00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome to episode one eleven of the POTTYC. That's right,

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>this week Fronc has to do the least finger movement

3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>in a while to create the episode title, so big

4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.599
<v Speaker 1>congratulations to him. This week we have We've just had

5
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.359
<v Speaker 1>rain testing for Venomous Abyss, which actually the first time

6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>in like three patches that I've actually been able to

7
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>make it to raid testing because the last two have

8
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>been super unfortunate times, so I actually have more more

9
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>grounding than usual in what the fights look like. But

10
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.799
<v Speaker 1>before then, we have an add on Drama News sad news.

11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Like I say drama, but it's like it's you know, sad,

12
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>which is unholted raidframes. I don't know if either of

13
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>you guys were unhlted raid frames Enjoyers have halted development

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>due to abuse and harassment. Here's the wowhead post on

15
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 1>that you've seen this your user?

16
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was a user until Ellesmere. What happened? This

17
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 2>was the goal to during that on Verge.

18
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's one of like several add ons that popped

19
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>up in the past year and then popped down soon after.

20
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I remember there was like a nephew I was another

21
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>one of these, right, whereas like the add on purge

22
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>is happening, some new people kind of throw their hats

23
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>into the add on dev ring and then people they

24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of got a taste of, like how uh toxic

25
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>the you know discourse in the community can be around it? Yeah,

26
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>and then they're out of there. So in this case

27
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>it was unholted rade frames. They pushed a large update

28
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 1>that added party in raid frames, indicated from ready checks

29
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and threat and more requested features. Unfortunately, this update also

30
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 1>caused several unintended problems breaking core out On functionality, resulting

31
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in a daly uge of irate comments from its user

32
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>base on the project page, discords, dms, and other social spheres.

33
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Several hours later, the creator announced over discord the add

34
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 1>on would cease development entirely in direct response to the

35
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>hatred and abuse received throughout the day. The author further

36
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>reminded users that out On Dev's work on projects of

37
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 1>passion and no one should be subjected to abuse or

38
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>harassment for creating add ons, posing with a final request

39
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to be kinder to one another, I think a very

40
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>understandable yep, you know the response to yeah, it's like

41
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 1>it's on the one head, you know, obviously everybody's good.

42
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>People are going to be mad when you but something breaks,

43
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, functionality that they're used to. We can see

44
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that with a wow patch. But on the other hand,

45
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 1>add On does in particular are basically just doing this

46
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>for free or for you know, pennies, And.

47
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I remember this happened. Something similar happened to this

48
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 3>in a class discord actually, where like I think there

49
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>was like an issue with the shadow pre sim or

50
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 3>something like many uses in Shadowlands, where like basically this

51
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 3>person had it wrong and people had picked a covenant

52
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>and then the covenant ended up changing, and then I

53
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 3>just remember there was a barrage of like fuck you,

54
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Like obviously these people are doing it as a as

55
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 3>like a passion thing, and like obviously it can affect

56
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 3>people in a negative way, but like they're not getting

57
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 3>paid for it, and they get like a ton of

58
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 3>hate when stuff doesn't work. Obviously it's usually directed at

59
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Blizzard if it's like, oh, they released a buggy patch

60
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 3>or whatever and that made this stuff not work, but like, oh,

61
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 3>it's actually on the out on developer, and I have

62
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 3>heard some sentiment as to like, oh, that guy just

63
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 3>couldn't take the heat. It's like well maybe, but also

64
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 3>if someone's just doing something in their spare time because

65
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 3>they want to for fun, just like a little side project,

66
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 3>and that also comes with the side effect of people

67
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 3>fucking yelling at you, which sucks, you might be like, well,

68
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 3>you know what, it actually turns out it's not worth

69
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 3>it for me to do this, So it's like totally valid.

70
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>It like makes complete sense to me why they would

71
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>do that. And yeah, maybe think before you start slandering people.

72
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Some people are just not built for as shit. It's

73
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>just like the quasi ui situation. He was literally there

74
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>for a moment and suddenly he's gone.

75
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's not some people. I want to say,

76
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 3>most people I'm just gonna throw I don't think. I

77
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>don't think. I don't think there's most people that are

78
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 3>like able to handle. And I don't even know how

79
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 3>many times in people's lives anyone even on average, like

80
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 3>even deals with thousands of people being mad at them

81
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 3>on the internet. But like, I don't know how many

82
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>people are actually built to handle that. It's like really hard.

83
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

84
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I think streamers sometimes go through that, it's like a

85
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 3>more common thing. But land like certainly the game developers,

86
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 3>right but I don't think it's like it's like, oh,

87
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 3>like you should be built for this, and you're fucked

88
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>up if you're not. Like, I don't think like anyone's

89
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>built for that. Honestly, it's like something that people will

90
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 3>end up like learning to live with. I guess if

91
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 3>it ends up being in the career path you're doing.

92
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 3>But like if it's not even your career path, it's

93
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 3>just like a little side thing, like why the fuck

94
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 3>would you ever subject yourself to that? It totally makes

95
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>sense for him to back out, well a.

96
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Bit of a tangent, but Titles made a new video

97
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about how he thinks about it, Like you was

98
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>just like an opinion piece about how he feels about

99
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>loot nowadays in the world of warl craft. People were

100
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>fucking shitting on him. They were absolutely relentless people. He

101
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>was just like, this is just an opinion. Uh. He

102
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>basically said, like how loot and gearing in world war

103
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 2>craft is just like unfulfilling and it just like feels

104
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>bad right now and there needs to be like a

105
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>better solution is I want to understand it. Heal with you.

106
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to be fair, I didn't like actively listen

107
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>to his video. I kind of just like had to

108
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>play in the mark ground and.

109
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Very few people can do that, you know.

110
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wonder if he actually had a bad take,

111
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 3>because Tottles has this thing where like I don't even

112
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 3>really know when this started, Like there's certainly some moon

113
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 3>can hate, and I'm sure he's had some some stinker

114
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>takes over the years. Who who amongst us hasn't right, uh,

115
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 3>but he has this thing about him where like he

116
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 3>starts speaking and people are just like, oh this guy again, I.

117
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Don't really know where that's just giving his opinion too,

118
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 2>like you know, he's not saying like this is a bible,

119
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>like this is how it should be.

120
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well sometimes people people have been getting up in

121
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 3>arms about that kind of shit for years though, where

122
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 3>where they'll be like, yeah, well you you have the

123
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 3>comeback of like well I'm just they're getting mad at you,

124
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 3>and you're like, well, I'm just a streamer. I'm just

125
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 3>like I'm just saying my opinion, like and then like,

126
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 3>well people listen to you, so you can't have fucking

127
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 3>bad opinions. Blizzard makes the game off of what.

128
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 2>You're like a politician.

129
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's tough because, like I love making

130
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 1>fun of tittles. Over the years, there have been so

131
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 1>many stupid things he said, and it sucks because I

132
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>can't say like half of the mean things I want

133
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to say about him because everybody else is like means

134
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 1>it when they say it sometimes, So now I don't

135
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>get to I don't get to roast him as much

136
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 1>as I'd like to. So it's really tough out there.

137
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I wish people would stop being mean, like stop hogging

138
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>all of the being means tittles so that I can

139
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>do more of it. Please. It's a really unfair that's valid, Yeah,

140
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it is, like I think it's something that almost everybody

141
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>would be surprised by. We've talked about this before in

142
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the context of content creation there whereas like if a

143
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of people are like actively being nasty towards you,

144
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 1>it's like, it doesn't you don't if you're just watching

145
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>that dynamic from the outside, it doesn't, it will you

146
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>will not understand like the psychic damage that does to

147
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>almost everybody upon like being on the receiving end of that.

148
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>There's like, no, it's it's just as an unreasonable you know,

149
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 1>percent more multiplier, more than you would expect for how

150
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>much that like lives rent free in your head. For

151
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 1>most people, some people are able to you know, get

152
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>past it. Other people are just like randomly immune to

153
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 1>it or inured to it already. But for the most part,

154
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 1>like if you just took an average human off the

155
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 1>street and then had them read like ten mean comments

156
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 1>about them, that would ruin their week, month, year potential,

157
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Like it's it is a tough situation to be put into,

158
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:49.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's one that if you're not ever on the

159
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 1>other side of it, you just won't appreciate because you

160
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're just doing a regular job, like

161
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you will not be put in that position pretty much. Ever,

162
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>So I have a lot of a lot of empathy

163
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>for out on developers that find themselves whenever you find

164
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>this yourself is like the main character of an add

165
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>on you know, situation for the day or something like that,

166
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you're gonna attract just an amount of you know, criticism,

167
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and even if it's like ninety percent fair criticism being

168
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>posted without malice, the ten percent that is like over

169
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 1>the line kind of infects the rest of it.

170
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, So let's let's make a

171
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 3>verdict on ourselves. Let's let what does anyone know what

172
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 3>he actually argued? Like maybe we could even hear like

173
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 3>a like a snippet of it or the Tedtle's got

174
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 3>no I'm trying to basically see, like like let's make

175
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 3>a educated like is him getting backlash for this warranted?

176
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Because like, you know, it's also possible Tedtles said some

177
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 3>really fucking dumb and people are mad, you know, but

178
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 3>like it's it's also possible that people are mad for

179
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 3>no reason and he did nothing wrong. But if no

180
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 3>one listened to it, then what can we do?

181
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I who listened to it?

182
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Now?

183
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it'd be crazy.

184
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 3>I wonder how many people that are mad at him

185
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 3>also didn't listen to it and they just saw other

186
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 3>people mad at him and they were like, here we

187
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 3>fucking go again. Fuck him, he's wrong.

188
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Or you just listen to the first thirty seconds

189
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, base you extrapolate what the next

190
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 1>probably yeah, based on that, Or you just rock summarized

191
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>this video for me and write a witty roast of it.

192
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>There are occasionally moments where people have no idea what

193
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the video is actually saying, and they'll just be like

194
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 2>very upset because of that. But yeah, I mean I

195
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 2>can't really say what happened exactly in that video because

196
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know myself, and it was one of

197
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the comments was like I've never disked the vide year before,

198
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>but I had to here.

199
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that sounds like, yeah, I don't know that, like

200
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 1>in the context of a delusion negative comments that one

201
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you know is another one of them, but also like

202
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 1>by itself, it's kind of a you know, just the

203
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>person expressing a take seems fair.

204
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's I saw this fear.

205
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. I looked at the comments there.

206
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>It looked like there weren't I suspect he's been, you know,

207
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>pruning the worst of them, which is good take. By

208
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the way, people, if you ever get mad at somebody

209
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 1>for like censoring the comments on their video when they're

210
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>just taking out the you know, the meanest ones it is,

211
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 1>you got to do that. Otherwise the ratio just gets

212
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>worse and worse, and like nobody reasonable stays in your

213
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>comment section. So yeah, that's not like fleeing from it

214
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>or anything.

215
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Dude. So going back to the I don't on discussion,

216
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>there is one thing that really annoys me about something

217
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 2>that I don't developers do. It's when they push a

218
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>feature that you want to be optional. I know a

219
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of ad On developers that have done this, one

220
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>of them being big wigs, like Bro, they added the

221
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 2>thing where they have nameplates on the mobs, you know,

222
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the name play cool downs. This was like back in

223
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Dragonflame maybe or maybe shadow Lands, and it's like, yeah,

224
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's a great feature, right, Like it's nice

225
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>to have nameplates on mobs, Like you want to be

226
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>able to see the cool downs on the on the

227
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>abilities from the mobs. But when I already had Marror's's

228
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>nameplate week or at a time and I couldn't disable

229
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the big wigs option, it was like, actually so annoying.

230
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>It's like, Bro, I'm trying to use your add on

231
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're just trying to like force this down my throat,

232
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Like please.

233
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I actually think there's a I could like correlate

234
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>this to how we deal with players sometimes. So we

235
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 3>when we're coming up with like new tech during the race,

236
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 3>we used to always push it with everything on, with

237
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>the idea that hey, if the players don't want it,

238
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 3>they can just disable it right now. Players a lot

239
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 3>of times didn't like this because like there are one

240
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>hundred pulls into a hard boss, two hundred pulls, they

241
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 3>reload next pull, and now there's this thing that is

242
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of their screen and they're like, what

243
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 3>the fuck, Like, what's going on here? Right? So now

244
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 3>we have swapped it back to where we do not

245
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 3>give them stuff right away and they have to manually

246
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 3>enable everything. What happens there is people actually end up

247
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 3>not using a lot of tech that's very very good

248
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 3>and they would use if they enabled it or if

249
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 3>they had it given to them, but they didn't because

250
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 3>like of the process of having to choose to manually

251
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>turn something on. So if I'm going to fight, I

252
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>also agree with you that has also made me mad

253
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 3>in the past. But if I'm going to fight the

254
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 3>battle for uh the ad on developers and also the

255
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 3>end of that story is now what we do is

256
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 3>we have to make judgment calls as officers as to

257
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.840
<v Speaker 3>like we try to know what is the stuff we

258
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 3>have that's actually really fucking good, and we do make

259
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 3>those on by default. So it's not like all or

260
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 3>nothing in either direction. It is like manually some of

261
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 3>these things are we think are really important, and we're

262
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 3>forcing you to have them, and they're going to be

263
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 3>default on and some of them are optional based on

264
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 3>role and stuff like that. Okay, if you're an ad

265
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 3>On developer and you come up with a really cool

266
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 3>feature and you make it not on by default, I

267
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 3>bet if they look at the number. I don't know

268
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.639
<v Speaker 3>if they have numbers on this stuff, but like, I'm

269
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 3>gonna guess that even if it's an amazing feature that

270
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 3>makes your ad On better, that's going to keep people

271
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.799
<v Speaker 3>downloading it if you don't enable it automatically. Like I'm

272
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 3>just going to make up a number like ninety five

273
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 3>percent of people are never going to actually do the

274
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 3>research to know that that is now available and will

275
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 3>never even try it. So they would rather kind of

276
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 3>using the example with our raiders, they would rather put

277
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 3>it in your face and say hey, I don't want it,

278
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.639
<v Speaker 3>and disable it and at least let you know that

279
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 3>it's there. Then like just basically put it as an

280
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 3>option where they know that no one's going to click

281
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 3>on it, and they spend time on it and want

282
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 3>people to use it.

