Brian's Song

North, Hunk, Cleavis, Tokens, Warriors, SoM2, this episode has it all! The discussion surrounding the token warranted a bit more exploration and so here's another two hours on it on top of the two you got last week (*obsessed much?*). Listen in to the blossoming bromance that is North and Hunk (Horth? Nunk?) as the guys zero in on the token, what is pay to win in 2023 and the dream that is an instance-less BRD. After that, Cleavis joins the show to provide more dulcet tones from north of the border, chatting Blizzcon, the token, Wrath, the community council, and what could potentially be done, if anything, to Warriors in SoM2.

Countdown To Classic

John Staats

Speaking with someone who was a part of the team that made the game that is the subject of this podcast has been a lofty goal of Josh's ever since beginning this journey with you all. Listen in as Josh sits down for a very special, lengthy, chat with vanilla World of Warcraft's original 3D Level Designer, and architect of many of the caves, dungeons and raids that you've spent hundreds of hours in, John Staats. John has written a book, titled 'The World of Warcraft Diary: A Journal In Computer Game Development' (which will have a Kickstarter campaign starting on August 28).  John was kind enough to send me a preview of the first 100 pages of the book and I can easily say it's something that I will be recommending getting behind wholeheartedly as an excellent 'in the room' account of the making of World of Warcraft. This is an exceptionally long interview.  John was too kind in affording me 3 1/2 hours of his time over two back to back days.  Whilst you may rightfully balk at this run time, I can assure you every minute of this chat had me on the edge of my seat and unveiled a bunch of things that we simply never knew about the development of World of Warcraft.

Episode #84 - Warriors, Content Creators, Dishonourable Kills + Memory Lane

Countdown To Classic brings you another loooooong chat about vanilla World of Warcraft with friends of the show, Defcamp &amp; Melderon. Listen in as the brothers break down everything and anything about healing in general in vanilla WoW, as Josh pokes and prods with a million questions during a near 3 hour chat. The healing chat starts up around the 30 minute mark but I highly encourage you to listen to the introductions to the boys before that for a bit of a laugh and to get to a bit more about them before getting to the nitty gritty. Highlights Below:  In Depth Interview - 3:15 Healing Chat - 29:50 Anger Management - 2:29:55 The Hot Seat - 2:31:55 Shout Outs - 2:46:20  Defcamp &amp; Melderon TV @ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGm8RmKIW0EF1RfmNFVr2-Q Defcamp &amp; Melderon @ Twitter - https://twitter.com/def_meltv Defcamp @ Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/defcamp Pick up awesome Countdown To Classic show rewards @ Patreon: patreon.com/countdowntoclassic Or support the show with a tip @ Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/Y8Y3D2TT Or simply show your support by leaving the show a review at iTunes or by telling a friend!

Episode #69 - Everything Shamans With Melderon & Orcbit + John Staats On WoW Diary Success

It's Interview Week over at Countdown To Classic HQ as we start the week off with the first of three in depth interviews, supplemented with a mini interview afterwards. Today, we go over a bit of blanket coverage of Mages in vanilla World of Warcraft as hardcore raider North stops by to discuss everything and anything in relation to our frost/fire/arcane spell slinging friends. After that, Josh takes a 'shorter' call (being less than an hour....just) from listener Deathlace, who talked Smite Priests, theorycrafting, arcane mages, and eventually unveiled himself as a game dev/designer for a well known title (which shall remain nameless!) and finished off by briefly discussing game design &amp; itemisation in vanilla WoW.

Episode #118 - The Countdown To Classic

The beta rolls on and brings with it a couple of fresh talking points for the show and its listeners to tackle this week with Josh. Warsong Gulch has been open for a couple of weeks now in the beta and Arathi Basin just opened days ago, and with those come the bloodthirsty PvP testers looking to see how things perform on the battlegrounds. After that we break down stream sniping, after some comments made by streamer Sodapoppin ignited the forums this past week on the issue. Then, we welcome back vanilla WoW level designer John Staats, for the first of a lengthy ongoing segment all about the design of vanilla WoW's instances.  Listen in to part one of this series, as John tells us all about how he built one of the most beloved dungeons in MMORPG history, Blackrock Depths. The show then rounds out with a great call with a sitting member of the state of Maine's House of Representatives, about that one time that WoW got caught up in politics, and also a follow up call from last week, for a slightly different angle on the Trollgodx issue at the dueling tournament.

The beta rolls on and brings with it a couple of fresh talking points for the show and its listeners to tackle this week with Josh. Warsong Gulch has been open for a couple of weeks now in the beta and Arathi Basin just opened days ago, and with those come the bloodthirsty PvP testers looking to see how things perform on the battlegrounds. After that we break down stream sniping, after some comments made by streamer Sodapoppin ignited the forums this past week on the issue. Then, we welcome back vanilla WoW level designer John Staats, for the first of a lengthy ongoing segment all about the design of vanilla WoW's instances.  Listen in to part one of this series, as John tells us all about how he built one of the most beloved dungeons in MMORPG history, Blackrock Depths.

Episode #108 - The Making of BRD, Stream Sniping, WSG + AB in the beta, WoW + Politics, & Trollgodx Part Two

Kevin Jordan

Less than two weeks to go. So much to talk about.  So little time. Countdown is back with even more classy talk this week, as we cover the pros and cons of Warlocks &amp; Rogues.  We also break down the server list, whether or not #nochanges can go too far, Kevin Jordan stops by again to give his take on some of the latest news, and speed levelling legend Joana returns to discuss the Race To 60 along with fellow speed leveller Alenya. And finally, the show gets about as classy as it will ever get in discussing the practicality of using adult diapers during speed runs.  And it's about damn time.

Episode #41 - WoW Econ 101 (Part Two) With Partypooper – Making & Growing Your Fortune In WoW

It's a Triple P kind of day over at Countdown To Classic as we discuss Paladins, Podcasting, and Playing Roles (that's kind of cheating, I know). Listen as as three very experienced and knowledgeable players, Theloras, Smiter, and Sonosuke, talk listeners through the minutiae of Paladin PvE across all three specs, in what was a very extensive and enjoyable chat. After that we hear from a group of passionate RP-PvP'ers who want their voices heard all the way in Irvine, CA about why Blizzard should reconsider their position on not having RP-PVP servers at launch. And, finally, the show is lucky enough to welcome some WoW Podcasting royalty in Star Mike (World of Warcast) &amp; Rho (Realm Maintenance), along with two newcomers to the podcasting game in Allen &amp; Anthony (The Classic Casual), to discuss the history and fun of podcasting about World of Warcraft.
