How much does datamining affect your enjoyment of a game?
We're in the middle of datamining season for patch 9.2 and I frankly find it a bit oppressive sometimes.
How important is the system you use in your TTRPG experience?
In tabletop role playing, a system is the codified rule set used to represent the world and the player's experiences of it. Dungeons and Dragons uses a system based around a d20 dice roll, with modifiers that change the possible spread of numbers you can successfully roll, and other dice to represent things like the damage dealt to characters or monsters in the game's combat system.
When should a franchise end? Should there always be a chance for more?
I am ridiculously happy that there's a new Mass Effect game coming.
What would you think if Blizzard extended the Season of Mastery to retail WoW?
I don't know if it would work, but between Mythic+ dungeons, World Quests, and the way Torghast apes Nephalem Rifts, there's already quite a bit of Diablo 3 in World of Warcraft nowadays.
How should World of Warcraft respect our time?
I hear the phrase "The game respects your time" more and more lately, and it's something I think about a lot.
How are you enjoying playing your alts since patch 9.1.5?
Shadowlands was far from an alt-friendly expansion when it was first released.
What was your favorite thing from the patch 9.2 Eternity’s End preview?
The final major patch for Shadowlands has been announced and we've finally gotten to see the next area that we'll be adventuring in.
How do you deal with waiting for an anticipated game?
Both Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 are likely going to be out sometime in 2023.
What’s the best way to handle progressive storytelling in an MMO?
When Cataclysm changed the 1 to 60 Azeroth experience in several zones, it was the first time World of Warcraft experimented with progressive story changes in the mmo world as a means to use the persistence of MMO settings as a storytelling tool.
What is the most important aspect of Blizzard’s individual franchises?
What makes a Diablo game that, and not just a Warcraft game?
