1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,520
My hot take is that this raid 
tear, which was poised to go 

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:08,680
down as one of people's 
favorites of all time because of

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,000
the theme and the colorful 
bosses and some of the way the 

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,760
bosses play out. 
I actually think this is going 

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,080
to go down as one of the least 
enjoyed raid tears for the 

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,880
Forsaken. 
For Lauderon. 

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,960
For the Karen Tour for Pandaria.
For calendar. 

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,800
To the burning region for 
Gilnaeus have not done for the 

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,320
Lich King. 
For the. 

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:46,200
Sindora for the Alliance for. 
The Horn for Azeroth. 

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,560
Hello, and welcome back to 
another episode of For Azeroth. 

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,360
I am one of your hosts, the true
villain Manny, AKA Manny, and I 

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,440
am joined by the other two parts
of the Triumphant, starting off 

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,560
coming from, you know, parts 
unknown, we'll say Lex. 

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Lex, how are you doing and how's
the World of Warcraft been 

16
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,080
treating you? 
It's good. 

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,520
The World of Warcraft is 
treating me well. 

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,320
I got I didn't do a ton last 
week, but I got back into delves

19
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,240
this week and because I am 
capable of admitting when I'm 

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,040
wrong, I tried a tier 9 delve 
for the first time. 

21
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,080
And I will say that even though 
I wasn't getting a higher level 

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,920
gear reward, the fact that it 
was more challenging made it a 

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,240
more fun and more rewarding 
experience. 

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,960
So that was good. 
Oh yeah. 

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,200
I'm, I haven't, I really should 
do things with my priest because

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760
healing sounds like it's doing 
pretty well this tier. 

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,080
But levelling I've never been 
able to manage alts. 

28
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,880
It's just like I every couple 
tiers, like every couple patches

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,000
I'm like, oh, I can totally do 
an alt and I get them like 

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,640
halfway to Max level. 
And I'm like This is why I don't

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,040
do alts and I never play it 
again. 

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Yeah, I mean, I've finally 
started doing alts and getting 

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,800
pretty deep into like, well, I 
mean the war band, I've got 

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,640
Maine and three alts and the 
three alts are roughly there for

35
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,360
professions to get to keep 
things going. 

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,040
So I've been, I've been happy 
with that. 

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,040
But I'm glad that you are 
getting a little more challenge 

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600
out of Delves. 
And then let's go to the third 

39
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,000
part, returning from about of 
illness. 

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200
I'm hoping you're feeling much 
better. 

41
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,120
Sean, how are you doing? 
Good Manny. 

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,680
I am a million times better than
I was at this exact moment last 

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,160
week. 
It was not a good scene here. 

44
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,840
I'll never eat another hot dog 
again. 

45
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Oh no. 
It was pretty, pretty rough. 

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Yeah, I'm doing. 
I'm doing good. 

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,360
The game's doing well. 
We're rocking and rolling on 

48
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,040
both NA and EU. 
Yeah, things are going well in 

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,800
Warcraft. 
I feel like we can't say Lexus 

50
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600
and Parts Unknown anymore 
because I'm certain we've said 

51
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,800
her state a couple of times. 
You don't know. 

52
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,520
She could have moved, you know, 
I'm pretty sure. 

53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,960
I've posted my actual address on
my Guild discord, so if you 

54
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,800
really want to dox me, just go 
hop in the Timbermont Tavern 

55
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,200
discord. 
I don't think we'll do that. 

56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,160
We'll leave. 
Places where you could have 

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,640
doxxed yourself unknown, and 
we'll just let it fall into the 

58
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,200
the fog of war that history 
allows. 

59
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,920
You can do murloc noises that 
it's it can be on the list of 

60
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:34,760
things that I probably shouldn't
say out loud. 

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,120
And then I say on a podcast, 
immediately I'm like, why did I 

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
say that on a podcast? 
Well unfortunately you guys are 

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,000
out of luck because I am going 
to go far less on the editing. 

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Oh, I. 
Can. 

65
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,760
Swear as much as I want. 
I would say I. 

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,000
Mean I'll just bend the episode 
at a certain, certain point, 

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,480
it'll just be like, well, that's
just too much work and it won't 

68
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960
go live. 
So you guys, you guys test it at

69
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,720
your own leisure. 
I heard I heard Lex on another 

70
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,920
podcast last week. 
Oh yeah. 

71
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,680
That's how time works. 
I was on live laugh floor which 

72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,240
was very live. 
Laugh, Lex. 

73
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,000
Live laugh, Lex. 
There's no more when I'm around.

74
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,720
It's just me, Just Lex. 
Yeah, it was a great. 

75
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,480
But you know, you get to live 
and you get to laugh. 

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640
So how was that episode? 
Oh, it was so fun. 

77
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000
It was I, I always have so much 
fun. 

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,360
Jin is a lovely person to record
with. 

79
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,520
And we were just talking about 
the raid, which is very fun 

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,720
because we're on the same raid 
team. 

81
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,640
So we got to just, you know, 
like chat and, you know, talk 

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,160
about what our team was doing 
and all the like. 

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Fun, different things. 
And the raid is the raid's a fun

84
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,560
thing to chat about because it's
just a little silly. 

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680
You can just kind of get into 
the fact that it's a little 

86
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,960
silly. 
Yeah. 

87
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,880
I love live Lafleur. 
I love Ali and Jen, and I have 

88
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,880
never had a bad episode 
recording with Jen. 

89
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,040
I just think it's it's so much 
fun and it's so delightful. 

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,920
So definitely go check that out 
and go check out Live Lafleur in

91
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,840
general if you haven't. 
Yeah, there's no better way to 

92
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,480
enjoy listening to Lex than with
a little bit of gin. 

93
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:09,680
There you go, but speaking about
the raid, we are now past the 

94
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:13,080
Race to World First. 
We have crowned a winner and 

95
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440
everything. 
You were not here last week 

96
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Sean, so we did talk a little 
bit about it. 

97
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,800
But I really do want to give you
the stage to give your 

98
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,480
impressions because out of all 
of us, you are the person who 

99
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,680
was most up to date on 
everything going on and you have

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,520
the mythic experience from your 
own playthrough. 

101
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,440
So how was the Race to World 
First in general and how is the 

102
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:42,040
rate for you right now? 
The raid for me right now is 

103
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,760
good. 
We're currently working on Styx 

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,600
Bunk Junker, which is this tears
Ovanax. 

105
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,480
That's the big wall. 
Early on in the raid, the 

106
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Blizzard said they weren't going
to do that. 

107
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,280
They did, yeah. 
So we're working on that. 

108
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,480
It's it's caught some nerfs 
which help, but it's still an 

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,000
extremely difficult fight that 
requires the use of a week or A 

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,320
to properly do so. 
That's good. 

111
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,120
It's yeah. 
But it's fun though. 

112
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,200
The fights have been fun. 
Rick Reverb was fun. 

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,960
We killed him last week, called 
in a car and it just fun. 

114
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,880
And we're looking forward to the
fights coming up. 

115
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:27,040
But we also are understanding 
that the fights coming up will 

116
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560
fall off a bit in difficulty 
plus you. 

