1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,880
Manny I I I adore you, but your 
Venari impression is not very 

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,440
good. 
No, no, it is I. 

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,520
Want you to know, don't enter 
any Venari impression contest. 

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,200
For Lorderon. 
For the Karen tour for. 

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:21,640
Pandaria. 
For. 

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,560
Calendar to the. 
Burning region for Gilnaeus but 

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:34,600
has not died, for the Lich King,
for the Sindora, for the 

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,520
Alliance, for the Horn, for 
Azeroth. 

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,320
Hello and welcome back to 
another episode of For Azeroth. 

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,280
I am one of your hosts, the 
Truva Manny AKA Manny, and I am 

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,800
joined by returning Lex. 
Lex, how are you and how has the

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760
weeks of World of Warcraft been 
treating you? 

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,320
How has 11.2 landed for you? 
It's been really fun. 

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,840
I've been having a really good 
time with it. 

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,240
I do feel a little overwhelmed 
just by the sheer number of 

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,120
things to do. 
Like I still haven't really 

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,680
gotten my teeth in phase diving,
so it feels like there's some 

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,080
things that I kind of need to 
figure out before I officially 

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,760
say that I am. 
I'm grounded in 11.2, but I'm 

20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
having a lot of fun. 
I was. 

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,680
I was not playing a ton last 
week, which is why I was out. 

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,840
I had my parents over and now my
house has been painted and my 

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,920
dog learned that she likes the 
taste of drywall. 

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,360
But it was very fun and now I am
back and I'm actually playing 

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,440
and I'm ready for raid tomorrow.
I've done most of I've done the 

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,760
whole storyline from last week 
and most of the storyline from 

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,000
this week and we're getting into
it. 

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,840
OK. 
And then somebody else who might

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,640
be having a overwhelming week, 
we have Sean. 

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840
Hello, Sean. 
Mr. Cartridge Rose, how are you?

31
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,520
Hi Manny. 
I'm doing pretty good. 

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,840
I'm doing pretty good. 
War Craftsman treating me well. 

33
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,840
Been a busy week. 
It's Wednesday. 

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,759
I feel like it's Friday. 
Tuesday we had the NA reset 

35
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,360
obviously blasted through the 
campaign quests and then did a 

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,560
bunch of M plus. 
Almost got KSM on the first day.

37
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Then we did normal raid clear 
with the Guild and a cheeky 

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,200
little 20 stack LFR. 
And it's not scummy. 

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200
If one of us doesn't need the 
piece that we win, we give it to

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,960
the people that are not in the 
Guild that are with us. 

41
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,080
And today was my first ever race
to world. 

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,240
First casting session on the 
desk for method and I had a six 

43
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,560
hour shift today. 
Long shift. 

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,120
Pretty tired, Pretty tired. 
Now you, you were a natural. 

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,160
I got to say I I tuned in for 
for for part of it. 

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,320
I was actually surprised. 
And I guess we should do like a 

47
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,800
sort of currently what's up with
the race to world first as far 

48
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,920
as as far as the big guilds are 
going, they're doing their same 

49
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,480
thing. 
For people who don't tune into 

50
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,080
the race to world first, it 
often starts where you know, 

51
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,520
you're doing your splits, you're
doing your farms, you're getting

52
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,040
ready to dive in so you can make
that impact. 

53
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,000
But while the big guilds are 
normally doing that, we also 

54
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,920
usually have some other guilds 
that aren't really there to like

55
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,560
claim the full title, still 
getting some early kills. 

56
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,160
We normally see some some of 
those guilds that want to get 

57
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,200
put their names out there 
killing off like the first two 

58
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,440
or three bosses early in the 
race. 

59
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,760
And I haven't seen that this 
tear at this point. 

60
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
I was actually a little 
surprised because I because I 

61
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,600
was like, oh, well, you know 
what? 

62
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,320
I'm probably just not paying 
attention. 

63
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,600
And then I went over to like the
usual suspects to track race 

64
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,800
progression. 
So of course Raider IO among 

65
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,480
others. 
And that leaderboard is blank 

66
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440
the last time I checked. 
John, am I? 

67
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,520
Am I smoking something? 
Nope, there is no mythic kills 

68
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,520
as of recording. 
So 7:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time

69
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,800
there is no mythic kills. 
The best pull on plexus Sentinel

70
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,720
is 62.1% from melee mechanics. 
They did 9 polls on Tuesday. 

71
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,040
The 1st boss has an intermission
that has a shield phase at the 

72
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,520
end of the emission. 
Had to breakthrough the shield 

73
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,960
to stop his cast. 
Ramping damage will kill you. 

74
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,280
His shield alone in that phase 
had more health than some of the

75
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:03,600
bosses in heroic. 
So Mailer mechanics who are the 

76
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,520
team that took first kill for 
both Nurbar Palace and 

77
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Liberation of Undermine did 9 
Poles realized OK this isn't 

78
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,040
going to be it. 
We need to be better spending 

79
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,480
our time in some splits and they
jumped over to do splits. 

80
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:26,120
So auspicious start to the race.
On top of that, we've seen 

81
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,160
people like tearing through 
normal. 

82
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,840
I know a lot of people haven't 
really had a chance because 

83
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,720
we're literally on day 2 for NA 
and day one for EU. 

84
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,520
So we're not going to go into 
spoilers here. 

85
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,440
We're not we're not going to go.
It's too deep in that. 

86
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,920
If you want some early 
impressions, Sean and I talked 

87
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,840
about our testing on the PTR. 
So if you want to know like more

88
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:53,440
about the bosses, go ahead and 
look back at those episodes. 

89
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:02,360
But I think that what we saw in 
Liberation of Under Undermine is

90
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,840
sort of playing out again here, 
where normal seems to be quite 

91
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,800
accessible. 
The step up to heroic is quite 

92
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,360
the step up and the step up to 
mythic apparently is another 

93
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,360
magnitude altogether as well. 
So they have definitely 

94
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,280
separated those those 
difficulties in this tear from 

95
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,920
what I what I've been seeing. 
And based on the race, the world

96
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,720
first so far, I would say that 
seems to be the case. 

97
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,520
Lex, we were saying before the 
episode, you haven't had a 

98
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,240
chance to really jump in. 
Sean, your team I believe, start

99
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,840
raids Thursday. 
Yeah, we haven't. 

100
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,560
So NA we have an optional night 
on Tuesday which we cleared 

101
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,360
normal and then EU and NA both 
raid Thursdays. 

102
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,360
So it'll be normal for my EU 
team, heroic for my NA team? 

103
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,080
There you go. 
That's going to be a busy day 

104
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,960
for you. 
So again, we're going to give 

105
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,400
our full impressions on a later 
episode, but good luck to all of

106
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,640
you guys who are rating. 
And that is going to require a 

107
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:22,160
lot of luck because we have seen
actually the Chinese region put 

108
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,840
out a huge bounty for their push
for race to world first. 

109
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,400
China wants the the gold in 
this. 

110
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,040
And so they've put out AI 
believe it is 500,000. 

111
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Sorry, I, I apologize. 
I don't know the currency. 

112
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Yen, I think it is. 
Yen's Japanese. 

113
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Oh well, it looks like a Why it?
Does look like a. 

114
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Why? 
Never mind, I'm not going to try

115
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,480
to guess. 
Yen. 

116
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,360
It's yen. 
I got, I got yelled at. 

117
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,720
No, I got yelled at by Jin last 
time for saying yen. 

118
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,800
It's Yuan. 
I was right. 

119
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,520
That's what I was going to say. 
None of you know that because I 

120
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,880
didn't say it out loud. 
But it's Yuan. 

121
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,960
OK, good, good. 
Shout out to Jin for reminding. 

122
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,200
You Jin Death of Live Laugh 
Floor fame. 

123
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,280
Oh yes, of course, Jin of Live 
Laugh Floor. 

124
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,760
OK, good, good. 
So there you go. 

125
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,880
So that that's quite the push 
and I believe this is still the 

126
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,560
same bounty that they kept 
adding to. 

127
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Yeah, every tier that China does
not finish in, the top three are

128
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,880
going to win. 
The prize pool goes up, the 

129
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,320
bounty goes up from Nettie's. 
This isn't we're not at a dollar

130
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,240
amount yet. 
That makes this like super 

131
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,679
appealing. 
So it's about 70 thousand U.S. 

132
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,400
dollars. 
Obviously the cost of living in 

133
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,360
China is different from the cost
of living in the US. 

134
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,480
So it's not 1:00 to 1:00, but 
that breaks down to about $1700 

135
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,680
per member because you have like
the 20 to 30 man raid roster and

136
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,400
then you're going to have 
anywhere in the range of 10 to 

137
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,840
20 support staff from analysts 
to we core designers to that 

138
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,560
kind of stuff. 
So it's not like a huge payday 

139
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,160
for the raid team. 
You know, people are quick to 

140
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,920
say, oh, 70,000 US divided by 20
Raiders and that's it. 

141
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520
But you're not, that's not you 
would have to pay everybody on 

142
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,080
the team for this. 
So it is, I mean, it's a bigger 

143
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,680
prize pool than you get from 
winning in North America or 

144
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,680
Europe, I guess, although their 
money comes mostly in the form 

145
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,000
of sponsors. 
So yeah, we'll see. 

