Sparks and Recreation

Meandering about the Mediterranean, the crew continues its conversation with sails now set for glory in Meridian Ascension! All this analysis is hard work, so the S.S. Sparks & Rec docks briefly – only to return to sea and discover that new Bard and Necromancer ancestries have been released unto Thandar. After a quick live reaction, the crew dives into a longer discussion about how the community balance script used in these events might change ahead of the upcoming season. Closing out the show are the Community Roundup and Taps and Scraps. Thanks for listening!

The S.S. Sparks & Rec has sailed across three continents to assemble its crew for Episode 107, as DblDubz, Tuff, and Filtrophobe welcome Scorium for his podcast debut. The conversation begins with WWYD, then takes a wonderfully winding detour through Scorium’s story (and most of Seville, Spain) before the crew gets down and dirty with the Echoes of Valor data.
What began as a routine voyage became a three-hour tour, so we had to slice this episode in twain! Part 2 will follow shortly. Thanks for listening!

For this episode of Sparks & Rec, the crew of Dubz and Tuff have come to port to collect their mail! And what should they find but four months of WWG Player Summaries? Digging into the numbers in search of buried treasure, they discuss their most-purchased cards, favored factions, and more. Tuff even declares one card a glorious gem above all others – the best card in the game!

Then, the crew heads to the most magnificent castle in all of Thandar, where sits the royalty of Realms Rising. But after years of battle, the castle has seen better days. Donning medieval hard hats, Dubz and Tuff discuss how the King of the Castle community event could be modernized for today’s level cap and expanded selection of classes and races. Be sure to tune in and comment on discord so we can work together to reboot and revitalize the event!

All that and more, thanks for listening!

The SS Sparks & Recreation dives into the dark depths of the Dungeons as DblDubz, Tuff, and Filtrophobe discuss all things level 20 for the game’s newest six classes. With a focus on treasures, character points, and ancestries, the crew takes a complete look at the landscape surrounding the new level cap.

Australian all-star Aarkenell also submitted a point-ranking system, presented by Tuff as a reference for comparing card power levels. Originally inspired by Aarkenell’s own Lua machinations, he turned the system toward the level 20 treasures, providing an interesting new angle for discussion on the pod.

All that and more on the latest episode of Sparks & Rec. Thanks for listening!

For episode 104, the crew of DblDubz, Tuff, and Filtrophobe rallies aboard the SS Sparks & Recreation to break down the bounty of treasures introduced with the retail release of Level 20 AND what this means for the game’s original five classes.

With the wind at their backs, the crew then docks at Thandar’s rowdiest bar to take a gander at the Tavern Brawl teams assembled there to compete for glory and riches!

Finally, they chart a course through the community round-up before closing things out with some taps and scraps. Thanks for listening!
