Miss you. Can't wait to play with you soon. Uh, we actually, no [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] have a lot to dive into today. Uh, something else I wanted to bring up really quickly of people don't even seem to know we're doing this right now. Uh, we have our
second channel up and running, guys, and we are doing very consistent videos over there for extra content as well as news content videos. So, if you guys liked our old Season of Discovery news video breakdowns where we pretty much blew up
in the World of Warcraft space, check out this channel. I promise you guys, you're going to want to keep updated on this channel because we're rocking and rolling. Lance, coffee mug question. Not currently. We do not have one more than
11 oz currently. But if the demand is done. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, so get on the second channel. I promise you won't be content. We just broke 5,000 subscribers over there. Really, really awesome.
Proud of it. Definitely get on over there. You'll enjoy it. Um, I think now it's officially time, guys, to move into the weekly cool down. Uh, I say we jump right into the news. &gt;&gt; I mean, I think it's time. Let's lock in
&gt;&gt; All right, it's time for the weekly cooldown. Your full recap of everything that went down in World of Warcraft this week. From blue posts and patch notes to class changes, leaks, and more. We're breaking it all down for you right now.
Whether you missed a day or the whole week, click that hard stone and get week, click that hard stone and get ready cuz this is your reset. we got news. &gt;&gt; It's freaking time. I'm going to be
going to dive into it. Let's not waste any of the time cuz it's dime. Um anyways, going right off into it, guys. We already know Blizzard and World of We already know Blizzard and World of Warcraft aka [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] housing 24/7. Now,
listen. And I love housing. I really do. And it's awesome. It's an incredible feature. But it seems like every other day we got some nuclear update regarding day we got some nuclear update regarding housing. And it doesn't ever end. So the
question is, what the hell is going on? How do we stop the housing takeover from Cuz now I'm getting it. By the way, mate, what's going on, baby? Welcome. One little request. Maybe
some cuter designs. I like the retro for sure. Ooh, cuter designs. Interesting. Interesting. But we do have the retro car on there for a shirt. That's true. By the way, Kerina, I don't know
the sizing. We could figure it out. I mean, um, anyways, moving into it. Uh, discover dream homes and get free decor with Zillow for World of Warcraft. So, apparently there's a Zillow and World of Warcraft sort of themed collaboration. I
special order it. I'll cut it for you personally. Yes, I will do that favor for you. Uh, let's go ahead and open Actually, I mean, &gt;&gt; this is not a real thing, right?
&gt;&gt; I don't know. I guess we're about to find out. I haven't read this article. a new partnership with Zillow featuring fun and fanciful plot listings to promote player housing at Midnight along with a free piece of decor for everyone.
&gt;&gt; Uh, part of Zillow's new sometime starts today campaign. There's no actual buying marketing and chance to show off what player housing is capable of. [laughter] Do the though the winner of the Azeroth interiors competition will receive a
custom listing. The exact extent of features is unclear though. The site is does not appear that players can actually create their own custom listings either. Oh, that sucks. I feel like that Okay, I will say
low key. I feel like this could have been kind of cool. I I know. I know. even though I was just [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] on housing. But low-key, I I actually do think it's kind of cool. Like you do a community vote,
star system. They give a little background information on what is, you know, the whole thing. Actually, no joke, that kind of been kind of could have been cool. I'm not even going to lie. Now, I also like the UI and the
visuals here. It actually looks quite clean. Um, is this needed in World of Warcraft? I mean, absolutely not. But there is something cool about it. Lance, what are your thoughts?
what are your thoughts? This is I mean, you know, in a in a vacuum, this is very cool. &gt;&gt; Thank you, Apollo. And I actually really the the little ads they've done for housing, okay? And I'm a big housing
fan. But I understand the the the wider community sentiment like you've been saying how it's maybe they're overdoing it a little bit. Yeah. For maybe for the wider community. I for one
I actually enjoy it and I understand why they're doing it. There's no other news &gt;&gt; Much love Apollo. Cheers. You know, like I don't know what else they're going to well. &gt;&gt; Holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] That's insane. They need to
they overdo it like this. Yeah. Listen, I'm going to be honest and I'm a humongous advocate for housing. I think it's nothing but a massive massive W for such an incredible feature. It's one of the best ever created, the things you
can do inside housing and your neighborhoods as well as the uh what are &gt;&gt; I I love it. It is such great content and it's awesome. But it's getting to the point where they're shoving it right up my ass every 2 seconds. And I think
like you can't I don't know to set something up for the long haul. Like you got to do something good and then just take it. to it. Okay. Little updates here or there and then you let the content do
the talking. You know what I mean? You don't have to make 15 housing ads and a don't have to make 15 housing ads and a Zillow and collaborations and sponsors and like take a breath. Everyone knows housing is cool. But people outside of
going to think right now like, "Yeah, it's just all World of Housingcraft right now." Which, by the way, they're kind of not wrong until the expansion housing. Um, they've been announcing a lot of stuff. Also, even a Starcraft 2
[clears throat] you know, there's a lot of speculation going on with Starcraft happening. Will there be an RPG? Whether it could be an FPS, whether it could be could be a third person shooter, first person shooter. Like, no one even knows.
Well, housing is clearly not the whole game cuz we know all the content we're getting at midnight, right? So, like, you know, that's not a a fair thing to say, but you know, listen, it's um it's cool. Like, this stuff is cool, but you
got to space some [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] like this out. Like, give it a month. Like, it hasn't even been a week and they're doing more a week. I haven't had a week where I new. &gt;&gt; G Money, thank you for the gifted tier
sub to shutter. By the way, if you got Oh, wait. Five gifties. Is that true? Oh, wait. Five gifties. Is that true? That's five gifted. Holy G Money, guys. it is, man. Throw up the uh comeback kid icons in the chat, dude. That is a very,
very big deal. Show some love to your community member. G Money, dude. Show members, gifted subbies, you know what time it is. Build the icons up. Come back, kids. Come back, kids. Shout out to you, G Money. Thank you so much.
By the way, G Money, you don't have to do that. Save your $25 and buy a shirt. the community. Screw them. Screw the community. you know, them doing all these updates is, you know, guys, just like delves,
&gt;&gt; It is. It is. &gt;&gt; So, while yeah, there's not a ton of stuff to do in it right now. Maybe I think they nailed the things they had to nail with housing to start it off. No, I listen
&gt;&gt; I I don't know how many times I need to say it. It's such an amazing, incredible feature. And honestly, like World of Warcraft's only better off with housing in the game. Um, but it's just it's it's a little too much when it's every 2
seconds they're they're shoving some some sort of advertisement or marketing down my ass. It's a little much. So, I I don't know. Um, I just like that they're actually marketing World of Warcraft again. Uh, programmers was a question.
again. Uh, programmers was a question. Do you ship to EU? Uh, EU is tough. Is There's a way to do it. Just it's expensive. Is Isn't there Is there a way to like find like a like a print company near him or something? Is Is that a
&gt;&gt; You have to just find one that &gt;&gt; us to ship across, you know, the world would be [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] expensive. And obviously we want to get you your stuff. Maybe I can give you the logos and you get a custom shirt or something.
and you get a custom shirt or something. I don't know. Um, anyways, continuing. Uh, either way, it's cool. Um, I think it would have even been cooler if it was a real feature. Now it's just like a paid ad and now I don't even get
mean? So, that's my beef with this whole thing. Uh, continuing on into more housing stuff, guys. Believe it or not, well, not exactly housing, but it's a distant cousin, the lumber system. Uh, we all know that you got to gather
lumber across any, you know, expansion that you may come across to create decoration items to then sell on the auction house. By the way, I think this system is phenomenal for crafters. I I really do. I think it's absolutely
amazing. Like it's a great great way to have crafters like especially people who have had you know their profession for multiple expansions develop and you know getting the old lumber, old materials,
turning that into a profit. So I think this [cough] with the release of new patch on live the lumber harvesting achievement that awards mounted
harvesting. Very interesting. Uh so brought with it not only an Avalanche harvesting achieve harvesting lumber in each expansion zones and obtain harvesting in those areas. Currently 12 achievements listed that award mounted
zones based on the respective lumber type. Um so 250 so it seems like you type. Um so 250 so it seems like you need 250 of a lumber to be able to get the achievement for that expansion. For that specific expansion. Yeah. Overall,
I mean, I don't mind this sort of thing. I think it's kind of cool. Um, overall guys think about the whole housing thing as well as like Blizzard doing a lot of our face every two seconds? Of course, this is constructive criticism, not this
sort of thing where we just rag on [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] with no criticism on how to improve it. personally think it's a little much, and I want to know your guys' opinion if uh maybe I'm overthinking it or or maybe it's warranted. Um, for those that
should be able to get your grants of respective progress toward those achievements. Okay. Yeah, cool. Uh, wait, does it does it uh count lumber like 80 the other day in the dragon aisle. So curious. Uh, I'm starting to
that. I can feel that. I think it it gives cracks more of an an avenue. Yeah, thing they've added to the game in years. I agree. I agree. First, the housing advertising isn't for you and you are overthinking it.
&gt;&gt; He's saying first, the housing advertising isn't for you. It's not made &gt;&gt; Okay. Unfortunately, I don't have an interest in housing. That's okay. Love the housing. Advertise the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] out of it. 20 years too late. [laughter] That's
&gt;&gt; Yeah, it's retroactive. Love housing. Love seeing them actually promoting WoW it goes as it matures. Okay. I, you know, Atlant, I think you are right. You &gt;&gt; Wow. &gt;&gt; They certainly have to. the amount of
people that might come back to World of Warcraft who aren't in the YouTube sphere. Yeah, they have to advertise this. I like that they're doing people showing up to sporting events, the AFC Championship game, hockey
events. This is cool. Yeah. And you know what? For me, the more Warcraft's out there, I think that shit's badass. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I mean, it's it's a W. Anyone who was young enough to be in high school or school when you
probably didn't talk about it much. Guess what? It's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] cool to be a World of Warcraft player now. So, welcome. Is it cool for me? That's &gt;&gt; As an adult, it is. [laughter] &gt;&gt; Uh, I do love it. Hadn't had anything in
into. Like, I don't like transmog pet stuff. I haven't done professionals something I could do. Okay, that's a W. That's a W. Cara. Oh, man. I literally came back to WoW 4 housing. Hasn't play haven't played since BFA. Now I'm
favorite build of all time. Yeah, I'm going to be honest, Jake. Zalot is going to be honest, Jake. Zalot is definitely up there at minimum top three for me. Could potentially be top two tied with Arthus personally. Um, Lance
a big bully. Terrible person. &gt;&gt; Yeah, I was huge bully. Big guy. Strong. Too soon. Oh boy. Uh, okay. Let's continue. Um, moving on to another discussion. Blizzard pledges more player
customization interview with Windows Central. Lance, what is this? You're my &gt;&gt; Yeah, I didn't see this one. &gt;&gt; That's two in a row. Lance, guys, hold &gt;&gt; That's two in a row. Lance, guys, hold on a second. Let me full screen here.

