I
Yo, hello, hello, hello, I have no fucking time man. Oh
Oh my god, I just I'm live early because I'm short on time out here, man. I
Told you on September was fucking nuts. It's completely cooked. Oh
So I
Have an interview or podcast. I don't know with Jordy
They're the one behind making that big classic survey
And we're gonna talk about
World of or Warcraft forever weird name
I'm gonna talk a bunch about that and then as soon as that interview was done
I have a scheduled no pixel like I need to log in for some rp shit
I still got to play the Warcraft 3 campaign. I haven't gotten around to that
I've got a poker tournament coming up. I have fucking coaching session tomorrow
Yeah, it's just a lot busy busy busy
Are you playing the beta in three days? Yeah, I bet is in three fucking days
You don't know how to play poker
It's I do know how to play poker
And I signed up for this tournament, you know, like four or five months ago
I'm like, yeah, sure. Fuck it. I think the I'm not I am
I'm not being paid to play but the potential winnings are in sanity
I think I have to 1v1 XQC and if I win that I get $50,000
Just for that if I lose I get nothing
And then as soon as I beat Felix I will
I
Think I go to like the next round
And I think I can go up like 200k. I think like first place is getting 500 fucking grand
It's absolutely absurd. So it is like a sponsored thing. So because of that, I have a requirement to do a one-hour coaching session with
What's their name?
If any poker players are in this chat, you may know them. I put them in my phone is Garrett poker
Fuck what's his name?
Garrett Adelstein
John poker. Yeah Garrett Adelstein. I have a one-hour or coaching session with him tomorrow
So that's scheduled. I don't know if I'm saying that right
How much knowledge so I can't actually talk about
Everything I knew about
Classic Plus I can't talk about that
Got that confirmed green lit. Yeah, I knew classic plus was happening and it sucked
knowing
No, it fucking it ruled. I'm not gonna lie. It was an awesome experience getting brought behind the curtain
But what sucked is I knew classic plus was happening and everyone knew that I knew
That was where the fucking problem was. Oh
Everyone knew and I'm sitting here like I want to talk about classic plus man
I'm so fucking pumped about this and I want to talk about it
But everything I say because everyone knows that I know is taken so
differently
So I'm like I just can't even talk about it and then I look at videos of Zaryu talking about classic plus
I'm like this fuckers larping man. He's fucking larping and it's awkward
I'm not gonna do that
So that's yeah, I mean I can talk about I can't get like I can actually talk about most of the trip
Going to blizzcon, but my interview with Jordy or podcast. I don't know
I told him I only had two hours, and he was like only two hours. I'm like I can go life earlier because I have a schedule
gtrp thing at like three
CST so that's why I'm here early to give him another hour. So three hours
That's not an interview. That's a podcast
Is our you literally had me convinced with his porn acting I mean
Yeah, I guess I don't know
But yeah, no, it was it was really cool getting brought behind the curtain to have known about classic plus it was it was actually
Really cool. I had like a moment where I was in the showers
Or I was in showers. I was in my shower Vicky also got to go to but she ended up feeling sick, which sucked
but I was in the shower getting ready to go to the Blizzard offices was really early in the morning and
I just had this moment where I was like
I'm like seven years old or whatever. I'm outside wailing caverns
I'm looking at these like a devil saw and they're they've got these weird
Like portraits and their elites. Oh my god. What where does this cavern go and I was sitting there farming these
I had to be full HP. I was waiting on retaliation to be off cooldown
So I could pull another elite without dying. I probably used retail like four times
I was there for hours and then one guy ran by me and he had this glowing red sword
I'm like what and I learned how to inspect a character. I remember doing that hovering over his sword
It was like green. I'd never saw a green weapon before I didn't know what that meant had these stats on it
And then B slaying plus three and I'm like whoa. He's like a fucking Jedi and and
Now I'm back in the showers in the fucking hotel room
About to go to the Blizzard offices to be left behind the curtain of
Classic plus and I was like wow it was a time travel kind of moment for me. So it's really
Cool-ass fucking opportunity. It was so sick
But again, I really fucking hated that everyone knew that I knew
And yeah, they brought us in we got to play the the beta they I
Can't get into too many specifics exactly, but we got to play test the game
You know, we had the sit at the table and all of us talk whole thing and that was pretty fun
I got to see Talb. I got to see hood rich
Um, that was cool went to their Starbucks. I've got a cool Starbucks menu and I can't get into more details than that really
And it was fucking awesome. It was fucking awesome
But back to the point it sucked that everyone knew I knew I don't know who the I think it was are you that started talking on
stream about
Yeah, we're going to the pleasure offices. I'm like, dude
What a misplay and then fucking s fans dumb ass tweets is what are we doing here?
absurd. So, hold on, Jordy just sent me some links. He sent me questions. Discord. Okay,
I'm going to have to set up OBS camera. Hold on, let me get in here, let's figure this out.
Okay, I'm in his Discord channel and then...
Oh my God, it's telling me how to use Video Ninja.
Hello, sir.
Yo, I'm setting up Video Ninja and it will work.
I just have your OBS camera.
Just let me set it up.
Fantastic.
I would take your time.
They look like uh, five or 10. Don't don't rush.
Did you send me the password, by the way, for video ninja?
Don't say it. I'm on stream. I'm on stream.
I do. I'm raw raw raw raw raw raw raw raw raw raw raw.
I'm DMing you ready?
Yeah.
Incredible password.
Crazy.
Can't believe it.
Sometimes the old hits still hit.
OK, I'll be back in like five.
That password's incorrect.
I can't even get that right.
Here we go.
I can't believe you have the password as a slur.
It's crazy.
Listen, it's been a long weekend
and the Marlok's deserve it.
Oh, my God.
I'm just going to make a new one.
I do this.
Are you unsure of the password?
Listen, it was like a second ago.
Okay. He's finding a new slur.
