In our 98th episode, we are rejoined by our 4th Musketeer part-way through the show. We waste very little time and dive straight to business and talk about what we’ve been up to: Breja barely missed a GR35 on his own, Lanntonio has been gearing a barbarian, and Nevik derped like never before.
In this episode:
- We received a pair of emails from Aahz and Professor Funktropus. Listener participation has been absolutely amazing and is primarily why we do this show, so keep them coming! We WILL get to all the emails we receive, even if occasionally we have to push a few to the next episode. Send in your stories of RNGesus triumph to Show@ShatteredSoulstone.com!
- We received a huge amount of tweets from @Kherova, @the_own_zone, @gorgonzer, @deathpod, @Cybrwolf0, @HomeTownHero008, @Torrack1714, @EYedgar0111, @moody834, @Hawgeye_CTR, @shawno, @wingthequick, and @N3rdwards. Thank you for your tweets. Don’t forget that you, too, can send in your thoughts via social media outlets such as Facebook, Google+, and Twitter.
- Are you still engaged with Season 4? We inquired on Twitter as to whether or not season fatigue has set in for our listeners. Be sure to follow the show account, @ShatteredStone, on Twitter for future Questions of the Show.
- How has the meta shifted in season 4 when it comes to class representation on the leaderboards? Friend of the show, Monstrous, put together an infographic of pie-charts that illustrate the (drastic) shift from the previous seasons and current. We share some of our opinions on the shift but would love to hear from you! Send in your thoughts on the meta shift to Show@ShatteredSoulstone.com.
- Rejoice! The Hellfire Amulet exploit has been fixed with a hotfix and a minor patch that addressed a few other minor issues. Even better, Blizzard was able to identify those that abused the exploit and action their accounts.
