Balance issues, power creep, bad teammates, etc. Instead of just talking problems, we discuss solutions as well.

Twitter: twitter.com/themashnetworkDiscord: mash.gg/discord1 hr 39 min - Special Events SE: Blizzcon 2018: Out of Season April Fool's SpectacularJarret from Watchpoint Radio once again joins Nick, Rei, Eric and Harv from WoW! Talk! to look at the fallout from Blizzcon 2018. They begin by discussing the elephant in the room, the disappointing announcement of Diablo Immortal and the negative crowd reaction to it. They talk about whether the announcement was a good idea or not, and advise that Blizzard needed to at least tease Diablo 4 so that pc fans understood they were not being left behind for mobile gamers.Next, Nick talks quickly about the new Hearthstone expansion, "Rastakhan's Rumble." He thinks it looks good, but laughs that Rastakhan is dying in WoW.Speaking of which, the gang moves onto talking about the news for World of Warcraft. Mechagon and Nazjatar were announced as future destinations. Nick thinks everything looks promising. Harv seemed less impressed. They also talked about WoW Classic, sharing their experiences in the game. Nick found the boundary of exploration before getting too close to Thousand Needles. Eric died a bunch as a warrior while Rei went oom. Overall, they enjoyed the experience but agreed it was at best a diversion from Battle for Azeroth.Jarret talks briefly about the Starcraft II announcement of Zeratul and looks at the update about the Deep Mind AI. Nick mentions that Orphea is the new HotS hero. Then Jarret takes over and goes deep on the problems of Overwatch and how Ashe does not help the game. He talks about the problems with her ultimate B.O.B. He also looks at the Overwatch decisions of late.Nick brings up Warcraft III Remastered. He fawns over the cinematic while Eric and Harv look forward to playing the game for the first time. Everyone agrees this was one of the best announcements of the Con.Nick asks everyone how they would have handled Blizzcon if they knew what Blizzard was releasing. He also asks about what Blizzcon 2020 looks like if there is still no Diablo 4. Blizzard is in an interesting place over the next few years.Finally, Nick talks to Bob from Watchpoint Radio about his time at Blizzcon. He talks about meeting lots of community members and going to Con Before the Storm. He discusses his time playing Ashe and watching the Overwatch World Cup.Thank you for listening!

Twitter: twitter.com/themashnetworkDiscord: mash.gg/discord1 hr 21 min - Special Events SE: Pre-Blizzcon 2018 Hype!Is Blizzcon going to be awesome or is this the Blizzcon of our discontent? Jarret from Watchpoint Radio joins the WoW! Talk! gang to go over what we can expect from Blizzard at their annual convention.First, they talk about the Mike Morhaime to J. Allen Brack transition and how that might affect the company. Jarret doesn't expect it will affect Overwatch, but Nick offers some examples of changes to WoW that may indicate the game is shifting in a different direction.Next, Jarret dives into the state of Overwatch, talking about how the players tend not to understand the game, and how a certain player needs PVE Content or else the game population will decline. He also talks about how loot boxes have stalled as a revenue model.Nick brings up Diablo and the lack of Diablo IV at Blizzcon. Harv mentions that maybe there will be a Diablo II remaster announced. They wonder if a mobile game would be acceptable to fans of the franchise, or if, despite Blizzard's announcements, it is still on the way.The gang gets into expectations for WoW, talking about Patch 8.1 and patch 8.2 (or 8.1.5?) They ponder new allied races. They also talk about WoW Classic, and how Jarret doesn't expect WoW Classic to be popular, and everyone mostly agrees. They talk about the angst over the time-restricted demo. Jarret complains about smelting bullets back in vanilla WoW.Nick rants briefly about Hearthstone, talking about how he thinks Ben Brode's departure is affecting the state of the game, and its going to be some time before it will fully recover, much to the community's chagrin.Jarret talks briefly about Starcraft. Nick talks a little about Heroes. They have mild expectations for those games.Then, the gang talks about the bands that were finally announced for Blizzcon: Lindsay Strling, Kristian Nairn, and Train. Nick points out that people are always disappointed in the band and although this set is more eclectic than usual, it really shouldn't matter. He then rants about people complaining about the virtual ticket items and bands like those are the only parts of the Blizzcon tickets that matter.Finally, they talk about some of the panels they are looking forward to, including the cosplay competition and some of the voice acting panels. They also talk about some of the esports championships that will be happening.The Mash Those Buttons Team will be back next week with a full recap of everything announced at Blizzcon! See you then!