It's been a long weekend.
I don't know if we met, Jared. Nice to meet you, man.
Nice to meet you, brother.
I have to go through my Rolodex of slurs.
Let's do Mer...
This will be the password, but it's not...
The link is not active yet.
So hold on
Okay
Just gonna beat myself over there setting this up. Yeah podcast is starting really soon
Orleans says slur Monday W. Yeah, fuck. Yeah
Did you leave on Saturday did you say to no, I can't wait to talk about this goddamn game finally
I'm ready man, right
I was just talking about how it's been annoying that people knew that I knew and I couldn't say anything sucked
It was the best kept secret in wow true
And I know what an actor than sorry though. I blame Zarya dude. I was talking about how off like I watch Zara
Well, let's just save it. Let's save it. We'll talk about it on there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Okay, once you're up mute your
or mute your video ninja feed
and we're just gonna use the sort of call.
Make sense, been there?
All right.
God, you sound so refreshed.
Yeah, no, I'm great, man.
I left today, I left early.
I did.
You DM'd me, he's like, I'm in the bath, chilling.
It's like getting refreshed.
I'm on the convention floor just crying.
Fine.
OK, where are we?
Are you guys up?
I'm in right now.
Yeah, there's your area.
There we go.
There we go.
God, the new camera looks good.
You like that?
Yeah, it's good.
Hi, quality.
Hello.
Let me see if I can do like a window capture here because it's got to capture stuff from
my stream too since I'm live.
If that's cool.
Of course not.
People seeing the video ninja link isn't a big issue.
The password's the problem, right?
Correct.
I believe so unless.
Okay.
going to drag this on my master hackers in here. I'll crop it out. Okay. Wow, Jerry,
your sister's house is cute. Yeah, thank you. You got the. Is there a full cam for this?
Like when you just bring it on, is there a full screen on video Ninja? A full screen.
Full screen. Well, I mean, but I mean like
Where it hides the answers bar and all that jazz my task. I have no idea. Yeah, I don't think so
This is what it looks like on my screen. Just some setting it
Well, that looks clean man. Oh, yeah, we're for Fesh
God dang, look at this guy
Fesh
Okay, I'm doing my stream up
I
Soda could you record on your end?
What do you mean? So just like a local recording of what?
of
Whatever you're streaming your stream of the VOD will be there. Yeah, we'll the VOD
We're still getting some of the kinks worked out. This is only episode 5.
We just had, I think we just started from we had our G-Way episode and the audio got so scuffed and I spent like 12 hours fixing it.
I did a full podcast episode once and the video got corrupted so we had to LARP and re-roll play the entire two hours again.
Every question had actually was the first time. Yeah, it's cringe.
Oh, probably you would ask us.
Um, okay, okay, okay.
I think we're good.
Uh, the levels look fine.
Do a bit of a clapper.
Um, we'll go for a couple hours.
We don't, we won't, we're all exhausted.
I feel great.
Yeah, well, it's not helping.
Um, do you have the run of show?
No, I have no idea.
And I think, I think you just, just lead it.
Fantastic. Cool. Fantastic.
Yeah.
Okie doke.
And I'll edit all the intros and stuff afterwards to get everything to be a little... yeah.
Let me do one quick...
chatting.
You're not hearing me switch hands with the mic, right?
No, I don't hear you. You're good.
Well, I'll see Harley back there, little Harley.
I saw Harley and I see the picture of Harley. You got that shit.
should that's sick man yeah Harley in the picture is she is wonderful I don't
know I might I might move in here because I live in Texas but I'm thinking
about we come into LA I don't even know why we're in Texas it's just it's hot
man I know it's silly it was hot this weekend too which doesn't help but like
you know I don't like hundred-degree weather from May all the way to November
I went to the island in California recently we had to leave early because it was a hundred degrees even in Cali
Yeah, I know I know it's a guy. You're not wrong. I came here. I was like I was waiting in line. I was like, man, this
This sucks pretty hard. It's not everywhere today. Yeah. Yeah, bro
You're not wrong. Okay, but this dog might be a good influence for me to for me to come here though
Just doing some things and then
Is audio out of sync? Or is it just going to be out of sync for this? It seems a little
like out of sync. It might be a tiny bit, but in the YouTube video we'll just make sure
it's synced fine. Yeah, I got all that taken care of. Sorry about that. I think you just
got a bit of a latency. We also don't have our normal segments because we didn't have
time with was kind of the plenty to do. Yeah.
So, uh, stream, I don't know if y'all heard that, but you guys can probably go to
Jordy stream. There's probably no delay. I really don't care which one you want.
Same thing at the end of the day.
Let's go out there, bud.
It's just J O A R D E E y'all can just go here.
This is how it's gonna be. It's gonna be miserable delays regardless. It is what it is
I'm using the bathroom that we're going. Awesome.
60 seconds.
Alright, timing you.
So, here's what it is.
You're about uh, Jordy's a little little injury.
Yes, I saw him we were hanging out in the line or whatever and he was complaining about something.
I didn't really fully listen because I was trying to get in but what was it?
Yeah. Yeah. So he, uh, you know, you broke his pelvis and his left shoulder on a scooter
accidents. That's right. Okay. Um, and if that happened to me, I would have, I would have lied
and so I got into a fight. I feel like, I feel like scooter accident is not the way you want
to like, I wouldn't tell everybody, Hey man, yeah, I'm broken. You're true. I fell on my scooter,
Bro like 40
Yeah, no, that's unfortunate what kind of fucking like one of the lime scooters that you rent who's on the scooters after that
I did I imagine
He told me how many he told me you just wanted to get you want to get a breath of fresh air
So he wanted a scooter ride. That's what no no there's something else
You don't you don't just say I'm gonna go get on a scooter for nothing. You don't do that
Yeah, when you're in your 40s, how old is Lordy massive dickheads fuck you
I'm sitting there peeing, like raging.
