Bex has a distinct accent from the rural south of the south island of New Zealand. While there are some small variations in accent regionally and the 'maori english' accent such as the TV show bro-town, this is the only other strong accent found in New Zealand. It is a very small percentage of the population. Source: am from NZ.
e: Apparently not. Does sound very similar though.
The way I speak is pretty similar to the accent in parts of the South Island but I’ve lived in Auckland my whole life. I just talk dumb.

This kinda just blew my mind. I love reading these interviews, by the way -- keep them coming!
You may also be interested to know that Gravicius and the Shaper share a voice (Daryl Habraken). Piety and Aisling do too (Penny Ashton).
Thank you for trying, Bex. We appreciate you relaying our thoughts to the team. If I may, could you maybe ask them if possible to make Zerker the rampage class instead when they do the main rework? It fits thematically and there's already good items that have synergy (hopefully not too broken). I think it would work way better than Rage.
Or at the very least, remove/minimize the debuffs of rage because it seems really weird that this is the only ascendancy to have such negative drawbacks as part of it. Every other ascendancy has really nice buffs with little or no drawback at all. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback. I'll be sure to pass it on.
Betrayal ends at 10am Tuesday 5th of March and our 3.6.0 expansion launches on the 9th of March but the exact time has not been set yet. These are both represented in New Zealand's timezone.
let the teasers rain down!
Is this a teaser in and of itself?
I guess that's the fun thing about teasers. You never really know.
We’re announcing the 3.6.0 expansion one week from today. I wouldn’t expect substantial teasers before then because the information is currently embargoed with the press. However, once the announcement is out we can let the teasers rain down!
I spoke with the team earlier this week to check in where they’re at with the Berserker Ascendancy. They’ve indiciated that they’re aware of the feedback but won’t be able to squeeze any changes to it into 3.6.0. We are being very vigilant about scoping this expansion out. However, they do have some moderate changes planned for the class in 3.7.0. Naturally, the expansion does include a slew of other balance changes but you’ll just have to wait and see. One week to go!
All right then. Keep your secrets.
LOL <3
We've got 2 numbers to go by I'm sure we could all work together and bring back the cringe.
If anyone was going to go through this insane effort I would expect it to be you.
TIL: Chris lives in his office.
You must be new here :P
Great interview. Bex is definitely someone I look upto as someone with an interest in community management. She's a Gold standard for a CM. Keep it up Bex, here's to many more years. 🍻
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much. That means a lot to me.
So all that rumor that Bex is Chris's sister was a big hoax that spread too much?
People have always confused me with many other staff who work here. Chris' sister does work here with us but we are not related.
Fun Fact, I have a Becks box under my desk that I keep pens and papers in.
Wait, so who came up with the questions for Bex then, if she's the one being interviewed?
NeverSink and I asked for more questions on my Twitter.
How many gifs do you have ready at any given time?
Don't let your memes be dreams, Bex! (we want more memes, we can never have enough)
We don't deserve Bex <3
