1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,960
Maybe you'll get the loot that 
much faster because you got EP 

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,880
mcsween up on your raid. 
I've done a dungeon with him, 

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,440
he's actually pretty good at 
mechanics. 

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,560
He's a blowhard. 
We don't need him. 

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:18,000
Victory for the Forsaken. 
For Lauderon for the Karen tour 

6
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,760
for. 
Pandaria. 

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,400
For calendar to the. 
Burning region for Gilnaeus or 

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,440
has not died for the Lich king 
for the. 

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,360
Sindora for the alliance. 
For the horn for Azeroth. 

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Hello and welcome back to 
another episode of For Azeroth. 

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,320
I am one of your hosts, Manny, 
and of joining me is of course 

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,000
the other two parts of The 
Triumphant. 

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Of course, joining us first is 
Lex. 

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Lex, how is the World of 
Warcraft treating you this week?

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,240
It's been treating me well. 
I have really dug into delves 

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,600
again this week and in fact this
week I had the thought, you 

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,360
know, I don't actually have to 
do M plus for this entire season

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,000
if I don't want to. 
And I like felt my body relax. 

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,440
So looks like I'm not doing M 
plus this season but that's OK 

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,320
because I have my fun little 
delves to gear through and get 

21
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,080
my hero gear and I get to Bob 
with my raid and have a good 

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,200
time. 
OK. 

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,560
OK. 
And you're, I know you had done 

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,160
8 and I think you had tried an 
11 last week. 

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,400
Are you still doing around 
there? 

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,960
I tried a nine. 
Isn't it hard? 

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,920
You guys are right, they're 
tough, but I did like having a 

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,720
little bit more challenge. 
I will also say the undertaker 

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,520
is wait, no, not the the 
underpin. 

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,640
The underpin, excuse me, man's 
tricky. 

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,320
He has so many ads it's crazy. 
So we're going to keep working 

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480
on that, but. 
It's not the. 

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,680
So that's going to be question 
mark, not double question mark, 

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,080
OK. 
Yeah. 

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,000
Just question Mark. 
No, no. 

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,800
I started with double question 
mark. 

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,720
I was like, I bet I can do this.
I bet it's not as hard as people

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,400
were saying. 
And then I went back out and was

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,880
like, I'm going to do this on 
one question mark. 

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,520
I bet I can do that. 
That's probably not as hard as 

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,120
people are saying. 
And then I went out and I'm 

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,200
like, I'm going to gear a little
more and then we'll try again. 

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,280
Got it, got it. 
And where are you in your gear 

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,520
progression? 
I am up to 641. 

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,080
I have 0 jewellery from this 
season though, so both of my 

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,800
rings and my necklace are 619. 
Season 1 little grey text and I 

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,120
really got to figure out 
crafting and I've never crafted 

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,200
anything in my life and I'm 
broke as a joke so I'm probably 

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,680
not actually going to figure out
crafting. 

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,040
But I got it. 
I got it because I really should

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
not be at this point in the game
with no necklace and no rings 

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,920
for this season. 
But maybe next of all. 

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,120
OK, I mean, necks are hard to 
come by this season. 

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,720
I actually did a search through 
and looked at all the things. 

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,360
It's just like there's barely 
any neck drops the dungeon pool 

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,600
cause like we've got dungeons 
from BFA, right? 

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:07,240
Which means no necks there. 
And there are literally 22IN all

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,360
of the dungeon pools. 
And then in the raid, I think 

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,560
there's two for me. 
It's, it's, it's pretty, pretty 

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,440
vicious. 
So you're, you're not alone. 

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,880
I've crafted a neck and I'm 
going to be re crafting a neck 

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,280
as soon as I get a enough of the
concentration to do the earthen 

63
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,360
crafted. 
Cause I've been making that neck

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,160
for everybody else. 
And now I know why. 

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,760
Yeah. 
Let's get an order from me, 

66
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,480
Manny. 
That's why there. 

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,760
You go, you just let me know. 
I can. 

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,720
I can do some Joel crafting. 
I'll jump into your guilt for a 

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,480
little bit quickly. 
Make it for you. 

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
You're broke as a joke, so this 
will be a labor of love, not 

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,280
profit. 
I have some money, I have like 

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,320
50,000 gold I think. 
Not even my of all my war band, 

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,400
not even the lowest salt has 
only 50K. 

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Anyways, going over to somebody 
who might also be a little bit 

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,360
broke as a joke because it is 
that that part of going through 

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,320
progression and so forth. 
Sean, hello, how are you and 

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,000
how's the World of Warcraft been
treating you? 

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Warcraft's been great. 
I'm actually pretty flushed this

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,960
season. 
I did a bunch of farming at the 

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,240
end of last season once we 
wrapped up everything, so I 

81
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,880
haven't had to buy a token yet. 
So there you go Manny. 

82
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,520
I'm sitting on an easy 4 to 500 
K rich there. 

83
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,080
You go, there you go. 
That's that's pretty solid 

84
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,640
there. 
Yeah, Warcraft's been great. 

85
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,400
I we killed Sticks Bunk Junker 
on NA last week. 

86
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,720
It was a pretty good kill. 
The team did really well and 

87
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,560
then we got Sprocketmonger lock 
and stock, first of his name, 

88
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:50,760
King of the Andals to 31%. 
I want to say no 34%. 

89
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,160
And then on EU, I read on EU as 
well. 

90
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,280
We, we got AOTC on Sunday, which
is it's an AOTC Guild that I'm 

91
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:00,560
in on EU because I couldn't 
possibly maintain 2 mythic 

92
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,400
rating characters on two 
different regions. 

93
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,000
And that was a lot of fun. 
That team did great. 

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,480
So we're in the postseason for 
them, which means I can start my

95
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,720
gold farm early over there. 
We're only one month in. 

96
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,600
I got about 5 months of of 
herbing and mining to do so 

97
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,480
that's pretty good. 
So I should be good for gold for

98
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,720
a bit. 
It's tough one of you because I 

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,200
can't buy tokens there. 
I'm a big big fan of the token 

100
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,560
purchase, but because I have an 
NAB net account, I can't 

101
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480
purchase EU tokens. 
I would have to change the 

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,040
region of my B net, which would 
then mean I couldn't buy NA 

103
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,600
tokens. 
So I am restricted to only 

104
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,640
getting gold in EU by farming. 
Wait, how hard is it to change 

105
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,680
your region though? 
Like could you just like do that

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,800
on like a daily basis anytime 
you wanted to? 

107
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,880
I'm going. 
To be honest with you, I don't 

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,160
know, but it's a minor 
annoyance, which means it's 

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,760
beyond the scope that I'm 
willing to consider that's. 

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,480
Entirely fair. 
It's actually impossible. 

111
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,720
Yeah, I, we tried to change the 
faucet in our bathtub on 

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,360
Saturday. 
Honestly wanted to put a we have

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,320
like a one of those cast iron 
claw foot bathtubs and it just 

114
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,600
had a faucet like a like a what 
do you spell it? 

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,880
And. 
You rub oil? 

116
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Yeah, we rub oil on it. 
Yeah. 

117
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,520
You got to get them. 
You got to season them. 

118
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,720
You got to be. 
And so she wanted a wanted like 

119
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,400
a shower nozzle on there and put
a shocker around it. 

120
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,760
To swap a faucet in a bathroom 
like that, because it's open, 

121
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,520
it's. 
It should be as easy as you undo

122
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,120
the compression nuts that are 
currently on the faucet. 

123
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Take the two lock nuts off. 
Pull the faucet open, put the 

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
new faucet in, lock nuts on. 
Reattach the compressor nuts. 

125
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Bob, Compression nuts. 
Bob's your uncle. 

126
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,480
It was not that easy for us. 
It was 6 1/2 hours. 

127
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560
One of the compression nuts was 
bent. 

128
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,880
At one point there was water 
spraying all over the back of 

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,600
the wall when we tried to see if
we had put them on right. 

130
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,640
I then attempted to get it to 
stop dripping. 

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,000
I have multiple bruises and four
cuts and we ended up calling a 

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,040
plumber who came on Monday and 
at that point we were so 

133
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,880
frustrated with the new shower 
nozzle that we put in that we 

134
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,040
asked him just to put the old 
one in. 

135
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,400
So I spent this weekend $230 on 
a new shower faucet for our 

136
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,800
bathtub and then $125.00 to have
a plumber put it all back the 

137
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,040
way it was before we started. 
Which for those keeping a score 

138
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,840
at home, is what Anjali 
suggested we do on Saturday 

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,960
morning. 
She said, why don't we just get 

140
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
an attachment on the wall with a
little claw and I'll just 

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,640
because the one we have up there
now has like a, one of those 

142
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
handheld things with a hose. 
She's like, I'll just hang it up

143
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,880
on there. 
She's the one that's here. 

144
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,400
I'll just hang it up. 
And I was like, no, no, no, we 

145
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,920
got to get you a nice one. 
We have. 

146
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,280
It's going to be easy. 
It's going to be so easy. 

147
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Anyway, Warcraft great. 
I'm. 

148
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Really glad Angela is back. 
Yeah, I'm glad she's back too. 

149
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,120
You know, I'm glad she's back. 
But while she was gone, there 

150
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,680
was no plumbers required in this
house. 

151
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,640
And I believe pretty soon you're
going to be hopping across the 

152
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,640
pond. 
Yeah. 

153
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:04,280
May I fly out May 7th for LFG 2 
and that runs May 10th and 11th.

