  • What do you think of the whole less-faction-conflict aspect of this game?
  • How are you finding raiding and what’s your favorite feature in Dragonflight so far, and one you think needs the most work?
  • I caught you on twitch for the first time last month and was wondering what the story about your favorite thing on the shelf behind each of you?

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas find out what's on the TSZ patrons minds with the October 2022 Patron Q&A!

Episode #546: October Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

This month we asked our Patrons "Favorite Dragonflight/why?" and "What’s on your end-of-expansion checklist?"

  • Excluding events like holidays, DMF, and stuff you two covered a couple episodes ago, what are your recommendations for readily available content that falls under the "you must see or do this at least once" category?
  • What is in your opinion something in WoW that is highly underrated or underused?
  • What is your add on philosophy heading into DF? Will the UI changes let you drop some you currently use?
  • First Raid of a new expansion, how do you approach getting ready for and progressing, compared to the 2nd or 3rd raid?
  • What are your expectations for this expansion, and do they differ from other expansions, especially regarding the removal of borrowed power in regard to gearing?
  • Favorite pizza toppings?
  • with all the updates and news of DF, and with y’all having played the beta, how likely do you think it is that Dragonflight will be received generally positively by the community?
  • We've had expansions where we get less content than expected, and expansions where content was very consistent until the long tail. What would be your sweet spot?
  • I want to know what you guys do to avoid burnout after the expansion has been out for a couple of months?

Episode #533: July Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

This month we asked our Patrons "What are your plans for professions in Dragonflight?"

  • Jason and Spencer's answer to the question.
  • What's a reasonable amount of time, outside of raid, to be expected to be 'raid ready?' If you're not raiding, how much time should you be working on your professions, how much Mythic+ or PvP'ing, etc.?
  • Which pre-legion dungeon would you most like to see as an M+ dungeon, and which older dungeon would you like to see a new wing added to (similar to the upcoming uldaman dungeon)?
  • How much more content do you think will be available in Dragonflight for cross-faction play? Do you think they'll implement some way of being able to do group finder activities cross faction? Or outside world stuff?
  • Do you feel Blizz is lining up enough End Game content for Dragonflight?
  • What you think of the S4 info we got recently?
  • How difficult do you think the profession items that are on par with high end raid/M+ gear should be to craft? And how difficult should the reagents be to get?
  • Is there anything you've seen in Alpha so far that has you worried about Dragonflight?

Episode #520: May Patron Q&A!
01:51:18

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas find out what's on the TSZ patrons minds with the May 2022 Patron Q&A!

Episode #520: May Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

This week we asked our Patrons "What's coming to World of Warcraft that you are looking forward to most?"

  • Jason and Spencer's answer to the question.
  • Do you believe that we can expect a fundamental shift in the way Blizzard designs future expansions and communicates with its players, or do you think they will revert back to "systemcraft" and "knowing what's best" for the players?
  • What you guys think is the best cinematic reveal to date (including vanilla)?
  • How do you feel Blizzard is doing on tuning each of the raid difficulties and what, if anything, do you feel they need to communicate about the tuning?
    • Is there less opportunity to recover from mistakes made during execution, even with gear appropriate for the raid?
    •  What do you like about how the raids are designed and what would you like to see changed?
  • I want to know what is your fondest memory of WoW?
  • What would y’all think about them bringing back the scrap bot from BFA but also have it return valor spent to upgrade said item along with the crafting materials for that type of gear?
  • With the training of our dragonflight and the importance they’re putting into it. Do y’all think that either a whole raid, a raid boss or a mythic specific dungeon will require mechanics using your Dragon like Occulus did in Wrath?
  • When doing less important WoW tasks, are you in game soundtrack or listen to music kind of people?

Episode #511: March Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

This week we asked our Patrons "What do you think of ZM so far?"

