Pre-Patch Launches Today!

1
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:00,860
The hunt begins.

2
00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:06,680
Name that character, huh?
Welcome folks. This show is made

3
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,440
for you. The casual, those
working 9 to 5 over the weekend,

4
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,040
your parents, whatever it is,
this place is for you. We are your

5
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,920
hosts. My name is Jibs and I'm
joined by Cash.

6
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Yeah, Cash is here. And no
insult today.

7
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,400
Oh, I forgot. I always forget.
It's unintentional. I really don't

8
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:29,720
mean to.

9
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,600
That's okay. I'm sure you will
find some kind of very poignant point

10
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,440
of the show. A poignant point
to insult me. And I will have a tasty

11
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,560
retort for you, sir. Anyway,
hello to the peeps. I'm happy to

12
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,000
be here.

13
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Oh, how you doing, buddy?
What's newing for you for Warcraft

14
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,400
this week?

15
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,720
New for me in Warcraft this
week. Let's see. I spent a majority

16
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,640
of yesterday doing a massive
inventory purge of tons of old mats

17
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,000
that I didn't need that I had
sitting in my bank, including a lot

18
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,410
of the mats that are war
within specific. Just purged them,

19
00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:12,930
you know, auction house type
stuff. Made quite a bit of gold doing

20
00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:16,770
that, which was nice. And they
sold real quick. So if you're looking

21
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:19,170
to make some space and you
have some old mats, like that's the

22
00:02:19,170 --> 00:02:23,690
way to do it. Just some
organization of stuff to clear out

23
00:02:23,690 --> 00:02:29,050
inventories and get stuff
ready to go for pre patch. And I

24
00:02:29,050 --> 00:02:32,930
did a little bit more working
the market and being amazed at how

25
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:40,940
my jacuzzis can go from 20,000
to like 4,000 in the course of one

26
00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:46,020
day. When you're cutting the
market, it just. Just rolling with

27
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:48,940
it, you know, I'm like, yeah,
whatever. It is what it is. It's.

28
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:52,340
It's gold that's getting made
anyway, so it sucks, but, you know,

29
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:58,180
kind of is what it is. Yeah,
let's see. Oh, also, I. I did some

30
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:04,860
dabbling on my hunter and a
new. New rogue, which was nuts. It

31
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:07,300
was nuts because you were.
Dude, you were in Discord and we

32
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:12,100
were talking about this. I
think I had like eight rogues over

33
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:12,580
the years.

34
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:15,540
Eight rogues. What's the
matter with this guy?

35
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:20,420
Yeah, I murdered all of them.
Except for the. Except for the. My.

36
00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:23,820
I have one that's. I have one
that's 80 and I just wanted that

37
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:27,020
fresh experience, so I rolled
another one. But I. You really figure

38
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:29,940
out why you end up with so
many dang characters and so many

39
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:32,740
of the same archetype is just
because I like that new experience

40
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,880
to reroll if I'm thinking
about playing a character. But last

41
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:47,000
thing I did is I have been
watching videos on the state of Resto

42
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,720
Druid and it has put more wind
beneath my sails. So as of now, I

43
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,920
will not be changing my
character for Midnight.

44
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,740
Oh, you're locked in. You
heard it first.

45
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:05,140
Locked. Yeah, buddy, I think
I'm locked. Just the changes are

46
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:07,540
really good. Resto Druid's
looking really, really good for the

47
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:11,860
patch. So I think I'm. I'm
just gonna stay in it and see how

48
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:16,099
the healing feels. And I did.
I heard one thing and this one thing

49
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:20,580
really clicked with me. It was
that Resto Druid healing in Midnight

50
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:25,540
is a lot of fun. And I went,
not like it's not now because I really

51
00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:29,790
enjoy it. But it was like,
okay, if with the changes they made,

52
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:33,870
it retains the fun factor. I'm
staying. Yeah, I'm in.

53
00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:37,110
Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome.
Well, good, dude. Locked in.

54
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:37,550
Wow.

55
00:04:37,630 --> 00:04:43,950
Here the recording of episode
17. You are calling it out for Midnight

56
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:48,790
for you. Okay. I had a great
week. I got a. I got a message from

57
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:52,910
Curseforge shout out to the
content community manager over there

58
00:04:53,170 --> 00:04:58,570
was such a sweet person, so
kind and they notified me that my

59
00:04:58,570 --> 00:05:03,170
add on is currently being
featured on Curse Forge discovery

60
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:06,530
panel for the carousel at the
top for World of Warcraft add ons,

61
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:11,050
which was such a surprise, so
unexpected, honestly. When I saw

62
00:05:11,050 --> 00:05:13,410
it, I'm like, what is this?
Like, why am I getting. Did someone

63
00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:16,330
hack my account or something?
And there it was. And I was like,

64
00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:19,810
that's awesome, man. And I've
been watching the downloads, just

65
00:05:19,810 --> 00:05:23,990
seeing people download it and
I hope it's working out great again.

66
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:27,990
I don't know, like, people's
real thoughts on it, but I, I love

67
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:32,030
that people are downloading it
and giving it a try and yeah, so

68
00:05:32,030 --> 00:05:34,550
that was really unexpected and
honestly, really, really special.

69
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:37,270
So, yeah, it was so cool.

70
00:05:37,349 --> 00:05:41,510
I love that. I love that and
I'm glad it was an email like, yeah,

71
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:45,990
we found some source code in
your add on that is breaking our

72
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:49,210
servers, so we're going to ask
that you pull it down. As a matter

73
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:52,010
of fact, we pulled it down for
you and we're gonna need you to remake

74
00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:56,010
it. But no, it wasn't that
completely opposite and I think that's

75
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:59,690
freaking amazing that they
reached out to you. Yeah, super cool.

76
00:05:59,690 --> 00:06:03,050
Yeah, thanks. And so I too was
in the.

77
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:03,450
The.

78
00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:06,890
Well, I hit one mil gold. So
that happened literally right after

79
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:09,570
we recorded the last episode.
This is old news to you, but it's

80
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:12,890
new to them. I finally hit my
goal of 1 mil which is great. Literally

81
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:16,340
the week before pre patch.
I'll take that now on to 2 million.

82
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:20,980
And so that. That was cool.
And to be honest with you, that I

83
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:25,500
took a break. Like I didn't do
any gold making. None. I just sat

84
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,340
on my loins and figured out my
class for midnight. So I was doing

85
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:33,820
the exact same thing you were.
And it came down to. Because, you

86
00:06:33,820 --> 00:06:36,340
know, you talked about rogues.
Yes, we made rogues. So I did that.

87
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,060
I got that up to 80. And the
more and more I'm playing, the more

88
00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:43,160
I'm thinking, I'm like, I made
the comment how. How chill do I want

89
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,760
my gameplay to be last
episode? And I'm like, I think I

90
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,320
want it to be more chill chill
than this. And this is great. It's

91
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,560
fun. I'm having a great time.
I'm just like, man, I'm really kind

92
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,640
of looking for something a
little more chill. And you know,

93
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000
for me, like some people like,
well, rogue is chill. Well, for me

94
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,360
personally, I'm speaking. And.
And so I'm like, okay. So I axed

95
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,620
that character name changed.
So I went and tried a hunter name

96
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:14,780
changed the deleted the rogue,
took his name and put it on the hunter

97
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:20,300
and got that up to 80 and
which, you know, it. It's so fast,

98
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:22,500
like with everything that
they've got in place and this is

99
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:26,460
before catch up and stuff. And
so like, I mean it took like 7 hours

100
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:30,620
and 50 minutes. Ish. And I was
like not going super hard the whole

101
00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:33,020
time at all. Like that was.
That probably could have been down

102
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:38,670
to six or less. But like, so
did that got him up to 80. I'm like,

103
00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:42,510
okay. And I tried survival
during that whole leveling process.

104
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:46,470
I had never done survival
ever. So I did that. I'm like, okay,

105
00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:48,750
okay. This is fun. This is
cool. This is definitely scratching

106
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:50,910
that melee itch, which was
what I was really looking for out

107
00:07:50,910 --> 00:07:53,910
of a rogue. And I'm like,
well, hang on a minute. I love all

108
00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:56,390
these specs because I love
playing marksman. I've always enjoyed

109
00:07:56,390 --> 00:08:00,150
marksman. And I definitely
love having a pet when it comes to

110
00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:05,190
BMW. And so I'm like, okay.
And it came down to do I want to

111
00:08:05,190 --> 00:08:08,030
play Priest, which I love the
Shadow Priest. I've come to love

112
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:11,590
that. And I love healing in
arenas and that's fun. Just for sometimes

113
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:16,190
for kicks and giggles. Or do I
play Hunter and I'm like, you know

114
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:21,710
what? I think I'm going
Hunter. So I'm locked in for. I don't

115
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:24,350
like making these like, hard
lines because this never goes well.

116
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:26,790
I can hear Stark already. For
those of you who don't know, Stark's

117
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:28,830
a close friend of ours and
always gives us crap. And we love

118
00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:31,830
him dearly and equally from
him as well, so. But anyway, I'm

119
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:34,310
going Hunter for midnight.
That's my rant.

120
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:39,750
He's not the only one that
gives you crap over your character

121
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:40,470
ocd.

122
00:08:40,710 --> 00:08:41,910
That's true, essentially.

123
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:47,030
Yeah. Well, here, here's the
surprising part. You leveled up your

124
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:47,590
rogue.

125
00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:49,230
Yeah. Or yeah.

126
00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:50,030
A rogue.

127
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:50,470
Yeah.

128
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:53,790
And I'm sure you did all the
things with transmog. I'm sure he

129
00:08:53,790 --> 00:08:58,030
was looking absolutely
amazing, flawless. And he probably

130
00:08:58,030 --> 00:09:02,790
had a character backstory and
everything already rocking. Okay.

131
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:03,950
I know you very well.

132
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:04,590
Yeah.

133
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:10,270
You filled this poor rogue's
heart with hopes and dreams.

134
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:10,910
Yeah.

135
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:12,830
Of being in the spotlight.

136
00:09:12,830 --> 00:09:13,390
I know.

137
00:09:14,270 --> 00:09:16,550
And then you killed him.

138
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:19,870
I killed him mercilessly. Took
him in an alley, hit him with a lead

139
00:09:19,870 --> 00:09:25,160
pipe in the ballroom. Murder
with Mrs. White. Yep.

140
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,360
Holy moly. Well, I mean, I
can't say I think the impressive

141
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,680
part is that you, this week,
you leveled two characters. 80. That

142
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,520
is nuts.

143
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,240
A little bit.

144
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,880
And I know to some it's
probably not nuts, but.

145
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Yeah.

146
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Not casual.

147
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,520
No jibs. No, it wasn't. I
would got after it for sure. I look

148
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,880
forward to do the upcoming
weekend because I have a three day

149
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,020
weekend. So. Yeah, I. It was
fun though, honestly, it was good

150
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:56,740
for me because I. It had come
down truthfully, this whole time

151
00:09:56,740 --> 00:10:00,260
leading up to it was really
trying to figure out my class and

152
00:10:00,260 --> 00:10:04,260
I said this to our friends,
but I. I say, and I know we said

153
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:08,060
this live on the air last week
and I would say it again. I think

154
00:10:08,060 --> 00:10:11,860
if there's ever a time when
Blizzard does a massive round of

155
00:10:11,860 --> 00:10:15,980
class changes like this, and
it's all testable leading up to this

156
00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:19,610
point, that I would encourage
others. I know we've talked about

157
00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:23,570
it, but getting on there just
to try out these, these classes because

158
00:10:23,570 --> 00:10:29,890
I have lived literally by
YouTube videos just trying to get

159
00:10:29,890 --> 00:10:32,649
an understanding of where
things are going and. And that led

160
00:10:32,649 --> 00:10:37,530
me to Priest and ultimately it
came between Priest and Hunter and

161
00:10:37,690 --> 00:10:41,050
I'm just waiting at this
point. So like today, when the patch

162
00:10:41,050 --> 00:10:44,090
comes out as release day of
this Episode, the patch is going

163
00:10:44,090 --> 00:10:49,090
to drop in. All of us, you,
myself, all our friends and listeners

164
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:52,650
are experiencing these class
changes, I guess a lot. You know,

165
00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:56,250
there's, there's, there's a
lot of things we're going to be doing

166
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:56,610
here.

167
00:10:57,170 --> 00:11:00,250
These are not small class
changes. I mean they made, they completely

168
00:11:00,250 --> 00:11:06,130
gutted some classes. They made
a lot of critical changes to pretty

169
00:11:06,130 --> 00:11:09,490
much the whole gamut to try
and streamline the player experience.

170
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:14,190
So I think I'm with you there
and I think especially as content

171
00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:19,270
creators, if we are going to.
And it's funny that it's taken us

172
00:11:19,270 --> 00:11:22,710
so many years to kind of
figure this out, but changes are

173
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:29,550
made in World of Warcraft so
rapidly that it feels like we are

174
00:11:29,550 --> 00:11:33,830
doing you a disservice if we
don't check those things out. At

175
00:11:33,830 --> 00:11:37,190
least to give you, in a
roundabout way, hey, this is how

176
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:40,030
we feel about this. Or hey, I
tried this and it was really good.

177
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,760
So yeah, maybe moving forward,
you know, we jump into the, into

178
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,160
the beta, public beta and the,
in the test servers and just try

179
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,080
some stuff out a little bit. I
think I probably should have done

180
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,560
that, but I did. You know,
there are some great videos out there

181
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:57,360
too. So I don't think what you
did by going to YouTube and looking

182
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,240
at those things is, is a bad
route, but to feel it for yourself.

183
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,440
Yeah. And you know, we've,
we've experienced it with some, with

184
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520
some of our friends that have
played a lot of the beta and like

185
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,690
they're every day they're
switching classes. Oh, stuff out.