154
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,000
And I can't announce it yet 
because they haven't announced 

155
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
it yet, but there will be a 
special recruiter friend episode

156
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,880
recorded live on scene with 
somebody that is very cool. 

157
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,680
Oh, is it me? 
It is. 

158
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,880
It could be you. 
No it. 

159
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,080
Couldn't because I'm going to be
in. 

160
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,480
Boss, but I can't. 
But I can't say who it is, but 

161
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,919
it's, it's, I'm pretty excited 
about it. 

162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,120
I'm really looking forward to to
talking to this person. 

163
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,240
They have mirrors at home. 
If you want to talk to somebody,

164
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,360
cool, you don't have to fly out.
That's true. 

165
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,960
I'm talking to two cool people 
right now. 

166
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Yeah. 
And I'm in the conversation too.

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,840
So I'm glad that World of 
Warcraft is going well for you 

168
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,680
guys. 
That progression is going well 

169
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,760
in delves and rating and so 
forth. 

170
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:04,240
But one thing that has been 
hitting the servers is a number 

171
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:11,000
of hot fixes for not delves, not
raids, but the dungeons. 

172
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,720
And I'm. 
I'm glad to see these hot fixes.

173
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,600
I'm glad to see them constantly 
changing things. 

174
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,800
Last week we had fortified, but 
it was like OG fortified, not 

175
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,560
the regular fortified. 
Instead of getting the nice 20% 

176
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:29,600
health buff, the these guys were
packing more punch than usual 

177
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,680
and Blizzard took some time, 
realized oops that was a mistake

178
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,720
and we got the proper fortified 
back. 

179
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,400
And I'm glad for that. 
Were you doing dungeons quick 

180
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,160
enough for this, or did this 
elude your your sights there, 

181
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Sean? 
I mean, I had been doing 

182
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,360
dungeons since this this, this 
bug was in place for the whole 

183
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,480
start. 
Like this has been in place 

184
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,920
since start of the season. 
So everybody was doing them 

185
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,360
harder than they should have 
been, and they feel a lot easier

186
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,600
now. 
Pull sizes have increased. 

187
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,320
Get ready for those MDI pulls. 
Lex. 

188
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,240
I can't believe I have to just 
ask this. 

189
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,640
This is the best Mythic Plus 
season I think I've ever played 

190
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,440
in terms of both accessibility 
and fun, and this is the season 

191
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,760
you're choosing to quit. 
Yeah, So I, so first of all, I 

192
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720
think Mythic Plus is I, I, I 
want to be really clear, that 

193
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,240
was not me saying other people 
should also quit Mythic Plus. 

194
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,960
The only argument I would like 
to make from that is to remember

195
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,480
that this is a video game that 
exists for fun. 

196
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,440
And if there's anything in this 
video game that's not fun for 

197
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,720
you, just don't. 
Just don't do it. 

198
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,080
Simply don't. 
It it the why why it's it to to 

199
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,200
be clear, if you are a 
professional World of Warcraft 

200
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,200
player, don't listen to me. 
Listen to your boss. 

201
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,160
Then you do do all the hard 
stuff. 

202
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,200
You're getting paid for it. 
I do hard stuff at work. 

203
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,680
I mean not as hard as what you 
do probably, but I do stupid 

204
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:54,240
things that I hate at work and 
it's the job. 

205
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,640
That's why you're making money. 
But if you are not getting paid 

206
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,840
for World of Warcraft, it's a 
poopa doopa doopa video game. 

207
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:07,680
Have a good time. 
I so mythic plus hits this 

208
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,840
perfect in between spot for me. 
We're like in a raid. 

209
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,080
I don't feel like everyone's 
looking at me and I'm like 

210
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,200
everyone knows when I'm doing a 
bad job because there's a 

211
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,800
million other people. 
It's fun, right? 

212
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520
Even when I was a healer, 
there's a bunch of other people.

213
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,840
It's no big you tank a little 
bit. 

214
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,760
I felt like I but that's, you 
know, whatever it's there's two 

215
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,880
of them. 
They'll figure it out. 

216
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,680
If I die, then the other tank 
gets cool because he gets to 

217
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,160
kill the boss on his own. 
Everyone's like, oh, Kirk, 

218
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,040
you're so good, you know, who 
cares? 

219
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,760
I was actually I was trying to 
make Kirk look good. 

220
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280
So raid. 
I feel like I can kind of blacks

221
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,960
and vibe with my friends and 
just hoop like, you know, not 

222
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,240
stress delves. 
Obviously it is me in a room and

223
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,800
I am bopping right along and 
we're having a good time and 

224
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,520
everything is great. 
And so, you know, who cares? 

225
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,680
Nobody's looking at me. 
We're having we're having fun 

226
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,200
and plus I feel like everyone is
looking at me and I feel like, 

227
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480
especially because all of my 
friends are really experienced 

228
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,720
mythic plus players, I like 
every time things are going 

229
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360
badly, I feel like it is my 
fault And I am like, everyone is

230
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,520
just taking this like horrible 
carry. 

231
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,080
So like, you know, to to power 
through and like everyone's like

232
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,200
having a bad time and they could
be having a good time if they 

233
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,800
were playing with anyone else, 
but they're playing with me. 

234
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400
He's having a bad time. 
So mythic plus has always been a

235
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,520
little bit overly like more 
stressful for me. 

236
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,440
And I felt very like observed 
and like even even outside. 

237
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160
And I want to be really clear. 
This is I none of my friends 

238
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,320
have ever made me feel like a 
bad carrier. 

239
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,640
My friends are incredible. 
They're wonderful. 

240
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,160
They just want to play with me. 
I know that in my thought brain,

241
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,360
I know that in my feeling brain,
I feel like an asshole. 

242
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:41,680
Sorry, Manny, but so for like 
even beyond that, like I just, I

243
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:44,920
feel like everyone can see when 
I make a mistake in mythic plus 

244
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,960
in a way that I don't really 
feel enraged because there's so 

245
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,760
many more people and I don't 
feel in doubt because they're 

246
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,040
zero people. 
So mythic plus is always tough 

247
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,800
for me. 
And then this tier, there's, you

248
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,520
know, gestures vaguely, the 
happenings of the world that 

249
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,160
have my anxiety up. 
And also everything that I do 

250
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,280
has to compete against the other
option, which is sitting on a 

251
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,400
couch while a little puppy 
snuggles her little body into me

252
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360
and looks at me with more love 
than I've ever seen anyone look 

253
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,280
at me in my life. 
So anything that like doesn't 

254
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,280
bring more joy like then a 
little puppy look and snuggling 

255
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,040
up at me and looking at me with 
more love than I've ever seen 

256
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,840
anyone look at me in my life. 
It it's just, it doesn't feel as

257
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,320
good, right? 
So this season in particular, I 

258
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,560
have found that the stressors of
mythic plus are not outweighing.

259
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:37,840
I'm sorry, the the stressors are
outweighing the joy for me. 

260
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,760
And I would just rather have a 
slow little tier where it takes 

261
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,840
me a while to gear. 
But I'm bopping through my, you 

262
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,080
know, couple delves every week. 
I'm getting my keys in and then 

263
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,560
I'm going in a rating with all 
my besties. 

264
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,120
We're having a fun little time. 
We're chatting, chatting, 

265
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,920
chatting away and nobody's 
looking at me because there's a 

266
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,720
million people and I spend the 
other nights snuggling with my 

267
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,600
little puppy. 
Yeah, you had me a puppy. 

268
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,720
I get it. 
You're also going to have 

269
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,080
horrific visions in 11 point 1.5
which are also solo content and 

270
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,240
they come with a friend from 
Sora Dormy so and they drop 

271
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,600
heroic tier gear so I'm sorry 
Heroic track gear. 

272
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,000
I'm going to be the geared out 
most geared out person in my 

273
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,240
guilt. 
Yeah, there you go. 

274
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,600
All right. 
You know what, Lex? 

275
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,600
You're right. 
You should quit this season. 

276
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Hell yeah. 
And again, I'm not saying that 

277
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Mythic Plus is bad. 
First of all, everything that I 

278
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,880
said is ridiculous. 
Can I first say that I know that

279
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,720
every single thing I said about 
Mythic Plus and everyone 

280
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,720
watching me and feeling that I 
care, that's stupid. 

281
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,120
That's dumb. 
If you feel that way, you're 

282
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,320
wrong. 
That's not how it goes. 

283
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240
That's not how anyone feels. 
And if they do feel like that, 

284
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,160
they're an idiot. 
All of the mistakes are your 

285
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,800
fault, but nobody cares. 
Yeah, exactly. 

286
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,880
That's true. 
That's true. 

287
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,840
But so if, if, if what you want 
right now is somebody to tell 

288
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,720
you no, no, no, it's actually 
OK, you should do Mythic. 

289
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Plus good kind people will want 
to play with you. 

290
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,120
Even if you're learning. 
It's OK to learn. 

291
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,280
It's OK to make mistakes. 
No biggie. 

292
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,120
If it is a biggie to somebody, 
they're a jerk and you should 

293
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,560
cut them out of your life. 
I've heard that's so true. 

294
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Everything that I just said is 
100% correct. 

295
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,480
Go do mythic plus have fun. 
If what you want is somebody to 

296
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,840
tell you it's a, it's a silly 
little video game and if 

297
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,920
anything is not making you feel 
good in it right now, it's OK to

298
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,440
just decide that's not a thing 
you're going to do. 

299
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,960
Whether that's mythic plus, 
whether that's raid, whether 

300
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,920
that's grind gold obviously is 
another one that I don't do. 

