Azeroth Morning Radio: A World of Warcraft Podcast
Six-Man Dungeon Debate!

This week on Azeroth Morning Radio, Jibbs and Kash dive into a heartwarming Warcraft moment as Kash’s daughter jumps into World of Warcraft for the very first time—rolling a Draenei Warlock and tearing through Kul Tiras like a pro. The guys also spotlight the inspiring community event Running of the Gnomes and why it matters, explore an exciting new roleplay addon every RPer should know, and react to the wild idea of six-man groups in Warcraft.

1
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:56,380
And good Tuesday morning,
everybody. Welcome. This is Azeroth

2
00:00:56,380 --> 00:01:01,720
Morning Radio. Happyto have
you all here with us. We are your

3
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,480
hosts. My name's Jibs, and I'm
joined by Kash

4
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,280
Hey, what's going on,
everybody? That was. That was funny.

5
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,040
We had the giggles when we
were starting the show.

6
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Yeah.

7
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,800
And the old gods were choking
you out, it sounded like.

8
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,720
Did you hear that? Oh, my
gosh. It's like my voice was, like,

9
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,320
fading in and out and like,
ugh. It was terrible.

10
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,760
Bunch of amateurs.

11
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Glad you're okay.

12
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:30,700
No, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. How are you?

13
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:31,660
How goes?

14
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:32,140
I'm good.

15
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:39,180
I am great. It has been a
fantastic week. Even though I had

16
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:43,740
work, I had some very good
progressive things in the professional

17
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:47,900
life and some very good
progressive things in the sit on

18
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:54,530
my butt at home and play video
games life. I have a story to tell.

19
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:55,490
I'll go on.

20
00:01:56,210 --> 00:02:03,770
You already know this, but the
people do not know this. I was approached

21
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:11,570
by my daughter about a week
and a half ago, and she said, dad,

22
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:16,130
I would like to play World of
Warcraft with you.

23
00:02:16,130 --> 00:02:16,530
Aw.

24
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:24,340
And he said, what? So we
proceeded to get the game installed

25
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:29,020
on her PC. And so my daughter
has. She's played several games in

26
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:34,580
the past, but not MMOs. She
was more of a Fortnite Valorant horror

27
00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:40,700
movie or horror games. She.
And she streamed for. For the better

28
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,740
part of two years, I would
say. She streamed and she did pretty

29
00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:48,660
dang good. And. And it was
mostly around Covid, which was. And

30
00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:51,020
she was much younger, which
freaked me out a little bit as a

31
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:54,200
dad. You know, just like her
shoulder watching, making sure nobody's

32
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,760
making, you know, weird
comments or anything while she was

33
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,160
streaming. But she did really
well. And so she's a gamer. And lo

34
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200
and behold, we got World of
Warcraft installed and we started

35
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680
going through character
creation, and I was just like, I

36
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,960
was in my element. I was so
excited. I felt so bad for my wife

37
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,680
because she's, like,
downstairs working on a project.

38
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,120
Me and my daughter were up and
up in her room, and I was getting,

39
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,700
you know, helping her with
classes and races and all the things,

40
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:25,260
and I'm like, you can do this,
and if you get bored, you can do

41
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:31,460
this and you can do this. So
Anyway, she rolled a Draenei Warlock

42
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:37,020
and I thought it was going to
be like a one day thing and she was

43
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:39,500
going to get in there and
start playing and that was going

44
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:43,460
to be it. And I rolled a
Hunter alongside of her, went through

45
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:49,150
Newbie island together and
then I had to leave the next day

46
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:55,870
for, for work for a couple
days and I kept checking my battle

47
00:03:55,870 --> 00:04:00,590
net and lo and behold, my
daughter was in there soloing. She

48
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:03,630
finished. We finished Newbie
island together. I showed her around

49
00:04:04,030 --> 00:04:08,910
Elwyn a little bit, Stormwind
a little bit. And then she took off

50
00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:15,110
and just started soloing
everything and she ended up, she

51
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:20,270
ended up picking Borales. She
picked. I could not believe that

52
00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:25,510
she picked that expansion. And
because that is, as we've talked

53
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:29,190
about it before on the show,
that is Jibs and I's. Those are our

54
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:33,670
favorite zones in battle for
Azeroth. And she picked it and she

55
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:37,670
took off and she's. I think
she's level 25 now.

56
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:38,960
That's awesome.

57
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,000
She's hopped into Discord with
us and you know, a few times I'll

58
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,440
like invite her to group and
then cruise out there on my, on my

59
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Druid and I'll just like pick
flowers while she's in the area playing.

60
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,680
And then, you know, if I see
she gets in trouble, I'll just run

61
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,680
over and drop her some fat heels.

62
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,560
And do her thing.

63
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,680
But man, it has been, what a
treat for a parent with a grown child

64
00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:07,050
that wants to play games with you.

65
00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:07,850
Oh yeah.

66
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:14,570
My gosh, I've been waiting
almost 22 years for this. Very, very

67
00:05:14,890 --> 00:05:20,250
cool. Yeah, man. So that was,
that was a lot of my Warcraft time

68
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:23,650
this week. The most of the
rest of it. I jumped back into retail

69
00:05:23,650 --> 00:05:27,210
as I talked about last week
and got some things done. I got,

70
00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:32,410
I ran some Mythics, did all my
weeklies, and then of course the

71
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:38,980
latest Legion remix content
came out this week and I hopped into

72
00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:42,460
that. Now I'm just kind of
plugging my way through the last

73
00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:52,860
part of Remix and my character
is ridiculously powerful. So I'm

74
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:55,620
not gonna lie, I'm just trying
to get bronze so that I can finish

75
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:58,380
off those collections. But I'm
getting kind of bored.

76
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:03,900
What are we now, four weeks
into this or a little more? A little

77
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,220
more than four or five weeks.

78
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:09,220
The story's good though. I am
enjoying that, seeing that again,

79
00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:12,740
which is. It's been a lot of
fun. I'm just kind of going through

80
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:19,620
slowly and taking my time, but
I really am looking forward to diving

81
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:23,340
full force Back into retail,
especially because, you know the

82
00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:26,860
kiddos there now. So, you
know, like, we can run dungeons and

83
00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:29,730
we can do all kinds of stuff
together. And I can show her the

84
00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:30,610
world of Azeroth.

85
00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:34,090
Absolutely. Man, that's
awesome. Wow. Yeah, that was a great

86
00:06:34,090 --> 00:06:38,210
week. Did a lot of RP this
week. Heavy role play week for me.

87
00:06:38,450 --> 00:06:43,450
Heavy warlock week for me.
Continuing to Warlock's a fun one

88
00:06:43,450 --> 00:06:46,730
because I'm discovering that
the more and more I play it, the

89
00:06:46,730 --> 00:06:52,810
more I'm obviously learning
the class. But like, it's. It's like

90
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:55,530
you're. It's like you're
learning, but at the same time it's

91
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:58,730
rewarding along the way. So
it's not like, well, you'll eventually

92
00:06:58,730 --> 00:07:01,670
get there. Eventually it'll be
fun. It's like, no, it's fun along

93
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:05,030
the way as you're learning.
And so that's been a lot of fun.

94
00:07:05,030 --> 00:07:09,630
Had a ton of fun just doing a
ton of roleplay and stormwind and

95
00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:13,670
caught up with some old
people, old folks that used to roleplay

96
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:17,030
with and met up in game. It
was a wonderful time seeing these

97
00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:22,310
folks. And honestly, yeah,
that and the show, man, that didn't

98
00:07:22,310 --> 00:07:22,590
work.

99
00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:26,840
When you say you caught up
with some old people, are you talking

100
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,960
about like some geriatrics or
are you talking about friends that

101
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,400
you had in the past and you're
now doing a new roleplay thing together?

102
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,720
I should preface that. Yeah.
So that was the second option. Yeah.

103
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,600
So our characters met, met up
after several months apart. I didn't

104
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,920
think they were playing
anymore and there they were. And

105
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,120
so wonderful reunion. It was a
wonderful time. And anyway, yeah,

106
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,930
man, that's it. Grinding.

107
00:07:52,930 --> 00:07:57,330
I thought it was. Jibs now
volunteers at a convalescent home

108
00:07:57,490 --> 00:08:04,650
and he's set up a land network
healthcare for Azeroth. He's got

109
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:08,410
them all playing Warcraft,
which, honestly, I have thought about

110
00:08:08,410 --> 00:08:08,690
this.

111
00:08:08,850 --> 00:08:09,890
It would be great.

112
00:08:09,970 --> 00:08:15,330
I will be playing games until
my fingers go necrotic.

113
00:08:15,330 --> 00:08:17,650
Well, I told your daughter to
make sure she puts you in a home

114
00:08:17,650 --> 00:08:19,030
that has AOL dial up.

115
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:24,860
First of all, F word to you
for telling her to put me in a home.

116
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:30,980
There's that. And second of
all, I kind of, when I really get

117
00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:36,140
to thinking about it, I kind
of wouldn't be that bummed because

118
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:40,300
it'd be like I can wander out
of my room, I can saunter down the

119
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:45,420
hallway in my slippers and
just be a grumpy pisser to everybody.

120
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:51,950
They've made me breakfast, I
can sit down and I can have my four

121
00:08:51,950 --> 00:08:56,310
Eggs and two pieces of bacon
and one poodle turd of sausage. And

122
00:08:56,310 --> 00:09:00,750
then I can saunter my way. I
won't even pick my feet up in my

123
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:03,870
slippers. I'll just zip, zip,
zip, zip, zip all the way back to

124
00:09:03,870 --> 00:09:08,270
my room, close the door, and
log into Warcraft until they find

125
00:09:08,270 --> 00:09:10,070
me dead at my keyboard.

126
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:15,580
Oh gosh. Wow, that's hilarious.

127
00:09:15,740 --> 00:09:17,020
It will have been a great life.

128
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:20,900
Jibs will have been a great
life indeed. Yep, I'm gonna be beating

129
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:23,980
on the other side of the wall,
so I'm your neighbor in there telling

130
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:24,180
you to.

131
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:25,900
Turn it down, grumpy old man.

132
00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:30,940
Well, everybody, thank you so
much for hanging out with us. This

133
00:09:30,940 --> 00:09:34,860
show is Warcraft for the rest
of us. So the nine to fivers, the

134
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:39,580
casuals, the parents, you love
Warcraft and you love Azeroth. But

135
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:42,870
you grew up playing it and you
simply grew up. The show is 100%

136
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:45,350
for you friends. This week on
the show. Well, actually it's episode

137
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:48,710
nine. We're one episode away
from our first 10 episodes, so that's

138
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:48,870
good.

139
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:49,910
We're nine years old.

140
00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:53,550
We're nine years old. You
know, Azeroth just can now drink

141
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:55,590
legally. It's 21 years old.
That's the thing.

142
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:59,030
Oh, we should tote well,
because there's world soul there.

143
00:09:59,350 --> 00:10:00,070
That's true.

144
00:10:00,710 --> 00:10:02,070
We should get her drunk.

145
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:03,990
Red flag.

146
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:09,950
Seriously, we should feed her whiskey.

147
00:10:09,950 --> 00:10:13,680
Oh my gosh. Can you imagine
that in a theoretical. Well, never

148
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,640
mind. That's a rabbit hole.
But anyway, this week on the show

149
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,000
folks, we got running on the
gnomes, a brand new rp Add on role

150
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,160
players need to know about six
man groups. What? And so much more.

151
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,080
But we'll be right back after
this commercial break.

152
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,000
Hey, hurry up.

153
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Yee haw.

154
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,330
All right adventurers, gather
round, gather round. Welcome to Nizfix's

155
00:10:40,330 --> 00:10:45,210
used Bruto lot. Home of the
finest slightly pre owned Brutosaurs

156
00:10:45,210 --> 00:10:52,210
in the known world. Aw, sit
tight, buddies. They're so cute,

157
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:58,570
you just want to boop their
little noses. I said shut up. Well,

158
00:10:58,810 --> 00:11:04,240
look at this beauty. Gemmed
harnesses, sparkling stone, a slightly

159
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:11,160
used 20th anniversary edition.
And yes, we spared no expense. Yeah,

160
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,360
they're pre owned, but
definitely cheaper than the 21st

161
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,160
year models. I mean, who the
hell can afford a new one? Am I right?

