What we love about The War Within

Join us as we discuss the best new features in The War Within. From Delves improving on the promise of Torghast to better choices for players completing weekly quests to… uh, bees? I don’t know. I just work here, ma’am. Also how Diablo 4 tried not to be Diablo 3 but now is slowly morphing into it confirming our belief that we all turn into our parents eventually. And, honestly, nothing in the game could be more terrifying than that revelation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Was Blizzard right to nerf experience with the War Within launch?

Join us as we discuss Blizzard’s move to slow down leveling in The War Within, how much we are enjoying the new underground zones, more details about Diablo 4’s upcoming Mercenaries system, and our favorite titles coming out of Gamescom including the aptly titled, Date Everything.

The War Within early access anticipation

Join us as we discuss the launch of The War Within early access, the new Alleria animated short, the end of our beloved WoW: Remix (for now), the mercenaries coming to Diablo 4, and the release date of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Because it’s been too long without Varric in our lives even if they gave him a bad dye job. But there’s gonna be a mod for that, right? RIGHT? Hosted on Acast.

What’s involved in The War Within early access

Site writer Phil Ulrich joins as we discuss what’s involved, and not involved, in The War Within’s upcoming early access, the balance changes that arrived with patch 11.0.2, and Diablo 4 offering WoW-themed transmog as well as a Sparklepon— uh Celestial Steed. Though, honestly, if they really wanted our money, they should just sell a legendary weapon cosmetic dubbed the Pink Pony Club.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Haven’t we seen this WoW story before?

Special guests Cory Taylor and Liz Patt join us as we discuss how the story of the newest War Within cinematic feels a little too familiar, where exactly Warcraft Rumble went wrong, and how the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event feels like we’re all doing the time warp again (spoiler: it’s just a jump to the left.) To prove we aren’t all doom and gloom and actually love games (no really), we also cover the pleasant surprises in Diablo 4 Season 5, the potential of the new dev team dedicated to working on AA games using Blizzard properties, and how Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8 will be giving us the Old God-infused baked goods we didn’t know we needed in our lives.

A preponderance of pre-patch problems

Join as we discuss the problematic mob tagging, expensive rewards, and inconvenient boss timers of The War Within Radiant Echoes pre-patch event. Yes Blizzard addressed these issues yesterday, but we recorded this on Tuesday. That’s how time works, Susan.Also, Hearthstone is totally, definitely not dying (the developers said so), Marvel Rivals brings back the fun of early Overwatch, and the future possibilities of the clumsily implemented, but still-full-of-potential, Warbands feature in WoW.And because we don’t respect your time, we also delve into the unionization of the World of Warcraft team, the surprise extra boss in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4 Molten Core, and how the Monty Python & The Holy Grail Magic the Gathering limited print run set is so supercool that the scalpers already scooped them all up. But good news! We use it to quote a lot of over-quoted Monty Python quotes. You’re welcome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Let's bake a cake (for transmog)

This week has been displaced by the Infinite Dragonflight and disappeared into Pandaria — which is to say we're all playing WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. We discuss the unique gemming system, the extremely fun leveling experience, and, of course, free transmog. (Free transmog!) Plus Cataclysm Classic skipping Deathwing's attack and the important matter of why WoW doesn't have a Devilsaur mount. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
