Convert to Raid: The podcast for raiders in the World of Warcraft!

In a very special episode of CtR, the guys are gearing up for Blizzcon 2013! In preparation, they take a look back at the last Blizzcon and see if Mists of Pandaria lived up to the expectations from the presentations of Chris Metzen, Scott Mercer, Cory Stockton, Mike Morhaime and other developers back in 2011. And then they turn to look to the future, guided in part by predictions from our listeners! Plus, LFR nerfs, addon issues, Connected Realms and missing characters, and a whole bunch of fun!

This week, the guys get weirder than ever before, so prepare yourself! Item scaling may be the next big feature released by Blizzard, and you can find out how it was done. Armory stats for Mists of Pandaria are out, and the boys discuss how recent changes may have had some impact with the players. Plus, Dairies has a new team, Koltrane is back on the spicy water, and Zhug has issues with movie quotes... and Zhug and Kolt get uncomfortably weird in the War Room when they have to do the bit LIVE. Prepare yourself as we dive into the Siege of Orgrimmar!

The guys are back with another fun show full of the latest news and views in WoW! Blizzard puts one WoW expansion rumor to rest and clears up exactly what they'll be doing at Blizzcon. Players are trying to min/max flex raids, but are they just overthinking the whole thing? Guild Ox claims that every Mage spec is good, but how's popularity for other specs? And we'll get to your questions as well, especially one on the Legendary LOOT! Plus, Koltrane drinks spicy water, Dairies wipes on a homerun, and Zhug clearly doesn't get how to write a show.

The guys get together again for a very fun show! They take a look at this week's developer interview, especially flex raiding, the Timeless Isle, anmd discuss what Blizzard may need to do to make sure that both melee and ranged classes get the most out of raid encounters. Also, healers are to be blamed for input lag, and the developers have responded. How will those changes affect the game play of healers across World of Warcarft? Also, the guys take a look at how their characters became their raiding mains, Kolt goes ga-ga for flex, Zhug's bags are full, and Dairies believes Azeroth is going to run out of ocean soon!

This week, Affinitii from Blood Legion joins the gang (in his robe) to talk all about the race to world first. Not only does he give his thoughts on the Siege of Orgrimmar, but his opinions on healer balance, the differences of the race between the East and the West, and more. The guys will give you the latest changes to LFR and give a great idea to Blizzard on how to make it better for everyone. Plus, find out what's in your Virtual Ticket goodie bag, check out the details on the Warcraft movie, and perhaps ponder this question: why would anyone think of doing Flex Raid progression? All of that and a ton of fun in another great show!

This week the guys are back at it again and talking raiding and more! Garrosh is on the run as the top teams in the world try for the world first. Is LFR headed for a major nerf, or do we just need more time? And loot seems to be dropping more now than ever before! And the guys discuss the new connected realm feature, a new trademark from New Zealand and get to a few listener questions along the way! Plus Zhug has a twin, Dairies shares tales of his favorite fruit, and Koltrane gets beat up by a kung fu pigeon! All this and updates on our website and our party at Blizzcon, and much more in another BIG BIG show!

Zhug and Dairies welcome Jules Scott from Tauren Think Tank back to the show, and they have a LOT to talk about. The race to world first is underway, and the pacing is fast! The first wing of LFR is now open, and do players need an adjustment on expectations for Flex? Are 5 man dungeons no longer needed, or does Blizzard need to change up their thinking on what raiders really want? And are the Legendary cloaks too powerful to ignore? We'll attempt to answer those questions, plus: Dairies goes 13 of 28 in SoO, Jules loves her mushrooms, and Zhug works it on the mailbox for repair money, and much more!

The guys are back after patch 5.4 landed on Azeroth, and they have a TON to talk about! Get their impressions of Timeless Isle, find out some of the problems of Proving Grounds, and the PEOPLE'S LEGENDARY gets passed out all across the World of Warcraft. We'll take a look at your opinions from last show's topics and we take a deeper look into the Siege of Orgrimmar and how Normals compare with Flex Raids. Blizzcon tickets go on sale, rep gains still suck, and we'll waste some time in Leading the Raid. Koltrane is NOT bitter about this week's release, Dairies LOVES the entrance to SoO, and Zhug HATES his legendary proc. Lots of laughs and great information on this week's show... get ready!

The CtR boys are back the week before patch 5.4, and they'll try to get you ready for it! They'll have reactions to the LFR and Flex raid schedule releases that leads into a larger discussion that stems from comments on the forums. Also, a lot of fansites have stepped up their game for patch 5.4, and you'll get the lowdown! The War Room will wrap up the rest of the Throne of Thunder raid in a flurry of action to get to Lei Shen. Zhug and Dairies talk some PAX, Koltrane won't get funky with his monk, and there's TONS of fun as they wrap up all of their summer fun and ready us all for Garrosh!

This week, the guys are back in action to get you prepared for patch 5.4. Inside, they talk about the release date for the Siege of Orgrmmar, a likely item squish for the next expansion, character model reworks, the end of the WoW TCG, and an incredible interview with World of Warcraft's Lead Encounter Designer, Ion Hazzikostas! Dairies and Zhug ask about flex raiding, valor and gear in 5.4, proving grounds, the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, and more. Plus, we get to your questions! It's another fun show for your brain case!
