Ren:
Mocktail of the Cast: Juniper and Tonic
Shoulder surgery on June 9; haven’t been able to do much in game since
Shoulder surgery turned out to be a little more involved than anticipated; spending 2 weeks in cast. Now have leave to spend small amounts of time out so I can type, but WoW doesn’t work
Playing turn based strategy games instead
Tried a multi button gaming mouse and the compact keypad and neither worked well
Figured out the art of mouse flying but fighting is nearly impossible
Finished home renovation projects
Only real post-patch activity is logging onto characters and resetting talents

Mike:
Tried to get in on Tuesday. Nope.

This Week in WoW:
Who knows -- it’s been damn near impossible to play
This week: Battleground Bonus Event - next week, Legion Dungeon Event

News:
CALL THE ORKIN MAN became OMG the bugs
Drivers
Some people reporting their drivers are fully up to date but Blizzard still flagging them for having un-updated drivers
Legion App:
Problems with only being able to access 3 characters
Only way to change characters: log completely out of the app, sign back in, and select the starting character you want
BlizzardCS confirmed in a tweet on 7/19: “Switch Character button was intentionally removed. You now switch characters by logging out, then logging in again. You'll be taken to the list of characters to select from at that point.”
Cue well deserved community shit fit. Now as of 3:30 PM EST, they are saying they are “working on a fix for this issue.”
Talents
Icy-Veins has already updated class guides and talent suggestions for prepatch
Communities
Disabled on some realms, in testing on others

8.0 Undocumented features

0:07.0	Let's go back to my ship and twist our nethers. others. World of Warkast episode number 291 I am Michael Gaines and I am one-armed
0:24.8	Wren. Hi Wren how are you? Well um actually not doing too badly I had my
0:31.4	shoulder surgery a week ago last Monday.
0:35.0	The surgery itself turned out to be a little more involved
0:40.0	that they had anticipated.
0:41.0	It actually went 40 minutes longer than they thought because it turned
0:44.7	out that in addition to the bone spur that I also was the bone spur was actually starting a tear in my rotator cuff.
0:53.6	Oh, yeah. Well, starting. So it wasn't bad?
0:57.7	It wasn't bad. And I only have to be in the sling for two weeks instead of six, which is what you get with a full blown
1:04.6	rotator care tear so I'm really glad we caught it early but the the shoulder surgery
1:12.2	is the major reason why we didn't record last week because I it was funny.
1:17.6	I contacted Mike and I said, I'm not sure I'm really mentally capable of doing this because I'm on some pretty
1:26.3	strong painkillers right now. He says I wasn't even planning to ask you to do this this week.
1:33.0	So it was just one of, it's the prepat, well it's before the prepatch.
1:36.4	By the way, about your rotator cubs, what do they do?
1:38.4	Do they shoot you with like some w-d40 and just like oil it up and you're okay? No. No, well they they I don't know what they did to the injury
1:46.2	they gave me a nerve block though and oh my God that's weird for 24 hours it did not feel like my arm. Yeah. It felt like somebody else's arm was attached to my body.
1:56.0	It was the strangest thing. But I would definitely recommend anybody getting shoulder surgery, get the nerve block. It really does help.
2:02.0	Because you that for that first
2:04.5	24 hours nerve block sounds like something that a mage would do it like the
2:08.4	frost spec either that or a monk oh yeah yeah you know that that's yeah right. It sounds like a monk strike or possibly you know something that the Vulcans would do. Well, yeah yeah, Vulcan nerve pinched. Yeah. So anyway, so I didn't mean to cut you off. Yeah, I said, um, I can't do the show today and I was like, well, I wasn't planning on doing a show today either because it's just like that end of the