  • Jason and Spencer's answer to the question.
  • Brainstorming better loot systems for the Game.
  • "How you feel about the race to World first and the complains about the length. Personally I don't have an issue with the fact, that it takes more than two weeks to kill the final boss of a tier. The event around the race is something the guilds decide to do and I think Blizzard is not supposed to balance the game around these."
  • "I'd be interested in a "Expansion Review", top things you liked, top things you disliked. Maybe a wishlist for next expansion. Points to sustain, points to improve."
  • "Would be really interested to hear you guys discuss the proposed Season 4 that's planned for later this year and what you think about it."

Episode #501: January Patron Q&A!
02:12:25

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas find out what's on the TSZ patrons minds with the January 2022 Patron Q&A!

Episode #501: January Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

This week we asked our Patrons "What's your favorite tier set of all time?"

  • Hey Spencer and Jason, I have two questions and wanted to ask before I forgot them. The first one being how do you two feel about content creators/ the people how follow them trashing on WoW excessively? I am not saying all creators/followers are like this but I think some "groups" are just a little too harsh or seem like they just want to start arguments for lack of better words and it really brings me down.

    The second question being on a lighter note, if there was one zone you could pick to live in which one would it be and why?

  • Why did you first choose the current role (healer, tank, dps) you are in and what makes it fun/exciting for you?

  • My question would be if you think we are seeing more of the shift they were doing in 9.15 (respecting players time, more alt friendly) in 9.2?

  • I can't get invited to keys, any suggestions?
  • Set piece drops vs. Tokens. Do you think their newly announced system, including tokens, will provide the bad luck protection, while still allowing teams to progress at the speed they desire?

Episode #494: December Patron Q&A!
01:44:05

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas find out what's on the TSZ patrons minds with the December 2021 Patron Q&A!

Episode #494: December Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

  • What is the advantage of even adding a second legendary versus just improving the baseline Covenant abilities?
  • If the WoW devs gifted you each with the ability to create your own expansion with full creative control, what would it be? I'm talking story, setting, NPC's focused on, systems, raids, dungeons, music, the whole shebang. What is your dream dot zero scenario?
  • At what age will Jason's twins start playing wow? My kids started around kindergarten/first grade, but when they learned to read I made a rule that they had to read the quest text. What special rules will Jason make for his kidlets? How long before they will be raid ready?
  • Question for the show, what is your favorite zone that wasn't in vanilla?
  • Are looking forward to the new tier sets and would you sport them?

01:33:48

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas find out what's on the TSZ patrons minds with the November 2021 Patron Q&A!

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?

Episode #488: Talking 9.2 with Morgan Day! 
57:59

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this special episode, Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas discuss the upcoming 9.2 content release with Morgan Day!

Episode #488: Talking 9.2 with Morgan Day! is ready for Download!

The foundation of the questions we asked Morgan

  • New Zone: Zereth Mortis

How did working through the pandemic affect the plan for Shadowlands and getting a new zone added to each patch?

This seems like a natural place for Shadowlands’ story to resolve, but what went into actually getting it there?

What is the plan for Legendary crafting in 9.2? We know we get the new materials from Zereth Mortis. How do we get them and about how long after patch would you expect players to have their first top-rank Legendary? 

Will we still need Rank 4 or Rank 6 base items to get started ? 

Will we still need Soul Ash/Soul Cinders to craft a new Legendary from scratch?
Will there be Conduit upgrade items via Zereth Mortis? 

Are Conduits going up 2 more ranks, similar from S1 to S2? 

What kind of catchup mechanics are being planned to get characters to baseline relevance with the Conduit system at the outset of 9.2?

  • New Feature: Cypher of the First Ones

What can players expect from the Cypher in regards to progression?

Is it gated weekly, similar to Renown?

Is there player choice in which upgrades unlock when? Are unlocks account-wide to any degree?

How do we advance our progress at the Cypher? Are there specific tasks/quests, fill-the-bar style activities, lootable items similar to Archivist’s Codex, or something else entirely?

Are we “speccing out” the Cypher, so to speak, choosing certain upgrades/perks at the expense of others, or does every character eventually get the full slate of benefits?

  • New Raid: Sepulcher of the First Ones

Can you talk a bit about the factors that went into the decision to time-gate the initial release? 