162
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,040
Prices? Well, only slightly
more than a gnome's wettest dream.

163
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,800
This one's a steal at. Well,
let's just say you might need a second

164
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,510
job or a dip into grandpappy's
pension to cover it. But come on,

165
00:11:32,510 --> 00:11:35,990
can you really put a price on
a broodosaur that carries all your

166
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:37,710
shit. You crappy friends.

167
00:11:37,950 --> 00:11:40,110
You dance good.

168
00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:44,510
And a fast talking auctioneer.
Guaranteed to lowball all your bids.

169
00:11:45,950 --> 00:11:51,790
And check this out. We got
dozens of Brutosaurs. Some shiny,

170
00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:58,510
some rusty. One that sneezes
coins. One that smells of rich mahogany,

171
00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:03,740
Imron burgundy. And that
deluxe model. That one survived the

172
00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:08,220
cataclysm two raids and the
very unfortunate undermined vehicle

173
00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:14,500
wreck. Not even a salvage
title after all of that. Totally

174
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:19,700
fine. I swear. Now let me tell
you something. These beasties go

175
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:24,140
from flat footed to 20 miles
per hour in six minutes flat. So

176
00:12:24,140 --> 00:12:27,780
even the most well fit fat
adventurers feel like a high seas

177
00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:31,780
champion. Or at least
marginally less than a turtle at

178
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:34,460
full throttle. Speaking of
which, we got those too.

179
00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:38,540
Yahoo.

180
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:43,580
So come on down to Nizfix's
used brutal lot. Pick your own slightly

181
00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:48,020
used overpriced brutasaur
today. We promise not to laugh at

182
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:52,050
you if you try to haggle a
better price. And remember, they're

183
00:12:52,050 --> 00:12:56,690
slightly terrifying, slightly
majestic and completely goblin approved.

184
00:12:57,330 --> 00:13:00,410
And if one of our Brontos
happens to have a dead gnome stuck

185
00:13:00,410 --> 00:13:04,450
in its hoof. Consider it a
bonus option. On the house. Hey,

186
00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:09,090
come to Nisfixus. No discounts
accepted. We don't take no credit,

187
00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:13,210
no incentives and definitely
don't give no warranties. And as

188
00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:16,290
those big belly dwarves say,
see you soon.

189
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:25,930
All right everybody, welcome
back Azeroth morning radio. Here

190
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:28,730
in your Azeroth morning. So
let's go ahead and get started with

191
00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:30,450
the hero's call.

192
00:13:32,530 --> 00:13:33,570
Hero's call.

193
00:13:34,050 --> 00:13:36,770
I always feel so powerful when
I hear that voice.

194
00:13:36,930 --> 00:13:38,450
That's what you get from that
is power.

195
00:13:39,010 --> 00:13:39,890
Well, it's my voice.

196
00:13:39,890 --> 00:13:42,290
I feel like you're mid. So I
feel like you're like mid grunt.

197
00:13:42,290 --> 00:13:45,260
Like mid poop. And you're like
letting it out.

198
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,820
Well that both out of your
mouth. That involves a certain amount

199
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:55,820
of power, buddy. We have potty
humor. We are. We are grown ass men.

200
00:13:55,820 --> 00:13:57,860
And we have stupid potty humor.

201
00:13:57,860 --> 00:13:59,659
Who taught you to act like this?

202
00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:02,100
We're all humans now, Jibs.

203
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:06,380
I know, I know. We really are.
This is locker room talk right here.

204
00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:12,060
We should act like humans. We
should heroes call adventures. This

205
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:15,220
week I wanted to talk about
something that I thought was really

206
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:17,660
neat. I think every week we
talk about something that's really

207
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:23,100
neat. But it's no mystery at
this point. Nine episodes in. You

208
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:26,340
guys hearing me talk with the
heroes call board that I'm a huge

209
00:14:26,420 --> 00:14:32,100
fan of player run events. I
think they are so cool. We've talked

210
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:34,340
about a bunch of them that
we've been involved in in the past

211
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:40,300
and you know, it's in it. It's
goes far beyond roleplay this. A

212
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:44,700
lot of these events that
people do support good causes and

213
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:47,860
this is one that I learned
about. I did not know, did a search

214
00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:51,900
and found some really cool
information on an event for breast

215
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,580
cancer awareness called the
Running of the Gnomes. This event

216
00:14:55,740 --> 00:15:02,740
started back in 2009 when a
player organization was a guild on

217
00:15:02,740 --> 00:15:07,730
Scarlet Crusade came up with
the idea to roll level one gnomes.

218
00:15:08,530 --> 00:15:12,410
And they would, when they did
the character creation for these

219
00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:15,490
gnomes, they would make them
with pink hair to commemorate breast

220
00:15:15,490 --> 00:15:19,050
cancer awareness. And if you
guys didn't know, it's October is

221
00:15:19,050 --> 00:15:23,690
breast cancer awareness month
and it's. It's a big deal. Like all

222
00:15:23,690 --> 00:15:27,250
across the United States it's
a big deal. And like for, for us

223
00:15:27,250 --> 00:15:32,780
at work we get to wear like
special shirts that have, that have

224
00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:36,380
like, you know, our logo in
pink and stuff. And it's, it's just

225
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:41,420
really neat and it's, it's a
nationwide thing. So anyway, on Scarlet

226
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:45,220
Crusade this guild would get
together rolled level one gnomes

227
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:50,540
with pink hair and they would
do a run from gnomeregan to Booty

228
00:15:50,540 --> 00:15:53,380
Bay. And they would do it in
the name of breast cancer awareness

229
00:15:53,380 --> 00:16:01,390
to fundraise for that
particular cause. Well, the charity

230
00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:04,790
that they did was called the
Pink Fund, which obviously supports

231
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:07,710
people with breast cancer
treatment and their related expenses.

232
00:16:08,670 --> 00:16:13,790
And Blizzard found out about
this and wanted to get involved.

233
00:16:14,910 --> 00:16:19,710
So Blizzard went ahead and
instead of it just being a regular

234
00:16:19,710 --> 00:16:23,150
run through the world,
Blizzard actually set up an official

235
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:26,070
starting line for their event.
And this was in subsequent years

236
00:16:26,070 --> 00:16:29,090
and still going on. They set
up an official starting line for

237
00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:33,890
the event in New Tinkertown,
which is in the north part of the

238
00:16:33,890 --> 00:16:38,730
zone. And they actually put a
quest in the game that will guide

239
00:16:38,730 --> 00:16:44,250
players through 40 gates along
the route finishing in Booty Bay.

240
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:51,090
As you know, on this south tip
of Eastern Kingdoms and they scattered

241
00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:55,090
NPCs who would cheer you along
the route. They gave, you know, the,

242
00:16:55,270 --> 00:16:58,510
the pink hair runners a little
extra motivation as they, as they

243
00:16:58,510 --> 00:17:00,670
ran. So they weren't getting
eaten by tigers because remember

244
00:17:00,670 --> 00:17:04,710
these are level one gnomes and
getting through Stranglethorn is

245
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:09,070
probably a problem, you know,
and whatever you do, don't have war

246
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:15,590
mode on. I just thought that
this was such a cool thing. And again

247
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:20,390
it, it is an example of how
the community parallels things in

248
00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:24,310
real life and how like last
week, talking about extra Life which

249
00:17:24,310 --> 00:17:28,030
benefits children's hospitals,
this benefits breast cancer awareness.

250
00:17:28,750 --> 00:17:33,510
And just how awesome the
community can be and how awesome

251
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:36,510
the developers at Blizzard can
be. Any developers really, in any

252
00:17:36,510 --> 00:17:40,990
game, when they get involved
with stuff like this, that is really

253
00:17:40,990 --> 00:17:45,510
what shows me that these
aren't just developers that are showing

254
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:49,490
up for a paycheck. These are
people who are, have a passion for

255
00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:53,690
the gaming community and for
everything that surrounds it, including

256
00:17:53,930 --> 00:18:01,090
real life. So you know, you
think about like what this is the

257
00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:04,930
tiny gnome that runs across
Azeroth to help millions. And that

258
00:18:04,930 --> 00:18:10,570
is exactly what this is. In
any event, that's, that is like this.

259
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:15,220
And you just, you just. It
warms your heart. It definitely warms

260
00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:19,700
my heart because I'm old and
sensitive now, but I love stuff like

261
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:24,300
this. I was young and sensitive.

262
00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:30,219
Now that I've turned the
corner, now I'm old and sensitive.

263
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:35,900
No, I love this. I really do.
I love, love, love this community

264
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:40,580
so much. The things that they
do, the things that they're involved

265
00:18:40,580 --> 00:18:45,380
in. The fact that Blizzard
took in running of the gnomes and

266
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:49,180
made it its official thing in
game, it's amazing, man. Like, I

267
00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:52,860
love that. I love, again, I
love this community. The things that

268
00:18:52,860 --> 00:18:55,540
they do, the things they
build, the things they make. It's

269
00:18:55,540 --> 00:19:00,820
the cosplay they, that they, I
mean like painstakingly put together.

270
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:05,060
It's, it's just, it's amazing.
All of it, all of it's amazing. And

271
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:08,460
you know, everybody doing
their, their thing, whatever their,

272
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:11,480
their shtick is, whether it's
a podcast like we're doing or you

273
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,280
know, people putting together
events in game or you know, like

274
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,960
YouTubers, streamers. I love
all of it, man. And I just. You said

275
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,840
it exactly right. You know,
like just the fact that this community,

276
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,120
you love community run things.
And I certainly do too. It's really,

277
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:26,160
really special, right?

278
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,240
And it does, it highlights
again how you know, a regular player

279
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,880
from everyday life that has a
passion for something and you, I

280
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,960
don't know the story behind
this or behind the person that came

281
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,600
up with this idea and started
it. A lot of times it's, you know,

282
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,780
he, my mom had breast cancer
and this, you know, I had breast

283
00:19:46,780 --> 00:19:50,460
cancer and you know, I wanted
to do something to support it, but

284
00:19:51,180 --> 00:19:54,700
I think sometimes it's a
little easier for, for folks when

285
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,700
you have a platform. But when
you don't like us, like we have a

286
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:00,980
podcast platform, you know,
that four or five people listen to.

287
00:20:00,980 --> 00:20:03,020
Well, those four or five
people are going to hear what we

288
00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:06,260
have to say. Other people
don't so to get something like this

289
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:10,870
off the ground from that
ground level without a platform and

290
00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:15,710
have Blizzard take notice to
it, that is a feat. And it's. It's

291
00:20:15,710 --> 00:20:20,110
pretty amazing how, you know,
a small initiative can turn into

292
00:20:20,110 --> 00:20:23,070
something that happens every
year. And of course, you know, every

293
00:20:23,070 --> 00:20:25,110
year they're going to bring
more people in. More people are going

294
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:28,790
to want to do the Pink Hair
Run. And I just. I think that little

295
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:32,870
things like this that happen
in the community again, really make

296
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:39,910
the community what it is and
showcase so much more about the game

297
00:20:39,910 --> 00:20:45,390
of World of Warcraft and
Azeroth being a home for people and

298
00:20:45,390 --> 00:20:47,390
not just a game. There's so
much more to it.

299
00:20:47,390 --> 00:20:50,670
Yeah. Yeah. It really is a
warm blanket for so, so many people

300
00:20:50,670 --> 00:20:54,870
for so many reasons. And, man,
that's special. So I actually have

301
00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:57,470
something too to kind of go
along with the heroes call board.

302
00:20:57,630 --> 00:21:00,030
Not normally doing this. I
feel like I'm stepping on toes here.

303
00:21:00,110 --> 00:21:01,070
On my toes?

304
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:02,430
Yeah, on your toes.

305
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,880
This is our show. You're not
stepping on my toes.

306
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,320
I know. It just feel. I'm not.
Don't normally do this.

307
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,160
When in Rome.

308
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,680
When in Rome. Yeah. So anyway,
I was in Stormwind the other night

309
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,800
and I was doing some role
play, just kind of walking around

310
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,440
and at the time nothing was
really happening too, too much. And

311
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,520
I happened to mouse over
someone's name and you know how Total

312
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,880
Roleplay three will. You know,
like how you have your backstory.

