Warcraft to Xbox?

1
00:00:52,460 --> 00:00:57,020
And Good Tuesday morning,
everybody. This is Azeroth Morning

2
00:00:57,180 --> 00:00:57,820
Radio.

3
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:01,620
Something about you seems familiar.

4
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:04,780
It's Warcraft. For the rest of
us here, the nine to fivers, those

5
00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:08,340
of us, the weekend warriors,
those of us who, parents, whatever

6
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:11,100
it is, but you still love
World of Warcraft. You only have

7
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,620
a few minutes to play. We are
your hosts. My name is Jibs, and

8
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:16,620
I'm joined by Cash.

9
00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:21,740
Hey, what's going on? I wasn't
expecting that. I was expecting some

10
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:23,980
kind of a backhanded insult.

11
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:28,500
I got one loaded. It's locked
and loaded. Okay. 2004's best ice

12
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:30,460
sculptor in Northrend. His
name is Keshe.

13
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:33,340
I like that. We're going to
Northrend, friends.

14
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:34,620
Going to Northrend.

15
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:44,380
It's cold up there, and I
happen to hate ice baths. Has anybody

16
00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:51,660
out there ever tried an ice
bath? It's supposed to be really

17
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:57,490
good for your health. What I
found is that it's insanely detrimental

18
00:01:57,970 --> 00:02:02,370
to your health because when
you get into an ice bath, it turns

19
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:03,410
out the water's cold.

20
00:02:03,410 --> 00:02:04,450
Turns out it sucks.

21
00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:11,450
It does. Okay, side story,
funny side story. We have ice. We

22
00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:16,450
have ice baths at work, at my
job, okay? And they're for people

23
00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:21,810
to use. And I have stared at
that thing for the better part of

24
00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:25,530
two years and watched, you
know, watched a lot of our employees

25
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:28,850
cycle through those things.
And, like, it's a lot of them, like,

26
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:31,170
that's their morning thing.
They just throw on their boardies

27
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:34,130
and then they hop in the ice
bath and shower up. They're ready

28
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:38,730
for the day. And I stare at it
and I go, I don't like cold water.

29
00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:43,410
I don't like. So I'm a
Southern California guy. I grew up

30
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:50,040
surfing. I grew up, would wear
a full wetsuit until the wa. Though.

31
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Until the water really warmed
up. Like, I'm Talking in the 70s

32
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,440
in the spring and summertime,
okay? Do not like cold water. It's

33
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,920
a mental toughness thing for
me, which is why I decided one day,

34
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,960
out of the blue, I stared at
that freaking ice bath thing and

35
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,400
I went, I'm gonna try it.
Threw all my boardies, went downstairs,

36
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,090
opened up the lid, jumped in
the ice bath. And I've regretted

37
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:19,210
it every day since. It was
brutal. Like, you want to talk about

38
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:24,450
talking yourself into staying
in something that is causing you

39
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:25,370
physical pain.

40
00:03:25,690 --> 00:03:28,090
Yeah, sounds like my first
four marriages.

41
00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:32,450
I made it for three minutes,
which was cool. And then when I got

42
00:03:32,450 --> 00:03:37,650
out, like every inch of my
skin was beet red and like I lost

43
00:03:37,650 --> 00:03:41,890
dexterity and I'm just like,
okay, I need a hot shower. Went upstairs,

44
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:46,250
took a hot shower. But yeah,
anyway, that's how I'm going to feel

45
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:50,330
in Northrend. Luckily I have
bear form on my druid, so if I'm

46
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:53,369
swimming through water and
actually have bare form and seal

47
00:03:53,369 --> 00:03:56,810
form, they'll both be okay in
the cold water. But anyway, for the

48
00:03:56,810 --> 00:04:01,090
Northrend reference, I went to
the cold water. That's where I land.

49
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:06,020
You know, I have purposely
been waiting to do like a Lore master

50
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:08,820
run in a very long time.
Mainly because I want to see if,

51
00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:13,740
you know, heroic world tier
comes to, you know, retail and. But

52
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:17,300
I was up in Not Borales. I'm
always up in Morales. I love that.

53
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,580
But I was over in Northrend
the other day at the Borean Tundra

54
00:04:20,580 --> 00:04:23,860
and I'm just looking around
and I'm just like. Because I was

55
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:26,300
getting the tricky treats, you
know, doing the candy buckets and

56
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:29,460
I'm looking around and. And
I'm just flying and you happen to

57
00:04:29,460 --> 00:04:31,700
be in channel all the time.
And I just couldn't get over. I'm

58
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,310
like, I can't wait. Can't wait
to. To sink my teeth in this story.

59
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:39,510
And I hope that that, you
know, heroic tear does become a thing.

60
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:42,150
So, you know, maybe somehow
other people who've already done

61
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:45,470
the quest can go do them again
or something. I don't know. But yeah,

62
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:49,069
it was. Gosh, I love that area
up there. It's beautiful. Man, that

63
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:50,190
was such a good expansion.

64
00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:52,910
From what I understand, they
are doing. They're doing a revamp

65
00:04:52,910 --> 00:04:53,950
of that, aren't they?

66
00:04:54,190 --> 00:04:57,030
Yeah. So that's gonna be the
last Titan. So midnight, we're going

67
00:04:57,030 --> 00:05:00,600
back to Quel' th Loss and
then. And then the last Titan, we're

68
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,680
going to Northrend. Yeah.

69
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Okay. So they're going to do
the same type of world revamp that

70
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,400
they're doing with Quel'
Thalas in Northrend, which is going

71
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,880
to be so sick.

72
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Oh yeah, yeah. And honestly,
that would be. That'd be perfect

73
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,000
if they did Rat's Lich King
remix at that time too. Remember

74
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,280
you talked about last episode?

75
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,680
Yeah, I remember talking about
that. And that actually it brings

76
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
things in line because, you
know, sometimes Blizzard does some

77
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,950
cryptic stuff. Right. And one
of their cryptic Things which is.

78
00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:33,310
Cat's out of the bag on it.
We're going to talk about a little

79
00:05:33,310 --> 00:05:37,750
bit later. But consoles. But
we're going to talk about that later.

80
00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:41,990
But I like the fact that
everything could line up for getting

81
00:05:42,869 --> 00:05:44,710
a Wrath of the Lich King remix.

82
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:45,470
Oh yeah.

83
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:48,230
Which. Oh man. Yeah.

84
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:48,790
Oh yeah.

85
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:49,390
It's gonna be good.

86
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:52,830
Speaking of the. Was it the
Sargeri Commander sets? I think that's

87
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:56,010
the term for it. The Transmog
sets, you know, that you're going

88
00:05:56,010 --> 00:05:59,570
for with the heroic. The
heroic tier for the world quests

89
00:05:59,570 --> 00:06:01,970
where you get the purple one.
And you know how we talked about

90
00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:05,770
we got our 30 key one last
week. Imagine what they would do

91
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:12,090
for wrath just covered in ice
and snow. It would just be amazing.

92
00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:14,890
It would be sick. And you know
what you're good at, buddy? You're

93
00:06:14,890 --> 00:06:19,890
good at segues. That segues
right into what I've done in Warcraft

94
00:06:19,890 --> 00:06:20,250
this week.

95
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:21,050
We'll go on.

96
00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:23,950
I mean, there's nothing like
having a ball on a tee.

97
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,150
I know. Teeing up.

98
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:28,910
Swing away, dog. So here I go.

99
00:06:29,310 --> 00:06:29,950
I had.

100
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:34,990
I had a continuation of what
was going on in real life last week.

101
00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:39,470
So I just. A bunch of real
life changes and stuff going on for

102
00:06:39,470 --> 00:06:41,830
me. Don't worry, show's not
going anywhere. If I have any focus

103
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:46,830
in this life. This show has
been so much fun for five episodes,

104
00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:51,660
you know, embarking on six,
that that's, that is not going anywhere.

105
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:55,780
Don't worry. Just, you know,
some big, big type life changes coming

106
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:01,180
up which I'm sure I'll get
into in future episodes. So my playtime

107
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:08,980
was a bit less this week, but
still able to dive into remix and

108
00:07:09,460 --> 00:07:13,980
dive into finishing up my
candy buckets stuff for Hollow's

109
00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:20,380
end. I did in fact get my
mount this week, which is great.

110
00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:25,900
I finally got it despite being
teased and harassed that all my friends

111
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:28,380
have already gotten their
mount like on their first damn run.

112
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:29,900
Listen to this guy.

113
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:34,580
And I'm running through it on
all. On all of my alts, which I don't

114
00:07:34,580 --> 00:07:39,180
have that well. I guess I have
a ton. But I don't tuss them. I don't

115
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:41,660
touch them. I don't touch
them. I said tuss.

116
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:42,550
Hmm.

117
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:47,630
But I meant. I meant touch and
dust get dust at the same time. They're

118
00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:49,510
in mothballs, basically, all
these two.

119
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:51,910
Yeah, I don't tuss them either.

120
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:59,990
I was plopping down the single
button rotation assistant on a bunch

121
00:07:59,990 --> 00:08:03,030
of them and just like blasting
through the dungeon. Well, it turns

122
00:08:03,030 --> 00:08:07,070
out you really only have the
best Chance. You only have a chance

123
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:08,950
of getting the mount on your
first run of the day.

124
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:09,500
Mm.

125
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,380
So I wasted a bunch of time,
but I got a lot of frickin candy

126
00:08:12,380 --> 00:08:16,820
treats through doing it
anyway. Got it. Finally got the mount.

127
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:22,340
I was stoked on that. And then
I would dive into Remix. But the

128
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:25,500
issue that I've been having
with the limited time is that right

129
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:29,380
now I'm working on that
particular set that you were talking

130
00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:34,740
about, that purple set in
remix that you get for completing

131
00:08:34,980 --> 00:08:43,719
100 Heroic Mode World quests.
But the lag man has just been so

132
00:08:43,719 --> 00:08:48,239
bad. I don't know if it's
server specific, but as an example,

133
00:08:48,719 --> 00:08:53,239
I would kill a bunch of things
and then when, when I'm looting said

134
00:08:53,239 --> 00:08:56,639
things, you know how the
window comes up and you have a list

135
00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:00,919
of things that, that you're
looting and normally it's like all

136
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:08,530
in your inventory. Well, this
one was like, boop boop boop. And

137
00:09:08,530 --> 00:09:11,890
I'm just going, what the hell
is happening? Was the same thing

138
00:09:11,890 --> 00:09:16,250
when I was breaking down gear
that I didn't need. It just was taking

139
00:09:16,570 --> 00:09:21,690
so long. And like I would go
to hop into flight mode and, or into

140
00:09:21,690 --> 00:09:26,930
my flight form and it would,
it put me up in the air, but my character

141
00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:30,470
would be swimming like,
literally like looking like my character

142
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:37,870
is in his, in his elf form but
he's swimming through the air. And

143
00:09:37,870 --> 00:09:42,830
then like three seconds later
I would pop into my owl and it was

144
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:46,670
just, the lag was just so bad.
So anyway, it became a bit unplayable

145
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:49,110
for me. So I had a little
frustration this week with that and

146
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:52,150
it's, it's sick. Like some
type. Some parts of the day it's

147
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,830
doing that where it's really,
really laggy and then other parts

148
00:09:54,830 --> 00:09:59,150
of the day it's fine, normal.
So I, I don't know, I mean that was,

149
00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:02,350
I'm just, I'm going through
Suramar and it's really hard to do

150
00:10:02,350 --> 00:10:05,190
quests and stuff like that
when you're, when you're dealing

151
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:07,950
with that kind of stuff. So
that was a little bit frustrating

152
00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:11,710
for me this week, but
otherwise I still got a decent amount

153
00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:15,870
of, of timing. You know,
Warcraft Azeroth is my, it's my escape.

154
00:10:15,950 --> 00:10:19,790
So I don't want to worry about
the stresses of the world. I dive

155
00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:22,950
in. So I make time for it
every single day. And my, my wife

156
00:10:22,950 --> 00:10:25,960
and my family are amazing.
They're like, no, go play, Go, go

157
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,520
have fun. Get your mind right.

158
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,800
Go get your ice bath first.

159
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,720
And then, yeah, you're Talking
about getting your mind right. Go

160
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,600
freaking freeze yourself like
a baby fur seal.

161
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,559
Voluntary. Put yourself on
ice. Yeah, no kidding. Warcraft's

162
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,520
been interesting this week.
The Shadow Priests did not stick,

163
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,960
unfortunately. I'll make this
quick, but I don't know what happened

164
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,080
after level 35 ish. But it's
like the class started really, really

165
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,320
well and I was having a great
time. And then as it went on it just

166
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,640
became less and less what it
was. It felt like the class was like

167
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,040
an in between point. Like it
could be this or it could be this.

168
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,920
And it just felt very
uncomfortable as a rotation. And

169
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
I'm like, what is going on? I
was talking to our good friend starkit.

170
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,720
You, you mentioned before and
I'm like, why does this feel so uncomfortable?

171
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,640
This rotation is just not fun.
He goes, oh yeah, that's Shadow Priest.

172
00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:20,810
What do you mean it's Shadow
Priest? This isn't Shadow Priest.

173
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:22,890
This isn't anything I remember
about Shadow Priest.

174
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:23,970
Why didn't you tell me?

175
00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:27,530
Why didn't you tell me this
would feel like this Poop mouth,

176
00:11:27,530 --> 00:11:33,330
broad poop mouth poop coming
out of your mouth. So anyway, I,

177
00:11:33,330 --> 00:11:37,290
you know, I was just like this
is. This is not what I. This was

178
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:40,210
not. This isn't the Shadow
Priest I remember. And so I'm like,

179
00:11:40,210 --> 00:11:43,290
this is. Unfortunately just
felt very uncomfortable and like

180
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:46,250
I just really wasn't enjoying
it nearly as much as I. As I loved.