301
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,920
Whether that's Delve, babe, I 
got you. 

302
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,880
Don't do the bad. 
Don't do things that feel bad in

303
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,480
a silly video game. 
It's silly video game. 

304
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,040
Go have fun with your silly 
video games and boop, boop, 

305
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,040
boop, boop. 
Have fun. 

306
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,520
Anyway, that's my take of the 
day. 

307
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,920
So I think, yeah, if you're 
enjoying dolls and you're like 

308
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,960
finding your love in that, like 
it's it's a good path. 

309
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,800
And we had the conversation a 
couple episodes back, right 

310
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,840
about the items that you can get
from there and the gearing you 

311
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,720
can get from there. 
And if you're ALT focused, that 

312
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,880
will get you some pieces to fill
in slots and such. 

313
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:03,040
In fact, this season the Delve 
gear has been actually pretty 

314
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,320
solid. 
In fact, two of the trinkets 

315
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,240
from Delves have been quite 
good. 

316
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,080
I mean they're no Sephorium 
trinket, but there is one 

317
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:20,240
trinket that at a heroic level I
think is even including mythic 

318
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560
mythic level trinkets is 
actually quite competitive and 

319
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280
the A tier trinket for 
enhancement shamans. 

320
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,360
And I think for a lot of classes
that like stats, there was also 

321
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,120
a big change with a lot of 
trinkets recently, where the 

322
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,960
proctic trinkets, the trinkets 
that did damage that the ones 

323
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,000
that weren't just giving stats 
are have been buffed. 

324
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,200
And so would have to look at 
those again. 

325
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,120
But yeah, they're like, you can 
get the you can get the gear 

326
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,400
from delves that'll help you 
push through. 

327
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,440
You're playing a Demon Hunter. 
So it is that damage is always 

328
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
going to be good for you in in 
Havoc. 

329
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,760
But going back to the mythic 
plus that we started with, there

330
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,280
were a number of changes over 
the last little a bit now 

331
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,240
multiple days, I think every two
days, every other day we were 

332
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,400
seeing like some sort of changes
for a mythic plus. 

333
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,240
So the 26th, there was one, 
there was one in between. 

334
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,480
There was one that was scheduled
for the reset and stuff came in 

335
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,599
with the reset. 
So we are now seeing some 

336
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:36,000
beautiful hot fixes the in the 
the theater of pain, the Xav the

337
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,880
unfallen crushing slam now has a
proper visual so you could see 

338
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,000
where it's lined up. 
Oh, I like I didn't see these 

339
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,840
hot no, these hot fixes at 1st 
and I was running a dungeon and 

340
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,800
suddenly it's like, wait, 
there's a line there? 

341
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,400
What when the hell it was? 
It was glorious. 

342
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,280
One thing that I thought was 
hilarious that I knew about this

343
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,200
like behavior before and I'm 
kind of glad they fixed it, is 

344
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,560
that dark Fuse demolitionists, 
when they get when they're under

345
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,000
the effect of dominate mind by a
priest, they're not constantly 

346
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:17,040
firing off their big RPG thing 
that had caused wipes because 

347
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,520
just it would pull everything in
like 80 yard radius was causing 

348
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,320
a lot of wipes. 
Now that's being fixed. 

349
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,960
Priests can still mind control 
them, but they won't be going 

350
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,840
absolutely insane. 
Boo but it's being mind 

351
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,280
controlled. 
They should be going absolutely 

352
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,640
insane. 
No, no, you keep them under 

353
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,480
control and Sandy is a separate 
part of priests and only a 

354
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,880
particular flavor of priests. 
There was also where, again in 

355
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,680
theater of pain, the deaf 
speakers that do the death 

356
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,520
winds, those will actually fire 
off in the location in the 

357
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,320
direction they're facing. 
I have seen some poor people who

358
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,320
thought they were safe, but 
unfortunately that storm went 

359
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,840
off in a different direction, 
blowing them right off the 

360
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,000
platform and then causing a 
death, so I'm glad that that got

361
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,800
fixed as well. 
Is there anything in these hot 

362
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,640
fixes that you guys are are 
really happy to see? 

363
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,600
The increased minimum distance 
for swamp face is nice because 

364
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:29,200
often times one of the roots, 
the protruding roots would spawn

365
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,840
like right underneath them. 
It would be really hard to see. 

366
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,200
So now you should be able to see
them. 

367
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,600
They should be far enough 
distance so you'll be able to 

368
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600
see them fully. 
I mean, that's the one I'm 

369
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,840
really excited about. 
I'm I'm always I'm pro hot fix 

370
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,280
all the time. 
Anytime you're making dungeons 

371
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,360
easier or fixing a pain point 
that would make things more 

372
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,640
difficult than needed to be is a
win more to. 

373
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Lose the hot fixes should be on 
Theatre of Pain to fix the pain 

374
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,760
points. 
I see what you. 

375
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,640
Detect. 
I mean. 

376
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,680
I mean the priority of the 
sacred flame, even though it 

377
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:05,440
doesn't have pain in the in the 
name, has had a number of pain 

378
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,600
points. 
I think they did three separate 

379
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:16,000
hot fixes to forge Master Damien
alone because he was just like 

380
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:19,720
he was a slog for some teams and
as the damage went up his 

381
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,720
abilities coming. 
Fast and Furious has have been 

382
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,880
adjusted and I'm glad for that. 
But yeah, I, I, I really do 

383
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,000
think that this season is really
good. 

384
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,280
I'm sorry that you're taking a 
little break from it, but maybe 

385
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,600
with Season 3 you might give it 
another chance. 

386
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,680
Maybe would be fun. 
I would. 

387
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,160
I want to. 
I want a tank. 

388
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,320
It's just the getting to that 
point and feeling like I not 

389
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,800
understand what I'm doing enough
to be having a good time is a is

390
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,000
a bigger gap to bridge than I 
thought it would be. 

391
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,160
I I might suggest, well last 
week was when you did 4 mythic 

392
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,160
zeros and you could get the 
thing, but you could just run it

393
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,360
with as like DPS, see how the 
pools are, get a feel for it. 

394
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Like as Adps, we're less of the 
pressure, you're less of a 

395
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,600
linchpin. 
And then translate that for when

396
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,240
you want to tank and be like, 
OK, let me tank at a lower than 

397
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,080
I'm used to. 
So it's a little more 

398
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,920
comfortable. 
And you already know the pools 

399
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,160
and some of the behaviors and 
stuff. 

400
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,120
And that might be a good way of 
going into it rather than going 

401
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,520
into it really late in the 
season where everybody already 

402
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,920
kind of knows what they're 
doing. 

403
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:35,800
And then it feels bad to like 
not be pulling at the crazy rate

404
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,400
that you might see somebody like
Sean pull. 

405
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,000
Yeah, and I think that's one 
reason why Season 1, I I felt 

406
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,280
like I could dip my toes into 
tanking because I did, I had 

407
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,560
done a lot of DPS already. 
And so I felt like I kind of 

408
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,440
understood the routes. 
And then I learned very quickly 

409
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,680
that I didn't at all. 
But no, I think that's a really 

410
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,200
good idea to like start out in a
thing that would feel a bit less

411
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,000
stressful and then see what 
people are doing and focus on 

412
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,560
learning it. 
Yeah, that totally would work if

413
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,760
I didn't want to snuggle my 
puppy instead of doing that. 

414
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Yeah, the puppy wins. 
I get it. 

415
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,240
I get it. 
OK. 

416
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,400
That's the real thing. 
I really everything right now is

417
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,040
competing like I I I am doing 
just enough that I can 

418
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,200
realistically remain rating and 
any other time I want to 

419
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,800
dedicate to snuggling my puppy. 
I'm surprised you're here right 

420
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,040
now. 
I kind of am too, especially 

421
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,920
since I do have a wireless 
headset, so I could 

422
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,600
hypothetically be recording this
while snuggling my puppy. 

423
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,560
Yeah, that. 
Would be bad for the video. 

424
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,880
So we're, we're gonna, we're 
gonna nip that on the bud. 

425
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,360
But that said, season 3 is 
already in the talks because 

426
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,200
they are asking everybody what 
dungeons they would like to see 

427
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,640
return for season 3. 
So this is a little bit 

428
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,840
different. 
Usually this is a survey kind of

429
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,240
comes for season 4, the extra 
season where we go, oh, what 

430
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,160
classic dungeons would you like 
to come back? 

431
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,600
And then people vote for grid 
rail and I get angry at them. 

432
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,640
But this time I, what did you 
say? 

433
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,680
Like way back when they're all 
WS. 

434
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,600
All we do is win, win, win. 
I feel like all these dungeons 

435
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:12,520
are win, win, win. 
So you can have all of the 

436
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,160
dungeons, including Operation 
Floodgate, which was introduced 

437
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,440
this season, right? 
And suggest which of those 

438
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,800
dungeons will be coming back for
Season 3. 

439
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Now, They didn't say how many of
them will be coming back. 

440
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,400
I would think, I would think 
that it's gonna be 4:00 to 5:00.

441
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,640
I don't think they're gonna have
mostly classic dungeons coming 

442
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,800
back. 
But the top votes of this poll 

443
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,200
will be the ones that are going 
to be returning. 

444
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,920
And then these votes are 
aggregated. 

445
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,840
So if there is a very close near
tie, the Wow development team is

446
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,200
gonna make the call on that. 
And that's most likely to be 

447
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,920
based on like all the criteria 
they normally do. 