Can players expect a big shift in gameplay or the zone when they return the week after defeating the Anduin encounter?

Are there plans for unlockable skips? 

What about fast-travel points around the raid zone, like Hellfire Citadel had?

With tier pieces being available from other sources, is there an intent to put uniquely powerful items in the new raid? 

We saw probably not enough of that in Castle Nathria and maybe a bit too much in Sanctum of Domination.

How is the team feeling about raid encounter length at the top end? 

Should we expect more 12-15 minute marathons?

Did the team feel basing boss phase transitions on health, like on KT, was effective? It resulted in many teams having unwanted “hold dps” phases, is that something we might see in this raid?

Great vault loot restricted behind bosses killed?

  • New Loot: Class Sets Return

Will the set bonuses be per class or per spec? 

Are there unique effects in Raid/M+/PvP or a set pair of bonuses per set? How many total pieces of each set are there?

Is the goal with the class sets to shake up gameplay/rotations/priority or more to provide passive bonuses on top of what we’re already doing?

With set pieces dropping again, it would be nice to have tokens back. Has there been any thought about bringing Master Loot back?

  • Shadowlands Season 3

Extrapolating high keystone versions of Tazavesh is a bit intimidating at the moment. Will we see changes to bring these dungeons in line with the rest of the pool?

Operation: Mechagon was pretty on par with the rest of BFA, the additions to Legion were pretty big outliers.

The Season 2 affix has been pretty fun, anything you can talk about regarding the plan for Season 3? 

We haven’t seen anything in SL that affected dungeon routes the way Awakened did for example in BFA, is that a concept that might be revisited?
How is the team feeling about the way Mythic + Rating/Valor have worked out in Season 2? 

Any notable updates coming in Season 3 or should we expect a similar path, just with 2 more dungeons in the pool?
We know there are Torghast updates coming and new layers. Will Torghast still be a source for 9.2 Legendary mats or is that being 100% shifted to Zereth Mortis? 

Any updates to the Box of Many Things? What kind of new stuff will there be for Torghast players to chase?

How does the team feel about the Great Vault this expansion?

Any thoughts on adding some kind of duplicate logic to the system or a streak-protection/currency type of option?

Looking ahead, what were the lessons the team learned over the course of Shadowlands and how are they informing future design?

  • With a release date for 9.1.5 in early November, and a probable February/March date for 9.2, does it look like we'll have 9.2.5 and 9.3 or do they just go 9.2.5 and then 10.0 pre-patch? Do we get 10.0 in 2022 or early 2023?

Episode #478: September Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!

  • Could Blizzard craft a good survey to capture player feedback, do you think after a new patch is launched, a survey sent to the player base about what they did and didn't like in the previous patch would help inform the dev team better than the current system they have?
  • Where do you think gearing from M+, PvP and Raid should be in 9.2 with the coming tier sets?
  • How do you prioritize the opportunities presented by timewalking?
  • Now that they are bringing back Mage Tower in some form for Legion Timewalking. I wonder if they could bring back the Challenge Modes for WoD and Mists Timewalking with some unique transmog?
  • Where do you think I should look for a new raid team that fits my unique schedule?

Episode #473: August Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!

  • What moment in World of Warcraft made you fall in love with the game, and if you were introducing someone to the story to catch their attention, what would you show them?
  • With the changes coming in 9.1.5, it seems like some of the suggestions/recommendations that were made during beta of Shadowlands are actually now coming into the live game. Why do you think the dev team was so entrenched in their design and do you think this same decision would have been made had we not been in 9.0 for so long?
  • Is there anything the player base/community could do differently in the future to make their points better on these type of design ideas, because it seems to me this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened in the past few expansions?
  • I think all the announced changes for 9.1.5 are great, especially doing away with conduit energy, and making covenant swapping easy.
    • Do you think these changes are related to the sexual harassment lawsuit?
    • Perhaps the people who were toxic to their co-workers also designed toxic game systems?
    • Or maybe it's simply a desperate attempt to entice players back after the mass exodus of players caused by the lawsuit?
  •  In season one we used to have to buy the conduit upgrade item and then go back to your Sanctum to use it, than come back to Ve'nari and buy another one and keep repeating that process. Can you just buy a bunch of them and go back to your Sanctum and use them one after another?
  • Epic’s WoW Memoriam

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas asked their Patrons "What is your #1 wish list item for 9.1 and beyond?" on the April 2021 Patron Q&A!