181
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:49,450
And so I went and tried
something else. After a while I landed

182
00:11:49,450 --> 00:11:53,510
on Shaman. Been having a good
time with him. So that's definitely

183
00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:57,870
my caster. Alt right now is a
Resto Shaman Kul Tiran basically

184
00:11:57,870 --> 00:12:00,590
AKA a Tide Sage. So I'm having
a wonderful time.

185
00:12:01,070 --> 00:12:05,790
Yeah. If you were to take
anything for jibs and put it into

186
00:12:05,949 --> 00:12:10,750
a nice tight little gift
package and. And wrap it with a beautiful

187
00:12:10,750 --> 00:12:16,850
bow, it would be anything that
has anything to do with, with Kul

188
00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:23,930
Tirans or Boralus and
specifically Tidesages. So I don't

189
00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:28,850
know folks, we'll see if this
one sticks. But again, I've been

190
00:12:28,850 --> 00:12:32,930
surprised before and I have to
tell the story because I did mention

191
00:12:32,930 --> 00:12:39,930
it on last week's show and I
do enjoy listening to our previous

192
00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:44,270
show before we record this
week's show because it gets, it really

193
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:48,030
gets my juices flowing. Every
once in a while we'll, you know,

194
00:12:48,030 --> 00:12:50,990
I'll, I'll. We'll run into
something. It's like, ooh, we should.

195
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:53,910
We should probably make a
revision on that on this week's show

196
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:56,230
because we were wrong. There
or something. But it gets my juices

197
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:59,190
flowing. So I like to listen
to last week's show before we record

198
00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:05,470
this week's show. And I found
that Jibs was super pumped about

199
00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:09,690
his Shadow Priest. I was
loving it this week's show. And then

200
00:13:09,690 --> 00:13:12,570
I was like, oh, this is
definitely going to be a topic of

201
00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:16,490
conversation on this week's
show. Because, you know, I made the

202
00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:21,290
point that he switches manes,
like he switches underwear.

203
00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:25,930
I feel like I'm a circus act
and everyone, it's. I'm the focus

204
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:28,850
of whatever I'm playing. Like,
it becomes a thing no matter what.

205
00:13:28,930 --> 00:13:31,370
I could switch to a mage and
be like, what are you playing? It

206
00:13:31,370 --> 00:13:34,090
wouldn't even be you. It'd be
someone from. Our close friends are

207
00:13:34,090 --> 00:13:36,770
like, what are you playing a
mage for? Like, it's a thing. I'm

208
00:13:36,770 --> 00:13:37,810
like, let me just play that game.

209
00:13:38,770 --> 00:13:40,410
You think they sense the trend
as well?

210
00:13:40,410 --> 00:13:42,370
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder where
they get the fuel from.

211
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:46,650
Well, they're just not on the
show with a platform to be able to

212
00:13:46,650 --> 00:13:48,850
blast it out to all the
people. It's true.

213
00:13:49,330 --> 00:13:52,570
That's exactly right. Well,
folks, again, thank you so much for

214
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:55,650
pushing play, hanging out with
us here today at Azeroth Morning

215
00:13:55,650 --> 00:13:59,650
Radio. This week on the show
lvy calls it. It's a big show, folks.

216
00:13:59,650 --> 00:14:04,460
It's a big show. LVUI calls it
quits. Warcraft is. Look, it looks

217
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:08,100
like it is coming to console.
Legion Remix player does some crazy

218
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:10,940
stuff. All that and more right
after the commercial break. We'll

219
00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:11,500
be right back.

220
00:14:12,620 --> 00:14:16,460
Hey, everyone, Cash and Jibbs
here and we wanted you to be part

221
00:14:16,460 --> 00:14:17,800
of Azeroth Morning Radio.
We're putting together something

222
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,150
special to showcase our
amazing community right here on the

223
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:18,197
show itself. All you need to
do is record a short voice clip of

224
00:14:18,197 --> 00:14:18,205
yourself saying this line and
make it your own. Hi, I'm your character

225
00:14:18,205 --> 00:14:18,205
name. And when I'm not in
something funny, personal or totally

226
00:14:18,205 --> 00:14:18,205
chaotic, I'm listening to
Azeroth Morning Radio. Here'sa few

227
00:14:18,205 --> 00:14:18,205
examples. Hi, I'm Leaf
Spinner. And when I'm not falling

228
00:14:18,205 --> 00:14:18,205
off Zeppelins, I'm listening
to Azeroth Morning Radio. Hi, I'm

229
00:14:18,205 --> 00:14:18,205
Leaf Spinner. WhenI'm not
raiding at 3am, I'm listening to

230
00:14:16,814 --> 00:14:17,886
Azeroth Morning Radio. Keep it
short, have fun with it and don't

231
00:14:17,886 --> 00:14:18,026
worry about perfection. We
want your real personality and in

232
00:14:18,026 --> 00:14:18,194
game charm to shine through.
Quick tip, you don't need fancy gear.

233
00:14:12,620 --> 00:14:16,352
Justuse the voice recorder
app on your phone, hit record and

234
00:14:16,352 --> 00:14:17,956
send us the file. Pretty Easy.
Once you've got your clip, email

235
00:14:17,956 --> 00:14:17,984
it to
us@azerothmorningradiomail.com we'll

236
00:14:17,984 --> 00:14:18,061
pick our favorites to feature
in future episodes. So you might

237
00:14:18,061 --> 00:14:18,145
just hear your own voice on
the show. Because, let's be real,

238
00:14:18,145 --> 00:14:18,208
Azeroth's always better when
we can share it together.

239
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:30,710
Hi, I'm Morana. When I'm not
the official cat herder in chief

240
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:34,630
for pulling aggro irl, I'm
listening to Azeroth Morning Radio.

241
00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:43,830
All right, everybody, welcome
back. It's Azeroth Morning Radio.

242
00:15:43,830 --> 00:15:47,070
Appreciate you all so much for
continuing to listen and tune in

243
00:15:47,070 --> 00:15:50,530
the episode every week. But
let's go ahead and get things started

244
00:15:50,530 --> 00:15:51,490
with the Heroes Call.

245
00:15:55,090 --> 00:16:00,250
When I read this story, blew
my mind, right? And made me a little

246
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:05,170
sick to my stomach, but
especially because, you know, with

247
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:08,490
I'm taking my time in Remix,
I'm at the point now where, like,

248
00:16:08,490 --> 00:16:14,010
I'm taking my time. I had my.
I had my. The portion of the leveling

249
00:16:14,010 --> 00:16:18,250
experience where. Where I was
blasting through some stuff and it

250
00:16:18,250 --> 00:16:21,730
felt wrong, it felt dirt. I
felt dirty. Not reading Quest text.

251
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:25,810
I'm like, somebody took time
to write this story. I should probably

252
00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:30,890
give them the time that's
required to read the story and enjoy

253
00:16:30,890 --> 00:16:31,129
it.

254
00:16:31,129 --> 00:16:34,050
Remember what you always used
to say? Every time you speed through

255
00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:36,050
story, a developer loses their wings.

256
00:16:36,450 --> 00:16:44,160
Yes, and that is exactly true.
Every time you ring the bell, an

257
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,440
angel gets their wings. Well,
it's the same type of thing, folks.

258
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Every time you spacebar
through story, a developer loses

259
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:58,040
their wings. Remember that. So
anyway, player Cam Lee in Legion

260
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Remix. Where's that camel?
That's Camel spelled very, very different.

261
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,039
Player Camel made a new
character in Remix, skip the artifact

262
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:13,679
quest, set it to hero
difficulty, and farmed Tormented

263
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:21,599
Sky Sunders in Stormheim with
a level 80 paladin. Okay, in 22 minutes

264
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:27,839
and 42 seconds, they leveled
from level 10 to 80, making it probably

265
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:33,799
the fastest Legion Remix run
so far and making me a little of

266
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:34,559
a klempt.

267
00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:35,730
That's insane.

268
00:17:35,730 --> 00:17:39,210
My gosh, dude, that's so fast.

269
00:17:39,770 --> 00:17:43,490
22 minutes. But can you
imagine what that. What is that on

270
00:17:43,490 --> 00:17:45,450
average? Let's get the
calculator out. Let's do this live.

271
00:17:45,450 --> 00:17:50,889
We're doing it live, folks. 22
divided by 80 levels, right? Level

272
00:17:50,889 --> 00:17:56,730
80. That what they said? Yeah,
that's every 27 seconds they're leveling.

273
00:17:57,130 --> 00:17:58,010
That's insane.

274
00:17:58,170 --> 00:18:00,290
I would imagine they would
have had to do this with somebody

275
00:18:00,290 --> 00:18:00,650
else.

276
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,080
Oh, they definitely did. They
had. They had someone helping them

277
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,920
farm I think it was a. Yeah,
it says a level 80 paladin was helping

278
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,080
them.

279
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,720
Farm with a level 80 paladin.
Okay, that makes sense. So the level

280
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,560
80 pallet paladin is the one
that's doing all the damage, basically.

281
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,240
Yeah. You're just sitting
there reaping the rewards.

282
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,920
Okay, now that this whole.
This whole shtick makes sense to

283
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,400
me now. So you're reaping the
rewards of it. But anyway, 22 minutes.

284
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,700
And this goes right along with
what Blizzard wanted for Remix. They

285
00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:34,340
wanted experimentation, they
wanted players to break the game.

286
00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:37,780
And that is exactly what
happened here. And I just think it.

287
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:41,500
This is Heroes Call Board. All
day long, new and amazing things

288
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,660
that characters are doing,
players are doing. This certainly

289
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:49,260
meets Heroes Call Board
criteria because I just. That doesn't

290
00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:53,260
register with me in 22 minutes
and 42 seconds how somebody could

291
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:58,020
go from 10 to 80. But that's
remix. It's wild, it's wacky, it's

292
00:18:58,020 --> 00:18:58,300
fun.

293
00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:01,980
Yeah, yeah, it really is. It's
not normal. Like, so, you know, like.

294
00:19:01,980 --> 00:19:05,940
Like we talked last week, you
know, we mentioned 30 plus 30, mythics

295
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:08,700
and other. The sort of things,
but it's with a heavy asterisk because

296
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:12,540
it's not like your normal
thing, you know, so it's like you

297
00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:15,820
just get in and. And just go
and it's. It's weird. It's like.

298
00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:19,980
It reminds me back in the day
whenever I would play PlayStation

299
00:19:19,980 --> 00:19:22,980
and I had a game shark and I
had it plugged into the back of the

300
00:19:22,980 --> 00:19:26,240
PlayStation where. Which you
could enable cheats, you know, and

301
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760
so, yeah, that kind of dates
me at this point. So anyway, I'm

302
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,960
sitting there doing my thing
and I'm. That's what I feel like.

303
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,480
I feel like I have in Remix,
it's like you've got all the cheat

304
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,880
codes on. Everything's dialed
up to 11, you know, then just go.

305
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,320
And so it's fun.

306
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,880
It. It can be fun. I would
imagine that this would. This was

307
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,320
like, really fun for them just
to see what. What they could do.

308
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,010
They obviously had a timer on
it, which is super cool. Completely

309
00:19:51,010 --> 00:19:54,130
opposite from the way I do
business when I have a new character.

310
00:19:54,130 --> 00:19:55,050
Oh, my gosh, me too.

311
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:59,250
And I. I want to go into. Into
that a little bit because I still

312
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:03,610
think that the way. Especially
when you and I level a character,

313
00:20:03,850 --> 00:20:08,370
a fresh character together,
and it doesn't necessarily mean that

314
00:20:08,370 --> 00:20:10,890
we're all. We're running
dungeons and stuff together, but

315
00:20:11,370 --> 00:20:16,880
the way Jibs and I like to do
it is we. We don't run with heirloom

316
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,640
gear. And if you're unfamiliar
with heirloom gear, it is gear that

317
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,000
it spans your whole warband.
And it is gear that basically scales

318
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,040
with you as you level, you
know, depending on like how you've

319
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,200
kind of specced it out. And if
you know you have the higher tiers

320
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,480
of heirloom level that you can
accumulate over the years through,

321
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,810
you know, events and buying it
and stuff, then you can get gear

322
00:20:41,810 --> 00:20:45,090
that will last you from level
one to level 80. So you don't ever

323
00:20:45,090 --> 00:20:48,090
have. You can just, you can
vendor all the gear you get from

324
00:20:48,090 --> 00:20:51,690
quests and, and all the things
you're doing in the game just vendor

325
00:20:51,690 --> 00:20:53,690
at all because it's not going
to be better than your heirloom gear.

326
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:57,850
So it's basically leveling
gear. But we do it without heirloom

327
00:20:57,850 --> 00:21:04,530
gear. We don't buy bags, we
don't transfer gold from other characters.

328
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:09,170
Like we try to make the
leveling experience in retail as

329
00:21:09,170 --> 00:21:15,590
vanilla as possible. And we
tried 100 zones and it works until

330
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:19,670
about level 40 ish. Is it 40?

331
00:21:20,150 --> 00:21:21,230
Yeah, just about.

332
00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:24,990
Isn't it about 40? Because at
some point you, you don't get a.

333
00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:31,190
You get like barely any XP at
all for doing quests and zones.

334
00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:35,910
So is that 40 or is that 60
and classic? I think it's 40. Unless

335
00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:39,530
you've got like, if you're. If
you go talk to Chromie and she puts

336
00:21:39,530 --> 00:21:42,290
you in XYZ timeline, I'm not
sure which one I want to say. It's

337
00:21:42,290 --> 00:21:45,290
dragonflight. Everything in
the old world, the classic world

338
00:21:45,290 --> 00:21:51,050
is up to 60. I think outside
of that it stops around 40ish. And

339
00:21:51,050 --> 00:21:56,850
then from there you can go and
do like Cult, you can go do Kiras

340
00:21:56,850 --> 00:22:01,290
if you want it and that's up
to 60 and then dragonflights to 70.

