Summary
Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!
Episode #490: November Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!
What's New this Week in World of Warcraft!
- What about 9.2 are you most looking forward to?
- Pursuant of the conversation about the gap in access to the raid bosses, what do the two of you think of this design idea, and if you were going to use a split raid or some other raid change to help lessen the long tail of an expansion, how would you design it in broad terms?
- Do you think 9.2 will have an impact on the player numbers? From my friends list some people are giving SL a second shot but I am not sure if that's an overall trend.
- What two legendaries were you hoping to wear and what would it have opened up gameplay wise for you?
- Away from 9.2, with a lot of talk around how the end of Shadowlands will 'close a chapter of WoW' do you think that the next expansion will finally bring cross-faction end game content (raiding etc.) or indeed will there even still be an alliance and a horde come next expansion?
