Warcraft Pre-Patch!
This week, we officially launch Lore Lessons, our new short, cinematic approach to Warcraft lore—starting at the very beginning with Creation, the Light, and the Void.
We also prep you for the January 20 WoW pre-patch, spotlight hilarious community creators in Heroes Call, break down what’s hot (and not) heading into World of Warcraft: Midnight, and answer listener emails on starting WoW for the first time, returning without burnout, and finding your own fun in Azeroth.
1
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:56,980
And good Tuesday morning
everybody. Welcome. This is Azeroth
2
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:58,220
Morning Radio.
3
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,320
Can I interest you in a new
leg? Well, you want one?
4
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Where the hell did that one
come from?
5
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,280
It's a mechanome. I don't
know, it's one of their. Greetings.
6
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:11,920
I love it.
7
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Yeah, that makes sense.
8
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Folks, it's
episode 15 and we are your hosts.
9
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,440
My name is Jibs. I'm joined by
my better half. He hails as literally
10
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,640
the worst Jacuzzi maker on
this side of Doorknob. His name is
11
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Cash.
12
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,840
No, he's the best one because
I am running that auction house right
13
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240
now with my dwarven Jacuzzi.
14
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,760
I love that. It's awesome.
15
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Yeah, Very excited. Hey,
buddy. Happy New Year.
16
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Yes. You caught me off guard.
Yes. Sorrows mid drink. Happy New
17
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Year. Woo.
18
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Happy New Year to everybody
out there. Yeah, it's a new year.
19
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,840
It's a new you.
20
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,670
That's right. 2995. Five easy payments.
21
00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:57,070
You too can have a life coach.
22
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:00,990
You too can have a Goblin life coach.
23
00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:03,390
Yeah, you can't afford me.
24
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:05,350
Oh, how's it going, buddy?
25
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:08,910
It's going good, man. I have.
I've had one hell of a week in World
26
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:10,750
of Warcraft. Yeah, I gotta
tell you.
27
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:11,550
Go on.
28
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:17,390
Yeah. So I was getting ready
to kind of sew some things up because
29
00:02:17,390 --> 00:02:22,350
pre patch is coming soon and I
figured, you know, I probably should
30
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:27,470
take a look at that War within
Meta achievement and see the things
31
00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:31,310
that I. That I can finish up
because I probably have maybe one
32
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:36,470
or two things to finish up.
Not the case, buddy. Not the case.
33
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:41,230
I had a bunch of stuff to do
and I thought. I thought I'd been
34
00:02:41,230 --> 00:02:46,350
playing enough World of
Warcraft to be close, but man, when
35
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:49,310
you look at that list of
achievements for the meta achievement,
36
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:53,360
it's gnarly. Yeah, tons of
stuff. So I quickly figured, I started
37
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,520
working on it and then I
quickly figured I was gonna be a
38
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,840
long haul to complete. So I
looked at some other things that
39
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,160
I could do in particular, one
of which I wanted to do because of
40
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,200
the title you get for it and
it's such a cool title. And this
41
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,920
particular event is defeating
Kyveza. And I know. You know. You
42
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,000
know what? I know that you
know that. You know that. I know
43
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,640
what I know.
44
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,080
Wait, you both tried to kill
her? Are you nuts? She's psychotic.
45
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,159
Because we tried to do this
together with a group last night.
46
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:34,920
So if you don't know what this
is, this is a delve achievement that
47
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,840
you get for killing Kaiveza
solo or you kill her. You know, she's
48
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,960
just a boss, basically, and
you have to go in there and kill
49
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,920
her. And you can do it either
on a single question mark difficulty
50
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,680
or a double question mark
difficulty. And I guess you can say
51
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,200
as a group, we learned. We
learned how difficult.
52
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Oh, yeah.
53
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,120
It is to kill her on double
question mark. Now, granted, it scales
54
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,680
when you're in a group. So I
think after, I don't know, maybe
55
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:13,220
40 wipes. Maybe 40 wipes.
56
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:15,060
Do you think it was a lot of death?
57
00:04:15,860 --> 00:04:19,460
It was expensive, I'll tell
you that much. Maybe after about
58
00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:22,820
40 wipes or so, we. We kind of
all were like, yeah, I don't think
59
00:04:22,820 --> 00:04:24,340
this is going to happen. But
we started to figure out some of
60
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:27,900
the mechanics. We watched a
video and very difficult to do in
61
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:32,260
a group. But we kind of all
went our separate ways and made significantly
62
00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:37,160
more progress doing it solo.
Once you kind of know the mechanics.
63
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,680
I actually went through and
finished it on the single question
64
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,760
mark last night. I was able to
get that one and I felt significantly
65
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,480
better moving into the double
question mark but did not get to.
66
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,880
To clear it. And the reason
being that I wanted. That we wanted
67
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,160
to do that we started talking
about it was that you get the title
68
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,640
of Contract Killer.
69
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:00,600
Yeah.
70
00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:04,910
Which is such a great. That's
one of the better titles that I've
71
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:05,870
heard in Warcraft.
72
00:05:05,950 --> 00:05:09,670
Yeah. Easily hands down,
without a doubt. I tell you what,
73
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:12,550
if there's. There's a real
part of me that's kind of missing
74
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:16,070
a male. A melee class just a
little bit. I'm feeling it, I'm feeling
75
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:19,470
it. I know it's there. It's
like bubbling under the surface.
76
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:22,350
I'm missing. I'm getting an
itch to play some kind of melee,
77
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:26,070
trying to fight it. Moment I
saw that Contract Killer title and
78
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:32,780
was like, oh, man, that is a
title of titles for a rogue if I've
79
00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:33,540
ever seen one.
80
00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:36,420
It is. It is the ultimate
title for rogue. And it's funny that
81
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,780
you said that because I was
like, you know, I'm gonna concentrate
82
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:42,340
on this until pre patch. Oh, I
think I'm gonna do it because it
83
00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:48,740
goes away in pre patch. But I
have. I've done very difficult achievements
84
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:52,020
like this before. And it's not
that I'm a good player. It's just
85
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:58,960
that I am a creature of
repetition. So if I focus on it and
86
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,080
I do it over and over and over
and over again, eventually I might
87
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,920
get it. But this one's really
hard. Do you remember doing in Elder
88
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Scrolls Online? Maelstrom Arena.
89
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Never forget it.
90
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,480
So challenging. It's a solo
experience and you get really good
91
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,080
drops out of this thing, but
it is incredibly difficult. Very
92
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,030
mechanics heavy. And it took
me weeks to get it and then I was
93
00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:30,030
able to eventually go get it
on. On veteran mode in that game,
94
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:34,030
which was very difficult. But
I see this a lot like that. These
95
00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:34,590
challenges.
96
00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:38,310
Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Nice pull.
Yeah. And you know what? I. Unless
97
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:40,870
there's, you know, I'm. I'm
totally doing this off the cuff.
98
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:43,830
So there may be stuff like
this already in the game. It's stuff
99
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:46,950
like that. Like that Maelstrom
arena, you know, like you talk about,
100
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:49,530
it's like. And for those who
don't know, it's like what Cash said.
101
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:53,610
It's mechanic heavy. Think of
it like quote unquote rounds, rounded
102
00:06:53,770 --> 00:06:57,450
rounds of combat. And each
stage is a different mechanic you're
103
00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:59,530
having to deal with. And
you're kind of going up the ladder.
104
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:04,970
Everything from like circular,
like chainsaws rotating around the
105
00:07:04,970 --> 00:07:07,490
room. It's just like kind of
like raid mechanics. But you're doing
106
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:10,210
it solo. I would love to see
something like that in Warcraft.
107
00:07:10,210 --> 00:07:14,900
I mean, be honest with you,
but I tell you. Yeah. That lady,
108
00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:20,100
you know, like when we. I'm
not. I'm not a huge fan of Bran at
109
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:22,660
this point and mainly because
too much of a good thing is a bad
110
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:26,500
thing. You know what I mean?
And so when we go in there and even
111
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,340
brands, like. And he says,
literally says this, hey, are you
112
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:30,580
sure this is a good idea?
113
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:36,380
Yeah, like this is a bad idea.
Yeah, it is. And you know, like he
114
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:37,540
taunts you when you die.
115
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:38,020
Yeah.
116
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:43,260
Well, I'm okay with that in
Delves because I don't die in Delves
117
00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:49,860
very much. But this one is
like every 45 seconds he's telling
118
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,180
you about how you need a
better strategy. And I'm like, dude,
119
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:58,620
I am about to backhand a bee
if you say that one more time. The
120
00:07:58,620 --> 00:07:59,460
other thing he was doing was.
121
00:07:59,460 --> 00:08:02,860
He was all bugged out so, like
we wouldn't even be in there to initiate
122
00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:06,780
the start of this. This fight.
And he just takes off.
123
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:07,750
Yeah.
124
00:08:07,750 --> 00:08:11,390
And beelines in there for
whatever reason and does it.
125
00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:12,990
Yeah. Who knew he was a demon hunter?
126
00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:18,750
Yeah, right. Oh, gosh, that
should be the name of the episode.
127
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:22,230
Brain the Demon Hunter. Oh my
gosh. Yeah, I tell you. But yeah,
128
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:28,070
that was crazy. That was fun.
And that is, man, I saw. It's funny
129
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:32,110
you bring this up because this
morning before I started my day long
130
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:35,760
adventure in my Warcraft
duties, there was a guy just standing
131
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,320
right there and I'm pretty
sure was a rogue contract killer.
132
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,600
I'm just like, oh, oh, cool.
133
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,920
Yeah. So anyway, folks, if you
see that title around town, that
134
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,360
is mad respect for the person
that is rocking that title because
135
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:59,320
she is not easy to kill on
double question marks. And just go
136
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,480
in there and just try it for
the laugh. Even if you don't want
137
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,450
to get the achievement. Try it
for the laugh because as soon as
138
00:09:05,450 --> 00:09:09,610
you aggro her, as you start
learning the mechanics, you will
139
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:14,570
be dead in about two seconds
flat. Everything she does, if she
140
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:15,810
hits you is a one shot.
141
00:09:15,810 --> 00:09:18,090
It's one of those things where
it's like, I almost feel like if
142
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:22,090
I was 20 years younger, way
more twitchy, you know, way more
143
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:25,570
like fpsy than I like I used
to be back in the day. I feel like
144
00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:29,530
I may have a good chance, a
really good chance. But I tell you
145
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:33,990
what, dude, you're having to
mate make split second decisions
146
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:35,870
and I'm like, this is not
casual friendly.
147
00:09:36,190 --> 00:09:38,790
Like, yeah, oh, it's
definitely not casual friendly.
148
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:40,750
Oh my gosh. No, it's crazy.
149
00:09:41,470 --> 00:09:46,070
Yeah, you have to snort a line
of coke and smoke some meth and then
150
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:50,150
go do it. Don't do those
things. Don't do those things. This
151
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:52,710
is a family show and those
things are bad. Okay?
152
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:54,430
AMR does not condone drug use.
153
00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:57,110
What have you been up to, buddy?
154
00:09:57,420 --> 00:10:01,340
That's been a busy week. I
finished Blood Ties from Christy
155
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:03,860
Golden. I finished the book
last night. I couldn't put it down.
156
00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:07,820
I'm like, I need to. I need to
finish this. Oh, man. I'm not gonna
157
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:11,020
give any spoilers, but well
done, Christy. Well done. You did.
158
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:14,340
You crushed it. You crushed it
in my heart. It was good. It was
159
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:20,380
good. And then let's see what
else? Oh, I made around 300k ish
160
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:23,760
in gold this week. It was
either 2 to 300k in gold. It was
161
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,680
a lot. It was a lot of gold.
The markets kind of recovered and
162
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,000
then.
163
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,520
That's dirty, buddy. That is
dirty money right there.
164
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200
Yeah, it was pretty
profitable. But like, as. As everything
165
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,560
was going well, people just
gutted the market just because they
166
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,480
keep putting things under, you
know, like it spoiler, folks, you
167
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,360
don't have to Adjust the coin
literally at all. Like you literally
168
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600
just put it up and it'll put
you at the lead and then everyone
169
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,850
walks away with more money.
You know what I mean? Like, everyone's
170
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:53,930
going to make more, but people
just keep gutting it. And it became
171
00:10:53,930 --> 00:10:56,370
to a. It got. It's gotten to a
point where it's just not recoverable
172
00:10:56,370 --> 00:11:01,490
at this point. And so I'm. I'm
earning every bit of 3 to 4,000 less
173
00:11:01,490 --> 00:11:05,250
on a single item now. But
anyway, I did that. Oh, and then
174
00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:09,090
today I got a burr up my butt
and made a add on in World of Warcraft
175
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:12,690
that's as of right now,
pending on Curse Forge.
176
00:11:13,330 --> 00:11:17,980
Oh, okay. That you might have
led with that.
177
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:25,500
Let me, let me rephrase that.
Me and Chat GPT spent the eight solid
178
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,900
hours together
troubleshooting, designing, and working
179
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:33,620
through an add on that is.
That is pending right now, as of
180
00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:34,060
right now.
181
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:39,940
So. Okay, again, we're gonna
leave it there or you're gonna. What
182
00:11:39,940 --> 00:11:40,460
is it?
183
00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:46,920
All right, so it's funny that
Cash brings up Eso because that was
184
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
kind of our bread and butter
for many years before many other
185
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,000
things. And there's a feature
in that game that allows you to lock
186
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,360
an armor piece so you don't
accidentally sell it, you don't actually
187
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760
vendor it. You know, you don't
miss click, whatever. And I've always
188
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800
wanted something like that.
And today I was just sitting there,
189
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,240
I'm like, you know what? I've
heard of people designing, like using
190
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,800
CO AI for coding before. I'm
like, screw it, let's go do it. Let's
191
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,720
just go see what happened.
8:30 in the morning. Okay. It's 8:30
192
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,000
in the morning and it finished
till 3:45 in the afternoon. But anyway,
193
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,120
so. So I started and it is
called set lock. It's all one word.
194
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,360
And essentially what it does
is if you have any, if you have any
195
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,440
items set up in your equipment
manager as a set. So I always run.
196
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,070
I have a PvE set for when I'm
PvEing and if I'm PvPing, I have
197
00:12:38,070 --> 00:12:40,910
a PvP set. So both of those
things are always like one of those
198
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:44,310
items. Sets of items are just
sitting in my bags. Right. And you
199
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:46,870
always have to be cognizant
of, oh, I don't want to delete this
200
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:51,710
or that sort of thing. Right.
Well, what my add on does. This is
201
00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:55,710
crazy. I'm even saying that
out loud is it will gray out those
202
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:59,470
items that are part of an
equipment set that you've made in
203
00:12:59,470 --> 00:13:04,070
your inventory. So you can no
longer, if you are in a vendor, if
204
00:13:04,070 --> 00:13:07,790
you mouse over that item, it
will not even let you sell it. It
205
00:13:07,790 --> 00:13:12,790
holds it there and so it
basically protects you from selling
206
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:16,390
your items and you no longer
have to worry literally ever about
207
00:13:16,390 --> 00:13:20,230
it. It's like a set it and
forget it legitimately. Now, there
208
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:24,470
are a few issues. Like when
you come out of an instance, I found
209
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:28,830
your items will not be grayed
out for you. So it's like you have
210
00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:31,390
to swap your set back and
forth. So that's obviously something
211
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:35,160
I have to get updated. And
then there's a few other things.
212
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,640
I. I took off the mini map
button because it was proving too
213
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,960
difficult to get the image and
the icon correct. So you literally
214
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360
just type slash set lock and
it enables it and that's honestly
215
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,360
all you need. And oh, the
other thing is that if it's in, if
216
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,000
however, it locks your items
in your inventory, like that's where
217
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,360
they're locked forever. Unless
you like turn the add on. So unless
218
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,170
you turn it off, like de.
Enable it or turn it up, whatever
219
00:14:01,170 --> 00:14:04,930
the right term is. So slash
set, lock and then turns. It turns
220
00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:07,250
itself off and then you can
move those great items around, but
221
00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:10,610
it legitimately will lock
those in your inventory, so you no
222
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:13,730
longer have to worry about
stuff. Which is great. It takes a
223
00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:17,130
load off my shoulders because
I'm always scared, always nervous.
224
00:14:17,450 --> 00:14:21,170
Yes, it lists on the tooltip,
like equipment set, you know, and
225
00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:24,130
then whatever you have it
listed as. But I've always felt like
226
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:26,940
that should be. That's
something that Eso did that I would
227
00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:29,780
love to see Warcraft do
because it makes sense in a big,
228
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:33,580
big way. And honestly have
equipment bags that are just your.
229
00:14:33,580 --> 00:14:36,260
Your sets or within bags
themselves that are not a part of
230
00:14:36,260 --> 00:14:38,620
your main inventory. I would
love to see them add that. But anyway,
231
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:40,380
this is kind of like a band
aid on that problem and.
232
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:45,620
It works so very interesting.
And this is, this is live and new
233
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:50,820
news to me friends, because
I've had a very busy few days at
234
00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:54,180
work and have not been able to
really talk to dibs very much so.
235
00:14:54,620 --> 00:14:58,500
Had no idea this was happening
other than just a quick mention of
236
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:01,220
it and I was like, oh, cool,
you're trying to figure out add ons.
237
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:01,580
Neat.
238
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:05,980
And then blamo. Yeah, it's
there, it's on Curse Forge.
239
00:15:05,980 --> 00:15:09,620
Yeah, hopefully they approve
it. Yeah, I'm just kind of waiting
240
00:15:09,620 --> 00:15:14,260
at this point. But again, it
is set lock all one word. So give
241
00:15:14,260 --> 00:15:17,780
it a try. Of course I'm
looking for Feedback. I'm not a coder.
242
00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:20,660
I'm trying to learn like this
as long as I troubleshoot because
243
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:24,450
I, you know, in editing code
and stuff. But yeah, hopefully it
244
00:15:24,450 --> 00:15:27,890
helps a lot of people. But
anyway, well done, bud. Thank you.
245
00:15:28,050 --> 00:15:30,730
Thank you. Well, this week on
the show, folks, we have a hero's
246
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:34,650
call that returns with
hilarious new content creators we
247
00:15:34,650 --> 00:15:39,090
think you might enjoy.
Introduce you to our brand spanking
248
00:15:39,090 --> 00:15:43,970
new AMR for 2026, which
includes lore lessons that's starting
249
00:15:43,970 --> 00:15:48,530
up today. We prep you for the
January 20th pre patch in AMR style
250
00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:54,660
and we help guide you in WoW
with your emails and so much more.
251
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:59,100
But before we get to the
commercial break, folks, we need
252
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,140
to have a sit down because
there's something you need to know
253
00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:04,460
about. So we talked about Lore
lessons, right? Well, before we get
254
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:07,460
rolling, we want to take a
quick second to introduce something
255
00:16:07,460 --> 00:16:10,580
that's new that we're really
excited about here, which we've already
256
00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:14,460
said and that is Lore lessons.
And before anyone panics, no, this
257
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:17,460
is not turning into a Lore
show. No, it's not turning into a
258
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:20,420
seven hour Lore lecture
podcast at all.
259
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:24,900
Friends, I think the message
that we were trying to deliver during
260
00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:30,980
our late watch show last week
was that we are storytellers at heart
261
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:36,860
and we really have always been
there in loving to bring the story
262
00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:41,940
of your game to you. So
whether it's news characters or strange
263
00:16:42,020 --> 00:16:47,840
goblin things, we absolutely
love the stories of Warcraft. But
264
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,520
we also know that there's
something that is very, very important
265
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,720
that we've learned through
trial and error over the years. A
266
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,400
lot of people are either not
interested or do not have time for
267
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,200
deep dives or multi hour lore
breakdowns. So we're not going to
268
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,480
do that to you. So the way
that we've designed our Lore lessons
269
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:15,770
is they are short, focused and
tell a story in a cinematic way that
270
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:20,810
hopefully brings the story to
life for you. We are calling that
271
00:17:20,810 --> 00:17:26,010
Drive by Lore. We're giving
you the good stuff without the homework.
272
00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:29,970
So the way we're going to do
it is we're going to start this at
273
00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:33,450
the very beginning of the
Warcraft timeline. We're not starting
274
00:17:33,610 --> 00:17:38,620
at expansions, we're not
starting with factions. We are starting
275
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:44,580
at Creation, the Light, the
Void, and the stuff that everything
276
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:47,140
in Azeroth is built upon.
277
00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:50,100
Yeah. So each episode is going
to be designed like Kesh said, I
278
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,460
mean, easy to follow. Even if
lore isn't your thing. You don't
279
00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:56,060
need to know names, you don't
need a wiki open so you can Just
280
00:17:56,060 --> 00:17:59,700
literally sit back and relax
and enjoy yourself. But most importantly,
281
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:03,780
we're making these because we
genuinely love doing it. And this
282
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:07,570
is the kind of thing we want
to hear your comments on, you know,
283
00:18:07,570 --> 00:18:08,970
like, while you're making coffee.
284
00:18:09,050 --> 00:18:11,810
So it doesn't matter if you're
a Lore nerd. It doesn't matter if
285
00:18:11,810 --> 00:18:16,010
you're just somebody who wants
to understand why Azeroth is the
286
00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:21,970
way it is. Here we go. We hope
you enjoy this as much as we've enjoyed
287
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:28,250
creating it. So, as every good
teacher says. All right, class, let's
288
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:28,650
begin.
289
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Welcome, traveler. Every tale
has a beginning. But ours begins
290
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,440
before beginnings were even
possible. Before stars, before worlds,
291
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:53,880
before the idea of life could
take shape. There were only two forces.
292
00:18:54,680 --> 00:19:00,240
The light, a radiant expanse
of warmth and purpose, endlessly
293
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,240
stretching, endlessly
building. It was creation in its
294
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:14,080
purest form. Order without
restraint. And opposing it. The void,
295
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Cold, hungry, infinite in its
own way. A realm of shadow that whispered
296
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,100
possibilities and devoured
certainty. Where the light sought
297
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:36,900
to define, the void sought to
unravel. These forces did not simply
298
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:43,020
clash. They danced. Their
collisions birthed the first sparks
299
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:47,900
of reality. Pockets were
neither light nor void, fully dominated.
300
00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:53,590
And in these rare forms,
fragile spaces, the great dark beyond
301
00:19:54,230 --> 00:20:04,230
took shape. Within this vast
new expanse, storms of matter swirled.
302
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:10,310
Worlds formed and shattered.
Magic pooled into rivers of raw possibility.
303
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:17,200
And somewhere amid the chaos,
something unexpected began to stir.
304
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:24,400
World Souls unborn, Titans
slumbering within the hearts of planets,
305
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,040
absorbing the energies of
creation. Each one a cosmic giant,
306
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:38,080
waiting to awaken beings
destined to shape existence itself.
307
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:47,680
Most slept for eons, but
eventually one opened his eyes. A
308
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:54,320
presence, vast and aware. A
Titan rising from his cradle of stone
309
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,360
and starlight, gazing into the
endless dark and realizing he was
310
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:09,080
utterly, profoundly alone.
This was Aman', Thul, the first to
311
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,280
awaken, the one who would
serve. Search the cosmos for others
312
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,640
like him, and in doing so,
give birth to the Titan pantheon.
313
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,520
But that traveler is a story
of its own. On our next lore lesson,
314
00:20:34,110 --> 00:21:12,397
we leave. The sweeping canvas
of creation and focus on the Titan
315
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:23,512
who stood at its center, the
High Father himself.
316
00:21:40,690 --> 00:21:45,090
All right, welcome back,
everybody. Hope you enjoyed that
317
00:21:45,090 --> 00:21:48,850
first lore lesson. That was
fun. Did a good job on that.
318
00:21:49,410 --> 00:21:54,210
You wait with bated breath to
see if people liked it or not.
319
00:21:54,210 --> 00:21:59,650
We'll find out. Four days. Oh,
gosh. Well, folks, let's get started
320
00:21:59,650 --> 00:22:01,250
with the hero's call.
321
00:22:03,650 --> 00:22:08,350
Heroes call. Exciting week in
Azeroth, friends. And part of the
322
00:22:08,350 --> 00:22:13,030
reason why is because Kash has
found his very favorite New World
323
00:22:13,030 --> 00:22:18,670
of Warcraft parody channel on
pretty much Everything that's out
324
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:23,270
there. I have found this
creator on pretty much everything.
325
00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:31,760
YouTube, Instagram, Facebook,
X. The name of this genius of a content
326
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,680
creator is Baron's Boys. And
if you have not found Baron's Boys,
327
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:43,120
do yourself a freaking favor.
He is hilarious with what he is building.
328
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,960
So it's described. Baron Boys
is described as too hard. One camera
329
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,960
in Azeroth and a Warcraft fan
comedy. Jibs is already laughing
330
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,080
because these are amazing, you
guys. So the whole premise of this
331
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:04,400
thing is a troll rogue. Not a
very good troll rogue and not very.