341
00:22:01,370 --> 00:22:04,250
It's pretty much always where
we land, pretty much because we,

342
00:22:04,330 --> 00:22:09,690
we really do and Jibs more
than I. But we really love like that

343
00:22:09,690 --> 00:22:14,250
is just such a fun area to go
to go through. So, so good. But that's

344
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:17,890
how we do it. We do it as
vanilla as possible without any help.

345
00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:21,450
Like and we're earning the
gold that we need for bags. And so

346
00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:23,730
we're, you know, we're
struggling with inventory because

347
00:22:23,730 --> 00:22:25,930
we know how to play like
retail players. But when you have

348
00:22:25,930 --> 00:22:28,690
a brand new character and
you're not taking advantage of a

349
00:22:28,690 --> 00:22:31,290
lot of quality of life things
or transferring gold from another

350
00:22:31,290 --> 00:22:35,980
character to your brand new
character, it slows everything down

351
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:42,260
and allows us to take in the
world and Smell the roses and bring

352
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:46,940
your professions all the way
up. Like, to this day, some of the

353
00:22:46,940 --> 00:22:53,180
most relaxing and enjoyable
moments in this game for me are when

354
00:22:53,180 --> 00:22:56,860
I am leveling a new character
in either because I play alliance

355
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:02,830
in either Elwyn or in
Darnassus because, let's face it,

356
00:23:02,830 --> 00:23:05,910
a hundred percent of the time,
my character is Night Elf a hundred

357
00:23:05,910 --> 00:23:11,430
percent of the time. So a lot
of times I will make the run from

358
00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:15,590
Darnassus to Elwyn and I'll
level there. Or a lot of the times

359
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:19,990
I will stay in my homeland and
go through everything in Darnassus

360
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:25,250
and I will pick every flower.
I will kill all the things for skinning

361
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,520
to get those. To get those
gathering professions all the way

362
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,720
up. Use it to fund the things
that I want to do. But it really

363
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,440
does slow down the game a lot.
So a bit different from Camel, how

364
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,240
he, you know, he took a super
powerful buddy with him and just

365
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,120
grinded this thing out. But
that is typically how. How Jibs and

366
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,320
I will do new characters. And
for us, it helps us seat ourselves

367
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:54,810
with that character, get
familiar with the class, get familiar

368
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:59,290
with where our character lives
in the world. And I understand that

369
00:23:59,290 --> 00:24:04,250
that is super nerdy. It's on
the super nerdy side. But this is

370
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:08,250
an rpg, so I like to get into
the role playing aspects and feel

371
00:24:08,250 --> 00:24:10,970
like my character has a place
in the world. He's a fledgling right

372
00:24:10,970 --> 00:24:12,410
now. He's just a baby.

373
00:24:12,410 --> 00:24:13,730
Just a wee little lady.

374
00:24:13,730 --> 00:24:17,480
He's just a wee little. And we
got to get him up to speed. So, yeah,

375
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,040
little different from Camel,
but it's how we do business.

376
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,640
Yeah, there's a lot to unpack
there, man. We have so many things

377
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,920
we need to talk about. I will
say this real quick. I'm doing that

378
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,120
with my shaman to an extent.
Like before I even say that, I will

379
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,120
add to what you said. You
really want to slow things down.

380
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:35,640
Don't allow yourself to fly.
Just have a mount that just runs.

381
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Don't fly, just run. And
that's fun too. With my shaman, what

382
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:42,840
I've been doing is just trying
to take everything in as much as

383
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,430
I possibly can with him. And
so, like, in my head, I kind of put

384
00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:50,910
him in the world. So I'm going
to merchants around Borales. I'm

385
00:24:50,910 --> 00:24:53,350
buying bags from Borales,
aside from the reagent bag, because

386
00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:56,430
I couldn't find one there. So
I had to, you know, go to the markets

387
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,710
and. But anyway, yeah, I mean,
it's a blast when you can really

388
00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:02,430
slow things down and take in
your character.

389
00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:08,349
Breaking news. Brought to all
of yous from the Goblin News Network

390
00:25:08,510 --> 00:25:13,880
By the Goblin News Network
Network. World of Warcraft in all

391
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:21,200
games coming to next gen Xbox
Console per Windows Central. This

392
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,920
coming to us from wowhead.com
now real quick everyone who's tuning

393
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,880
in, we are recording early
this week so something major outside

394
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,040
of this comes out. No, it's
going to be a week later, but this

395
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,720
was pretty big. So Windows
Central is reporting that next gen

396
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,900
Xbox consoles will run full
windows, allowing PC games to operate

397
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:43,540
directly on the console. This
includes Battle.net meaning World

398
00:25:43,540 --> 00:25:47,500
of Warcraft will technically
be playable on Xbox. Users could

399
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:51,980
run WoW alongside other PC
only titles, giving console players

400
00:25:51,980 --> 00:25:55,820
access to the game without
needing a dedicated PC. The article

401
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:59,940
clarifies this is not a native
console port. It works because the

402
00:25:59,940 --> 00:26:04,420
Xbox can run the Windows
version of wow. Exiting to full Windows

403
00:26:04,420 --> 00:26:08,460
will also allow access to add
ons, mods and other PC only tools,

404
00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:11,530
though changes in midnight may
affect some functionality. So this

405
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:15,170
opens the door for console
players to experience wow, potentially

406
00:26:15,170 --> 00:26:19,050
bringing the MMO to a new
audience. While speculation has followed

407
00:26:19,050 --> 00:26:22,050
Blizzard's acquisition by
Microsoft Windows Central notes,

408
00:26:22,050 --> 00:26:27,650
the focus is on running all PC
games, not a direct console launch.

409
00:26:27,650 --> 00:26:28,370
Your thoughts?

410
00:26:29,890 --> 00:26:34,810
I love how they I love how
they say While speculation has followed

411
00:26:34,810 --> 00:26:37,890
Blizzard's acquisition by
Microsoft Windows Central notes,

412
00:26:37,890 --> 00:26:42,520
the focus is on running all PC
games, not just World of Warcraft.

413
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:50,080
And I call bs. World of
Warcraft is the Titan. Why would

414
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,440
they not make this the focus?
And the driver behind the other ones

415
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,640
are like, here's the board
meeting. Okay, okay, I get that this

416
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,880
game will work. This game will
work and this game will work and

417
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,120
that game will probably work,
but will World of Warcraft work?

418
00:27:05,090 --> 00:27:09,970
Yes. Okay, goal post. Thank
you very much. The Titan will work.

419
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:14,010
So let's. We'll worry about
all the other stuff later. I bet

420
00:27:14,010 --> 00:27:17,130
you the support for World of
Warcraft is going to be massive for

421
00:27:17,130 --> 00:27:18,850
this. Why? Because.

422
00:27:19,090 --> 00:27:19,570
Hi.

423
00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:25,330
That's what that sounded like.
I truly believe that World of Warcraft

424
00:27:25,330 --> 00:27:30,770
being such a juggernaut in the
space they wanted to branch out.

425
00:27:31,270 --> 00:27:37,030
And let's face it, as another
one of these bullet points, the article

426
00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:42,630
clarifies that this is not a
native console port. It works because

427
00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:47,990
the Xbox can run the Windows
version of wow. WOW is a very accessible

428
00:27:48,150 --> 00:27:54,390
game. Right? We're finally at
the point to where consoles can very

429
00:27:54,710 --> 00:28:01,700
well, very easily run World of
Warcraft. So why would they not want

430
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:06,660
to do this? My personal
opinion on this, I think it deserves

431
00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:11,620
the sandwich method jibs. I
really do. And we know the sandwich

432
00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:15,380
Method. Well, because we use
it with each other. We start with

433
00:28:15,380 --> 00:28:20,660
a positive and then we vomit
all the negative stuff that we think

434
00:28:20,660 --> 00:28:23,860
is probably going to happen or
how we feel about a certain topic,

435
00:28:23,860 --> 00:28:26,770
and then we end with a positive.

436
00:28:27,730 --> 00:28:30,210
It's true, it's true.

437
00:28:30,850 --> 00:28:37,130
There's a lot to this and a
lot to unpack on this. But why do

438
00:28:37,130 --> 00:28:42,330
we think that this could be a
good thing for Warcraft? I'll start

439
00:28:42,330 --> 00:28:46,610
with one example, then I'll
give it to you. One example. Okay.

440
00:28:46,690 --> 00:28:47,250
Yep.

441
00:28:47,330 --> 00:28:52,660
Probably the biggest. The
elephant in the room. Okay. Opening

442
00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:58,380
this up to the console
platform is going to introduce a

443
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:03,060
ton more people to this game.
There's a lot of people out there

444
00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:07,900
that, that may have a PC and
may have a console as well, but I

445
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:10,660
truly believe there's even
more people out there that choose

446
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:15,060
one or the other. They're
expensive, especially PCs. PCs are

447
00:29:15,060 --> 00:29:18,550
super expensive. So I would
say a majority of people out there

448
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:27,430
especially, you know, as a, as
a generational fact, a lot of gamers

449
00:29:27,430 --> 00:29:29,950
are younger gamers, even
though we have a lot of older gamers

450
00:29:29,950 --> 00:29:32,910
nowadays. But we, there's a
lot of gamers. Probably the largest

451
00:29:32,910 --> 00:29:35,950
part of the audience are
younger gamers. And I would venture

452
00:29:35,950 --> 00:29:38,950
to guess that most of them are
console players. So this is going

453
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:46,230
to introduce World of Warcraft
as an MMO to a ton more people. And

454
00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:49,230
that's positive for Blizzard
and it's a positive for our player

455
00:29:49,230 --> 00:29:49,710
population.

456
00:29:50,270 --> 00:29:53,710
I agree wholeheartedly. It
absolutely will open up to new people.

457
00:29:53,710 --> 00:29:58,030
Think what it did for eso. And
they did everything on a mega server.

458
00:29:58,110 --> 00:30:04,430
You know, like that was
insane. So I, while you were talking,

459
00:30:04,750 --> 00:30:08,430
I did a quick search and of
course I used AI, so take this with

460
00:30:08,430 --> 00:30:11,730
an asterisk. Okay. I said, so
what is the percentage of player

461
00:30:11,730 --> 00:30:15,290
base Blizzard would open up
World of Warcraft to if they brought

462
00:30:15,290 --> 00:30:19,810
Warcraft to console? Here's
what ChatGPT says. If Blizzard Entertainment

463
00:30:19,810 --> 00:30:22,530
ported it to consoles,
assuming a modest conservative adoption

464
00:30:22,530 --> 00:30:26,250
from console only players,
existing PC players switching optimistic

465
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:30,530
case maybe to 20 30% of growth
of the current player base, aka an

466
00:30:30,530 --> 00:30:36,090
extra roughly 2 to 3 million
players. More cautious case, somewhere

467
00:30:36,090 --> 00:30:40,490
in the neighborhood of greater
or less than 800,000 to 1.5 million

468
00:30:40,490 --> 00:30:44,610
additional players. So in
other words, bringing WOW to console

469
00:30:44,610 --> 00:30:47,810
could realistically open it up
to an additional 10 to 30% of its

470
00:30:47,810 --> 00:30:51,050
current active user base.
Yeah, that's a lot.

471
00:30:51,050 --> 00:30:56,850
That's a ton. Now let me ask
you this question. What does, what

472
00:30:56,850 --> 00:30:59,610
is it called? Windows Central.

473
00:30:59,850 --> 00:31:00,330
Yeah.

474
00:31:01,220 --> 00:31:05,300
Okay, so this is gonna run on
Xbox's service. Right.

475
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:06,820
I imagine.

476
00:31:07,940 --> 00:31:09,460
Yeah. I'm looking at her notes here.

477
00:31:09,540 --> 00:31:12,340
I believe it would run off
Windows. So it would run off the.

478
00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:15,700
I imagine that would look like
it runs off the Windows servers maybe.

479
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:16,260
I don't know.

480
00:31:16,260 --> 00:31:17,940
So they would still have to
have battle that account.

481
00:31:18,020 --> 00:31:18,980
Yeah, I believe so.

482
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:21,780
So the price would. The price
would be the same. It's not like

483
00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:23,180
a Game Pass thing.

484
00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:24,420
Where I would hope.

485
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:28,920
Have. Okay. Because that would
be. I'm sure that the smart people

486
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,080
over there have already
figured that part out. Could you

487
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,840
imagine if it was like, oh,
yeah, Game Pass is only $10 a month,

488
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,200
but I'm over here on PC.

489
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,720
Well, I tell you, 15 bucks a
month. We just canceled our Game

490
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,200
Pass because they brought up
to $30 a month now for the whole.

491
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,160
The whole shebang.

492
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:43,880
Ooh.

493
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,480
So. Yeah, I know. So like
that. Could they include a subscription

494
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,160
of. Wow. Imagine that.
Marketing move. I know this is kind

495
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,320
of like way off the rails
here. Launches on World of Warcraft

496
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,630
on Game Pass subscription
include. Your subscriptions include.

497
00:31:56,630 --> 00:31:59,910
With Game Pass, you know, how
many people would play. It'd be insane.

498
00:32:00,230 --> 00:32:03,430
It would be nuts. So. So I
think that's. That's the number one

499
00:32:03,910 --> 00:32:08,510
plus to this. Another one is
gonna be that, you know, quality

500
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:10,950
of life for. For everybody's
gonna go up because you're gonna

501
00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:14,390
get to play the game on a
controller natively on a controller

502
00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:17,110
without any. Without any
issue. Well, hopefully without any

503
00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:21,190
issues. I still don't know how
I would play this on. On a controller

504
00:32:21,660 --> 00:32:23,740
with limited buttons.

505
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:25,940
Single button rotation is how
you do it.

506
00:32:25,940 --> 00:32:28,420
Single button rotation, which,
you know what? Hey, man. If that

507
00:32:28,420 --> 00:32:31,980
makes the game accessible to
people sitting in their Barclayounger

508
00:32:32,220 --> 00:32:37,539
on a big screen TV playing
World of Warcraft, okay, man. I just

509
00:32:37,539 --> 00:32:40,700
got all kinds of ideas just
sparked in my mind. I could literally

510
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:46,780
play World of Warcraft on an
Xbox sitting in my Barca lounger

511
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:49,270
and just. Even if you're just
like, right. Running around.

