1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,680
You are having a massive Crest 
Crest savings which means you 

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,280
can Max that gear out sooner, 
which then gives you an 

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,600
advantage in mythic plus against
somebody who's not clearing the 

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,440
raid on mythic faster because 
your gear is now a higher level 

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,880
than they can get at the same 
point because we're capped by 

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,480
crests. 
Victory for the Forsaken. 

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,320
For Lauderon for the Karen tour.
For. 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:31,320
Pandaria for calendar to the 
burning region for Gilnaeus or 

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:40,000
has not died for the Lich King 
for the Sindori for the Alliance

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,360
for the. 
Horn for. 

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Azeroth Hello and welcome back 
to another episode of For 

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,320
Azeroth. 
I am one of your host Manny. 

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,160
It gave true villain Manny and I
have with me my 2 wonderful 

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,000
codes. 
First introducing from the 

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,680
lovely I was trying just trying 
to go for alliteration there, 

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,720
but I failed. 
What's the place in I was going 

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,880
to say Louisiana, but like I was
thinking of something in between

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,160
like Burroughs or like 
Countryside that I couldn't 

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,560
think of an L word. 
Anyways, Lex, how are you doing?

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,920
What about Montana? 
I hear the Big Sky country. 

21
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:24,280
The mansions of Montana would 
work, but the like. 

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,480
What of Louisiana? 
Lagoons of Louisiana. 

23
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,120
Lagoons, I feel like there's 
there's another word that's like

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,400
on the tip of my tongue, but I 
can't figure out what it is. 

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,240
And there's going to be like 
when people on Spotify made fun 

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,200
of us for not knowing the 
difference between crawfish and.

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Oh yeah, yeah. 
They make fun. 

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Of yes, people like I can't 
believe three people don't know.

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,800
I can't believe you get 3 people
together and don't know anything

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320
about crawfish. 
And I'm like I want to take a. 

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,680
The La Bayous, we'll just go. 
We'll go flat out. 

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,720
We'll just go nice easy 
landscapes of Louisiana. 

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
There you go. 
And so Lex, how are you and 

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,120
how's the World of Warcraft been
treating you? 

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,000
It's. 
Treating me good I got my little

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440
butterfly today I decided to 
actually grind for something for

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
once in my life and because 
World of Warcraft loves bad luck

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,280
protection. 
It was like 3 days and then I 

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,280
got my little butterfly. 
So yeah, I got a Pretty Little 

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,240
butterfly and tomorrow my Guild 
is doing our final run of 

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,000
dementias and then we will be 
obviously almost to actual 

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160
midnight. 
So-called 1155 kids. 

43
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,760
There you go. 
Congratulations on the butterfly

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,440
mount and I hope that you guys 
enjoy your last run of 

45
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,080
dementias. 
Everyone's doing. 

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,120
In my server about how we're 
never going to be able to do it 

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,280
because nobody's been 
practicing. 

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,720
And I'm like, well, we'll see. 
From what I've heard we will be 

49
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400
OK. 
Yeah, I I think it was Sean who 

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,080
1st called it that. 
Like the heavy nerves made it 

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,400
pretty laughable to a lot of 
people so. 

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,160
You're doing it on Heroic, 
right? 

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah. 

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,960
OK. 
Yeah, you'll be fine. 

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,400
And then the other voice that 
you just heard, of course, is 

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Sean. 
Hello, Sean. 

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,200
How are you and how's the World 
of Warcraft been treating you? 

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,880
I'm back. 
I took a show off. 

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,520
I recovered or recouped. 
I'm doing good. 

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,640
I haven't logged in to Warcraft.
I did the love rocket a couple 

61
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:18,000
of times because I guess you're 
supposed to. 

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,560
I did see you logged in doing 
the love rocket. 

63
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,240
I was just like. 
Yeah, I just do it once a day. 

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,040
I pop in, I run it. 
If I get I got all of the other 

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,040
mounts except for the Love 
Rocket, but then because I got 

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,720
the butterfly I had to go and 
turn in my man card because that

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,600
means I'm an awful person who 
doesn't love war enough or 

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,680
something. 
So there's that only. 

69
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Hatred. 
That's right, there's that. 

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,200
Now I I had to sit in a re 
locked room with the lights 

71
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,840
dimmed and stare at that picture
of gramma shell scream that was 

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,280
penned on a bar napkin by Chris 
Metzen 30 years ago until I felt

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760
the testosterone returned to my 
body. 

74
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
My penance has been served. 
OK, OK. 

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,240
They wouldn't let you out of the
room until you could answer that

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,480
age-old questions. 
Wahoo. 

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,120
What is it good for? 
That's. 

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,360
Right. 
That's right. 

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,279
Yeah, yeah. 
All right, OK, well, I, I 

80
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,920
haven't suffered that punishment
yet, but I also got the 

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,480
butterfly this year, got the 
butterfly, got the sweeper broom

82
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,600
that came out. 
And so all that is left is the 

83
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,520
X-45, which remains my Moby 
Dick. 

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,920
I am Captain Ahab. 
I have resorted to the old 

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,240
account. 
Yeah, I flat out like I was, I 

86
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,040
went like what? 
I think 3 days I was just like, 

87
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960
I'll go run through it on all 
these different characters. 

88
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,200
I've actually got some 
characters I've hit like 80 

89
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,840
because of this now, so that now
they're ready for midnight and 

90
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,800
like all of that. 
I guess I would have to do 

91
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,600
anyways, because in order to 
have a chance at the mount, you 

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,320
have to be like within, like, 
you have to like, at least try 

93
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,560
and run these characters 
through. 

94
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,320
But like, the first one is the 
highest, highest chance. 

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,800
And so, yeah, I eventually was 
like, screw it. 

96
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Everybody was telling me like, 
just do the old account. 

97
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,280
And it feels dirty, guys. 
It feels like cheating. 

98
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,040
Do you have to pay for those 
accounts? 

99
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,720
No. 
Oh, they're just starter. 

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,720
They're starter accounts. 
Yeah. 

101
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,600
You so for people who don't know
how this works because it isn't 

102
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,120
against the terms of service so 
I might as well just tell you 

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,240
here. 
What you do is you just go over 

104
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,520
to your Battle.net, you start up
4 starter accounts, you create 

105
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:58,400
characters that are level 10 on 
on a server, you group your 

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,360
starter accounts and your main 
account all into one party. 

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520
So make sure that somebody can 
be a healer and somebody can be 

108
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,400
a tank. 
And then you've run the dungeon 

109
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,160
because you're getting the the 
heart-shaped box all at the same

110
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,000
time and they're being generated
at the same time. 

111
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,680
All of those five chances have 
the the increase odds of getting

112
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680
the the drops. 
So technically I've gotten 2 

113
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,560
butterflies on the same day. 
Go ahead. 

114
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,800
I remember in the before times 
when combat weak or as existed, 

115
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,960
a lot of people who I would 
classify probably as people who 

116
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,320
enjoy the content casually or 
collectors would scream you're 

117
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,880
only so good because the weak or
as play for you when they're 

118
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,400
cheating. 
This is the collector version of

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,240
weak or as playing the game for 
you. 