186
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:15,890
Yeah, yeah. I mean they were
you. And you heard it every night,

187
00:12:15,890 --> 00:12:18,850
you know, like people just
trying to land, figuring out where

188
00:12:18,850 --> 00:12:22,370
they're going to land. And
this entire time, like obviously

189
00:12:22,370 --> 00:12:24,930
Blizzard is making updates
right. To these classes and so they're

190
00:12:24,930 --> 00:12:29,890
like daily changing their main
because of the way that these changes

191
00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:32,370
are working out. One day it
was, wow, Rogue's doing great for

192
00:12:32,370 --> 00:12:35,690
this person. The next day
Rogue's not looking so hot. So it

193
00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:38,970
was a constant roller coaster
ride for all of our, our friend base.

194
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,040
And yeah, it's. Man, oh man, I
tell you, it's exciting. Like, this

195
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:50,040
is, this is like, this is like
Warcraft taking that first step to

196
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,760
the great change that is
Midnight. You know, it's exciting.

197
00:12:55,079 --> 00:12:58,240
Yeah. And I know like as we
close and get into the show, I, I

198
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,840
do want to publicly
congratulate you on a pretty kick

199
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,400
ass week.

200
00:13:05,860 --> 00:13:07,540
Oh, dude, thank you, dude.

201
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:11,020
Two characters to 80, like you
got some good playtime. Two characters

202
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:14,820
80, you hit your one mil and
you're working on two mil, which

203
00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:18,860
really would like to start
working on the one mil thing in real

204
00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:21,539
life. That'd be a fun idea.

205
00:13:21,539 --> 00:13:22,100
Yeah.

206
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:25,220
And you got your add on featured.

207
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:25,900
Yeah.

208
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:26,820
On Curse Forge.

209
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:30,980
It was a great week and I
started a new job. So there's. There's

210
00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:33,010
that last week. Yeah. So there's.

211
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:37,010
Yeah, yeah. She did all right,
man. I'm all pumped up. This is gonna

212
00:13:37,010 --> 00:13:38,210
be a good show, folks.

213
00:13:38,210 --> 00:13:41,650
This week on the episode we
got a brand new podcast that we need

214
00:13:41,650 --> 00:13:45,050
to welcome to the wonderful
World of Warcraft community. And

215
00:13:45,050 --> 00:13:48,650
we're gonna be talk talking
about this World of Warcraft as a

216
00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:53,730
solo experience. Continue our
lore lesson series and talk pre patch

217
00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:57,170
hype. And all this starts
right after the lore lesson. We'll

218
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:57,810
be right back.

219
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:06,940
In the earliest ages of the
universe, the most widespread forms

220
00:14:06,940 --> 00:14:12,700
of life were elemental
spirits. These beings, aligned with

221
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:20,300
fire, water, earth, and air,
emerged naturally on most physical

222
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:25,840
worlds. They were volatile,
powerful, and closely bound to the

223
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:31,840
unstable forces that dominated
early creation. In far more rare

224
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,920
circumstances, fragments of
the light coalesced into sentient

225
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:43,400
entities. These beings became
known as the Naaru, creatures of

226
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:49,160
pure, holy energy who traveled
the cosmos using their power to sustain

227
00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:56,050
and encourage life beyond.
Both Elementals and the Naaru were

228
00:14:56,050 --> 00:15:05,369
the extraordinary Titans.
Within the cores of a small number

229
00:15:05,369 --> 00:15:11,930
of planets, immense spirits
called world souls formed. These

230
00:15:12,010 --> 00:15:17,020
nascent Titans slept for ages,
their presence shaping the worlds

231
00:15:17,020 --> 00:15:22,260
around them long before
awakening. As we've discussed, the

232
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:28,340
first of these beings to
awaken was Aman'. Thul. After awakening,

233
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:33,500
Aman' thul began searching the
universe for other world souls. When

234
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:38,500
he found them, he guided their
development until some awakened as

235
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:44,860
Titans. Together, these beings
formed the Pantheon, united in their

236
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:47,066
search for others of their
kind. I remember unity. Through this

237
00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:47,086
journey, the Titans determined
that order was essential to identifying

238
00:15:47,086 --> 00:15:47,106
worlds that might contain
world souls. On each planet they

239
00:15:47,106 --> 00:15:47,122
encountered, they subdued the
elemental populations, reshaped the

240
00:15:47,122 --> 00:15:47,140
world's geography, and
introduced life in a controlled manner.

241
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:40,800
Theseefforts were intended to
stabilize worlds and encourage dormant

242
00:14:40,800 --> 00:15:19,820
Titans to awaken. However,
most worlds contained no world souls.

243
00:15:19,820 --> 00:15:47,134
Nevertheless, the pantheon
chose to preserve them. Theyempowered

244
00:14:06,918 --> 00:14:30,039
native life forms to maintain
planetary stability and installed

245
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:55,729
vast machines that allowed
them to observe each world's natural

246
00:14:55,729 --> 00:15:18,850
development and erase life if
disorder became irreversible. Very

247
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:44,540
well, you asked for it.
Commencing re origination of entire

248
00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:47,109
universe. Butunknown to the
Titans, powerful beings within the

249
00:14:28,114 --> 00:15:00,300
Void had been observing their
actions. Let them face the void.

250
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:35,412
These entities, known as the
Void Lords, sought to corrupt a Titan

251
00:15:35,412 --> 00:15:47,116
before it could awaken.
Unableto enter the physical universe

252
00:14:23,578 --> 00:15:03,541
directly. The Void Lords cast
fragments of their power into reality.

253
00:15:03,541 --> 00:15:36,238
These dark entities spread
across the cosmos, corrupting the

254
00:15:36,238 --> 00:15:47,137
worlds they struck. Intime,
they would become to be known as

255
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:46,114
the Old Gods. They know not
what they face. At this stage, the

256
00:15:46,114 --> 00:15:46,666
Titans were unaware of both
the Void Lords and the Old Gods.

257
00:15:46,666 --> 00:15:47,080
Their attention was drawn
instead to more immediate threats.

258
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,126
Demons. Demonsarose from the
twisting nether, a realm formed by

259
00:14:34,700 --> 00:15:07,620
the interaction of light and
void energies. These beings embraced

260
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:37,248
destruction and fell magic,
invading the physical universe and

261
00:15:37,248 --> 00:15:47,124
devastating mortal worlds.
Theyappeared in many forms, including

262
00:14:20,368 --> 00:14:48,250
Dreadlords, Pit Lords,
Infernals, and Void Hounds. I will

263
00:14:48,250 --> 00:15:19,230
leave nothing of them to
continue. To contain this threat,

264
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:47,112
the Pantheon sent Titans to
combat the demonic invasions. Whilethese

265
00:14:09,584 --> 00:14:48,604
Titans waged war, the Pantheon
continued their search. Though ages

266
00:14:48,604 --> 00:15:23,722
passed without success, they
remained convinced that other world

267
00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:47,134
souls existed. Their belief
proved correct. Ina distant region

268
00:14:12,868 --> 00:14:46,132
of the great dark beyond, a
new world was forming. Deep within

269
00:14:46,132 --> 00:15:16,624
its core, an immense world
soul developed, one far more powerful

270
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:47,116
than any encountered before.
This world would be known as Azeroth.

271
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:35,638
AsAzeroth matured, elemental
spirits dominated its surface. The

272
00:14:35,638 --> 00:15:13,258
planet's vast world soul
absorbed much of the fifth Element

273
00:15:13,258 --> 00:15:43,354
spirit, which normally
maintained the balance among the

274
00:15:43,354 --> 00:15:47,116
elements. Withoutit,
Azeroth's elemental forces descended

275
00:14:22,852 --> 00:14:50,948
into chaos. The Pantheon
recognized Azeroth as exceptional,

276
00:14:50,948 --> 00:15:22,556
and they understood that
reaching her before other forces

277
00:15:22,556 --> 00:15:47,140
did would determine the future
of creation.

278
00:19:39,460 --> 00:19:40,200
Hey, this is Whitus.

279
00:19:53,490 --> 00:19:57,650

284
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:23,429
Heroes Call Friends. One of
the things we like to do here at

285
00:20:23,429 --> 00:20:28,510
Azeroth Morning Radio is
highlight and congratulate community

286
00:20:28,590 --> 00:20:32,910
members out there when they
make some really cool things. You

287
00:20:32,910 --> 00:20:38,600
know how we do business here.
So this week we want to congratulate

288
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,720
a brand new podcast from
somebody who's listened to our show

289
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,520
and sent us correspondence in
the past. As a matter of fact, it

290
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,840
was last week or the week
before. The week before, I think

291
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,920
Rack had sent us some
correspondence that we covered and

292
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,800
actually got to Talking to us
a little bit about the idea that

293
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,700
him and a buddy had about
starting their own show, and they

294
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:06,780
followed through. So we'd like
to welcome to the podcast space for

295
00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:13,060
World of Warcraft. Ready check
with rack and kale. And no, it's

296
00:21:13,060 --> 00:21:16,619
not like the green kale that
you would mistakenly put in your

297
00:21:16,619 --> 00:21:20,900
salad. It's K A E L. And I'll
tell you what, I got a chance to

298
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:26,100
listen to their first episode
and it was a lot of fun. It's very

299
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:29,850
similar to Jibs and I's
friendship. You can. You can sense

300
00:21:29,850 --> 00:21:33,330
their friendship. They're both
longtime players of the game and

301
00:21:33,330 --> 00:21:40,010
you can feel it. So to both of
you, keep on keeping on, have a good

302
00:21:40,010 --> 00:21:44,610
time with it. Consistency is
key, and if you ever need help, reach

303
00:21:44,610 --> 00:21:44,970
out.

304
00:21:45,049 --> 00:21:48,930
That's right. That's right. I
love the episode. I love the show,

305
00:21:48,930 --> 00:21:51,890
the vibe immediately, right
off the bat, everything you said,

306
00:21:51,890 --> 00:21:54,410
you know, you feel their
friendship and you're just like,

307
00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:58,060
this is gonna be a good show.
This is one of those things that

308
00:21:58,060 --> 00:22:01,700
I honestly look forward to
seeing it develop over time and seeing

309
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:06,580
how they grow and. Yeah.
Welcome to. Welcome to the podcasting

310
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:08,660
sphere, friends. Congrats.
You've been bitten by the podcasting

311
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:11,180
bug. See you in 13 years.
Because you'll probably still be

312
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:11,620
doing it.

313
00:22:12,660 --> 00:22:17,780
That's right. It'll just be 13
years more grumpy and grayer.

314
00:22:17,780 --> 00:22:21,300
Balder. Much love.

315
00:22:21,380 --> 00:22:23,700
All right, next thing for
Heroes Call board was something that

316
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,930
Jib sent me and I actually
checked it out today and got my butt

317
00:22:26,930 --> 00:22:32,810
kick in this game. It's
actually a Warcraft location game

318
00:22:33,450 --> 00:22:40,290
called where in warcraft.net
and it's a web based game that you

319
00:22:40,290 --> 00:22:44,570
can play that gives you
basically an image of various locations

320
00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:50,250
in Azeroth and you get to
place a pin on a map where you think

321
00:22:50,250 --> 00:22:54,100
that location is, and it gives
you a little bit, little fudge factor.

322
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:58,620
There's a radius to confirm
your accuracy. But before the game

323
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:02,420
resets, you get like, you
basically have three lives and you

324
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:06,180
have to. You got to pick and
you got to be right. And there's

325
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:10,460
a leaderboard to measure your
Azerothian geographical knowledge.

326
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,660
But let me tell you, it is
challenging. I was close. I think

327
00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:18,940
I did like four or five rounds
and I was close on probably five

328
00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:19,990
or six of my guesses.

329
00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:20,460
Yeah.

330
00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:27,180
Other ones, I was like,
samsonite, you're way off. I was

331
00:23:27,180 --> 00:23:30,620
like, oh, my God. For a game
I've been playing this long, yep,

332
00:23:30,620 --> 00:23:36,260
my geographical knowledge was
awful. Which is not that different

333
00:23:36,260 --> 00:23:38,780
than people in the real world.

334
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:39,660
Yeah.

335
00:23:39,740 --> 00:23:45,780
When you ask them like, what's
the capital of Kansas? And. And they

336
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:50,450
give you some obscure answer
and you're like, wrong. Go back to

337
00:23:50,450 --> 00:23:54,010
geography class. So don't feel
so bad if you don't get a good score.

338
00:23:54,010 --> 00:23:58,850
But I would imagine you could
learn a lot from playing wearing

339
00:23:58,850 --> 00:24:00,650
warcraft dot net. It's pretty cool.

340
00:24:00,650 --> 00:24:06,170
It's so cool. I love this. So
my son got into playing this with

341
00:24:06,170 --> 00:24:09,130
real world geography and you
can play rounds with friends and

342
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:13,800
stuff. And there's different
versions of it and I forget the name

343
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,960
of the person that coded this
that made this, but I believe they

344
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,760
also do add ons and I wish I
could remember off the cuff. But

345
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,520
like, so like this was. This
was kind of like a labor of love,

346
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,679
a fun thing that they did, I
believe. But I loved so much that

347
00:24:28,679 --> 00:24:34,400
they do this. It's so much
fun. Like, it's just so much fun.

348
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,080
So, yeah, I can't say enough
good things about it. It's fun. It's

349
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,600
of course free. Just hop in
and do it. And like, I have yet to

350
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,720
do a good job on it. I got my
butt handed to even. There was one

351
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,600
on Kul Tiras. I'm like, oh,
oh, I got this. No problem. I got.

352
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,720
Sounds way off. I'm like, come on.

353
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,040
Not so much. Yep, it's tough.
Oh, I just pulled one up that I think

354
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,280
is cold here. Let's. Let's do
this live. Okay. It's very castley.

355
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,200
Oh, this did not.

356
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:02,960
Purple banners.

357
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Okay.

358
00:25:03,930 --> 00:25:05,850
Purple looks like a cool tier
in sky.

359
00:25:06,090 --> 00:25:08,690
I don't make a guess of
banners though. I'm thinking maybe

360
00:25:08,690 --> 00:25:10,930
that's Stormsong Valley.

