Grebog's New Character Challenge Captain level 41 to 49 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP-nrVbGHn4 Grebog spends the night running from 41 to 49 on his new character challenge captain. WoW Noob Raid will be checking out Sepulcher of the First Ones in Normal for the 2nd time tonight. WoW 10.0 - Dragonflight has been announced, with a new 4 zone area, new playable race with it’s own class, a revamped talent tree, dragon riding, and much much more! WoW Classic Sunwell (last raid of Burning Crusade) was on PTR, so it will be dropping soon... and the un-nerfed version to start with, so rivers of tears are coming our way, up to the mountaintop of M'uru, the nightmare of all (and true boss of Sunwell). Nerfed version will come a few weeks/months later, as the un-nerfed is no joke. Blizzard announced Wrath of the Lich King in 2022 (so surely October or November) More people are logging in and joining, so we are hopeful to have 10 for Wrath SWTOR In SWTOR, we're looking forward to updating to 7.0.2, which will include some fine tuning on new systems and currencies that were new with 7.0. Notably, caps have been raised on the currencies that are the easiest to get. Some of the currencies that were the biggest bottlenecks have been tweaked to drop slightly more often. A big change for PvPers is that losses in war zones will now count toward weekly targets. This will bring conventional PvP more in line with GSF for making progress on Conquest and Galactic Seasons. This update will come on Tuesday this week! Also... Max and Sema will be doing this week's SEPC tonight after the AIE Podcast (8:30ish central). Showing some SW cosplay and other stuff from PAX East, which is still in progress. FFXIV