332
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:11,360
Not much bravado in this
rogue, but my gosh, you experience
333
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,360
this troll rogue's exploits in
Azeroth with his buddies. One of
334
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,080
them is an undead warlock
named Dennis. And there's an orc.
335
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,090
It looks like an orc warrior
named Frank. Absolutely hilarious.
336
00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:30,890
It's fully AI created, live
action. So it looks super crisp.
337
00:23:30,890 --> 00:23:37,210
It look, it's very, very well
done. But they're live action reels
338
00:23:37,210 --> 00:23:40,290
and they're like I was talking
about, they're on, you know, just
339
00:23:40,290 --> 00:23:44,650
about every social media
outlet there is, but insanely funny,
340
00:23:44,650 --> 00:23:49,420
very creative. I think that
what, what I notice right off the
341
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:51,620
bat and what I think Warcraft
players are going to notice right
342
00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:55,700
off the bat, instant
recognition of the humor. Small little
343
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:59,700
Easter eggs in there. Things
that only a Warcraft player would
344
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:05,180
recognize and appreciate. The
Jamaican accent on the troll Rogue
345
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:13,060
is so on point and I say this
because I have for almost my entire
346
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:20,300
life been a massive reggae
fan. So I've heard Rastafarians speak
347
00:24:20,540 --> 00:24:24,580
like right in front of me when
I would go to shows, still go to
348
00:24:24,580 --> 00:24:30,780
shows with buddies. And my
gosh, it is absolutely uncanny this.
349
00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:36,860
The Jamaican accent and just
the verbiage that is used is so troll
350
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:40,860
and it's so Jamaican. It's
just fantastic. If you watch World
351
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:43,910
of Warcraft content out there,
I'm sure you have seen many, many
352
00:24:43,910 --> 00:24:47,950
memes and many channels out
there that are super slapstick when
353
00:24:47,950 --> 00:24:53,510
it comes to Warcraft, but I'm
telling you, this one is a 100% must
354
00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:57,790
watch some of the things that
really drove me to becoming a true
355
00:24:57,790 --> 00:25:00,910
fan of this guy. He will
answer all of his comments to his
356
00:25:00,910 --> 00:25:06,350
videos with Rastafarian tone
and accent. You can read it in what
357
00:25:06,350 --> 00:25:12,340
he's writing and it is just so
damn good. Baron's Boys, I don't
358
00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:15,340
know if it's just one of you,
I don't know if it's a team of you
359
00:25:15,340 --> 00:25:21,220
that is doing this, but
insanely ingenious. And I absolutely
360
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:25,500
Love it. You cannot appreciate
it until you look this up. It's fantastic.
361
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:29,980
Please keep it going because
it brings a smile to my face every
362
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:35,620
time a new video comes up. You
can see all their stuff and you can
363
00:25:35,620 --> 00:25:38,840
even throw them a tip at their
website, in their. At their link
364
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,680
tree, at any one of these
social media outlets. You can. You
365
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,960
can see that. And I. There's
also a Discord community from what
366
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,400
I understand. So I know we're
going to reach out. It's just fantastic.
367
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,360
I wanted to make sure that you
guys knew this 100% heroes call board
368
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:57,600
stuff because this is a
community creation that is just so
369
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,240
dang good.
370
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,000
Yeah. They have 14,000
subscribers already. Their most recent
371
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,160
reel is 31,000 views. It's so funny.
372
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,450
He's blowing up and he knows
what he's got. Like he has comedic
373
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:15,810
gold. So please, if we can, if
we can have our folks. I want this
374
00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:19,770
guy to blow up because he
needs to. He's doing such great work.
375
00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:21,450
I love it. That's awesome.
376
00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:21,890
Yeah.
377
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:25,289
Yeah. I can't wait to see
stuff like that. Can't wait indeed.
378
00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:28,890
See. See more stuff like that.
So I should say, because it's hilarious,
379
00:26:29,690 --> 00:26:30,370
it's very good.
380
00:26:30,370 --> 00:26:34,290
Okay, second thing for Heroes.
Heroes Call Board Jibs pointed a
381
00:26:34,290 --> 00:26:38,410
video out to me this week and
I watched it and absolutely fell
382
00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:42,130
in love with it because it was
super, super funny. Another. Another
383
00:26:42,290 --> 00:26:47,330
hilarious content creator out
there. So this one is a video on
384
00:26:47,330 --> 00:26:52,690
YouTube entitled the Most
Popular Faction Race Class and Specs
385
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:57,170
Going Into Midnight. And it's
created by Steven Herro. I'm pretty
386
00:26:57,170 --> 00:27:00,290
sure it's Steven Hero. If it's
Stefan Hero, then I apologize, but
387
00:27:00,290 --> 00:27:07,910
it's S T E P H E N Hero. Now,
in short, this was a ton of research
388
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:12,310
done to find out what's hot
and what's not in retail World of
389
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:18,950
Warcraft. So a ton of sources
were used here by Stephen and those
390
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:23,430
included Warcraft logs, MMO
populations, WoW, Meta Raider IO
391
00:27:23,910 --> 00:27:27,110
and a whole bunch of other
analysis from Wowhead and Reddit.
392
00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:31,790
He also used Raid logs, Mythic
participation, achievement tracking,
393
00:27:31,790 --> 00:27:35,780
character creation, stat
stats, etc. Sounds like a massive
394
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:40,020
project because Blizzard holds
a lot of these numbers close to their
395
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:44,740
chest. But there's. There's
an. You people have the ability to
396
00:27:44,740 --> 00:27:47,140
go out and get some of this
information and this gentleman did.
397
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:51,660
So it really makes it a lot of
fun. So we're going to go through
398
00:27:51,660 --> 00:27:55,140
some stats here that I loved.
He does it in a super comedic way,
399
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:58,620
which again, if you're a World
of Warcraft player, And you have
400
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:02,250
been for some time. You'll get
a lot of his humor with this stuff.
401
00:28:03,210 --> 00:28:09,370
So, top factions now, where
historically it has been the Horde
402
00:28:09,370 --> 00:28:13,890
dominating player populations.
The overall stats in competitive
403
00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:19,450
PvP and PvE suggest that the
alliance is on the rise.
404
00:28:19,450 --> 00:28:20,170
Jibs.
405
00:28:20,250 --> 00:28:24,890
No kidding, dude. We have
percentages. Do they give U.S. percentages?
406
00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:29,060
57% alliance, 43% horde.
407
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:32,340
What? You know why that is?
I'll tell you why that is. This is.
408
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:35,220
This is me being Jada for a
minute. Because, yeah, it's always
409
00:28:35,220 --> 00:28:38,620
been Horde. I bet you it's
because Shadow Meld's racial has
410
00:28:38,620 --> 00:28:42,340
been grown so popular over the
PvP crowd the last probably what,
411
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:43,220
like two years now?
412
00:28:43,780 --> 00:28:48,180
Yeah, it has. I'm not gonna.
You can't deny it. That Shadow Meld
413
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:49,820
is freaking priceless.
414
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:50,340
Amazing.
415
00:28:50,340 --> 00:28:53,690
And yeah, it's. It's amazing.
So if you don't know what Shadow
416
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:57,330
Meld is. Friends. It is a
Night Elf ability that basically
417
00:28:57,330 --> 00:29:01,290
allows you to go into stealth
even when you're in combat and drop
418
00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:06,730
threat. Like, it's. It's
pretty. I don't want to say overpowered.
419
00:29:07,610 --> 00:29:11,570
It's amazing. So. And that's
probably why there's so many Night
420
00:29:11,570 --> 00:29:13,290
Elves that are out there as well.
421
00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:14,130
Honestly, it's cool.
422
00:29:14,130 --> 00:29:17,670
But then like, if you move,
you lose it. But it's still. It's
423
00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:18,950
an excellent racial.
424
00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:21,550
Yeah. Yeah, I think it's
awesome. To be honest with you. I
425
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:24,190
love cool racials on any of
the races and so, yeah, I wouldn't
426
00:29:24,190 --> 00:29:26,390
be shocked if that's part of
the reason why.
427
00:29:26,790 --> 00:29:33,670
Okay, more stats. What do you
think the most played race in 2025
428
00:29:33,670 --> 00:29:33,990
was?
429
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:34,710
Night Elf.
430
00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:41,590
Good guess, but wrong. Believe
it or not, contrary to our last stat,
431
00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:42,390
Blood Elves.
432
00:29:43,170 --> 00:29:43,410
Really?
433
00:29:44,290 --> 00:29:49,010
Yes. Blood Elves are the
hottest player race out there. It's
434
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:50,290
probably because they're so
damn good looking.
435
00:29:50,850 --> 00:29:54,290
That's interesting. I wonder
why that is. I would never have expected
436
00:29:54,290 --> 00:29:56,850
Blood Elves. I mean, clearly
it should have been Kul Tirans, but
437
00:29:56,850 --> 00:29:58,090
you know, Blood Elves, I get it.
438
00:29:58,090 --> 00:30:00,690
You know, Kaltarians are
linebackers. Blood Elves are just
439
00:30:00,690 --> 00:30:02,610
really, really, really,
really, really good looking.
440
00:30:02,690 --> 00:30:05,010
That's true. Ridiculously good looking.
441
00:30:05,810 --> 00:30:10,620
Okay, this one might be a
little easier. The least played race.
442
00:30:10,860 --> 00:30:11,580
Earthen.
443
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:17,340
Yeah. Well, yeah, they're a
little tough to look at and talk
444
00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:17,740
to.
445
00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:21,660
Wow.
446
00:30:24,219 --> 00:30:34,950
That was incredibly earthest.
Oh, yes. So between the Earthen and
447
00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:38,390
the mechanisms, those are the
least played.
448
00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:41,750
Are you serious? That was a
joke. There really are that low.
449
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:43,510
The newest race is that low.
450
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:49,750
Like in the. In. In the 10 in
the tens of percentage points.
451
00:30:49,910 --> 00:30:55,150
Holy cow. Wow. Yeah, I. I'll
be honest. I was never really, like.
452
00:30:55,150 --> 00:30:58,310
I thought they were cool going
into it, but the more I got into
453
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,200
the expansion, less and less,
I just felt like I connected with
454
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,920
them. Like, on a personal
level, I'm just like, yeah, I think
455
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,720
I'm good. I wonder if other
people felt the same way. I did not
456
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,680
see that coming.
457
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,240
Turns out most people feel
that way.
458
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Wow.
459
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Okay, give me a ratio. I want
to know how many people you think
460
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,560
play tank versus DPS.
461
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,880
Oh, gosh. It is easily 75%
DPS, if not more.
462
00:31:25,270 --> 00:31:25,510
Close.
463
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:26,550
80.
464
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:28,870
One tank for every 10 DPS.
465
00:31:30,390 --> 00:31:34,070
That tracks. That tracks. You
know that tracks 100%.
466
00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:40,150
Yep, it totally tracks. Okay,
so. So here's. Here's another one.
467
00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:46,630
The most popular allied race
on Alliance Realms, more than some
468
00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:51,430
core races are Void Elves.
Most popular allied race.
469
00:31:52,030 --> 00:31:54,110
Okay, I can see that. I could
see that.
470
00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:57,310
Yeah. Well, this is on
Alliance Realms, so.
471
00:31:57,310 --> 00:31:59,710
Yeah, I'm not shocked by that.
They have great racials.
472
00:32:00,030 --> 00:32:07,350
Okay, so meta realms. Top race
for the meta realms are trolls, due
473
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:10,870
to their berserking racial
ability, which is also very.
474
00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:11,870
Okay. Yeah.
475
00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:13,790
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
476
00:32:13,870 --> 00:32:14,350
Yeah.
477
00:32:14,510 --> 00:32:21,160
Everybody love a troll
brother. Okay, what do you feel is
478
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,720
consistently the most played
alliance race on US Realms?
479
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:28,440
Human.
480
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,360
Nailed it.
481
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800
Yeah. Yeah, that tracks.
482
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:39,080
Yep, it is human. Okay, so
here. This one's easy. 15 to 20%
483
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:45,110
of the population on all
realms. What is the most played race?
484
00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:46,830
We already said it.
485
00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:47,590
Blood Elves.
486
00:32:47,670 --> 00:32:48,470
Blood Elves.
487
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:48,870
Yeah.
488
00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:54,790
Yep. Yep. This one made me
happy. What race do you think is
489
00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:59,830
the most popular cla or what
class is the most popular on RP Realms?
490
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:06,310
Here's the giveaway and
gathering Realms. Due to its certain
491
00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:08,750
type of flight form.
492
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:12,230
Not gonna read that word.
Yeah. Druids, baby.
493
00:33:12,870 --> 00:33:18,240
The Druids. Yep. Druids for
sure. Okay, number one race played
494
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,880
in PvP all around.
495
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,240
Night elf.
496
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:28,480
Night elf. Yep, for sure. 22%
on that one. It's pretty high. Okay.
497
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,360
This is where it gets into
stuff that you kind of already know,
498
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,560
but it's still quite
interesting to actually see the stats.
499
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,970
We'll go through the top five,
top five most played classes according
500
00:33:40,970 --> 00:33:44,170
to this video. Number one, Gibs.
501
00:33:44,250 --> 00:33:45,210
Paladin.
502
00:33:49,290 --> 00:33:53,730
Of course, this surprised me,
but it's still kind of up there because
503
00:33:53,730 --> 00:33:56,890
there's literally four specs
for this class, but Druid is number
504
00:33:56,890 --> 00:34:02,410
two. Number three is Hunter.
And we won't use the vernacular for
505
00:34:02,410 --> 00:34:07,380
World of Warcraft Hunters on
this show. Number four is Shaman.
506
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:12,620
And number five, Warrior.
Yeah, which probably Fury. I would
507
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:13,540
Imagine it's probably Fury.
508
00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:13,740
Yeah.
509
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:17,620
But okay, so as we go down
here, let's talk about the most popular
510
00:34:17,940 --> 00:34:22,980
specs. Not surprising. Number
one. And number two, number one,
511
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:25,460
Retribution Paladin.
512
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:29,020
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's. Of
course, it's such a flashy spec,
513
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:32,060
and it's honestly such an easy
spec to pick up. I'm not really shocked
514
00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:36,610
by that. And I loved playing
rep Paladin for years. You know,
515
00:34:36,610 --> 00:34:39,770
like it, it's. I get it. I
really do. 100 get it.
516
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:43,050
Okay, so with Rhett Paladin
being the number one most popular
517
00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:47,090
spec, I'm not even going to
give you a half a guess at the second
518
00:34:47,090 --> 00:34:47,930
most popular spec.
519
00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:51,690
It's probably Hunter related,
particularly. Oh, B. It's got to
520
00:34:51,690 --> 00:34:53,050
be bm. I bet it's bm.
521
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:57,890
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Set it and
forget it. Beastmaster Hunter all
522
00:34:57,890 --> 00:34:58,330
day long.
523
00:34:58,410 --> 00:34:58,890
Yeah.
524
00:34:59,170 --> 00:35:01,810
This one also didn't surprise
me. Number three, most popular spec
525
00:35:01,890 --> 00:35:06,930
is Havoc Demon Hunter. And
number four being the Fury Warrior,
526
00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:10,490
which we talked about, of
course, Fury. And then number five
527
00:35:10,490 --> 00:35:15,170
is Balance Druid. So anyway,
guys, this video was fantastic. I.
528
00:35:15,170 --> 00:35:19,930
I really, I love the humor in
it. I loved the fact that he sourced
529
00:35:19,930 --> 00:35:23,650
everything and seemingly put a
lot of work into coming up with a
530
00:35:23,650 --> 00:35:30,290
lot of these specs. Finish the
video off with a couple of pretty
531
00:35:30,290 --> 00:35:33,970
funny things. And the first
one was if you want to be a basic
532
00:35:33,970 --> 00:35:39,890
bee, just roll a blood elf rat
Paladin, and you're good. You are
533
00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:43,610
plenty good. Just blood alpha
rat pally, you're good to go. And
534
00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:46,410
then the second one, which I
know we've talked about this a little
535
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:50,510
bit before, and the downfall
of this particular class and specific,
536
00:35:51,140 --> 00:35:55,900
if you want to sit in queue
for hours by yourself, just roll
537
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,980
an alliance Drac, the
augmentation evoker, and you're pretty
538
00:35:59,980 --> 00:36:03,820
much guaranteeing yourself
that you're going to be solo.
539
00:36:03,820 --> 00:36:05,220
For a minute, man.
540
00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:11,940
So it's a shame. Yeah, I know
it brings a whole other conversation
541
00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:15,380
about player utility or class
utility in there.
542
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:16,780
Support roles, baby.
543
00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:19,740
Support roles. Yeah, which.
Which I know we've talked about before,
544
00:36:19,740 --> 00:36:22,020
and I'm sure at some point
we're going to talk about it again,
545
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:26,540
but. So Steven ends this video
with the only true bad character
546
00:36:26,540 --> 00:36:31,380
in World of Warcraft is. Or
the only true bad character choice
547
00:36:31,860 --> 00:36:34,940
in World of Warcraft is
rolling a character that you don't
548
00:36:34,940 --> 00:36:39,620
enjoy and then you blame
somebody else for it. So the takeaway
549
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:44,260
really is play what you want
to play. All specs are valid despite
550
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:48,500
tier lists. Play what you want
to Play or just joking about the.
551
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:53,380
About the last two. About the
Blood Elf Rat, Pali and the Augmentation
552
00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:56,860
Evoker. Play what you want.
Play what's fun to you. There is
553
00:36:56,860 --> 00:37:00,660
content for you and you're
fully viable. So anyway, huge thank
554
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:05,220
you to Steven Hero for putting
that video together. The video again
555
00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:10,620
is entitled the Most Popular
Faction Race Class and Specs Going
556
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:14,700
into Midnight. Breaking
557
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:19,670
news brought to all of you by
the Goblin News Network.
558
00:37:21,430 --> 00:37:26,390
Bum bum bum. Feel like. What
was that? What was that commercial?
559
00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:30,030
I feel like that was. Was it.
That wasn't Apple. I don't know.
560
00:37:30,030 --> 00:37:32,790
I'll figure it out when it's
not important. Macintosh? No, I don't
561
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:36,830
know. All right, anyway, so
folks, midnight. I'm thinking out
562
00:37:36,830 --> 00:37:39,750
loud apparently while we're
recording this midnight pre patch
563
00:37:39,750 --> 00:37:43,930
and expansion overview, what's
coming next for World of Warcraft?
564
00:37:43,930 --> 00:37:47,010
This coming to us from
wowhead.com now folks, this dropped
565
00:37:47,490 --> 00:37:50,610
kind of like when we were in
between our like a regular episode.
566
00:37:50,610 --> 00:37:54,970
Then we had AMR late watch the
first live show ever last week. And
567
00:37:54,970 --> 00:37:59,650
so this kind of came at
released during that time. So we're
568
00:37:59,650 --> 00:38:01,530
going to kind of COVID some of
the high points here because you
569
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:04,970
already know about this. Most
of you probably already do. So Blizzard
570
00:38:04,970 --> 00:38:07,730
has fully outlined what's
coming in the midnight pre patch
571
00:38:07,730 --> 00:38:11,090
and expansion launch. And this
is where one of the most system heavy
572
00:38:11,090 --> 00:38:16,490
transitions World of Warcraft
has ever attempted. So here's how
573
00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:21,490
the timeline shakes out right
now as of today, midnight pre patch
574
00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:26,090
is January 20th. So that means
all the core systems and gameplay
575
00:38:26,090 --> 00:38:29,290
changes, the stuff that you're
looking at for like user interface
576
00:38:29,290 --> 00:38:32,690
and your Transmog that's going
to see updates housing.
577
00:38:32,850 --> 00:38:34,690
I can't believe how fast this
is coming, bro.
578
00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:36,220
I know, I know.
579
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:39,940
It's just I feel I'm looking
at it right now and I have like.
580
00:38:39,940 --> 00:38:41,900
Two weeks to get through Kaiveza.
581
00:38:42,060 --> 00:38:47,580
I know, I know. It's. It is.
And I think that a lot of other players
582
00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:50,460
feel that way for a lot of
reasons. One being I still think
583
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:54,940
a lot of folks are still
trying to decide their main for no
584
00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:58,300
less of a reason than the way
the classes are going to shake out.
585
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:02,770
Because when this happens on
January 20th, these updates are happening
586
00:39:02,770 --> 00:39:05,890
at that point like we're
getting all those class updates right?
587
00:39:05,890 --> 00:39:10,410
So it's just like unless you
have been on the beta, I think this
588
00:39:10,410 --> 00:39:13,690
is the one time truthfully
probably for you, I'm speaking just
589
00:39:13,690 --> 00:39:17,530
for you and I the one time we
have been in a disadvantage to not
590
00:39:17,530 --> 00:39:21,010
have played that Beta to see
those class changes and feel them
591
00:39:21,010 --> 00:39:23,010
and kind of get an
understanding what we're going into
592
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:28,180
just because it's such an
unknown, you know, And I wonder how
593
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:30,660
many other people could say
the same. Like, they're still trying
594
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:32,140
to decide, you know.
595
00:39:32,380 --> 00:39:36,260
Yeah. And I, you know, I know
how you and I usually do stuff. We
596
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:40,100
don't like spoilers too much,
but, you know, I couldn't foresee
597
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:45,940
us in the future diving into
more beta content, you know, just
598
00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:53,260
to be responsible for
delivering accurate news, good news.
599
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:56,310
But then again, like, we're.
I'm not sitting here speculating
600
00:39:56,310 --> 00:40:00,510
on how things are going to be.
I'm just kind of. I'm just going
601
00:40:00,510 --> 00:40:04,350
to be kind of dumb to it and
just wait to see how it turns out.
602
00:40:04,350 --> 00:40:07,030
I don't plan on changing my
main. Regardless.
603
00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:09,990
That Rogue's not tickling your
ivory, huh?
604
00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:13,670
Oh, I'm. There's a hundred
per. There's zero doubt.
605
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:14,550
Yeah, I know.
606
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:22,910
There's zero doubt that Rogue
is not tickling things and that my
607
00:40:22,910 --> 00:40:26,790
Hunter is not making valves
open and close in my body. Because
608
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:27,230
it is.
609
00:40:27,230 --> 00:40:27,790
I know.
610
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:34,030
It totally is. I personally
cannot go back and forth. I would
611
00:40:34,030 --> 00:40:38,630
only. I would have to pick one
because I can't do dailies and weeklies
612
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:40,510
on three different characters.
613
00:40:40,590 --> 00:40:41,070
I just.
614
00:40:41,070 --> 00:40:42,430
I don't have the time.
615
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:43,150
Right.
616
00:40:43,150 --> 00:40:45,990
To do it as much as I would
want to. I just don't have the time
617
00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:51,960
to do it. So where. I don't
plan to change from Resto Druid.
618
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,400
And it's a good problem to
have. It's a good problem to have
619
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,360
when you're looking at other
classes thinking, man, that looks
620
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,680
fun. And I look at them all in
that same way. But I just have a
621
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,880
couple that really stick out
to me. And one is the Rogue. The
622
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,560
other is my. Is my. Of course,
my BM Hunter.
623
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,120
Yeah.
624
00:41:13,340 --> 00:41:19,460
So I. I don't know, maybe beta
is in our future for future patches.
625
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:22,940
I think if it's major classes
like that changes like that. I think
626
00:41:22,940 --> 00:41:25,820
that is. I think that's
probably something I could see us
627
00:41:25,820 --> 00:41:30,060
testing truthfully. Because,
yeah, like, means something to us
628
00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:32,460
to be able to experience it
alongside the rest of the community.
629
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:35,940
You know, like, it's. It's
just as in those episodes that come
630
00:41:35,940 --> 00:41:38,700
afterward are pretty staple
episodes. Like, you'll hear it in
631
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:42,660
our voice. But yeah, I think
if it's class related, definitely.
632
00:41:42,660 --> 00:41:45,540
Because, yeah, I mean, I'm
right there with you. I am so right
633
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:49,300
there with you. And honestly,
truthfully, at its core, I doubt
634
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:56,380
I'd be This rattled if housing
didn't completely change me in Warcraft,
635
00:41:56,620 --> 00:42:01,780
literally, it feels like
forever and or permanently. I play
636
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:10,330
the game so wildly different
now, wildly different. And I have
637
00:42:10,330 --> 00:42:15,450
no desire to go back to kind
of like how I used to play it. And
638
00:42:15,850 --> 00:42:19,530
you know, part of that, I say
that because my gameplay loop now
639
00:42:19,530 --> 00:42:22,450
is honestly very cozy, very
chill. Unless we're trying some like,
640
00:42:22,450 --> 00:42:27,810
crazy thing like trying to go
contract killer or. Honestly, I find
641
00:42:27,810 --> 00:42:31,770
healing arenas pretty chill.