146
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200
It's China's at a real 
disadvantage because the the 

147
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,240
raid for them doesn't start till
Thursday. 

148
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,160
So everybody talks about the NA 
to EU head start and how NA gets

149
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280
12 to 14 extra hours and how 
unfair that is. 

150
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Well, they get like a day and a 
half over in China. 

151
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,400
So I I don't see a world where a
Chinese team, something drastic 

152
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,760
would have to happen for a 
Chinese team to come in 3rd just

153
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,040
because that that X that day and
a half delay is such a huge 

154
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,080
hurdle to overcome. 
Have we talked about this 

155
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,040
already? 
Do we know why they don't just 

156
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,720
release everything at the same 
time? 

157
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Is it just server load? 
I assume it's because they hate 

158
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,920
fairness. 
That's true. 

159
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,080
I forgot about that. 
I forgot that it was, it was 

160
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320
simply, I mean, to be fair, it 
is an NA company and they're 

161
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,440
like, we're gonna keep winning. 
Yeah, we really like when NA 

162
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,560
wins. 
I mean, there's like a number of

163
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,320
reasons behind it. 1 is that 
like, yes, those server teams 

164
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,280
have to be working at its point 
to like update and do that. 

165
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,400
They're the reset is when their 
reset normally occurs, right? 

166
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,480
So it's not like they're they're
particularly doing it for the 

167
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,200
race the world first where 
they're setting people back. 

168
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,680
It's like no and a is is 
Tuesday, then then Wednesday is 

169
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,760
EU, then Thursday is China. 
Otherwise you're asking them to 

170
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,840
build a a support staff that is 
doing all three of those servers

171
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,320
at the exact same time for no 
financial gain for the company. 

172
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,360
Company that this seems like a 
like, not something a profit 

173
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,640
driven company would do. 
And the race the world first is 

174
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,120
not officially supported by 
Blizzard. 

175
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040
As much as people want to say, 
hey, you guys are catering to 

176
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,680
these rates of old first people,
this is clearly a point where 

177
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,080
they're not. 
But like. 

178
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,160
Final Fantasy 14 releases are 
global and they have data 

179
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,720
centers in all regions. 
And cross region gameplay I 

180
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,240
might add. 
Looking at you, midnight. 

181
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,080
How much later did their servers
come out? 

182
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,120
Their game released I believe 
5-6 years. 

183
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,560
Oh, I'm not sure, I'd have to 
look it up. 

184
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Yeah, yeah, I I think like when 
you're working off of the off of

185
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,400
technology, right and the fact 
that they haven't moved over 

186
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,000
servers, there's there's parts 
of it and like you could make 

187
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,760
that switch. 
It's just that I also don't 

188
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,880
think that like Final Fantasy 
also supports its race to world 

189
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,720
first. 
So if they do like a no they. 

190
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,560
Do Final Fantasy is huge? 
Yeah, Square they. 

191
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,000
Officially support the Race to 
World. 

192
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,880
First, yeah, it's like a massive
thing they do which. 

193
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,560
Realistically it's a little 
silly that Blizzard doesn't 

194
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,760
right like the race the world 
first is AI mean. 

195
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Maybe it's the people don't want
them to like step in and take 

196
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,680
over, but I mean, it's, it's a 
huge it's, it's very much and 

197
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,200
it's a thing they benefit off 
of, right? 

198
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,160
Like it's not like the Blizzard 
team doesn't acknowledge the 

199
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,680
existence of the race to world 
first. 

200
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Oh, I'm sure they like they soft
supported. 

201
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,600
It's definitely they soft 
supported. 

202
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,080
They're talking with the the 
gals. 

203
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,240
They're they invite them to how 
many events where they have like

204
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,800
exhibition matches and stuff, 
but like the specific race to 

205
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,640
world first, who gets who gets 
that first kill. 

206
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,640
The closest that we have from 
Blizzard really is the Hall of 

207
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,960
Fame leaderboards, where it's 
like, OK, yeah, we'll put you in

208
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,040
as like, you killed it first. 
I'm guessing. 

209
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,640
And of course, nurfing their 
bosses so that their players 

210
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:16,640
could get in easier. 
Yeah, I just read that Final 

211
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,320
Fantasy doesn't support the race
because they're terrified of 

212
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,880
promoting somebody who uses an 
add on, so never mind and. 

213
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,400
The final. 
Fantasy, never mind. 

214
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,960
Oh bad. 
But you had said that it works 

215
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:40,680
out to like $17170 per per 
player, but if they do take 

216
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,760
first place for some reason that
is 1.4 million. 

217
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,520
Sorry, yeah. 
One I might be. 

218
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,560
I might. 
Ohh, you know what? 

219
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,680
I might be saying that really 
embarrassingly wrong. 

220
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,240
I didn't even think of that 
possibility. 

221
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,920
OK, that's OK. 
We're we're making a good faith 

222
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,720
attempt. 
Yeah. 

223
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,280
If. 
If you know don't feel free to 

224
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,160
message. 
I would like to know I'd like to

225
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,400
bright broaden my horizons, but 
there is a much larger price of 

226
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:15,000
1.4 million if they take first 
place and that is that what Sean

227
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,800
you're saying is the the long 
haul. 

228
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,240
I think the closest that I've 
seen is like a that in like 

229
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,960
recent memory is 1/5 place 
finish by a Chinese region team 

230
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,360
and I think that was. 
Skyline. 

231
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400
Yeah, Skyline, which I think is 
dissolved since then. 

232
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Yeah, there's no, there's just 
no. 

233
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,560
You can't start a race a day and
a half late and expect to have 

234
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,800
any shot at winning it. 
It's just not possible. 

235
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,400
Yeah, yeah, they the teams are 
so crazy organized and it is a 

236
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,480
it is a strange thing because 
you need a machine that is 

237
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,680
running behind you like these 
world first guilds. 

238
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:03,800
They have not only like the 
analysts and the like weak, weak

239
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,160
or in like coders that are like 
that are building the stuff that

240
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,800
they need as they analyze the 
fight and the players, but they 

241
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,360
have like an entire machine that
is like getting them the mats 

242
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040
and the resources for the stuff 
that they they need. 

243
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,640
Organizing splits with people 
all over like the region now, 

244
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:31,000
because like it's regional at 
this point, there is a big step 

245
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,920
up from being even in like a 
like doing really well, getting 

246
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,200
cutting edge Hall of Fame every 
every tier and being in that 

247
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,800
race to world first. 
And that is I guess something 

248
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,160
that maybe we can talk about on 
a different episode. 

249
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,520
But it it it requires A literal 
infrastructure to be in that 

250
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,840
race. 
And you're right, that day and 

251
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,840
1/2 is crushing when you've got 
a machine that is starting up 

252
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:07,920
that much later. 
But moving from the race to 

253
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:14,960
world first to us casual 
players, we've got something big

254
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:24,760
on the on the horizon and that 
is my attempt to get a Deathless

255
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,280
Tazewesh run because that's way 
off the horizon. 

256
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,440
I don't expect that I'll be 
getting that this week. 

257
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200
Sean, are you going to attempt 
to do a Deathless Tazewesh run 

258
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,880
this week? 
Yeah, we should be able to get 

259
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,800
one of these done Saturday or 
Sunday. 

260
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,200
I imagine at that point we will 
have done probably six of eight 

261
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,000
heroic, if not the full raid and
lots of mythic plus. 

262
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,160
Lots and lots of mythic Plus. 
We're already doing 10's and 

263
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,440
elevens now, so all of our gear 
drops are at seven O 1. 

264
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,960
So we should be able to get a 
deathless run in by the weekend,

265
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Monday at the latest. 
But even if you don't get one 

266
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,640
in, it's still worth doing the 
hard mode, especially if you're 

267
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,359
not regularly timing 10s because
all of the loot drops at one O 6

268
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,960
heroic in the hard mode. 
And I'm pretty sure yeah, the 

269
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,440
completion of it counts as if 
you ran a + 10. 

270
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,599
So even if it takes you 2 hours,
it still gives you a + 10 in 

271
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,839
your vault, which guarantees you
a mythic piece next week. 

272
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,240
So if you're somebody who, if 
you're, you know an individual 

273
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,400
or a team or group who, who 
isn't successfully doing 10s or 

274
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,000
can't get into plus 10s or 
you're struggling to get that 

275
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,920
level, get 5 or 4 friends 
together and run the Tasmvesh 

276
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,960
hard mode. 
Even if you die, finish it 

277
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,600
because it'll count in your 
vault and then you'll get. 

278
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,600
If you don't time it, you'll get
a nine out of your vault and 

279
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,640
you're that much closer to to 
pushing back into 10s. 

280
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,600
OK. 
It's big worth, big worth to do 

281
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,040
this dungeon. 
All right. 

282
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:04,200
Well with with that in mind, 
Lex, has hard bone tazewesh been

283
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,640
on your radar or does this make 
it more enticing to you? 

284
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,280
So the deathless one, as I was 
reading that article, I could 

285
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,240
feel my heart rate go up and I 
was like, that's going to be 

286
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,720
really fun for Sean and Manny. 
They're going to have a great 

287
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,600
time fighting for that. 
Best of luck. 

288
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,360
I will not be trying to 
deathless Tazewesh. 