Unfortunately.
No, electric scooter, and there was a steel ploy or whatever, we can start, you know,
we can, yeah, hold on.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
So, I'm going to play the intro, and then we will begin.
Okay.
I'm going to grab a sprite.
Another one.
Yeah.
Come on.
Hi, Jack.
Hi, chat.
Damn, that neon thing's nice.
Okay.
Where is the intro?
Here we go.
Is it time to rename the server the forever project?
No.
Hi, guys.
Everyone from Sodas Chat, what's up?
What's his back will start?
I'm back, sorry, I was talking to my mom.
Say hi for me.
Jordy says hi.
She's such a nice lady now.
Holy fuck, okay.
Alright, I'm doing the intro and then we're going.
Should I mute?
Or is he muting?
Do it later, I just want to check this out.
Guys, welcome to the pole 10 podcast, formerly a classic plus podcast.
Now.
A wow forever podcast, because I guess we have a name finally.
Um, I am on maybe two hours of sleep
Jury also is not the freshest, but we've got the
Gorgeous very elastic soda pop and ready to go
He is he is chilling and we're very excited to have him
We have a camera yet or we were on camera
He's fresh as fuck no, we're good to go
We have so much to talk about we're gonna skip some of the formalities of the podcast usually because this is the I mean what it's been
12 16 hours since the end of
Liz con and there is I'm turning so double-second there is so much to talk about is there um you there is I
Don't know journey. How was your cotton them? We'll we'll listen. We'll get so to the second so
So, short story, I had to buy a new laptop before the convention because Southwest broke
my laptop.
Lady was like, oh, I'll take that and put a new overhead bin for you.
And when she did it, she shoved it so hard, I heard the thud and I was like, I'm sure
it's okay.
And then it wasn't.
And I bought a new one before I had a raid because I'm a fucking loser on Thursday.
Do you have a hard shell case?
Uh, no.
You didn't get a hard shell case, yeah.
Learned the hard shell.
But the convention, yeah, I'm just an idiot.
Convention was awesome. I was at the main stage for the while for our trailer announcement and I don't think I
Will ever be that hyped again for a trailer
I was screaming shouldn't piss and everything was happening and it's been just an amazing convention way better than last times
organizations a lot better to you
Yeah, it was quite the the reveal I think I don't know soda. How are you feeling are you I feel fucking great
We assume you knew some stuff. So was it nice to see it on screen or what everyone knows I knew stuff
So yeah, they brought me and a handful of other streamers and it was it's no fucking secret
We got to get our hands on the game pretty early and then we had to you know try and be quiet
But of course I think S fan did a tweet and Zaryu talked about going to the offices and everyone already kind of knew
Classic plus was happening. So it was really fucking obvious that you know, we knew and now not only do we know
But now everyone knew that we knew so we're just larping on stream
I wonder what it's gonna be. I sure hope we get it
And then yeah, they did the announcement. I even though I knew it's happening. I was still hyped as fuck
I hadn't gotten to see the trailer. I loved how they had that dwarf and the bear walk up and then turn around subtle sick
I love the undead paladin reveal how it's kind of reflecting the warlock in the original trailer subtle
But sick so it was pretty fucking hype. I I'm I left BlizzCon early. I had to get home from for some other shit
I'm well rested and I feel great. I feel awesome. I y'all are not in the same boat as me
It's it's show we are your energy is gonna get us through it. Do you sure like the
reveal lived up to your
Hope or expectations or what do you mean by reveal?
Like the like everything that we saw the moment or just like like did the game live up to what I hope to be
We'll get into the the individual features, but like the the the cinematic and the gameplay trailer that first like
So my 90 minute thing I said the positives about the cinematic and this the the reveal
Yeah, I could feel how hyped everyone was plus
I think people were all sitting there watching the ceremony for Warcraft forever
Well, they didn't know the name at the time
They're just waiting so everything was just blue balls blue balls Diablo's Netflix was sick
Diablo 5 announced Jesus what okay? I was surprising
The Starcraft cinematic was sick and then everything else no offense slopped to me and I could have fast-forward if I yeah
But then we finally got there go ahead
No, sorry, I should I shouldn't have to you but there was a point where me and my my friend were like we okay?
Everything's here. We're crap next off. I forgot this her stone. Damn it. Now the the her stone devs were so energetic
I love how passionate they were and I was like, please man
We just we just want to hear it, but that's the our craft trailer
Yeah, you think you have that main character and that's him, right?
And then he presses the button and just the sludge you oh
Like the audience reaction was just oh you have everyone it was it was kind of what it's supposed to be
It is pretty more hammer 40k ask. I'm pretty sure they made Starcraft Marines off of those
It's based off those guys. So yeah, it's supposed to be
fucked
So I was watching and I'm like and then the sludge came out. I'm like, okay. Nice. Yeah, this is what it's supposed to be
And then they put 2030. I'm like, okay
All right, the 23 but I'm cloud music
Yeah, but it's a little really good answer. I guess it's kind of like one of those things
Why would they announce it this early?
What are they going to do next blizzcon will probably get more trailers maybe some gameplay or who knows
I was reading that a lot of people were arguing that they were announcing
everything they have on their slate as a way to push back against
Any possible layoffs because if they have all these projects that are been announced people expect then Microsoft can't just like
Widely cancel stuff and fire people
So you think there's like some Corpo PVP going on yeah in Microsoft and blizzard yes exactly
fucking stuff could be I think my stream is lagging it'll go away I'm sorry just just
bear with me I can't do anything it'll fix it actually so like that's why the Diablo
5 one I think came out because I don't think they would have announced that probably
Well, I think they also wanted it with Diablo 5, like, we were talking about Diablo for a second.
I think they kind of want to clean the slate with Diablo 4.
It just isn't hitting the way they want it to.