313
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,640
It tells basically a tooltip
of the player, right?

314
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:31,140
That's dangerous. Very dangerous.

315
00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:33,940
Not dangerous. Just don't go
to Goldshire. We all know. All right,

316
00:21:33,940 --> 00:21:37,460
so anyway, I moused over this
person and I'm not going to say their

317
00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:42,020
character name, but I will say
their name on curseforge is derosa

318
00:21:42,020 --> 00:21:46,380
mg. And anyway, I moused over
there and their tooltip popped up.

319
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:49,220
Hey, this is my add on. Check
it out. Blah, blah. I'm like, well,

320
00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:52,300
I'm going to check it out. So
I immediately go over. It's called

321
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:56,180
WYSIWYG and it's a new what
you see is what you get editor designed

322
00:21:56,180 --> 00:22:00,850
for World of Warcraft role
players who want cleaner, safer and

323
00:22:00,850 --> 00:22:04,690
more expensive expressive
messages. It's basically like an

324
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:08,970
IM window that allows you to
type in there. So instead of typing

325
00:22:08,970 --> 00:22:13,530
directly, like, like we
normally do in the chat box, where

326
00:22:13,530 --> 00:22:17,890
you can do like misfires or
there's typos or sometimes you could

327
00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:22,010
get disconnected if your
messages are too long. WYSIWYG basically

328
00:22:22,010 --> 00:22:24,890
gives players a dedicated
composition window where they can

329
00:22:24,890 --> 00:22:28,430
write revise and preview.
Their messages exist exactly as others

330
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:33,790
will see them. And so it helps
with. If you need to put like raid

331
00:22:33,790 --> 00:22:38,870
marker. A raid marker in chat,
it helps if you're hitting enter

332
00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:41,710
too soon, which I have done
and look like an idiot. Like mid

333
00:22:41,710 --> 00:22:44,670
sentence, my character's
talking and then he's like, because

334
00:22:44,670 --> 00:22:50,270
I hit enter. Or you may be
like losing emotes or accidentally

335
00:22:50,270 --> 00:22:52,470
like disconnecting or
something. Basically it gives you

336
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:56,030
a window so where instead of
typing slash E and then typing I

337
00:22:56,030 --> 00:22:59,590
can just type and know it's
going to go to the emote channel

338
00:22:59,590 --> 00:23:02,990
and continue the conversation
with other role players. It's amazing.

339
00:23:03,230 --> 00:23:06,710
If you are a role player, a
fan of it, like I am, go check out

340
00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:09,150
this add on and give them
support. This is a brand new add

341
00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:14,110
on. As of the time I
downloaded it, there was 73 downloads.

342
00:23:14,430 --> 00:23:17,310
So let's boost that up because
this is an amazing add on for a lot

343
00:23:17,310 --> 00:23:17,630
of people.

344
00:23:17,870 --> 00:23:22,310
Everything that I know about
roleplay Jibs has pretty much taught

345
00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:27,960
me and we've had a few
sessions, a few. And it's actually

346
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,000
really cool. And I think
again, it is like a whole other dimension

347
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,640
brought to your gameplay and
allows you, when you are actually

348
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,360
just playing the game, to get
into your character a little bit

349
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:46,040
more and you want to really
talk about forgetting about the world.

350
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,070
Role play is the way to do it because.

351
00:23:49,150 --> 00:23:49,790
Go do it.

352
00:23:49,950 --> 00:23:53,030
Yeah, it really is a lot of
fun. And there are tools like this.

353
00:23:53,030 --> 00:23:57,670
Like you taught me how to do
it with the native UI and I actually

354
00:23:57,670 --> 00:24:03,830
have a. I have a profile set
up for RP where you just. You know,

355
00:24:03,830 --> 00:24:06,630
I can just go and just change
my UI and then all of a sudden I

356
00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:11,350
have like the larger chat box
and stuff. So you can do that. But

357
00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:13,590
yeah, I could see where this
would be an issue and where this

358
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:16,700
would be super helpful. So I
love the way you found this. That's

359
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:17,300
really cool.

360
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:20,580
Yeah, yeah, they were. They
were super kind. Anyway, wanted to

361
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:23,460
give them some love. So role
players go check this out. It is

362
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:27,300
called WYSIWYG on Curse Forge.
Let's jump in the news.

363
00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:35,220
Breaking news brought to all
of you by the Goblin News Network.

364
00:24:36,820 --> 00:24:40,460
Let's get started. So World of
Warcraft Midnight Bloodtream Ties,

365
00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:43,140
the latest from Christy
Golden. I'm mention this real quick.

366
00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:47,500
It is out. It is. And I
messaged her on Twitter and she was

367
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,300
so kind and responded back
just with some. We were just having

368
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:55,740
a quick passing conversation.
Super kind. I'm in chapter four.

369
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:59,660
This is a prequel novel to
Midnight by the Way. And this is

370
00:24:59,740 --> 00:25:04,900
probably one of her best
novels I have ever read. And I am

371
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:09,510
a huge fan of Rise of the
Horde, Lord of the Clans. But her

372
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:14,110
pacing on this novel is so
darn good. And the characters, you

373
00:25:14,110 --> 00:25:16,430
feel it. You feel the love,
the tension, the things that are

374
00:25:16,430 --> 00:25:19,150
going on. It's amazing. So,
anyway, if folks, if you're like

375
00:25:19,150 --> 00:25:23,110
us, like Cash and I both,
like, we. We do both. So we'll read,

376
00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:26,070
you know, like physical copies
of books, but oftentimes we're on

377
00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:29,590
the go, so we go to Audible
for our stuff. Anyway. You can go

378
00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:32,670
find Blood Ties there on
Audible. Phenomenal book. I don't

379
00:25:32,670 --> 00:25:34,110
know if you had a chance to
jump into yours yet, but.

380
00:25:34,110 --> 00:25:38,630
Dude, I have not. But I do
want to give a very giant public

381
00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:43,110
thank you to you for providing
me that on. On Audible.

382
00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:43,830
Oh, you're welcome.

383
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:48,230
And yeah, so I'm. I'm looking
forward to diving into that book.

384
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:53,910
I've been admittedly listening
to a lot of music this week.

385
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:54,550
Me too.

386
00:25:54,550 --> 00:25:58,710
And podcasts this week. But,
yeah, within the next couple of weeks,

387
00:25:58,710 --> 00:26:01,500
I'm probably going to start
chunking through that book. I just.

388
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:03,620
I want to give it a little bit
more time. So we're a little bit

389
00:26:03,620 --> 00:26:06,340
closer to midnight, so it's
fresh in my mind.

390
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:07,380
Yeah, but.

391
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:10,820
But yeah, I love devouring
those books. And actually, I'm going

392
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:14,220
through the War of the
Ancients again right now for the

393
00:26:14,220 --> 00:26:18,340
second time, so I'm about
halfway through that one. And call

394
00:26:18,340 --> 00:26:25,420
me a nerd, but I re. Listen to
the chapters where Cenarius is in.

395
00:26:25,420 --> 00:26:29,800
He's in the Emerald Dream, and
he's. I just. I love those chapters

396
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,960
so much because it's so nature
y and it's completely relates to

397
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,240
my character. And so, anyway,
yeah, I did understand it the first

398
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,080
time. That was always a joke
that my dad had when I would watch

399
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,520
movies, like for a second and
third and fourth time, which, when

400
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:50,120
I was a kid, it was pretty
much Star wars. And his comment was

401
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:54,270
always like, what? You didn't
understand it the first time? No,

402
00:26:54,270 --> 00:26:57,550
I got it the first time, Dad.
I just really, really love this movie.

403
00:26:57,630 --> 00:26:58,910
That's funny. Yeah.

404
00:26:58,910 --> 00:27:02,030
So I have no problem crushing
books a second or third time.

405
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:05,430
Oh, yeah. Same, same, same,
same. Another one of those authors

406
00:27:05,430 --> 00:27:08,190
for me is John Gwynne.
Amazing, amazing author. But anyway,

407
00:27:08,350 --> 00:27:13,470
phenomenal. Phenomenal book. I
can't wait to finish it. Christy,

408
00:27:13,630 --> 00:27:16,590
I know you'll. You're probably
not, like, ever going to hear this,

409
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:19,430
but thank you so much again
for everything that you've done for

410
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:22,940
the Warcraft community over
the years. You are a writer of writers,

411
00:27:23,260 --> 00:27:27,380
and we are such big fans. So
thank you so, so much for all your

412
00:27:27,380 --> 00:27:30,980
hard work and dedication and
your labor of love, your true labor

413
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:34,820
of love through all the things
over the years. You're just. You

414
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:36,860
are well thought of and well
loved. So thank you.

415
00:27:36,940 --> 00:27:40,380
Best part is about that she. I
don't know if she's still playing

416
00:27:40,380 --> 00:27:42,780
Warcraft. She's a Warcraft
player. Like, that's how she started.

417
00:27:42,860 --> 00:27:43,340
Yeah.

418
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:46,780
And, man, so much lore.

419
00:27:47,270 --> 00:27:47,590
Yeah.

420
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:54,310
What an honor as a writer and
as a fan of. Of Warcraft, of the

421
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:56,550
series to be able to write for
it. Oh, my gosh.

422
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:59,190
Oh, it's the dream job, right?
Yeah. You know, she's a role player

423
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:00,270
when she played.

424
00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:03,349
I didn't. But it makes sense.
It makes sense, but I did not know

425
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:03,510
that.

426
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:05,830
Yeah. Yeah. I learned
something every day. Don't you? Oh,

427
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:08,470
hey, also, here's in the news.
The brutusaur's back.

428
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:11,510
Oh, I knew this one was going
to come up.

429
00:28:11,670 --> 00:28:15,590
And I want to give a personal
public thank you to my best good

430
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:19,750
buddy Cash, who decided to
gift said Brutus or to me, which

431
00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:22,630
was quite a surprise. And
shock. I called him immediately,

432
00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:25,390
like, take it back. You can't
do this. I can't repay you. But he

433
00:28:25,390 --> 00:28:27,350
did anyway, and he said, shut
up and take it.

434
00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:31,790
Those were my literal words.
No, I think. I think my literal words,

435
00:28:31,790 --> 00:28:35,230
like when I typed in the
little, like, text box, when you

436
00:28:35,230 --> 00:28:39,030
give something, I think I
said, shh, just let it happen.

437
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:41,370
Just let it. That's exactly
what you wrote.

438
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:42,410
Don't fight it.

439
00:28:42,410 --> 00:28:45,930
That's exactly. This thing is
huge. It's huge.

440
00:28:46,570 --> 00:28:51,530
Huge. And I think. I think it
was a principle of the thing when

441
00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:55,810
it came back out, because,
bro, it was literally last week when

442
00:28:55,810 --> 00:28:57,650
we were talking about the brontosaur.

443
00:28:57,650 --> 00:28:58,890
I know. Isn't that hilarious?

444
00:28:59,050 --> 00:29:02,810
And guess what pops up? Not
that I think there's any correlation

445
00:29:03,050 --> 00:29:07,020
to that at all. It was coming.
We had no idea it was coming. It

446
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:11,260
was just a. A true coincidence
that this thing showed up the next

447
00:29:11,260 --> 00:29:14,780
week and you sent me a message
like, look what's back in the store.

448
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:19,460
And I looked at it and I was
dying laughing. So it's like, well,

449
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:23,900
I guess we're getting
brontosaurus. And it happened. But

450
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:30,020
it's. It's pretty cool. And it
to me was a bucket list thing. And.

451
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:38,340
Yeah, yes, I'm dumb. I know it
was a cash grab, but I wanted it

452
00:29:38,340 --> 00:29:40,220
for my collection, so me.

453
00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:42,220
You know what, man?

454
00:29:42,220 --> 00:29:42,980
Now we got it.

