1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,200
I am just really sad that we're 
only going to play four of these

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,360
in the first season and then not
see them again. 

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,000
Like think about a dungeon like 
Stone Vault. 

4
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,080
Stone Vault was great. 
We saw it in season 1 and now 

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,760
it's gone. 
And if you didn't get the 

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,160
Mountain Season 1, you have to 
wait until midnight. 

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,560
For Lauderon. 
For the Karen Tour for Pandaria.

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,320
For calendar. 
To the burning region. 

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,240
For Gilnaeus, but has not died 
for the Lich King. 

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,920
For the. 
Sindora for the Alliance, for 

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,840
the Horde, For Azeroth. 
Hello and welcome back to 

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,480
another episode of For Azeroth. 
I am one of your hosts, Manny. 

13
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:55,280
I am joined by Lex and Sean, and
I've got to ask you guys, 

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,800
starting with you, Lex, what in 
the world did you think of the 

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Midnight Cinematic? 
I thought it was really cool and

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,319
exciting. 
I was extremely confused about 

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,840
it until my guildies explained 
it to me, so thank you. 

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,480
Shout out to them for knowing 
more. 

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,400
But I like the like good vibes. 
Right? 

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,960
Big void Walker or void? 
Yeah, void Walker. 

21
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,680
That little guy. 
I think he's not a void Walker 

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,600
because he's not currently being
owned by a warlock. 

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,120
He was cool. 
That was sick. 

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,280
OK, All right, yeah, those like 
void minions are definitely are 

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,760
definitely something new. 
Like they I have originally 

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
said, oh, they're like fragments
of dementias because they've got

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160
like they're kind of like 
simplified dementias armor and 

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440
they've got the like glowing 
hole in the in the chest. 

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,800
But like we'll eventually get 
their their name. 

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,920
But they are definitely pawns of
Zalatath. 

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760
And so you're right. 
Yeah, it was a thrilling trailer

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,520
in my, my opinion. 
But Sean, how did the trailer go

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,000
for you? 
What are your first impressions 

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,200
of the Midnight trailer? 
I teared up when I saw Leadron 

35
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,560
and then I bawled when that hand
came out of the light and 

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,200
touched her shoulder. 
So my first impressions are I 

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
can't wait. 
I love the blood elves I first 

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,640
swapped to. 
Like I really I played in 

39
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,880
vanilla but I didn't really fall
in love with Warcraft until the 

40
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,520
Burning Crusade when I became a 
blood off ballad. 

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,480
And I love silver Moon, I think 
it's a great city. 

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,400
I can't wait to go back. 
Everything about it just, it 

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,800
just filled me with so much hope
and then I question why hope 

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,720
makes me cry. 
You know, like we had this other

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,720
show that Alexa used to do, 
which was more about Wellness 

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,400
and in gaming, but that isn't 
this show. 

47
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,320
So I got to ask you, whose hand 
do you think that was? 

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,000
That's a great question. 
That's the question on 

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,880
everybody's mind right now. 
So if it has to be, I have two 

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,400
answers. 
Answer one, it's just generic 

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,680
random paladin from the players,
and that's what the Light center

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,680
was, was paladins from all 
across Azeroth to help. 

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:18,600
And then option 2, which I think
would be the best, is it's the 

54
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Arathi coming through and it's 
somebody that we haven't met 

55
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,080
yet, maybe the Emperor, maybe 
you know, somebody, somebody 

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,240
from the Arathi line, but not 
from the Halo fall Arathi, but 

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,160
somebody from like Aerithor 
across the ocean and the light 

58
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,920
descending them to fight and 
rental ash. 

59
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,440
OK, I mean that that is that is 
a guest that I had not heard 

60
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,600
before actually. 
Oh really? 

61
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,960
They literally show an Arathi 
ballot in in one of the shorts. 

62
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Nobody has thought that yet. 
No, I, I mean, I've seen like I 

63
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,760
have seen images of the concept 
artwork and I didn't think Arafi

64
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,960
and it's but that it's like the 
artwork that's in the fast 

65
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,200
discord. 
Is that an Arafi paladin? 

66
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,920
Is that what that is? 
No, but that that's not 

67
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,720
specifically, but the music is 
the same music from Halo Fall 

68
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,959
and it's the I'm pretty sure. 
And it's like there's one of the

69
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:19,680
shorts where there's show like 
one of those shorts that 

70
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,840
released afterwards, the YouTube
shorts when they're cutting 

71
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,800
through and showing different 
paladins and when one of them 

72
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,640
front and center is a Colterian 
woman, which is the the bottle, 

73
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,600
the body model for Arathi. 
And they're they are already 

74
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,920
paladins. 
So yeah, I just assumed that it 

75
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,200
was going to be the Arathi 
coming. 

76
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Is that really not something 
that everybody is saying they 

77
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,360
think it's? 
Honestly, this is the first time

78
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,840
I've I've heard it. 
I'll take credit then. 

79
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,760
Lex, what's your guess then? 
Are you with Sean on his theory?

80
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,600
Oh I am not good at like that 
sort of lore identification. 

81
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Like I said, I did need my 
guildies to explain why this 

82
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,040
like clip was meaningful other 
than the fact that it looked 

83
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,560
cool and had like clear deep 
emotions. 

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,720
So I've definitely heard the 
Arafi the most. 

85
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,880
Sorry Manny, you can be part of 
my lore conversations if you 

86
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,920
want, but I I thought I fully 
thought Anaru was going to come 

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,960
out of that soul. 
Well so or Sun. 

88
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,840
Well, this is This is why I 
don't make more predictions. 

89
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,800
Yeah, no worries, no worries. 
So wait, there's there's so many

90
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,840
wells that we're going to be 
talking about as we go through 

91
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:30,480
this. 
My thought originally was like, 

92
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,480
oh, it's like the army, the Army
of the Light. 

93
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,160
Actually, originally I was like,
Oh, is it like Anduin and it and

94
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,720
him bringing back up, you don't 
really get to see like the 

95
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,480
colors and such. 
So it's like, Oh, maybe it's 

96
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,440
like a bunch of storm and nights
and be like, Hey, we're standing

97
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,080
together and like hoarded lion 
sitting side by side in this 

98
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,040
moment of need. 
Then I saw like the concept art 

99
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,480
that was thrown in the fast 
escort. 

100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,720
I mean, I should say bit dot LY 
slash fast discord if you want 

101
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,640
to join those conversations. 
And so my thought was like, Oh, 

102
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,160
maybe it's like Terrellian 
creating a like kids, like the 

103
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,840
army of the light that came from
Argus was put underneath to 

104
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,400
rally in and therefore 
underneath Stormwind. 

105
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,840
Right. 
And if they do like army of the 

106
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:25,720
light paladins that are that are
under Trallian control, that 

107
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,000
would make a lot of sense. 
He was in he was in Queldonas 

108
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,520
for the short story before the 
head of the war within. 

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:42,160
He was in, he showed up for a 
little bit, but everybody shows 

110
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,600
up for a little bit, so that 
means nothing. 

111
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,200
And so the other thing is like, 
later on, we're going to find 

112
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,320
out something that points to him
being a major character in 

113
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Midnight. 
And so my, my theory, my 

114
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,360
standing theory right now is 
Army of the Light, Taralian 

115
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,520
hasn't been coasting during this
time of peace. 

116
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,120
He's being militarizing and he 
and now he's his army's coming 

117
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,600
to save the day, as it were. 
There not have been drain iron 

118
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560
in the mix, then they should 
have the army of the light and 

119
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,760
because that what they showed 
was all humans, which is why I I

120
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,200
I led to air throw because 
they're very specifically not 

121
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,720
xenophobic, but one they're like
there are. 

122
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,040
They're just humans. 
They are xenophobic. 

123
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,840
And a little bit xenophobic. 
They are xenophobic. 

124
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,000
They they're, they're right 
there with the Red Dawn and the 

125
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800
like. 
Hey, listen, if it didn't, it 

126
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,320
didn't come from our neck of the
world. 

127
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,440
So we don't like it. 
Mine. 

128
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,040
I will say my initial thought 
was Stormwind just because it 

129
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,920
was all humans, or at least the 
only things we saw were human 

130
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Stormwind desk models. 
So that leads us to like, again,

131
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,800
if you're wondering what in the 
what in the world are they 

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480
talking about? 
What happened, Definitely check 

133
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,040
out the the show notes. 
We've got the link to that 

134
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,560
trailer. 
It was very emotional. 

135
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,720
There was like a crisis of faith
and everything in there really, 

136
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,760
really gets you going, but also 
comes out of it's like 

137
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,040
definitely in the middle of 
events that we have not got to 

138
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,840
yet. 
And so clearly there's going to 

139
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,000
be a lot that leads up to what 
we're going to see in that 

140
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,240
cinematic. 
And rather than try and guess 

141
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,200
that that we've got a lot of 
information to go through. 

142
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:41,760
So let's get right to it. 
In midnight we are going to be 

143
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,240
in Queldonas around Silver Moon 
City. 

144
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,680
This is a fully rebuilt 
reimagination from reimagining 

145
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,880
from the ground up of the the 
zone. 

146
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,120
So it is going to be not one for
one, not a remaster, not like 

147
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000
just HD graphics. 
They have like pretty much 

148
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,720
expanded the area. 
The city of Silver Moon is going

149
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,720
to be the like central hub, 
which means there's going to be 

150
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,200
both Horde and Alliance in 
there, but they are going to 

151
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,640
remember that it is a Horde city
and have some Horde only areas 

152
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,560
so. 
Here's a question for you guys. 

153
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,240
Do you think that they're going 
to do the Drain Eye and Last 

154
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,160
Titan or do you think they're 
just going to say screw you 

155
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,760
guys, Burning Crusade? 
If you wanted to be relevant, 

156
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480
you should have been relevant 
and only do Silver Moon. 

157
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,560
I I think they do Azure mistyle 
this patch. 

158
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
It'll happen in midnight. 
Probably the .5. 

159
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,080
Something like that. 
There's no way they overdo 1 and

160
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,280
not the other. 
I'm I've flat out, I think 

161
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,360
they've, they've said screw it. 
We're not, we don't care about 

162
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400
like trying to make everything 
even. 