283
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I think no, I'll think you're understand what I'm saying.

284
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 2>So it wasn't a one of those like, oh, you know,

285
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>here's a cool future of that we're gonna enable by default.

286
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>It was one of those you're not allowed to turn

287
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.279
<v Speaker 2>off our feature, Like they added the name play thing

288
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.559
<v Speaker 2>and you were not allowed to turn it off. There

289
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.360
<v Speaker 2>was like no option to turn off whatsoever. If you

290
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 2>want to turn it off, you have to not use

291
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that ad on, Like it's either you take it or

292
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>you leave it. And yeah, if you're a bunch of

293
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>people who complain about it on the big wigs discord

294
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>and the guy got so butt heard that he ended

295
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.039
<v Speaker 2>up banning a bunch of people saying how like, look,

296
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.519
<v Speaker 2>you have to use it. If you don't use it,

297
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>then don't use my had on how about that, which

298
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>was like that's kind of cringe behavior, like I'm not

299
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna lie, especially from such a big ADAM developer, where

300
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>it's like you want to use the very add on

301
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 2>because you've been using it for so many years.

302
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the the perspective is like, you know, it's

303
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, and then it's like you get backed into

304
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a corner where and now like four hundred annoying people

305
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>are dming you about it, and you know obviously you

306
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't get defensive, but you know, you should just realize that,

307
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, you should just make it optional, right. But

308
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 1>like at that point, it's you're reacting emotionally.

309
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and exactly you're you, maybe for the first time ever,

310
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 3>are reacting to a large crowd of people being mad

311
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.279
<v Speaker 3>at you, and it's ramping, you know, and people are

312
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 3>just gonna have different reactions to that. Sometimes people are

313
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 3>gonna have their wires get crossed and they're gonna fucking

314
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.960
<v Speaker 3>fight back, you know. And I don't know is many

315
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 3>people that are gonna shoot on them for that. I

316
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know how many of you would not do the same, maybe,

317
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, because it's just hard to put yourself in

318
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 3>that position of just like you open up discord, which

319
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.320
<v Speaker 3>is normally for you like a cool place to talk

320
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 3>to other people that enjoy your add on and maybe

321
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.480
<v Speaker 3>give some feedback, and you open it and they're like,

322
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 3>you suck, fuck you, why did you do this? And

323
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>that's it's just hard. Man.

324
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>You could even see like relatively normal people becoming class

325
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Discord moderators and then see how they react to not

326
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>even something negative, but literally just to the same question

327
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 1>being asked five times in a day. It's like, is

328
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>there something you know wrong with people that would choose

329
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 1>to become a class discord admin. Maybe, but the percentage

330
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:07.679
<v Speaker 1>of them that become like just unhingedly you know, infuriated

331
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>by people asking the same question over and over again

332
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 1>should go to show that, like, it's actually a surprisingly

333
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>annoying thing that you wouldn't guess if you hadn't been

334
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 1>on the other end of it. And that's not even

335
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>like negative right when you change that to like people

336
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.759
<v Speaker 1>being negative about your add on change that you clearly

337
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.399
<v Speaker 1>think is a good idea, good enough that you don't

338
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>even consider that not everybody might not want it turned

339
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 1>on right. And also you've you know, you've just like

340
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 1>updated it right, and yeah, I don't know. I Again,

341
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to say it's not a mistake. I'm

342
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 1>just trying to say it's a as one of those

343
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>things where the reaction that people will have to, especially

344
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 1>again when they're like basically volunteers working on these add ons,

345
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>is is it's going to look surprising from the outside.

346
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's not surprising to me that people, uh people

347
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.639
<v Speaker 1>get as you know, upset as they do about it. Obviously,

348
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 1>they shouldn't if they can, but yeah, I try and

349
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>extend them a little bit of a benefit of the

350
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>doubt when possible. But yeah, I've also I have seen

351
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that other thing actually you were talking about, where it's

352
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 1>like if you push a feature and you don't actually

353
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.759
<v Speaker 1>like like you can push a feature, you can put

354
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it in the notes of that you can like make

355
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 1>a shiny little pop up when you first log in

356
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.319
<v Speaker 1>that's like, hey, my add on now has this new functionality.

357
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 1>And I have seen I don't remember exactly what it was,

358
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>but I remember a couple of weeks ago I saw

359
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody like rudely asking on Twitter for a feature on

360
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>an add on that had been added to that add

361
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.839
<v Speaker 1>on like a year ago by that exact process, and

362
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 1>that user just had ignored and myss that it had

363
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>been added to the add on. So it is definitely

364
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>something where.

365
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh I think it's a very I mean, like I said,

366
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 3>we have a doubt. We have like straight up dell

367
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 3>with that. Like it is literally these people's jobs to

368
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 3>kill raid Boss as fast as possible, which means using

369
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 3>all the tech that is possibly available to them that

370
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 3>we have people hired to make for them, right and

371
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 3>like it's their job to make sure that they have

372
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 3>this shit, So it's above like a casual gaming, it's

373
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 3>like their job and a large amount of those things.

374
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 3>If we did not make them on by default, they

375
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.359
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't use right, So it's it's I would rather deal

376
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.039
<v Speaker 3>with them get mad for one pole because some things

377
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.079
<v Speaker 3>on their screen and go away than them like having

378
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 3>done an entire progression where they would have played better

379
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 3>had they known something was there.

380
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I've learned as a streamer is that people don't fucking

381
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 2>read like. You can have millions of commands, you can

382
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>have you know, all these things on your titles and

383
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.720
<v Speaker 2>shot all over your screen, and people will just ask

384
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the same ship like, hey, what are your talents? Hey,

385
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 2>where's the tearless? What is meta? You know? What's that

386
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 2>add on there using even though it literally says the

387
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 2>right fear of that, like the add on is called

388
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>tru c g GCD or whatever the fuck it might be.

389
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember when the corruption Vendor reset on like

390
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 1>every twice a week or whatever there was. I had

391
00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to a stream where people asked it so often every

392
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>they asked that I made it bigger the timer on

393
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 1>my screen by the end it was like half the

394
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>screen before uh the stream is over. It's yeah, the

395
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>very people people do not there. They would rather just

396
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 1>ask than try, and like you know, than any anything else, right,

397
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 1>than than think about it at all. Which, yeah, that's

398
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 1>just that's that's something you gotta you know, you gotta

399
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>play around if you're a streamer. But ad On devs

400
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>usually don't have to play around it. It's just when

401
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.559
<v Speaker 1>they push a controversial update that they then get a

402
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 1>taste to that.

403
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, me really sucks for the guy though

404
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.359
<v Speaker 2>m hm.

405
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Again, I totally understand that. It's like it's you know,

406
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>it sucks that a cool add on has gone off

407
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>of the market basically, but I definitely understand why they

408
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>took it off.

409
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, like I said, yeah, about to say els

410
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:03.079
<v Speaker 3>me or I continues to climb the of of did

411
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I saw a picture in my guild discord today of

412
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 3>someone having purchased or showed a picture of like their

413
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.119
<v Speaker 3>Ella's Mirror merch on their bed like a T shirt.

414
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.799
<v Speaker 3>Like they're just so fucking Ella's mire pilled that they

415
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:19.079
<v Speaker 3>just straight up buying merch.

416
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 1>They're Yeah, it's a I mean a good call. It

417
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 1>like an all in one Adam that just kind of

418
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:32.480
<v Speaker 1>does all of the everything. Well, that's uh, that's what

419
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.319
<v Speaker 1>people have been kind of yearning for ever since week

420
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.319
<v Speaker 1>or is stop the updating so awesome?

421
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's really impressive when people like THHD and

422
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.920
<v Speaker 2>JB are using Ellesmere UI, Like these guys are hardheaded

423
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 2>as hell. They will literally never change your habits.

424
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Yep, THHD changing his UI is absolutely insane, Like I

425
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.720
<v Speaker 3>cannot believe that that happened.

426
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Are all right? Speaking of THD, I have some DMS

427
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 1>for THD. Recently, when I was doing normal raid testing,

428
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>he was laughing because we'd started pulling the trash. The

429
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.400
<v Speaker 1>trash this upcoming raid is, what on earth were they?

430
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you guys have done normal testing

431
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 1>or like maxively watch the normal testing beyond the bosses,

432
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but they have made some of the most diabolical trash

433
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 1>gauntlets that I've ever seen in a raid. And there's

434
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:32.839
<v Speaker 1>like three separate sections with differently evil trash coming up.

435
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So if that doesn't change by the time this goes live,

436
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that's going to be probably the biggest thing

437
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 1>that most people remember from this raid will be how

438
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 1>awful the trash is I'm not exacter it is so bad.

439
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 1>The trash gauntlets that you get into, Yeah, yeah, it's nasty.

440
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.279
<v Speaker 1>The bosses are pretty cool, though a couple of them

441
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>were like bad, but they've retested those and they work now,

442
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>so that's good. Yeah.

443
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.559
<v Speaker 3>A couple of them were very, very sloppy, like the

444
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.720
<v Speaker 3>first testing of Vashnik, which is I think the closest

445
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:07.680
<v Speaker 3>way to understand this raid layout is uh Avarice, So

446
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.640
<v Speaker 3>like there's like a first boss and then there's like

447
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 3>two little two boss wings and then it like goes

448
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 3>linear after that. I think that's like the easiest way

449
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 3>to understand the the pacing of the current raider, like

450
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 3>what they're trying to do with that, And like Vashnik

451
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 3>is the end of one of the wings, So I

452
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.160
<v Speaker 3>guess you could relate it to like where u RAS

453
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Shock or Forgotten Experiments was, for example, if you're trying

454
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.680
<v Speaker 3>to like put a difficulty in your head, but it's like, dude,

455
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 3>the did you even see like a vod of the

456
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.880
<v Speaker 3>previous testing where like there was just like a million

457
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh you did you did the Like there's a million

458
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 3>and you have to kill them after you break them out,

459
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and like Yeah, it was a total disaster. Like it

460
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.440
<v Speaker 3>was just our raiders were just going like slop, this

461
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 3>is slop slop boss. Like it was definitely not received

462
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 3>well at all, and then it, uh, these bosses were

463
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:58.960
<v Speaker 3>way better. Same thing with the for the tortollin boss,

464
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 3>the uh uh what's it called something?

465
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Explorer?

466
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Lost Explorers is way way better. That was pretty

467
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.400
<v Speaker 3>tough too.

468
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that one was. That one's pretty cool. It's like

469
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.799
<v Speaker 1>a it's kind of a council boss, but you can

470
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.519
<v Speaker 1>only stack up two of the three at a time,

471
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:16.839
<v Speaker 1>and you like get to choose which of the three

472
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>does their alts at a time as well. Unfortunately, two

473
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 1>of the three alts didn't work on their first testing

474
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and just were impossible to do, so that was obviously

475
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>not great. But then the second testing they figure that out,

476
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 1>so you know, kudos to them for making that boss worse.

477
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a it's a fine council boss. And it's

478
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Speaker 3>not in a part of the raid that it's it's

479
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 3>it's in the uh I believe it is in the

480
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Zachali assault spot, right. Yeah, it's like you go left

481
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.680
<v Speaker 3>and it's it's it's there either that or in tomb

482
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.319
<v Speaker 3>Sentinels is your second boss exactly, yeah, which is very

483
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 3>similar to like Amalgamation Chamber if any actually speaking of

484
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.000
<v Speaker 3>avarice like literally like almost like Bar for Bar the

485
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.160
<v Speaker 3>same boss, uh there, and then yeah, and then and

486
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 3>then Scissorak after Lost Explorers is like I think definitely

487
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.720
<v Speaker 3>ras Shock tier and like similar like single target boss

488
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 3>with some dodging and stuff and a little damage jamp.

489
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.960
<v Speaker 3>That's very cool, yeah, although.

490
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 1>It is one of those obnoxious damage jamps that is

491
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a at a kind of weird timing and b you're getting

492
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:24.599
<v Speaker 1>knocked back while it's going on, So if you're not

493
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 1>like a dk DEA's advancing, you're gonna have a hard

494
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 1>time getting value out of that, out of that damage jamp.

495
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's actually it reminds me exactly of salad

496
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 1>r too, because it's such a small damage jamp. It's

497
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 1>like thirty percent, so it's like big enough that you

498
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:39.920
<v Speaker 1>have to care about it, but not big enough that

499
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, a big a huge deal, right, It's

500
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 1>like that exact number where it is just in my opinion,

501
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it's just like annoying because there's also the movement going on.

502
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, the damage the damage timings for damage aamps

503
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 3>are weird. The movement isn't that big of a deal

504
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 3>because you can, you know, you have the ability to

505
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 3>manipulate that. Also, they did make some changes to the

506
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 3>boss that like do you move less when you have

507
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:03.759
<v Speaker 3>the pop debuff, but also like punished you in more

508
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 3>ways if you handle it properly. So I think they're

509
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 3>they're kind of cooking with that. Did you spend any

510
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 3>time on the second to last.

511
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Boss, Yeah, not this retesting of it, but the we

512
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>got through phase one in the first testing.

513
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 3>And I'm assuming instantly got clapped in P two P

514
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:21.279
<v Speaker 3>twos like.

