I haven't yet gotten to listen to the whole podcast, stopped at keg brawl because I was done mowing the yard, but I have two comments.
1. You guys mentioned the legendary weps in passing at the beginning and Freelancer said that the mat requirements are huge. I thought I would share my findings about the weapons. At a merchant next to the mystic forge in WvW I found something interesting. You can buy an orb that says it's required to make legendary weps in the mystic forge for.. guess what.. 200 SKILL POINTS! At the same vender I could buy blueprints for various recipes requiring crafting skills to be 400. Each item said it was required to make certain legendary weps (had a list of which ones in the tooltip). They were objects like statues, including a unicorn statue.
2. The finale event cheat/glitch with transforming did indeed restore you to human form and without the hunger debuff. HOWEVER, what it didn't do was restore you status to the team you were on. I was on blue team on my server and we lost horribly. Our player count was 0 when I found out the glitch using a tonic. Even though I was human again, the blue team numbers didn't increase to 1.
We talked a little bit about the skill point thing in Episode 40 (Legendary). Although at the time, our information was from BWE #2, when the Orb of Power (renamed to something new now I think) was only 100 skill points.
What happened to the How to series? I was really looking forward to them.
Next one is in development. Needed some footage from BWE 3 before I could finish it.