120
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,400
I'd say it's. 
Worse, but keep going. 

121
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,600
So yeah, if you're doing this, 
you're not really a collector, 

122
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,640
you're just getting it because 
you're cheating. 

123
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,040
So. 
Good news, man, Would you, would

124
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,840
you say that like weak horse 
makes you less of a would you 

125
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,960
say that weak horse make you 
less of a cutting edge Raider 

126
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,840
because you had weak horse 
helping you there? 

127
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,400
I would if I am being facetious,
if we're if we're playing. 

128
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,640
If we're playing Sean on the 
everyday, not just trying to win

129
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,920
this argument, where does Sean 
stand? 

130
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,240
Oh, Sean would say, go get that 
mouth. 

131
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,960
Go get. 
OK, just wanted to know. 

132
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,160
Just because. 
Yeah, I don't know. 

133
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Because. 
Eventually people are going to 

134
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,400
be like, huh, Sean seems to be 
talking out of both sides of his

135
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,400
mouth. 
Is that cheating? 

136
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Yeah, which Sean is the real 
Sean? 

137
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,400
And the answer is neither. 
OK. 

138
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,480
Yeah. 
So it's there. 

139
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,680
It does give you the greatly 
increased chances. 

140
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,680
It does ramp up bad luck 
protection for all of them 

141
00:07:53,880 --> 00:08:00,640
except for the of course the X 
45, which doesn't have bad luck 

142
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,600
protection. 
It just has its inflated chance 

143
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,720
and then its regular chance. 
No bad luck protection on that 

144
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,160
anyways. 
So then after I did that, I went

145
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,080
and I got the ZAI Trustee 
glider, the one that you have to

146
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,920
go into the raid. 
So I did some LFR. 

147
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,760
Sorry to those people who were 
not expecting their tank to 

148
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,280
ditch them part way through the 
boss after he got the stuff that

149
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,120
I needed. 
Manny. 

150
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,720
You guys are telling me you go 
into LFR and you don't expect 

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,200
your tank to ditch part way 
through? 

152
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,039
At least I am the I am the tank.
I am the tank, I know. 

153
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,360
So you know you're ditching part
way. 

154
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Through. 
I know you're prepared. 

155
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Yeah, technically I'm only 
planning to do that one boss 

156
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,240
anyway, so I'm not ditching part
way through. 

157
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
I've done what I wanted to do in
LF. 

158
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Yeah, it was. 
It was actually the one run I 

159
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,800
only ditched after the first 
boss. 

160
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,160
The second one, one I ditched 
after clearing all three because

161
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,040
you needed to get past Fractalis
in order to get to the place 

162
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,960
that I needed. 
So, you know, I wasn't always 

163
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,280
bad, I was just bad when it 
convenienced me. 

164
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,320
Yeah. 
But there's a lot going on in 

165
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,920
World of Warcraft, but we're 
we've got so much that we're 

166
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,520
going to have to narrow this 
down. 

167
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,040
The first thing that I want to 
talk about is some upcoming 

168
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,240
stuff that people are going to 
be dealing with. 

169
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,000
This is a change in the way that
you upgrade your gear. 

170
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,200
Now everybody knows that valor 
points are going the way. 

171
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,520
As a dodo, we're not going to be
dealing with those anymore. 

172
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,440
But it doesn't mean that you 
only need Crest to upgrade. 

173
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,120
They have changed it so that on 
top of using Crest, you will 

174
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,840
also need to pay some gold to 
upgrade your gear. 

175
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,440
Now. 
It isn't that. 

176
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,520
It isn't that the price is 
fixed, depending on what track 

177
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,880
of gear you're on, that price 
will it will increase. 

178
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,360
So veterans gear versus like 
mythic gear will have a 

179
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400
different cost per upgrade that 
you put out there. 

180
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,640
And this kind of makes me wish 
that the the change where they 

181
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,000
were allowing for up to 18 to 
give you further upgrades into 

182
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,640
the path was there. 
Because that means that mythic 

183
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400
track at the end of the week 
from your vault, you're going to

184
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,840
have to spend the full full way 
upgrade. 

185
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,920
Whereas every track below that 
you have the ability to save on 

186
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,080
some of that upgrade. 
So it feels weirdly punitive to 

187
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:48,080
the top level of play of play. 
Top level of mythic plus because

188
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,000
from raid if you are a mythic 
Raider, your gear will drop at 

189
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,320
those elevated tracks the 
further in the raid you are. 

190
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:01,400
So yeah. 
I have a question, Sean, if when

191
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,320
you're rating and you unlock the
different gear because it's 

192
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,600
based on the bosses that you've 
defeated it in a in A tier, the 

193
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,360
earlier, the earlier gear that 
does get raised to the level, 

194
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,560
right? 
Correct me wrong. 

195
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,640
So like. 
It does. 

196
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,200
Yeah, that's like a savings 
across the board from your 

197
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040
selection. 
Yeah, more so so the gold 

198
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,080
savings I think it's I have I 
have I have feelings with the 

199
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,320
gold savings, but I have had a 
converse, a very good and deep 

200
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
conversation with a friend who 
feels the exact opposite that I 

201
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200
do. 
So I will say that I think the 

202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,880
gold amount is negligible for 
the upgrades. 

203
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,640
I think Blizzard hurt us with 
the trans mug stuff and said OK,

204
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,440
we will make this cost less. 
I will talk about his point of 

205
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,920
view later on. 
But more importantly, the the 

206
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,400
biggest savings is in the Crest 
cost because Crest cost goes up 

207
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,520
now when you upgrade. 
So it's like 10 for the first 

208
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,880
track, 20 for the second track, 
30 up to whatever. 

209
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,520
So it ramps up so that it's 
going to be harder to upgrade 

210
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,960
tracks into the further ones. 
So if you're clearing the raid 

211
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,760
sooner in mythic, you are having
a massive Crest savings, which 

212
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,600
means you can Max that gear out 
sooner, which then gives you an 

213
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,960
advantage in Mythic Plus against
somebody who's not clearing the 

214
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,800
raid on mythic faster because 
your gear is now a higher level 

215
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,240
than they can get at the same 
point because we're capped by 

216
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,240
crests. 
So the the Crest savings from 

217
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,920
the vault from from mythic 
grading is is massive. 

218
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,840
It is a massive, massive 
advantage. 

219
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:43,480
Sort of be goblin on Maine, but 
doesn't this push a lot of weird

220
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,000
power into crafted gear 'cause 
if you crafted something high 

221
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,680
and then suddenly you don't need
to pay for those crests that 

222
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:56,760
means. 
Crafted gear is significantly 

223
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,560
more valuable in Season 1 at 
midnight as of this recording. 