&gt;&gt; point. Thank you. Thank you, Kimberly. Shout out to you and the hubby. Uh, in a new interview, a Windows Central design director Maria Hamilton and principal to improve all manner of player customization from player housing to
housing article. I thought this was &gt;&gt; I get it, bro. You have you have something against player housing, bro. &gt;&gt; Well, now I do. Now I do. Okay, this is getting a little much. More racial
players won't be forced to build their own goblin workshop out of spare decor doesn't want players waiting years to make a goblin or gnome house and are be a painfully slow roll out like the heritage armor has been. Oh, w housing
mechanics may not always be constrained to specific instances and can function only the beginning. They've already thought about how it could be used to but the first priority is getting support and optimization.
Okay, hear that guys. Player customization, more racial they don't have a road map yet. They're looking at a larger project rather than
the odd drop here and there like heritage armor. And they have even discussed improving character animations at the same time, but it's not coming soon. Lance, could this potentially be them finally after how many years? 10,
15 years of the model updates, we could be getting more model updates coming in means model updates or just more customization because I'll tell you what, okay, you look at the heron and you look at the uh visage forms for for
Drair, &gt;&gt; they have they put everyone else to shame in the amount of customization they have, even the earn. So, it's like we got to bring some of these old races. Did you Did you know Did you know that
the Heraneir have more eyebrow customizations? I think they have triple the eyebrow customizations than Taran do facial &gt;&gt; Did you know that? &gt;&gt; I did not.
in World of Warcraft, we've played longer with the new model updates than &gt;&gt; Adrenaline? Yes, that I know. Do you think it's time for brand new model updates in World of Warcraft? &gt;&gt; I don't necessar necessarily think we
need model updates. Okay. But just more customization. Okay. Like what? I don't know. More options. Hair, face, eyebrows.
&gt;&gt; Just everything. I'm just like go look at hair and ear. Every race needs to be ton. &gt;&gt; Not tough. &gt;&gt; Not tough. Make it happen. Billion dollar corporation. Make it happen.
dollar corporation. Make it happen. Billion dollar company. Go ahead. folks. Make it happen. You make a billion dollars a year. Let's do it. More racial customizations incoming. I want more tattoos. Yo, all jokes aside
though, why why don't we have like like I've seen in these other MMO RPGs, guys, like for example, like where you can have a tattoo, but then you could also move it around on your body and scale it up. Like I was
but I was playing Chrono Odyssey recently, uh, maybe like 8 to 10 months recently, uh, maybe like 8 to 10 months ago, and you can scale up the tattoo as and place it. Now, obviously, I'm not saying they need to do that, but what
about some basic like tattoo options for like humans or even more for dwarves or even drain eye or a blood elf or like I feel like everybody should have a tattoo option or piercing option or extra scars or like like I feel like this is basic
character customizations for an MMO RPG and I don't understand like like there I don't know like I I feel like this should be obvious like to have like the herin customizations are [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] phenomenal. Is there anyone here
&gt;&gt; that have done the herin customizations and see how ridiculous it is? &gt;&gt; You can make a million different character models with the heraneer character customizer. &gt;&gt; Like it feels like you're so limited for
things like torin or nightightorn or [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] even human. Like it's not even like that crazy. &gt;&gt; Yes. Um so that's my thought process. Uh Haters going to hate, but make demon
hunters able to fly like Drathier. Yeah, honestly, why not? [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] it. Um, then Lance owns a tattoo shop. That's crazy. I mean, yeah, Gold, what's going on? Good looking. Welcome back. Welcome. Always good to
follow. Appreciate the love. I don't know. Just some ideas. Uh, let's get back into it. Uh, continuing. They understand waiting. They understand the need for better player customization and expression and have already started down
that road by remaking the transmog system. There have been many talents, attach audio and visual effects to change how something looks. An overlapping, but not built to work together.
transmog system is the kind of customization they would like to offer. Interesting. The hell could that mean? &gt;&gt; Cosmetic glyphs. Let's Okay, let me read this. Working
working working cosmetic glyphs into the new transmog system is the kind of customization they would like to offer. What the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] does that mean? Cosmetic glyphs into the [music] transmog system.
So, it's like a window that if you purchase the glyph, it's very like toggleable and easy to swap. like the druid form glyphs. druid form glyphs. &gt;&gt; That's um I guess but it means changing
spell effect colors I think. Yeah. So my Yeah, Osiris, I think you're right. So like I don't know if any of you guys have played City of Heroes, but like in City of Heroes, you can make custom color and spell effect visuals change
how you would want. So like for example, if you were a water blaster, you could also shoot ice also or red water or yellow water. What if something like lands? For example, maybe for a restoration shaman, instead of your
could be like a pure beam of yellow energy like in classic World of Warcraft, they would probably make sure that you can only do things that are very in line with the lore of your character. They're not going to let you
&gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; So, they're not going to let &gt;&gt; Shooting red lightning. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Nothing goofy. But, uh, you know, for something along that City of Heroes lines where you could have some
I think that could be actually really, really awesome heading into the future. Wow. What do you guys think? Do Do you guys think that's a good idea or not? here. For example, yeah, like the green fire for warlocks. Yeah, exactly. So, I
I feel like there's potential here. Like, why not? Like maybe for balance druid, all of your spells are now like sun and and solar based effects rather than a mixture of moon and solar or it's all lunar or um what's another example?
Maybe for subtlety rogue everything you do is just shadow [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] nonsense. Like it's crazy shadow effects. You know what I mean? That's cool. It could be kind of Yeah. I mean anytime you could add more customization would be cool. It it means
fiend as a priest to be a holy one for your holy transmog while being shadow form for your shadow. Yes, I I feel like stuff like that is [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] awesome. I feel like yes, but actually I think someone just said it right there.
cool, but would need to be implemented like Warlock Green Fire. go do that, they should make quest lines that you have to do and they're hard. &gt;&gt; I mean, a lot. Yeah, it it is cool, but it's a lot of dev time.
sorry. I'm just going to take &gt;&gt; I'm building a game in my head, right? &gt;&gt; Oh, [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] &gt;&gt; You know. Oh, my bad. I didn't mean to that, big dog. &gt;&gt; The Green Fire quest line was one of the
&gt;&gt; You ever done it? &gt;&gt; I've never done it. I don't like green &gt;&gt; I haven't warlock. &gt;&gt; I saw I remember. &gt;&gt; Can we pull him up on the &gt;&gt; I don't have a screenshot of him.
&gt;&gt; It's kind of weird that you thought I had a picture of your goblin on my PC. &gt;&gt; Well, that's how cool he is. &gt;&gt; [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] That got me. Okay. [laughter] The green fire is flawed. &gt;&gt; Don't talk about [clears throat] That's
quests if they want. Honestly, it's a win either way. Once again, I I love the like [clears throat] now we're getting in the territory of like, well, I want this, too. I want this, too. Why don't we add this? Why? I want more [&nbsp;__&nbsp;]
class quests. I want a Legion order hall campaign, but in mid Sounds fun. down. &gt;&gt; Is there anything else you want, Lance? Animal husbandry. Anything Anything else? Ashes of creation. [laughter]
Maybe a father who loves me. I don't know. I don't know. Legendary weapons. &gt;&gt; Hold on. That's &gt;&gt; a legendary legendary warlife. &gt;&gt; for the devour. &gt;&gt; Yeah,
&gt;&gt; I don't think it needs that. I just think that I actually believe War Within have any legendary weapons. &gt;&gt; I know that is our hot take debate and an idiot. I think you're an idiot. &gt;&gt; I think you're an idiot. No. The War
Within could have been a perfect 10 out of 10 expansion if it had a legendary. &gt;&gt; All right. Gotta get topic. &gt;&gt; See, we're about to get into hot take I don't want to do it. Anyways, moving moving into it.
more cons consolidated. &gt;&gt; I'm just kidding. By the way, guys, my &gt;&gt; Consolidation customizing effects and appearances. Okay, so that's cool. Adding and improving animations have come up more than you might imagine.
Really? I feel like I don't know. I I feel like the animations are pretty there are some spell effects that are goofy, and I don't think they're good still. Like, Ray of Frost is so outdated, it's out of control. I think
outdated, it's out of control. I think the new frozen orb is swamp ass. Um, now could use some updates? because apparently Blizzard is working on adding
and improving animations more than we have ever imagined. Um that &gt;&gt; enough some of the new animations are already like for the apex are are pretty bad. Like the frost mage one is pretty
bad. Um the destruction warlock beams look like they came out of vanilla WoW. Uh warrior animations in as a whole aim shot is pretty bad. Um,
oh, you know what? Gun sound effects in this game are also pretty bad. I would say those need to get changed. Um,
That'd be cool. &gt;&gt; Wait a second. Yeah, you're actually really right about that. Old Shadowbolt 2 was better. Like Vanilla Shadow &gt;&gt; Yes, Vanilla Shadow Bolt was better, too. And I and and I think the old
think they're both absolutely &gt;&gt; No, new fireball is better. &gt;&gt; I don't think so. Shut up. I don't think so. Do I have an echo? I think sometimes &gt;&gt; Juan, what's up, buddy? Testing. Testing. Can you hear me, Lance?
I think we're doing decent. I just sometimes [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] yell. I'm an idiot. Uh, old frostbolt. Yes. I I think the older spell effects for the direct casted abilities were better. Like I'll take Lance might [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] hate me for
it. Lance, &gt;&gt; you mean vanilla mind fllay? &gt;&gt; What? See, that's what I'm saying. He gets touchy. You say anything about old &gt;&gt; That animation was horrible. &gt;&gt; See, he gets touchy. See what I said? I
&gt;&gt; I said keep saying that the old man drain animation for Mind Fllay was good. That was the worst part about Shadow Priest in vanilla. I hated it. Bet it. &gt;&gt; Watch your mouth, bro.
touchy about Shadow Priest, bro. Him and classic Shadow Priest. It's too much, man. Let it go. You had anthemma. Let it go. and didn't progress cuz you wanted to keep [music] him in the same outfit, in
level, in the same expansion. &gt;&gt; Damn right. &gt;&gt; Okay, let go. Let it go. Shut up. Shut up. Like, stop it. Okay, enough, bro. Don't talk about
&gt;&gt; All right. Oh my god. &gt;&gt; You know what? How about you hold your blade up against mine? He goes, "Shut up." [laughter]
Here we go. Um, I think this is all interesting. This is all cool [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] If okay, scratch the flarehousing stuff. We know this [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is coming. We know that Next news, please. Um, and the player
customization thing is awesome. I I'm really really really hope that they do I would love it. And I think that's what the the game could be missing uh as of lately. Anyways, uh moving on. Uh are any of you healers out there in World of
Warcraft? Nope. I don't know who the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] V is, but I'd bone him. [laughter] [clears throat] Yo, wait. Time out. Why did that happen? Who the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is V? &gt;&gt; You're looking up BTS members. No, wait.
I went to hit controlV as in paste. Who the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is V? &gt;&gt; No, he's not. &gt;&gt; South Korean singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, produc. Is there anything he doesn't do? V for [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] vendetta. Oh
&gt;&gt; He's in BTS. &gt;&gt; Where? Oh my god, he is. How the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] do &gt;&gt; Because I looked I saw it say BTS right there. It's not because I listen to BTS &gt;&gt; bro. Stop. &gt;&gt; Yo, you said it 20 seconds ago.
and I thought I I just said it. &gt;&gt; What? &gt;&gt; And it just turned out to hit. Okay. You said what? Spill the beans, Lance. How the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] do you know that, guy?