117
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,440
Don't get to roll around in 
balls. 

118
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Because we don't get to roll 
around in balls, yeah. 

119
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,480
Other than rolling around on 
balls though for the for the 

120
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080
listeners at home that aren't 
diving into mythic, I've done it

121
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,720
on heroic. 
I haven't done it into mythic. 

122
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,880
How does the weak or work? 
Like what's the Why is it 

123
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520
necessary? 
So you break the room, you put 4

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,920
four world markers down breaking
the room into quadrants and then

125
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,720
the weak or assigned you what 
quadrant you roll on your ball. 

126
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,000
So when you get, because each 
quadrant has a scrap master, 

127
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,160
which is targeting a player with
an ability that will one shot 

128
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,400
them if it gets off. 
So every ball has to get to 

129
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,560
middle size and roll up your 
scrap master before that cast 

130
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840
finishes. 
And in order to do that 

131
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,840
efficiently, you need to know 
that each one is accounted for. 

132
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,600
So you do that by assigning 
quadrants. 

133
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,640
There's not enough time to do 
that manually or by verbally 

134
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,120
saying so and so take this so 
and so take that. 

135
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,600
So you need a weak or to assign 
it. 

136
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,680
And then there's also the two 
bombs in each quadrant to take 

137
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680
care of. 
So the Wiggori is essentially 

138
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,800
puts on your screen for arrows 
that are color-coded to whatever

139
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
your quadrant is. 
And then you go and you're 

140
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,960
responsible for the scrap master
and or bomb in that quadrant. 

141
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080
That sounds. 
So fun, like I can totally hear 

142
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,000
that that was not well tuned and
that makes it less fun. 

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,120
But like conceptually that 
sounds like a really fun like if

144
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,040
if it was maybe managed a little
bit cleaner. 

145
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Yeah, it's yeah. 
Sorry, I don't mean to like 

146
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,760
define your experience for you. 
No, it could be. 

147
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:09,960
It's not unfun. 
It's just, I don't know. 

148
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,440
It's it's just irritating to 
know that yeah, it's not fun. 

149
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,040
I don't enjoy it. 
That's. 

150
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:16,880
True. 
Never mind. 

151
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
It sounds terrible. 
It sounds really stupid, I take 

152
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:20,600
it. 
Back. 

153
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,840
It will be fun if it didn't like
if, if you could just do it 

154
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,040
right. 
Like in heroic, you get you get 

155
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,760
assigned balls, people can just 
do them. 

156
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,000
You grab a scrap master, you hit
the bomb, there's 4 balls, 

157
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,159
there's two bombs. 
There's two scrap masters in, in

158
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,440
heroic, I think maybe 3 
depending on your its scales 

159
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,280
based on your, your size, 
probably you can Yolo that, you 

160
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,200
know what I mean? 
You can just go, you don't need 

161
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
a week or to assign that. 
But we have to like we have to 

162
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,840
update this week or a pack every
single raid day. 

163
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,480
Every member of the raid team 
has to update it because it's 

164
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,040
going to assign these quadrants 
and it's it would just be. 

165
00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:00,200
And it's like, can we just 
design that bosses where, where 

166
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,600
we don't have to make these 
decisions in such a short time? 

167
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,280
Please learn, learn one lesson. 
Learn any lesson from these 

168
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600
bosses where we've had these 
problems in the past, like echo 

169
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,040
of Noetherian. 
Just just please learn this 

170
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,320
lesson that you need to give 
more time so the players can 

171
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,560
compute it themselves instead of
requiring a week or. 

172
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:23,400
Or just assign it right, like 
make it so that the game it's 

173
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,080
like you know, will come up and 
you can only go in your one 

174
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,400
quadrant and. 
They're capable of. 

175
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,840
I think what frustrates me the 
most, it's like you just have 

176
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,440
kids. 
Either of you have kids. 

177
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,080
I have a dog which. 
Is basically the same right? 

178
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
We just left every parental 
listener by the way they all 

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,880
like immediately signed off like
never hearing this again. 

180
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,200
I know neither of you have kids.
I have a kid. 

181
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,920
But it's like when you you tell 
your kid like this is what you 

182
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,200
know, when you're done playing 
with your toys, you put your 

183
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,760
toys away. 
And you watch them play with 

184
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120
their toys every day. 
And every day they put three of 

185
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,320
their toys away. 
But they leave two of them on 

186
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,920
the floor. 
So you know that they know to 

187
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,120
put their toys away. 
You know they know because 

188
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,720
they're doing it. 
It's like, I see you, Connor. 

189
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,040
I see you. 
You're putting your toys away. 

190
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,320
I'm very proud of you. 
Thank you. 

191
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,560
You're great. 
But then they leave 2 toys on 

192
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,720
the floor every day. 
Connor, why don't you put these 

193
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,880
away? 
Oh, I didn't know. 

194
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,680
I had to. 
You didn't know you didn't know 

195
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:21,240
you put them away. 
One armed bandit and this, this 

196
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,320
is what I'm getting out of this 
one armed bandit is great 

197
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,720
visually, it flashes in giant 
neon on the sides. 

198
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,400
What combinations are available 
to you that you can do that 

199
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,240
won't cause you to put the boss 
into fraud? 

200
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,560
And the enemies themselves have 
those arrows flashing on their 

201
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,640
heads. 
So they, they learned you have 

202
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,640
plenty of time to look and 
identify which ones to kill and 

203
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,200
call it an obviously people are 
using we coral lists because 

204
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280
it's easier to track it, but you
don't need it. 

205
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,680
It's not mandatory because you 
could do it on your own if you 

206
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,560
had somebody who was dedicated 
and you know, who was really 

207
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,480
sharp could figure that out. 
So they know to put their joints

208
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,120
away. 
But anyway, that's, that's where

209
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,760
we're at. 
We're on, we're on Styx. 

210
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,640
I'm looking forward to sprocket 
monger prog when Styx is done. 

211
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,560
We'll see what happens. 
OK, but you just mentioned one 

212
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:19,840
armed bandit though, and that's 
supposedly one of the hardest 

213
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,240
bosses for its spot. 
Like that's boss number six. 

214
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,960
One of the hardest 6 bosses in 
history is what people are 

215
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,200
saying. 
I know different people have 

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,360
been saying it. 
Wow had put out an article. 

217
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,320
If you go over to Raider dot IO 
at the current time there's only

218
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,000
40 gills that have actually down
that and we're now way through 

219
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,520
week week 3. 
Yeah, I don't think I I think 

220
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,920
you're mixing 2 narratives 
together. 

221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Styx Bunk Junker is the hardest 
fourth boss in history. 

222
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,280
One arm one arm Bandit is not 
the hardest 6th. 

223
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960
It is a difficult boss, but I 
don't think it's been called the

224
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,320
hardest 6th boss in history. 
I mean. 

225
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Not to generally quote this, but
this is an article by Squishy 

226
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,280
who was nice to meet but like 
only 30. 

227
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,200
This is literally a day ago so 
hey, congratulations on 10 more 

228
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,640
guilds making it through, but 
only 30 guilds have killed 

229
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,440
mythic 1 armed bandit in 21 
days. 