224
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,080
We don't actually have like 
official numbers from Blizzard, 

225
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,120
but everything that we've data 
mined and seen on the PTR as of 

226
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,920
this recording, crafted gear is 
a massive, massive Crest savings

227
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,560
over levelling up the gear over 
over gear. 

228
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,400
Like raising your your gear 
through the the upgrade system. 

229
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,720
Understood. 
I will say as the resident 

230
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,800
brokey on this podcast, I also 
think this cost is negligible. 

231
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,840
I think it's stupid and 
annoying, especially since so 

232
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,600
many other things are costing 
more gold. 

233
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,320
And as again the resident 
brokey. 

234
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Like I would rather not spend as
much gold, but currently we're 

235
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:40,600
looking at almost like close to 
4000 gold to upgrade everything 

236
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,440
to mythic. 
Assuming I'm assuming the 

237
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,520
Wowhead did their math right, 
I'm not doing it again. 

238
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,600
And you get that in world quests
and stuff like that just kind of

239
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,760
drops over time. 
You got that through like 

240
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,960
reading and selling things. 
It's not like I again, I'm not 

241
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,760
looking at these numbers like 
this is devastating. 

242
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,200
I think it's dumb. 
I think it is a dumb gold sync 

243
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,200
for no apparent reason and the 
fact that the number like either

244
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,840
the numbers are negligible and 
don't matter, in which case why 

245
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,360
are we doing this? 
It's silly, it's negatable, it 

246
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,280
doesn't matter or the gold is 
high enough that it hurts, in 

247
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,080
which case this is stupid. 
Why are we making it hurt right?

248
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,000
So like why, frankly, valor 
stones were nicer because I 

249
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,880
could I don't know, I don't 
think I don't really I think 

250
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,760
it's annoying, but I don't 
really like deeply care right. 

251
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,000
This isn't ruining midnight for 
me. 

252
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,720
I I hope they don't I Blizzard 
don't do it. 

253
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,680
It's dumb but like. 
I, I want to, I want to talk 

254
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,200
about two points that you raised
there. 

255
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,640
One was that like it feels 
negligible as a gold sink. 

256
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,360
Negligible costs are amazing 
gold sinks. 

257
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,800
If you get 5 gold from like a 
million players, that's better 

258
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,920
than hitting 500 gold from 10 
players. 

259
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,000
People will block at 500 gold to
be like, whoa, I'm not going to 

260
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,840
like suddenly 3 digits crazy 
right? 

261
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,640
But 5 gold, 5 gold, 5 gold and 
you hit and you hit like a 

262
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,240
million players you've made 
you've taken way more gold out 

263
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,320
of the system in general. 
So it's it being negligible to 

264
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,680
both you and Sean, but not 
Sean's friend, right? 

265
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,800
That's I think that's a really 
good way of doing a gold, a gold

266
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,080
sink. 
The second thing is, yeah, Lex 

267
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,080
is like when you're looking at 
this and you're thinking of 

268
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,520
World Quest, a world Quest 
today, gold's back in World 

269
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Quest. 
That was a little bit of drama 

270
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,000
we missed where gold disappeared
from World Quest and then they 

271
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,560
came back in. 
But gold's back in World Quest 

272
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,920
and you're getting something 
like 809 hundred gold on a World

273
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Quest. 
I think I've seen some in the 

274
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,960
before times that were that like
we're over 1000, which means 

275
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,640
that like throughout a week, 
yeah, you could build up enough 

276
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,000
gold to like pay through half, 
if not most of the of this 

277
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,760
upgrade track in today's gold 
runs. 

278
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Whereas I don't suspect that 
most people will take something 

279
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,600
from like one out of six to six 
out of six in a single week 

280
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,160
generally right, because they'll
be capped on Crest and other 

281
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,120
resources. 
So I think that the gold isn't 

282
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,240
going to be the limiting factor 
here. 

283
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440
This isn't them trying to 
suddenly push everybody towards 

284
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,280
getting a token to like pay for 
their their gold cost. 

285
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:30,520
This is as I think this feels 
less painful than repair costs. 

286
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,280
When like you've had a hard 
night wiping like this, this 

287
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,400
feels far, far more manageable 
and actually rewarding rather 

288
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:45,320
than punishing. 
I so I don't care and I actively

289
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,920
try to only give my point of 
view on on the podcast. 

290
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,320
I don't like to speak for the 
community at large or especially

291
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,280
player groups that I don't 
belong to or even people in my 

292
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,160
own player group. 
I tried to just say, hey, here's

293
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,640
how this feels to me and that 
this is my feedback for how it 

294
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,359
affects Sean. 
But I do want to address because

295
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,359
you guys are sort of in the same
boat. 

296
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,319
You're like, OK, whatever. 
It's. 

297
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,240
Sure, Yeah, I'd love to hear 
what your friend was trying to. 

298
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,240
Say so for the record my friend.
Also this is negligible for 

299
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,839
them. 
He plays as much as we play, if 

300
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:18,880
not more so. 
He said this will never affect 

301
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,920
me, but he said he doesn't ever 
want the situation to be where 

302
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,839
buying a token is the right way 
to play. 

303
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,119
And I I bought at that. 
And he said there are players, 

304
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,720
let me find it here. 
There are casual players who log

305
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,560
in twice a week and now you're 
telling them they have to choose

306
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,160
between upgrading their gear or 
saving gold for amount. 

307
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,720
He said it's negligible to us, 
but for the majority of players 

308
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,000
who aren't playing this game 
like a living, they're going to 

309
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,560
feel this. 
And I don't belong to that 

310
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800
group. 
And I would also say, is that 

311
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,080
group really getting that much 
gear to upgrade? 

312
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,040
But I don't, I don't know, 
maybe, maybe they are. 

313
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,880
I want to push back on that, but
I'm going to let Lex have her 

314
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,880
say first. 
Oh yeah, I was going to have my 

315
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,600
collectors don't raid moment and
say I don't really think as 

316
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,240
somebody who tends to raid log a
little bit, like I don't think 

317
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,400
people who are only logging in 
once a week and I don't think 

318
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,280
they're pushing the gear. 
I don't think they're going to 

319
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,000
be doing these upgrades a lot. 
And again, I say this as one of 

320
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,120
them, right? 
I do not upgrade my like I'm 

321
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,760
looking at these numbers and I'm
like, yeah, OK, that's about 

322
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,440
what I would collect and it's 
worth. 

323
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,200
I don't know that we've read out
the gold numbers if we did and 

324
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,160
I'm. 
Forgetting no, I just gave a 

325
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560
ballpark because it's beta. 
They might change and stuff. 

326
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,240
But yeah, for current reference 
of what we're talking about, go 

327
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,080
ahead and read those out. 
So currently Adventure track 

328
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080
it's 10 gold per upgrade, 
Veteran track it's 20 gold per 

329
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,480
upgrade, Champion track it's 30 
gold per upgrade, Hero track 

330
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,440
it's 40 gold per upgrade, and 
Mythic is 50 gold per upgrade. 

