Could be Better
Before I even start to criticize, I'd first like to thank the guys at The Instance for everything that they have done thus far. I think they have a ton of potential and every show exemplifies how great this podcast could become. That being said, for the content that is offered up in the 30-40 minute runtime, the shows on average are weak. I'm not trying to sound elitist by any means, but most of what is talked about is common knowledge in the WoW community. The hosts have stated that they might be talking about a few things that many people already know and that the show is targeted the entire WoW gaming community, but either the content that I have downloaded is either purged of useful info or it hasn't been implimented yet. A big issue is the idea of having supposed spokesmen for classes or professions sharing tips and tactics who, to any experienced player, are apparently chosen at random. In the 12 shows that have been produced as of today, I have learned only one really solid tactic. But that might be on purpose, I suppose.... Unfortunately, the show's overall course of discussion seems to be more in line with an audiobook of typical internet forum discussions (while editing out the garbage posts) or perhaps the everday geek gathering, which I say not with disgust since I am a geek myself, rather than anything that would add anything significantly different to the community. The best suggestion I can give the fellas that put this Podcast together is to either give us some solid info that isn't stickied in the forums, more significant in-game news (the opening of "Anthill" was very well reported as was the guild holding their server for ransom and part of Show #12's expose on the macro perephrials, but that was smothered in fluff after a while) or perhaps some interviews that truly display expertise. Anything else that would add some, dare I say it, professionalism to the show that would in turn generate some serious respect from the more veteran players. I will be listening in every week and I hope things do get better.Read full review »
