Last Attempt: A World of Warcraft Guildcast

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is joined again by guildmate Templrivanho. We kick off with the World of Warcraft: Forever beta's third week — the level cap moving to 30, the new Darkspear Islands battleground, and the fog and point lighting that make the old world look better than it ever has, even on minimum settings. Then we dig into Blizzard's class deep dives, with Warriors billed as the kings of cleave and Rogues on top for single-target, plus a Gnome racial nerfed twice and Will of the Forsaken losing its immunity. From there we talk Tom Ellis leaving X after the name-ban fallout, and the raid logs showing about 88,000 TBC Anniversary raiders gone in a single week as Forever starts eating Classic, along with what a Classic "hall of fame" could look like. We also cover Holly Longdale's PAX Aus keynote, Patch 12.1.5 and the Kith'ix raid on October 13 with Labyrinths, Wrath of the Lich King Remix and the colossal figure towering over Wyrmrest Temple, the October Trading Post, armor types opening up for transmog in 12.2, and a Blizzard survey floating Death Knights, Tinkers, Battlemages, and Bards for Forever.

Topics:

• Forever Beta Week Three: Level 30 & Darkspear Islands

• Class Deep Dives: Warrior Cleave & Rogue Damage

• Tom Ellis Logs Off After the Name Bans

• Forever Is Eating Classic

• 12.1.5, Kith'ix & Wrath Remix

• Trading Post & New Forever Classes?

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is

joined again by guildmate Templrivanho, and we are happy to welcome our guest Konimi, one of the officers in Last Attempt, for their first time on the show. We open with a hands-on look at playing World of Warcraft: Forever on a controller — the radial menus, the dynamic interact button, healing your party off the d-pad, and pet radials for Hunters and Warlocks — then get into the beta's second week, with weather coming back to the world, a long list of class changes, and another round of realm restarts. From there we talk Asmongold's Olympus army marching through the beta, who Forever is really for and what retail could do better for brand-new players, and The Last Titan heading back to Northrend. We also cover a heavy class tuning week, the Venomous Abyss nerf wave and a Warrior soloing two bosses at once, Brewfest and Azshara's Abyssal Crown sets in the shop, Blizzard's official Forever podcast and another Collector's Edition sell-out, and Xbox's latest round of 268 cuts with Halo moving to Activision.

Topics:

• Playing Forever on a Gamepad

• Forever Beta Week Two: Weather & Restarts

• Olympus Marches Through the Beta

• Who Is Forever For?

• Tuning Week & the Venomous Abyss Nerfs

• Brewfest, Azshara & Xbox's Latest Cuts

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is

joined again by guildmate Templrivanho for our first live video cast, and our longest episode yet, all about World of Warcraft at BlizzCon 2026. Fresh back from the con, Squirrelthug shares stories from the show floor, from Darkmoon Faire lines the fire marshal kept shutting down to free tattoos and a D&D one-shot run by Blizzard developers. Then we dig into Midnight: Eclipse — the Mantle Vault, the Worldcore raid, and the first Legendary of the Worldsoul Saga — plus Astalor becoming the Season 3 Delve Nemesis, a dungeon pool the crowd booed, spec-based Mythic+ rewards, and Night Elf, Troll, and Forsaken Paladins. We also cover housing mannequins, the new Calibration Chamber, Talebound, a Wrath of the Lich King Remix on the roadmap, and a long stretch on World of Warcraft: Forever — Classic+ launching November 4 with no realms, last names, 10, 20, and 40-player raids, the Legacy System, hardcore characters that can transfer on death, campfires, opt-in transmog, and a flat GDKP ban.

Topics:

• BlizzCon 2026 From the Show Floor

• Midnight: Eclipse & the Worldcore Raid

• Season 3: Astalor & the Dungeon Pool

• Three New Paladin Races

• Talebound & the Road to The Last Titan

• WoW Forever: Classic+ Is Real

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is joined again by guildmate Templrivanho. Liquid closes out a grueling 17-day Race to World First on Mythic Ula'tek, the final numbers for the Roofus Pack charity pet are in, and Moleman's Delve Compendium lays out the speedrun guide for solo delves.

Finally, we break down Patch 12.1.5 hitting the PTR — featuring the single-boss Kith'ix raid, mega-delve Labyrinths, a 7 million gold vendor mount, gear catch-ups, and a datamined keybinding file that has everyone whispering "Classic+".

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is joined again by guildmate Templrivanho, back on the panel after a week away. We open on week one of the Venomous Abyss closing as the slowest opening tier since Liberation of Undermine — Method finishing the week ahead at 5/9 Mythic while Liquid spent five days on Heroic splits, Blizzard cutting Malacrass's phase three bonus health from 35% down to 19%, and Liquid picking up a lair world first on Nymrissa Wavecaller. We get into a genuinely rough week for crafting, where submitted work orders are vanishing and taking Sparks and Mythic Crests with them, with customer support confirming it's a bug and having no way to restore what you lost. Also the 113,411 players who earned Fabled Vanquisher in week one against roughly four thousand who made the cut last season, bonus roll lockouts going live days before the announced date with no warning at all, an intermission bug that bricks Coiled Altar if your raid does too much damage, the campaign finale and its Dawn's Radiance sword, rock climbing back on the Coiled Isle, and an Ulduar timewalking week worth running for the loot sharing alone. Plus J'imothy turning out to be in the game after all, SoulSoBreezy's housing blueprint challenge restricted to gold-bought decor so beginners can actually import them, and a long stretch on Xbox reportedly shopping a bulk Hollywood adaptation deal that includes a Warcraft series — alongside the $25 mailbox mount, the UK-only McDonald's bread backpack, and exactly why brown shorts ruin the Vibrant Petalweave sets.Topics:• Slowest Week One Since Undermine• Crafting Orders Eating Sparks and Crests• Bonus Rolls Locked Early, With No Warning• Xbox Pitching a Warcraft TV Series___If you're looking for a Mythic team going into Midnight Season 2, we'reactively recruiting all roles.

