Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

What WoW race would you like to see featured next?

by Matthew Rossi on March 1, 2017 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

This is kind of a hard question to answer because we have so many races in World of Warcraft but it's fairly safe to say that Legion deals a lot with Elven history, there's an entire zone dedicated to Tauren lore, Stormheim is a fairly strong piece of Vrykul story...

by Matthew Rossi on February 28, 2017 at 11:00am @MatthewWRossi

I’ve always wished they would add playable Broken. I think that would be pretty awesome.

I’m actually listening to I’m Broken by Pantera, which is what made me think of that.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard and stuff.

Does leveling still matter?

by Matthew Rossi on February 28, 2017 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

I'm not talking about "Hey, it's a new expansion, level through these new zones and see new quests/do new things" leveling -- I honestly think that's some of Blizzard's strongest game design and has been since Mists of Pandaria.

by Matthew Rossi on February 26, 2017 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

This isn't just about Paladins, but I was reading up on Hero Classes the other day and I discovered that Blizzard considered making Paladins one in WoW back before original flavor launch in 2004.

Should all experience be account wide?

by Matthew Rossi on February 24, 2017 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

This isn't one of those times I know what I think the answer is, I'm seriously just posing the question because it occurred to me yesterday while playing Heroes of the Storm that I was kind of hurting myself by switching characters.