How the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] do you know that? Listen, I love Boy with Love. I love that song. You &gt;&gt; Okay, listen. I'm going to be honest. &gt;&gt; Oh, boy. &gt;&gt; [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] it. I'll tell you my history of
&gt;&gt; No. &gt;&gt; Can we get some ones if we're in for a quick history of Lance with BTS? &gt;&gt; You [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] idiot. We aren't doing this &gt;&gt; We're not here. &gt;&gt; I don't even need a one. [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] it.
It all started in no quarantine. &gt;&gt; Not happening. My friend Steven way too &gt;&gt; lived with me at my house during quarantine. He literally the second we went into quarantine, he basically moved into my house. I had just moved in to my
into my house. I had just moved in to my first house with my then fiance. first house with my then fiance. Okay. And he I would be playing classic. Wow. He'd be playing right next to me and I would play a lot of shade. Okay.
&gt;&gt; Shade. Then he would go and be like, "No, no, no. We're gonna listen to this." And he would put on BTS. &gt;&gt; BTS. And after a while, fell in love with BTS. &gt;&gt; BTS, right?
&gt;&gt; All right. And there it is. &gt;&gt; And that's it. That's all there is to &gt;&gt; So during quarantine, I I Me and him would sit there and we would dance to &gt;&gt; and play a classic. Wow.
&gt;&gt; Yeah. Wow. Back to the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] news. Shout out to V. I don't know how it happened. You type one letter and he comes up. [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] legend. Anyways, priority sorting for
important healer buffs on raid frames have been added. So, of course, we all know it's been an issue for healers right now over on live that figuring out procs, for example, for preservation evokers for their echoes. And uh oh my
god, what's the spell? Something reversion. I think it's reversion that you apply to them. It's the hot and then you amplify it. Uh the idea is that it's it's been a messy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] for specs like even Missw Weaver. Um uh reversion the
hot. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So, I was right. Uh, so they added some things into the hot fix if we [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] are able to find it. Oh my god. Shout out to Wowhead. You guys are insane. Way to cut a corner. Holy
Okay. Holy. Where's the U? By the way, we would raid Where's the U? By the way, we would raid MC while listening to BTS and um it guy playing classic. Am I &gt;&gt; getting trolled? [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] off, V.
notable because healers have been doing pretty scuffed and unreliable workarounds to track important ray buffs. Apparently, I can't see. thing is.
The following spells are now prioritized on ra frames and always sorted near the of voker, echo, resto, shaman, riptide. Oh, wow. That's important. Oh, atonement. Oh. Oh. Oh, we got an order. Yo, guys, you
know what time it is. If you're in the chat right now, spam those comeback kid chat right now, spam those comeback kid icons in the chat &gt;&gt; because it is a Yo guys, listen, dude. The swag is out. I promise you, you guys

merch. &gt;&gt; Live better. Walmart. Oh, that's right. Riptide, Discipline Priest, Atonement, Misw Weaver, Monk, Renewing Mist, and thought Miss Weaver was paying this. Oh, don't even get me started. Resto Druid,
Reju, Rejuvenation, Germination, and Lifeloom, Holy Paladin, Beacon of Light, and Beacon of Faith. Um, yeah, W changes. So, we need a shirt that's an actual tabard. That'd be sick. Jesus Christ.
That'd be sick. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, boy. You done made it. You made it, boy. That's incredible. That sounds like a Last Titan idea, though. Uh, anyways, continuing. Uh, pretty good stuff. Pretty good stuff. Uh, guy, what
if we sold CBK shoulder pads? Shoulder pads so everyone could wear like how I feel about shoulder pads. They're the best transmog piece on the Okay, let's make it very Let me ask you guys this question. How many people do we
have in chat right now? We have 159 people in chat total right here, right now. Okay, I'm going to ask you guys a very simple question. When you're making a transmog, what is the first piece you transmog to base around the entirety of
your transmog? Go. Either the tabard or the shoulders. A tabard? Really? Yeah. &gt;&gt; I don't think I've ever [clears throat]
started a transmog around a tabard. What are you talking about? That's very interesting. That's weird of you. You're weird. Chest. Tabard. Oh my you. You're weird. Chest. Tabard. Oh my god. Head. Weapon. Shoulders. Weapon.
Don't at me. That's crazy. Weapon. Got to be shoulders or weapons. I'm going to be honest. I'm a shoulders guy. I start off with the shoulders or
&gt;&gt; Weapon's pretty good, too. Hold on. Weapon's a great one. I'll give you I'll give you that. &gt;&gt; Wait, it's the weapon, This is why you get paid.
&gt;&gt; Yeah, I don't usually wear helmets ever on my character, so that's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] great. On to the next. Really quick, guys. Uh, brand new heirloom war glaves available in the midnight pre- patch. Um, this war
glaive right here. Let me see if I can find the image. find the image. Classic WoW demon hunter. Um, this guy right here on the box art. I
this guy right here on the box art. I believe these could be the same models. What? Okay. Did you know that you could [&nbsp;__&nbsp;]
believe these are the same models as this night elf here um on the box art know if you guys remember that, but instantly when I saw this, it reminded me of this. Uh, is the IRL CBK tabard requirement for playing like dress
attire? Yes, 100%. what we're going to do is going to have everyone send in pictures of you guys everyone send in pictures of you guys and your setups for the launch day,
launch. You know, you show the merch, you show a mug, a hoodie, chilling out with the fam, you got the CBK stuff on. That is actually something really cool it's still &gt;&gt; doesn't have to be a new shirt. Um,
negative. Does it match? I can't [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] see from here, bro. I I'm sorry. Are you sure? That looked pretty damn close. Now that guy looks like he had gold on his
glitches from Warcraft 3. Yeah, it sounds about right. All right. Oh yeah, finally. Sky, I've been waiting to watch this. All right, thank God. Now, also, ladies and gentlemen, one of the bigger pieces of
news today is the brand new Lady Leaddin animation titled All That Is Sacred. This was just released by Blizzard a few hours ago. Um, and we are going to be watching it together live, checking it out and seeing what the hell is actually
going on here. So, let's take a second. Let's pay attention. Brand new animation Let's pay attention. Brand new animation coming right up. Let's lock in.
&gt;&gt; You see, the Sunwell is a font of energy, full of power that has sustained our people for thousands of years. &gt;&gt; Wow. So, it must be protected, and we ask for
the light's blessings to keep it safe. &gt;&gt; Father, what is the light? &gt;&gt; Well, my darling Leaddin,
I will tell you what I believe. &gt;&gt; Defend this well. &gt;&gt; That the light guides my steps and illuminates my path. Okay, so two of the three. In a world that is cruel and unforgiving
&gt;&gt; And when the light flows through me, &gt;&gt; And when the light flows through me, when I am one with all that is sacred, when I am one with all that is sacred, I know that darkness [music] can never
I know that darkness [music] can never prevail.
born. &gt;&gt; Yes.
&gt;&gt; Yep. &gt;&gt; Walk with me. I've been told we have &gt;&gt; Walk with me. I've been told we have much to discuss.
&gt;&gt; We have reason to believe that it will be at Silver Moon. I need you to send word to the priests so we can &gt;&gt; Before you were a paladin that you were &gt;&gt; Before you were a paladin that you were a priest [music] once. Yes.
&gt;&gt; No. No. No. Light blew through me. &gt;&gt; Grant me your grace. Hear me, [screaming] please.
&gt;&gt; Many of the paladins I anointed in life started as priests, trying to find meaning after the war they had just lost. Some sought retribution for all the suffering they had endured. Others tried to bury their
&gt;&gt; That is. &gt;&gt; But it was those who [music] did not find peace in the light who became &gt;&gt; I I'm sorry. I have to pause. Dude, &gt;&gt; I I'm sorry. I have to pause. Dude, this animation is so [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] good. Oh my
god. Look how crisp. &gt;&gt; But it was &gt;&gt; Oh my god, it's phenomenal. &gt;&gt; Who did this? &gt;&gt; Look at that animation. It's Oh my god. what I would do for a World of Warcraft
what I would do for a World of Warcraft animated show. I mean, what are we talking about? &gt;&gt; In the light, you became the most dangerous. &gt;&gt; We have a war to prepare for, [music]
&gt;&gt; And we will be fighting this war together, Leadrin. So, I need you to ask yourself why. The mere sight of me had you grasping your sword.
you grasping your sword. I What the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] are they doing here? &gt;&gt; We're just here for him, elf.
&gt;&gt; We're just here for him, elf. &gt;&gt; Oh [&nbsp;__&nbsp;]
&gt;&gt; Wow. Oh. Oh, wings. They're showing us the holy DPS spect would look like for priest.
Avenge your shield. Wait a second. &gt;&gt; Wow. their actual shield? I do not harbor the hate that they do.
&gt;&gt; It's just echoes of when war came to Silver Moon. Silver Moon. &gt;&gt; No, I know that Rox's foul is the holy &gt;&gt; No, I know that Rox's foul is the holy DPS.
&gt;&gt; Wow, that was rough. Oh, Leadrin, I did not know. &gt;&gt; And yet you were right. I became a paladin for every reason. You said, loss, despair,
retribution. But when the Sunbell, despite having endured terrible loss and destruction, was reborn in the glory of the light, so was reborn in the glory of the light, so too was my hope and my hope.
&gt;&gt; Oh, it's Prophe. &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; Oh my god, I didn't even see that. &gt;&gt; And the glory of God, right? &gt;&gt; And the glory of God, right? &gt;&gt; So too was my faith and my hope. [music]
So, I will face the echoes that haunt me and fight for the sacred heart of Silver and fight for the sacred heart of Silver Moon, knowing [music] that together with Moon, knowing [music] that together with the light by our side, darkness will
the light by our side, darkness will never prevail. [music] I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Um,
know. Um, this game is so woke, bro. this game is so woke, bro. Wait a second. Wait a second. That video was about a girl. This game is cooked.
This game is cooked. I mean, this [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is so fire on a level that I can't even really wrap my mind around. There's probably so much to break down in this video from a frame by frame perspective. The art style is a 10
out of 10. The voice acting's great. Animation's good. By the way, there's a difference between having good art style and the animation be bad, by the way. I don't know if you guys know that. Um, but both of these are absolute hits.
World of Warcraft things, so it's just perfect. Yeah. Bingo poke. Yeah, sure, man. I mean, I don't
It's crazy to me. Like Like what could we complain about this now? Like what what is there to say about this now? What? Her [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] p her her braid isn't something? Like what could we possibly say? Like Like what? Like what is the
negative here? Because I'm dying to see someone bring something up that is possibly negative. Like what? It's a video about a woman. Like what are we what are we doing? packs with the $2. Oh, thank you, buddy.