512
00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:50,150
Yeah.

513
00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:55,270
And just flying and, you know,
picking up nodes.

514
00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:55,910
Yep.

515
00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:59,390
Oh, man, I've never even
thought of that because I'm such

516
00:32:59,390 --> 00:33:01,190
a PC freaking snob.

517
00:33:01,510 --> 00:33:05,030
If you think about it. You
know, ESO worked for console because

518
00:33:05,030 --> 00:33:09,430
of the limited ability
options. So in eso, for those of

519
00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:12,350
you who have never played
Elder Scrolls Online, it allows.

520
00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:15,750
I think it's like four
abilities plus your ultimate or whatever

521
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:18,830
that is that's called. I'm
forgetting at the moment. And then

522
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:21,350
you have a back bar of a
different weapon with different ability,

523
00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:24,910
different four abilities, and
then your ultimate there as well.

524
00:33:25,230 --> 00:33:29,710
It Worked on console because
it was simplified on an ability standpoint.

525
00:33:30,029 --> 00:33:32,990
And so they're already kind of
on that track in two fronts. Number

526
00:33:32,990 --> 00:33:37,950
one, Midnight's really
focusing down a lot of the rotation

527
00:33:38,670 --> 00:33:40,790
and that's a whole other
conversation because we're seeing

528
00:33:40,790 --> 00:33:43,820
some things, some crazy things
that people are saying. You know,

529
00:33:43,820 --> 00:33:48,380
like they're. The classes are
oversimplified or this feels really

530
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:53,020
good. So it's kind of all over
the place. But also you have the

531
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:58,060
single button rotation. So
it's really, it's really kind of

532
00:33:58,060 --> 00:34:02,100
attacking that issue of too
many skills, skill bloat for a console

533
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,540
release with those two things.
And so if you can get those things

534
00:34:05,540 --> 00:34:10,180
down and the servers run
great. We saw it with eso. If you're

535
00:34:10,180 --> 00:34:14,500
able to handle your servers
okay, abilities are okay, you're

536
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:18,180
able to chat, figure that out.
People are off to the races and they'll

537
00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:18,420
go.

538
00:34:18,660 --> 00:34:23,140
They will. And it brings up
other questions though. It brings

539
00:34:23,140 --> 00:34:26,380
up a lot of speculation from
people and it is definitely out there

540
00:34:26,380 --> 00:34:29,700
right now that people are
thinking, you know, with like this,

541
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:34,310
the single button assistant
stuff. It. I'm still a fan, definitely

542
00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:37,830
a fan of it. I, as I said, I
just start. I started using it on

543
00:34:37,830 --> 00:34:43,390
some of my alts to run, you
know, dungeons for, for the hollows

544
00:34:43,390 --> 00:34:48,390
and drop. And I can see how it
makes everything super accessible

545
00:34:48,390 --> 00:34:53,030
for people. Okay. I can also
see that. I don't want to say dumbing

546
00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:56,270
down the classes, I want to
say streamlining, I want to say making

547
00:34:56,590 --> 00:35:01,520
our classes more efficient is
how it's being presented to us with

548
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,440
these changes that are coming
in to Midnight. But it. You cannot

549
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:12,320
overlook the fact that this is
coming at the same exact time as

550
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,640
the console releases. So you.
There's folks out there that are

551
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,080
speculating all these quality
of life things that are coming and

552
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,480
dumbing down the rotations and
all this stuff and making skills

553
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:28,480
easier and more streamlined.
It's because of porting it to consoles,

554
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:29,600
right?

555
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:30,160
Yeah.

556
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,560
You can't overshadow that fact
that it's all happening at the same

557
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,280
time. So whether it was a two
birds with one stone thing, we're

558
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,160
making the game more
accessible for people and we're bringing

559
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,360
its consoles at the same time.
Whether or not you feel that that

560
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,320
was like a completely planned
thing and maybe it's just not getting

561
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:54,240
admitted or not it's
happening. So you know, they're bringing

562
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,960
a cross platform type of
ecosystem, which is one thing that

563
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,640
I'll say that they will have
up on games like Elder Scrolls Online

564
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,000
because you still can't play
with your friends. If you're playing

565
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,880
on Xbox and you're and all
your other friends are playing on

566
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,080
PC, they haven't changed that,
have they?

567
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,440
They haven't. And this hasn't
even been confirmed that it would

568
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,010
be crossplay if it did come to
console. I'm assuming it would be

569
00:36:18,010 --> 00:36:21,570
because you're running again
off of the Windows. It's weird because

570
00:36:21,570 --> 00:36:24,410
like you're running off the
Windows servers. It sounds like you're

571
00:36:24,410 --> 00:36:25,370
going through the client.

572
00:36:25,530 --> 00:36:28,410
Yeah. So it sounds like if
you're going through the client then

573
00:36:28,410 --> 00:36:30,610
it would be, wouldn't matter
what you're playing on.

574
00:36:30,610 --> 00:36:30,890
Right.

575
00:36:30,890 --> 00:36:33,290
You're going to be able to
play with your friends. If you're,

576
00:36:33,450 --> 00:36:36,330
you know, sitting on your
couch playing on your Xbox, you can

577
00:36:36,330 --> 00:36:41,050
play with your PC friends,
which is huge because that would

578
00:36:41,050 --> 00:36:44,300
be an instant population boost
for sure. They wouldn't have their

579
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:47,620
own servers and stuff like
that. So you know, another positive,

580
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:54,180
I think it brings more of a
casual and social appeal to the game

581
00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:58,100
which, you know, you could say
that the streamlining of skills and

582
00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:03,580
the saying bye bye to a lot of
add ons and stuff could be all part

583
00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:11,120
of that. Encouraging Blizzard
to expand and the game, making it

584
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,880
more accessible, fun, quicker
content loops for people if they

585
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,360
have less time. You know,
things like the events delves. For

586
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,320
sure. You know, there's things
out there that Blizzard has put into

587
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,360
the game that make the game
more accessible for quick content.

588
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,080
Yeah.

589
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,240
And a lot of times, you know,
people playing on consoles like they

590
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:34,280
only have time for that.
They're not sitting down for six

591
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,960
or eight hour sessions playing
at least if they are, their wives

592
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,280
are yelling at them in the background.

593
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:39,680
Right.

594
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,960
So revitalizing old content. I
think that's another good one too

595
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,040
because you're going to have a
bunch of people who have always played

596
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,360
console and they have never
had the opportunity to play World

597
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,320
of Warcraft and now they are
going to be going through all of

598
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,920
those vanilla zones.

599
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,440
Yeah, yeah.

600
00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,640
So I personally think all
those things are very, very good.

601
00:38:01,050 --> 00:38:03,850
Thanks. Do you have any more
positives before we dive into a few

602
00:38:03,850 --> 00:38:04,490
negatives?

603
00:38:05,290 --> 00:38:07,650
Let's go, let's dive in the
negatives because I've, I've kind

604
00:38:07,650 --> 00:38:12,010
of sitting on one there. So
for me I think, I think this is a

605
00:38:12,010 --> 00:38:15,570
great thing. There's a couple
negatives to me, possible negatives.

606
00:38:15,570 --> 00:38:20,450
Number one, preparation. If,
and this is coming from, if this

607
00:38:20,450 --> 00:38:23,890
was happening today. Okay.
It's not a fair assessment. All right.

608
00:38:23,890 --> 00:38:27,050
This is not fair at all
because this is, you know, we're

609
00:38:27,050 --> 00:38:30,850
talking years in the future at
this point. However, if it ported

610
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:36,650
today, I do not feel Warcraft
is at for everything that it is and

611
00:38:36,650 --> 00:38:40,090
the greatness that it is and
the things that we enjoy and we love

612
00:38:40,090 --> 00:38:43,930
and we're passionate about.
One thing that World of Warcraft

613
00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:49,290
could really improve upon is
the new player experience. Someone

614
00:38:49,290 --> 00:38:53,410
who's brand new and you're
arriving at this world. For instance,

615
00:38:53,730 --> 00:38:57,470
yes, we have follower dungeons
which are slower paced. Right. But

616
00:38:57,470 --> 00:39:00,950
that's not necessarily your
norm. If you queue into a dungeon

617
00:39:00,950 --> 00:39:04,430
when you're first starting
number one, it's difficult kind of

618
00:39:05,310 --> 00:39:09,390
figuring out where you're
supposed to go. But also the dungeon

619
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:15,630
experience oftentimes is very,
very fast, very, very quick. And

620
00:39:15,630 --> 00:39:18,550
so that could be very
difficult for new. A new player base

621
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:20,550
coming in, especially when you
have consoles. Now, granted, those

622
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:23,670
are much more, oftentimes more
twitchy players, especially if you're

623
00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:27,920
playing heavy FPS like I was
when I was on console. But that's

624
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:33,640
a concern I do have is I think
they need to, because this would

625
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,480
just help them exponentially.
I really feel like they need to really

626
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,399
invest in the new player
experience, the brand new player

627
00:39:40,399 --> 00:39:44,040
experience and what that looks
like and finding that healthy balance

628
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:51,450
of holding your hand and then
slowly letting go and just kind of

629
00:39:51,450 --> 00:39:54,450
preserving that again, you
know, you're talking random dungeons,

630
00:39:54,450 --> 00:39:57,850
so you're signing up for a
dungeon. It's so fast. It's so fast

631
00:39:57,850 --> 00:40:01,690
and you level so fast.
Sometimes it's hard to not only sink

632
00:40:01,690 --> 00:40:04,490
your teeth into your
character. That was part of the beauty

633
00:40:04,490 --> 00:40:07,330
of classic. You know, it's
hard to sink your teeth in your character,

634
00:40:07,330 --> 00:40:10,530
but also wrap your head around
all the abilities and things that

635
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:13,890
you need to know because it
comes at a very quick pace these

636
00:40:13,890 --> 00:40:19,530
days. And so they have to find
a way to really nurture that new

637
00:40:19,530 --> 00:40:23,010
player experience to really
hit it home here, buddy.

638
00:40:23,010 --> 00:40:29,170
That is a wonderful thought.
It truly is. And as you were explaining,

639
00:40:30,210 --> 00:40:33,010
was really resonating with me.
And the reason being is because we

640
00:40:33,010 --> 00:40:37,090
have a friend that has never
played World of Warcraft before and

641
00:40:37,090 --> 00:40:38,490
is hopping in now.

642
00:40:38,490 --> 00:40:39,050
Yeah.

643
00:40:39,130 --> 00:40:42,330
And I think for anybody out
there that has a friend that you

644
00:40:42,330 --> 00:40:44,720
might want to bring into World
of Warcraft, say you've been playing,

645
00:40:44,870 --> 00:40:48,310
playing for, you know, five,
ten years, maybe longer. And you

646
00:40:48,310 --> 00:40:51,390
know, the experience that you
get and the feeling that you get

647
00:40:51,390 --> 00:40:55,230
with World of World of
Warcraft, it's. It is a fun game.

648
00:40:55,230 --> 00:40:58,550
You understand it well, you've
been through several expansions.

649
00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:02,670
You know this game. But if you
Have a brand new friend that you

650
00:41:02,670 --> 00:41:05,630
want to experience all these
wonderful things that the game has

651
00:41:05,630 --> 00:41:11,110
to offer. They cannot. At
least I can't. I can't have them

652
00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:16,250
start the game from scratch
and feel a hundred percent comfortable

653
00:41:16,250 --> 00:41:20,810
that they are going to get it.
I feel more worry and concern that

654
00:41:20,810 --> 00:41:24,810
they're gonna get. They're
gonna be like, this is too complicated.

655
00:41:24,810 --> 00:41:27,970
Like I, I am not enjoying
this. I don't even know where to

656
00:41:27,970 --> 00:41:31,330
go. I don't know what to do.
And you hear that more often than

657
00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:34,330
not with new players coming
into the game. Like, yeah, you know,

658
00:41:34,330 --> 00:41:36,770
I tried it for a little bit,
but I just, you know, I got lost.

659
00:41:36,770 --> 00:41:40,700
I didn't know where to go. I
didn't. I understand the story. So

660
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:45,020
I'm with you 100% to feel
comfortable that you don't have to

661
00:41:45,020 --> 00:41:49,300
handhold a new friend in and
show them the ropes and show them

662
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:53,540
all the things. There's so
much. After 20 plus years of development

663
00:41:53,540 --> 00:41:58,500
in World of Warcraft, the new
player experience really does need

664
00:41:59,300 --> 00:42:02,180
streamlining and we'll see
what happens with, with Midnight

665
00:42:02,180 --> 00:42:06,210
because I know there's a new
player experience coming. But how

666
00:42:06,210 --> 00:42:10,850
do you truly tell somebody 20
years of lore. Summarize 20 years

667
00:42:10,850 --> 00:42:15,090
of lore that's not just like a
long video or something they have

668
00:42:15,090 --> 00:42:18,090
to go through. I mean they're
trying with stuff with things like

669
00:42:18,090 --> 00:42:24,930
Time walk and Time walking and
what's Lower Walker Cho? Lower walking

670
00:42:24,930 --> 00:42:27,410
Lore walking? Yeah, Lower
Walker Cho, they're trying with him

671
00:42:27,410 --> 00:42:31,370
and I think that's great. But
you have to be able to direct players

672
00:42:31,530 --> 00:42:36,020
to that and really make it
poignant that this is what happened

673
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:40,060
before you got here. Yeah,
that experience does need to be better

674
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:45,180
to get somebody through all
the beginning levels in whatever

675
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:48,420
zones they choose to go
through and then seat them in what

676
00:42:48,420 --> 00:42:51,860
the latest expansion is and
like, hey, welcome here. Yeah, this

677
00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:55,300
is what we have going on. So I
100% agree with you. The new player

678
00:42:55,300 --> 00:43:01,150
experience does. It needs a
good solid revamp to being. To bring

679
00:43:01,230 --> 00:43:05,390
brand new players on console
into it and not feeling like they're

680
00:43:05,390 --> 00:43:11,230
completely lost. Okay. So
let's try. Let's. Okay. What's another.