Path of Exile 2 is just shitting on it.
And I think they kind of want to wipe the slate and maybe try again.
The open world didn't hit like they thought it would.
Coming from someone who I played it a lot, and maybe there are some Diablo 4 people that love it.
But I played it a lot, and yeah, the end game just didn't hit the same.
So they just want to say, hey, look, we know, and we're working on it.
Cool, and then we got to Warcraft forever, which is I assume we're gonna talk about that a hell of a lot more
One thing I wish I saw in that trailer more. I wish I saw like the human mage in the infernal
Like we saw the warlock in the powder like the whatever we saw the bear
I wish you know at one point he grabbed a flower. I expected it to be the tarn sprinkling the dust
I have the whole trailer memorized of course. Yeah, I wanted to see that night elf running through the fucking woods or something
So I wanted to see more callbacks to the original trailer rather than the whole new thing. Maybe that's just me
In a reason I just did I interrupt my internet's fucked. I need to reset it. I'm so sorry
Jordan with the french toast man, dude. What am I supposed to do spectrum sucks dick?
And it's been three days since I've been here. So I don't know what they did but I need to
Reset your problem
You know, I would love to shoot them into the sun. So give me like two minutes everybody
And this is a everybody go go say hi to Soto or Jimmy real quick and I'll be right back. So, okay
Well shit now I don't want to say anything because now it's like wasted wasted ammunition
And you got me in the fucking time
Now I got your brother, you know, it's uh, yeah, he's dealing with that spectrum BS for
For a while now, it's unfortunate. They think they got to me for a while in Texas. I'm like, man. It sucks
I know
Probably three streamers. This is streamer bullshit, but they literally pay
$40,000 to get fiber installed in their entire neighborhood because that's how you have to do it
Are you sure damn the whole neighborhood gets the benefits?
But they really just paid 40k to have it for themselves, which in their situation if financially it actually makes sense
Yeah, and I remember
Having this debate at one point I lived in a house
I was not as well off as I was and yeah, I was thinking about getting fiber installed
I think it cost 15k at the time the whole neighborhood would have benefited
You know, they should have thrown me a party or something if I did it, but bad internet in the streaming world
This doesn't work. Yeah. Yeah, I
I don't want to call myself too much just all the time, but I
Was a teacher up until this year. I write for Wowhead and now method
I was a middle school band director. It's hot band to kids who want my stepfather does that literally middle school
Music teacher. Yeah, he's actually over right now. Was he in Texas in Texas? Yeah, I
Got a school, but yeah, I
Wonder if I know him. It's corny. It's a very
I'm freaking out right now. I know I know people
That name small world man. They're crazy. Yeah. No, it really is like I could talk so much shop with him up
I love that. I love my kids too, but I
You know what he teach yeah, I mean did he like the kid is he still do it or he doesn't like the modern
He he doesn't teach anymore
He stopped because he doesn't like the modern teaching of you know kids having phones and the yeah
Just the the modern teaching world is just shit. So you say that he would meant no no no it is
I love my students, but I didn't like the adults. I work with that makes sense like I
Yeah, it's all it's all thing, but right for a while hit and
And all this stuff like, hey, I'm gonna make enough money to try something new.
And with this classic plus game that I may have, may or not have known about earlier,
I was like, maybe that can help out with everything too.
And it's been a blast and if I, this doesn't work out at a year and a half, well, I still
have my teaching certificate.
I'll just teach middle school kids again.
So you, you do band?
I don't, you said you don't want to talk about yourself, but I don't give a
fuck.
It's great.
You play.
Yeah.
Trumpet percussion saxophone and French one trying to learn all those instruments.
Well, it's funny, actually.
I wanted to be a music.
I wanted to be in bands, my friends are being bands, but I actually love music
and I wanted to get to green it because of Russell Brower and wow.
He's was one of the original work music composers.
No way you fucking pivoted this into wow again somehow.
But it's true.
I'm not making this shit.
I'm not making this shit up.
like Russell Brower is the go bro. I was like 12 years old when I made a character in Eversong Woods
and I heard the music and I'm like this is awesome. Who is this? And then you hear his music in
Black Temple, you know Illidan Stormrage. I'm a nerd out of a lot. The first dude to have
his own boss music was Illidan Stormrage and wow. Next was Gunship Battle on Wrath and
It was like I love this. This is cool. I want to play it
I would learn that little warcraft things on my trumpet. How are you and I'm 32 now. It's the same age as me
Okay, so yeah, we're all you must have been like yeah, you were in middle school same as me during that time
That's when you do bad
Yeah, man, were you in bed at all? Yeah, I played clarinet, but I was first chair starting out
But I got demoted because I got staff infection. So they put me to the back of the road
Oh, yeah, bro, band directors, those little benders are so mean.
They're like, hey, that real life thing that's so bad to you.
The fact that you're not fucking practicing your ish right now,
you can't figure it away. Get the fuck back, bro.
You're getting in the shit. It's true.
All right. I think I'm thinking, you know, we hear you. Yeah.
If it walks up again, we're just going to roll through it
because the ball will be fine.
All right. Where did we get?
We got to band somehow. I don't know how we got there.
We got to band and Russell Brown and, you know, the scores of Wow, man.
Sure. Yeah, I think this, speaking of the score, I think that the music for the
cinematic trailer was a miss. It was too soaring. It wasn't dark enough. I wanted
more of like a one-to-one with the old trailer, interspersed with, you know,
some new stuff. That just was a little bit too, I don't know. Yeah, there's the
the word that Disney vacation people say.
I don't like that word, but I do think
right. I like to say to Disney.
Yeah. Yeah.
I it's it's a little it it didn't it wasn't dark enough, I guess,
is what I was hoping for.
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah. OK.
So do you feel like the reveal
and all the things that we saw.
Made it feel like the devs understood us.