448
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:03,240
Now, generally, what dungeons 
are you looking to have come 

449
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,640
back from both Season 1 and 
Season 2? 

450
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,320
Sean, you had you had some 
strong decisions here. 

451
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,640
What's your top dungeon? 
So it's this is a tough, it's a 

452
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,560
tough question. 
And I think the issue is the 

453
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,760
community also doesn't 
understand the question that's 

454
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,400
being asked. 
People are voting for dungeons. 

455
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,720
It seems like people are voting 
for dungeons that they had an 

456
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,560
easy time clearing or in which 
there was a good loot table 

457
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,320
instead of voting for the 
dungeons that are the best 

458
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:39,240
designed. 
So for me, my vote. 

459
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,680
As far as boss fights go, the 
top two best dungeons from the 

460
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,600
World Within pool are easily 
Operation Floodgate and Dark 

461
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Flame Cleft. 
You cannot. 

462
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,160
And I know Dark Flame Cleft 
caught a lot of heat at the 

463
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,400
start of the season or pre 
season when people were 

464
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,440
convinced that the Minecraft 
section was going to be doomed. 

465
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,200
And it's not. 
Blizzard made it so that it 

466
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,240
wasn't. 
It's still not. 

467
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,040
It's it's it's probably my 
favorite dungeon this season. 

468
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:09,760
And the boss fights are so 
incredibly well designed that 

469
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,760
they can even be completed if 
you don't fully understand the 

470
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,440
mechanics of them. 
I watched a Demon Hunter friend 

471
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,240
of mine complete a + 15 and he 
had no idea how the boss 

472
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,440
mechanics worked on the candle 
boss or on the last month. 

473
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,280
And I was like in the call 
watching explaining to him as it

474
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,000
was happening. 
Like no, you're going you want 

475
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680
to light as many candles as you 
can so that you have less of the

476
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,480
dot anyway. 
So those those those one of 

477
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,120
those two should be people's 
picks because they're super well

478
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,320
designed, they're fun, and the 
the boss fights are good. 

479
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,200
If you're looking for speed, 
then you want to maybe vote for 

480
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,640
the Rookery. 
The Rookery is by far the 

481
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,160
fastest dungeon to complete. 
Also very fun, the last boss 

482
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,160
there can be difficult if DPS 
don't realize that they don't 

483
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,600
have to stand at their spots for
the pillar breaks and the 

484
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,560
pillars aren't there and they 
can come in for healing from 

485
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,000
your preservation of ochre 
because he can't reach you way 

486
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,480
over there. 
Yeah, honestly, there is no you 

487
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,280
did say man, there's no bad 
answer here except maybe City of

488
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,280
threads. 
Nobody wants that so. 

489
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,760
It's a 2% right now, so you're 
right, nobody wants. 

490
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,600
It yeah it's a rough one, but a 
lot of people are heavily voting

491
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,520
for Eric Cara and the Dawn 
Breaker, which were both super 

492
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,000
well received in season 1 and 
it's because they were easily 

493
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,800
timed. 
They both had extremely 

494
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,400
forgiving timers, but I would 
argue that Eric Harris is not a 

495
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,800
super great designed dungeon and
that last boss is kind of a 

496
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,480
nightmare. 
I. 

497
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,240
Hate that one. 
That was that OK our Cara was 

498
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,480
genuinely in season 1, the 
dungeon that made me stop doing 

499
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,440
mythic plus and it was that last
boss, boss specifically. 

500
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,080
I was done after like one night 
of like an hour long pull and I 

501
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,640
was like Nope, we're finished, 
cancelled, it's over. 

502
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,200
Yeah, I get it multiple times, 
like multiple times. 

503
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,880
We will be running 12/13 1212 
and thirteens get to the last 

504
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,760
boss with like 14 minutes left 
and still not time it. 

505
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,560
It's it's wild, wild how it was 
our least consistent dungeon of 

506
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,440
that season. 
And this is not the dungeon's 

507
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,360
fault, but the like the mechanic
with the the blood is bugged 

508
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,280
with it's specifically, first of
all, it's horrible, but it's 

509
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,080
also specifically bugged with 
Demon Hunter leaps where if you 

510
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,960
leap to the other side of the 
blood, it like marks your body. 

511
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,360
Like like the where, where the 
the thing goes is not where you 

512
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:43,120
get stuck. 
So like I, I was spending so 

513
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:45,200
much time trying to figure out 
where my blood was because I 

514
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,760
jumped over it. 
But like, also, that's how the 

515
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,080
Demon Hunter like unless I'm 
running by pressing W or both 

516
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,320
mouse buttons for those of you 
who don't keyboard turn like 

517
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,200
there's, there's literally no 
other way for me to get to where

518
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520
I need to go in time. 
It was terrible. 

519
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,760
That one was really, really 
stressful. 

520
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,000
Yeah, and I I also think people 
might be voting for it because 

521
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Sack Brood was such a strong 
trinket, but every time they 

522
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,600
brought dungeons backs, they've 
they've tuned to the trinkets to

523
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,680
bring them in line. 
So if you're and also when you 

524
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,280
use sacred, you get this weird 
lump on your back. 

525
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,080
I hated it so much. 
Anyway, I voted. 

526
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,560
I voted for the Rookery because 
I did what I said people 

527
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,920
shouldn't do and voted for the 
one that is fast and easy. 

528
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,840
But flame. 
So do as I say, not as I do. 

529
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,640
Dark Flame, Cleft, Operation 
Floodgate are both probably the 

530
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,800
two best designed dungeons from 
The War Within prior to Second 

531
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,520
Flame is gorgeous. 
It's also a lot of fun. 

532
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,040
I think. 
I think that that could be a 

533
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,400
good winner. 
That's third right now. 

534
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,440
Yeah. 
Anyway. 

535
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,920
I voted for cinder brew because 
I think it's it's cute. 

536
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,960
I hate cinder brew meter E 
because I'm stuck in neck hell 

537
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,400
or I was I I got the neck last 
two nights ago. 

538
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,400
I got the neck, but it was like 
30 two runs of cinder brew to 

539
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,880
get that neck, but it is a it is
AII get it If I had only had to 

540
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,120
run it when I got the key. 
It's a fun dungeon. 

541
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,680
It's pretty. 
It reminds me a lot of temple 

542
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,960
the jade serpent because you can
go either direction. 

543
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,000
Obviously you're going towards 
IPA first because you need the 

544
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,680
lust for him, but it's a lot of 
fun and it has some really fun 

545
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,680
boss fights as well. 
I really like bank Busby in 

546
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,120
there and I really also really 
like Goldie bear and bottom. 

547
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,960
Both good fights. 
Although I will say I this is an

548
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,600
issue that I have every time 
World of Warcraft does anything 

549
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,840
involving brewing. 
Although I have less of an issue

550
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,200
with the meadery than I do when 
they talk about beer, where I 

551
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,960
don't think they, first of all, 
I don't think they understand 

552
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560
how brewing works. 
And second of all, I think they 

553
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,560
think that Mead is a beer. 
And it's not. 

554
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,680
It's a with anything, it's a 
wine, which just bothers me. 

555
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,360
Like I, I just like, especially 
the I the IPA. 

556
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,920
I'm like, I get the joke, I get 
the fun, but it's why? 

557
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,960
But it wouldn't it wouldn't be 
an IPA. 

558
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,840
Why? 
Why would there be an IPA and a 

559
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,600
meadery? 
An IPA is a hoppy beer and 

560
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,720
meadery like Mead is a honey 
wine. 

561
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,800
Like what are we doing here? 
What is going on? 

562
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,920
It's. 
An experimental element that 

563
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,200
they made. 
They were experimenting, Lex. 

564
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,560
But I and I, I get that. 
I get that. 

565
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,960
And I, I just, who would put 
like is, are they saying that 

566
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:33,040
they put hops in honey wine? 
Because that sounds terrible 

567
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,440
like, which I guess is why they 
have a big evil. 

568
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,960
I mean like I wouldn't say hops,
he more floats. 

569
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,160
OK, but like but but OK. 
But all of this is better than 

570
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,080
and I swear I'm going to let 
Manny speak in a minute, but I 

571
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,560
just, I just need to get this 
off my chest. 

572
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,680
Blizzard thinks that you brew 
beer within the course of one 

573
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,360
day. 
Like this bothered me so much 

574
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,000
when I was reading the the not 
war crimes. 

575
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,720
The other the the war crimes 
isn't even Pandaria. 

576
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,960
No, it is anyway the, the the 
Pandaria story, the Volgen 

577
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,000
story. 
And like very clearly the author

578
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,880
was under the impression that 
you could like put something 

579
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,560
like a flavoring in a beer and 
that afternoon or within a few 

580
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,800
hours, sometimes you could taste
how it affect did the brew. 

581
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,000
And I just like brewing is like 
at least a month long process. 

582
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,640
Like, what are we? 
It is certainly even even if 

583
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,880
we're talking to faster beers, 
it is not with like you will not

584
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,640
know what that tastes like by 
the end of the goddamn day. 

585
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,600
So I'm chronically annoyed by 
that. 

586
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,760
But it's OK. 
Minnie, what are you voting for?

587
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,440
I haven't made my decision yet. 
I think that like, I wanna see 

588
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,800
something come back from Season 
1 because I'd like to see the 

589
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,640
difference between Season 1 and 
Season 2. 

590
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,040
Like one thing I wanna point out
to everybody is that anything 

591
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,400
coming back from Season 1 is 
gonna be a lot different. 

