[08:04] Need target to target. Edit mode. That's good. There we go.

[08:17] Main place could come. Oh my gosh, bro, my threat is insane. Yo, guys. Yo, Mr. Tank. Who's tanking? Our tank is completely, completely new to the game.

[11:50] Crazy stuff. Yeah, we need to get in some duels in a second here, too. Threat meter? I don't even think we need a threat meter. I already know I'm on top of threat because we're getting owned.

[12:05] Will there be arenas? No clue. How many quest slots? Uh, 40! 40 quest slots. I don't have a target. No wrath anniversary? We haven't heard of anything about wrath yet.

[12:22] Any arena tab? Negative. Legacy system where? It's called Legacy. It's a new system. Legacy points. It seems similar to achievements, but not, but kinda.

[12:35] Kind of like achievements or something. Bro, bro, bro, bro, I just pulled threat instantly.

[12:50] Yeah I need a proc indicator spell indicators Okay don worry guys I handle this one Whoa whoa dude I dead I dead I have to shoot this or I'm dead.

[13:19] Yo, my damage is dumb, though.

[13:33] In a good way. My Thresh is also dumb. Bruh.

[13:47] Focus target? Yeah, focus targets actually do exist. I haven't set that up yet, though. Okay, guys. I mean...

[13:59] Do I have the threat challenge? Minus threat? Let's keep looking here. Yeah, 30% less threat right there. Let me see if Savix has salves.

[14:12] Do you have salves? Do you have salves? Let me ask him. Dungeon map? No dungeon map. What the fuck is this?

[14:24] Overlay? Spell? What's this spell alert thing called? Maybe they don't have it.

[14:38] Maybe you need a weak aura. Arachnophobia mode? Oh, thank goodness.

[14:56] Oh! I just did click Link! Okay, we sheep one, rank my frostbolt on another, and we're dialing.

[15:08] Who pulled, man? Who pulled? Oh, we got south now. We got south now. Now we're dialed.

[15:24] Maze of healing. 53 healing done. 14 intellect. That can't be... That can't be right. 53?

[15:36] That cannot be right. That can't be right. That's way too much. Because scaling will get out of hand.

[15:48] That can't be right. That has to be a typo. There's no way.

[16:01] Oh, I don't know if the car gets out. Target.

[16:27] Target. Target nearest enemy. That's going to help. That is going to help. Okay, first boss. First boss, hold! First boss, hold!

[16:39] I'm oom. Yo, want to buy drinks, man? No, I'm going to say a wand. They didn't even wait for me to drink.

[17:03] It's time for a little vlog! Eh, I think this is fine. I'm like oomed out, but we're actually getting some frogs here.

[17:15] Savage is going to die? Nope. Maybe the fun. Alright. Oh! Oh! Okay. Stamina strength. Health per five. I might need that.

[17:30] Uh, I can't control click to see what it looks like. Kind of serious. The Trown City, baby!

[17:42] Here we go. I'm umed out. I'm umed out. I'm umed out. Oh, we have a man upon the bags, if we ever need that.

[17:57] I just made a gem, I thought. Y'all one sec guys, I'm drinking. I'm super um here

[18:11] Y'all give me a sec guys. I'm drinking. I'm super um here That I don't have arcane explosion on my bars clicking it here. Here we go

[18:36] Uhhhh, okay. Twilight Armor of the Eagle. Mmm, let's see mine. Oh, 17 minutes left for the timer, good call. I'll need to call someone over and get the timer off. Mage is for sure

[18:55] gonna be the most OP class. Oh, don't judge it based on this, because I just have like a high level of skill being displayed, but we'll see, we'll see like in the broad scheme the thing once everything's kind of evened out.

[19:23] Oh I am here for damage Dude Yeah, Marv, bro. Thanks for the prize.

[19:36] I got the damage meter on current. Good call. Yo, Shark. Yo. Shark. I'm a little afraid of sharks, we might need to go around on that one.

[19:50] Wow.

[20:08] Dude, my threat is just... Arcane threat is, like, not figured out or something. Yeah. Either kind of...

[20:20] Yeah, my threat is like just not... Holy crap. Okay, there we go.

[20:32] Is there a dungeon map? No. Is there a dual spec? Yes, it looks like there is. Did he turn off retail cash bar?

[20:45] I don't think so, which that kind of sucks. I don't like the retail cash bar, so hopefully they do something there.

[21:05] I didn't see the announcement where you have to pay for the new race, but obviously I don't like that either. I don't know what that's about. Press edit, then right-click cash bar. I already tried it. It doesn't work. you don't have blizzard

[21:18] uh I do have blizzard but I'm an arcane mage so haven't been using too much

[21:34] not the raids uh highborn raids No, it's a man.

[21:55] Oh, who pulled? Who pulled? Who pulled? Oh, crap. That fear is brutal.

[22:10] Dude. It just... Okay. Bro, look at the meat. It's like, wait, we're pumping too hard. I need to do less damage. That's the problem.

[22:24] I need to do way less damage. Like, that is... That is crazy. That is absolutely nuts.

[22:36] Mount up? I'm not level 40. No target markers? True. Whoa. That looks weird.

[22:49] Focus. Edit mode. Larger focus. Graphic Settings Pro?

[23:07] Yeah, I checked them. Is this WoW Forever? That's what it's called. I can't believe they went with WoW Forever. I'm trying to think what I think. I think I heard Holly call it Classic Plus anyway.

[23:22] It's kind of crazy. All right, we're back.

[23:57] We're back, we're back. Dive, uh, thank you, everyone.

[24:10] Yeah, I turned Transmog off, and I have the old character models, but I feel like I definitely, definitely, definitely would like classic unit frames, classic cast bar.

[24:22] Like, those two things would be massive. I think the action bars look great. I think the mini map looks solid. I like that I have my OG undead character on the models. I like that it's not bouncy. I like that they fixed the animations.

[24:36] I want my OG like, unit frames, you know what I'm saying? Mainplate unit frames. Nah, mages are weak ATM.

[24:54] Gavix is calling for Mage nerfs. This is repulsing the meters, Dev. I don't know.

[25:06] I do not think mages need nerfs. If anything, they need, like, buffs. Oh my gosh, they LBT'd.

[25:19] Oh my gosh. I'm in here alone. Guys! Hey, I did not miss that cone of cold.

[25:34] That must be a bug. Actually, no. That's absolutely a bug that I missed that cone of cold. Yeah. Definitely need to fix that. Yep.

[25:46] It's all good, though. I got it.