361
00:25:10,930 --> 00:25:14,050
Maybe Stormsong Valley. Okay,
well, let's go there anyway.

362
00:25:14,050 --> 00:25:14,370
Okay.

363
00:25:14,370 --> 00:25:16,250
And we're gonna. We're gonna
try this out here.

364
00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:18,810
Purple banners. It could be
dollar on too, but I feel like that'd

365
00:25:18,810 --> 00:25:19,370
be an obvious.

366
00:25:19,370 --> 00:25:26,010
See where we land. Oh, I was
close. It's in Kul Tiras.

367
00:25:26,090 --> 00:25:26,730
Is it?

368
00:25:26,810 --> 00:25:29,930
Oh, yep. It's at Stormsong Monastery.

369
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:31,860
Oh, okay. Well, we were.

370
00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:36,420
So. Yeah, you were very close.
It's not in the valley though, but

371
00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:38,180
it's at the monastery just
outside of town.

372
00:25:38,420 --> 00:25:40,020
So anyway, gotcha.

373
00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:42,740
Next round. Oh, dude, you're
gonna lose me to this. Okay, anyway,

374
00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:48,340
back to our notes. Back to
humor. I'm staying on task. But anyway,

375
00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:50,180
I thought this was. This was a
really cool one.

376
00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:52,020
Yeah, yeah, I love that stuff.

377
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:56,940
Or geographical knowledge of
Azeroth. Okay, last one for heroes

378
00:25:56,940 --> 00:26:02,690
call board. I found a video
today that I really liked and I thought

379
00:26:02,690 --> 00:26:06,330
I would share it. I thought it
was very appropriate for the casual

380
00:26:06,330 --> 00:26:11,530
nature of playing World of
Warcraft. And this is a video entitled

381
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:17,690
why I Play Wow Alone by
Angelica Tosh. She's a Streamer and

382
00:26:17,770 --> 00:26:22,770
a YouTuber and she had so many
views on this video. I was like,

383
00:26:22,770 --> 00:26:25,970
how many solo World of
Warcraft players are there out there

384
00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:29,050
that would be interested in
villiyef video like this? A ton,

385
00:26:29,530 --> 00:26:34,170
let me tell you. So kudos to
her on a great video. Anyway, the

386
00:26:34,890 --> 00:26:41,810
meat and potatoes of her video
is that friends come and go, and

387
00:26:41,810 --> 00:26:45,090
she talked a lot about a lot
of friends that she had way back

388
00:26:45,090 --> 00:26:47,650
in the day when she was
playing Warcraft who just logged

389
00:26:47,650 --> 00:26:51,530
off and never came back. But
she found that she wanted to continue

390
00:26:51,530 --> 00:26:54,450
playing Warcraft, so she
continued to log in, but her friends

391
00:26:54,450 --> 00:26:58,850
just weren't there anymore. So
she started playing the game solo.

392
00:26:59,730 --> 00:27:03,610
And some of her big points
were that quests can be in like an

393
00:27:03,610 --> 00:27:08,490
autopilot mode for you where
you can really fully immerse and

394
00:27:08,490 --> 00:27:11,810
experience your character in
the magic of the moment. And I know

395
00:27:11,810 --> 00:27:14,290
that Jibs and I have talked a
lot about this kind of stuff about

396
00:27:14,290 --> 00:27:16,730
stopping to smell the roses
and all of those wonderful things

397
00:27:16,730 --> 00:27:21,930
that you can do in Warcraft,
but it resonated with her too. So

398
00:27:21,930 --> 00:27:24,010
I think. I think there's a lot
more solo players out there than

399
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:27,950
we think. She talks about
there being no pressure at all to

400
00:27:27,950 --> 00:27:31,830
keep up with anyone or
anything when you play solo. And

401
00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:36,310
she also began to recognize
that solo play was for her specifically

402
00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:40,190
when she started using a
hardcore add on for classic. Prior

403
00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:44,750
to the hardcore servers being
a thing. Now there was a community

404
00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:49,190
surrounding this hardcore add
on and showed you how to truly get

405
00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:53,940
a solo hardcore experience. So
some of the rules were no grouping,

406
00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:58,940
no auction house. And she was
talking about how she really had

407
00:27:58,940 --> 00:28:03,660
to learn to rely on herself
and her own planning for every single

408
00:28:03,660 --> 00:28:08,140
pull. Like if you're gonna go
into a cave, she would have to very

409
00:28:08,140 --> 00:28:11,500
carefully pick. And I'm sure
this is the hardcore experience anyway,

410
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:13,940
but if you over pull like,
you're done.

411
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:14,740
Oh, yeah.

412
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:19,100
So she was really having a
good time moving slowly through the

413
00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:19,420
game.

414
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:23,620
Yeah, I love. I. It's so funny
you brought up this video. I missed

415
00:28:23,620 --> 00:28:25,860
this in the notes because I
thought it was a part of the we in

416
00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:28,020
Azeroth. I'm like, oh, wow,
we're really talking about this.

417
00:28:28,020 --> 00:28:30,660
Cool. All right, let's do it.
And I missed the link to the second

418
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:36,940
part part of the video. I
loved this video. It was informative.

419
00:28:36,940 --> 00:28:40,540
I thought it was really unique
and it really brought a new perspective

420
00:28:40,540 --> 00:28:47,270
because you and I both are at
our core community people. You know,

421
00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:50,470
I think that's probably one.
If we're not. Probably one of the

422
00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:55,150
pieces of us that makes us so
involved with podcasting for so long,

423
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:59,390
for all these years is the
community side of it. Because we

424
00:28:59,390 --> 00:29:03,310
just generally love community.
And it's been that way since I've

425
00:29:03,310 --> 00:29:07,710
known you. And I can't, like,
personally, like, I can't imagine

426
00:29:07,710 --> 00:29:12,590
playing it solo just because
I'm so, like. Like same thing with

427
00:29:12,590 --> 00:29:15,190
you. Like, our hearts for
people, you know, and the people

428
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:20,470
behind the keyboard and so
like. But I loved their take on the

429
00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:23,550
video. I honestly thought it
was really, really cool. And seeing

430
00:29:23,550 --> 00:29:25,670
that again, definitely gonna
watch it again. It's definitely gonna

431
00:29:25,670 --> 00:29:28,790
be in my. My nighttime
rotation before I go to bed. I always

432
00:29:28,790 --> 00:29:30,950
slain bed and watch Warcraft
and other stuff.

433
00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:36,160
Yeah. And it was, I think for
us. I certainly have my periods of

434
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,880
time where I like to play
solo. I 100% do.

435
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,280
Yeah.

436
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,360
You know, if, you know, say
I've had a rough day or, you know,

437
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,760
I just. I need to just download.

438
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:46,560
Yeah.

439
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,000
I won't get in discord. I'll
just. I'll log in and play and sometimes

440
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,240
I'll feel bad. Like my friends
probably think I'm mad at him. No,

441
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,240
not. I'm just playing solo and
I have the ambience and the music

442
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,660
turned all the way up and I'm
just enjoying myself. And watching

443
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:08,500
her video almost made me want
to roll a new character and do it

444
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:10,860
again. But, like, I can't,
like at this point, you know?

445
00:30:10,860 --> 00:30:11,500
Yeah, you can't.

446
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:11,860
I can't.

447
00:30:11,860 --> 00:30:13,660
Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can.

448
00:30:13,660 --> 00:30:14,220
I can't.

449
00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:16,500
There's just one button, baby.
It's called new character.

450
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,460
No. We have friends to love
and nurture.

451
00:30:19,540 --> 00:30:20,980
Just do it.

452
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:23,460
Make your dreams come true.

453
00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:30,760
It's all right. So we all pay
that fee. Play how you want to her.

454
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,360
Her video. Her video continues
to just talk about how in that hardcore

455
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,880
experience, she learned self
reliance. And that self reliance

456
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,320
made her appreciate being able
to play solo.

457
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:42,840
Yeah.

458
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,720
And you know, that whole
experience made leveling it, like

459
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,240
less leveling and more of a
journey. Like you forget about the

460
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,520
bar.

461
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,160
Yeah.

462
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,320
And you just go through it as
if your character is really going

463
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,000
through the world.

464
00:30:55,380 --> 00:30:55,700
Yeah.

465
00:30:56,100 --> 00:31:01,060
So she did a lot more
exploring with that approach. Discovered

466
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:03,740
a lot of things that she
missed before, which I think is really

467
00:31:03,740 --> 00:31:09,900
neat. And I bring this up as
part of Heroes Call just to say that

468
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:15,540
if you play solo, it's fine.
It's perfectly acceptable. The game

469
00:31:15,860 --> 00:31:22,340
has so much that you will miss
if you're in groups or if you're,

470
00:31:22,340 --> 00:31:26,770
if you're trying to haul butt
through the game like Jibs did with

471
00:31:26,770 --> 00:31:31,330
his 280s this week. But at the
same time you can always circle back

472
00:31:31,330 --> 00:31:35,890
around and go do that content
later when it's, you know, of course

473
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:40,970
it's easier, but really take
that time to play your game like

474
00:31:40,970 --> 00:31:44,530
this. At times you're just
having an off day. Turn up the music,

475
00:31:44,690 --> 00:31:49,890
turn up the ambience and play
the game as if you're an adventurer

476
00:31:50,490 --> 00:31:55,770
on a journey. And I promise
you, it will open up your eyes.

477
00:31:57,130 --> 00:31:59,490
Yeah, agreed. There's
something to be said about leveling

478
00:31:59,490 --> 00:32:02,250
immersion, you know, like the
time it takes in leveling, especially

479
00:32:02,250 --> 00:32:05,370
in classic. That's part of the
reason why it's so beautiful is you,

480
00:32:05,370 --> 00:32:08,090
you're a. Because of the
leveling process alone, you're able

481
00:32:08,090 --> 00:32:12,810
to just immerse in the
character, in the world, in the quest,

482
00:32:12,890 --> 00:32:16,250
in the people, the NPCs, all
those things. And so it's such a

483
00:32:16,250 --> 00:32:19,650
beautiful thing, especially in
like a, you know, like even a hardcore

484
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:22,730
setting where the stakes are
so high still, you know, you're still

485
00:32:22,730 --> 00:32:26,370
in this, that world, that
classic world and being able to do

486
00:32:26,370 --> 00:32:29,170
those things. So yeah, and
you're right, like take slowing down

487
00:32:29,170 --> 00:32:35,770
and, and taking in the world
is definitely preferred. I, as I've

488
00:32:35,770 --> 00:32:39,610
played and yeah, like I
totally sped to 80 twice because

489
00:32:40,170 --> 00:32:43,570
I wanted to be try. I wanted
to get to 80 and be prepared to make

490
00:32:43,570 --> 00:32:46,250
my decision for what I was
going to do and make sure I wasn't

491
00:32:46,250 --> 00:32:49,490
behind for the today's patch.
It's dropping but you know, like

492
00:32:49,570 --> 00:32:53,890
in my head it's like, okay, so
if you, if you choose not to take

493
00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:57,770
in everything slowly and you,
you just do time walking dungeons,

494
00:32:57,770 --> 00:33:01,450
whatever it is, the beauty of
that, once you hit 80, I will say

495
00:33:01,450 --> 00:33:05,530
this is that then you have, if
you've just done Dungeons, you know,

496
00:33:05,530 --> 00:33:07,890
if that's just all you've done
and maybe you've picked a zone that

497
00:33:07,890 --> 00:33:09,810
you're working through. For
me, it's always Kul Tiras. I love

498
00:33:09,810 --> 00:33:13,470
it. I'm back there again.
Point is, is this, if all you do

499
00:33:13,470 --> 00:33:16,910
mostly is time walking in
maybe one zone, like one area, then

500
00:33:16,910 --> 00:33:22,150
you have the entire game to go
back. Start at the chapel, start

501
00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:27,350
in the barrens, you know,
start over there and just experience

502
00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:31,630
the entire world at your own
pace. And you can blow on something

503
00:33:31,630 --> 00:33:33,990
and the general direction will
fall over and, like, you can just

504
00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:34,710
take in the story.

505
00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:40,770
So, like, yes, and I want you
to hold on to that thought. It's

506
00:33:40,770 --> 00:33:43,250
the perfect segue, but we're
not quite there yet. We are going

507
00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:46,010
to talk about that a little
bit later on in the show. And so

508
00:33:46,010 --> 00:33:48,650
I want you to hold that
thought about being able to go back

509
00:33:48,890 --> 00:33:53,050
totally and what large amount
of content that you're going to have

510
00:33:53,370 --> 00:33:58,690
left. So, anyway, slash salute
to Angelica Tosh for making this

511
00:33:58,690 --> 00:34:02,450
video. Congratulations on the
amount of people who have clicked

512
00:34:02,450 --> 00:34:06,840
on your video to watch it. It
is fantastic. It is heartfelt, and

513
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,920
it meant a lot to me to watch
that and know that there's a lot

514
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,440
of different types of players
that play World of Warcraft, and

515
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,560
any way you choose to play it
is okay. Very well done.

516
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:20,200
Well said.

517
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,440
Breaking news brought to all
of you.

518
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:31,200
By the Goblin News Network.
All right, folks, we're gonna be

519
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,600
talking about all kinds of
things today, and I tell you, this

520
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,320
came across the wire. We need
to talk about it. Yes, pre patch

521
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,120
is dropping today. However,
you need to know about this. Mounted

522
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:47,760
lumber harvesting achievements
now retroactive Farm now for midnight

523
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,120
launch. That's coming to us
from wowhead.com so, with midnight

524
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,240
getting closer, Blizzard has
quietly flipped a useful switch for

525
00:34:56,240 --> 00:35:00,430
players who like to prepare
early. Thanks to a recent hotfix

526
00:35:00,430 --> 00:35:05,470
on live servers, players can
now begin making retroactive progress

527
00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:10,870
on the upcoming Lumbing
Lumbing Lumber harvesting achievements.