This is good. Yo, guys, come back. Hit icons in the chat. Um, dude, I mean, I like there's always something to complain about, but now it's it's at this point where it's like, what could you possibly say without genuinely no
[&nbsp;__&nbsp;] just being a hater? Like, and it's just obvious. Like, there's nothing you shut up. &gt;&gt; What do you mean? That was that was a Disney animation. Probably right. That's probably what
they would say. This isn't Warcraft enough. especially empowered by the light. To me, I'll tell you the same thing I told most Warcraft thing I've seen in like a decade. Yeah, this was this was [&nbsp;__&nbsp;]
&gt;&gt; Alec, well, I mean, they did do that Yria one last expansion, too. Maybe we could watch that one too real quick cuz that one was also insane. And what they need to do is just keep doing more [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] like this.
Yeah, probably. I'm just coping for a holy DPS uh spec for priests. Uh let's check out this one. This was the uh one from the war within. Oh, [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] thing. Oh my god. Where's my mouse? I mean,
&gt;&gt; When we are young, we are taught to revere [music] the light. revere [music] the light. But when I turn to it, I see only fire.
The fire of pain, of loss, the choices I made. home. until the Horde threatened everything.
&gt;&gt; By the way, why are people upset that the new Silver Moon is trying to go back to like not red and green and fell like based and they're trying to take the &gt;&gt; Well, they don't rely on the Fel anymore. The Fel is kind of outlawed in
the horror. Okay, so my point is is why are people complaining about that [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] when that's not actually the case going on inside of World of Warcraft? Like in actuality, like it's been what in time in game like 10, 15 years since TBC or
something? How many years has it been? 10 years, 15 years since TBC? No, a lot &gt;&gt; Really? I thought Anduin was like &gt;&gt; nine or 10. &gt;&gt; They also did a 5year time skip. &gt;&gt; What? How old is Anduin now? After I
&gt;&gt; after Shadowlands from Shadowlands to Dragonfly, they did a 5year time skip. &gt;&gt; Wait, how old is Anduin? I thought he was in his mid20s. I don't know how old he is exactly, but I know they did a five time in classic then. 20 years
&gt;&gt; No, but I think I saw something that said every expansion was happening in its real time. &gt;&gt; Interesting. &gt;&gt; Every expansion was about two years long.
I would say Anduin is maybe mid to late 20s maybe maybe at this point heading into midnight early 30s. That's my guess. My point is is like it's been a guess. My point is is like it's been a very very long time and if you if you
think and like if you honestly genuinely think blood elves should still be this fell corrupted, you know, [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] &gt;&gt; I will say they had much more like edge to them now or back then. &gt;&gt; For sure they did. Um, and they were
&gt;&gt; for sure. &gt;&gt; But also at the end of TBC, as we saw there, Villain restores the Sunwell. them &gt;&gt; keep them going anymore. They they
&gt;&gt; So, is this just a scenario where people don't know what the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] they're talking dispute [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] &gt;&gt; Probably. Okay. Wanted to make that clear. &gt;&gt; We're not sworn to protect it.
&gt;&gt; We're not sworn to protect it. &gt;&gt; Classic Larry.
&gt;&gt; When Sylvanas and I fought together, we fought as one. &gt;&gt; Stones, &gt;&gt; pulling my sister and I apart.
&gt;&gt; You will choose the Alliance over quel the loss. Our home. &gt;&gt; It's not just our kingdom at risk. If the Horde isn't beaten back, others will fall. I have to go. But you're abandoning your family.
abandoning your family. &gt;&gt; I am doing this for our family. &gt;&gt; But I known that my actions would curse Sylvanas to [music] her fate. But I have
Sylvanas to [music] her fate. But I have chosen differently. to the end. I had no idea how far away that fight would take me.
&gt;&gt; Yet despite the war, I found my life's true love &gt;&gt; to Rallion. &gt;&gt; And together, [music] we fought side by side until we became three.
&gt;&gt; Why a one-handed? &gt;&gt; But beyond the boundaries of our world, our enemies grew [music] powerful. &gt;&gt; You can make your stand here. Why risk marching into the unknown? &gt;&gt; Our only choice is to take the fight to
them. age context and was born in year 15 of the Warcraft timeline and was 18 at the end of Legion. So that would be it would be year 33 at the end of Legion. Okay. Post Shadowlands significant time passes
&gt;&gt; Dragon Flight. So &gt;&gt; about seven years and then another what you have to 18 months 8 years almost nine after war within after war within or or since going into midnight now it would be eight years
total. &gt;&gt; Yeah since Shadowlands so it'd be late &gt;&gt; Yeah around there. &gt;&gt; Interesting. Their drug addiction was cured in Sunwell Plateau or cat heroics, right? And they became just normal, not
needing the Sunwell to feed their drug, right, Lance? Um, yeah, they don't need magic from things anymore, but I think they still do feed off like the Sunwell
[laughter] &gt;&gt; So, like night elves stay young because of, you know, their world tree, right? But then blood elves would do that because of the sun. &gt;&gt; Too late. Should we not succeed, I will
&gt;&gt; R's kid, dude, &gt;&gt; just come back. &gt;&gt; I don't know. &gt;&gt; Return before you know it, &gt;&gt; Return before you know it, &gt;&gt; that's a bullface lie.
again [music] until he was a man himself? &gt;&gt; How the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] still left? &gt;&gt; Blessed Lance.
right outside the portal something watch I believe. I don't remember. Anyone know? Oh, what's the keep side of last? &gt;&gt; No proud co with a two with a $2 dono. It's been 25 years since TBC and lore.
Holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Guys, if Nether Guard keep there it is. icons in the chat. Show some love to the donos, man. Show some love, guys. Got to show some love to communic community
support. &gt;&gt; The only thing left to give was myself. &gt;&gt; There was no other way. &gt;&gt; In order to defeat the darkness,
[screaming] to our void meta. purple here. &gt;&gt; Mhm.
&gt;&gt; But then since then they have now made the void like the void like &gt;&gt; bluish black.
&gt;&gt; But at what cost? Terrellion, [music] who had known me, loved me, &gt;&gt; fought beside me, &gt;&gt; now saw me differently. &gt;&gt; What have you done? &gt;&gt; The shadow, it saved us.
&gt;&gt; The shadow, it saved us. &gt;&gt; No. fall to evil. &gt;&gt; Talion didn't understand,
&gt;&gt; but I could not fault him. &gt;&gt; If I had known that embracing the shadow would push him away, would I have sought another path?
characters? I I don't understand like what what I have have they even tried to know what's going on at all before they just say things like a thousand years of war. But I will say Yria's arc in the war within was not good.
&gt;&gt; I'll admit it. &gt;&gt; She actually kind of annoyed me at times like especially in Ashkahet. She annoyed me. Okay, but she actually made &gt;&gt; Have you not already understood that when she has her mind set on something,
she's just going to do it? &gt;&gt; Okay, like Zalat is her new killing &gt;&gt; Okay, like Zalat is her new killing horde/orcs. That's it. Zalot is now her way of letting that [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] inner demon out and to justify letting that inner
demon out because she's looking for an excuse to tap into that power again. &gt;&gt; No, I No, I get it. Just &gt;&gt; you just don't like it. It was not a good like had an arc &gt;&gt; just stayed the same thing actually even
into the epilog quest line it was the same thing she still jumps through the portal to go after Zo still like she actually didn't change at all there was actually didn't change at all there was no growth [cough]
&gt;&gt; no all of the things I did I did for a all of the things I did I did for a reason better than the old green look.
&gt;&gt; War is sacrifice. &gt;&gt; Same with Ter. Similar vibe. &gt;&gt; And I have sacrificed everything to protect those I love. &gt;&gt; She's fire. &gt;&gt; To keep them safe.
myself to protect our world. &gt;&gt; Oblade. True. &gt;&gt; Oblade. True. &gt;&gt; I will not [music] hesitate. &gt;&gt; Wow. &gt;&gt; I am a soldier of Azeroth.
at first I didn't like the new look that she has. I used to be like, why did they change her from green? But like, &gt;&gt; well, in the green she just looked like a Windrunner sister. I feel like her going to this new void, it's like I'm no
&gt;&gt; like just a Windrunner. &gt;&gt; I'm not a Windrunner. I'm not just here &gt;&gt; I'm I'm a champion of Azeroth. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree. Absolutely. Uh 100%. By the way, guys, if any of you are in game right now in the guild,
know that we are live. We still have a good hour left of the show. So, let them know we're live. I forgot to mention it early on in the show. Please get the we're live. Chilling. I'm the hero and champion of Azeroth. Yeah. No. Um,
being the main character is cool, but I don't know. I I feel like when they do this thing where they have us as the champion do everything, like I feel like it diminishes the importance and like the strength of these characters like
for example like Yria doing [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] or Talion or like I don't know. I I I there that could definitely use some love. Definitely could use some [&nbsp;__&nbsp;]
love. I don't know. Like, we also need to set up for the future though, too, right? Like, where's Thrawl son? Like, we need to set up for this next age of heroes/ champions, whether of course, whether they be male or female. Um,
so I I think like we need this [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] We need more. Like I think Anduin's good. Er's good, but that's just too like where's where's the next round? You know what I mean? Um, I could agree with that. I think some warlock named Ian
should have come come in and finish at Zal Zalatath. Then the jailer can come and take her away. True. Blizzard and recently has done a crap job of to books. Yeah, Lance says this every single stream. Um, it's just all books.
single stream. Um, it's just all books. like with World of Warcraft lore, like you'll never you'll never stand a chance unless unless you're [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] diving into the books and trying to understand this [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] video game. So,
baby? &gt;&gt; Yo, guys, show some love. That is our uh that is the comeback kids agent, by the way. Lon's pawns. Show some love. He's the guy who keeps us afloat. Uh I mean, isn't that why we're going to be
I'm assuming so. I haven't done it, so I don't know. But yeah, I hope uh I hope don't know. But yeah, I hope uh I hope Erator ends up being a big part. &gt;&gt; Oh. Oh, okay. &gt;&gt; Is my [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] just going to freeze?
&gt;&gt; Whoa. Hello. Whoa. &gt;&gt; What? &gt;&gt; Greetings, son of &gt;&gt; The books are fire, right? &gt;&gt; Okay, so check this out. This is a fan-made trailer. This person used to
this was just made the other day and released. Um, I don't know if he's making a full-blown episode explaining this or a series or what, but I thought this was very interesting that we should check out. So, let's take a look here.
This is some older stuff, though, so heads up. New episode, April 30. &gt;&gt; Greetings, son of Durotan. The demons are returning. Yes, and only by leading your people across [music] the sea will
you have a chance to stand against them. &gt;&gt; Welcome, Prince Arthus. &gt;&gt; The orcs were sacrificing to us. These orcs are trying to hold on to dying traditions. Be careful, Arthus. You can show [music] yourself now, Jana.
&gt;&gt; I've heard the rumors of the plague spreading throughout the Northlands. &gt;&gt; That's why I need you to travel there. It's good to see you again, Jana. &gt;&gt; What were those creatures, Sergeant? &gt;&gt; I'm dead. Meow. This whole village has
&gt;&gt; If this grain can spread the plague, there's no telling how many villages &gt;&gt; Hello again, children. &gt;&gt; Are you responsible for this plague? &gt;&gt; I serve the dread lord Malganis. &gt;&gt; You know what feeling I get from this?