331
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,920
I actually think that does kind 
of scale with how much you play,

332
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,480
right? 
If you are really just like 

333
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,760
logging in to do like a Dell of 
a week for the walls of it and 

334
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,960
you're not pushing anything, 
you're going to make at least 

335
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,360
enough to upgrade through 10 
gold. 

336
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,520
You know, 1020, maybe 30 gold. 
But frankly, again, I'm pretty 

337
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,200
grade loggy and I am not. 
I wouldn't be concerned if it 

338
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,720
was all the 50 gold. 
I'd still think it's dumb, but 

339
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,680
like I I really think that these
are pretty on par with what you 

340
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,480
are going to make doing the 
content that would give you 

341
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,840
those upgrades or giving that 
that would give you that right. 

342
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,720
So I'm, I, I guess I'm also a 
little bit curious what you're 

343
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760
trying to meant specifically by 
like, we don't want someone 

344
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,840
who's like has to choose between
saving for a mount and like, I'm

345
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,280
actually, I'm trying to think of
what dude, there's always going 

346
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,440
to be competing desires. 
If you're like, if you're, if 

347
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,640
you're pushing and saving goals,
that's an entirely different 

348
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:53,080
world if you're like trying to 
get something, but I don't 

349
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
think, I mean at that point it's
the same thing as like, are you 

350
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,800
going to feel like you have to 
buy a craft so you can do your 

351
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,240
gear upgrade, right? 
I don't think Sean can like 

352
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,360
debate for his friends, right? 
Yeah. 

353
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,160
But like I would, I would 
caution anybody who is making a 

354
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,280
claim like that, that you are 
trying to invent a character 

355
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:22,440
that exactly is the is the 
perfect victim of the of such a 

356
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,760
system, right? 
Somebody who is looking to 

357
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,680
purchase a mount, but upgrading 
their gear who somehow was able 

358
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,800
to pay the hundreds and 
thousands of gold that we paid 

359
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:41,280
in the War Within to get gems, 
enchantments and so forth, like 

360
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,320
commissions on crafting gear, 
right, but it's somehow now 

361
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,800
balking at these numbers in the 
inflated goal that we're going 

362
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:55,520
to get in midnight is such a 
strange case to make to me that 

363
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,760
I like I want to call an 
illogical extreme. 

364
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,400
I I like it's creating the straw
man almost. 

365
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:05,400
But again, like this is like, 
yes, this is a little bit more 

366
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,760
strained one way, right? 
And it can negatively impact 

367
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,400
some players that are like, I 
really just wanted to raid log. 

368
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,120
But those people who were just 
raid logging, were they getting 

369
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:22,080
enough valor to go straight 
through to the top? 

370
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,080
Or did they then need to log in 
and get more valor, which is 

371
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,480
now, hey, just go get gold and 
congratulations, you get gold in

372
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,280
a myriad of different ways. 
I don't see this as a 

373
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,280
punishment. 
I just think this opens up 

374
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,960
different ways for people to do 
it. 

375
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,520
If they want to not leave town 
and instead sell stuff on the 

376
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,520
auction house that's now valid 
for of them. 

377
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,080
They don't have to go do the 
world quest. 

378
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,160
They don't need to be like, 
well, I got to go look through 

379
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,200
the world map and see what's 
available to get me this thing, 

380
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,720
right? 
Indestructible gear is now 

381
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,560
suddenly like that much more 
powerful for them because now 

382
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,080
they save on the repair cost and
they go through this, right? 

383
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,960
I can ask, I can like easily 
transfer gold from 1 alt to the 

384
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,800
to the other. 
Now people don't need to 

385
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,560
complain that valor points are 
character locked for so long, 

386
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,400
right? 
Like there's so many ways that 

387
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,960
this is an improvement. 
I think people are so quick to 

388
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,520
find this special case where 
it's going to hurt somebody and 

389
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,440
it's like on the average, on the
vast majority of the cases, I 

390
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,040
think this is a win. 
Yeah, me, me too. 

391
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,520
Yeah, I said, I dramatically 
said something about like, I 

392
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,440
wish we didn't. 
I would rather have Valor. 

393
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
That's not true. 
It is, as Manny pointed out, it 

394
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,960
actually is significantly easier
to grind gold than Valor and. 

395
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:43,800
And you can just buy a token 
like you know. 

396
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,520
What I mean, that's, that's what
we don't want to know what he 

397
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,200
wants. 
Nobody wants to hear that, but 

398
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,320
like tripper boost is going to 
hit and it's going to be a 

399
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,520
while. 
I got to upgrade all this shit. 

400
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,680
There. 
Are times. 

401
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Token like almost like at least 
a few months ago and I've been 

402
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,720
riding that high. 
I still log in sometimes. 

403
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,440
I'm like I have over 300. 
Go. 

404
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,040
We just finished a pretty big 
series of sales, so I'm over 

405
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,320
2,000,000 for the first time 
ever. 

406
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,920
There you go, there you go. 
I I wanted to just take this 

407
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,400
moment to give a shout out to 
all the Ray leaders that ate way

408
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,240
too many of those beans that 
like taste different ways and 

409
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,760
may have had like the needed to 
get their stomach pumped. 

410
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,560
We we, we give a cheer out to 
you, Brock and everyone who did 

411
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,600
that. 
Oh, the bean boozle. 

412
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,480
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

413
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:37,600
But moving on from that, we've 
got another piece of power 

414
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,160
that's coming into the World of 
Warcraft. 

415
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,240
And this one I'm a little bit 
more upset about because it has 

416
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,880
been data mined that there is a 
quest where you and five people 

417
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,760
need to complete this quest in 
order to get augment runes or 

418
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,120
crests or a myriad of different 
things that you might want to 

419
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:04,080
improve your power and get 
through World of Warcraft. 

420
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,000
I know that doesn't sound like 
anything that I should be upset 

421
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,440
about, but the reason that I 
dislike this is because it is a 

422
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,040
quest that requires you to go to
one of the players houses and 

423
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,200
just be there while the house 
owner is there. 

424
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,240
Player housing shouldn't be 
connected to power in my eyes, 

425
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,760
not even in the slightest. 
This is very low hanging fruit 

426
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,840
and it's so easy to do. 
It doesn't seem to say what the 

427
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,160
duration is. 
It's probably something that 

428
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,600
once all of you have zoned in 
and the game checks, which is 

429
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,000
like I think every every second 
or so, it'll be like 

430
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:45,880
congratulations, go turn this 
in. 

431
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,920
It's incredibly easy to 
complete. 

432
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,040
It is such a quick and easy way 
to get those augment runes 

433
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,120
because we have had over the 
last couple of expansions, those

434
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:01,600
runes becoming a little bit 
harder to come by if you're not 

435
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,440
a tank or healer that can like 
get them from the LFG system. 

436
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,280
And so, hey, like I'll take 
advantage of this, but I don't 

437
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,240
want it to exist. 
To be fair, Throwing this to you

438
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,040
first, Lex, what what do you 
think about this this quest I. 

439
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,560
Think there's no world where 
they leave this weekly. 

