Tigole talks some about WotLK and PvE/PvP

NimlothCQ · 08-08-2007, 11:23 AM

During Blizzcon, we were fortunate enough to get hold of Tigole for an interview on both his experiences as the Lead Game Designer as well as the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. He also talked a bit out how and what kind of feedback Blizzard was most interested in receiving in order to best and most efficiently improve WoW in a timely manner.

For those of you who have been frequenting these forums for years, I'm sure you will appreciate the part where he talks about going from being an outspoken gamer with regular rantings to being on the other side of the fence as a developer.

The video interview is up for viewing here!

is your site extremly slow?

NimlothCQ · 08-08-2007, 11:38 AM

it loads instantly for me, so I'm not sure what the deal is in your case

Guts · 08-08-2007, 11:41 AM

Should have just made a script of the interview. The loading is really long.

I always thought Tigole was the fat guy for some reason. Anyways, I think the Naxrammas idea is great. Most people never saw the inside of that dungeon let alone cleared it, and it provides and entry level 25-man which BC was missing big time.

I know what you guys are talking about - apparently Nimloth doesn't. The video seems to be loading fairly slow; I'll try to get a transcript of it written up asap.

I think people think that the image is the actual video... you have to click on the link on the bottom to actually get to it.

Hmm that shouldn't be the case - the video is embedded in the news article.

It doesn't show up as embedded to me, when I right-click for properties it shows it as an image file.

Yeah apparently a bug fix push for video embedding just bugged the hell out of video embedding, go figure. :P

It's supposed to be a youtube style video embedding, but right now it's just displaying an image with a link to the video below it. :/

well, like I said in the comments, you guys should really get some lapel mics.

Twobit Whore · 08-08-2007, 11:54 AM

I like the sound of the heroic badge loot change. Adding them to ZA and Kara bosses and adding in more items on the vendor should be good.

Quineloe · 08-08-2007, 11:54 AM

Same for me, I spent 2 minutes waiting until I realized the link goes somewhere else.

Yeah I agree. I'm going to push to get some proper mics after this. The sound is ok but not anywhere near where it should be.

Good interview, but that dude in the hat SUCKS at asking questions. He's nervous as hell and its near impossible to understand what he's saying since he mumbles everything.
