How did patch 9.1.5 treat you?
It's now past Wednesday, my friends, which means that World of Warcraft's patch 9.1.5 is out in the whole world -- and it's time to talk about it.
How would you like to see cross-faction play implemented?
No one is more surprised than I am to, after years of asking for it only to be denied, finally see someone at the World of Warcraft team -- much less the game's lead, Ion Hazzikostas -- talk about cross-faction raiding in an interview.
Why isn’t Day of the Dead a bigger holiday in the Shadowlands?
This week sees the return of a small celebration in World of Warcraft, Day of the Dead.
How and when do you think the next WoW expansion will be announced now that BlizzConline 2022 is canceled?
We're officially not going to have any sort of BlizzCon next year, neither an in-person one nor an online one.
What are your “must” games, movies, and TV shows to enjoy during Spooky Season™?
It should be no surprise to anybody, but I love spooky things.
How do you juggle multiple games from the same company all vying for your time?
I was watching a Super Carlin Brothers video last week, and the host made a reference to Diablo 2 Resurrected — and I started thinking about how I used to play that game but never got far before other games intruded.
What would your ideal playable catfolk race be like in WoW?
Catfolk are a fantasy staple, and usually a fan favorite.
How often should you have to relearn your class?
Generally speaking, World of Warcraft saves its most class-altering changes for the patches that introduce the systems for the next expansion -- changes like the loss of Armor Penetration, or the introduction of Holy Power, or the removal of Stances from Warriors.
How do you feel about “learn by dying”-style boss encounters?
Metroid Dread came out a couple weeks back, and it surprised my in how unforgiving the game could be at times -- I died a lot more than I expected to during my playthrough.
What’s your favorite alt class?
Everyone knows that I main Warriors and love them, but what I don't talk about as much is how much I enjoy having a Paladin alt -- I have two that I'm working on, and I enjoy the flexibility of healing, tanking or DPSing on one character.