515
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:23.799
<v Speaker 1>We have like a minute into P two on one

516
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of our polls or something. So it was not enough,

517
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 1>like enough for me to have a theory about how

518
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you could do the mechanics, but not enough for us

519
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to get any whork close decks getting them, you know. So, dude,

520
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 1>it's such a cool boss. Basically in P one, you're

521
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of collecting these green orbs and stacking them up

522
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to get hit by the boss frontal and on mythic

523
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:45.799
<v Speaker 1>there's also some that you have to make sure you

524
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.440
<v Speaker 1>don't get too close to the other orbs and you're

525
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.440
<v Speaker 1>also doing some other you know, mechanics. Of course, on

526
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:54.839
<v Speaker 1>top of that really fun phase, you get this exciting

527
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 1>combination of like the tank positioning and also other players

528
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 1>moving these orbs and the oft time moving the Mythic

529
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 1>orbs because they do a lot of image. And then

530
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 1>P two. So P two on Mythic you have people

531
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:10.160
<v Speaker 1>that are like trying to jump off the edge Jailer's style, right.

532
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 1>You got to stop them from jumping off the edge.

533
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:16.599
<v Speaker 1>When you stop them, they spawn two ghosts that fixate players.

534
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:20.119
<v Speaker 1>They will walk towards that player unless the player looks

535
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:21.599
<v Speaker 1>at them, so you can like freeze them in place

536
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.200
<v Speaker 1>by looking at them. But only the person who is

537
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>being fixated on Mythic can actually see their ghost, so

538
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody else can see your ghost. And you need to

539
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 1>get them all hit by a tank frontal to make

540
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 1>them go away. And they're like six of them, and

541
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.759
<v Speaker 1>on Mythic they can't be too close to each other

542
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 1>or else they start pulsing damage. So I think you

543
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.359
<v Speaker 1>need a line of like six world markers, and you

544
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.599
<v Speaker 1>need to like have people call out or somehow systematically

545
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 1>assign like Okay, I'm gonna I'll put mine on circle.

546
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll put mine on X or whatever, and then you

547
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:55.599
<v Speaker 1>have to like line a tank front a lot at

548
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that while simultaneously doing the other mechanic of the phase,

549
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 1>which is like you have these ads that you kick them,

550
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 1>and then kicking them just like stops them from killing you,

551
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't stop them forever, and they're shielded and

552
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 1>you have to you have to like land these circles

553
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 1>on them to actually break their shield and each time

554
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you kick them they teleport away a little bit. So

555
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:13.559
<v Speaker 1>it's like that's super annoying. And you have to land

556
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>two of these four circles on each of the ads.

557
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 1>You have to be precise of that, and then you

558
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:20.039
<v Speaker 1>have to kill these ads, and all this is going

559
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 1>on while people are like kiting and then freezing their

560
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.319
<v Speaker 1>their spirits. I don't know, it's incredibly hectic. And then

561
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 1>from normal testing it's like and then we get a

562
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.839
<v Speaker 1>phase three, which is both P one and P two

563
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.400
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, and you just have to actually

564
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 1>do everything slow.

565
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's slowed down though you have the ability. Yeah,

566
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.319
<v Speaker 3>but both mechanics they definitely feel like three separate phases,

567
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily like P one and P two and then

568
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:45.759
<v Speaker 3>it's just like, well, let's fucking do it. At the

569
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 3>same time, it's like kind of slowed down, kind of

570
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 3>similar to like I think Stoneleage in General's P. Three

571
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 3>is actually I know that word is going to immediately

572
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 3>trigger some people, but like yeah, yeah, but not in

573
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 3>the you know, there's a lot that that isn't why

574
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 3>the fight was bad. It's just like the cadence of

575
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 3>the fight specifically in that phase that is a reason why.

576
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, Like the last phase you thought it would

577
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 3>just be crazy, right, but then it like kind of

578
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:11.319
<v Speaker 3>even though it had all the mechanics, it was just

579
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.240
<v Speaker 3>slowed down enough to where it didn't actually like matter,

580
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.519
<v Speaker 3>you just kind of did them all. Yeah, pee two.

581
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.279
<v Speaker 3>They did add one thing though, where when you kick

582
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 3>the ghost now, like the two ghosts that are out

583
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:26.759
<v Speaker 3>in that I guess ghosts. There's a lot of ghosts,

584
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 3>like two guys at the ten second fear casts that

585
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 3>you have to stop. When you kick those, everyone can

586
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.200
<v Speaker 3>temporarily see the spirits, so like that at least gives

587
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.599
<v Speaker 3>you some visual clarity. But yeah, I mean that's gonna

588
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 3>gonna like absolutely nuke the shit out of people. I

589
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:43.880
<v Speaker 3>think like a lot of times on progression with those

590
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 3>until there's i mean actually like most really complicated fights,

591
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.519
<v Speaker 3>though I think the reality is like it sounds really complicated,

592
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:52.000
<v Speaker 3>but by the time you get to it, you're just

593
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.960
<v Speaker 3>gonna do what you saw in a video and we're

594
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:58.440
<v Speaker 3>going to eventually make something that makes that hopefully consistent, right,

595
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Like there a way to solve it, except for like

596
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.400
<v Speaker 3>what's famously like that. I think glaves. Maybe that isn't

597
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.119
<v Speaker 3>true though, Like literally, no matter how there was no

598
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:10.920
<v Speaker 3>strat to make Glaves easy. You just like got to

599
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.480
<v Speaker 3>play the game.

600
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't Glaze be like the opposite example. It's like something

601
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:15.799
<v Speaker 2>that's super simple but it's challenging.

602
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, just to me, like I mean.

603
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Very good.

604
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's super simple and it's design where it's just like, okay,

605
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.000
<v Speaker 3>we all get it. It's like glaves or whatever, but

606
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 3>it's not actually like it was just like the singular

607
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 3>hardest mechanic ever, Like you could look at as like

608
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:38.079
<v Speaker 3>a super hard to solve, crazy puzzle thing and it's

609
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.200
<v Speaker 3>like that is only one mechanic, glaves, but like it's

610
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.039
<v Speaker 3>harder than that, and we spent i mean hours and

611
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:46.759
<v Speaker 3>hours and hours throwing attempts away trying to come up

612
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.799
<v Speaker 3>with any kind of system to make that single thing

613
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.319
<v Speaker 3>easier because it was so hard, and at the end

614
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:53.880
<v Speaker 3>of the day, it's just like, yeah, I mean, obviously

615
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna have to game, but it is it's just

616
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.000
<v Speaker 3>going to be so difficult no matter what.

617
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:02.359
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, fight does not really it doesn't seem like

618
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:06.799
<v Speaker 1>it has a Glaves equivalent, Like it seems like it's

619
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 1>all kind of It's some of these are going to

620
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:13.559
<v Speaker 1>require quick reactions, and the throughput challenge is definitely there,

621
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and making a good decision about like where to bring

622
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 1>your circles to and stuff. You know, making the correct,

623
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.799
<v Speaker 1>easiest decision is definitely going to be a big deal.

624
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's it doesn't seem like it's a huge like

625
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 1>personal responsibility fight in the in the same way that

626
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Glaves was. It seems like it's a lot more like

627
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:35.319
<v Speaker 1>developing good systems for this and everybody understanding them, which

628
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to me personally, like this is the most excited I've

629
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 1>ever been for a second to last boss from testing

630
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>it is. It was it was such It's like usually

631
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>when we're testing, by the time the one hour mark

632
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 1>rules around, I'm like, okay, I'm glad to be out

633
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:50.799
<v Speaker 1>of here, right. It's like we've been wiping on something

634
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 1>for a while. You know, I kind of understand what

635
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.480
<v Speaker 1>we'd have to do to solve this, but not everybody

636
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:56.319
<v Speaker 1>else does. And I don't want to try and like

637
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>make a spreadsheet mid testing to to assign anymore of

638
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. With this one, it was like the hour

639
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>finished and I was like, wait, this is an hour already,

640
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Like this is this is so fun. This is a

641
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 1>blast to progress. So I'm very much looking forward to

642
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Speaker 1>fighting that one. A couple of the bosses before it

643
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:16.079
<v Speaker 1>not as much. I think Twin Fangs for instance. That

644
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>one's like dodging Green on Green Hell that I'm not

645
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to as much. But yeah, that was On

646
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the other side, we're pretty.

647
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Good that one. They came up with a really interesting thing,

648
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:27.759
<v Speaker 3>Like it's the first time in a very long time

649
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 3>that like a boss that's in the you know nexus,

650
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:38.279
<v Speaker 3>Princess kaives the you know I guess, yeah, technically the

651
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Magmarax position, the sludge Fist position, the third to last

652
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.200
<v Speaker 3>boss in a linear fashion where there's no choices and

653
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 3>it's like kind of usually where like the single target

654
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.160
<v Speaker 3>E type boss is except they just made. It is

655
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 3>definitely going to be hard, and it is pure to

656
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.359
<v Speaker 3>target like the entire time, which is as I think

657
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:03.599
<v Speaker 3>we saw a little bit last season with the Vanguards

658
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 3>the Paladins, like that one is actually on Heroic it's

659
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 3>trip it's three target, but on on Mythic I think

660
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.559
<v Speaker 3>you're like, it's two target cleave like seventy five percent

661
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 3>of the time. So like, but that wasn't a hard boss,

662
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 3>Like this is a boss that should be significantly more

663
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 3>challenging than Vanguards, and like having a boss that difficult,

664
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 3>that has that specific of a profile is like really interesting.

665
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Maybe Lords of Dread is a similar although also very weird,

666
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Like the Damagejamp thing with that was weird, but like

667
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:35.279
<v Speaker 3>that's something It's two target in this game is something

668
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker 3>that is historically not balanced in any way. Yeah, so

669
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.279
<v Speaker 3>like I think that will maybe be kind of interesting.

670
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean you could look at lifeline of Vanguard's week

671
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 1>one and two, like warcraft log statistics, the difference between

672
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the best specs on that and the rest versus on

673
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a single target fight was like night and day. Right, Yeah,

674
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.039
<v Speaker 1>this tier there is a lot of that though, Right,

675
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like the first boss. This is single target with

676
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 1>ads right decond boss, two target with a third target,

677
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a prior target that spawns sometimes third boss. Two targets

678
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that are stacked, and then one target that's not. Then

679
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Vashnik is ad slop spawn thing. Scissorac is single target,

680
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>but then twin fangs. Yeah, two targets with these like

681
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>extra bursts of other ads spawns, coiled alter mostly single target,

682
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 1>and then a two target last phase and then we'll

683
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Speaker 1>attack as a question mark. But like of these, it's

684
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.519
<v Speaker 1>mostly looking like if you are a two or three

685
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>target specialist, like this tier is going to be crazy

686
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.359
<v Speaker 1>lucrative for you. SU specs like Moonkin, Shadow Priest I

687
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 1>think are have a really really high potential to be

688
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 1>good for most of this tier, although of course the

689
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>end boss is always the thing that matters the most for.

690
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:54.279
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, the which also has a lot of

691
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 3>different kind of damage profiles to it as opposed to

692
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.119
<v Speaker 3>the usual.

693
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, we got here a bunch of eggs and stuff.

694
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:03.279
<v Speaker 1>You could get into this boss's room and normal testing

695
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and there's a bunch of eggs on the ceiling, so

696
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.840
<v Speaker 1>uh looks yeah, uh scary.

697
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you said it could be a raid where moon

698
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Can is good? And that made me think, when was

699
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.119
<v Speaker 3>the last time that moon Cain was like good? Was

700
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 3>it actually shadow Lands, like the last time you played

701
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.039
<v Speaker 3>a moon Cain and it was like strong? Maybe you

702
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 3>could even say like stacking two of them, because I

703
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 3>think typically when a class is like good, you want

704
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 3>two of them.

705
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I just have bosses, right, But like, when's the last

706
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>actual raid tier where you were like, Mooncin is good

707
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 1>this tier rather than like stick Spunk Junker, moon Cain

708
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:42.280
<v Speaker 1>is good on this boss right?

709
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

710
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they were the best class in the game. In

711
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.719
<v Speaker 3>Sanctum of Domination, there's the singular best deps spec and

712
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:51.360
<v Speaker 3>that's like pretty rare after actually most specs never even

713
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.960
<v Speaker 3>have a period of time where that is true about them.

714
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.320
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, they it's been it's been a it's been

715
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.440
<v Speaker 3>like fuck six years since the moon Can have been

716
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 3>good in raids somehow, and they're still very hated, which

717
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.960
<v Speaker 3>is pretty funny.

718
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, all this sounds like to me is Bumkin

719
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 2>is probably gonna end up being very dog shit for

720
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 2>for M.

721
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Plus maybe Yeah, it's I mean like they they've reworked

722
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 1>it on the PTR a little bit, right, So yeah, yeah,

723
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a super favorable raid and like it's doing really

724
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.159
<v Speaker 1>well and testing and everything. It is possible they'll nerve

725
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:34.880
<v Speaker 1>it so that it's good in raid but not great

726
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and then awful and m plus is of course.

727
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 3>That happened, though, I feel like they're classes that are

728
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.480
<v Speaker 3>typically like that happens good in raid. I feel like

729
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:48.039
<v Speaker 3>they're almost always good in mythic plus.

730
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 2>We're talking like feer your warrior treatment. Oh, Like in narrative,

731
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>we're talking like if you have like a very specific

732
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:59.639
<v Speaker 2>type of damage that is just extremely good at certain situations,

733
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna get nerved, which will end up making it

734
00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:04.159
<v Speaker 2>plus yeah.

735
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like if you're good at cleave, right, if

736
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you're good at cleave, they nerve you and now you're

737
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:11.880
<v Speaker 1>your bad single target. You're good at cleave and you're

738
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.239
<v Speaker 1>bad at AoE, and then that means you're bad and

739
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>then plus right, It.

740
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:18.119
<v Speaker 3>Just depends on what kind of cleave. Like I, I

741
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 3>do think the Fury Warrior on Answerk is a very

742
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:24.559
<v Speaker 3>unique situation, Like I don't think it's typical every tier

743
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 3>there's a class that's like really good in the raid

744
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.440
<v Speaker 3>and then gets nerved and makes them bad. A mythic plus,

745
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.079
<v Speaker 3>like like warrior just too.