230
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Hardest 6th boss ever made is 
the title of the article. 

231
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,040
And it's not just Squishy. 
OK. 

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Right, I have seen some other. 
I think the difference is 1 arm 

233
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:41,080
bandits difficulty is tuning 
it's HP and it's it's it's 

234
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,720
health values and damage values 
of the abilities versus 

235
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:51,320
complexity of the mechanics. 
And that could that Canon will 

236
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,680
be dialed down, but yeah, but 
it's that. 

237
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,440
And I don't necessarily have a 
problem with the 6th boss being 

238
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,200
harder and then the seventh boss
being harder and then the last 

239
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,720
boss being harder 'cause you 
want a damage ramp up. 

240
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:12,280
Yeah, but I'm. 
Also curious how much the 

241
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,080
difficulty of sticks place in or
like I'm not doubting that. 

242
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,600
I I listen we tried heroic and 
on the second boss we were like 

243
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,480
oh maybe we were a little under 
geared. 

244
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,480
So like God knows I am not. 
I don't know. 

245
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,600
I'm only pulling this together 
from context clues. 

246
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,800
I am. 
One thing that I kind of am 

247
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,520
curious about though is how much
the heavy stacking of difficulty

248
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,440
early on would affect numbers. 
Because if fewer people are 

249
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,920
getting past sticks, then fewer 
people are going to be getting 

250
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,720
to 1 arm bandit even. 
Yeah, the same thing happened 

251
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,840
last year with Oven Axe and 
Kyvesa. 4000 guilds got stuck on

252
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Oven Axe and then very few 
people killed the bosses after 

253
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,480
that. 
And everybody was like, oh, 

254
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,800
these bosses are so hard after 
this. 

255
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,880
I was like, well, there's no 
teams even getting there. 

256
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,400
That's just. 
And that goes to kind of the 

257
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,280
deflated ending of the Race to 
World first, where with that 

258
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,520
final boss having it get down by
like 100 kills and then the next

259
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,880
one was like 50 kills, like less
than 50 kills and then 104 kills

260
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,960
for the third, third kill. 
You're saying kill. 

261
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,880
He's saying kills, but he means 
pulls for the lives, yeah. 

262
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,960
Yeah, my apologies. 
Pulls in order to secure the 

263
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,120
kill where it felt much weaker 
than previous bosses, especially

264
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,160
boss #4 that you were saying 
with Bunk Junker so. 

265
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,480
Watching for example, for 
example, Styx bunk Junker I 

266
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:49,240
think was a 200 plus pull boss 
for Liquid and Galliwicks was 

267
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120
100. 
So the fourth boss was I think 

268
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,280
it was 200, but it was like 
double the pulls. 

269
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,000
That's I I could check, but 
yeah. 

270
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Oh, I'm totally a liar. 
Because there's been, it looks 

271
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,080
like, unless I'm misreading 
radar, IOI think there's been a 

272
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,520
481 kills on sticks. 
But is that no, that can't pot? 

273
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,240
Nope, there is. 
That sounds right. 

274
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,200
Yep. 
So that I that that to 40 is is 

275
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,600
not it's not that there's. 
AI mean there? 

276
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,560
Probably is a little bit of a 
bottleneck, but there's not a 

277
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
bottleneck from sticks to one 
armed bandit, so. 

278
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Yeah. 
No, they are. 

279
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,120
But there are all, they are all 
that there's jumps there. 

280
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,440
It's they're very, the 
difficulty is not linear in any 

281
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,880
stretch of the imagination. 
It's it's all over the place. 

282
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,480
They have it's probably the 
worst tuned rate I've ever seen 

283
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,720
for tuning. 
But yeah, that's get another one

284
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,720
in three weeks. 
So don't worry about. 

285
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,680
It that that is what I'm what 
I'm hearing is that the tuning 

286
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,480
through this off I've I've heard
people saying that like, oh, 

287
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,920
this race was ruined because of 
the the tuning. 

288
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
And just to go again, this is 
radar IO. 

289
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,200
You're looking at bunk junker 
being 114 kills for liquid and 

290
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:11,720
on its first one, you're looking
at mugsy being 149 pulls before 

291
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760
its first kill. 
And then yeah, 100 kill, 100 

292
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:21,160
pulls on the dot to get the 
first kill for for Galliwicks. 

293
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,440
And there is now that now 
infamous pose of of just 

294
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,360
shrugging Max being like, what? 
This is it. 

295
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,320
So there's definitely a lot of 
contention with this and you're 

296
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,320
not, you're feeling it in your 
progression. 

297
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,560
Yes and no. 
Progression for us is a boat on 

298
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,560
par where it has been in the 
past, but at this point last 

299
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,640
year we were four of eight and 
this year we're three of eight. 

300
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Yeah, so I don't know, it's just
part. 

301
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,480
I don't know if it's part of 
it's the Racer World first 

302
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:14,119
hangover, but the raid itself 
has not impressed me. 

303
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,480
I've not enjoyed my time with 
it. 

304
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,640
Once I get AOTC on my EU Guild I
won't be farming this every 

305
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280
week. 
I have no desire to to be there 

306
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,240
and it just feels like it just 
misses the mark a lot. 

307
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,000
I we need a heroic week for 
tuning Like we obviously, very 

308
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,440
clearly need a heroic week for 
tuning. 

309
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,840
Blizzard is incapable of 
launching a raid tier tuned 

310
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,280
correctly for either the race or
the real world without one. 

311
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,560
We have to have heroic weeks 
back. 

312
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,040
We can't. 
This is not sustainable in this 

313
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600
in this state. 
It's just not fun. 

314
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240
It makes me want to not rate 
like your fellowship was going 

315
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,840
to be playing that. 
It's that frustrating for me. 

316
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,280
And it's just because like I, I 
know they can do that. 

317
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,800
I know they can know how to put 
their toys away. 

318
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,520
You know, I know they can do it.
So please just do it. 

319
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,800
And then even when they make 
tuning change, they missed the 

320
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,960
mark. 
They tuned miss weavers and sent

321
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320
the tune, sent the patch live 
Tuesday. 

322
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,480
But the nerf, they gave them a 
nerf because some of their 

323
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,960
abilities are too strong, but 
they gave them a compensatory 

324
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,200
buff, but they didn't actually 
put the nerf on. 

325
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,720
They just put the buff on. 
So Miss Weavers went live with 

326
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,760
the 25% buff when they What are 
we doing here? 

327
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,240
Must be adjusted. 
Yeah, and Survival Hunters went 

328
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,320
live with an ability that was 
only supposed to have a 10 

329
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,920
second duration and I think they
gave it a 14 second duration or 

330
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,640
something like that. 
It's like there, there was some 

331
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,800
survival hunter thing that they 
did like, I don't know, man. 

332
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,000
I, I don't know. 
I'm I, I worry for the quality 

333
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,760
of the game we're playing. 
I mean, that goes to a refrain 

334
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
that Lex has been saying, 
beating that drum for many weeks

335
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,320
now. 
Lex, would you like to? 

336
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,680
I was going to be very polite 
after our last episode and say 

337
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,440
like, let let everyone think it 
in their own heads. 