440
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,000
I think that is insane. 
I think this is going to be a 

441
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,880
one time quest. 
I could be wrong, I'm wrong 

442
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,880
about a lot of things, but I do 
agree. 

443
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Reading this Wowhead article I 
they're talking about how like 

444
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,840
it's not that big of a bump 
because it doesn't give you 

445
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600
mythic Don crafts. 
I cannot. 

446
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,120
Again, maybe it's just that I 
don't tank. 

447
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,600
I can't imagine anyone knocking.
That's huge, right? 

448
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,880
Like those are so hard. 
At least I I had a really hard 

449
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,560
time getting them. 
I don't know, maybe I'm bad at 

450
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,200
this. 
Well, I'm OK. 

451
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,640
You know what I did, you did 
forget to list all the different

452
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,600
things that you could get. 
So would you be able to list 

453
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,760
those for us, Lex? 
Just so we we bring everybody up

454
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,320
to speed. 
Yes, so you're you can choose 

455
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:07,320
either 20 hero Don crafts 40 
champion Don crafts 60 veteran 

456
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:12,000
Don crafts 500 void like moral. 
I'm not sure what that is. 

457
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,560
I'm not sure if everyone else is
or three void touched augment 

458
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,560
rooms. 
And then you also get the base. 

459
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,840
So you pick one of those and you
get in the essence of lumber 500

460
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,480
more void light moral for 25 
community coupons, which for 

461
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,440
those of you who haven't been 
playing the in housing yet, 

462
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,880
that's how you buy cute little 
things at the end of the 

463
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:40,920
endeavors and like 34 gold. 
I again am famously not very 

464
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,840
good at this game. 3 augment 
runes a week would be a huge 

465
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,480
power upgrade for me. 
I wasn't getting those until I 

466
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,280
was hitting the end of the rain 
track. 

467
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,120
So unless they were going to be 
giving you void light augment 

468
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:59,680
rune or void touch augment runes
much more generously in in 

469
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,760
midnight overall that in and of 
itself is a huge upgrade. 

470
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,040
And I just I I don't think this 
will be weekly. 

471
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,920
I I really see this as a one 
time thing that is going to be 

472
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,560
fun. 
Like you know when you log in 

473
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,920
you get your first 3 rooms and 
you all go hang out at someone's

474
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:25,200
house and then you're. 
Done OK I if it was a one time 

475
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:32,560
thing I feel like every guide 
writer is going to say grab the 

476
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,880
runes you'll get everything 
else. 

477
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,920
You'll get everything else 
quicker. 

478
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Especially unless those press 
don't crown towards your weekly 

479
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,880
cap or something. 
It like the which would be 

480
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,920
utterly broken. 
But do you find it more 

481
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,360
acceptable as a one time thing 
with those with those rewards? 

482
00:27:51,360 --> 00:28:00,600
Yeah, I'm not as concerned about
it being like, like I think a 

483
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,520
little bit of player power from 
housing like one time, this 

484
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,920
isn't getting right. 
Like you can get all of these 

485
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,080
things pretty easily, including 
the augment ruins that are 

486
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,280
losing my mind about. 
I agree. 

487
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,640
I think that they would be the 
number one choice regardless, 

488
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,160
but especially if it's a one 
time thing. 

489
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:18,480
But it's not that hard to get. 
It's hard if you're whiny like 

490
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,600
me, but it's not that terrible 
to get Augment Ruins if you 

491
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,880
really want to. 
So I don't think it's a huge 

492
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,040
crazy boost. 
The one thing that I'm a little 

493
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,600
bit icky on is that it does kind
of reward having friends, right?

494
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,160
I'm sure, especially this 
weekly, that they'll be like 

495
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:41,720
group finders that you can join.
But I think power that goes to 

496
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,480
having just people you can log 
in and hang out with, I would 

497
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:53,280
argue is potentially a little 
bit worse than like player power

498
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,480
coming from housing because you 
built a really cool house. 

499
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,280
But again, I don't think it's 
going to be that big of a deal. 

500
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,480
I think it's going to be really 
easy to find a group if this is 

501
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,080
the thing you need to find 
groups for, right? 

502
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Like it'll be in discords and 
they'll be group Finder things. 

503
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,920
Oh, yeah, I'll set it. 
I'll do it myself. 

504
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,160
I will like literally sit there 
with four friends and be like, 

505
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,640
we'll rotate you through 
everybody, get you, get your 

506
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,200
prize because I, I would hate 
for this to be gate kept. 

507
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,040
But Sean, what are your thoughts
on this? 

508
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,880
I well, first of all, I don't 
think there's any shot this is 

509
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,400
weekly. 
I'm pretty sure this is much 

510
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,320
like the cracked keystone that 
you got at the end of delves was

511
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,520
a one time thing to push you 
into. 

512
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,960
Hey, you like delves? 
Try mythic plus. 

513
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,480
I think this is a hey, why don't
you check out housing in case 

514
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,040
you haven't, you know this, 
that's what this is. 

515
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,880
This is a my suspicion is this 
is a one time quest. 

516
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,960
I also think the augment runes 
are going to be soul bound, much

517
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,960
like the augment runes that we 
got from the quest for killing 

518
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,760
the soul hunters were at which 
completely devalues them. 

519
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,280
And the real big brain play is 
to take the purple enchanting 

520
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,680
material on all of your alts and
sell that on the auction house. 

521
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,320
Take the augment runes on your 
main if they're soul bound, and 

522
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,320
then take the enchanting mats on
every alts that you have and 

523
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,280
sell those on the auction hose. 
That's the play. 

524
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,320
I don't, I mean, I understand 
they said we're not going to tie

525
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,520
power to player power to 
housing. 

526
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,800
If if this is a one time quest, 
which is what I suspect it is 

527
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,080
for, crests aren't moving the 
needle, 3 augment rooms aren't 

528
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,880
moving the needle. 
This is fine. 

529
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520
If it's just as a goal post to 
say, hey, we have this new 

530
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,840
feature called player housing. 
Maybe you haven't tried it out 

531
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,520
yet. 
Go check it out. 

532
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,240
I think that's fine. 
You want to direct people there.

533
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,400
This is our this is the the box 
feature of midnight player 

534
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,560
housing. 
It's targeted at bringing 

535
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,040
players back to the game, 
bringing in new players. 

536
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
It just makes sense that you 
would have something pointing at

537
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,360
it. 
Yeah, I don't think there's any 

538
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,280
shot it's weekly. 
But I got to be honest, even if 

539
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,120
it is weekly, I still don't 
really care. 

540
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,480
I understand everybody's 
concerns, but if it's weekly, 

541
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,680
it's just free gold. 
If it just if it's weekly, just 

542
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,320
go get your camping mats and 
sell them on the auction house 

543
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,480
and pay for your upgrades that 
you were upset about earlier. 