Like it doesn't really bother me
642
00:42:31,770 --> 00:42:35,460
too much. Too much. Every now
and then I'll have a match, but for
643
00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:38,020
whatever reason, I've found
I'm very proficient at healing in
644
00:42:38,020 --> 00:42:41,860
an arena setting. I could
never do what you do. Healing in
645
00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:47,820
a mythic setting or even a
raid would make me nervous. But like,
646
00:42:47,820 --> 00:42:51,540
for whatever reason, like, I'm
fine in arenas, but outside of that,
647
00:42:51,540 --> 00:42:56,500
like, I'm very cozy, very
chill. And a lot of these classes
648
00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:59,600
are seeing a lot of changes,
you know, and I'm just like, man,
649
00:42:59,750 --> 00:43:04,630
man, oh man, how chill do I
want to make it, you know?
650
00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:08,230
Yeah, and I feel you on that
too. I think a lot of my gameplay,
651
00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:13,870
I went hard on housing right
off the bat. Got my house to my house
652
00:43:13,870 --> 00:43:18,790
and my collections for home
decor to a place that I was comfortable
653
00:43:18,790 --> 00:43:25,950
to cycle back to doing my
weeklies and maybe work in the auction
654
00:43:25,950 --> 00:43:29,160
house a bit and doing some of
those things, you know, working on
655
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,960
it, just continuing to work on
achievements and finish up, rep and
656
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,280
stuff that I need to finish up
before pre patch comes. But at the
657
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:41,440
same time, this is a typical,
a typical play session for me would
658
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:48,160
be log in, check, check my
mail to see what sold, put a couple
659
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,840
more items up for sale, and
then just kind of dilly dally around
660
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,120
and work on some of the stuff
that I want to finish up before pre
661
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,560
patch. And then our friends
get on and they're like, hey, we're
662
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:08,040
doing Gambit, you know, mythic
20. You want to go. And then I go
663
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,400
white knuckle it for the rest
of the night and feel like a substandard
664
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,720
player for the rest of the
night. That's. That's typically been
665
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:19,200
my loop lately. But I love the
way that you've been doing it because
666
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,240
like, you are true to life.
Like that is exactly what's going
667
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:26,510
on with you. It is. It's you.
You've turned into Susie Homemaker
668
00:44:26,510 --> 00:44:27,950
and I think it's kind of cool.
669
00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:32,590
Well, I've. It's just been so
fun. Like I've really endeavored
670
00:44:32,590 --> 00:44:38,190
to learn as many profession,
like error. I'm trying. Well, actually,
671
00:44:38,190 --> 00:44:39,990
no, I'll tell you what I'm
endeavoring to do. So your thing
672
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,190
is to get contract killer.
Honestly, my thing is to get every
673
00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:48,190
drop of decor that's available
right now before pre patch. And I'm
674
00:44:48,190 --> 00:44:51,720
so stinking close. So close.
The hardest ones to get are the current,
675
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,200
current patches because it
requires a group for you to go do
676
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,160
those things, you know, and
you guess it does for Dragonflight
677
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:03,000
as well, but. Yeah, it's just.
Yeah, I guess it's cool that you
678
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,040
see that. To be honest, I
haven't really ever thought about
679
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,240
it, but. Yeah, man.
680
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:11,120
Yeah. But it is true. I mean,
it totally is true. And when I joke
681
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,560
about Mythics, like I'm
nowhere near.
682
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,000
I really don't like them near
that high.
683
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,080
And they're there. I mean,
they're. I'm still consider myself
684
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,720
more of a casual player, so
it's dabbling in, you know, more
685
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,280
challenging content is
certainly stressful. Yeah, it's there
686
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,680
again. Warcraft is as simple
or as complex as you want it to be.
687
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:33,960
Yeah.
688
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,440
And that is the perfect example.
689
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,440
Yeah. Yeah. And I'm glad that
Pre patch is coming on January 20th,
690
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,800
Truth Leap, because we really
wanted that before the class changes,
691
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,760
before midnight hits. And so
we're definitely going to get that.
692
00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:48,950
And I bet you will see a lot
of people shift. A lot of people
693
00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:51,550
change class. Don't blame
them. You know, find what you play.
694
00:45:51,550 --> 00:45:55,630
We always say it. Forget meta,
forget tier lists. Those are the
695
00:45:55,630 --> 00:45:59,390
bane of any person who wants
to stay on a single tune. Play what
696
00:45:59,390 --> 00:46:02,109
you love, play what you love,
what you connect with and what you
697
00:46:02,109 --> 00:46:02,550
enjoy.
698
00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:05,830
So, yeah, and what's nice is
that they're giving us a week to
699
00:46:05,830 --> 00:46:10,590
play with your class before
the pre patch event shows up, which
700
00:46:10,590 --> 00:46:13,580
is called Twilight Ascension,
and that's happening January 27th.
701
00:46:13,660 --> 00:46:15,340
So that's. That's just a good choice.
702
00:46:15,340 --> 00:46:19,220
Yep, absolutely. And by the
way, folks, I've plugged this so
703
00:46:19,220 --> 00:46:23,980
many times, but if you can
read Blood Ties before this drops,
704
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:31,980
read it. Because I tell you, I
have a. A really strong inkling to
705
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:34,500
what's probably going to
happen in Last Titan. Now, I have
706
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:37,500
a theory. I don't want to say
it, but I think I know what's. What's
707
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:40,940
coming. Part of that book is a
major because I know when Christy
708
00:46:40,940 --> 00:46:44,900
wrote that she had. She had a
lane she had to stay in for this.
709
00:46:45,140 --> 00:46:48,500
Like, there were certain story
beats they wanted them to say should.
710
00:46:48,500 --> 00:46:51,820
They wanted her to grow to,
you know, like, go with. And I'm
711
00:46:51,820 --> 00:46:56,100
like the writing's on the
wall. Okay.
712
00:46:56,420 --> 00:47:00,460
I love it. I love it. I have.
I can probably. I'm gonna probably
713
00:47:00,460 --> 00:47:04,460
audible that here within the
next few weeks, because I honestly.
714
00:47:04,460 --> 00:47:07,060
You would have until January 27th.
715
00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:07,540
Yeah.
716
00:47:07,540 --> 00:47:12,140
When the pre patch event takes
place, to get caught up on the lore
717
00:47:12,140 --> 00:47:15,100
in between War within and
Midnight. So I think that's. That's
718
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:16,700
plenty of time to devour that book.
719
00:47:16,700 --> 00:47:19,020
Yeah. And you know what? I
bought a physical copy too, just
720
00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:21,620
because I loved it so much.
And I've kind of grown to become
721
00:47:21,620 --> 00:47:25,380
a Warcraft book hog and
collector, and it's only like less
722
00:47:25,380 --> 00:47:30,260
than 400 pages. It's not a big
book. It's not big at all. But so
723
00:47:30,260 --> 00:47:33,260
anyway, yeah, like you said,
Twilight Ascension, January 27th
724
00:47:33,260 --> 00:47:37,340
and then midnight early
access, February 22nd. I'm sorry,
725
00:47:37,340 --> 00:47:42,100
February 27th, followed by the
midnight full launch on March 2nd.
726
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:46,660
Now, don't forget, folks, if
you did pre order it one of those
727
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:50,860
tiers, you get it. I forget if
it's all tiers or at least the second
728
00:47:50,860 --> 00:47:56,350
tier, you get early access. So
that's. That'll definitely be a thing
729
00:47:56,350 --> 00:47:58,990
as well. So. Yeah. So February
27th, I know we'll be in for the
730
00:47:58,990 --> 00:48:02,230
early access section. It'll be
fun. It'll be a good time to cover.
731
00:48:02,390 --> 00:48:06,390
And like you said, I think you
hit the nail on the head for this
732
00:48:06,630 --> 00:48:10,710
segment here. I can't believe
it's so soon.
733
00:48:12,070 --> 00:48:17,950
Yeah, it is. And as we're
doing the show, I'm thinking in the
734
00:48:17,950 --> 00:48:24,520
Rolodex of my mind. Rolodex in
old man's term. I'm thinking of all
735
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,080
the things I have going on in
my life. I'm like, oh, my God.
736
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:29,440
Oh, no.
737
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,400
I have to carve out some time.
738
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,520
Yep, definitely. Definitely.
So there is that. Next up, updated
739
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,600
class survival guide for
midnight beta changes. You need to
740
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,160
know. So this again comes from
wowhead.com Folks, this article kind
741
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,250
of got into nitty gritty about
a guide for your class. Like, just
742
00:48:48,410 --> 00:48:52,250
sections broke up based on
spec for your. Your class specifically.
743
00:48:52,410 --> 00:48:56,010
And we thought this would be a
way to really help you understand
744
00:48:56,890 --> 00:49:02,170
to a certain extent what to
expect for your role for your spec
745
00:49:02,409 --> 00:49:05,770
going into midnight. And so
instead of us giving you all the
746
00:49:05,770 --> 00:49:08,610
numbers, the, you know, the
pluses, the minuses, none of that
747
00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:12,610
stuff, we went to our Goblin
staff. We gave them a task which
748
00:49:12,610 --> 00:49:17,090
was scary enough to do
already, and we had them kind of
749
00:49:17,490 --> 00:49:20,490
summarize it, kind of focused
it down a little bit, quote unquote,
750
00:49:20,490 --> 00:49:25,490
casualized it for all of us.
And so they brought their report.
751
00:49:26,930 --> 00:49:31,970
So we're gonna read through
this and see what they had to say.
752
00:49:32,290 --> 00:49:33,250
You want to take it?
753
00:49:33,410 --> 00:49:41,100
Yeah. So Midnight isn't about
making World World of Warcraft easier.
754
00:49:41,580 --> 00:49:45,580
It is about making it less
exhausting. So almost every class
755
00:49:46,220 --> 00:49:51,660
blizzard has quietly sanded
down the sharp edges of each of these
756
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:56,540
classes. Every class got
touched some inappropriately, but
757
00:49:57,180 --> 00:50:04,860
everyone got touched. So some
of them are. Some of the rotations
758
00:50:04,860 --> 00:50:09,370
that were out there were very
non forgiving and you know, you forget
759
00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:15,090
a buff and you'll wipe. So
they changed a lot of that stuff
760
00:50:16,770 --> 00:50:20,530
to come a little bit more in
line with the changes that have been
761
00:50:20,530 --> 00:50:25,650
made to add ons. So again,
like tons of stuff. So for tanks,
762
00:50:25,970 --> 00:50:29,530
fewer surprise deaths.
Warriors, paladins, death knights,
763
00:50:29,530 --> 00:50:32,250
they're all being tuned. So
the survivability feels a bit more
764
00:50:32,250 --> 00:50:35,520
predictable instead of just
like, I hope the healer is paying
765
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,320
attention. Tanks will still be
managing their cooldowns. But you
766
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:46,840
don't need. I guess it's less
the need for add ons to know that,
767
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,720
to know when you're safe, like
boss timers a little bit less now
768
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:56,600
the thing is like we're losing
things. Like dang, what's the dungeon
769
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,510
one? So hard to remember
things when you're on the spot.
770
00:50:59,510 --> 00:51:00,150
Dbm.
771
00:51:00,150 --> 00:51:04,230
Dbm. Yeah. Thank you. DBM
would like warn you when stuff's
772
00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:07,030
coming. You're not gonna have
to watch for when those things are
773
00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:10,990
coming. So it's definitely
going to be some different gameplay.
774
00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:15,350
So for some of the different
classes like demon hunters, rogues
775
00:51:15,350 --> 00:51:19,390
and monk monks that are a
little more like fast button pressing,
776
00:51:19,550 --> 00:51:25,330
you know, twitch heavy. The
pattern is the less upkeep you take,
777
00:51:25,810 --> 00:51:29,530
the more room you're gonna
have to recover if you mess up. So
778
00:51:29,530 --> 00:51:33,450
it's. Oh man, again, like
we've kind of fallen to the trap
779
00:51:33,450 --> 00:51:36,250
of saying that a lot of the
classes are being dumbed down a little
780
00:51:36,250 --> 00:51:39,490
bit. No, they're just,
they're. The flow is being worked
781
00:51:39,490 --> 00:51:46,130
better so the classes feel
more engaging and more attractive
782
00:51:46,130 --> 00:51:52,500
to play. That's what I'm
seeing anyway. So for casters there
783
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:57,900
were like shadow priest mages,
warlocks, chamois. The rotations
784
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:03,060
are being smoothed out. So it
doesn't feel like if you fall out
785
00:52:03,060 --> 00:52:08,980
of rhythm, you're going to
completely tank your rotation. You
786
00:52:08,980 --> 00:52:11,900
can kind of just oops, mess
that one up and then you re enter
787
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:16,220
the flow without the games
basically being completely unforgiving
788
00:52:16,220 --> 00:52:19,800
to you and telling you that
you suck at the game. So. So that's
789
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:25,200
Good changes to Hunters and
Druids. So I don't know how much
790
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,280
I feel too much about Hunter
specs needing to get changed, other
791
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,520
than maybe Marksman and
Survival, because you literally can
792
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,920
roll your head across the
keyboard with Beastmaster and it's
793
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:45,250
fun as hell. Druids, I think,
on the other hand, especially Boomies,
794
00:52:46,370 --> 00:52:51,410
that was a little bit more
intensive with just a ton of things
795
00:52:51,410 --> 00:52:55,570
at once, like maybe too many
stimuli at once understanding how
796
00:52:56,130 --> 00:52:59,170
the class works and when
certain things proc you're using
797
00:52:59,250 --> 00:53:03,570
certain abilities. So for a
lot of the folks out there who are
798
00:53:03,570 --> 00:53:06,890
very, very well skilled in
this and have been playing Boomies
799
00:53:06,890 --> 00:53:12,230
for a long time, you'll
probably disagree with me, but I
800
00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:18,870
always felt like it was more
of a challenge to play in that Moon
801
00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:25,030
Conform and under balance
Druid without. It was hard to play
802
00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:28,750
it without some kind of jogger
as to what you should be doing next.
803
00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:34,070
So whether that was, you know,
any of the various forms of add ons
804
00:53:34,070 --> 00:53:39,470
that were available or still
available to help you with your rotation
805
00:53:39,470 --> 00:53:44,270
or the native rotation
assistant in the game. So what they're
806
00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:47,390
doing is they're simplifying
that a bit. They're making things
807
00:53:48,750 --> 00:53:52,990
kind of buried in one another
so that when you use a skill, another
808
00:53:53,070 --> 00:53:56,670
skill is triggering to make
those rotations a little more simple.
809
00:53:58,430 --> 00:54:02,990
The Evoker. The Evocher. The
Evoker, which is for a long time
810
00:54:02,990 --> 00:54:08,290
been considered the canary in
Blizzard's design. Aug still exists.
811
00:54:08,290 --> 00:54:12,130
So if you play augmentation,
that's fantastic. Support is still
812
00:54:12,130 --> 00:54:16,130
real, which is, this is great
to hear from Blizzard that support
813
00:54:16,130 --> 00:54:20,690
is still a thing. They haven't
abandoned the class. But Blizzard
814
00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:24,730
is not backing off the idea
that not every spec needs to be about
815
00:54:24,730 --> 00:54:30,660
topping the meters. So we
suspect this is intentional because
816
00:54:30,660 --> 00:54:34,780
this could lead to exactly
what we've been talking about. More
817
00:54:34,780 --> 00:54:37,820
support, support classes
coming down the road, which would
818
00:54:37,820 --> 00:54:42,740
be freaking amazing. So I
think the big picture to see here
819
00:54:42,740 --> 00:54:50,540
is that Blizzard is finding
out that too much of WoW's difficulty
820
00:54:50,540 --> 00:54:53,820
came from some of the external
tools that were out there. So by
821
00:54:53,820 --> 00:54:57,880
removing those external tools
and tweaking the game to where they
822
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:02,360
want it to be, it's going to
make things more attractive, it's
823
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:07,400
going to make classes more
viable and fun to play with a fun
824
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,960
gameplay flow. And I think
that's a good thing.
825
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,320
Agreed.
826
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,240
Snark online.
827
00:55:25,330 --> 00:55:28,730
I don't know why I shouldn't
laugh at this point. We're 15 episodes
828
00:55:28,730 --> 00:55:33,490
in we're Grown Men, but every
time that bumper I get helped because
829
00:55:33,490 --> 00:55:36,930
farts are funny. It's true.
All right, so it's sped out today.
830
00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:39,210
For those of you who don't
know, this is the segment navigator
831
00:55:39,210 --> 00:55:43,170
and randomizer kiosk thing
that Goblins made for us and gives
832
00:55:43,170 --> 00:55:49,700
us our segments. And we have
mailbag mayhem. Alright, so this
833
00:55:49,700 --> 00:55:53,740
is the segment where we open
your mail and answer it on the air.
834
00:55:53,740 --> 00:55:56,420
And this is fitting because we
do have some emails. All right, so
835
00:55:56,420 --> 00:56:01,780
this first one to us from
Spitfire says, Greetings amr. With
836
00:56:01,780 --> 00:56:04,860
the new year upon us soon and
everyone starting new journeys, your
837
00:56:04,860 --> 00:56:09,020
show has convinced me to give
World of Warcraft a try for the very
838
00:56:09,260 --> 00:56:13,710
first time in my life.
However, it's admittedly pretty daunting.
839
00:56:13,710 --> 00:56:17,230
With the sheer amount of time
the game is existed for and the amount
840
00:56:17,230 --> 00:56:20,590
of content that comes with
that, it's easy to feel like I'm
841
00:56:20,590 --> 00:56:24,230
coming in too late and I've
missed the boat all those years ago.
842
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:27,470
That being said, I was hoping
you guys could take some time to
843
00:56:27,470 --> 00:56:31,030
talk about how a brand new
player would jump into World of Warcraft.
844
00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:34,950
In this day and age, what
should a newcomer expect? And what's
845
00:56:34,950 --> 00:56:37,430
the best way to approach the
game without being totally lost?
846
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,960
Is there such a thing as being
too late to the party? As always,
847
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,400
eternally grateful for your
passion, positivity and kindness
848
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,400
you bring to the community.
Your conversations make the game
849
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,480
feel welcoming rather than
intimidating. And they've genuinely
850
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,400
inspired me to finally take
that first step in Azeroth. Keep
851
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,920
doing what you do. Looking
forward to every episode. Your friend,
852
00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:59,320
Spitfire. Well, that was
really nice.
853
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Really nice. And greetings,
Spitfire. Nice to see you, my friend.
854
00:57:03,710 --> 00:57:07,830
Yeah, I think I got a pretty
decent perspective on this one just
855
00:57:07,830 --> 00:57:10,550
because of the fact that I
have a family member that lives in
856
00:57:10,550 --> 00:57:14,750
this very house who has
recently dove into World of Warcraft
857
00:57:14,750 --> 00:57:19,950
and she's not really even a
big MMO player. Spit, I know, has
858
00:57:19,950 --> 00:57:24,910
some experience with MMOs.
Quite a bit. So I would say. No,
859
00:57:25,070 --> 00:57:27,870
I would say it's. It's
definitely not too late. And I didn't
860
00:57:27,870 --> 00:57:33,240
mean to like lazily go into
my. No, I certainly don't think it's
861
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,520
too late to play World of
Warcraft. They have tailored the
862
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:44,520
new player experience, which
is not perfect because I don't know
863
00:57:45,159 --> 00:57:50,040
how you could make it perfect
and catch people up to what's going
864
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,400
on, aside from maybe some of
the ideas that we talked about, you
865
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:59,950
know, doing Lore Walker Joe,
having the availability of Lore Walker
866
00:57:59,950 --> 00:58:04,990
Joe to kind of walk you
through what each expansion has done,
867
00:58:05,390 --> 00:58:09,630
but catching up on 20 years
lore is a daunting task anyway. I
868
00:58:09,630 --> 00:58:14,030
mean, that's, that's a ton.
But it's not different than any other
869
00:58:15,150 --> 00:58:19,990
large IP that's out there with
20 years of lore. And you know that
870
00:58:19,990 --> 00:58:23,840
one again, I'll go to Elder
Scrolls. It's like, it's. There's
871
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,240
so much lore there, it's just,
it's nuts. Well, there's so much
872
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,680
lore here that it's nuts. So I
would say to answer this, you gotta
873
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:36,280
just take your time and just
fall in love with the world. Some
874
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:42,680
of the ways that you can do
that. If you find a community, a
875
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,800
community can certainly help
you with the mechanics part of the
876
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:52,230
game and help to like, direct
you live as to what you need to do.
877
00:58:53,510 --> 00:58:58,950
If you happen to be a solo
player, then I would definitely say
878
00:58:58,950 --> 00:59:03,870
take advantage of the, the
Newcomer Channel, which is Channel
879
00:59:03,870 --> 00:59:09,270
six. And I know for a fact
that both Jibs and I have both joined
880
00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:16,860
that. That team. We both
became Newcomer Helpers, which I
881
00:59:16,860 --> 00:59:19,980
think is great. I've been
having a really good time. You know,
882
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:23,860
you see Newcomer chat, once
you, you do the thing, you become
883
00:59:23,860 --> 00:59:29,340
a Newcomer Helper mentor. You
see the chat all the time. People
884
00:59:29,580 --> 00:59:33,500
definitely ask questions in
there. And there are. There's always
885
00:59:33,900 --> 00:59:39,100
A somebody that beats me to
it, or B, an opportunity for me to
886
00:59:39,970 --> 00:59:42,970
make a new friend and help
them out with something. So that
887
00:59:42,970 --> 00:59:47,690
is a really good resource to
use if you're playing solo. I mean,
888
00:59:47,690 --> 00:59:50,530
you could use it regardless if
you're playing with it with a group
889
00:59:50,530 --> 00:59:55,489
or you have a guild, it's
great. But there's nothing that's
890
00:59:55,489 --> 00:59:59,650
going to beat being in a
discord with players who have played
891
00:59:59,650 --> 01:00:02,610
the game for a long time and,
and are willing to answer those questions
892
01:00:02,610 --> 01:00:07,580
for you. But man, just take
your time with it. There really is
893
01:00:07,580 --> 01:00:11,780
no hurry. There's so much time
for you to get in there and just
894
01:00:11,780 --> 01:00:15,620
play the game at your speed,
play through the things that you
895
01:00:15,620 --> 01:00:18,860
want to play through. And when
the game is trying to direct you
896
01:00:19,420 --> 01:00:22,700
to new stuff, you can always
just say no and stay where you're
897
01:00:22,700 --> 01:00:26,100
at. Like my daughter, we
leveled her pretty quick because
898
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:29,260
we wanted it. It wasn't that
we did it on purpose, but we wanted
899
01:00:29,260 --> 01:00:32,550
to start getting her some
gear, getting her used to playing
900
01:00:32,550 --> 01:00:37,310
in some dungeons and in a. In
a group setting. So we happen to
901
01:00:37,310 --> 01:00:40,190
be doing it during the time
Walking events. Would that leveled
902
01:00:40,190 --> 01:00:43,350
her up so dang fast, which
we've talked about on previous shows,
903
01:00:43,670 --> 01:00:48,710
but she still went back to
battle for Azeroth because she really
904
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:52,070
Liked the zone and she wanted
to finish that story. So she's still
905
01:00:52,070 --> 01:00:54,630
there. She's level 80 and
she's still there. She's just like,
906
01:00:54,630 --> 01:00:58,390
man, I'm kicking everything's
butt now. And it's like, oh yeah,
907
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:01,340
you know, we got her some gear
and now she's 80 and she's just one
908
01:01:01,340 --> 01:01:04,620
shot and everything over there
on her warlock. But she's still taking
909
01:01:04,620 --> 01:01:08,620
her time and she's having a
great time doing it. The game will
910
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:11,860
have a tendency, Jibs, to
overwhelm you.
911
01:01:12,020 --> 01:01:12,580
Mm.
912
01:01:12,740 --> 01:01:14,020
If you allow it to.
913
01:01:14,020 --> 01:01:16,780
Yeah, yeah. And honestly, I
think you kind of hit the nail on
914
01:01:16,780 --> 01:01:19,860
the head. Be careful how much
you allow yourself to take in at
915
01:01:19,860 --> 01:01:24,740
the beginning. Like actively
limit yourself to. If it were me,
916
01:01:25,110 --> 01:01:28,110
maybe to actively limit
myself, I would focus on a specific
917
01:01:28,110 --> 01:01:35,150
zone and focus on skills and
my talents. That's it, you know,
918
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:39,830
like, that's really the core
of it. It's love the world, love
919
01:01:39,830 --> 01:01:44,270
your class and just focus on
your, like how that develops. So
920
01:01:44,270 --> 01:01:48,030
again it. Learning your
skills, learning your talent, picking
921
01:01:48,030 --> 01:01:52,790
your talents. Forget top tier
build. Forget what is so ingrained
922
01:01:52,790 --> 01:01:57,430
to so many people naturally
these days. And that is what's relevant.
923
01:01:57,430 --> 01:02:00,630
I hear that all the time.
Well, I don't know what's relevant.
