Episode 7 – Winter Event Update

This week we talk more about the Winter Event. We had intended to do Ouroboros coverage, but haven’t had much time to *ahem* research, and what little time we’ve had in game has been spent playing with features of the Winter event.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Candy cane salvage and pricing for various temp powers
  • Ski Slope tips
  • Ski Slope Bug
  • Quickie Father Time mission tips

    Gifted – for logging in during the 2007 Winter event
    Frozen Fury – Defeat the Winter Lord GM
    Cold Warrior – Defeat 100 Frostlings
    Toy Collector – Receive 200 presents on the streets
    Trucker – Located on the floating truck outside of the Pocket D windows
    Received during the Father Time mission:
    Crystalized – Complete the mission
    Miraculous – Choosing the Renewal of light temp power reward
    Joyful – Choosing the Golden Rings temp power reward
    Frosty – Choosing the Furry Boots temp power reward
    Toothbreaker – Complete the mission 5 times
    Three badges for skiing:
    Qualified – Bronze Medal for completing course in under 45 seconds

Episode 5 – News

… and just news. After editing we came to a couple of conclusions. 1) the podcast is too long – wait, we already knew that – but despite attempts, its even longer than the last one, lol.  2) there is too much news right now to keep the Factions discussion as well as news and a main topic.

In light of this, we are going to take a page out of The Command Line‘s playbook and split the podcast into two weekly episodes. At least for the foreseeable future. The first weekly episode (the one attached) will be all news – both about the game, and what’s going on with us. The second weekly episode will be a main topic.

The combined length will still be around an hour and all told will contain the same content, just in more digestible sizes. Also, people that only like one type of content or the other can ignore the files of the type they don’t like.

Let us know what you think!