528
00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:14,710
I can read. Words are hard,
Words are rhyme. Ron Burgundy, who

529
00:35:14,710 --> 00:35:18,030
typed a question mark on the
teleprompter, even though the achievements

530
00:35:18,030 --> 00:35:21,470
themselves won't officially
unlock until midnight launches. So

531
00:35:21,470 --> 00:35:24,910
in total, there are 12
lumberjack achievements. They're

532
00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:28,790
each tied to a different
expansion and the coinciding lumber

533
00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:33,910
type. And basically, folks,
it's any lumber you gather now will

534
00:35:33,910 --> 00:35:37,990
be tracked and counted once
those achievements go live. So in

535
00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:45,230
other words, go farm that
lumber. So you can pick up the. By

536
00:35:45,230 --> 00:35:46,790
the way, if you don't have
this, you can pick up the harvesting

537
00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:50,230
hatchet. This is how you get
started. Getting lumber at the nodes

538
00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:53,920
on your mini. Getting the
lumber nodes on your mini map in

539
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,600
the housing area. You can pick
that up there. But yeah, like, get

540
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,240
after it because you're gonna
be able to mount, stay mounted and

541
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,320
get this lumber. It's gonna be
fantastic. I can't wait for this.

542
00:36:06,799 --> 00:36:12,880
So you said it's a retroactive
beginning when.

543
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:13,880
Right meow.

544
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,160
Right meow. Like as of our
podcast or as of. This thing's been

545
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,490
live for like a week or two.
Because you know how much vlogging

546
00:36:21,490 --> 00:36:21,690
I've.

547
00:36:21,690 --> 00:36:25,690
Been doing as of this podcast,
it's out. I mean, it's. It's as of

548
00:36:25,690 --> 00:36:29,290
you and I sitting right here
right now. It's live, so you can

549
00:36:29,290 --> 00:36:29,490
do it.

550
00:36:29,490 --> 00:36:34,330
Wow. Yeah. And you want to
talk about a relaxing and mindless

551
00:36:34,330 --> 00:36:38,090
thing to do while you bag on
your friends on Discord?

552
00:36:38,090 --> 00:36:38,730
Oh, yeah.

553
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:42,970
That is 100% way to do it. The
only downside is you can't sell the

554
00:36:42,970 --> 00:36:47,200
lumber. But I'm not bummed
about that because it's. Then people

555
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,760
would be. That would be a real
market sink. I think.

556
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,360
I'm glad you can't sell the lumber.

557
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,200
Sell the lumber. I'm actually
glad you can't. It's all on you.

558
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,360
So the people who are putting
stuff up that take lumber to make,

559
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,000
that's pretty cool. Yeah,
they're putting the work in.

560
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,120
Yeah, I love that. That is one
of the protected things with housing

561
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,280
is that you can't sell it,
because if you could sell that, then

562
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,960
in turn, the pricing of lumber
would, of course, just plummet. The

563
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,010
pricing of decor would
plummet. It ruin that market. Like,

564
00:37:15,090 --> 00:37:18,490
they did a great thing by
protecting that. Like, no, you want

565
00:37:18,490 --> 00:37:22,530
it. You want to craft stuff.
Get on out there now. Go get that

566
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:23,090
lumber.

567
00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:25,530
Yeah. Wouldn't it be cool if
there was an animation while you

568
00:37:25,530 --> 00:37:28,010
were on your. On your mount?

569
00:37:28,010 --> 00:37:33,370
Dude, I still want. Oh, yeah.
I still want a goblin recliner that

570
00:37:33,370 --> 00:37:37,330
just, like, flipped up. He's
drinking a car. Whatever it is cola,

571
00:37:37,570 --> 00:37:40,810
and it just has a chainsaw.
That arm casual. It just comes out

572
00:37:40,810 --> 00:37:44,910
and just. Yeah, I love. I want
that so bad.

573
00:37:45,550 --> 00:37:47,430
Yeah, that would be pretty
dang cool.

574
00:37:47,430 --> 00:37:47,630
It.

575
00:37:47,630 --> 00:37:52,070
It does look a little odd when
I'm in my owl flight form and I just,

576
00:37:52,070 --> 00:37:55,910
like, put my beak up to the
tree and then the bar starts like,

577
00:37:55,910 --> 00:37:56,310
oh, cool.

578
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:57,070
You peck it to death.

579
00:37:57,870 --> 00:38:00,230
Yeah. How much wood could a
wood chuck chuck? Right.

580
00:38:00,230 --> 00:38:03,030
Oh, I love that. That's so
funny. You know what's funny, too,

581
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:05,150
is you can tell when people
are out and about doing that same

582
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:08,310
thing, like in your rotation
or your area, getting lumber for.

583
00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:10,970
You know, it's probably decor
they're going to sell or it could

584
00:38:10,970 --> 00:38:13,930
be that they're going to make.
But I just feel like sometimes it's

585
00:38:13,930 --> 00:38:16,210
like people doing the same
thing, you know, Like, I'm farming

586
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:17,690
lumber, too, so I can make money.

587
00:38:18,970 --> 00:38:22,730
Yeah. I've actually followed
people around that are on the same

588
00:38:22,730 --> 00:38:26,810
nodes that me. That are
dressed in an alchemy costume because

589
00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:33,690
they're continually making
Their hot tubs. Oh, I love trying

590
00:38:33,690 --> 00:38:37,090
to do everything I can to
dissuade them from. No, I don't do

591
00:38:37,090 --> 00:38:41,810
that. I'm just kidding. So
just go on. Undercut them by 10,000

592
00:38:41,890 --> 00:38:42,290
gold.

593
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:43,650
By.

594
00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:44,850
I'm a little sour.

595
00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:46,370
Thousand gold. Yeah.

596
00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:48,810
Yeah. I'm a little frosty
about it. If you don't. If you can't

597
00:38:48,810 --> 00:38:52,450
tell, stop undercutting the markets.

598
00:38:55,730 --> 00:39:00,650
What's the word on the street?
Folks? We have breaking news. This

599
00:39:00,650 --> 00:39:04,030
is a big. This is a big deal.
Okay. You need to know about this.

600
00:39:04,670 --> 00:39:11,430
Guild halls are finally coming
to wow. This is coming to us from

601
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:17,230
Icy Veins. And this has been a
long requested thing. Way over 14

602
00:39:17,230 --> 00:39:19,990
years players have been
begging for one thing and that is

603
00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:26,790
guild halls. And now the wait
is over. Yesterday in a PC Gamer

604
00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:30,640
interview, some of the name's
biggest. Some of the game's biggest

605
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,480
names when it comes to WOW
Development has some things to say.

606
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:37,680
Principal quote principal
designer and housing lead Jesse Curling

607
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,680
Cheek says that guild halls
may go live relatively quickly, though

608
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,160
they're not expecting them for
pre patch. Players have been dreaming

609
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,200
for over a decade about what
guild halls could look like. What

610
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,440
once seemed like a dream for
many could now be reality. As players

611
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,530
sit by the fireplace with a
quite quote Onyxia's head on a mantle

612
00:39:58,530 --> 00:40:02,530
with some burned up flags from
the battle at A. Oh, A.V.

613
00:40:04,210 --> 00:40:05,370
That'S Alterac Valley.

614
00:40:05,370 --> 00:40:08,130
I know about Sarathi Basin. So
I had to stop because I knew I'd

615
00:40:08,130 --> 00:40:08,690
say it wrong.

616
00:40:09,250 --> 00:40:10,370
That would be A.V.

617
00:40:11,010 --> 00:40:12,130
Yeah, exactly.

618
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:16,050
Words and letters can be very
confusing at times.

619
00:40:16,130 --> 00:40:16,690
True.

620
00:40:17,410 --> 00:40:20,050
So I assume that this would be
all guild achievements.

621
00:40:20,290 --> 00:40:23,600
I would say. I would imagine
so. That make it even more grand

622
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,840
though from a like a leveling
standpoint is that you know like

623
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,400
those guild achievements that
your guild already has, you know

624
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,960
doing those together which in
turn build up your guild hall. Oh,

625
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,080
that'd be awesome.

626
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:37,600
Yeah, it's gonna be great. And
it actually is kind of cool because

627
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,520
I'll be able to free up a lot
of space in my house because I built

628
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,800
the tavern in there for the guild.

629
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,520
Yeah.

630
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,200
And yeah, so we'll have to
have to switch that around a little

631
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,490
bit and make that into
something else.

632
00:40:49,570 --> 00:40:52,890
Yeah. I've remodeled my house
three times now since. Two times

633
00:40:52,890 --> 00:40:56,210
since you've seen it last.
Completely just wiped it. Start clean.

634
00:40:56,450 --> 00:41:01,090
I love doing. There is a add
on that Mr. GM came out with called

635
00:41:02,610 --> 00:41:05,170
wow. I'm scrolling. So if
you're a scroll, that's what's going

636
00:41:05,170 --> 00:41:08,650
on. Wow. Camera tools. And it
allows you Just to push a button

637
00:41:08,650 --> 00:41:12,250
and the cam will start, you
know, like cinematically moving for

638
00:41:12,250 --> 00:41:14,810
you and you hide your UI and
you can just record it. And I've

639
00:41:14,810 --> 00:41:17,250
started doing that. Just
record old builds or take screenshots

640
00:41:17,250 --> 00:41:20,530
and stuff. I love it because
it's just like housing definitely

641
00:41:20,530 --> 00:41:23,810
is one of those things for me
that's like forever creating. Like,

642
00:41:23,810 --> 00:41:26,250
you can just never stop. Like
you're just like, ooh, I want to

643
00:41:26,250 --> 00:41:28,530
try this build. And you just
wipe everything and start all over

644
00:41:28,530 --> 00:41:28,810
again.

645
00:41:29,610 --> 00:41:35,570
So to me, this is, this is yet
another example of how the home run

646
00:41:35,570 --> 00:41:38,970
has been hit with the housing
system. And it's funny because I

647
00:41:39,050 --> 00:41:42,730
continually see, particularly
on Facebook, I continually see people

648
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:50,060
like disparaging housing. And
I honestly think that a lot of those

649
00:41:50,060 --> 00:41:52,740
posts that I see that are like
that. I'm not saying there's like

650
00:41:52,740 --> 00:41:55,980
an overwhelming amount, but
you still see them from time to time.

651
00:41:56,540 --> 00:42:00,140
I truly believe those people
are just trolls. They're just trolling

652
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:04,660
because they know how much of
a home run was hit with this. And

653
00:42:04,660 --> 00:42:10,020
to add something like guild
housing to me is further proof that

654
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:16,260
they really went all out for
this system and they really listened

655
00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:20,020
to what people wanted. And
after so many years of people asking

656
00:42:20,020 --> 00:42:24,980
for stuff like this, it's
finally coming to fruition. And I

657
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:32,420
refuse, I refuse to see the
bad sides of this. There's. There's

658
00:42:32,420 --> 00:42:36,300
issues that there were bugs
like when it first started, but again,

659
00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:39,410
you know, we got the pre
release of housing, there's things

660
00:42:39,410 --> 00:42:41,890
that are going to get worked
out. The system is going to be more

661
00:42:41,890 --> 00:42:45,970
fleshed out. So I refuse to
fall into that. I refuse to believe

662
00:42:46,050 --> 00:42:50,050
that it's a bad system just
based off of, you know, what a few

663
00:42:50,050 --> 00:42:54,210
people are saying. It's just,
it's wrong info. And I'm drawing

664
00:42:54,210 --> 00:42:57,450
a hard line. That's a hard
line in the sand right there. I just

665
00:42:57,450 --> 00:42:58,930
refuse to believe that.

666
00:42:59,970 --> 00:43:04,760
Yeah, I, I do as well. I mean,
honestly, like, why the. Why are

667
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,480
people bagging on it as more
people in Warcraft? It's more people

668
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,640
in Nazaroth. It's more fans.
It's a. The family's growing, right?

669
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,040
The house is getting bigger,
the mantle's getting larger. It's

670
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,200
a win for everybody. And
though just because it may not be

671
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,920
someone's cup of tea doesn't
mean it's terrible, doesn't mean

672
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,040
it's trash, I'll be the first
to tell you, I do admire Battle Pets.

673
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,720
I. But that's not a system
that particularly gravitates toward,

674
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:31,910
towards me. Doesn't mean I'm
gonna sit there and bag on it. Well,

675
00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:33,830
Jibs, they stopped focusing on
that because there was like hardly

676
00:43:33,830 --> 00:43:37,030
anyone who got into it. Okay,
but there's still collectors out

677
00:43:37,030 --> 00:43:39,150
there that like to collect
those pets, right? That's. There's

678
00:43:39,150 --> 00:43:41,950
like 1800 pets out there. I
think something in that neighborhood.

679
00:43:42,190 --> 00:43:45,550
Totally cool. I love that
people are into that. Does it resonate

680
00:43:45,550 --> 00:43:50,270
with me? Nope. Am I going to
bag on it? Nope. Why? Because that's

681
00:43:50,270 --> 00:43:53,230
my fellow friend. That's my
fellow player in Azeroth. You do

682
00:43:53,230 --> 00:43:56,510
you. That's the beauty of
Azeroth is that there's everything

683
00:43:57,070 --> 00:44:00,430
for everyone in World of
Warcraft. Pick what you want to do

684
00:44:00,590 --> 00:44:01,550
and do it right.

685
00:44:01,550 --> 00:44:04,830
And that's the beauty of, you
know, 25 plus years of development,

686
00:44:05,470 --> 00:44:10,830
is that we have this huge
world to play in. So I applaud them.

687
00:44:10,910 --> 00:44:13,870
I didn't think it was going to
be here this quickly, but man, guild

688
00:44:13,870 --> 00:44:19,870
halls are going to be a really
hot thing for a lot of long time

689
00:44:19,870 --> 00:44:23,330
guilds that are out there that
have had so many achievements over

690
00:44:23,330 --> 00:44:27,250
the years and I can't wait to
see what some of them build. Super

691
00:44:27,250 --> 00:44:27,530
cool.