Last Attempt Guildcast — Method WORLD FIRST + Coiled Altar GUTTED + Evokers BROKEN + WoW News — 029

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is flying solo — Templrivanho couldn't make it this week, so this one is a shorter, looser run through the news, recorded Tuesday and landing a day late. We open on the Race to World First, where the Venomous Abyss has produced the longest race since Shadowlands and Method took their first world first in years on Vashnik the Malignant by working out that his red zone is the one you never touch. We get into the Coiled Altar hotfix that stripped roughly a hundred percentage points of hidden health off both bosses on every difficulty, a genuinely stacked week of free gearing between the campaign ring, uncapped Mistcrests off a single Cracked Keystone, and a three-week PvP chain for Hero-track jewelry — plus the Spark catch-up fix that shipped bugged for the second week running. Also the Prey questline's permanent portal to the Coiled Isle, Corrosive Souls being warbound and how to actually bank them, a rough week for Evokers who are disconnecting every few minutes off Battle Visage, a world quest that quietly wrecked people's turn speed, Jimothy turning out not to be in the game at all, and the BlizzCon 2026 Legends lineup with a McDonald's Happy Meal mount chaser.

Topics:

• Method's First World First in Years

• Coiled Altar Massively Nerfed

• Week One Gearing, and Another Spark Bug

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is joined again by guildmate Templrivanho. We dig into the community case that content Blizzard cut from Vanilla is turning up in Classic Plus — and why the slow mounts, long walks, and attunements everyone remembers might be the entire point rather than something to sand off. We also unpack a genuinely messy week for gearing, where a leftover Midnight: World Tour turn-in handed some characters a third Spark of Tides and Blizzard's fix was to give everybody four at the August 18 reset, the Season 2 tier lists landing right on top of two rounds of trinket hotfixes, and Mythic L'ura mounts being pulled off accounts for policy violations that appear to be catching players who paid in gold rather than real money. Plus the Tettles interview with the encounter designers, bonus rolls getting reshuffled and then quietly trimmed before they even unlock, the hidden Slitherfang pet the secret finders cracked, four new housing Endeavors — one of which drops a portal to the Coiled Isle in your neighborhood — and Blizzard closing FY26 as the top-performing studio in Xbox's division.

Topics:

• Vanilla's Cut Content in Classic Plus

• Mythic L'ura Mounts Revoked

• Spark Chaos & Week Zero Gearing

• Season 2 Tier Lists & Hotfixes

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug isjoined again by guildmate Templrivanho. We dig into Patch 12.1 stripping add-ons of direct access to Aura information — Blizzard's move to finally put computational add-ons to rest, already in motion with the hotfix that killed the automated Azta'rec Delve boss helpers. We also unpack the resurfaced Chris Metzen BlizzCon clip pointing the Worldsoul Saga back toward Northrend and Ulduar, China's enormous 21st anniversary celebration with BlizzCon Shanghai and a redirected Race to World First prize pool, and Xbox's rough Q4 earnings and what a "return to growth by FY27" promise means for Blizzard's corner of Microsoft. Plus the Venomous Abyss raid preview and its weekly power ramp, last call on Decor Duel rewards, and a new Twitch drop landing on launch day.Topics:• Add-Ons Lose Aura Access• Metzen's Northrend & Ulduar Tease• BlizzCon Shanghai & China's 21st• Xbox Q4 Earnings Fallout___If you're looking for a Mythic team going into Midnight Season 1, we'reactively recruiting all roles.

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is joined again by guildmate Templrivanho. We break down Patch 12.1 Curse of Ula'tek arriving August 11th, including how Great Vault and Mythic 0 loot work during pre-season week with the old bonus-roll trick officially dead, a preview of The Venomous Abyss raid's eight bosses and staggered unlock schedule, and the new instanced Lairs world boss system debuting with Tidebound Grotto.

Welcome to the Last Attempt Guildcast. In this episode, Squirrelthug is joined again by guildmate Templrivanho, and we’re happy to welcome guest-host Vel. We dig into one of the wildest WoW stories in recent memory — a Blizzard employee fired for using GM-only developer tools to help cheat a +23 Nexus-Point Xe’nas key — then cover Midnight Season 1 winding down and the achievements, mounts, and dungeon teleports about to expire, the mounting evidence pointing to Patch 12.1 and Season 2 landing August 11th, plus the live BlizzCon 2026 digital bundles, a fresh round of 12.1 PTR class tuning, and Jimothy the viral Seattle raccoon somehow making his way to Azeroth.

Topics:

• Blizzard Dev Fired for Cheating

• Midnight Season 1 Ending

• Patch 12.1 & Season 2 Aug 11

• Jimothy Comes to Azeroth