924
01:02:00,950 --> 01:02:07,549
What's relevant is what you
like, what you enjoy. So focus on
925
01:02:07,549 --> 01:02:13,110
the, like Cash said, the world
and I would add like this. Learning
926
01:02:13,110 --> 01:02:15,830
your class, like he said to
like learning. Focus on your class
927
01:02:16,470 --> 01:02:20,200
and the rest of it. Just let
it come in time, let it come in time.
928
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,600
Focus on your zones that
you're in. Have fun. Right.
929
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,280
And if you're, if you're
concerned about dungeons, here's
930
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,360
one very poignant tip that.
931
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:27,880
I will give you.
932
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:33,000
If you're concerned or
hesitant to get into group a group
933
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:38,320
dungeon setting, take
advantage of the follower dungeons.
934
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:45,150
They. That is the best
simulation of what a real group would
935
01:02:45,150 --> 01:02:50,550
feel like that I. That I've
ever seen in any game. And basically
936
01:02:50,550 --> 01:02:53,750
what the follower dungeons
are, you can queue up for them. You'll
937
01:02:53,750 --> 01:02:57,470
get almost an instant queue
because your groupmates will be AI,
938
01:02:57,790 --> 01:03:04,390
but that intelligence that
they have is very much like how it
939
01:03:04,390 --> 01:03:07,950
will be in a regular dungeon.
Aside from the fact that they're
940
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:12,160
not special. Speeding along,
you can, you can cruise at whatever
941
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,280
speed you want and they will
walk you through the dungeons and
942
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,840
you'll get to see the story
and you'll get to enjoy the dungeons.
943
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:25,560
So it's a really good way to
learn World of Warcraft dungeons
944
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,600
if you have any hesitation to
hopping into them.
945
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,280
Agreed. Agreed. Well said.
Yeah. Spitfire, thank you so much
946
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:35,210
for the message and welcome to
Azeroth. So happy to have you here.
947
01:03:35,210 --> 01:03:35,850
It's awesome.
948
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:37,970
Yep. And don't be afraid to
reach out.
949
01:03:37,970 --> 01:03:38,450
That's right.
950
01:03:38,450 --> 01:03:41,530
Would be more than happy to
help you and it is great to see.
951
01:03:41,610 --> 01:03:46,090
Yeah. You are not a stranger.
Sin asks. Hey guys, as I said the
952
01:03:46,090 --> 01:03:49,770
other night, great to quote,
see you guys again. We're at their
953
01:03:49,930 --> 01:03:53,930
live show. It sounds weird
coming through the vine, but I have
954
01:03:53,930 --> 01:03:58,130
missed you guys. As I was
writing my review for amr, I decided
955
01:03:58,130 --> 01:04:01,550
to just basically carbon copy
my Lore Seekers review from years
956
01:04:01,550 --> 01:04:04,750
ago. Which, by the way, folks,
that was our ES show we ran from
957
01:04:04,750 --> 01:04:10,870
2018-21. And he says because,
well, basically it's all still relevant,
958
01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:15,110
applicable and pretty freaking
cool. It's a testament to the unnatural
959
01:04:15,110 --> 01:04:20,190
and pretty amazing bond you
guys have that permeates the waves
960
01:04:20,190 --> 01:04:23,750
to the communities that you
guys nurture. Great job. Doesn't
961
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:28,400
do it justice, but darn fine
job. Regardless, here's a question
962
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,120
I deal with in WOW that I
would love to hear your takes on
963
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,680
because I feel I'm not alone
and I'm going to be growing in brethren.
964
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:40,120
I'm jumping in. I'm sorry, I'm
a jump in, jump out. Wow. Altoholic.
965
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:46,560
Oh, do tell. Played solid from
Beta Wrath with my wife until my
966
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,080
twins were born, then by
myself until Kata, then jumped back
967
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080
in for Ms. Wad and Legion
leaving for about two months into
968
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,550
boa. Wow. They detailed it
out. That was pretty impressive.
969
01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:59,510
After feeling the itch to jump
back in later this year, I started
970
01:04:59,510 --> 01:05:02,590
listening to what old school
podcasts remained and found solo
971
01:05:02,590 --> 01:05:06,590
queue. I love Dave and he says
our friend Dave pulled me in full
972
01:05:06,590 --> 01:05:12,950
bore. My dilemma is, as an
experienced player as I am, I still
973
01:05:12,950 --> 01:05:16,030
feel overwhelmed with all the
systems Blizzard hits us with to
974
01:05:16,030 --> 01:05:20,030
keep things fresh. FOMO always
gets me to reroll a tune and start
975
01:05:20,030 --> 01:05:23,590
over to get a feel for things
and I never catch up to modern content.
976
01:05:24,570 --> 01:05:27,570
What? I think this is the real
question here. What pathways would
977
01:05:27,570 --> 01:05:31,450
you set out for a new
returning player to get the best
978
01:05:31,450 --> 01:05:35,690
of what's around while still
feeling viable? Thanks for the years
979
01:05:35,690 --> 01:05:39,050
and bless you all for your
efforts and talents. Sin. First off,
980
01:05:39,050 --> 01:05:42,290
Sin, you're incredibly kind
and thank you so much for the kind
981
01:05:42,290 --> 01:05:43,770
words. It is good to see you again.
982
01:05:44,010 --> 01:05:49,370
Yes, very much so. Welcome
back to Azeroth. We'll say that.
983
01:05:49,780 --> 01:05:50,100
Yeah.
984
01:05:51,940 --> 01:05:56,300
I think. I think a lot of this
answer will resonate in the answers
985
01:05:56,300 --> 01:06:01,780
that we had for Spitfire.
Although I will Say this if you want,
986
01:06:02,740 --> 01:06:06,940
we have certainly been down
this road all the times that we've
987
01:06:06,940 --> 01:06:11,260
left, played some other games
and then came back to Warcraft. Jibs
988
01:06:11,260 --> 01:06:15,260
and I will almost always roll
a brand new tomb to get back into
989
01:06:15,260 --> 01:06:17,900
the feel of things. And I
think a lot of it is because the
990
01:06:17,900 --> 01:06:27,420
nostalgia really helps for the
game to stick again. And so I would
991
01:06:27,420 --> 01:06:31,420
say, like, there's no bones
about it. That's a great way to get
992
01:06:31,420 --> 01:06:34,660
back into the game is to just
reroll a new tune and just go through
993
01:06:34,660 --> 01:06:41,300
stuff. But if you want to keep
up on the latest systems and feel
994
01:06:41,300 --> 01:06:48,430
relevant, what I would suggest
doing is play the game as a new player
995
01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:51,630
in the starting zones,
whatever zone you decide if you,
996
01:06:51,630 --> 01:06:55,150
whether you start on, on
newbie island or you know, the new
997
01:06:55,150 --> 01:07:00,750
player experience or you just
want to start leveling in a zone
998
01:07:00,750 --> 01:07:03,870
that you pick a starter zone
that you pick, play through that,
999
01:07:04,590 --> 01:07:11,910
pick an expansion about level
maybe 10 to 15 ish. Go to that expansion,
1000
01:07:11,910 --> 01:07:16,710
start playing through that
until you stop getting xp. There
1001
01:07:16,710 --> 01:07:21,670
will be a point where you,
your XP gain from the things that
1002
01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:26,190
you're doing will
exponentially slow down and you will
1003
01:07:26,190 --> 01:07:31,270
notice it. You'll be like,
what the heck just happened at that
1004
01:07:31,270 --> 01:07:37,460
point. That's when you want to
move to the latest expansion. And
1005
01:07:37,460 --> 01:07:41,020
that's how we've done it for
years. You're shaking your head like
1006
01:07:41,020 --> 01:07:41,700
I'm no.
1007
01:07:41,700 --> 01:07:44,740
I accidentally just deleted
the entire show notes in a single
1008
01:07:44,740 --> 01:07:47,380
setting. Thank God for undo
while you were talking. I'm sorry,
1009
01:07:47,380 --> 01:07:47,700
continue.
1010
01:07:47,940 --> 01:07:50,620
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it. I
saw the whole screen go black and
1011
01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:52,100
I was like, yeah, he'll fix that.
1012
01:07:53,460 --> 01:07:56,580
Yeah, just ignore. It's my
first time broadcasting. I'm sorry.
1013
01:07:56,580 --> 01:07:57,340
Podcast. Go ahead.
1014
01:07:57,340 --> 01:07:59,460
Congratulations on knowing
Microsoft Word.
1015
01:07:59,630 --> 01:08:00,750
Thank you, thank you.
1016
01:08:02,270 --> 01:08:06,110
But that's, that's really the,
that's what I would give you as,
1017
01:08:06,190 --> 01:08:10,630
as advice. Start off and play
whatever starting experience you
1018
01:08:10,630 --> 01:08:16,750
want. Then around 10 to 15,
pick an expansion, go to that expansion
1019
01:08:17,070 --> 01:08:22,870
level there. And then once you
stop getting that experience, then
1020
01:08:22,870 --> 01:08:27,919
you can move over to the brand
new new expansion. That'll be the
1021
01:08:27,919 --> 01:08:31,239
right time for that. And then
once you start going through, through
1022
01:08:31,239 --> 01:08:36,479
the new expansion, like there
are several systems to get you leveled
1023
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:42,359
up. I mean nowadays there's
time walking, there's just dungeons,
1024
01:08:42,359 --> 01:08:48,319
period. There's delves,
there's PvP. If you're into PvP,
1025
01:08:48,879 --> 01:08:52,570
you can level up through all
those different experiences and numerous
1026
01:08:52,570 --> 01:08:57,050
other ones too. Pick your
poison. Pick whichever one you like.
1027
01:08:57,210 --> 01:09:01,370
For me, I love leveling in
Delves. If I'm going to level a new
1028
01:09:01,370 --> 01:09:05,570
tune, I will go into Delves
and just crush them to try and push
1029
01:09:05,570 --> 01:09:11,530
that level. I love leveling up
my, my Delve companion. I love getting
1030
01:09:11,530 --> 01:09:16,050
the gear out of there. I love
doing those weeklies in Delves and
1031
01:09:16,050 --> 01:09:20,519
I'm really, really a huge
Delve fan period. So that to me is,
1032
01:09:20,519 --> 01:09:23,839
is a really good way to do it.
And then like when my friends log
1033
01:09:23,839 --> 01:09:29,679
on time walking, we do
dungeons, you get gear, you get uber
1034
01:09:29,679 --> 01:09:37,679
fast experience in there. And
remember folks, the game doesn't
1035
01:09:38,159 --> 01:09:43,279
begin at 80, the game begins
at 1. But once you hit level 80,
1036
01:09:44,510 --> 01:09:49,750
your further experience, your
end game experience begins when you
1037
01:09:49,750 --> 01:09:54,750
hit 80. And that is a majority
of your life in World of Warcraft
1038
01:09:54,750 --> 01:10:00,190
is going to be 80 and beyond.
But the journey to get there is whatever
1039
01:10:00,190 --> 01:10:04,750
you make it, however slow you
want to do it, enjoy it.
1040
01:10:05,150 --> 01:10:10,740
Everything cash just said sin
100%. He nailed it. Do those things
1041
01:10:11,140 --> 01:10:14,580
the way he said to do those
things. I can't agree more. Thank
1042
01:10:14,580 --> 01:10:17,100
you so much for the email and
hang out with us in Azeroth now.
1043
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:22,700
It's exciting and we have, we
have information coming very, very
1044
01:10:22,700 --> 01:10:25,380
soon. If you've seen that
emote the dog's nose smashed against
1045
01:10:25,380 --> 01:10:29,700
the window very thune on our
community what that looks like for
1046
01:10:29,700 --> 01:10:34,460
World of Warcraft. So more,
more info coming very soon next up
1047
01:10:34,460 --> 01:10:37,360
here from Rack. Now this is
more of a feel good story than actual
1048
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,160
question, but this was
something that we wanted to share
1049
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,560
on the air. It's another one
of those real how Azeroth brings
1050
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,600
people together kind of
stories. Before we close out the
1051
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,440
show, they say hello chips and
cash. I've been wanting to write
1052
01:10:49,440 --> 01:10:52,760
in for a few weeks now and I
finally carved out some time to sit
1053
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,960
down tonight and do so. I got
turned onto your show on on your
1054
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,480
launch day when Swaglock from
the War Band posted in his Discord
1055
01:11:02,430 --> 01:11:05,030
a recommendation for AMR
Swaglock. Thank you so much for that.
1056
01:11:05,030 --> 01:11:06,030
You're awesome. We love you buddy.
1057
01:11:06,030 --> 01:11:08,430
Yes, thank you sir. Appreciate it.
1058
01:11:08,510 --> 01:11:11,790
And I was immediately hooked.
The vibe you bring, your message,
1059
01:11:11,790 --> 01:11:15,430
your format and discussions, I
found it all to be right up my alley
1060
01:11:15,430 --> 01:11:18,710
and frankly inspiring. Both
you and the War Band have recently
1061
01:11:18,710 --> 01:11:21,550
inspired me to chase the
challenge of attempting to get into
1062
01:11:21,550 --> 01:11:24,910
podcasting myself. Well,
welcome in.
1063
01:11:24,910 --> 01:11:25,550
I love it.
1064
01:11:25,870 --> 01:11:28,860
A buddy of mine and I are in
somewhat early stages of figuring
1065
01:11:28,860 --> 01:11:33,460
out everything that goes into
it and we're getting close to recording
1066
01:11:33,460 --> 01:11:37,940
a pilot episode. It's been an
engaging challenge that I see bringing
1067
01:11:37,940 --> 01:11:41,500
a lot of fun growth to both of
us regardless of the ultimate outcome
1068
01:11:41,500 --> 01:11:45,700
of it. But this really isn't
why I wanted to write to you. I am
1069
01:11:45,700 --> 01:11:49,020
writing because I have a story
I was hoping to share with you both.
1070
01:11:49,420 --> 01:11:52,460
Forgive me if this email ends
up being a bit lengthy. I can be
1071
01:11:52,460 --> 01:11:55,340
a bit long winded when it
comes to telling the story as it's
1072
01:11:55,340 --> 01:11:59,030
my favorite story of all time
time. In the last couple of episodes
1073
01:11:59,030 --> 01:12:02,030
though, you've discussed how
couples have met in wow and even
1074
01:12:02,030 --> 01:12:07,190
shared a story of another
couple that wrote to you and has
1075
01:12:07,190 --> 01:12:11,270
inspired me to share my own
story with you guys Many years ago
1076
01:12:11,270 --> 01:12:15,430
in 2008, Azeroth was knee deep
in fighting the Burning Crusade and
1077
01:12:15,430 --> 01:12:18,590
we were in the final fight
against Kil' Jaeden at the Sunwell.
1078
01:12:18,990 --> 01:12:22,030
I was a guild leader of a
small casual raiding guild that was
1079
01:12:22,030 --> 01:12:26,320
nowhere near stepping foot in
the city unwell, but we had fun a
1080
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:30,080
couple days, a couple of days
each week, pushing Karazhan, the
1081
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:36,080
Eye Macton and etc. As I was
in my early 20s at the time and working
1082
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,720
during the day at my at a call
center, I would play in the evenings
1083
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:44,080
typically, but on one fateful
day my usual schedule was abruptly
1084
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,320
interrupted. I showed up to
work one morning only to get pulled
1085
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:53,060
off the call floor and laid
off from my job. I had worked there
1086
01:12:53,060 --> 01:12:57,940
for about three years and I
was devastated. I was sad and frustrated
1087
01:12:57,940 --> 01:13:01,860
and when I got home it wasn't
long until I hopped into wow. Just
1088
01:13:01,860 --> 01:13:06,020
looking to disconnect from the
stressful situation of losing my
1089
01:13:06,020 --> 01:13:11,980
job for a moment, I set out to
do my dailies on the Isle of Quel'danas.
1090
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:15,980
I started off with the quest
that sent me to an area just off
1091
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:19,760
to the right of the Zone Zone
into the Sunwell raid where I needed
1092
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:24,160
to kill 15 or so particular
blood elf mobs. If I recall, the
1093
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,760
zone was mostly empty as it
was fairly early in the day. However,
1094
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,360
there was an undead female
warlock in the same area that clearly
1095
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,360
was working on the same quest
that I'd set out to do. I soon found
1096
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,720
myself annoyingly in
competition for kills with this warlock.
1097
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,080
You may recall back then there
was no shared credit on corporation
1098
01:13:45,150 --> 01:13:50,310
quest kills for everyone who
tagged a mob. However, whoever damaged
1099
01:13:50,310 --> 01:13:53,710
it first got the credit for
themselves and anyone they were grouped
1100
01:13:53,710 --> 01:13:57,470
with. Normally I'm a pretty
friendly and outgoing guy and want
1101
01:13:57,470 --> 01:14:00,830
to believe that. Well, I would
just have invited the warlock to
1102
01:14:00,830 --> 01:14:05,230
join my group to get the quest
done quickly altogether. But you
1103
01:14:05,230 --> 01:14:09,150
see, I was having a rough day
and not feeling particularly social
1104
01:14:09,550 --> 01:14:14,000
Instead, I locked in and found
myself aggressively fighting with
1105
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,680
this warlock to tag mobs
first. I was playing a blood elf
1106
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,960
hunter and utilized my arcane
shot to tag the mobs first. I absolutely
1107
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,960
dominated the silent
competition we were in. No words
1108
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,920
were exchanged between the
warlock and I, but it wasn't long
1109
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,320
before I finished mounting up
and riding off to the next quest.
1110
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:36,280
But as I left the warlock in
the dust, it finally hit me. Guilt
1111
01:14:37,500 --> 01:14:41,540
all the way down to my stomach
and that voice in my head kicking
1112
01:14:41,540 --> 01:14:45,740
in saying this isn't you.
You're having a rough day, but this
1113
01:14:45,740 --> 01:14:50,060
isn't how you want to play
this game. Go back and make it right.
1114
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:55,180
So I sent the warlock a
whisper, apologized for trying and
1115
01:14:55,180 --> 01:14:58,580
succeeding to steal her kills,
and offered to come back and help
1116
01:14:58,580 --> 01:15:02,820
her finish the quest. She
accepted, we got the quest done for
1117
01:15:02,820 --> 01:15:06,380
her and went and then went on
to do all the rest of the dailies
1118
01:15:06,380 --> 01:15:10,300
on the island together. It
wasn't long till I let go of my stress
1119
01:15:10,300 --> 01:15:14,660
and found myself having fun
getting to know a new friend. I learned
1120
01:15:14,740 --> 01:15:18,820
that she had just recently hit
level 70 and had never raided before.
1121
01:15:19,540 --> 01:15:22,740
In fact, she claimed that she
had only joined a group with anyone
1122
01:15:22,740 --> 01:15:27,060
else once before for a dungeon
that didn't go great and made her
1123
01:15:27,060 --> 01:15:30,220
feel like maybe grouping with
people in this game wasn't really
1124
01:15:30,220 --> 01:15:33,680
for her. But being the
charming kid that I was back then,
1125
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,760
well, it wasn't hard to
convince her to give my guild of
1126
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,800
friendly adventurers a try so
she could have a better experience
1127
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,240
with grouping in the game. I
had no idea at the time that this
1128
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,400
event was a spark to a flame
that would grow into an absolute
1129
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,440
bonfire of life changing
events for us both. It's been nearly
1130
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:55,240
18 years since that day. I
still visit the Isle of Quel'danas
1131
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,600
from time to time and just sit
on the bridge near the area and reflect.
1132
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,400
Life has been a roller coaster
together, but I don't believe either
1133
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,720
one of us would change a thing
as we continue to love each other
1134
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,400
and the family we've built
together. Anyways, thanks for letting
1135
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,520
me share. I know it's a long
story, but I always enjoy an opportunity
1136
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,120
to share this with people. I
look forward to your content every
1137
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,680
week and appreciate all you're
doing for the community. Sincerely,
1138
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,240
Wreck Wow.
1139
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,790
Yeah, I. I don't know if it
was your reading of it or the content
1140
01:16:26,790 --> 01:16:36,630
that Rack sent us, but I'm
verklempt. Oh yeah, he has a topic
1141
01:16:36,630 --> 01:16:42,950
to discuss. The war in Bosnia.
Neither civil nor a war discuss.
1142
01:16:44,710 --> 01:16:49,720
Oh man, I love stories. Like
this. I love, love, love stories
1143
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,960
like this and that, you know,
it's crazy to think that you can
1144
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,120
write something like that.
That says 18 years since that day.
1145
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,760
That's how long this game's
been around. That's how long this
1146
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,600
game is impacting people and
that's how long and longer than that
1147
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,480
still that it, you know, like
people have grown to love it. That's
1148
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:13,040
why we're here, you know, we
love it. Yeah, it's just awesome
1149
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:14,880
that they've been.
Congratulations to them.
1150
01:17:15,300 --> 01:17:18,180
Yeah, yeah, they're, they're
doing good. I mean, that's the ultimate
1151
01:17:18,180 --> 01:17:20,340
quest, right? Oh, the ultimate quest.
1152
01:17:20,580 --> 01:17:21,060
Yeah.
1153
01:17:21,220 --> 01:17:26,300
You know, you meet an undead
warlock in, in game and all of a
1154
01:17:26,300 --> 01:17:31,940
sudden it just sparks. It's a
catalyst and true. You end up with
1155
01:17:31,940 --> 01:17:37,060
that person. They got a family
together still, just rocking it strong,
1156
01:17:37,460 --> 01:17:39,140
you know, with, with life.
1157
01:17:39,380 --> 01:17:41,270
The other quest is you marry
Jaina Proudmoore.
1158
01:17:41,820 --> 01:17:48,940
Yeah, buddy, that ship sailed
for me. Ship sailed for me. Oh, Jaina.
1159
01:17:48,940 --> 01:17:50,060
Oh, Jayna.
1160
01:17:50,380 --> 01:17:53,900
Yep. I love my wife. I love my
wife a lot.
1161
01:17:54,060 --> 01:17:58,260
I love my. Like, are you
repeating I love my wife. I love
1162
01:17:58,260 --> 01:17:59,460
my wife. I love my wife.
1163
01:17:59,460 --> 01:18:06,940
Is that reminding myself that
I love my wife? Certainly over a
1164
01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:11,660
cartoon character in a game,
but yes, friends, I freely admit
1165
01:18:11,660 --> 01:18:15,860
it, if there is any game
character that has my heart through
1166
01:18:15,860 --> 01:18:21,940
and through, it is Jaina
Proudmore and she's way above my
1167
01:18:21,940 --> 01:18:26,980
level. So never going to
happen. Okay, let's get back to rack.
1168
01:18:27,380 --> 01:18:31,380
Deeper Rack. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for sending this,
1169
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:33,980
this kind of story to us,
folks. If you have a story like this
1170
01:18:33,980 --> 01:18:37,850
as well, well, send it to us
because we love seeing this kind
1171
01:18:37,850 --> 01:18:40,570
of kind of stuff. And
honestly, if it doesn't make it in
1172
01:18:40,570 --> 01:18:45,490
the emails, it may make it in
the. I had to think of the name of
1173
01:18:45,490 --> 01:18:49,690
the segment. Forgot the name.
Heroes call board, but Hero Skullboard.
1174
01:18:49,690 --> 01:18:52,290
Right. That's one heck of a
story. I love it. I love it.
1175
01:18:52,370 --> 01:18:56,290
It is me too. And thank you
for, for sharing that with us. And
1176
01:18:56,290 --> 01:18:59,530
I wonder, I wonder if, like, I
want an update. Are you guys still
1177
01:18:59,530 --> 01:19:03,940
playing World of Warcraft
together? And I mean, hey, after
1178
01:19:04,180 --> 01:19:10,300
18 years, right, since that
day, your kiddos are maybe old enough
1179
01:19:10,300 --> 01:19:13,500
to start playing. I don't
know. I mean, there's got to be other
1180
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:16,460
people out there like me who
have been playing World of Warcraft
1181
01:19:16,460 --> 01:19:19,580
for a long, long time and
their kids are now playing World
1182
01:19:19,580 --> 01:19:23,220
of Warcraft, which is crazy.
Don't blink, take a lot of pictures
1183
01:19:23,380 --> 01:19:27,260
and kiss your damn kids
because that time goes by. So so
1184
01:19:27,260 --> 01:19:28,260
freaking fast.
1185
01:19:28,420 --> 01:19:28,980
Yep.
1186
01:19:29,060 --> 01:19:32,060
You know, that does. There'll
be a time where I start, you know,
1187
01:19:32,060 --> 01:19:34,860
measuring my daughter's age
off of World of Warcraft expansion
1188
01:19:34,860 --> 01:19:39,660
releases. She's. I mean,
Warcraft has been there for me the
1189
01:19:39,660 --> 01:19:40,260
whole time.
1190
01:19:40,340 --> 01:19:40,780
Yeah.
1191
01:19:40,780 --> 01:19:41,460
So why not?