544
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,960
Yeah, I I think it's probably a 
one time quest that says, hey, 

545
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,280
check this out, you know, check 
out player housing is what I 

546
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,200
think. 
I also think we don't need to 

547
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,600
raise our pitchforks until we 
know data mined stuff doesn't 

548
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,080
always make it to live. 
Yeah, but I do hear. 

549
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,960
If it is a weekly, that would 
also make it even more punishing

550
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,120
to not have friends, right, 
Because it'll be so like if if 

551
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,960
it's like, for example, if it's 
weekly, what we're but I'm sure 

552
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,680
my red Guild is going to do is 
every single Thursday when we 

553
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440
all log in, the first thing we 
all do is go to someone's house 

554
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,000
for two seconds and then go jump
in the right and everyone gets 

555
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,720
their augment rooms and we use 
that for the night and we move 

556
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,000
on. 
Or whatever you want to get from

557
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,040
your class that I'm sure will be
harder if like if it is a 

558
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,400
weekly, I my guess is it, it's 
going to get a little bit more 

559
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,120
challenging to find things like 
group Finder or Discord groups, 

560
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,120
especially if you aren't really 
in a lot of communities, you 

561
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,800
don't really know how to lock 
into that. 

562
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,680
And so you're going to just 
every week get a little 

563
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,680
disadvantaged. 
I'm with Sean, though. 

564
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,880
Like I said from the beginning, 
I really don't think they're 

565
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,160
keeping. 
This quickly hi, I'm I'm 

566
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,640
wondering if raid teams are 
going to be like Timbermont 

567
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,040
Tavern. 
They're going to create the 

568
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,840
group and then just invite the 
Raiders 1 by 1 into the house 

569
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,360
and that's when they inspect 
them and be like, oh, go to the 

570
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,280
doctor house, go get your gear 
set up. 

571
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,600
But you know, for the nicer 
teams like I'm sure they'll do 

572
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,280
they'll just do it as like a fun
little thing. 

573
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,840
But yeah, that'll be I don't 
like it. 

574
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,600
I don't like when they like if 
you set something, you should 

575
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,600
stay the hell away from it. 
And there should be no player 

576
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,600
power attached to attached to 
this. 

577
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,080
Really. 
I don't mind if it's like gold 

578
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:04,400
and here is like some cool 
little decor like they'd be 

579
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,000
doing Twitch drops like they've 
been doing all these 

580
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
advertisements. 
That's how you get people Be 

581
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,240
like, oh cool, what? 
How do I set this up? 

582
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,680
Cool, let me go do the tutorial 
and throw my little plushy 

583
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,520
plushy down. 
That to me is how you guide 

584
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,800
people to do this. 
If you suddenly be like, hey, 

585
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:28,280
hey, hey, hey, want to get some 
like epic gear or and attach 

586
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,520
that to like doing the tutorial 
for housing. 

587
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,200
I don't like it. 
I like it all. 

588
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:39,480
Anyways, I'd love to hear what 
the FAST community thinks about 

589
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,920
this. 
So Fazzers, join in at bit dot 

590
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,680
LY slash FAST discord and let us
know. 

591
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,600
Still can't believe FAZZ Hands 
didn't win. 

592
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,720
I'm happy fazzers, I'm happy, 
I'm happy for us. 

593
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,920
But next year we're doing 
another vote and I'm just saying

594
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,640
I've been pumping the discord 
full of FAZZ Hand fans. 

595
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,640
I will make 100. 
The voting will continue until 

596
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,240
Sean wins. 
That's. 

597
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,000
Right. 
All right. 

598
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,639
With that said, I think this is 
a great opportunity to thank all

599
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:19,040
of our patrons. 
Sean, would you be willing to 

600
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,920
give that little? 
Yeah, I don't have the thing 

601
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,679
open. 
I'm going to do this. 

602
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,280
Natty, from memory. 
Are you ready? 

603
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:30,560
Here we go, Patrons. 
We want to give a big thank you 

604
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,400

607
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:44,800

610
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,880
It's very short today because my
partner has just come home since

611
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,520
I haven't seen her since 
Christmas, but I still am 

612
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,000
dedicated to FAZ and I'm here to
record because of you, 

613
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,880
specifically you if you're 
listening. 

614
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,040
FAZ patron #17. 
You in particular are the reason

615
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,720
that I have chosen to be here 
tonight instead of upstairs with

616
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:16,160
my wife. 
Thank you for your patronage, 

617
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:24,880
FAZ patron #17. 
We really do appreciate you 

618
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,640
being here and spending time 
away from Anjali. 

619
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,320
So we're that. 
Let's talk about our last news 

620
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,400
story. 
I'm going to pass this to you, 

621
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,800
Sean, so you can get through it 
quickly. 

622
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,680
I don't. 
Even have it in front of me. 

623
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,320
I don't remember what the third 
story was. 

624
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,720
Our third story. 
Is I don't know, it's the. 

625
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,320
Customization, Customization. 
It's the customization, yeah. 

626
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,000
So it was a big interview. 
And Blizzard said, hey, we hear 

627
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,600
you. 
We're going to focus on doing 

628
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,800
customization for new classes. 
And I got to tell you, I just 

629
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,200
wanted to talk about this 
because I just wanted the chance

630
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:03,880
for FAZ dev to hear me say 
pleadingly, make up undead one 

631
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,760
of the customization options, 
please. 

632
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,280
I care about nothing else. 
Yeah, everybody has the 

633
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,480
customizations that they have on
their wish list. 

634
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,680
There are a lot of things that 
seem like low lying fruit. 

635
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,240
There are customizations that 
are on the night Elves or Blood 

636
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:26,680
Elves that aren't on the Night 
Born or on the Void Elves and 

637
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,440
vice versa. 
There are things that can be 

638
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,200
done for macro orcs versus orcs 
and so forth just across 

639
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,800
pollinate. 
Those are the low lying fruit. 

640
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,120
But further from that, I think 
that there is a great thing to 

641
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,400
do to add additional 
customization. 

642
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,760
I would love if my like wizard 
or priest did not look like they

643
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,000
benched like my body weight 
every week I give. 

644
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,640
Me, those thin colturans I want,
you know, like the the scary 

645
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,560
skinny colturans with a book, 
Ichabod Crane. 

646
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,240
I want those. 
I think I think so too. 

647
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:02,840
Like, I think there's a lot of 
things I would love if they had 

648
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,480
like a just like the ability to 
select various animations so 

649
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,680
that your character didn't move,
like every character of your 

650
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,560
race, slash, slash, like body 
type. 

651
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,360
I think that there's different 
body types that they can throw 

652
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,240
out there and all sorts of 
things that they can do that are

653
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,880
obviously far more labor 
intensive. 

654
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,080
And therefore, I don't expect 
that this is something that they

655
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,360
should do all at once, But I 
would like them to switch away 

656
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,680
from what they did in Warlords 
where they did a big update to 

657
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:39,720
all the player models in. 
And instead do what they've been

658
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:44,280
doing more recently, which is 
adding new hair colors in this 

659
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,640
batch. 
Because hey, we want to throw in

660
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,640
hair colors, adding in a new 
animation here because we're 

661
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,080
doing this animation with like 
this enemy. 

