Twilight Ascension Launch!

1
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:56,980
And good Tuesday morning.
Welcome everybody. This is Azeroth

2
00:00:56,980 --> 00:01:02,260
Morning Radio. Greetings,
traveler folks. This show is for

3
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:06,400
you. The nine to fiver, the
casual warrior, those of us playing

4
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,400
on the weekends, parents who
grew up playing World of Warcraft,

5
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,720
and you simply grew up. Well,
welcome home, friends. We are your

6
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,720
hosts. My name is Jibs and I'm
joined by Cash.

7
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Why do we always have to grow up?

8
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
I don't know. I think it's
overrated. I'm noticing more and

9
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,520
more gray hairs in my beard
that's so much so that it's got a

10
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,360
light sheen to it. And I'm
like, okay, well, come Blizzcon when

11
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,250
we show up, Jibs may be a
little salt and pepper.

12
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:36,050
Oh, buddy. I like. I think I
passed up the salt and pepper part.

13
00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:39,010
And normally I have a pretty
clean shaven face because of work,

14
00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:42,090
but man, when I am on my days
off and I let that thing grow out.

15
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:50,930
Yeah, it's really gray, so.
And it's not the age, baby. It's

16
00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:51,730
the miles.

17
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:55,730
That's right. Wrong. It's the
ugly. It's experience. Right.

18
00:01:56,410 --> 00:01:56,650
Some.

19
00:01:56,970 --> 00:02:01,370
Some people say it's a crown
of glory. So how's wow been for you

20
00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:01,850
this week?

21
00:02:01,930 --> 00:02:09,690
Wow has been. Not as much as I
want it to be this week. I had a

22
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:14,810
real life square kick in the
nuts for most of the week this week,

23
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:18,330
but I still did get some play
time in. I just had. I just had a

24
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,290
lot. A lot of stuff going on.
As you know, I'm back in school.

25
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:22,020
Mm.

26
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:27,420
And that is taking a bit of
time. So that obviously takes away

27
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:31,820
from my wow play time. Took
care of dad this week a little bit.

28
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:35,220
He had. He had eye surgery
this week, so I spent a couple days

29
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:39,060
with him just making sure he
was good to go. And in the evenings

30
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:44,380
after I got everything done, I
jumped into Warcraft and was able

31
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:49,110
to, for the most part,
especially after pre patch it. That

32
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:52,710
was a late launch too, by the
way, but they still were pretty like,

33
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:56,110
they give you updates on how
they're pushing it forward and pushing

34
00:02:56,110 --> 00:03:00,990
it forward, but when they say
it's coming out, it usually like,

35
00:03:01,070 --> 00:03:04,830
for the most part, they're
pretty good about the timeline, about

36
00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:10,470
getting it online. So I did a
lot of playing with the new UI features

37
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:13,630
and I Have to say I'm fairly impressed.

38
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:17,060
Yeah buddy. Yeah buddy. We're
gonna be talking about that in this

39
00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:22,660
episode, that's for sure. We
have, we have both dove into pre

40
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:25,340
patch and I gotta tell you
there's a lot of fun things to talk

41
00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:28,140
about with it. This. It's been
a good, it's been a fun week for

42
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:33,460
Warcraft getting everything
ready. My add on is first off I want

43
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:37,020
to thank everybody who's
downloaded Set Lock like it and,

44
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:41,270
and also Curseforge for having
it on their front page for Warcraft

45
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:45,430
because you guys shocked me.
The numbers that people have downloaded

46
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:49,430
it so far and are using it and
it's actively working which is great.

47
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:53,590
So like it was a busy like pre
patch morning because I realized

48
00:03:53,590 --> 00:03:56,910
my add on was no longer work
at all in Warcraft until I went back

49
00:03:56,910 --> 00:04:00,470
and made necessary updates. So
the updates were made and now it's

50
00:04:00,470 --> 00:04:04,230
working and that was
definitely part of my day. So yeah.

51
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:08,600
Had a great weekend in gaming.
Really just getting ready for pre

52
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960
patch. It was kind of odd. It
was in one of those weird spots where

53
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520
it's just like I, I did feel
for a little bit like I don't know

54
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,520
what to do with myself. Like
I'm. I feel like I'm in a holding

55
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400
pattern a little bit. But also
I'm just like I. There's. You ever

56
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,320
feel like there's so many
things you want to do in Warcraft

57
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,280
that you don't know what to do
in Warcraft?

58
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,160
Yes. I mean I feel that every
single time I log in there's always.

59
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,890
That's why I have to focus. I
have to have a focus. But I don't

60
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:33,970
know, maybe you were
experiencing it a little bit late,

61
00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:37,290
but over the last couple of
weeks I've definitely been experiencing

62
00:04:37,290 --> 00:04:41,570
like, oh my God, when is this
thing coming out? Yeah, for sure.

63
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:44,570
Where I feel like I'm, I'm
like spinning my wheels and that's

64
00:04:44,570 --> 00:04:49,250
probably why I paid so much
attention to the auction house and

65
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:52,210
selling items and you know,
really making sure that my inventory

66
00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:56,330
was ready and I purged old
stuff and man, I was back in Legion

67
00:04:56,330 --> 00:05:00,140
doing some things and. But you
know what, I think that the funny

68
00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:05,460
thing is a lot of people, a
lot of people in season three, they

69
00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:06,060
just bail.

70
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:06,700
Yeah.

71
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:09,940
And they just stop playing
until the new content comes out and

72
00:05:09,940 --> 00:05:13,580
then. And they jump back in.
I'm just not, I'm not that kind of

73
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:17,300
a person. I'm definitely a one
game guy. I'm fine with having an

74
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:20,300
off game to play every once in
a while, but right now I really don't

75
00:05:20,940 --> 00:05:24,500
have an off game. I just, you
know, my, my time's dwindling a little

76
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:29,240
bit. So right now the, my time
getting into Azeroth is, is precious

77
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,880
to me and I'm just making sure
that I carve out some time every

78
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,240
single day to do it so that I
don't end up in one floor of the

79
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,080
cuckoo's Nest.

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,680
Right. Right. Yeah, it's. And
I tell you what though, I tell you

81
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,160
what, I know we're talking
about a little bit, but boy, oh boy,

82
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,120
post free patch, did we. We're
not in Kansas anymore, Toto. This

83
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,440
is not the same Warcraft we
woke up to on Monday morning as opposed

84
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,600
to now. Here we are later in
the week. And who.

85
00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:58,460
Yeah, we found that out last
night and yes, we're definitely going

86
00:05:58,460 --> 00:05:59,100
to talk about it.

87
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,300
Absolutely. Absolutely. Well,
folks, thank you again so much for

88
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:06,500
pushing play, hanging out with
us here on the episode, your feedback

89
00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:09,900
every week, your comments,
your likes. And honestly, this sounds

90
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:13,020
cheesy because the like and
subscribe, but no, like the likes

91
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:15,180
and subscribes and the
comments that you guys are doing

92
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:18,300
on YouTube, it, it doesn't go
unnoticed. And we just thank you

93
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,590
all so much, everyone who's
tuning in on podcast apps. We see

94
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:25,030
you and thank you so much for
your just continued dedication to

95
00:06:25,030 --> 00:06:27,910
listen because this week on
the show folks, we have, we're gonna

96
00:06:27,910 --> 00:06:30,630
be talking endgame tributes.
We're gonna talk about the Twilight

97
00:06:30,630 --> 00:06:34,390
Ascension event. Yeah, baby.
Continue our lore lesson series and

98
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:38,790
our reactions to the first
week of pre patch and all that starts

99
00:06:39,030 --> 00:06:44,430
right after the lore lesson.
We'll be right back, folks. Before

100
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:49,020
the cosmos learned to speak
his name in warning, Sargeras was

101
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:54,900
its bulwark. Like all titans,
he was born of a world soul, awakened

102
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:59,540
within a drifting world in the
great dark beyond. Among the pantheon

103
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:03,900
of order, Sargeras rose. As
their mightiest warrior, he was given

104
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:09,900
a clear stand watch over what
has been made. And when demons began

105
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:13,750
to threaten the ordered
worlds, it was Sargeras who was sent

106
00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:18,190
to meet them. He crossed the
void between stars, drawn to places

107
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:21,710
where reality had been torn
open. Where the twisting nether spilled

108
00:07:21,710 --> 00:07:25,990
into the physical universe.
There demons came in vast numbers,

109
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:31,590
overwhelming entire worlds.
For ages, Sargeras walked from one

110
00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:35,510
embattled planet to the next,
standing between mortal life and

111
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:40,640
ruin. He saw cities fall to
ash. He saw people twisted into hateful,

112
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,440
corrupted forms. Before this
war, Sargeras had not believed such

113
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,080
devastation possible. Yet the
demons were undisciplined. They fought

114
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,360
without Unity. Again and
again, Sargeras broke them. Victory

115
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,440
followed victory. Then the
pattern shifted. Some demons wielded

116
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:07,720
a different power. Cold,
distant and wrong. Void. Tracing

117
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,680
its source. Sargeras became
aware of greater forces moving unseen

118
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,400
across the cosmos. Vast
intelligences working beyond the

119
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,600
veil of reality. The Void
Lords. Their existence weighed upon

120
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,920
him. But Sargeras did not
abandon his post. He continued the

121
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,280
war. While he fought, the
Pantheon labored on. They searched

122
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,010
the great dark for slumbering
world souls, shaping new worlds from

123
00:08:33,010 --> 00:08:37,290
chaos. At times, Sargeras
looked upon these young planets.

124
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:42,930
Life took root there, whole
and unbroken. And seeing it endure

125
00:08:42,930 --> 00:08:48,130
hardened his resolve to defend
it. But the enemy did not fade. Sargeras

126
00:08:48,130 --> 00:08:52,770
began to recognize his foes.
Demons he destroyed returned when

127
00:08:52,770 --> 00:08:55,410
slain in the physical
universe. Their spirits fled back

128
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:59,890
into the twisting Nether, only
to be reborn. Though he did not yet

129
00:08:59,890 --> 00:09:03,730
know how, Demons could be
slain forever. One truth became clear.

130
00:09:04,130 --> 00:09:08,370
The war could not be won
through destruction alone. The demons

131
00:09:08,450 --> 00:09:12,370
had to be bound. The Pantheon
answered by sending another to his

132
00:09:12,370 --> 00:09:16,690
side. Aggramar. Though young
in battle, Aggramar learned swiftly.

133
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:21,090
He earned Sargeras trust. And
for many millennia, they fought together,

134
00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:25,650
a shield wall against the
endless tide. With Aggramar holding

135
00:09:25,650 --> 00:09:29,330
the field, Sargeras turned his
gaze inward to the Nether itself.

136
00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:33,410
He studied its chaos and
learned to shape its volatile energies.

137
00:09:34,130 --> 00:09:39,370
From that knowledge, he forged
a prison. Mardum. A sealed realm

138
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:42,850
within the twisting Nether.
Demons cast into it did not return.

139
00:09:43,570 --> 00:09:47,970
As the prison filled, its fel
energies grew so fierce that it burned

140
00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:53,760
across the great star like a
distant star. And slowly, the war

141
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,720
quieted. Demonic incursions
became rare. Worlds shaped by the

142
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Pantheon prospered. Life
endured. As the Pantheon continued

143
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,520
their search for world souls,
Sargeras and Aggramar pressed on

144
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,360
until they agreed more worlds
could be guarded apart than together.

145
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,080
And so they parted ways. It
was then that Sargeras learned what

146
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,270
the Void truly sought. In a
remote reach of the Great Dark, he

147
00:10:20,270 --> 00:10:24,230
found a dead world steeped in
void energy. Across its surface lay

148
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:27,950
immense beings embedded deep
within the planet. The Old Gods.

149
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:32,190
Beneath them, a world soul
dreamed. But his dreams were twisted.

150
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:37,430
Smothered by shadow. Nathrezim
dwelled there as well. Sargeras captured

151
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:41,190
them and learned the truth.
The Void Lords had sent the Old Gods

152
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:45,410
to corrupt worlds that housed
Titan world souls. If such corruption

153
00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:49,810
succeeded, the world soul
would awaken as a dark Titan, an

154
00:10:49,810 --> 00:10:54,690
entity no power in creation
could oppose. Sargeras acted. The

155
00:10:54,690 --> 00:10:58,370
world was destroyed. The old
Gods were annihilated. The nascent

156
00:10:58,370 --> 00:11:02,490
Titan died with them. Sargeras
returned to the Pantheon and summoned

157
00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:07,290
Aggramar. He spoke of what he
had seen and what he had done. The

158
00:11:07,290 --> 00:11:10,170
Pantheon condemned his action,
believing the world soul might have

159
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:14,020
been saved. Arguments
followed. Sargeras feared the corruption

160
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:17,060
he had witnessed was not
singular, that other world souls

161
00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:20,540
might already be lost. He came
to believe that creation itself was

162
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:23,900
flawed, and that only by
purging all life could the Void Lords

163
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:28,300
be denied their victory. The
Pantheon rejected this belief. Eonar

164
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:32,180
reminded him of their oath to
preserve life. Even Aggramar stood

165
00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:37,340
against him. So Sargeras
turned away. And with that turning,

166
00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:42,820
the shield of creation was
lowered. Not by force, but by choice.

167
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:49,780
This is Draylon. And when I'm
not pulling all the whelps, getting

168
00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:54,140
lost in a major city, or just
relearning the game after a 15 plus

169
00:11:54,140 --> 00:12:04,580
year break, I'm listening to
Azeroth Morning Radio. All right,

170
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:08,210
Draylon. Thank you so much,
folks. Don't forget again, you can

171
00:12:08,210 --> 00:12:14,370
always send us your AMR
listener spotlights by emailing us@azerothmorningradiogmail.com.

172
00:12:14,610 --> 00:12:19,410
Is that a guy with a voice for
radio or what?

173
00:12:19,730 --> 00:12:22,810
I tell you, he could. He could
pass as the next master chief when

174
00:12:22,810 --> 00:12:26,410
the. When the gentleman
retires. Holy cow, that boy's got

175
00:12:26,410 --> 00:12:29,970
some. Yeah, he can. Some
people just got it, man. Like, they

176
00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:33,280
only have to work. They just
talk. That man's got it.