163
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,040
We're just going to do the story
and do the things that we we 

164
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,160
need to. 
And like, if you miss out this 

165
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,800
time, you miss out this this 
time, which I'm going to get 

166
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640
back to you because I think 
there's a number of things along

167
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,480
that line. 
But what we're seeing is that 

168
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,280
this entire area has like 
recovered from the scourge 

169
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,240
attack that had originally gone 
after the sun. 

170
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,400
Well, so they've made everything
all pretty and nice again, only 

171
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,480
to get hit by the void and 
xylitaph. 

172
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:29,120
So man, poor, poor guys. 
Just when we get that HD remake,

173
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,720
they're under assault again, 
which means that the Eversong 

174
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Woods are going to be back in as
the first zone that we'll it 

175
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,000
will be in again. 
That is with this entire rebuilt

176
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,000
redone thing. 
The Ghostlands have recovered 

177
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,560
from from being all scourgy and 
they're in a much better 

178
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,120
position. 
All of that is now like 

179
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,400
remastered, and I'm looking 
forward to that. 

180
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,680
From there, there are two 
additional zones that we'll be 

181
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:03,520
able to go to. 
Zola Mountain, previously just a

182
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,360
just a small little neck of the 
woods, has been expanded into 

183
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,680
its own full-fledged zone and 
built out. 

184
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:17,200
So you're going to see a lot of 
troll grandeur there, including 

185
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,560
the Loa of War and a bunch of 
new Loa. 

186
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:26,360
I love that. 
And then on the other side, the 

187
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,800
other zone that you can go to 
2nd is Harandar. 

188
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,960
This we know of previously as 
the root lands. 

189
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:41,040
And so there you're going to of 
course, come across the Harnier 

190
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:49,680
and that zone looks kind of 
like, oh, man, I'm going to say 

191
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,680
something similar to Dressvar 
where like all the things are 

192
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,720
like wrapped up in trees. 
But this is like a step further,

193
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:07,840
kind of like, oh man, what was 
the, I think Arden wield? 

194
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,080
Sorry, Arden wield is what I was
thinking of, where everything is

195
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,480
naturally in to the zone. 
This is nothing is constructed, 

196
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,080
everything is grown or through 
like a kind of biomancy thing, 

197
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,920
which is so cool. 
Go ahead, Lex. 

198
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,920
I say this with so much love. 
I'm looking at these screenshots

199
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,200
right now. 
The word you're looking for is 

200
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Zynga Marsh. 
It looks like Zynga. 

201
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,120
Marsh. 
Zynga Marsh, I will say, and I 

202
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,320
love Zynga. 
So I'm like literally, this is 

203
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,040
on record my favorite zone, so 
I'm over the moon. 

204
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,640
But I was looking at it. 
I was like, well, I'm reading 

205
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,560
the description and I really 
would expect it to look more 

206
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:43,320
like Zynga Marsh. 
And I'm looking at it and it's 

207
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,160
Zynga Marsh. 
I I would say like they have 

208
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,800
this like Brontosaurus that it's
like got a mushroom thing and 

209
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,640
that's, that's Zangamarsh, right
They. 

210
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:58,800
Have mushroom cities, Manny. 
They have they have some fungi 

211
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,640
cities and stuff, but like 
Zangamarsh may maybe it's just 

212
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,160
too low res and that's why I 
don't put put it the same. 

213
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,160
But they've got those roots that
are going through and like grow 

214
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,800
in, grow up into everything and.
Maybe I'm literally tripping 

215
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,120
out. 
I'm looking at these photos and 

216
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,840
I think they might have actually
copy pasted some zengemarsh. 

217
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,400
Images like. 
I'm not even kidding. 

218
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,840
All right, all right, let's just
go in with Zengemarsh. 

219
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,440
I, I, I can see where you're 
coming from. 

220
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,200
I don't think it's a it's a one 
for one, but you're OK. 

221
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,320
And then from from what? 
Let's consider Zengemarsh 6 

222
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,520
point O. 
We have the void Storm, and the 

223
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:49,080
void storm is like basically 
Koresh but like a lot more 

224
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:55,120
jagged edges on the buildings. 
You've got the same mana forges 

225
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,720
that they had in Koresh being 
repeated there. 

226
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:03,000
You've got some things that kind
of look like if the void met the

227
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,280
cult of Twilight, where it is 
just twisted metal and jagged 

228
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,640
edges there. 
It looks really cool. 

229
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,680
And that's going to be the final
zone of the of the story. 

230
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:18,600
So if you go through you can you
start off course in ever song. 

231
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,920
You pick between Zolomon and 
Karndar, and then once you've 

232
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,000
completed those two, then you 
move on to the Void Storm. 

233
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,560
So Lex, are we, are we going 
with Hondar as your favorite? 

234
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,400
Oh, yeah. 
Oh, yeah. 

235
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600
First of all, again, I've always
loved Zynga and I just knew that

236
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,160
I wasn't supposed to love Zynga.
I, I don't remember why to know 

237
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,840
that everyone tells me I'm not 
supposed to love Zynga, but I 

238
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,760
love Zynga. 
And so the fact that I get to go

239
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,880
back to Zynga Marsh, but this 
time I get to fly easily, like I

240
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,080
don't have to like do any the 
thing and spend $1,000,000 like 

241
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,640
I did when I was in Burning 
Crusade. 

242
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,440
And I, Oh my God, I'm so 
excited. 

243
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,000
I'm so excited. 
I love Vega. 

244
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,560
This is going to be my favorite 
expansion. 

245
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,640
I'm so hype. 
OK. 

246
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,000
All right, Sean, what's your 
favorite zone out of these from 

247
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,680
those just like the first 
impressions here? 

248
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,320
I didn't see any pictures of 
these. 

249
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,400
I don't know where you guys saw 
pictures of these zones. 

250
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,000
OK, well Lex is going to share, 
share with you. 

251
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:17,600
There was a bunch of pictures 
that were in the press kit and 

252
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,360
such. 
I just went to Blizzard's press 

253
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,280
kit and there's nothing there 
for midnight. 

254
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,600
What? 
No, no, it's there. 

255
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,920
It's there. 
OK, well while I'm going to 

256
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:36,160
Passover link to Sean so that he
can get some pictures, I do want

257
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,680
to talk about the prey system. 
And Lex, would you be willing to

258
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,120
talk about prey? 
Oh, you bet. 

259
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,640
I'd be willing to talk about 
Prey. 

260
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,440
So some of you may recall that 
in a few episodes back, this 

261
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800
might have been significantly 
many episodes back we were 

262
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,440
talking about wouldn't it be 
great if there was more 

263
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,320
challenging open world things? 
And I think somebody, not me, 

264
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,880
was like, they're never going to
do more challenging open world 

265
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,040
things. 
That's so silly. 

266
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,640
But they're doing more 
challenging open world things. 

267
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,240
So essentially how it goes is 
you go chat with a guy forgot 

268
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,440
his name. 
I think he's important, but I 

269
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,400
needed my guildies to explain 
the cinematic to me so we know 

270
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,840
I'm not going to remember his 
name. 

271
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,080
You say, I think like what zone 
you're in and you turn on the 

272
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320
price system for that zone. 
And then you go into that zone 

273
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,720
and you do things and you do 
like you're usually engaging in 

274
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,200
your normal life. 
And while you're engaging in 

275
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,440
your normal life, you get what 
the Dungeons and Dragons folks 

276
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,160
will know as random encounters 
where suddenly things pop up and

277
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,680
you're getting attacked and you 
have to fight them. 

278
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,040
And there's going to be 
increasing. 

279
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,320
I think there's three, like I 
don't. 

280
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,680
Oh gosh, either three people 
come out and then the big, I 

281
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,360
think it's 3 encounters and the 
last one's big boss. 

282
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,880
I should have written this down 
but I didn't. 

283
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,800
It's OK. 
And so basically you go in, you 

284
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,600
kill all these encounters and 
you kill the big boss. 

285
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,720
You can do them at 3 
difficulties, you can do them at

286
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,080
normal, hard or nightmare. 
And so, and this is all opt in 

287
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,240
by the way. 
So it's not like you're going to

288
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,960
have to worry about just 
randomly questing and not 

289
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,240
wanting to do the open world 
prey system and all of a sudden 

290
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,920
somebody's whacking on you. 
Don't worry about that unless 

291
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,440
you're in PvP, then you do have 
to worry about that. 

292
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,200
But from this you can get 
cosmetics, you can get mounts, 

293
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960
you can get titles and you can 
get housing items. 

294
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,839
So unfortunately you are not 
getting gear, but that's OK. 

295
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,359
You get cute little, cute little
things and you get to kill a big

296
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,760
boss. 
And in the Nightmare, the higher

297
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,920
level difficulties, the final 
boss is much harder. 

298
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,440
I think there was saying in the 
Nightmare difficulty you 

299
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,079
actually get like tied in 
basically and you have to fight 

300
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,359
him in a very small zone. 
It's very exciting. 

301
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:27,160
So, so we're hype. 
I'm hype. 

302
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,000
Are you guys hype? 
I am honestly, this feels like 

303
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,160
when you're halfway through a 
delve and the Nemesis pops up 

304
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,160
just like expanded the pawn and 
put into the outside world like 

305
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,240
that. 
That's how I see this. 

306
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,880
And I'm sort of like, huh, I 
guess they really like delves. 

307
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,080
So they're like, you know what? 
Why don't we have delves outside

308
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,640
of Delves? 
And I'm like, OK, all right, I'm

309
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,240
glad that this is the outside 
world. 

310
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,360
I would hate if I like picked up
a prey nemesis thing and then I 

311
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,480
was in a mythic plus and so I 
get kanked by my nemesis. 

312
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,320
That would that would be that 
was like my nightmare. 

313
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,120
And then I'm like, I better just
double check this. 

314
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:05,040
Like, OK, good. 
It's in a particular zone. 

315
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,520
It's an outside world system. 
This is cool. 

316
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Worst case scenario, I'm half 
paying attention, doing some 

317
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,640
fishing and suddenly I get 
kanked by my by my nemesis. 