338
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:20,600
I mean, yeah, I, I'm, I'm 
concerned that, as I have said 

339
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,280
every week, it's not that we put
out content slow or it's not 

340
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,600
that the Blizzard team put out 
content slower historically 

341
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,040
because they were lazy and liked
to sit on their thumbs. 

342
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,200
I think that there's a benefit 
to space and testing time both 

343
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,920
for the sake of the employees, 
but also for the sake of the 

344
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,640
game. 
I think that when things are 

345
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,320
because you know, even if even I
guess I should say even if there

346
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880
is not an issue with the it's 
perfectly if there's not an 

347
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,640
issue of crunch with the 
employees, that probably means 

348
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
that the game quality is going 
to be affected even more because

349
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,320
again, it's not that it took 
it's not that historically 

350
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,040
content took longer because the 
Blizzard team was spending all 

351
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,880
of their time eating pizza 
right. 

352
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:06,160
So if we assume that like either
to put out content this much 

353
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,640
faster, they. 
Either have to shove man hours 

354
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,760
into a shorter period of time or
do fewer man hours on patches. 

355
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,600
If they're not shoving man hours
into a shorter period of time, 

356
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,400
patches are not going to be as 
well tested. 

357
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,680
That's my take. 
I think that I think they should

358
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,640
slow things down, and that's not
just because I want to cuddle my

359
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,720
puppy instead of doing dolls. 
Don't worry about that. 

360
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,400
And to, to answer your question 
about the race specifically, it 

361
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:39,280
was four days too long. 
The race, I, I, I, I famously 

362
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,560
had to cancel my trip to Toronto
because the race was still going

363
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,840
on on Saturday. 
And then they killed the bus on 

364
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,320
Sunday. 
So the race they, they, they 

365
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,520
literally killed it less than 24
hours later than I needed them 

366
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,320
to in order for me to have been 
able to go to Toronto for the, 

367
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,560
for the event. 
So that also factors into my 

368
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,120
feelings on on this tear in this
race. 

369
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,000
We need a heroic back and I 
don't want a worst world first 

370
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,840
that lasts more than seven days.
I don't, I don't want it to go 

371
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,240
over a reset. 
I, I don't, we hit that seven 

372
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,720
day mark and I just don't care 
anymore. 

373
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,600
I just want it to be over. 
It's not exciting. 

374
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,560
It's not interesting. 
I I stopped watching like I 

375
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,040
don't I'm not interested in it. 
Well, and the decision, I, I 

376
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,960
will say very specifically the 
decision to layer a new patch 

377
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960
release and this content like, 
not this like community 

378
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,080
organization, but there was 
going to be pulling a lot of 

379
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:40,680
content creators in such a way 
that they did kind of block each

380
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920
other out. 
Was not a choice I would have 

381
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,360
made, especially given that they
have this all mapped out. 

382
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:50,440
It's like, I understand they're 
going worldwide, but I, I surely

383
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,440
do not think you were the only 
person who chose not to go to 

384
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,920
the like. 
I'm I'm sure they were race to 

385
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,040
world firsters who would have 
loved to go to. 

386
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,000
I mean, I don't know where they 
all live. 

387
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,520
I don't really follow the race 
to world worst, but like I'm 

388
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,600
sure there are players who would
have gone to the Toronto event 

389
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,120
but couldn't because they were 
literally actively racing I so I

390
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:07,760
don't know how I feel about 
that. 

391
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,320
I mean, but I guess that kind of
is like how are they going to do

392
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,040
multiple events globally where 
like they're flying everyone out

393
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,840
everywhere they're going to, 
someone's going to overlap with 

394
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,040
something, right? 
Like it's just too much time 

395
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,280
that has to be covered. 
Wait till you find out what's 

396
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,600
coming up in Boston because I 
got accidentally added to this 

397
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,640
group chat on with a bunch of 
Blizzard devs and they're 

398
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,320
sending out all the secret 
information and I'm in here. 

399
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,360
I don't think I'm supposed to 
be. 

400
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,880
But he's OPSEC. 
But yeah, don't worry, Absec is.

401
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:38,000
Clean. 
Well, you know, Blizzard 

402
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,360
employees have standards, so 
somebody's going to lose their 

403
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:42,840
job over that. 
I'm sure other industries said 

404
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,520
that it's slide, but Blizzard 
has standards. 

405
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,440
That's right. 
Going forward though, we've now 

406
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,880
reached the end of the race, 
world 1st, and with the close of

407
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,520
that race, we get a list of 
changes, class balances. 

408
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,440
You talked a little bit about 
it, about how the mist Weaver 

409
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:07,200
we're supposed to get nerves and
compensatory buffs and that 

410
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,640
didn't quite hit right. 
So we're they're going to have 

411
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,280
to come back and hot fix that 
in. 

412
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,640
But we also saw a number of 
these meta specs getting hit and

413
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,400
brought back back down and a 
bunch of these like specs that 

414
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,720
weren't getting a lot of play 
getting some buffs. 

415
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:32,640
Now in some cases it feels like 
even if it hit as they had put 

416
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,880
it down in paper, it doesn't 
feel quite like enough. 

417
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,880
Like demon hunters getting a 
nerf, Sure, that's fine because 

418
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,560
they were incredibly strong and 
they got a a nerf to one talent 

419
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,760
that reduced their or rather 
increased their Perry chance, 

420
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,760
and that's being dropped a bit. 
But Death Knights, which saw 

421
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:58,920
almost no play in the race to 
World first frost, gets a 4% 

422
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,880
damage increase aura and that's 
supposed to be enough? 

423
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,680
That feels wholly lacking in my 
in my book. 

424
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Well. 
My understanding from the death 

425
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Knights not, and this is only 
from listening to my previous 

426
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,480
death knight friend who now 
switched to a Demon Hunter tank.

427
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,520
My understanding of why Death 
Knights aren't getting play is 

428
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,880
because the Death Knight utility
is about pulling things closer 

429
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,760
to you, and there aren't a lot 
of ads in this rage. 

430
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,280
So short of adding new ads that 
was never like there, there's no

431
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,880
real way to make that like that.
Utility just isn't going to 

432
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,240
exist. 
Or or. 

433
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,640
Fully redoing the demon the the 
the Death Knight utility. 

434
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,640
There's an interview where they 
said we don't feel like Death 

435
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,960
Knight needs to have a raid buff
because the grip that they bring

436
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,280
is like their raid buff and then
they implemented a raid where 

437
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,680
90% of the ads cannot be 
gripped. 

438
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,000
Yeah, I mean, we were just 
talking about bunk, bunk, bunk. 

439
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,520
Sticks. 
Bunk Junker. 

440
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,880
Bunk junker and if you could 
pull those ads onto the boss 

441
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,680
right and keep them gripped so 
they wouldn't fly away, I'd pull

442
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,400
death Knights in and just have 
them like staggering their their

443
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,760
grippy hands. 
So like there's there's clear 

444
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,560
things you. 
Can grip the territorial 

445
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,640
bombshells, yeah, but the and I 
think the hyenas maybe, but you 

446
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,280
roll them up anyway. 
But not the scrap masters. 

