noted that the overall design of the items don't follow in the actual gold and red color design that the race favors. In contrast to the supposed theme advertised by Blizzard, most of the new gear still retain the look of the Zul'Aman badge items which were aimed primarily for trolls. But anyway, if you're a Hunter, and you haven't checked out Petopia in a while, it's worth a look, there's some pretty cool stuff going on over there. world of warcraft powerleveling Fortunately, Blizzard Poster Drysc was there to give a rather lengthy explanation regarding this: Contrary to popular belief designing a new item set does take a while. Regarding melee hunters..

We usually use color shifts on the same designs to save time, the exception to that would be the arena sets where we want the items to specifically match the PvE counterparts.yes, the thought is laughable to most.Of course, we don't exactly know what's happening in the Stratholme of the past -- maybe the Infinite Dragonflight is causing problems there that we need to stop (or, even better, maybe we'll get to see an as-yet-unknown reason why a Paladin of the Silver Hand, headstrong as he might have been, decided to slaughter an entire town even before he was under Frostmourne's corruption -- maybe there's more to Arthas than we saw in Warcraft III). wowgold The choice to color shift is usually when an item isn't something that would benefit from having a unique model, usually a leveling item. But hopefully the Infinite Dragonflight storyline will be continued in some way -- mucking about in time isn't exactly safe, so there should be good reasons the Bronze Dragonflight sends us back to these past events. wow powerlevel In the case of the badge rewards I can see the reasoning to use color shifts for the level of investment taken to acquire them.Watching history firsthand is fun and all, but the lore of the Bronze Dragons falls apart completely if they just start opening up theme parks in the past. Is buying an item with badges the same as clearing Black Temple. "even better, maybe we'll get to see an as-yet-unknown reason why a Paladin of the Silver Hand, headstrong as he might have been, decided to slaughter an entire town even before he was under Frostmourne's corruption ". No, no not really. world of warcraft power leveling So, it isn't so horrible if a shift is used. Drysc also mentioned that the entirety of the art department has shifted its focus on the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Therefore, it wasn't that surprising to find mere color shifts as the biggest difference between the newly released badge items. eq2 platinum The good news is that Blizzard promised that the next expansion will see far better quality in terms of the environments, textures and models. Hopefully, the developers will pull through with this statement and see better quality items in future updates of the game. "
