Bitter and Salty – Episode 51 – Silvermoon Pub Crawl

In the fifty-first World of Warcraft podcast episode, we announce the world first 25-man raid takedown of Garrosh while wondering if non-raiders are feeling left out in patch 5.4, Molsan rapidly levels his Elemental Shaman using only a macro and a mouse wheel, Sláinte explains his own methods for finding people to Flex raid with, we question whether or not we could actually switch classes and specs permanently, and we wrap up our thirty weeks of WoW with stories about our main characters and what they mean to us. Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte. Patch 5.4… THE RAIDING PATCH Is that all there is now… raiding? Is Blizzard purposely ignoring the rest of the game in order to wrap up this expansion? Did they mismanage features and put too much into the game too soon? Look at the Patch Game Tape Patch 5.4 is just… raiding….? http://www.wowwiki.com/Patches Shaman Leveling with a Mouse Wheel Like a whole new world of character leveling just opened up. https://twitter.com/StupidGoldTweet/status/383816970577403904 Plastic Duck Solves the Raid Scheduling Problems Use the in-game Guild Calendar!!!1 Corections and Mistakes Department Yes, oQuest was WRONG and FAIL Email from Crusader Kaje I feel like I’m channeling the Mystery Man here… After listening to your latest podcast, I decided to go looking for the oQuest addon you mentioned.  After many dead-ends, I finally found oQueue (not oQuest) on curseforge.com.  This addon seems to be what you were describing.  Just thought you might want to update that on your webpage. Thanks for a great podcast, it’s one of my favorites. What if We Switched Mains? What would you do? How would you play? Would you switch factions, races, genders? What spec would you be? Does your playing your “main” ever make you feel locked in to a particular playstyle? TWoWoW Week 30: Your main and what he/she means to you. Molsan Slainte Audio Juuno Strumpet Rho Ben Email Jerome I came back to WoW for Jean. That’s not entirely true, but it serves a a pretty nice logline, don’t you think? I had started playing WoW mostly to get an in with Jean while we were dating; once I had managed to convince her I was a worthwhile housemate, I mostly stopped playing. It was the end of Cataclysm, and I had ground to a halt in Deepholm, bored out of my mind and gazing longingly at other games. So I let my sub lapse, and moved on. But then MoP came out, and Jean (and many of our friends) returned to WoW and started talking about how much fun they were having. And so I bought a copy of MoP, and rolled up a Pandaren Monk to see what all the fuss was about. And my friends were right; WoW was *fun* again. And Jean and I were now playing together again. Ghraycee was brilliant to play, simple and clever, and I started to think that maybe I could, one day, be a part of that community of people built around WoW. I started running dungeons, going after achievements. I started focusing on Rep and doing dailies. I even signed up with a VERY casual raiding group, and started learning to Tank (well, off-tank, but still). I started rolling alts and playing on my own, not just grouped up with Jean. Reaching out to new people, making new friends, becoming a part of the community, counting myself lucky. And Ghraycee was my vehicle for that, my vector of infection. Ghraycee made me want to play WoW for *me*, not just to play along with others. She made me understand how other people feel when they play WoW, how possessive and effulgent and invested they are when they talk about this game, and what it means to them. Ghraycee helped me understand Jean better, and for that I will be forever grateful. My main is Ghraycee on Proudmoore, a member of Wowcoholics Anonymous. And she means at least one world to me. Mominatrix My main toon and what she means to me, Hmm…Well, my original main was an undead mage named Onehotmama, I picked undead because Belf’s felt too close to Nelf’s to be “hardcore” horde and I wanted something with a human-like form. Once Cata dropped, I rolled a goblin DK, Mominatrix. She became my new main because I related to her. She’s a short, sassy little firecracker with cute little purple pigtails. Just like me! (minus the purple pigtails…Although if I could make my hair do that I totally would.) All the /jokes and /flirts she comes up with are exactly the things I would say if I was allowed to! After almost 3 years of playing her she is totally the digital version of me. Big grats to you guys on 50 episodes, it’s a huge milestone and something you should be proud of. Heres to many many more! /toast Time is money friend. Mentions @bitterandsalty @RealmPodcast my main has been since burning crusade.demoting her would be against the nature.

Most times fun but ocassionaly taking a break to try on something different. — Jules Burt (@julesburt) September 30, 2013 @bitterandsalty Although I have forever lost access to my original account, Monmonmo is a Warlock on Exodar just as my first ever toon was. — Cole (@ColeP_TE) September 30, 2013 @bitterandsalty Continued- I made my new Warlock when I came back to WoW 2 years later, and for sentimental reasons, will never transfer him — Cole (@ColeP_TE) September 30, 2013 Mentions @bitterandsalty I have an ideafor u2 , I propos a foot race betwn the 2 of u wth lvl 1 unded toons frm the strtng zon to bootybay no rouges — Allen McCormick (@BlinkPhase) September 27, 2013 I still can't tell @bitterandsalty apart, but I agree with the guy that lamented Open Raid's lack of early morning groups. — Chris OCallahan (@StupidGoldTweet) September 27, 2013 @bitterandsalty Mystery Man forgets to take into account the joy I get from using a piece I’ve crafted myself. — Strumpet One oh One (@strumpet101) September 27, 2013 @strumpet101 @bitterandsalty Agreed; I often feel Mystery Man and I are playing two different games. #actuallyagoodthing #WoWforeveryone — Jerome Comeau (@Heronymus) September 27, 2013 @bitterandsalty I'm a Skada convert after this ep. No lag on Ordos fight using weak work pc! I wish Recount dropped loot after I killed it. — Pancake (@fiercepancake) September 27, 2013 @bitterandsalty To do some easter egg hunts, you can get handynotes to hide chests until you give up, then have it show you what you missed. — Ashayo (@Ashayo) September 27, 2013 @bitterandsalty – DING! Kachew, a Tauren Death Knight in the Bitter and Salty guild is now my 11th 90. — Matthew Burlingame (@mattburlingame) September 30, 2013 @bitterandsalty My opponent this week has not replaced his TE, who is on a bye week. I'd like to win, of course, but not like that. #FFL  — Jean (@jeanbees) September 29, 2013 Sláinte’s Blizzcon Tip Be nice to “celebrities.” Music Clips of intro and outro music taken from “Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix)” by spinningmerkaba Additional clips of music taken from “Daft Punk Get Lucky (Mexican Monkey Mix)” by Magic Finger Contact Info Email: podcast@bitterandsalty.com Phone: 413 BIT SALT or 413 248 7258 Molsan Method: http://molsanmethod.com Twitter http://twitter.com/bitterandsalty http://twitter.com/molsan http://twitter.com/saltyslainte