447
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,680
No, the scrap masters in 
particular, because those are 

448
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,280
the ones that like rocket away. 
That would be the big difference

449
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,560
maker. 
And then if you could grip them 

450
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,880
in, then you could also have one
person with one ball roll over 

451
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,760
all of them, right? 
Then you wouldn't have to assign

452
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:38,840
quadrants. 
Or am I tripping out? 

453
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,080
Yeah, but you'd also end up 
stunning the DK in the process. 

454
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,440
It's just. 
Maybe it's worth it. 

455
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,280
DKS are. 
Yeah, that's what they get for 

456
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,520
being. 
I. 

457
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,120
Oh yeah, I. 
Think that like if their damage 

458
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:53,400
was high enough, if they were 
just bringing damage, people 

459
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,240
would be like, OK, we're giving 
up some utility, but we're 

460
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,720
bringing that, bringing the 
damage. 

461
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,840
It's like Hunter's raid buff is 
a front loaded damage amp that 

462
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,680
means very little when a lot of 
these fights really become like 

463
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,560
the pressure points are at the 
end of the fights. 

464
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,640
So like, I mean, there's spaces 
for it. 

465
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,240
Like not every raid buff is 
like, I must have that. 

466
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560
So like when your utility isn't 
there, bring the damage. 

467
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,520
But if you're not going to bring
the damage or the utility, yeah,

468
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,880
I can understand that. 
My hot take is that this raid 

469
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,480
tear, which was poised to go 
down as one of people's 

470
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,600
favorites of all time because of
the theme and the colorful 

471
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,680
bosses and some of the way the 
bosses play out. 

472
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,280
I actually think this is going 
to go down as one of the least 

473
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,360
enjoyed raid tears of all time. 
Like right up there with like 

474
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,320
Emerald Nightmare and Crucible 
of Storms. 

475
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,200
Crucible of Storms was Crucible 
of Storms was the Nightmare. 

476
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,120
Emerald Nightmare, I like, I 
think it just went so fast and 

477
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,760
was so monotonous that that's 
why it was bad. 

478
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,520
But anyways, yeah, I can. 
I can understand those examples.

479
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,840
Wait until I tell you about how 
the skip functions. 

480
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,160
Augmentation is getting a a a 
damage buff and it's and it's 

481
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,120
nobody was bringing Ogg for its 
own damage, giving it a 15% 

482
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,920
damage buff after you've like 
very much took in the taken the 

483
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,680
time to gut its literal spec 
identity do any. 

484
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,520
Of the listeners, I don't. 
Want to say slap in the face? 

485
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,600
Do any of the listeners remember
when I said by the end of this 

486
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,920
expansion augmentation will just
be a straight DPS class? 

487
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,720
I'd love to be able to pull that
that. 

488
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,280
Find that clip and pull that 
clip. 

489
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,200
Because I feel like we're almost
there. 

490
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,200
We're almost there. 
I mean, I, I, I go back to our 

491
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:01,400
sit down where we were talking 
with Jericho and how what 

492
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,800
augmentation really needs is 
competition in the space. 

493
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:12,080
Yeah, we need to stop listening 
to the 15 very vocal high key 

494
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,080
pushers on Twitter who scream 
about how Ogg has ruined keys 

495
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,680
for them and just listen to the 
actual player base who enjoyed 

496
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:26,920
having a support smack. 
Like I get it, player poem got X

497
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,240
is upset that we bring hogs. 
We'll just give us more support 

498
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,160
options there, but they won't 
support is dead. 

499
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,400
We're going to, There was a one 
of the interviews in the last 

500
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,200
cycle from a dev said. 
We don't think you guys want 

501
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,880
support cycles, support classes.
Which means we're not. 

502
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,600
We're they're gone, I'll go be 
Adps class guaranteed without a 

503
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,520
doubt. 
Bar none, it will slowly have 

504
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,680
all of its its augmentation 
stripped away. 

505
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Well, and part of the issue is 
how we to my understanding 

506
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,040
again, this is not saying that I
actually do so you guys can tell

507
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,640
me that I'm just being a silly 
little fool who's pretending 

508
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,600
that I know things I don't. 
But to my understanding, part of

509
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,240
the issue is that we like, it's 
just in how we track DPS. 

510
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,640
And I, if I could wave a magic 
wand and make World of Warcraft 

511
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,360
players less obsessed about 
numbers and like watching those 

512
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,480
numbers, I would in an instant. 
I think it would make Mythic 

513
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Plus happier. 
I think it would make everyone 

514
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,920
happier in general. 
But like, yeah, the fact that 

515
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,120
like tomorrow training Augie 
doesn't really fit into details 

516
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,040
super cleanly. 
And it also doesn't really fit 

517
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,480
into logs super cleanly. 
So it looks like it's doing 

518
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,480
really limited damage, even when
like then you look at the like, 

519
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,200
you know, other person that's 
burning. 

520
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,200
So don't look at numbers. 
Everyone delete details. 

521
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,840
Everyone delete all of your 
add-ons. 

522
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,440
No more add-ons in this game. 
We should be Final Fantasy. 

523
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,760
Not really. 
Please don't please God, don't 

524
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,240
make us like final. 
I mean, like it's fine. 

525
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,120
There's there's benefits to 
Final Fantasy, but don't do 

526
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,160
that. 
As Tim, if you're listening, 

527
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,400
that was a joke. 
Lex was joking. 

528
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,680
It was a. 
Funny thing with the with the 

529
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,720
cooldown manager coming in 11 
point 1.5, we might be heading 

530
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,400
in that direction where they 
lock down more of it and you 

531
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,080
might get your wish Lex or not 
really your wish, whichever side

532
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,560
of you and eventually ended up 
lying down on anyways. 

533
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,720
I I do think that with sorry, I 
have to go back through all the 

534
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,000
things that you said 
augmentation. 

535
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,640
I know in logs you can delineate
and see what they provided, but 

536
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,760
in the in the add-ons that are 
live pulling that data, it 

537
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,560
doesn't show up. 
So yeah, you're right, that 

538
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,920
information's there in some 
places and not in others. 

539
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,720
And so people can do a snap 
reaction. 

540
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:42,160
But I think that people now 
understand that Aug is inflating

541
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,680
your numbers even if they don't 
know exactly how much the Aug 

542
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,040
player is inflating your 
numbers. 

543
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:55,880
And the biggest issue with 
augmentation outside of the fact

544
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,440
that it was making tanks and 
healers more effective more than

545
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:05,760
any other class, was that the 
high end augs was all about 

546
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,640
lining up the cooldown windows 
and such to get the most out of 

547
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,480
it. 
Where the plug scenario, you 

548
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,320
weren't getting that much and so
there was a huge variance 

549
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,600
between the everyday play at 
home people and the like, people

550
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,080
who were absolutely kidding it 
out. 

551
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,760
So it's been the balance issue 
since day one in so many 

552
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,640
different ways that I don't 
think it necessarily had to be 

553
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,200
really. 
I would argue that that, I mean,

554
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,960
we won't talk about it because 
everybody likes to think that 

555
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,160
they could be on the PGA Tour if
they just had enough time 

556
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:47,040
golfing, but that that skill gap
exists in every single class. 