692
00:44:27,530 --> 00:44:31,690
Agreed. Mark my words. This is
the start of a lot of things coming

693
00:44:31,690 --> 00:44:35,890
to Warcraft that we've wanted
for a very long time. Very long time.

694
00:44:36,450 --> 00:44:40,730
Watch the next five years.
It's gonna be a freaking trip. It's

695
00:44:40,730 --> 00:44:43,130
gonna be a trip, man. It's
gonna be.

696
00:44:43,130 --> 00:44:45,850
I agree. I mean, they're
finally to a place where they, they

697
00:44:45,850 --> 00:44:48,530
can circle all the way back
around. The game systems are relatively

698
00:44:48,530 --> 00:44:53,360
good. Good. The class base is
relatively good. Player base is getting

699
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,120
better. They're finally to a
spot where they can start committing

700
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,360
some teams to huge quality of
life stuff.

701
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:02,840
Yeah.

702
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:08,480
That makes the game look and
feel the way that we've wanted it

703
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:08,920
to be.

704
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,080
Yeah. Agreed. Agree
wholeheartedly. So there you go,

705
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,440
folks. Check that out. Guild
halls are definitely on the way.

706
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,480
And then finally. So today's
pre patch. You're listening to the

707
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,200
release day. It is pre patch.
Look, you have. If you've been anything

708
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,440
like us, maybe you haven't at
all. You probably know mostly of

709
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,520
what's coming. So we wanted to
cover this a little bit different

710
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,680
of a way. So this coming to us
from World of Warcraft's official

711
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,600
site. Midnight pre expansion
content Update goes live January

712
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:43,460
20th. So AKA today. All right.
Now you guys know a lot of the, a

713
00:45:43,460 --> 00:45:45,900
lot of the things already. The
big things, right? Demon Hunters

714
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:49,580
getting the new Devourer spec
Void Elf Demon Hunters which is going

715
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:53,300
to be such a cool thing to see
as they're going to be all over Stormwind

716
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:54,460
rpm. That's going to be fun.

717
00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:58,020
Yeah. They're going to be
running before everybody in groups,

718
00:45:58,020 --> 00:46:00,580
because a demon hunter is
going to. Demon hunter dog. I'm just

719
00:46:00,580 --> 00:46:01,100
telling you.

720
00:46:01,180 --> 00:46:05,700
Demon Hunter's going to hunt
boy. You guys know the class combat

721
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:09,330
changes and all the other fun
things. Honestly, I. I don't fully

722
00:46:09,330 --> 00:46:12,410
understand what's coming to
Hunter. I don't know. Do you fully

723
00:46:12,410 --> 00:46:15,050
know what's changed? Like, all
the changes that are coming, like,

724
00:46:15,050 --> 00:46:17,050
understand what's coming to
your class?

725
00:46:17,930 --> 00:46:20,330
What's coming to my class? For
the most part, because that's really

726
00:46:20,330 --> 00:46:22,890
the biggest one that I pay
attention to. And then the tidbits

727
00:46:22,890 --> 00:46:28,410
that I hear from our friends
who were very deep. I was going to

728
00:46:28,410 --> 00:46:30,570
use a different term, but I
probably shouldn't. Who were very

729
00:46:30,570 --> 00:46:37,010
deep into Midnight Beta. So,
yeah, dirty minds out there.

730
00:46:38,210 --> 00:46:41,570
And so. And you guys also know
the statin item squish, which, you

731
00:46:41,570 --> 00:46:43,370
know, like, that could be
something we talk about in the future,

732
00:46:43,370 --> 00:46:45,610
especially for a segment of
the show, because, you know, the

733
00:46:45,610 --> 00:46:48,210
last time that we saw a stat
squish in an item squish like this,

734
00:46:48,210 --> 00:46:54,130
this would have been two years
ago. Well, it would have been when

735
00:46:54,130 --> 00:46:57,210
the War within came out,
because that's when we heard about

736
00:46:57,210 --> 00:47:01,650
the stash. Stat squish would
be coming. Would be the second installment,

737
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,840
which would be Midnight. So.

738
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:10,160
Yeah. And I've been through
stat squishes and level squishes

739
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,480
and stuff over the years, and
it really never affected me that

740
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,400
much, to be honest with you.
Aside from, like, the initial shock

741
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,840
factor of how much damage am I
doing? Why am I sucking?

742
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:22,720
Yeah.

743
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:25,040
And then you're just like, oh,
yeah. Stat squish.

744
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:25,600
Yeah.

745
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,920
But other than that, I mean,
once. Once you're, like, used to

746
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:30,840
that baseline.

747
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:31,480
Yeah.

748
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:32,680
You very quickly.

749
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:33,680
Oh, yeah.

750
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,720
You know, if you're looking at
damage meters or healing meters,

751
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,520
you very quickly get used to
what good healing or good DPS looks

752
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:40,680
like.

753
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,759
Yeah. And I'll be the first to
say I'm a fan of small numbers. I

754
00:47:43,759 --> 00:47:48,280
just. I am. I love that. I
love simplicity for simplicity's

755
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:48,560
sake.

756
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,560
You know, a game was awesome
for that. What, Dungeons and Dragons

757
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:52,840
Online?

758
00:47:53,250 --> 00:47:55,090
Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Yeah.

759
00:47:55,090 --> 00:47:58,690
Or even, like Baldur's Gate.
Yeah. Because it's. It's based off

760
00:47:58,690 --> 00:48:02,490
of the D and D rule set. And,
you know, you would. You would hit

761
00:48:02,490 --> 00:48:05,530
something, it would say, like,
minus six. Could you imagine that

762
00:48:05,530 --> 00:48:10,570
happened in Warcraft? What am
I Back in the starter zone.

763
00:48:10,570 --> 00:48:11,410
Yeah, I love that.

764
00:48:11,410 --> 00:48:14,810
Yeah. But like now I. I love
that doing a stat squish because,

765
00:48:14,810 --> 00:48:18,130
you know, right now you're
hitting stuff for millions upon millions

766
00:48:18,130 --> 00:48:21,990
of damage, right? And it's
like, can we change that sometime

767
00:48:21,990 --> 00:48:27,110
soon? Because your screen is
nothing but numbers. It's gnarly.

768
00:48:27,110 --> 00:48:30,910
Yeah, yeah. So stat squish,
item squish. That's coming. I look

769
00:48:30,910 --> 00:48:33,190
forward to experiencing that.
I think you do too. And then the

770
00:48:33,190 --> 00:48:35,110
parts that we really wanted to
highlight were some of the things

771
00:48:35,110 --> 00:48:39,030
that we haven't really talked
about too, too much on here. And

772
00:48:39,030 --> 00:48:43,750
first up is the user interface
updates. So with today's update,

773
00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:46,790
the user interface is
introducing powerful new features.

774
00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:50,470
This includes improved
customization options, cleaner RAID

775
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:55,350
frames, expanding display
scaling controls, and more. You'll

776
00:48:55,350 --> 00:48:59,670
be able to configure how
information and. And damage meters

777
00:48:59,670 --> 00:49:03,590
appear within the base UI and
customize them to fit your personal

778
00:49:03,670 --> 00:49:08,070
play style without the need to
download additional add ons. Now,

779
00:49:08,550 --> 00:49:12,110
this starts off with them
showing images of boss warnings.

780
00:49:12,110 --> 00:49:15,790
It's basically their version
of Deadly boss mods. The add on is

781
00:49:15,790 --> 00:49:19,510
now gone, now replaced with
boss warnings. And I'll be honest,

782
00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:23,790
we know, you and I both, we
have not touched beta, but just looking

783
00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:27,790
at these stills, you know,
this looks pretty interesting. I

784
00:49:27,790 --> 00:49:29,030
look forward to tinkering with it.

785
00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:33,710
Yeah, they look minimal, you
know, hopefully. I think my biggest

786
00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:38,110
thing with these is I hope
that there's a lot of customization

787
00:49:38,110 --> 00:49:41,860
there. And it looks at first
glance as if there is a lot of customization

788
00:49:42,330 --> 00:49:48,450
for boss warnings and damage
meters. A cooldown manager, we. We

789
00:49:48,450 --> 00:49:51,730
already know we've been able
to play with that quite a bit. There's

790
00:49:51,730 --> 00:49:55,610
a lot of customization there.
It's not quite weak or his level

791
00:49:55,610 --> 00:50:00,970
of customization nowhere near
it, but it's still pretty darn good.

792
00:50:00,970 --> 00:50:05,010
And it fits into the game very
well, which is another thing that

793
00:50:05,010 --> 00:50:07,490
I was concerned about because
I already have a lot of stuff on

794
00:50:07,490 --> 00:50:12,190
my screen when I'm healing.
This looks like it's going to fit

795
00:50:12,190 --> 00:50:16,430
into the UI of the game very
seamlessly. So I'm. I'm very excited,

796
00:50:16,510 --> 00:50:18,790
very excited to see these
things and actually get to play with

797
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:19,030
them.

798
00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:22,750
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And so,
yeah, we'll be jumping and doing

799
00:50:22,750 --> 00:50:24,990
that. And then also, we did
mention this previously, but Night

800
00:50:24,990 --> 00:50:29,310
Elf and Blood Elf architecture
is arriving in the pre patch. You

801
00:50:29,310 --> 00:50:32,710
know, last I heard, we weren't
getting this until midnight, unless

802
00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:35,290
I'm forgetting something we
already talked about. So we're getting

803
00:50:35,290 --> 00:50:38,730
it pre patch. So alliance
players can now design their houses,

804
00:50:38,730 --> 00:50:44,690
AKA Cash with iconic night elf
moonlit stonework and purple hued

805
00:50:44,690 --> 00:50:47,850
wooden structures. And horde
players can add blood elf elegance

806
00:50:47,850 --> 00:50:51,930
with silver moon inspired
options of golden trim and red crystal

807
00:50:51,930 --> 00:50:53,770
accents to their homes.

808
00:50:54,090 --> 00:50:59,650
Admittedly a little terrified.
A little terrified. I put so much

809
00:50:59,650 --> 00:51:03,320
work into my house. I don't
know what this is gonna do do to

810
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,240
the decorations I already have up.

811
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:05,960
It's just outside.

812
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,080
Yeah, right. Well, it's going
to have to be inside too, wouldn't

813
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:11,480
you think?

814
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,640
I think it's just outside. Is
it inside too? I thought it was outside.

815
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,519
I would imagine it's going to
be. The inside motif is going to

816
00:51:18,519 --> 00:51:20,680
change as well if you set it
to that.

817
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,880
I don't know. I think it's
just outside because we have the

818
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,330
Bellamyth already inside. You
already have.

819
00:51:28,330 --> 00:51:29,090
Yeah, true.

820
00:51:29,330 --> 00:51:32,450
So I think this is just
outside. Outside architecture.

821
00:51:32,770 --> 00:51:36,650
Okay, well, that's good. I
mean, I'm still probably gonna have

822
00:51:36,650 --> 00:51:40,250
to move around all my. All my
greenery. Well, you'll definitely

823
00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:43,490
have to stuff around my Druid
house. Yeah, for sure you're gonna

824
00:51:43,490 --> 00:51:46,570
have to move it, but yeah. I
mean, could you imagine if it was

825
00:51:46,570 --> 00:51:48,850
seamless? It was just like a
one click thing and then bam.

826
00:51:48,850 --> 00:51:49,810
Oh gosh.

827
00:51:49,810 --> 00:51:51,410
Set it so perfect on your house.

828
00:51:51,410 --> 00:51:54,050
Yeah. Reminds me of that. Set
it and forget it.

829
00:51:54,370 --> 00:51:57,020
Set it and forget it. Yeah,
it's definitely not going to be like

830
00:51:57,020 --> 00:52:00,620
that. So anyway. But I am. I'm
very excited. Even though my house

831
00:52:00,620 --> 00:52:02,820
now is. It's. It's the Stormwind.

832
00:52:02,900 --> 00:52:03,460
Yeah.

833
00:52:03,460 --> 00:52:07,860
Motif, but on the outside. But
it's still very druidy the way I

834
00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:08,900
did everything. So.

835
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:09,460
That's awesome.

836
00:52:09,460 --> 00:52:12,300
Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, it'll
get me back in there playing around

837
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:14,740
with that for 16 hours of my week.

838
00:52:16,180 --> 00:52:18,620
So there's that. And then
finally folks, when it comes to this

839
00:52:18,620 --> 00:52:21,220
pre patch, one of the other
things that we haven't really talked

840
00:52:21,220 --> 00:52:27,710
about out here on the show and
that is Pre Expansion Event and Winds

841
00:52:27,710 --> 00:52:32,310
of Mysterious Fortune Buff. So
the week of January 27, the pre expansion

842
00:52:32,310 --> 00:52:36,510
event Twilight Ascension gets
underway, making it the perfect time

843
00:52:36,510 --> 00:52:40,070
to try out the new class
changes. I didn't realize that the

844
00:52:40,070 --> 00:52:42,350
event was a week later. I
forgot about that. And the Winds

845
00:52:42,350 --> 00:52:46,430
of Mysterious Fortune Buff
also returns, offering all adventurers

846
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,920
a chance to reap bonus
experience from 10 to 79. Catch up

847
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,360
on your alts, finish, miss
content and unlocks and prepare for

848
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,640
the launch of Midnight. I tell
you what, with that Mysterious Fortune

849
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,560
Buff event, plus any time
walking that's going on, if it's

850
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,240
going on then I don't think it
is. But you also have your, your

851
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:08,080
War band XP buff and your 10%
XP if you've got that turned on with

852
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:14,330
War mode. Holy. And any rest
XP and a scroll if you're using that

853
00:53:14,330 --> 00:53:19,810
to buckle up because you go,
you, you going to be 80 in about

854
00:53:19,810 --> 00:53:22,930
two hours. Going for a ride, man.