289
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,160
However, I so I haven't just 
because realistically I've only 

290
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,920
been playing 11.2 for like the 
past like days or so. 

291
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,160
I haven't dug much into anything
but I really want to. 

292
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,040
I think that two seasons ago I 
jumped in really feet first in 

293
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,440
dungeons and I kind of scared 
myself and, and pushed a little 

294
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,960
hard and I needed to back off. 
Last season. 

295
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,280
I think I, I in fact I know I 
did 0 mythic and I think that 

296
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,080
was kind of the opposite. 
I just, I, I ended up feeling 

297
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,600
really stagnant and like I 
didn't have much to do and I, I 

298
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,440
couldn't really catch up. 
So I'm hoping that we're going 

299
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,680
to find a nice little middle 
ground where I'm doing some 

300
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,600
dungeons and I'm not pushing so 
hard that I'm freaking myself 

301
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,320
out. 
But I'm also not, you know, just

302
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,920
utterly delving it only and 
calling it a day. 

303
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,640
So I do, I, I'm really excited 
to get into Tazewash. 

304
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,400
And I also wasn't really doing 
dungeons when Tazewash was, came

305
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,280
out originally. 
I don't think I've done a full 

306
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Tazewash run other than the cute
little bits. 

307
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,600
So I'm excited. 
I really want to do it. 

308
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,560
I think that's gonna be fun. 
I don't know that I'll jump 

309
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,000
right into hard mode for all the
reasons that I'm scared of 

310
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Mythic Plus, but I'm excited to 
to get into it and, and play 

311
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,600
and, and see how it goes and 
have a little fun. 

312
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,480
But no, I will not be doing 
Deathless. 

313
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,040
I will cry if somebody says 
we're going to try to do this on

314
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,480
Deathless and I'll die 
immediately. 

315
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,400
So they don't can't do that. 
Not really, not really. 

316
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,200
I wouldn't sabotage my friends 
if I'm not a jerk. 

317
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,240
Well, people who had anxiety 
because they were afraid that 

318
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,640
Lex or one of their friends 
would sabotage had a lot to say 

319
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,800
about this. 
There was complaints that like, 

320
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,400
hey, people are going to grieve 
Blizzard. 

321
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,600
This is insane because like, I 
don't want to be held hostage. 

322
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,480
And Blizzard has sort of 
addressed part of it. 

323
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:14,920
At the beginning of the the 
dungeon, you're on the dock 

324
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,520
just. 
We haven't really explained the 

325
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,480
deathless Todds the restaurant, 
have we? 

326
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,400
No, no, I'm going about to jump 
into that. 

327
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,920
Yeah, sorry. 
So yeah, at the beginning 

328
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,440
there's like the dock that 
overseas, overseas like the 

329
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,840
boundless beyond or whatever. 
And so it would be easy for 

330
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,200
somebody to jump off and grief a
group, especially before you put

331
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,800
in the key, just just to screw 
you over. 

332
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,160
Like let's say you're doing a 
Mythic plus run and you're like,

333
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,840
yeah, no, we're just want to put
input in a key. 

334
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,720
Somebody screwing over your 
Mythic 0 hard mode run like that

335
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960
would be bad. 
So people were really concerned 

336
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,520
about this. 
And that's because the way that 

337
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,120
this works is that at the 
beginning of each week you will 

338
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:06,240
have a buff, and that buff is 
called the Smart Street buff. 

339
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,600
That buff goes away as soon as 
you die in Tazewash. 

340
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:18,440
If you complete the run without 
without anybody dying, you get 

341
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,960
that bonus. 
In chess that is a guaranteed 

342
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:29,440
mythic loot and that is 5. 
Pieces of everybody gets a piece

343
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080
of mythic loot. 
Everybody gets a piece of mythic

344
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,080
loot that's you don't have to 
wait for your vault. 

345
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,400
You get a piece of a mythic 
loot, which is amazing and very,

346
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,160
very much something that it can 
entice people. 

347
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:49,840
But yeah, if anybody loses their
buff, then the run fails and has

348
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,320
to be done in your first attempt
of the week. 

349
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,560
You can't reset and go back into
it. 

350
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,080
So what? 
There was a lot of stress 

351
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:03,960
involved involved with this. 
There were people who were 

352
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,920
saying like oh what if somebody 
exploits me? 

353
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,120
Is this why they needed the ban,
the ban or sorry the vote kick 

354
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:14,400
system. 
But this doesn't help with the 

355
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,400
because the even if you vote 
kick and disband the group, that

356
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,720
is still your first attempt. 
There hasn't been any, any 

357
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,480
confirmation from the article 
that I was reading on Wowhead 

358
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,120
about if you're doing your first
attempt, let's say three people 

359
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,120
are doing their first attempt, 
two people are not doing their 

360
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,840
first attempt. 
And so three people have the 

361
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,240
buff and two people don't What 
the what that winds up being. 

362
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:47,360
But honestly, I I like that 
there are there, there's the 

363
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:53,320
ability to do these like 
challenging non time things. 

364
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,720
A lot of people get anxiety just
from a timer or don't like the 

365
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,640
rush, rush, rush thing. 
This is a different way of 

366
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,680
challenging. 
Challenging players like being 

367
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,680
very strategic and careful with 
your polls and like trying to be

368
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,160
like, even if you're like lower 
your defense just to like, 

369
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,400
sorry, lower your damage just to
be a little bit more defensive. 

370
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,440
You could you could do this in a
completely different manner. 

371
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,160
What was it in Dragonflight 
where you would do hard mode? 

372
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,480
Dawn of the Infinites, Dawn of 
the Infinites. 

373
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,240
Yeah, right. 
That was that was the same. 

374
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080
Right where? 
Yeah, you only had one shot each

375
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,000
week. 
No, no. 

376
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,320
No, there's something different 
about it. 

377
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,360
I'm just forgetting what it was.
No, I do think you only had one 

378
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:46,280
shot each week because I 
remember we did it once and we 

379
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,280
got to the end and somebody 
died. 

380
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,000
You still couldn't die. 
It had to be deathless. 

381
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,600
We had somebody die with 3% left
in the last boss and it cost us 

382
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,720
our attempt and we didn't do it 
again. 

383
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320
So I'm pretty sure it was once a
week. 

384
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,040
Yeah, and I think it was just in
the .5 patch before it went into

385
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:13,160
rotation. 
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. 

386
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Yeah. 
Before before it became Mythic 

387
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,880
plus. 
Before it became mythic, mythic 

388
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,840
plus. 
So it's not like this hasn't 

389
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,800
been done before. 
So I'm I'm a little bit baffled 

390
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,240
that people were so up in arms 
about it. 

391
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840
I think it's because this is 
such, this is a much bigger 

392
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,000
power game. 
So Dawn of the Infinites was 

393
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,360
Mythic 0, and I think you were 
guaranteeing it wasn't everybody

394
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,440
got a piece. 
It was it was just their normal 

395
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,000
end of dungeon piece and it was 
only from the last boss. 

396
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,640
This can be, this is a 
guaranteed Myth track piece to 

397
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200
everybody in the party, and it 
could be any piece from any 

398
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,240
boss. 
And there are multiple trinkets 

399
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,880
in this dungeon specifically 
that are quite good for people. 

400
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Well, it also the beginning of a
patch is hugely different than a

401
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,720
.5, right? 
Like just at that .5, a lot of 

402
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,320
people have kind of checked out.
Yeah. 

403
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,440
And we don't care if, like 
you're getting, you're thrown at

404
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,760
you anyway. 
Exactly. 

405
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,280
I, I think people are upset. 
I, I mean, I can't speak for 

406
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,040
certain because I, I'm 
personally upset. 

407
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,040
I don't care. 
But I think one of the issues 

408
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:24,400
was that for teams that are 
fighting for those early kills, 

409
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,440
falling behind on this is a 
massive power loss to your raid 

410
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,400
team. 
If you have a a 20 man raid team

411
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,320
and you don't time this every 
week, that's 20 pieces of mythic

412
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,520
year you're behind from a team 
who does time it with their 

413
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,240
whole team. 
So that is 1 issue. 

414
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720
Also the anxiety issue of you 
know what if you're the one who 

415
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,520
causes the death, even if you're
playing with friends, you're 

416
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,000
still going to feel terrible 
afterwards. 

417
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Even if they tell you it doesn't
matter, you're still going to 

418
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,680
feel bad. 
You know, I'm for some people 

419
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,240
that is worse than a lot of 
things. 

420
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,000
OK. 
Sorry, before you jump into 

421
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,560
more, I do want to sort of like 
talk about both of those points 

422
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,400
because I think that they're 
ugly valid points, but they're 

423
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,360
points that exist in the game 
anyways. 

424
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:16,960
Like if you are the person who 
causes like the .3% wipe, not on

425
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,920
the specific example of the Dawn
of the Infinite, but like, let's

426
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,520
just say it's, it's a Prague 
boss and you're about to, and 

427
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,280
you're like, oh man, we're about
to like kill, get AOTC or we're 

428
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,200
about to kill like this. 
The normal boss, like day 2 and 

429
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,600
you're about to kill normal boss
and you get a, you got to wipe 

430
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,880
that like, oh man, I, I blanked 
and, and everything you're going

431
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,400
to feel bad. 
Like this is a magnitude more 

432
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,120
because of the loss of the 
opportunity. 