318
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,080
But all I would do is just be 
like I'm going to fish somewhere

319
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,760
else. 
While I am dealing with this, 

320
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:29,040
this prey system, the the 
difficulties, the normal hard 

321
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,760
and nightmare difficulties, I 
think is great to allow players 

322
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,120
to engage with it at their own 
comfort. 

323
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Again, you're right. 
This is something that you've 

324
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,240
been demanding saying like we 
need harder open world content. 

325
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:53,040
So I'm glad for that. 
I dislike, I dislike that it is 

326
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,360
random for some. 
Like it's just like, oh, I'm 

327
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:05,040
doing something and it comes out
randomly because one, it kind of

328
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,800
reminds me of the mall where 
it's like, OK, we're just adding

329
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,520
this like additional affix where
suddenly things happen. 

330
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,240
And two, I would have liked to 
just be like opt in and I'm 

331
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,920
going to do this. 
I would hate if if there's a 

332
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,120
player out there that's like, 
oh, I'm going to do I'm going to

333
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:30,440
do a nemesis and then Oh no, my 
kids calling me or real life is 

334
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,800
pulling me away. 
They come back, they forget 

335
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,240
they've activated this nemesis 
and then bam. 

336
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Oh, no, this is not what I opt 
into. 

337
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,200
Like maybe there's a way where 
you're like, OK, let me just 

338
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,560
resend the contract and nemesis 
is like, oh, cool, all right, 

339
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,200
we're we're we're not enemies 
again. 

340
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,320
I'll leave you alone, bro. 
But it just seems like A at 

341
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,440
least at the very least there 
should be a reminder when you 

342
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,320
log in where it's like you have 
a nemesis active going or sorry 

343
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,960
pre active. 
This is going to be like a thing

344
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:02,880
that takes a long time to get 
through because I was expecting 

345
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,680
that it would be pretty quick. 
Like I, I would anticipate it's 

346
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,640
like. 
I don't, I don't know, it's 

347
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,440
multiple times before you deal 
with the last one. 

348
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,480
I and like as quick as it may or
may not be, I, I could just 

349
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,680
anticipate somebody who doesn't 
have the play session that they 

350
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,160
thought they did gets it, gets 
interrupted, forgets about it, 

351
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,920
and then gets that unpleasant 
surprise. 

352
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,240
So like in my in my mind, I 
always want to be able to opt 

353
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,560
into it. 
Epidemi, who is a great source 

354
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,240
of quotes, says that the Diablo 
Torment system is a great 

355
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,840
example where you can set those 
wool tears. 

356
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:52,120
They're experimenting with that 
in the Legion remix, and so 

357
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,920
maybe that's something that that
might come in as well, who 

358
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,880
knows? 
I should. 

359
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,160
I do also want to pause really 
quickly and say while we were 

360
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,120
talking I was doing some 
digging. 

361
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,680
I do not know where I got the 
number 3 encounters before the 

362
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,720
boss. 
I pulled that entirely out of my

363
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,160
butt. 
Everything is saying that it's 

364
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,800
just multiple ambushes, so don't
quote me on that. 

365
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,840
That was insane. 
You'll be cool first thing 

366
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,000
though if you feel very smart. 
Three seems like a nice round 

367
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,160
Number. 
It could be three. 

368
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,760
Maybe it increases or with 
difficulty as well, who knows. 

369
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,080
That will also depend on whether
it's what I'm thinking where 

370
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,040
it's like, you know, 30 minutes 
Max. 

371
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,200
You pick a zone, you go like 
mostly you're like questing, but

372
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,680
you you really going there just 
to get your ambushes done so you

373
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,520
can get to the final boss. 
Or if it's more of a like, you 

374
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,680
pick a prey a a week and every 
time you're in there, for all 

375
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,800
you know you're going to get 
ambushed. 

376
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,320
Which when I say it out loud, 
sounds significantly cooler. 

377
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,000
Yeah, depends on how quickly you
can cycle through it. 

378
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Like I, I definitely think that 
I agree with you being able to 

379
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,400
pick it for the week and then 
it's like over the course of 

380
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,960
like the week I will come across
across these encounters and do, 

381
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,400
it seems to me a cooler system 
than I pick it, spend 20 minutes

382
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,400
in a zone to like go hunt this 
thing down. 

383
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,760
That to me just seems like a 
really zone wide world quest in 

384
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,080
my mind. 
And I think that's less 

385
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,000
exciting. 
What do you think, Sean? 

386
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,160
I think that I am really glad 
that Lex is hyped for this 

387
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:30,040
feature today as it's been 
announced and I desperately hope

388
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,360
that two weeks efforts release. 
We aren't having conversations 

389
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,480
along the lines of why can't 
healers do this because it's too

390
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,120
hard? 
Why is this so easy as a group? 

391
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,800
Why did becoming a group become 
the way to do praise? 

392
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,680
Why is the only thing they give 
cosmetics? 

393
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,960
Why does this feel like such a 
chore? 

394
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,160
I, I personally, I mean, if 
there's cosmetics tied to it 

395
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,080
that I want, I'll do it and I 
will have the level of enjoyment

396
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,280
associated with it that I get 
from farming cosmetics. 

397
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,160
I just really hope because Lex 
is genuinely like, she's 

398
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,760
glowing. 
She's so excited about this. 

399
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,720
She's beaming with joy. 
I don't want two weeks into 

400
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,200
midnight for Lex to have to say 
something like I play at at 

401
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,200
Demon Hunter so it's fine, but 
all of my friends who plays 

402
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,200
healers can't do this alone 
anymore, which is what's what's 

403
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,280
going to happen because it's 
what literally happens every 

404
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,160
time. 
Oh for sure. 

405
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,240
And to be fair, I do like the 
fact that they set this with 

406
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:34,040
only like, and I, I know this is
a tender thing to say, a 

407
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,480
sensitive, a sensitive point, 
but only like optional things. 

408
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,280
So like cosmetics and mounts and
things. 

409
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,160
So, and I know that for some of 
you, you're yelling at your, at 

410
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,920
your computers already. 
And that's fair. 

411
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,000
I understand that for some of 
you that doesn't feel optional. 

412
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,480
But at least for me, it's like, 
if it's gear, I feel like I'm 

413
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,840
being a big jerk if I don't do 
them every week because I'm 

414
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,120
letting my team down. 
If it's mounts, that's for me. 

415
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:04,480
And so if I'm like, oh, this 
actually sucks and I hate it, 

416
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,800
I'm simply choosing, but I'm not
going to get some mounts. 

417
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,240
That's OK. 
Nobody else is disappointed. 

418
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,640
I'm just maybe a little sad. 
Just a little one less mount for

419
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,960
Lex. 
That gets her one bit 1 mount 

420
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,960
closer to being a real player. 
I think that what we could do is

421
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,680
tuned. 
I think what we could do is like

422
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,360
have it tuned differently for 
different roles. 

423
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:33,000
So like the same thing that 
they've done in Visions or when 

424
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,240
you were doing any of those sort
of things where it's like, oh, 

425
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,880
it does more damage if you're a 
tank or have a tank in your 

426
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,000
right, it has less health if 
you're a healer and and so 

427
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,480
forth, that sort of that sort of
thing. 

428
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:56,560
I wonder if it if like it brings
friends if you're in a group or 

429
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,080
if it just goes like, oh, 
they're in a group. 

430
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,200
I don't want to ambush them 
while there's numbers against 

431
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,840
me. 
Either one of those would be 

432
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,440
cool and like make the system 
feel a lot smarter. 

433
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,320
If it if like you're, you're 
Hunter's like, oh crap, she's 

434
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,840
got friends. 
Hold off. 

435
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,680
Or you pick who your nemesis is.
So it might like. 

436
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,360
I don't know exactly how they 
want to play this but they could

437
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:25,920
make it so like certain nemeses 
are really hard hitting but 

438
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,880
don't take as much to DPS down 
to make them more tank specific.

439
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:35,240
Or certain nemeses are like the 
depend on a mechanic that 

440
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,560
requires you to be able to heal 
up things in the environment. 

441
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,600
And certain ones are more just 
like pretty classic take hits do

442
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,240
damage more for your DPS. 
Like they couldn't make it so 

443
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,760
you can kind of figure out which
one you want to select based on 

444
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,960
your class. 
And so you don't have to do the 

445
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,960
like, oh, this one is impossible
as a healer. 

446
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,040
For the game, can other people 
see them? 

447
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Can they help you fight them if 
they see them? 

448
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,560
If you're in war mode and you're
fighting one, can I come kill 

449
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,280
you and then you lose the 
contract? 

450
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,640
I have many questions that I 
hope Blizzard has thought of 

451
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,280
before they go live. 
Because if anybody else can see 

452
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,520
them, when you're you can be out
there fighting this thing and 

453
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,640
then a group of people walk by 
and they just bang it out and 

454
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,680
there's no challenge at all. 
And then it's just dead. 

455
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,120
Yeah, I think there's a lot of 
things that can shift it around,

456
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:31,640
make it way easier, way harder. 
Definitely PvP open world PvP is

457
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,720
a is a question about it. 
I would hate if I just want to 

458
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,880
fight in like open world PvP and
then my nemesis decides this is 

459
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,920
the time. 
Oh, that would that would hurt 

460
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,240
so much. 
I hope that also it isn't like 

461
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,840
limited attempts where it's 
like, oh, if I miss it on the 

462
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,880
final challenge, then I don't 
get it or it gets it's reduced 

463
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,880
somehow because that will 
immediately make the knives come

464
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,600
out. 
Yeah, it. 

465
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,760
Should be once a week. 
It should be locked to once a 

466
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:08,520
week. 
But they did put out a short 

467
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,960
with all this information. 
It is as Lex says, just 

468
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,160
cosmetic. 
You are getting cosmetics, 

469
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,160
mounts, titles, housing items, 
but you are not getting any 

470
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:24,000
gear. 
So in in any situation it is 

471
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:31,880
just for bragging rights and 
cool stuff to show off next. 

472
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,000
From there we talked about them 
bringing Dells into the outside 

473
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,760
world, but they're not done with
Dells in general. 