177
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:37,640
I think we both heard that. We
were both like, whoa, that's a damn

178
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,520
good radio voice.

179
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Oh, man, oh, man, I love to
see that guy in some voiceovers for

180
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,640
games. Goodness gracious.
Anyway, folks, you can always email

181
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,480
us your voiceover recordings.
Tell us what you're doing or your

182
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,040
name. And when you're not in
Azeroth doing xyz, you're listening

183
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,200
to Azeroth Morning Radio
playing right here live on the show.

184
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,490
But it's time for the Heroes call.

185
00:13:00,490 --> 00:13:05,370
Heroes call friends and
adventurers. I was doing some research

186
00:13:05,370 --> 00:13:11,290
for Heroes Call this week and
I found something that I had an idea

187
00:13:11,370 --> 00:13:14,610
was in the game. I just didn't
know where it was, so I actually

188
00:13:14,610 --> 00:13:19,810
went out to go find this. But
there's a really cool tribute and

189
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:23,420
it's been in the game for a
long, long time. At this point. It's

190
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:26,340
just. It's a location that I
have not gone to until this past

191
00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:30,340
week. But there is a tribute
to Robin Williams in the game. And

192
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:35,380
I know there's a lot of
tributes to stars and celebrities

193
00:13:35,380 --> 00:13:40,100
and people in pop culture that
have passed. And I love how world

194
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:44,820
of Warcraft does this. But I
actually went to go see the Robin

195
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:48,820
Williams tribute this week and
if you haven't ever been there, it's

196
00:13:48,820 --> 00:13:53,660
quite easy to get to. It's in
the grand on the small island. If

197
00:13:53,660 --> 00:13:57,860
you open up your Mac. Oh, it's
like a little piece of paper that

198
00:13:57,860 --> 00:14:01,060
has drawings on it and it's
geography and shows you where to

199
00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:01,300
go.

200
00:14:01,380 --> 00:14:03,540
Yeah, use your big boy words.

201
00:14:05,380 --> 00:14:10,300
It's a map, not a Mac. If you
go to your map and open up, you can

202
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:14,740
find the location called
Gramashar. And it's on a small island

203
00:14:14,740 --> 00:14:17,100
just to the south of that.
There's two islands down there. This

204
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,980
is the smaller island and
that's where the Robin Williams tribute

205
00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:24,620
is. And when you go down
there, you'll find for those of you

206
00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:30,820
out there that are Gen X or
maybe you just like the older style

207
00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:35,180
sitcom shows, the ones that
Gen X grew up with, there's a cracked

208
00:14:35,180 --> 00:14:38,820
egg there. And that's a
reference to the old sitcom Mork

209
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:43,940
and Mindy, which gave Robin
Williams a lot of fame way back in

210
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:46,460
the day. And man, I just
remember sitting down watching that

211
00:14:46,460 --> 00:14:49,600
show with my parents. It was,
it was super cool. There's some various

212
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,840
toys on the ground which are
all references to his feature films

213
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,560
and one of which is a genie's
lamp which is reference to one of

214
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:06,320
his biggest roles in Aladdin
as the genie. So again, this particular

215
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,680
tribute has been there for a
long time, but it's definitely worth

216
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,760
going down to take a look at
it. And again, it's a testament to

217
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,510
how Blizzard pays tribute to
some of the people who've touched

218
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:21,670
our lives in the entertainment
space. And it really breaks that

219
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:27,630
third wall and brings this
kind of stuff into the game. So it

220
00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:32,150
just, it crosses that barrier.
And I've always loved it when games

221
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:37,150
do stuff like that. So, Robin
Williams tribute in Nagrand. Go take

222
00:15:37,150 --> 00:15:37,510
a look.

223
00:15:37,510 --> 00:15:40,310
I've always. That was the
first celebrity that passed away

224
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:44,920
that I truly was so sad. Like
he was, he was, he meant a lot to

225
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,120
me because I'll never forget
being a young kid watching Mrs. Doubtfire.

226
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,400
I felt different growing up
anyway. Like, I just felt like I

227
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,200
never really had a place. Like
I didn't fit in anywhere. And when

228
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,240
I saw him and the very first
scene to me ingrained in my head,

229
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,040
he's doing voiceover work and
it, to me, it was like, it hit me

230
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,000
as a child, like it's okay to
be different. And I love doing voices

231
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,640
anyway. So of course, as soon
as I finish watching that, I'M like

232
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,480
practicing because that's what
I want to do when I get older then

233
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,730
at that point. Right. But I'm
just like that. He was the man that

234
00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:20,090
showed me it's okay to be
different, it's okay to be funny,

235
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:24,330
it's okay to be entertaining.
And oh, man, I love that they do

236
00:16:24,330 --> 00:16:27,610
stuff like this because it
means a lot. You know, it's cool

237
00:16:27,610 --> 00:16:30,489
to see nods with NPC names,
but it's definitely cool to see this

238
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:31,170
tribute to him.

239
00:16:31,170 --> 00:16:35,410
Yeah, it is. And we would be
remiss if we didn't mention the importance

240
00:16:35,410 --> 00:16:38,210
of mental health because
obviously that was a. Played a big

241
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:44,970
factor in his passing. And it
is something that needs to be nurtured

242
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:49,290
and recognized. And, you know,
people need to understand it's a.

243
00:16:49,290 --> 00:16:53,450
It's a real thing. There are
some real, real issues out there

244
00:16:53,850 --> 00:16:56,850
that people have and they're.
They're dealing with on a daily basis.

245
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:59,450
And it, it brings me right
back to something that we've said

246
00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:04,690
on the show a lot and is that
on the other end of the screen is

247
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:08,810
a real person and you never
know what people are dealing with.

248
00:17:08,890 --> 00:17:12,450
So if you find yourself, you
know, having those issues, you know,

249
00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:16,530
seek help, seek ways to
nurture and take care of yourself.

250
00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:19,690
And, you know, mental. Your
mental health is huge. It's very

251
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:23,650
important. And if that
includes logging into Warcraft for

252
00:17:23,650 --> 00:17:28,690
10 minutes just to settle
yourself, find time to do it, make

253
00:17:28,690 --> 00:17:30,170
that time super important.

254
00:17:30,330 --> 00:17:30,970
Agreed.

255
00:17:30,970 --> 00:17:35,610
Okay, this next one is super
random, but I was browsing the Facebooks

256
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:39,910
and normally the stuff that
ends up on my feed is super nerdy

257
00:17:39,910 --> 00:17:43,990
World of Warcraft stuff and I
am secure with myself, so I'm okay

258
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:49,510
with it. But anyway, I found a
post and this one is on the World

259
00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:53,470
of Warcraft Facebook group,
one of the World of Warcraft Facebook

260
00:17:53,470 --> 00:17:59,790
groups. Anyway, this one's
from Steven Sissom and he says as

261
00:17:59,790 --> 00:18:03,930
the 12th expansion pre patch
looms in the distance, I just want

262
00:18:03,930 --> 00:18:10,730
to know, do you still have
your first ever main. And he showcased

263
00:18:10,730 --> 00:18:14,130
his. This is mine called
Healthstones, which I thought was

264
00:18:14,290 --> 00:18:17,570
a really good name. And I do
not know how you got that name. Well

265
00:18:17,570 --> 00:18:22,770
done. That character was born
toward the end of cataclysm in 2012.

266
00:18:24,130 --> 00:18:27,650
So I throw this question to
you, Gibbles.

267
00:18:28,210 --> 00:18:28,770
Nope.

268
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:36,500
At the rate that you level and
homicide your characters into grisly

269
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:39,940
deaths, do you still have your
first ever toon?

270
00:18:39,940 --> 00:18:44,620
It bums me out every time I
think about it because, no, I don't.

271
00:18:44,859 --> 00:18:49,420
And I consider my first ever
toon, my dwarf hunter, my first real

272
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:52,780
tune. Because my really first
foray into WoW was my dwarf hunter.

273
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:56,850
If we were in Mog Nation at
the time you and I were in the MMO

274
00:18:56,850 --> 00:19:00,450
gaming community way back in
2014, I think it was when Warlords

275
00:19:00,450 --> 00:19:04,450
of Draenor came out. And that,
to me, was my first real foray. I

276
00:19:04,450 --> 00:19:08,810
wish I had him. I'm pretty
sure I race changed him at some point.

277
00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:12,290
Like, I don't even remember.
Like, I wish I had him, but no, I

278
00:19:12,290 --> 00:19:17,210
don't. And it breaks my heart.
First world problems. Breaks my heart.

279
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:21,330
But it is without a doubt,
like, the one thing I do regret the

280
00:19:21,330 --> 00:19:25,640
most out of everything I've
ever done is that. And it's funny,

281
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,560
all these years later, I find
myself right back to Hunter 12 years

282
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,400
later. But it's kind of come
full circle in a really odd way.

283
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,880
But, yeah. No, I do not. I
wish I did, but I don't.

284
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,440
Do you remember that
character's name?

285
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,640
No, I don't. I don't. I wish I
did. He looked cool, though. I'll

286
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,240
never forget the armor because
they. The dwarf are. The dwarf looked

287
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,550
amazing with the male armor
that has one massive shoulder and

288
00:19:52,550 --> 00:19:55,750
one small shoulder plate. And
I don't remember if that was from,

289
00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:59,470
like, battlegrounds back then
or how I got that appearance, but

290
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:02,670
I'll never forget it to this
day. Yeah. Still, I think he had

291
00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:05,750
a dark brown beard, if I
remember correctly.

292
00:20:06,150 --> 00:20:11,750
Total side note, I actually
looked up the history of wearing

293
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:15,350
one Pauldron. You know, like
some armor sets you have. Like, one

294
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:16,070
Pauldron.

295
00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:16,790
Yeah.

296
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:19,110
That was never a thing.

297
00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:21,830
Just fantasy, huh? Just for
fantasy, historically.

298
00:20:21,910 --> 00:20:24,990
Yeah, that was never a thing.
And. And I. I had always thought

299
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:29,630
about that. Like, you know, I
could see where that could be a thing.

300
00:20:29,630 --> 00:20:32,750
Like if somebody was, you
know, maybe an archer and wanted

301
00:20:32,750 --> 00:20:36,350
to protect that side or, you
know, like if they led in battle

302
00:20:36,350 --> 00:20:37,350
with one side.

303
00:20:37,670 --> 00:20:38,070
Right.

304
00:20:38,790 --> 00:20:44,650
I could see that being a
thing, but I could not find any proof,

305
00:20:44,650 --> 00:20:49,450
any historical proof that just
wearing one Pauldron was ever a thing.

306
00:20:50,010 --> 00:20:52,610
So, yeah, I think it's just a.
Just a fantasy thing.

307
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:53,530
That's interesting.

308
00:20:54,330 --> 00:21:03,170
Yeah. I do remember I still
have my first character. And I don't

309
00:21:03,170 --> 00:21:06,170
know, maybe after I'm done
talking about it, you won't.

310
00:21:06,330 --> 00:21:06,970
Okay.

311
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:15,060
So my first ever character was
a warrior. And I. I think I quickly

312
00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:20,740
discovered Druid after that.
And the Druid that I'm on today is

313
00:21:21,060 --> 00:21:25,700
my original druid, which is
nuts. He's been through so much.

314
00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:32,340
But my first ever character
was a human warrior. And I don't

315
00:21:32,340 --> 00:21:37,150
want to reveal his name, but
then again I do. So I'm gonna. His

316
00:21:37,150 --> 00:21:42,190
name is just the tip. And he
continues to bring me a lot of joy.

317
00:21:43,390 --> 00:21:43,870
Wow.

318
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:45,550
Wow.

319
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:50,670
He continues to bring me a lot
of joy when I see him because yeah,

320
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:53,470
it's just, you know, it's
nostalgic and historic and.

321
00:21:53,470 --> 00:21:55,704
What year did you make that
character was it? 04?

322
00:21:55,836 --> 00:21:56,430
2004.

323
00:21:56,590 --> 00:21:58,750
Wow. Look at how fast. Look
how much you've grown.

324
00:21:59,310 --> 00:22:04,360
Yeah, dude, like probably a
month after Warcraft's launch is

325
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:07,480
when I got into it. I was
playing. I've talked about on the

326
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,400
show, but I was playing
EverQuest 2 at the time, right. And

327
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,600
there was so much hype around
World of Warcraft that I was like,

328
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,600
I'm gonna try it. So I bought
it and tried it and I canceled my

329
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:22,720
EverQuest 2 subscription. Yep,
done. I'm playing this. But he. But

330
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:29,490
he's still sitting there on my
roster in the original vanilla gear.

331
00:22:29,730 --> 00:22:30,290
That's awesome.

332
00:22:30,290 --> 00:22:33,370
Just full blown classic gear
and he's just sitting there. I think

333
00:22:33,370 --> 00:22:38,690
he's. I don't know, probably
level 40, 50, something like that.

334
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:40,210
Just never really touched him.

335
00:22:40,210 --> 00:22:40,690
Huh.

336
00:22:40,930 --> 00:22:44,170
After that. So interesting. I
thought that would be a cool thing

337
00:22:44,170 --> 00:22:44,850
to cover.

338
00:22:44,850 --> 00:22:49,890
Yeah, no kidding. Well, I got
something cool to cover. I saw someone

339
00:22:50,050 --> 00:22:54,300
in Stormwind the other day and
I am pretty sure I had seen their

340
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:58,340
videos before. And so people,
role players in Stormwind, they have.

341
00:22:58,340 --> 00:23:01,940
They use TRP3 and you can put
information in there and they. And

342
00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:05,580
on their. And I always read
it, it's like a giant tool tip, right?

