Episode #329: May Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!

• Spencer how are you min maxing AP? How did that work?
• Can you talk a bit about some of the friendships you developed in WoW?
• What are your plans for the summer?
• Where do we see WoW in 3 expansions?
• 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?

Episode #311: February Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!

• Turning on Warmode, how much honor I get from each kill, is there some sort of system for deciding how much honor you get?
• Is honorable kills the only way to get conqueror of azeroth?
• What are some Middle School appropriate games you'd recommend?
• What should we expect from Azerite Armor and the Heart of Azeroth in the furture?
• Thoughts on the negativity around this expansion?
• What’s life like in a top 100 team?
• If you could have any pet (class specific or battle) from wow in real life, what would it be and why?
• I've started to think about tools to use outside the game to help me play the game, I've recently come across people using spreadsheets as help. Are you aware of it?, any known good resources, etc, etc. Also, anything else other than spreadsheets?
• I was looking through some of my old hard drives and found some of my old raiding videos from WotLK and Cata which I used to see if I could change or do things better. And the age old question popped into my head of which was harder 10 man or 25 man raiding?

Episode #306: January Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!

• How would Warcraft end? How do you think it should end?
• Since most people got some winter weather this week what are yalls favorite snow day activities?  And if you could take one system/ activity back to vanilla from the current game what would it be?
• I consider myself a player struggling with "grass is always greener" syndrome; anytime I am playing one toon, I see another sparkly class from another player and work on gearing that one instead. And the cycle repeats. This severely inhibits my progress with my "main" (more realistically, "main three") with reputation, heart levels, etc. What advice would you offer for those struggling to stick with the main toon they love so much yet easily put aside for other distractions?
• Jason, what is the best shield in the game? Spencer, which weapon do you wish Druids could use, and why is it Shields?
• There's a lot of complaints across the Wow-o-sphere about the Alliance WM quest, do you think it would be more effective at getting people engaged in War Mode if it required them to complete a number of Emissaries in WM rather than just kill enemy players?
• With the latest World first race just 4 days 14 hours away from beginning, What can blizzard do to balance the issues that the war mode option brings? Limit Faction swapped to alliance to get the current war front cycle reward, and the alliance quest to kill 25 players for 400 ilvl gear. Understanding that World first is actually a small percentage of the population of the players of the game, with alliance being the only faction having had the benefits of playing warmode.  Obviously I am a horde player, but I just feel like with the ability to shard in and out of certain heavily faction populated shards how can blizzard go about balancing war mode?
