03 Mar 2020Episode #377: February Patron Q&A!01:37:20

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the February 2020 Patron Q&A!

Episode #377: February Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

  • Our server rankings have been progressively getting better this entire expansion, are raids getting easier or are we getting better? Do you feel like there are less raid teams as we get deeper into the expansion and that is affecting it?
  • What are your highlights and lowlights for this expansion?
  • Hey fellas... after 6 or so weeks in nya’lotha what do you think of the corruption system. I personally find it frustrating that some classes having these great (infinite stars) guaranteed weapons available while the rest rely on rng ( <——- self serving boomie complaint). Also your thoughts on how light the loot table has seems to have been constructed and how that could effect replay value.
  • Call in show question: Now that this xpac is done, what what do you think are its biggest successes and failures?
  • My question is this: if you could remove one zone from the map forever what would it be? And is there an area in Warcraft lore you would like to explore as a WoW area?
  • Rank the mythic plus seasonal affixes best to worst, and explain why?

26 Mar 2022Episode #511: March Patron Q&A!02:15:24

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas find out what's on the TSZ patrons minds with the March 2022 Patron Q&A!

Episode #511: March Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

This week we asked our Patrons "What do you think of ZM so far?"

  • Jason and Spencer's answer to the question.
  • Brainstorming better loot systems for the Game.
  • "How you feel about the race to World first and the complains about the length. Personally I don't have an issue with the fact, that it takes more than two weeks to kill the final boss of a tier. The event around the race is something the guilds decide to do and I think Blizzard is not supposed to balance the game around these."
  • "I'd be interested in a "Expansion Review", top things you liked, top things you disliked. Maybe a wishlist for next expansion. Points to sustain, points to improve."
  • "Would be really interested to hear you guys discuss the proposed Season 4 that's planned for later this year and what you think about it."

20 Nov 2021Episode #488: Talking 9.2 with Morgan Day! 00:57:59

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this special episode, Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas discuss the upcoming 9.2 content release with Morgan Day!

Episode #488: Talking 9.2 with Morgan Day! is ready for Download!

The foundation of the questions we asked Morgan

  • New Zone: Zereth Mortis

How did working through the pandemic affect the plan for Shadowlands and getting a new zone added to each patch?

This seems like a natural place for Shadowlands’ story to resolve, but what went into actually getting it there?

What is the plan for Legendary crafting in 9.2? We know we get the new materials from Zereth Mortis. How do we get them and about how long after patch would you expect players to have their first top-rank Legendary? 

Will we still need Rank 4 or Rank 6 base items to get started ? 

Will we still need Soul Ash/Soul Cinders to craft a new Legendary from scratch?
Will there be Conduit upgrade items via Zereth Mortis? 

Are Conduits going up 2 more ranks, similar from S1 to S2? 

What kind of catchup mechanics are being planned to get characters to baseline relevance with the Conduit system at the outset of 9.2?

  • New Feature: Cypher of the First Ones

What can players expect from the Cypher in regards to progression?

Is it gated weekly, similar to Renown?

Is there player choice in which upgrades unlock when? Are unlocks account-wide to any degree?

How do we advance our progress at the Cypher? Are there specific tasks/quests, fill-the-bar style activities, lootable items similar to Archivist’s Codex, or something else entirely?

Are we “speccing out” the Cypher, so to speak, choosing certain upgrades/perks at the expense of others, or does every character eventually get the full slate of benefits?

  • New Raid: Sepulcher of the First Ones

Can you talk a bit about the factors that went into the decision to time-gate the initial release? 

Can players expect a big shift in gameplay or the zone when they return the week after defeating the Anduin encounter?

Are there plans for unlockable skips? 

What about fast-travel points around the raid zone, like Hellfire Citadel had?

With tier pieces being available from other sources, is there an intent to put uniquely powerful items in the new raid? 

We saw probably not enough of that in Castle Nathria and maybe a bit too much in Sanctum of Domination.