Well, that's the thing you say understood us but the reality from what I've very clearly learned and I think people already knew
there's no us there's 5,000 different fucking groups but I do think the music could have been darker and more people it would have been a
Matt Moore AoE of dopamine larger AoE of dopamine if that makes sense more people would have liked it
I should wear it like that. Um
I wish I don't even remember the music to be honest. I only remember the scenes
I couldn't really hear much shit, you know watching in the streaming with the headset they gave me
I think that says something that you don't remember because I think music is so important
um
I I think and I had the same problem with midnight was like no no callback at all to the original motif
is like a huge mess like when you go into the horde section of silver moon and
midnight won't talk was too much you're the old music but you don't hear it in
the new section so that you know remember remind us that this is classic
remind us where we're going again yeah I thought a lot of the critiques were
maybe too harsh you know it's class but I get it you know it's also one of
those things of like stats I think one of the most important things is I want
the game to be popular people can act like well I just I just need to enjoy it no it's an MMO
you want your world to matter and the more it matters to more people the better that's the
truth and I don't understand I want to know like if they were to make the game darker and grimmer
how would that actually affect the stats of the game's popularity would less kids be playing
with the game like I don't know I actually don't know um so I'm a little hesitant on just full on
Gung-ho make it darker even though I would have liked it more personally. I don't know how that should actually plays out
It's one of those things is what what I was dreaming for and all that. I think they're trying to AOE as much as possible
For sure. That's what I think and again. I don't know like what the right answer here is. I'm not gonna act like I do
But me personally I also would have liked it to be darker. That's just me
We were we were talking to Josh right phase last week and he was saying
They need to make the game for the people that they have so they can be
You know carry the message to the new people and they need to make the game that the devs want to play
It's the only way that the game is going to be incredible. So thought that was interesting regardless of what audience they're shooting for so
I mean again trailer is important, but is it that it isn't I go again
I'm talking about the old cinematic from 2004. I can tell you all the details. So maybe it does matter a lot
But is it that important compared to the gameplay and the talents and the actual buttons you press?
It's not comparable, but again, it is a sign. I'm with you on that. I think there is a feeling of like
They get us and I trust them, you know in the future. So I
Think
If the trailer didn't hit I just think the way that all the devs talked at the reveal
I was like they you could see if they care
Yeah, and that they do listen and they love all the references to you know other creators that they threw out there
I could tell like clay Nora Holly like all the ones for the first part. There's like we
Care a lot about this and if we do fuck this up
I think Tim Jones says it's we can take it out
Yeah, if we mess it up it can go away
There's there's clearly some interviews that a lot of people did not watch based on what they're saying online
online because they're like yes people like there's a lot of talking that
happened at BlizzCon that wasn't on that main stage and that info is there
there's interviews out there you can see these devs tell you we're not doing this
I agree maybe we should change like they're they're pretty receptive to
feedback and I'll tell you I they're very receptive feedback they're fucking
great actually love all the devs yeah I agree and I think the panels were
like a massive hit, like a lot of the deep dives
were really, really good.
And they just, I mean, we can get into the individual features
and something, but it was just one after another,
after another of like correct decisions,
which just kind of bolstered my trust.
I have one massive bone to pick, but we can get to it.
Okay, so what we've been told so far,
so to what are your top features
you're looking forward to. Oh man, I thought you were about to say it by top
gripes. I haven't even thought about my favorite things. No, we got that too
after. Don't worry. Okay. My favorite things with Wow Forever, man, I haven't
thought about that because it's more so I have a checklist. I don't have a
favorite and they've hit most of my checklist, I'd say. I really liked it.
maybe they even probably had this in meetings where they were like we should probably say this
they want to unsolve the game i love that yeah when they say i think that's how that's how they
worded is that we're going to we want to unsolve it i think chris was up there saying that i love
that perfect um and they would acknowledge that they recognized that um like they talked about
paladins and i saw the fucking blizzard chat was so unbelievably stupid but um and he was
talking about paladins and saying all the great things and you know he ended his paladin
and speech saying, but you can't do this. You will not be able to kick. You cannot do
this. You will not be good at this. And that made me happy to recognize that. Yes, you have
your strengths and you have your fucking weaknesses. So people were like hearing like Paladins
or OP and then he ended his whole palette and spiel on the deep dive saying you're
not going to be able to do this. Sorry. And that's how it is. And so that was
probably one of my favorite things is recognizing that classic design and recognizing the
modernization of wow and they're again I they're pretty fucking in touch at least
on on that front those are my favorites is the top of my head I think I was most
excited about the the graphics I think they it's not perfect fuck yeah the
graphics were great holy shit your yes that I didn't necessarily expect I know
everybody was talking about it but it was like they didn't have to do that
right and so I thought that was a cool I say they do have to do that I think they
didn't have to do that to make the game great like I think you do classic plus
they didn't have to right like I guess they didn't have to but again like I
remember in 2019 classic a lot of people they would log in and this is how
all games are that you played when you're younger you see them with these
these old nostalgia glasses and you log in and be like did it really look this
bad. It really looked this shitty and there's a charm to the
shittiness and they clearly maintained it. But then they
added the rays of light coming through and then they upped the
water. So they touched at it in a perfect way. And I that's
pretty awesome. I love that. And I'm gonna be honestly, I'd be
kind of upset if it didn't. There's a target. I was talking
to some some retail folk and they're like, why can't we
get some of this stuff? Like, they're retail people like,
Can we can we can we lose the bounce when we move to because we don't like that either. I agree
What I and when Clay brought that up like did he knows we hate the bounce man. They don't want to play wow
How could they not know?
No one likes the balance. I don't know anyone who's playing like dude. I love how much my fear character bounces
No one says that I have a theory that we are the
Gini pig for
Again, right? Yeah, every third we're just we're a test bed
for all these features just being ported over for 14 not for the last Titan
probably but because once they've got all these systems in place they just move
them over and it's done so well removing the bounciness doesn't really
negatively like you can't remove queuing for dungeons in retail but you can
remove the bounciness that's a guarantee lighting and all that stuff so
it's like yeah I mean imagine how beautiful retail do they not have that
lighting. Is this what?