433
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,480
I mean, that's for the teams 
that. 

434
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,840
But it's it's it's literally 1 
not no other source of gear is. 

435
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,480
You can try once a week. 
If you wipe on the boss for as 

436
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,400
you see you just pull again. 
If you break a key, you just go 

437
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,480
again. 
And it's also not like just well

438
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,120
I screwed up so like I can't do 
this again all like my 4 buddies

439
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,920
who are playing this perfectly 
and made zero mistakes are also 

440
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,720
screwed for the entire week. 
Yeah, but like, your four 

441
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,320
buddies made zero mistakes and 
you made one mistake. 

442
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,720
And like, it's just, it feels so
binary. 

443
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080
And I get that. 
Like that's like such a binary 

444
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,280
thing for the teams that are 
like really caring about the 

445
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,960
gear right now. 
Like if you don't get this every

446
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,000
week you are falling behind. 
That's the competitiveness of it

447
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,800
in my opinion. 
Like I don't think it would have

448
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:48,640
any effect on the race if you 
could make unlimited amount of 

449
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,480
attempts and as long as you can 
do 1 deathless run in the week, 

450
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,840
you get it right. 
Because then in general, I think

451
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,560
people would just do what 
they're doing already, which is 

452
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,560
doing stuff ahead to make sure 
that they're comfortably geared 

453
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,600
so that they can comfortably get
this right. 

454
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,960
If they were making attempts 
earlier, even even when they're 

455
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,200
like quote on the bench, which 
makes it easier for them to 

456
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:21,600
schedule right. 
I I think that this wouldn't 

457
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,960
have the same intrigue like that
tension means something. 

458
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,560
It means something in both ways.
And for like those of us at 

459
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,360
home, the the mere mortals at 
home, right? 

460
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:41,200
If Lex doesn't get this week 1, 
I don't think like that level of

461
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,280
like, Oh man, I'm forever behind
effects you as much. 

462
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,840
And I don't think it affects me 
that that that much. 

463
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,520
Sure, but. 
I think you got to be at your 

464
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,120
level, Sean or higher for it, 
for like it the I'm falling 

465
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,520
behind FOMO to really start 
kicking in. 

466
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,920
Yeah, but that I mean, that's 
that's a massive amount of 

467
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,040
guilds. 
It's like 500 guilds of people, 

468
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,520
right for that where that 
matters, that makes a difference

469
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,560
like that. 
And I wasn't talking race to a 

470
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,720
first level when I said you're. 
I was talking like the Hall of 

471
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,080
Fame to you know, that anywhere,
anywhere from from from like 25 

472
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,880
to 500 and even above, like 
there are people who are in 

473
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,360
lower ranked guilds who like to 
push mythic plus itself on, you 

474
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,320
know, with a group. 
If you're in a group that pushes

475
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,080
mythic plus and you don't time 
this even one week, it doesn't 

476
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,880
have to be the first week. 
If any week you make a mistake, 

477
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,240
you're now forever behind that 
piece of mythic loot. 

478
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:47,800
So and I just think it's harsh 
because it's the only content 

479
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,680
that doesn't allow multiple 
tries. 

480
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,520
Everything else you can try 
again, but this is this is 

481
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,160
overly, I think it's overly 
punishing. 

482
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,680
I think the more I'm thinking 
about this, I think it should 

483
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,720
not have dropped with hash 
because I, I, I kind of agree 

484
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,480
with Manny that like the the 
point, the reason it's exciting 

485
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,920
is that it is limited and it is 
hard to access. 

486
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,920
And I think overwhelmingly 
there's some degree of like, you

487
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,680
know, I'm not personally super 
worried about the race world 

488
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,760
first folks because they're the 
best in the world. 

489
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,560
And so I, I, I could be wrong. 
I doubt that they're going to 

490
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,480
have a lot of failed deathless 
hard mode Tazewash if they're 

491
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,920
going into it prepped and ready.
I but obviously humans make 

492
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,000
mistakes and video games are 
like errors happen. 

493
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,960
I'm not saying that it's 
impossible, but I I'm not super 

494
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,080
worried about them. 
I'm also honestly not super 

495
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,040
worried about people at like, 
you know, high level to mid 

496
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,960
casual like or like true casuals
like me, because I feel like 

497
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,840
we're pretty good at reading 
like we we can read our own 

498
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,040
vibes, right? 
Like I'm just going to like I 

499
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,240
will say to my entire group, I'm
not touching that. 

500
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,480
Like if you guys want to try 
your hard mode, deathless Todd 

501
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,040
Todd Savesh, please do it before
you play with me. 

502
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,440
I will not. 
I'm not going to engage with 

503
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,720
that because I know that I would
be the like I I I stopped 

504
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,760
playing mythic because I had one
really bad M plus, because I had

505
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,080
one really bad era Cara run. 
I would be devastated if I was 

506
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,800
trying this. 
So, like I I just step out of 

507
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,760
it, right? 
For or you're like, I know this 

508
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,280
group of friends, like, yeah, 
I'm going to feel bad, but like 

509
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,280
it'll be whatever, right? 
We we know how to like laugh it 

510
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,360
off and keep playing. 
I do think though, because right

511
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,840
now it's so like loot is not 
easy to get, especially in 

512
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,400
mythic loot and the people who 
are pushing are pushing for a 

513
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,400
thing. 
I think having that time 

514
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,960
limited, like I think this 
should have this shouldn't have 

515
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280
dropped at least until the end 
of the race, for example, just 

516
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,000
because I feel like it just it's
a lot of pressure for really 

517
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,680
high reward that isn't really 
catch up able and will be catch 

518
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,520
up able in the future. 
You know, there'll come a point 

519
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,840
that mythic loot will be 
exciting, but not Oh my God, are

520
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,560
you serious? 
I get one promised piece of 

521
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,160
mythic loot or Oh my God, are 
you serious? 

522
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,240
You're the reason that this 
entire five group can't get 

523
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,480
mythic loot. 
I just, I, I do think that it's 

524
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,400
pretty intense for dropping a 
patch. 

525
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,440
Yeah, like Lex you make some 
really good points there. 

526
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:06,080
It is most impactful earlier and
far less impactful later, 

527
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,760
especially as soon as the race 
is done and as more teams 

528
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,480
complete. 
Yeah, like gearing up after 

529
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,840
you've gone through. 
I don't want to say that this is

530
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,840
just a concern for the race to 
Walt first teams, because when I

531
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,040
like use your level or higher, 
Sean as like the words that I 

532
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,360
use, I don't mean to say that 
Sean, you're the you're raceable

533
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,080
first person. 
Like you. 

534
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Are a mythic Raider right who 
hits your your your cutting edge

535
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,680
consistently? 
Like I can't think of the last 

536
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,000
season that you didn't get 
cutting edge, right. 

537
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,080
And we just talked about the 
difference between like race, 

538
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,600
the world first and the people 
in the Hall of the Hall of Fame.

539
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,040
Like it's a, it's a larger 
community that is going to be 

540
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,520
concerned about this than just 
the people you see on like 

541
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,040
Twitch. 
And that I do think that maybe 

542
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:17,680
later on Blizzard could put 
through like a hot fix or 

543
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:25,200
something that's like, hey guys,
now the first 3 attempts, right?

544
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,960
And then later on, now it's the 
first 55 attempts or something 

545
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:34,000
later on as sort of a almost a 
soft nerf to allow people to get

546
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,600
more loot to to get into it and 
like alleviate that and maybe 

547
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,120
make it more appealing to a 
broader audience. 

548
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:48,920
But I do think that the one 
attempt at the beginning is 

549
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,400
somewhat important because this 
can't be another mythic plus 

550
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,040
nearly guaranteed way of getting
loot. 

551
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,280
Like it has to have some form of
tension or otherwise you may as 

552
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,040
well just start looking at like,
Hey, do we want to just have end

553
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,159
to run loot be that level 
anymore or not do it at all. 

554
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,679
Like there's, there's, there's a
very fine line that you have to 

555
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,080
you have to walk for reward 
bounds here. 

556
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,719
I mean I would argue that just 
completing A deathless run is 

557
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,159
probably enough tension. 
It's 9 bosses tuned to the 

558
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,000
difficulty of A + 10 with extra 
mechanics. 

559
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,560
Like it's not mythic 0 health 
pools and that comes with extra 

560
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,600
mechanics that aren't seen in 
mythic plus. 

561
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,320
So you can't even practice it. 
Like there's no I think that's 

562
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,880
the issue is like you can't, 
you're like you just can't 

563
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,360
practice it unless you go on the
PTR and practice it on the PTR 

564
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,639
and like the mechanics change 
from boss to boss. 

565
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,360
So unless you go and watch 
Avada, I don't know. 

566
00:34:52,360 --> 00:35:01,160
I I think like just removing the
once a week I think makes this 

567
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:04,080
probably perfect and it's in its
implementation. 

568
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,520
Leaving the once a week is fine.
You know, the people that are 

569
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,840
like super crazy about it will 
do all the research and wait 

570
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,880
till the last possible second 
when they have the most gear 

571
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,920
this week to try it. 
And then those who brick it or 

572
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,520
who make a mistake, they'll just
be behind. 

573
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,440
They will forever be behind this
season. 

574
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,480
And that, I don't know, that's a
bad feeling for people. 

