What motivates you to try out a new game?
Horizon: Forbidden West releases today, and I'll be acquiring it to play this weekend -- even though I've never played past the tutorial in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
What two specs in WoW would you combine to make the ultimate class?
Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) added a new feature called Combat Styles in their recently launched expansion, Legacy of the Sith.
What makes you look forward to a game or expansion?
I'm sad to say that, after playing it a lot, I'm fairly "meh" about Assassin's Creed Valhalla's upcoming DLC, Dawn of Ragnarok.
What feature from World of Warcraft are you glad we never got?
For me it was the Dance Studio.
What do you consider to be the most important change in WoW patch 9.2?
I mean, there's no objective winner here -- for some folks, it will be the return of tier sets, while for others, it will be getting to explore the story and lore of Zereth Mortis, and for still others it will be the new legendaries that you can wear alongside an older one, giving you twice the legendaries.
What would you change about loot systems and RNG in modern MMOs?
While playing on my Monk the other day, I saw another leather-wearing player rocking some really nice-looking pants.
How should games test upcoming content?
Some games, like Diablo 2: Resurrected, Diablo 3, and World of Warcraft have PTRs where they can test their changes out, put new content up for players to interact with said content, and otherwise perform the Public Test that PTR -- Public Test Realm -- stands for.
What MMO storylines and quests still resonate with you years later?
Yesterday, I asked what some of your favorite MMO locations are, but today I'm going to mix it up and talk about stories instead.
What are the MMO zones and locations that you never get tired of?
While waiting for the End of Dragons expansion for Guild Wars 2 -- as well as Shadowlands patch 9.2 -- I've started leveling new WoW toons to unlock the Allied Races Heritage Armor.
How many games do you play at once, and what makes you stop playing a game?
I'm personally the kind of player who finds a game he likes and plays it into the ground, logging in repeatedly to play multiple characters.
