Episode 17 – The Real Anniversary Episode

Episode 17 – The Real Anniversary Episode

Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 17!

First year of Solo Queue in the books and stumbling into some creative WoW-adjacent media got me thinking about all the value added to WoW by content creators outside of Blizzard.

Four Tanks and a Healer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A47d3fjDNSQ

Stormwind University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sgpgEy-UW8

Karazhan Library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkDNwkGDS84

“What have you done lately?” – 16:52

Trivia is now 42 characters every day – the end is in sight, January 7
For max leveling efficiency, that meant getting 5 characters to 80
I made my 2 Earthen characters
Monthly inventory for first time in 3 months
Sporadically getting weekly meta quests done to keep gearing the 5 level 80s

Addon Recommendation: Altoholic – 25:39

Tracks gold, levels, achievements, time played, and many more bits of individual character info account-wide, server by server, faction by faction.

...and Siren Isle – 27:03

Yes, it feels a lot like 10.0.7, but it is kind of different
Gameplay is...fine; better than the alternative of nothing until 11.1
Story is hard to take in, maybe just for me?

News – 46:34

Still 2 story questlines to come in 11.0.7, Dalaran epilogue and Lingering Shadows
Turbulent Timeways coming January 7 – 5 weeks of timewalking
New game modes coming to the Character select screen? Might it be...
Plunderstorm returns January 14 with less demanding reward system, new rewards, same battlefield
And two holidays are wrapping up next week, Anniversary event January 7 and Winter Veil January 5!

Winter Veil in your Garrison! – 56:36

The second-best place to celebrate Winter Veil is in your WoD Garrison, which naturally gets decorations and there are WV dailies to add more decorations. If you haven’t done it, why not now? I did, during the recording.

And, I’ve been thinking about WoD lately, which had its 10th anniversary in November. 2025 is my 10th anniversary in WoW. Throughout the coming year, I am going to go through some of the highlights of this much-maligned expansion to show what is still enjoyable, including featuring the 3 WoD raids in Raid of the Month throughout the year.

Raid of the Month: Antorus (Legion) – 1:12:02

Speaking of RotM, we visit the final raid of Legion, Antorus, the Burning Throne and see where that giant sword came from. Is it worth it? Lots of running around, Eonar a slow encounter, but if you want the 2 mounts and various transmog, then yes, get in there, at least a few times. Did I get any mounts? Listen to find out – no spoilers!

Also a plug for the website simplearmory.com – check it out to see all of your collectable items, along with a planner to go hunt them all down!

Drink of the Month – 1:30:20

All that raiding has me thirsty for Dwarven Mead and Greatfather’s Winter Ale at the Stonefire Tavern in Ironforge, in sight of Greatfather Winter himself!

Main Topic: Yep, more Winter Veil, including *SPOILERS* presents opened! – 1:31:50

We head across the molten channel in Ironforge to check out Winter Veil activities, including a ride out to kill the Greench, unwrapping the 2024 presents live, and sharing my Winter Veil wish list, now for 2025.

Plans for 2025 and gratitude for the influences that led me to SQ – 1:41:18

SQ plans for the coming year, a Season 2, if you will. Biggest is the goal of two episodes each month, a traditional (and shorter) episode, and a second episode of various formats, including interviews, single topic deep dives, or overflow topics for the month.

I want to close this episode with gratitude for my sources of inspiration for Solo

Queue including traditional radio, some Blizzard podcasts no longer with us, and many that are. Thank you, fellow podcasters! Honored to be among your ranks.

Solo Queue Mailbox – 2:04:16

The second and third reviews on Apple Podcasts from Mr Rascolwitz and Cyn (psmst1). #grateful

Truly, thanks for a great first year of Solo Queue! I hope you keep listening and sharing it with friends.

Outro – 2:08:47

Episode 18 - How Do You Solo? Interview with The Snek of Vol'dun!

Solo Queue - A World of Warcraft Podcast

01/23/25 • 100 min

Episode 18 – How Do You Solo? Interview with The Snek of Vol’dun!

Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 18!

First episode of 2025 and Season 2 of Solo Queue is an interview with The Snek of Vol’dun, a vocal proponent of making the Sethrak a playable race. A chance social media encounter turned into a great conversation with a fellow solo player.

Still planning for a regular episode in January as part of the twice-monthly plan for this new year.