746
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:32.840
<v Speaker 2>That happens quite often. I mean like shadow priests for example, right,

747
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 2>like shadow priests have notoriously be I think despite not

748
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.000
<v Speaker 2>needing then nerve.

749
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's the opposite though they were never good

750
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:43.079
<v Speaker 3>in raided. They were never nerved in because they were

751
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 3>good in raid, which made them bad a mythic plus.

752
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:46.000
<v Speaker 3>It was almost the opposite.

753
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, like an undermine on their mind was one of

754
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker 2>them that.

755
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Was like pretty oh that like because one armed bandit

756
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.599
<v Speaker 3>was a boss because like they were like very fine

757
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:58.960
<v Speaker 3>and like okay for the rest of the raid, but they.

758
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Got shot by like Fiercent or some shit, and they.

759
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Weren't they weren't they mythic plus at that point though too.

760
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 2>No, they weren't. They weren't quite mety yet. But that

761
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:12.239
<v Speaker 2>was the disc they were looking all right, Uh I

762
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.639
<v Speaker 2>believe this oracle is yeah?

763
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean typically like getting nerve to mythic plus,

764
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:19.280
<v Speaker 3>if like your class is really strong and mythic plus,

765
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't really affect you that much in raid because

766
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.519
<v Speaker 3>raid is a slightly different profile. It's like cleaving like

767
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:28.840
<v Speaker 3>three on average, it's like cleaving three to five ads

768
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:30.960
<v Speaker 3>on like they spawn and then they need to die,

769
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 3>or it's like consistent two to three target cleave, which

770
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 3>is not really Mythic Plus's profile, right, It's like either

771
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 3>pure single target or like you're fighting like fifteen or

772
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.280
<v Speaker 3>sixteen mobs or fifteen or like twenty mobs. So like, yeah,

773
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.079
<v Speaker 3>I guess like Mythic Plus nerves are less likely to

774
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:49.039
<v Speaker 3>affect dungeons, but when they nerve you and raid in

775
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.840
<v Speaker 3>any way, especially your single target in a wee talents,

776
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.159
<v Speaker 3>I think that will hurt your Mythic Plus, right, because

777
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 3>you don't want to be that class that's like farming overall,

778
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:58.760
<v Speaker 3>but like does nothing to bosses.

779
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, sometimes it depends on like do they hit

780
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 1>you in your m plus only talents or do they

781
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.760
<v Speaker 1>hit you in your you know, core coefficient or something right,

782
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:13.559
<v Speaker 1>which they kind of randomly decide that it is.

783
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:15.679
<v Speaker 3>It is interesting though, like if you're a pure Mythic

784
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Plus player and you look at it from the perspective

785
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.840
<v Speaker 3>only of like your enjoyment playing a specific spec in

786
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Mythic Plus, you at times will have your class nerve

787
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:26.719
<v Speaker 3>and Mythic Plus because of them making a raid boss

788
00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 3>a certain way, like one arm bandit. If Shadow Priests

789
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.280
<v Speaker 3>did get nerve that tier, it is exclusive because they

790
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:33.119
<v Speaker 3>were not good at anything else in that raid at all.

791
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.000
<v Speaker 3>In fact, they were like really bad for the last

792
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.039
<v Speaker 3>second to last boss, and the last boss didn't matter

793
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 3>a bit. So like they got nerved basically because they

794
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:44.159
<v Speaker 3>decided to for the first time in years, by the way,

795
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:46.920
<v Speaker 3>design a like three target spread cleave thing for the

796
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:49.119
<v Speaker 3>first time ever, and then your class is just worse

797
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:50.400
<v Speaker 3>and mythic plus because of it.

798
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it owned.

799
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're always kind of hoping that you're not good

800
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:57.239
<v Speaker 1>at both if you only play one.

801
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:59.599
<v Speaker 3>Again, though I don't. I don't think this even happens

802
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 3>every every season though, like it's it's not like.

803
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:07.280
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty often, So I would say fifth Midnight season one,

804
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:11.400
<v Speaker 2>it was Marksman Hunter. Marksman Hunter was one of the

805
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:13.280
<v Speaker 2>specs that was like looking pretty decent and it got

806
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.800
<v Speaker 2>shot on the head because of how powerful of their

807
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:16.880
<v Speaker 2>two three target was.

808
00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was just because of what it was, because

809
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of light blind and Vanguard right that they got shot

810
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:27.159
<v Speaker 1>right right? Yeah, yeah. Bear also you could you could

811
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:30.199
<v Speaker 1>you could argue that Bear they ended up the way

812
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:35.079
<v Speaker 1>that they got there was like the buff and they

813
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:40.400
<v Speaker 1>just happened to accidentally buffet and N plus instead of yeah,

814
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.360
<v Speaker 1>there is. There's always collateral damage, I guess between the

815
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.760
<v Speaker 1>two modes. Just yeah, the scale of it changes from

816
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Speaker 1>tier to tier.

817
00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I would say this happens very often with healers actually,

818
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:52.519
<v Speaker 2>which is one of the reasons why I've always said

819
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.239
<v Speaker 2>preservation will literally never be good and N plus because

820
00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.320
<v Speaker 2>that class any moment it gets to shine, like just

821
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the tiniest bit, it's like, oh, this is going to

822
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:05.000
<v Speaker 2>be the most broken healer in RAID, which I mean,

823
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:07.599
<v Speaker 2>like when has this not happened, like even like literally

824
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 2>just this week, right, like literally just today they had

825
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:12.320
<v Speaker 2>some their preservation evocre because it was like way too

826
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:13.960
<v Speaker 2>good in RAID or some shit, right, Like, I don't

827
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.400
<v Speaker 2>know anything about that class, but what I do know

828
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:19.760
<v Speaker 2>about that class is it's always nerved in RAID and

829
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:21.360
<v Speaker 2>it's never good in M plus.

830
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I mean it has been op and raids

831
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>several It was OPI and Narbar, it was Opie and Dragonfly.

832
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh season your season on Dragonfly, right that was it

833
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:33.000
<v Speaker 1>was OPI in as well.

834
00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:35.039
<v Speaker 3>So I mean it's getting to the point where I

835
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.760
<v Speaker 3>think going into every tier, you're like you're just under

836
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.199
<v Speaker 3>the assumption preservation will be op Yeah, it's just it's

837
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:46.679
<v Speaker 3>just mechanical. It just has the mechanics of a class

838
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:49.079
<v Speaker 3>that is just insane and raid. It's just built in

839
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:50.599
<v Speaker 3>baseline with their spells.

840
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what exactly is if that makes them good? I

841
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:56.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know anything about Froze same not a healer.

842
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.119
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like, first of all, Rewind scales really

843
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:01.920
<v Speaker 1>well in a raid setting, and it's not it's one

844
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.519
<v Speaker 1>of those like CDs that is is much more effective

845
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in that than in an M plus. And then also

846
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:12.440
<v Speaker 1>just effects like dream breath are work better in a

847
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>raid situation. You know, it's easier to kind of hit

848
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:17.039
<v Speaker 1>everybody than an M plus the way that those pulls

849
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:20.400
<v Speaker 1>typically work out. So I think I think it's a

850
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:25.480
<v Speaker 1>combination of those things. And then layered on top of

851
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:28.679
<v Speaker 1>that is like the spell tuning every season. But I

852
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's the baseline that's the problem. But I also

853
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:32.840
<v Speaker 1>am not press is probably the healer that I like

854
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>get the least intuitively, you know, like like knowing what,

855
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:41.280
<v Speaker 1>knowing when it should be doing healing and how is

856
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the least easy for me to understand.

857
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.239
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't really have an identity. Those in. I don't

858
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:48.639
<v Speaker 2>even know what their identity is supposed to be.

859
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it is like reversing damage, right, Like that

860
00:41:56.119 --> 00:41:57.159
<v Speaker 1>seems like the thing.

861
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I believe it, it sounds like it.

862
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it seems. I think they have like multiple different profiles,

863
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.960
<v Speaker 3>like they've been able to spec into like different parts

864
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:10.719
<v Speaker 3>of their kit. Uh, Like you can like spec into

865
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:14.039
<v Speaker 3>the reversion stuff, you can do, dream flight, you can

866
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:17.840
<v Speaker 3>do whatever. That flame big Burst of Healing was like

867
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:20.239
<v Speaker 3>multiple patches ago. I don't think the gameplay for those

868
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 3>as I have all been like super similar. They just

869
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:23.800
<v Speaker 3>have like a ton of sauce.

870
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Dude.

871
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:26.079
<v Speaker 3>They're just like a newly created class and they have

872
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:27.760
<v Speaker 3>so much sauce that they could just cook up a

873
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.519
<v Speaker 3>build in any direction based on like what Blizzard wants

874
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:32.639
<v Speaker 3>to be good that patch, and it's just different and

875
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:35.800
<v Speaker 3>really strong in a different way.

876
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, do you guys want to do good? Door

877
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 1>keep which?

878
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Guy? Here's my hot take about class like dentity. They

879
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:52.840
<v Speaker 2>need to not nerve DK's survivability. Yeah, I know, I

880
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.840
<v Speaker 2>know everyone's been all up in airs about like a.

881
00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, by any chance, just curious.

882
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I I do, but hear me out I am not

883
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:11.840
<v Speaker 2>for specifically DKA being uniquely powerful defensively. You know, like

884
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:15.000
<v Speaker 2>like I just don't like the idea of having to

885
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 2>homogenize every single utility defensive, et ceter rub because like,

886
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, like at first, we were complaining about utility, right,

887
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.000
<v Speaker 2>like we complained about master Spell when it was op

888
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:27.239
<v Speaker 2>back and Dragonfly. We complained about you know, like mine

889
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to fade and they have to nerve all that shit.

890
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

891
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.079
<v Speaker 2>There was also Demon Hunter stigils, right like Dean Hunter's

892
00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:36.760
<v Speaker 2>sigils got absolutely neutered, and it's just so fucking lame

893
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:41.880
<v Speaker 2>how Dean Hunter stigils are just completely worthless now And

894
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:47.360
<v Speaker 2>it feels like we're now raising our pitchforks at d

895
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:51.880
<v Speaker 2>KS because they happen to be meta for three and

896
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.280
<v Speaker 2>a half seasons in a row now in l plus

897
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:58.159
<v Speaker 2>and so obviously you know, everyone's like talking about the

898
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.559
<v Speaker 2>defensive kid of DPS specs now, which is like crazy

899
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:03.920
<v Speaker 2>because like literally no one has ever talked about this before.

900
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:06.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just like we've gone to the point where we're

901
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.320
<v Speaker 2>just like looking for the smallest things to complain about,

902
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:14.280
<v Speaker 2>and I just feel like you're just gonna lose DK's

903
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:16.840
<v Speaker 2>identity if you're get on their for survivability, Like, they've

904
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:21.559
<v Speaker 2>literally been the tankyest DPS spec for since literally very inception,

905
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:24.159
<v Speaker 2>right like, literally since raphablicking, they have been the tank

906
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.719
<v Speaker 2>at spec. And if they're just gonna take that away

907
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 2>from them, I think that's extremely fucking lame. It is,

908
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:32.199
<v Speaker 2>it is.

909
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:35.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a real convenient niche to happen to be like

910
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:36.840
<v Speaker 3>your thing, you know.

911
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean not really, because I mean, like, the

912
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:42.320
<v Speaker 2>class hasn't been good before despite being instantly tanky, right, Like,

913
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.159
<v Speaker 2>it just so happens that Blizzard also cares a lot

914
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:48.280
<v Speaker 2>about tuning very damage high because of the whole raid

915
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:52.320
<v Speaker 2>buff situation. Like I swear if they actually just gave

916
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.400
<v Speaker 2>DK a raid buff and tune their damage appropriately, we

917
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:58.360
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be thinking about DK being metal all the time.

918
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Like literally, the class is only meta because it's extremely

919
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:03.159
<v Speaker 2>high damage. Like everyone's gonna cope and be like, oh,

920
00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean no, it's because of their survivability. Except no, Like, literally,

921
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the class has been this survivable for an entire decade

922
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:13.280
<v Speaker 2>of M plus and not a single time has it

923
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:15.400
<v Speaker 2>been good until I.

924
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:18.159
<v Speaker 3>Think you are hitting on something that's pretty important, the

925
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:21.840
<v Speaker 3>like the defensives in general are just overrated, like they

926
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 3>basically make a great class morop. But I think it

927
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.519
<v Speaker 3>was much more of a problem in the game when

928
00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.199
<v Speaker 3>like Mythic plus keys, where I believe how they used

929
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:32.039
<v Speaker 3>to be. I don't know if it's still this way now,

930
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:34.280
<v Speaker 3>but like where you would just straight up not be

931
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:37.000
<v Speaker 3>able to like live so many of the mechanics because

932
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.920
<v Speaker 3>like you started, like running into a key level where

933
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:40.920
<v Speaker 3>damage wasn't your issue, it was whether you could even

934
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:46.199
<v Speaker 3>possibly stay alive. If that's not the case you, defensiveness

935
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:48.199
<v Speaker 3>is like you can say it's like, oh, like it's

936
00:45:48.199 --> 00:45:50.920
<v Speaker 3>the only thing that matters or whatever, But like, bro,

937
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:53.199
<v Speaker 3>if there's a class that's just doing like five percent

938
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.199
<v Speaker 3>more damage than you, and you could be the tankiest

939
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:57.400
<v Speaker 3>thing on planet Earth, and the best players are gonna

940
00:45:57.400 --> 00:45:58.679
<v Speaker 3>find a way to play the thing that does five

941
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.159
<v Speaker 3>percent more damage. And if that's true, then how op

942
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:06.880
<v Speaker 3>are defensives? Right? Defensives are like as op as you

943
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:10.199
<v Speaker 3>need this amount to stay alive, but typically a class

944
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:12.880
<v Speaker 3>doesn't fall below that threshold of what is possible, so

945
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:14.840
<v Speaker 3>you always take the thing that just does more.

