I like speedy Tuesday maintenance as much as anybody, but I am starting to get paranoid.

In this week's Tavern Watch Podcast, we dig into the disaster of Diamond Comic Distributors, which filed for bankruptcy in January and is now trying to claim books in its inventory are its property, to be sold to pay off creditors.

Pandaria is beautiful, but it’s also where everybody makes their worst decisions. From the bodyguards who locked Anduin in a cabin on a sinking ship to keep him safe to, well, all of us, crash landing in a new place and immediately wrecking the joint. And that’s not even mentioning Garrosh, the one we should have locked in a cabin on a sinking ship at the beginning of the expansion, then instead of spending an expansion grudgingly completing his quests (we want to level up, and there isn’t exactly an opt out button) we could have gone and chilled out on Sunsong Ranch, found a beach to relax on, or honed or dragon racing skills (an early taste of what was to come!).

I’m still heading back to Pandaria, but I do have a few regrets.

But for now, let’s Queue.

I feel like I'm pushing my luck by announcing short maintenance for three weeks in a row — particularly since Mists of Pandaria Classic just launched last night, and was having some server stability issues.

This week we continue our adventure of Daggerheart, as our crew becomes the first to enter the towering spire that is the Motherboard.

It’s Wednesday, and frogs don’t need any more reason than that. Let’s Queue.

I'm trying not to curse today's maintenance, but I have to call it like I see it: an hour-long Tuesday maintenance for all WoW servers is a quick maintenance.

This week we continue our adventure of Daggerheart, as our crew walks away from the settlement surrounding the Motherboard and into a not entirely unexpected ambush.

While Blizzard's posts about Player Housing remain purposefully vague — the feature is still in active development and details may change — the latest update offers a juicy look at how players will create neighborhoods and the Endeavors (events) that happen there.

WoW patch 11.2 arrives on August 5, sending us off to the ruined world of K'aresh — which we just got a fresh lore dump on in a new short story about Locus-Walker — and eventually into Manaforge Omega to confront Dimensius.