455
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:46,540
Yeah, it's amazing, honestly,
it truly is amazing. And, you know,

456
00:29:46,540 --> 00:29:49,740
I know we kind of glossed over
it earlier at the opener, but the

457
00:29:49,740 --> 00:29:54,540
21st anniversary of World of
Warcraft, like, stealthfully arrived

458
00:29:56,220 --> 00:30:00,880
and just quietly started and,
you know, like, it's crazy to think

459
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,640
that Warcraft is now 21 years
old. When it launched, I would have

460
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,760
been 16. I was 16 years old
when that game came out and now I'm

461
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,280
just like, holy cow. Like,
this is just. It's crazy. It's crazy

462
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,400
to see how far it's come over
these years. The event is back. We

463
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,360
got some new mog in there. And
of course, on Moon Guard, the world's

464
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,780
always alive. So, I mean, you
go there and it's just full of people.

465
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:32,300
It's a sea of people in that
zone on Tanaris. And, man, it was

466
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:32,980
a really good time.

467
00:30:33,140 --> 00:30:37,220
Yeah, I actually found out
about that when I logged in again.

468
00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:39,700
You were right. It was. It was
kind of stealthy. I didn't know it

469
00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:43,660
was popping up and I'm sure it
was on the calendar, but I. I just

470
00:30:43,660 --> 00:30:48,580
missed it. So I logged in that
day and immediately head down, headed

471
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:53,310
down to Tanaris and. And I've
always loved that zone. So, you know,

472
00:30:53,310 --> 00:30:56,790
getting down there and I think
the last time, I think I did a little

473
00:30:56,790 --> 00:31:02,470
bit of it last year, but I
never really, like, dove into the

474
00:31:02,470 --> 00:31:05,550
car, you know, the whole
carnival event that was there and

475
00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:09,630
did all the quests. There's a
lot of stuff to do. And yeah, on

476
00:31:09,630 --> 00:31:13,350
our server, it was packed.
There were. There were tons of people

477
00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:17,070
down there, so I had a good
time doing it. Just running around

478
00:31:17,070 --> 00:31:21,030
killing the bosses, doing all
the little events. The one that makes

479
00:31:21,030 --> 00:31:25,590
you feel 100% inadequate is
doing the mount one.

480
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:29,790
Oh, gosh. You want to. Yeah,
you want to feel lackluster, go do

481
00:31:29,790 --> 00:31:30,310
that thing.

482
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:34,790
Yeah. And the way this works
is there's a big stage and there's

483
00:31:34,790 --> 00:31:40,070
a host on the stage and she
will announce what mount she's going

484
00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:46,280
to mount up on, and she will
mount up on it. And then you. You

485
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,960
have like, I don't know,
probably 20 seconds or something

486
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:54,880
to pull out the same mount and
mount on it. And when you're in a

487
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,640
crowd, especially like on our
server, there were people everywhere.

488
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,240
So I think at one point she
called the. What's the name of the

489
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,920
tree? The treant mount, the
one that changes with the seasons.

490
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,980
The. The grove guardian or
something like that.

491
00:32:10,980 --> 00:32:12,180
Yeah, something like that.

492
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,460
It's. I love this mount. It's
so Freaking cool. It's just. It's

493
00:32:16,460 --> 00:32:19,700
a giant treant, and you can
stand or you're sitting right on

494
00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:27,340
the top of it, just like, you
know, like little Frodo did in the

495
00:32:27,340 --> 00:32:31,140
Lord of the Rings. And this
thing is massive. And it changes

496
00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:35,770
colors. The leaves change
colors for the season. So everybody

497
00:32:35,770 --> 00:32:39,730
hops on this mount. I think
everybody and their brother had this

498
00:32:39,730 --> 00:32:43,690
mount, and it just looked like
a forest. It was so freaking cool

499
00:32:43,690 --> 00:32:46,290
the way it looked when
everybody popped up on the mount.

500
00:32:46,530 --> 00:32:50,690
But I think there's 15
different mounts per round that she

501
00:32:50,690 --> 00:32:56,050
does, and I think the most I
had of all the mounts that she did

502
00:32:56,050 --> 00:32:58,210
in any round was like, six.

503
00:32:58,530 --> 00:33:00,470
Oh, exactly. Same for me.

504
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:04,340
Yeah. And the people that have
the. The highest amount, when she

505
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:08,420
calls them out, obviously are
the winners or is the winner of the

506
00:33:08,420 --> 00:33:11,460
competition. I'm like, yeah, I
will never win this one. Like, that's

507
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:15,220
for the. For the true mount
collector, right? That just has tons

508
00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:16,060
and tons of mounts.

509
00:33:16,060 --> 00:33:17,180
Yeah, that's cool, too.

510
00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:19,620
Yeah, it's. It is a cool
event, though. There's a. There's

511
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:21,780
a bunch of stuff like that
that you can do in there. There's

512
00:33:21,780 --> 00:33:26,350
one with. With Lore Walker Cho
when he's telling a story, and, you

513
00:33:26,350 --> 00:33:29,670
know, you get to react to it
with all these emotes and stuff,

514
00:33:29,670 --> 00:33:33,110
and then, you know, you get to
complete the quest. But just a lot

515
00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:38,270
of fun, a lot of celebratory
fun for the 21st anniversary. And

516
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:41,910
from what I understand, a lot
of them are the same from last year,

517
00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:44,670
but honestly, like, I don't
care. I'll do them every year. They're.

518
00:33:44,670 --> 00:33:47,670
They're really. It's just a
really neat thing to be able to celebrate

519
00:33:47,670 --> 00:33:49,510
the. The birthday of the game.

520
00:33:49,510 --> 00:33:51,710
Yeah. Anything that brings the
community together is always a win.

521
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:55,140
That's why Blizzcon is such a
powerful thing. You know, fans and

522
00:33:55,140 --> 00:33:58,940
basically family in one area,
and that's what just makes it so

523
00:33:58,940 --> 00:34:01,780
strong and powerful. And
that's agreed. Same with this. With

524
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:05,460
this event as well. So anyway,
folks, jump in, enjoy it, have fun,

525
00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:09,700
and happy birthday, Azeroth.
You're 21. Still looking young.

526
00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:13,660
Hey, yeah, Happy birthday.
Sorry. You still got that sword in

527
00:34:13,660 --> 00:34:14,100
your get.

528
00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:19,320
All right, so here we go,
folks. We're going to take our time

529
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,640
jumping through this one
because this is a long one, so we're

530
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,480
just going to kind of break it
up and talk a little bit about it.

531
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,960
So Midnight prologue, the
warning content Update goes live.

532
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,760
December 2nd now has been
moved up to third. Actually, this

533
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,400
coming to us from Warcraft.com
which, by the way, folks like Blizzard's

534
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,440
Facebook account put out the
fact that the date had been moved,

535
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
but I never saw anything
official on the World of Warcraft

536
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,850
page on its actual account. So
it's. I believe this has been moved

537
00:34:49,850 --> 00:34:55,130
to December 3rd and then
December 4th for EU. So we'll just

538
00:34:55,130 --> 00:34:56,850
kind of go along with that as from.

539
00:34:56,850 --> 00:34:57,770
Sure hope you're right.

540
00:34:57,770 --> 00:35:00,930
Well, it was. It makes me feel
weird. It's like I'm. It's like I'm

541
00:35:00,930 --> 00:35:03,090
taking a step and then I'm
like, should I take that step?

542
00:35:04,050 --> 00:35:07,890
Well, I'm gonna look at it,
but I'm just double checking. Normally

543
00:35:07,890 --> 00:35:10,850
big releases come out on
Tuesdays, Right. It's kind of a.

544
00:35:10,930 --> 00:35:12,050
Kind of a gaming thing.

545
00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:12,630
Yeah.

546
00:35:12,790 --> 00:35:17,990
So if this changes, this has
changed to the Wednesday. That's.

547
00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:22,070
That's kind of a big deal. Why
would they bump it back one day?

548
00:35:22,470 --> 00:35:25,430
It may be looking at right
now. Yeah, go ahead. You do that.

549
00:35:25,430 --> 00:35:29,950
And I'll just keep going here.
So Patch 11.7.1.2.7 closes out the

550
00:35:29,950 --> 00:35:33,910
war within and opens the final
chapter before midnight. Players

551
00:35:33,910 --> 00:35:37,430
continue the campaign in
visions of a shadowed Sun. Dive into

552
00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:41,700
revamped new new returning
player experiences. Explore the Elven

553
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:45,700
Lore Walking scenario. Unlock
Pandaren Heritage Armor, which is

554
00:35:45,700 --> 00:35:50,020
pretty cool. Enter Shadowlands
Time Walking. Finally revisit the

555
00:35:50,020 --> 00:35:53,580
Brawlers Guild. Yes, please.
And for midnight pre purchasers.

556
00:35:54,059 --> 00:35:58,780
Can't wait for this step into
housing early access. What'd you

557
00:35:58,780 --> 00:35:59,020
find?

558
00:35:59,180 --> 00:36:01,500
Everything I'm looking at is
saying December 2nd.

559
00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:05,230
Now go to the Blizzard account
on Facebook. The Blizzard Entertainment.

560
00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:07,030
Yeah, this is all saying
December 2nd.

561
00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:07,670
No.

562
00:36:07,830 --> 00:36:11,110
Wowhead, Reddit, the Wiki,
Blizzard Watch.

563
00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:14,470
No, go to the Blizzard
Entertainment's Facebook page. You're

564
00:36:14,470 --> 00:36:18,230
not even. You didn't even do
the one thing I gave you One thing.

565
00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:19,510
One job.

566
00:36:20,710 --> 00:36:22,230
Sheesh. Tryharder next time.

567
00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:26,190
I'm not even gonna do it now.
Requires me to pull up a different

568
00:36:26,190 --> 00:36:28,630
window under a different
account. I'm not doing it.

569
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,120
Oh, I love this so much. All
right, so anyway, folks, continuing

570
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,440
the War within campaign,
Visions of a Shadowed son. So the

571
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,280
big shout out, by the way to
Mr. GM, he put out a great overview

572
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,640
video of what this. What this
looks like. And so we're. We are

573
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,160
relying on that for a lot of.
A lot of this discussion. So if you.

574
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,240
Anyway, if you want to go see
the actual video, go check it out

575
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:54,720
over Mr. GM's YouTube page.
But. So with the ghosts of Koresh

576
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:59,090
defeated, a darker threat
surfaces. Verisa Windrunner is plagued

577
00:36:59,090 --> 00:37:03,290
by visions, prophesying the
fall of Quel' Thalas tying directly

578
00:37:03,290 --> 00:37:06,930
into midnight. So anyway,
highlights for this sets the stage

579
00:37:06,930 --> 00:37:10,730
for the midnight expansion.
It's going to be a heavy, heavy Windrunner

580
00:37:10,730 --> 00:37:14,410
family focus. Oh, if you just
knew what happened. That's been edited

581
00:37:14,410 --> 00:37:16,370
out. You have no idea and you
will never know.

582
00:37:17,250 --> 00:37:18,970
Maybe he said the F word.

583
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:21,970
I did not say that at all.
Come to BlizzCon and we'll tell you.

584
00:37:21,970 --> 00:37:22,310
All right. So.

585
00:37:22,460 --> 00:37:24,740
So fully go F yourself. Azeroth.

586
00:37:24,740 --> 00:37:26,300
I did not say that.

587
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:28,460
Okay.

588
00:37:28,460 --> 00:37:32,380
Fully voiced with cinematic
moments. And then rewards the Carrick's

589
00:37:32,540 --> 00:37:36,220
swiftwing mount mid campaign
which that was something that was

590
00:37:36,220 --> 00:37:39,420
kind of discussed Mr. GM's
video. It's. It's unique so it's

591
00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:42,700
not a end of the campaign
reward. You're going to get this

592
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:46,580
reward right smack dab in the
middle of this, this entire campaign

593
00:37:46,580 --> 00:37:49,960
experience. So can look
forward to that. And then also housing

594
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,760
early access is coming. Dude,
we have been waiting for this since

595
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,480
the trailer dropped. You
remember that?

596
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:01,680
Yes, yes, we have. And we have
since found some different tools

597
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:07,240
and found out that there are
some vendors coming for remix in

598
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:12,040
order to find the things that
you can buy. And through looking

599
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,770
through achievements and stuff
for a lot of old content that you

600
00:38:15,770 --> 00:38:20,330
may or may not have finished
in order to unlock certain housing

601
00:38:20,330 --> 00:38:24,890
items. We have yet discovered
another way to feel inadequate in

602
00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:28,530
Azeroth because there's a.

