Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 320 - Clan of Darkness FTW


Aprillian, Ashayo, Tedrah and Jeppy discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. Contest Ongoing send an email to ctrlaltwow@gmail.com telling us how you play WoW, either as an altaholic or dealing with it in your family life to being placed in a drawing for a WoW Pet or an Authenticator.


Juuno’s Corner

Hello Ctrl Alt Wow Darlings!  Aprillian, Ashayo, Tedra, Kim Molly and our sweet El Jeppy... (I'm sooooo sorry our Jeppy isn't here today! Sending you lots and lots and lots and lots of hugs and loves Jeppy!!!)

So our little audio does not properly indicate all the awesome stuff we did last week (we recorded Friday night before CAW records, so this audio is actually from last week.. <=) - There were lots of awesome guildies on and we got to hang out with Matahorn, Pontis, Kittyfox, Big G, Leeta, Zikar, Tiber, Befreit, Restlys and Litehearted!!!  We did 25 man Onyxia (no mount dropped), 25 man Obsidian Sanctum (for Ashayo's sexy mount!), and we started 25 man Ulduar!!!  It was SO EPIC and such wonderful fun!  Mom was having very dodgy internet that night due to storms, so she sounds a little funny in the audio and we ended up losing her before the night was out and didn't get to record our regular caw... hope this is alright though!  

We love you guys and gals!
Great big hugs & kisses... *muah!*
Juuno & Pixiegirl of Korialstrasz and Earthen Ring

xoxoxoxoxoxox!!!

p.s. Is there anything we can do for Jeppy?


What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Green Fire tomb


Ashayo

Farming Emerald Whelping in Feralas coz Molly said so
Levelling Monk - went Horde. CoD FTW
Running all dungeons.
Gnomer seems very truncated ... dont' even go to area to get quests
Tip: Wait for queue to pop after doing daily, but hand in when it pops.

Rolled ALliance priest with molly
LFR - pet drop for molly. no upgrades
Ulduar with Clan of Darkness

Jeppy

Leveling my priest through pet battles.  I’ve gotten about a lvl so far.  It’s been a fun way to do it and to level my pets too.  

Started Alliance toons with Ashayo just because.  :) I’m a Human Monk and I love the Fists of Fury.  My petite little human punching like crazy.  

I got the pet drop from Throne of Thunder but it didn’t show in my bag :(

First off I loved the aprillian rap I feel sorry for anyone who has not heard it and heres my audio


Ularend - Greetings from Eldre’Thalas

Hello C.A.W. crew

Relatively new listener to your guys' podcast here and I want to tell you its been a lot of fun to listen too,especially after a tough week at work. It's great to know there's a bunch of proud altaholics out there in WoW podcast land.


Now that the sappy stuff is out of the way, I have a couple of questions for yall:


What is the one battle/companion pet that just doesn't want to be part of your collection? I just can't seem to get a hold of a Minfernal no matter what I do.

and

What do you guys do to relax besides WoW? Knitting? Plotting world domination? Punting kittens? There's gotta be something besides WoW right? Right?


Anyways. Thanks for your time!

Hello CAW,

here is my Audio for the week, not sure about the last part, but.. anyway, Aprillian if i can't , cut it out :)

Hello all!

I play a holy paladin and a disc priest on kael'thas Horde. Haven't been able to get into any normal raids to speak of this tier sooo... I have 8 90's and several more over 80 and decided to roll a 3rd paladin on alliance. I set her hearth to the vale so she could do the pet battle daily from Aki. Yesterday, when she reached 61, I decided to go for a random. Low and behold, chose your your rep option came up, I now have 680 rep towards Golden Lotus at lvl 61! I checked my blood elf monk and she didn't have the option till I marched her down the August celestial vender and over to the questing area for the golden lotus npcs and had her talk to them. Now when she goes into LFD the option is there to choose those reps. My next move is to fly them over to the tillers to talk to npcs and see if I can choose them to represent in LFD. Of this has already been discovered I hadn't heard it yet, but this is an excellent thing for alts. The grind to get reps up on alts to gear for lfr is daunting the 3rd or 4th time for sure. Let me know if anyone out there wants to add a disc priest to their raid team.:-)

Found out something pretty exciting in game to day on an alt.

Bigger badder minions,

Good day CaW Crew, Aprillian, Ashayo, El Jeppy, and Tedra (and hello to this weeks special guest host)

Its been a great week in wow for the Nekrobob's. Lots of farming and rep-grinding, pet battling and archeologyzing. Hellsangel has reached level 75 and has decided to level all the way to 90 using mostly occupations and pet battles. Its a lot of fun and helps break up all the daily quests that Nekronomicon does.

