AggroChat #218 – Tam’s Broken Character

May 21, 2019August 26, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

Tonight we have the full group and end up talking mostly about World of Warcraft and the Battle For Azeroth expansion so far. If you listened last week… Tam became interested enough in the expansion that he renewed his account which lead to a whole sequence of events happening. One of which resulted in him finding out he had a hopelessly broken character. We talk about that event and the absolutely primo customer service he received as a result of it. We talk about the lack of players in War mode and how Blizzard apparently is planning on throwing more incentives towards playing in that fashion. We talk about our experiences in dungeons so far and how some seem way harder than others. We talk about the release of the Queen Azshara cinematic and what that maybe means for the future. We talk about how we are seeing some of the best storytelling in WoW’s history through this expansion. Tam presents an impassioned defense of playing “boring” humans in fantasy games, which leads to a discussion more about world building than anything else. Finally Kodra talks a bit about his new career in Glitchless Speedrunning primarily through VVVVVV, which turns into a discussion about speedrunning and the glitchless variant in particular.

Topics Discussed:

World of Warcraft
- How Tam Got His Groove Back
- Battle for Azeroth Expansion
- War Mode – Please Be Content
- Dungeon Experiences
- Queen Azshara Cinematic
Why Humans Are Great
The Letter F Six Times
- VVVVVV
- Glitchless Speedrunning

AggroChat #214 – Bribed to be Content

May 21, 2019July 29, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Thalen

Tonight we sit down and talk through our feelings about Battle For Azeroth and its fairly tone deaf ad campaign. We dig into the “It Matters” videos and how it feels fairly irresponsible at a time when our country and world is pulled apart already by some fairly serious points of division. We talk about how playing World of Warcraft should be a thing to bring people together rather than pull them apart. We also talk about the Warbringers video series and how we are afraid it is setting up Jaina, Sylvannas and Azshara to be the next set of raid bosses. Finally we talk briefly about the novel and event that are leading up to this expansion. At the tail end of the show we talk a bit about drafting M19 in Magic Arena and Bel’s nonsensical luck at pulling cards.

Topics Discussed

Battle For Azeroth
- The “It Matters” Ad Campaign
- The “Warbringers” video series
- The “Before the Storm” novelization
- The “War of the Thorns” quest event
Magic Arena
- Drafting M19

AggroChat #204 – Zeds, Mechs and Angst

May 21, 2019May 20, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Belghast, Grave, Tamrielo and Thalen

Tonight we are down both an Ashgar and a Kodra… and the intro felt really weird to start with Grace. Tonight we had one of those nights where we felt like we didn’t have an awful lot to talk about… but then wound up running over time anyways. Bel talks about his experiences with State of Decay 2 on both Xbox One and PC and how it has changed from the original. Grace talks about her experiences with the Warmind Destiny 2 expansion that then spawns a discussion about why we feel D2 has a bad attach rate. Bel and Grace talk about how not excited they are for Battle for Azeroth in World of Warcraft, but how otherwise generally awesome the experience of leveling alts has become. Tam and Thalen talk about their further experiences with Battletech and coming to terms with the random headshots.

Featured Topics:

State of Decay 2
Destiny 2 Warmind
- Bad Progression Design
World of Warcraft
- Battle for Azeroth Angst
- Excellent Alt Leveling
BattleTech

AggroChat #195 – Spectacular Nonsense

May 21, 2019March 18, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

The worst part about recording a podcast is trying to come up with a title for whatever the hell it was that we did the night before. We talk a bit about Belghast and his journeys into Phantasy Star Online 2. From there Bel talks a bit about Neverwinter and the Stronghold system. Tam talks a bit about streaming Dishonored Death of the Outsider which turns into a discussion about streaming in general. We have a group of people who have been playing Legend of Five Rings Online and we check in for an update how the game has been going. We talk a bit about Monster Hunter World now that Thalen and Grace have met Nergigante, which weirdly leads to some talks about Battle For Azeroth, Sea of Thieves and the desire for a Collaborative Sandbox game.