474
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,480
I'm once again going to pass 
this off to Lex because we've 

475
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,760
got 11 new Dells in the next 
expansion. 

476
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,520
Yes, at this time we have her 
name for new companion, which if

477
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,520
they make me do Bran, like if 
they pull the vlog out from 

478
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,240
under me and they're like 
actually it's Branigan, I'm 

479
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,360
literally going to lose my mind.
I will have an entire episode 

480
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:57,800
that will just be me saying 
swears, I'm sorry Manny. 

481
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,400
So new delves, an entire new set
of delves. 

482
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,160
You're going with the legendary 
bledelf rogue Velira Sanguinar. 

483
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,920
And I did. 
I will admit that when I read 

484
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,400
that the first time, I was like,
wow, they really like the third 

485
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,920
wind runner Sister has really 
dropped in the ranks of the 

486
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,400
lore. 
But no, apparently not. 

487
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Sean's making a face that makes 
me think that I'm supposed to 

488
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,800
know this woman. 
Yeah, Valera Sanguener is one of

489
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,160
the most famous rogues in the 
game. 

490
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,600
At one point she was in the 
gladiator pits with Varian Ren 

491
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,520
back in before he when he was 
lost his memory when he had been

492
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,760
kidnapped. 
Yeah, Valera is amazing. 

493
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,560
She wears that red outfit and 
has the blonde hair. 

494
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,560
Does that help? 
She's. 

495
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,960
Like the blood elf with red 
outfit and blonde hair. 

496
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,840
I literally you. 
Now I know. 

497
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,080
You're welcome. 
No, not welcome. 

498
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:49,000
Think Burning Crusade, Right. 
Like tight, tight like titular 

499
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,960
rogue Burning Crusade. 
They wanted to show blood Elves 

500
00:28:53,960 --> 00:29:00,720
and they showed her they had a 
Maraud as the the Exodars 

501
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,040
champion. 
That's the dry knife poster boy.

502
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,200
And they had our Sanguinar 
Rogue. 

503
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,520
And then she was also in the 
Rogue Legion Order hall. 

504
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,120
Order hall. 
She's been back and forth a 

505
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,520
bunch of times. 
She predates World of Warcraft 

506
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,320
entirely because she was in the 
Warcraft series before. 

507
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,920
She's got pedigree. 
I. 

508
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Did think I when I googled her, 
I immediately recognized her. 

509
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,160
I did think this was kind of 
like generic Blood Elf, which is

510
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,120
why I was making fun of Sean, 
but OK, the fact that this that 

511
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,640
she has a name, I'm now caught 
up. 

512
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,920
This is really cool. 
It's really. 

513
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,480
I would like you to recognize 
how excellent my description of 

514
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,320
the red outfit was. 
It was. 

515
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,960
This was like, again, again, the
reason that I mocked you was 

516
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,280
because I was like, oh, yeah. 
The blonde blood elf in red. 

517
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,920
Yeah, I know that one, Sean. 
Yeah, but you did. 

518
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,440
I did, in fact. 
Yeah, that's cool. 

519
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200
I might actually do some delves.
No. 

520
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,600
No, I I'm I'm actually it's 
funny that I feel like her being

521
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,880
the delve companion feels like a
downgrade for her. 

522
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,280
And then but I'm just sort of 
like, you know what, whatever. 

523
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,720
Like it's just like I think 
raising delves to have like big 

524
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,160
characters like this. 
And I don't want to say that 

525
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,240
Bran, he is a smaller character,
but he's always been the like, 

526
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,600
quite short hero's companion. 
I hate him, he's so annoying I 

527
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,680
want him to shut up. 
He's. 

528
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Always been the hero's 
companion. 

529
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,320
He's like from his from the get 
go. 

530
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,840
He's just like, oh champion, 
I'll I'll run along beside you 

531
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,520
and give exposition. 
So like him being the Delft 

532
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,880
companion was like, oh, OK, 
yeah, sure. 

533
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,880
Those webs will summon the 
Rubian. 

534
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Next time, let's pull out some 
hotter hitting moves. 

535
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,160
Wow, I really I didn't. 
I really should not have tried 

536
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,480
the accent there. 
It did not. 

537
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,760
Go all out. 
I'm to go all out. 

538
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Before we start a start a 
swearing episode, I do think 

539
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,960
it's going to be fun to see a 
healing rogue in action. 

540
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Or like the tanking rogue. 
Sure, evasion tank and all day 

541
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,800
healing rogue. 
I I'm tired of people throwing 

542
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,520
potions in my vicinity. 
Let's I don't know what she's 

543
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:14,720
going to do. 
That's a good. 

544
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Well, because the other thing 
about Bran that I think is less 

545
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,640
true for Valera, maybe. 
I don't know. 

546
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,720
I didn't really know she existed
as a core character until now. 

547
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,040
Is it? 
Bran is inherently kind of 

548
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,440
silly, right? 
That's always. 

549
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Yeah, like you said, he's like 
the hero's companion, but also 

550
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,000
he's he has that kind of dwarf 
silliness. 

551
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,880
And I don't know that that's the
vibe. 

552
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,600
I'd say they I had to give her. 
And so I'm really curious how 

553
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,680
they're going to go about this, 
like whether they're going to be

554
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,440
like, well, now she's a silly 
character because she's the 

555
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,560
Delve companion. 
Or if they're going to play this

556
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,240
a little bit more straight, 
which does mean that they're 

557
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,360
going to have to figure out how 
she's going to be healing and 

558
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,880
things without just like, oh, 
dwarven medicine guys throwing 

559
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,960
the things out. 
I hope instead of healing that 

560
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,800
she just stabs us to death. 
She's like, you're too weak. 

561
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,480
She's like, switches her daggers
for syringes and she's like, get

562
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,280
up, get up, get up. 
Yeah, Yeah, it's it's going to 

563
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,400
be weird. 
I'm assuming that that means 

564
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,080
Dells are going to be just 
generally more serious, as you 

565
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,080
said, we're not going to have 
somebody stealing her hat in 

566
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,840
Season 2 or whatever. 
We'll see where it goes from 

567
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,360
there. 
Yeah, I wouldn't mind. 

568
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,480
What, like seeing how they 
bounce, the tone, seeing how 

569
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,440
they balance, like the various, 
various parts of it. 

570
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,640
Now, we did say that there are 
11 Dells. 

571
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,560
They are all over the place. 
They are in all of the zones. 

572
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,200
We have the Shadow Enclave, the 
Collegiate Calamity. 

573
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Oh, sorry, Collegiate. 
Can I just say which Blizzard 

574
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,240
dev had a really tough time in 
college? 

575
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,120
Like it was one thing they used 
to say like one dungeon that was

576
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,680
like, Oh no, the school's going 
crazy. 

577
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,880
And now it's like every other 
patch they're like and what if 

578
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,400
the school goes crazy? 
Yeah, I don't, I don't know. 

579
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,480
You know, it could be like a 
general sort of like shared 

580
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,760
trauma that every so often they 
get the interns in and they're 

581
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,240
like, let me tell you about what
it took to get this internship. 

582
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,560
And they're like, we should turn
that into a dungeon now. 

583
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,280
We've done that before. 
Let's turn that into a delve 

584
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,000
this time. 
Perfect. 

585
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,640
The Parhelion Plaza. 
That's all I ever saw in woods. 

586
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:36,600
Zolaman has the Dark way, 
Twilight Crypts and a Talaman. 

587
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,040
The in Harndar we've got the 
Grudge Pit and the Gulf of 

588
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,440
Memory. 
I'm telling you right now, the 

589
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,240
Gulf of Memory is the coolest 
one out of these in terms of 

590
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,640
name so far. 
And then the Void Storm has 

591
00:33:52,640 --> 00:34:00,480
another two, which is Sun Killer
Sanctum and Shadow Guard point. 

592
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,240
Then our torments rise is the 
Nemesis Delve for season 1. 

593
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:11,800
Obviously that will change in 
season 2, but we had 10 delves 

594
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:18,440
with a with the 11th being a the
the Nemesis Delve. 

595
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,159
Is that the same that they had 
in the War Within when it 

596
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:23,440
launched? 
I think so. 

597
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Roughly, yeah. 
Three and Three and Dorn in the 

598
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,239
Isle of Dorn, 2 in the Ringing 
Deeps. 3IN hallow fall. 2IN 

599
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:39,239
Oscar hat plus Zach Fear. 
Yeah. 

600
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,080
So there you go. 
We're we're back at it again. 

601
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:51,560
Then we go into you dungeons and
Sean as the dungeoneer, he in 

602
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,560
this, I'll give this to you. 
Yeah, pretty excited. 

603
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,040
And sad I the more the further 
away we get from we only play 

604
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,600
the in the expansion dungeons in
season, the more I wanted to 

605
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,480
come back. 
But anyway, we're getting. 

606
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,440
Every song Woods are going to 
have three. 

607
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,000
Wind Runner Spire is being 
turned into a dungeon, so the 

608
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,040
historic home of the Wind 
Runners will be a dungeon. 

609
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:20,440
Magisters Terrace is making a 
return as a dungeon Magistrate's

610
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,200
Terrace the first time was 
merely a set back and they're 

611
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,400
going to be trying to unleash 
some some void magic here. 

612
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,520
And then murder Row, which is 
happening in Silver Moon itself.

613
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,760
It's one of the areas in Silver 
Moon murder Row and it's blood 

614
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,080
elves that are smuggling some 
fell relics and demons that are 

615
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,280
leftover from the Burning 
Crusade. 

616
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,200
That is Zola Mom. 
We've got 2 coming in with the 

617
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,520
Den of Nalarak, which is and 
Imani bearish. 

618
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,720
It's the money bear Loa, and he 
does have some challenges to 

619
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:48,440
test test before he will join 
us. 

620
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,240
So we have to prove that we're 
worthy, which means that the 

621
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:56,600
Soleimani won't bear the Imani 
trolls won't just be one note 

622
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:01,280
villains throughout this. 
So that's nice and the Mysara 

623
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,280
caverns also there we're going 
to save the weather bar who've 

624
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,320
been abducted abducted by the 
vow branch. 