603
00:38:28,530 --> 00:38:32,130
Lot of stuff and there's that
add on too I think you brought up

604
00:38:32,130 --> 00:38:35,730
on an earlier episode
homebound. Homebound, yeah, you can

605
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:39,850
download. It doesn't have
everything but you can see like what

606
00:38:39,850 --> 00:38:43,090
it does list like where you're
at with achievements and what, what

607
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:45,450
furnishings you know that you
may or may not be getting, which

608
00:38:45,450 --> 00:38:45,890
is pretty cool.

609
00:38:45,890 --> 00:38:49,330
And they're actively adding
stuff to that too, which is what's

610
00:38:49,330 --> 00:38:52,450
cool about homebound. I mean
that is going to turn into an amazing

611
00:38:52,450 --> 00:38:56,610
repository for items that are
in the game as long as they keep

612
00:38:56,610 --> 00:39:00,570
developing a lot of items that
are in the game that you can get

613
00:39:00,570 --> 00:39:03,570
and what achievements they are
tied to. Which again, if you want

614
00:39:03,570 --> 00:39:06,690
to feel inadequate, go take a
look at homebound.

615
00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:10,500
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty. It's
pretty awesome. Great download. And

616
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:12,900
so some of the features that
are coming in early access with the

617
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:16,860
housing it's room decorating
and decor collection which is around,

618
00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:23,580
I think the Official number is
2200ish items. Room layouts, neighborhoods,

619
00:39:23,580 --> 00:39:27,780
both public guild and charter
guild Neighborhood creation Legacy

620
00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:32,140
Decor drops crafted decor via
the new lumber resource that Cash

621
00:39:32,140 --> 00:39:35,100
was mentioning earlier. Flying
in neighborhoods which is going to

622
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:39,220
be fun. And then, of course, a
new housing tutorial. And then alliance

623
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:43,420
will be in Founders Point and
the Horde will be in Razor Wind Shores.

624
00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:48,100
I am very much looking forward
to having said neighborhood. I'm

625
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:49,500
TPing your house immediately.

626
00:39:52,620 --> 00:39:56,860
Anyway, folks, a major
overhaul for new and returning players

627
00:39:57,820 --> 00:40:03,020
in the smoothest. What is
being touted as the smoothest onboarding

628
00:40:03,020 --> 00:40:06,660
World of Warcraft has ever
had. If I could only have gotten

629
00:40:06,660 --> 00:40:11,300
my daughter to wait, but she
was so eager to play. So I did think

630
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:16,780
about that, though. I thought
about saying, let's. Can you hold

631
00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:19,900
for a few weeks? Because. And
then I just went, nope, we ain't

632
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:23,940
holding. Build your character.
We're going through the old. The

633
00:40:23,940 --> 00:40:28,580
old newbie island, which was
fine. We had a good time. But yeah,

634
00:40:28,580 --> 00:40:34,450
they are. They are majorly
revamping the new player experience,

635
00:40:34,930 --> 00:40:40,850
which is really supposed to
speed things up and steer you in

636
00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:43,850
the right direction with less
confusion, which I think is really

637
00:40:43,850 --> 00:40:49,050
cool. So there's. There's
things like the Exile's reach is

638
00:40:49,050 --> 00:40:53,410
going to be with Jaina now.
And Thrall and Wrathion and Jibs.

639
00:40:53,570 --> 00:40:57,650
Favorite character who shows
up and tells you what to do, but

640
00:40:57,650 --> 00:40:59,010
never lends a hand.

641
00:40:59,850 --> 00:41:02,780
Knowledge is powder. Wait,
that's not right.

642
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:06,300
That's right. Mr. Khadgar is
going to be part of this team.

643
00:41:06,860 --> 00:41:11,940
Oh, man, you know, I sure
wouldn't. Well, that's spoilery.

644
00:41:11,940 --> 00:41:13,620
I don't want to say that from
a war with them.

645
00:41:13,620 --> 00:41:14,860
Oh, Kadgar.

646
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:17,740
Oh, buddy. He's still kicking.

647
00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:20,220
He's good boy. Which is why I
was surprised you put him in the.

648
00:41:20,220 --> 00:41:20,940
In the intro.

649
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:21,900
In the intro.

650
00:41:22,540 --> 00:41:26,230
Yeah, he was in the intro. You
know, we do the intro voice right

651
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:29,030
afterwards. Like last week.
Don't you remember?

652
00:41:29,270 --> 00:41:29,670
No.

653
00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:31,110
At the beginning of the show.

654
00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:31,750
Yeah.

655
00:41:31,830 --> 00:41:34,790
Azeroth Morning Radio. Yeah,
our show.

656
00:41:34,790 --> 00:41:35,270
Yeah.

657
00:41:35,430 --> 00:41:38,630
You put in a sound bite of
somebody from the game.

658
00:41:38,710 --> 00:41:39,190
Yeah.

659
00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:39,990
Every week. Yeah. Who's 50 here?

660
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:46,990
Oh, that. I thought you meant
the intro. Intro to the show. The

661
00:41:46,990 --> 00:41:52,440
files are inside the computer.
That wasn't the. Not today. That

662
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,160
wasn't that today.

663
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,160
That was Khadgar, bud.

664
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,960
No, that's an undead. That's a
male undead. Here, you wanna hear

665
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:58,280
it again?

666
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,560
Well, yeah. And you do it
again. Okay, here we go. And you

667
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,640
see, that's gotta be the same
voice actor as Khadgar.

668
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,320
Oh, no way. This is way better.

669
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:16,040
And you, and you. I can do
that too. With a goblin voice.

670
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Hey, yeah. Hey. Yeah, you are.
And you say you disappear. All right,

671
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,320
anyway, go ahead. Sorry.

672
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,680
Who are you again. Anyway.

673
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,400
All right.

674
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,920
Talk about derailment.

675
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,200
I know. Sorry, folks.

676
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,640
Okay, so anyway, with this.
With this new cast of characters,

677
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,440
you are going to experience as
a new player a faster transition

678
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,840
into Dragonflight, which is
great. I think that's awesome. And

679
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,880
not only is it going to be a
faster transition into Dragonflight,

680
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,760
but it's to going. Going to be
an accelerated leveling experience

681
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,240
to get you into. Into Midnight
as fast as possible.

682
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,000
Yeah.

683
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,560
So you go Dragonflight, I
assume war within, and then you drop

684
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:06,480
into Midnight. Right. So we're
looking 60, 70, you know, 60 to 70

685
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,560
and then 70 to 80.

686
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,920
Yeah. Then 80 to 90. Yeah.

687
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,760
And 80 to 90.

688
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:11,160
Yeah.

689
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,540
Yep, yep. I love it. I think
that's great. So there's going to

690
00:43:14,540 --> 00:43:17,260
be a scenario with Jane and
Thrall through Arathi Highlands,

691
00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:22,780
and that is going to teach the
gameplay fundamentals. It's going

692
00:43:22,780 --> 00:43:26,340
to provide a set of starter
gear in bags, which is huge. That's

693
00:43:26,340 --> 00:43:29,820
the one cheat that I sent to
my daughter. Or bags.

694
00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:33,180
You're a bag dealer. You know
that anytime I was in the midst of

695
00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:40,540
making my 1 of 1 million alts,
you were always on par on could count

696
00:43:40,540 --> 00:43:44,030
on it every time. Do you need
bags? I'll get you bags. I'm like,

697
00:43:44,030 --> 00:43:46,310
no, it's okay. He's like, I
know you'd like to earn your own

698
00:43:46,310 --> 00:43:49,790
gold, but do you need bags?
He's. Oh, he's, you know, if you

699
00:43:49,790 --> 00:43:52,270
need bags, cash is your man. I
mean, he's an.

700
00:43:52,270 --> 00:43:52,710
I'm your man.

701
00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:53,950
He's a good man for that.

702
00:43:54,030 --> 00:43:58,910
I don't want bags and bag
space and inventory control to be

703
00:43:59,390 --> 00:44:03,470
a factor in whether or not
anybody says effort. I'm not playing

704
00:44:03,470 --> 00:44:06,030
this game. Do not want that.

705
00:44:06,110 --> 00:44:08,640
Honestly, you should be a
vendor. You should be a vendor in

706
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,960
the npc. In the game that just
sells bags. That would be your bags.

707
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,040
Get your bags.

708
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:16,360
That's hilarious.

709
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:21,640
We'll treat those bags under
your eyes too. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

710
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,200
I'm the bad guy. So I was
excited about this new new Lore walking

711
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,560
scenario with a Lore Walker. Cho.

712
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,080
Yeah.

713
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:29,680
Is coming.

714
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:30,280
Yeah.

715
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,600
And that is going to detail
the elves of Quel'. Thalas.

716
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:34,720
Mm.

717
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,800
Yes. So it says. Join
Lorewalker Cho to revisit core moments

718
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,880
in Blood Elf and Void Elf
history. They're gonna cover the

719
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,560
Scourge attack on Silvermoon,
the Lich King's assault on the Sunwell,

720
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:51,760
the corruption of the Sunwell,
and the origins of the Void elves.

721
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:57,960
And what you get out of this,
it's not a lame toy. You get The

722
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,130
Tome of Silvermoon Intrigue,
which is for your house.

723
00:45:02,210 --> 00:45:06,210
It's beautiful too. It's very,
very beautiful. And honestly, it's

724
00:45:06,210 --> 00:45:09,970
really cool they're doing
this. There's a ton of people within

725
00:45:09,970 --> 00:45:13,130
the roleplay community that
play blood elves and I know for a

726
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:16,050
shadow of a doubt they will
eat that up. So that's, that's awesome.

727
00:45:16,050 --> 00:45:16,650
That's cool.

728
00:45:16,650 --> 00:45:19,810
Yeah. And again, we've talked
a lot about, you know, because we're

729
00:45:19,810 --> 00:45:23,970
lord, we are definitely lore
nerds. And if in a perfect world

730
00:45:24,050 --> 00:45:28,940
we would be teaching you lore,
which might still be a thing down,

731
00:45:29,660 --> 00:45:31,580
you know, maybe bite sized
lore, you know, we.

732
00:45:31,580 --> 00:45:34,580
Got a message about that.
Someone asked us, they're like, we

733
00:45:34,580 --> 00:45:37,900
got a, that's the nicest
message from somebody that's followed

734
00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:43,260
us for the last seven years on
our shows. And they're like, when

735
00:45:43,260 --> 00:45:45,420
you guys, please tell me you
guys are going to cover lore. Because

736
00:45:45,420 --> 00:45:47,660
that's normally what we're
known for. That's normally our shtick.

737
00:45:47,820 --> 00:45:51,060
I'm like, well, never say
never. But I'm like, he does bring

738
00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:52,260
up a good point. Yeah.

739
00:45:52,260 --> 00:45:55,780
And it's, it's not off the
table. I wouldn't say that it's off

740
00:45:55,780 --> 00:45:58,940
the table, but when you look
at like the Karazhan Library.

741
00:45:58,940 --> 00:45:59,580
Oh yeah.

742
00:45:59,580 --> 00:46:06,980
And, and Noble, it's like
those folks are absolute beasts in

743
00:46:06,980 --> 00:46:10,140
this, in this community. And
you know, not that it would be like

744
00:46:10,140 --> 00:46:14,340
a. Because we tell lore the
way that we like to tell lore. We,

745
00:46:14,340 --> 00:46:17,780
we do it in our own way. We
don't change the lore. But we, we,

746
00:46:18,180 --> 00:46:22,500
I, I think Jibs and I, in our,
in our past, we've always been storytellers

747
00:46:22,820 --> 00:46:27,180
and we, we enjoy that kind of
stuff very, very much. We were very

748
00:46:27,180 --> 00:46:30,380
heavily involved in lore when
we were covering. Oh yeah, Elder

749
00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:35,780
Scrolls online games. It was
called Lore Seekers. Yeah, exactly.

750
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:40,300
Because we, we definitely were
seeking lore and we got. You want

751
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:43,750
to talk about another game
with some very deep lore, but Warcraft

752
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:51,470
lore is, it's deep. It goes
very deep. Like way more books, way

753
00:46:51,470 --> 00:46:56,750
more stuff to dive into a ton
of theory crafting about the lore.

