Blizzard Watch Podcast
A preponderance of pre-patch problems
Ep. 487
•
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.