855
00:53:23,170 --> 00:53:26,610
It's, it's going to move
quick. And like this also is again,

856
00:53:26,610 --> 00:53:29,810
like, man, you're so good at
Segways, buddy. This also is going

857
00:53:29,810 --> 00:53:31,610
to parlay into something that
we're going to talk about here in

858
00:53:31,610 --> 00:53:35,610
a few minutes with the, the
change to getting you to endgame

859
00:53:35,610 --> 00:53:39,280
quickly. And that is, that's
what they're shooting for. Blizzard

860
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,320
knows they have a lot of
people coming back for midnight,

861
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,800
so if somebody wants to come
back and try a new class, there's

862
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,600
going to be a lot of ways to
buzz your character up to 80. So.

863
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,840
Up to. Yeah, up to 80 for the
launch so that you'll be able to

864
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,320
experience the patch, the new
expansion very quickly.

865
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,600
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Folks,
this is a very special day for a

866
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,160
lot of folks that we've all
been waiting for. And that is pre

867
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,390
patch before we move on. Have
a wonderful time with it because

868
00:54:06,550 --> 00:54:10,070
it's going to be very special
for a whole lot of people for a whole

869
00:54:10,070 --> 00:54:13,830
lot of reasons. So enjoy yourself.

870
00:54:14,790 --> 00:54:18,790
Yeah. And it, it does, it does
hearken me back to a lot of the pre

871
00:54:18,790 --> 00:54:22,070
patch events that there's been
in the past. And I think the last

872
00:54:22,070 --> 00:54:26,790
one that we experienced was.
Well, of course there was a war within

873
00:54:26,790 --> 00:54:31,910
one that we did and that one
wasn't like super memorable for me.

874
00:54:32,380 --> 00:54:32,940
It was okay.

875
00:54:32,940 --> 00:54:36,860
I was like, okay. It was kind
of cool. It's okay. You know, you

876
00:54:36,860 --> 00:54:39,780
run around killing a lot of
like void creatures and stuff like

877
00:54:39,780 --> 00:54:43,940
that and, and to me, that one
was okay. The one that really sticks

878
00:54:43,940 --> 00:54:47,900
out in my mind was Shadowland.

879
00:54:47,900 --> 00:54:53,060
Oh, what a Paul. Yeah. Oh
yeah, that was a good.

880
00:54:53,060 --> 00:54:53,740
Remember that one?

881
00:54:53,740 --> 00:54:58,060
Yeah, yeah, buddy. Took you
back to somewhere we all love to

882
00:54:58,060 --> 00:54:58,300
be.

883
00:54:59,350 --> 00:55:03,030
Yep. Yep. It took us all back
to Icecrown and there were several

884
00:55:03,030 --> 00:55:07,110
bosses popping up at all kinds
of different times. And I just remember

885
00:55:07,430 --> 00:55:13,590
so many people being there and
it was a true like community event.

886
00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:17,790
There were, there were armor
sets and all kinds of stuff that

887
00:55:17,790 --> 00:55:21,350
you could shoot for. And I
just remember how fun that was. And

888
00:55:21,350 --> 00:55:24,190
we had, we had down to a
timer. Like we were just like, oh,

889
00:55:24,340 --> 00:55:28,820
15 minutes, here we go. And
you know, you're, you're going after

890
00:55:28,820 --> 00:55:33,220
the different currencies and
all the things that you need to maximize

891
00:55:34,180 --> 00:55:38,820
that event. And that's what
I'm really hoping for here. I really

892
00:55:38,820 --> 00:55:41,220
am. I want to see the
community come back together again

893
00:55:41,220 --> 00:55:43,220
for. For this pre patch.

894
00:55:43,300 --> 00:55:48,820
Yeah, it. Yeah, you, man. Yes,
so much. Yes, because it was special.

895
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:52,220
It was special because chat
was moving and everyone was calling

896
00:55:52,220 --> 00:55:55,120
stuff out and, you know,
they're like getting invites for

897
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:59,720
groups and. Yeah, man. Yeah,
Community. That was. That was a blast.

898
00:55:59,720 --> 00:56:02,520
I distinctly remember us
running around and you were on your

899
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,400
balance Druid, and we were so
aggravated at the time because you

900
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,360
had not arrived yet. That's
what it was. You had taken a break.

901
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,640
I think you went to go grab
some food or something. And I was

902
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,000
in there with some of our
friends at the time, and we were

903
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,480
just like, man, these balance
Druids can just pull everything because,

904
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:23,490
you know, you just had to mark
stuff and to do your singing, like,

905
00:56:23,490 --> 00:56:27,850
wow, that's crazy. In course,
in your mind, you're like, do I need

906
00:56:27,850 --> 00:56:29,770
to be playing balance Druid
right now? Am I missing out?

907
00:56:30,890 --> 00:56:33,210
Do I need to be leveling a
balance right now?

908
00:56:33,850 --> 00:56:36,570
And then you join the group
and we're like, yeah, we got someone

909
00:56:36,570 --> 00:56:39,970
to claim all the mobs. Yeah.
You know, like, it was. It was fun.

910
00:56:39,970 --> 00:56:44,450
It was a fun moment and, yeah,
beautiful time. Being in Icecrown

911
00:56:44,450 --> 00:56:49,780
again, it's so nostalgic. And
truthfully, I've never done the storyline

912
00:56:49,780 --> 00:56:53,580
in Wrath from beginning to
end. I never have. I've been kind

913
00:56:53,580 --> 00:56:57,300
of purposely holding off, but
just us all being there in Icecrown

914
00:56:57,380 --> 00:57:01,100
and you look up and you saw
the. And at the time, we didn't know

915
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:02,780
what we were about to
experience. Right. You're just like,

916
00:57:02,780 --> 00:57:06,060
Shadowlands is on the other
side of whatever that is up there

917
00:57:06,060 --> 00:57:09,940
that Sylvanas just did. You
know, like, that level of unknown

918
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:15,130
was so special and it was so
fun. So, yeah, to bring that back.

919
00:57:15,450 --> 00:57:18,970
Yeah, man. There's something
like that that's communal. Yeah.

920
00:57:19,050 --> 00:57:22,330
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
I've definitely identified the time

921
00:57:22,650 --> 00:57:27,930
to go back and do old content.
We've talked about this in our. In

922
00:57:27,930 --> 00:57:29,210
our discord quite a bit.

923
00:57:29,210 --> 00:57:29,970
Oh, yeah.

924
00:57:29,970 --> 00:57:33,290
When you're. When you're
getting toward the end of season

925
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:38,330
three, before a pre patch
event or like, in the next case,

926
00:57:38,330 --> 00:57:43,720
it'll be season three of. Of
midnight, when we're getting ready

927
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:48,520
for the last Titan. Yep. That
is the time to go back and start

928
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,920
doing old content. Because
there's some fatigue going on right

929
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:57,720
now. You can definitely feel
it out there and you can see it when

930
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,760
like not all your friends are
logging on tonight.

931
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,240
Yeah, I noticed that.

932
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,480
I got this key to do, but
nobody's logging on. What are they

933
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,960
doing? Oh, this guy's playing
another game. This guy's playing

934
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,720
this other game. So there's
definitely some fatigue out there.

935
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,880
I think a lot of people are
just ready for their pre expansion

936
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,520
event and a lot of people are
ready for the next expansion.

937
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,520
You know, I'm going to be
honest. This is our first time ever

938
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,320
doing a Warcraft show. First
time us ever. I think myself, at

939
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,880
least speaking for myself
playing Warcraft as long as I have

940
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,210
been playing it, like because
you know, we, we talked about in

941
00:58:34,210 --> 00:58:36,530
this previous show, like, you
know, we would do other shows and

942
00:58:36,690 --> 00:58:40,170
take a break, play Warcraft
and go get ready to ramp up and do

943
00:58:40,170 --> 00:58:42,010
the next show. Right. We
always found ourselves going back

944
00:58:42,010 --> 00:58:45,050
to Warcraft. However, this is
the first time I've never left, you

945
00:58:45,050 --> 00:58:48,130
know, like that I've never
taken a break and I've just been

946
00:58:48,130 --> 00:58:51,610
playing. I can't even remember
how long now at this point, but I

947
00:58:51,610 --> 00:58:54,610
feel zero burnout. Like zero.
Like, you know, you're talking about

948
00:58:54,610 --> 00:58:58,370
people fading or whatever. I
feel literally zero of that. I feel

949
00:58:58,370 --> 00:59:03,160
just as stoked is the day that
we started the show and the previous,

950
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,920
like six months of before
that, you know, like, it's just,

951
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,640
I don't feel that at all. I
really don't.

952
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,400
I, I agree with you. I am
still in that same boat. And when

953
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,200
I was saying that, like, I'm
definitely not talking about me.

954
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:18,080
I want to log in every single
day and play. There's a billion things

955
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,640
that I could be doing right,
like just grind an old rap or doing

956
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,930
whatever. I'm still in Azeroth
playing, so I'm certainly not playing

957
00:59:25,930 --> 00:59:29,810
that, which, which is a
surprise. Even at this particular

958
00:59:30,210 --> 00:59:35,970
period of time you can dabble
with other characters. There's so

959
00:59:35,970 --> 00:59:39,490
many other things that you can
do. And like for me right now it's

960
00:59:39,490 --> 00:59:42,730
just, I'm working that auction
house and just getting, getting stuff

961
00:59:42,730 --> 00:59:46,050
ready in anticipation, which I
like to do. It's, it's a joyous time

962
00:59:46,290 --> 00:59:50,990
for me right before new
content is coming out. A lot of people

963
00:59:50,990 --> 00:59:53,950
cycle in and cycle out of
playing Warcraft and they're like,

964
00:59:53,950 --> 00:59:56,150
yeah, I think I'm done with
this season. I'm just gonna wait

965
00:59:56,150 --> 01:00:00,950
until the new expansion and
they'll go and man, I have a million

966
01:00:01,030 --> 01:00:03,310
games sitting in my Steam
library that I could be playing.

967
01:00:03,310 --> 01:00:06,390
But every day I still want to
be logging into Warcraft.

968
01:00:06,390 --> 01:00:06,870
Yeah.

969
01:00:06,870 --> 01:00:07,230
So.

970
01:00:07,230 --> 01:00:07,670
Yep.

971
01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:12,390
Yeah. No, there's. There's no
burnout. I am super freaking pumped.

972
01:00:12,550 --> 01:00:14,310
Every day I get to sit down
and play.

973
01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:17,690
Yeah. I'm the same way. Like,
I tried to play Cyberpunk the other

974
01:00:17,690 --> 01:00:21,130
day, tried to start a new game
of it, and, like, I got 10 minutes

975
01:00:21,130 --> 01:00:25,170
in. I'm like, I can't do this.
And I went right back to work.

976
01:00:26,290 --> 01:00:31,330
Yeah. I mean, cyberpunk, dude,
that's like a. That's a. A long campaign.

977
01:00:31,570 --> 01:00:32,530
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

978
01:00:32,530 --> 01:00:33,170
In that game.

979
01:00:33,170 --> 01:00:33,650
Yeah.

980
01:00:34,050 --> 01:00:37,010
And it's funny that you said
that because I had said. I've recently

981
01:00:37,170 --> 01:00:41,410
said the same thing about Star
Wars Genesis, which is.

982
01:00:41,490 --> 01:00:43,870
Man. Oh, mod. That was impressive.

983
01:00:43,870 --> 01:00:46,630
It's a series of mods for Starfield.

984
01:00:46,710 --> 01:00:47,190
Yeah.

985
01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:51,190
That turn it into a Star wars
galaxy. I'm a massive Star wars fan,

986
01:00:51,830 --> 01:00:56,150
so when I first saw that, I
devoured a bunch of videos and I'm

987
01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:59,389
like, I have to get this. I
even went to Steam during the Steam

988
01:00:59,389 --> 01:01:01,750
cell and picked up Starfield.

989
01:01:01,910 --> 01:01:02,390
Oh.

990
01:01:02,790 --> 01:01:05,230
So that I could play that
game. But I get to thinking about

991
01:01:05,230 --> 01:01:09,680
it and I'm like, as much as I
want to play this game, it's gonna

992
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,720
pull me away from Warcraft too
much. It's gonna want to pull me

993
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,200
away from Warcraft too much.
And I love Warcraft so much that

994
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,560
I was like, nope, I'm just
gonna table it for now. Let's give

995
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:23,920
this another six months or a
year of the mods developing more

996
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,880
story and stuff for that game.
But if you're a Star wars fan, I'm

997
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,560
just saying, look up Star Wars
Genesis. It looks insane, but again,

998
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,600
not pulling me away from Warcraft.

999
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,440
Yeah. Warcraft and I. Yeah,
and us. Really. It's just like a.

1000
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,920
It's a constant love letter,
man. And it never, ever gets old.

1001
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:40,840
You ready for Snark?

1002
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:58,520
Yep. Let's do it. Snark
online. Oh, Little poop on this printout.

1003
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:06,450
Gross. Friends, Snarks spit
out the R D round table as our topic

1004
01:02:07,330 --> 01:02:13,050
for this particular show and
what we're going to talk about. We

1005
01:02:13,050 --> 01:02:15,690
mentioned it a little bit
before. I hinted at a little bit

1006
01:02:15,690 --> 01:02:18,450
before, but we're going to
talk about the new player catch up

1007
01:02:18,530 --> 01:02:24,810
experience. There is a recent
video that was put out by World of

1008
01:02:24,810 --> 01:02:30,760
Warcraft by Farts Gaming. One
of our favorite new creators that

1009
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:36,040
we've recently discovered is
Farts Gaming. And this video is a

1010
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:41,160
short video, but it's entitled
Returning to Wow Made Easy. It might

1011
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,400
not be your jam because it's
basically for People who haven't

1012
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,480
played the game in a while, or
people who are brand new to playing

1013
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:52,600
World of Warcraft. But it
details a bunch of things about the

1014
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,510
return returning slash new
player experience that Blizzard has

1015
01:02:56,510 --> 01:02:59,550
added to the game. So I have
some pretty poignant questions for

1016
01:02:59,550 --> 01:03:02,710
Gibs. But first I'm going to
go through all the aspects that are

1017
01:03:02,710 --> 01:03:05,310
going to be coming out here
very, very soon while they're out

1018
01:03:05,310 --> 01:03:09,550
now, if you're listening to
our show for returning in new players.