Nope. Interesting.
Yeah. So it would be pretty incredible to see like, I don't know,
some of these beautiful new zones.
Like what's that one zone with the giant blue trees and shadow lands?
Like.
Art in the night.
Yeah. Well, yeah, it would just be incredibly gorgeous.
But I'm sure there's a lot of spaghetti that they have to store.
Well, keep in mind a lot of those pictures are pretty fucking
cherry picked right I really want to know how the game looks when you're
genuinely just walking through it did you finish the five man I can't remember
dude I joined like they had they already wiped like eight times I joined in to
kill one boss but now we I got to see that dungeon already before so at the
end of the five man when you kill the last boss the the clouds art and there
Whereas the sun is in the distance and it reflects off of the water that you're standing
in.
And it's just gorgeous.
Like it's like, I, it was, it was amazing.
And so, yes, it's cherry pick, but it's, it's going to be really nice.
I think.
Oh, it's going to be.
Yeah.
Well, even, even that first dungeon, and I'm, you'll system the demo, I'm pretty
sure of those who don't want spoilers, but when you kill the first boss and
go up the stairs and it shows you the entire rest of the dungeon you have to do, it's like
that's fucking cool. And there was a creator, I'm not going to say his name, he probably
will use the footage in a video, who found a way to get out in the open world during
the demo. And we saw him go to Red Ridge and free, you want to say how it looks in the
open world?
Why don't you just say his name, he posted it. What?
So I didn't I didn't check if you did.
I saw I saw a chat.
That's exactly.
Is that I didn't I didn't know Grace Grace posted a picture.
No, I don't want to be the asshole, whatever.
Yeah, I know there were like there were like a dozen creators upstairs
just trying to break the game.
Yeah, how did they get out?
What was their method?
You left the group and when the timer
splits you to the nearest graveyard, it took you to Stringleton Vale.
I see. So you just abuse the group system.
Yeah. OK. But he saw Red Ridge and it looked fucking awesome.
And I'm watching it with them.
And it's like it looked so everything you can see and like there was parts
when you're in Orgrimmar, if you scroll, if you moved the camera up,
you could see Mount Higel behind Orgrimmar.
That's awesome. That makes me nervous.
I'm not going to lie. The draw distance makes me nervous.
Yeah. Because like you look at the wow, look when you fly over.
Wow, it looks like shit.
Yeah, it does. There's no flying mounts. Thank God. But, you know, it just makes me concerned about the draw distance as well in the same regard.
But again, if they're adding it, it's probably good. Maybe it's just seeing the mountains in the distance. It looks fine rather than flying over it.
Yeah, that's the case.
I mean, it's funny they did like a, like an artificial draw distance a little bit with the fog. So that'll be interesting. Yeah.
Which is a way better way to do it than just like 50 yards in front of you, and it's just gray. So
The more the morphing backgrounds
Yeah, what other features did you like? Did you like the legacy system? Did you like?
Where the classes were at the legacy system? I liked most of them a lot of them have me really concerned
But I had to like stop and think for a bit for example the talents that the one that has me the most concerned is the fact
you can get five talent points five levels earlier or like you can start getting talent points a level five and then you stop at 55
I have can like how's that gonna affect 19 twinking for example and how's that gonna play out for new players that join the game
And you've already leveled your alt you already have the talents and you're doubling their damage because you know early talents are so fucking massive
Yeah, but also it's like
It's a new game so when it comes to the twinking meta, maybe that's good for it
Probably not good for the players, right?
Yeah, also change it exactly. Oh my god, that's my favorite thing is the fact that it's such a weird feeling that yeah, like things
Fixed so I don't give a I stopped giving a shit about TBC or wrath or any of these because at the end of the day
I've seen these raids before and I know what's going to happen
I can tell you on paper what my life would be for the year if I were to play the whole
thing.
It's raid logging this raid, and then I farm this gear, and that's my trinket, and then
I know what's next.
I know this class is going to be the best during this phase.
I can't do anything about it, but now we're at a point where things get changed.
Imagine that.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Updating living game.
Crazy.
So, we don't know what's on the future either.
We don't know what the future's going to look like.
the next raid I don't know do we want to stack locks do we do we want everything
I also really like that in the talents you could see that they removed a lot of
the bullshit talents that made you like a debuff bot and it yeah people can say
it's like well that's what it's fun it's not fun to do that it does it's
playing a druid I know what it's like to be the bitch buff motherfucker I'm only
brought for my improved mark of the wild that's what I'm there for it
It sucks and they removed a lot of most of that
I think they made like shadow priests were just there to buff warlocks. In fact, I think
The meta was to not even bring a shadow priest you bring a healing priest that just puts half their talent points in shadow
There's a bot yeah for yeah the shadow leaving healer. Yeah, it sucks. It doesn't feel good to be put in bitch duty
so they kind of like a
There was a TBC also
There's like the dream state healing druid where you put your full balance, but you're a healer exactly
Stuff like that sucks, but at the same time it's fun to have like
hybrids do lots of things, but I I do think that like with rate sizes being smaller
You can't afford stuff like that. So you have to really yeah a lot of it
And then with the those talents being removed
You have fun
New things you cannot you know what I mean?
My biggest qualm with a lot of that is they spent so much fucking time on Paladin.
I wanted to strangle S-Fan.
Like, I was like, dude, you have... you have... ruined them.
Uh, I mean, uh, Grand also plays Paladin, so we need to... I mean, Jury plays Paladin.
I mean, well, okay. Minus...
Let's see what the whole situation though.
Paladins were probably one of the most needed updated classes in the game.