343
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:08,620
And on the giant tool tip, but
out of their. And they're out of

344
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:11,620
character information. It said
they had a YouTube channel. I'm like,

345
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:14,060
well, I'll go check it out. Or
I think it said housing decor YouTube

346
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:16,740
channel is what it was. So I
went to go check it out and I'm sure

347
00:23:16,740 --> 00:23:21,680
enough this video was one of
the main drivers for. For one of

348
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,560
my remodels in my homes. And
the one you saw last with the giant

349
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,760
steps, it's like the old, like
it. The. The manor steps, you know,

350
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,520
like that came from. From this
person. The idea did. And it. They're.

351
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,360
They have a really small
YouTube channel but they make amazing

352
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:41,280
videos. I wanted to share it
because I'm like, oh my gosh, if

353
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,880
we can help you grow, I would
love to. They are called V Decor

354
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:52,330
V E D E C O R on YouTube. They
do awesome speed builds for housing

355
00:23:52,330 --> 00:23:55,610
decor and they're just
awesome. They're so kind in game.

356
00:23:55,610 --> 00:23:57,970
Of course I'M not gonna say
their character name in game, but

357
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:01,290
just the nicest person. Great
YouTube channel. Wanted to give this

358
00:24:01,290 --> 00:24:05,170
a quick spotlight. Go check
them out. V decor. That's YouTube.com

359
00:24:05,890 --> 00:24:08,850
decor. She's. I'm assuming
it's a she. She's awesome.

360
00:24:09,890 --> 00:24:15,160
Yeah. They have 256
subscribers and 10 videos and they

361
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,680
look like they are pumping
them out. So go over there and sub.

362
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,320
Let's. Let's blow this up.
Let's get this. Let's get this person

363
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,000
some views. Yeah, really cool.

364
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,120
Yeah, Yeah. I loved their. I
love what they're doing. It looks

365
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:33,000
fantastic. But anyway, V, if
you're listening, well done. You're

366
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,880
doing excellent.

367
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Breaking news brought to all
of you.

368
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,940
By the Goblin News Network
Blizzard releases Midnight pre expansion

369
00:24:45,940 --> 00:24:50,260
update trailer in game event
is called Twilight Ascension. This

370
00:24:50,260 --> 00:24:55,740
coming to us from wowhead.com
folks, midnight is almost here. Prepare

371
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:59,220
for the battle ahead with new
system updates and quest lines to

372
00:24:59,220 --> 00:25:04,420
uncover the sinister plot of
the Twilight's blade cultists. The

373
00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:07,260
World of Warcraft Midnight Pre
expansion update launches January

374
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,490
20th, which we are enjoying.
And then the Twilight Ascension quest

375
00:25:10,490 --> 00:25:15,130
line begins. Hey, guess what?
Today as of release date. So that

376
00:25:15,130 --> 00:25:20,810
is coming out today. Do look,
pre batch has been going like we

377
00:25:20,810 --> 00:25:23,730
could take this seven
different ways. Let's start with

378
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:26,410
our first hand experience.
Like the trailer was great that they

379
00:25:26,410 --> 00:25:31,610
put out. It was awesome. It's
exciting. You know, this is an exciting

380
00:25:31,610 --> 00:25:35,090
time. It's a, it's a time that
you only ever feel like once every

381
00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:40,150
two years, you know. And so
it's exciting as a player and a fan

382
00:25:40,150 --> 00:25:43,230
to kind of have this like hype
up, you know, this in between hype

383
00:25:43,230 --> 00:25:47,150
up leading up to midnight. But
dude, the pre patch is out. I don't

384
00:25:47,150 --> 00:25:49,470
even know where we start, but
I know we need to start somewhere.

385
00:25:49,550 --> 00:25:53,350
Well, first of all, I'm very
happy that they gave us a week to

386
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:57,870
settle into the changes. I
thought after, after thinking about

387
00:25:57,870 --> 00:26:01,430
it and there's. There's
questions out there about like why

388
00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:03,830
wouldn't they just give us
Twilight Ascension when they drop

389
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:08,590
this? Well, as you and I
experienced last night, there are

390
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:12,350
significant changes to the
game and obviously we knew that they

391
00:26:12,350 --> 00:26:14,830
were coming. We've been
talking about those changes coming,

392
00:26:14,830 --> 00:26:17,950
but Jibs and I have never. We
did not jump into the beta. Some

393
00:26:17,950 --> 00:26:20,230
of our friends jumped into the
beta. They understood these changes.

394
00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:25,350
They felt the changes we had
not. And I would say that we are

395
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:29,630
in the majority, the majority
of the people out there did not jump

396
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:33,990
into the beta to see and feel
these Changes. So I'm really happy

397
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:39,150
that they gave us a week to
just kind of nestle in with it and

398
00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:43,190
get comfortable with it and
play with the UI and get your setup

399
00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:47,070
the way you want and realize
that a lot of the add ons that we

400
00:26:47,070 --> 00:26:54,590
relied on before are disabled,
no longer compatible. They're gone.

401
00:26:54,590 --> 00:26:57,710
So they wanted you to go
through, clean up your, your add

402
00:26:57,710 --> 00:27:01,600
ons, get the stuff out of
there that's no longer compatible,

403
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,160
and start looking at the
native things that they've put into

404
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,280
the game and sense those
changes. And we did. And that's what

405
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:15,360
I have spent most of my time
doing, except for the last couple

406
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,760
of play sessions, which have
been endeavors. But we'll talk about

407
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,000
those later. Yeah, but I,
again, I'm just, I'm really happy

408
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,880
we've had this week to do it.
I'm happy with it. I'm. I'm very

409
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:35,200
intrigued at how my character
is going to play in some tougher

410
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,520
content. Because Jibs, we did
some time walking dungeons yesterday.

411
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,160
Oh.

412
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:46,240
And we noticed some changes
that were coupled with some changes

413
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,880
that I found today. Going to
old content, trying to kill some

414
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,310
rares. And that came with the
endeavors. And we'll. We'll talk

415
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:56,830
about that part later, but
let's talk maybe a little bit about

416
00:27:56,830 --> 00:28:01,270
our experience with just the
time walking dungeons and the changes

417
00:28:01,270 --> 00:28:02,510
that have been made to the characters.

418
00:28:02,910 --> 00:28:07,430
So I hopped in and on my
hunter and I'm like, okay. You know,

419
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:10,550
we. I was going through my
talents. First thing I did, went

420
00:28:10,550 --> 00:28:13,230
through my talents, you know,
and just combing through it, I'm

421
00:28:13,230 --> 00:28:17,550
like. And it reminded me very
quickly that not only did I lose

422
00:28:17,550 --> 00:28:24,960
the explosive trap, I lost the
bursting shot, which I can't express

423
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,040
enough. Like how weird that
feels that not being there anymore.

424
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:33,120
Because I. I totally feel like
I'm missing a portion of utility.

425
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:37,320
I feel like I'm on three
quarters of my kit. Like I'm missing,

426
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,640
you know, like I still need
something. I feel like I'm missing

427
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,920
something. Right. So I'm
adjusting for that. And so I get

428
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,370
everything set up and so I did
the most logical thing, you know,

429
00:28:46,370 --> 00:28:49,090
like that every player does.
Every player does this, right? You

430
00:28:49,090 --> 00:28:51,690
get your talent system done
and to go test this, what do you

431
00:28:51,690 --> 00:28:58,650
do? You just jump into a
battleground. Worst idea ever.

432
00:28:59,290 --> 00:29:00,570
Bad mistake, man.

433
00:29:00,570 --> 00:29:05,730
It was bad mistake. But you
know what? It was so funny. It was

434
00:29:05,730 --> 00:29:09,210
so, so funny. I don't know why
I didn't go to a training dummy.

435
00:29:09,210 --> 00:29:12,360
This was so dumb. But it was
so funny when you were in There because

436
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,600
it was the battle of Gilneas
and which for those who don't know,

437
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,800
it's like domination. So
you've got three points and you're

438
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,600
trying to hold them. The more
you hold, the more points you get

439
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,720
first. 1500 wins. Okay. All
right. So it was silent the entire

440
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,600
battleground. No one spoke
because everyone was playing these

441
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,360
classes, trying to figure it
out. And we were in this weird. I've

442
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,260
never seen this in PvP ever.
Ever since we've played this game,

443
00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:45,460
we stood and fought and fought
and fought like, I mean like side

444
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:49,780
on one on one side of one on
the other. It just kept going. And

445
00:29:49,780 --> 00:29:53,620
everyone was taking so long to
kill each other because of the changes

446
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:57,140
and they were trying to learn
their class. Everyone was silent.

447
00:29:57,540 --> 00:30:02,150
And so like, it was the most
unique thing I've ever seen. We ended

448
00:30:02,150 --> 00:30:05,710
up like just getting smacked,
you know. But I'm like, it was so

449
00:30:05,710 --> 00:30:11,310
funny. I have never seen that.
And. And fast forward we go to do

450
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:15,390
a. At this point, I'm like,
okay, I've lost some things. You

451
00:30:15,390 --> 00:30:20,430
log in. Our good buddy, our
death logged in. Another friend of

452
00:30:20,430 --> 00:30:23,790
ours, Carbarus, had logged in.
And so we're all in this dungeon

453
00:30:23,790 --> 00:30:26,350
together. Shrine of the Storm,
I think. Was that our first one together?

454
00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:27,350
Like it was our first one.

455
00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:27,690
Yeah.

456
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Holy cow. I was not prepared
for the combat being slowed down

457
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,840
like it was. I was not
prepared to running. I'm running

458
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,720
into focus issues like
maintaining enough focus right now.

459
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,880
I was not prepared for the
changes and I. I don't want to keep

460
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,320
monologuing because I really
want your take on this too. But like,

461
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,840
oh man, pacing has slowed
down, hasn't it?

462
00:30:54,250 --> 00:31:01,130
Yes, it's. It's not your old
typical time walking blast through

463
00:31:01,130 --> 00:31:05,130
everything. At least right now
it's not. The time to kill is certainly

464
00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:11,010
longer. I don't particularly
feel that that has as much to do

465
00:31:11,010 --> 00:31:16,130
with the number squish as I do
the fact that we just don't have

466
00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:22,870
our full kits yet. So
remember, like we once midnight comes

467
00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:26,550
out, we have another 10 levels
to go to fill out our kit and to

468
00:31:26,550 --> 00:31:27,630
fill out our power.

469
00:31:28,030 --> 00:31:28,430
Right.

470
00:31:28,510 --> 00:31:33,550
So I think this is relatively
a temporary thing. And typically

471
00:31:33,550 --> 00:31:39,710
when they do item and number
squishes, they will do some tweaking

472
00:31:39,870 --> 00:31:44,190
in the subsequent weeks. So I
think things will get a little bit

473
00:31:44,190 --> 00:31:49,000
more back to normal. But I'm,
and I'm telling you from an honest

474
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:58,120
position, I did not mind the
time to kill being longer. I actually

475
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,640
really enjoyed the time
walking dungeons that we did because

476
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,880
the mechanics Were there?

477
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:04,760
Oh, yeah.

478
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,160
And we were having to go
through these dungeons as they were

479
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,960
originally designed. So it
will be very interesting to see how

480
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,810
that if it stays or if it
goes. But it was very refreshing

481
00:32:20,290 --> 00:32:25,810
to go through slower, enjoying
it a little bit more and just not

482
00:32:25,890 --> 00:32:26,850
decimating.

483
00:32:27,090 --> 00:32:27,530
Yeah.

484
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:29,250
Every single boss. Yeah,
that's fun.

485
00:32:29,330 --> 00:32:33,530
I loved it because it felt.
And I agree with you, I love it too.

486
00:32:33,530 --> 00:32:39,090
And I'll tell you why. It
feels like classic combat to an extent

487
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:43,300
in retail, because
everything's so much slower, everything

488
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:46,740
is much more thought out. I'm
doing a whole lot more basic attacks.

489
00:32:46,820 --> 00:32:50,220
I'm waiting for focus to come
back. Admittedly, I do look forward

490
00:32:50,220 --> 00:32:54,460
to getting that 2% focus buff
on my hero, my apex talent tree.

491
00:32:54,460 --> 00:32:59,220
You know what I'm, you know,
I'm doing that. But yeah, like it

492
00:32:59,220 --> 00:33:03,860
is slowed down significantly,
which totally harkens back to classic.

493
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:11,230
And I'll be honest, in the
grand scheme of things, with all

494
00:33:11,230 --> 00:33:15,230
the changes we're seeing in
Midnight, I'm glad that they've chosen

495
00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:20,790
to do this. I don't know if
this is a byproduct of the skill,

496
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:24,150
the numbers being squashed,
you know, I don't know if that has

497
00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:27,270
something to do with it. I'm
imagining it has a larger part to

498
00:33:27,270 --> 00:33:32,890
do with it. Maybe not, but
man, oh man, it. I'm glad they're

499
00:33:32,890 --> 00:33:35,450
doing this now with so many
other changes looming like that.

500
00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:38,650
This is just. I'm still
adjusting. Like I haven't even got

501
00:33:38,650 --> 00:33:40,970
a chance to log in today, but
I know as soon as I log in, I'm still

502
00:33:40,970 --> 00:33:42,770
going to be. Still adjusting
to this.

503
00:33:43,650 --> 00:33:47,490
Yeah, I think, I think part of
it is the number squish. And like

504
00:33:47,490 --> 00:33:50,890
right now, if you were to go
into some of the old dungeons and

505
00:33:50,890 --> 00:33:56,730
raids, you might run into
characters or into mobs that you

506
00:33:56,730 --> 00:33:59,400
have a little harder time
killing that they're. It's not just

507
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,080
one shot wonder and you're
done and you've got your transmog

508
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,920
and you're moving on. And over
time they're gonna, they will fix

509
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,800
that. And that, that does have
to do with the number squish. So

510
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:17,760
I think in part that is going
to be an over time thing as they

511
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,080
get to those items and get
them fixed and tweaked and you know,

512
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,360
bring that number squish down.
So it's commensurate with where we're

513
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:31,010
at. But at the same time, are
they going to leave a little bit

514
00:34:31,010 --> 00:34:37,130
of that extended time to kill
in there so that we can enjoy these

515
00:34:37,130 --> 00:34:40,450
Dungeons a little more. I
could be totally by myself on this.