1192
01:19:41,620 --> 01:19:45,460
Yeah, yeah. You know, I know
I. We kind of said earlier, but stuff
1193
01:19:45,460 --> 01:19:47,180
like this, that makes me look
forward to connecting with these
1194
01:19:47,180 --> 01:19:50,180
people, you know, and, and
connecting with all of you listeners
1195
01:19:50,180 --> 01:19:53,570
in a way that's. That is
people that you can relate with and
1196
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:58,040
people that, you know, that,
that come from all, all over, like
1197
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,760
Azerothians from literally all
over the world to bring everybody
1198
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:05,400
together. And I would love to
chat with Rack. That's. That's awesome.
1199
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:10,320
Yeah. Yeah, I certainly would.
And if you're a player from. You're
1200
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:14,760

One stat from Kazakhstan.
That's all I'm asking. It's not much.

to visit download our show just once.

Yeah, I mean all the we do is

And good Tuesday morning
everybody. Welcome. This is Azeroth
2
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:58,220
Morning Radio.
3
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,320
Can I interest you in a new
leg? Well, you want one?
4
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Where the hell did that one
come from?
5
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,280
It's a mechanome. I don't
know, it's one of their. Greetings.
6
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:11,920
I love it.
7
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Yeah, that makes sense.
8
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Folks, it's
episode 15 and we are your hosts.
9
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,440
My name is Jibs. I'm joined by
my better half. He hails as literally
10
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,640
the worst Jacuzzi maker on
this side of Doorknob. His name is
11
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Cash.
12
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,840
No, he's the best one because
I am running that auction house right
13
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240
now with my dwarven Jacuzzi.
14
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,760
I love that. It's awesome.
15
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Yeah, Very excited. Hey,
buddy. Happy New Year.
16
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Yes. You caught me off guard.
Yes. Sorrows mid drink. Happy New
17
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Year. Woo.
18
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Happy New Year to everybody
out there. Yeah, it's a new year.
19
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,840
It's a new you.
20
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,670
That's right. 2995. Five easy payments.
21
00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:57,070
You too can have a life coach.
22
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:00,990
You too can have a Goblin life coach.
23
00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:03,390
Yeah, you can't afford me.
24
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:05,350
Oh, how's it going, buddy?
25
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:08,910
It's going good, man. I have.
I've had one hell of a week in World
26
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:10,750
of Warcraft. Yeah, I gotta
tell you.
27
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:11,550
Go on.
28
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:17,390
Yeah. So I was getting ready
to kind of sew some things up because
29
00:02:17,390 --> 00:02:22,350
pre patch is coming soon and I
figured, you know, I probably should
30
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:27,470
take a look at that War within
Meta achievement and see the things
31
00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:31,310
that I. That I can finish up
because I probably have maybe one
32
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:36,470
or two things to finish up.
Not the case, buddy. Not the case.
33
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:41,230
I had a bunch of stuff to do
and I thought. I thought I'd been
34
00:02:41,230 --> 00:02:46,350
playing enough World of
Warcraft to be close, but man, when
35
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:49,310
you look at that list of
achievements for the meta achievement,
36
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:53,360
it's gnarly. Yeah, tons of
stuff. So I quickly figured, I started
37
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,520
working on it and then I
quickly figured I was gonna be a
38
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,840
long haul to complete. So I
looked at some other things that
39
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,160
I could do in particular, one
of which I wanted to do because of
40
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,200
the title you get for it and
it's such a cool title. And this
41
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,920
particular event is defeating
Kyveza. And I know. You know. You
42
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,000
know what? I know that you
know that. You know that. I know
43
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,640
what I know.
44
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,080
Wait, you both tried to kill
her? Are you nuts? She's psychotic.
45
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,159
Because we tried to do this
together with a group last night.
46
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:34,920
So if you don't know what this
is, this is a delve achievement that
47
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,840
you get for killing Kaiveza
solo or you kill her. You know, she's
48
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,960
just a boss, basically, and
you have to go in there and kill
49
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,920
her. And you can do it either
on a single question mark difficulty
50
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,680
or a double question mark
difficulty. And I guess you can say
51
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,200
as a group, we learned. We
learned how difficult.
52
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Oh, yeah.
53
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,120
It is to kill her on double
question mark. Now, granted, it scales
54
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,680
when you're in a group. So I
think after, I don't know, maybe
55
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:13,220
40 wipes. Maybe 40 wipes.
56
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:15,060
Do you think it was a lot of death?
57
00:04:15,860 --> 00:04:19,460
It was expensive, I'll tell
you that much. Maybe after about
58
00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:22,820
40 wipes or so, we. We kind of
all were like, yeah, I don't think
59
00:04:22,820 --> 00:04:24,340
this is going to happen. But
we started to figure out some of
60
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:27,900
the mechanics. We watched a
video and very difficult to do in
61
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:32,260
a group. But we kind of all
went our separate ways and made significantly
62
00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:37,160
more progress doing it solo.
Once you kind of know the mechanics.
63
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,680
I actually went through and
finished it on the single question
64
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,760
mark last night. I was able to
get that one and I felt significantly
65
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,480
better moving into the double
question mark but did not get to.
66
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,880
To clear it. And the reason
being that I wanted. That we wanted
67
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,160
to do that we started talking
about it was that you get the title
68
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,640
of Contract Killer.
69
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:00,600
Yeah.
70
00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:04,910
Which is such a great. That's
one of the better titles that I've
71
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:05,870
heard in Warcraft.
72
00:05:05,950 --> 00:05:09,670
Yeah. Easily hands down,
without a doubt. I tell you what,
73
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:12,550
if there's. There's a real
part of me that's kind of missing
74
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:16,070
a male. A melee class just a
little bit. I'm feeling it, I'm feeling
75
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:19,470
it. I know it's there. It's
like bubbling under the surface.
76
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:22,350
I'm missing. I'm getting an
itch to play some kind of melee,
77
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:26,070
trying to fight it. Moment I
saw that Contract Killer title and
78
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:32,780
was like, oh, man, that is a
title of titles for a rogue if I've
79
00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:33,540
ever seen one.
80
00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:36,420
It is. It is the ultimate
title for rogue. And it's funny that
81
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,780
you said that because I was
like, you know, I'm gonna concentrate
82
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:42,340
on this until pre patch. Oh, I
think I'm gonna do it because it
83
00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:48,740
goes away in pre patch. But I
have. I've done very difficult achievements
84
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:52,020
like this before. And it's not
that I'm a good player. It's just
85
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:58,960
that I am a creature of
repetition. So if I focus on it and
86
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,080
I do it over and over and over
and over again, eventually I might
87
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,920
get it. But this one's really
hard. Do you remember doing in Elder
88
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Scrolls Online? Maelstrom Arena.
89
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Never forget it.
90
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,480
So challenging. It's a solo
experience and you get really good
91
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,080
drops out of this thing, but
it is incredibly difficult. Very
92
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,030
mechanics heavy. And it took
me weeks to get it and then I was
93
00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:30,030
able to eventually go get it
on. On veteran mode in that game,
94
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:34,030
which was very difficult. But
I see this a lot like that. These
95
00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:34,590
challenges.
96
00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:38,310
Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Nice pull.
Yeah. And you know what? I. Unless
97
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:40,870
there's, you know, I'm. I'm
totally doing this off the cuff.
98
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:43,830
So there may be stuff like
this already in the game. It's stuff
99
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:46,950
like that. Like that Maelstrom
arena, you know, like you talk about,
100
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:49,530
it's like. And for those who
don't know, it's like what Cash said.
101
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:53,610
It's mechanic heavy. Think of
it like quote unquote rounds, rounded
102
00:06:53,770 --> 00:06:57,450
rounds of combat. And each
stage is a different mechanic you're
103
00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:59,530
having to deal with. And
you're kind of going up the ladder.
104
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:04,970
Everything from like circular,
like chainsaws rotating around the
105
00:07:04,970 --> 00:07:07,490
room. It's just like kind of
like raid mechanics. But you're doing
106
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:10,210
it solo. I would love to see
something like that in Warcraft.
107
00:07:10,210 --> 00:07:14,900
I mean, be honest with you,
but I tell you. Yeah. That lady,
108
00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:20,100
you know, like when we. I'm
not. I'm not a huge fan of Bran at
109
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:22,660
this point and mainly because
too much of a good thing is a bad
110
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:26,500
thing. You know what I mean?
And so when we go in there and even
111
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,340
brands, like. And he says,
literally says this, hey, are you
112
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:30,580
sure this is a good idea?
113
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:36,380
Yeah, like this is a bad idea.
Yeah, it is. And you know, like he
114
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:37,540
taunts you when you die.
115
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:38,020
Yeah.
116
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:43,260
Well, I'm okay with that in
Delves because I don't die in Delves
117
00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:49,860
very much. But this one is
like every 45 seconds he's telling
118
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,180
you about how you need a
better strategy. And I'm like, dude,
119
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:58,620
I am about to backhand a bee
if you say that one more time. The
120
00:07:58,620 --> 00:07:59,460
other thing he was doing was.
121
00:07:59,460 --> 00:08:02,860
He was all bugged out so, like
we wouldn't even be in there to initiate
122
00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:06,780
the start of this. This fight.
And he just takes off.
123
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:07,750
Yeah.
124
00:08:07,750 --> 00:08:11,390
And beelines in there for
whatever reason and does it.
125
00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:12,990
Yeah. Who knew he was a demon hunter?
126
00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:18,750
Yeah, right. Oh, gosh, that
should be the name of the episode.
127
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:22,230
Brain the Demon Hunter. Oh my
gosh. Yeah, I tell you. But yeah,
128
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:28,070
that was crazy. That was fun.
And that is, man, I saw. It's funny
129
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:32,110
you bring this up because this
morning before I started my day long
130
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:35,760
adventure in my Warcraft
duties, there was a guy just standing
131
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,320
right there and I'm pretty
sure was a rogue contract killer.
132
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,600
I'm just like, oh, oh, cool.
133
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,920
Yeah. So anyway, folks, if you
see that title around town, that
134
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,360
is mad respect for the person
that is rocking that title because
135
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:59,320
she is not easy to kill on
double question marks. And just go
136
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,480
in there and just try it for
the laugh. Even if you don't want
137
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,450
to get the achievement. Try it
for the laugh because as soon as
138
00:09:05,450 --> 00:09:09,610
you aggro her, as you start
learning the mechanics, you will
139
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:14,570
be dead in about two seconds
flat. Everything she does, if she
140
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:15,810
hits you is a one shot.
141
00:09:15,810 --> 00:09:18,090
It's one of those things where
it's like, I almost feel like if
142
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:22,090
I was 20 years younger, way
more twitchy, you know, way more
143
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:25,570
like fpsy than I like I used
to be back in the day. I feel like
144
00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:29,530
I may have a good chance, a
really good chance. But I tell you
145
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:33,990
what, dude, you're having to
mate make split second decisions
146
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:35,870
and I'm like, this is not
casual friendly.
147
00:09:36,190 --> 00:09:38,790
Like, yeah, oh, it's
definitely not casual friendly.
148
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:40,750
Oh my gosh. No, it's crazy.
149
00:09:41,470 --> 00:09:46,070
Yeah, you have to snort a line
of coke and smoke some meth and then
150
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:50,150
go do it. Don't do those
things. Don't do those things. This
151
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:52,710
is a family show and those
things are bad. Okay?
152
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:54,430
AMR does not condone drug use.
153
00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:57,110
What have you been up to, buddy?
154
00:09:57,420 --> 00:10:01,340
That's been a busy week. I
finished Blood Ties from Christy
155
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:03,860
Golden. I finished the book
last night. I couldn't put it down.
156
00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:07,820
I'm like, I need to. I need to
finish this. Oh, man. I'm not gonna
157
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:11,020
give any spoilers, but well
done, Christy. Well done. You did.
158
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:14,340
You crushed it. You crushed it
in my heart. It was good. It was
159
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:20,380
good. And then let's see what
else? Oh, I made around 300k ish
160
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:23,760
in gold this week. It was
either 2 to 300k in gold. It was
161
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,680
a lot. It was a lot of gold.
The markets kind of recovered and
162
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,000
then.
163
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,520
That's dirty, buddy. That is
dirty money right there.
164
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200
Yeah, it was pretty
profitable. But like, as. As everything
165
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,560
was going well, people just
gutted the market just because they
166
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,480
keep putting things under, you
know, like it spoiler, folks, you
167
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,360
don't have to Adjust the coin
literally at all. Like you literally
168
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600
just put it up and it'll put
you at the lead and then everyone
169
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,850
walks away with more money.
You know what I mean? Like, everyone's
170
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:53,930
going to make more, but people
just keep gutting it. And it became
171
00:10:53,930 --> 00:10:56,370
to a. It got. It's gotten to a
point where it's just not recoverable
172
00:10:56,370 --> 00:11:01,490
at this point. And so I'm. I'm
earning every bit of 3 to 4,000 less
173
00:11:01,490 --> 00:11:05,250
on a single item now. But
anyway, I did that. Oh, and then
174
00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:09,090
today I got a burr up my butt
and made a add on in World of Warcraft
175
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:12,690
that's as of right now,
pending on Curse Forge.
176
00:11:13,330 --> 00:11:17,980
Oh, okay. That you might have
led with that.
177
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:25,500
Let me, let me rephrase that.
Me and Chat GPT spent the eight solid
178
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,900
hours together
troubleshooting, designing, and working
179
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:33,620
through an add on that is.
That is pending right now, as of
180
00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:34,060
right now.
181
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:39,940
So. Okay, again, we're gonna
leave it there or you're gonna. What
182
00:11:39,940 --> 00:11:40,460
is it?
183
00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:46,920
All right, so it's funny that
Cash brings up Eso because that was
184
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
kind of our bread and butter
for many years before many other
185
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,000
things. And there's a feature
in that game that allows you to lock
186
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,360
an armor piece so you don't
accidentally sell it, you don't actually
187
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760
vendor it. You know, you don't
miss click, whatever. And I've always
188
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800
wanted something like that.
And today I was just sitting there,
189
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,240
I'm like, you know what? I've
heard of people designing, like using
190
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,800
CO AI for coding before. I'm
like, screw it, let's go do it. Let's
191
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,720
just go see what happened.
8:30 in the morning. Okay. It's 8:30
192
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,000
in the morning and it finished
till 3:45 in the afternoon. But anyway,
193
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,120
so. So I started and it is
called set lock. It's all one word.
194
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,360
And essentially what it does
is if you have any, if you have any
195
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,440
items set up in your equipment
manager as a set. So I always run.
196
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,070
I have a PvE set for when I'm
PvEing and if I'm PvPing, I have
197
00:12:38,070 --> 00:12:40,910
a PvP set. So both of those
things are always like one of those
198
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:44,310
items. Sets of items are just
sitting in my bags. Right. And you
199
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:46,870
always have to be cognizant
of, oh, I don't want to delete this
200
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:51,710
or that sort of thing. Right.
Well, what my add on does. This is
201
00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:55,710
crazy. I'm even saying that
out loud is it will gray out those
202
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:59,470
items that are part of an
equipment set that you've made in
203
00:12:59,470 --> 00:13:04,070
your inventory. So you can no
longer, if you are in a vendor, if
204
00:13:04,070 --> 00:13:07,790
you mouse over that item, it
will not even let you sell it. It
205
00:13:07,790 --> 00:13:12,790
holds it there and so it
basically protects you from selling
206
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:16,390
your items and you no longer
have to worry literally ever about
207
00:13:16,390 --> 00:13:20,230
it. It's like a set it and
forget it legitimately. Now, there
208
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:24,470
are a few issues. Like when
you come out of an instance, I found
209
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:28,830
your items will not be grayed
out for you. So it's like you have
210
00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:31,390
to swap your set back and
forth. So that's obviously something
211
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:35,160
I have to get updated. And
then there's a few other things.
212
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,640
I. I took off the mini map
button because it was proving too
213
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,960
difficult to get the image and
the icon correct. So you literally
214
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360
just type slash set lock and
it enables it and that's honestly
215
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,360
all you need. And oh, the
other thing is that if it's in, if
216
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,000
however, it locks your items
in your inventory, like that's where
217
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,360
they're locked forever. Unless
you like turn the add on. So unless
218
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,170
you turn it off, like de.
Enable it or turn it up, whatever
219
00:14:01,170 --> 00:14:04,930
the right term is. So slash
set, lock and then turns. It turns
220
00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:07,250
itself off and then you can
move those great items around, but
221
00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:10,610
it legitimately will lock
those in your inventory, so you no
222
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:13,730
longer have to worry about
stuff. Which is great. It takes a
223
00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:17,130
load off my shoulders because
I'm always scared, always nervous.
224
00:14:17,450 --> 00:14:21,170
Yes, it lists on the tooltip,
like equipment set, you know, and
225
00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:24,130
then whatever you have it
listed as. But I've always felt like
226
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:26,940
that should be. That's
something that Eso did that I would
227
00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:29,780
love to see Warcraft do
because it makes sense in a big,
228
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:33,580
big way. And honestly have
equipment bags that are just your.
229
00:14:33,580 --> 00:14:36,260
Your sets or within bags
themselves that are not a part of
230
00:14:36,260 --> 00:14:38,620
your main inventory. I would
love to see them add that. But anyway,
231
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:40,380
this is kind of like a band
aid on that problem and.
232
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:45,620
It works so very interesting.
And this is, this is live and new
233
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:50,820
news to me friends, because
I've had a very busy few days at
234
00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:54,180
work and have not been able to
really talk to dibs very much so.
235
00:14:54,620 --> 00:14:58,500
Had no idea this was happening
other than just a quick mention of
236
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:01,220
it and I was like, oh, cool,
you're trying to figure out add ons.
237
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:01,580
Neat.
238
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:05,980
And then blamo. Yeah, it's
there, it's on Curse Forge.
239
00:15:05,980 --> 00:15:09,620
Yeah, hopefully they approve
it. Yeah, I'm just kind of waiting
240
00:15:09,620 --> 00:15:14,260
at this point. But again, it
is set lock all one word. So give
241
00:15:14,260 --> 00:15:17,780
it a try. Of course I'm
looking for Feedback. I'm not a coder.
242
00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:20,660
I'm trying to learn like this
as long as I troubleshoot because
243
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:24,450
I, you know, in editing code
and stuff. But yeah, hopefully it
244
00:15:24,450 --> 00:15:27,890
helps a lot of people. But
anyway, well done, bud. Thank you.
245
00:15:28,050 --> 00:15:30,730
Thank you. Well, this week on
the show, folks, we have a hero's
246
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:34,650
call that returns with
hilarious new content creators we
247
00:15:34,650 --> 00:15:39,090
think you might enjoy.
Introduce you to our brand spanking
248
00:15:39,090 --> 00:15:43,970
new AMR for 2026, which
includes lore lessons that's starting
249
00:15:43,970 --> 00:15:48,530
up today. We prep you for the
January 20th pre patch in AMR style
250
00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:54,660
and we help guide you in WoW
with your emails and so much more.
251
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:59,100
But before we get to the
commercial break, folks, we need
252
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,140
to have a sit down because
there's something you need to know
253
00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:04,460
about. So we talked about Lore
lessons, right? Well, before we get
254
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:07,460
rolling, we want to take a
quick second to introduce something
255
00:16:07,460 --> 00:16:10,580
that's new that we're really
excited about here, which we've already
256
00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:14,460
said and that is Lore lessons.
And before anyone panics, no, this
257
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:17,460
is not turning into a Lore
show. No, it's not turning into a
258
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:20,420
seven hour Lore lecture
podcast at all.
259
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:24,900
Friends, I think the message
that we were trying to deliver during
260
00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:30,980
our late watch show last week
was that we are storytellers at heart
261
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:36,860
and we really have always been
there in loving to bring the story
262
00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:41,940
of your game to you. So
whether it's news characters or strange
263
00:16:42,020 --> 00:16:47,840
goblin things, we absolutely
love the stories of Warcraft. But
264
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,520
we also know that there's
something that is very, very important
265
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,720
that we've learned through
trial and error over the years. A
266
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,400
lot of people are either not
interested or do not have time for
267
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,200
deep dives or multi hour lore
breakdowns. So we're not going to
268
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,480
do that to you. So the way
that we've designed our Lore lessons
269
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:15,770
is they are short, focused and
tell a story in a cinematic way that
270
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:20,810
hopefully brings the story to
life for you. We are calling that
271
00:17:20,810 --> 00:17:26,010
Drive by Lore. We're giving
you the good stuff without the homework.
272
00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:29,970
So the way we're going to do
it is we're going to start this at
273
00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:33,450
the very beginning of the
Warcraft timeline. We're not starting
274
00:17:33,610 --> 00:17:38,620
at expansions, we're not
starting with factions. We are starting
275
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:44,580
at Creation, the Light, the
Void, and the stuff that everything
276
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:47,140
in Azeroth is built upon.
277
00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:50,100
Yeah. So each episode is going
to be designed like Kesh said, I
278
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,460
mean, easy to follow. Even if
lore isn't your thing. You don't
279
00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:56,060
need to know names, you don't
need a wiki open so you can Just
280
00:17:56,060 --> 00:17:59,700
literally sit back and relax
and enjoy yourself. But most importantly,
281
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:03,780
we're making these because we
genuinely love doing it. And this
282
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:07,570
is the kind of thing we want
to hear your comments on, you know,
283
00:18:07,570 --> 00:18:08,970
like, while you're making coffee.
284
00:18:09,050 --> 00:18:11,810
So it doesn't matter if you're
a Lore nerd. It doesn't matter if
285
00:18:11,810 --> 00:18:16,010
you're just somebody who wants
to understand why Azeroth is the
286
00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:21,970
way it is. Here we go. We hope
you enjoy this as much as we've enjoyed
287
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:28,250
creating it. So, as every good
teacher says. All right, class, let's
288
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:28,650
begin.
289
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Welcome, traveler. Every tale
has a beginning. But ours begins
290
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,440
before beginnings were even
possible. Before stars, before worlds,
291
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:53,880
before the idea of life could
take shape. There were only two forces.
292
00:18:54,680 --> 00:19:00,240
The light, a radiant expanse
of warmth and purpose, endlessly
293
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,240
stretching, endlessly
building. It was creation in its
294
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:14,080
purest form. Order without
restraint. And opposing it. The void,
295
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Cold, hungry, infinite in its
own way. A realm of shadow that whispered
296
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,100
possibilities and devoured
certainty. Where the light sought
297
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:36,900
to define, the void sought to
unravel. These forces did not simply
298
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:43,020
clash. They danced. Their
collisions birthed the first sparks
299
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:47,900
of reality. Pockets were
neither light nor void, fully dominated.
300
00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:53,590
And in these rare forms,
fragile spaces, the great dark beyond
301
00:19:54,230 --> 00:20:04,230
took shape. Within this vast
new expanse, storms of matter swirled.
302
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:10,310
Worlds formed and shattered.
Magic pooled into rivers of raw possibility.
303
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:17,200
And somewhere amid the chaos,
something unexpected began to stir.
304
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:24,400
World Souls unborn, Titans
slumbering within the hearts of planets,
305
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,040
absorbing the energies of
creation. Each one a cosmic giant,
306
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:38,080
waiting to awaken beings
destined to shape existence itself.
307
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:47,680
Most slept for eons, but
eventually one opened his eyes. A
308
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:54,320
presence, vast and aware. A
Titan rising from his cradle of stone
309
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,360
and starlight, gazing into the
endless dark and realizing he was
310
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:09,080
utterly, profoundly alone.
This was Aman', Thul, the first to
311
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,280
awaken, the one who would
serve. Search the cosmos for others
312
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,640
like him, and in doing so,
give birth to the Titan pantheon.
313
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,520
But that traveler is a story
of its own. On our next lore lesson,
314
00:20:34,110 --> 00:21:12,397
we leave. The sweeping canvas
of creation and focus on the Titan
315
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:23,512
who stood at its center, the
High Father himself.
316
00:21:40,690 --> 00:21:45,090
All right, welcome back,
everybody. Hope you enjoyed that
317
00:21:45,090 --> 00:21:48,850
first lore lesson. That was
fun. Did a good job on that.
318
00:21:49,410 --> 00:21:54,210
You wait with bated breath to
see if people liked it or not.
319
00:21:54,210 --> 00:21:59,650
We'll find out. Four days. Oh,
gosh. Well, folks, let's get started
320
00:21:59,650 --> 00:22:01,250
with the hero's call.
321
00:22:03,650 --> 00:22:08,350
Heroes call. Exciting week in
Azeroth, friends. And part of the
322
00:22:08,350 --> 00:22:13,030
reason why is because Kash has
found his very favorite New World
323
00:22:13,030 --> 00:22:18,670
of Warcraft parody channel on
pretty much Everything that's out
324
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:23,270
there. I have found this
creator on pretty much everything.
325
00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:31,760
YouTube, Instagram, Facebook,
X. The name of this genius of a content
326
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,680
creator is Baron's Boys. And
if you have not found Baron's Boys,
327
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:43,120
do yourself a freaking favor.
He is hilarious with what he is building.
