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?

Episode #468: July Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- Discussion about the ActiBlizz lawsuit and things that need to change in the industry.
- Which mount did you really want to get in shadowlands and does fit your character/class fantasy?
- Has flying made you appreciate any 9.0 zones more?
- Where do you see things going after shadowlands once we get back to Azeroth?
- Could you do your what you got up to segment tonight?
- Do you guys think that they did enough to keep the player base interested with 9.1 for a minimum 5-6 months or is shadowlands in a death spiral already?
- Is it just expected that at high Heroic and Mythic level raiding that you're going to constantly be moving guilds?
- What sort of loyalty, if any, do you feel towards the guild you're in, while raiding, and do they feel loyalty to you?