How is the team feeling about raid encounter length at the top end? 

Should we expect more 12-15 minute marathons?

Did the team feel basing boss phase transitions on health, like on KT, was effective? It resulted in many teams having unwanted “hold dps” phases, is that something we might see in this raid?

Great vault loot restricted behind bosses killed?

  • New Loot: Class Sets Return

Will the set bonuses be per class or per spec? 

Are there unique effects in Raid/M+/PvP or a set pair of bonuses per set? How many total pieces of each set are there?

Is the goal with the class sets to shake up gameplay/rotations/priority or more to provide passive bonuses on top of what we’re already doing?

With set pieces dropping again, it would be nice to have tokens back. Has there been any thought about bringing Master Loot back?

  • Shadowlands Season 3

Extrapolating high keystone versions of Tazavesh is a bit intimidating at the moment. Will we see changes to bring these dungeons in line with the rest of the pool?

Operation: Mechagon was pretty on par with the rest of BFA, the additions to Legion were pretty big outliers.

The Season 2 affix has been pretty fun, anything you can talk about regarding the plan for Season 3? 

We haven’t seen anything in SL that affected dungeon routes the way Awakened did for example in BFA, is that a concept that might be revisited?
How is the team feeling about the way Mythic + Rating/Valor have worked out in Season 2? 

Any notable updates coming in Season 3 or should we expect a similar path, just with 2 more dungeons in the pool?
We know there are Torghast updates coming and new layers. Will Torghast still be a source for 9.2 Legendary mats or is that being 100% shifted to Zereth Mortis? 

Any updates to the Box of Many Things? What kind of new stuff will there be for Torghast players to chase?

How does the team feel about the Great Vault this expansion?

Any thoughts on adding some kind of duplicate logic to the system or a streak-protection/currency type of option?

Looking ahead, what were the lessons the team learned over the course of Shadowlands and how are they informing future design?

26 May 2020Episode #391: May Patron Q&A!01:14:05

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the May 2020 Patron Q&A!

Episode #391: May Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

  • When does Ahead of the Curve end?
  • How do you feel about Spotify buying Joe Rogan's exclusive rights?
  • What are your thoughts on the balance of the covenant abilities? Like is Spencer gonna have 4 druids in different covenants in case one is stupid OP?
  • I just returned to the game and I was reflecting on how the NPC vendors etc. add to the story telling in the game. What are some of your favorites on each side and why? The Vulpera give you a feel if they are survivalist and encourage the player to be careful. The Dwarves often have a hearty “Great to meet you!” and “See you soon!”
  • With all the great new customizations coming to shadowlands, are there any specifics you hope will come next? Either xmog or your characters themselves

  • Do you think Arthas will play a larger role in this expansion?

Episode #334: June Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!

  • How do we feel about the body guard system?
  • What’s our view on recruitment vetting for heroic raiding?
  • What was our favourite boss from BoDA?
  • What’s your most anticipated boss from the Azshara raid?
  • What are our thoughts on the Baine scenario?
  • Where are we going after this?
  • Do you think Sylvannas becomes a raid encounter?
  • What is your favorite zone in WoW? Mine would be Nagrand. Fond memories of idly skinning my way through critters while talking in guild chat. Lovely zone. BC Nagrand, to be specific.
  • What do you think is the most outlandish/time intensive thing you wish you'd done prior to the patch that you didn't get to?
  • So I'm barely into Nazjatar right now -- don't even have a follower to level 3 -- but at this point I've gotten two pieces of benthic gear that I've been able to upgrade to 410. Any impressions / opinions about how that gearing system is/isn't delivering for people?
  • I want Vulpera as an allied race more than I want world peace, but I have a weird feeling that we're going to get Gilgoblins.
  • I would really like to know how many hours per week you guys play WoW. It seems like it is a lot more than I do. But I am curious.

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the June Patron Q&A!

Episode #339: July Patron Q&A! is ready for Download! What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!