592
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,760
There's a completely different 
ethos that's involved with like 

593
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720
the way trash is done, how many 
interrupts you need to pull, and

594
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,800
that's going to change the the 
amount of packs that you pull 

595
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,640
together and all and all of 
that. 

596
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,160
The fact that the affixes and 
where they're introduced has 

597
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,080
changed his stuff. 
I'd love to get like a direct 

598
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,080
comparison of some of these 
dungeons, how I experienced them

599
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,320
in Season 1 versus how they look
like with this, with this new 

600
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,200
change in direction of how 
affixes interact with dungeon 

601
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:37,400
mechanics. 
So yeah, like I think that 

602
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,280
Floodgate has some magnificently
designed bosses and it's really 

603
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:48,880
fun, but I would really like to 
see some Season 1 things come 

604
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,240
back and see if they're like, 
OK, well, you know what? 

605
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,520
Like you can pull two of the 
mini bosses together when 

606
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,080
you're, when you are doing 
something like the dawn breaker 

607
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:08,600
or you're not going to be like 
utterly overwhelmed with like 

608
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,920
interrupts when you're going 
through the storm vault. 

609
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,800
Cause the storm vault had just 
packs with multiple casters in 

610
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,080
every single pack. 
And so like, how would they 

611
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,720
change that? 
Like, is it that those effects 

612
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,640
aren't going to be as painful 
and as punishing or they just 

613
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,160
going to like be less frequent? 
Like I just, I want to see that 

614
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,840
as sort of a thought experiment 
sort of thing. 

615
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,400
And all these dungeons are going
to come back later. 

616
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,680
So whatever I I'm going to, I'm 
going to give it a good look 

617
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,080
through and see and see what it 
is. 

618
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,680
But yeah, let us know what you 
guys think. 

619
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,600
Obviously, bit dot LY slash fast
discord like to know what our 

620
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,640
listeners think should be the 
top choices, not necessarily the

621
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,360
entirety of the World of 
Warcraft population. 

622
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:06,080
Now going from that over to our 
next story guys, they've done it

623
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,360
again. 
As much as gear score changed 

624
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,960
the game as much as everybody in
their IO score caused caused 

625
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:24,199
pugging to be a bit more toxic, 
a bit less social, Wowhead and 

626
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:28,040
their subsidiary Arcon have 
decided to create a new add on. 

627
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:30,920
You guys want to talk about 
this? 

628
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,880
Wait. 
Wowhead owns Arcon you. 

629
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,040
Didn't know that I. 
Had no idea. 

630
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,760
Wait, is it Wowhead or is it 
Warcraft logs? 

631
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,159
Warcraft logs. 
Warcraft logs is ARCON. 

632
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,960
Is there a sort of all of them 
are working together? 

633
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,880
I'm not sure. 
Well, it's definitely Warcraft 

634
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,639
logs and Arcon, yeah. 
Arcon is Warcraft logs. 

635
00:34:55,639 --> 00:35:01,160
That's the same company. 
I didn't know Wowhead was 

636
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,200
involved. 
I'm going to double check, but 

637
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,120
tell us about this add on, OK? 
Yeah, so it's it takes your 

638
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,240
parses from heroic and mythic 
and shows it on a tool tip in 

639
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:18,760
game for use when putting 
together pugs for the rates they

640
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,960
are taking Now obviously hear 
that immediately and everybody 

641
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,880
knee jerk reaction is Oh my God 
this is terrible for the game. 

642
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,280
Why would you do this? 
You're going to ruin pug life. 

643
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:36,840
The sky is falling. 
I have a slightly less doomer 

644
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,120
take on it than that because 
this information is already out 

645
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,160
there. 
It already exists. 

646
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Anybody who cared about it when 
building their PUD groups could 

647
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,920
already look it up and see it. 
They are making steps so to try 

648
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,800
to try and balance that 
perception. 

649
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:58,880
So it is your average par score 
among all of your kills in 

650
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,480
heroic and mythic, but it's only
after you've hit certain 

651
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,360
thresholds. 
You have to have 20 heroic boss 

652
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,960
kills before it shows any scores
to allow you to build up sort of

653
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,640
a base so you're not being 
judged off of 1 bad prog parse. 

654
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:18,480
And 20 boss clears is just about
3 clears of the Raiders. 8 

655
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:24,160
bosses in the raid. 
So 8 * 3 is what, 18 maths hard?

656
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Nope, 24. 
So yeah, just about 3 clears of 

657
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,440
the raid and two and a half 
clears. 

658
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,120
And for Mythic, because mythic 
kills are a lot harder to come 

659
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,600
by and not ever experience it, 
it's only 5 kills. 

660
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,840
So you start to see parses at 5 
kills. 

661
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,200
If you've killed the boss on 
mythic but you haven't gotten 5 

662
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,640
kills, I'll show you a heroic 
parse and say it's heroic. 

663
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,520
You can opt out of this. 
However, opting out means you 

664
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,880
hide your parses on Warcraft 
logs. 

665
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,480
And if we're being honest, if 
somebody's opted out, it's going

666
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,080
to be the same as if your score 
was low. 

667
00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:00,160
So opting out won't really 
increase your chances of getting

668
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,560
into a group of anybody who was 
using this to determine their 

669
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,120
group anyway. 
But they they are. 

670
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,840
And it also hides your purses on
Warcraft logs so you're the only

671
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,560
one who sees them. 
They are aware that people want 

672
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,840
to be able to opt out of the add
on but still be available on 

673
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,440
Warcraft logs. 
I believe they said they were 

674
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,000
working on that. 
I know people are really upset 

675
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,360
about this. 
I don't pug a ton. 

676
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,080
I do pug a little bit of the 
raid on alts. 

677
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,360
I don't personally think this is
going to have the impact that 

678
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:36,320
Twitter or the overarching 
Warcraft community thinks it's 

679
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,880
going to have. 
I think anybody who truly cared 

680
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,640
that much about parses when 
building pug groups for heroic 

681
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:54,320
was already looking them up or 
using another metric to to judge

682
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,640
you on, and I just don't think 
it's going to have the impact 

683
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,720
that people think it is. 
It you. 

684
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,920
It doesn't even exist for normal
pugs. 

685
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,840
So like it doesn't show normal 
prices at all. 

686
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,720
So you shouldn't have any issue 
if you're like a more casual 

687
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:11,760
player. 
I don't know. 

688
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,680
I I know people are upset, so go
ahead Lex. 

689
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,440
Yeah, so I was going to say, I 
guess the one thing that I would

690
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,680
push really question. 
So I, I, we don't really pug at 

691
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,360
all. 
I I, I would mean I'm scared of 

692
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,080
doing random mythic classes. 
I'm certainly not going to put 

693
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,360
myself at the mercy of a a 
random pugged raid. 

694
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,400
And my team as a general rule, 
does not mess with pugging just 

695
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,680
because there, there are 
exceptions. 

696
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,160
But like usually if we're at a 
point where we need to pug, we 

697
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,960
just don't because we just, we, 
we are very protective of the 

698
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,040
community and the vibes and the 
energy we have. 

699
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,200
And we would hate for that to 
feel like to, to have somebody 

700
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,360
invited in who ruins that for a 
night. 

701
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,240
So this doesn't really affect 
me. 

702
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,000
The one I guess thing that I 
would just say though, is, yeah,

703
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,800
you can go look at logs. 
You can search people for logs. 

704
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:09,720
But I guess it, for me, it's 
like I question that people do. 

705
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,160
And I I understand like, yeah, 
like all this information is 

706
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,120
publicly available, but surely 
there's a difference. 

707
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,040
Sorry, not that that felt when I
the minute that started coming 

708
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,160
out of my mouth, I was like, 
this feels aggressive for 

709
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,160
something that I don't actually 
fight about, that I don't know 

710
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,040
anything about. 
I guess I feel like I would 

711
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,400
never in my life when I was 
making pug groups for M plus 

712
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,120
before, I would never have gone 
to radar IO and search people's 

713
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,400
names while I have like 50 
different applicants coming in 

714
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,200
every second, right? 
But if they're going to give me 

715
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,640
a score number, I don't really 
have a ton else to go on. 

716
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,400
It's like I'm, you know, it's 
right there in my face, right? 

717
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,160
And so I guess I, my thinking is
like, yeah, but like who 

718
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,400
actually does go look at 
Warcraft logs? 

719
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,760
And on the other hand, if it's 
right there on your face, like, 

720
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,960
are you going to ignore their 
persons and be like, no, I'm 

721
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,720
going to go with this other 
person who I also have zero 

722
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:58,760
additional information about but
the number. 

723
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,880
And and maybe that's OK, right? 
Maybe good people should get 

724
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,360
into groups more. 
Maybe like that's not inherently

725
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:10,240
unfair. 
I didn't change things, right? 

726
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,720
I don't. 
Yeah, I I see, I see your point.

727
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:14,320
It is I I definitely understand 
that. 

728
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,320
Like, I could go. 
This will this will make people 

729
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,520
who wouldn't take the effort to 
go look up a score be able to 

730
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,360
go, oh, well, I'm going to take 
this person instead of that 

731
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,920
person, even though they've both
killed the same number of 

732
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,840
bosses. 
This person has a better score 

733
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,200
and they're better at it. 
Could you make the argument that

734
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,160
it will then make pug groups 
naturally form that are among 

735
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,920
equal skill level instead of 
having a vast skill? 

736
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,040
Maybe it'll make it. 
Here we go, here's a here's a 

737
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,240
hope PM take that I'm sure will 
go really well. 

