TWW Login Screen

-Not implemented in the beta yet, but we know what the screen looks like:

-Picture a small section of the wall of a titan facility

-There is a circle in the center with a wide-ish border running aroound it.

-The inner section of this circle is cracking and golden light is shining through the cracks.

-It's similar to TWW logo except the runes around the edge of the border are not there and the border is thicker. There's sort of ish but not really that weird S symbol everyone drew on their trapper keepers in middle school instead.

-Some find it underwhelming. Some are actually mad for some stupid reason. It's a login screen, why do you care so much?

-I like it in its simplicity, to be quite honest.

M+ Affixes

-Reducing number of mechanical affixes from two to one

-Sanguine, Blostering, Raging, and Bursting are retired for TWW

-"Xalatath's Bargain" is a set of affixes coming from Xally herself

--For example: Xalatath's Bargain: Ascendant: "While in combat, xal'atath rains down orbs of cosmic energy that attempt to empower nearby enemies, increasing their haste and movement speed. If players disrupt these orbs, they claim this effect for themselves."

--For example: Xal'atath's Bargain: Frenzied: Non-boss enemies become frenzied at 30% health remaining, increasing their Haste by 40%, but increasing their damage taken by 20%.

-7 and higher: Challenger's Peril; 15 seconds gone from clock rather than 5 for player death

12 and higher: "Xalatath's Guile: Bargain affixes are "revoked" and health and damage of enemies is increased by 20%.

-Fortified and Tyrannical alternate between +4 and +10 weekly.

-blizz still reveiwing how to generate dungeon scores with this change.

-I can't pretend to really understand what this all means as I've not done a ton of M+ since Legion tbh

-all on beta still, as always subject to change

July Trading Post

-Preview from Blizz, as with every month

-Seems the rewards are sea and/or ocean-themed for July

-Fill-the-bar reward is a baby naga named Trishi (considering Naga are a sentient race and this pet can be battled, that's pretty fucked up lmfao, let's send a literal child into battle)

-Things like Underlight Corrupted Behemoth (same style fish mount as that fancy flying fish thing that came into the game relatively recently. Cool look, but won't be able to do dynamic flying), Blub, a fishy pet in a bubble. Even a copper diver's suit transmog.

-As always we don't see ALL the rewards just yet, but this is being recorded on the 30th of June soooooo

TeaBag Time

A DM to Gershom: "I was listening to you command the TB podcast and snow blowing my driveway in this big storm. Thought you were doing great when I came around the corner and saw six trees down in our drive. Cleared now, but haven’t finished the show yet. But you were killing it!"

If you have any feedback you want to give us, feel free! The best ways to are either email ([email protected]), the Spotify Q&A, iTunes reviews, or, yes, DMs at any of our socials, which we'll read out at the end of the show. You can also go to ThrallsBalls.com where we have a link to submit feedback anonymously. You could alternatively join the Discord server from the website, where we have a separate channel for reviews.

Put out a sneaky poll asking if we should force Flerpy to release the video of him allegedly doing bad karaoke. The vote favored the notion of letting the wheel decide...so...the wheel will now DECIDE:

Mixed Drink of the Week (Woolly: Dracthyr)

-Dr Pepper

-1 shot of the following mixture:

--equal parts blue curacao (for it is blue), gold tequila (for it makes time disappear), black rum (for it wards the black earth), Mountain Dew (for it is green and nature's dew), and Fireball (for it is Alextrasza's lifegiving flame).

That's it

Next week: Bentolas (Worgen)