681
00:43:11,470 --> 00:43:17,230
Another negative. I do think
that bringing the game to console

682
00:43:17,390 --> 00:43:20,350
could either be. It might be a
little bit of both, but it could

683
00:43:20,350 --> 00:43:26,690
either be Blizzard's biggest
population boost ever in years possibly.

684
00:43:27,410 --> 00:43:33,490
But it could also bring the
biggest UI challenge to them for

685
00:43:33,490 --> 00:43:41,170
sure because that's fitting a
lot of skills into a controller.

686
00:43:41,330 --> 00:43:44,610
Now although the controller
native controller support does bring

687
00:43:44,770 --> 00:43:47,770
a more. Some more Flexibility
to people who want to casually play

688
00:43:47,770 --> 00:43:49,770
the game. But you're still
going to have your people that are

689
00:43:49,770 --> 00:43:53,690
going to want to crush it. We
knew many people in Elder Scrolls

690
00:43:53,690 --> 00:43:57,570
Online that played on consoles
that were so damn good.

691
00:43:57,730 --> 00:43:58,850
Oh, they were amazing.

692
00:43:59,090 --> 00:44:02,610
Very, very good at the game.
And there's gonna be plenty of those

693
00:44:02,610 --> 00:44:06,930
people out there that are
gonna have to fit in tons of skills

694
00:44:06,930 --> 00:44:12,210
and stuff. And this is coming
at a time when UI and modding are,

695
00:44:12,930 --> 00:44:19,860
are being streamlined instead
of saying dummy down. So like, what

696
00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:20,860
are your thoughts are there?

697
00:44:21,340 --> 00:44:25,340
So I'm going to tell you about
Naton and it looks. I'm trying to

698
00:44:25,340 --> 00:44:29,180
find the release date just for
context. I can't seem to find it.

699
00:44:30,460 --> 00:44:34,300
It's called the console port.
For context of how popular this add

700
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:41,500
on is. 2.9 million downloads.
It's insanely good at bringing World

701
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:46,230
of Warcraft to a controller.
So much so I would not be shocked

702
00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:49,350
if they took cues from this
and or just brought something like

703
00:44:49,350 --> 00:44:54,030
this in as it is. It's
phenomenal. The other day I was on

704
00:44:54,030 --> 00:44:58,910
my MacBook Pro. I got this
for. Right. Or MacBook Mini. I got

705
00:44:58,910 --> 00:45:03,230
this for writing. Okay. It's a
13 inch. It has no fans in it to

706
00:45:03,230 --> 00:45:06,270
cool anything off. Like they
just don't have them. It's not meant

707
00:45:06,270 --> 00:45:10,430
for gaming. However, I'm able
to flawlessly play World of Warcraft

708
00:45:10,430 --> 00:45:13,790
and I downloaded that add on
and I was playing on an Xbox controller

709
00:45:13,790 --> 00:45:17,950
in bed, just chilling,
looting, just playing, you know,

710
00:45:17,950 --> 00:45:20,990
grinding out some flowers,
that sort of thing. It's amazing

711
00:45:20,990 --> 00:45:25,510
what you can do with that add
on. So from a UI standpoint, that

712
00:45:25,510 --> 00:45:30,470
to me, honestly is less of a
concern. It's. Yes, it's vast, but

713
00:45:30,470 --> 00:45:34,800
I really do believe that they
would be able to find a way to really

714
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,080
facilitate this now. Have we
not seen the UI changes that we've

715
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,480
really been seeing since
Dragonfly? And it was kind of the

716
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:46,120
old school AI or UI and that's
all it was. I would, I would be a

717
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,040
little bit more concerned
because that was. That was dated

718
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,680
now compared to what it is.
But I really do think that they would

719
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,440
be able to bring something
together. I'm honestly more concerned

720
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,520
less about ui. I'm more
concerned about the audience that

721
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,440
you do bring in. The type of
audience particularly that you do

722
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,360
bring in. We saw it with ESO.
Yes, you're gonna have way more numbers.

723
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,160
You will, 100%. You're gonna
rope in, dude. We had at our peak

724
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,000
with Lore Seekers, what was
it, almost 2000 people in our Discord

725
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,320
we had like four different
guild chapters. One for PlayStation

726
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:25,280
one for Xbox one for PC, na
PCEU. It was insane. So many people

727
00:46:25,610 --> 00:46:29,610
right running around. It
brought more people in. However,

728
00:46:30,170 --> 00:46:33,930
this is something else to
remember. The console audience typically,

729
00:46:33,930 --> 00:46:37,210
and this is not a knock at
all, it just typically is how it

730
00:46:37,210 --> 00:46:41,130
has been and continues. Seems
to continue to be the type of audience

731
00:46:41,130 --> 00:46:45,290
can sometimes be much more
toxic than the PC crowd.

732
00:46:45,370 --> 00:46:49,050
Yes. The one thing that I
think tamps that down quite a bit

733
00:46:49,050 --> 00:46:52,610
is the sub. You have to have a
sub to play there is that it does

734
00:46:52,610 --> 00:46:56,790
tamp that down. Um, you get a
lot more of that. Communities get

735
00:46:56,790 --> 00:47:01,950
a lot more toxic when a game
goes free to play. And thank, thank

736
00:47:02,270 --> 00:47:06,190
the gods that World of
Warcraft is still functioning very,

737
00:47:06,430 --> 00:47:12,150
in a very healthy manner with
a sub because it would be much more

738
00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:15,750
toxic than it is now if it was
a free to play game. And we saw that

739
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:20,980
happen with swtor. Pretty
toxic. So. Yeah, so that's a really

740
00:47:20,980 --> 00:47:24,500
good point too. I do think
Crossplay would need to be seamless

741
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:28,940
and I'm hoping that this, that
the Battle.net platform allows that

742
00:47:28,940 --> 00:47:32,700
to happen because I think
there could be some fragmentation

743
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:35,500
of the community. Definitely,
you know, you'll have, you know,

744
00:47:35,579 --> 00:47:38,820
they'll be on their own
servers, which is. It's fine. But

745
00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:41,940
it would be much more fun to
just have a night where you're just

746
00:47:41,940 --> 00:47:43,820
like, hey man, I just want to
chill, but I still want to talk to

747
00:47:43,820 --> 00:47:47,770
my friends. So you could pop
up Discord on your, on your phone

748
00:47:47,770 --> 00:47:51,130
or whatever. Talk to your
friends in Discord while you're picking

749
00:47:51,130 --> 00:47:51,650
flowers.

750
00:47:51,810 --> 00:47:54,450
I'd be shocked if it doesn't
Crossplay. Honestly.

751
00:47:54,850 --> 00:47:56,330
I'd be way shocked if it wasn't.

752
00:47:56,330 --> 00:47:59,730
Crossplay, mainly because
it's. That's much more the of the

753
00:47:59,810 --> 00:48:03,730
standard these days and it's
Microsoft. And I feel like that,

754
00:48:03,730 --> 00:48:06,450
that would just like if you're
gonna do it, you would do it right

755
00:48:06,450 --> 00:48:07,330
and do it all out.

756
00:48:07,970 --> 00:48:13,460
Yeah. Now I'm thinking, I'm
back to thinking about UI and you

757
00:48:13,460 --> 00:48:16,940
know, the fact that World of
Warcraft is a little bit more old

758
00:48:16,940 --> 00:48:22,900
school in that realm and into
my thought that being a little bit

759
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:27,620
more old school, it's kind of
built for macros, it's built for

760
00:48:27,620 --> 00:48:32,780
those things that you can
customize to how you want. And I

761
00:48:32,780 --> 00:48:38,180
just don't know if, if this
is. If the ability to be able to

762
00:48:38,180 --> 00:48:40,670
do that is going to work.
Watered is going to be watered down

763
00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:44,790
because it's played on a
controller now with a lot less Controls

764
00:48:44,790 --> 00:48:47,710
like I might. I play with a
Naga, right. I play with a Razor

765
00:48:47,710 --> 00:48:51,710
Naga and it's got, you know,
your right and left mouse buttons

766
00:48:51,710 --> 00:48:55,109
and then it has 12 additional
buttons. I use every single one of

767
00:48:55,109 --> 00:49:01,030
those including shift and
Shift and Control or Shift and alt

768
00:49:01,030 --> 00:49:05,150
variations of the, you know, 1
to 12 keys. I don't have them all

769
00:49:05,150 --> 00:49:08,150
filled up, but I have a vast
majority of them filled up and my

770
00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:11,750
fingers are just used to doing
that and that. Is that even going

771
00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:15,750
to be possible or are people
going to be running with macros on

772
00:49:15,750 --> 00:49:19,790
a. You know, macros that do
four or five things right on a controller?

773
00:49:19,790 --> 00:49:22,149
You know, I heard someone say
the other day they should remove

774
00:49:22,149 --> 00:49:27,510
macros from the. I knew that
was a hot topic and I was told that

775
00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:30,950
on the week when I was talking
about my thoughts on skill based

776
00:49:30,950 --> 00:49:34,240
PvP without the add ons and
that sort of thing that are currently

777
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,640
in play. I didn't want to
bring it up because I really didn't

778
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:41,160
want hate mail. But I'm not
opposed. I'm not opposed to taking

779
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,440
those away. Here's the thing.
It runs into like, what is that?

780
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,240
What does that look like from
a console standpoint? You know, like,

781
00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:51,800
like you're talking about, are
you going to allow those for console

782
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,960
players as well? And if so,
like, I mean, I guess you would open

783
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,190
up a, you know, you would
click like an, A button on your Xbox

784
00:49:59,190 --> 00:50:03,870
controller and open up a chat
or whatever that is to be able to

785
00:50:05,070 --> 00:50:08,550
be able to input said macro.
But that's. Yeah, that's an interesting

786
00:50:08,550 --> 00:50:09,310
point you bring up.

787
00:50:09,390 --> 00:50:14,990
Yeah. So I don't know to. I
say we finish off the sandwich here

788
00:50:15,070 --> 00:50:20,510
and bring some positive into
this. And I think that, I truly think

789
00:50:20,510 --> 00:50:25,890
that this is going to be a
good thing for bringing a better

790
00:50:25,890 --> 00:50:29,210
player population into it. The
proof is going to be in the pudding

791
00:50:29,210 --> 00:50:34,610
about how well they port it
over and how clunky a controller

792
00:50:34,610 --> 00:50:37,690
feels. I personally think
they're going to nail it. But you

793
00:50:37,690 --> 00:50:42,370
know, you look at games like
we mentioned ESO, Final Fantasy 14

794
00:50:42,530 --> 00:50:47,410
did this with consoles. So
there's no reason why wow, can't

795
00:50:47,410 --> 00:50:50,660
do it. And those are those two
examples that I just brought up are

796
00:50:50,660 --> 00:50:55,980
way more graphically intensive
as opposed to World of Warcraft,

797
00:50:55,980 --> 00:51:02,460
which is. It's a little bit
more comical and whimsical. The graphics

798
00:51:02,460 --> 00:51:06,500
are not as tight as a lot of
these other games that have already

799
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:10,980
ported to console. So I think
that there's no way that they can't

800
00:51:10,980 --> 00:51:13,380
make this thing happen and
make the game run really, really

801
00:51:13,380 --> 00:51:14,380
well on a console.

802
00:51:14,460 --> 00:51:16,660
Yeah, I look forward to seeing
how it develops. Honestly, like,

803
00:51:16,660 --> 00:51:20,760
this is exciting. Um, I don't
think that the game being streamlined

804
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,480
is a bad thing because then at
that point you're just balancing.

805
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,920
Yes, the initial change and
initial shock is going to be massive,

806
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,440
but I think at that point
you're balancing and you're also

807
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,080
talking about, you know,
making sure that everything runs

808
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,240
right and correct and well for
the console side. And I. I definitely

809
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:38,680
think they'll knock it out of
the park. They have to. I think they

810
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:44,600
know that. And so, you know, I
look forward to seeing what happens.

811
00:51:45,070 --> 00:51:47,510
That's. I look forward to
seeing what happens. And so, folks,

812
00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:49,990
you can check this out again.
This is over at wowhead. Of course

813
00:51:49,990 --> 00:51:52,510
we're going to continue to
follow this as, you know, things

814
00:51:52,510 --> 00:51:55,030
develop. And if you're not
following us on our Facebook page,

815
00:51:55,030 --> 00:51:58,270
I. We got a message the other
day. It's like, thank you. I'll be

816
00:51:58,270 --> 00:52:00,430
honest, I was kind of scared
when I got on Facebook because normally

817
00:52:00,830 --> 00:52:04,550
I only get on there to say hey
to people and so. But I. I jumped

818
00:52:04,550 --> 00:52:07,910
through the. Was like raid
boss or whatever it was to come say

819
00:52:07,910 --> 00:52:12,480
hi to you guys and follow you.
So anyway, awesome. Yeah, you can

820
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,480
follow us on Facebook and we
share these things as we see it come

821
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,560
in as well. But yeah, this is
going to be interesting. So again,

822
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,480
this coming to us from
wowhead.com so, next up, we've got

823
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,600
a few different things here,
and some of this we're kind of going

824
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,600
to. Going to kind of jump
through a little bit, but World of

825
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,320
Warcraft has released the
Legion soundtrack. Now it's kind

826
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,520
of, you could say like a re
release. And so that's available

827
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,940
on their YouTube page. The
entire soundtrack is there, so it

828
00:52:37,940 --> 00:52:41,660
covers well over an hour of
Legion music. Kind of bringing you

829
00:52:41,660 --> 00:52:46,780
back to the epic moments and
emotional themes that we saw. I mean,

830
00:52:46,780 --> 00:52:49,820
Varian and everything that
happened there, it's. It's pretty

831
00:52:49,820 --> 00:52:51,900
heavy. So it was cool to see
that come out.

