Ask Gauss

Sunday, and the first Sunday in awhile without Walking Dead, but no worries Game of Thrones is on its way soon enough. There are other things to do on Sunday though, one of them being checking out what questions I am answering this week. So why don't we get right to that.

So what do you think of the Heroes Weekend?

I think it is a great opportunity to show off the game and to allow players to play some heroes in actual games they are thinking about. It is like a free week hero to the maximum. The XP bonus also allows players to get these heroes to level 5 as quickly as possible so players can hop right into Hero League. I really think Blizzard wants players to get into Hero League and shy away from quick match for the most part. This lets their Matchmaking system work to the best of it's ability.

So they have known the Final Fantasy XV release date of over 2 years, why just tell us now?

Well I think this is the way most games are. They have an objective and they work towards it. Things can change over time and instead of changing the date again and again they keep it to themselves till they know for sure. Just think of all the outcry that happens when companies change release dates. It is not like all of us gamers so "good for you, take your time we can wait". No it is more like "Do your job and release it when you said you will or I will never buy a game from you all again." So it the companies mind it is just a safer bet to wait.

Whispers of the Old Gods seems very RNG no?

That is the point, I believe.

There they are questions all answered. Thank you to everyone who has sent one in, this would not be possible without all of your contributions. Now you have my permission to enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sunday! Yes it is that time of the week once again. Also if you were not aware it is the last weekend of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Had to point that out because if I don't all of you Southern Hemisphere love to point it out to me. Enough of the blabbing though let's get on with why all of you are here today for and that is the questions.

So with the new Heroes Announcement do you think that we will see another Starcraft Hero again?

I think so and I hope it is Fenix just like everyone else does. Also hope at some point we get Swann and Karax at some point as well. Really though with the other hero I kind of hope to see a Starcraft themed map as well. Think it would add something to the game that is missing.

Opinions on Whispers of the Old Gods?

I am liking the card abilities. I think it adds some more strategy to the game where I think the last 2 expansions seemed to add luck through things being random. This can be fun to watch, but then can be extremely frustrating to play. Also will be interesting to see the card art for N'zoth and Y'Shaarj since we have never seen what they look like in Warcraft to begin with.

Really Bottlecaps?

Yes really.

There they are the questions for the week. Hope you all got something out of it in one way or another. Enjoy your last weekend of Winter/Summer wherever you are.