Interview with The Snek of Vol’dun – 8:52

Why the Sethrak?
A connection with the many snakes in Australia?
Lore of the Sethrak
A role to play fightinh Xal’atath?
A Sethrak in a Delve? “Enough to get you hooked.”
What classes could Sethrak play? Give us a Sethrak monk!
All the pieces are there: starting zone, back story, models, more
WoW 30th Anniversary Tour headed to Sydney
How did you start playing WoW, especially as a younger player?
Obligatory crapping on the writing during Shadowlands
Obligatory praising of Chris Metzen and his return
Snek as a solo player
Time zones are strange
Bits of Sethrak info in the Exploring Azeroth: Islands and Isles book
Should Sethrak be available to Horde or Alliance or both?
Predictions for what’s to come in the WoW story?
Updating “old” world zones for graphics and story could be easier with story progress and the presence of so many “Classic” versions
Blizzard, heed the command of The Snek of Vol’dun, the Sethrak’s strongest soldier!

Closing comments – 1:34:48

My thanks to The Snek of Vol’dun for coming on the show.

Outro – 1:36:30

Episode 9 - First Raid Clear of…Dazar’alor?

Solo Queue - A World of Warcraft Podcast

06/22/24 • 69 min

Episode 9 – First Raid Clear of...Dazar'alor? Show Notes Welcome to Episode 9! – 3:27 •Sound issues lately - I think I have them resolved. •Goodpods listed Solo Queue was as a Top 50 video game podcast last month! •Upcoming episodes: 10 will be an HDYS interview with Gin of Live, Laugh, Lore podcast. Ep. 11 will be just the second half of the introduction to playing WoW. Sorry to leave you hanging, ThatSkyGuy! News – 8:37 1.TWW launches Aug. 26 - I was only one day off! Early access on Aug. 22, Season 1 activities on Sept. 1. 2.I broke down and went all in on the 20th anniversary collector's edition. 3.TWW beta access was June 5, with codes for collector’s edition people arriving June 12. I am holding out against spoiling the Day 1 experience for myself, so no beta coverage here. 4.Mid-Summer Fire Festival begins today, June 21! 1.You can travel from zone to zone, city to city, and lighting your factions’ bonfires and extinguishing those of the rival faction. Do this to collect Burning Blossoms, the currency for the Fire Festival. There are buffs you can get and vendors to spend your blossoms on. In addition, there are festival related quests and achievements to check out. 2.Holiday boss is Frost Lord Ahune 3.This also brings in a big change to how holidays work in general. Now, you can only get one of these premier rare drops on the first attempt of the day per Bnet account. 4.To balance out the reduced availability, Blizzard have introduced bad luck protection, with chances rising after every failed attempt. 5.Once per day per account, Ahune will drop the Satchel of Chilled Goods - chance at the new Cliffside Wylderdrake armor, along with blossoms, Ahune's staff, and other items. 6.Festival runs until July 5, so 14 attempts. 5.10.2.7 patch was released May 7 with various small story questlines, content. 1.Dranei HA 2.Troll HA 3.Harbinger questline - setting up the TWW, good stuff. 4.Sins of the sister - difficult to remember or find, is in Bel'Ameth. 5.Be Yourself Visage Day - issues with not finding the NPCs is due to you not having done the questing related to those NPCs. Frustrating, but understandable, but frustrating. 6.All DF quests previously locked behind Renown levels are now available to all level 70 characters. 6.WoW Remix - MoP of course is live! 59 days left and counting. Once 70, I hear it is quicker for any Timerunner alts that you make AFTER achieving 70. 7.BfA Raids now soloable 8.Is the first TWW raid soloable? Not quite. Blizzard announced Story Mode as a new Raid difficulty. Neru'bar Palace, first TWW raid, will feature a new difficulty called "Story”. It is not Follower Raids. Party of 1-10 for a pared down battle with only the final boss. Popping in to a tavern or inn for a local drink – 40:01 Pandaren Plum Wine at The Lazy Turnip. We are drinking the local this month. Question of the month – 40:56 After giving the news and drama of Remix, have I been paying too much attention to headlines and nerf news and not enough time just playing and enjoying? What is your opinion on MoP Remix? Do you like this different style of content in this period leading up to a new expansion? Introducing the Raid of the Month! – 42:55 One big part of many solo players game is waiting literal years for Blizzard to open up old end-game content to solo players. With the news that BfA raids are now soloable, I chose Battle of Dazaralor for my first Raid of the Month on my Night Elf Feral Druid main, ilvl 484, 499 weapon. Dazaralor is a 12-boss raid and was the second raid of BFA. It launched in January of 2019, so I waited five and a half years to be able to solo it. That is too long. I chose it because it has two rare mounts that can drop on Mythic, both are pretty cool. The GMOD is a massive robot mech suit mount, the Goblin Machine of Death. It can drop in Normal, Heroic, or Mythic difficult. The Glacial Tidestorm, a very cool elemental off Jaina, only drops on Mythic. First 9 bosses gave little trouble. A 3% wipe after 5 minutes on Mekkatorque, but second time was fine. No GMOD. Stormwall Blockade was very difficult and took some research and four deaths. Jaina was easier, but no Glacial Tidestorm. Final tally 11 new appearances, no mounts, bunch of five-year-old achievements, 2,471 in gold, minus 250 in repair costs. Profit of 2,221 gold for roughly an hour of time, maybe less. I did eat dinner in the middle. Difficulty was a satisfying level, but I want this in less than five year. #FollowerRaidsWoW Outro Thanks to Blizzard and OGRE for audio, my lovely wife, and you for listening.