Episode #452: April Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

  • Do you think when people get their BiS they will stop playing?
  • Would you rather get CE in the first 2 weeks of progression but have to raid everyday, or only wipe 3 times on each boss but get CE on the last possible day?
  • What is 'real' wow to you?
  • What is the biggest change in 9.1 you are looking forward to and what’s another you would like to see put in?
  • Do you think WoW would be better with a more frequent yet smaller content cycle? i.e. rather than waiting nine months for Patch 9.1. Instead, after two months, we get the new dungeon, then Torghast changes two months later, then the Maw changes in another two months, and finally the new raid eight months after 9.0.
  • What are your thoughts on healer dps as it applies to mythic plus and raids? Do you guys think that all healers should be able to contribute damage or that the outliers like hpal and disc priest need to be brought back in line?
  • I’m also intrigued by tier sets coming back, I’ve never raided when tier sets were a thing so was wandering what your favourite specific tier set bonus was from yesteryear?

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas asked their Patrons "What’s the craziest Torghast power or power combo you’ve done?" on the December 2020 Patron Q&A!

Episode #429: December Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

What’s New this Week in World of Warcraft!

  • 2 good runs as a Protection Warrior - 1 was the all Haste run, between getting the 9% more Haste 3 times, I also got a proc'cing Haste power and have a trinket that drops a Haste pool. I kept my character sheet open to watch, and managed to proc 100% Haste on a couple trash packs, just obiliterating them.
  • 2nd run was a combination of reversing the pools in Mor'tegast so they Heal instead of Damage combined with stacking the Whirlwind/Thunderclap have a chance to pull in the 3 closest enemies as well as getting both to do much more damage AND heal for 80% of the damage they did. I couldn't die and the mobs couldn't get away. It was amazing.
  • My craziest combo so far has been on my priest. Combining a Door of Shadows power (Mask of Withering) with a Fade power (Volatile Phantasm) to create a dive-bombing priest build.  I fly into a pack with Door of Shadows, debuffing them to take more damage. I then drop an image of myself with fade that detonates for massive damage.  It may not be the craziest combo out there, but I really enjoy it because it's so different to the way the class would ever play outside of Torghast.
  • While it's certainly not the craziest build ever - I was not even a little bit sad to get the reversing the pools in Mor'tegast on my Disc priest in the very first power pick. It made me feel very tanky.

Episode #422: November Patron Q&A!
01:37:23

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players!

On this episode Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas asked their Patrons "What are your priorities before Shadowlands Season 1 starts?" and answered their questions on the November 2020 Patron Q&A!

Episode #422: November Patron Q&A! is ready for Download!

  • How y'all feeling about the current PrePatch invasion? What would y'all change or add to make it very enjoyable?
  • In the October call in show you guys had a lot of discussion about keybinds and macros. How important do you think those tools are to playing the game at a high level? I've been playing WoW since Wrath, and raiding since Cata, but I have never used any keybinds or macros, just clicking my spell buttons on the bars in the default UI. Even without these I managed to go 8/12 in Mythic Nyalotha with my guild. After this long I'd be afraid that I'd actually hurt my performance by trying to radically change my playstyle rather than improve it.
  • I'm a hoarder in game and I go AFK for months and come back and have all this useless or maybe not so useless stuff....the question is when people are AFK for awhile and have to come back, clean house and get back into the game, is there a recommended method to do so? I will pop in and feel overwhelmed and feel like I'm so far behind with the full inventory and the missed content. How to handle inventory? How to catch up? Strategies for doing that?
  • Do you guys use VPN when gaming?
  • What are your expectation when it comes to recruiting?
