Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!
Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the June Patron Q&A!
Episode #339: July Patron Q&A! is ready for Download! What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- What are your thoughts on a soft level cap for expansions? For example in BFA level cap of 115 until patch 8.2 and then 120 until end of expansion. Do you think this would help with some of the problems of over gearing or at least allowing them more wiggle room for how it scales up.
- How do you guys see how the development of the game's infrastructure/tools so to speak influences community and in turn raid/guild commitment?
- What do you guys think about merging the factions?
- I managed to finally get a ticket to blizzcon this year and it will be the first time I’ve ever been to a con of any sort or even out of Canada on my own. What advice do you have for a terrified first timer con goes?
- What do you both think about the pacing of Essence unlocks?
- What's your current neck level and when do you anticipate hitting 65?
- Jason, do you think you will have AOTC before all level 3 essences?
- Spencer, do you think you will have Cutting Edge before all level 3's?
- What percentage of the WoW player base do you think engages in WoW adjacent media? Podcasts/Twitch/Youtube etc.
- How do you think the atmosphere around the game would change if more people were involved in the discussion surrounding the game?
- Do you think the choice Horde has to make between Sylvannas and Thrall could have been blizzard putting out a survey for possibly changing the alliance horde dynamic in the game in future expansions?
- What do you guys do to get into the zone for progression raiding? Any rituals or habits you find yourself doing before/during the fights?
- Now that you've got to really sink your teeth into the essence system how are you finding it? Favorite/least favorite parts? Do you think something like this will continue post-BFA or will we likely see another system introduced?

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!
Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the June Patron Q&A!
Episode #334: June Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- How do we feel about the body guard system?
- What’s our view on recruitment vetting for heroic raiding?
- What was our favourite boss from BoDA?
- What’s your most anticipated boss from the Azshara raid?
- What are our thoughts on the Baine scenario?
- Where are we going after this?
- Do you think Sylvannas becomes a raid encounter?
- What is your favorite zone in WoW? Mine would be Nagrand. Fond memories of idly skinning my way through critters while talking in guild chat. Lovely zone. BC Nagrand, to be specific.
- What do you think is the most outlandish/time intensive thing you wish you'd done prior to the patch that you didn't get to?
- So I'm barely into Nazjatar right now -- don't even have a follower to level 3 -- but at this point I've gotten two pieces of benthic gear that I've been able to upgrade to 410. Any impressions / opinions about how that gearing system is/isn't delivering for people?
- I want Vulpera as an allied race more than I want world peace, but I have a weird feeling that we're going to get Gilgoblins.
- I would really like to know how many hours per week you guys play WoW. It seems like it is a lot more than I do. But I am curious.

- I know we talked about it before but if you could build the ultimate raid for the 15th anniversary what 8 bosses would you choose? They could come from any raid or dungeon from the party 15 years.
- As the classes are in Classic, what specializations do you think are missing iconic spells that weren't added until later in the game?
- Are there any junk items that hold sentimental value for you guys which you allow to take up precious bag and bank space, which you always scan over and never get rid of. If so, what are they…and why do you keep them?

Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the March Patron Q&A!
Episode #317: March Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- If they were going to make another warcraft movie starring your main character then what actor should play you?
- Do y'all think we will get another new zone after nazjatar ala argus after the broken isles or just nazjatar?
- We heard a couple weeks ago about some of Spencer’s early infamy with TSZ. Can you share something interesting or amusing from before you were a co-host?
- If WoW ever went away from the trinity of heal/tank/DPS, what current DPS spec do you think you’d play?
- I got back into WoW something like 2 month ago after being absent for about 5 to 6 years with the occasional I play a month whenever a new expansion hits. My main reason for coming back was a colleague of mine who wanted somebody to play the game with because he only started playing wow as a new player back in august and leveled up to 120 starting from 1 and without boost. One of our main problems that we keep running into is that I just use the weird WoW slang that we all do like HOT, DOT, BOE and so on. Since he never played a similar game before he lacks those terms which keeps being problem whenever I explain a new strat at an encounter. Do you guys know some good resource to read or watch to get a basic terminology down? And also how would you try to get really new people without a ton of experience into PvE?
- Instead of a heart of azeroth, what do you guys think each class would have as special power item? IE shamans would have "artifact" totems, hunters would have "artifact" pets. Your opinions on this idea and what other special items you think would fit the theory crafting.
- With us getting to the end of this tier, what did you think of it?
- Any tips for Mythic Mekkatorque?
- What’s your prefered gaming chairs and headsets?