832
00:52:51,980 --> 00:52:53,020
What happened to Varian?

833
00:52:53,260 --> 00:52:56,140
I don't think I can spoil
that. I don't think I can do that,

834
00:52:56,140 --> 00:52:59,140
bro. I don't care if it's 10
years. I don't can't do that.

835
00:52:59,140 --> 00:53:00,540
It's 2025.

836
00:53:00,540 --> 00:53:03,990
I know, I know, but I can't do
it. I can't do it.

837
00:53:03,990 --> 00:53:07,310
Well, if anybody's been in
Stormwind and paid any attention,

838
00:53:07,390 --> 00:53:09,950
they're probably gonna realize
what happened to Varian.

839
00:53:10,350 --> 00:53:11,950
Yeah, especially if you're in
the park.

840
00:53:12,590 --> 00:53:16,190
Which brings up it Brings up
another thing. Just super quick on

841
00:53:16,190 --> 00:53:16,510
this.

842
00:53:16,510 --> 00:53:16,990
Yeah.

843
00:53:17,070 --> 00:53:20,310
Legion soundtrack. Yeah, it's.
It's fantastic. It's amazing. But.

844
00:53:20,310 --> 00:53:21,990
And we're talking about the
Varian thing.

845
00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:22,430
Yeah.

846
00:53:22,430 --> 00:53:25,950
What's another thing that we
do on our characters? This is nerdy,

847
00:53:26,190 --> 00:53:29,840
friends. This is nerdy. I
don't care. This is the way that

848
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,960
we play Warcraft. That's
another thing we do with our brand

849
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,920
new characters. As soon as we
get to Stormwind.

850
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:38,200
Well, there's a lot of things.
Which part you. Why don't you take

851
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,160
the lead with.

852
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,640
Regards to the plight of Varian?

853
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,600
Oh, we absolutely go to the
park and we kneel.

854
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:45,800
Yes.

855
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,720
We do pay our respects.

856
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,720
We pay our respects to Varian.
If you have never done this, to make

857
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:56,530
sure your music is turned up,
go into Stormwind. You will get the

858
00:53:56,530 --> 00:54:01,330
iconic Stormwind music. But
once you transition into the park

859
00:54:01,810 --> 00:54:06,770
where the memorial is for
Varian, note the change in music.

860
00:54:07,010 --> 00:54:11,730
And if that isn't a powerful
moment for you, then we're just idiots.

861
00:54:11,970 --> 00:54:13,890
Yeah, I thought you always
were idiots.

862
00:54:16,530 --> 00:54:21,340
Because it is a driving moment
when you. When you know the story,

863
00:54:21,740 --> 00:54:25,340
you know what happened to
Varian. Again, we won't spoil it.

864
00:54:25,660 --> 00:54:31,940
But he dies. Go to the park
and go see his memorial. You can

865
00:54:31,940 --> 00:54:35,300
kneel if you want. We happen
to do it and we screenshot it and

866
00:54:35,300 --> 00:54:36,300
we send it to each other.

867
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:36,580
Yeah.

868
00:54:36,580 --> 00:54:38,940
Because we're nerds. Because
we're nerds.

869
00:54:39,660 --> 00:54:40,380
But it's okay.

870
00:54:40,380 --> 00:54:43,300
It's just. It's an emotional
part of World of Warcraft lore for

871
00:54:43,300 --> 00:54:46,220
a lot of people. And that
experience, listening to that music

872
00:54:46,220 --> 00:54:48,740
change is really cool.

873
00:54:48,980 --> 00:54:51,500
It is really cool. But if you
go there on Moon Guard too, that's

874
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:53,620
where all the RP years hang
out. So you're probably going to

875
00:54:53,620 --> 00:54:55,820
hear and see all kinds of
other story to get you roped in as

876
00:54:55,820 --> 00:54:56,100
well.

877
00:54:56,180 --> 00:54:59,220
But yeah, not the lions and
role players.

878
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:00,580
No, no.

879
00:55:00,660 --> 00:55:01,020
Yes.

880
00:55:01,020 --> 00:55:03,180
You know, we don't really
regard that, I'll be honest. Like,

881
00:55:03,180 --> 00:55:06,500
that's a. That's a knock that
people throw at Moon Guard. But honestly,

882
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:09,780
from like a Moon Guard players
point of view, like, that's like

883
00:55:09,780 --> 00:55:11,700
the thing you just don't
really talk about. It's like, yeah,

884
00:55:11,700 --> 00:55:15,140
you know, it's there. It's,
ugh, it's gross. Whatever. But that's

885
00:55:15,140 --> 00:55:17,220
not. That's not your Moon
Guard experience.

886
00:55:17,460 --> 00:55:19,540
Don't read profiles if you're
going to the lines in.

887
00:55:21,380 --> 00:55:24,780
Anyway, Legion soundtrack is
out. Go listen to it after you're

888
00:55:24,780 --> 00:55:27,100
listening to right here in
amr. And you know what real Quick.

889
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:31,380
After you're done listening to
amr, go check out solo queue. We've

890
00:55:31,380 --> 00:55:34,820
been in contact and chatting
with him quite often. Good dude.

891
00:55:35,060 --> 00:55:38,580
Solo show. Go check him out.
Solo queue. Great podcast.

892
00:55:38,580 --> 00:55:39,060
Agreed.

893
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:43,260
Next up, we've got World of
Warcraft Student Art Contest 2025.

894
00:55:43,260 --> 00:55:47,340
So this coming to us from
worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com so in

895
00:55:47,340 --> 00:55:51,500
short, Blizzard has opened
submissions for the 15th annual World

of Warcraft Student Art
Contest, inviting college and university

students to create original
art or animations that fit the WoW

898
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:02,180
universe. The contest
encourages students to show Blizzard

899
00:56:02,180 --> 00:56:05,180
something we've, quote, never
seen before that still fits within

900
00:56:05,330 --> 00:56:08,610
the World of Warcraft universe
in quote. Submissions are now open

901
00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:13,512
as of October 20, 2025 and
will be accepted until February 1,

902
00:56:13,654 --> 00:56:17,730
2026. Four grand prize
winners. Here they are. One per category

903
00:56:18,130 --> 00:56:24,250
will be selected. So a. A
Wacom Cintic. I'm sorry, Pro 24 drawing

904
00:56:24,250 --> 00:56:27,570
tablet. Those are legit, by
the way. Just point that out.

905
00:56:27,570 --> 00:56:28,210
Yes, they are.

906
00:56:28,210 --> 00:56:31,760
They are phenomenal. One hour
mentorship with. With Blizzard artist.

907
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,120
Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing.

908
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:35,800
That'd be a fast hour.

909
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,880
Oh yeah, it would be one year.
Wow. Subscription. Heck yes. And

910
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,880
then a Blizzard sketchbook and
T shirt. Eligibility is open to current

911
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,480
US and Canadian college
students, excluding Quebec. Full

912
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:51,400
details are available on the
official contest page.

913
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:56,320
Yeah, and if you look at the
article itself, it has some examples

914
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,840
of what students have done,
which is. And it names their schools,

915
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:05,240
which is super neat. And it
has examples of 3D environmental

916
00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:09,120
art, which by the way, is
Bastion, one of your favorite places

917
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:14,400
in the game. Yeah, it's
absolutely gorgeous what this lady

918
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:19,800
did. And 3D character art. So
if you think like concept art for

919
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,720
different characters and
stuff, that's that 3D visual effects,

920
00:57:24,140 --> 00:57:28,820
which is more animated and
then flat out 3D animation, which

921
00:57:28,820 --> 00:57:35,180
is just really, really neat,
some of these things. So go check

922
00:57:35,180 --> 00:57:38,060
it out. This is actually
really neat. And this is yet another

923
00:57:38,220 --> 00:57:43,020
example of how Blizzard is
reaching out to their. Their people.

924
00:57:44,140 --> 00:57:47,180
Student Art contest. Like,
come on, man, that's so neat.

925
00:57:47,260 --> 00:57:51,790
It is like, this is everything
like that we wished we could have

926
00:57:51,790 --> 00:57:56,030
had when we were coming up.
You know, like when we were taking

927
00:57:56,030 --> 00:57:58,990
games in and we were at
college or we were, you know, in

928
00:57:58,990 --> 00:58:02,230
our careers early on, you
know, just being able to know like

929
00:58:02,230 --> 00:58:04,510
the things that you love and
the things you're most passionate

930
00:58:04,510 --> 00:58:09,390
about. Hey, like they see you
and you can enter to do fun things

931
00:58:09,390 --> 00:58:12,710
like this like that would just
be absolutely amazing.

932
00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:15,870
So yeah, they definitely don't
want to see the Stick figure that

933
00:58:15,870 --> 00:58:17,430
I would draw and sent to him.

934
00:58:17,510 --> 00:58:20,510
I had this idea for a mount
that I've been wanting to draw out.

935
00:58:20,510 --> 00:58:21,670
You want me tell you about
this mount?

936
00:58:22,070 --> 00:58:22,550
Yes.

937
00:58:22,550 --> 00:58:26,950
I have wanted this for
literally since 2018 some when we

938
00:58:26,950 --> 00:58:33,310
were in Eso. I want a mount
that is a giant red recliner that

939
00:58:33,310 --> 00:58:36,470
has a claws that come out from
it and I can sit on it. Like very

940
00:58:36,470 --> 00:58:40,070
goblin esque. You know, he's
got maybe a bunch of empty cans of

941
00:58:40,230 --> 00:58:43,440
you know, hard cider or
whatever he's into. Maybe magazine

942
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,000
stacked up so super loungy and
gross and it like farms herbs for

943
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,360
you. Like you can drive
around, pick herbs. That's all I

944
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:50,640
want.

945
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:55,200
That is very Guild Wars 2.
They have stuff like that in there.

946
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,960
That's true. Wow, nice poll.
They really do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

947
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,720
Anyway, check us out. Enter
the contest. Do your thing, man.

948
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,040
And then finally we've got
Blizzard merch drops. So this coming

949
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,480
to us from gear.blizzard.com
Two new things just came out. World

950
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:17,480
of Warcraft's Ashbringer 11
inch replica which looks amazing.

951
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:23,560
Amazing. This puppy is 11
inches and it is 120$, but it looks

952
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,560
very cool. And then you've got
the World of Warcraft how to draw

953
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,960
a heroes and villains book and
a poster of it as well. So both those

954
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:31,520
things are out.

955
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,880
Yeah. How to draw that stuff.
Super cool. There you go. That's

956
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:38,950
how I get my start in being
able to take part in the student

957
00:59:38,950 --> 00:59:39,630
art contest.

958
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:42,830
I. There you go. Honestly,
that book is really, really not to

959
00:59:42,830 --> 00:59:45,630
like pass over the Ashbringer
because it looks amazing. I mean

960
00:59:45,630 --> 00:59:50,830
it's like 11 inches long, 7
inches wide, 6 inches tall. It's

961
00:59:50,830 --> 00:59:53,710
legit. It looks fantastic, has
a great stand. It looks amazing.

962
00:59:53,790 --> 00:59:57,990
Speaking of the replica, the
Ashbringer, I know that you've seen

963
00:59:57,990 --> 01:00:02,390
it because we've talked about
it before, but the, the statue of

964
01:00:02,390 --> 01:00:05,750
Arthas that's out there and
it's. It's a private company that's

965
01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:09,310
doing this and it's a. It's a
really, really awesome.

966
01:00:09,470 --> 01:00:09,950
Yeah.

967
01:00:11,150 --> 01:00:15,670
Statue of Arthas. It lights up
and it's just gorgeous. But they

968
01:00:15,670 --> 01:00:19,990
send it to you like in parts,
right? So every week you get a different

969
01:00:19,990 --> 01:00:25,830
part and then you slowly build
this thing and it's. It's shady markets,

970
01:00:25,830 --> 01:00:29,400
super shady marketing. If you,
if you follow like World of Warcraft

971
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,680
or anything on Instagram, I'm
sure you've seen this thing before.

972
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,200
It's super badass. But I
calculated it out. If you were to

973
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:40,840
like join this little ponzi
scheme that they have going on to

974
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:46,880
get these parts, dude, to
finish the thing, it's like, well

975
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,160
over $1,000.

976
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:49,280
Oh, heck no.

977
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,340
To finish it. And when I saw
that, I was like, heck, no, dude.

978
01:00:52,650 --> 01:00:55,610
Like, I would love to build
it, but, yeah, they get you into,

979
01:00:55,610 --> 01:00:58,010
like, a subscription thing to
where you're like a quarter of the

980
01:00:58,010 --> 01:01:00,010
way built, and you're like,
well, I got to keep going now. So

981
01:01:00,010 --> 01:01:02,570
you keep paying them and they
keep sending you the parts every

982
01:01:02,570 --> 01:01:04,530
week and you can build this
thing. But, yeah, it's like over

983
01:01:04,530 --> 01:01:07,130
a thousand bucks. I was like,
that sucks, man.

984
01:01:07,130 --> 01:01:10,450
Yeah, yeah. No way. No way.
But. But, you know, for the things

985
01:01:10,450 --> 01:01:13,250
that they're offering here,
like, this is. If you're a paladin

986
01:01:13,250 --> 01:01:16,650
lover, like, I am, like, the
ash spring looks amazing. It's got

987
01:01:16,650 --> 01:01:19,890
a really cool quote on the
back of the box from Alexandros Mograine.

988
01:01:19,890 --> 01:01:23,570
It says quote. It is purely,
truly an instrument of destruction.

989
01:01:23,730 --> 01:01:26,850
A beautifully lethal creation
that leaves nothing but charred bone

990
01:01:26,850 --> 01:01:31,170
in its wake. I call it the
Ashbringer. It's absolutely awesome.