738
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,920
Maybe this will make pug groups 
less toxic because instead of 

739
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,960
having extremely skilled players
mixed with less skilled players,

740
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,840
and then those players getting 
Madden, the less skilled players

741
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,920
make mistakes. 
The extremely skilled players 

742
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,040
will only play with other 
extremely skilled players, and 

743
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,200
the players that fall the next 
tier down will all group 

744
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,480
together because they'll be able
to see their gear scores and so 

745
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,800
instead of being toxic with each
other, they'll be understanding 

746
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,320
because they're all at the same 
level. 

747
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,160
We'll actually say to to add to 
that hope. 

748
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,960
Maybe I shouldn't admit this, 
but when I do pug mythic plus I 

749
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,640
usually will not take people 
with top scores because they 

750
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,760
scare me and I don't want them 
to get mad at me. 

751
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,560
Oh my God, I'm right. 
Let's just confirm I'm right, 

752
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:20,000
Andy. 
What do you think? 

753
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Do you think this will make the 
pug scene less toxic? 

754
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,560
No. 
What? 

755
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,120
Like Lex is right, like it's in 
front of you. 

756
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,600
So you'll go with the person 
with the highest score. 

757
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:33,760
That will change people's 
behaviors. 

758
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,680
This is raid, So what will 
people do? 

759
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,880
They'll pad their scores to go 
for to go for the highest score 

760
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,360
instead of doing mechanics. 
Now you'll get a bunch of people

761
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,080
who are concerned about doing 
the damage instead of mechanic. 

762
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,120
Raids these days require people 
do to do mechanics. 

763
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,840
There's going to be this entire 
thing of like come on guys, give

764
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,520
me the Pi as bad as it was 
before when like we were in farm

765
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,000
mode and it's like, oh man, give
me all the PIS. 

766
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,440
Let's do this. 
I'm hoping because it is 

767
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,520
Warcraft logs that if you get 
too many PIS, it just won't show

768
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,360
up on the add on that they will 
include that that filter into 

769
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,360
this because they already have a
thing where you can go. 

770
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:17,200
Hey, I don't need this thing 
with the PIS on this many people

771
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,200
giving me the buffs from this 
many drag theares, whatever, 

772
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,720
right? 
I happen to be the guy who never

773
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:26,440
got picked to go on the the 
balls. 

774
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,440
And so I just got to do A0A 0E. 
I did a bunch of superfluous 

775
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,440
cleave damage on X&Y fight. 
So I've got the parse, but like 

776
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,360
my team didn't care. 
So now this allows me to pug. 

777
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,120
Why are you even in pugs if your
team's already doing this, 

778
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,920
Claire? 
I don't know, but like there's 

779
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,000
just parses were already 
susceptible to abuse. 

780
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,520
Making it so that your 
invitation now now gets 

781
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,880
reflected by your parse and more
people are going to be looking 

782
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:59,200
at your parse is just inviting 
the behavior that I just don't 

783
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:05,360
want and I do think. 
Will it incentivize people to 

784
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,640
learn the fights and play better
to get better scores? 

785
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,000
I'm getting better. 
Hold on. 

786
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,400
I just, I need to be super clear
for both my Co hosts and 

787
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,280
everybody who's listening right 
now screaming at their their 

788
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,760
stereos. 
I obviously know what's going to

789
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,680
happen when this add on comes 
out, but we can't all just sit 

790
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,040
here and be like this add on's 
garbage. 

791
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,200
Maybe it'll be OK. 
Let's be today. 

792
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:38,360
But everybody knows that you can
pad damage in so many fights in 

793
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,640
this raid. 
They do actually negate a lot of

794
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,800
the ad damage. 
It doesn't count for purses. 

795
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,080
Sure, right. 
Like that, that helps if I am a 

796
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:53,480
funnel if I'm a funnel character
does naturally it like it helps 

797
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,720
to offset some of it right? 
If I decide to tunnel on the 

798
00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:02,280
boss so I can get 100% up time 
and not turn and kill the kill 

799
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,000
the ads in one in one armed 
bandit. 

800
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,880
Holy crap, I I need those parses
to be like immediately removed. 

801
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,440
If you are not doing like 1520% 
of your damage on those ads, 

802
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,880
just your parse is great 
immediately. 

803
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,160
And like, do I want to put that 
on Warcraft logs that you need 

804
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,240
to police your logs because now 
you're affecting people's 

805
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:29,600
ability to even play the game. 
Their choice to make it right, 

806
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,000
the but like, I just know bad 
behavior is going to rule the 

807
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:38,480
day because people aren't going 
to look deeper in the logs. 

808
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,920
And I think that the people who 
did look deep in the logs, that 

809
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,920
took the time to go to the logs 
and say, oh, this is a problem. 

810
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,200
Let me not look at their parts, 
but actually go and see, hey, 

811
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,840
did they actually do this right?
That takes away from the people 

812
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,200
who were going just to Warcraft 
logs, right? 

813
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:59,360
And now there's a bigger portion
who will lazily look at the 

814
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:03,160
orange parse and be like, yeah, 
even though that orange parse 

815
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:08,760
might be a complete red herring.
So I have a question that I'm 

816
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:15,000
trying to answer as we speak 
because as much as I I totally 

817
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,360
agree with everything you're 
saying, Manny and I like, I 

818
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,760
can't make a good argument for 
why this shouldn't exist, but I 

819
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,360
think that it shouldn't, right? 
I think that I think that bad 

820
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,920
players should be allowed to 
have fun. 

821
00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:27,520
And that's not a good enough 
reason for us not to have ways 

822
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,200
to know if players are bad. 
But it's for me, in my heart and

823
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,960
soul it is. 
But I kind of have I'm I'm 

824
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:42,000
curious how much hugging raid 
actually happens, right? 

825
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,640
So I just want to know, Oh my 
God, my computer needs to load 

826
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:52,120
faster because I want to know at
8:17 PM EST on a Tuesday how 

827
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,400
many heroic pug groups there are
right now. 

828
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,960
And maybe it'll be a lot, and 
I'll be about to. 

829
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,280
Look, depends on the season, 
depends on like where you are in

830
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,840
the season, depends on the day, 
right? 

831
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,520
But like, yeah, it could be a 
lot earlier. 

832
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:14,040
And then of course trail off. 
Like it depends on on a lot of 

833
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,840
things there. 
But like also I could see a 

834
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,800
fight where it's like I go in 
there and I die immediately. 

835
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,840
And now Lex is stressed out of 
her and out of her mind. 

836
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,720
She's normally with with like 
people who are competent 

837
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:34,440
healers, right? 
And because she's down a healer 

838
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,080
from like the get go because I 
just ran myself into the 

839
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,360
garbage. 
Her log is like huge, right, 

840
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,600
Because she's doing way more 
healing or some idiot is like 

841
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,720
running into like every 
everything and you're keeping me

842
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:50,280
alive. 
And so like, hey, your your law 

843
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,560
gets utterly inflated. 
But that devalues all the other 

844
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,800
logs from teams that work 
together. 

845
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,360
And so the the damage wasn't 
that much like that also would 

846
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,680
affects logs if you are burning 
through the boss super fast and 

847
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,400
nobody takes any damage or you 
have a longer fight and people 

848
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,280
take a lot of damage, that also 
effects healer logs, not even 

849
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,040
including DPS logs. 
Oh. 

850
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,640
I, I'm done heel leading and I 
will say until the day I die, 

851
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,480
the healer parses are not. 
So I, I was thinking about this 

852
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,360
only as ADPS parse, right? 
I think DPS parses, there's a 

853
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,160
lot of So first of all, I'm 
going to quickly interrupt 

854
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,680
myself and say there, there were
a lot of pugs. 

855
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:25,920
So I was completely, I was a 
liar. 

856
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,680
A ton of people are pugging and 
it's absolutely going to have an

857
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,840
effect on the the game as well. 
So you make an add on if there 

858
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,240
was no word audience for it so 
it makes sense. 

859
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,520
True, Absolutely. 
Yeah, in retrospect I'm being 

860
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,240
silly DPS person. 
As somebody who's played healer 

861
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:44,200
and DPS and who was raid LED 
primarily healing but like to 

862
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:50,720
some degree DPS ING, I DPS parts
are are fairly meaningful right?

863
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:54,240
Because the thing about DPS is 
that you can in like from when 

864
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:57,720
the start the fight starts to 
when the fight ends, you can 

865
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,160
engage in your action. 
And if everyone is like burning 

866
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:07,680
that like against the the boss, 
it will simply end sooner, 

867
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,640
right? 
There's no cap to the amount of 

868
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,480
damage you can do other than the
boss dying. 

869
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,400
So DPS parts I think are very 
meaningful. 

870
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:18,960
Healing parses I will always say
are incredibly complicated 

871
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,200
because there is a hard cap to 
the amount of HP like HPS that 

872
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,040
can go out. 
And that hard cap is your team's

873
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,600
damage. 
Just like you're saying Manny 

874
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,240
right? 
So a team that takes a lot of 

875
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:36,320
damage does like like healers 
can literally put out more heals

876
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,840
per second. 
If your team, if nobody is is 

877
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,560
getting in a single mechanic in 
your in in in a boss fight, your

878
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,440
healers parses inherently will 
be lower, right? 

879
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,840
Because, but like they, they, 
they simply cannot put out as 

880
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,720
many heels per second. 
There's not there's nothing else

881
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:55,160
to heal. 
They healed it all. 

882
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,720
They're up to 100. 
We had a like one reason that I 

883
00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:02,440
started learning how to do some 
DPS on my priest is because on 

884
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,200
my team we have a few like 
absolute rock star healers. 