I don't care. I don't care.
Also brought in undead paladins
To be unbiased that's probably the class you should focus on anything it's not back to warrior go back to
Hunter I want to hear about some interesting shit. I mean, that's fair. Yeah, I think they drew it even there's so much stuff
Druid needs I think like balance drew it and yeah, but it's a druid
They were barrel-holidons.
I had so many people saying they were their main character.
DOA, right?
And that it needs a lot of love.
So I see.
More they say about that, I'm curious.
They were just saying a lot of the power-shifting being gone
and stuff like that is just to be really difficult for them.
I will say there's a reason why the barrel population
was low as fuck.
Yeah.
Even though I got the best rotation,
because people didn't like it much.
I love power-shifting.
I did it.
I didn't even did bear weaving in wrath, but I do think
Yeah, bear we it was that was probably the hardest rotation. I've ever done in wow period even in retail was bear weaving in round
That was actually difficult
Yeah, I mean I am kind of sad to see power shifting gone
but I
Do think other people might actually play the spec now
Should they make the spec for the five feral's that actually played it? I don't know
I was one of the five and I'm sitting there saying that so the sky born
Forms looked incredible. So I bet you that brings a lot of
I noggin Fogger everything. I couldn't give less of a shit to be honest
The owl bear looked so I mean, you're not gonna roll that. I'm albert
Really yeah, really I know that you were like
Farrell and PvP is good.
I think we're going to be fun to not enjoying the dots and keeping everything up.
Yeah, dot and rot. I really like the value of healing and the value of dotting and rotting.
I like the kite aesthetic, but Farrell PvP is like, I mean, I could get really deep dive into it, but I don't really like it in classic.
And honestly, what they added to this Farrell seems very Zug-like.
I have to see how bareform is with Mangle. I didn't get to test it.
But it's very you just go bareform and going cat is usually a misplay and I don't really like that
Premation was lagging again, so sorry guys the inspection was fucking you sideways. I'm so sorry
This is the most important episode of our podcast and I'm getting in as fun here. Um, oh
I think that's never mind
So please go it was a gripe the thing that annoyed me, but we weren't there yet. So I'll save it
Or you can you can I don't like that all the dogs were critting
You're like, you're like awesome. Okay. Well, so there's two reasons and maybe this is my my purist coming out from classic
But I kind of enjoy and this is my per I actually argue with friends and they disagree with me
They're also classic players. I personally enjoy that say a warlock your dots
You're a dot class you want gear with extremely high spell power and spell crit has very low value for you
I enjoy that
So now that dots can crit there's really no specialized gearing for certain specs
Not a fan and I feel like my dopamine receptor or like not dopamine my
My reckoning I could tell you how much my star fires crit for I can tell you how much this all crits for
But when I've got my rip and my rake just critting and move fire randomly critting. It's an overstem
And that's yeah, we get a little retaily in my opinion. I think it's a subconscious hit there
It's also one of those things that gets out of control over time like
the numbers just fly across the screen and like big I don't know, but whatever things get like
The small number thing I I agree with them like I really like when the numbers are small
But there's a lot of small numbers you can get overwhelming
I mean I can tell you how much my moonfires were ticking for when they're not creating like you kind of just
You lock that number in and I remember getting a new piece of gear and then moon firing be like dude
It takes for five damage more now just from this one piece
Yeah, and I guess you can you know do the same thing with it critting here and there, but I'm just not a big
I think the dots shouldn't crit and they should be balanced around them not critting
But maybe I'm wrong again. I got argued with I have someone who's even more of a classic purist than me that disagreed
So now I was talking with them about it
But it's my interest
That all doc classes are just like moon kids with seven all dots. No dots crit. No simple as that
I think yeah people I saw Warlock talent saying like your warlock dots do a hundred percent increase critical damage
I'm like, oh, is there a crit talent and I didn't see it. I'm like, oh my god. Wait dots just crit now
What and I just wasn't much of a fan of that person. It's just one of those things where it's like it makes gearing for
a doc class really hard because
You need to stack crit, just like I want to have crit, and maybe that's better.
But I mean for Blizzard, like there's crit on gear, if crit is a dead stat for a dot
class then you're just kind of like, it's tough to gear it.
Well, not necessarily because if you're a warlock in a group and there's a mage in
the group it goes to the mage.
Sure.
It's specialized gearing, and sure, maybe you're leveling, you get a piece of gear
with crit on it.
Yeah, it's not good for you, but in the shadow bolt still I guess?
No, it's still value.
There's my other thing. I'm worried about is
and this is probably a nothing burger, but they
The gearing the gear they give you as you level it seems like they're giving you so much, right?
so you get a new ring six spell damage and
You get a new ring, but the next time you upgrade your ring. Well, you
Plus two spell damage big fucking whoop not a big deal
So your dopamine hits of gear upgrades are gonna be very minor constant, but very minor
And I'm not that big of a fan. I am a fan of the fact that they're upping the gear for casters though
I think that's important. Yeah, and we're you know, we haven't gotten to play the game
I don't know how much gear they're gonna be giving you but I'm worried about it. Yeah, I
There's a lot of I want no, sorry good
There's a lot of it's very common in classic over negativity
Like I'm doing the palette and testing so for prop out in the hands
I look at the discord and everyone's like hey to get like have any of y'all played it. I put it for four hours
It's it feels very fun. I don't know how you can see here in moan and groan when you haven't even played it yet
Yeah, get the beta and just relax
You will probably like it because they're complaining that the time works through our judgment of our new seal
And it's like sure. I but I someone who played it for four hours
You're probably gonna like it once you play it when people didn't like that there thought was in a judgment. I thought that's sick
No, it is it is sick. It's really fun to do to and like well
What if we need a retop will they give us the button that a talent that resets our taunts? Yeah, they thought about this guys
Yeah, what if we are the off-take will use a different seal then will you seal the righteousness that exists?