Comments, answers & help for all of it, along with an expansion announcement! (SQ, not WoW) SQ Ep. 3 is on your podcast platform of choice. I'll see you out there! Don't mind this: SKmW1OYni0tWQd9S8iYc Episode 3 Show Notes: Opening: Tyrande and Shandris talking about the future of the Night Elves in a Bel'Ameth in-game cinematic. Welcome to episode: Welcome to January, to 2024, and to Episode 3 of Solo Queue! Starting in Bel'ameth to celebrate the drop of 10.2.5 and the opening of the new Night Elf capital city. •Big news of the week is the arrival of 10.2.5. My first content update as a content creator. A fair amount of early online reactions seemed to be on the negative side, and I do not want to get drawn into that. •I will look for the positives because I think there are positives in 10.2.5 and I think there are realistic limits to what we can expect from a .5 patch, from an MMORPG in terms of story, and from a development team that I do believe is trying to turn a very large ship towards a better future. •In the show, we are going to talk about the big activities of 10.2.5: ◦The arrival or return of two capitals for two Alliance races ◦Some Azerothian Archives ◦A little bit on the Follower dungeons ◦My adventures in the Season of Discovery ◦The news ◦A video for advice on gearing as a solo player ◦And my mostly positive thoughts on 10.2.5 overall, despite some of the negative feedback that may be out there. •Some extra big thanks. ◦Big thanks to the Thrall's Balls podcast for support of Solo Queue on their own show. Check out their recent episode #124 on Spotify, Apple, or your own podcast feed or say hello @Thrallsballspod on Twitter ◦Thanks to my first two Patreon subscribers! Andrew and Righteous Bandy have taken the leap and are supporting the show with actual money! Some firm Patreon goals and rewards, including extra episodes, are coming. ◦And, thanks to you! Yeah you. I see you listening and reading these show notes! I want to hear from you with feedback and suggestions. soloqueuewow on socials, at gmail, and even at the Patreon. •I will be recording occasional interview episodes entitled "How Do You Solo?" I am going to be reaching out to players and content creators alike to hear how they play the game. There just might be another episode in your podcast feed before the February episode scheduled for the 21st. News and updates: •10.2.5 is out. Remember that dynamic flying is now available anywhere normal flying is offered in the Warcraft universe. That includes Outland, and the Outland Cup. The event ends on February 1st. •10.2.6 is on the PTR, as was reported in December, but it is fully-encrypted, so there has been no data-mining and still, no one knows that that mysterious black pirate flag hanging off the 2024 roadmap actually means. Visually, it sits between winter and spring, so possibly March? We will see. Looks like it may be followed shortly by The War Within Alpha. And season 4 looks to be spring, so likely April at the earliest. •On the Classic side, the next phase of Season of Discovery arrives February 8. The level cap will rise to 40 and a fresh slate of runes will be waiting to be found. And the Gnomeregon raid will be the end-game content for level 40 characters. If you are of the PvP persuasion, Stranglethorn Vale will once again be the most dangerous place to take a casual walk in Azeroth! Side quests: On being bad at video games, SoD, and HC Self-found mode •I am not very good at video games. Have played games for decades. Now I find myself still alone at a desk playing games, but there are potentially millions of other players running by and "watching". Not quite as alone as before. •Because of not wanting to either actively compete or passively be judged, I work to play alone. In SoD, I am trying to be self-reliant by creating more characters that can help outfit and supply the first character. That becomes the game within the game. •Self-Found mode is interesting to me. It is how I tend to play, although HSF takes away the support of alt characters. SF has my interest piqued. Popping in to a tavern or inn for a local drink: I don't think the Night Elves are big drinkers, but if you head to the Silver Feather, the inn at Bel'ameth, you can grab an Azure Leywine that refresh, but still leave you clear-headed to help get the city set up. Today I Learned: You can accept all of those pesky weekly quests from the Adventure Guide (Shift-J, second tab after Traveler's Log). Main topic: What do we want from these video games? Reviews of Bel’Ameth and Reclamation of Gilneas. What the addition of these two capital cities might mean. •Talk through the Bel'Ameth experience. Difficult to find the quest. What and who is in the new zone. This is the capital city, but might it serve as a new star...
