“Brass Knuckles and a Goalie Mask”

The Horde for Life start the show discussing the wildly varying activity levels of our hosts but eventually settle into some lively discourse over the recent Activision Blizzard Q1 numbers with an HFL spin. Instead of just reporting the news, we take the Blue Sky approach to speculate on the HOW and WHY before going deep into the WHAT giving our opinions and ideas to bring back the lost subs.

All these plus 5.3 patch news, developer comments and your emails!

Episode 73

“And a Druid Makes Three”

While we did not make it official until AFTER the show, Kristine aka Tika has agreed to join Rich and Dustin as the third chair of our podcast. We also recorded this episode the day before Activision’s announcement of 1.3 million sub losses in the first quarter.

We will address this next week but still plenty to talk about including some pros and cons of a tri-spec, developer comments and some great feedback on CRZ and PvP.

And would you believe we have not one, not two but three Food for the Gods suggestions? All this plus our 5.3 patch predictions and a great blue sky discussion on what MOP might be missing and what the next expansion might deliver!

Resilience Prediction

Posted in General, HFL, MMO, Podcast, PvP, World of Warcraft with tags , , , , on April 21, 2013 by Armada

I have received many emails asking for details about my comments and predictions regarding needed resilience changes from 2011. Several people have expressed interest in hearing what can only be called a fortunate prognostication at this point.

So here are the links for episode 12 and episode 14 from May of 2011. Fast forward to the 56 and 54 minute mark respectively for these interesting discussions.

Horde for Life 70 – Better Late Than Never!

Episode 70

“Better Late Than Never”

Resilience is Dead… sorta. OK not dead but Blizzard has taken the single best step towards breaking down the artificial barriers that separate the PvE and PvP worlds with the impacting changes coming to resilience. We drill down into the details and tell you why everyone will praise this change eventually.

But that is not all for this jam packed show. Dustin takes us into deep discussion on the daily grind and our blue sky section originates from a great email we received on re-purposing old dead servers. All this plus Hearthstone details and more content than should be possible in a two hour show.

Horde for Life 69 – Brill is NOT Goldshire

Episode 69

“Brill is NOT Goldshire”

What a fun show to record this week. Not only did we cover many developer topics such as cross realm zones, battlegrounds, housing and the breaking of unlucky streaks but we also discuss our polling data from hordeforlife.com that lets your voice be heard. We also received some great player feedback including a horde rebuttal response from last weeks “pro alliance” listener and some love for PvP and the old Alterac Valley.

After the break we come back go long on some blue sky discussion where we ask; is there a viable way to make further use of classic content while our alts go through the leveling grind? We think so! We close out the show with an Alliance versus Horde MMO Six Pack where Dustin and Rich explain to you the top six reasons why they are Alliance or Horde… for Life!

So sit back and enjoy the well over 2 hours of Warcraft discussion.

“Alliance! Alliance! Alliance!”

Ron Loupe joins us this week as we once again abandon any hope of a less than 2+ hour show! But a good time was had as we discussed more about patch 5.2, plenty of developer comments, housing, PvP and so much more including Rich being challenged on currency and the Horde being called dirty?!

All this lively discussion plus an EGO Networks announcement, a Food for the Gods from Apsana of the Darkmoon Herald and a fun discussion on our favorite class and specs in the MMO 6 pack.

Step inside Horde and Alliance alike and lets talk Warcraft!

Episode 67

“Thunderstuck”

Yes the episode title is cliche, but it is late and we wanted to get this episode out to you before the Tuesday 5.2 downtime.

The good news is we go way long (again) and eclipse the two and one half hour mark of Warcraft goodness. From discussions and details on the 5.2 patch to Rich’s trip to the other side of the tracks, episode 67 has something for everyone.

PvP talk, transmog, lore, cross realm zones, currency talk, player housing and GASP even some class discussions all make an appearance rounded out with a fun MMO six pack, a simple Food for the Gods and of course all your friendly (and not so friendly) feedback.

“A Darkmoon Fair Foursome”

We break out the ride tickets as Kevin and Apsana from the Darkmoon Fair join us to discuss all matter of Warcraft topics.

From the Cross Realm Zone debate, to casting the Warcraft movie we cover as much as most shows before the break. The Transmog Spotlight takes us down the Druid path with Val Kilmer and the Thunderheart set!

For Blue Sky it is time to make a case for a single currency as we debate and speculate the Pros and Cons.

Episode 64 – “More Lore”

We are happy to welcome friend of the show Ron Loupe on this lore heavy episode. We highlight a Blue Sky lore mechanic that we believe will introduce lore to a whole new corps of players while giving lore veterans an ear to ear grin.

When not talking lore we discuss some Blizzard developer comments surrounding PvP, mounted combat and player housing!

All this plus a new Food for the Gods, your feedback and the Transmog spotlight offers a treat for Warlocks!