328
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,960
So it's described. Baron Boys
is described as too hard. One camera
329
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,960
in Azeroth and a Warcraft fan
comedy. Jibs is already laughing
330
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,080
because these are amazing, you
guys. So the whole premise of this
331
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:04,400
thing is a troll rogue. Not a
very good troll rogue and not very.
332
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:11,360
Not much bravado in this
rogue, but my gosh, you experience
333
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,360
this troll rogue's exploits in
Azeroth with his buddies. One of
334
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,080
them is an undead warlock
named Dennis. And there's an orc.
335
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,090
It looks like an orc warrior
named Frank. Absolutely hilarious.
336
00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:30,890
It's fully AI created, live
action. So it looks super crisp.
337
00:23:30,890 --> 00:23:37,210
It look, it's very, very well
done. But they're live action reels
338
00:23:37,210 --> 00:23:40,290
and they're like I was talking
about, they're on, you know, just
339
00:23:40,290 --> 00:23:44,650
about every social media
outlet there is, but insanely funny,
340
00:23:44,650 --> 00:23:49,420
very creative. I think that
what, what I notice right off the
341
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:51,620
bat and what I think Warcraft
players are going to notice right
342
00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:55,700
off the bat, instant
recognition of the humor. Small little
343
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:59,700
Easter eggs in there. Things
that only a Warcraft player would
344
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:05,180
recognize and appreciate. The
Jamaican accent on the troll Rogue
345
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:13,060
is so on point and I say this
because I have for almost my entire
346
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:20,300
life been a massive reggae
fan. So I've heard Rastafarians speak
347
00:24:20,540 --> 00:24:24,580
like right in front of me when
I would go to shows, still go to
348
00:24:24,580 --> 00:24:30,780
shows with buddies. And my
gosh, it is absolutely uncanny this.
349
00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:36,860
The Jamaican accent and just
the verbiage that is used is so troll
350
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:40,860
and it's so Jamaican. It's
just fantastic. If you watch World
351
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:43,910
of Warcraft content out there,
I'm sure you have seen many, many
352
00:24:43,910 --> 00:24:47,950
memes and many channels out
there that are super slapstick when
353
00:24:47,950 --> 00:24:53,510
it comes to Warcraft, but I'm
telling you, this one is a 100% must
354
00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:57,790
watch some of the things that
really drove me to becoming a true
355
00:24:57,790 --> 00:25:00,910
fan of this guy. He will
answer all of his comments to his
356
00:25:00,910 --> 00:25:06,350
videos with Rastafarian tone
and accent. You can read it in what
357
00:25:06,350 --> 00:25:12,340
he's writing and it is just so
damn good. Baron's Boys, I don't
358
00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:15,340
know if it's just one of you,
I don't know if it's a team of you
359
00:25:15,340 --> 00:25:21,220
that is doing this, but
insanely ingenious. And I absolutely
360
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:25,500
Love it. You cannot appreciate
it until you look this up. It's fantastic.
361
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:29,980
Please keep it going because
it brings a smile to my face every
362
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:35,620
time a new video comes up. You
can see all their stuff and you can
363
00:25:35,620 --> 00:25:38,840
even throw them a tip at their
website, in their. At their link
364
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,680
tree, at any one of these
social media outlets. You can. You
365
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,960
can see that. And I. There's
also a Discord community from what
366
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,400
I understand. So I know we're
going to reach out. It's just fantastic.
367
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,360
I wanted to make sure that you
guys knew this 100% heroes call board
368
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:57,600
stuff because this is a
community creation that is just so
369
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,240
dang good.
370
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,000
Yeah. They have 14,000
subscribers already. Their most recent
371
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,160
reel is 31,000 views. It's so funny.
372
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,450
He's blowing up and he knows
what he's got. Like he has comedic
373
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:15,810
gold. So please, if we can, if
we can have our folks. I want this
374
00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:19,770
guy to blow up because he
needs to. He's doing such great work.
375
00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:21,450
I love it. That's awesome.
376
00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:21,890
Yeah.
377
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:25,289
Yeah. I can't wait to see
stuff like that. Can't wait indeed.
378
00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:28,890
See. See more stuff like that.
So I should say, because it's hilarious,
379
00:26:29,690 --> 00:26:30,370
it's very good.
380
00:26:30,370 --> 00:26:34,290
Okay, second thing for Heroes.
Heroes Call Board Jibs pointed a
381
00:26:34,290 --> 00:26:38,410
video out to me this week and
I watched it and absolutely fell
382
00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:42,130
in love with it because it was
super, super funny. Another. Another
383
00:26:42,290 --> 00:26:47,330
hilarious content creator out
there. So this one is a video on
384
00:26:47,330 --> 00:26:52,690
YouTube entitled the Most
Popular Faction Race Class and Specs
385
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:57,170
Going Into Midnight. And it's
created by Steven Herro. I'm pretty
386
00:26:57,170 --> 00:27:00,290
sure it's Steven Hero. If it's
Stefan Hero, then I apologize, but
387
00:27:00,290 --> 00:27:07,910
it's S T E P H E N Hero. Now,
in short, this was a ton of research
388
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:12,310
done to find out what's hot
and what's not in retail World of
389
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:18,950
Warcraft. So a ton of sources
were used here by Stephen and those
390
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:23,430
included Warcraft logs, MMO
populations, WoW, Meta Raider IO
391
00:27:23,910 --> 00:27:27,110
and a whole bunch of other
analysis from Wowhead and Reddit.
392
00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:31,790
He also used Raid logs, Mythic
participation, achievement tracking,
393
00:27:31,790 --> 00:27:35,780
character creation, stat
stats, etc. Sounds like a massive
394
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:40,020
project because Blizzard holds
a lot of these numbers close to their
395
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:44,740
chest. But there's. There's
an. You people have the ability to
396
00:27:44,740 --> 00:27:47,140
go out and get some of this
information and this gentleman did.
397
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:51,660
So it really makes it a lot of
fun. So we're going to go through
398
00:27:51,660 --> 00:27:55,140
some stats here that I loved.
He does it in a super comedic way,
399
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:58,620
which again, if you're a World
of Warcraft player, And you have
400
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:02,250
been for some time. You'll get
a lot of his humor with this stuff.
401
00:28:03,210 --> 00:28:09,370
So, top factions now, where
historically it has been the Horde
402
00:28:09,370 --> 00:28:13,890
dominating player populations.
The overall stats in competitive
403
00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:19,450
PvP and PvE suggest that the
alliance is on the rise.
404
00:28:19,450 --> 00:28:20,170
Jibs.
405
00:28:20,250 --> 00:28:24,890
No kidding, dude. We have
percentages. Do they give U.S. percentages?
406
00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:29,060
57% alliance, 43% horde.
407
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:32,340
What? You know why that is?
I'll tell you why that is. This is.
408
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:35,220
This is me being Jada for a
minute. Because, yeah, it's always
409
00:28:35,220 --> 00:28:38,620
been Horde. I bet you it's
because Shadow Meld's racial has
410
00:28:38,620 --> 00:28:42,340
been grown so popular over the
PvP crowd the last probably what,
411
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:43,220
like two years now?
412
00:28:43,780 --> 00:28:48,180
Yeah, it has. I'm not gonna.
You can't deny it. That Shadow Meld
413
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:49,820
is freaking priceless.
414
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:50,340
Amazing.
415
00:28:50,340 --> 00:28:53,690
And yeah, it's. It's amazing.
So if you don't know what Shadow
416
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:57,330
Meld is. Friends. It is a
Night Elf ability that basically
417
00:28:57,330 --> 00:29:01,290
allows you to go into stealth
even when you're in combat and drop
418
00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:06,730
threat. Like, it's. It's
pretty. I don't want to say overpowered.
419
00:29:07,610 --> 00:29:11,570
It's amazing. So. And that's
probably why there's so many Night
420
00:29:11,570 --> 00:29:13,290
Elves that are out there as well.
421
00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:14,130
Honestly, it's cool.
422
00:29:14,130 --> 00:29:17,670
But then like, if you move,
you lose it. But it's still. It's
423
00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:18,950
an excellent racial.
424
00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:21,550
Yeah. Yeah, I think it's
awesome. To be honest with you. I
425
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:24,190
love cool racials on any of
the races and so, yeah, I wouldn't
426
00:29:24,190 --> 00:29:26,390
be shocked if that's part of
the reason why.
427
00:29:26,790 --> 00:29:33,670
Okay, more stats. What do you
think the most played race in 2025
428
00:29:33,670 --> 00:29:33,990
was?
429
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:34,710
Night Elf.
430
00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:41,590
Good guess, but wrong. Believe
it or not, contrary to our last stat,
431
00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:42,390
Blood Elves.
432
00:29:43,170 --> 00:29:43,410
Really?
433
00:29:44,290 --> 00:29:49,010
Yes. Blood Elves are the
hottest player race out there. It's
434
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:50,290
probably because they're so
damn good looking.
435
00:29:50,850 --> 00:29:54,290
That's interesting. I wonder
why that is. I would never have expected
436
00:29:54,290 --> 00:29:56,850
Blood Elves. I mean, clearly
it should have been Kul Tirans, but
437
00:29:56,850 --> 00:29:58,090
you know, Blood Elves, I get it.
438
00:29:58,090 --> 00:30:00,690
You know, Kaltarians are
linebackers. Blood Elves are just
439
00:30:00,690 --> 00:30:02,610
really, really, really,
really, really good looking.
440
00:30:02,690 --> 00:30:05,010
That's true. Ridiculously good looking.
441
00:30:05,810 --> 00:30:10,620
Okay, this one might be a
little easier. The least played race.
442
00:30:10,860 --> 00:30:11,580
Earthen.
443
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:17,340
Yeah. Well, yeah, they're a
little tough to look at and talk
444
00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:17,740
to.
445
00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:21,660
Wow.
446
00:30:24,219 --> 00:30:34,950
That was incredibly earthest.
Oh, yes. So between the Earthen and
447
00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:38,390
the mechanisms, those are the
least played.
448
00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:41,750
Are you serious? That was a
joke. There really are that low.
449
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:43,510
The newest race is that low.
450
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:49,750
Like in the. In. In the 10 in
the tens of percentage points.
451
00:30:49,910 --> 00:30:55,150
Holy cow. Wow. Yeah, I. I'll
be honest. I was never really, like.
452
00:30:55,150 --> 00:30:58,310
I thought they were cool going
into it, but the more I got into
453
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,200
the expansion, less and less,
I just felt like I connected with
454
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,920
them. Like, on a personal
level, I'm just like, yeah, I think
455
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,720
I'm good. I wonder if other
people felt the same way. I did not
456
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,680
see that coming.
457
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,240
Turns out most people feel
that way.
458
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Wow.
459
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Okay, give me a ratio. I want
to know how many people you think
460
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,560
play tank versus DPS.
461
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,880
Oh, gosh. It is easily 75%
DPS, if not more.
462
00:31:25,270 --> 00:31:25,510
Close.
463
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:26,550
80.
464
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:28,870
One tank for every 10 DPS.
465
00:31:30,390 --> 00:31:34,070
That tracks. That tracks. You
know that tracks 100%.
466
00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:40,150
Yep, it totally tracks. Okay,
so. So here's. Here's another one.
467
00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:46,630
The most popular allied race
on Alliance Realms, more than some
468
00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:51,430
core races are Void Elves.
Most popular allied race.
469
00:31:52,030 --> 00:31:54,110
Okay, I can see that. I could
see that.
470
00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:57,310
Yeah. Well, this is on
Alliance Realms, so.
471
00:31:57,310 --> 00:31:59,710
Yeah, I'm not shocked by that.
They have great racials.
472
00:32:00,030 --> 00:32:07,350
Okay, so meta realms. Top race
for the meta realms are trolls, due
473
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:10,870
to their berserking racial
ability, which is also very.
474
00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:11,870
Okay. Yeah.
475
00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:13,790
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
476
00:32:13,870 --> 00:32:14,350
Yeah.
477
00:32:14,510 --> 00:32:21,160
Everybody love a troll
brother. Okay, what do you feel is
478
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,720
consistently the most played
alliance race on US Realms?
479
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:28,440
Human.
480
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,360
Nailed it.
481
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800
Yeah. Yeah, that tracks.
482
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:39,080
Yep, it is human. Okay, so
here. This one's easy. 15 to 20%
483
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:45,110
of the population on all
realms. What is the most played race?
484
00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:46,830
We already said it.
485
00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:47,590
Blood Elves.
486
00:32:47,670 --> 00:32:48,470
Blood Elves.
487
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:48,870
Yeah.
488
00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:54,790
Yep. Yep. This one made me
happy. What race do you think is
489
00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:59,830
the most popular cla or what
class is the most popular on RP Realms?
490
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:06,310
Here's the giveaway and
gathering Realms. Due to its certain
491
00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:08,750
type of flight form.
492
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:12,230
Not gonna read that word.
Yeah. Druids, baby.
493
00:33:12,870 --> 00:33:18,240
The Druids. Yep. Druids for
sure. Okay, number one race played
494
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,880
in PvP all around.
495
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,240
Night elf.
496
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:28,480
Night elf. Yep, for sure. 22%
on that one. It's pretty high. Okay.
497
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,360
This is where it gets into
stuff that you kind of already know,
498
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,560
but it's still quite
interesting to actually see the stats.
499
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,970
We'll go through the top five,
top five most played classes according
500
00:33:40,970 --> 00:33:44,170
to this video. Number one, Gibs.
501
00:33:44,250 --> 00:33:45,210
Paladin.
502
00:33:49,290 --> 00:33:53,730
Of course, this surprised me,
but it's still kind of up there because
503
00:33:53,730 --> 00:33:56,890
there's literally four specs
for this class, but Druid is number
504
00:33:56,890 --> 00:34:02,410
two. Number three is Hunter.
And we won't use the vernacular for
505
00:34:02,410 --> 00:34:07,380
World of Warcraft Hunters on
this show. Number four is Shaman.
506
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:12,620
And number five, Warrior.
Yeah, which probably Fury. I would
507
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:13,540
Imagine it's probably Fury.
508
00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:13,740
Yeah.
509
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:17,620
But okay, so as we go down
here, let's talk about the most popular
510
00:34:17,940 --> 00:34:22,980
specs. Not surprising. Number
one. And number two, number one,
511
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:25,460
Retribution Paladin.
512
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:29,020
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's. Of
course, it's such a flashy spec,
513
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:32,060
and it's honestly such an easy
spec to pick up. I'm not really shocked
514
00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:36,610
by that. And I loved playing
rep Paladin for years. You know,
515
00:34:36,610 --> 00:34:39,770
like it, it's. I get it. I
really do. 100 get it.
516
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:43,050
Okay, so with Rhett Paladin
being the number one most popular
517
00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:47,090
spec, I'm not even going to
give you a half a guess at the second
518
00:34:47,090 --> 00:34:47,930
most popular spec.
519
00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:51,690
It's probably Hunter related,
particularly. Oh, B. It's got to
520
00:34:51,690 --> 00:34:53,050
be bm. I bet it's bm.
521
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:57,890
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Set it and
forget it. Beastmaster Hunter all
522
00:34:57,890 --> 00:34:58,330
day long.
523
00:34:58,410 --> 00:34:58,890
Yeah.
524
00:34:59,170 --> 00:35:01,810
This one also didn't surprise
me. Number three, most popular spec
525
00:35:01,890 --> 00:35:06,930
is Havoc Demon Hunter. And
number four being the Fury Warrior,
526
00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:10,490
which we talked about, of
course, Fury. And then number five
527
00:35:10,490 --> 00:35:15,170
is Balance Druid. So anyway,
guys, this video was fantastic. I.
528
00:35:15,170 --> 00:35:19,930
I really, I love the humor in
it. I loved the fact that he sourced
529
00:35:19,930 --> 00:35:23,650
everything and seemingly put a
lot of work into coming up with a
530
00:35:23,650 --> 00:35:30,290
lot of these specs. Finish the
video off with a couple of pretty
531
00:35:30,290 --> 00:35:33,970
funny things. And the first
one was if you want to be a basic
532
00:35:33,970 --> 00:35:39,890
bee, just roll a blood elf rat
Paladin, and you're good. You are
533
00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:43,610
plenty good. Just blood alpha
rat pally, you're good to go. And
534
00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:46,410
then the second one, which I
know we've talked about this a little
535
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:50,510
bit before, and the downfall
of this particular class and specific,
536
00:35:51,140 --> 00:35:55,900
if you want to sit in queue
for hours by yourself, just roll
537
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,980
an alliance Drac, the
augmentation evoker, and you're pretty
538
00:35:59,980 --> 00:36:03,820
much guaranteeing yourself
that you're going to be solo.
539
00:36:03,820 --> 00:36:05,220
For a minute, man.
540
00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:11,940
So it's a shame. Yeah, I know
it brings a whole other conversation
541
00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:15,380
about player utility or class
utility in there.
542
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:16,780
Support roles, baby.
543
00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:19,740
Support roles. Yeah, which.
Which I know we've talked about before,
544
00:36:19,740 --> 00:36:22,020
and I'm sure at some point
we're going to talk about it again,
545
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:26,540
but. So Steven ends this video
with the only true bad character
546
00:36:26,540 --> 00:36:31,380
in World of Warcraft is. Or
the only true bad character choice
547
00:36:31,860 --> 00:36:34,940
in World of Warcraft is
rolling a character that you don't
548
00:36:34,940 --> 00:36:39,620
enjoy and then you blame
somebody else for it. So the takeaway
549
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:44,260
really is play what you want
to play. All specs are valid despite
550
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:48,500
tier lists. Play what you want
to Play or just joking about the.
551
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:53,380
About the last two. About the
Blood Elf Rat, Pali and the Augmentation
552
00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:56,860
Evoker. Play what you want.
Play what's fun to you. There is
553
00:36:56,860 --> 00:37:00,660
content for you and you're
fully viable. So anyway, huge thank
554
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:05,220
you to Steven Hero for putting
that video together. The video again
555
00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:10,620
is entitled the Most Popular
Faction Race Class and Specs Going
556
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:14,700
into Midnight. Breaking
557
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:19,670
news brought to all of you by
the Goblin News Network.
558
00:37:21,430 --> 00:37:26,390
Bum bum bum. Feel like. What
was that? What was that commercial?
559
00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:30,030
I feel like that was. Was it.
That wasn't Apple. I don't know.
560
00:37:30,030 --> 00:37:32,790
I'll figure it out when it's
not important. Macintosh? No, I don't
561
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:36,830
know. All right, anyway, so
folks, midnight. I'm thinking out
562
00:37:36,830 --> 00:37:39,750
loud apparently while we're
recording this midnight pre patch
563
00:37:39,750 --> 00:37:43,930
and expansion overview, what's
coming next for World of Warcraft?
564
00:37:43,930 --> 00:37:47,010
This coming to us from
wowhead.com now folks, this dropped
565
00:37:47,490 --> 00:37:50,610
kind of like when we were in
between our like a regular episode.
566
00:37:50,610 --> 00:37:54,970
Then we had AMR late watch the
first live show ever last week. And
567
00:37:54,970 --> 00:37:59,650
so this kind of came at
released during that time. So we're
568
00:37:59,650 --> 00:38:01,530
going to kind of COVID some of
the high points here because you
569
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:04,970
already know about this. Most
of you probably already do. So Blizzard
570
00:38:04,970 --> 00:38:07,730
has fully outlined what's
coming in the midnight pre patch
571
00:38:07,730 --> 00:38:11,090
and expansion launch. And this
is where one of the most system heavy
572
00:38:11,090 --> 00:38:16,490
transitions World of Warcraft
has ever attempted. So here's how
573
00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:21,490
the timeline shakes out right
now as of today, midnight pre patch
574
00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:26,090
is January 20th. So that means
all the core systems and gameplay
575
00:38:26,090 --> 00:38:29,290
changes, the stuff that you're
looking at for like user interface
576
00:38:29,290 --> 00:38:32,690
and your Transmog that's going
to see updates housing.
577
00:38:32,850 --> 00:38:34,690
I can't believe how fast this
is coming, bro.
578
00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:36,220
I know, I know.
579
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:39,940
It's just I feel I'm looking
at it right now and I have like.
580
00:38:39,940 --> 00:38:41,900
Two weeks to get through Kaiveza.
581
00:38:42,060 --> 00:38:47,580
I know, I know. It's. It is.
And I think that a lot of other players
582
00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:50,460
feel that way for a lot of
reasons. One being I still think
583
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:54,940
a lot of folks are still
trying to decide their main for no
584
00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:58,300
less of a reason than the way
the classes are going to shake out.
585
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:02,770
Because when this happens on
January 20th, these updates are happening
586
00:39:02,770 --> 00:39:05,890
at that point like we're
getting all those class updates right?
587
00:39:05,890 --> 00:39:10,410
So it's just like unless you
have been on the beta, I think this
588
00:39:10,410 --> 00:39:13,690
is the one time truthfully
probably for you, I'm speaking just
589
00:39:13,690 --> 00:39:17,530
for you and I the one time we
have been in a disadvantage to not
590
00:39:17,530 --> 00:39:21,010
have played that Beta to see
those class changes and feel them
591
00:39:21,010 --> 00:39:23,010
and kind of get an
understanding what we're going into
592
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:28,180
just because it's such an
unknown, you know, And I wonder how
593
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:30,660
many other people could say
the same. Like, they're still trying
594
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:32,140
to decide, you know.
595
00:39:32,380 --> 00:39:36,260
Yeah. And I, you know, I know
how you and I usually do stuff. We
596
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:40,100
don't like spoilers too much,
but, you know, I couldn't foresee
597
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:45,940
us in the future diving into
more beta content, you know, just
598
00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:53,260
to be responsible for
delivering accurate news, good news.
599
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:56,310
But then again, like, we're.
I'm not sitting here speculating
600
00:39:56,310 --> 00:40:00,510
on how things are going to be.
I'm just kind of. I'm just going
601
00:40:00,510 --> 00:40:04,350
to be kind of dumb to it and
just wait to see how it turns out.
602
00:40:04,350 --> 00:40:07,030
I don't plan on changing my
main. Regardless.
603
00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:09,990
That Rogue's not tickling your
ivory, huh?
604
00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:13,670
Oh, I'm. There's a hundred
per. There's zero doubt.
605
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:14,550
Yeah, I know.
606
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:22,910
There's zero doubt that Rogue
is not tickling things and that my
607
00:40:22,910 --> 00:40:26,790
Hunter is not making valves
open and close in my body. Because
608
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:27,230
it is.
609
00:40:27,230 --> 00:40:27,790
I know.
610
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:34,030
It totally is. I personally
cannot go back and forth. I would
611
00:40:34,030 --> 00:40:38,630
only. I would have to pick one
because I can't do dailies and weeklies
612
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:40,510
on three different characters.
613
00:40:40,590 --> 00:40:41,070
I just.
614
00:40:41,070 --> 00:40:42,430
I don't have the time.
615
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:43,150
Right.
616
00:40:43,150 --> 00:40:45,990
To do it as much as I would
want to. I just don't have the time
617
00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:51,960
to do it. So where. I don't
plan to change from Resto Druid.
618
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,400
And it's a good problem to
have. It's a good problem to have
619
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,360
when you're looking at other
classes thinking, man, that looks
620
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,680
fun. And I look at them all in
that same way. But I just have a
621
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,880
couple that really stick out
to me. And one is the Rogue. The
622
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,560
other is my. Is my. Of course,
my BM Hunter.
623
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,120
Yeah.
624
00:41:13,340 --> 00:41:19,460
So I. I don't know, maybe beta
is in our future for future patches.
625
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:22,940
I think if it's major classes
like that changes like that. I think
626
00:41:22,940 --> 00:41:25,820
that is. I think that's
probably something I could see us
627
00:41:25,820 --> 00:41:30,060
testing truthfully. Because,
yeah, like, means something to us
628
00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:32,460
to be able to experience it
alongside the rest of the community.
629
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:35,940
You know, like, it's. It's
just as in those episodes that come
630
00:41:35,940 --> 00:41:38,700
afterward are pretty staple
episodes. Like, you'll hear it in
631
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:42,660
our voice. But yeah, I think
if it's class related, definitely.
632
00:41:42,660 --> 00:41:45,540
Because, yeah, I mean, I'm
right there with you. I am so right
633
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:49,300
there with you. And honestly,
truthfully, at its core, I doubt
634
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:56,380
I'd be This rattled if housing
didn't completely change me in Warcraft,
635
00:41:56,620 --> 00:42:01,780
literally, it feels like
forever and or permanently. I play
636
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:10,330
the game so wildly different
now, wildly different. And I have
637
00:42:10,330 --> 00:42:15,450
no desire to go back to kind
of like how I used to play it. And
638
00:42:15,850 --> 00:42:19,530
you know, part of that, I say
that because my gameplay loop now
639
00:42:19,530 --> 00:42:22,450
is honestly very cozy, very
chill. Unless we're trying some like,
640
00:42:22,450 --> 00:42:27,810
crazy thing like trying to go
contract killer or. Honestly, I find
641
00:42:27,810 --> 00:42:31,770
healing arenas pretty chill.