1019
01:03:10,190 --> 01:03:13,310
So the first point is that if
you've been away for more than 60

1020
01:03:13,390 --> 01:03:17,350
days, you'll be prompted upon
your login to take part in the new

1021
01:03:17,350 --> 01:03:19,910
catch up scenario. This is
actually this, this has been in the

1022
01:03:19,910 --> 01:03:21,430
game for, for a little while, actually.

1023
01:03:21,430 --> 01:03:21,910
Oh yeah.

1024
01:03:21,910 --> 01:03:25,550
Yep. Because I've recently
been logging on to players and moving

1025
01:03:25,550 --> 01:03:29,230
some gold around and I'm
finding this pop up happening all

1026
01:03:29,230 --> 01:03:31,510
over the place and I'm just
like, clicky, clicky, get off the

1027
01:03:31,510 --> 01:03:35,590
screen. How much money does
this character have? So it gives

1028
01:03:35,590 --> 01:03:39,110
you the option to pick up
where you left off or start the catch

1029
01:03:39,110 --> 01:03:44,270
up scenario. And if you lose
it, you can always find it in your

1030
01:03:44,270 --> 01:03:46,670
dungeon journal. And you can
access this at any time. You can

1031
01:03:46,670 --> 01:03:51,040
start it at any time, you can
could end it at any time. So it runs

1032
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,760
you through the scenario in
Arathi Highlands and puts you into

1033
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:58,400
like a tutorial style
experience to reacquaint you with

1034
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:03,479
combat or acquaint you in the
first place to combat and to help

1035
01:04:03,479 --> 01:04:06,080
you replace some of your
outdated gear. If you're a returning

1036
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,800
player, it'll guide you
through some of the new features

1037
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,440
of the game like sky riding
and assisted combat. And then once

1038
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,400
your scenario is complete, the
game will give you content suggestions

1039
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,170
for where to go next, next.
And that is completely tailored to

1040
01:04:19,170 --> 01:04:25,330
whatever level your character
is. So the video will also very highly

1041
01:04:25,330 --> 01:04:28,290
suggest that you do the Lore
Walking series to get you caught

1042
01:04:28,290 --> 01:04:32,690
up to the story so far. And it
walks you through the single button

1043
01:04:32,690 --> 01:04:38,250
rotation. It walks you through
delves. This brings me to some of

1044
01:04:38,250 --> 01:04:44,570
my questions for you. Okay,
very streamlined system for people

1045
01:04:44,570 --> 01:04:47,930
who are returning to the game
or who are brand new to the game.

1046
01:04:48,250 --> 01:04:55,210
Okay. But do you think these
changes that they've made to the

1047
01:04:55,210 --> 01:04:59,530
newer returning player
experience help them feel less lost?

1048
01:05:00,810 --> 01:05:05,650
Or is it still a system
overload when you log into World

1049
01:05:05,650 --> 01:05:07,850
of Warcraft after 25 years?

1050
01:05:08,010 --> 01:05:13,590
I think it's. Let me preface
all this by saying I think to really

1051
01:05:13,670 --> 01:05:17,270
do this justice, to really do
it, everything from like getting

1052
01:05:17,270 --> 01:05:19,670
caught up on the story you
know, with Lord Walker Cho, they've

1053
01:05:19,670 --> 01:05:22,830
already started that and
that's great. And even the tutorial

1054
01:05:22,830 --> 01:05:27,830
system, to really do this, I
think they'd have to do a significant

1055
01:05:28,070 --> 01:05:34,390
investment like a, like a
significant investment kind of thing

1056
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:40,640
and real buy in for that to.
To really flesh it out. I mean re.

1057
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,840
It's not just like a minor
feature but a major thing, you know,

1058
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,240
because of everything that you
just said. And, and I don't want

1059
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,120
to take anything away from
what Blizzard has already done because

1060
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:56,000
what they've added I think is
fantastic. The. To answer your question,

1061
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,760
I think that anything that you
can provide, any new player is going

1062
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,840
to help them. You know, like
from a. That's gonna. It's. Anything

1063
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:08,120
that you put in there is just
going to be a help, you know, getting

1064
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,760
them acquainted with the game
and everything. I think the tough

1065
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,360
part really comes down to, you
know, when you talk about being over

1066
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,240
on the other side of that.
Like the. When you're. You kind of

1067
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,400
put the bumpers down on the
bowling alley, right. And you've

1068
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:28,540
got the full lane now that you
can operate in. I do feel that it

1069
01:06:28,540 --> 01:06:32,740
still is overwhelming just
from what I've seen from watching

1070
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:37,940
your. Watching your daughter
play. There was something else too

1071
01:06:37,940 --> 01:06:41,180
recently. New player
experience or. I don't know who it

1072
01:06:41,180 --> 01:06:45,660
was or. But it was like I was
seeing that them start as well and

1073
01:06:45,660 --> 01:06:50,660
just watching their reactions
like it just made me feel as though

1074
01:06:50,660 --> 01:06:54,950
there were still room for
growth in that regards to like on

1075
01:06:55,030 --> 01:06:57,870
quote unquote onboarding.
Right. It's like when you're onboarding

1076
01:06:57,870 --> 01:07:01,110
a new employee. It's the same
thing here, like onboarding new players.

1077
01:07:01,750 --> 01:07:04,870
I still feel like there's a
lot of room for growth there to really

1078
01:07:04,870 --> 01:07:10,310
help them further along
because I do still feel, and I, you

1079
01:07:10,310 --> 01:07:12,910
know, again, like I really
think that this would have to take

1080
01:07:12,910 --> 01:07:15,950
a significant investment
because of everything. You've already

1081
01:07:15,950 --> 01:07:19,790
said 25 years, you know, over
20 years.

1082
01:07:19,790 --> 01:07:22,450
20. I said, I said 25 and it's 21.

1083
01:07:22,610 --> 01:07:28,290
Hey, yeah. Geez. You ever
heard of math? It's 21. Yeah, we

1084
01:07:28,290 --> 01:07:29,370
said that on this, on.

1085
01:07:29,370 --> 01:07:32,850
This show, you know, somebody
will write into idiots.

1086
01:07:32,850 --> 01:07:39,130
Oh, I know. But we love you.
We love you. Yeah. So you know, 21

1087
01:07:39,130 --> 01:07:43,650
years of systems and system
changes and lore, like that's a lot.

1088
01:07:43,810 --> 01:07:49,450
It really is a lot. And so I
still, to answer your question, yes,

1089
01:07:49,450 --> 01:07:53,570
I do feel that the tutorials
and everything is definitely a great

1090
01:07:53,570 --> 01:07:59,250
help. Yes. I also still feel
that there is a lot for people to

1091
01:07:59,250 --> 01:08:03,250
take in case in Point. Most
recently we got an email shout out

1092
01:08:03,250 --> 01:08:06,650
to Matt and your wonderful
wife and family. They emailed us

1093
01:08:06,650 --> 01:08:09,330
today. You don't even know
this. They emailed us. They played

1094
01:08:09,330 --> 01:08:14,010
the game for a very long time,
him and his wife, right? They had,

1095
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:18,120
they had some children, their
family grew, right? And they come

1096
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:24,640
back three years later and
they felt, they felt kind of a mixture

1097
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,640
of overwhelmed, I believe, and
a little bit of just like trying

1098
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,640
to place. Trying to feel like
their feet could land. And thankfully

1099
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,320
they found am. They found amr
and they're, they're kind of like

1100
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,880
settling in, you know, and
they, they thanked the show and all

1101
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,200
that, that sort of thing,
which I appreciate and loved. But

1102
01:08:40,900 --> 01:08:43,900
the part of what he said that
stuck out to me was that, you know,

1103
01:08:43,900 --> 01:08:46,900
like they felt like there was
just a lot, you know, like that they're.

1104
01:08:46,980 --> 01:08:52,060
I got the sense that they were
overwhelmed. And so seeing that from

1105
01:08:52,060 --> 01:08:57,180
a recent email, not even 24
hours old like that, just, that just

1106
01:08:57,180 --> 01:09:01,220
speaks to me again that there
is room, there's definitely room

1107
01:09:01,220 --> 01:09:04,700
for growth there. And I
really, really hope that Blizzard,

1108
01:09:04,700 --> 01:09:07,380
like latches onto that and
takes it and just really onboards

1109
01:09:07,380 --> 01:09:10,570
people in a big way, because I
think there's room for it.

1110
01:09:11,530 --> 01:09:15,570
Okay, so it leads me to
another thought here. Do you think

1111
01:09:15,570 --> 01:09:23,530
it's fair for us as players to
expect Blizzard to onboard new players

1112
01:09:23,770 --> 01:09:29,530
and summarize 21 years of
world of Warcraft Lore? Is it fair

1113
01:09:29,930 --> 01:09:31,330
for us to expect that?

1114
01:09:31,330 --> 01:09:38,190
It's not fair to expect.
Expect is the wrong view. Expecting

1115
01:09:38,190 --> 01:09:41,550
Blizzard to have that. That's
not an appropriate view from a consumer.

1116
01:09:42,110 --> 01:09:46,310
I would think that they would
want that, you know, like to be able

1117
01:09:46,310 --> 01:09:50,390
again to, to really latch on
to people, right? Like those first

1118
01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:55,150
30 minutes to a new person in
a game is so important. It's so important

1119
01:09:55,230 --> 01:09:59,190
those first two hours even,
you know, so like anything you can

1120
01:09:59,190 --> 01:10:04,290
do. And this is coming from a
love of Warcraft and a love of Azeroth

1121
01:10:04,290 --> 01:10:08,130
and the people in it. You
know, like we want more. We want

1122
01:10:08,130 --> 01:10:11,730
more people. We want Azeroth
to grow, right, and keep growing.

1123
01:10:12,050 --> 01:10:15,170
Not that it's hurting, but,
you know, like, we want it to grow

1124
01:10:15,170 --> 01:10:19,250
and, and new fans, a part of
the family. And so I don't think

1125
01:10:19,250 --> 01:10:24,450
it's fair to expect Blizzard
to do that, but I would think that

1126
01:10:24,450 --> 01:10:27,940
they, and I, and I believe
they do, they do want to do that

1127
01:10:27,940 --> 01:10:32,860
too. I do think they want to
help new people come in and I think

1128
01:10:32,860 --> 01:10:37,580
that they are really
efforting, especially when you're

1129
01:10:37,580 --> 01:10:39,860
seeing the things with Lore
Walker Cho those things being added

1130
01:10:39,860 --> 01:10:44,100
and then the ketchup kind of
like of Xalata and who is she what

1131
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:46,780
that looks like. You know,
that whole story there thing like

1132
01:10:46,780 --> 01:10:51,910
thing there. It's like you're
seeing those steps being taken. So

1133
01:10:51,910 --> 01:10:56,190
the steps are, the steps are
there. But I definitely, I don't

1134
01:10:56,190 --> 01:10:59,670
think it's right to expect
Blizzard to do that. That's almost

1135
01:10:59,670 --> 01:11:01,590
like a bad attitude, right?

1136
01:11:01,750 --> 01:11:04,670
Exactly. And that's kind of
where I'm at with it too. And I know

1137
01:11:04,670 --> 01:11:07,230
we've talked about, we've
talked a lot about it before too,

1138
01:11:07,230 --> 01:11:11,830
about how we, we would love to
see more lore Walker Cho Bits More

1139
01:11:11,830 --> 01:11:16,710
Lore Walking where it
summarizes all the past expansions

1140
01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:20,000
and things that happened in
the past expansions to bring you

1141
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,280
up to speed. But the things
that the new player onboarding experience

1142
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:33,199
does do is giving you a
streamlined look at systems and guidance.

1143
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:38,680
It provides a summary of the
latest story bits. It catches you

1144
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:44,400
up to the most recent content
and prepares you for end game. That

1145
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:47,280
is, that's giving you the
opportunity to catch up and play

1146
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:53,080
with your friends as soon as
possible. As as players, I can't

1147
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:58,120
really ask for more than that.
I can't ask them to summarize 20

1148
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:02,600
plus years of lore because
number one, if you were to do that,

1149
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,760
it would take a long time to
do it. You can't do a quick story

1150
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,280
and do that the way that the,
you know, time walking or lore walkings

1151
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:14,000
aren't that short. You know,
it's probably what, maybe 30 minutes

1152
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,120
or whatever. Could you imagine
all the expansions they've had and

1153
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,080
you have 30 minutes each to
try and catch up?

1154
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,640
Yeah. Significant much?

1155
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,160
Yeah, it's too much. You're
gonna dump people out of the game

1156
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,640
super quick. So getting them
playing with their friends as quickly

1157
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:31,720
as possible is a really good
way to go.

1158
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:32,440
Yeah.

1159
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,000
And for new players, there's a
few things that I wanted to go through

1160
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,820
here for, for new players that
will kind of help you understand

1161
01:12:40,220 --> 01:12:42,580
where the, where the game is
going to take you, where this new

1162
01:12:42,580 --> 01:12:46,620
player experience is going to
take you when you first get into

1163
01:12:46,620 --> 01:12:52,140
the game. Don't expect to be
caught up on 21 years of lore immediately

1164
01:12:52,300 --> 01:12:56,500
because you're just not going
to be. And I fully understand why.

1165
01:12:56,500 --> 01:13:01,020
It's just too much. That would
be true overload and that would probably

1166
01:13:01,020 --> 01:13:04,210
drive you away from playing
World of Warcraft. When your friends

1167
01:13:04,290 --> 01:13:07,410
are sitting there waiting with
bated breath until you can run time

1168
01:13:07,410 --> 01:13:12,370
walking dungeons with them.
You know they're dude, just level

1169
01:13:12,850 --> 01:13:14,850
you know, and you're like, but
I'm going through this story.