516
00:34:40,450 --> 00:34:44,450
I know you like it, but our
opinions could be just like the total

517
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:47,810
casual, just chilling. I just,
I really, I'm enjoying going through

518
00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:52,660
these mechanics and enjoying
the time to kill being longer. I'd

519
00:34:52,660 --> 00:34:57,140
be very interested to read
some of these things and see what

520
00:34:57,140 --> 00:35:01,580
people are saying about the
changes and how it's affecting their

521
00:35:01,580 --> 00:35:04,260
time. It's like, no, I just
want to blast through the time walking

522
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:08,740
and get done with that. But,
yep, I'm just like, no. Look at flowers.

523
00:35:08,740 --> 00:35:09,220
Pretty.

524
00:35:09,220 --> 00:35:14,220
I, I mean, I agree. Yeah, I
like it. And you know, another thing

525
00:35:14,220 --> 00:35:17,580
that stood out to me that,
I'll be honest, I. It would, that

526
00:35:17,580 --> 00:35:20,230
was so. That was part of it,
right? Like that we're not in, we're

527
00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:23,270
not in Kansas anymore. This is
not the same Warcraft I woke up to

528
00:35:23,350 --> 00:35:30,470
the day prior and. But also
the Transmog system updates that

529
00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:34,829
system. I, that, that. It's
pretty. I mean, they did a great

530
00:35:34,829 --> 00:35:38,510
job. The cost was much cheaper
than I thought it would be for those

531
00:35:38,510 --> 00:35:43,870
first 10 slots, man. I, I was
sitting there working through Transmog

532
00:35:43,870 --> 00:35:47,280
and I thought to myself, this
is going to take some people significant

533
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,320
time to get used to. I think,
like, this is, this is, this is like

534
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,960
that next step, you know?

535
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,200
Yeah, I, I'm very happy with
the Transmog system. I think they

536
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,960
did a great job with it. They
put some really neat quality of life

537
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:05,360
things in there and I, I think
that they responded to player feedback

538
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,880
and lowered some of those
initial slots for you. The first

539
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,580
thing I was concerned about,
when I got in there and had no. And

540
00:36:13,580 --> 00:36:17,580
I had two slots, like the two
slots they give you. I was like,

541
00:36:17,740 --> 00:36:21,820
oh, my God. Because when you
log in the first time your character

542
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:25,340
is in, like, there's no
Transmog on your character.

543
00:36:25,340 --> 00:36:25,700
Right?

544
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:31,500
Even in your Warband camp, in
your login screen, you're wearing

545
00:36:32,060 --> 00:36:37,420
what he's wearing and you're
rocking those visuals. So I was like,

546
00:36:37,420 --> 00:36:41,750
oh, no. I didn't want to have
to go through and do all my transmogs

547
00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:47,630
again. So it took me a second
to find them. Once I got into the

548
00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:51,070
transmog, was the first thing
I did. Logged in, popped out, my

549
00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:54,830
mount dropped or, you know,
went into the Transmog system and

550
00:36:54,830 --> 00:36:59,750
all you have to do is find the
tab that says custom sets and all

551
00:36:59,750 --> 00:37:03,070
your Transmogs that you had
before are all there and they're

552
00:37:03,070 --> 00:37:08,220
beautifully displayed now.
Much, much better. Yeah, so I was,

553
00:37:08,220 --> 00:37:10,500
I was pretty happy with it. I
was pretty happy with the transmog

554
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:13,620
I was pretty happy with, I
immediately bought 10 slots. And,

555
00:37:13,620 --> 00:37:18,380
I mean, I think I'm good. I
really don't think I need more. Today

556
00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:23,380
I went in and I did a few
different sets and then set them

557
00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:28,460
to the different situations.
Like I. I did. I have my set for

558
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:34,890
when I'm in Founder's Point. I
have my set for when I go into rest

559
00:37:34,890 --> 00:37:40,570
areas, and then I have my set
for Adventuring. And I liked that.

560
00:37:40,570 --> 00:37:44,050
I was like, okay, this is.
This is pretty cool now. Yeah. So,

561
00:37:44,050 --> 00:37:45,850
yeah, man, I'm a fan of the changes.

562
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:50,570
Yeah. Yeah. So that. That was
actually a buck from my understanding.

563
00:37:50,570 --> 00:37:52,890
When you logged in and you
saw, like, what you were just wearing,

564
00:37:53,370 --> 00:37:57,610
and they gave everybody a free
character slot, that was, like their

565
00:37:57,610 --> 00:38:02,680
way of saying, we apologize.
So the first slot was free for transmog,

566
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,440
from what I understand. And so
I don't know how all that shaked

567
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,480
out in the grand scheme of
things, but because I felt the same

568
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,560
way when I logged in, I'm
like, oh, oh, what is he wearing?

569
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,800
Oh, he looks like a clown. Did
I just come home from Dark Mood Fair?

570
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,160
Yeah. And it's funny, too,
because. But now that I have my.

571
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:26,200
The transmog that I want on
him, when I. Even when I go into

572
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,320
my character creation or
character login screen.

573
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:29,760
Yeah.

574
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,920
One of my Pauldrons is the old
Pauldron. Just one.

575
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:34,720
Just one.

576
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:37,040
Everything else is my
transmog, the way I picked it, but

577
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:42,200
one Pauldron is effed up, and
I'm like, okay, I did find one thing

578
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,040
I didn't like, though.

579
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:43,560
Yeah.

580
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,200
There's one thing I didn't
like. And. And this is the. It's

581
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,920
the same thing when you make
macros. It's the same issue, you

582
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,560
know, when you have to choose
an icon.

583
00:38:53,690 --> 00:38:56,850
Oh, yeah, I know where you're
going. Yep.

584
00:38:56,850 --> 00:38:59,330
Yeah. They need a search function.

585
00:38:59,330 --> 00:38:59,770
Yes.

586
00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:03,650
For choosing icons for both
macros. And now that you have to

587
00:39:03,650 --> 00:39:08,890
name and put an icon to each
one of your transmog sets, I found

588
00:39:08,890 --> 00:39:14,730
myself spending an inordinate
amount of time today trying to find

589
00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:19,960
the one thing I was looking
for. It was my home set, the one

590
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,960
that I wear in Founder's Point
when I'm at my house. I just wanted

591
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:31,960
a damn Hearthstone. That's it.
And I could not find that thing because

592
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:37,280
there are thousands of icons
to choose from.

593
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,320
Yeah.

594
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,400
So if there were to be some
kind of a search function, not just

595
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040
the filter function, because
they have a filter for, like, items

596
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:49,950
and spells. That's doesn't do
you any favors. You are going through

597
00:39:50,350 --> 00:39:54,590
thousands of those things to
find something that you want. So

598
00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:56,590
one thing I didn't like, I'm.

599
00:39:56,590 --> 00:39:58,830
Sure someone's gonna add on
for that, but honestly, I would love

600
00:39:58,830 --> 00:40:01,149
to see the added natively.
Like, you're saying it's searchable

601
00:40:01,149 --> 00:40:05,470
by keyword because it's so
true like that now it's. It's imperative

602
00:40:05,710 --> 00:40:10,920
to have. Because it's
important now to be able to put the

603
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,640
right icon on your set, you
know, so, you know, particularly

604
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,000
because you can drag that now
onto your bar and change anytime,

605
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,080
you know, so there's, oddly
enough, more weight has been added

606
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,120
to that thing specifically,
you know, and so having that searchable

607
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,640
by keyword would be fantastic.
I ended up having to settle on just

608
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,440
some images that I could find.
I'm like, this will have to work

609
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,760
for now. And I just had to go
off color because I'm like, well,

610
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:41,850
I know that that'll, you know,
reference my fur esque transmog just

611
00:40:41,850 --> 00:40:44,050
because my cold tyran's
covered in furs as a hunter.

612
00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:46,130
So, like, did you say Ferrasque?

613
00:40:46,290 --> 00:40:48,690
I don't know where I was
going. It almost came out as chic.

614
00:40:48,690 --> 00:40:50,770
And I'm like, what. What is
happening right now?

615
00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:52,770
He's definitely not a chic.

616
00:40:52,770 --> 00:40:53,770
Oh, definitely not.

617
00:40:53,770 --> 00:40:54,890
That's Tanaris, bro.

618
00:40:54,890 --> 00:41:00,050
Oh, my bad, my bad, my bad.
But anyway, so what's exciting, though.

619
00:41:00,210 --> 00:41:02,930
Let's try to think what else
we could talk about. Oh, the class

620
00:41:02,930 --> 00:41:07,730
changes. So I mentioned, you
know, me losing a couple things,

621
00:41:08,450 --> 00:41:14,290
and admittedly, and I'm going
to you next, I. Playing as a hunter

622
00:41:14,290 --> 00:41:18,450
is very different. I have
tried beast mastery, which. Which

623
00:41:19,569 --> 00:41:23,530
I loved. All the specs leading
up into this point, right? Beastmaster,

624
00:41:23,530 --> 00:41:28,610
you know, super chill. It's
fun. It's chill fun now. It always

625
00:41:28,610 --> 00:41:31,370
was kind of mindless, but now
it's just, like, chill, mindless,

626
00:41:31,370 --> 00:41:38,330
and fun, and I love it.
Marksman. Holy cow. Marksman feels

627
00:41:38,330 --> 00:41:43,090
legitimately like a sniper. I
am legitimately watching targets

628
00:41:43,090 --> 00:41:46,210
down on the. Down in the
valley. I'm up on the ridge watching

629
00:41:46,210 --> 00:41:51,010
them, and it's crazy enough
they brought marksman back to what

630
00:41:51,010 --> 00:41:56,490
it was before. I think it may
have been before Dragonflight, when

631
00:41:56,490 --> 00:41:59,780
you could. When you popped
your true shot and it would give

632
00:41:59,780 --> 00:42:05,620
your aim shot a faster bolt.
That's back. And I'm just like, oh,

633
00:42:05,620 --> 00:42:08,380
that feels so good. It feels
so good.

634
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:11,460
You're killing me. You're
making me want to freaking get my

635
00:42:11,460 --> 00:42:13,180
hunter out of mothballs right now.

636
00:42:13,180 --> 00:42:16,780
Oh, my bad. I will Say I
haven't tried survival yet. I'm really

637
00:42:16,780 --> 00:42:19,620
wanting to and see the. The
dual wielding aspect, like that just

638
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:24,500
sounds crazy and fun, you
know, as a hunter and. But overall,

639
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:28,460
like, my class is feeling
good. I'm still adjusting, still

640
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:31,700
adjusting, but so far, so
good. How about yours?

641
00:42:31,860 --> 00:42:37,100
I. I'm pretty lucky because I
have a very strong healer. Like Resto

642
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:41,540
Druids came out of this, this,
all these changes very, very well.

643
00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:45,700
I did lose some skills, which.
Which is fine. I'm just. I'm getting

644
00:42:45,700 --> 00:42:49,020
used to it. The one, I would
say the biggest skill that I'm not

645
00:42:49,020 --> 00:42:50,660
used to not having is my bash.

646
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Oh, yeah?

647
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,360
Yeah. Even when I'm, you know,
just in my regular healing forms,

648
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,120
I would hit my bash if I was
within 10 yards of a caster target

649
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,440
and switch into cat real quick
and interrupt them. And I enjoyed

650
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,720
that. I enjoyed having that,
the ability to do that. And I know

651
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:12,440
what they're trying to do.
They're trying to get healers back

652
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,280
to healing and not, you know,
making them have to worry so, so

653
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,160
much about mechanics when
they're healing because there's enough

654
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:23,970
to worry about. 100 appreciate
that and appreciate that they recognize

655
00:43:23,970 --> 00:43:29,050
that and, and they want to
make that our play style a little

656
00:43:29,050 --> 00:43:34,010
bit better and less stressful.
However, I really would like to have

657
00:43:34,010 --> 00:43:39,250
that have an interrupt as a
Resto Druid when I'm out soloing

658
00:43:39,250 --> 00:43:42,690
because I don't switch into
another spec. And some people might

659
00:43:42,690 --> 00:43:44,880
think that's super crazy, but
I like to stay in my healing stuff

660
00:43:45,110 --> 00:43:48,630
back because I can still get
the job done, you know, just taking

661
00:43:48,630 --> 00:43:52,150
my time and I switch into cat
form and do my thing. So that was

662
00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:58,310
one. The other one is that my.
My grove guardians. Now I used to

663
00:43:58,310 --> 00:44:01,510
have three charges for my
grove guardians and I would just

664
00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:04,750
time them out and just, you
know, kind of set them out one at

665
00:44:04,750 --> 00:44:09,030
a time if I needed to or if I
really got in trouble. It was a really

666
00:44:09,030 --> 00:44:12,120
nice, you know, oh, crap
button that I could hit. Just pop

667
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,280
all three at the same time.

668
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:13,840
Right.

669
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,800
And that's gone now. Now it
procs with Life bloom, I believe.

670
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,160
And I. And you only get one
tree. So it's like, well, so it gives

671
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,840
you a little bit extra healing
and it. And it. It automatically

672
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:33,280
comes out when you use that
skill. So I just, you know, I'm getting

673
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,160
used to not saying that I
don't like it. I'm just getting used

674
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,740
to not having control of it
and having it be like an extra, you

675
00:44:40,740 --> 00:44:45,660
know, side utility for me. But
other than that. My play style hasn't

676
00:44:45,660 --> 00:44:51,020
changed a whole lot. Different
spells heal more. And I found through

677
00:44:51,020 --> 00:44:55,140
going, going through my
healing stats, I found that my rejuvenation

678
00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:59,380
was like one of my top heels.
And that's just a, you know, it's

679
00:44:59,380 --> 00:45:04,350
just a random plop it on heal
over time, all the time. And. And

680
00:45:04,350 --> 00:45:09,710
that seems to be doing a ton
more healing. So I really can't complain.

681
00:45:10,270 --> 00:45:13,950
You know, I'm feeling the
changes too, but none of them are

682
00:45:14,510 --> 00:45:18,310
class breaking for me to where
I'm like, I'm done. I'm not playing

683
00:45:18,310 --> 00:45:24,270
this class. I'm going to my
Hunter. Not yet. I'm liking it.