754
00:46:56,830 --> 00:47:01,470
So we're not saying that lore
is off the table for us, but we just,

755
00:47:01,470 --> 00:47:04,710
we, I think we need to figure
out how we want to do it and it might

756
00:47:04,710 --> 00:47:08,590
end up being a YouTube thing
down, down the road. You know, once,

757
00:47:08,590 --> 00:47:12,150
once this show is, you know,
going well and we, we feel very comfortable,

758
00:47:12,470 --> 00:47:15,750
I, at least I know I will get
the itch to start creating videos.

759
00:47:15,910 --> 00:47:17,590
So. Yeah, at some point.

760
00:47:18,150 --> 00:47:19,190
Yeah, never say never.

761
00:47:19,350 --> 00:47:24,310
But yeah, never say never. So,
you know, back to Lore. Friendly

762
00:47:24,310 --> 00:47:28,430
things. The Pandaren heritage
armor is also going to be a thing.

763
00:47:28,430 --> 00:47:32,510
Return to the Wandering Isle
for a new Heritage Quest line centered

764
00:47:32,510 --> 00:47:36,590
around the Spirit Festival.
And there's some rewards you can

765
00:47:36,590 --> 00:47:40,670
get. There's a blue set for
the Alliance, a red set for the Horde,

766
00:47:40,990 --> 00:47:45,790
a black set which is neutral,
and the source is still unknown.

767
00:47:45,870 --> 00:47:52,270
I love the cryptic stuff. And
it's difficult to get black items

768
00:47:52,270 --> 00:47:58,110
in this game. Yeah, it is very
difficult. I remember you and I specifically

769
00:47:58,110 --> 00:48:02,750
waited for the longest time
for a black cloak.

770
00:48:02,910 --> 00:48:05,660
Oh, my gosh. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

771
00:48:06,620 --> 00:48:09,580
You're gonna have to remind
me. I don't think that there is a

772
00:48:09,580 --> 00:48:12,540
black hood for that cloak that
we got.

773
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:15,020
Yeah, there is. Yep. I'll show
it to you.

774
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:19,260
Must be buried in my stuff
somewhere because I was looking specifically

775
00:48:19,260 --> 00:48:22,020
for it the other day. For the
one that matches the cloak. The hood

776
00:48:22,020 --> 00:48:22,780
that matches the cloak.

777
00:48:22,780 --> 00:48:23,140
Yeah.

778
00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:24,100
I could not find it.

779
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:24,700
I'll help you.

780
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:28,180
Okay. Yeah, I'm sure I
probably have it, but. And then there

781
00:48:28,180 --> 00:48:31,730
is a rideable hot air balloon
toy which I'm sure will get used.

782
00:48:32,050 --> 00:48:33,090
Oh, gosh.

783
00:48:33,090 --> 00:48:35,450
I want raid lobbies everywhere.

784
00:48:35,450 --> 00:48:38,130
I want that so bad. There's
going to be red balloons all over

785
00:48:38,610 --> 00:48:42,930
or hot air balloons all over.
Storm Wind. Man, I'm all about it.

786
00:48:43,570 --> 00:48:47,410
Reminded me of that part from
Napoleon Dynamite. He's trying to

787
00:48:47,410 --> 00:48:51,170
sell the Tupperware. The wife
looks at her husband, she goes, I

788
00:48:51,170 --> 00:48:51,730
want that.

789
00:48:51,730 --> 00:48:55,490
I want that. Oh, man.

790
00:48:55,490 --> 00:48:56,850
Oh, my God, we're such doors.

791
00:48:56,850 --> 00:49:00,150
Oh, that's good. And then
Shadowlands Time Walking is being

792
00:49:00,150 --> 00:49:03,110
debuted. So this is a new 10
week cycle they're doing for this.

793
00:49:03,350 --> 00:49:06,710
Shadowlands enters Time
Walking for the very first time.

794
00:49:06,950 --> 00:49:09,390
Folks, whether you're a fan of
this expansion or not, there's some

795
00:49:09,390 --> 00:49:12,470
amazing rewards that come
along with this for Time Walking.

796
00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:16,390
So includes the Dungeons,
Necrotic Wake, Spires of Ascension,

797
00:49:16,470 --> 00:49:21,270
Plague Fall, the Other side,
Halls of Atonement and Sanguine Depths.

798
00:49:21,670 --> 00:49:24,270
Oh, and actually gives you
specifics here. So three new mounts,

799
00:49:24,270 --> 00:49:27,940
new transmog sets, new pet
sets, and part of the turbulent Timeways

800
00:49:27,940 --> 00:49:32,780
event, which is returning.
They were saying Wowhead was reporting

801
00:49:32,780 --> 00:49:36,820
it was gone and now it's back
again from what I'm seeing. So, yeah,

802
00:49:36,820 --> 00:49:40,460
December 3rd through February
10th. But anyway, the meta reward

803
00:49:40,460 --> 00:49:43,700
this time, the big reward you
do this for, I think it's five weeks.

804
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:49,060
It's Pterodon's mount voucher.
Choose one of four bronze Shadowlands

805
00:49:49,060 --> 00:49:50,660
Covenant Recolor mounts.

806
00:49:50,980 --> 00:49:55,680
So really good time to beef up
gear if you have alts, if you're

807
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,640
trying to get ready for
midnight. And I think there's a reason

808
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,760
for this Shadowlands Time
walking being on a 10 week cycle.

809
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,400
First of all, people have been
screaming for Shadowlands time walking.

810
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,160
Good dungeons.

811
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:10,560
Yeah, great dungeons. And the
fact that it's running for 10 weeks.

812
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:14,480
This is going to be an
excellent opportunity to get your

813
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,160
characters geared up. Now I
know we're going to talk about them

814
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:24,670
coming up, but this reminds me
of our friend Stark who is a huge

815
00:50:24,670 --> 00:50:27,790
fan of the other side and
wants to see the other side on a

816
00:50:27,790 --> 00:50:31,830
mythic rotation. Which I think
would be awesome because he. He's

817
00:50:31,830 --> 00:50:39,470
right. Like Diada Sidemon is a
fantastic dungeon. Like one of my

818
00:50:39,470 --> 00:50:40,990
favorite dungeons.

819
00:50:41,070 --> 00:50:44,030
Oh, you missed me.

820
00:50:44,430 --> 00:50:48,670
You know, I've only ever ran
that one time. One time. I have never.

821
00:50:48,670 --> 00:50:52,870
I just not because purposely
didn't do it. I just never got to

822
00:50:52,870 --> 00:50:56,830
really experience it one time.
Literally one. I don't remember what

823
00:50:56,830 --> 00:50:57,230
it is.

824
00:50:57,310 --> 00:51:02,630
I will say there is. There's a
mechanic in there where you got to

825
00:51:02,630 --> 00:51:06,550
kind of break off into groups
and you gotta like kind of go your.

826
00:51:06,550 --> 00:51:10,830
Your separate ways. And if you
don't know that mechanic, I can imagine

827
00:51:10,830 --> 00:51:17,540
how 100 unforgiving it's gonna
be be in mythic. I mean it's, it's.

828
00:51:17,540 --> 00:51:21,380
It's like anything else in a.
In a Mythic if you don't know the

829
00:51:21,380 --> 00:51:24,260
mechanic, you're. You're gonna
suffer. Especially in those higher

830
00:51:24,260 --> 00:51:27,820
keys. But yeah, the other, the
other side is going to be one to.

831
00:51:28,220 --> 00:51:31,420
If it does come to a mythic
rotation right now it's, it's not

832
00:51:31,420 --> 00:51:33,420
a thing. We're just
theoretically talking. If it does,

833
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:36,740
that's going to be one that
you're gonna have to definitely pay

834
00:51:36,740 --> 00:51:38,740
attention to that mechanic and
know what you're doing before you

835
00:51:38,740 --> 00:51:40,070
even step foot in that thing.

836
00:51:40,310 --> 00:51:44,070
Well, that's guaranteed Jib's
dirt nap because that's typically

837
00:51:44,070 --> 00:51:46,310
my mythic experience. Whenever
I try that stuff.

838
00:51:47,110 --> 00:51:48,790
Guaranteed to burn my battle res.

839
00:51:51,190 --> 00:51:55,109
Oh gosh. And so anyway folks,
this is available and then something

840
00:51:55,109 --> 00:51:59,230
that is coming up that's near
and dear to actually we're more curious

841
00:51:59,230 --> 00:52:00,950
than anything because I don't
think we've ever actually done it.

842
00:52:01,030 --> 00:52:03,990
I know I haven't. Maybe you
did. The Brawlers Guild's coming

843
00:52:03,990 --> 00:52:08,550
back. So this comes back on
December 9th. So if you are alliance,

844
00:52:08,550 --> 00:52:14,630
it's in Bismo's Brawl Pub,
which is underneath the train. The

845
00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:20,030
tram that takes you to
Ironforge from Stormwind Then Ogrimar,

846
00:52:20,030 --> 00:52:23,230
it's the Brawgar Arena.
There's new housing, decor, it's

847
00:52:23,230 --> 00:52:27,670
available recolor flying mount
and Bruce, a new color variant. So

848
00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:28,110
there's that.

849
00:52:28,110 --> 00:52:31,470
Yeah. And if you don't know
what the Brawlers Guild is, it is

850
00:52:31,630 --> 00:52:37,910
essentially a series of. Of
1v1 fights. You versus a boss. So

851
00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:43,070
if you can picture like
fighting the. The Kingpin was the

852
00:52:43,070 --> 00:52:45,950
Kingpin. Yeah, yeah. If you
can picture fighting the Kingpin,

853
00:52:45,950 --> 00:52:48,510
like that's what these fights
are going to be like. I don't think

854
00:52:48,510 --> 00:52:51,870
they're going to be as
difficult, but it's a. It's a similar

855
00:52:51,870 --> 00:52:56,590
system to that. And I don't
think Brawler's Guild has been around.

856
00:52:57,310 --> 00:52:59,070
It's been a few expansions.

857
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,240
Yeah. Was it Cataclysm?

858
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:05,040
I don't think that many. I
think I want to say maybe Shadowlands.

859
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,760
It was around, but I think
you're right. It's coming back and

860
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,480
that's fantastic. Yeah, it's
coming back.

861
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,640
And by the way folks, Bruce is
a alligator mount. So whenever you.

862
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,560
You see that, that's what's
referring to. And then finally the

863
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:24,400
War Within Meta achievement
world soul searching. So zone spanning

864
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:29,140
meta similar to prior
expansions. Complete story exploration

865
00:53:29,220 --> 00:53:34,260
and activity milestones across
time. Or the War Within. For a large

866
00:53:34,340 --> 00:53:37,900
collectible reward. We got
some pretty awesome stuff to look

867
00:53:37,900 --> 00:53:40,500
forward to. You know, I'm
excited about this patch, man.

868
00:53:40,500 --> 00:53:43,780
Yeah, we do. This is. It's
going to be a huge patch. We have

869
00:53:43,780 --> 00:53:50,140
some friends that have hopped
into, into the beta and we hear a

870
00:53:50,140 --> 00:53:57,950
lot of giggles and oh my
words. And oh my G, that was awesome.

871
00:53:58,110 --> 00:54:00,830
And there's a lot more cussing
than that. I'm just trying to dummy

872
00:54:00,830 --> 00:54:06,270
it down a little bit. But
happy stuff just because the things

873
00:54:06,270 --> 00:54:09,630
that are coming in the beta
are really good. And I do have to

874
00:54:09,630 --> 00:54:11,990
hand it to some of our
friends. They've been very good about

875
00:54:11,990 --> 00:54:16,470
not spoiling anything because
we hate spoilers. I would rather

876
00:54:16,470 --> 00:54:18,630
just wait and watch.

877
00:54:19,030 --> 00:54:19,590
Agreed.

878
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:22,910
And, but most, I think most of
the stuff that our friends are doing

879
00:54:22,910 --> 00:54:24,710
is looking at combat changes.

880
00:54:24,790 --> 00:54:25,150
Yeah.

881
00:54:25,150 --> 00:54:28,510
And seeing what. Figuring out
what classes they want to play for

882
00:54:28,510 --> 00:54:32,870
midnight. And it sounds like
there's a lot of really good stuff

883
00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:39,990
coming and that the zones are
just drop dead gorgeous. So I'm.