Like it doesn't really bother me
642
00:42:31,770 --> 00:42:35,460
too much. Too much. Every now
and then I'll have a match, but for
643
00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:38,020
whatever reason, I've found
I'm very proficient at healing in
644
00:42:38,020 --> 00:42:41,860
an arena setting. I could
never do what you do. Healing in
645
00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:47,820
a mythic setting or even a
raid would make me nervous. But like,
646
00:42:47,820 --> 00:42:51,540
for whatever reason, like, I'm
fine in arenas, but outside of that,
647
00:42:51,540 --> 00:42:56,500
like, I'm very cozy, very
chill. And a lot of these classes
648
00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:59,600
are seeing a lot of changes,
you know, and I'm just like, man,
649
00:42:59,750 --> 00:43:04,630
man, oh man, how chill do I
want to make it, you know?
650
00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:08,230
Yeah, and I feel you on that
too. I think a lot of my gameplay,
651
00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:13,870
I went hard on housing right
off the bat. Got my house to my house
652
00:43:13,870 --> 00:43:18,790
and my collections for home
decor to a place that I was comfortable
653
00:43:18,790 --> 00:43:25,950
to cycle back to doing my
weeklies and maybe work in the auction
654
00:43:25,950 --> 00:43:29,160
house a bit and doing some of
those things, you know, working on
655
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,960
it, just continuing to work on
achievements and finish up, rep and
656
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,280
stuff that I need to finish up
before pre patch comes. But at the
657
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:41,440
same time, this is a typical,
a typical play session for me would
658
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:48,160
be log in, check, check my
mail to see what sold, put a couple
659
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,840
more items up for sale, and
then just kind of dilly dally around
660
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,120
and work on some of the stuff
that I want to finish up before pre
661
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,560
patch. And then our friends
get on and they're like, hey, we're
662
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:08,040
doing Gambit, you know, mythic
20. You want to go. And then I go
663
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,400
white knuckle it for the rest
of the night and feel like a substandard
664
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,720
player for the rest of the
night. That's. That's typically been
665
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:19,200
my loop lately. But I love the
way that you've been doing it because
666
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,240
like, you are true to life.
Like that is exactly what's going
667
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:26,510
on with you. It is. It's you.
You've turned into Susie Homemaker
668
00:44:26,510 --> 00:44:27,950
and I think it's kind of cool.
669
00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:32,590
Well, I've. It's just been so
fun. Like I've really endeavored
670
00:44:32,590 --> 00:44:38,190
to learn as many profession,
like error. I'm trying. Well, actually,
671
00:44:38,190 --> 00:44:39,990
no, I'll tell you what I'm
endeavoring to do. So your thing
672
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,190
is to get contract killer.
Honestly, my thing is to get every
673
00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:48,190
drop of decor that's available
right now before pre patch. And I'm
674
00:44:48,190 --> 00:44:51,720
so stinking close. So close.
The hardest ones to get are the current,
675
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,200
current patches because it
requires a group for you to go do
676
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,160
those things, you know, and
you guess it does for Dragonflight
677
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:03,000
as well, but. Yeah, it's just.
Yeah, I guess it's cool that you
678
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,040
see that. To be honest, I
haven't really ever thought about
679
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,240
it, but. Yeah, man.
680
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:11,120
Yeah. But it is true. I mean,
it totally is true. And when I joke
681
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,560
about Mythics, like I'm
nowhere near.
682
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,000
I really don't like them near
that high.
683
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,080
And they're there. I mean,
they're. I'm still consider myself
684
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,720
more of a casual player, so
it's dabbling in, you know, more
685
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,280
challenging content is
certainly stressful. Yeah, it's there
686
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,680
again. Warcraft is as simple
or as complex as you want it to be.
687
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:33,960
Yeah.
688
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,440
And that is the perfect example.
689
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,440
Yeah. Yeah. And I'm glad that
Pre patch is coming on January 20th,
690
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,800
Truth Leap, because we really
wanted that before the class changes,
691
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,760
before midnight hits. And so
we're definitely going to get that.
692
00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:48,950
And I bet you will see a lot
of people shift. A lot of people
693
00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:51,550
change class. Don't blame
them. You know, find what you play.
694
00:45:51,550 --> 00:45:55,630
We always say it. Forget meta,
forget tier lists. Those are the
695
00:45:55,630 --> 00:45:59,390
bane of any person who wants
to stay on a single tune. Play what
696
00:45:59,390 --> 00:46:02,109
you love, play what you love,
what you connect with and what you
697
00:46:02,109 --> 00:46:02,550
enjoy.
698
00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:05,830
So, yeah, and what's nice is
that they're giving us a week to
699
00:46:05,830 --> 00:46:10,590
play with your class before
the pre patch event shows up, which
700
00:46:10,590 --> 00:46:13,580
is called Twilight Ascension,
and that's happening January 27th.
701
00:46:13,660 --> 00:46:15,340
So that's. That's just a good choice.
702
00:46:15,340 --> 00:46:19,220
Yep, absolutely. And by the
way, folks, I've plugged this so
703
00:46:19,220 --> 00:46:23,980
many times, but if you can
read Blood Ties before this drops,
704
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:31,980
read it. Because I tell you, I
have a. A really strong inkling to
705
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:34,500
what's probably going to
happen in Last Titan. Now, I have
706
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:37,500
a theory. I don't want to say
it, but I think I know what's. What's
707
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:40,940
coming. Part of that book is a
major because I know when Christy
708
00:46:40,940 --> 00:46:44,900
wrote that she had. She had a
lane she had to stay in for this.
709
00:46:45,140 --> 00:46:48,500
Like, there were certain story
beats they wanted them to say should.
710
00:46:48,500 --> 00:46:51,820
They wanted her to grow to,
you know, like, go with. And I'm
711
00:46:51,820 --> 00:46:56,100
like the writing's on the
wall. Okay.
712
00:46:56,420 --> 00:47:00,460
I love it. I love it. I have.
I can probably. I'm gonna probably
713
00:47:00,460 --> 00:47:04,460
audible that here within the
next few weeks, because I honestly.
714
00:47:04,460 --> 00:47:07,060
You would have until January 27th.
715
00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:07,540
Yeah.
716
00:47:07,540 --> 00:47:12,140
When the pre patch event takes
place, to get caught up on the lore
717
00:47:12,140 --> 00:47:15,100
in between War within and
Midnight. So I think that's. That's
718
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:16,700
plenty of time to devour that book.
719
00:47:16,700 --> 00:47:19,020
Yeah. And you know what? I
bought a physical copy too, just
720
00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:21,620
because I loved it so much.
And I've kind of grown to become
721
00:47:21,620 --> 00:47:25,380
a Warcraft book hog and
collector, and it's only like less
722
00:47:25,380 --> 00:47:30,260
than 400 pages. It's not a big
book. It's not big at all. But so
723
00:47:30,260 --> 00:47:33,260
anyway, yeah, like you said,
Twilight Ascension, January 27th
724
00:47:33,260 --> 00:47:37,340
and then midnight early
access, February 22nd. I'm sorry,
725
00:47:37,340 --> 00:47:42,100
February 27th, followed by the
midnight full launch on March 2nd.
726
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:46,660
Now, don't forget, folks, if
you did pre order it one of those
727
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:50,860
tiers, you get it. I forget if
it's all tiers or at least the second
728
00:47:50,860 --> 00:47:56,350
tier, you get early access. So
that's. That'll definitely be a thing
729
00:47:56,350 --> 00:47:58,990
as well. So. Yeah. So February
27th, I know we'll be in for the
730
00:47:58,990 --> 00:48:02,230
early access section. It'll be
fun. It'll be a good time to cover.
731
00:48:02,390 --> 00:48:06,390
And like you said, I think you
hit the nail on the head for this
732
00:48:06,630 --> 00:48:10,710
segment here. I can't believe
it's so soon.
733
00:48:12,070 --> 00:48:17,950
Yeah, it is. And as we're
doing the show, I'm thinking in the
734
00:48:17,950 --> 00:48:24,520
Rolodex of my mind. Rolodex in
old man's term. I'm thinking of all
735
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,080
the things I have going on in
my life. I'm like, oh, my God.
736
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:29,440
Oh, no.
737
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,400
I have to carve out some time.
738
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,520
Yep, definitely. Definitely.
So there is that. Next up, updated
739
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,600
class survival guide for
midnight beta changes. You need to
740
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,160
know. So this again comes from
wowhead.com Folks, this article kind
741
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,250
of got into nitty gritty about
a guide for your class. Like, just
742
00:48:48,410 --> 00:48:52,250
sections broke up based on
spec for your. Your class specifically.
743
00:48:52,410 --> 00:48:56,010
And we thought this would be a
way to really help you understand
744
00:48:56,890 --> 00:49:02,170
to a certain extent what to
expect for your role for your spec
745
00:49:02,409 --> 00:49:05,770
going into midnight. And so
instead of us giving you all the
746
00:49:05,770 --> 00:49:08,610
numbers, the, you know, the
pluses, the minuses, none of that
747
00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:12,610
stuff, we went to our Goblin
staff. We gave them a task which
748
00:49:12,610 --> 00:49:17,090
was scary enough to do
already, and we had them kind of
749
00:49:17,490 --> 00:49:20,490
summarize it, kind of focused
it down a little bit, quote unquote,
750
00:49:20,490 --> 00:49:25,490
casualized it for all of us.
And so they brought their report.
751
00:49:26,930 --> 00:49:31,970
So we're gonna read through
this and see what they had to say.
752
00:49:32,290 --> 00:49:33,250
You want to take it?
753
00:49:33,410 --> 00:49:41,100
Yeah. So Midnight isn't about
making World World of Warcraft easier.
754
00:49:41,580 --> 00:49:45,580
It is about making it less
exhausting. So almost every class
755
00:49:46,220 --> 00:49:51,660
blizzard has quietly sanded
down the sharp edges of each of these
756
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:56,540
classes. Every class got
touched some inappropriately, but
757
00:49:57,180 --> 00:50:04,860
everyone got touched. So some
of them are. Some of the rotations
758
00:50:04,860 --> 00:50:09,370
that were out there were very
non forgiving and you know, you forget
759
00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:15,090
a buff and you'll wipe. So
they changed a lot of that stuff
760
00:50:16,770 --> 00:50:20,530
to come a little bit more in
line with the changes that have been
761
00:50:20,530 --> 00:50:25,650
made to add ons. So again,
like tons of stuff. So for tanks,
762
00:50:25,970 --> 00:50:29,530
fewer surprise deaths.
Warriors, paladins, death knights,
763
00:50:29,530 --> 00:50:32,250
they're all being tuned. So
the survivability feels a bit more
764
00:50:32,250 --> 00:50:35,520
predictable instead of just
like, I hope the healer is paying
765
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,320
attention. Tanks will still be
managing their cooldowns. But you
766
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:46,840
don't need. I guess it's less
the need for add ons to know that,
767
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,720
to know when you're safe, like
boss timers a little bit less now
768
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:56,600
the thing is like we're losing
things. Like dang, what's the dungeon
769
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,510
one? So hard to remember
things when you're on the spot.
770
00:50:59,510 --> 00:51:00,150
Dbm.
771
00:51:00,150 --> 00:51:04,230
Dbm. Yeah. Thank you. DBM
would like warn you when stuff's
772
00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:07,030
coming. You're not gonna have
to watch for when those things are
773
00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:10,990
coming. So it's definitely
going to be some different gameplay.
774
00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:15,350
So for some of the different
classes like demon hunters, rogues
775
00:51:15,350 --> 00:51:19,390
and monk monks that are a
little more like fast button pressing,
776
00:51:19,550 --> 00:51:25,330
you know, twitch heavy. The
pattern is the less upkeep you take,
777
00:51:25,810 --> 00:51:29,530
the more room you're gonna
have to recover if you mess up. So
778
00:51:29,530 --> 00:51:33,450
it's. Oh man, again, like
we've kind of fallen to the trap
779
00:51:33,450 --> 00:51:36,250
of saying that a lot of the
classes are being dumbed down a little
780
00:51:36,250 --> 00:51:39,490
bit. No, they're just,
they're. The flow is being worked
781
00:51:39,490 --> 00:51:46,130
better so the classes feel
more engaging and more attractive
782
00:51:46,130 --> 00:51:52,500
to play. That's what I'm
seeing anyway. So for casters there
783
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:57,900
were like shadow priest mages,
warlocks, chamois. The rotations
784
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:03,060
are being smoothed out. So it
doesn't feel like if you fall out
785
00:52:03,060 --> 00:52:08,980
of rhythm, you're going to
completely tank your rotation. You
786
00:52:08,980 --> 00:52:11,900
can kind of just oops, mess
that one up and then you re enter
787
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:16,220
the flow without the games
basically being completely unforgiving
788
00:52:16,220 --> 00:52:19,800
to you and telling you that
you suck at the game. So. So that's
789
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:25,200
Good changes to Hunters and
Druids. So I don't know how much
790
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,280
I feel too much about Hunter
specs needing to get changed, other
791
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,520
than maybe Marksman and
Survival, because you literally can
792
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,920
roll your head across the
keyboard with Beastmaster and it's
793
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:45,250
fun as hell. Druids, I think,
on the other hand, especially Boomies,
794
00:52:46,370 --> 00:52:51,410
that was a little bit more
intensive with just a ton of things
795
00:52:51,410 --> 00:52:55,570
at once, like maybe too many
stimuli at once understanding how
796
00:52:56,130 --> 00:52:59,170
the class works and when
certain things proc you're using
797
00:52:59,250 --> 00:53:03,570
certain abilities. So for a
lot of the folks out there who are
798
00:53:03,570 --> 00:53:06,890
very, very well skilled in
this and have been playing Boomies
799
00:53:06,890 --> 00:53:12,230
for a long time, you'll
probably disagree with me, but I
800
00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:18,870
always felt like it was more
of a challenge to play in that Moon
801
00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:25,030
Conform and under balance
Druid without. It was hard to play
802
00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:28,750
it without some kind of jogger
as to what you should be doing next.
803
00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:34,070
So whether that was, you know,
any of the various forms of add ons
804
00:53:34,070 --> 00:53:39,470
that were available or still
available to help you with your rotation
805
00:53:39,470 --> 00:53:44,270
or the native rotation
assistant in the game. So what they're
806
00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:47,390
doing is they're simplifying
that a bit. They're making things
807
00:53:48,750 --> 00:53:52,990
kind of buried in one another
so that when you use a skill, another
808
00:53:53,070 --> 00:53:56,670
skill is triggering to make
those rotations a little more simple.
809
00:53:58,430 --> 00:54:02,990
The Evoker. The Evocher. The
Evoker, which is for a long time
810
00:54:02,990 --> 00:54:08,290
been considered the canary in
Blizzard's design. Aug still exists.
811
00:54:08,290 --> 00:54:12,130
So if you play augmentation,
that's fantastic. Support is still
812
00:54:12,130 --> 00:54:16,130
real, which is, this is great
to hear from Blizzard that support
813
00:54:16,130 --> 00:54:20,690
is still a thing. They haven't
abandoned the class. But Blizzard
814
00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:24,730
is not backing off the idea
that not every spec needs to be about
815
00:54:24,730 --> 00:54:30,660
topping the meters. So we
suspect this is intentional because
816
00:54:30,660 --> 00:54:34,780
this could lead to exactly
what we've been talking about. More
817
00:54:34,780 --> 00:54:37,820
support, support classes
coming down the road, which would
818
00:54:37,820 --> 00:54:42,740
be freaking amazing. So I
think the big picture to see here
819
00:54:42,740 --> 00:54:50,540
is that Blizzard is finding
out that too much of WoW's difficulty
820
00:54:50,540 --> 00:54:53,820
came from some of the external
tools that were out there. So by
821
00:54:53,820 --> 00:54:57,880
removing those external tools
and tweaking the game to where they
822
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:02,360
want it to be, it's going to
make things more attractive, it's
823
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:07,400
going to make classes more
viable and fun to play with a fun
824
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,960
gameplay flow. And I think
that's a good thing.
825
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,320
Agreed.
826
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,240
Snark online.
827
00:55:25,330 --> 00:55:28,730
I don't know why I shouldn't
laugh at this point. We're 15 episodes
828
00:55:28,730 --> 00:55:33,490
in we're Grown Men, but every
time that bumper I get helped because
829
00:55:33,490 --> 00:55:36,930
farts are funny. It's true.
All right, so it's sped out today.
830
00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:39,210
For those of you who don't
know, this is the segment navigator
831
00:55:39,210 --> 00:55:43,170
and randomizer kiosk thing
that Goblins made for us and gives
832
00:55:43,170 --> 00:55:49,700
us our segments. And we have
mailbag mayhem. Alright, so this
833
00:55:49,700 --> 00:55:53,740
is the segment where we open
your mail and answer it on the air.
834
00:55:53,740 --> 00:55:56,420
And this is fitting because we
do have some emails. All right, so
835
00:55:56,420 --> 00:56:01,780
this first one to us from
Spitfire says, Greetings amr. With
836
00:56:01,780 --> 00:56:04,860
the new year upon us soon and
everyone starting new journeys, your
837
00:56:04,860 --> 00:56:09,020
show has convinced me to give
World of Warcraft a try for the very
838
00:56:09,260 --> 00:56:13,710
first time in my life.
However, it's admittedly pretty daunting.
839
00:56:13,710 --> 00:56:17,230
With the sheer amount of time
the game is existed for and the amount
840
00:56:17,230 --> 00:56:20,590
of content that comes with
that, it's easy to feel like I'm
841
00:56:20,590 --> 00:56:24,230
coming in too late and I've
missed the boat all those years ago.
842
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:27,470
That being said, I was hoping
you guys could take some time to
843
00:56:27,470 --> 00:56:31,030
talk about how a brand new
player would jump into World of Warcraft.
844
00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:34,950
In this day and age, what
should a newcomer expect? And what's
845
00:56:34,950 --> 00:56:37,430
the best way to approach the
game without being totally lost?
846
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,960
Is there such a thing as being
too late to the party? As always,
847
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,400
eternally grateful for your
passion, positivity and kindness
848
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,400
you bring to the community.
Your conversations make the game
849
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,480
feel welcoming rather than
intimidating. And they've genuinely
850
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,400
inspired me to finally take
that first step in Azeroth. Keep
851
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,920
doing what you do. Looking
forward to every episode. Your friend,
852
00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:59,320
Spitfire. Well, that was
really nice.
853
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Really nice. And greetings,
Spitfire. Nice to see you, my friend.
854
00:57:03,710 --> 00:57:07,830
Yeah, I think I got a pretty
decent perspective on this one just
855
00:57:07,830 --> 00:57:10,550
because of the fact that I
have a family member that lives in
856
00:57:10,550 --> 00:57:14,750
this very house who has
recently dove into World of Warcraft
857
00:57:14,750 --> 00:57:19,950
and she's not really even a
big MMO player. Spit, I know, has
858
00:57:19,950 --> 00:57:24,910
some experience with MMOs.
Quite a bit. So I would say. No,
859
00:57:25,070 --> 00:57:27,870
I would say it's. It's
definitely not too late. And I didn't
860
00:57:27,870 --> 00:57:33,240
mean to like lazily go into
my. No, I certainly don't think it's
861
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,520
too late to play World of
Warcraft. They have tailored the
862
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:44,520
new player experience, which
is not perfect because I don't know
863
00:57:45,159 --> 00:57:50,040
how you could make it perfect
and catch people up to what's going
864
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,400
on, aside from maybe some of
the ideas that we talked about, you
865
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:59,950
know, doing Lore Walker Joe,
having the availability of Lore Walker
866
00:57:59,950 --> 00:58:04,990
Joe to kind of walk you
through what each expansion has done,
867
00:58:05,390 --> 00:58:09,630
but catching up on 20 years
lore is a daunting task anyway. I
868
00:58:09,630 --> 00:58:14,030
mean, that's, that's a ton.
But it's not different than any other
869
00:58:15,150 --> 00:58:19,990
large IP that's out there with
20 years of lore. And you know that
870
00:58:19,990 --> 00:58:23,840
one again, I'll go to Elder
Scrolls. It's like, it's. There's
871
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,240
so much lore there, it's just,
it's nuts. Well, there's so much
872
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,680
lore here that it's nuts. So I
would say to answer this, you gotta
873
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:36,280
just take your time and just
fall in love with the world. Some
874
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:42,680
of the ways that you can do
that. If you find a community, a
875
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,800
community can certainly help
you with the mechanics part of the
876
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:52,230
game and help to like, direct
you live as to what you need to do.
877
00:58:53,510 --> 00:58:58,950
If you happen to be a solo
player, then I would definitely say
878
00:58:58,950 --> 00:59:03,870
take advantage of the, the
Newcomer Channel, which is Channel
879
00:59:03,870 --> 00:59:09,270
six. And I know for a fact
that both Jibs and I have both joined
880
00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:16,860
that. That team. We both
became Newcomer Helpers, which I
881
00:59:16,860 --> 00:59:19,980
think is great. I've been
having a really good time. You know,
882
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:23,860
you see Newcomer chat, once
you, you do the thing, you become
883
00:59:23,860 --> 00:59:29,340
a Newcomer Helper mentor. You
see the chat all the time. People
884
00:59:29,580 --> 00:59:33,500
definitely ask questions in
there. And there are. There's always
885
00:59:33,900 --> 00:59:39,100
A somebody that beats me to
it, or B, an opportunity for me to
886
00:59:39,970 --> 00:59:42,970
make a new friend and help
them out with something. So that
887
00:59:42,970 --> 00:59:47,690
is a really good resource to
use if you're playing solo. I mean,
888
00:59:47,690 --> 00:59:50,530
you could use it regardless if
you're playing with it with a group
889
00:59:50,530 --> 00:59:55,489
or you have a guild, it's
great. But there's nothing that's
890
00:59:55,489 --> 00:59:59,650
going to beat being in a
discord with players who have played
891
00:59:59,650 --> 01:00:02,610
the game for a long time and,
and are willing to answer those questions
892
01:00:02,610 --> 01:00:07,580
for you. But man, just take
your time with it. There really is
893
01:00:07,580 --> 01:00:11,780
no hurry. There's so much time
for you to get in there and just
894
01:00:11,780 --> 01:00:15,620
play the game at your speed,
play through the things that you
895
01:00:15,620 --> 01:00:18,860
want to play through. And when
the game is trying to direct you
896
01:00:19,420 --> 01:00:22,700
to new stuff, you can always
just say no and stay where you're
897
01:00:22,700 --> 01:00:26,100
at. Like my daughter, we
leveled her pretty quick because
898
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:29,260
we wanted it. It wasn't that
we did it on purpose, but we wanted
899
01:00:29,260 --> 01:00:32,550
to start getting her some
gear, getting her used to playing
900
01:00:32,550 --> 01:00:37,310
in some dungeons and in a. In
a group setting. So we happen to
901
01:00:37,310 --> 01:00:40,190
be doing it during the time
Walking events. Would that leveled
902
01:00:40,190 --> 01:00:43,350
her up so dang fast, which
we've talked about on previous shows,
903
01:00:43,670 --> 01:00:48,710
but she still went back to
battle for Azeroth because she really
904
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:52,070
Liked the zone and she wanted
to finish that story. So she's still
905
01:00:52,070 --> 01:00:54,630
there. She's level 80 and
she's still there. She's just like,
906
01:00:54,630 --> 01:00:58,390
man, I'm kicking everything's
butt now. And it's like, oh yeah,
907
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:01,340
you know, we got her some gear
and now she's 80 and she's just one
908
01:01:01,340 --> 01:01:04,620
shot and everything over there
on her warlock. But she's still taking
909
01:01:04,620 --> 01:01:08,620
her time and she's having a
great time doing it. The game will
910
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:11,860
have a tendency, Jibs, to
overwhelm you.
911
01:01:12,020 --> 01:01:12,580
Mm.
912
01:01:12,740 --> 01:01:14,020
If you allow it to.
913
01:01:14,020 --> 01:01:16,780
Yeah, yeah. And honestly, I
think you kind of hit the nail on
914
01:01:16,780 --> 01:01:19,860
the head. Be careful how much
you allow yourself to take in at
915
01:01:19,860 --> 01:01:24,740
the beginning. Like actively
limit yourself to. If it were me,
916
01:01:25,110 --> 01:01:28,110
maybe to actively limit
myself, I would focus on a specific
917
01:01:28,110 --> 01:01:35,150
zone and focus on skills and
my talents. That's it, you know,
918
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:39,830
like, that's really the core
of it. It's love the world, love
919
01:01:39,830 --> 01:01:44,270
your class and just focus on
your, like how that develops. So
920
01:01:44,270 --> 01:01:48,030
again it. Learning your
skills, learning your talent, picking
921
01:01:48,030 --> 01:01:52,790
your talents. Forget top tier
build. Forget what is so ingrained
922
01:01:52,790 --> 01:01:57,430
to so many people naturally
these days. And that is what's relevant.