575
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,280
OK. 
I do want to address forever 

576
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,600
behind, but go ahead Lex. 
Oh, I was going to say, how 

577
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,240
would you just because this 
thing, I'm not turning over in 

578
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:32,800
my head. 
How would you feel if instead of

579
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,960
like loot, it was something like
every week there's a new mount 

580
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,280
or there's one mount that you 
get? 

581
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,720
Like if it was something that 
felt a little bit less like, 

582
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,360
like this is still a big reward,
but it's not devastating if I 

583
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,320
don't. 
It's not like a huge power loss 

584
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,000
if I don't get it. 
I don't personally care about 

585
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,600
mounts so that wouldn't be the 
hook. 

586
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,200
That would be a hook for me and 
I think most mount collectors 

587
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,000
aren't going to be able to 
complete a deathless or ON still

588
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,240
very late in the season. 
Most of them, most, not all. 

589
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,000
There are some mount collectors 
that are exceptional at Mythic 

590
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,200
plus, but I think the majority 
of them are mount collectors for

591
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,360
a reason and it's because they 
don't enjoy Wow. 

592
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:14,720
They don't enjoy that content. 
I, I, I think that mount 

593
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:18,800
collecting is not a direct 
reflection of your, your 

594
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,560
involvement in other areas of 
the game. 

595
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,600
There are people who like love 
making gold but are amazing 

596
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,120
Raiders or people who love 
collecting mounts but are like 

597
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,320
crazy about pet battles. 
Like it's just, it's just 

598
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,840
another vector of interest. 
So I don't think it, it quite 

599
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:37,400
aligns with like your skill or 
love for any other part of the 

600
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,240
game. 
If. 

601
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,080
You're spending 10 hours a day 
farming old raids and 

602
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,000
collecting. 
You're not spending that time 

603
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,760
getting better at current 
content. 

604
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,640
So your skill level, you know 
what I mean? 

605
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,040
Like you, what you practice is 
what you're going to be good at,

606
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,520
you know? 
Sure, but like you can still be 

607
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,160
like really good at it and then 
oh, I got some off time. 

608
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,080
I'll collect. 
You might not have amazing 

609
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:02,800
amount of. 
Balance. 

610
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,560
That's why I said. 
Still be interested in it. 

611
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,360
That I mean, there's a 
difference between. 

612
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,600
I think there's a distinction 
between, you know somebody who 

613
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,560
is a Raider or a mythic plus 
runner who also likes mounts and

614
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,800
a mount collector. 
A mount collector plays the game

615
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960
to collect mounts. 
Someone like yourself plays the 

616
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,680
game for other reasons but also 
happens to collect mounts. 

617
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,600
You know your sole purpose for 
the game isn't mount collecting.

618
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,440
Right, but like I I'm there are 
people who will identify 

619
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,720
themselves as mount collectors. 
You probably do not have as many

620
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:37,000
mounts as as I do, right? 
There are people who will 

621
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:46,280
identify themselves as like 
mount collectors who have 

622
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:52,720
cutting edge and and have like 
pushed deep deeper into the raid

623
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,240
at difficulties that I don't 
even attempt. 

624
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,520
I just, I don't think that the 
two are aligned. 

625
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,400
Like, yes, your time is limited 
and you, you have to put it 

626
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,320
towards something, but there 
are, there are people who are 

627
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,760
just like, better than me at 
like one thing or another and 

628
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,000
therefore don't have to put the 
time that I put at that thing. 

629
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,320
And like, like their interests 
might align with mine, but 

630
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,080
their, their ability, right. 
And their luck, because mount 

631
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,120
collecting is like very much a 
huge portion of it is luck can 

632
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,120
be, can be totally matched. 
But I did want to talk about 

633
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,080
your forever behind comment 
because that's the other part of

634
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:44,040
this is that the teams that do 
get this and get all their teams

635
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,840
and, and such will have a 
significant power boost and that

636
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,920
will help them in their 
progression through this season.

637
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,640
Are they forever behind? 
Yes and no. 

638
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,120
There are definitely times where
you might have the luck of loot 

639
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,720
that I've had this week where 
you go and you run time walking 

640
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,720
because time walking was giving 
out, giving out heroic. 

641
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:15,000
If you did the the five dungeons
or you did the the raid and 

642
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,200
killed enough bosses and you 
happen to get boots and then you

643
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,240
do another thing and you get 
boots and then you do another 

644
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,960
thing and you get belt And it's 
just like the pieces that you 

645
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:32,400
get might be misaligned in in 
the fact that like, why was time

646
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,160
walking in this season giving 
out cloaks? 

647
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:38,360
Why did I get 3 cloaks? 
Oh, woe is me. 

648
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:46,000
Or or in different ways. 
So like there's the possibility 

649
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,400
that like the the loot isn't 
going to line line up as well, 

650
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,000
right? 
Somebody who like gets it gets 

651
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,800
doesn't, doesn't get a good 
piece. 

652
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,880
Somebody who missed it one week,
but the next week gets one of 

653
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,480
those really good trinkets. 
Are they really that far behind?

654
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,320
Like it's, it's, there's a wash 
in that, But also there's the 

655
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,480
fact that like, as these teams 
progress, as they, they are 

656
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:15,680
pushing loot. 
They are going to get less from 

657
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,360
these dungeons as it's more 
likely to hit the pieces that 

658
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,920
they've already got their best 
in slot or something along those

659
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:28,120
lines in so like it isn't quite 
cut and dry. 

660
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,200
And so when when Sean was saying
Forever behind, I want to speak 

661
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,280
to the audience, it's not like 
he wasn't thinking these things.

662
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,360
Often times I have conversations
with Sean and I'm pedantically 

663
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,120
saying things that Sean's 
already considered. 

664
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,000
This is one of those times in my
mind. 

665
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,000
But I do want to say it because.
Because you don't think the 

666
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,240
audience will. 
Be in short form, huh? 

667
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,480
Because you don't think the 
audience is as smart as me. 

668
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,800
I think that like people will 
take you at your word and not 

669
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,360
understand that you're short 
forming stuff and it has to be 

670
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,200
spoken out. 
I want the audience to know that

671
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:09,480
I would never think that they 
weren't right with me to fully 

672
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,440
answer Lex's question. 
If this was anything at all 

673
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:19,480
other than mythic loot or shield
trans mogs I wouldn't care what 

674
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:24,240
they did with it. 
But I think if this was a 

675
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:28,000
cosmetic thing that you would 
see the collector community piss

676
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,720
blood that it was only once a 
week and that it could be ruined

677
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,680
by somebody jumping off before 
you start a key. 

678
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,120
Rightfully so, they already have
the hardest job in the game. 

679
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,200
Actually I just have a a super 
quick question for you guys. 

680
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,280
As the less casual to the group,
would you guys ever like hug 

681
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,760
someone into this? 
Because I I guess I'm just like 

682
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,440
like surprised by the fear of 
like somebody grieving you. 

683
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,240
And I'm like, I cannot imagine 
doing something this hard and 

684
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,240
this precise not with. 
And I guess, I guess if you're 

685
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:59,000
pugging, if you have to pug, you
like, you know, if you don't 

686
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,160
have friends who want to do this
with you, if you're friends with

687
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,400
me and you're like, Oh my God. 
Right. 

688
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,440
I have a five, I have a five Man
Group, but one of them's lack. 

689
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,480
So we don't, we don't have 
anybody for hired mode. 

690
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Exactly. 
OK, I answered my own question. 

691
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,760
Yeah, but no, I would not pug. 
I would. 

692
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,520
There is zero chance I will pug 
this. 

693
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,520
I will run this only with 
guildies and and and friends and

694
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,840
not even all my friends are. 
You going to run with me, Sean? 

695
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:23,800
Are you going to invite me? 
No. 

696
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,800
That's good. 
Are you going to invite me? 

697
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,480
Because I value your feelings 
and I know that it would be too 

698
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,400
stressful for you and I didn't 
want I wouldn't want to put you 

699
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,640
in that situation. 
Thank you, Sean. 

700
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:33,200
You're. 
Welcome. 

701
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,480
And I consider Manny a mound 
collector, so that'll answer the

702
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:36,840
question of whether or not I'd 
invite him. 

703
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,760
Yeah, I'll see myself out, but 
for the rest of us mere mortals 

704
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,600
that want to get gear there? 
Is wait for legal reasons. 

705
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,080
That was a joke. 
No, it wasn't. 

706
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,800
I'm going to edit out the fact 
that you said that was a. 

707
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,040
Joke. 
They're going to think I'm so 

708
00:42:54,080 --> 00:43:01,760
elitist, they'll be right. 
That was so good. 

709
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,400
That was I'm really, really 
pleased with myself. 

710
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,040
That was very clever. 
Sorry. 

711
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:13,560
Well, for those of you who are 
not going to be pushing through 

712
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,920
Tasvash hard mode trying to get 
your deathless runs, there is 

713
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,160
more gear stuff coming up as 
part of a panel that we're going

714
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:26,480
to be talking about soon. 
Blizzard has announced that the 

715
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:32,080
turbo boost is going to be 
coming back in season 3, so 

716
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,880
we're looking at 11 point 2.5 
again, Turbo boost. 