662
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,480
And I think that'd be cool for 
players to have that animation. 

663
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,600
So we got lean, so we got stuff 
like that. 

664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,680
And if they can, I think forward
where it's like, hey, we're not 

665
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,960
going to just do this for like 
this one time thing, but we're 

666
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,680
also going to throw this in with
players. 

667
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,320
I think they can like give us a 
more steady stream of these 

668
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,720
things without having to like 
devote a ton of resources to it.

669
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:17,760
Because I know immediately 
there's going to be a question 

670
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,960
of like, is this going to cost 
us a raid tear? 

671
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,840
And I really don't want that. 
We're getting so many raids and 

672
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,800
and such in midnight. 
And I love that switch. 

673
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,720
I'm not asking you to stop that.
I just if you're going to do 

674
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:33,360
this and I want you to do this, 
just mix it into the in the 

675
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,560
natural flow live team. 
Come at come at it right. 

676
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:44,960
I don't I don't think we need we
need to like radically change 

677
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,960
things from what what they are 
right now. 

678
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:54,680
But like you guys are putting 
out amazing mounts and amazing 

679
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:01,000
cinematics and like some of the 
music in in these raids and in 

680
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,560
these areas has been really 
amazing. 

681
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,240
And so I think like you could 
similarly do the same thing with

682
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,760
player expression because like 
that's how we interact with this

683
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,360
world is through our characters.
Yeah, I do think there's 

684
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,640
actually a little bit of an 
argument for doing a really deep

685
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,760
push for character upgrades. 
In my head, I'm almost thinking 

686
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,320
of this is like the same way 
that they've dedicated to an 

687
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,080
absurd team, to housing spending
a tier where they're like is an 

688
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,840
art team that is just laser 
focused on character 

689
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,320
customization. 
Partially because it does feel, 

690
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,720
and I say this is a blood off 
player. 

691
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:42,120
So I'm, I believe in one of the 
lucky classes. 

692
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,880
It's not like the number of 
customizations per class or per 

693
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,440
race are identical. 
And so it does kind of feel like

694
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,520
I worry that if it's just we're 
rolling things out as we think 

695
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,960
of them, that the less thought 
of class of races, I really 

696
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,000
cannot put my brain on straight 
today, the less thought of races

697
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,360
are. 
Just going to keep kind of 

698
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,080
getting ignored and it's going 
to keep being like, oh, sick, 

699
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,760
you know, be a really cool human
customization. 

700
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,360
Oh man, you know what? 
I'm really good on a night owl. 

701
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,360
Like there's a risk that if you 
are not very careful and 

702
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,280
thoughtful about how you are 
building customizations to make 

703
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:26,040
it comfortable and equal to all 
of the races, that it becomes 

704
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,520
like you just kind of 
accidentally keep piling the 

705
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,560
popular one that most of your 
devs are probably playing just 

706
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,120
by virtue of the fact they're 
most popular. 

707
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,400
So you're getting those feedback
on just by virtue of the fact 

708
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,200
that they're most popular? 
Yeah, that's how old. 

709
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:40,840
Sorry. 
Go ahead. 

710
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,680
Oh yeah, it's also not like 
that. 

711
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,560
Think of a deal. 
And they are talking about other

712
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,920
things they could do, like using
glyphs and things like that. 

713
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,640
So they could also hit this kind
of creatively. 

714
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,240
So they, for example, give 
different walk styles that you 

715
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:56,840
can kind of do whatever your 
race is. 

716
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,880
So it's less like, I'm just 
going to like, we have to go fix

717
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,840
the goblins, we have to go do 
the gnome. 

718
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:05,840
And it's also not like housing 
in a sense of like you don't 

719
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,400
need a huge team to work on it 
because it's more cute little 

720
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080
upgrades than not. 
We are going to build a whole 

721
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,120
new system from scratch and make
sure it works and give you a 

722
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,640
bunch of stuff so that it's fun 
for the. 

723
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:21,400
UK yeah. 
I mean like I I pointed to the 

724
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,080
allied races because in my mind 
Volpeer don't move like Volpeer 

725
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,280
they are just goblins with fur 
and that annoys the crap out of 

726
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,360
me. 
But like, to your point and I, I

727
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,920
think this might be a quote from
Sean. 

728
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,920
I think, Sean, this is where 
where I got it from. 

729
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,760
So, so correct me if I'm wrong, 
but like, humans don't need a 

730
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,200
million different eyebrows 
because like. 

731
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,040
That's not a quote from me. 
I love my eyebrows. 

732
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,760
OK OK. 
Not my real ones. 

733
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,440
I barely have any in real life, 
which is why I want so many in 

734
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,400
the game. 
I only use one pair. 

735
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,080
There's only one set I use, 
that's the ones that look like 

736
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,000
they're drawn on really thick. 
So I actually, I guess we only 

737
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,080
need one set of eyebrows. 
You're right, Manny, it wasn't 

738
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,240
me who said that, but I agree 
with it. 

739
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,000
OK, one set of eyebrows and 
beardless dwarfs. 

740
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,880
And beardless dwarfs. 
And, you know, beards for 

741
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,720
trolls, Beards for trolls. 
Yeah, give the dwarf beards to 

742
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,680
the trolls I'm down for. 
That not a dwarf. 

743
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Beards are garbage. 
Give trolls their own beard. 

744
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,720
Beards we don't. 
We don't beard judge here. 

745
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:23,360
They're not garbage, they're 
just not for you. 

746
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,720
I'm sorry, they're not for me 
and some of them may actually 

747
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,800
have cans of garbage in them the
way that they like put them 

748
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,480
together. 
So I don't think I'm being here 

749
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,920
regardless. 
Yeah, I would love to see a lot 

750
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,920
more for different for different
players. 

751
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:52,320
One thing that I would want to 
prioritize is hairstyles and 

752
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:56,720
different skin tones. 
We had that entire push where 

753
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,960
they're like, hey, we're going 
to put in like different skin 

754
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,320
tones for, for characters. 
And we got some black 

755
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,440
representation and Black History
Month. 

756
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,400
So I will, I will flat out say 
that. 

757
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,680
But like there are other people 
of color other than like black, 

758
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,320
black and white. 
And I'd love to see some some of

759
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,600
that representation put in to 
like the races where it makes 

760
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,920
sense, such as elves and humans 
and dwarves and gnomes, because 

761
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,720
they're basically all humanoids 
of the of similar. 

762
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:33,640
So I'd love to see it, would 
love to see those prioritized. 

763
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:37,760
And yeah, like, get on it, 
please. 

764
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,480
I would love that. 
Is there any particular 

765
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,400
customization that you would 
like to see just like off the 

766
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,400
top of your head? 
I'm going to first hand it to 

767
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,080
Sean, actually. 
Sorry I put you guys on the 

768
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,240
spot. 
I'll give mine and then I'll 

769
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,680
I'll. 
I already gave it. 