557
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,080
The best players in the world 
are playing a different game 

558
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,120
than anybody who's not in one of
the top three guilds in the 

559
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,880
world. 
If you're not in a top three 

560
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,360
Guild in the world or an AWC 
champion, you're not playing the

561
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,600
same game. 
They are playing those classes, 

562
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,680
all of those classes at a level 
so much higher than you could 

563
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:12,160
ever fathom that it was. 
It doesn't matter if it's Ogg or

564
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:18,040
fire mage or rogue like. 
They're just, but we don't, we 

565
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,800
don't say those things. 
People say things like, well, if

566
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,440
I could play 16 hours a day, I 
would be just as good as Trill. 

567
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Yeah, I don't know if I like 
that's. 

568
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,160
What I've had. 
The gear I think that I could be

569
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,720
in limit. 
That's right. 

570
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,080
That's right. 
That's what they sound like. 

571
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,600
Like. 
Yeah. 

572
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,720
And I think that you're right, 
John, But I think that when they

573
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,680
make changes, it was hard for 
them to bring it in line at the 

574
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,160
top end without causing it to 
drop further on the low end. 

575
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,040
I think that was the issue. 
Like usually you can screw up 

576
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,440
your rotation and it drops your 
your damage commensurate to 

577
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,640
that. 
But it's but with this, you 

578
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:59,520
could screw up your rotation and
that would be one thing, but the

579
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,040
person that you're also buffing 
could screw up the rotation and 

580
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,640
that would cause an issue and. 
The. 

581
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,600
Combined mistakes between, yeah,
exactly compounding it, right. 

582
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,400
And so if it was I guess a buff 
class where the entire thing 

583
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,080
you're doing is just, I'm 
spinning plates, I got to keep 

584
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,920
this buff up 24/7. 
And that's like what my rotation

585
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,400
is. 
So that it's a flat line of like

586
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,640
buffs. 
I'm, I'm not sure that would be 

587
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,840
the engaging spec that people 
would want. 

588
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,520
Like I hated total twisting back
in BC I quit the game because I 

589
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,960
was expected to totem twist and 
I'm like this is not fun for me,

590
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,720
forget it. 
I don't want to be thrown in 

591
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,120
with the melee group and make 
sure that my strength of earth 

592
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,680
totem is down like that. 
That was never compelling for me

593
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,240
and I just left the left the 
game until Wrath switched up 

594
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,840
what shamans did. 
Back in. 

595
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,960
BC yes, way back before then, 
but I'm just saying that was a 

596
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,240
time when it was totem twisting 
and it was seal. 

597
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,000
I forget what the hell Palens 
were doing some seal thing 

598
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,840
around and you would have 
warriors that would jump between

599
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:16,080
stances and all of that jazz. 
But you know, if the as a 

600
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,520
separate spec, it is there for 
some people to enjoy. 

601
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:26,000
And that's what Sean was saying.
It just, it just becomes an 

602
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,800
issue where when you're when 
your contribution is so 

603
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:37,000
dependent on other players, it 
becomes very hard to correct for

604
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,239
your contribution and what your 
what your contribution is being,

605
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:48,199
I don't want to say exploited 
leverage to get the final number

606
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,760
right. 
That's a multiple points of 

607
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,360
failure. 
Yeah, that's true. 

608
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,480
Beyond that, yeah, we got a 
bunch of classes that got some 

609
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,720
changes. 
Again, we talked about the Miss 

610
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,440
Weaver thing. 
I do want to give a special 

611
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,360
shout out to Holy Paladins that 
were really suffering. 

612
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:13,000
They did a flat out buff. 
They did some very specific 

613
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,120
buffs to like further give them 
some energy, and then they had 

614
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,200
to come back the next day and 
give them even more buffs 

615
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,760
because Holy Paladins were 
really struggling. 

616
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,320
I haven't played with the holy 
paladin or spoken to any holy 

617
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,200
paladin since these compound 
compounded buffs have come in. 

618
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,000
Do any of you know how this is 
landing now with the second wave

619
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,640
having hit? 
I'm seeing, I'm seeing some 

620
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,640
shaking. 
The holy paladin that I play 

621
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,000
with has been playing Holy 
Paladin for so long, I think 

622
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,040
that you would have to pry that 
class out of his cold dead 

623
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,360
hands. 
So I don't know how he's feeling

624
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,400
about it, but he's still playing
Holy Paladin so. 

625
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,360
OK, well, you know, the diehards
stick with it and it's a better,

626
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,200
better thing. 
And I'm very happy for those 

627
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:13,240
Holy Paladin enjoyers, those 
crusaders, if you will, because 

628
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,040
you have people like Chrisette, 
that Sean and I know you have 

629
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,120
people like your Holy Paladin 
friend that ride through the 

630
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,920
lows. 
And now hopefully this is going 

631
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,760
to land in a spot where they'll 
be in a much better position. 

632
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,480
Healer's got a lot of 
adjustments to sort of bring 

633
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,360
them more in line. 
I'm seeing this priest get 

634
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,160
adjusted. 
Oracle's getting a big, big 

635
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:43,440
shift and Holy priest being 
brought into a brought into line

636
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:49,600
a bit better. 
I mean, hoping that we see again

637
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,880
a meta shift because of these 
these changes. 

638
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,720
But Sean, have we really seen a 
meta sort of like settle in in 

639
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,840
the first 3 weeks? 
Seems really fast but it is 

640
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,840
season 2. 
I haven't really been tracking 

641
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,520
it, if I'm being honest. 
I know Vengeance Demon hunters 

642
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,840
are are hot right now, but I 
haven't been tracking a meta. 

643
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,520
Yeah, the race really sucked the
life out of me. 

644
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,360
That was really, really 
disappointed. 

645
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,080
Yeah, no, but like, you know 
what, let's hear it from our 

646
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,880
listeners. 
I know last season we were 

647
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,000
looking at the various 
statistics of like we're the 

648
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,320
tanks and healers, especially 
the healers 'cause that was a 

649
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,320
big hot topic at the beginning 
of Season 1 were. 

650
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,800
And if you'd like us to check in
on that, let us know. 

651
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,480
Just join jump into the discord 
bit dot LY slash fast discord, 

652
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,000
and we will look at that 
depending on the reaction. 

653
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,920
Big reaction. 
Speaking of big reactions, 

654
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,280
everybody has been talking about
this DDoS attack. 

655
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,520
So I John, I know you've been 
hurting after the race, the 

656
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,080
world first, but have you heard 
about this? 

657
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,600
So I know there was some DDoS 
attacks during the race, but 

658
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,920
this was only fangs right? 
The really loud, obnoxious 

659
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,640
content creator Guild that is 
playing hardcore classic? 

660
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,480
That's them, right? 
Definitely the name and 

661
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:24,920
definitely some pinon wrapped in
with that. 

662
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,840
And I guess they were rating and
there was a deal attack happened

663
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,680
and I assume I can only assume 
screaming into the mics followed

664
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,400
lots of. 
Content. 

665
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,840
Yeah, OK. 
And then it was it was a no, 

666
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,600
like somebody was specifically 
targeting them, apparently, and 

667
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,240
Blizzard made the decision to 
roll back their deaths. 