717
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,080
For those of you who have short 
memories, that is when they 

718
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,040
jacked up the levels that you 
could upgrade your gear by 6. 

719
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,480
So you could get two more 
upgrades at the end of your 

720
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,960
mythic track, your hero track or
whatever, and gave everybody a 

721
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:57,280
bit of boost of power. 
This was done in conjunction 

722
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,320
with the dinars, but that is a 
separate system. 

723
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,040
Want to make sure that people 
realize that that that ability 

724
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,600
to buy trinkets was separate 
from this power boost. 

725
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,880
I'm really glad that this is the
thing coming back. 

726
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,960
I think I like this more than 
the dinar system. 

727
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,280
And I say that I'm really glad 
that this is the thing coming 

728
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,280
back. 
But I think it is like of the 

729
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,200
two, which one would I'd like 
more because I don't think I 

730
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,600
like either one of them. 
To be truthful with you guys, 

731
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,280
I've already said on previous 
things, I dislike how quickly 

732
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,840
things become obsolete when you 
go from season to season. 

733
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,040
And I dislike that like part way
through the season. 

734
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,480
Well, this is when the real push
begins, and this is when we can 

735
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,440
really see how far you can get 
in in your keys to see what the 

736
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,080
new cap of keys is. 
And this power creep over the 

737
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,080
course of a season means that, 
like, people who pushed early, 

738
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,360
Well, yeah, that was just so you
get your gear because the real 

739
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,600
push is when these five events 
concur and give you like, an 

740
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,760
extra 25% power. 
Anyways, that's my complaint 

741
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,520
about this, but it's coming 
back. 

742
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,760
What do you guys think? 
Let's start with you, Lex. 

743
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:22,000
So I like the midway through the
season, they're like, oh, it's 

744
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,800
OK. 
I know, I know you don't have 

745
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,640
AOTC yet. 
It's OK here, Here you go. 

746
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,800
Yeah, No, you can get extra 
levels. 

747
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,480
It's OK. 
I think that's good. 

748
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,360
So I'm excited it's coming back.
I'm sorry, Manny. 

749
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,080
Totally fine. 
Like I understand I am likely in

750
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,440
the vast minority where I'm 
like, just let me get whatever 

751
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,080
my season goal is, let me set at
the beginning and be fine with 

752
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,000
it, get the gear, see how far I 
can go and be like, that's where

753
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,440
my limit is. 
Not like, oh, sorry, that's 

754
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:57,440
before you gave me like head and
chance and I'm going back into 

755
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,000
it again, Sean, I don't. 
Really have feelings on this 

756
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,040
either. 
I do have a just a tip though 

757
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,760
for everybody because we know 
this is coming. 

758
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:14,000
You have the ability to trade up
your crests at the Drac fear in 

759
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,520
Donegal where you can turn your 
weather into carves. 

760
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,560
You're carved into ruined. 
You're ruined into gilded. 

761
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:26,320
If at all possible do not do 
that at all this season until 

762
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,360
turbo boost. 
The reason is last season we had

763
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,960
multiple Guild members who never
upgraded their crests. 

764
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,880
They always just found out their
new crests for the week when 

765
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,440
turbo boost came they upgraded 
them all and didn't have to do a

766
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,280
single dungeon to Max out all 
their gear. 

767
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:47,880
So if you can at all avoid 
upgrading your crests, do so and

768
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,760
then just farm your Max volto. 
Farm your Max Crest out every 

769
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,640
week. 
As far as turbos goes, it's I 

770
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,960
think it's an elegant way to 
nerf the raid, but it's so it's 

771
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,520
good because it I I, I like when
more people can clear the raid. 

772
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,120
We are currently liberation of 
Undermine was the most cleared 

773
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:12,120
raid of, I want to say all time,
but if not all time, it was 

774
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,200
definitely the first time in 
forever that the second tier 

775
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,280
raid had more clears than the 
first tier raid did. 

776
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:25,160
It was wildly successful, So 
many clears, turbo boost, so pro

777
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,320
more teams get to clear clear 
the content, more people get to 

778
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,040
enjoy the content. 
More people then move up to a 

779
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,320
next difficulty of content that 
they normally wouldn't get to 

780
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,840
see. 
That's a pro Con is if you have 

781
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,080
finished really early in the 
season, now you have to like 

782
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,280
come back at the midway point. 
A lot of people play the game 

783
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,360
seasonally. 
If you finish really early now, 

784
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,680
you have to come back at the 
midway point to catch your 

785
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,920
character back up to speed for 
the preparation into midnight. 

786
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,080
I know you're going to say, oh, 
it doesn't matter midnight 

787
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,640
because it's all going to get 
gear when we level through 

788
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,120
midnight and this gear won't 
matter. 

789
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,400
But there are people who need to
optimize everything, so they'll 

790
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,200
need to do that. 
Lex, you have a question before 

791
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,640
I do my next con. 
What I was going to say is it's 

792
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,160
it's, it's the change on 
expansion, so. 

793
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,080
It's. 
All going to go away and it's 

794
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,480
but like listen, if you if you 
feel, if you experience joy when

795
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,200
you optimize things knowing that
they'll be meaningless, good for

796
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,080
you. 
That was really that was really 

797
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,480
condescending. 
I'm so sorry. 

798
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,360
I mean that genuinely, I 
genuinely like, play the game 

799
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,840
the way that makes you happy. 
Sorry, what's your next con? 

800
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,960
Don't let Lex get you down, 
she's not going to have any 

801
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,720
mythic pieces from Tessa 
Fishhard mode. 

802
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,640
I sure I probably don't have any
mythic pieces. 

803
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:35,400
You can. 
She's going to be so far. 

804
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,640
Behind and then my next con is 
if you're somebody who kills the

805
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:46,320
raid around that .5 mark turbo 
boost, it can go one of two 

806
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,320
ways. 
Option one, hey, we get a boost 

807
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,080
to get the get past the last 
boss or two, get over that. 

808
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,080
I'm great. 
But the other side to that is if

809
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,240
you're close to a kill on on 
dementias and turbo boost kicks 

810
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:03,040
in, you're now robbed of that 
opportunity to see if you could 

811
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,000
have done it at that lower item 
level because you're going to up

812
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,520
up gear to the next level and 
get that kill. 

813
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:09,760
So it's trying to pulls the rug 
out. 

814
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,360
It can pull the rug out from 
under you. 

815
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,200
That one. 
There's no like there's a pro 

816
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,560
Anicon there with that one with 
it coming out of the .5 patch, 

817
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,440
yeah. 
And I guess my only complaint is

818
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,480
that I can't trade crests 
between my alts and my main SO. 

819
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:28,440
There's a new that comes back 
with turbo boost. 

820
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,320
Sorry. 
Maybe that comes back with turbo

821
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:32,360
boost? 
I don't think we've ever been 

822
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,840
able to trade crests between 
alts. 

823
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,480
Oh wait, no crests. 
I'm thinking valor. 

824
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,400
Nevermind. 
Yeah, yeah, Valor. 

825
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,680
Valor is like a nothing burger 
anyway. 

826
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:44,120
I don't know anybody who's not. 
So yeah, Valor should just not 

827
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,040
exist. 
For the, for the, for the 

828
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,160
listeners at home, I've 
definitely run out of valor. 

829
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,640
OK wait, are you currently valor
cap? 

830
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,360
Because I think that was what 
the sentence was going. 

831
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,240
I'm surely not. 
Continue flex, right? 

832
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,600
There you go. 
Now you know. 

833
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:03,640
Casual. 
We know I'm the casual. 

834
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,240
But yeah, it's so I don't know, 
I just there's like a 0% chance 

835
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:13,080
I'm going to look at Turbo Boost
and my 4 alts and think I can't 

836
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,920
wait to do 42 more plus twelves 
for all of them. 

837
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,080
And actually I think it was 
higher than I think it was like 

838
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,800
84 I had to do. 
It was a ridiculous number 

839
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,880
anyway. 
I don't know, I did not mean to 

840
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,120
just double that first number. 
I said, but that's that's what 

841
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,880
happened. 
But that was coming back. 

842
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,000
But this isn't news because they
told us they had an interview 

843
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,240
like a month ago where they 
said, yeah, we really like Turbo

844
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,240
Boost and we'd like to see 
something like that come back in

845
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,160
season 3. 
And then it's like the Internet 

846
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,200
forgot that they said that and 
that they read it. 

847
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:46,480
We actually reported that. 
Yeah, but they said, they said 

848
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,600
they would like to see something
like that. 

849
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,760
We didn't know exactly and we 
didn't know if it was going to 

850
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:57,080
so for them to well. 
And they've never not had like 

851
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,400
made like the halfway point of 
the patch is always when they 

852
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,120
just start like finding a way to
just throw things at you, which 

853
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,720
again, I like because I like the
fact that if I have been 

854
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,840
struggling with things, they say
it's OK. 

855
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,920
No, no, no, no, no, it's OK. 
You don't have to quit Mythic 

856
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,440
plus it's OK. 
Look, you get more. 

857
00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:15,640
We knew that interview was legit
because it wasn't an Ian quote. 

858
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,680
Your hate of Ian. 
Continues. 

859
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,800
I think he's lovely and I think 
the game has climbed like 

860
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,600
decades above where it was since
he took over as game director. 