1170
01:13:15,410 --> 01:13:17,810
Yeah. I feel bad for that
person that's, you know, like being

1171
01:13:17,810 --> 01:13:19,650
pushed like that because
that's definitely not right.

1172
01:13:20,210 --> 01:13:24,570
Right, right. So I think
they've done a really good job of

1173
01:13:24,570 --> 01:13:26,930
getting you up to speed on
systems, up to speed on the story

1174
01:13:27,010 --> 01:13:30,530
and in to where you can play
with your friends as soon as possible.

1175
01:13:30,730 --> 01:13:34,450
And we can't ask for more than
that. The second thing is, is just

1176
01:13:34,450 --> 01:13:37,570
to have that open mind and
knowing that your character is being

1177
01:13:37,570 --> 01:13:40,810
primed for the latest
expansion the game has to offer.

1178
01:13:41,450 --> 01:13:45,770
Right. They're going to get
you up to speed and then you're going

1179
01:13:45,770 --> 01:13:48,570
to be able to just fly. You're
going to be able to do whatever you

1180
01:13:48,570 --> 01:13:52,450
want. The goal is to get you
playing with your friends. The lore

1181
01:13:52,450 --> 01:13:56,530
walking quests are definitely,
I would definitely suggest that you

1182
01:13:56,530 --> 01:13:59,550
do those on your off time. Say
if you're playing with friends, do

1183
01:13:59,550 --> 01:14:02,270
those in your off times when
your friends are offline because

1184
01:14:02,270 --> 01:14:04,790
there's some great items that
you can get out of that and there's

1185
01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:07,270
some. There's a lot of fun.
There's a lot of fun in those things

1186
01:14:07,270 --> 01:14:11,510
because you get to learn the
stories of the game. Here's the kicker.

1187
01:14:12,310 --> 01:14:16,070
Think of how much content this
game has after 21 years. Oh gosh,

1188
01:14:16,070 --> 01:14:21,550
it is a mountain of story for you.

1189
01:14:21,550 --> 01:14:22,150
Oh yeah.

1190
01:14:22,630 --> 01:14:27,350
So don't be afraid once you
hit max level to go back to those

1191
01:14:27,350 --> 01:14:32,830
old zones and work through
that content so you can then get

1192
01:14:32,910 --> 01:14:36,830
the whole story. But I think
the whole point of me bringing this

1193
01:14:36,830 --> 01:14:40,190
thing up was number one, to
highlight parts gaming's video because

1194
01:14:40,190 --> 01:14:42,949
it's really good and I'm super
glad that he's got this partnership

1195
01:14:42,949 --> 01:14:46,710
with, with Warcraft now and
has the ability to make videos like

1196
01:14:46,710 --> 01:14:52,830
this for, for new folks. And
the second part was, is just to let

1197
01:14:52,830 --> 01:14:57,030
you know that that experience,
I really do think that they're taking

1198
01:14:57,030 --> 01:15:01,750
their time in trying to
maximize the experience for new players

1199
01:15:02,070 --> 01:15:06,150
and try and trying to bring
them in and have them stick because

1200
01:15:06,150 --> 01:15:08,310
they just like you were
saying, like that first 30 minutes

1201
01:15:08,310 --> 01:15:14,750
is critical when somebody is
playing Warcraft and I can honestly

1202
01:15:14,750 --> 01:15:18,470
say, having recently gone
through Exiles Reach a good again,

1203
01:15:19,590 --> 01:15:23,950
I rolled a Night Elf Rogue
which I talked about and I specifically

1204
01:15:23,950 --> 01:15:27,110
wanted to go through Exile's
Reach because I wanted to see those

1205
01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:31,670
new changes. Normally I just
go to Darnassus and, and Teldrassil

1206
01:15:31,670 --> 01:15:34,550
and I do like my whole Night
Elf experience over there with a

1207
01:15:34,550 --> 01:15:38,870
new character, but I didn't I
went to Exile's Reach and I can honestly

1208
01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:46,480
say that playing through
Exile's Reach, it's beautiful, it's

1209
01:15:46,480 --> 01:15:53,280
engaging. It introduces you to
the systems, to characters, to combat

1210
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,120
After. I think, I think I must
have been playing in there for, I

1211
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,000
don't know, probably 30
minutes or so and it was time for

1212
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,280
dinner. Even on a brand new
character and even having gone through

1213
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,440
Exile's Reach, Titans know how
many times I've been through it and

1214
01:16:06,440 --> 01:16:09,640
I still like my wife's like,
honey, it's time to eat. So I was

1215
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:15,760
like, okay. And I didn't want
to hit the log out button even though

1216
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:19,400
I've been through it so many
damn times. It there's still. There

1217
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,400
was that draw there after 30
minutes. So I think they've done

1218
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,080
a good job. We can say
whatever we want about Exile's Reach.

1219
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:31,120
We can even be mad that they
didn't change the story at all when

1220
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,320
they revamped it. They just
changed the characters. So now you

1221
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,500
got. If you're on the alliance
side, you got Rathian and Jaina,

1222
01:16:37,660 --> 01:16:42,100
but the story is exactly the
same. So that was a little disappointing.

1223
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:47,980
But at the same time, I was
still hooked after playing this game

1224
01:16:47,980 --> 01:16:51,980
for all these years. Still
hooked, still wanted to keep going.

1225
01:16:52,139 --> 01:16:56,740
So I think they got that 30
minute thing knocked. If a player

1226
01:16:56,740 --> 01:17:01,140
comes in and wants to try
World of Warcraft out and truly is

1227
01:17:01,140 --> 01:17:05,020
an MMO player, World of
Warcraft will hook them. It'll get

1228
01:17:05,020 --> 01:17:05,300
him.

1229
01:17:05,300 --> 01:17:08,460
Yeah, yeah, I agree. And
honestly, like devil's advocate,

1230
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:12,100
does the island story need to
be different? I don't think it does.

1231
01:17:12,580 --> 01:17:13,300
Truthfully.

1232
01:17:13,620 --> 01:17:16,460
It doesn't need to be because
it's not for us.

1233
01:17:16,460 --> 01:17:19,900
It was something fresh, but
it's not for us. It'll be fresh for

1234
01:17:19,900 --> 01:17:20,580
the new player.

1235
01:17:20,900 --> 01:17:23,620
Correct target audience.
You're very right. You're very. You're

1236
01:17:23,620 --> 01:17:24,580
so smart, Jenny.

1237
01:17:26,660 --> 01:17:30,100
It to me like I love the fact
that they changed up the characters

1238
01:17:30,410 --> 01:17:33,690
then had those in there
introducing important people early,

1239
01:17:33,690 --> 01:17:39,370
you know. But I'll be honest,
that storyline for that island, solid

1240
01:17:39,370 --> 01:17:40,010
storyline.

1241
01:17:40,090 --> 01:17:43,690
Yeah, it's good. It is good.
And there's also, there's some changes

1242
01:17:43,690 --> 01:17:48,330
at the end. So I don't want to
be spoilery but I mean talking to

1243
01:17:48,330 --> 01:17:51,970
people who probably played
through Exile's Reach before, it's

1244
01:17:51,970 --> 01:17:56,140
not a terror. It's not. This
is not like a terrible spoiler. It

1245
01:17:56,140 --> 01:17:58,500
doesn't send you to Stormwind
anymore at the end.

1246
01:17:58,500 --> 01:17:59,300
Oh really?

1247
01:17:59,700 --> 01:18:03,380
Yeah. You go directly to the
Dragon Isles.

1248
01:18:03,460 --> 01:18:07,620
Oh wow. Let's see that's
that's different. That's different.

1249
01:18:07,620 --> 01:18:11,940
No, see, man, that's. That's a
gamble, isn't it? Like, you know,

1250
01:18:12,100 --> 01:18:14,500
not taking them their home
city, like taking them right into

1251
01:18:14,500 --> 01:18:18,420
an expansion. I forgot all
about that. Yeah.

1252
01:18:18,580 --> 01:18:19,060
Huh.

1253
01:18:19,220 --> 01:18:20,580
Yep. That's.

1254
01:18:20,820 --> 01:18:25,020
But your adventure continues
immediately. You're not like, brought

1255
01:18:25,020 --> 01:18:30,140
to Stormwind and then have
this period of WTF do I do now?

1256
01:18:30,140 --> 01:18:31,060
Very well said.

1257
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:39,540
You are on the shoreline in.
In Dragonflight and it automatically

1258
01:18:39,540 --> 01:18:42,580
directs you. There's a big old
character right in front of you with

1259
01:18:42,580 --> 01:18:45,940
a big old question mark on or
a big old exclamation point on him.

1260
01:18:46,180 --> 01:18:47,540
Zero question about where to go.

1261
01:18:47,540 --> 01:18:48,820
Yeah, let's see. I like that.

1262
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:52,790
So, yeah, streamlining, right?
Streamlining for. For new friends

1263
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:55,510
that are out there that. That
are coming into World of Warcraft.

1264
01:18:55,510 --> 01:18:58,310
And we don't want them to get
lost. We want them to understand

1265
01:18:58,310 --> 01:19:03,270
what to do. Because before you
would have to go to Stormwind, you

1266
01:19:03,270 --> 01:19:05,950
choose whether or not you want
to go through or you go to your.

1267
01:19:05,950 --> 01:19:08,590
To your home city. If you're
Horde, decide whether or not you

1268
01:19:08,590 --> 01:19:11,750
want to do that little tour
and then you got to go find Chromie.

1269
01:19:11,750 --> 01:19:12,230
Yep.

1270
01:19:12,310 --> 01:19:14,910
And figure out where you want
to go. Yeah, that's confusing.

1271
01:19:14,910 --> 01:19:17,680
It's very confusing. Yep. Well
said, man. I'm glad you said that.

1272
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,400
That's so well said. Just
slurps you right into a story and

1273
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,680
keeps them again, like
thinking of the mind of not. Not

1274
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,720
thinking of us, like of the
regular people, people who've played

1275
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,840
Warcraft, but thinking like,
if you've never experienced it before.

1276
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:31,800
Yeah.

1277
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:36,640
You want to go right into that
quest line. You want to be just shoved

1278
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:40,280
right in like, welcome to
Warcraft. And just, you know, quest

1279
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:43,530
after question. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. You know what?

1280
01:19:43,530 --> 01:19:45,250
I want to continue your
adventure. Right?

1281
01:19:45,330 --> 01:19:49,650
Yeah, yeah, I like it. Yeah,
yeah. Well said.

1282
01:19:49,970 --> 01:19:53,330
Anyway, that's it. That was
the reason that. That we wanted to

1283
01:19:53,330 --> 01:19:55,730
go through that with you a
little bit and just kind of detail

1284
01:19:56,050 --> 01:19:58,810
where some new players are.
You know, if somebody's out there

1285
01:19:58,810 --> 01:20:02,570
who is looking to get into
Warcraft or. And found our show or

1286
01:20:02,570 --> 01:20:06,090
you're just recently in found
our show, then you know, we care

1287
01:20:06,090 --> 01:20:09,530
about you. We want your
experience to be fun. So you end

1288
01:20:09,530 --> 01:20:12,310
up being, you know, level 80,
level 90 characters later on down

1289
01:20:12,310 --> 01:20:14,590
the road and you join us and
all of a sudden, you know, you're

1290
01:20:14,830 --> 01:20:18,430
freaking tanking dungeons for
us and we want you to have fun.

1291
01:20:18,910 --> 01:20:23,430
Speaking of tanking dungeons
for us, just so everyone knows we've

1292
01:20:23,430 --> 01:20:28,030
been hard at work behind the
scenes getting stuff ready for Community.

1293
01:20:28,590 --> 01:20:30,630
I know we haven't talked
about, like, saying anything live

1294
01:20:30,630 --> 01:20:33,710
on the air, but I think it's
safe to say that there will be a

1295
01:20:33,710 --> 01:20:38,080
time soon when announcements
are coming. We're working hard. We're

1296
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:38,960
working hard on that.

1297
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,600
Yeah. We also trademarked the
word soon.

1298
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,360
Oh, gosh, I love it. All
right, folks, we'll be right back

1299
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:49,280
after the commercial break.

1300
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,277
We'll close out the show.
Hello. Hi. Good news. Yourneighborhood

1301
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:47,600
has been selected for a brand
new endeavor. Congratulations. This

1302
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:48,860
week's task is achievable and
only mildly uncomfortable. Acquire

1303
01:20:48,860 --> 01:20:49,280
dwarven beard hair. Showsome
kindness, would ye voluntarily, ideally,

1304
01:20:46,655 --> 01:20:47,810
with consent, preferably, I
ask mercy. We need it for insulation,

1305
01:20:47,810 --> 01:20:48,650
cushion stuffing, experimental
rugs, possibly hats. Definitely science.

1306
01:20:48,650 --> 01:20:49,280
We are at the Alliance's
service. Participantsare encouraged

1307
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,000
to visit taverns, forges and
long conversations about ants and.

1308
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:49,280
And that's when me granddad
punched a dragon. Completethe endeavor

1309
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:46,960
to earn new decor, house
experience, and the quiet satisfaction

1310
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:48,000
of knowing your furniture is
now at least 30% dwarf. See you soon.

1311
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:48,800
So gather your neighbors.
Bring a brush. Compliment the beard

1312
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:49,280

library. Every episode we try
to make our shows accessible for

1334
01:23:11,250 --> 01:23:13,610
people as human, humanly
possible. I know that there's apps

1335
01:23:13,610 --> 01:23:18,050
out there that for instance,
Spotify, that does have an even YouTube

1336
01:23:18,050 --> 01:23:21,810

transcript these days. But also we

1337

keep it on our website as
well. So every episode we're dedicated

1338
01:23:24,370 --> 01:23:27,570