625
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,840
Then we have a dungeon in 
Herinder with the Blinding veil 

626
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,240
and then two in the void storm, 
one that says it's an arena 

627
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,360
battle for the amusement of a 
powerful void entity. 

628
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,800
And I'm getting shades of Trial 
of the Champion, which I hope is

629
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,880
true because then it means we 
possibly have a trial of the 

630
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,360
Crusader style raid in the next 
year. 

631
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,200
Which would mean no trash. 
Which would make me overjoyed. 

632
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,000
And then the next is point. 
Zenus excited. 

633
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,360
I'm excited. 
I love Eversong Woods. 

634
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:41,600
I love the blood elf themes. 
I'm looking forward to it. 

635
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,320
Zola Mom was a top tier raid 
when it came out. 

636
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,400
Going back there's going to be 
great. 

637
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,280
I am just really sad that we're 
only going to play four of these

638
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,400
in the first season and then not
see them again. 

639
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,080
Like think about a dungeon like 
Stone Vault. 

640
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,280
Stone Vault was great. 
We saw the season 1 and now it's

641
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,800
gone. 
And if you didn't get the 

642
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,960
mountain season 1, you have to 
wait until midnight because it 

643
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,520
never came back as a mythic 
dungeon. 

644
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,160
That was another one that we got
in Season 1 that never came back

645
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200
that we enjoyed is. 
That it? 

646
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,400
Is it just? 
Stone vault? 

647
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,160
I mean, I would have said Dawn. 
Dawnbreaker, but that's came 

648
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,920
back, yeah. 
Right. 

649
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,760
Cinderme Brewery was. 
Not anybody's favorite, so we 

650
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,880
just left threads I. 
Like Cinderme, you don't do. 

651
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:32,080
Dungeons I. 
Did during Cinder and you. 

652
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,760
Thread wasn't playing. 
Either. 

653
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,640
Yeah, I just, I don't know. 
I don't. 

654
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,040
Love I don't I get it, people 
get bored running the same 

655
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,160
dungeon over again farming the 
same piece of loop but just in a

656
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,640
higher up higher item level 
isn't super thrilling. 

657
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,680
But for me that that I don't 
know I just I'm playing the 

658
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,120
expansion. 
I would like to be immersed in 

659
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,640
that expansions content for the 
duration of it. 

660
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,120
Especially since they're cycling
is these through so fast now at 

661
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,760
an 18 month click like it does I
think also. 

662
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,760
Just to add 1 cute little 
complaint, it does make me feel 

663
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,480
even more set back as a newer 
mythic pluser because it feels 

664
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,440
like there's more of an 
expectation of those. 

665
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,120
Like, Oh well, of course we all 
remember Mother Lode, we don't 

666
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,440
need to worry about that. 
Yeah, exactly. 

667
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,920
I think that. 
The part that you're talking 

668
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,880
about, Lex was kind of worse 
when you would come in season 3 

669
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,120
and everybody had been playing 
the same dungeons for 12 months 

670
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,200
straight. 
So like, and in recent memory, 

671
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,680
it wasn't like, do you remember 
this dungeon and oh, what 

672
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,760
changes have they made? 
It was we've done this dungeon 

673
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,800
for a year now. 
Get with it on week 1, so. 

674
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:56,040
I didn't really play back then. 
I you're correct that I I 

675
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,360
didn't, I wouldn't really know 
what I'm talking about. 

676
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,960
I I do agree with all the points
Sean said though. 

677
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,040
Like it sucks that you're not 
immersed in the current story, 

678
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,080
the current events and 
everything. 

679
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:17,280
Delve stayed current by like 
refreshing the affixes, which is

680
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,280
what they used to do with mythic
mythic plus in order to keep it,

681
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,040
keep it fresh. 
But I think this when we got to 

682
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,240
Dragonflight, they, they didn't,
they're, they didn't know how to

683
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:34,520
keep the creating new affixes. 
And they're like, though what 

684
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,840
we're can do is just refresh the
dungeon pool. 

685
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:42,840
So I I want to say it's more a 
issue of keeping that design 

686
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,320
train running at that speed 
helped push this. 

687
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,920
And they had a number of other 
reasons that they considered 

688
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,960
pros for it. 
Yeah. 

689
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,160
All I can say is you've got more
designers. 

690
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,480
I wouldn't, I wouldn't hate it 
if they did. 

691
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:07,160
Like here's the first, here's 
the first dungeons and two 

692
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,120
returning. 
And then in the next season, 

693
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,800
it's like, here's another two 
dungeons plus this mega dungeon 

694
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,960
that we split into two parts 
and. 

695
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,920
And some returning ones. 
And then in season 3 of us 

696
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,000
having the like OG dungeons back
was like what they did in 

697
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,600
Dragonflight, but they also 
didn't have mythic zeros being 

698
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,920
utterly shut out as well. 
So like the rotation is much 

699
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,560
harder drawn in in the war 
Within. 

700
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,800
And supposedly we'll see what, 
what the adjustments they do, if

701
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,000
any, in midnight. 
But yeah, I'd, I'd, I'd like to 

702
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,600
be able to remember why stone 
core was a thing. 

703
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,200
Remember why these dungeons that
like I maybe struggled against 

704
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,640
in season 1 have been like 
adjusted and they're fun in 

705
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,360
season 3. 
Oh well, yeah. 

706
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,160
Hey, why is Thrall on the War 
Within artwork? 

707
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:09,800
We should have an episode. 
Where are we talk about that, 

708
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,160
but it will not be this episode.
I just because. 

709
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,880
That's my background for my 
teleprompters, that key art 

710
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,360
where it's like Xalatas standing
behind the heroes and almost 

711
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,880
looks like a Star Wars poster. 
And I'm like, no, throw us 

712
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,080
there. 
The hell is he? 

713
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,440
At the game. 
Anyway, sorry, I I just, I 

714
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,560
normally have my camera there 
when I'm looking, I'm only 

715
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,720
looking at you guys, but I have 
you on a different monitor. 

716
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,720
So I'm just like staring at this
right now. 

717
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:33,680
I'm like, that's really 
gorgeous. 

718
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,480
Why do we have him here? 
Because stories. 

719
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,480
Changed as they turned into the 
old soul saga. 

720
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,920
I will say though, when we're 
looking at the description of 

721
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:47,200
these, these dungeons, I and 
we're talking about like, oh, 

722
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,520
like you're challenging the bear
load to get the support of the 

723
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:56,240
of the trolls Nexus point is 
zenith or where it's like you're

724
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:58,520
the tension between our allies 
escalated and this is the 

725
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,000
beginning of the climax of the 
story. 

726
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,360
I'm hoping that this is pointing
to a legion like zone setup 

727
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,120
where you have the story of the 
zone which culminates in the 

728
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,880
dungeon so that you have like 
that climax. 

729
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,360
You have that like, hey, this is
this is what we've done. 

730
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:22,320
They did a similar thing in BFA,
less so, but like that to me, it

731
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,680
made each zone really have like 
a good story that was that was 

732
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,920
building up towards something. 
And it it felt like when we had 

733
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:36,920
the the story on tracks that we 
did in the war within and it's 

734
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,680
in shadow lands it it's made 
some of the zones feel like they

735
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,320
didn't really get their proper 
conclusion. 

736
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,320
Looking at Arden wield and the 
trust. 

737
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:55,560
I'm looking at like Volt Volt 
Vulcan story in BFA, like stuff 

738
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,160
like that. 
So I'm hoping that that this, 

739
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:02,920
this is a change. 
We've got story, not story mode.

740
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,080
What do they call it for 
dungeons, follower dungeons, so 

741
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,040
that everybody has access to 
this, whether you're playing 

742
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,480
alone and maybe have like a bit 
of anxiety playing in Group 

743
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:17,480
content, or if you, if you want 
to push us on like heroic as 

744
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,280
soon as you can, like that's all
available to them. 

745
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,080
So I'm hoping that now they're 
going to use dungeons again for 

746
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,840
story with less RPS just for 
Sean's sake. 

747
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,320
I don't mind them. 
In the levelling, put them in 

748
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,480
for levelling, put them in for 
mythic 0, but just cut it out 

749
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,480
for mythic plus. 
We don't need that, I think. 

750
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,520
Kills my flow. 
Up faster they did, my poor God.

751
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,640
King dirty. 
I'll never hear his soliloquy 

752
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,720
again. 
I am God. 

753
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:53,920
King Scovald fight. 
OK, Then of course, once you're 

754
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,440
done through dungeons, you've 
done all of the the story 

755
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,200
campaign, that's when you hit 
the raid. 

756
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,240
And so I'm going to pass this 
one to you, Lex, as somebody who

757
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,400
loves rating with like blind and
experiencing it, experiencing 

758
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,200
for the first time. 
Tell us a little bit about what 

759
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,800
you're not going to be learning 
about before a raid. 

760
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,280
Yeah, so. 
Raiding is interesting this 

761
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,600
year. 
This at least the first patch of

762
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,600
the expansion. 
Because there's actually 3 

763
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,600
raids. 
One of them is 1/6 boss raid, 

764
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,000
one of them is a one boss raid, 
and one of those two boss raid. 

765
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,240
So there's the Void Spire which 
is the 6th boss raid that. 

766
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,720
Sounds to me more like. 
The standard rate that you're 

767
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:39,680
kind of expecting where you're 
fighting the void, you're 

768
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,200
dealing with the formidable foes
and cosmic horrors, as they say,

769
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,280
that's your sixth boss rate. 
Then there's the dream Rift, 

770
00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:54,120
which sounds to me like it's 
more like the Heronier Heronier.

771
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,720
That's your one boss rate, so 
you're only fighting one boy. 

772
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,320
Very curious how that one's 
going to go. 

773
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,160
And then you have March on 
Caldanis. 

774
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,080
Caldanis, I know how to speak. 
That's your two boss raid, which

775
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,520
I think is technically a spoiler
if you talk about it too much. 

776
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:16,440
So I'm not going to talk about 
it too much, but 3 raves and I'm

777
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,640
a little, I might have missed an
announcement. 

778
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,640
I don't know that they've 
necessarily told us if you have 

779
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,200
to go through them in this 
order, right? 

