Happy Friday, Watchers!

Last Epoch has finally been released onto the world from following a very successful Kickstarter in 2018, a few release delays, and four years in Early Access.

This is Ocktomos, and I’m pretty sure he’s feeling a sense of accomplishment at having beat out the RNG gods and acquired Fyr’alath. Perhaps relief to have finally collected all the crafting materials and finished all the Superblooms. The feeling of climbing the highest mountain in the game to say, yeah, I did that.

So grats Ocktomos on the axe, and let’s get on to the Queue, where we’re going to spend an above-average amount of time talking about our feelings.

Join us as we discuss how slow leveling, complicated itemization, and lack of early game unique drops make for an unfun Diablo 4.

Rewards in blue, green, and other shades in between have been revealed at World of Warcraft's Trading Post for March!

A forever game is one in where players make tangible progress, find new experiences, and face new challenges all without ever actually finishing the game.

World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore’s Self-Found mode goes live today, February 29 at 3PM pacific time, and gives Hardcore players a new challenge to overcome if they choose to -- players can’t trade items with other players through any means (including mailing items between characters) or use the Auction House, so players need to be self-sufficient and reliant when it comes to creating their own items.

Diablo 4 Season 3 will be bringing back six popular Vampiric Powers from Season 2, the fan-favorite Season of Blood, as new legendary affixes.

Lately pretty much every morning has felt like waking up with a mind flayer tadpole, so I figured I’d embrace it. It’s the Queue. I’m kind of splitting my time between Faerun and Sanctuary lately — yes, I’m that one guy who likes Diablo 4 pretty much just as much as when it launched — and I won’t lie, there’s some cognitive dissonance.

Luckily, I tend to do Dark Urge origins and those are a fair bit more… shall we say sanguine? It makes it easier to leap between them when I go from giant barbarian soaked in blood to giant barbarian soaked in blood, I guess.

The Last Epoch launched last week after five years of early access, and it's an ARPG that, like almost every ARPG in existence, is clearly heavily influenced by Diablo 2.