861
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,560
I think Ian is doing a fantastic
job but I need to be curmudgeon 

862
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,160
abled somebody and I think 
Morgan Day is a sweetheart, so 

863
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:36,880
Ian gets it. 
Yeah, we got him. 

864
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,120
We all have to have the one 
person that we name and shame on

865
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,960
the podcast, which Manny, you 
have to pick yours. 

866
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,320
Who's the dev that you want to 
publicly state your dislike of? 

867
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,240
Not just like we love you. 
Yeah, I got none. 

868
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,880
I have. 
I have different people who are 

869
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,480
no longer part of Blizzard that 
I think are absolute ass hats. 

870
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,000
But we won't mention you better 
than this episode. 

871
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,400
Let's move on. 
Manny, he's one of us. 

872
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,640
Dear God, something we can all 
look forward to. 

873
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:06,360
I. 
Bet you he does it. 

874
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,440
Definitely no. 
Let's not talk about him. 

875
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,560
Let's move on. 
I'm sorry. 

876
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:16,440
OK, so something we can look 
forward to is the Legion Remix, 

877
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,720
which is going to be our last 
story of this episode. 

878
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:25,560
We had a Wow cast that came out 
where they unleashed all this 

879
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:30,480
information about Legion remix. 
It looks like they have taken 

880
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:35,760
the formula for Mr. Pandera 
Remix and then amped it up a 

881
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,520
bit. 
They talked about how you're 

882
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,840
going to have the 12 Legion 
classes to play through and go 

883
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,200
through. 
That experience is going to be 

884
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:53,600
an accelerated pace. 
However, it is going to have 

885
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,720
some time gating. 
I said the word time gating. 

886
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,800
I'm really sorry guys. 
You're not going to be able to 

887
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,520
kill Argus on day one. 
Quitting the game. 

888
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:08,600
Yeah, there's a lot of 
improvements that they have 

889
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,840
done, like bronze is purely 
cosmetic. 

890
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,880
That is something I know, Sean, 
you and I were a little little 

891
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,560
giving you a little side eye at 
1st and then we realized, hey, 

892
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,360
once you get the power, then 
you'll get enough bronze. 

893
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,160
And they made multiple 
improvements along the way of 

894
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,640
Mr. Pandaria so that like we 
were swimming with bronze by the

895
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:33,160
end of it, just like Remix 
before, we're getting a lot of 

896
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,520
cosmetics like the pets, the 
mounts, the transmog gear. 

897
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,960
Things that they have said that 
is that are coming back along 

898
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:49,080
those lines include the artefact
weapons, not the mage tower. 

899
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:54,040
People are upset about that 
friendship Burb coming back as 

900
00:53:54,040 --> 00:54:00,240
well as the class mounts, but 
with a new fell green version 

901
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:02,720
for all of them. 
I don't know what that means for

902
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:05,920
warlocks because we already had 
a fell green version, but this 

903
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:10,160
is like I guess a more fell 
green Rasteed. 

904
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,480
There's also like a number of 
things, like different variants 

905
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,600
of stuff that that didn't exist 
in Legion, but it's very much 

906
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:25,440
Legion, Legion esque. 
So Manoroff's shield, the 

907
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:33,200
corrupted version of Varian's 
sword, which looks so good. 

908
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,080
I got to get that for my 
warrior. 

909
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:44,320
The, the thing that is is 
exciting me most is that for 

910
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:49,200
world quest for the outdoor 
world, they are taking a page 

911
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,560
from Diablo and actually having 
different tiers of difficulty 

912
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:59,920
for the, for the world. 
I'm hoping and like knock on 

913
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,160
wood, I'm not going to knock 
because I don't want this to 

914
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:07,040
screw up the recording. 
I'm hoping that this is 

915
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:13,200
something that they're testing 
for the main game because we've 

916
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,360
said it here a number of times, 
or at least I've said it here a 

917
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,560
number of times that like 
outdoor world content need some 

918
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,360
teeth. 
And this might be this might be 

919
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,880
exactly what I need. 
This might be me biting off more

920
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,200
than I could chew and I will be 
happy for that. 

921
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,840
What are you guys excited for in
in Legion that I haven't talked 

922
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,520
about because there's a number 
of things in here. 

923
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:38,200
I'm going to throw this one to 
Sean first. 

924
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,880
When am I supposed to play this 
because I'll be busy gearing my 

925
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,080
characters up from the turbo 
boost during the 11 point 2.5. 

926
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,280
Sean, you could always exposure 
therapy, not maxing everything 

927
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,560
like you, you could, you could 
do that as like a personal goal,

928
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,440
Like I'm going to see how it 
feels to not do everything that 

929
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,480
I can do this season. 
Sure, Alex, I. 

930
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,600
Get where your head's at Alex. 
But think about it this way, he 

931
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:05,360
would just be like supplanting 
mid maxing his live character 

932
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,680
for supplant for mid maxing his 
character in Legion. 

933
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,520
So would it help at all in that 
way? 

934
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,080
Because you're something we're 
also not thinking about here. 

935
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,440
It just it seems like a lot. 
I liked that panda like they 

936
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:18,520
mentioned. 
Hey, we're putting everything 

937
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,320
back in all the dungeons, all 
the raids, all the campaign 

938
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,880
quests, all the class, all 
quests, all the artifact quests 

939
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,240
and we're going to time gate it.
Every two weeks you get a new 

940
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:32,120
flavorful of this stuff. 
It just feels like a lot to jam 

941
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:41,040
into the four month window that 
is .5 up to 12 point O. 

942
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,160
And on top of that we have turbo
boost like I sort of tongue in 

943
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,400
cheek mentioned, but there's 
going to be midnight alpha at 

944
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:48,880
the exact same time at midnight 
beta. 

945
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,920
Like it's sort of what happened 
with classic Mop classic 

946
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,840
launching right at the same time
as 11.2. 

947
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,280
And when there are people who 
genuinely like, severely suffer 

948
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:07,400
from the need to collect 
everything, who will lose sleep 

949
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,720
and 'cause themselves like, not 
like, it will, it will damage 

950
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:14,520
themselves to make sure they get
everything and do all of this 

951
00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:16,680
while also doing all those other
things. 

952
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,920
I feel like it's too much. 
There's twelve class campaigns. 

953
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,160
Pandaria remix that happened 
during a season 4 right? 

954
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,600
Am I fully making that up? 
Yes, yeah. 

955
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:37,760
So when nothing was happening. 
Yeah, I do kind of agree that if

956
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,920
you're not going to have a 
season 4, why are you giving me 

957
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,160
filler content? 
Like respectfully, remix 

958
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:48,480
Pandaria was filler content. 
To be fair though, I was not a 

959
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,800
remix girlie so I've not been 
paying heavy attention to Legion

960
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,560
in general. 
Like Legion Remix in general, I 

961
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,760
know that it's some people's 
thing. 

962
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,600
So I mean to yuck anyone's Yum. 
For me personally, it felt like 

963
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,720
I didn't get into it right away.
And then when I did get into it,

964
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,680
everyone was just like face 
rolling everything. 

965
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,200
Which like, it's fun for a few 
runs to go through a dungeon and

966
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,480
all you're doing is trot trot 
trotting behind somebody while 

967
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,080
they wipe it out. 
And then you kind of get sick of

968
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,920
that. 
But that's my own problem. 

969
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,360
I I wasn't playing like Sean. 
I wasn't even maxing. 

970
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:18,840
And that's my own fault. 
But yeah, I think I kind of am 

971
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,080
on your side with this Sean. 
That it it it. 

972
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,560
This is something to throw in 
when we're in a lot like a a 

973
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:33,000
content lull, not with a .5. 
Yeah, there there will be people

974
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,480
who still haven't finished the 
raid, right? 

975
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,640
Like raid teams will still be 
progressing. 

976
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,400
It's, I don't know, it just 
feels like a lot. 

977
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,680
Not to complain endlessly about 
Blizzard's new road maps, but I 

978
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,560
feel like this is kind of the 
downfall of the road map, which 

979
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,800
is that if something is in the 
road map, they feel like they 

980
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,040
have to put it in right. 
Like if they're going to put a 

981
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,680
Legion, maybe I'm wrong, Manny's
making face of me that makes me 

982
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,840
think that I'm wrong. 
But if like I, I, I feel like 

983
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,360
Legion remix is something to 
have in your little back pocket 

984
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,600
for when you know that your team
is going to need help, right? 

985
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,360
And they're going to need to be 
able to have a longer mid patch 

986
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,400
or they're going to need to put 
in a Season 4 that they didn't 

987
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,720
originally want. 
And you need something so that 

988
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,440
people don't, you know, send 
death threats on Twitter. 

989
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,760
And you're like, OK, yeah. 
So we're doing the Season 4. 

990
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,960
And while we're announcing 
Season 4, also Legion Remix, 

991
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,160
right? 
Putting it in on the road map 

992
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:30,600
and making it a part of the game
in general leads to it not being

993
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,320
like makes it filler content 
that has to go in even if you 

994
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,080
don't need filler content. 
Yeah. 

995
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:40,800
I'd love your thoughts. 
Money. 

996
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:46,880
Oh, I'm going to be the meanest 
that I can be to do poor 

997
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,360
collectors. 
Even though Sean thinks, and I'm

998
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,360
I'm one of you, get over it. 
I'm sorry. 