684
00:45:24,590 --> 00:45:26,670
Come on over, baby. Come on over.

685
00:45:26,750 --> 00:45:28,630
Oh, yeah. Then we won't have a healer.

686
00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:33,160
That's all right. Come on
over. It'll be fun. We have cookies.

687
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:39,000
Oh, gosh. All right, so
Twilight Ascension is coming. This

688
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,800
is happening today as of this
episode release. So. Man, oh man,

689
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,040
you know, they came out with
that trailer, you know, and that's

690
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,640
kind of like what. Honestly,
what the whole article was originally

691
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,880
around to begin with was this
trailer, you know, and I gotta tell

692
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:58,410
you, I'm excited for this
event. I hope it's as enjoyable as

693
00:45:58,410 --> 00:46:00,570
some of the things, you know,
like we talked about last episode,

694
00:46:00,570 --> 00:46:04,330
like we were referencing
Shadowlands and. And some pre. Other

695
00:46:04,330 --> 00:46:08,930
previous events as well. I
can't wait. I know. Especially after

696
00:46:08,930 --> 00:46:13,090
we've had this week to kind of
work through our classes and get

697
00:46:13,090 --> 00:46:17,810
comfy, settle in, you know,
that new house smell. Ish.

698
00:46:17,890 --> 00:46:18,450
Ish.

699
00:46:19,650 --> 00:46:23,530
But you know, I'm excited. Pun
intended. Yeah, I'm excited about

700
00:46:23,530 --> 00:46:25,650
this. I'm excited about this
Twilight event.

701
00:46:25,810 --> 00:46:28,610
I am too. And we did. We
talked about it on last week's show

702
00:46:28,610 --> 00:46:34,730
about how many of WOW's pre
patch events in the past, you know,

703
00:46:34,730 --> 00:46:37,970
in preparation for expansion
launches have been a lot of fun and

704
00:46:38,050 --> 00:46:41,810
I think this one will follow
suit. It seems like it's going to

705
00:46:41,810 --> 00:46:43,890
follow suit. And when I say
that, I mean I think there's gonna

706
00:46:43,890 --> 00:46:47,890
be a lot of people in the
Twilight Highlands doing this event

707
00:46:48,460 --> 00:46:53,740
because there's a lot to it.
Now, for the auspices of time, we

708
00:46:53,740 --> 00:46:58,260
are going to go through these
points very quickly. But we do want

709
00:46:58,260 --> 00:47:01,180
to let you know, if you
haven't already been playing today

710
00:47:01,340 --> 00:47:05,660
on launch day, we just want to
let you know what the Twilight Ascension

711
00:47:05,740 --> 00:47:11,820
patch is going to bring for
you. So is it is an event that ties

712
00:47:11,820 --> 00:47:14,910
in the storyline in between
the World War within and the launch

713
00:47:14,910 --> 00:47:19,390
of Midnight, and you can do
the event from level 10 to 80 so

714
00:47:19,390 --> 00:47:21,510
you can actually level while
you're doing this. I don't know how

715
00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:24,710
efficient it is to level doing
this, but just keep in mind that

716
00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:26,830
the winds of mysterious
fortune are going to be going on

717
00:47:26,830 --> 00:47:30,310
during the event, so I would
assume it'd be pretty damn lucrative

718
00:47:30,310 --> 00:47:33,430
if you want to just level
doing this event and get get your

719
00:47:33,590 --> 00:47:36,790
the biggest bang for your buck
you most likely can. So they're going

720
00:47:36,790 --> 00:47:39,110
to put you through an intro
quest. It's going to take you to

721
00:47:39,110 --> 00:47:42,240
the Twilight Highlands to
infiltrate the Twilight Squad Blade,

722
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:47,040
who is in league with
Xalatath, and completing the event

723
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,480
unlocks the event account
wide. So you're going to complete

724
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,960
this quest line. Then you. You
just have to do it the one time on

725
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,639
one character, and then the
event is going to be open to all

726
00:47:57,639 --> 00:48:01,280
your other characters. So with
Twilight Ascension, they're introducing

727
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,600
a new currency called the
Twilight's Blade Insignia, and that's

728
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,080
also going to be warbound for
you. So you can can mix and match

729
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,000
and trade and do all the
things to your heart's content with

730
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,880
your alts. Now that Twilight's
Blade Insignia currency is going

731
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:20,440
to be used to purchase rewards
like ketchup gear, there's all kinds

732
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,120
of new transmog items that you
can get. There's world quests that

733
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,440
are going to be part of it
that reward 10 currency each. If

734
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,800
you do those, there's rare
events that are going to pop every

735
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,570
10 minutes, which are small
outdoor scenarios, and it's pretty

736
00:48:36,570 --> 00:48:39,250
much like waves of enemies,
and you kill them, kill them, kill

737
00:48:39,250 --> 00:48:42,730
them with other players, and
then there's a boss that will pop.

738
00:48:43,690 --> 00:48:46,970
Now when that pops, you're
going to be rewarded with Valor Stones,

739
00:48:46,970 --> 00:48:52,690
Crystals, Crests to upgrade
your gear. And then one Twilight

740
00:48:52,690 --> 00:48:57,290
Blade Insignia, which is kind
of a surprise, but you're gonna have

741
00:48:57,290 --> 00:49:00,890
to do a lot of these events if
you want to pick up all of the stuff

742
00:49:00,890 --> 00:49:05,970
that's available for you. So
there's also a couple of weekly quests

743
00:49:05,970 --> 00:49:08,770
that are going to have Valor
Stones, Crystals, crests, and the

744
00:49:08,770 --> 00:49:12,450
weekly quest gets you 40
Twilight blade insignia. So at the

745
00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:17,570
very least, if you do the two
weeklies, you will get 80 Twilight

746
00:49:17,570 --> 00:49:22,250
blade insignia as currency. So
the things that you can get, there's

747
00:49:22,250 --> 00:49:25,490
a lot of rewards that you can
buy with that currency. There's tons

748
00:49:25,490 --> 00:49:30,980
of transmogs which go for 30
to 50 currency each. There's a bunch

749
00:49:30,980 --> 00:49:34,180
of housing items which is new
stuff that you haven't seen before.

750
00:49:35,140 --> 00:49:39,300
There's a mount for 100 of the
currency. There's pets and toys both

751
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:44,100
for 30 of the currency.
There's new achievements if you want.

752
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:47,140
I know we went through it very
quickly, but if you want a very good

753
00:49:48,340 --> 00:49:51,980
synopsis of everything that's
coming to you with Twilight Ascension,

754
00:49:51,980 --> 00:49:54,710
Mr. Mr. GM has a really,
really good video on YouTube and

755
00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:59,390
we will link it in the show
notes for you to clicky click upon

756
00:49:59,470 --> 00:50:01,470
and absorb yourself.

757
00:50:02,110 --> 00:50:05,270
Yeah, agreed. And folks, by
the way, I know there's something

758
00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:09,470
else that we didn't talk about
today. All the decor updates. We'll

759
00:50:09,470 --> 00:50:12,830
probably talk about that next
week, but my goodness, check your

760
00:50:12,830 --> 00:50:16,470
decor catalog and go look
around at other cool things you can

761
00:50:16,470 --> 00:50:18,720
earn. And I'm pretty sure
there's some things here involved

762
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:21,830
solving that as well. So yeah,
buckle up. It's gonna be a great

763
00:50:21,830 --> 00:50:25,430
time. So exclusive Deep. Now
we're kind of taking a little bit

764
00:50:25,430 --> 00:50:27,670
of a turn here and we can. Let
me backtrack for a second. We're

765
00:50:27,670 --> 00:50:30,510
kind of taking a little bit of
a turn just for a second, even though

766
00:50:30,510 --> 00:50:33,750
it's Twilight Ascension
release day, because it's something

767
00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:38,830
you need to know about.
Exclusive details of Northrend's

768
00:50:38,830 --> 00:50:44,310
redesign and the Last Titan is
coming to us from Game Informer's

769
00:50:44,310 --> 00:50:48,550
official YouTube page, folks.
Alex Van Aken, the senior video editor

770
00:50:48,550 --> 00:50:52,510
at Game Informer, sat down
with game director Ian Hazikostas,

771
00:50:52,830 --> 00:50:56,510
associate game director Paul
Cubitt, principal artist Gabriel

772
00:50:56,510 --> 00:51:00,270
Gonzalez, and design director
Maria Hamilton. I think it's actually

773
00:51:00,270 --> 00:51:04,030
essential, as we're building
and trying to deliver a living world,

774
00:51:04,350 --> 00:51:08,190
that we be able to tell new
stories in familiar places.

775
00:51:08,670 --> 00:51:09,070
Right?

776
00:51:09,150 --> 00:51:13,030
It would be so limiting if we
said that the most iconic locations

777
00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:16,690
in all of World of Warcraft
are off limits because we've already

778
00:51:16,690 --> 00:51:19,810
told a story there and they
exist in a moment in time. And sorry,

779
00:51:19,810 --> 00:51:22,130
I guess we can never go back
to Northrend. I guess we can never

780
00:51:22,130 --> 00:51:25,450
go back to some of these
places. And so we're excited to really

781
00:51:25,450 --> 00:51:29,690
be able to tackle that, folks.
This entire video and I got a feeling

782
00:51:29,690 --> 00:51:33,530
there's going to be multiples
of this because you got to see some

783
00:51:33,530 --> 00:51:38,290
other people in there as well
that are from the Warcraft dev team

784
00:51:38,450 --> 00:51:40,650
that clearly they were a part
of the recording. So I think they're

785
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,800
gonna be more videos. But this
one was solely around Northrend and

786
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,000
Quel' tha loss. And they're
the weight that that's really being

787
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,960
carried with the idea of
redesigning this, these areas and

788
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,200
like returning to these areas.
And, you know, this is something

789
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,880
that we have been wanting to
see. Warcraft do in a big way for

790
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:03,360
so long, Cash, you and I is go
redoing the areas that we've loved,

791
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:08,130
you know, and we know it's on
the horizon now, especially after

792
00:52:08,130 --> 00:52:12,410
this video, and we know that
there's a lot of weight that comes

793
00:52:12,410 --> 00:52:17,930
with this. So hearing it now
from Ian, especially in this video,

794
00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:19,530
like, where's your head at
with this?

795
00:52:20,090 --> 00:52:23,810
I think that this is a
testament to the fact that they know

796
00:52:23,810 --> 00:52:29,810
they have to get this one
right. There's expansions out there

797
00:52:29,810 --> 00:52:33,370
that were really good, and
there's expansions out there that

798
00:52:33,370 --> 00:52:38,440
were okay, and then there's
ones that were like, yeah, whatever,

799
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:46,160
but Wrath of the Lich King is
an amazing expansion. It is. It's

800
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,840
probably like when people ask
you what your favorite Star wars

801
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,320
movie is, and if you say
anything other than Empire Strikes

802
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,880
Back, you're just flat out wrong.

803
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,520
Hey, yeah, you're wrong again.

804
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,560
It's really any scene with the
little green gay.

805
00:52:59,890 --> 00:53:01,010
But we may be partial.

806
00:53:02,690 --> 00:53:06,130
You're wrong. Doesn't matter
what your opinion is. The Empire

807
00:53:06,130 --> 00:53:08,730
Strikes Back is the best Star
wars movie. And I think it's the

808
00:53:08,730 --> 00:53:12,370
same sentiment for Wrath of
the Lich King for a lot of people.

809
00:53:12,690 --> 00:53:15,330
And if Wrath isn't your
favorite, then I'm. I'm just. I'm

810
00:53:15,330 --> 00:53:18,850
just teasing. I flick nuts.
That's what I do. Just teasing you.

811
00:53:19,330 --> 00:53:25,090
But I personally feel that had
they gotten this one wrong or didn't

812
00:53:25,260 --> 00:53:29,900
do it, the service that it
deserves, going back to Northrend,

813
00:53:30,140 --> 00:53:36,140
redoing the Zone. Like, a lot
has happened in Azeroth since 2008,

814
00:53:36,140 --> 00:53:37,740
which is when Wrath came out. Right.

815
00:53:38,140 --> 00:53:39,580
Almost 20 years ago.

816
00:53:40,780 --> 00:53:45,100
Almost 20 years ago. Which is
so crazy that we are.

817
00:53:45,340 --> 00:53:45,740
Right.

818
00:53:46,220 --> 00:53:51,820
Just launching a podcast for
World of Warcraft in 2025, 2026.

819
00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:59,310
I know, it's. It's nuts that
the game still has the bite that

820
00:53:59,310 --> 00:54:02,830
we all remember way back when.
It's. It's a beautiful thing, bro.

821
00:54:02,830 --> 00:54:07,270
Honestly, when you think about
it, it is a beautiful thing to have,

822
00:54:08,470 --> 00:54:13,350
for them to have the funds for
one, to have a development team that

823
00:54:13,350 --> 00:54:18,870
is big and vast and has tons
of resources that they can put this

824
00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:25,170
much back into the game all
these years later and allow us to

825
00:54:25,170 --> 00:54:30,330
revisit a zone that has had
progress. There's things have. We

826
00:54:30,330 --> 00:54:33,250
have. Might not have been up
there, but when we get back there,

827
00:54:33,250 --> 00:54:36,690
finally, we are going to see
how things have progressed and how

828
00:54:36,690 --> 00:54:41,570
they've changed. And, like,
what this brings me back to. And

829
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:44,210
I think about this, like, I
have very fond memories of Wrath

830
00:54:44,210 --> 00:54:48,340
of Lich King very fond of. But
the biggest thing that I remember

831
00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:53,700
was launch day for Wrath. When
you take that boat ride from Stormwind

832
00:54:54,420 --> 00:54:57,100
and you head into that harbor
for the first time. It was the first

833
00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:00,500
time that we had an experience
like that, going to the Zone and

834
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:04,660
the music is playing and
you're going through the icebergs

835
00:55:04,980 --> 00:55:10,220
and then you dock at port. Do
you remember that experience or does

836
00:55:10,220 --> 00:55:13,220
that particular experience
stick out to you when you first land

837
00:55:13,220 --> 00:55:13,540
there?

