Blizzard Watch Podcast Uncut: WoW UI changes make it harder to change our UI
Added 2025-10-30 22:29:23 +0000 UTCThis week in the preshow we talked a lot about other games -- what we've played, what we've liked, and what our various unplayed games are.
Also, Liz has finally caught on to my master scheme of recommending her good games on Steam, so someone else's account is just as much a disorganized mess as mine is. If you prefer your podcast meal without an appetizer, jump to 28:58 to skip the preshow.
If you thought we were going to talk about something other than changes coming to WoW in Midnight this week, you must be new, so hi, welcome to the podcast. The UI changes, specifically the changes that make it harder for us to change our own UI, was front and center. The hosts talked about the accessibility issues this could present, but personally I just think Friz Quadrata is ugly and would prefer my fonts sans their serifs. One slightly more important, both valid, and both currently a much tougher proposition.
This week we had writer Liz Patt as our guest host, so it was a Diablorama, with the D4 PTR hitting servers. As discussed last week we are somewhat uncertain, to put it diplomatically, about the changes coming. From potion charges to seasonal journey changes -- including the names -- everything seems much more catered to a harder core than our squishy middles would prefer. We were glad Liz was on hand to not only relate her PTR experience, but explain everything in a way that us non-Diablites can understand.
Plus, there's a new Steam sale and our wallets are yet again groaning -- this time with terror? Happy Halloween!
