So, It has been a minute since I've done an interview. I brought all the interviews over, cleaned them up but figured it was time to bring out this new one I've been sitting on for months now :( I know I know... I suck sometimes. But without more time spent. Here you are!
====GENERAL GAMING QUESTION:====
1.What was the first console you owned?
-An Atari 2600! My dad and I would play a game where you maneuvered tanks against the ai. It was a blast! No idea what the name is though...
2.What current consoles do you own?
-Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC
3.What was the first game you played?
-The first game I ever really "played" was Super Mario Brothers for the NES - (And I guess, Duck Hunt too!)
4.What is your favorite game that you still play?
-World of Warcraft most likely - started playing in the beta in 2004 and have played it ever since.
5.Can you share your best rage moments?
-I'm not much of a rager at games, more at people, though, I do have a ton of salt... I'd likely point to the time in WoW Vanilla where I was supposed to get a piece of gear I wanted very badly (the eye off of majordomo for the final piece of the priest staff) and it got ninja'd to someone else. I was definitely unhappy!
6.Most prized gaming collectible
-I have a copy of the original Bastion Soundtrack signed by Darren Korb. I also have a few pieces of World of Warcraft memorabilia from BlizzCon that are very dear to me as well.
7.What new game are you most excited for?
-Right now, I'd say I'm the most excited for Humankind or Diablo 4! I really hope D4 is as great as it can be!
8.What is your preferred gaming system?
-I love PC! I've been a PC gamer since my dad bought an IBM PS/2 when I was young and I played Carmen Sandiego and Simcity on it!
9.What got you into gaming? - Question by Grandgreg13
-Definitely my parents love for trying out new technology - I ended up getting really hooked by Mario games and RPGs and I haven't been able to stop!
=====TITANCONQUEST QUESTIONS:======
1.What is your favorite class of Hero?
-There are classes!? JK, Augur or bust, fite me.
2.When did you join TitanConquest?
-June 24, 2020
3.Where did you get your Username from?
-I've been using this handle since I was a kid! I am a giant Star Wars fan, and I think this was an amalgamation from a star wars horror book? I think it was path of the force and I just said Forcepath and here we are!
4.How long did it take you to reach 99?
-16 days, 6hours, 4minutes, 20 seconds. I definitely liked TC but didn't really get into it until near the end of my grind.
5.what is your favorite feature on TC? (bounties, missions, story, enemies, ETC?)
-Well, originally I liked bargain shopping for better gear because it reminded me of path of exile, but what I really like is the grind and being able to set goals that are bigger than just "I do this in one day", and finding mathematical ways to back up my planning to do things better.
Otherwise, I really like the chat and the community.
6.What clan are you currently part of?
-Iron Razr v1 (FAZE)
7.If you could ADD one thing to the game, what would it be?
-I'd like to see further progression systems beyond GT, that don't rely on hero growth/power specifically. I am not a dev though, all my ideas smell bad
8.If you could REMOVE one thing from the game, what would it be?
-Hero Shops! Let me explain - they really remove one of the key end-game grinds (DR 99) which really shortens the game, and really consolidates AC wealth to a disparately small portion of the playerbase.
I would also consider removing the ability to enrage/enrage null, but man would that make the grind even harder for AP!
9.what are you most excited to see come to TC next?
-You know, minions sound really cool. Anything that adds complexity and choice to TC is a-ok in my book. it's fun to be able to math things out, but i love it when a game is just as much about 'feel'
10.If you could change the name of the Vanguards name. What would you name them?
-Guardians of the Galaxy
11.What is your favorite achievement and Triumph?
-My favorite achievement is Lucky 7's because I don't have it.
I actually really like the HM Zeus achievement. It's a really cool idea.
12.What is an achievement and/or Triumph you would like to see?
-Miss 3 supers in a row.
I'm not bitter.
13.What achievement did you spend the most time on?
-200 Cards for sure - unless you count getting to AP, in which case, it's that one.
14.How did you find TitanConquest?
-I have a discord group of guys and they were like "hey force, check this game out!" so I did, and they all quit playing but I stuck around. Lucky for you guys! ;)
15.How long have you been around firestreams games?
-This is my first one!
16.Can I take the server hamster home for the summer? - Question from Kronos1307
-Only if you give it beer and a good nap. But don't, because hamsters shouldn't drink beer. Keep the beer, give 'em some lettuce or something.
17.Favorite TC player? - Question from Conquestlord
-It's a trap!
18.Do you think Mount Olympus is too hard or too easy to get to? or just right?
-I think it's a great intro challenge to the end-game and wouldn't like to see it be made easier.
19.How do you think we could get more active players and get more people to stick around?
-I think the introduction to the game could use a lot of work - we get a lot of questions about the game starting off and figuring out what people do/don't like about the early game would definitely help make the tutorial more focused and clearer. Also, making sure that players understand that they can use the wiki/global chat is by far the best resource to get them going - there's a lot of available resource to get people into it, just doesn't seem like new players always realize that. Maybe a newbie friendly chat too, where new players could ask questions until they get to like...level 50 or 2 hours played or something, where it's a select curated group of players who can answer early questions and keep them from feeling overwhelmed in global.
20.Who in TC do you think is the strongest/most powerful? A question from Pirolamb
-It's another trap! Do you think he's a big guy? It's probably Cloud.
21.Why do you think Pure fire is the coolest in the game? - Question from Pure fire x2
-I think pure fire is a person who is cool in the game because he is cool.

-I'm a man, man.