838
00:55:13,740 --> 00:55:17,220
It sticks out to me. I didn't
have that the way you had it because

839
00:55:17,220 --> 00:55:23,900
I came in way later. But to
this day I do recall I, I, I had

840
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:27,740
started the cuz I've never
truthfully. And I'm purposely waiting

841
00:55:27,740 --> 00:55:31,140
for Heroic Tier to release.
I'm purposely waiting for that to

842
00:55:31,140 --> 00:55:34,060
be at some point, hopefully in retail.

843
00:55:34,300 --> 00:55:36,220
Then, then Jeff's gonna say,
we don't know if that's coming.

844
00:55:36,220 --> 00:55:39,380
No, we don't know if it's
coming. I hope it is. And with Legion

845
00:55:39,380 --> 00:55:42,630
Remix, I have to find firmly
believe that it is at some point.

846
00:55:42,870 --> 00:55:47,190
I'm waiting to. Because I've
never played the entire entirety

847
00:55:47,190 --> 00:55:51,670
of truthfully, any expansion
aside from. I think it would have

848
00:55:51,670 --> 00:55:57,430
been Shadowlands and most of
Dragon. Well, Dragonflight. So, like,

849
00:55:57,430 --> 00:56:00,710
you know, like, I haven't done
that yet and I've been purposely

850
00:56:00,710 --> 00:56:03,710
waiting on old content as far
as, like, hunting, presenting those

851
00:56:03,710 --> 00:56:09,560
things. So I did do that boat
ride. Yes. But I had like, started

852
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,440
the quest and then I, and I
stopped doing it after that just

853
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,320
because I was just like, I, I
just want to wait. And so, but yeah,

854
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,880
man, and, and you're right,
you know, you are sailing past. That

855
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:25,720
is a, that is a vibe that sets
the tone. Right. Just like you were

856
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:28,480
telling me the other day.
Christy Golden's Blood Ties book.

857
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,680
We have talked about that book
so many times. Did it not set the

858
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:33,720
tone right out the gate?

859
00:56:34,590 --> 00:56:37,590
It did. And that's something
that I forgot to mention and I'm

860
00:56:37,590 --> 00:56:42,190
very sorry for doing that. But
I have been devouring that book this

861
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:42,470
week.

862
00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:43,390
You made it Paladin.

863
00:56:43,390 --> 00:56:49,150
And yes, it, it sets the tone.
And I now, I now wish that I had

864
00:56:49,150 --> 00:56:53,790
read it two months ago because
things would have made like. Air

865
00:56:53,790 --> 00:56:57,470
tour. Would have made a lot of
sense to me. Air tour, when you play

866
00:56:57,470 --> 00:57:02,950
through the. God, I don't even
remember what that questline was

867
00:57:02,950 --> 00:57:05,510
called, but it was a recent
questline that we had to tie in War

868
00:57:05,510 --> 00:57:14,070
within to Midnight. And Eritor
is a Paladin that goes to. He goes

869
00:57:14,070 --> 00:57:20,630
to track down Sylvanas and I
Was like, I didn't really know who

870
00:57:20,630 --> 00:57:22,910
Eritor was. Now I do.

871
00:57:23,070 --> 00:57:23,590
Yeah.

872
00:57:23,590 --> 00:57:26,630
And I'm not. I mean, if you.
If you know Lore, then you probably

873
00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:29,420
know who is. But I'm not going
to ruin that for you. It's really

874
00:57:29,420 --> 00:57:33,060
neat just going to tell you.
You find out who Eritorious, but,

875
00:57:33,060 --> 00:57:37,740
man, it really does set the
tone. Fantastic book. Total side

876
00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:42,620
note. Pick it up and start
reading it now. Totally worth it.

877
00:57:42,700 --> 00:57:47,100
Christy. Outstanding work so
far. I'm only, like, on chapter 10,

878
00:57:47,100 --> 00:57:48,620
but outstanding work so far.

879
00:57:48,620 --> 00:57:51,180
Oh, man, you are. You are
right in the thick of it. Oh, yeah,

880
00:57:51,180 --> 00:57:55,700
yeah. That was a good book.
Oh, man, Book. I hope she's at Blizzcon.

881
00:57:55,700 --> 00:57:58,700
I may bring my book. I want to
see if she's there. She's gonna be

882
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:00,820
there. I may see if she'll
sign it. Oh.

883
00:58:00,820 --> 00:58:05,100
Oh, my gosh. I'm gonna watch
you develop Tourette's as soon as

884
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:05,900
she's in front of you.

885
00:58:05,900 --> 00:58:08,820
You know what's funny? She
real. You know what's really funny?

886
00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:14,460
I don't geek out over, like,
hang. Like, when we've interviewed

887
00:58:14,460 --> 00:58:17,860
developers before. It doesn't
really bother me. Right. Like, I

888
00:58:17,860 --> 00:58:23,630
don't really, like, freak out.
You put me around an author. You

889
00:58:23,630 --> 00:58:27,950
put me around someone who's,
like, in audio, like, maybe within

890
00:58:27,950 --> 00:58:34,030
the industry that's, like an
audio designer. I'm like, my name's

891
00:58:34,830 --> 00:58:37,230
Jibbs. Can you sign my book, please?

892
00:58:37,950 --> 00:58:41,350
Thought you were gonna say
abduct, but, dude, no, you cannot

893
00:58:41,350 --> 00:58:45,640
abduct them. That is
kidnapping, and it is illegal. Frowned

894
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:45,960
upon.

895
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,720
Oh, yeah. No, man, that's what
I'll. That's when I, like, remember

896
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,040
that time you and I
interviewed Drew Karpishin, like,

897
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,400
over a decade ago?

898
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,440
Yes, I do. That was absolutely nuts.

899
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,720
You want to talk about just
dripping with sweat from nerves.

900
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,760
That was me. Oh, my gosh. But
yeah, yeah. Anyway, both of us.

901
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,040
He wrote the Darth Bane series.

902
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:06,680
Yeah.

903
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,200
Or Star Wars. Old Republic.
Fantastic author.

904
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,420
Oh, yeah. But, yeah, you know,
getting back on. You know, get back

905
00:59:13,420 --> 00:59:17,980
on the tracks here. But the.
So to kind of piggyback off what

906
00:59:17,980 --> 00:59:20,220
you said, you know, when
you're talking about that iconic

907
00:59:20,220 --> 00:59:26,899
moment where things set the
tone and that tone from my viewpoint,

908
00:59:26,899 --> 00:59:28,980
because, again, I haven't
played through all of it, and I'm

909
00:59:28,980 --> 00:59:31,140
purposely waiting. I've been
in the zones and I've done things

910
00:59:31,140 --> 00:59:34,580
in these zones. A lot of stuff
in these zones, But I've never. 100%

911
00:59:34,580 --> 00:59:38,550
of the story. That tone.
Setting of the tone is carried throughout

912
00:59:38,550 --> 00:59:42,910
that. That whole expansion I
believe and that there's a weight

913
00:59:42,990 --> 00:59:47,710
that comes with that. And
that's the weight I hear in Ian's

914
00:59:47,710 --> 00:59:51,990
voice, the weight I hear in
Paul Gabriel's, Maria's voice. You

915
00:59:51,990 --> 00:59:56,430
know, like when they're
talking that they understand that

916
00:59:56,830 --> 01:00:02,710
the, how delicate they have to
be, how, because of just how simply

917
01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:06,060
revered something is. You
know, he said, quote, time has passed

918
01:00:06,210 --> 01:00:10,450
past. Were telling a different
story this time around. So not only

919
01:00:10,450 --> 01:00:15,330
do they have to honor what
came before, but they also have to

920
01:00:15,330 --> 01:00:18,730
find a way to move it forward.
I don't envy them. That's quite a

921
01:00:18,730 --> 01:00:22,810
feat, you know, that is quite
a. A challenge. I know they'll, they'll

922
01:00:22,810 --> 01:00:29,050
just crush it, but man, that
is it to me. I, I'll cap some with

923
01:00:29,050 --> 01:00:34,740
this. I'm passing it to you.
To me, what stands out to me the

924
01:00:34,740 --> 01:00:39,940
most is they realize the
weight they, they feel that burden

925
01:00:39,940 --> 01:00:45,820
of we need to get this right,
we need to respect this area. And

926
01:00:45,820 --> 01:00:47,020
that just stands out to me.

927
01:00:47,260 --> 01:00:52,420
I really hope that people
understand that a developer is never

928
01:00:52,420 --> 01:00:55,980
out to screw something up.
Nobody shows up to work and says,

929
01:00:56,140 --> 01:01:01,670
I'm going to f things up
today. Nobody does. Everybody wants

930
01:01:01,670 --> 01:01:06,430
to do a good job. Things just
like when you're really creating

931
01:01:06,430 --> 01:01:09,670
something nigh from scratch, right?

932
01:01:10,150 --> 01:01:10,630
Yeah.

933
01:01:10,630 --> 01:01:16,190
A brand new storyline from
pretty much scratch that may, you

934
01:01:16,190 --> 01:01:19,430
know, it's obviously based
upon historical things that are already

935
01:01:19,430 --> 01:01:23,590
established within the game.
That is not an easy thing to do,

936
01:01:24,510 --> 01:01:27,390
like sit down and tell
yourself that you're gonna write

937
01:01:27,390 --> 01:01:33,350
a short story and here's,
here's your tablet. Go. Okay, what

938
01:01:33,350 --> 01:01:35,910
do I write? Well, you think
they don't have writer's block? You

939
01:01:35,910 --> 01:01:38,710
think they don't have things
that they're afraid aren't gonna

940
01:01:38,710 --> 01:01:42,550
hit for people and people are
gonna love. And you know, there's,

941
01:01:42,550 --> 01:01:46,670
there's a lot of lore hands
out there that know this lore in

942
01:01:46,670 --> 01:01:51,760
and out and they're going to
pick it apart. So I think that's

943
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,720
a big thing that they have to
contend with, is making sure they're

944
01:01:55,720 --> 01:02:02,280
hitting the lore correctly and
at the same time paying homage to

945
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:07,160
something that was so beloved
back in the day. It's a tall order.

946
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,720
Yeah, agreed. And here's what
Maria had to say about that as she

947
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:11,240
continued.

948
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:18,280
I think it's an iconic place
and it's not just a zone or two,

949
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:24,520
it's the whole continent. And
that is, as Gabe said, a little scary.

950
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:29,760
And it's paying or doing
justice to people's memories of those

951
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:35,360
places. Like Sholazar for me,
was One of my favorite places. I

952
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,800
enjoyed the quests there. I
enjoyed poking around. I enjoyed,

953
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,400
you know, siding with the
oracles and then later siding with

954
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,480
the wolves and trying to get
all the loot. I have fond memories

955
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,040
learning about Titan
involvement in Sholazar as I quested

956
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:55,640
Nax. I spent so much time in
Nax with my very not so good guild.

957
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,600
You know, we safety dance.
God, the safety dance over and over.

958
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,560
So there are memories there
that I think anyone who played there

959
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,640
are going to, you know,
they're going to have. And we want

960
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,480
to make sure that we're doing
justice to those memories, but also

961
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,720
telling the story that we're
telling right now. And you know,

962
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:20,320
Northrend, we're going back
there and you're gonna see what has

963
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,440
changed, you know, what has
happened. And that'll be based on

964
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,880
time, but that'll also be
based on the events that are, that

965
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:33,120
are unfolding in front of us.
And so it's finding that again, that

966
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:38,080
balance, balance of nostalgia
and what's happening in the world,

967
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:43,680
you know, how effectively can
we hit those notes, respecting what.

968
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:50,040
Was while bringing it into
what is. I mean, again, you hear

969
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:55,320
it in her voice, the weight
that comes with this design. It's

970
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,160
a lot, man.

971
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:01,920
Yeah, it is. And it shows that
they are fully aware of how much

972
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:06,460
people love, love the world
that they've built. So, you know,

973
01:04:06,460 --> 01:04:12,540
the history of any place has
to remain relevant in both its, you

974
01:04:12,540 --> 01:04:15,980
know, it's the past itself and
the new stories that they want to

975
01:04:15,980 --> 01:04:21,860
tell. When I look at it, I see
it as the progression of events from

976
01:04:21,860 --> 01:04:28,180
old zones, making them into
new zones, completely revamping them.

977
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:35,120
And I fully believe this. This
is the Warcraft 2 that everybody

978
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:41,840
talks about. This is it. You
are watching it unfold in front of

979
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:46,840
you with the revamp of Quel'
th Loss, the revamp of Northrend

980
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:55,440
paying homage to stories that
are old and retelling stories in

981
01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:00,840
these new areas as they slowly
pick at redoing the entire world

982
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,640
that is World of Warcraft 2,
my friends.

983
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,200
Oh, yeah, yeah, without a
shadow of a doubt. I mean, yeah,

984
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:11,559
I agree with everything you're
saying. I agree wholeheartedly. They

985
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,520
absolutely understand the
weight that goes into this and they

986
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:20,280
absolutely see this as like
the, the zone that like, okay, the

987
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:25,450
events ended but the people
there didn't stop living there. Like

988
01:05:26,250 --> 01:05:29,530
they weren't in like some
pause loop like they were at in Drustvar

989
01:05:29,530 --> 01:05:32,050
when you started the quest
line over them bfa, you know, where

990
01:05:32,050 --> 01:05:36,530
everyone's just like frozen in
time that didn't happen. So what

991
01:05:36,530 --> 01:05:39,690
would that look like if things
were to move forward? What's that

992
01:05:39,690 --> 01:05:45,690
look like with the. The rumor
has it from a couple Easter eggs

993
01:05:45,690 --> 01:05:48,390
from Dragonflight that the. I
think it was Dragonfly flight, that

994
01:05:48,390 --> 01:05:50,750
the undead over there are
acting a fool because they don't

995
01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:55,950
have a Lich King. So it's just
like, you know, things kept moving

996
01:05:56,430 --> 01:05:59,750
and I can't wait to see what
that looks like. I can't wait to

997
01:05:59,750 --> 01:06:03,709
experience it. I know you're
excited about it, and if I'm being

998
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:08,630
truthfully honest with you,
the expansion, to me, and this is

999
01:06:08,630 --> 01:06:11,790
not a knock, please don't take
it this way, the expansion I've looked

1000
01:06:11,790 --> 01:06:15,740
forward to the most out of
this entire saga was the last Titan.