780
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,040
If it has to be Void Spire, 
Dream Rift March or if they kind

781
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,040
of leave that up to you. 
I know they've said that they're

782
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,800
all active upon launch, but I'm 
really excited. 

783
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,720
I am on record. 
I know this is Lex's bad take 

784
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:40,760
podcast. 
I'm on record saying that I love

785
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,320
Crucible of Storms. 
So I like the mini raids. 

786
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,600
I think they're fun. 
I think they're cute. 

787
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,640
I think they're a good way to 
like experience things with, you

788
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,480
know, energy and and they get to
try different mechanics and try 

789
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,360
things that are a little bit 
more complicated, a little bit 

790
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:54,080
weird. 
So I'm very excited about this. 

791
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,160
How are we feeling about the 
raids? 

792
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,600
Let's pass this to Sean. 
Go ahead. 

793
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,640
I yeah, I I mean, it's. 
Just I'm I'm sure it'll be 

794
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,000
great. 
It's just one raid tier with 

795
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,400
three locations. 
So instead of a single 9 bus 

796
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,760
raid, it's just a. 9 bus raid 
broken. 

797
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,800
Up into three locations, 
especially if they're all 

798
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,880
dropping loot on the same like 
item level track, then that's 

799
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,080
how that will play out. 
You'll have your raid night 

800
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,200
where you'll go and do you know 
whichever 1 is considered 

801
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,360
easiest and then you'll go into 
the next one and the next one. 

802
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,480
I think the six box raid is 
intended to be the last one 

803
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:39,120
because it is says it's where I 
thought there was a thing about 

804
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,360
finding Salitaf. 
Or yeah, I can't find that 

805
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,160
anymore, but I do remember 
somebody saying it. 

806
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,560
Yeah, I read it somewhere that. 
It was hold on, here we go. 3 

807
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,800
raids, new bosses. 
Void Spire 6 boss raid within 

808
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,120
the Void Storm that serves as 
Alitat Stronghold. 

809
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,080
The Dream Rift, A single boss 
raid that takes players to a 

810
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,600
place where the fail between 
primordial dreams and brutal 

811
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,560
reality is thin and March on 
Queldonas 2 bus raid with large 

812
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,120
story spoilers. 
More details on this raid to 

813
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:10,640
come later. 
I suspect March on Keldonas will

814
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,760
be the first one because it will
probably be what we used to 

815
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,640
unlock silver moon or something 
like that in the story and then 

816
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:18,960
the rest of them following 
after. 

817
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:23,040
But yeah, it's I mean, I'm 
looking forward to I think 99 

818
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,400
bus raid is good. 
It's a little. 

819
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,760
It's probably the cap for the 
number I would want and this. 

820
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,320
Potentially opens it up. 
For some people to try some 

821
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,880
mythic bosses who maybe they 
wouldn't, it's a lot easier to 

822
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,320
get people together to try one 
mythic boss than it is to get 

823
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,080
them to lock in for 8:00. 
So that's nice. 

824
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,840
But I don't see this as like any
groundbreaking change to rating 

825
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,720
or the race to world first. 
It's it's just a nine boss raid 

826
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:51,760
broken up into three locations, 
which is fine I. 

827
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:56,120
Think that they have to be very 
careful about how they put this 

828
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:00,840
forward if you OK, So looking at
the current raid where we 

829
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,520
assisted the straight track, 
well, I mean there's like an 

830
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:08,240
option of which boss you take on
2nd, but like it's basically a 

831
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:10,840
straight straight track through 
through the raid. 

832
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:16,200
And so the difficulty ramping up
is pretty linear when you have 

833
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:22,480
three entry points, 3 if the if 
the 6th boss raid is utterly 

834
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,280
linear, 3 bosses that can be 
approached as like anywhere 

835
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:31,680
between 2nd and 6th boss, right?
Or sorry, 2nd and 4th boss 

836
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:36,680
rather you. 
I think that like how they tune 

837
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,000
these is going to be weird. 
There might be like where you're

838
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,720
in that 2 boss raid and it's 
like first boss, fairly entry 

839
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:44,960
second boss. 
What the hell, we got to go farm

840
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,720
something else. 
There's going to be that like as

841
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:52,240
you said, there's going to be a 
accept, accepted, widely 

842
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:57,640
accepted, widely adopted path 
through this where, yes, it's 

843
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,120
going to become nine bosses in a
very particular order just in 

844
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,040
three different locations. 
And I'm not going to like when 

845
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,120
it's like, OK, we're going to 
clear through this and then 

846
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,120
we're going to walk out of here.
We're going to all pour it over 

847
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,920
here and then we're going to 
clear, clear this one. 

848
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,480
And then we'll go over here. 
Like that to me is hella 

849
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,960
annoying and is going to ruin 
some people's raid nights just 

850
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,920
because of the time lost going 
back and forth in between. 

851
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,080
I mean, I'm pretty convinced. 
Story wise, it's Void Spire 

852
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,160
March and then Dream Rift is 
kind of its own little thing 

853
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,320
just based on the like little 
bits of information we have 

854
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,080
about the story. 
So I guess I would guess that 

855
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,920
it's less going to be you're 
popping around a million 

856
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:40,760
different places and more you do
Void Spire and like you do the 

857
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,960
six bosses together, then you 
pop over. 

858
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,280
I guess one thing I'm forgetting
is that you guys tend to finish 

859
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,440
normal on like Night 1. 
So we might be a little 

860
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,960
different. 
I know as I'm speaking, I 

861
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,760
understand the issue a little 
bit more clearly. 

862
00:49:54,760 --> 00:50:00,360
Yeah, but also Lex. 
If your team hits a wall going 

863
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,880
through the six boss raid and 
you haven't attempted the other 

864
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,840
ones, don't you think there's a 
point where we're like, oh, 

865
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,400
we're really not working on 
this. 

866
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,440
Let's go deal with like the 
other raid to go get some gear. 

867
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,000
Like I think all teams are going
to have that kind of discussion,

868
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,840
even if like they don't do it 
all the time. 

869
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,640
That's fair. 
And I do, actually, I'm really. 

870
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,600
Interested, as a raid leader, 
how we're going to approach 

871
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,560
this, Because I think you guys 
are right. 

872
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,480
There's going to be kind of a 
path that people take. 

873
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:26,640
But I'm guessing that we are 
going to have some degree of 

874
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,840
conversation about how we're 
going to go about this and then 

875
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,240
how we want to make it work. 
Because, yeah, you know, if you 

876
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:34,400
have a rough night, you can do 
March and get involved. 

877
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:36,800
Yeah, I don't think you're going
to be. 

878
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,760
Able to, though I think the 
difficulty will be tuned like 

879
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,800
the way I'm reading this. 
So six boss raid, 2 boss raid, 1

880
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:50,440
bus raid is you would do the 
first six bosses of the current 

881
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:55,280
raid and then after boss 6 you 
would leave and then the next 

882
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,320
two boss raid would be the next 
two bosses. 

883
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:03,000
So bosses 6:00 and 7:00. 
So Fractalis and Nexus King and 

884
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,440
then the one bus raid would be 
De Bencia. 

885
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,760
Seen that example like that. 
I don't think you're going to 

886
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,960
have the, I don't think if you 
get on boss four of the six boss

887
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,760
raid and you get stuck. 
I don't anticipate this is 

888
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,840
assuming that the difficulty 
curve goes 6 bus raid, 2 bus 

889
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,440
raid, 1 bus raid. 
I don't think you're going to 

890
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,360
have the option to go to another
raid and get Lube because I 

891
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,680
think it's going to be tuned to 
expect that you had cleared that

892
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,080
six boss raid or vice versa. 
If you if you start on the 2 

893
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,880
boss raid and you struggle on 
the second like I I expect that 

894
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,280
there there's if I. 
Will be very. 

895
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,680
Frustrated if they tune it so 
that the first boss of the two 

896
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,600
boss raid is easy and the second
boss of the two boss raid 

897
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,440
requires that you've cleared the
six boss raid first, but you 

898
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,560
can't clear the six boss raid 
until you click if. 

899
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,520
If that is the difficulty curve,
that'll be brutal. 

900
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,560
That'll that'll suck. 
It's going to be clear through 

901
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:51,760
1, clear through 1, clear 
through 1. 

902
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,560
So any rate team that clears all
of normal, all of heroic in a 

903
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,320
single night or even when you're
in farm. 

904
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,400
So when you're far, it's every 
rate team basically. 

905
00:51:59,080 --> 00:51:59,800
It will. 
I agree with that. 

906
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,520
You don't get annoying. 
You'll lose time because of 

907
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,720
travel. 
But I don't think this is like I

908
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,360
don't, I don't think this is 
going to be like some novel idea

909
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,680
that changes rating. 
I just think it's a nine bus 

910
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,720
tier that includes more travel 
time than usual. 

911
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,600
Were you guys playing? 
During Mr. Pandaria raiding in 

912
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,080
during Mr. Pandaria. 
No, no. 

913
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,760
OK, so Mr. Pandaria is the last 
time this this happened, but the

914
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,000
raids weren't released all at 
the same time. 

915
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,000
You had Mogashon vaults. 
You cleared through Mogashon 

916
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,520
vaults. 
You went into heart affair. 

917
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:28,760
You cleared through heart 
affair. 

918
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,440
You went to terrorists of the 
endless. 

919
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:35,240
Sorry, terrorists of everlasting
Spring or something. 

920
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:37,520
It's it was just called toes. 
I apologize. 

921
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,000
I don't recall exactly what that
stood for. 

922
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,120
So you remember toes? 
Though. 

923
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,920
I mean, it's Alotaph season. 
Everybody remembers toes. 

924
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,280
We're all thinking about the 
toes. 

925
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,040
So. 
Like there was a very clear 

926
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,400
path, but there was a point 
where it's like, OK, maybe you 

927
00:52:53,400 --> 00:53:01,440
were having issues in a later 
boss of the first the first one.

928
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:06,200
So you would clear through some 
of the bosses in Heart of an 

929
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,400
Sorry Heart of fear. 
And thank you Epidemi who 

930
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,960
reminded me that it is Terrace 
of Endless Spring. 