This makes me feel like one of those uh what are those Tales games with like &gt;&gt; Oh, the tall tale games. &gt;&gt; Hell Tale or whatever they're called. Um this just make this just gives me like trailer to that vibe. The scourge that
will cleanse this land. For now, the scourging of [music] this land begins. &gt;&gt; Prince Arthus, during the night, a vast army of undead warriors emerged. Jana, I'll stay here to protect the village.
tell Lord Uther what's happened. Wait, what did those crates contain? Just a &gt;&gt; Oh no. &gt;&gt; Defend yourselves, Prince Arthus. The undead forces have arrived.
arrived. Ultra ground.
This is impossible. The numbers seem limitless. Wow, dude. That was sick. Was that not sick or who made that? Uh.
&gt;&gt; Oh, Jy. &gt;&gt; Oh, no. Jose BV. &gt;&gt; That [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] was fire, was it not? &gt;&gt; Yo, give that guy a shout out, bro. That cool. Could you imagine like getting consistent episodes like that throughout
that. That [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] was pretty cool. &gt;&gt; That's episode 14. continuation. It's just him doing mini trailers, but like he hasn't done one of those videos in like seven years, I think, or something crazy. I want to
watch him. So, uh, yeah, I thought that was very interesting. Um, either way, time we continue on with the show. Let's head into the next segment, form form freakout, where we pull the wildest, saltiest, and most unhinged
takes from the WoW community. From rage post to Reddit meltdowns, nothing here is safe from the freakout. Let's get into it. Okay, starting the forum freakout today. Uh, we got Bellar's video. Blizzard
dropped a new cash shop and gear upgrades now cost gold. 12.0 pay to win panic. Oh, Oh, chat. What the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] man?
This is why I feel like the community sentiment for like active people who play WoW like retail. There's not really I don't know. Anyways, I was just memeing there a little bit. I thought that was funny. I
I mean, is 12.0 going to be pay to win? Pay to win. We're now pay to win. So, [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] it. This is where we're at in World of Warcraft. Uh midnight hype failure. Oh, boy. Here we go, guys. Get ready to form freak out. This is about to be
absolute insanity here. Don't freak out. Kicking off right now. Midnight hype or class pruning. [music] Real reasons for midnight hype failure. polished, it's a feature that doesn't impact gameplay. New race and class.
night elf variant isn't interesting at all. Three consecutive races that nobody asked for prove devs are disconnected from reality. There's no new class setting. We just defeated Demensius. Absolutely nobody is interested in
defeating an invasion of warlock pets. Modern devs failed to develop the void. This is objectively is a this is objectively a fact. Okay. The story has been weak for consecutive expansions. Most most don't expect it to improve. No
sign of a heroic male character taking the lead in battle. The foundation of World of Warcraft. &gt;&gt; I guess Er doesn't exist. &gt;&gt; No. Or Alien. &gt;&gt; Nope. All
right. All right. Guess those guys aren't in &gt;&gt; I don't know. Um, if you think housing is not a draw, yo, Barbaron, thank you &gt;&gt; No, literally though, we're getting a whole story line with
like a whole campaign and he's like a main character. race is [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] awesome. I think her is a knock out of the park in my opinion. I
thought they're super cool. I love their customizations. Uh I think the Devour is see people being upset that we only get a spec and not a whole class. &gt;&gt; that's fair, &gt;&gt; I guess. But like what if they just
Then we would have gotten the same amount of specs that we would have gotten in Legion and even Dragon Flight until the update and even Dragon Flight until the update for augmentation. That's true, too.
Uh yeah, we we need some time to see what Erator is really about. Um I I listen, I don't think he's 100% wrong, but I do think he's like over fabricating things a little bit and like taking it out of proportion a little
much. Like like the story has been weak for consecutive expansions. I don't know. I've liked the story since Dragonfly. I think it's on its way. And to be Midnight [music] and The Last
been a big setup game for a while, right? Like okay, maybe it's not the strongest, sure, but like I I don't know. Blizz Shill 100%. That's all me, baby. Um I didn't said I didn't say housing is bad. It's just not enough for
an expansion. That's definitely not true. I I don't know. I And by the way, people have this idea where they think housing is like the only thing happening don't blame them for thinking that though because Blizzard shoves it right
down my [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] every two [music] seconds. So maybe if they stopped doing that and started showing and advertising more stuff. Other than that, you know, [music] it would help themselves out a little bit. Um, it's more of the same.
killer feature people are excited about either. Block could use some love as well. I'm kind of tired of Sylvanas and Anduin arcs being repeated over and over again. Sylvanas and Anduin arcs. We didn't see
&gt;&gt; No, I think they mean this those style of arcs. Okay. Okay. going over well tonight. Read the room, Keith. Oh boy. Isn't a blood elf? Oh
Keith. Oh boy. Isn't a blood elf? Oh god, that's crazy. Uh, it's not easy to get a new arc/villain into a story that stretches over 30 years by now. I think they're doing a great Listen, say what you will, but I think when it comes to
Zalat, [clears throat] I think they're nailing it so far. I I think they're doing as about as great as they could for a villain for a saga that's interesting and cool enough to be like, "Okay, what could she possibly do
next?" You know what I mean? Um, the most devout Blizzard who has customized talking about. I'm hyped to progress through new content with friends after a agree with a few of your points, but they don't really impact what I enjoy
&gt;&gt; Okay. &gt;&gt; Uh I don't know. What do you guys think? Do you guys think the midnight hype is not good or it's could be better? I mean, it could, you know, it could always be better, right? You know, this
is not uh this is not where World of Warcraft ruled the world anymore, right? It's not 2008 Wrath of the Lich King isn't coming out. But, the game aren't hype is also I mean, listen, you're entitled to that opinion,
listen, you're entitled to that opinion, but that's an opinion that's just false. There's definitely people who are hyped. excited about Midnight. Yeah, you know, I mean, yes, man. Going back to L4 is a
sign to me the World of Warcraft is healing after amalore trauma. Come back complain about anything and nothing will ever please them. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Yeah. Why the hell is Bellar even still
around? There's been nothing but a bag of salt since they shut down his add-on. All right. I don't even know the story behind that. But I think Belellar plays tries to, you know, make the videos for people who love WoW and then make the
videos for people who [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] hate. So, he plays a little bit of both sides and &gt;&gt; all in the same week. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Not even within like the same two, three days. So, it's just I don't know. It's weird. Like I don't know. Like I'm
all about constructive criticism, but like the titles and thumbnails are out that's coming from a content creator saying that, which I know it's the name of the game, but holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Saying WoW
could be pay to win is crazy to say. Like it's just crazy, bro. Like I don't know. Believe me, I get the whatever, you know, gets clicks thing, but uh it's just a little much for me personally. Uh oh, this one got taken out.
&gt;&gt; Got deleted. &gt;&gt; That was a good one. &gt;&gt; Classic players are so grumpy. You guys don't like change. The relatives who still have the heavy TV in the living
a chance for a week just to understand the appeal, but was quickly reminded why this game felt out of date and old 10 years ago. Retail is so much more life outside of the game while also at the same time being more difficult and
that actually works out, but even classic loyalists don't deny that. Um, yeah, I'm going to be honest. I I really have tried to play TBC again and I'm level 62 on my warrior. So, I boosted 58, went to 62. Yeah. No, I'm going to
be completely upfront and honest. This [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is torture to play. Like it's a two to three button rotation. It's like a stat check the entire time. It's a gear check. Everything's a gear check. It's not a skill check. Oh. Um
you want to play a sweaty group, you can progress exponentially faster than, you know, a group that's just kind of full of randoms and random specs and classes. Um you're either playing full-on melee cleave, full-on spell cleave, anything
time. And let me tell you something. When it comes to classic players, let me tell you and be completely real. They're more keen on saving time than retail &gt;&gt; Yes. &gt;&gt; They like to save time more.
&gt;&gt; They are keen on efficiency and doing things as fast as possible because guess what? &gt;&gt; Anything you do in TBC takes 2 hours. &gt;&gt; It's also cuz they've been there and done that already five times.
&gt;&gt; This is now the third goound. &gt;&gt; This is third third goound for TBC. like this many times. They did it on private servers a bunch. the thing is is, and I'll make this very, very clear. I think classic and
&gt;&gt; Sir, &gt;&gt; I think Classic and TBC in my opinion is &gt;&gt; I think Classic and TBC in my opinion is like the best combo onetwo punch of any RPG ever. I think it's the best of all time. Like it like for for the time.
Wait a second. Now, [clears throat] you ask me today what I think. I think they're cool, but it's just absolutely not for me. Like, I am I I do not have time to play 2 three hours a day and get a quarter of a level or half a level. I
That's so ridiculous to me. Like, say what you will, and I might get clipped what you will, and I might get clipped for this, but I made a Wind Walker monk yesterday. I had him at level 70. I got 70 to 80 and I got really good gear
5 hours. &gt;&gt; 5 hours. &gt;&gt; From 70 to 80 and geared. &gt;&gt; 70 to 80. Decent gear. Good enough for [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] hours. &gt;&gt; Really?
&gt;&gt; Total? That's dead max. Now you know what you get done in 5 hours of TBZ. &gt;&gt; You're lucky and a half. &gt;&gt; No, you're [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] a level and a half. Some of us are gamers though, like myself.
Maybe you're a little slow and that's fine. I'm slow. Okay. Hey, some of us are very fast. &gt;&gt; Okay. Some of us are gamers. Smite, thank you for the follow. Appreciate the love. Um, so the question is, guys, let
me ask you really quick. Why are classic players you really quick. Why are classic players so angry all the time? genuinely
are they upset because they don't have their classic plus yet? Are they upset that they've asked for? Are they upset because they got the official hardcore servers, season of mastery, season of discovery? What is so upsetting from a
not me like trying to meme. I'm actually curious. This is not me trying to meme. curious. This is not me trying to meme. I'm actually curious what's going on. Um I don't know. Let's read the post. Uh cuz they're mad about people hating on
because they're wasting their life. That's crazy. They genuinely wish that than retail. Like, oh, let me tell you something. That's true. They They're the
type of people that would say, "Burn retail down. Don't do anything if it meant they get the classic." And you know what's sad is I would never say, know what's sad is I would never say, "Fuck classic. More effort into retail."
Because I know Classic's awesome and it's great and it has its community even though we all know retail funds Classic and all of its [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] development. Like we we absolutely know that. You think &gt;&gt; I think Classic has enough players
making money on classic &gt;&gt; and I'm not talking about the classic those fund themselves because I hate to say it it's awful to say those have WoW &gt;&gt; and boost I think. &gt;&gt; Yeah, those are goods. That's money.