668
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,800
Is that right? 
They yeah, they're resurrecting 

669
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,320
a bunch of characters, which 
they have said is they could do 

670
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,400
on the discretion. 
Did we have to blame pirate 

671
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,400
software for this one or was 
this separate? 

672
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,280
I can't. 
It's so hard to keep track of. 

673
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,960
The only fangs drama is where 
they did they. 

674
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,760
Did the D dos happen because he 
ran away from a pole or did the 

675
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,160
D dos happen because the DPS 
didn't stand in the fire and 

676
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,320
help save Tyler? 
One I I I just have a hard time 

677
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,960
remembering which scream fest 
was the cause of it. 

678
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,600
They scream so much Manny. 
All they do is yell into their 

679
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,200
mics. 
It's. 

680
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,960
It's definitely that farming 
content from this. 

681
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:40,720
Yes, I agree and clearly you 
have you have some opinions, 

682
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:41,600
some. 
Opinions. 

683
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,760
Some really, I just don't watch.
I just mute and block all of 

684
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,680
that. 
I don't ever see it. 

685
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:47,720
I only read. 
The only reason I know it 

686
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,440
existed is because Towelie 
tweeted about it. 

687
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,200
Yeah. 
Yeah, this is again, this is 

688
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,360
this is definitely informative 
of your opinions of it. 

689
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:07,480
But yes, there was a raid 
organized to go and just as they

690
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,040
were raiding, there was AD Dos 
attack, huge hit. 

691
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,720
This was on Sunday. 
It affected not just classic 

692
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,320
hardcore servers, but also 
affected all of Warcraft 

693
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,960
servers. 
I was in a Mythic plus on at the

694
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,400
time when it happened and 
obviously we didn't time that 

695
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,600
key. 
It took us way too long to get 

696
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,440
get back in. 
I didn't didn't need a res 

697
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,360
because it's retail and I don't 
require that, but it affected 

698
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,600
many, many players. 
Blizzard had said that this was 

699
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,200
a one of the biggest, if not the
biggest ones. 

700
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,760
In fact, Kyvax went to the 
forums and called it an 

701
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:01,880
unprecedented DDoS attacks that 
it affected their game services.

702
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:10,880
And so they made the decision 
that they were going to 

703
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:18,400
resurrect some of the sorry many
if not all of the characters, 

704
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,320
right? 
And they stress that they may 

705
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,920
elect in the future, but it is 
at the sole discretion of 

706
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,880
Blizzard to make that 
resurrection right? 

707
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,800
And they will consider it in the
event of AD DOS attack. 

708
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,920
This is not, hey, my Internet 
failed, I had a blackout. 

709
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,440
This restore my character 
because it is part of it where 

710
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,160
it's like, yes, these things can
happen. 

711
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,080
They might be outside of your 
control, but we are not 

712
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,880
obligated to resurrect your 
characters. 

713
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:03,320
And it has to go with the way 
that you approach hardcore, 

714
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,080
right? 
Like you have to be willing to 

715
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,560
let that go. 
And I know the screams and 

716
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,880
reactions of the only Fan Fangs 
guildies there's. 

717
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,040
Also quite a few screams and 
reactions and only fans. 

718
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,000
Sorry, I should have said that. 
I should have said that. 

719
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:24,960
I'm sorry. 
There's like then I could watch.

720
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,280
They're maybe he's. 
Going to throw away this 

721
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,680
episode. 
They're there for the content. 

722
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,440
They are there for the content, 
right? 

723
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,880
And that they they lean into it 
more. 

724
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:41,240
But I think that if you're 
playing hardcore, like you can't

725
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:43,120
be attached to that. 
It's just like, hey, I made it 

726
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,640
this long, I made it this far. 
That's the thing and it goes. 

727
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,960
It's why I don't play hardcore 
because I would hate to go 

728
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,200
through that experience again. 
I just, I'm not a classic 

729
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,960
leveller period. 
I barely like levelling on 

730
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:02,320
retail as it is. 
What about you guys? 

731
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,920
Has hardcore ever appealed to 
you? 

732
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,160
I, I, I fully don't believe I'd 
make it past like level 10. 

733
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:14,720
I am very stupid, and I jump off
many things and I pull very 

734
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:19,120
large groups. 
Yeah, I mean, that sounds like 

735
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,560
devastating and heartbreaking to
me, the idea that, you know, 

736
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,600
like my game could bug and I 
could lose the character 

737
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,800
forever. 
But that's why I don't play 

738
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,800
hardcore. 
So no, it does not. 

739
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:37,120
Appeal to me at all, John. 
I loved vanilla Wow and I 

740
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,840
thought it was a great time when
I played it, but I also loved 

741
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,960
other things like not having a 
cell phone when I was a kid and 

742
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:51,400
not having bills and, you know, 
vehicles without heated seats 

743
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,280
and they're. 
I'm not going back to that 

744
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,880
though. 
Like I the quality of life 

745
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,320
changes that have been made in 
the game. 

746
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,000
I went back and tried to, I even
tried to play Season of 

747
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:06,760
Discovery and I hate it. 
I hate it. 

748
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,080
The leveling is so slow. 
It's so frustrating and there is

749
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,280
zero chance I would play a game 
mode like I play RPGs on easy. 

750
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,080
There is zero chance I'm playing
a game mode where one death 

751
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,400
means I have to delete that 
character and start over. 

752
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,520
I there's a a running joke in my
EU Guild that even the most 

753
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,200
minor of inconveniences is 
enough to make me quit. 

754
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,200
And I, I promise you that would 
that would qualify, yeah. 

755
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:39,680
You'd play hardcore. 
Hardcore. 

756
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,120
When one of your characters 
dies, you no longer play World 

757
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,920
of Warcraft ever again. 
Quit the game. 

758
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,520
Yeah, I quit Warcraft. 
I almost cancelled my trip to 

759
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:55,040
LFG because I have to install 
some cockamamie app on my phone 

760
00:44:55,480 --> 00:45:02,040
so that I can pay 1010 lbs to 
the UK so I can get a a digital 

761
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,880
travel pass to say that I can 
come visit for a week. 

762
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:10,480
And I was like no, no thanks, 
I'm good. 

763
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,560
They're like just to sell the 
app and send them a picture of 

764
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:21,880
your your ID like or F that. 
OK, understandable. 

765
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,480
Yeah, well, not. 
That's reasonable, I think. 

766
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,680
Understandable. 
Is a reasonable. 

767
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,560
Reaction to needing to uninstall
an app. 

768
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,640
I've been there so many times. 
Yeah, like, I, I think it's 

769
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,840
funny because sometimes it's the
smallest annoyances that sting 

770
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,840
the most. 
Like if if it's a big enough 

771
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,440
problem, I'm like, OK, and roll 
up my sleeves and I'll get to 

772
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,560
it. 
If it is a small nagging thing 

773
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,880
that might set me off more than 
anything else. 

774
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,480
Yeah, like it. 
Which is a weird inverse. 

775
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,280
I went to the website, like I 
went to the website and it was 

776
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,160
like, go, go here to learn about
which countries need them. 