Hope all our wonderful guild pals have had a fantastic week both in and out of game. Big undead hugs and welcome to all our new members. Please find a little audio submission included for this weeks super show.
Many thanks for your wonderful podcast, we love and appreciate you all so very much.

and remember undead love is forever…

Hugs & Smooches,

Totemoneal - Great show
Hey y'all.  I just wanted to say what a great show you have.  You guys are all great together.  If I don't really have a main does that make me an altaholic?  WIll I have to go to some meetings to cure myself?  LOL.  Keep up the good work.



Totemoneal (for now)

For the Horde (In Ashayo's voice of course)

Juuno & Pixiegirl


What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

I moved

Made the Crafted Dreadful Gladiator set

Ashayo

Pet Battles  ; finally loaded Pet Battle Teams and setup two levelling teams.

Ashayo - Bracers off Tortos
- Tier Leggings off Ji-Kun ; but had better from Nalak.
- Reforged/regemmed ... again. I think Mr Robot is playing a joke on me
- Ran 3rd wing of ToT for first time - as dps! luckily, someone volunteered to run the maze

Jekle got all his sigils for legendary gem

LWR Raiding - Jekle
Got down HoF 1st boss after a few false starts, lag boss etc

Realised a good way to practise warlock is brawlers guild. First 5 fights with ease with Voidlord.
Soooo much easier with a pet. Got up to rank4

World bosses
- Tier gloves for Ashamin off Nalak

Decided I needed to do more levelling in MoP. Rolled a monk on the 2nd account. Trying to find my heirloom gear. Only just now realised that you can upgrade 1-80 heirloom gear to 1-85 gear with extra justice.

Why can’t you email heirlooms to a Panda before they chosen a faction?

Hello Aprillian, Ashayo, Jeppy and Tedrah,

sorry, no audio this week i haven't been playing much, and haven't gotten around doing much at all,

can now start on collecting 6000 valor (3000 when 5.3 hits, witch should be in the next couple of

Thats all for me this week, i hope to be able to send a audio in next week, have fun in and out of game

Hello CAW Crew!
Wren and Morgaine here. Not much in our WoW world- we've kind of been busy with lots of real-life stuff.
Just wanted to pop on to send you guys some late-night wine-induced parody song inspiration we had.
For those who know Grease, this is Morgaine's favorite song from it, even if it is somewhat depressing- so what better song to parody? haha
Anyways, enjoy the song.

Link to song:


For the Alliance, for the Horde, for the half-drunk bottle of Moscato wine,
Wren & Morgaine


Greetings to all the excellent CAW hosts,

So wonderful to hear you all back together again.  I have been busy as usual.  Working on leveling the Winterhoof guild.  We are at level 24 now.  Just 3 more bubbles left to go.  I have 3 little Dranei on Winterhoof, Inessa is  lvl 90, Zukra is lvl 85 and currently working through Jade Forest and Varenka is lvl 23.

I am currently working through the Master of All.  Just finished jewelcrafting, and need skinning & leatherworking still.  My leatherworking is the Lich King level, just need to level Tashelle the rest of the way through Burning Crusade to advance that skill.

Also working on my Burning Crusade reputations.  Should finish Keeper of the Sands today.  Then Ogrila is left.  Ugh!

Ashayo, you may have already worked this out in the meantime, but there is a trick to the Spirit Trainers and Master Tamers in Pandaria.  You have to defend against the type of attack they make, not the battle pet type.  They tend to have devastating attacks against the type that is strongest against their type.  Choose a battle pet that their stongest attack is weak against, even if they only do average damage to them.  Burrowing, flying, shielding attacks are needed to mitigate the damage.  Self healing is very useful.  Then it is a battle of attrition, just hope they don't crit.  The Spirit Tamers do not deviate their attacks.  Learn their rotation, and hope they don't crit.  Oh, and the water strider pets are amazing at lvl 25.

For the Horde! (ok, and the Alliance, but only on Winterhoof)

Hello to my favorite podcasters!

This week the Darkmoon Faire came to town once more, and I ran each and every last alt through. Whew! One of them managed to catch one of the rare fish while she was casting for herring!

In other news, Narendra is in the home stretch to 90. Look for that in the coming week - she'll be number five for me.

I'll let Voltandra tell you about the fun times at the fair. Have a great week, everyone!!

Necronomicon
Sexy hat

Good morning CaW Crew, Aprillian, Ashayo, El Jeppy, and Tedra (and this weeks special guest)

Not much to report in wow this week, Nekronomicon is still in hospital recovering from the trauma of children's week. Hellsangel has gone from level 70 to 74 with the XP from dozens of pet battles. She's also been enjoying the Darkmoon fair and won a very stylish hat from playing her favorite game Wack-a-Gnoll. No smoking around the hat please you might set off the fireworks. This is what happens when you let Goblins design your merchandise.

Much love and many thanks for your super podcast

and remember undead love is forever...



Sexy new hat.



Big G