946
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, agreed, I mean, well, I will say one thing

947
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:22.199
<v Speaker 2>that does make it kind of weird this time around

948
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:26.039
<v Speaker 2>is Blizzer has done a much better job at balancing damage,

949
00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:27.960
<v Speaker 2>which a lot of people probably won't agree with, because

950
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:29.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, everyone's always gonna be like, oh, no, Blizer

951
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.480
<v Speaker 2>balance is fucking terrible, except it's really not, Like I mean,

952
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I think Blizard has been an all time good balance

953
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:38.039
<v Speaker 2>compared to you. You know, you want to know.

954
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Why people will always say that. It's because you're never

955
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:44.400
<v Speaker 3>speaking to people who are looking at the game in

956
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:48.280
<v Speaker 3>its like broad scope. Because naturally what people do is

957
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:50.079
<v Speaker 3>they care about the thing that they play, and most

958
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:52.480
<v Speaker 3>people maine one thing or maybe play a few things.

959
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.679
<v Speaker 3>So if that thing isn't good, and their cues are

960
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.079
<v Speaker 3>really long and they turn into tune into your stream

961
00:46:57.480 --> 00:46:59.519
<v Speaker 3>and they hear you say that Blizzard balance is good

962
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.199
<v Speaker 3>right now, that's going to piss them off because to them,

963
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:05.800
<v Speaker 3>it's not right. So, like that's why you every time

964
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.719
<v Speaker 3>you hear someone say that and get mad at you

965
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.000
<v Speaker 3>saying like, Blizzard is balancing really good right now, you're

966
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:14.079
<v Speaker 3>hearing a bunch of individual people from their individual perspectives

967
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:18.760
<v Speaker 3>being like, yes, because agreeing with that, but if because

968
00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:21.360
<v Speaker 3>like who out there is truly a like, I look

969
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.440
<v Speaker 3>at things the way they are for everyone, like almost everyone,

970
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:27.000
<v Speaker 3>like ninety plus percent of people, even at the high end,

971
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:28.920
<v Speaker 3>are going to be so dialed in on like what

972
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:32.320
<v Speaker 3>they actually care about, and that is going to to

973
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.400
<v Speaker 3>tint their glasses as to how tuning actually is a blizzard.

974
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:38.960
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think anytime you say that and people

975
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:40.960
<v Speaker 3>get mad, you're necessary. I mean, you could be wrong,

976
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:42.679
<v Speaker 3>but I don't think it's necessarily you're wrong. It's just

977
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.039
<v Speaker 3>like people regardless of how good tuning is, people will

978
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:46.519
<v Speaker 3>always have that reaction for that reason.

979
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're also going to catch agro from like people

980
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that like to blame tuning for their own failures, which

981
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:56.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying everybody who thinks is bad is one

982
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of those people. But you also get them right, You

983
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.320
<v Speaker 1>catch it both sides of the people that think the

984
00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:04.159
<v Speaker 1>tuning that will be mad at you for that.

985
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:06.800
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's more common than it is not.

986
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, I agree. I agree that tuning is quite

987
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.719
<v Speaker 1>good right now. I obviously there's always room for it

988
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to be better. You know, it's the we're not it's

989
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:21.239
<v Speaker 1>not perfect. I disagree that they shouldn't nerve dpsdks in

990
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:24.199
<v Speaker 1>our villainy. I'm sorry, buddy, I think I think there's okay,

991
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:26.880
<v Speaker 1>but how still have it be the tankiest madle gps?

992
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Sure? Sure, I mean I mean that part I can

993
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:30.639
<v Speaker 2>agree with, right, Like I can agree with that they

994
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:33.079
<v Speaker 2>should still be the tank US. I was just like wondering,

995
00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:33.639
<v Speaker 2>like how much.

996
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like I don't want them to do the major

997
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.440
<v Speaker 1>thing where it's like, oh, MAJE was the tankiest and

998
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:41.519
<v Speaker 1>now they're the squishiest, right and like everybody celebrates and

999
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:43.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, people are just there just.

1000
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, the way I say it is like

1001
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.760
<v Speaker 2>there's there's no way DK should ever not be the

1002
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.519
<v Speaker 2>tank us, right, yeah, because they're hold whether it's like

1003
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:59.880
<v Speaker 2>more that that's like a debate, but.

1004
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:02.840
<v Speaker 1>But like it should wrap death statistics. It's some of

1005
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the tanks, then the dpsdks, and then some of the

1006
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:08.920
<v Speaker 1>other tanks and then like the rest of the field,

1007
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:11.840
<v Speaker 1>which is a crazy spot. And that's like that's this

1008
00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:13.920
<v Speaker 1>year when DKs are less tanky than they used to

1009
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:17.079
<v Speaker 1>be as well the previous years. It's even more interestingly,

1010
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:19.400
<v Speaker 1>we've also got Shaman's up there, Ellie and Resto Shaman

1011
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.480
<v Speaker 1>both joining the dkys and that kind of in the

1012
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.800
<v Speaker 1>tank sandwich of the least dying. So wonder what's going

1013
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:28.800
<v Speaker 1>on is Shaman super tanky somehow all three of their

1014
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:30.320
<v Speaker 1>specs are like not dying very much.

1015
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:33.519
<v Speaker 2>They're pretty beefy.

1016
00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Well.

1017
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:38.199
<v Speaker 2>So the point I was making though, is because Blizzard

1018
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:41.199
<v Speaker 2>does such a good job at balancing the game, well

1019
00:49:41.599 --> 00:49:44.360
<v Speaker 2>balancing DPS, I should say, because they do such a

1020
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:47.239
<v Speaker 2>good job at bouncing damage. Now we're now looking at

1021
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:50.679
<v Speaker 2>all the character categories. We're looking at ray buffs, we're

1022
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:57.119
<v Speaker 2>looking at utility, we're looking at survivability, and they've gutted

1023
00:49:57.159 --> 00:49:59.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the utility from a lot of spanks.

1024
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:03.159
<v Speaker 2>So we points in the next thing, which is how

1025
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:10.920
<v Speaker 2>survivable a class is. And it just feels like the

1026
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:13.679
<v Speaker 2>game is getting so insanely homogenized to the point where

1027
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:16.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, people just want every class to be as

1028
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:17.639
<v Speaker 2>similar as possible.

1029
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:22.199
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just this question of like, what are

1030
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:26.119
<v Speaker 1>the acceptable things for your spec to be different than

1031
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:28.559
<v Speaker 1>another spec on I think we all kind of agree

1032
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:31.519
<v Speaker 1>that single target DPS isn't one of those things, right,

1033
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 1>It's just not acceptable for your spec to do ten

1034
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:36.679
<v Speaker 1>percent more or less single target damage than other specs

1035
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:39.519
<v Speaker 1>and have that be its identity, right. M plusers have

1036
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.079
<v Speaker 1>been fighting for years to make aoedps also not one

1037
00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of those things right where it's like it just kind

1038
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of used to be true that suspecs would do triple

1039
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the aoedps of others, and that was kind of the

1040
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:50.719
<v Speaker 1>way the game worked, and there's been a long fight

1041
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.119
<v Speaker 1>to make it say no, no, no, that you can't

1042
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>be like that much better or worse at AoE than

1043
00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:58.239
<v Speaker 1>everybody else and have us not complain about it. And

1044
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.800
<v Speaker 1>then the question is, like, is survivability those things right?

1045
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Is survivability one of those things that is acceptable to

1046
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:05.960
<v Speaker 1>be one of the things that differentiates specks from each other,

1047
00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:07.960
<v Speaker 1>or is it one of those things like damage where

1048
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like, no, this makes you too much stronger to

1049
00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:13.480
<v Speaker 1>be you know this op at survivability compared to the

1050
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.000
<v Speaker 1>other specs. I don't know. I I think it's one

1051
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of those things where it's like, it doesn't have to

1052
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:20.760
<v Speaker 1>be perfect balance between everything, but it it should be

1053
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.360
<v Speaker 1>closer than it is right now, and it's probably better

1054
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:26.960
<v Speaker 1>if like, it's probably better if they balance it. Aiming

1055
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:29.360
<v Speaker 1>to bring DK like to the upper middle of the

1056
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:31.239
<v Speaker 1>pack and then it's okay if it misses a little

1057
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:33.320
<v Speaker 1>bit in either direction, but like we should try and

1058
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.800
<v Speaker 1>have a tier where you know, the highest non take

1059
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:42.960
<v Speaker 1>surrobility speck isn't a dpsdkspec for you know, or only

1060
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:44.480
<v Speaker 1>by a very small amount, which guess right now it

1061
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:46.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of is against these Shamans again, I don't know how.

1062
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:48.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the Shamans are living everything, and

1063
00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:50.039
<v Speaker 1>it's not not been the experience with the Shamans in

1064
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:52.559
<v Speaker 1>my rate. I'll tell you what. That's a maybe it's

1065
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.559
<v Speaker 1>not counting if they onc Maybe that's what's happening. I

1066
00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:57.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know, because Holy Priest has also got that because

1067
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:03.239
<v Speaker 1>of their spirit thing. Yeah, anyway, we'll see, we'll see

1068
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:05.480
<v Speaker 1>what they decide to do with it. They they've i mean,

1069
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:07.280
<v Speaker 1>they've already nerved it once. It's definitely in a lot

1070
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:11.360
<v Speaker 1>healthier of a state than it used to be. All Right,

1071
00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:13.599
<v Speaker 1>you guys wanna Okay, I.

1072
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Was just say real quick too. I mean, I'm just

1073
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm just hoping Blizzard doesn't do the thing where every

1074
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:21.360
<v Speaker 2>class ends up becoming the same.

1075
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's all I mean. I think they'd probably get

1076
00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:28.199
<v Speaker 3>some point. I mean, maybe they're not gonna nerve de

1077
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:30.280
<v Speaker 3>gay defensiveness because they just haven't done it yet, So

1078
00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean maybe not.

1079
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, one thing about this tier, they've found a way

1080
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.239
<v Speaker 1>to have a couple of mechanics that you can Death's

1081
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.880
<v Speaker 1>advance but you don't want to, which is neat. Like

1082
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:43.760
<v Speaker 1>they've got this knock back on sizaaq where you you

1083
00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:46.000
<v Speaker 1>get like an arrow showing you where you're gonna get knocked,

1084
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:48.039
<v Speaker 1>and then you need to get knocked into somebody getting

1085
00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:49.800
<v Speaker 1>knocked the other way, and if you just advanced it,

1086
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna get knocked and then they're gonna get

1087
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:53.239
<v Speaker 1>knocked off the platform because they don't have a partner

1088
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to run into. So I feel like that's I like that.

1089
00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I like that they they've got a couple of those

1090
00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:00.480
<v Speaker 1>this year where they've kind of clearly a lot about

1091
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:03.239
<v Speaker 1>making it so that the immunes work but aren't correct

1092
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to press cool.

1093
00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say, because like the only reason

1094
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:11.880
<v Speaker 2>why I feel so strongly about this is because of

1095
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:16.639
<v Speaker 2>specifically demons for sigils. Man, Like that shit feels so

1096
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:22.199
<v Speaker 2>fucking bad. Yeah, allum, the fuck vengeance is even unique

1097
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:23.039
<v Speaker 2>for nowadays?

1098
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the DH sigil thing, So they basically like deep

1099
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:31.960
<v Speaker 1>u VDH was super op for a while, sigils were

1100
00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:33.800
<v Speaker 1>definitely part of it, but they were also just op

1101
00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:36.400
<v Speaker 1>on their own merits for other reasons, right, and then

1102
00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:40.039
<v Speaker 1>everybody was like most mad about the sigils. Uh. And

1103
00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:42.280
<v Speaker 1>then they nerve sigils like three times and they probably

1104
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:44.639
<v Speaker 1>only use nerve from one and a half times something

1105
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:45.000
<v Speaker 1>like that.

1106
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:47.079
<v Speaker 2>So I would say, I mean, like, even if they

1107
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:50.000
<v Speaker 2>reverted back to Legion state, it would be fine, like

1108
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.440
<v Speaker 2>nobody complaining about it back in Legion or be.

1109
00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:55.280
<v Speaker 1>They also like the way the game works now, they

1110
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:57.800
<v Speaker 1>would be less op, right because like it's you don't

1111
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:01.880
<v Speaker 1>exactly like they've changed the way the game is on

1112
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:04.880
<v Speaker 1>an underlying basis for m Plus, the sigils aren't as

1113
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:08.360
<v Speaker 1>like they they aren't a huge part of the meta

1114
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:10.599
<v Speaker 1>is overlaying your stops, your area stops like that. It

1115
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:12.000
<v Speaker 1>would just be a nice thing to have. So yeah,

1116
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm on board of rebuffing vdahe sigils. All right,

1117
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys want to do? You guys want to do

1118
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Patreon question? This one comes from uh one comes from

1119
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:26.440
<v Speaker 1>humble Bees. By the way, if you are a patron,

1120
00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:29.159
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're checking. We're starting to publish a weekly

1121
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Patreon content once again, Frankye Fridays. I don't know if

1122
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we're actually uploading them on Fridays, but the alliteration was

1123
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:36.800
<v Speaker 1>too good for us to pass up, so they're Frankey

1124
00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Fridays regardless of when they release. But yeah, we have

1125
00:54:39.519 --> 00:54:42.000
<v Speaker 1>this one from humble Bees that says, do you think

1126
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:44.920
<v Speaker 1>these easier seasons will cause issues for Wow in the

1127
00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:48.280
<v Speaker 1>long run if Blizzard sticks with them. I'm discussing with

1128
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:50.400
<v Speaker 1>friends and guilties about how people feel like this season

1129
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:53.079
<v Speaker 1>tanks have a disportionate amount of responsibility, and I'm the

1130
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.599
<v Speaker 1>main issue is that since there are like ten plus

1131
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:58.719
<v Speaker 1>free keys and another five ish or so keys where

1132
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:01.320
<v Speaker 1>deeps or healers just have to orm average numbers and

1133
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:04.320
<v Speaker 1>do mechanics kind of okay, all the low keys are

1134
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:06.880
<v Speaker 1>judged by tank routing, and it makes it feel like

1135
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:09.559
<v Speaker 1>that tanks do so much more. And yes, tanks are

1136
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:11.840
<v Speaker 1>squish here than before right now, but not like so

1137
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.119
<v Speaker 1>much more that they do more than any other season.