999
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,720
I think that part of the thrill 
of collecting should be the 

1000
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,920
hunt. 
I think that. 

1001
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,720
You have to prioritize. 
I hate that people go and and 

1002
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,680
complain every month that I 
don't have enough tenders to get

1003
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,000
everything in the in the trading
post. 

1004
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,480
Well, then you don't get 
everything in the traders post. 

1005
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,720
Make priorities. 
If if this is going to hurt you 

1006
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:24,760
to not have everything, then you
need to adjust your view. 

1007
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:29,400
Like Sean's talking about like, 
hey, like I want to hunt trans 

1008
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:30,920
mog. 
We want to talk about all trans 

1009
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:32,760
mog. 
He likes shield trans mog 

1010
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,960
because he prioritizes raiding 
mythic plus and stuff. 

1011
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,360
And he's like, I'm not going to 
collect every trans mog. 

1012
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,240
That's too much. 
So even with all the time that 

1013
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,360
Sean says he has to play on 
North America and Europe and do 

1014
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,600
all these things, he, he narrows
his focus down so that like he 

1015
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,360
can maintain sanity and maintain
real life relationships. 

1016
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,280
Like apparently he's got a, a 
woman that he lives with. 

1017
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,000
Like I don't want to preach 
about. 

1018
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,720
Did you just balance but 
everything? 

1019
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,760
In moderation, including Wow, 
did you? 

1020
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,600
Just refer to Anjali as a woman 
that I live with. 

1021
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,840
I was just giving the general 
thing like you have 

1022
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,000
relationships that you maintain 
that you prioritize, right? 

1023
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,160
And like I didn't want to like 
go to down the preachy Rd. 

1024
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,040
because I'm already like veering
so hard into it. 

1025
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:32,840
But I think that if you are 
somebody who wants to get the 

1026
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:38,040
stuff from Mr. Pandaria, but 
sorry rather from Legion Remix, 

1027
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:42,000
but also wants to get the stuff 
currently on on live, yes, you 

1028
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,560
are going to have to make a 
choice. 

1029
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:49,920
I think that the last patch of a
expansion right where the gear 

1030
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:55,120
is going to be made relatively 
obsolete by by the next 

1031
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,640
expansion and you want to 
collect everything, then 

1032
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:03,120
prioritize Legion remix because 
that's there temporarily. 

1033
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,800
And when you are level 90 and 
able to squash everything in 

1034
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,880
Koresh, come back and stomp 
that. 

1035
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,960
Yes, it's it's going to come at 
you a little bit faster than you

1036
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:19,720
can deal with right now. 
But like I also want options for

1037
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,760
the people who are like done 
with Koresh. 

1038
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,880
Maybe they went through the 
story and the the story ended 

1039
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,520
this this week except for the 
except for the epilogue. 

1040
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:35,040
If you happen to be stuck behind
the story mode raid clear, 

1041
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:36,280
you're going to have to wait for
that. 

1042
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,400
And there are people who aren't 
doing everything, but they 

1043
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,240
should still get content. 
There are people who love love 

1044
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,040
collecting, don't like rating, 
but they should still get 

1045
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,280
collect content. 
There are people who missed 

1046
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,000
legion in the 1st place and this
is a way cool accessible way to 

1047
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,760
way to do it. 
So like, yes, it's not there for

1048
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,720
everybody, right? 
But like, just like how this, 

1049
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:07,840
this version of hard mode 
Tazewesh effects some people, 

1050
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,520
negatively effects some people, 
gives some stuff for some people

1051
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,080
to do. 
There are going to be things 

1052
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,680
where Blitzer's going to put out
stuff that maybe isn't for you 

1053
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,840
or conflicts with stuff that 
you're already trying to do. 

1054
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:24,360
And I think as gamers, we should
accept that and not expect them 

1055
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,600
to put out the perfect calendar.
So I can get everything in 

1056
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:32,360
classic and everything in retail
and then everything when Mr. 

1057
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,280
Panteria drops. 
And then poor Sean, who might 

1058
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,480
not like any of, sorry, I keep 
saying Mr. Panteria when Legion 

1059
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,880
drops, and then poor Sean, who 
doesn't like any of this, has to

1060
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,120
wait around 12 months for you to
collect everything. 

1061
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,280
That doesn't feel fair to Sean 
either. 

1062
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,880
But Sean, you had a point to to 
go against this. 

1063
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,320
Go ahead. 
It's not to go against it, I 

1064
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:56,920
just wanted to know or wanted to
ask, do we not have to make 

1065
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,640
enough sacrifices in real life 
for things that we want and 

1066
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,720
can't have? 
Is it not OK for us to be able 

1067
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:04,400
to just get everything in a 
video game? 

1068
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,280
Yes and no. 
That's supposed to bring joy. 

1069
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,960
It's not supposed to be a 
microcosm to teach us how to 

1070
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,640
deal with life. 
It's just supposed to be a fun 

1071
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:21,280
thing we play. 
OK, I collect mounts and I love 

1072
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:22,680
collecting mounts and it's a fun
thing. 

1073
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,560
It's a fun thing I play, but I'm
never going to get PvP mounts. 

1074
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,520
That's always going to be a gap 
for me, right? 

1075
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,600
Don't you want and I could do. 
It and I could or I could be 

1076
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,280
like Blizzard you should stop 
doing PvP mounts because mount 

1077
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,360
collectors and PvP players are 
completely opposite. 

1078
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,600
Because those people who get 
glad they spend their time 

1079
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,240
fighting, not collecting mounts.
That's true, and that seems like

1080
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,840
a very silly argument that we 
would never have on this show. 

1081
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,480
It's true. 
I think it's true, yeah. 

1082
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,920
I mean, the fact you don't have 
glad mounts proves it. 

1083
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,080
Sean was right. 
Yeah. 

1084
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,880
Go get some glad mounts. 
Yeah. 

1085
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,400
I mean, lead. 
Your remix is probably going to 

1086
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,080
be fun. 
I imagine Twitter will love it 

1087
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,680
because they love things. 
Yeah. 

1088
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,120
I don't know. 
I don't, I know I don't. 

1089
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,920
I would love to experience. 
I think it'll be cool to 

1090
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,280
experience the story of the the 
classes I haven't play because I

1091
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,800
didn't play Legion when it was 
current. 

1092
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:28,080
But just where this is 
launching, I already know, you 

1093
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,400
know, And in .7 we're getting 
housing, so it's like, I don't 

1094
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:33,640
know. 
Yeah. 

1095
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,600
And it doesn't matter. 
It'll be playing a solo game 

1096
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,800
anyway because the world's are 
all going to be phased as people

1097
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,480
playing different difficulties. 
Yeah, that's the thing that I, I

1098
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,960
definitely want to test this out
because like the different world

1099
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:51,560
tiers on top of phasing when 
things get busy or on top of 

1100
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,200
like different, different realms
and stuff, I'm hoping that it 

1101
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,680
doesn't segment the world too 
much. 

1102
01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:01,040
Like there's gonna, there's 
gonna have to be some, some sort

1103
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,160
of thing that they're doing to 
make this work. 

1104
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,480
But yeah, no, I'm excited. 
I'm excited for it, at least the

1105
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,720
prospect of it, assuming that I 
can, you know, find the time. 

1106
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,160
But you're right. 
If I'm in like the alpha or the 

1107
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:19,080
beta, yeah, sorry, Legion remix,
you're taking the backseat. 

1108
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,200
What about you, Lex? 
Anything like you're really 

1109
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:23,160
excited for in here? 
I'm. 

1110
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,680
Probably gonna go in and get 
some trans monks. 

1111
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,360
Yeah, that's probably. 
I did play through lead band and

1112
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,240
it was really fun. 
But I think I'm going to be 

1113
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:39,120
trying to get AOTC or after 
having AOTC or hopefully doing 

1114
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,080
midnight stuff. 
And like I said, I was just not 

1115
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,520
I, I really did not play 
Pandaria Remix a lot and I was 

1116
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,160
really excited about Pandaria 
Remix. 

1117
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:54,520
So I'm not counting on me being 
at all motivated to play lead 

1118
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,160
remix, but we'll see. 
There's been plenty of things 

1119
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:57,920
that I was like, I do not care 
about this. 

1120
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,200
And then it was fun. 
I can't think of any examples, 

1121
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,360
but I think they've happened. 
I believe. 

1122
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:03,960
Can I give a special shout out 
to chat? 

1123
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,760
The chat just made me chuckle 
pretty hard. 

1124
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:11,080
OK, go, go ahead. 
After my rebuttal to Manny's 

1125
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,480
statement, chat said Sean says 
can't we just collect everything

1126
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,080
but also Sean accept anything 
from mythic filthy casuals? 

1127
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,800
See, you're, you're, you're a 
nuanced man. 

1128
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,400
You're onion. 
You've got multiple layers 

1129
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,400
there. 
It's make me try when I try and 

1130
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,760
figure a new deal through them. 
Yeah, we're working with me. 

1131
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,560
I've been told before that 
working with me is tear 

1132
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:41,760
inducing, so yeah. 
Well, we're going to call it 

1133
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,040
here. 
Thank you so much on and Lex for

1134
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,560
for this episode. 
We'll be back next week. 

1135
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,360
And until next time guys, may 
all your hits be crits.