884
00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:42,150
I'm really looking forward to
that. I think it's going to be a

885
00:54:42,150 --> 00:54:47,130
really good holiday season
with housing coming and the pre patch

886
00:54:47,210 --> 00:54:50,970
and shortly afterwards in the
new year, we're going to be seeing

887
00:54:50,970 --> 00:54:51,610
midnight.

888
00:54:51,850 --> 00:54:54,770
Agreed. There you go, folks.
We're going to Snark. We'll be right

889
00:54:54,770 --> 00:54:55,050
back.

890
00:55:01,530 --> 00:55:02,810
Snark online.

891
00:55:09,060 --> 00:55:14,260
All right, folks, let me grab
what it's okay. All right, so today

892
00:55:14,340 --> 00:55:20,300
we have. Ooh, it's a new one.
Goblin R and D Roundtable. All right,

893
00:55:20,300 --> 00:55:23,460
let's explain how this one
works. So quote, time to unleash

894
00:55:23,780 --> 00:55:30,740
chaos on Azeroth responsibly.
Ish. So whenever Snark spits this

895
00:55:30,740 --> 00:55:33,980
out, the hosts gather to pitch
a brand new wow feature, debate the

896
00:55:33,980 --> 00:55:38,910
merits, mock the flaws, and
speculate on the chaos it might unleash.

897
00:55:39,150 --> 00:55:43,070
From genuine clever ideas to
completely absurd Goblin grade inventions.

898
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:47,710
No concept is too sacred or
too ridiculous for the roundtable.

899
00:55:48,110 --> 00:55:48,950
Dun, dun, dun.

900
00:55:48,950 --> 00:55:53,230
Ooh, this one is new. I kind
of know the topic, but admittedly

901
00:55:53,790 --> 00:55:58,670
stayed away from this for a
fresh take on this R and D Roundtable.

902
00:55:58,670 --> 00:56:02,280
Okay, when you want to talk
about the. The topic here and how

903
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:03,040
it came to be.

904
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,760
Yeah. So we were in Discord
the other day hanging with some friends

905
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,280
and we got to talking about
support class, support role, the

906
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,720
support role itself within
World of Warcraft and kind of the

907
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:22,400
lifespan from launch to its
current state of the Evoker. And

908
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,040
you know, some people were
kind of commenting about what it

909
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,770
was versus what it is now.
And. And I think they were saying,

910
00:56:29,770 --> 00:56:31,930
I've never played it, but I
think they were saying that it's

911
00:56:31,930 --> 00:56:38,050
kind of in a spot where it's
nothing like it once was. And someone

912
00:56:38,050 --> 00:56:41,290
brought it up in chat. I don't
even know who it was, but they said,

913
00:56:41,370 --> 00:56:49,690
why don't they just make group
size 6 players and immediately you

914
00:56:49,690 --> 00:56:53,770
have a spot for the support
role. It has a spot, a designated

915
00:56:53,770 --> 00:57:00,640
spot within your group. And it
kind of validates that role that

916
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,040
Blizzard was trying to bring
to the game to begin with. With Evoker.

917
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,080
Yeah. And it was. We mentioned
him earlier, but it was our friend

918
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,320
Stark, who a lot of our
friends are very convinced that he

919
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,440
works for Blizzard on the
side, but we know he doesn't. He

920
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,000
just knows a lot about this
game and has been playing it for

921
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:25,040
a long time because years ago
I slipped the discs under his dorm

922
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:30,160
door at work. That is a story
for a whole other show, but this

923
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,240
is a true story. And he has
been hooked on World of Warcraft

924
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,320
ever since. So he knows the
game very well. But this did come

925
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,800
up as we were talking about
Evokers and the state that Evokers

926
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:46,120
were in a few years ago, a
couple years ago, which is that if

927
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:51,820
you were going to run higher
level content and you were An Evoker

928
00:57:51,820 --> 00:57:56,420
in the support role. Like you
had a guaranteed spot to where they

929
00:57:56,420 --> 00:58:03,500
would dump a DPS just to get
the buffs that the Evoker provided.

930
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:09,940
And it got to be a little bit
ridiculous and then they nerfed it

931
00:58:10,420 --> 00:58:15,260
and now it almost appears like
I don't pay too much attention to

932
00:58:15,260 --> 00:58:19,590
Evoker and that probably a
terrible thing to admit as a podcast

933
00:58:19,590 --> 00:58:24,630
host for World of Warcraft
that has evokers, but it is true.

934
00:58:25,190 --> 00:58:30,750
And so nowadays I don't know
that that support role is as wanted

935
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:35,430
or needed in game. So it. It.
This is like a wall of crazy type

936
00:58:35,430 --> 00:58:41,070
thing. This is all this
discussion is. If they were to increase

937
00:58:41,070 --> 00:58:46,780
a group size to 6 and one of
those spots was intended for a support

938
00:58:47,260 --> 00:58:54,940
class, then not only would
classes like Evoker, the support

939
00:58:55,420 --> 00:59:01,380
spec of the Evoker be coveted,
but it would also open up more room

940
00:59:01,380 --> 00:59:06,620
for more specs for all of the
other classes to have some type of

941
00:59:06,620 --> 00:59:12,120
a support role, whether it's
a. An off healer or a class that

942
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:18,040
provides a series of buffs.
And we thought it was like a really

943
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,520
intriguing idea that if they
were to do that, not only can you

944
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,960
bring one more of your
friends, but you can strong arm or

945
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:29,160
tickle fight one of those
friends to level up a support class.

946
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,200
And like, no, dude, you're
leveling a sport class. That's what

947
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:32,760
you're doing.

948
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,890
I tell you right now, if they
added Tinkerer and that's its focus

949
00:59:36,890 --> 00:59:43,330
was, was support, I would be
through the moon, excited like, holy

950
00:59:43,570 --> 00:59:44,050
moon.

951
00:59:44,050 --> 00:59:46,210
Through the moon, baby,
instead of over it.

952
00:59:46,290 --> 00:59:48,050
Oh, that's what it is. Over
the moon.

953
00:59:50,530 --> 00:59:52,290
I'm internally chuckling right now.

954
00:59:52,930 --> 00:59:58,050
Yeah, no, man. Like I would
just be all about it. All about it.

955
00:59:58,450 --> 01:00:02,530
And I love support roles. I
love playing Torbjorn. You won't

956
01:00:02,530 --> 01:00:06,970
know this, but when Overwatch
first came out and Torbjorn was the

957
01:00:06,970 --> 01:00:10,130
state he was in, you put down
turrets and you just heal them and

958
01:00:10,130 --> 01:00:12,690
you know, like you could over
put them in overdrive and they would

959
01:00:12,690 --> 01:00:14,770
assist everybody, right? And
you got to be all strategic where

960
01:00:14,770 --> 01:00:19,290
you put them. It's support
style. I loved that style of gameplay

961
01:00:19,290 --> 01:00:24,250
and I Love it in MMOs. I love
it in Guild Wars 2. It's so enjoyable.

962
01:00:24,410 --> 01:00:28,410
And the thing is, it's. It's
just as unique. Seeing a good support

963
01:00:28,570 --> 01:00:32,910
player, I feel like, versus
seeing like maybe another class that

964
01:00:32,910 --> 01:00:35,950
people really don't play. But
you see someone who's playing it

965
01:00:35,950 --> 01:00:40,070
and they do really well at it.
It's like a really niche thing whenever

966
01:00:40,070 --> 01:00:43,150
you play support. But the
people who play it and play it well

967
01:00:43,150 --> 01:00:48,270
and other MMOs, man, oh man,
do they stand out. And yeah, I would

968
01:00:48,270 --> 01:00:50,550
love, love to see that.

969
01:00:50,870 --> 01:00:54,150
I think it would. It would
cause a lot of people to go away

970
01:00:54,150 --> 01:00:58,750
from their norm. Because as
of, as of right now, the norm for

971
01:00:59,310 --> 01:01:04,350
most players. If you're a DPS
and, and you. And you care about

972
01:01:04,910 --> 01:01:08,550
how tight your rotation is and
you care about the. The amount of

973
01:01:08,550 --> 01:01:11,590
damage that you're putting
out, you're constantly looking over

974
01:01:11,590 --> 01:01:15,030
at the damage meter. Whichever
one you're currently using, the one

975
01:01:15,030 --> 01:01:17,190
that's going to go away or the
one that's, you know, going to be

976
01:01:17,190 --> 01:01:20,070
native to the game, whichever
thing you're looking at, you're looking

977
01:01:20,070 --> 01:01:24,230
at damage. If you are a tank,
you're still looking at damage to

978
01:01:24,230 --> 01:01:27,130
see if you are out DPSing the DPS.

979
01:01:27,530 --> 01:01:27,850
It.

980
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:29,290
It is just a thing.

981
01:01:29,370 --> 01:01:30,090
Oh yeah.

982
01:01:30,330 --> 01:01:35,410
If you're a healer, you have
it switched over to who's healing

983
01:01:35,410 --> 01:01:38,690
the most in the dungeon.
Because you don't want to be beat

984
01:01:38,690 --> 01:01:46,850
out by a DK or a bear Druid.
You never want to be beat out. You

985
01:01:46,850 --> 01:01:50,410
always want to be the highest
one. You know, that's just embarrassing.

986
01:01:50,970 --> 01:01:53,170
So you're. If you're a healer,
you're constantly looking at your

987
01:01:53,170 --> 01:01:55,050
healing. If you're a dps,
you're constantly looking at your

988
01:01:55,050 --> 01:01:59,650
dps. If you were a support
player, it would be a split between

989
01:01:59,650 --> 01:02:04,090
the two because support is
going to be things like the Tinkerer

990
01:02:04,090 --> 01:02:07,210
as an example. Again, folks,
this is wall of Crazy type stuff.

991
01:02:07,770 --> 01:02:12,170
If a Tinker class came in,
they would have a mixture of both

992
01:02:12,490 --> 01:02:18,290
support and dps. So you're
buffing the party in some way with

993
01:02:18,290 --> 01:02:21,450
some type of a kit that you
lay down and then you transition

994
01:02:21,450 --> 01:02:26,970
into doing some dps. That's
how I would see a. Yep. A Tinkerer

995
01:02:26,970 --> 01:02:32,250
class would be like, you're
dropping turrets for healing. You're

996
01:02:32,250 --> 01:02:37,370
dropping turrets for, you
know, possibly haste. You're dropping

997
01:02:37,370 --> 01:02:42,250
maybe a turret for crit, and
you're dropping a turret to do some

998
01:02:42,250 --> 01:02:47,690
off healing. So you would have
to be comfortable not being a slave

999
01:02:47,690 --> 01:02:51,880
to those meters anymore
because all your stuff's just going

1000
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:59,680
to be spread out. But I love
the thought of this a hundred percent.

1001
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,080
You know what I would like to
see? And this is going to be nuts

1002
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:09,880
as a support class? A combat
medic. Oh, some type of a combat

1003
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:16,170
medic would be. Maybe it's a
hunter thing. Maybe it's part of

1004
01:03:16,170 --> 01:03:20,410
a tinker class. Maybe it's
part. Maybe it's an additional spec.

1005
01:03:20,570 --> 01:03:25,730
A. Maybe it's a support spec
for the priest where it's more of

1006
01:03:25,730 --> 01:03:31,930
a. I don't know, I guess you
could say a battle priest.

1007
01:03:32,010 --> 01:03:32,570
Mm.

1008
01:03:33,530 --> 01:03:38,930
Oh, man. But you would have
that good mixture of buffing off,

1009
01:03:38,930 --> 01:03:43,540
healing and doing DPS as a
support class.

1010
01:03:43,700 --> 01:03:47,220
Yeah. And, you know, you and I
both most recently saw a support

1011
01:03:47,220 --> 01:03:51,140
role in a big way with the
Bard and Ashes of Creation before

1012
01:03:51,140 --> 01:03:56,860
we came to this project. And
this. This would have been what,

1013
01:03:56,860 --> 01:04:00,820
like April? I think maybe less
than that when we were last there.

