In Diablo 4, you can respec your character’s skills and abilities as much as you like, but it won’t be free
In the December 2020 Quarterly Update for Diablo 4, we found out that the Skill Tree for the game has essentially been locked in as a system -- as Game Director Luis Barriga put it in the post, the general consensus is that the Skill Tree is headed in a solid direction and now it's time to iterate on and improve it.
How are you handling Shadowlands’ overwhelming amount of max-level content?
One problem I have with Shadowlands is that there's a lot to do at max level, and it's kind of daunting.
What do you think is going to happen in the next World of Warcraft expansion?
I mean, where do you go after the afterlife?
What has Shadowlands learned from previous expansions?
Every expansion attempts to learn from the previous expansions.
Why do I love the incidental characters in Shadowlands so much?
Okay, seriously, I love this little squirrel.
What should WoW Classic do next?
With Naxx cleared and the Scourge Invasion ending by December 31, that's it for WoW Classic and new content.
The Queue: Yelling at squirrels
In between leveling various characters in Shadowlands, I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, my second favorite AC game (and a close close second at that) wherein I do things like conquer parts of England and also yell at squirrels. Well, I get into flyting contests with squirrels, which is a kind of Viking argument where we take turns insulting each other in rhyme. This is me as Odin up against Ratatosk the Squirrel god.
Yes, this really happens.
I want more rap battles with squirrels in WoW, I think. Considering that one of my favorite NPC’s this expansion is a squirrel, or at least a ghost that now looks like one, I feel like this should be doable.
Is Castle Nathria coming out too soon?
There's a case to be made that Castle Nathria isn't launching all that early.
What kind of gameplay in World of Warcraft are you most focused on?
For some players, getting to 60 was the most important part of Shadowlands, but by now they've achieved that and they're focusing on other things.
Battle for Azeroth mobs won’t scale to wreck your level 60 character’s face anymore
Rejoice in the most recent hotfixes, which have lowered the level at which Battle for Azeroth mobs scale with gear.