923
01:01:57,430 --> 01:02:00,630
I hear that all the time.
Well, I don't know what's relevant.
924
01:02:00,950 --> 01:02:07,549
What's relevant is what you
like, what you enjoy. So focus on
925
01:02:07,549 --> 01:02:13,110
the, like Cash said, the world
and I would add like this. Learning
926
01:02:13,110 --> 01:02:15,830
your class, like he said to
like learning. Focus on your class
927
01:02:16,470 --> 01:02:20,200
and the rest of it. Just let
it come in time, let it come in time.
928
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,600
Focus on your zones that
you're in. Have fun. Right.
929
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,280
And if you're, if you're
concerned about dungeons, here's
930
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,360
one very poignant tip that.
931
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:27,880
I will give you.
932
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:33,000
If you're concerned or
hesitant to get into group a group
933
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:38,320
dungeon setting, take
advantage of the follower dungeons.
934
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:45,150
They. That is the best
simulation of what a real group would
935
01:02:45,150 --> 01:02:50,550
feel like that I. That I've
ever seen in any game. And basically
936
01:02:50,550 --> 01:02:53,750
what the follower dungeons
are, you can queue up for them. You'll
937
01:02:53,750 --> 01:02:57,470
get almost an instant queue
because your groupmates will be AI,
938
01:02:57,790 --> 01:03:04,390
but that intelligence that
they have is very much like how it
939
01:03:04,390 --> 01:03:07,950
will be in a regular dungeon.
Aside from the fact that they're
940
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:12,160
not special. Speeding along,
you can, you can cruise at whatever
941
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,280
speed you want and they will
walk you through the dungeons and
942
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,840
you'll get to see the story
and you'll get to enjoy the dungeons.
943
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:25,560
So it's a really good way to
learn World of Warcraft dungeons
944
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,600
if you have any hesitation to
hopping into them.
945
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,280
Agreed. Agreed. Well said.
Yeah. Spitfire, thank you so much
946
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:35,210
for the message and welcome to
Azeroth. So happy to have you here.
947
01:03:35,210 --> 01:03:35,850
It's awesome.
948
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:37,970
Yep. And don't be afraid to
reach out.
949
01:03:37,970 --> 01:03:38,450
That's right.
950
01:03:38,450 --> 01:03:41,530
Would be more than happy to
help you and it is great to see.
951
01:03:41,610 --> 01:03:46,090
Yeah. You are not a stranger.
Sin asks. Hey guys, as I said the
952
01:03:46,090 --> 01:03:49,770
other night, great to quote,
see you guys again. We're at their
953
01:03:49,930 --> 01:03:53,930
live show. It sounds weird
coming through the vine, but I have
954
01:03:53,930 --> 01:03:58,130
missed you guys. As I was
writing my review for amr, I decided
955
01:03:58,130 --> 01:04:01,550
to just basically carbon copy
my Lore Seekers review from years
956
01:04:01,550 --> 01:04:04,750
ago. Which, by the way, folks,
that was our ES show we ran from
957
01:04:04,750 --> 01:04:10,870
2018-21. And he says because,
well, basically it's all still relevant,
958
01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:15,110
applicable and pretty freaking
cool. It's a testament to the unnatural
959
01:04:15,110 --> 01:04:20,190
and pretty amazing bond you
guys have that permeates the waves
960
01:04:20,190 --> 01:04:23,750
to the communities that you
guys nurture. Great job. Doesn't
961
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:28,400
do it justice, but darn fine
job. Regardless, here's a question
962
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,120
I deal with in WOW that I
would love to hear your takes on
963
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,680
because I feel I'm not alone
and I'm going to be growing in brethren.
964
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:40,120
I'm jumping in. I'm sorry, I'm
a jump in, jump out. Wow. Altoholic.
965
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:46,560
Oh, do tell. Played solid from
Beta Wrath with my wife until my
966
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,080
twins were born, then by
myself until Kata, then jumped back
967
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080
in for Ms. Wad and Legion
leaving for about two months into
968
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,550
boa. Wow. They detailed it
out. That was pretty impressive.
969
01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:59,510
After feeling the itch to jump
back in later this year, I started
970
01:04:59,510 --> 01:05:02,590
listening to what old school
podcasts remained and found solo
971
01:05:02,590 --> 01:05:06,590
queue. I love Dave and he says
our friend Dave pulled me in full
972
01:05:06,590 --> 01:05:12,950
bore. My dilemma is, as an
experienced player as I am, I still
973
01:05:12,950 --> 01:05:16,030
feel overwhelmed with all the
systems Blizzard hits us with to
974
01:05:16,030 --> 01:05:20,030
keep things fresh. FOMO always
gets me to reroll a tune and start
975
01:05:20,030 --> 01:05:23,590
over to get a feel for things
and I never catch up to modern content.
976
01:05:24,570 --> 01:05:27,570
What? I think this is the real
question here. What pathways would
977
01:05:27,570 --> 01:05:31,450
you set out for a new
returning player to get the best
978
01:05:31,450 --> 01:05:35,690
of what's around while still
feeling viable? Thanks for the years
979
01:05:35,690 --> 01:05:39,050
and bless you all for your
efforts and talents. Sin. First off,
980
01:05:39,050 --> 01:05:42,290
Sin, you're incredibly kind
and thank you so much for the kind
981
01:05:42,290 --> 01:05:43,770
words. It is good to see you again.
982
01:05:44,010 --> 01:05:49,370
Yes, very much so. Welcome
back to Azeroth. We'll say that.
983
01:05:49,780 --> 01:05:50,100
Yeah.
984
01:05:51,940 --> 01:05:56,300
I think. I think a lot of this
answer will resonate in the answers
985
01:05:56,300 --> 01:06:01,780
that we had for Spitfire.
Although I will Say this if you want,
986
01:06:02,740 --> 01:06:06,940
we have certainly been down
this road all the times that we've
987
01:06:06,940 --> 01:06:11,260
left, played some other games
and then came back to Warcraft. Jibs
988
01:06:11,260 --> 01:06:15,260
and I will almost always roll
a brand new tomb to get back into
989
01:06:15,260 --> 01:06:17,900
the feel of things. And I
think a lot of it is because the
990
01:06:17,900 --> 01:06:27,420
nostalgia really helps for the
game to stick again. And so I would
991
01:06:27,420 --> 01:06:31,420
say, like, there's no bones
about it. That's a great way to get
992
01:06:31,420 --> 01:06:34,660
back into the game is to just
reroll a new tune and just go through
993
01:06:34,660 --> 01:06:41,300
stuff. But if you want to keep
up on the latest systems and feel
994
01:06:41,300 --> 01:06:48,430
relevant, what I would suggest
doing is play the game as a new player
995
01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:51,630
in the starting zones,
whatever zone you decide if you,
996
01:06:51,630 --> 01:06:55,150
whether you start on, on
newbie island or you know, the new
997
01:06:55,150 --> 01:07:00,750
player experience or you just
want to start leveling in a zone
998
01:07:00,750 --> 01:07:03,870
that you pick a starter zone
that you pick, play through that,
999
01:07:04,590 --> 01:07:11,910
pick an expansion about level
maybe 10 to 15 ish. Go to that expansion,
1000
01:07:11,910 --> 01:07:16,710
start playing through that
until you stop getting xp. There
1001
01:07:16,710 --> 01:07:21,670
will be a point where you,
your XP gain from the things that
1002
01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:26,190
you're doing will
exponentially slow down and you will
1003
01:07:26,190 --> 01:07:31,270
notice it. You'll be like,
what the heck just happened at that
1004
01:07:31,270 --> 01:07:37,460
point. That's when you want to
move to the latest expansion. And
1005
01:07:37,460 --> 01:07:41,020
that's how we've done it for
years. You're shaking your head like
1006
01:07:41,020 --> 01:07:41,700
I'm no.
1007
01:07:41,700 --> 01:07:44,740
I accidentally just deleted
the entire show notes in a single
1008
01:07:44,740 --> 01:07:47,380
setting. Thank God for undo
while you were talking. I'm sorry,
1009
01:07:47,380 --> 01:07:47,700
continue.
1010
01:07:47,940 --> 01:07:50,620
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it. I
saw the whole screen go black and
1011
01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:52,100
I was like, yeah, he'll fix that.
1012
01:07:53,460 --> 01:07:56,580
Yeah, just ignore. It's my
first time broadcasting. I'm sorry.
1013
01:07:56,580 --> 01:07:57,340
Podcast. Go ahead.
1014
01:07:57,340 --> 01:07:59,460
Congratulations on knowing
Microsoft Word.
1015
01:07:59,630 --> 01:08:00,750
Thank you, thank you.
1016
01:08:02,270 --> 01:08:06,110
But that's, that's really the,
that's what I would give you as,
1017
01:08:06,190 --> 01:08:10,630
as advice. Start off and play
whatever starting experience you
1018
01:08:10,630 --> 01:08:16,750
want. Then around 10 to 15,
pick an expansion, go to that expansion
1019
01:08:17,070 --> 01:08:22,870
level there. And then once you
stop getting that experience, then
1020
01:08:22,870 --> 01:08:27,919
you can move over to the brand
new new expansion. That'll be the
1021
01:08:27,919 --> 01:08:31,239
right time for that. And then
once you start going through, through
1022
01:08:31,239 --> 01:08:36,479
the new expansion, like there
are several systems to get you leveled
1023
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:42,359
up. I mean nowadays there's
time walking, there's just dungeons,
1024
01:08:42,359 --> 01:08:48,319
period. There's delves,
there's PvP. If you're into PvP,
1025
01:08:48,879 --> 01:08:52,570
you can level up through all
those different experiences and numerous
1026
01:08:52,570 --> 01:08:57,050
other ones too. Pick your
poison. Pick whichever one you like.
1027
01:08:57,210 --> 01:09:01,370
For me, I love leveling in
Delves. If I'm going to level a new
1028
01:09:01,370 --> 01:09:05,570
tune, I will go into Delves
and just crush them to try and push
1029
01:09:05,570 --> 01:09:11,530
that level. I love leveling up
my, my Delve companion. I love getting
1030
01:09:11,530 --> 01:09:16,050
the gear out of there. I love
doing those weeklies in Delves and
1031
01:09:16,050 --> 01:09:20,519
I'm really, really a huge
Delve fan period. So that to me is,
1032
01:09:20,519 --> 01:09:23,839
is a really good way to do it.
And then like when my friends log
1033
01:09:23,839 --> 01:09:29,679
on time walking, we do
dungeons, you get gear, you get uber
1034
01:09:29,679 --> 01:09:37,679
fast experience in there. And
remember folks, the game doesn't
1035
01:09:38,159 --> 01:09:43,279
begin at 80, the game begins
at 1. But once you hit level 80,
1036
01:09:44,510 --> 01:09:49,750
your further experience, your
end game experience begins when you
1037
01:09:49,750 --> 01:09:54,750
hit 80. And that is a majority
of your life in World of Warcraft
1038
01:09:54,750 --> 01:10:00,190
is going to be 80 and beyond.
But the journey to get there is whatever
1039
01:10:00,190 --> 01:10:04,750
you make it, however slow you
want to do it, enjoy it.
1040
01:10:05,150 --> 01:10:10,740
Everything cash just said sin
100%. He nailed it. Do those things
1041
01:10:11,140 --> 01:10:14,580
the way he said to do those
things. I can't agree more. Thank
1042
01:10:14,580 --> 01:10:17,100
you so much for the email and
hang out with us in Azeroth now.
1043
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:22,700
It's exciting and we have, we
have information coming very, very
1044
01:10:22,700 --> 01:10:25,380
soon. If you've seen that
emote the dog's nose smashed against
1045
01:10:25,380 --> 01:10:29,700
the window very thune on our
community what that looks like for
1046
01:10:29,700 --> 01:10:34,460
World of Warcraft. So more,
more info coming very soon next up
1047
01:10:34,460 --> 01:10:37,360
here from Rack. Now this is
more of a feel good story than actual
1048
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,160
question, but this was
something that we wanted to share
1049
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,560
on the air. It's another one
of those real how Azeroth brings
1050
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,600
people together kind of
stories. Before we close out the
1051
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,440
show, they say hello chips and
cash. I've been wanting to write
1052
01:10:49,440 --> 01:10:52,760
in for a few weeks now and I
finally carved out some time to sit
1053
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,960
down tonight and do so. I got
turned onto your show on on your
1054
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,480
launch day when Swaglock from
the War Band posted in his Discord
1055
01:11:02,430 --> 01:11:05,030
a recommendation for AMR
Swaglock. Thank you so much for that.
1056
01:11:05,030 --> 01:11:06,030
You're awesome. We love you buddy.
1057
01:11:06,030 --> 01:11:08,430
Yes, thank you sir. Appreciate it.
1058
01:11:08,510 --> 01:11:11,790
And I was immediately hooked.
The vibe you bring, your message,
1059
01:11:11,790 --> 01:11:15,430
your format and discussions, I
found it all to be right up my alley
1060
01:11:15,430 --> 01:11:18,710
and frankly inspiring. Both
you and the War Band have recently
1061
01:11:18,710 --> 01:11:21,550
inspired me to chase the
challenge of attempting to get into
1062
01:11:21,550 --> 01:11:24,910
podcasting myself. Well,
welcome in.
1063
01:11:24,910 --> 01:11:25,550
I love it.
1064
01:11:25,870 --> 01:11:28,860
A buddy of mine and I are in
somewhat early stages of figuring
1065
01:11:28,860 --> 01:11:33,460
out everything that goes into
it and we're getting close to recording
1066
01:11:33,460 --> 01:11:37,940
a pilot episode. It's been an
engaging challenge that I see bringing
1067
01:11:37,940 --> 01:11:41,500
a lot of fun growth to both of
us regardless of the ultimate outcome
1068
01:11:41,500 --> 01:11:45,700
of it. But this really isn't
why I wanted to write to you. I am
1069
01:11:45,700 --> 01:11:49,020
writing because I have a story
I was hoping to share with you both.
1070
01:11:49,420 --> 01:11:52,460
Forgive me if this email ends
up being a bit lengthy. I can be
1071
01:11:52,460 --> 01:11:55,340
a bit long winded when it
comes to telling the story as it's
1072
01:11:55,340 --> 01:11:59,030
my favorite story of all time
time. In the last couple of episodes
1073
01:11:59,030 --> 01:12:02,030
though, you've discussed how
couples have met in wow and even
1074
01:12:02,030 --> 01:12:07,190
shared a story of another
couple that wrote to you and has
1075
01:12:07,190 --> 01:12:11,270
inspired me to share my own
story with you guys Many years ago
1076
01:12:11,270 --> 01:12:15,430
in 2008, Azeroth was knee deep
in fighting the Burning Crusade and
1077
01:12:15,430 --> 01:12:18,590
we were in the final fight
against Kil' Jaeden at the Sunwell.
1078
01:12:18,990 --> 01:12:22,030
I was a guild leader of a
small casual raiding guild that was
1079
01:12:22,030 --> 01:12:26,320
nowhere near stepping foot in
the city unwell, but we had fun a
1080
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:30,080
couple days, a couple of days
each week, pushing Karazhan, the
1081
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:36,080
Eye Macton and etc. As I was
in my early 20s at the time and working
1082
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,720
during the day at my at a call
center, I would play in the evenings
1083
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:44,080
typically, but on one fateful
day my usual schedule was abruptly
1084
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,320
interrupted. I showed up to
work one morning only to get pulled
1085
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:53,060
off the call floor and laid
off from my job. I had worked there
1086
01:12:53,060 --> 01:12:57,940
for about three years and I
was devastated. I was sad and frustrated
1087
01:12:57,940 --> 01:13:01,860
and when I got home it wasn't
long until I hopped into wow. Just
1088
01:13:01,860 --> 01:13:06,020
looking to disconnect from the
stressful situation of losing my
1089
01:13:06,020 --> 01:13:11,980
job for a moment, I set out to
do my dailies on the Isle of Quel'danas.
1090
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:15,980
I started off with the quest
that sent me to an area just off
1091
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:19,760
to the right of the Zone Zone
into the Sunwell raid where I needed
1092
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:24,160
to kill 15 or so particular
blood elf mobs. If I recall, the
1093
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,760
zone was mostly empty as it
was fairly early in the day. However,
1094
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,360
there was an undead female
warlock in the same area that clearly
1095
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,360
was working on the same quest
that I'd set out to do. I soon found
1096
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,720
myself annoyingly in
competition for kills with this warlock.
1097
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,080
You may recall back then there
was no shared credit on corporation
1098
01:13:45,150 --> 01:13:50,310
quest kills for everyone who
tagged a mob. However, whoever damaged
1099
01:13:50,310 --> 01:13:53,710
it first got the credit for
themselves and anyone they were grouped
1100
01:13:53,710 --> 01:13:57,470
with. Normally I'm a pretty
friendly and outgoing guy and want
1101
01:13:57,470 --> 01:14:00,830
to believe that. Well, I would
just have invited the warlock to
1102
01:14:00,830 --> 01:14:05,230
join my group to get the quest
done quickly altogether. But you
1103
01:14:05,230 --> 01:14:09,150
see, I was having a rough day
and not feeling particularly social
1104
01:14:09,550 --> 01:14:14,000
Instead, I locked in and found
myself aggressively fighting with
1105
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,680
this warlock to tag mobs
first. I was playing a blood elf
1106
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,960
hunter and utilized my arcane
shot to tag the mobs first. I absolutely
1107
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,960
dominated the silent
competition we were in. No words
1108
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,920
were exchanged between the
warlock and I, but it wasn't long
1109
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,320
before I finished mounting up
and riding off to the next quest.
1110
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:36,280
But as I left the warlock in
the dust, it finally hit me. Guilt
1111
01:14:37,500 --> 01:14:41,540
all the way down to my stomach
and that voice in my head kicking
1112
01:14:41,540 --> 01:14:45,740
in saying this isn't you.
You're having a rough day, but this
1113
01:14:45,740 --> 01:14:50,060
isn't how you want to play
this game. Go back and make it right.
1114
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:55,180
So I sent the warlock a
whisper, apologized for trying and
1115
01:14:55,180 --> 01:14:58,580
succeeding to steal her kills,
and offered to come back and help
1116
01:14:58,580 --> 01:15:02,820
her finish the quest. She
accepted, we got the quest done for
1117
01:15:02,820 --> 01:15:06,380
her and went and then went on
to do all the rest of the dailies
1118
01:15:06,380 --> 01:15:10,300
on the island together. It
wasn't long till I let go of my stress
1119
01:15:10,300 --> 01:15:14,660
and found myself having fun
getting to know a new friend. I learned
1120
01:15:14,740 --> 01:15:18,820
that she had just recently hit
level 70 and had never raided before.
1121
01:15:19,540 --> 01:15:22,740
In fact, she claimed that she
had only joined a group with anyone
1122
01:15:22,740 --> 01:15:27,060
else once before for a dungeon
that didn't go great and made her
1123
01:15:27,060 --> 01:15:30,220
feel like maybe grouping with
people in this game wasn't really
1124
01:15:30,220 --> 01:15:33,680
for her. But being the
charming kid that I was back then,
1125
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,760
well, it wasn't hard to
convince her to give my guild of
1126
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,800
friendly adventurers a try so
she could have a better experience
1127
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,240
with grouping in the game. I
had no idea at the time that this
1128
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,400
event was a spark to a flame
that would grow into an absolute
1129
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,440
bonfire of life changing
events for us both. It's been nearly
1130
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:55,240
18 years since that day. I
still visit the Isle of Quel'danas
1131
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,600
from time to time and just sit
on the bridge near the area and reflect.
1132
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,400
Life has been a roller coaster
together, but I don't believe either
1133
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,720
one of us would change a thing
as we continue to love each other
1134
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,400
and the family we've built
together. Anyways, thanks for letting
1135
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,520
me share. I know it's a long
story, but I always enjoy an opportunity
1136
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,120
to share this with people. I
look forward to your content every
1137
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,680
week and appreciate all you're
doing for the community. Sincerely,
1138
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,240
Wreck Wow.
1139
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,790
Yeah, I. I don't know if it
was your reading of it or the content
1140
01:16:26,790 --> 01:16:36,630
that Rack sent us, but I'm
verklempt. Oh yeah, he has a topic
1141
01:16:36,630 --> 01:16:42,950
to discuss. The war in Bosnia.
Neither civil nor a war discuss.
1142
01:16:44,710 --> 01:16:49,720
Oh man, I love stories. Like
this. I love, love, love stories
1143
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,960
like this and that, you know,
it's crazy to think that you can
1144
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,120
write something like that.
That says 18 years since that day.
1145
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,760
That's how long this game's
been around. That's how long this
1146
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,600
game is impacting people and
that's how long and longer than that
1147
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,480
still that it, you know, like
people have grown to love it. That's
1148
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:13,040
why we're here, you know, we
love it. Yeah, it's just awesome
1149
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:14,880
that they've been.
Congratulations to them.
1150
01:17:15,300 --> 01:17:18,180
Yeah, yeah, they're, they're
doing good. I mean, that's the ultimate
1151
01:17:18,180 --> 01:17:20,340
quest, right? Oh, the ultimate quest.
1152
01:17:20,580 --> 01:17:21,060
Yeah.
1153
01:17:21,220 --> 01:17:26,300
You know, you meet an undead
warlock in, in game and all of a
1154
01:17:26,300 --> 01:17:31,940
sudden it just sparks. It's a
catalyst and true. You end up with
1155
01:17:31,940 --> 01:17:37,060
that person. They got a family
together still, just rocking it strong,
1156
01:17:37,460 --> 01:17:39,140
you know, with, with life.
1157
01:17:39,380 --> 01:17:41,270
The other quest is you marry
Jaina Proudmoore.
1158
01:17:41,820 --> 01:17:48,940
Yeah, buddy, that ship sailed
for me. Ship sailed for me. Oh, Jaina.
1159
01:17:48,940 --> 01:17:50,060
Oh, Jayna.
1160
01:17:50,380 --> 01:17:53,900
Yep. I love my wife. I love my
wife a lot.
1161
01:17:54,060 --> 01:17:58,260
I love my. Like, are you
repeating I love my wife. I love
1162
01:17:58,260 --> 01:17:59,460
my wife. I love my wife.
1163
01:17:59,460 --> 01:18:06,940
Is that reminding myself that
I love my wife? Certainly over a
1164
01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:11,660
cartoon character in a game,
but yes, friends, I freely admit
1165
01:18:11,660 --> 01:18:15,860
it, if there is any game
character that has my heart through
1166
01:18:15,860 --> 01:18:21,940
and through, it is Jaina
Proudmore and she's way above my
1167
01:18:21,940 --> 01:18:26,980
level. So never going to
happen. Okay, let's get back to rack.
1168
01:18:27,380 --> 01:18:31,380
Deeper Rack. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for sending this,
1169
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:33,980
this kind of story to us,
folks. If you have a story like this
1170
01:18:33,980 --> 01:18:37,850
as well, well, send it to us
because we love seeing this kind
1171
01:18:37,850 --> 01:18:40,570
of kind of stuff. And
honestly, if it doesn't make it in
1172
01:18:40,570 --> 01:18:45,490
the emails, it may make it in
the. I had to think of the name of
1173
01:18:45,490 --> 01:18:49,690
the segment. Forgot the name.
Heroes call board, but Hero Skullboard.
1174
01:18:49,690 --> 01:18:52,290
Right. That's one heck of a
story. I love it. I love it.
1175
01:18:52,370 --> 01:18:56,290
It is me too. And thank you
for, for sharing that with us. And
1176
01:18:56,290 --> 01:18:59,530
I wonder, I wonder if, like, I
want an update. Are you guys still
1177
01:18:59,530 --> 01:19:03,940
playing World of Warcraft
together? And I mean, hey, after
1178
01:19:04,180 --> 01:19:10,300
18 years, right, since that
day, your kiddos are maybe old enough
1179
01:19:10,300 --> 01:19:13,500
to start playing. I don't
know. I mean, there's got to be other
1180
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:16,460
people out there like me who
have been playing World of Warcraft
1181
01:19:16,460 --> 01:19:19,580
for a long, long time and
their kids are now playing World
1182
01:19:19,580 --> 01:19:23,220
of Warcraft, which is crazy.
Don't blink, take a lot of pictures
1183
01:19:23,380 --> 01:19:27,260
and kiss your damn kids
because that time goes by. So so
1184
01:19:27,260 --> 01:19:28,260
freaking fast.
1185
01:19:28,420 --> 01:19:28,980
Yep.
1186
01:19:29,060 --> 01:19:32,060
You know, that does. There'll
be a time where I start, you know,
1187
01:19:32,060 --> 01:19:34,860
measuring my daughter's age
off of World of Warcraft expansion
1188
01:19:34,860 --> 01:19:39,660
releases. She's. I mean,
Warcraft has been there for me the
1189
01:19:39,660 --> 01:19:40,260
whole time.