Money in the bank. So, they're making their own bread. But those little original classic realms, you know, [singing] takes a lot of work. Yeah. For five developers to run that
thing and then give the wrong armor values on a midnight on a TBC release. Oh, did you hear about that? &gt;&gt; Mhm. Crazy, huh? How the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] that happened? Uh, if they keep refreshing the classic servers, I' I'd probably be
for a feeling they had two decades ago, but are never able to find it and it never will be. That must be frustrating if someone tries to open their eyes. Yeah, I I think the honest answer is they just hate change. It is. No, but I
think uh that's that's pretty that's pretty correct and on the nose. I would say like they're chasing their childhood for a lot of these guys. &gt;&gt; They want to feel like they're 15 years old again. probably a lot of guys in
their 30s, mid-30s, early 40s, maybe old, maybe older, and they want to feel like they did when they played the game back then, but &gt;&gt; life moves on and then they realize that the game is
maybe it is the same, but they're not, right? So then it's upset. They're far from it. Uh, it's pure nostalgia. Blindly nostalgic, overpower. Okay, out while waiting for midnight. Nope. I got to the character creation and backed
exploring Outland again, but I remember too much of it. And I enjoy the current It's harder cuz it takes more [music] of your time. That's it. I guess people that way. Yeah. I I don't know. Trying to go back and dive into something I've
to go back and dive into something I've already done. It's It's like if Dragonfly released tomorrow on a private server, would you go play it? Would you go play Dragonfly? No. &gt;&gt; Would you go play a Shadowlands?
No. Would you go play a [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] I don't count. &gt;&gt; I would play Legion. That's the best &gt;&gt; I would play Legion. That's the best expansion ever. Anyone?
&gt;&gt; Maybe. Maybe dab a little in BFA. Oh, you're [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] crazy. You would go play &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; Would you guys play a relaunch of Battle for Azeroth? like final patch battle for Azeroth when they had the um
expansion of all time. You cannot count Legion. That's [music] not fair. Legion. That's [music] not fair. &gt;&gt; My point is is like why like like why been there, done that? I mean, I'm not saying I would play it for a prolonged
period of time, but I would like to go and do a little tour. Final patch for the was awesome. Yeah, I think we can all agree on that. We can agree on that. Withered army trading ain't that crazy? No. Would not do BFA.
I'd play Legion all day. I would go play a relaunch of Cataclysm. That just happened. We just had that chance. Not many people did. &gt;&gt; No one did. It's just not for you, bro. Game sucks. Unless your dopamine fried
pointless rewards and currencies every 5 seconds. That's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] We like retail cuz we get showered with pointless rewards and currencies. pointless rewards and currencies. That's what's up. Um,
played WoW occasionally on weekends growing up. There is zero nostalgia for from the game. Also, I don't give an f about difficulty or accomplishments. because it actually feels like a world. It actually has RPG elements that make
my characters feel unique. The art style is much better. I mean, there's so much going on here. and the setting of the world that then the weird Disney mobile game style of retail. I can go on. I mean, he just said every like blanket
statement that everyone's ever pared about retail, like top to bottom. Let's go through it. Ready? It actually feels like a world. That's a [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] lie. Because other than leveling in classic World of Warcraft, you literally never
&gt;&gt; you get teleported everywhere. You literally go run dungeons and you go run PvP battlegrounds and then you go run actually that's it. &gt;&gt; Your raid. You're one raid a week. Yeah.
character feel unique. I don't know what that means. You got to give me like an actual example. I don't know what does that mean. Has an RP has RPG elements
that mean. Has an RP has RPG elements that make my character feel unique. is much better. I mean, that's just a personal preference thing. I don't know.
You either like the art style in classic or retail better. Listen, one thing I'll say is classic probably does do No, Classic does a better job at making you Classic does a better job at making you feel immersed. Of course.
feel immersed. Of course. Um, I agree. I'll agree to that. Does it feel like more of a world? I don't know because maybe been 2004 it did but the way people play the game now not so much like I even remember as far back in TVC
I never ran anywhere it would just be like oh I got to go to this dungeon pull up the LFG Bolton Bolton board see who's summoning from there boom done or get a teleport from like whatever so it's just like I don't know
&gt;&gt; am I pack at one point even in TBC it became okay go to chat to do for the heroic or teleport to the raid and that's it. &gt;&gt; Yo guys, put some comeback hit icons in the chat for the $5 dono. Thank you so
much. Nova Proud Coat says, "My family likes classic because of the sole pace of it. Retail is just too fast-paced for them." Listen, I'm just going to say it as someone that does not have a lot of time in his day. I am a very busy
person. I work 80% of my day that I'm awake and the rest I'm hanging out with awake and the rest I'm hanging out with my freaking girlfriend. I I have very very little time to play a video game to literally sit and play a game. You ask
whenever there are like whenever they see me online, they message me, yo, you can't. I'm getting footage right now directly to a video that I'm editing right now as I speak. So, like what game would fit me better? For me, it's retail
&gt;&gt; Yeah. Well, listen, if you like the slow paced gameplay of Classic, there's there's definitely nothing wrong with that. I just think like it's just two sets of people that have different times. Like I'm I'm out of time to play
&gt;&gt; I don't know because you invest 2 hours in the classic and you get nothing done. There's nothing done in 2 hours of classic. Wow. Nothing. classic. Wow. Nothing. &gt;&gt; Well, it depends what you're there for.
&gt;&gt; But obviously you're not there for the like the first time you did TBC. It's &gt;&gt; The journey of being an Outlander &gt;&gt; is great. &gt;&gt; Awesome. And that's why I say it's the best MMO of all time, but it's not the
four times in a row. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Which is fair. That's also fair. &gt;&gt; Yeah. Which is fair. That's also fair. &gt;&gt; So my point is is like if we're talking &gt;&gt; So my point is is like if we're talking about 2026, we're in 2026.
about 2026, we're in 2026. I do not think classic is even halfassed or or I don't even think a whole retail jockstrap and a 2026 version MMO RPG. That's what I'm saying now. 2004 best game of all time. PBC best classic
expansion of all time. The best. Doesn't get better. It's phenomenal. Peak experience. But going to replay it, it's not job or a life or a family or a girlfriend or
tries to stay in shape or handle things and try to make more money outside of [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] their 9 to5. It's just not possible. &gt;&gt; Well, no. I certainly to play classic. &gt;&gt; Does anyone know what I'm saying here?
Like like I think yo, give me give me a lockdown like co again. Classic's the better game than retail. I'll admit it. It's the better game. I would play that content creator, I could just play the video game. Give me classic World of
Warcraft. I'll spend 5 6 hours a day on it. Easy. But you give me max an hour, 2 hours a day, I ain't even looking at classic. It's just a joke to me. It's way too much. I don't have time. Doesn't fit my
schedule. It's not realistic. It's not difficult. It's It's way more sweaty and metal slave than anything coming close to retail. Like, I don't know. I like nostalgia. That's why I still have a PS1 and a G Game Boy
But for an MMO, which is a time investment, rehashing the same content investment, rehashing the same content for 20 plus years is bonkers to me. seasons or raid season if I'm in the mood for a slower pace RPG for SM. True.
same as it did when we played it back in 2004. And honestly, I think when it comes to like classic players, I think that's the issue with like I think they're just trying to chase a feeling that they're they're trying to get again
and I don't know. It's just they just can't get it. Like and the game is peak, man. Like I like put me on a desert island. I will pick classic WoW is the game I play. classic, not even TBC, cuz the leveling journey across Horde and
Alliance is vastly different and each class has a vastly different leveling journey as well. Very different feels, &gt;&gt; but like I don't know. What are your thoughts? It's just hard for me. I It's hard for
me to have time to play that game. It's like I'm going to, you know, at the launch of Midnight, I'm taking some time off. I'm going to be able to play it. I'm going to get my get my one character kind of set up for the expansion and
then I'm going to go back to playing two nights a week for a few hours if I do that in classic unless I get to max level and then I'm raid logging. max level and then I'm raid logging. That's fair. I could do that.
Um but that's hard to do. &gt;&gt; Like it would take me classic. &gt;&gt; Bro, let me tell you something right now, Lance. And I'm like, "Fuck the stream. [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] the content. Fuck." Like,
I'm not kidding right now. You would never make it to level 70, 60 to 70 right now in TBC. It It would genuinely, I'm not even [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] you, maybe take you 5 6 months. I'm not even joking. &gt;&gt; No, I don't think that would,
&gt;&gt; bro. With the amount of time I know you play, you're crazy. I would play more. I'm telling you right now, as someone who's played 2, three hours every night, every other night to try to [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] level up and get a 70 to try to
potentially, you know, make some extra content later on this year. It's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] content later on this year. It's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] impossible, bro. It is torture. It is legitimately torture. It is a very painful experience.
&gt;&gt; Want to do it? We do it just to piss you off. I bet money you can do. 60 to 70. &gt;&gt; All right. I give you $500. Five $500.
you there. &gt;&gt; 500 bucks all year, ladies and gentlemen. &gt;&gt; 500 bucks. Clip it. Clip it. 500 bucks. You have 60 days. 60 days. Bet me money right now. I swear
&gt;&gt; Can we start the 60 days after midnight launch so I can enjoy my leveling? &gt;&gt; Even better. So you can't even dungeon [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] spam. Go for it. Go do nothing &gt;&gt; Idiot. &gt;&gt; And 60 days dead max.
&gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; Start the clock. &gt;&gt; Okay, I'm going. I bet you &gt;&gt; frost mage AoE grinding. &gt;&gt; Open world. &gt;&gt; You're going to do slave pets.
&gt;&gt; you're going to open world AoE farm. &gt;&gt; Brawl mage blizzard. Improve Blizzard. Yeah, big Frost. I got it, bro. Anyways, restoring trust shouldn't be assumed. Oh boy, this guy's going in.
The recent outage of Warban Bank access seriously damaged the trust many of us had tenuously with Blizzard. Considering their recent streak of bugs and issues, it's not hyperbole to say that this pre pre-expansion has not been good and is
perhaps the most bugridden in the last several expansions. apparent lack of action on reported issues during the beta. Abrupt outages of certain services without any updates. And then a brief announcement that it's fixed without any
transparency doesn't go a long way to restoring that trust. Yo, this guy's hot. I mean, you missed the issue badly enough that you needed the better part of 3 days to get this fixed. A lot of us were relying on that
service and lost that time due to the unavailability of resources. And now some of us are a leerary of using it again. Why should we trust you enough to use this feature again? Now, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who will
bother me at all. The question still stands, though. I'm not expecting when you're making the rounds of the influencers, you might want to address this. And I'd suggest a little more sensitivity than don't you people have
phones displayed? He's bringing up the the Diablo Immortal sentiment. &gt;&gt; Holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] This guy is pissed. &gt;&gt; He's upset. &gt;&gt; This guy is pissed. Can I get some Fs in
&gt;&gt; This guy is pissed. Can I get some Fs in the chat for this guy? Holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] &gt;&gt; What was in his war bank? &gt;&gt; I got disabled. This poor guy.