1001
01:06:16,140 --> 01:06:19,420
The moment I saw that come up,
I'd like, ooh, that right there.

1002
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:22,620
That. I can't wait to see that.

1003
01:06:23,100 --> 01:06:27,180
And I like. I know it's far
off, and I know that we have midnight.

1004
01:06:27,180 --> 01:06:30,060
We're talking about the last
Titan right now. And we have midnight.

1005
01:06:30,379 --> 01:06:34,580
Not even here yet. But when I
think about the possibilities of

1006
01:06:34,580 --> 01:06:39,020
what the last Titan is going
to revolve around, it brings me right

1007
01:06:39,020 --> 01:06:42,360
back to what we're covering
right now. Right now in our lore

1008
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:42,920
lessons.

1009
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:43,560
Yep.

1010
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:47,320
Which is the origin stories
and what happened with the Titans.

1011
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,200
How did they end up being a
part of this whole thing? They showed

1012
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,600
up and now they're doing this
thing. And how are they influencing

1013
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,600
the world? And that is. Is
going to be really neat to uncover

1014
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,080
when they finally release the
last Titan. But we have midnight

1015
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:02,360
first.

1016
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:03,440
Yeah, we do.

1017
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,560
And lots of things still to
talk about revolving around midnight.

1018
01:07:07,790 --> 01:07:09,750
Agreed. Well, folks, if you
want to check out the rest of this

1019
01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:12,870
full interview, we'll have it
linked over for you at the episode

1020
01:07:12,870 --> 01:07:15,390
page over@azerothmoring.com.

1021
01:07:22,270 --> 01:07:35,430
Snark online. Snark is online.
Friends, we have kind of a funny

1022
01:07:35,430 --> 01:07:40,060
one tonight. Snark spat out
HOA meeting. And there's a note that

1023
01:07:40,060 --> 01:07:44,860
says, congratulations, you're
the new president. So anyway, apparently

1024
01:07:44,860 --> 01:07:48,060
this is the segment where we
discuss the latest happenings in

1025
01:07:48,060 --> 01:07:52,379
your neighborhood and then
demand your opinion. Otherwise, we're

1026
01:07:52,379 --> 01:07:55,900
gonna double the money that
you owe every month for your association

1027
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:59,500
dues. But tonight, we're gonna
talk about endeavors. You had to

1028
01:07:59,500 --> 01:08:02,180
see it coming. It just got
pooped out.

1029
01:08:02,540 --> 01:08:05,660
We started ours endeavors.
Yeah, we started ours this week.

1030
01:08:06,140 --> 01:08:08,780
We did start ours. And. And
they're. They're pretty cool. So

1031
01:08:08,780 --> 01:08:11,660
we're going to give you a
quick down and dirty on what endeavors

1032
01:08:11,740 --> 01:08:17,500
are and how you can take part
in them. What are they? Well, monthly

1033
01:08:17,500 --> 01:08:22,580
neighborhood wide events tied
to Midnight's housing feature. It's

1034
01:08:22,580 --> 01:08:27,020
kind of like a trading post on
steroids where everybody chips in

1035
01:08:27,020 --> 01:08:30,549
to unlock rewards and
decorations. And once an endeavor

1036
01:08:30,549 --> 01:08:34,269
goes live, it will stick
around for about a month. And the

1037
01:08:34,269 --> 01:08:38,509
way they work is your
neighborhood will get a themed task.

1038
01:08:39,389 --> 01:08:43,029
Doing those tasks around the
neighborhood will fill a neighborhood

1039
01:08:43,029 --> 01:08:48,029
favor progress bar. And tasks
will range from very simple things

1040
01:08:48,109 --> 01:08:52,469
like gathering some different
quests, decorating stuff, to big

1041
01:08:52,469 --> 01:08:55,670
ticket stuff like dungeons and
raids and boards, world bosses and

1042
01:08:55,750 --> 01:09:01,270
rares and all that stuff. I
jumped in today and I was. We had

1043
01:09:01,270 --> 01:09:05,350
a visit from the mechanomes
and that's what's going on in our

1044
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:09,830
neighborhood. And I was doing
everything from cleaning up oil slicks

1045
01:09:09,830 --> 01:09:17,470
around the town square to
fixing potholes to finding lost mechanical

1046
01:09:17,470 --> 01:09:21,670
chickens. And then I ended up
in Mechagon, which I love, love this

1047
01:09:21,830 --> 01:09:28,510
fact. I ended up in Mechagon
doing rares in Mechagon to help them

1048
01:09:28,510 --> 01:09:31,230
out. Like they're over
visiting us and we're like, yeah,

1049
01:09:31,230 --> 01:09:33,990
let's repay the favor. Let's
go help you with some of your stuff.

1050
01:09:34,310 --> 01:09:38,470
So there's a port directly to
Mechagon where you can go and do

1051
01:09:38,470 --> 01:09:41,270
some of those and it
contributes to your neighborhood

1052
01:09:41,270 --> 01:09:46,170
favor progress bar, which is
cool. So as your neighborhood favorite

1053
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,160
buffs unlock, you're going to
be able to get bigger rewards and

1054
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:56,000
more wares from the vendors.
Now you may wonder how these endeavors

1055
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,360
are chosen and how you end up
with what you're going to get on

1056
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,439
your rotation each month.
Well, in public neighborhoods, the

1057
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,880
server will pick it for you.
In private neighborhoods, the neighborhood

1058
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:11,360
manager chooses it. And I
assume this is what you did.

1059
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:12,480
Jibs, it's me.

1060
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,050
Yes. You pick the mechanomes,
which was cool. They're actually,

1061
01:10:16,050 --> 01:10:19,890
it's really neat. You know,
everything's themed. It's super cool.

1062
01:10:20,370 --> 01:10:24,410
And then priority endeavors
will override choices when events,

1063
01:10:24,410 --> 01:10:27,850
patches and holidays are
involved. So those endeavors are

1064
01:10:27,850 --> 01:10:30,490
going to take place during
those specialized events that are

1065
01:10:30,490 --> 01:10:35,050
going on in the world now.
Rewards and vendors. As the milestones

1066
01:10:35,050 --> 01:10:37,970
are reached, you're going to
get themed vendors that are going

1067
01:10:37,970 --> 01:10:40,760
to begin populating the
neighborhood and then you're going

1068
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,520
to spend the currency. The
currency is called community coupons,

1069
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,400
which is kind of freaking
hilarious. And you can, you'll be

1070
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:53,520
able to buy decorative items
that are themed to whatever endeavor

1071
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,840
you have going on at the time.
The coupons are war bound, so you

1072
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:02,080
can move those also between
your characters and so there's some

1073
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:07,910
caveats here. The tasks can be
group oriented in even give bonus

1074
01:11:07,910 --> 01:11:12,070
progress, but there's really
no built in way to do this other

1075
01:11:12,070 --> 01:11:15,310
than just grouping up. So
there's. There's a little bit of

1076
01:11:15,310 --> 01:11:20,510
a disconnect there. I would
say most players are. Are doing them

1077
01:11:20,510 --> 01:11:24,950
alone by themselves. I will
say that if you go do the rares on

1078
01:11:24,950 --> 01:11:30,550
Mechagon it is. They're way
more difficult. You're not one shotting

1079
01:11:30,550 --> 01:11:34,790
rares right now. And I don't
know if that's part of the stat squish

1080
01:11:34,790 --> 01:11:41,470
or not or if that is by
design. But I was. I mean I'm a healer,

1081
01:11:41,470 --> 01:11:45,910
right? So I don't have a ton
of dps and I was still able to kill

1082
01:11:45,910 --> 01:11:49,430
them, but they were taking
chunks out of me. So I was having

1083
01:11:49,430 --> 01:11:54,750
to actively heal myself, which
is not the way it has been in the

1084
01:11:54,750 --> 01:11:57,630
past because I've spent a lot
of time on Mechagon island and I'm

1085
01:11:57,630 --> 01:12:00,570
escaping essentially one
shotting those bosses normally. So

1086
01:12:00,570 --> 01:12:05,090
it's a little different right
now. Just keep that in mind. So some

1087
01:12:05,090 --> 01:12:07,810
players are reporting that
some of the tasks are things that

1088
01:12:07,810 --> 01:12:12,090
you would already do anyway
and they're feeling like it's a little

1089
01:12:12,090 --> 01:12:17,450
bit less unique. And I don't
feel that way, to be honest with

1090
01:12:17,450 --> 01:12:17,690
you.

1091
01:12:17,690 --> 01:12:21,730
I don't feel that way at all.
Because if you think about it, housing

1092
01:12:21,730 --> 01:12:25,500
isn't necessarily going to be
for everybody. So for people who

1093
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:28,140
are part of the neighborhood
though, you know, like, and even

1094
01:12:28,140 --> 01:12:31,620
though they may not do housing
very much and this relates totally

1095
01:12:31,620 --> 01:12:35,380
to our group, I'm thinking of
one of our friends right now that

1096
01:12:35,380 --> 01:12:38,900
is super into Mythics right
now, but they're not really into

1097
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:40,940
housing. However, they are
part of the neighborhood. They were

1098
01:12:40,940 --> 01:12:42,540
excited to be a part of the
neighborhood. They have a home. They

1099
01:12:42,540 --> 01:12:45,140
don't really do much with it,
but they have a home, however.

1100
01:12:45,300 --> 01:12:49,020
Well, our death better do is
freaking due diligence. Start cleaning

1101
01:12:49,020 --> 01:12:52,500
up some oil spots. Otherwise
we're gonna double association fee.

1102
01:12:52,500 --> 01:12:56,500
That's right. They're tripling
your fees, boy. But so the fact that

1103
01:12:56,500 --> 01:13:00,220
you know what he's doing is
going to help. It's. It's passively

1104
01:13:00,220 --> 01:13:03,980
helping the neighborhood. I
love that I. I understand why they

1105
01:13:03,980 --> 01:13:06,660
say that because it's kind of
reminiscent of the Trading Post in

1106
01:13:06,660 --> 01:13:11,820
a way. However, there. It's
not just all those things, right?

1107
01:13:11,820 --> 01:13:15,220
It's not just, you know,
mythics or like I know on 5000 honor

1108
01:13:15,220 --> 01:13:20,190
was another one and then I
think Raid Bosses was and you know,

1109
01:13:20,190 --> 01:13:23,510
you mentioned rares and stuff,
but there are incredibly unique ones.

1110
01:13:23,510 --> 01:13:27,350
Like, and I purposely chose
mechagnomes. The mechagnomes. Because

1111
01:13:27,830 --> 01:13:30,430
when we saw that in the art,
like, leading up to it, I'm like,

1112
01:13:30,430 --> 01:13:33,590
that just looks like crazy
fun, you know? And so when the mechagnomes

1113
01:13:33,590 --> 01:13:35,830
came over, not only do you
have access to all the mechagnome

1114
01:13:35,830 --> 01:13:39,830
decor, like, all kinds of cool
stuff, but the whole neighborhood

1115
01:13:39,830 --> 01:13:45,440
takes on that. That theme.
Right. So now I am like, did you

1116
01:13:45,440 --> 01:13:48,840
do the. The challenge where
you. It's like three compressors,

1117
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,760
like, air compressors that
shoot you up in the air, and you

1118
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:54,440
do it. You do three in a row
without touching the ground?

1119
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:56,360
I haven't done that one yet.

1120
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,000
Oh, that's a trip I got a spot
for. I could show it to you, but

1121
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,480
I don't want to ruin it for
you. But, dude, it's so much fun

1122
01:14:02,480 --> 01:14:05,000
because now you've got all
this random. There's mechanomes everywhere.

1123
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,240
There's, like, rocket chickens
all around the neighborhood. Like,

1124
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,220
it's a trip, man. You know?

1125
01:14:10,300 --> 01:14:13,460
Yep. Yep. The one. There's a.
One little thing that I've done where

1126
01:14:13,460 --> 01:14:16,740
you have to go and recover
the. The mechanical chickens that

1127
01:14:16,740 --> 01:14:17,980
got loose from the pen.

1128
01:14:17,980 --> 01:14:18,460
Yeah.

1129
01:14:18,460 --> 01:14:20,820
And. And you pick them up, and
you can pick up three at a time,

1130
01:14:20,820 --> 01:14:23,100
and there's one sitting on
each of your shoulders and one on

1131
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:26,740
top of your head as you run
back. So the town's grow. It's freaking

1132
01:14:26,740 --> 01:14:27,420
hilarious.

1133
01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:27,980
Yeah.

1134
01:14:28,540 --> 01:14:32,580
So. So I dig it. One of the
things that I really like about it

1135
01:14:32,580 --> 01:14:35,590
is that you can shop in other
neighborhoods so you can get your

1136
01:14:35,590 --> 01:14:39,270
community coupons, and you can
go to somebody else's neighborhood

1137
01:14:39,270 --> 01:14:42,110
to spend them. So if you're
not into, you know, the mechanical

1138
01:14:42,110 --> 01:14:46,470
look and stuff, you can go to
another one. You can go to. You take

1139
01:14:46,470 --> 01:14:49,630
Candle, which is the cobalt
one, right?

1140
01:14:49,710 --> 01:14:50,190
Yeah.

1141
01:14:50,430 --> 01:14:54,910
And you can get stuff from the
ringing deeps if you want, which

1142
01:14:54,910 --> 01:14:57,390
I like. I like that a lot. I
do want to go through some of these

1143
01:14:57,390 --> 01:15:01,400
things, and I'll. I will
ratchet through these pretty quick.