991
01:01:32,130 --> 01:01:35,050
And then. Yeah. So that book,
though, like, one thing I really,

992
01:01:35,050 --> 01:01:38,370
really thought was pretty
amazing about that book was that

993
01:01:38,370 --> 01:01:42,930
there is, like, the artists
from Blizzard themselves. Like, I

994
01:01:42,930 --> 01:01:45,490
think there's, like,
different, like, forwards and different

995
01:01:45,490 --> 01:01:49,780
things that they've written in
there as well. So, like, oh, yeah,

996
01:01:49,780 --> 01:01:52,300
the interviews. They have
interviews in there. And so, like,

997
01:01:52,300 --> 01:01:56,180
you can read alongside kind of
their thought process behind, you

998
01:01:56,180 --> 01:01:59,500
know, drawing those characters
and really investing yourself in

999
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:02,900
the world. I'm of the opinion,
man, that whenever we see stuff like

1000
01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:06,620
this, like, anything that. And
I know you're the same way. Anytime

1001
01:02:06,860 --> 01:02:11,460
an IP can make something
outside of the game that ropes you

1002
01:02:11,460 --> 01:02:15,460
in to the game, like, it
allows you to be in Azeroth when

1003
01:02:15,460 --> 01:02:18,580
you're not in Azeroth, that's
kind of what the show is. It's always

1004
01:02:18,580 --> 01:02:21,900
a good thing. It's always a
good thing. Whether it's books. You

1005
01:02:21,900 --> 01:02:25,420
and I have done all kinds of
Audible books, you know, like, it's

1006
01:02:25,420 --> 01:02:27,060
phenomenal. I love when they
do this stuff.

1007
01:02:33,460 --> 01:02:34,820
Snark online.

1008
01:02:40,830 --> 01:02:43,710
All right, it's the Handy
Dandy segment. Segment navigator

1009
01:02:43,710 --> 01:02:47,990
and randomizer kiosk. I like
to add 5,000 on there because, you

1010
01:02:47,990 --> 01:02:50,350
know, anything in the 90s
always had 5,000 written all over

1011
01:02:50,350 --> 01:02:56,830
it. But anyway, today it looks
like, hang on, I'm foot. Let's spit

1012
01:02:56,830 --> 01:03:02,430
out mail bag mayhem. All
right, so this segment here on amr,

1013
01:03:02,430 --> 01:03:06,670
we use the mighty bag bowl of
awesomeness, AKA a glass bowl, and

1014
01:03:06,750 --> 01:03:09,870
put Your questions in and
whatever we grab, we answer on the

1015
01:03:09,870 --> 01:03:11,830
show. All right, you want to go?

1016
01:03:11,830 --> 01:03:16,750
I like it. Yeah. Looks like we
have a familiar name. One of our

1017
01:03:16,910 --> 01:03:22,030
esteemed members of Pulling
Aggro irl, our guild in game, Snackfish

1018
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:27,950
wrote in with a question,
explanation, and then a question.

1019
01:03:28,350 --> 01:03:32,300
And this is from Snackfish. I
returned after leaving. Wow. Later

1020
01:03:32,300 --> 01:03:36,220
in Shadowlands in Dragonflight
Season 2. And one of the things that

1021
01:03:36,220 --> 01:03:40,100
captured my imagination was
the whimsy of the world events in

1022
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:46,420
Dragonflight, for example, is
the askara cooking event. 100% remember

1023
01:03:46,420 --> 01:03:52,220
and love this. And Snackfish
continues, oh my God. Being in LFR

1024
01:03:52,220 --> 01:03:54,900
and folks shouting yes chef to
the raid leader.

1025
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:56,100
Yes. Yes.

1026
01:03:56,580 --> 01:04:00,590
Emerald Dream. And following a
narcoleptic treant around Y. Yes.

1027
01:04:00,590 --> 01:04:01,070
Yes.

1028
01:04:01,390 --> 01:04:05,550
Feeding giant toads to get the
dragonkin to the Obsidian Assault.

1029
01:04:06,110 --> 01:04:10,950
And Snackfish continues. War
within lost all of that humor. It

1030
01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:14,270
nose dived into the
catastrophic and even theater world

1031
01:04:14,270 --> 01:04:19,030
quest, which was nothing but a
muted example. So here's Snackfish's

1032
01:04:19,030 --> 01:04:24,190
question. What would we like
to see for world events in Midnight?

1033
01:04:24,670 --> 01:04:27,630
That's a really good question.
And honestly, I hadn't thought about

1034
01:04:27,630 --> 01:04:31,590
it that way until I read that
question. And they're very. They're

1035
01:04:31,590 --> 01:04:36,870
very spot on in a lot of ways.
War within was very serious overtones.

1036
01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:40,590
Had very serious overtones,
Various serious issues. A lot of

1037
01:04:40,590 --> 01:04:45,990
Earthen having very serious
issue. It was very serious. And it,

1038
01:04:45,990 --> 01:04:49,950
you know, it did kind of lose
some of that whimsical vibe that

1039
01:04:49,950 --> 01:04:52,830
we probably are more
accustomed to with Dragonflight.

1040
01:04:54,830 --> 01:04:59,440
I didn't realize how much I
love Dragonflight until I was back

1041
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:04,720
over in the city than the last
two weeks. And I realized how much

1042
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:10,560
I personally could have taken
in that expansion, even more. And

1043
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,280
it made me think of the future
when it comes to Midnight and how

1044
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,240
I'm going to take that in.
Now. That's another story. However,

1045
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,520
the point is this, is that I
don't really think I fully appreciated

1046
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,480
that expansion as much as I
should have or could have. And part

1047
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:28,050
of that is, you know, you have
these fun moments, these fun. It

1048
01:05:28,050 --> 01:05:30,570
could be world quests like
they're discussing or something else

1049
01:05:30,570 --> 01:05:35,610
entirely. It's important that
those things do maintain themselves

1050
01:05:35,610 --> 01:05:39,650
within World of Warcraft. So
for me, what I would like to see

1051
01:05:40,370 --> 01:05:46,130
going into Midnight is
balance. Balance between, yes, this

1052
01:05:46,130 --> 01:05:51,010
serious threat is happening.
Yes, we. We still have goblins and

1053
01:05:51,010 --> 01:05:54,140
gnomes, and everything's
always kind of crazy and. And whimsical

1054
01:05:54,140 --> 01:05:58,020
with them in other races as
well. I would love to see those two

1055
01:05:58,020 --> 01:06:02,100
things marry together. Really
well. So it has both and it's not

1056
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:05,460
one side or the, or the other,
but it's just, you know, it, it's

1057
01:06:05,460 --> 01:06:09,060
World of Warcraft, but it has
the serious moments and it has the

1058
01:06:09,060 --> 01:06:12,300
crazy whimsical and that
there's opportunities to enjoy both

1059
01:06:12,300 --> 01:06:12,780
equally.

1060
01:06:13,420 --> 01:06:19,740
I agree. Warcraft at its heart
is whimsy and fun. There are those

1061
01:06:19,740 --> 01:06:22,820
serious undertones that you're
talking about where the, the actual

1062
01:06:22,820 --> 01:06:26,860
story takes place. But there
is, there's still a world that's

1063
01:06:26,860 --> 01:06:33,100
out there. And the world can
be joyfully chaotic at times. You

1064
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:36,300
look at things like the
Darkmoon Faire, right? Yeah, Dark

1065
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:39,780
undertones, but super fun.
You're getting launched out of cannons.

1066
01:06:39,780 --> 01:06:44,180
You're freaking playing Dance
Dance Revolution in the middle of

1067
01:06:44,180 --> 01:06:47,140
the, in the middle of the
square. Yeah, yeah, there's, there's

1068
01:06:47,140 --> 01:06:51,270
things like that. And I've
always been a huge fan of those extra

1069
01:06:51,750 --> 01:06:57,430
themey little things. So I
would really like to see world events

1070
01:06:57,750 --> 01:07:03,990
bring back some of that world
flavor. Just that fun world flavor.

1071
01:07:04,070 --> 01:07:08,470
So here's an idea that I had
that I think would be super cool.

1072
01:07:08,470 --> 01:07:15,290
Darkmoon Faire, as fun as it
is, okay, it's dated, but there's

1073
01:07:15,290 --> 01:07:19,850
still, there's still decent
lore behind it. There is still, you

1074
01:07:19,850 --> 01:07:24,370
know, you talk about Silas
Darkmoon and you know, just the different

1075
01:07:24,370 --> 01:07:27,770
things that you can do there
and they have built on it over the

1076
01:07:27,770 --> 01:07:32,370
years. But it would be really
good to see something that all players

1077
01:07:32,370 --> 01:07:36,530
can get into that is similar
to the Darkmoon Faire to where it's

1078
01:07:36,530 --> 01:07:41,220
a recurring event and it
continues to come, but it is designed

1079
01:07:41,540 --> 01:07:45,940
behind the Midnight expansion.
Oh, this particular event that is

1080
01:07:45,940 --> 01:07:50,420
going to live on forever
started during the Midnight expansion.

1081
01:07:50,500 --> 01:07:54,900
And the idea I had was some
type of a Silver Moon Artisans Fair.

1082
01:07:55,060 --> 01:07:56,260
Oh, okay.

1083
01:07:56,500 --> 01:08:01,300
So it's a thing perhaps all
the time. And then once Midnight

1084
01:08:01,300 --> 01:08:04,500
goes away, it becomes a
recurring event like Darkmoon. So

1085
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:10,010
my thought is things like
foraging contests, right, where you're

1086
01:08:10,010 --> 01:08:13,730
going out and you see how
many, you know, how many things that

1087
01:08:13,730 --> 01:08:18,250
you can gather during that
time. There could be illusion shows,

1088
01:08:18,570 --> 01:08:23,730
there could be cooking duels.
Oh yeah, you know what I mean? But

1089
01:08:23,730 --> 01:08:27,610
just stuff to make it fun
again. So you know, people will have

1090
01:08:27,610 --> 01:08:31,850
that moment where you're
screaming, yes, Jeff, you know, I

1091
01:08:32,260 --> 01:08:35,700
completely get you on that
one. Snackfish. That was super fun.

1092
01:08:35,860 --> 01:08:43,140
I loved the Escara area. It
was just so full of their culture.

1093
01:08:43,780 --> 01:08:47,260
It was a hundred percent their
culture. Like you felt when you were

1094
01:08:47,260 --> 01:08:52,500
doing the things in the Quest
line to help that settlement thrive.

1095
01:08:53,380 --> 01:08:55,660
You were. And then, you know,
at the very end of it, like you,

1096
01:08:55,660 --> 01:08:58,660
you know, you go out and you.
And you. You're trying to find like

1097
01:08:59,019 --> 01:09:03,619
a couple of their missing
younglings and all the things that

1098
01:09:03,619 --> 01:09:07,419
you would be dealing with if
you lived off the land in that environment.

1099
01:09:07,739 --> 01:09:11,579
And the Escaris area really
brought that to life.

1100
01:09:11,739 --> 01:09:12,299
Oh yeah.

1101
01:09:12,299 --> 01:09:18,139
So why not repeat that for
what we're going to see in Midnight

1102
01:09:18,379 --> 01:09:19,979
with the revamped zones.

1103
01:09:20,219 --> 01:09:20,699
Yeah.

1104
01:09:22,619 --> 01:09:26,139
Piggybacking off of a topic we
talked about last week where there

1105
01:09:26,139 --> 01:09:30,170
was an article RP event for
Hollow's End that was put together

1106
01:09:30,170 --> 01:09:34,810
by our peers. How about us?
Some type of a Suramar masquerade

1107
01:09:34,810 --> 01:09:39,050
festival where you disguise
yourselves. Maybe there's dance contests.

1108
01:09:39,770 --> 01:09:42,970
Maybe you have to uncover like
a secret Void agent or something

1109
01:09:42,970 --> 01:09:43,410
like that.

1110
01:09:43,410 --> 01:09:44,410
Yeah, yeah.

1111
01:09:44,410 --> 01:09:50,970
You know, just neat things for
both world quests. And as an overarching

1112
01:09:50,970 --> 01:09:52,090
theme that will continue.

1113
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:52,520
Continue.

1114
01:09:53,480 --> 01:09:56,840
You know, maybe there's a
portal from Stormwind and in Orgrimmar

1115
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:02,000
for this when Darkmoon Faire
is in town. And now the Silver Moon

1116
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,120
Artisan Fair is in town and
kind of build another thing that's

1117
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,280
very similar to Darkmoon
Faire, but you put it in another

1118
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,520
spot and it occurs on another week.

1119
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,120
Yeah, I would like to see. I
like that. I love that. And I would

1120
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,080
love to see the fair brought
to the capital city of Stormwind

1121
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,590
and Or Orgrimmar. So like
during those things, it's. Yeah,

1122
01:10:19,590 --> 01:10:21,670
you. Maybe you do have to go
through a portal or something. I

1123
01:10:21,670 --> 01:10:25,470
don't know. But that. That
area where the Trading Post is, I

1124
01:10:25,470 --> 01:10:30,230
think would be a great at
place to kind of morph into something

1125
01:10:30,230 --> 01:10:34,830
like, you know what you're
talking about. With Dark Moon to

1126
01:10:34,830 --> 01:10:39,150
bring the fare to the. So it
is within the. The heavy. The. The

1127
01:10:39,150 --> 01:10:41,790
main capital cities. Now I'm
saying this from the standpoint of

1128
01:10:41,790 --> 01:10:47,360
playing on Moon Guard, where
our cities are busy, it's busy, it's

1129
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,480
not vacant. You know, it's
weird to me now going to like an

1130
01:10:51,480 --> 01:10:54,480
alt that I remember having on
Tichondrius and going over and just

1131
01:10:54,480 --> 01:10:59,080
being in Storm and like, where
did everybody go? You know, you're

1132
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,640
looking around like, where
does everybody at? But Moon Guard,

1133
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,400
it's. That's the beauty of rp.
What they don't tell you is that

1134
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:07,760
our server, our world is alive
and that's because of the players.