931
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:18,080
Anyways, there was also an 
example if you guys remember BFA

932
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,360
where we had the battle for Tsar
lore and then the Crucible of 

933
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,520
Storms came out right after. 
Crucible of storms was really 

934
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:29,280
13, boss 13 and boss 14. 
You needed to be geared from 

935
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:33,000
from one raid to really have a 
good chance in the other. 

936
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,200
And I think like if they do 
that, if they stagger the 

937
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:41,960
releases so that it kind of 
telegraphs that it would be 

938
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,840
best. 
But like right now what we're 

939
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,720
hearing is that they're all 
released at the same time and 

940
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:54,000
you guys got to figure it out. 
And I, I feel that is a man. 

941
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,760
Am I asking for time gating? 
Is that what's happening here? 

942
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,360
I think I'm asking for time 
gating. 

943
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,400
Come at me, friends. 
Oh, that would be that. 

944
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,440
Would be worse. 
Do not time gate this. 

945
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,880
That would be horrible. 
This Well, I I this. 

946
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,680
Is why I I don't anticipate that
they are going to make it so 

947
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:15,360
that like you go like I my guess
is that the first boss. 

948
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,480
I I I'm guessing. 
That Dream Rift and March are 

949
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,240
going to be more complex because
they're smaller, the same way 

950
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,960
the Crucible was more complex 
because it was smaller. 

951
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,320
But I, I guess I don't know, I'm
really curious how they're going

952
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:28,440
to do this and I'm really 
excited. 

953
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,120
I think that this could be 
really fun and, and give us a 

954
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,520
lot of ways to move around in, 
in ways we don't usually have to

955
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:35,960
move around. 
For example, I'm really curious 

956
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,200
how this is going to affect race
the world 1st and whether there 

957
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,160
might be something where like 
one thing I was really excited 

958
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,800
about when they announced this 
actually is, I think I was 

959
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,680
complaining a few episodes back 
that there's really no space for

960
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,520
other teams to be anything other
than like first boss players. 

961
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,480
But I can imagine a world where 
it's set in such a way that the 

962
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,680
big teams hit voidspeer 
Voidspire immediately to try to 

963
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,600
get the biggest, the most 
impressive race to world first. 

964
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,640
But you can. 
There are smaller teams that are

965
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,280
competing dream rift in March. 
That said, as I say this, that 

966
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:05,800
also means that you're splitting
attention a lot. 

967
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,960
So like who knows if anyone 
cares, But I I, I I can see a 

968
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,560
lot of I can totally agree with 
you guys. 

969
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,480
I can see a lot of ways this is 
going to suck, but I can also 

970
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:13,920
see a lot of ways where this can
be really cool. 

971
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,520
And it's going to open up rating
in in such a way that it's, it's

972
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,160
easier to plug in and teams 
getting more creative, right? 

973
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,240
Teams that maybe struggle, 
struggle in, in certain aspects,

974
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:26,480
like teams that have like weaker
DPS might have different ones 

975
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,680
that they go on or teams that 
struggle with healing might have

976
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:33,200
things that they work on. 
And anyway, I, I'm, I'm excited 

977
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,080
about this. 
I think this is really cool and 

978
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,200
I think this has the opportunity
to be really exciting. 

979
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:39,880
I'm going to say it's all about 
the loot. 

980
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,520
Where's the tear? 
People are going to stack those 

981
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,280
raids real quick if they if it's
within shooting distance and you

982
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:51,320
can sort of skip the final boss 
of the sixth boss one and then 

983
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,640
get tear from the other ones. 
People will jump around for the 

984
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,680
loot, even if the difficulty 
isn't quite that way. 

985
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,040
So there's a lot of things that 
will affect race to world first 

986
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,120
progress and like what they what
they hit or not. 

987
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,000
Like the quote UN quote optional
boss has like boots that 

988
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,160
everybody wants. 
So it's it's something that 

989
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,600
people will hit. 
But like with this reset that 

990
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,400
happened, did the teams go back 
and do do that or did they go 

991
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,640
straight to try and like get 
Prague? 

992
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,280
Sean, you be casting everybody. 
Re cleared, Yeah, everybody do 

993
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:25,680
the full re clear. 
OK, yeah. 

994
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:27,840
And they one shot every. 
Boss on the re clear because of 

995
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,120
the nerves. 
Oh, wow. 

996
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:35,080
OK, OK, so yeah, this is this 
will be interesting for for 

997
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,560
rating progress both at the at 
home level and the race world 

998
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,240
first. 
It'll be, it'll be cool to see 

999
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:48,440
how that goes, but we've been 
talking about the Harandar and 

1000
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,680
where the here and there come 
from. 

1001
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,880
So it should be no surprise to 
anybody that we are getting the 

1002
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,040
here and there as a playable 
race. 

1003
00:56:56,240 --> 00:57:02,000
After vanishing from the face of
the earth at the start of 

1004
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,440
Undermine, they are back in a 
big way. 

1005
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:09,040
They can be Horde or Alliance. 
They are able to roll as a 

1006
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,880
druid, a warrior or hunter, a 
rogue, a priest, a mage, A 

1007
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:18,200
warlock, A monk or shaman. 
Obviously so many people are 

1008
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,800
looking at those druid forms and
saying Druid, druid. 

1009
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,840
That means that you know you 
cannot be a death knight, you 

1010
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,760
cannot be a paladin, you cannot 
be an evoker, nor can you be a 

1011
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,720
Demon Hunter. 
Why you would want to be a 

1012
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:36,200
paladin clearly that's just 
somebody being masochistic, but 

1013
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:42,720
what what do you guys say here 
and are interesting you let's 

1014
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:46,040
start with you Lex I'm. 
Boycotting it because I still 

1015
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,520
haven't gotten murlocs. 
I will not be playing a hard 

1016
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,480
here. 
Mostly there. 

1017
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,080
There's other reasons that we're
playing a hard here, but we're 

1018
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,280
going to talk about that in a 
hot sack. 

1019
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,360
So I'll we'll put a pin in that 
10. 

1020
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:02,760
OK, OK, I like. 
That they don't wear shoes like 

1021
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,320
trolls and I like that they have
feet like night owls so. 

1022
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,560
There you go, Blizzard. 
Blizzard was like catching in 

1023
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,520
the Lasala toes or like now you 
can play a race that you see the

1024
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,680
toes all the time. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1025
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,640
I mean, I'm in different. 
I'm, I'm glad we're getting 

1026
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,160
another race. 
I guess people like them. 

1027
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,840
I'm going to play the same 2 
races I've always played So 

1028
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,800
cool. 
I'm happy for Pete. 

1029
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,040
Like, you know, I know there's a
lot of people who are really 

1030
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,320
upset that the hair and hair 
weren't over every aspect of 

1031
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,200
Undermine and or Koresh because 
they don't understand that you 

1032
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,160
can start a story, beat and then
set it down for a minute and 

1033
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,080
then pick it back up later. 
Media literacy is really tough. 

1034
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,160
And so they thought, well, 
they're not immediately talking 

1035
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,160
with them right now. 
They must not exist anymore. 

1036
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,800
Did Blizzard delete them? 
And they'll go to. 

1037
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,080
Their back, weird, yeah, a lot 
of a lot of appearance changes, 

1038
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:52,960
though. 
They look pretty cool. 

1039
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,200
Happy for folks to get a class 
that they wanted, the player 

1040
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,040
race that they wanted to play. 
You know, anybody who looks at 

1041
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,480
the Heron air and think, oh man,
that's me. 

1042
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,520
I'm glad you can play as them. 
I think this is the. 

1043
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,880
First time that we are repeating
a rate like a a race in the 

1044
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,440
allied races though, am I 
correct? 

1045
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:13,320
Because this is the second troll
ish is that they're not really a

1046
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,360
troll. 
Well, I mean, they're I want to 

1047
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,640
get an halfway step. 
Between. 

1048
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,040
Troll and and elves and night 
elves, yeah, and I'm. 

1049
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,320
Also being an idiot. 
Because dark eye we have dark 

1050
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,120
iron dwarfs and we also have 
earthen. 

1051
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:30,040
So I immediately am proven wrong
interaction OK, but I mean like.

1052
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,760
The Urban got deleted after 
undermine, so there you go, 

1053
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:38,440
deleted. 
But yeah, now we've got the hair

1054
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:45,000
and R who have avoided that same
fate and I'm interested in 

1055
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,840
seeing them. 
I think they did a good job when

1056
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,920
they introduced the urban with 
their like local stories and 

1057
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,160
stuff, making them, making them 
seem really cool that I but I 

1058
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,840
haven't touched an Urban since 
the Harn air. 

1059
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,880
I think it's going to be pretty 
similar where it's like, Oh, 

1060
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:01,200
that's cool. 
And that's like a really cool 

1061
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,360
story. 
And then they're just going to 

1062
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,960
be like, OK. 
I think when Blizzard was 

1063
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,480
introducing races before they 
really made the expansion all 

1064
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:13,360
about that race, like burning 
Crusade was so blood elves, so 

1065
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:18,240
so deny and so and so forth. 
Like you had Morgan all over the

1066
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,960
place and and goblins all over 
the place. 

1067
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,760
Now it's just sort of like a, 
OK, this is a a feature and 

1068
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,840
like, maybe I like the aesthetic
or maybe I don't. 

1069
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:32,320
These guys I I don't like open 
feet like this not my not my 

1070
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:33,200
thing. 
Sorry. 

1071
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:40,840
I do moving right along. 
Can you talk about the new spec 

1072
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,120
coming? 
I think, oh man, I don't even 

1073
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,440
know who to throw this to 
because you guys, did you want 

1074
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:46,240
me to? 
Did you want me to? 

1075
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,800
Do this one you do over it. 
I'm going to get water did. 

1076
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,120
You want? 
Go ahead, legs. 

1077
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,360
OK, so. 
You all thought we were crazy. 

1078
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,720
You all thought we were 
ridiculous and silly. 

1079
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,240
We are getting a third Demon 
Hunter spec and it's void themed

1080
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,640
and it's range and it's called 
devour. 

1081
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,360
It's mid range. 
Sorry, it's mid range. 

1082
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,840
It's called devourer. 
You're so again, it's it's 

1083
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,120
focused on soul harvesting 
techniques. 