885
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,200
And to be fair, first of all, if
anyone on my team is listening, 

886
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,360
you're old rock stars. 
I love you all. 

887
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,920
I'm so proud of you all. 
You're incredible and I love 

888
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,720
you. 
But we had some people who were 

889
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,160
burning right, like hitting like
parses in the 90s frequently. 

890
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:21,760
And what that meant is that my 
little, you know, mid level 

891
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,720
healer, but was getting grey 
parses, not because my skill 

892
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:28,640
significantly dropped, but 
because the amount of the damage

893
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,560
that existed in the raid was 
going down, right. 

894
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,120
The really incredible healers 
meant that I literally did not 

895
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,960
have heals to heal. 
They, they, they were gone. 

896
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,200
They were, the damage is 0. 
It's OK. 

897
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,360
Like I, I had to learn to do 
something else. 

898
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,920
So yes, I think with in, in, in 
terms of DPSI think I, I do hear

899
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,360
you. 
I think that like the risk, 

900
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,080
especially of people who 
primarily pug just refusing to 

901
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,280
do mechanics because they want 
to maximize their DPSI think 

902
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,440
that's a a big danger. 
But I do actually really agree. 

903
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,560
I think the people who don't 
understand healing and don't 

904
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,000
understand healing parses or 
just the fact that you have a 

905
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,160
limited amount of information 
and now you have a number and 

906
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,600
it's hard not to follow the 
number. 

907
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,000
Even if you tell yourself that 
you're too, like you understand 

908
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,200
the nuance behind the number. 
I think that that would be 

909
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,600
really damaging to healing pugs.
Absolutely. 

910
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,320
And the problem is that not 
everybody who is looking at that

911
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,840
add on with that number is going
to understand many of these 

912
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,480
little intricacies. 
And I think that the people who 

913
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:32,520
had taken the time to go, I'm 
gonna go to their logs, there is

914
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,440
a small subsection of players 
who would do that. 

915
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:41,480
And of those players, there was 
a meaningful subsection of that 

916
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,640
subsection that would actually 
take the time and look at your 

917
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,640
parts and be like, this guy 
better not be fluffing the logs 

918
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,000
or blah, blah, blah. 
And would actually know that 

919
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,840
because if you're on Warcraft 
logs at that level, I think 

920
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:59,840
you're there is a better chance 
that you are going to be looking

921
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,200
at these filtered information 
than somebody who's grabbing it 

922
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,280
from an add on. 
They're not going to then take 

923
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,880
the time to look for a filtered 
information because I don't 

924
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,680
believe this add on even 
provides that option. 

925
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,400
And if it doesn't, then you're 
already going to logs and and 

926
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,720
therefore, what is this serving 
a newer audience that may not 

927
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:21,560
use it in the proper way? 
But I do want to say before we 

928
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:29,800
go any further, Arcon, they are 
not part of Wowhead. 

929
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,360
But what what I'm remembering is
that they used to be, you know, 

930
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,640
Warcraft logs, FF logs, ESO 
logs, they all went under the 

931
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,080
same name and that's when they 
and they merged together under 

932
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,960
the Archon name. 
So the the way the add on is 

933
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,800
functioning now, if you're a 
Warcraft Logs Patreon 

934
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,760
subscriber, you are a premium 
member. 

935
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,280
It might not be Patreon anymore.
You you get to see the full 

936
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,880
breakdown. 
Like you see the the Vexy score,

937
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,400
you see the Carlton O'Connor 
score for each player, but if 

938
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,240
you're not a subscriber, you 
just see their average score for

939
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:07,880
the raid. 
So you don't get the individual 

940
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,160
boss breakdown. 
I do have a question though. 

941
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,400
This is for the listeners. 
I want you guys to and you too 

942
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,920
as well, although I think I know
what you guys are going to say. 

943
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,160
But for the listeners, I want 
you to be really, truly honest 

944
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,280
with yourself. 
If you are putting together a 

945
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,720
pug with the intent of clearing 
the raid, are you not just a 

946
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:31,840
little bit grateful that now you
have some measure of the skill 

947
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,760
of the people you're inviting 
instead of the complete random 

948
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:40,760
chance from before? 
Yeah, I think that the one thing

949
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,880
that I do want to say is I don't
have an issue with Arcon for 

950
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,760
this. 
I think there was never a world 

951
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,280
where this wasn't going to come 
out like eventually there was 

952
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,920
going to be a way to look at and
like I don't like it. 

953
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:53,320
But again, most of the reason 
that I don't like this and I 

954
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,960
don't like IO score and I don't 
like like it's just because I 

955
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,640
think that bad people should be 
able to play the game too. 

956
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:04,160
And that's not a good argument. 
And I under like as a as a raid 

957
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,840
leader, obviously I would like 
good people when I'm pugging. 

958
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,640
I just as a it's a bad, I am 
protective of bad players. 

959
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,240
And that's a terrible argument 
to not have a feature. 

960
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,200
And I get that, especially in a 
in a MMO. 

961
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,400
So like objectively that is not 
a feasible argument to keep 

962
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,840
things like this from coming 
along. 

963
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,280
But yeah, yeah, it's like, I can
argue about how it's harmful to 

964
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,160
the community as a whole, but 
you, yeah, people are going to 

965
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,160
want information when they're 
making pugs. 

966
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,920
And especially, you know, I 
would also love if we could have

967
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,320
a nice score, although I 
immediately understand why that 

968
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,760
would be complicated. 
But alas, they don't. 

969
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,760
We haven't devolved into social.
Would we call it? 

970
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,040
Would we call it Nico or Kindo? 
I don't. 

971
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,160
I know. 
What's your Kindo score, Lex? 

972
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,800
You're a 99, by the way, and 
Kindo Manny's a solid. 

973
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,800
Manny's a solid 96 1/2. 
No, Manny, he's so much nicer 

974
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,280
than. 
Me Manny is giving me a look 

975
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,600
right now every time. 
I suggest that this add on might

976
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:15,360
be OK I think. 
They're trying social scores 

977
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,920
over in China. 
I don't think that's going too 

978
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,720
well. 
Going to be clear, not not a 

979
00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:23,040
fan, not I I don't I I 
understand why a kind score 

980
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,360
would actually be really 
problematic and would probably 

981
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,360
lead to more toxicity. 
Oh no, I don't. 

982
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,520
I think in the video game it 
works out wonderful. 

983
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,400
I think that you maintain a 
certain average and you for your

984
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,520
kind score and that allows you a
bunch of extra tenders and 

985
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,320
suddenly everybody's sucking my 
ass. 

986
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:48,880
Anyways, we will have to push 
through this raid and I'm glad 

987
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,080
that. 
This, yeah. 

988
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:54,840
Manny, what's the question? 
Again, if if if you're a raid 

989
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:59,760
lead pugging people, are you not
a little grateful that this 

990
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:04,080
exists? 
So I'm part of the dungeon Dojo.

991
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,520
I actively look for people who 
want to learn, not people who 

992
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,600
are already having learned the 
dungeon or the raid. 

993
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:18,680
Like I would rather go do a 
mythic 0 and struggle through 

994
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,240
with somebody so that they learn
it, then get caked walked 

995
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:24,680
through a 12 or get carried 
through a 15. 

996
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,600
I've never done a 15. 
I am just starting to time 10s. 

997
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:34,440
I don't care to like run and get
like 10 done in like 18 minutes 

998
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,720
flat and get my portal and be 
like, yeah, like I know people 

999
00:55:37,720 --> 00:55:42,080
want the easiest path forward. 
That's why this this exists. 

1000
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:47,440
It's like, oh, now I don't have 
to to type a, a name into 

1001
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,040
Warcraft logs. 
It can just be thrown right in 

1002
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,160
front of me. 
But I know what the cost of that

1003
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,520
is. 
I know what raid Finder did in 

1004
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,360
terms of community. 
I know what LFG did in terms of 

1005
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,640
community. 
I understand that there's a very

1006
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:07,360
real cost for this, even if the 
convenience factor makes the 

1007
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,920
people say like, yeah, I'll take
the the offshoot used to be that

1008
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,920
like I would have terrible 
dungeons back in the Barrens 

1009
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,440
coming from the crossroads, 
getting every everybody together

1010
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,080
so we could, we could walk 
uphill both ways to go get 

1011
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,480
through that dungeon, right. 
But I love that. 

1012
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,160
I love to like finding friends 
and stuff and and like one 

1013
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,960
person going to me and be like, 
dude, why are you wearing that? 

1014
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,080
I'm like, because it matches. 
It's like it's all graze. 

1015
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,680
The stats suck. 
Oh, right. 

1016
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,360
I like I love that introduction.
I loved when Warcraft was more 

1017
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,640
of a social game. 
And I get that people want to 

1018
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,200
find a way to not even have to 
like, acknowledge the existence 

1019
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,080
of people and look at a number, 
but it's going to suffer. 

1020
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,520
Right. 
And like, yeah, maybe you'll get

1021
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,720
the loot that much faster 
because you got EP Mcsween up on

1022
00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:04,400
your raid. 
I've done a dungeon with him, 

1023
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:05,920
he's actually pretty good at 
mechanics. 

1024
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,040
He's a blowhard, we don't need 
him. 

1025
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,280
But you lose something in it, 
right? 

1026
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,880
That's it. 
That's my answer to it. 

1027
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,000
OK, that's a good answer. 
I like that. 