1144
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,080
But there's a bunch of
different themes that can come to

1145
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:10,760
your neighborhood with
endeavors. One is the Sporagar. Another

1146
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:14,240
one's called Deeper Home, and
that's the. Your earth and neighbors

1147
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,719
want to befriend roaming
elementals, and there's all kind

1148
01:15:16,719 --> 01:15:19,920
of problems going on. There's
Ute Candle. That one's going to be

1149
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:24,600
fun. There's Friends of the
Grummies. There's Home sweet Home,

1150
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:30,180
which Looks like it's a deeper
home intent there. There's artistic

1151
01:15:30,180 --> 01:15:34,620
aid, which is a blood elf. A
blood elf art commune that's sheltering

1152
01:15:34,620 --> 01:15:37,700
in the neighborhood. There's
reaching beyond the possible, which

1153
01:15:37,700 --> 01:15:42,140
is the drac ther rediscovering
themselves to bring a passion for

1154
01:15:42,140 --> 01:15:46,700
learning and new trade skills.
There's modern mechanization, which

1155
01:15:46,700 --> 01:15:49,780
is mechanomes. That's what we
have going on right now. There's

1156
01:15:49,780 --> 01:15:53,500
the consortium Consternation,
which is a mysterious consortium

1157
01:15:53,500 --> 01:15:57,110
in the name neighborhood,
helping locals recover lost items

1158
01:15:57,110 --> 01:16:01,190
in void storage. And then the
last one that I have here is smell

1159
01:16:01,190 --> 01:16:04,430
sensation, which is the
freaking niffin. The ones with the.

1160
01:16:04,910 --> 01:16:09,110
The northern accents. Oh, my
God, I love the niffin. They are

1161
01:16:09,110 --> 01:16:10,310
so ye.

1162
01:16:10,310 --> 01:16:10,590
There.

1163
01:16:15,870 --> 01:16:17,550
God, they're so funny.

1164
01:16:17,550 --> 01:16:21,570
I love them. I think I went
to. To a public neighborhood that

1165
01:16:21,570 --> 01:16:25,090
had the grummies in it. I
think it was the grummies. And they

1166
01:16:25,090 --> 01:16:29,770
have coffee themed items for
decor, like bags of coffee, like

1167
01:16:29,770 --> 01:16:34,490
literal bags that you can buy.
There is two different steaming mugs

1168
01:16:34,490 --> 01:16:37,850
of coffee that you can buy.
Not to mention other stuff as well.

1169
01:16:37,850 --> 01:16:42,810
It's just like, this is. This
is so well done. It continues to

1170
01:16:42,810 --> 01:16:45,620
be a home run, you know?

1171
01:16:45,620 --> 01:16:46,140
Yeah.

1172
01:16:46,140 --> 01:16:50,740
And like, I love the tick.
The. The. Would you say coupons?

1173
01:16:51,140 --> 01:16:52,260
Coupons, right? Yeah.

1174
01:16:52,260 --> 01:16:53,180
Community coupons.

1175
01:16:53,180 --> 01:16:57,300
Community coupons. Yeah. I
love that system. I love it. Two

1176
01:16:57,300 --> 01:17:00,460
pieces. It's fun to go and do
those things. Like, I spent. No one

1177
01:17:00,460 --> 01:17:03,460
was on at the time. I spent
probably the better part of 20 minutes

1178
01:17:03,460 --> 01:17:06,260
just by myself in the
neighborhood, just going through

1179
01:17:06,260 --> 01:17:09,700
doing challenges and whatnot.
And as more people got online, more

1180
01:17:09,700 --> 01:17:13,750
and more fun, you know? Like,
I love it, dude. I was out on the

1181
01:17:13,750 --> 01:17:16,110
beach. Did you do this one
with the mega?

1182
01:17:16,110 --> 01:17:20,230
I was just about. Just about
to before I had to log off and get

1183
01:17:20,230 --> 01:17:20,870
ready for the show.

1184
01:17:20,870 --> 01:17:23,750
Oh, I don't want to spoil it
for you then, but you're gonna like

1185
01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:25,910
that one. And so everyone
who's listening, they haven't done

1186
01:17:25,910 --> 01:17:28,750
it yet. There's something
happens on the beach, but.

1187
01:17:29,070 --> 01:17:32,750
I found it very homey, dude.
Yeah. I found it very chill.

1188
01:17:32,990 --> 01:17:33,470
Yes.

1189
01:17:33,470 --> 01:17:36,430
And just, you know, listening
to the music, just running around,

1190
01:17:36,590 --> 01:17:40,820
watching, you know, it's you.
You know how you get those little

1191
01:17:40,820 --> 01:17:44,460
hits of dopamine every time?
Like you. You clean up an oil. An

1192
01:17:44,460 --> 01:17:49,780
oil slick, or you. You fix a
pothole in the cobblestone.

1193
01:17:49,780 --> 01:17:50,300
Yeah.

1194
01:17:50,380 --> 01:17:54,420
And it says, like, what does
it say? Like, community involvement

1195
01:17:54,420 --> 01:17:56,820
or community outreach or
something like that. It gives you,

1196
01:17:56,820 --> 01:17:58,540
like, a plus every time you do Something.

1197
01:17:58,540 --> 01:18:00,860
I think it's plus neighborhood
or something. It was real random.

1198
01:18:00,860 --> 01:18:02,780
Yeah, yeah. Neighbor, neighborhood.

1199
01:18:03,110 --> 01:18:04,430
Neighborly. That. There you go.

1200
01:18:04,430 --> 01:18:07,550
It's neighborly. You get a
plus neighborly, and every time you

1201
01:18:07,550 --> 01:18:09,790
do something comes up, it's
like a little dopamine hit. Every

1202
01:18:09,790 --> 01:18:12,310
time you're like, oh, yeah,
well, I got another one.

1203
01:18:12,390 --> 01:18:12,870
Yeah.

1204
01:18:13,030 --> 01:18:16,150
You know, and you. You watch
your little bar go up, and it's just.

1205
01:18:17,510 --> 01:18:21,390
Maybe it'll get old. But I'm
telling you, I don't think for me,

1206
01:18:21,390 --> 01:18:24,150
it's gonna. I know for you,
it's not going to. It's just. I really

1207
01:18:24,150 --> 01:18:27,710
like spending time at Founders
Point, and it is so far. I think

1208
01:18:27,710 --> 01:18:31,070
the system is really, really,
really neat, and I. I hope to see

1209
01:18:31,070 --> 01:18:35,110
him expand upon it. As more
races come into the game, as more

1210
01:18:35,190 --> 01:18:38,350
content comes into the game,
as more story lines come into the

1211
01:18:38,350 --> 01:18:42,790
game, they can do. They could
have a. The. I almost said the Dark

1212
01:18:42,790 --> 01:18:46,670
Brotherhood. You have the Dark
Brotherhood coming your town. They

1213
01:18:46,670 --> 01:18:48,550
could have the Dark Moon Fair
come to town.

1214
01:18:48,550 --> 01:18:50,430
Oh, yes, please.

1215
01:18:50,430 --> 01:18:54,880
Dude, how fun would that be to
have Dark Moon Fair themed. Oh, like,

1216
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,560
you know what, bro? Their
caravan breaks down in Founders Point.

1217
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:00,080
There you go.

1218
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:01,720
You got to get them back on
the road.

1219
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:02,640
There you go.

1220
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:04,560
How fun is that?

1221
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:06,560
That's a genius idea. That's perfect.

1222
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,360
Constant genius, genius, genius.

1223
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,200
Oh, folks. Well, we hope you
all are having a wonderful time this

1224
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:18,080
pre patch. We sure are, and we
can't wait to experience today's

1225
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:23,180
event that launched. Oh, the
Twilight Highlands are gonna be so

1226
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:26,660
busy with the Ascension
questline. But anyway, folks, we're

1227
01:19:26,660 --> 01:19:29,300
gonna take a. We're gonna take
a quick commercial break. We'll be

1228
01:19:29,300 --> 01:19:31,580
right back to close out the
show. Be right back.

1229
01:19:34,780 --> 01:19:39,580
All right. All right. I'll
read the patch notes. Allegedly.

1230
01:19:39,740 --> 01:19:42,740
Let's get this over with
before my coffee gets cold and my

1231
01:19:42,740 --> 01:19:47,260
patience evaporates. Ah.
Numbers across the game are being

1232
01:19:47,260 --> 01:19:51,740
reduced to improve clarity and
readability. Yeah, relax. You're

1233
01:19:51,740 --> 01:19:56,220
not weaker. You're not broken.
You're not suddenly doing noob damage.

1234
01:19:56,620 --> 01:19:59,220
The numbers are just smaller
so your screen doesn't look like

1235
01:19:59,220 --> 01:20:03,980
a Goblin's tech spreadsheet
exploded. They're calling this a

1236
01:20:03,980 --> 01:20:09,980
stat and item squish. Heh.
Original again, as always, you hit

1237
01:20:09,980 --> 01:20:12,580
just as hard as you did
before, so stop freaking out like

1238
01:20:12,580 --> 01:20:17,250
your DPS fell into a cataclysm
and never came back. Oh, here's a

1239
01:20:17,250 --> 01:20:21,890
good one. New players can
learn PvP in the training grounds.

1240
01:20:22,290 --> 01:20:25,650
That's right, Training wheels
for anyone who immediately poops

1241
01:20:25,650 --> 01:20:30,370
their pants at the thought of
big boy PvP helmets included. Probably

1242
01:20:30,610 --> 01:20:34,770
emotional support snacks too.
Maybe like orange wedges or some

1243
01:20:34,770 --> 01:20:38,570
shit. Remember, like pony
league with your oversized baseball

1244
01:20:38,570 --> 01:20:45,570
cap. Alright, Cooldown manager
update. They got their own now. No,

1245
01:20:45,570 --> 01:20:50,450
you don't need a pacifier for
your annoying cries. Yeah, weak auras

1246
01:20:50,610 --> 01:20:55,410
is what we call deactivated.
But you'll adapt. You always do.

1247
01:20:55,730 --> 01:21:01,770
You adapted to talent trees
eventually, and now we've got big

1248
01:21:01,770 --> 01:21:05,410
boss warnings because
apparently learning mechanics is

1249
01:21:05,410 --> 01:21:10,620
hard. So the game just yells
at you now. A stupid move. Stop.

1250
01:21:11,340 --> 01:21:17,420
Don't stand in that. Real
cutting edge adventuring. Oh, and

1251
01:21:17,740 --> 01:21:21,580
apparently we're adding more
ducks to some random pond in Northrend.

1252
01:21:22,380 --> 01:21:30,220
Wait, no we're not. But wow,
wouldn't that be quacktastic? Holy

1253
01:21:30,220 --> 01:21:34,710
cow Cola, these notes are too
long. If I read all of this, I'll

1254
01:21:34,710 --> 01:21:38,110
be well past my retirement
date and probably dead in this squeaky

1255
01:21:38,110 --> 01:21:43,710
chair. You know what? Read
this epic saga yourself. I'm bleeding

1256
01:21:43,710 --> 01:21:44,710
into my lunch break.

1257
01:21:57,030 --> 01:22:00,990
All right, welcome back,
everybody. Thank you so much for

1258
01:22:00,990 --> 01:22:04,270
hanging out with us here today
on Azeroth Morning Radio. This was

1259
01:22:04,270 --> 01:22:08,860
episode 18, 1918. We're
officially an adult. Look at us go,

1260
01:22:11,660 --> 01:22:14,300
folks. Thank you so much for
tuning in. If you enjoyed your time

1261
01:22:14,300 --> 01:22:18,540
here, this is where we rely on
you wholeheartedly. It goes without

1262
01:22:18,540 --> 01:22:22,940
saying, we said at the top of
the show, and we mean it. Your dedication,

1263
01:22:22,940 --> 01:22:28,220
your involvement, your desire,
and your passion for AMR speaks volumes

1264
01:22:28,220 --> 01:22:31,680
to us every single week. So
thank you so much for all of you

1265
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:36,600
who like, who subscribed, who
comment, who send us emails. Gosh,

1266
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:40,440
I have never been a part of a
show that has an active email this

1267
01:22:40,440 --> 01:22:46,560
quickly. You guys fill up the
inbox and we just can't thank you

1268
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,880
enough. So if you've enjoyed
this show, please leave us a review.

1269
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,880
Whatever podcast app you're
using, it really helps us out. And

1270
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,450
also sharing or if you're on
YouTube, you know, liking and subscribing

1271
01:22:57,450 --> 01:23:01,450
or commenting. It really does
help us with the algorithm and all

1272
01:23:01,450 --> 01:23:05,810
of that. You know how that
goes. But honestly, what we ask more

1273
01:23:05,810 --> 01:23:08,490
than anything is please share
this show with one friend. If not

1274
01:23:08,490 --> 01:23:11,250
a friend, maybe your discord.
Because truthfully, the only way

1275
01:23:11,250 --> 01:23:15,890
this hearth grows is if you
help us grow it. And we can't thank

1276
01:23:15,890 --> 01:23:17,970
you enough for your continued
listenership. You can always Visit

1277
01:23:17,970 --> 01:23:23,410
us at azerothmorningradio.com
Quick change there, folks. Our transcripts.

1278
01:23:23,410 --> 01:23:25,410
We're going to be moving.
We're not going to be hosting them

1279
01:23:25,410 --> 01:23:30,050
locally there anymore. You can
use YouTube's transcripts or Spotify's

1280
01:23:30,050 --> 01:23:33,850
transcripts. Long story short,
it was causing more and more load

1281
01:23:33,850 --> 01:23:37,410
on our site which was causing
issues, believe it or not. I don't

1282
01:23:37,410 --> 01:23:40,730
know why, but it was. And so
we have identified that to be the

1283
01:23:40,730 --> 01:23:43,930
issue and now we're no longer
having side issues. But unfortunately

1284
01:23:43,930 --> 01:23:46,530
we're not going to host those
episode transcripts locally like

1285
01:23:46,530 --> 01:23:49,940
we love to do. But anyway,
we'll have links there for other

1286
01:23:49,940 --> 01:23:52,420
outlets as well for folks who
need them. You can always learn more

1287
01:23:52,420 --> 01:23:55,540
about us and you can always
get in contact us contact with us

1288
01:23:55,540 --> 01:23:57,260
