AggroChat #455 - Getting Krangled

AggroChat: Tales of the Aggronaut Podcast

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, and Thalen

Hey Folks! We are down essentially our entire Seattle contingency for assorted reasons that I don’t believe are actually connected. So we carry forward with our Central and Eastern Timezone folks and talk a bit about BlizzCon and how there was a wildly different energy surrounding the event. It feels like a new chapter for Blizzard is opening that may or may not have anything to do with the Microsoft acquisition. From there we talk a bit about the Krangled event and how bizarre it is to play with a randomized passive tree. Bel talks about the situation at Bungie and the general sense of dire straights for the Destiny franchise. Bel also talks a bit about easing back into Final Fantasy XIV and catching up on the post-Endwalker content. He has also been playing New World a bit and going through the expansion content while leveling to 65 and farming some new gear. Finally, we drive off into a discussion about the books that we have been reading and float the idea of a “Books of the Year” show similar to our “Games of the Year” show we often do.