1028
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:22,720
But last thing I want to talk 
about is, yeah, we are four 

1029
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:34,720
weeks in, I completed my rank 20
of Undermine Rep, but we are now

1030
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:39,000
just getting to level. 
I think it's six in the raid 

1031
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,720
cash. 
I'm sure some people have been 

1032
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,440
doing full Claire's and may have
gone further than me. 

1033
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,520
Did I full Claire weak one? 
I can't recall. 

1034
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:54,000
Anyways, yeah, there's a we are 
now one week away from getting 

1035
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:59,400
6% damage amp, but this week we 
got what I think is the best 

1036
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,640
thing ever, which is the cartel 
jumper cables. 

1037
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,400
Have you guys jumped into the 
raid and used this? 

1038
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,280
I haven't used it yet, but we 
did talk about it last night as 

1039
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,280
we death skipped past all of the
ridiculous amounts of trash to 

1040
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,920
one armed bandit. 
But we had a that. 

1041
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,360
Skip is glorious. 
Yeah, it's insane. 

1042
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,200
I there's so much trash in this 
raid. 

1043
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,360
It is. 
I'm I'm enjoying the trash, 

1044
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,320
though. 
I like other than Oh my God, the

1045
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,280
ones that like run me over the 
road. 

1046
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,920
I just other than them. 
I'm OK with it because we hunt 

1047
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,680
down like the rares because you 
get extra Rep from them. 

1048
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,640
Yeah, the boes of being kind of 
nice and lucrative. 

1049
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,160
So I'm not tired of the trash. 
Do you feel like the season has 

1050
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:47,880
just like ended so quickly? 
Well, no, we we. 

1051
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,720
For me, it ends when we get CE. 
So it hasn't we're we're Sean 

1052
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,960
and. 
Mandy and I have AOT 3 already. 

1053
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,040
I'm Sean and Mandy, and I feel 
like we've reached the end of 

1054
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,080
the season already. 
I do feel like I do feel like 

1055
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,360
the season is moving at a faster
pace than last season, but it's 

1056
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:12,520
because they made Mythic Plus so
easy and that's not a complaint.

1057
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,400
Faster if you're listening. 
I love it. 

1058
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,760
But the plus should be easy. 
I want to log in. 

1059
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,560
I'm the guy man to talk to, but 
I want to log in. 

1060
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,600
I want to do my a 10s. 
I wanted to take 18 minutes and 

1061
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:22,960
then I want to go bow my dad 
snuggle. 

1062
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,200
Your puppy. 
Yeah, so I can be. 

1063
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,400
I'm going to go sluggle my 
puppy. 

1064
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,000
It does feel like the season has
gone by fast. 

1065
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,360
I feel. 
I actually felt this a lot last 

1066
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:38,880
season 2 and I felt that every 
season since Sepulchre and maybe

1067
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:40,880
it's just because I'm getting 
older and that's how time works,

1068
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,040
but I feel. 
Like been a shift in 

1069
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,600
dragonflight so sepulchre sounds
like the right time that it. 

1070
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,920
Happened yeah it feels like 
every season is getting just 

1071
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:55,320
shorter and shorter like we're 
going to have 11 point 1.5 in 26

1072
00:59:55,320 --> 01:00:00,320
days so that's crazy to me did. 
They do the official 

1073
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,040
announcement. 
They didn't, but it's everybody 

1074
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:04,760
on the planet. 
Everybody's I know, everybody's 

1075
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:09,160
been guessing at it. 
Yeah, I don't it's like the 

1076
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,800
least the worst kept secret. 
Once Tower Lee or Max says it, 

1077
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,040
you can lock it in because for 
some reason Blizzard just keeps 

1078
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,040
telling them stuff. 
Then they just keep telling us. 

1079
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,800
Yeah, so it's it does feel like 
it's going fast. 

1080
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,040
Now what? 
You have to start pulling the 

1081
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,920
trash in that rate. 
Oh my God, there's a lot of 

1082
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:32,520
trash in that rate. 
I am also I'm glad that you're 

1083
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,520
having fun with it, Manny. 
We at I might have complained 

1084
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:37,560
about this on this podcast 
already. 

1085
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,920
I'm trying to remember why I 
remember talking about this 

1086
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,320
verbally. 
But we at Timbermod Tavern are 

1087
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:48,400
traumatized by the trash because
we always mostly me, but we do 

1088
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,360
have a tendency to like have 
death pulls. 

1089
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,200
We're like, we're like we have 
to call people back to escort 

1090
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,240
the fools, namely me, nobody 
else. 

1091
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:57,920
Everyone else is sorry, the 
fool. 

1092
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,920
The one fool is me. 
Nobody else has ever had a had a

1093
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,360
trash pull. 
Don't worry, don't think about 

1094
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,880
it. 
But we have like like escort 

1095
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,960
people to the next boss because 
we can't get through without 

1096
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,600
pulling trash. 
So I'm traumatized by this. 

1097
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,760
This tears trash. 
We've had that too, especially 

1098
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,400
once you're you're done with 
bunk junker and it's like, oh 

1099
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,200
wait, we can't go directly to 
the next boss. 

1100
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,000
You have to go through six month
junker. 

1101
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,160
Cuz we came in one way and then 
out the other. 

1102
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,840
Which meant that like if you try
and make a direct bull, you're 

1103
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,120
gonna bring everybody to us. 
And yeah, there was like a 

1104
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:33,080
couple of times where it's like,
OK, I'm gonna die in front of 

1105
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,880
the boss so that you guys don't 
get into combat and then you can

1106
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,400
res me. 
So it's not just you. 

1107
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,000
You're not the only fool. 
I'm a fool too, OK? 

1108
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,880
I can't figure out raid maps. 
I don't know what's wrong with 

1109
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,120
my brain that makes it so I can 
never get my bearings in a raid.

1110
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,520
But the number of times this has
been happening since the 

1111
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:54,440
Denathrius raid where I just 
like people like everyone else 

1112
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,080
is going and it's a very normal 
direction and there should be no

1113
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,880
way for me to get lost. 
And I'm over in like God damn 

1114
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,480
Narnia trying to figure out how 
to get back into World of 

1115
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,440
Warcraft. 
Like I cannot handle it. 

1116
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,640
I mean Narnia was the 5th 
covenant so I get it. 

1117
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:16,840
I I genuinely think that the 
raids because you can go from 

1118
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,120
like different boss to different
boss. 

1119
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:19,680
It's not a straight line like it
used to be. 

1120
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,200
Nobody got lost in like Amir 
Dressil. 

1121
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,120
It was like, go right, go left, 
go straight, we're good. 

1122
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:32,920
This is a full on city map that 
they have converted into a raid.

1123
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:37,720
And yes, you can go down the 
wrong St., end up down the wrong

1124
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:43,600
alley, and then suddenly it's 
like, give me your wings, Demon 

1125
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,560
Hunter, and you're gonna have to
start from the get go again. 

1126
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,680
Listen, just give me Bo ES for 
it, give me a BOE chance for it,

1127
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,560
make it so that I get to say in 
my Guild child like ha ha. 

1128
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,960
Sorry guys, I just want us to 
get a chance for more Bo ES. 

1129
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,360
Like you can that's what they're
the mini bosses are some. 

1130
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,160
People are definitely the mini 
bosses do it, but I want the 

1131
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,440
regular trash to do it so I 
don't feel like a freaking idiot

1132
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,400
when I pull the regular trash. 
Can regular trash drop it? 

1133
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,280
I think it's no, it's just the 
yeah, just the mini bosses. 

1134
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:16,520
OK, Yeah, sorry, sorry, Lex. 
I will say though, earlier we 

1135
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,120
did get that silver card, so 
when you're going back to the 

1136
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,080
Glaggio, you can just use that 
and teleport right back. 

1137
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,680
That might be a good way. 
We use that a lot. 

1138
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,160
OK, my team only started using 
it this week. 

1139
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,400
A silver card from Rick Reverb. 
So then I can go to six bunk 

1140
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,240
junker with less distance and 
then I just kill myself after 

1141
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:41,080
Sprocket monger and I think 
because I have to do the one 

1142
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,520
abandoned trash. 
So you, you've been, you've been

1143
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,280
maxed, it is what you're saying.
Yeah. 

1144
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,880
And then we. 
Just like I don't even want to 

1145
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,920
walk because you're not going to
get on the fast mount too, 

1146
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:51,360
right? 
You're on. 

1147
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,360
Slow down. 
No, yeah, I don't use the car. 

1148
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,480
I don't hate the car anymore. 
I don't remember if I gave that 

1149
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:56,880
update. 
I did shipping and handling and 

1150
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,640
made me not hate the car. 
And I actually kind of enjoy 

1151
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,400
shipping and handling when it 
gives me a little arrow and says

1152
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,560
hey, go here and do a thing. 
But I don't use it on side of 

1153
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,120
that. 
I'm really, in all honesty, I'm 

1154
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,160
only in the Undermine to go from
the teleporter to the raid. 

1155
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,640
And then I heard back, that's 
it. 

1156
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,680
Sometimes I go and do the delve 
that's there. 

1157
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,760
I don't do I, I do nothing else 
in Undermine but. 

1158
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:27,640
But yeah, I, I am, I am of the 
opinion that the season's gone 

1159
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:31,800
by incredibly fast, so I am 
looking forward to 11 point 1.5.

1160
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,440
So let's see what happens. 
We're going to get that pretty 

1161
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,120
soon and we should try and talk 
about that next episode, 

1162
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:42,080
assuming there's no big news. 
But until next time guys, may 

1163
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:43,160
all your hits be crits.
