Reviewing the Story of Blizzard - Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment
We review Jason Schreier's Play Nice. Yeah, there's a ton of stuff about Blizzard in there! Go check it out!...
Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kura are back this week to talk about what is going on in World of Warcraft! First, they talk about the ongoing guild bank issue where Blizzard has lost several items from player’s guild banks, including completely wiping out some banks entirely! They talk about how this issue is getting more and more attention each week and it’s a shame that Blizzard is unable to recover the data. They also point out that for the most part its just old mats but in some cases some unique items from the game’s history were also lost and cannot be recovered.
Next, Rei talks about her experiences with the weekly quests and working to catch up on some of them. Kura talks about how a recent mining quest was prohibitively expensive for the materials it was asking for. Rei also talks about running the new Deephaul Ravine battleground with Kura and trying some +6 Mythic Dungeons.
Eric talks about how the guild is halfway through Nerub’ar Palace. He also mentions that he is working on leveling up his jewelcrafting profession but that seems slower this expansion.
Kura talks about how he found the cause of his low DPS – his pets were set to passive. He also talks about the ease with which he can complete delves as a blook DK. He mentions that his wife has made a new WoW character and is playing an Evoker.
Nick talks about how the quickest way to complete delves is to not focus on finding the little containers that have experience for Bran and instead just rush to the end.
In the news, Limit won Mythic World First for Nerub’ar Palace. Also, Echo is stepping back from some events. And Thrall’s voice can be used with your Waze navigation app.
Finally, we look back 100 episodes at January of 2021 when Limit won World First for Mythic Castle Nathria.