1138
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Though I admit I main prop Paladin and it is

1139
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:18.840
<v Speaker 1>disfortunately harder than my bear at the nineteen to twenty

1140
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:21.840
<v Speaker 1>range where I'm at In harder seasons, if the lower

1141
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:24.880
<v Speaker 1>keys are harder and the ramp is slower, then all

1142
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:28.000
<v Speaker 1>three roles are struggling in learning in keys and low keys.

1143
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Like in war Within season one, dps were fucking up

1144
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:33.000
<v Speaker 1>boss mechanics and causing wipes, and plus fours healers were

1145
00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:36.000
<v Speaker 1>failing the heel checks in stone Vault and the dB

1146
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I forget what dawn breaker that's that's the one that

1147
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:40.400
<v Speaker 1>one is in plus eights and bricking keys. No one

1148
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:42.840
<v Speaker 1>was hating on one roll because everyone had responsibilities that

1149
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:45.239
<v Speaker 1>were run ending, Whereas right now, if all five players

1150
00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they're doing at a plus ten, the

1151
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:49.199
<v Speaker 1>DPS and HPS is still fine and they just all

1152
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:51.679
<v Speaker 1>rag on the tank for bad routing and polls. Do

1153
00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:54.239
<v Speaker 1>you agree or disagree? Do you like these easier seasons

1154
00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:56.360
<v Speaker 1>where an experienced player can sneeze and get three K?

1155
00:55:56.960 --> 00:55:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this design will hold up if it's

1156
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:00.679
<v Speaker 1>like this all the time, or it is Blizzard intentionally

1157
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:03.679
<v Speaker 1>doing easy seasons and then going back going to go

1158
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:08.480
<v Speaker 1>back to harder seasons again, like when also Dragonfly season three.

1159
00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is one hundred percent of thing right now,

1160
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Like it's not even a question about it. In fact,

1161
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:19.400
<v Speaker 2>it's been a pretty hot topic because of how easy

1162
00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:22.880
<v Speaker 2>keys have become, where people are just like completely clueless

1163
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and you're seeing things that are that shouldn't be seen

1164
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:29.639
<v Speaker 2>at key levels that you would not expect, If that

1165
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:32.840
<v Speaker 2>makes any sense. Yeah, I remember seen key for example,

1166
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and people are just completely clueless. Yeah, like all example.

1167
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Remember when og first came out and everybody was like

1168
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:40.920
<v Speaker 1>just these horror stories of these agivocres because they got

1169
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:42.639
<v Speaker 1>because it was so easy to get high io as

1170
00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:44.800
<v Speaker 1>an augivocre and then you would just have these reports

1171
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:48.039
<v Speaker 1>of like oggs with three KIO that didn't know like

1172
00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:51.880
<v Speaker 1>basic mechanics. Yeah. I agree that that's a problem. I

1173
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:53.960
<v Speaker 1>disagree with the diagnosis. I don't think it's about like

1174
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the overall ease of the keys. It's just if that

1175
00:56:56.440 --> 00:56:59.679
<v Speaker 1>difficulty lands in an imbalanced way upon the rolls, right,

1176
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.719
<v Speaker 1>So it's like it's not because tens are easy, it's

1177
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:06.079
<v Speaker 1>because Hanks have a relatively harder job than the other

1178
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.559
<v Speaker 1>roles this season and healers to a lesser extent as well,

1179
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:10.840
<v Speaker 1>And that is already something Blizzard is like taking a

1180
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:13.519
<v Speaker 1>swing at fixing next season. I think it's almost always

1181
00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:15.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be in that direction. Like it's hard to

1182
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:18.079
<v Speaker 1>imagine a season where tanking isn't one of the hardest roles.

1183
00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:20.920
<v Speaker 1>But again, narrowing that gap will make that less true.

1184
00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think that the question is like the

1185
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:26.679
<v Speaker 1>success rate in plus tens or plus fives or plus

1186
00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:29.239
<v Speaker 1>fifteen's right, it's just a question of like how much

1187
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:33.800
<v Speaker 1>does that success hinge on one role in particular versus everybody.

1188
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I one thing that is definitely I don't think

1189
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:41.119
<v Speaker 3>there's ever going to be a time in whow though

1190
00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:44.079
<v Speaker 3>where tanking isn't the hardest role by far and the

1191
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:46.920
<v Speaker 3>reason why your keys are really hard, And I don't

1192
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:48.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it'd be insane if Blizzard could find a

1193
00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:50.199
<v Speaker 3>way to change that, because I think it's like actually

1194
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:52.360
<v Speaker 3>a pretty big problem. But it's just like kind of

1195
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:54.079
<v Speaker 3>at this point, it like kind of just is what

1196
00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:54.440
<v Speaker 3>it is.

1197
00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:57.079
<v Speaker 1>You Know, there have been a couple of healer I

1198
00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:58.719
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say like healer seasons, but there have

1199
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:01.719
<v Speaker 1>been seasons where there've been heer bosses, Right, you like

1200
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:04.599
<v Speaker 1>zone into a Temples sitralis the first time, and it's

1201
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:06.840
<v Speaker 1>like can my healer heal the third boss right or

1202
00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:08.880
<v Speaker 1>like hals.

1203
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:11.239
<v Speaker 3>No cut offensive second boss a little bit.

1204
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah early exactly. Yeah, so there are some there happened,

1205
00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:17.559
<v Speaker 1>but they they've trended away from doing that. Like when

1206
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:20.280
<v Speaker 1>quarter Stars came out, they basically like nuked the first

1207
00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:22.679
<v Speaker 1>boss or the last boss so that it wasn't a

1208
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:25.679
<v Speaker 1>boss like that like it was back in Legion. So

1209
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I think unless they did that again, and I don't

1210
00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:29.840
<v Speaker 1>for the record, I don't think the shou make healing harder.

1211
00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I think healing is also harder than DPS and it

1212
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:35.679
<v Speaker 1>should be probably brought down towards DPS rather thanough towards tanks.

1213
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how would you do that? Is well, I

1214
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:40.880
<v Speaker 2>mean they've mentioned in their blue posts bats.

1215
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:42.400
<v Speaker 1>They're doing it this season right or this coming season.

1216
00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:45.159
<v Speaker 1>They're they're trying to like just put in some damage

1217
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:48.159
<v Speaker 1>downs and make DPS checks tighter, and those are I

1218
00:58:48.159 --> 00:58:53.360
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of the a lot of the responsibility there. Yeah.

1219
00:58:53.480 --> 00:58:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just like hard to say if those will

1220
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:58.400
<v Speaker 2>exactly achieve that goal, because I mean it could just

1221
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:00.239
<v Speaker 2>end up being like, oh well, tank just has to

1222
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:02.840
<v Speaker 2>pull bigger, like you didn't pull big enough, or I

1223
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:05.199
<v Speaker 2>mean you postle big and the healers just couldn't keep up,

1224
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Like what's happening heler, Like why aren't you healing all

1225
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:09.559
<v Speaker 2>this damage going on? Or like the poles is just

1226
00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:12.280
<v Speaker 2>living forever and you're running out of midigation or cool

1227
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:16.360
<v Speaker 2>downs to heal the pack, and it's like it's hard

1228
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:20.760
<v Speaker 2>to exactly fix the issue. But I will say, like

1229
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the role thing aside, I do think it is eventually

1230
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:33.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be a problem when you're mixed matching expectations

1231
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:38.239
<v Speaker 2>m hm, because like the Wave Lizard has been designing

1232
00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:42.199
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the content recently, is like, you know,

1233
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:44.519
<v Speaker 2>if they try to have a lot more easy or

1234
00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:50.239
<v Speaker 2>like forgiving content right like essentially doing plus tens right

1235
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:52.159
<v Speaker 2>now is a complete joke compared to how it was

1236
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:56.199
<v Speaker 2>in War offin season one, and that that's just like

1237
00:59:56.239 --> 00:59:57.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, a verir way of having players to be

1238
00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:01.920
<v Speaker 2>able to get into content and do it, get easy

1239
01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:04.719
<v Speaker 2>gear and just be able to like fail upwards sort of.

1240
01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:09.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I necessarily agree with that direction.

1241
01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there needs to be some type of

1242
01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:17.199
<v Speaker 2>proving grounds type of situation. I'm not saying like, you know,

1243
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:18.760
<v Speaker 2>if you need proving grounds, but like there needs to

1244
01:00:18.760 --> 01:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>be a way to gauge players and for players to

1245
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>be like, all right, you know, like you gotta be

1246
01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>able to get through this. You got to be able

1247
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to like press your fucking cakes before you can advance.

1248
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:32.199
<v Speaker 3>Is it? Yeah, there is going to be that every

1249
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Like was it just that, like mechanics were more difficult

1250
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.079
<v Speaker 3>in dungeons, so to even do low level ones you

1251
01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:38.960
<v Speaker 3>had to do them. But like, is this a product

1252
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.719
<v Speaker 3>of them also making like things more visual in dungeons

1253
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:43.960
<v Speaker 3>now and like there's kind of less going on per pack,

1254
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:47.480
<v Speaker 3>But like, shouldn't there always theoretically be a level where Okay,

1255
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:50.119
<v Speaker 3>players are now at keys and are not performing where

1256
01:00:50.159 --> 01:00:52.360
<v Speaker 3>you'd expect. It's just the level will raise if the

1257
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:55.880
<v Speaker 3>keys are like easier, right, Like, the level will be higher.

1258
01:00:56.320 --> 01:00:58.639
<v Speaker 3>Or is it just that, like now that they're putting

1259
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:03.519
<v Speaker 3>incentives for people actually to push past whatever, right like

1260
01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:05.840
<v Speaker 3>the new title or mount or whatever? It was like,

1261
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:07.519
<v Speaker 3>is it just that you're seeing people that have never

1262
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>pushed high mythic plus try to push into higher mythic

1263
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:12.400
<v Speaker 3>plus and therefore obviously there's some growing pains with that.

1264
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:12.599
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

1265
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Is it not that I think that's a large part

1266
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:18.159
<v Speaker 2>of it. You're definitely right about that, but also like

1267
01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they're even up there is kind of

1268
01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>crazy to begin with, Like you shouldn't expect to see

1269
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:27.679
<v Speaker 2>these people in eighteen or twenties.

1270
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>That is something that people have been complaining about since

1271
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>n plus has come out. Rights, like the nubes in

1272
01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>my key level that shouldn't be here.

1273
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just gotten worse. Yeah, like it's always gonna be

1274
01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>a thing, like there will always be nubes in your grooves,

1275
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Like that's just how it is. But it's certainly gotten

1276
01:01:42.400 --> 01:01:46.440
<v Speaker 2>worse and I've certainly seen a lot more complaints about it.

1277
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like how like in Fellowship, you have

1278
01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>a certain expectation before you advance a league, right, like

1279
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>you gotta be the high skill level. Yeah, you have

1280
01:01:56.199 --> 01:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>to actually like be competent enough to be able to

1281
01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:01.199
<v Speaker 2>clear sith Thrill's fall against the Eternal.

1282
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>But there isn't really power without mentioning fellowships. So does.

1283
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Fellowship has something that I think would maybe negatively impact Wow,

1284
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:15.159
<v Speaker 3>which is that once you get to Eternal and Fellowship,

1285
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:18.719
<v Speaker 3>what he's referring to is everything like all these mobs

1286
01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>gained like literally every enemy gains a mechanic and bosses

1287
01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:23.679
<v Speaker 3>gain a mechanic, and I feel like that would actually

1288
01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:25.800
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't that make the problem you're referring to right now

1289
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:28.639
<v Speaker 3>like infinitely worse. Like people get to this level they

1290
01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:31.559
<v Speaker 3>weren't at before, and then not only are they should

1291
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:33.559
<v Speaker 3>they not be here, but also now they're all the

1292
01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:36.400
<v Speaker 3>bobs have mechanics they couldn't have possibly learned before, and

1293
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:37.320
<v Speaker 3>now you're dealing with this.

1294
01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I think it's also fine. Like I think

1295
01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>it's fine to fail. It's just people are too afraid

1296
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:44.320
<v Speaker 2>of failure.

1297
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:49.039
<v Speaker 1>It's fine when I fail because I'm learning a mechanic

1298
01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's fun. But if somebody else in my group

1299
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>fails because they're learning the mechanic's like they're wasting my

1300
01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>time being nubes in my key level and they presumably

1301
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>bought a boost from Max to get the IoT, you know,

1302
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:08.679
<v Speaker 1>is polluting my my group finder experience. So that's that's

1303
01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>my take on this one.

1304
01:03:11.519 --> 01:03:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just the premise of do you think easier

1305
01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.440
<v Speaker 3>seasons will cause issues a while on the long term?

1306
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I would also think though that like, you know, like

1307
01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:20.920
<v Speaker 3>didn't people do record numbers of mythic plus this season?

1308
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:24.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, so is it gonna hurt Wow, that just

1309
01:03:24.679 --> 01:03:26.519
<v Speaker 3>more people are interacting with keys and they happen to

1310
01:03:26.519 --> 01:03:29.440
<v Speaker 3>be slightly easier. I think just the volume is actually

1311
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:32.960
<v Speaker 3>a plus, honestly, because I think if you look at

1312
01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:34.679
<v Speaker 3>the opposite way, where you make stuff way harder, I

1313
01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>think less people interact with it, and people are not

1314
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:39.199
<v Speaker 3>getting better at the game because they're spending less time

1315
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:39.599
<v Speaker 3>doing it.

