WoW! Talk! – Warcraft News and Guild Life

#278: New Player Experience and Warcraft Direct


Listen Later

This week, Nick, Rei, and Eric are joined by Kurabara and his wife Blythe who only recently started playing WoW and is here to talk about the new player experience. She talks about rolling a dwarven fury warrior and mistakenly attempting to tank. She also shares her experience learning about dragonriding and discovering that she can add more action bars. She talks about rolling an evoker and not understanding what was happening. She compares WoW and Diablo IV.

Next, Rei talks about running mythic+ dungeons and getting tanks that don’t pay attention. Rei and Kura ran some dungeons and they complain about Necrotic Wake.

Eric mentions that Order of Corrupted Souls has downed Silken Court and is struggling on Ansurek. He also talks about learning to play his Havoc Demon Hunter and how he’s still figuring out their enhanced mobility. He talks about finishing the Earthen campaign and he and Kura complain about Jewelcrafting.

Kurabara continues talking about his struggles with crafting this expansion and in particular questions the usefulness of inscription. He also complains that getting Best-in-slot gear has been difficult, and he and Rei discuss how current loot rules can be a problem.

Kura and Nick talk about the Warcraft Direct and how Warcraft Reforged was supposed to get some fixes in a new patch, but more bugs were introduced. Also, Warcraft I and Warcraft II Reforged were released with plenty of bugs as well. Then they discuss the Patch 11.1 announcement and go over what is coming in the 2025 Roadmap. They also talk about the Player Housing announcement and Nick cautions everyone to lower their expectations. Kura brings up the Mountain Dew promotion and how scalpers have made getting the Hateforged Blazecycle difficult and expensive.

Nick takes a quick look back at episode #178 when they were preparing for Blizzconline.
