State of Azeroth (eve)

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