770
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:58,680
I can go. 
I can go first. 

771
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,840
OK. 
Yeah. 

772
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,480
Upright undead. 
All right, All right, Right. 

773
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,200
It's the. 
So if you go to Zoltazar, the 

774
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,760
only redeeming qualityable 
Zoltazar is that the forsaken 

775
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,840
guards at stand inside of King 
Rasta Khan's temple are all 

776
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,960
standing upright. 
And they look imposing. 

777
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,000
They look confident. 
They're majestic. 

778
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,400
They are majestic AF, as the 
kids would say they are. 

779
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,640
Looks maxing. 
I learned that term this week 

780
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,840
and I want that in the game. 
I would swap a lot of my 

781
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,360
characters over to undead if I 
could just stand up straight. 

782
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,880
Let me fix that posture. 
No, I don't want to be 

783
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,440
shrimping. 
That's my pick. 

784
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,160
I want that. 
Fazdev, please, I will do 

785
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,960
anything. 
I will even stop saying 

786
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,880
incendiary things that make 
Manny frustrated if you just 

787
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,000
give me upright undead for legal
reasons, I can't guarantee that 

788
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,000
will. 
Happen yeah that that's a that's

789
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,040
a lie. 
Don't promise things that you 

790
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,320
can't deliver. 
What are you a Blizzard dev? 

791
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:58,160
So I want to say that in chat, 
Goblin graphics has said undead 

792
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:03,080
need elf ear options like having
like different races that can be

793
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,680
undead since we've gone past 
that, especially with the 

794
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,400
trailer that came out today. 
Did I miss lore? 

795
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Have I said this every single 
time? 

796
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,560
Did can Blvd. now change non 
humans? 

797
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,040
Well, considering Death Knights 
are all races, yes. 

798
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,200
Well don't, but as an old undead
role player this is actually a 

799
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,720
little bit sticky because the 
Arthus could raise non humans as

800
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:29,560
undead but Sylvanus couldn't. 
She was only able to raise 

801
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,080
humans and so that's one of the 
arguments for why undead are all

802
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,080
humans is. 
I think even with Arthus he was 

803
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:40,040
overwhelmingly raising humans. 
Well, the problem is that like 

804
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,480
when Arthur's came on upon 
Silver Moon and it's and see 

805
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:52,800
Silver Moon and they just did 
the entire short animation. 

806
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:58,800
They have now confirmed right 
that the elves did get turned 

807
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,080
into into undead, especially 
since Sylvanas also got turned 

808
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,680
into undead so long ago. 
So like it's it's just it's such

809
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,920
a pigeonhole sort of thing of 
like a kind of just weird 

810
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,680
justification where you should 
have. 

811
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:16,920
And we've had dark dark Rangers,
right, that Sylvanas made in 

812
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,240
BFA. 
So I don't know what is being 

813
00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:23,760
like picked out. 
Like it was probably a thing 

814
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,840
that those said at the time and 
then later on they just threw it

815
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,200
out the window. 
There's been multiple times 

816
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:36,200
where we have seen other races, 
well particularly elves, become 

817
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,760
undead. 
Right, that's fair. 

818
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,440
OK, I took it back up. 
We should get elf ears. 

819
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,800
We're undead. 
Yeah I would I would love a a 

820
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:52,000
undead organ, just bone wolf. 
But they have way more lore to 

821
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,640
say that they can't be. 
Undead. 

822
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,680
No, no, no, that what I'm just 
like there's like like that's 

823
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,320
what it's like. 
Oh, even though I would want to 

824
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,760
at least I know that there's a 
solid Lord that says that that's

825
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,440
a no go. 
Like the curse protect protects 

826
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,840
them from the from one death 
anyways. 

827
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,440
So yeah, I think that that that 
would be a very cool thing to 

828
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,520
see Goblin. 
But Lex, what about you? 

829
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,240
So. 
This isn't what you wanted me to

830
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:19,880
say at all because I'm not 
answering the question 

831
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,920
correctly, but I would like 
customization or just options 

832
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,760
that make my pets interact 
practice anymore. 

833
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,800
That is one thing in Final 
Fantasy Online that like the joy

834
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,400
that it brings me when I'm 
running around and I realize 

835
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,680
I've had something on my 
shoulder. 

836
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,000
I'm like that baby or like you 
would a pet one and actually 

837
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,560
moves like yes, 100% that. 
There's that one that they did 

838
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,920
on the like sale thingy that 
does climb on your shoulder. 

839
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,960
I just think hunters would love 
that if like whenever you did an

840
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,480
emotion, your pet reacted to 
that same emotion. 

841
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,400
So you're doing like slash chair
and like your fox just runs 

842
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,200
around you and does like it's a 
little an emotion and stuff. 

843
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,880
Hunters would love that. 
I don't even care if that's 

844
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,280
considered not answering the 
question. 

845
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,440
I think that's great for 
character customization. 

846
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,960
I think that's a big win there, 
Lex. 

847
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,360
I meant little pets but actually
I like that one even more. 

848
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,240
I think that you're like hunter.
Pets should 100% also be 

849
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,320
interacting with you. 
Or Warlock, you know, Warlock 

850
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,560
doesn't roar and your demon 
behind uses like it's just like 

851
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,800
look back at your MP, like come 
on, Steve, what's that? 

852
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,800
There's a lot of things that 
would just bring it in so that 

853
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:32,680
yeah, that would be cool. 
And then for me, just to give us

854
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:41,920
our last one, I would say that 
that I would love for animations

855
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:49,760
to sort of linger in your idol. 
They did this in Legion where 

856
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,920
depending on what weapon you 
had, you had different idol 

857
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,240
animation. 
So like you had like the water 

858
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:59,240
that was around you, if you were
a resto shaman or little nature 

859
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:01,280
that would come up if you were a
druid and so forth. 

860
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,440
Animations like that just to 
like lend to your, your 

861
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,120
character would be great as 
well. 

862
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:16,320
But even just changing voice 
lines so that again, I just, I 

863
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:22,840
don't like that if you are a mag
car or male body type or body 

864
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,800
type 2 or 1, like you just have 
the exact same voice and exact 

865
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,320
same lines, different lines that
you could select and be like, 

866
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,240
this is my voice in in there. 
And like, this one's a little 

867
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:34,560
more grouchy or this one's a 
little more playful, and that 

868
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,960
sort of stuff would be fantastic
anyways. 

869
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,480
Go back to old Blizzard world 
where you just get the interns 

870
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,400
in and have them do a bunch of 
voice lines you like. 

871
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:48,720
Pick from these. 
Would be would be definitely 

872
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:53,200
against a lot of union stuff, 
but we'll leave that for a 

873
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,520
different episode. 
With that said, we are going to 

874
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,800
call this a short episode 
because people have loved ones 

875
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,480
to see or you know, chili to 
make if you're me. 

876
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:07,120
Either way, we're all going to 
feel warm inside. 

877
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,080
And so until next time guys, may
all your hits be crits.
