Scattered Shots: Hunter Q&A Part 1
Filed under: Hunter, Patches, Analysis / Opinion, Blizzard, Interviews, Forums, (Hunter) Scattered Shots
Good day folks and welcome to Scattered Shots. The column that takes a good look at what it takes to be a Hunter in the World of Warcraft. I am Eddie “Brigwyn” Carrington from the Hunting Lodge. This week we’ll be reviewing the recently released Hunter Q&A.
Hunter Q&A was like the other Class Q&As, a mixed bag of frustration, tease, and interesting concepts. It shouldn’t be a surprise that we didn’t get the details we wanted. Nor should it be a complete shock to you that some Hunters would feel disconnected between what players want versus what the Developers are concentrating on. Given all that, I still felt that this Q&A was overall pretty decent.
There is so much to review and discuss I’ve decided to break the Q&A out into 2 parts. Here’s a quick highlight of the main things discussed in Part 1:
- Developers feel Survival Hunter spec is currently performing within normal operating parameters.
- Crowd Control still needs work.
- PvP has a big influence on PvE Class Balance
- Ammo remains a consumable because of technical difficulties.
- Ammo is a focus point on Hunter damage progression.
- Blizzard is hoping to cut the cost of Ammo to address the cost burden for Hunters.
- The Hunter “No Fire” zone will remain in effect.
- Development considers enhancing Hunter melee attacks.
All that is just in Part 1! So let’s see what Ghostcrawler had to say.

Dan Jolley talks about TOKYOPOP’s Death Knight manga
Filed under: Blizzard, News items, Expansions, Interviews, Death Knight, Comics
Things have been a little bit quiet on the manga front, but not for long. Warcraft Legends editor Troy Lewter has pinned down Dan Jolley, writer for the forthcoming Thassarian-centric volume Warcraft: Death Knight, and posted the interview with him on the official TOKYOPOP site.
To be fair, the interview is not as focused on the manga as the one we did with Jolley a couple of months ago but it does look at how writing for the anthology volumes of the series compare with a longer story. Lewter also quizzes Jolley about how he got into the business and the last question about sharks and bears is also worth the read alone.
For those waiting on the release of Warcraft: Death Knight, it might give some new insight into how manga happens. Don’t forget, you can also check out our interviews with both Dan Jolley and Troy Lewter.

Censorship is fun!
Hey guys, heres a new Third Faction comic for your brain organs to digest. I figured it was about time to address this whole “censorship” in gaming issue by illustrating it in a humorous, comical, manner. Whether or not its humorous or comical is up for debate; but the issue itself is addressed. Enjoy! TTF - Manhunt 2 -MaTT

That’s the last money question that I have. You work with all of these actors, the first season it was like you were kind of the face of the show, and you were talking to everybody, and the other actors have kind of come up. And this BlizzCon I think is one of the first ones where people are really diving in and saying this person is my favorite, I really want to talk to Robin, I really want to talk to Jeff. You wrote the stuff, you even talked on the panel as well about how the actors are kind of taking over your characters. How has that been, in terms of how your actors are becoming the characters you’re writing about?
As of the third season, I’ve written them hundreds of pages, at this point. So they’ve as actors really helped me define, it’s kind of a metamorphosis. Every TV show, if you watch a pilot, a lot of characters change a lot, from the time they do that first pilot. For this one, the actors though, they bring so much to the table, Jeff and Sandeep do a lot of improv, and ad-lib a lot, they’re adding a lot of ideas with their characters. At the same time, honestly, I’ve been pushing them forward as far as press and stuff and meeting fans and stuff, because I’m out there on the Internet a lot, I get sick of myself, honestly, I’m sure some of your readers are like, “I hate this girl.”
[Laughs] No! They do have trolling tendencies.
Which is cool, they will, but that’s cool, everybody doesn’t have to love me. [laughs]
