Farewell The War Within and Phil Spencer
Farewell to The War Within and Phil Spencer, and hello to hype for Midnight and concern about the future!...
Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to talk about their experience playing Midnight now that it is live! Rei talks about doing max level activities at level 90 with the guild. She also points out that Valeera should be markable in delves. They then discuss the Dark Heart trinket that came with the Midnight Collectors Edition. Rei also mentions doing content in the Forbidden Reach in Dragonflight for her Endeavors. Also, she warns everyone to not fly through the Sunwell Beam over Silvermoon.
Rei also observes that there is a line to leave Silvermoon by the Orgrimmar portal. She points out that people in the dungeons this week were extra toxic. Everyone discusses how Follower Dungeons have required some fixes. They then talk about learning the dungeon mechanics with a focus on the tasks in Murder Row.
Eric then talks about level scaling in dungeons and how lower levels do more damage. He complains about the Harandar objectives being underground on his map. They further discuss the racism of the Blood Elves in Silvermoon, and talk about how professions are feeling in early Midnight.
Kurabara was able to max out his fishing during the show. He also talks about running through the campaign and then one-shotting mobs in old content on the Arator questline. He is enjoying delves and feels Valeera is a better companion than Brann. He talks about Turalyon’s attitude and then everyone discusses the Arcantina.
In the news, Blizzard released a Spring Blossom bundle that many players felt was exploitative and Blizzard had to adjust the price.