777
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,080
It's spoiler, it's all 
countries. 

778
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,680
If you're not in the UK, you 
don't live. 

779
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,520
If you're AUK citizen, it's all 
of them. 

780
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,640
So I was like, OK, fine. 
Well let me just sign up for it 

781
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,840
here. 
I have all my information on my 

782
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,680
computer anyway I can just 
upload it And it was like sign 

783
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,840
up via the app is faster. 
Would you like to do that? 

784
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,520
I'm like, no, I want to sign up 
on the website. 

785
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,680
So I clicked sign up on the 
website and the next page is 

786
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,200
like you need a cell phone to 
sign up on the app like why do? 

787
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,120
You even give me the option. 
And I'm an only fangs creator. 

788
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,320
I'm an only fangs. 
This is how only fangs happens. 

789
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:33,440
Only fangs happen. 
OK, well, so we just. 

790
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,520
Created international fraud. 
We I sent the information to one

791
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,440
of the guys in the UK and they 
just filled it out for me. 

792
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:47,520
Oh dear God. 
Well, at one point, because of 

793
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,960
all this, there were rumors that
only Fangs was going to just 

794
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,080
utterly disband because they had
just reached that point. 

795
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,080
I Who will do the screaming 
then? 

796
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,920
Let's move on to other content 
and continue screaming on other 

797
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,840
content. 
I know that the developers were 

798
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,040
even taking to social media 
saying like how stressful it was

799
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:19,040
because of the like size and, 
and and just impact of this this

800
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:25,840
DDoS attack. 
I know that Blizzard is not and 

801
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,280
this is part of the discussion 
that happened in the fast 

802
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,120
discord. 
Blizzard is not going to put out

803
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,480
specifics about like where their
guidance is or what will cause 

804
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:40,200
them to take such action again. 
And part of the reason is just 

805
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,600
because you don't want to put 
that information out there, 

806
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:49,440
which will cause actors to then 
be like, OK, like I'll go close 

807
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,080
to the limit, but not to the 
limit. 

808
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:56,400
Or in some cases, go to that, go
to that limit to cause 

809
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,600
themselves to get the 
resurrection. 

810
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,960
Like if such a thing, if 
somebody wanted to go to that 

811
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,560
point, and for those of you who 
are saying, Oh yeah, nobody 

812
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:11,960
would go to that point, we have 
people who are attacking people 

813
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,040
that they never met over the 
Internet for no good reason 

814
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,720
other than like vindictiveness 
to make their own kind of 

815
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:22,960
content. 
Was it Pirate Software's team? 

816
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,400
Did they do the DS to get back 
at only? 

817
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,760
Thanks for kicking him out of 
the Guild. 

818
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,680
I don't know. 
Any of these words? 

819
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,680
You know these words, you just 
don't know what they mean in 

820
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:35,480
this context. 
That's true. 

821
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,800
That's true. 
I do certainly know what they 

822
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,920
what they and I. 
I'm feeling like I frankly is 

823
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,120
almost making me want to because
I love a good drama. 

824
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,280
This is why I watch reality. 
TVI love. 

825
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,840
A little. 
I love when people are 

826
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,320
ridiculous. 
It makes me very happy. 

827
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,360
It makes me feel. 
Better you need to go back and 

828
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,680
look into the the pirate 
software Roach out start there 

829
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,800
follow it straight through and 
then we'll start the rumor now 

830
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,240
that it was pirate software 
viewers who launched the DDoS 

831
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:03,360
attack against only fangs as a 
way to get back at them for 

832
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,560
kicking him out of the Guild 
and. 

833
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,080
It's so sad that that could 
happen because of the 

834
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,960
demographic of Pirate Software's
viewership. 

835
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,040
Like they would be the straw. 
Anyways, that is too far down 

836
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,560
the rabbit hole for this I'm. 
Going to send this tweet and 

837
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:20,640
watch my account blow up. 
Oh. 

838
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,160
My goodness, please. 
No, it's good and all all 

839
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,360
publicity is good. 
Publicity tag for Azeroth be 

840
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:36,600
like for Azeroth confirmed. 
But we're still seeing a lot of 

841
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:41,920
a lot of stuff coming for 11 
point 1.5, so hopefully that'll 

842
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,840
give us better content than this
drama. 

843
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,200
But unless you guys have 
anything further to talk about, 

844
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:50,800
I think we'll call it a show 
there. 

845
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,520
No, I got nothing else. 
I missed you guys last week. 

846
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,440
Thanks for a good show. 
Missed you too buddy, glad 

847
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,360
you're here. 
Yeah, and next week? 

848
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,760
Glad that you're feeling better.
Listeners, I want you to know my

849
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,280
energy levels might seem a 
little low this week, but it's 

850
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,240
because I'm just coming to terms
of the fact that I'm going to 

851
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:11,920
have to quit Warcraft because 
it's not fun and the game sucks.

852
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,600
I'm sorry babe, but once that's 
that's a joke, that's a joke. 

853
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,560
That's a joke. 
Oh my goodness. 

854
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:19,880
That's a joke. 
All right. 

855
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,760
One thing before we go actually 
is for I, I don't know when 

856
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,240
manny's going to post this, but 
if it's before 1:00 tomorrow, 

857
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,320
1:00 ESTI think it's 1:00 EST. 
If it's not, I'm going to tell a

858
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,800
lie on this. 
If when the Blizzard Boston 

859
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,160
tickets go live. 
Wish me luck and. 

860
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,520
Is this still happening in 
America? 

861
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:45,720
Yeah, allegedly and if any of 
you hopefully I'll be there, 

862
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,480
fingers very crossed and I'd 
love to meet people and if not, 

863
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:50,760
I'll probably be at PAX that 
day. 

864
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,120
I'm gonna probably get packs 
that day either way, so hope to 

865
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,120
see people. 
Best of luck with the ticket 

866
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,640
gods. 
There you go, and whatever you 

867
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,040
do, just make sure you come up 
to her and ask her a million 

868
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,360
questions about priests. 
Not would Demon Hunter priest. 

869
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,080
Specifically, it's like like in 
a church like be like, what's 

870
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:15,360
the 5th? 
I don't Matthew 512 quote it. 

871
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,480
The 1st and people that come up 
to Lex and say FAZ is my 

872
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,560
favorite podcast get a full 15 
second embrace. 

873
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,520
The 2nd 10 people that come up 
and say that get a slap in the 

874
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,520
face and she will not tell you 
which number you are when you 

875
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,760
arrive. 
I do have some big dreams of 

876
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,080
doing like. 
Somebody ahead of you? 

877
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,600
Recording thing, I don't know if
that'll actually happen, but 

878
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,200
there's a chance I'll be doing a
little a little something 

879
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:45,360
something we'll. 
See, that'll be cool to. 

880
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,640
See only Fangs recording. 
Yeah, exactly. 

881
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,360
Like that's what I'm. 
Looking for I'm just going to go

882
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,720
in there and scream, see how 
long it takes until they kick me

883
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,080
out. 
Yes, yeah, changing her name to 

884
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:06,480
Lex One. 
Until next time guys, may all 

885
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:07,520
your hits be crits.