1135
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,280
But I would love to see stuff
like that brought to the cities to

1136
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,990
really, really make it more of
like a renfair in a lot of ways,

1137
01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:16,550
you know.

1138
01:11:16,550 --> 01:11:17,030
Yes.

1139
01:11:17,590 --> 01:11:22,230
Just kind of rev. Because
you're right. It's not really. It's

1140
01:11:22,230 --> 01:11:26,190
not really utilized in the way
that it could be like player. From

1141
01:11:26,190 --> 01:11:30,030
a player standpoint. Like we
really just go there to get the dailies

1142
01:11:30,030 --> 01:11:34,430
done, but like making it an
experience, you know, And I get it.

1143
01:11:34,430 --> 01:11:37,190
It's kind of tough. Whenever
you have something that's reoccurring

1144
01:11:37,510 --> 01:11:40,310
monthly, you know, it doesn't
have that same shine. Maybe something

1145
01:11:40,310 --> 01:11:44,430
is like the Brew Fest or
something like Hollow's End, you

1146
01:11:44,430 --> 01:11:47,750
know, once a year. So finding
that balance would be difficult.

1147
01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:50,910
However, you know, I
definitely think there's. Everything

1148
01:11:50,910 --> 01:11:53,350
you're saying. There's
definitely room for an upgrade there.

1149
01:11:53,590 --> 01:11:56,870
Yeah, Agreed. Thank you.
Snackfish. That's a good question.

1150
01:11:57,110 --> 01:11:59,430
Yeah, thank you. That was a
great question. I'll take this next

1151
01:11:59,430 --> 01:12:01,470
one here. This one's from
Morpork. I haven't listened a few

1152
01:12:01,470 --> 01:12:04,320
episodes. You remember this
person. Drawing inspiration from

1153
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,680
WoW has been commonplace for
MMOs for decades now. But as of dragonflight,

1154
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,040
it is clear that Blizzard is
also drawing upon other games to

1155
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:16,320
improve wow. What is one
system or feature from another game,

1156
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:20,680
not necessarily an MMO that
you'd like to see implemented in

1157
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,800
WoW. That's a big question.

1158
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:28,000
It is. Why don't you go there
first? Okay, I got a couple, but

1159
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,660
I'm probably just gonna
quickly breeze over one of them.

1160
01:12:30,660 --> 01:12:34,100
Sure. New Worlds Fishing
system brought to World of Warcraft.

1161
01:12:34,580 --> 01:12:40,740
Oh, God, that's such a good
one, dude. That's such a great one.

1162
01:12:40,980 --> 01:12:45,460
New world owns the crown when
it comes to fishing and MMOs. It.

1163
01:12:45,460 --> 01:12:48,700
There's. Say what you want
about the rest of the game, but when

1164
01:12:48,700 --> 01:12:54,020
it comes to fishing, strictly.
Holy cow. Holy cow.

1165
01:12:54,670 --> 01:12:58,230
Good. Yeah. Even a minor
revamp of their. Of the fishing system,

1166
01:12:58,230 --> 01:13:04,190
which is already. It's already
iconic and fun. Like, I do really

1167
01:13:04,190 --> 01:13:08,230
enjoy the fishing, but if you
were to make it into more of a mini

1168
01:13:08,230 --> 01:13:08,510
game.

1169
01:13:08,590 --> 01:13:09,070
Oh.

1170
01:13:09,150 --> 01:13:11,870
Other than just, you know,
click cast.

1171
01:13:12,510 --> 01:13:12,990
Yep.

1172
01:13:12,990 --> 01:13:13,950
Click reel in.

1173
01:13:13,950 --> 01:13:14,590
Yep.

1174
01:13:15,390 --> 01:13:18,110
Oh, buddy, that's a good one.

1175
01:13:18,350 --> 01:13:20,430
Thank you. What do you got?
I'm excited.

1176
01:13:20,610 --> 01:13:23,290
I want to talk more about the
new fishing that you're going to

1177
01:13:23,290 --> 01:13:29,410
put into World of Warcraft.
Oh, that's such a good one, dude.

1178
01:13:29,410 --> 01:13:34,530
Okay, I have a. I have a
couple. The first one I'm going to

1179
01:13:34,530 --> 01:13:38,770
breeze over real quick, but I
think this would be a blatant ripoff.

1180
01:13:39,330 --> 01:13:42,370
Not that other games have any
damn shame in, you know, ripping

1181
01:13:42,370 --> 01:13:45,530
things off from other games,
but we've already talked about it.

1182
01:13:45,530 --> 01:13:51,960
Before the. Once you enter the
water In Guild Wars 2, your UI changes.

1183
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:52,560
Oh, yeah.

1184
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,200
Now you have, you have a set
of thing, you have a set of skills

1185
01:13:56,200 --> 01:14:01,680
you can use underwater. You
get a spear or like a spear gun,

1186
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,080
you get like a breathing
apparatus. And it changes the way

1187
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:08,400
that your game plays
underwater. That would be really

1188
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,720
cool. Other than just, you
know, me entering the water and trying

1189
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,550
to move moonfire stuff
underwater, it would fit a little

1190
01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:17,470
bit better in Warcraft. That's
the quick one.

1191
01:14:17,470 --> 01:14:17,950
Yeah.

1192
01:14:18,110 --> 01:14:23,630
The second one is. This is
going to take us way back, folks.

1193
01:14:23,630 --> 01:14:26,270
I know I've already talked
about Star Wars Galaxies in the past,

1194
01:14:26,350 --> 01:14:32,030
but Star Wars Galaxies had a
bounty system, a true bounty system.

1195
01:14:32,350 --> 01:14:39,080
So PVPers, listen up. When you
were a part of the bounty system,

1196
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:42,120
it was basically a board that
you could take where you could hunt

1197
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:46,360
down other players. So if
you're gonna be out in the world

1198
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:52,040
in war mode, say you're a real
D head and you're killing people

1199
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,080
in war mode all the time, you
will reach a certain point to where

1200
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:59,720
you've done so much damage to
people and killed so many people

1201
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,760
that your name makes the
bounty board. Now other players can

1202
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:11,560
go in for honor conquest
rewards, maybe gear rewards, and

1203
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,960
they could find your name and
take the bounty to kill you. And

1204
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,480
when you're online, when that
person's online, you would get an

1205
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:22,840
alert and you go hunt them
down again. You'd have to be in war

1206
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:28,160
mode. Star Wars Galaxies had
this system. They actually had a

1207
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:32,550
class. You could be a bounty
hunter as a class and say, for instance,

1208
01:15:32,550 --> 01:15:37,510
because Jedi were so very rare
in that game. If you were a Jedi,

1209
01:15:37,590 --> 01:15:44,110
a Padawan, and you say pulled
your lightsaber out in town, instantly

1210
01:15:44,110 --> 01:15:47,750
you're on the boards because
it makes sense. A lot of Jedi were

1211
01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:52,310
very rare. People in town saw
you pull that up. It got reported

1212
01:15:52,390 --> 01:15:54,870
to the authorities that
there's a Jedi out here somewhere.

1213
01:15:54,870 --> 01:15:57,680
And all of a sudden you're on
the bounty boards. And there was

1214
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:03,160
nothing like being a Jedi
Padawan. Not very strong, but you're

1215
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,960
out there in the world in some
remote spot where you're hoping other

1216
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:11,000
players don't go and you're
grinding out your skills and you

1217
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:16,920
see that freaking T shaped
visor come over the rise and you

1218
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,800
know that there's a bounty
hunter that just found you. There

1219
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,590
was no other feeling in, in
games that I've had to this date

1220
01:16:24,830 --> 01:16:32,550
to see that you are in danger.
You need to leave because you're

1221
01:16:32,550 --> 01:16:37,350
about to die. That would be
the coolest freaking system to have

1222
01:16:37,350 --> 01:16:41,150
some type of a true PvP bounty
system in the game.

1223
01:16:41,150 --> 01:16:44,830
I can bring you in warm, I can
bring you in cold. I love that line

1224
01:16:44,830 --> 01:16:48,950
from the Mandalorian. That
would be amazing. Now they kind of

1225
01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:52,390
have that. But it's. It
doesn't really carry weight too much.

1226
01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:56,310
Like if you are in an area and
there is a player that's, you know,

1227
01:16:56,310 --> 01:17:01,350
kind of going crazy and it
does notify you and does mark their

1228
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:03,310
exact location and every place
that they're at.

1229
01:17:03,390 --> 01:17:03,790
Right.

1230
01:17:03,870 --> 01:17:07,510
However, I would love to see
more mystery into that. I would love

1231
01:17:07,510 --> 01:17:10,310
to see more features into
something like that. Making, you

1232
01:17:10,310 --> 01:17:15,070
know, bringing more worth to
the PvP experience in World of Warcraft.

1233
01:17:15,070 --> 01:17:17,500
That's just one way, dude. And
that's a great way you could do it.

1234
01:17:17,500 --> 01:17:19,580
Yeah. And legitimize that system.

1235
01:17:19,580 --> 01:17:20,020
Yes.

1236
01:17:20,020 --> 01:17:23,740
Like it's an actual. You can
take it as a profession.

1237
01:17:24,060 --> 01:17:26,460
Oh yeah. Oh gosh. Imagine that.

1238
01:17:26,460 --> 01:17:29,580
And there's a board. Oh, you
can take quests.

1239
01:17:29,660 --> 01:17:30,340
Yes, please.

1240
01:17:30,340 --> 01:17:35,820
To track down somebody for
better rewards and lore flavoring,

1241
01:17:35,900 --> 01:17:39,420
you know. And they could ease
with AI you could easily do it because

1242
01:17:39,420 --> 01:17:44,960
the system knows what player
killed this other player in what

1243
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:49,480
zone at what time of day. It
could easily be turned into a very

1244
01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:51,280
quick quest with AI.

1245
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,360
Yeah. And you can't leave war
mode until you are off the bounty

1246
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:54,640
board.

1247
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:01,200
That would be rad. Like. Yeah,
you, you, you fafo'd on that one.

1248
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,560
You have to round. You're
gonna find out stupid games, win

1249
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:06,400
stupid prizes.

1250
01:18:08,010 --> 01:18:12,090
Gosh. Well, thank you guys so
much for your emails. More pork and

1251
01:18:13,050 --> 01:18:15,250
snackfish. Thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

1252
01:18:15,250 --> 01:18:19,050
And of course you guys can
always submit your questions at Ashes

1253
01:18:19,050 --> 01:18:22,410
ash wow.
@azerothmoringradio.com over on our

1254
01:18:22,410 --> 01:18:27,530
contact page. You can always
email us azerothmorningradiomail.com

1255
01:18:28,250 --> 01:18:33,170
The funny thing is if you
submit mail, Snark is probably going

1256
01:18:33,170 --> 01:18:36,700
to bring up that mailbag
mayhem more often. It's weird how

1257
01:18:36,700 --> 01:18:37,140
that works.

1258
01:18:37,140 --> 01:18:40,140
It is weird how that works.
And. Or we may have paid the Goblins

1259
01:18:40,140 --> 01:18:42,620
x amount of dollars to make
sure that you know.

1260
01:18:42,620 --> 01:18:47,820
Yeah. And prepared for these
questions. That's true. 100% and

1261
01:18:47,820 --> 01:18:50,340
drove. The way the show is
going right.

1262
01:18:50,340 --> 01:18:52,820
Now, folks, we're taking a
quick commercial break. We're going

1263
01:18:52,820 --> 01:18:54,220
to close out the show. We'll
be right back.

1264
01:18:58,460 --> 01:19:02,150
Attention all adventures
heroes and and hungover mercenaries.

1265
01:19:02,550 --> 01:19:07,030
Lace up your boots and oil
those joints. It's time for the annual

1266
01:19:07,030 --> 01:19:12,790
Goldshire 5K race. That's
right. From Goldshire to Stormwind

1267
01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:13,944
and Back again. Make way for
the mountain goats. Test your endurance

1268
01:19:13,944 --> 01:19:13,954
against boars, wolves, and
that one Murloc who never learned

1269
01:19:13,954 --> 01:19:13,968
when to quit. Hey, I only lost
one boot and two toenails. But by

1270
01:19:13,968 --> 01:19:13,979
Bronzebeard's beard, the ale
at the finish line made it worth

1271
01:19:13,979 --> 01:19:13,982
every blister. That's right.
Cold Stormwind Special Reserve ale

1272
01:19:13,982 --> 01:19:13,982
for every finisher. I thought
I'd get eaten by wolves, but it was

1273
01:19:13,982 --> 01:19:13,982
the marching Stormwind Guard
that trampled me flat. Still got

1274
01:19:13,982 --> 01:19:13,982
my medal, though. Watch your
step, folks. The road to Stormwind

1275
01:19:13,982 --> 01:19:13,982
is full of danger, adventure,
and more questionable roadside vendors

1276
01:19:13,982 --> 01:19:13,982
than you can count. Potions
not totally poison. Andwhen you've

1277
01:18:59,828 --> 01:19:05,300
crossed that finish line, join
us for the Gold Shire Fair. Enjoy

1278
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:10,316
booths full of food, games,
music, and contests like Pin the

1279
01:19:10,316 --> 01:19:13,964
tail on the Kobold. Be nice to
kobolds. Andfor our more mature

1280
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:04,280
adventurers, once the sun
sets, the Lion's Pride Inn hosts

1281
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:08,160
the infamous afterparty. But
adults only, dearies. The last thing

1282
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:12,428
we need is another complaint
about someone's wand going off in

1283
01:19:12,428 --> 01:19:13,980
public. You've been warned.
TheLion's Pride after dark is not

1284
01:19:01,176 --> 01:19:06,220
for the faint of heart or
anyone with clothes on. So sign up

1285
01:19:06,220 --> 01:19:10,876
today for the Goldshire 5K.
Run for glory. Run for ale. Run,

1286
01:19:10,876 --> 01:19:13,979
because that bear behind you
is gaining speed. See you soon.

1287
01:21:06,830 --> 01:21:12,680
All right, everybody, thank
