Episode 46: Norman's Night In: The Cave (Part Deux) https://www.buzzsprout.com/143519/1247648 Nick and Marcus are joined by Nick Iorfino from Bactrian Games, the creators Norman's Night In: The Cave! Mr. Iorfino talks about what it's like to develop WCN's favorite game from Pax East, and the hosts also breakdown SWTOR's changes in game update 5.10.3 Spoils of War. WoW See Game Notes SWTOR The new hotness in SWTOR this month is The Pirate Incursion event on the new planet of Dantooine. That, together with double xp week, has been a prime time for leveling, rep grinding, and grinding just about any other rank or number you'd like to raise. The heroic quests were challenging enough to require groups, so guild groups and community pugs abounded. There are a number of achievements associated with stuff on Dantooine as well. The planet will be available for exploration and possibly even resource gathering after the event is over, but we don't know exactly what that will look like until next week. Some of those achievements may be doable then, or may require the event to be in progress. We shall see! After this week, the pirate event will go in rotation with all the existing events. In guild news, the June MEGA was a pvp night hosted by Marcus and coached by guildie Medullah. Medullah explained the pvp maps and gave insights into what to look for, when to use abilities, and lots of other good info. We used SWTOR's feature that allows us to have our own instance of a warzone to duke it out between two teams of guildies. We even had a small cheering section. We closed the night with a tour of guildie Liberty's Stronghold which was really incredible to see. Marcus wants to make Stronghold viewing a staple of MEGA, so if you'd like your Stronghold to be featured, just let him know. MFN continues on Tuesday nights, starting at 9PM Eastern. This week we ran around on Dantooine and did some grouping up for the heroics. In ops news after 6 months of working on Dread Fortress Hard Mode Deathstar Troopers we finally killed Brontes. Also, SUP has cleared five ops and counting, and apparently they’re having more fun than MarcusB.