1084
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,320
So presumably it's a build and 
burn thing. 

1085
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:12,640
I'm think I'm using words 
correctly. 

1086
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,240
You're doing some range, some 
meat and some melee. 

1087
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:17,600
You're kind of popping all in 
and out. 

1088
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,920
You can get void elf demon 
hunters now, which is super 

1089
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:26,280
exciting. 
And I, I, I, OK, I'm actually 

1090
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,840
going to spend a couple seconds.
I'm going to appeal directly to 

1091
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,920
FAS dev FAS dev. 
I'm never going to ask this of 

1092
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,760
you again. 
I've never asked of it of you 

1093
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,320
before. 
I just need this one thing. 

1094
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,480
I need you to get me alpha 
access. 

1095
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,920
I need, I need this so much. 
This is the only time in my 

1096
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,560
entire life that I'm ever going 
to play alpha. 

1097
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:43,840
This I. 
I need to play. 

1098
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,680
Devour I'm so excited and if it 
sucks I'm going to be devastated

1099
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:51,800
but Oh my God I've 'cause I OK 
OK OK here's the thing. 

1100
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,960
I'm not really a melee girl. 
I play melee because I enjoy the

1101
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,400
Demon Hunter mobility and the 
way that it it moves like 

1102
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,680
movement is so part of the the 
spec. 

1103
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,600
Unclear if that's going to be 
true of our but I kind of can't 

1104
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,400
imagine a Demon Hunter speck 
that isn't mobile. 

1105
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,920
Like that would just be such a 
departure from a Demon Hunter. 

1106
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,440
I'm like why would you even make
that a Demon Hunter speck? 

1107
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,880
Just make a new class, Not that 
I have any feelings on that. 

1108
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,960
So I'm hoping, guessing knock on
wood, that this will also be 

1109
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,760
mobile and if I could have a 
mobile range class my life would

1110
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,560
be set. 
Do you have any idea how happy 

1111
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,080
I'd be? 
This would be the greatest thing

1112
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,320
that ever happened to me so I'm 
really excited about the power. 

1113
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,000
How does anyone have thoughts? 
I. 

1114
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:35,000
I want to introduce you to 
Hunter, which is a mobile range 

1115
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:41,400
spec that often can just keep 
moving around and do damage not 

1116
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,680
caring. 
But I do think that the mid 

1117
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,000
range part of this is pretty 
interesting. 

1118
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:55,400
This is them kind of doubling 
down on the evoker thing where 

1119
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,560
it's like OK, 25 yard range, not
that 40 yard range. 

1120
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:04,320
Also making a Demon Hunter have 
an option where it's not in the 

1121
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:09,560
puddle of melee is is also 
pretty interesting. 

1122
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:17,480
I think that I, I, I think that 
this is definitely something 

1123
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:21,960
that could shake up stuff. 
It's going to be a question of 

1124
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:27,840
do you play Havoc or do you play
Devourer? 

1125
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,560
Like which one plays safer in 
the mechanics? 

1126
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,520
You're getting that same buff. 
They're fighting over that, that

1127
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,560
same spot. 
I don't know, like it. 

1128
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,880
It might just be in terms of 
like tuning what? 

1129
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,200
What's the utility that Demon 
Hunter brings? 

1130
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:50,040
Usually it's just that 5% magic 
damage buff and bringing its own

1131
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,320
damage. 
Well, first of all, yeah. 

1132
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,440
The 5% would be pretty chunky if
I'm also doing magic damage in 

1133
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,120
this case. 
I guess maybe I'm not. 

1134
01:03:58,120 --> 01:03:59,560
I don't know how damage works. 
It doesn't matter. 

1135
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:04,080
I mean, darkness is always. 
Great in terms of like a a nice 

1136
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,760
little defensive utility? 
Well, I'd like to be sure, I 

1137
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,400
don't think. 
Maybe I'm about to look like an 

1138
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:10,920
idiot. 
I don't think every class has 

1139
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,200
like unique utility right? 
Like there are certain ones that

1140
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,680
do really exciting things, but 
not everyone if you're. 

1141
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,240
Talking from a mythic bus 
perspective, demon hunters bring

1142
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,160
Casanova so it's an ALE stun. 
They bring darkness as you 

1143
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:26,480
mentioned. 
They bring an immunity and 

1144
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,680
another walk. 
They bring in prison which is 

1145
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,280
nice for skips if they're a 
night elf. 

1146
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,680
And if you're playing and you're
not a night elf Demon Hunter, 

1147
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,200
you're not playing seriously. 
They bring shadows or they bring

1148
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,520
shadow meld. 
That everybody should know. 

1149
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,320
My Demon Hunter is a blood elf 
so I am in the non serious club.

1150
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:51,240
So that's they bring those 
things and then yeah, from a 

1151
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,440
raid perspective, it's the 
you're looking at darkness, 

1152
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,720
you're looking at a potential 
nether walk immunity, good 

1153
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,280
damage, good self 
sustainability, high mobility. 

1154
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,520
Also many those fun and. 
They bring, they bring fun and 

1155
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,480
fun and it's. 
Fun to make fun of you when you 

1156
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,160
backflip off. 
The off the arena and that's 

1157
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,560
really good for. 
You to noom, Noom all. 

1158
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:11,440
Over the place, you literally 
knew. 

1159
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,600
It's so exciting. 
Oh my God, you guys. 

1160
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,600
I the problem is Devourer is 
going to come out and it's going

1161
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,000
to be a like stop and cast like 
nothing like other demon 

1162
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,840
hunters, and I'm going to be the
most disappointed I've ever been

1163
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:25,800
in my life. 
But as of right now, it's going 

1164
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,240
to be so slow over the moon. 
So slow. 

1165
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,480
It's going to be awesome. 
You're going to be playing your 

1166
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,440
devoured Demon Hunter cursing 
that they can't do pray 

1167
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,640
correctly I because the tuning 
is off. 

1168
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:41,720
I did end up playing. 
Void Elf for like simply because

1169
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,160
I got so committed when they 
announced void elf to being 

1170
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,200
excited about void elf that when
it came out I was like, well, I 

1171
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,680
guess I'm playing Void elf until
I switch to Demon Hunter. 

1172
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,160
So first of all, I'm going back 
to void elf. 

1173
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,200
But also the fact that I'm 
saying publicly that I'm really 

1174
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,840
excited about this means when it
comes out I will feel obligated 

1175
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,520
to love it. 
Like I'm going to be like, well,

1176
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,680
I'm determined to enjoy 
devourer, so I'm going to be the

1177
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:05,520
biggest devourer since you've 
ever seen. 

1178
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,560
I mean, like you, you get to 
enjoy it on the alpha and then 

1179
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,720
you, you can ditch it when it 
goes live. 

1180
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,160
You're like, I had my fun. 
And then they made those changes

1181
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,840
and oh, I, I gave it, I gave it 
a fair shot. 

1182
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,880
That's basically how you can't 
have trouble. 

1183
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:20,720
So. 
That is true. 

1184
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,120
I have to be fair. 
I'm saying I want alpha so bad, 

1185
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,440
but previously when I got alpha 
I like obsessively told everyone

1186
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,400
how much they needed to play 
this game because it's the best 

1187
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,680
thing that ever came out. 
And then once it became big, I 

1188
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:35,440
was like, oh, I don't really 
like this boy. 

1189
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,000
OK, All right, festive, ignore 
that last comment. 

1190
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,920
We'll see if you can get alpha. 
But yeah, all of this is is 

1191
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,040
there. 
There was also a lot of talk 

1192
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,520
about housing, but unfortunately
we are already at an hour here, 

1193
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,960
so we're really going to have to
cut this short. 

1194
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,600
There's so much info out there. 
There's more info that's coming 

1195
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:01,680
on out later this week, so we 
will be going going through that

1196
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,680
as well in the next episode. 
Before we run though, I have one

1197
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:08,160
more thing. 
That's what I was about to ask. 

1198
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:09,200
Do you have anything? 
You want to add? 

1199
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,520
Yeah, one more thing. 
Transmog is going to be cheaper 

1200
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:20,320
and it no not free cheaper. 
The headlines on every single 

1201
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,640
website that said that 
transmogging will be free are a 

1202
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:28,080
gross misrepresentation of what 
the actual reality is for 

1203
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,840
transmogging. 
So they're switching to a slot 

1204
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,440
based transmog instead of right 
now. 

1205
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,360
The way transmog works is you 
transmog the specific item 

1206
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,320
you're wearing to look like 
something else. 

1207
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,000
The transition they're making is
you will be, so you have to pay 

1208
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,160
every time you get a new piece 
of armor to transmog it. 

1209
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,960
The transition they're making is
you'll be transmogging to the 

1210
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,760
slot itself, so you'll make your
shoulders look a certain way. 

1211
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:56,040
That will still cost you gold, 
but it remains that look 

1212
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,480
forever. 
You pay once for the for 

1213
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,640
creating the outfit and then you
can change the outfits for free,

1214
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:06,240
but you still will have to pay 
for that initial outfit that you

1215
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,480
set up. 
So not free, but much cheaper, 

1216
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,600
which is nice. 
But every you're right, Manny, 

1217
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:16,600
literally every single news 
aggregate website said 

1218
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:21,240
transmogging will be free in the
war within in mid in midnight. 

1219
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:27,479
And they're all liars. 
They're all click baity liars. 

1220
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,720
I'm looking at you in chat. 
You know who you are, you click 

1221
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,359
baiter. 
I'm blaming him. 

1222
01:08:34,359 --> 01:08:40,720
I know he didn't do it well, OK.
I I I'm looking forward to my 

1223
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,319
almost free trans blog in 
midnight and I am looking 

1224
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:46,760
forward to the next episode 
because we have a lot more 

1225
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,760
information that is going to be 
coming out through Gamescon and 

1226
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,880
we will be going through that as
well. 

1227
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,000
So make sure you are back here 
or jump into the discord bit dot

1228
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:02,359
LY flat slash fast discord so 
that you can join in the 

1229
01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:05,359
conversations. 
Until next time, though, may all

1230
01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:06,279
your hits be quits.