1014
01:04:01,620 --> 01:04:06,140
And yeah, like we saw with
that class when they were running

1015
01:04:06,140 --> 01:04:11,350
certain spells that just what
it did for a group, how they could

1016
01:04:11,430 --> 01:04:17,590
help people maintain mana, how
they could boost their crit, boost

1017
01:04:17,590 --> 01:04:21,230
their haste. You had to pick
what you were doing. Like, it's just

1018
01:04:21,230 --> 01:04:25,350
such a unique thing. You're
basically a utility class, essentially

1019
01:04:25,670 --> 01:04:29,110
is just one big ball of
utility and you're choosing how to

1020
01:04:29,110 --> 01:04:34,910
give that utility to your
group. And it is so, so, so satisfying

1021
01:04:35,470 --> 01:04:39,510
when that is in an mmo,
because you can see it, you know,

1022
01:04:39,510 --> 01:04:43,310
like right before your eyes,
the input and. Or the impact that

1023
01:04:43,310 --> 01:04:48,190
you're having on your group.
And so, yes, it would just be amazing

1024
01:04:48,350 --> 01:04:53,830
to have a 6 slot and a
dedicated role because then, then

1025
01:04:53,830 --> 01:04:58,030
the Evokers have their spot.
Right. Then they could really focus

1026
01:04:58,190 --> 01:05:01,360
on the whole thing with them
initially. And look, I'll be the

1027
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,000
first to tell you, I see
Evokers all the time whenever it

1028
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,440
comes to PvP. They're present,
they love their CC, they're present.

1029
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:12,120
So you see them often, but
outside of that, you really don't

1030
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:17,240
see them very much. And at
least I don't. And I do wish that

1031
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,280
they had their place in
Warcraft with what they were brought

1032
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:25,760
to. Brought here to do. And
that was to be a support class. So

1033
01:05:26,490 --> 01:05:29,170
I don't think that this
experiment on support should, should

1034
01:05:29,170 --> 01:05:33,650
end with Evoker, you know,
like, keep moving with it because

1035
01:05:33,650 --> 01:05:36,490
you have something there. Just
keep, keep, keep at it.

1036
01:05:36,490 --> 01:05:39,290
Yeah, you essentially end up
like, kind of like the water boy,

1037
01:05:39,610 --> 01:05:43,490
right? Pretty much just like,
like a cheerleader on the sidelines.

1038
01:05:43,490 --> 01:05:50,890
And do you need Mama's wrong again?

1039
01:05:51,050 --> 01:05:51,850
Oh, yeah, yeah.

1040
01:05:51,850 --> 01:05:54,250
But like, you know, you're
like, like, do you need a drink of

1041
01:05:54,250 --> 01:05:56,490
water? Let me wipe that sweat
off your brow. You're doing a great

1042
01:05:56,490 --> 01:05:56,770
job.

1043
01:05:56,770 --> 01:05:57,250
Yeah.

1044
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:02,210
Little pat on the druthers and
there they go back into battle. But

1045
01:06:02,210 --> 01:06:06,850
at the, you know, at the same
time, you're able to do dps yourself,

1046
01:06:07,730 --> 01:06:12,250
but you're multifaceted in a
lot of these things. And of. Of course

1047
01:06:12,250 --> 01:06:17,850
discussions like this are
theoretical and would create a crap

1048
01:06:17,850 --> 01:06:23,100
ton of work for Blizzard if
they decide to go this route. But

1049
01:06:23,100 --> 01:06:26,900
I wholeheartedly agree with
your statement where you said I don't

1050
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:31,020
want to see this support
experiment die with the Evoker. That

1051
01:06:31,020 --> 01:06:36,140
is, that's gold. I truly think
it is. Because if you could, all

1052
01:06:36,140 --> 01:06:39,020
you would need to do is just
like, just like we're saying, bump

1053
01:06:39,020 --> 01:06:43,300
the group sizes to 6, which
was. We were so happy when we heard

1054
01:06:43,300 --> 01:06:45,930
this in Discord. We're like,
this is a show topic. We, we have

1055
01:06:45,930 --> 01:06:51,090
to talk about that because it
is totally true. But if you boost

1056
01:06:51,090 --> 01:06:55,370
that size of six and you boost
up the ability of the group, what

1057
01:06:55,370 --> 01:06:56,450
else do you have to boost?

1058
01:06:56,610 --> 01:06:57,410
Difficulty.

1059
01:06:57,650 --> 01:07:02,370
Correct. So it's not just
making a bunch more, you know, super

1060
01:07:02,370 --> 01:07:07,930
cool classes. That's a feat in
itself. But it's going to be balance

1061
01:07:07,930 --> 01:07:10,970
with the dungeons, which
they're currently trying to do for

1062
01:07:10,970 --> 01:07:15,750
the current real size of the
group, that is five. And I don't

1063
01:07:15,750 --> 01:07:19,510
know what that entails, but
that seems like it's, it seems like

1064
01:07:19,510 --> 01:07:21,750
it's a lot of work to.

1065
01:07:21,990 --> 01:07:22,550
Yep.

1066
01:07:22,550 --> 01:07:24,910
To have to, you know, scale
the dungeons the way that they're

1067
01:07:24,910 --> 01:07:29,430
doing. They're. They're trying
to make things not as complicated,

1068
01:07:29,750 --> 01:07:32,670
but they would have to ramp it
right back up if they were going

1069
01:07:32,670 --> 01:07:34,550
to do something like this.

1070
01:07:34,790 --> 01:07:38,510
So let me ask you this
question. Should Blizzard commitment

1071
01:07:39,140 --> 01:07:43,140
to a real support pillar
similar to Tank Healer and dps?

1072
01:07:43,460 --> 01:07:48,900
Oh, if you're asking me if
they should, then yes, I think it

1073
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:54,779
would be a fantastic addition
to the game. But again, not being

1074
01:07:54,779 --> 01:07:57,460
a developer and not knowing
what resources it would take to do,

1075
01:07:57,460 --> 01:08:02,780
I think it would probably take
two or three years to commit to something

1076
01:08:02,780 --> 01:08:07,680
like that. So if we're
talking, you know, for the next world

1077
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:13,080
saga that we end up doing, you
know, after these last two, then

1078
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,200
that's like a dream for then
because I mean, just think you, you

1079
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:22,280
would have to go through and
make an additional class or additional

1080
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:27,760
spec for multiple classes, not
just like one or two more. It would

1081
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,770
probably have to be three or
four more that you're making additional

1082
01:08:31,770 --> 01:08:35,490
specs for that are in the
support role. Right. Do I think it

1083
01:08:35,490 --> 01:08:39,530
could be done with the
resources that Blizzard has? A hundred

1084
01:08:39,530 --> 01:08:41,890
percent? Yeah, they could
totally do it. But it would have

1085
01:08:41,890 --> 01:08:45,610
to be a commitment like they
made with housing, which took years,

1086
01:08:45,930 --> 01:08:46,450
you know.

1087
01:08:46,450 --> 01:08:46,850
Yeah.

1088
01:08:46,850 --> 01:08:51,490
Huge undertaking is what I'm
saying. It would be But. And maybe

1089
01:08:51,490 --> 01:08:55,639
I'm gonna change should they.
To. I. I really hope that they. They

1090
01:08:55,639 --> 01:08:57,999
would consider something like
that. It's.

1091
01:08:57,999 --> 01:08:58,279
Hope.

1092
01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:00,399
It's not that they. That they
should because.

1093
01:09:00,639 --> 01:09:01,999
Yeah, yeah, agreed.

1094
01:09:01,999 --> 01:09:07,559
I am not finding a lack of
having fun in this game because it's

1095
01:09:07,559 --> 01:09:08,239
not there.

1096
01:09:08,399 --> 01:09:12,159
Right, agreed. The game's
amazing. We love it. I mean, heck,

1097
01:09:12,159 --> 01:09:17,599
we're playing it every, you
know, weekday, every day. Like, you

1098
01:09:17,599 --> 01:09:18,999
know, it's just like a pipe dream.

1099
01:09:18,999 --> 01:09:22,549
We're breaking our own rules
about being casual. But, you know,

1100
01:09:23,189 --> 01:09:26,709
we also have a podcast. We
have a responsibility to know this.

1101
01:09:26,709 --> 01:09:30,549
Game well, AKA we need enabled
so we can play.

1102
01:09:31,189 --> 01:09:33,749
AKA I need to quit my job so I
can play the game more.

1103
01:09:33,749 --> 01:09:36,429
Oh, there you go. Yeah, but
no, I would love this, honestly.

1104
01:09:36,429 --> 01:09:38,989
And you're right. You're
absolutely right. You know, like.

1105
01:09:38,989 --> 01:09:42,469
And I like that you said, you
know, like, taking should out of

1106
01:09:42,469 --> 01:09:46,149
it and just being hopeful that
one day they do. I agree wholeheartedly.

1107
01:09:46,389 --> 01:09:49,449
That's the verbiage I like
even. Even, even more so. You're

1108
01:09:49,449 --> 01:09:52,489
right. It would definitely be
a massive undertaking. Like, that

1109
01:09:52,489 --> 01:09:54,849
would be. That'd be a big
deal. Number one, increasing the

1110
01:09:54,849 --> 01:09:57,049
group size. But on top of
that, then you're adding brand new

1111
01:09:57,049 --> 01:10:01,169
specs. Like, that's a big
thing. Big deal. But man, oh, man,

1112
01:10:01,169 --> 01:10:04,969
if there was ever an IP ever a
company that could take a challenge

1113
01:10:04,969 --> 01:10:09,009
and crush it, it's Blizzard.
They have proven it time and time

1114
01:10:09,009 --> 01:10:09,329
again.

1115
01:10:09,889 --> 01:10:13,089
So, yeah, they have. They
definitely have the. The resources

1116
01:10:13,089 --> 01:10:15,960
for it. And again, we're not
developers, so we don't know.

1117
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,040
No, we just talk all of the.

1118
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,920
Ins and outs of what goes in
this. And that's why from time to

1119
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,600
time, we are going to talk
some Wall of Crazy topics. But, you

1120
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,240
know, not knowing all the work
that goes into it. We love Wall of

1121
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:32,080
Crazy stuff. You have a wall
of Crazy topic that you want to throw

1122
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:35,200
at us and have us discuss it,
please write into the show.

1123
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,400
Absolutely. Yeah, for sure.
Well, folks, we're going to wrap

1124
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,420
up the show right after this
commercial break. We. We will be

1125
01:10:40,420 --> 01:10:40,980
right back.

1126
01:10:42,420 --> 01:10:49,020
This pilgrim's bounty. I,
Bravecliff Earthsnout, stand atop

1127
01:10:49,020 --> 01:10:56,740
Thunderbluff to reflect on
what I am thankful for. I am thankful

1128
01:10:56,740 --> 01:11:02,020
for another year where the
Grim totem only mostly tried to kill

1129
01:11:02,020 --> 01:11:07,750
us. Incinerate. I am thankful
for Hunter hunters who actually remember

1130
01:11:07,750 --> 01:11:13,310
to turn off growl. And for the
brave druids who refused to heal

1131
01:11:13,470 --> 01:11:18,230
that one demon hunter who
keeps pulling half the Barons. You

1132
01:11:18,230 --> 01:11:23,110
are not prepared. I am
thankful the elevator claimed Fewer

1133
01:11:23,110 --> 01:11:29,230
victims this year. Only 17. Progress.

1134
01:11:30,430 --> 01:11:31,010
But more.

1135
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:37,160
Most of all, I am thankful
that this Pilgrim's Bounty you people

1136
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:45,800
are eating turkey. That's
right, turkey. Not beef. Not brisket,

1137
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:52,600
not ribs, not any part of my
extended family. Last year's Tauren

1138
01:11:52,760 --> 01:12:00,450
tenderloin surprise. Yeah, we
remember. Go now. Me be needing meat.

1139
01:12:03,090 --> 01:12:07,410
So this year, when you sit
down to your feast, give thanks,

1140
01:12:07,890 --> 01:12:13,250
give respect, and for the love
of the earth mother, stop trying

1141
01:12:13,410 --> 01:12:19,490
to marinate us. Happy
Pilgrim's Bounty from Azeroth Morning

1142
01:12:19,650 --> 01:12:24,080