&gt;&gt; Yo, &gt;&gt; this guy's not going to make it. No, it's 2026 and people still don't understand how big online is. Listen, man. How long Let me ask you guys in the
chat. How long have you guys played World of Warcraft? How many years? 5 10 15 20 years? How long have you guys been playing WoW? I'm curious. 16 years since
playing WoW? I'm curious. 16 years since beta. 10 years. 20 years. 15 years, 20 plus years since launch. 20 years. Okay, cool. Awesome. We got a lot here. Let me ask you a follow-up question. And how many of those years
Great. Pre- patch event is banging. There's very minimal issues. Things are smooth as [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Everything is great and just
butter. How many times I'm just I'm curious. you never been one pre- patch that I remember that's been smooth. And they use the pre the reason why they do a month pre- patch and implement the
expansion into the game for pre- patch and give it a month or plus is to work those bugs out cuz they know the second they do it. Oh, this [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is going to be &gt;&gt; Yeah, &gt;&gt; big scam. Big lockdown. Yes,
&gt;&gt; we had a monthl long pre patch for midnight. We're leading into now it's &gt;&gt; but the events being good and the game being buggy or not are two different &gt;&gt; We're not talking about good events. By the way, Legion event was the best one
ever. Is it legit? It is legit for phasing and things so we can be mostly ready on launch. Exactly. So like we have to know the purpose of this thing, especially Hold on. We have to know the insane amount of changes they're making
for Midnight World of Warcraft. All the add-on, all the UI changes, all the cooldown manager and DPS meters and stat squishes and like there is a lot going
on with the midnight pre- patch here, man. There was a lot. It's a tall order, man. There was a lot. It's a tall order, &gt;&gt; okay? 100%. So, I knew for a fact and I put out a community post being like, "Listen, don't expect this [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] to be
smooth. [music] It is going to be a disaster." Yeah. And it's been nothing short of it 100%. So, definitely not in love with
it. It is what it is. That's just the way the cookie [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] crumble. Shadowlands pre- patch was pretty bug free on roll out, by the way. Low key, you're kind of right. I remember going to Northwind and I actually do remember
it being pretty smooth. &gt;&gt; I will say &gt;&gt; I will I'll give you that. &gt;&gt; Um still got to play it cuz cuz it's already know you would be first in line to post if you're affected by whatever
bug they took. That's crazy. She know she's pocket watching this person right here. She is pocket watching Golaris for sure. Should have seen the launch of vanilla. Oh, was anyone there on the launch of
vanilla? Wow. How rough how rough was it on a uh vanilla launch day or even TBC, enough servers &gt;&gt; for the amount of people who bought the
&gt;&gt; That's crazy. They didn't have enough copies on the shelves. &gt;&gt; I think I saw something that they were expecting to sell like,000 copies. &gt;&gt; It was bad. It was just a waiting game. Rough as [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] I was there for TCBC and
Wrath almost never you couldn't play for days at a time. Oh, could you imagine &gt;&gt; No. &gt;&gt; Do you know what would happen? Do you
know the meltdown it would be? People get pissed off if there's 2-hour &gt;&gt; Yeah. If maintenance goes over &gt;&gt; there's an emergency if there's an emergency roll out patch maintenance like, "Yo, we got to get this fixed
right now guys. Excuse it." The whole world is going to blow. &gt;&gt; Warlords of Drraanor. Yeah. Do you remember WAD's launch, bro? &gt;&gt; That was that was the worst expansion launch ever. Well, cuz they got dodoed.
were just down. &gt;&gt; Opening of garage. Oh my god. &gt;&gt; I couldn't imagine. I never take a day off from work for launch. Yeah, I would do it like 3 4 days after. I was there when they had to remove
nuts. They were down for like a week. Yikes. There's a version of WoW for because they're finding reasons to be angry instead of focusing on part of it that makes them smile in my honest opinion. You're not wrong. There's a
version of WoW for everybody. And by the way, I love the idea for everybody liking a different version of WoW. Like there's nothing wrong with that. My beef is trying to gatekeep and making people feel like [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] for liking their version.
Why is it that as a retail player I get tried by far the most than I ever had making content for, you know, either Mr. Pandaria or Cataclysm or Season of Discovery or Classic? I get tried the most about making retail content. I've
most about making retail content. I've like and it's not even close. I get called every name under the book because I just like retail. Yikes. Crazy. It was unplayable for most of the day.
It wasn't down for a week. Oh, that's true. Try writing a boss, then discovering it's mathematically impossible. [laughter] You talking about Kathun. &gt;&gt; That is [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] cooked.
That is Yeah, I don't know. That's That's pretty That's pretty rough. I'm not even going to lie to you. Holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] it's 10:05. I forgot we have a story to it's 10:05. I forgot we have a story to do. [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] me. Oh my god. Go to the story.

you know. [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] it. Um, so starting off first, uh, this story is from, uh, Shadow Spartan. Uh, remember guys, this is this whole thing is for the Blizzcon ticket giveaway winner. We will be
announcing within, uh, on the day of release of early access who wins the so if you guys are interested, let us know your story on why you love World of Warcraft. What made you fall in love with WoW? Your World of Warcraft story,
how you became to be, why it's more than just a video game to you. So, let's dive into it. Um, where is my hold on one second. I got to get this right because if not, it is not going to
go too well. Um, technically started WoW when it first came out, but I was only understand the systems of World of Warcraft. My brothers had to teach them to me to play. And when they described the warlock class, I thought that
sounded cool to have my own demon pets. So, my first character was an undead warlock. I didn't know about quests, so I was just running around killing mobs 10 before getting bored and stopped playing for a while. Then, a friend of
mine from school also got WoW and we created Night of Druids because it looked cool to transform into animals. That also didn't last long and I stopped playing [laughter] really. I skipped Burning Crusade and Wrath the
two of my friends from school told me they got into World of the Warcraft Cataclysm and said they revamped leveling so it's easier to get to max level now. I got into World of Warcraft again. I was leveling a paladin with
them and I got hooked playing this torin paladin. I was going through the horde quests throughout Calendar zones and eventually completing all of them and getting my first character to max level.
Put five here. Then I learned the next step to getting better gear was doing dungeons. I had no idea what I was doing. And when queuing up to be a tank as a retribution paladin when a group kicked me out, my friend told me I need
to switch specs and get a one-handed weapon and shield. Oh my god, he had a two-hander as a tank. Nice. &gt;&gt; Oh [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] to get the normal dungeon sets, I was
dungeons. But after doing the same dungeons 50 times, I grew bored of the raiding, that was still something I would never get to do.
Games. Thank you for follow. Appreciate the love. &gt;&gt; Mr. Pandaria had come out, so I reinstalled and continued through it experience and the quest lines in each zone, but same thing happened. I
eventually hit max level and kept doing dungeons until I had better gear, but I couldn't find a guild to take me to that next level of gearing and eventually getting to raids. I did try LFR, but I remember getting yelled at in chat for
not knowing the fight. I told them this was my first time in trying to learn the fight, but the dude told me I should just look up videos on YouTube before doing fights. I told him that's boring. I like to learn stuff in game and learn
from mistakes to make the victory that much sweeter. Some people in the group prick. [laughter] &gt;&gt; Nice. &gt;&gt; I unsubed and never came back during any major patches. Then the Warlords of
Drainer came out and once again I came back and I still leveled through it with my paladin but unsubed after completing the zones like before and the dungeons this time weren't as fun to grind so I left again. During that time, I made
friends with two UK players from Payday 2 and decided to buy a WoW EU copy in all the expansions just so I could play with them. Here, I decided to play a he's been playing as Torren Paladin, now he's playing a death knight. These two
finally taught me how to properly play WoW. They met some Danish players and wad to prepare for the upcoming expansion. And with the Legion, I then decided to swap to Demon Hunter. Like many other players, I did every quest
and was doing every world quest I saw on my map. I was always chatting with the guild and made some friends on it. Or so I thought. After a few weeks of progressing through the nightmare raid, the guild had this weird rule that if
you got &gt;&gt; Oh, wait a second, you guys. Oh [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] I don't have my animation. Guys, we just got a shirt order. By the way, let's get some comeback kid icons in the chat, dude. Dude,
because if I go over, it's going to [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] this up. Come back. Hit icons in the chat, guys. Show some love, dude. Big community orders, guys. I'm telling you, we only have a limited amount of these shirts, and I hate to be the guy. Oh, I
to be that guy. We've already sold like 33% of them. Like, literally, the prints are like a third done already. So,
limited limited drop. Once they're done, they're done. I can't help you. The limited drop is here. So, if you want to check the link, get in there. Let's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Oh, let me let me send you guys the link really quick just in case. Uh,
just sold another one. Promise you guys won't be disappointed. Show some love. Show some love. Um, let's continue.
progressing through the raid, a piece for me finally dropped. I won the role. I won the Vaxis. Damn you, Voxus. Damn you, Vox. I need to read the story then.
raid. They first said I couldn't have it because I got a legendary that week. Oh gear, I told them they already had that piece. So, can I please have my gear? Suddenly they said, "Well, if they don't need it, then they'll just disenchant
it." What the hell? He asked them why it's an upgrade for me. Isn't that the first place? They told me I was being selfish because this will help go towards their enchanting other people's gear, which will overall increase
everyone's power. I felt so demoralized. It felt like the guild didn't care about the middle finger by taking gear that couldn't go to me, but rather disenchant it to create enchantments for their gear. and they had the nerve to call me
selfish. Holy [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] &gt;&gt; that's crazy. &gt;&gt; I left the group, the guild, and I stopped playing WoW. Later on, the tomb playing through the new content and gave a half apology to my friend and asked
about being invited back into the guild. He let me back in, but I saw it was mostly empty. All those Danish players left to form their own guild. It was clear they were the problem and formed a click group where only they mattered. I
all the quests, then stopped playing, then waited months later for the Argus patch and came back again to do that content, including the mage tower. knight, but I didn't like it as much, so I used my level boost on a new warrior I
I used my level boost on a new warrior I named Warar. Yeah. Oh, you're Warmar. [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] pumped in that midnight raid, bro. Wait a sec. Or not the midnight raid. Uh, [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Oh my god. &gt;&gt; Man, man. Yo, he was blasting week one.
