WoW Insider Show Episode 67: Rating the rep rewards

Dec 8th 2008 at 12:30PM
This past week on the WoW Insider Show, we were thrilled to welcome our friend Michael Zenke of Massively.com -- in addition to his experiences in Wrath so far, we talked with him about a few other MMOs WoW players might be interested in this holiday season. Matthew Rossi was also on, and he brought his terrific insight on Warriors, Death Knights, Shamans, and itemization for pretty much all of the classes in the new expansion. And we welcomed back our old friend Turpster to the show -- you didn't think he'd be gone for long, did you?It was a good time, so good in fact that we had trouble reeling ourselves in to finish in time. But we hit on all sorts of subjects, including a look at the reputations in Wrath and what their best rewards are (the Oracles' Mysterious Egg is great), and we even got a short chat in about whether there's still a tanking shortage or not (the good news: there mostly isn't). You can follow any or all of the links below to listen to the show in its entirety (and do subscribe in iTunes if you use that -- you'll get the show automatically every week).
We'll be back live next week as usual, 3:30pm Eastern on Ustream. In the meantime, if you have a comment, question, or tip for the show, send it along to theshow@wow.com, and you might hear us talking about it then. Enjoy this week's podcast!

Why have we not seen a quest tracker in the terms of the quests you've completed in a zone? Having to turn on 'low level quest' tracker and fly around a zone in hopes to complete that last quest in Howling Fjord, I'm at 104/105 at the moment and all through leveling to 80 I couldn't find one last quest. I was praying and searching for a mod that tracked the name and location of quests you've completed in a certain zone, and to no avail, found nothing.
A mod that even shows the location of all available quests in a zone and the number you may have completed out of the total zone amount would be a great help, not being able to find one last quest to complete the achievement is nerve racking.
Any comments would be great.

Nice to see WoW Insider will take liars on for their podcast's, so as long as Turpster is apart of the show i'm done as a listener hope your happy with him back and don't be surprised if he decides to lie to you guys to.

kololo : From what I understand the mighty T retired from wcradio.com claiming lack of time and needing to focus on studies, and then goes on to show up on the WI show anyway (keep in mind he has/had a wcradio show in the same timeslot)..
It did do some drama...
Put tinfoil hat on:bet that massivly made the T do it? ;)

Great show, good insight, but i have 1 critique.
Please (for the people who listen at work) adjust mic volumes to be close to the same. I have a hell of a time hearing what Mike says, and then get blasted by the guests... =/ Either i cant hear mike, or my ears bleed.

I'm happy for you guys got the T back, but I have stopped listening. Well I hope you guys (Mike Schramm and Turpster) are happy that you basically stabbed WC Radio in the back (the station that gave you your start).
And, go Duncor, who actually did the tech work on the shows while everyone else just read things off the WoW Insider posts.
Well good luck to you guys in your ventures, but I don't plan to listen to the podcast or comeback to this website as long as Mike is in control.