1316
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1317
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:43.719
<v Speaker 2>I've actually heard um TV talk about this, Like I

1318
01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>remember talking about this with THEILM and he said something

1319
01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:49.159
<v Speaker 2>along the lines of like wild numbers are up right

1320
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:51.519
<v Speaker 2>now when it's obviously great that a lot of people

1321
01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.519
<v Speaker 2>are engaging with this. Is this sustainable and is this

1322
01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen in the long term? Is the goals not

1323
01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>just going to move where it's like, oh well, I mean.

1324
01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:04.519
<v Speaker 1>It's to get easier every season. Yeah, a card game,

1325
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>right where you know each set needs to be stronger

1326
01:04:07.639 --> 01:04:10.519
<v Speaker 1>than the last one to keep the the ramp going

1327
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>in the right direction.

1328
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:13.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like, like we said before, with card games,

1329
01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:17.280
<v Speaker 3>there is never a perfect thing, Like you could create

1330
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:18.800
<v Speaker 3>the perfect version of the game and it would have

1331
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:20.840
<v Speaker 3>to change because things can't stay the same. So like,

1332
01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:22.760
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's just like goes in a cycle. Bro, Maybe

1333
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:23.880
<v Speaker 3>we just get affixes again.

1334
01:04:24.679 --> 01:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, bring back keys depleting no resilient keys, h affixes,

1335
01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>seasonal affixes.

1336
01:04:33.239 --> 01:04:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the little Throwbacks is coming back.

1337
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Classic, Classical Legion M plus. That's a dude. I'm excited.

1338
01:04:41.159 --> 01:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to see where they go with where they

1339
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>go with Classic. I bet we'll find out. I was gone,

1340
01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>what the what the vibe is going to be? I

1341
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I have you guys been following the like

1342
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>League Classic uh saga, it's it. People have been comparing

1343
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it more to like Season of Discovery, Yeah, where it's

1344
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>like it's like launching, but it's not really a version

1345
01:04:58.400 --> 01:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>of the game that ever existed. It's it's like kind

1346
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>of Classic inspired Classic, you know, reminiscent, but it's like

1347
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a set of champions that are kind of durated to

1348
01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like classic rather than a specific timestamp. And yeah,

1349
01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>like some mechanics are the old ones and some mechanics

1350
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:14.559
<v Speaker 1>are the new ones.

1351
01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:18.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like they're trying to do the Yeah, Blizzard

1352
01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:20.760
<v Speaker 3>went with the like full, let's do Classic, well not

1353
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:23.440
<v Speaker 3>full because like I guess they they chose a like

1354
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:26.039
<v Speaker 3>later balance patch in the expansion to be the balance

1355
01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:30.000
<v Speaker 3>for or whatever. Yeah, so there was like some stuff

1356
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:33.280
<v Speaker 3>with that, but uh yeah, I don't know I could

1357
01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:35.320
<v Speaker 3>They're they were like, well, we did make a lot

1358
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:37.679
<v Speaker 3>of good decisions from then until now. We could apply

1359
01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:40.159
<v Speaker 3>a few of those and maybe have this be more curated.

1360
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:45.360
<v Speaker 3>But the problem is is that directly contradicts like nostalgia right,

1361
01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Like a lot of times people aren't necessarily looking to

1362
01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:49.000
<v Speaker 3>go back and play like the best game ever. They

1363
01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:50.480
<v Speaker 3>want to play the game they played when they were

1364
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:53.480
<v Speaker 3>a kid and really happy, so like they may not

1365
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:57.039
<v Speaker 3>like things being different at all, even if they have

1366
01:05:57.360 --> 01:05:58.480
<v Speaker 3>like good thought behind it.

1367
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty disappointed by the Classic League, even though, like

1368
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I now I know how the Classic andies feel because

1369
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:11.239
<v Speaker 2>as someone who played the shit out of Old League

1370
01:06:11.280 --> 01:06:18.039
<v Speaker 2>back in like twenty eleven twenty tive, it's definitely I mean,

1371
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I'll probably wasn't planning on playing it anyways, because I'm

1372
01:06:20.639 --> 01:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>not really feeling the league in my life, but the

1373
01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:26.840
<v Speaker 2>idea of it being there would have been really fucking

1374
01:06:26.840 --> 01:06:28.880
<v Speaker 2>cool too, possibly entertained.

1375
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I have, like, I have very little interested in playing

1376
01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Classic League either. One thing I do like about it

1377
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:36.679
<v Speaker 1>is they're kind of doing that like old school RuneScape

1378
01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:39.039
<v Speaker 1>thing where they're going to do community votes on stuff

1379
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and take the input that way, which I do. I

1380
01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:43.519
<v Speaker 1>do think that's a good way to make it so

1381
01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:47.079
<v Speaker 1>that even if you kind of initially land in a

1382
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>place that people don't like, at least the people that

1383
01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>like stick with it and are excited about it will

1384
01:06:51.360 --> 01:06:54.400
<v Speaker 1>probably be happy about like the continued direction if you

1385
01:06:54.480 --> 01:06:58.639
<v Speaker 1>keep doing stuffy by votes and things. So yeah, I

1386
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I'm watching with interest, but also not that

1387
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:04.039
<v Speaker 1>much interest. They've been pushing all these like show matches

1388
01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:07.079
<v Speaker 1>and stuff that I just don't have too much interest

1389
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:10.119
<v Speaker 1>in watching. You know, the league bros from ten years

1390
01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:14.199
<v Speaker 1>ago played Classic League against each other. As somebody who

1391
01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>watches like a lot of Modern League whenever it's.

1392
01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I totally get that. It's just nostalgia, bab bro, Like

1393
01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:22.920
<v Speaker 3>they're just they're trying to advertise their things so they

1394
01:07:22.920 --> 01:07:25.719
<v Speaker 3>can make money, and they are, Yeah, they were, like, dude,

1395
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:28.599
<v Speaker 3>you remember when you watched like Double Lift and Wild

1396
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:31.079
<v Speaker 3>Turtle And I'm just thinking of random game venue from

1397
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:33.480
<v Speaker 3>back then, play league, like holy fuck, that's happening again.

1398
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:35.960
<v Speaker 3>And then and and maybe you will go on and

1399
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:38.920
<v Speaker 3>you're excited. I get it. That's smart marketing. Honestly, I

1400
01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:39.719
<v Speaker 3>bet people like that.

1401
01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm just me personally, doesn't hit me, but I agree.

1402
01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like I I get why they're doing it, and

1403
01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:50.519
<v Speaker 1>I bet it works anyway. That's kind of all the

1404
01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:53.159
<v Speaker 1>stuff plus the plus and bonus that I hadn't thought

1405
01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of for us talk about this week either. You guys

1406
01:07:56.320 --> 01:07:58.079
<v Speaker 1>got any other topics, but.

1407
01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I got one. Uh. I'm going to my uh

1408
01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:09.679
<v Speaker 3>my nephew's graduation. He's graduating high school or has graduated

1409
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:12.679
<v Speaker 3>high school, and I'm going to his party, uh, flying

1410
01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:18.479
<v Speaker 3>there tomorrow. What do you like? What is a graduation gift?

1411
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:20.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, what's the what's the what's the vibe with that?

1412
01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:22.199
<v Speaker 3>Have you guys ever interacted with that?

1413
01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:26.039
<v Speaker 1>A Crisp one hundred dollars bill?

1414
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:29.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? That, I mean that makes the most sense to me.

1415
01:08:29.159 --> 01:08:31.079
<v Speaker 3>That's an easy thing. I just don't know if you're

1416
01:08:31.079 --> 01:08:36.239
<v Speaker 3>supposed to like get all creative and ship Actually no, Nah,

1417
01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:39.880
<v Speaker 3>you're totally right. Like, if you're an eighteen year old,

1418
01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:42.920
<v Speaker 3>what do you want more than anything else? Bro A

1419
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:45.760
<v Speaker 3>fucking nice CRISP one hundred dollars bill would kind of

1420
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:51.199
<v Speaker 3>go insane. That's like, that's about it worth your a year.

1421
01:08:52.920 --> 01:08:53.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1422
01:08:53.359 --> 01:08:56.279
<v Speaker 2>One hundred bucks is nothing nowadays, man, Like back in

1423
01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:59.239
<v Speaker 2>back when I was eighteen, get a hundred bucks, Holy fuck,

1424
01:08:59.239 --> 01:09:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I we didn't see. But like nowadays, yeah, I.

1425
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Mean it still buys you roughly the same amount of

1426
01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:08.800
<v Speaker 3>video game that that bought you back in the day.

1427
01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Like they've gotten to like get a physical copy anymore.

1428
01:09:11.960 --> 01:09:13.479
<v Speaker 3>Like that's the one thing that I wonder if it

1429
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:16.479
<v Speaker 3>is ever going to affect the video game industry that like,

1430
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:20.000
<v Speaker 3>basically games used to be sixty dollars. Now they're still

1431
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:22.680
<v Speaker 3>mostly sixty dollars triple A releases, but they also like

1432
01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:25.840
<v Speaker 3>are sometimes like seventy or eighty or whatever. But the

1433
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:29.159
<v Speaker 3>cost of creating those games has tripled. And I don't

1434
01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:32.479
<v Speaker 3>really know how that makes sense, Like how how they

1435
01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:33.359
<v Speaker 3>still make.

1436
01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:37.439
<v Speaker 2>The amount of gamers is significantly higher. I remember reading

1437
01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:40.239
<v Speaker 2>somewhere about there's like twenty times more gamers, maybe even more.

1438
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember exactly how much. Oh yeah, maybe it's

1439
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>that there are significantly more gamers.

1440
01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:48.520
<v Speaker 3>How many copies of Grand Theft Auto six do you

1441
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:49.399
<v Speaker 3>think are going to sell?

1442
01:09:50.560 --> 01:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh, dude, probably like a billion or something.

1443
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:57.479
<v Speaker 3>Bro, They're not going to sell a billion copies of

1444
01:09:57.520 --> 01:09:59.359
<v Speaker 3>that game, that would be do didn't you imagine if

1445
01:09:59.399 --> 01:09:59.840
<v Speaker 3>one at a.

1446
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:05.239
<v Speaker 1>The game, Holy, how many GTA five copies sold?

1447
01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, read it some crazy amount.

1448
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Like okay, in the low hundreds of millions, and that's

1449
01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>over like long years, right.

1450
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, but build that hype.

1451
01:10:22.039 --> 01:10:24.520
<v Speaker 3>And I mean it's going it's going to be the

1452
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:26.079
<v Speaker 3>highest selling game of all time.

1453
01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Maybe one hundred billion a month or something.

1454
01:10:28.359 --> 01:10:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Basically, I don't think there's a number. If like, okay,

1455
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:34.119
<v Speaker 3>if I fast forward in time, it's a month after

1456
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:35.760
<v Speaker 3>it came out and I read an article that's like,

1457
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>it's sold this many copies, I don't know if there's

1458
01:10:37.920 --> 01:10:41.000
<v Speaker 3>a number, or if there is a number, that would

1459
01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:44.239
<v Speaker 3>surprise me. It's really really high, right, A billion would

1460
01:10:44.239 --> 01:10:48.239
<v Speaker 3>be kind of fucking there's holy half billion, half I

1461
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:49.479
<v Speaker 3>mean even half a billion.

1462
01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>That in one every one person who ever bought g

1463
01:10:53.960 --> 01:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>T A five, two people are going to buy GTA six.

1464
01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>That's fucking I mean that that usually happens with a

1465
01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:05.880
<v Speaker 2>crazy amount of additional people decide to play any series,

1466
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>especially with like how much hype it's built up.

1467
01:11:10.119 --> 01:11:13.199
<v Speaker 3>What's the lure behind that? Is it not launching with

1468
01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:16.880
<v Speaker 3>uh with online? Is that the is that? What I

1469
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:18.039
<v Speaker 3>remember reading.

1470
01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Something about having to buy extra for something that on

1471
01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the own.

1472
01:11:22.640 --> 01:11:25.079
<v Speaker 1>There was something about the like I saw a meme

1473
01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that was like how the shopkeepers look at you and

1474
01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:29.399
<v Speaker 1>GTA six if you didn't buy the Ultra Premium edition,

1475
01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>then there's like some yeah, the content that's gated behind that.

1476
01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that was just speculation or if

1477
01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>that's been announced.

1478
01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I guess that would deter a ton of people

1479
01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:42.560
<v Speaker 2>from actually playing, So I take that.

1480
01:11:42.840 --> 01:11:45.319
<v Speaker 3>I think that you think so, But like I think

1481
01:11:45.359 --> 01:11:47.359
<v Speaker 3>they're being really frugal and they want people to buy

1482
01:11:47.359 --> 01:11:51.399
<v Speaker 3>the Giga Ultimate Edition because they think people will, you know,

1483
01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:54.079
<v Speaker 3>like you can get mad at them and be like like, yo,

1484
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:56.439
<v Speaker 3>fuck you guys for doing this, but just like you're

1485
01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:58.960
<v Speaker 3>gonna buy it, So like how much can you really

1486
01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:01.159
<v Speaker 3>blame them for it? They're they're offering a price that

1487
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:03.199
<v Speaker 3>people are willing to pay. It makes sense.

1488
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's actually so insane though, Like every time

1489
01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:09.479
<v Speaker 2>they release the new trailer or some shit, they get

1490
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:15.039
<v Speaker 2>an absurd amount of views within like twelve hours.

1491
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's gonna go crazy when

1492
01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>it when it comes out. I like every other game

1493
01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:24.239
<v Speaker 1>is moving to avoid releasing anything.

1494
01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Every game is releasing September.

1495
01:12:28.239 --> 01:12:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it's gonna be What other game do you

1496
01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:35.039
<v Speaker 3>think would be that massive in the gaming industry?

1497
01:12:38.119 --> 01:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I don't think.