What the hell? And ever since I played Warar from here on out, that's crazy. I warrior and death knight earning the hidden artifact appearances. Around this time, I was also playing PUBG and met series of players that introduced me to
named Dorcasaurus. He was really nice guy and found out he plays WoW and is also in a guild. So, I asked to join and they helped teach me and the keystone warrior to be ready for heroic and taurus. On the last week of Legion
before BFA pre- patch came out, we barely defeated Argus. This was incredible for me. My first time getting an AOTC. I felt like I beat the Legion expansion. All the work I put into playing it. Finally, an achievement
forever on my account to show I was able to beat a heroic raid. Then BFA came out and I had a lot of fun. The guild was great and friendly for the most part. tough for me since at the time I worked from a 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. So, by the time
were offline or didn't feel like doing more keys that night. I either got lucky looking for a group, but my rating score was low at the time and I waited too long to build that score up. However, the first raid we beat on normal within
the second to last boss on heroic and couldn't defeat him by the time of the next major patch. Then we hit an even bigger wall. We could not get past the was people weren't doing enough
keystones and getting gear. I was one of them. And so try I tried to speak up elites of the guild tried telling me to just do more mythic keystones. I tried help us out then? stopped telling us to just do it because I've already
mentioned that I can only do it on the weekends or in the mornings, but none of you are willing to help me or others when we ask for help to just do one. I wasn't in trouble, but I could tell I made some group of friends upset. And
after that, most people didn't want to talk or help me. Let me speed it up a little here. The few friends I had in the guild, we tried there was two different groups of friends within the guild. And shortly
after, people started quitting the guild. I even quit the guild and went with my group of friends and we joined a different guild called Disturbed. This is when I grinded my ass off to get the best gear I could from keystones. I was
driven to be one of the highest DPS of the group. One of my friends was able to help me get AOTC Queen Ajara right before the final major patch of BFA. I grinded that season focused on mythic keystones and was there almost every
Eventually, we were all able to beat heroic N'oth and even have a video of the kill on my YouTube channel. Damn, that's crazy. We almost wiped but barely screaming with excitement. Later into the next major patch, I did everything
entire season to get the best gear in every slot. And toward the end of the season, I was able to find pug raid groups and progress through the raid. they even invited me back a second time
to progress with them. Oh no, my animation's done. Oh [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] No animation. Now I need to click part two cuz yes, there's part two on this. Hold
on, guys. Yo, listen. We're out here. All right, everyone. Chill out, dude. Get part two up. Time to progress with them to Sylvanas. After about 10 attempts, we finally be here and got AOTC. I felt great being able to get
AOTC on my own. It wasn't easy finding random groups. Sometimes it took like 30 minutes to an hour just to find a group. And sometimes 30 minutes into the quit. So, it's back to searching for another group. Yeah, that's the pain of
you so much for the follow. Appreciate. Hello. Huge fall. Oh, baby. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. &gt;&gt; I did the same thing, but this time was trying to set get AOTC. I felt burnt
elitist. I would spend hours looking for to find out the group doesn't know the raid. I would rage out after one wipe and quit. &gt;&gt; He's become full circle.
&gt;&gt; The elitist used to kick him out for not doing good enough. Now &gt;&gt; he's become the elitist. &gt;&gt; Become what you hate. &gt;&gt; You dirty dog. You became the evil empire.
playing WoW. Dragonfly expansion was the same story. I played all the zones, did and tried to find a ray route for Hero ATC, but I couldn't find a group, so I stopped again. I never came back for season 2, but I came back for season 3.
And this time was able to find a new guild and able to raid and get AOTC. will never come back to it. However, new expansion was coming, and for whatever reason, WoW always brings me back. I came back and did the same thing. played
quests and zones, grinding my ass off through keystones until I had almost Then I realized I don't need to kill all the bosses on heroic to get AOTC. I just need to kill the last boss on heroic. [music] So each day I would hop on and
wait for a group looking for DPS on the last boss. Eventually, I found a group and after a few attempts, we were able to defeat the giant spider queen answer. was winging it and learning the fight on each attempt and lied to the group about
knowing the fight. That's [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] crazy. I felt great getting AOTC again. Like I beat WoW and left again. But even when season 2 came, I didn't come back at first. Most of the season went by, but eventually I heard season 3 was coming.
haste, I was able to mythic keystone my way to gear Warmarire back up and I found a guild to help me get AOTC Giwix. Now, this is when I stumbled upon a little channel called the Comeback Kids. I like the videos they had, and when
figured why not give it a try. Ever since then, I have enjoyed my time with the guild. Haven't had any drama with anybody, and as a guil and as a guild was able to beat Demensius for ahead of the curve. I even helped some new
Everyone except me died on the final boss, but I was able to solo the boss to Then I explained to them the mechanics of the fight so next time they know what Now comes the new expansion. I'm looking forward to the new quest to complete and
grinding out keystones again. But most importantly though, the reason for me coming back to WoW isn't the community. And now more than ever, it's to come back and raid with the comeback kids. Hopefully this time with more guild
mates. And that is my World of Warcraft story. Dang, that is pretty sick, dude. What? Yo, what a way to come full circle. That was a great story. You know, he was
scared to get into group content [music] entirely. Then he got into it a little bit, then got scared off because of the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Danish cult they had in that [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] guild that was like all up on him, hating on him. Then he was like,
"Fuck it." In spite of them, I'm just going to get nasty gear and get really good to show them what the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] is up. Then he did it. Got AOTC. And then he became an AOTC. Like he's addicted to trying to get AOTC now. He's
can't not try to get. &gt;&gt; What a legend. &gt;&gt; To the point where it consumed him. &gt;&gt; I love that. That's what the [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] I'm talking about. Yo guys, can I get some hearts in the chat? Hearts in the chat
for Warar aka Shadow Spartan. Show some love, guys, to your fellow community love, guys, to your fellow community member, man. Uh we also do have one more story. Shout out to uh Warar. The second one actually goes to Helix. Oh [&nbsp;__&nbsp;]
Helix in chat right now. By the way, shout out to Helix or Helix. One of you. pronounce the name, but he is in chat right here right now. So, let's get this one going as well. Um, let me open this bad boy up. Okay. Hello, Lance. Ryan
Helix here. I gotcha. Let me put this up. [laughter] The first time I started playing WoW was nothing special. My dad, brother, and I remember watching a TV commercial with Mr. T and his night elf mohawk [music]
believe my first character that I made was a human paladin on on the undermine server, but it was not my first main though. That would be a dwarf death playing around the Cataclysm release, and I remember sitting in Stormwind in
if anyone was recruiting for their guild. Little did I know that the next message I would receive would start my WoW journey and help me through my rough teenage years. I was around 14 at the beginning of Cataclysm. The guild
leader, her name was Jen, and her backup was Chad. I played with Chad and Jen them to the point where they were like my WoW mom and dad. They practically raised me because I was on WoW every day after school and and all night long on
the weekends. We used to run dungeons together and do our Cataclysm storyline quest together. We were never a big guild. We had about 20 to 30 members, so we never got a chance to really raid endgame content
together unless it was a pug or LFR. However, the most fun I had was when we went to the old raids such as old and we took our time. We had fun and just enjoyed the game. It would take us about 6 to 8 hours to do old because we would
stop between fights, look up lore about different mobs, talk about random together. That's epic. &gt;&gt; That's so cool. &gt;&gt; That is [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] awesome. We then tried to do some Firelands on normal mode, and
that was fun and entertaining. I remember fighting Shinox, and I was the last one alive. The survivability on Blood DK at that time was crazy. I was able to keep myself alive and finish Shinox off by myself. That made me fall
Shinox off by myself. That made me fall in love with my DK even more. To my 14-year-old mind, I was unkillable. I had just soloed a raid boss for five herbalist at the time and planting my little healing flowers, using my
cooldowns and blood leech effects to keep me going. Chad and Jed I will never forget. I still talk to Chad, but not as often as before. I've gotten older. I had kids and do not play like I used to or like I would love to. I've not played
after finishing the storyline and campaign. At the time, my my wife barely let me play, so I just quit. WoW. However, I have been watching every midnight video that I can. Every time you all go live on YouTube, I either
watch it or catch it at work and find myself smiling. I'm so happy with where housing since I began playing in Cataclysm. I cannot wait to get back on, make my troll druid, and engage not only in the World of Warcraft, but in the
community. I believe it is the community that is the most important part. Sure, it could be toxic at times, but it's also rewarding, entertaining, and it my opinion, are amazing compared to
EverQuest, my first love. The gameplay and story are on another level. I love going on transmog runs to older raids, farming transmogs and titles. I'm not a big raider only because I don't have the time, but I love doing dungeons,
just sitting in the main city whenever I'm being with friends. P.S. My fiance I'm being with friends. P.S. My fiance now also willing willing to try WoW. Fingers crossed with love, Elix. [snorts]
Dang, guys. Show some love to Helix, man. Listen, you got us at work right now.
stories and seeing how people go through, you know, and that's what like breaks my mind so much. Like, what makes an MMO truly special to me, man,
is the fact that everybody can enjoy it in such a vastly just different way. like there's so many avenues and ways to love World of Warcraft and and just
enjoy it. He doesn't even rave. He doesn't even really do current content. He just loves being a part of the community, hanging out and chatting with people. Like, well, it's also it's like uh Ian said recently in that interview.
It's like, listen, we would love to make the game for one type of player and only the game for one type of player and only focus on them. But unfortunately, there's 50 different ways that you could enjoy World of Warcraft, and we have to
try to please all of those different types of players. Yeah. So, it's like &gt;&gt; Sometimes the thing you do doesn't get that much of attention, but they're trying to please a lot of people, and I think they do a pretty good job. pack.
&gt;&gt; Oh, crash. Donated with the two guys. Show some love. Come back kid icons for the donation. Show some love. Uh, where's the cut off? [laughter] Where's the cut off tanks? Yo, listen. If you want a special order cut off
tank, I'll do it for you guys. You just got to you got to put in a special note. Let me know. [music] I'll cut it myself for you. If you really want it cut, I'll do it. No problem. I'll probably make it not so like open of a cut. I'll make it

bless. As someone who's new to CBK, how did it start? [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Um, come back kids. Me and Lance have always loved World of Warcraft. We've always thought and dreamed of being content creators. Um, you want to tell them how the name
Comeback Kids came to be? &gt;&gt; Well, as we were doing a brainstorming session, we were thinking, man, it must have been, man, it was days of going back and forth on what the name should be.
And then we kind of came up with the name before we heard this song and we were kind of like on the fence about it, but then we heard the song from the midnight, the comeback kid, and that kind of
solidified it for us. [cough] If you don't know the song, it's a great song. Um, that really solidified it for us. And then that's kind of like how the brand of the comeback is like the neon
retro wave synth wave &gt;&gt; style came about. Long story short, Um, what's really important to remember about the comeback kids is it's not just one person. It's not just Sky or Lance. It's not just some YouTubers making
It's not just some YouTubers making videos. It's a brand. It's a community. And it's just it's a sentiment of of I guess thoughts guess thoughts and your mind moving forward in life.
Meaning that it's going to sound really corny, but no matter what like age you're at, no matter how down you are, no matter, you know, how bad things may look, never forget it's never too late to make a comeback and do what you want
to do either in life and reach your goals. Whether it's getting healthy and reaching the weight goal or reaching that job promotion or doing something on your own or trying something you never done or being with the girl of your
it's never too late for a comeback to make things happen and and to just push forward and to just make the dream come true. It's never ever ever too late. You think it, you want hard enough, you dream of it, you you go all out for it.
I promise you can obtain it. I'm a goofy kid from freaking Florida, man. And you reality. Shout out to Lance. &gt;&gt; Yeah. I mean, exactly what he said. Um,
life beats everyone up and everyone has a tough everyone has their own story that's tough, right? Like we've all gone through [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] but at the end of the day, You can always come back, make it happen. You can make it happen. Shout
out Gino, by the way. &gt;&gt; Shout out Gino. Hope uh hope Don't think I forgot about that. How did each of you find each other and where did y'all start? Well, it's very funny coincidence. I found him for some reason
house. &gt;&gt; Crazy. brother, believe it or not. &gt;&gt; What are you doing in my Like I remember you when you were born. I was like, "Oh, get this kid out of here. I hate this
&gt;&gt; Damn it." &gt;&gt; No. Yeah. We're We're brothers. Um &gt;&gt; And we are 10 months apart. &gt;&gt; Yep. That's true. And we're here and we're rocking and we're rolling. Lance
