Episode #494: December Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
- What is the advantage of even adding a second legendary versus just improving the baseline Covenant abilities?
- If the WoW devs gifted you each with the ability to create your own expansion with full creative control, what would it be? I'm talking story, setting, NPC's focused on, systems, raids, dungeons, music, the whole shebang. What is your dream dot zero scenario?
- At what age will Jason's twins start playing wow? My kids started around kindergarten/first grade, but when they learned to read I made a rule that they had to read the quest text. What special rules will Jason make for his kidlets? How long before they will be raid ready?
- Question for the show, what is your favorite zone that wasn't in vanilla?
- Are looking forward to the new tier sets and would you sport them?

Episode #490: November Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- What about 9.2 are you most looking forward to?
- Pursuant of the conversation about the gap in access to the raid bosses, what do the two of you think of this design idea, and if you were going to use a split raid or some other raid change to help lessen the long tail of an expansion, how would you design it in broad terms?
- Do you think 9.2 will have an impact on the player numbers? From my friends list some people are giving SL a second shot but I am not sure if that's an overall trend.
- What two legendaries were you hoping to wear and what would it have opened up gameplay wise for you?
- Away from 9.2, with a lot of talk around how the end of Shadowlands will 'close a chapter of WoW' do you think that the next expansion will finally bring cross-faction end game content (raiding etc.) or indeed will there even still be an alliance and a horde come next expansion?

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!
On this special episode, Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas discuss the upcoming 9.2 content release with Morgan Day!
Episode #488: Talking 9.2 with Morgan Day! is ready for Download!
The foundation of the questions we asked Morgan
- New Zone: Zereth Mortis
How did working through the pandemic affect the plan for Shadowlands and getting a new zone added to each patch?
This seems like a natural place for Shadowlands’ story to resolve, but what went into actually getting it there?
What is the plan for Legendary crafting in 9.2? We know we get the new materials from Zereth Mortis. How do we get them and about how long after patch would you expect players to have their first top-rank Legendary?
Will we still need Rank 4 or Rank 6 base items to get started ?
Will we still need Soul Ash/Soul Cinders to craft a new Legendary from scratch?
Will there be Conduit upgrade items via Zereth Mortis?
Are Conduits going up 2 more ranks, similar from S1 to S2?
What kind of catchup mechanics are being planned to get characters to baseline relevance with the Conduit system at the outset of 9.2?
- New Feature: Cypher of the First Ones
What can players expect from the Cypher in regards to progression?
Is it gated weekly, similar to Renown?
Is there player choice in which upgrades unlock when? Are unlocks account-wide to any degree?
How do we advance our progress at the Cypher? Are there specific tasks/quests, fill-the-bar style activities, lootable items similar to Archivist’s Codex, or something else entirely?
Are we “speccing out” the Cypher, so to speak, choosing certain upgrades/perks at the expense of others, or does every character eventually get the full slate of benefits?
- New Raid: Sepulcher of the First Ones
Can you talk a bit about the factors that went into the decision to time-gate the initial release?
Can players expect a big shift in gameplay or the zone when they return the week after defeating the Anduin encounter?
Are there plans for unlockable skips?
What about fast-travel points around the raid zone, like Hellfire Citadel had?
With tier pieces being available from other sources, is there an intent to put uniquely powerful items in the new raid?
We saw probably not enough of that in Castle Nathria and maybe a bit too much in Sanctum of Domination.
How is the team feeling about raid encounter length at the top end?
Should we expect more 12-15 minute marathons?
Did the team feel basing boss phase transitions on health, like on KT, was effective? It resulted in many teams having unwanted “hold dps” phases, is that something we might see in this raid?
Great vault loot restricted behind bosses killed?
- New Loot: Class Sets Return
Will the set bonuses be per class or per spec?
Are there unique effects in Raid/M+/PvP or a set pair of bonuses per set? How many total pieces of each set are there?
Is the goal with the class sets to shake up gameplay/rotations/priority or more to provide passive bonuses on top of what we’re already doing?
With set pieces dropping again, it would be nice to have tokens back. Has there been any thought about bringing Master Loot back?
- Shadowlands Season 3
Extrapolating high keystone versions of Tazavesh is a bit intimidating at the moment. Will we see changes to bring these dungeons in line with the rest of the pool?
Operation: Mechagon was pretty on par with the rest of BFA, the additions to Legion were pretty big outliers.
The Season 2 affix has been pretty fun, anything you can talk about regarding the plan for Season 3?
We haven’t seen anything in SL that affected dungeon routes the way Awakened did for example in BFA, is that a concept that might be revisited?
How is the team feeling about the way Mythic + Rating/Valor have worked out in Season 2?
Any notable updates coming in Season 3 or should we expect a similar path, just with 2 more dungeons in the pool?
We know there are Torghast updates coming and new layers. Will Torghast still be a source for 9.2 Legendary mats or is that being 100% shifted to Zereth Mortis?
Any updates to the Box of Many Things? What kind of new stuff will there be for Torghast players to chase?
How does the team feel about the Great Vault this expansion?
Any thoughts on adding some kind of duplicate logic to the system or a streak-protection/currency type of option?
Looking ahead, what were the lessons the team learned over the course of Shadowlands and how are they informing future design?

Episode #478: September Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- Could Blizzard craft a good survey to capture player feedback, do you think after a new patch is launched, a survey sent to the player base about what they did and didn't like in the previous patch would help inform the dev team better than the current system they have?
- Where do you think gearing from M+, PvP and Raid should be in 9.2 with the coming tier sets?
- How do you prioritize the opportunities presented by timewalking?
- Now that they are bringing back Mage Tower in some form for Legion Timewalking. I wonder if they could bring back the Challenge Modes for WoD and Mists Timewalking with some unique transmog?
- Where do you think I should look for a new raid team that fits my unique schedule?

Episode #473: August Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- What moment in World of Warcraft made you fall in love with the game, and if you were introducing someone to the story to catch their attention, what would you show them?
- With the changes coming in 9.1.5, it seems like some of the suggestions/recommendations that were made during beta of Shadowlands are actually now coming into the live game. Why do you think the dev team was so entrenched in their design and do you think this same decision would have been made had we not been in 9.0 for so long?
- Is there anything the player base/community could do differently in the future to make their points better on these type of design ideas, because it seems to me this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened in the past few expansions?
- I think all the announced changes for 9.1.5 are great, especially doing away with conduit energy, and making covenant swapping easy.
- Do you think these changes are related to the sexual harassment lawsuit?
- Perhaps the people who were toxic to their co-workers also designed toxic game systems?
- Or maybe it's simply a desperate attempt to entice players back after the mass exodus of players caused by the lawsuit?
- In season one we used to have to buy the conduit upgrade item and then go back to your Sanctum to use it, than come back to Ve'nari and buy another one and keep repeating that process. Can you just buy a bunch of them and go back to your Sanctum and use them one after another?
- Epic’s WoW Memoriam