1498
01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:44.199
<v Speaker 3>I think I think like the successor to elden Ring,

1499
01:12:44.359 --> 01:12:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I think might also be Like I think it's a

1500
01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:52.079
<v Speaker 3>more hardcore gamer maybe than like I think gtaight just

1501
01:12:52.119 --> 01:12:55.000
<v Speaker 3>has like such wide appeal that I mean, it's probably

1502
01:12:55.159 --> 01:12:57.239
<v Speaker 3>just gonna always be the most best selling game of

1503
01:12:57.279 --> 01:12:58.920
<v Speaker 3>all time, probably if they.

1504
01:12:58.840 --> 01:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Hadn't released a Maddens It's like twenty twelve Madden twenty

1505
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:02.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven.

1506
01:13:03.159 --> 01:13:05.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but like that's just like.

1507
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it seems like cod like no one really gives

1508
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:10.079
<v Speaker 2>a shit, Like it's just yeah, yeah, It's like it's

1509
01:13:10.079 --> 01:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>like a new iPhone, Like wow.

1510
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't think I know a single person that

1511
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:17.159
<v Speaker 3>won't play GTA six.

1512
01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Like crazy, I like kind of don't really give a

1513
01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>shit about GTA six.

1514
01:13:22.319 --> 01:13:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Br I think it's gonna be so insane.

1515
01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:28.439
<v Speaker 2>I never really fully played GTAs, Like I've played Vice

1516
01:13:28.479 --> 01:13:31.159
<v Speaker 2>City and San Andreas, but like I kind of just

1517
01:13:31.159 --> 01:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>fucked around on when never actually like played them.

1518
01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like just drive around.

1519
01:13:35.640 --> 01:13:38.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think like a lot of decent amount

1520
01:13:38.159 --> 01:13:39.880
<v Speaker 3>of people are just gonna buy it just to drink

1521
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:42.119
<v Speaker 3>beers on their couch and just like run someone over

1522
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:44.800
<v Speaker 3>with a car and be like and then drink their

1523
01:13:44.840 --> 01:13:48.760
<v Speaker 3>beer and keep going. You know, like I don't even

1524
01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:50.520
<v Speaker 3>know what that deep. I mean, obviously there's a lot

1525
01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:52.560
<v Speaker 3>of like story, andyes, I bet the story is good.

1526
01:13:52.560 --> 01:13:54.279
<v Speaker 3>They've spent a million years on it.

1527
01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm sure. Like I think I played through most

1528
01:13:56.960 --> 01:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of the story at GTA five and I remember enjoying it,

1529
01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:00.239
<v Speaker 1>but I also don't remember what happened.

1530
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:04.199
<v Speaker 3>So yeah. Also, I think another thing is like they

1531
01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:07.920
<v Speaker 3>seem to be pitching like ground baking breaking graphics. Like

1532
01:14:07.960 --> 01:14:09.960
<v Speaker 3>it's like, you know, you're gonna like see a game

1533
01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:12.640
<v Speaker 3>that's never looked quite like this. But also personally, I'm

1534
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:14.720
<v Speaker 3>someone that that that doesn't affect me at all. I

1535
01:14:14.760 --> 01:14:17.680
<v Speaker 3>have like a bulletproof shield against like graphics ever mattering.

1536
01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:20.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like, basically it's capped out somewhere in the mid

1537
01:14:20.600 --> 01:14:22.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty tens to where every game just looks good enough

1538
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:25.439
<v Speaker 3>and that's fine, and how much farther it goes past

1539
01:14:25.439 --> 01:14:27.880
<v Speaker 3>that has Maybe this will change that but no game

1540
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.079
<v Speaker 3>has ever made me feel that way. I've never been like,

1541
01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:32.560
<v Speaker 3>holy fuck, it's just like game play.

1542
01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh I got the sweatdrops glistening off of this characters.

1543
01:14:37.039 --> 01:14:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Well I feel that that's probably more true nowadays too,

1544
01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:41.640
<v Speaker 2>because like I'll think about, like, you know, like kids

1545
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:44.079
<v Speaker 2>they play shit like fucking Fortnite in Minecraft and all that.

1546
01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:45.800
<v Speaker 2>That's what they grew up on. Like, I don't think

1547
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:48.640
<v Speaker 2>kids give a shit about graphics. I think for us,

1548
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:50.159
<v Speaker 2>when we were growing up, it was kind of like

1549
01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>we were seeing the evolution of graphics and it was

1550
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>really fucking cool, right, Like we went from like you know,

1551
01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>like Half Life two and then like when Drop like

1552
01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:01.359
<v Speaker 2>that was creazy. Yeah, holy shit, Yeah I was a

1553
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:03.520
<v Speaker 2>big one, and then like you know, eventually we got

1554
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:07.159
<v Speaker 2>like cyberpunk and stuff, and it was fucking crazy seeing

1555
01:15:07.159 --> 01:15:09.560
<v Speaker 2>that evolution. But like for a lot of these kids,

1556
01:15:09.560 --> 01:15:11.720
<v Speaker 2>they kind of take it for granted. And I don't

1557
01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:15.640
<v Speaker 2>know how much the newer audience, the newer generation gives

1558
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:18.479
<v Speaker 2>a shit about graphics in video games.

1559
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, you did mention one thing where it's like, okay,

1560
01:15:21.560 --> 01:15:23.079
<v Speaker 3>well they're used to like Fortnite and stuff like that.

1561
01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Have you noticed that like most like popular mobile games

1562
01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:29.920
<v Speaker 3>also end up doing the like really bubbly animation Fortnite thing. Yeah,

1563
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:33.680
<v Speaker 3>it's actually funny because the like that entire generation, which

1564
01:15:33.720 --> 01:15:36.199
<v Speaker 3>is also the generation that loves mobile games, they are

1565
01:15:36.319 --> 01:15:38.640
<v Speaker 3>just used to that. Like maybe they didn't grow up

1566
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:40.920
<v Speaker 3>in the era like when we were growing up, uh,

1567
01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:44.880
<v Speaker 3>we games were like trying to look more realistic, and

1568
01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:47.439
<v Speaker 3>if you remember those games, initially they did not look

1569
01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:49.479
<v Speaker 3>realistic at all, and we were inching closer and closer

1570
01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:51.960
<v Speaker 3>that and that was really cool. But these a lot

1571
01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:55.680
<v Speaker 3>of these dudes have been born since, like games have

1572
01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:58.279
<v Speaker 3>kind of just been looking really good since they were born,

1573
01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:00.479
<v Speaker 3>and that probably doesn't interest them as much the like

1574
01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:03.359
<v Speaker 3>road to realism like we went through. I think. I

1575
01:16:03.399 --> 01:16:05.399
<v Speaker 3>think it's more like they're they're okay in like the

1576
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>video game cartoony world, because you know, they weren't a

1577
01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:12.359
<v Speaker 3>part of that road, I think, and that they won't

1578
01:16:12.359 --> 01:16:14.079
<v Speaker 3>That's why all those apps look like that, because they

1579
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:16.399
<v Speaker 3>literally prefer that they won't play the game that looks

1580
01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:19.199
<v Speaker 3>like the old school Diablo too looking as shit that

1581
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:20.840
<v Speaker 3>like we would look at and be like, oh, this

1582
01:16:20.880 --> 01:16:22.840
<v Speaker 3>is nice, you know, because we're used to it. You

1583
01:16:22.880 --> 01:16:23.560
<v Speaker 3>grew up with it.

1584
01:16:24.239 --> 01:16:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's fucking boomer beat.

1585
01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, I will say I'm a little worried about

1586
01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Elder Scroll six. It's uh, I don't know, as somebody

1587
01:16:35.039 --> 01:16:37.359
<v Speaker 1>who loves that that franchise. You guys brought it up earlier.

1588
01:16:37.359 --> 01:16:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I think like Starfield sucked. Fall Out four I think

1589
01:16:41.680 --> 01:16:44.319
<v Speaker 1>was worse than Fallouts three in New Vegas and stuff.

1590
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Fall Out seventy six was h was weird. I don't know,

1591
01:16:48.479 --> 01:16:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little worried about Elder Scroll six. I think

1592
01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that one it's got a lot of the expectations on it.

1593
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:55.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I ever played a game in

1594
01:16:55.239 --> 01:16:58.520
<v Speaker 3>this universe, what is what? What is another Elder Scrolls game?

1595
01:16:58.560 --> 01:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Is that like Skyrim, Skyries, Skyriman Oblivion and more Wind

1596
01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>where the the last three in the series. Yeah, the

1597
01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:11.640
<v Speaker 1>ones that came out while I was alive. Yeah, it's

1598
01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>like the you know, like first person or third person

1599
01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>RPG where you've got like combat but it's not it's

1600
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:17.199
<v Speaker 1>not hard combat really.

1601
01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah exactly, that's probably why.

1602
01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like, you know, like it's like branching ways

1603
01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>that you can you kind of have your character that

1604
01:17:28.760 --> 01:17:30.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe you're a mage, or you make yourself

1605
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like a stealth archer, or you make yourself like a warrior.

1606
01:17:32.600 --> 01:17:34.279
<v Speaker 1>You make yourself a stealth archer. I make myself a

1607
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>stealth archer invariably every playthrough because it's like the best.

1608
01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you'll then you like, you know, you kind

1609
01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of decide like how you're gonna deal with all these

1610
01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>that you have these like, oh, I've got all my

1611
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>little skills, I got my lock picking, I got my speech,

1612
01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I got my various and you put your points in

1613
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:51.479
<v Speaker 1>different ones and then it's like a lot of quests

1614
01:17:51.479 --> 01:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>can be solved with different combinations of those or you know,

1615
01:17:54.840 --> 01:17:58.479
<v Speaker 1>brute force, and you can side with the blue guys

1616
01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:00.159
<v Speaker 1>or the red guys. And then oh, you do your

1617
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>second play through and you side with the other guys

1618
01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and you see what the story is like if you

1619
01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>do that right, and that it's very much not Yeah,

1620
01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:08.479
<v Speaker 1>I think you would get almost nothing out of it.

1621
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:11.880
<v Speaker 1>So even if Elders Girl six is good, I bet

1622
01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't like it. But I probably like Starfield was

1623
01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the most recent like triple A big release game, and

1624
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:20.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody's kind of just memory hold it because it just sucked.

1625
01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>It was like not good combat and also not good story,

1626
01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and like the procedurally generated worlds were all super bland

1627
01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:30.119
<v Speaker 1>and boring and empty.

1628
01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:37.039
<v Speaker 2>So I have heard Starfield is really solid now, I

1629
01:18:37.079 --> 01:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>mean i've.

1630
01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Seen been updating it, but I have I heard that

1631
01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:42.479
<v Speaker 1>it was still bad. I do want to play it

1632
01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:44.439
<v Speaker 1>at some point if it is good, though, Dude, I.

1633
01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Have a I have a dilemma with Starfield, where like,

1634
01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:49.640
<v Speaker 3>it seems like the perfect game to play on my

1635
01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:52.359
<v Speaker 3>couch with my dogs. My girlfriend's like working on a

1636
01:18:52.399 --> 01:18:54.199
<v Speaker 3>puzzle on the other side of the room, and I'm

1637
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:56.079
<v Speaker 3>just like just slamming it and not really caring. But

1638
01:18:56.119 --> 01:18:58.760
<v Speaker 3>the only problem is, if you've ever played any kind

1639
01:18:58.800 --> 01:19:02.720
<v Speaker 3>of FPS with a house, shooting with a controller is

1640
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:07.239
<v Speaker 3>like unholy, sacrilegious and terrible. So I just don't want

1641
01:19:07.279 --> 01:19:09.199
<v Speaker 3>to do that. But I also don't want to be

1642
01:19:09.319 --> 01:19:11.880
<v Speaker 3>in my room on my computer playing Starfield because that

1643
01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:15.359
<v Speaker 3>doesn't fit the vibe and those two things just don't mix,

1644
01:19:16.039 --> 01:19:16.960
<v Speaker 3>and it bothers me.

1645
01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1646
01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I play God as a on console.

1647
01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:26.439
<v Speaker 3>I would never play an FPS with a controller. No,

1648
01:19:26.560 --> 01:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm no, I'm a follower of the Lord.

1649
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean that's pretty base, but that's kind of

1650
01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:33.600
<v Speaker 2>crazy easy, dude.

1651
01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:36.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've played a FBS on a controller. Yeah,

1652
01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I played ARPGs and stuff.

1653
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:40.880
<v Speaker 2>On no CODs. You guys have played cod back in like.

1654
01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I just played on my computer. Mess. I mean I

1655
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:44.479
<v Speaker 1>used to, like back in twenty thirteen or whatever.

1656
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

1657
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:48.199
<v Speaker 1>On the controller. But I don't think I could go back.

1658
01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:51.199
<v Speaker 3>Dude, playing FPS games on a controller disgusts me.

1659
01:19:51.399 --> 01:19:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Like, actually, I agree, but like figure you guys would

1660
01:19:55.000 --> 01:19:56.079
<v Speaker 2>have some experience with a leet.

1661
01:19:57.319 --> 01:19:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I have in my lifetime. I have,

1662
01:19:59.359 --> 01:20:01.439
<v Speaker 1>But I also no, actually that's not true when I've

1663
01:20:01.479 --> 01:20:01.720
<v Speaker 1>heard it.

1664
01:20:01.800 --> 01:20:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Got we When I got the Nintendo Wii I as

1665

1666
01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Maybe is that a Is that a game?

1667
01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like it?

1668
01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I have like a black and white yeah, bro, yeah

1669
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:17.039
<v Speaker 3>I had that. I got that on the Nintendo Wii,

1670
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:18.640
<v Speaker 3>and I don't even really remember how that worked. I

1671
01:20:18.640 --> 01:20:20.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I was like swinging my little sword

1672
01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:24.399
<v Speaker 3>at whatever or pointing my ship at the screen.