  • What are your thoughts on a soft level cap for expansions? For example in BFA level cap of 115 until patch 8.2 and then 120 until end of expansion. Do you think this would help with some of the problems of over gearing or at least allowing them more wiggle room for how it scales up.
  • How do you guys see how the development of the game's infrastructure/tools so to speak influences community and in turn raid/guild commitment?
  • What do you guys think about merging the factions?
  • I managed to finally get a ticket to blizzcon this year and it will be the first time I’ve ever been to a con of any sort or even out of Canada on my own. What advice do you have for a terrified first timer con goes?
  • What do you both think about the pacing of Essence unlocks?
  • What's your current neck level and when do you anticipate hitting 65?
  • Jason, do you think you will have AOTC before all level 3 essences?
    • Spencer, do you think you will have Cutting Edge before all level 3's?
  • What percentage of the WoW player base do you think engages in WoW adjacent media? Podcasts/Twitch/Youtube etc.
  • How do you think the atmosphere around the game would change if more people were involved in the discussion surrounding the game?
  • Do you think the choice Horde has to make between Sylvannas and Thrall could have been blizzard putting out a survey for possibly changing the alliance horde dynamic in the game in future expansions?
  • What do you guys do to get into the zone for progression raiding? Any rituals or habits you find yourself doing before/during the fights?
  • Now that you've got to really sink your teeth into the essence system how are you finding it? Favorite/least favorite parts? Do you think something like this will continue post-BFA or will we likely see another system introduced?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is TSZ_twitter_banner_2018-1200x400.png

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the August 2020 Patron Q&A!

Episode #408: August Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

  • Do you think blizzard need to change how the server transfer services is done? Have it similar to FF14 where you pay 20 dollars for a few toons but you have a cool down to when you can do it again. I have some max toons on dead servers which I wanted to transfer to Zul'jin. They have all the old profession which I wanted to keep. It's too expensive at the moment with transfer services.
  • What, if anything, do you feel WoW is lacking related to game play and/or storytelling, and where do you think it shines?
  • We've seen Uther in the Bastion short. Which characters would you most like to see in the other three shorts? (Personally,  I'd like to see Onyxia in Revendreth, if I'm understanding their concept correctly; and I'm struggling with the other two because I keep conflating when characters died and wanting to see characters that died post cataclysm, who would all be in the Maw)But I anticipate I'm going to think "of course" as soon as I know who the lore characters are.
  • Because of a perceived short beta window, a few voices in the community seem concerned that Shadowlands may be releasing [Ragnaros voice] “too soon”, what are your feelings towards the timing of SLs release and upcoming raid schedule?
  • Hey Gents.... With the Afterlives short, what would you guys think of a netflix series in the same manner or would you prefer if they did something more of the cinematic approach. Where would you like to see the story start up and what would be your sought after story to cover.
  • So this hasn't been exactly confirmed but I would put money on it. So I wanted to get your thoughts on the matter and if you would be cool if this is how it plays out.  I feel like with the whole level squish, this is the way WoW is going to be going forward. Our new normal. I believe that we will get squished back to 50 with every future pre-patch and our goal will be to level to 60 in the new expansion. And then the previous expansion will be bottled up into it own little section and be available to do for the 10-50 experience.  I personally think this is a great plan. It helps the devs in a lot of ways with developing the game. How do you guys feel about this?

  • Spencer how are you min maxing AP? How did that work?
  • Can you talk a bit about some of the friendships you developed in WoW?
  • What are your plans for the summer?
  • Where do we see WoW in 3 expansions?
  • I know we talked about it before but if you could build the ultimate raid for the 15th anniversary what 8 bosses would you choose? They could come from any raid or dungeon from the party 15 years.
  • As the classes are in Classic, what specializations do you think are missing iconic spells that weren't added until later in the game?
  • Are there any junk items that hold sentimental value for you guys which you allow to take up precious bag and bank space, which you always scan over and never get rid of. If so, what are they…and why do you keep them?