I mean I just people are
Paladins probably the most boring class in the game based on stats and like what the way people play it is the most boring
Fucking class through all specs. Maybe Prott might be fun. It's just shit in classic
Um, and I actually think I might play Paladin now
That's how I feel with that
This call holy shock build that looks so fucking cool, but again, I'm not I didn't even play Paladin in classic
So I'm not gonna like deep dive in I don't know I'm not a paladin player, but
I'm interested in playing Paladin now because they when they started talking about the fact that you can go deep into
Rhett and you just don't get that last talent
I don't know the value of doing both judgments
That's how clueless I am on paladin but being able to holy shock
That is some serious high capabilities. That's fucking awesome. I love that
It's really make the classes way more interesting because like you can hybrid around and
It's gonna be really fun to see what the meta evolves into and again
It's gonna change things can get changed and so like the meta might change over time
I'm just so excited about that probably gonna be a talent revamp at one point
I would imagine like probably like I mean probably it's gonna be a long time
But you know they're gonna lock it to 60 they confirmed it will never leave so
Shouldn't say never when you know how these fuckers gonna be but they're trying to stay 60 right and yeah, they're
Expansion might be a talent rehaul all together
That might be what the expansion really is and you just new talents and who fucking knows maybe they say you know what?
We're gonna bring back
Seal twisting power and how it was fuck it. We're gonna bring back a power shifting
We're gonna change energy ticks for this expansion back to I that's my other grab. I hate the energy takes
They should just change that back at 20 days
The rogue energy wasn't an issue of mine
Totem twisting seal twisting and power shifting all being gone really frustrates me
Because all of those things are how is it interesting God tell me about the action. I don't know
You can have wind fury and flametongue and when you remove wind fury, the buff just gets ripped.
So it doesn't have like a lingering duration after most.
Which I think is not good because I think every shaman who plays shaman likes totem twisting
because okay except for one person in my chat right now.
We have to be really careful. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Okay. Things like power-shifting was great
And you'll have this and I don't know I have to see the actual data
But I damn well know I think most players fucking hated it and the people that liked it were the ones that did play
Feral but a lot of people didn't play feral because I didn't like it same with Paladin and they're still twisting and
People shaman
The high expression high skill expression stuff
should be kept in they just the the Delta between was it a high-skill 99 parts I
mean it's a lot of management it's a lot of like focus right a lot going I will
say maybe I'm being too physical and I'm overestimating the average player but
yeah I think when you play anniversary if you played it everything seems high
scale value because I had that anniversary has hurt me a lot I just think it
needs to be something that feels authentic and the delta between using it and not using
it is very small. And I think it was bigger in vanilla and it should remain in just maybe
not as wide.
Well, so on that on that response, I'll do some some druid bullshit here. So power shifting
is gone, right? I'm sure a lot of girls like where's our skill representation I want
show I've thought in the shower to myself the fact that feral druid has mangled bear form now and they
have lacerate and I said before bear weaving was probably the hardest rotation feral's ever had
there might be fucking bear weaving and now threat is an actual threat so now you have to really
manage your threat on lacerate stacks and mangle depending on the damage that's harder than
power shifting you want skill representation that might be more fucking difficult and that's
I don't know the other classes as well.
So yeah, there's probably bear weaving.
That's hard.
They are looking to make the game easy, right?
I think they want raids to be easy.
They want the game to be approachable, right?
Which I respect.
I just don't want them to get rid of how the classes feel, I guess.
And a lot of these things are iconic in the way they operate.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm saying I think what you're trying to say too is that like you don't want to be a mandatory thing
But it's it's cool to have things that really elevate what you can do
But it's not required like is totem twisting and to be sure required
No, you can drop Winfrey and everyone to perform well
But if you do totem twist it helps everyone out and it pushes you to get better
So it's like I know what you're saying where you you want these things like that can elevate to exist
But it's like just just to push it but not be required
I think is what you're trying to say
The other question do we know can feral's benefit off win fury I never got to test that yes, I do oh
Okay, no good
I think it's good because it's like then you have to buff feral's in a way where they can if you want all the classes to be
Functional and balanced you you have to buff feral's where they don't have win fury
And now they're just gonna be OP in a group with warriors that don't have win fury now
So you gotta you just have to give them win fury. I think it's good. Yeah
My other biggest gripe zero PVP discussion. I mean besides a new battleground
Yes, it was a battleground that I don't give a fuck about I
Really shocked at that battleground right like it. Why not reaction new it you just did either storm
I understand why there's no arena or why maybe they won't want arena
I personally kind of do you want it, but I understand the arguments as to why arena maybe shouldn't be in
But I would have loved to see like I hate to say it
RBG's. I think Warsong Gulch was like an accidental hit. They didn't mean to do it,
but it brought in all the classes. Everyone had their role in classic Warsong Gulch. Obviously,
the classes are reworked and who fucking knows what the meta's gonna be. Maybe it's just 10 mages,
I don't know, but that'd be unfortunate. But Warsong Gulch was something I never really got to
actually explore because there was no actual competitive version of it. It was just honor
farming with a premade and shitting on randoms and they just AFK. But for like the, what I
I played on hen house, for example, they had in houses that I never I really fucking wish I got to play in
And I never got around to it
They would have in houses of like competitive war song golf for fun because it's such an actual fun
Game mode in classic. Yeah, so I would have loved to have seen a new battleground
That wasn't like was a capture the flag BG that was yeah, maybe had some cool jumps, you know
Like they had in war song. I think that's fun. It's good expression
You're really hot ball in the old Republic now. Oh my god. It was so much fucking fun. It's like it's like capture the flag mixed with
I don't know. It was it was a ridiculous game, but I've always wanted to see that revived
Sure, I know if it's if it's fun, but yeah, and I I love arenas
I like competitive, but I understand that and maybe they could have done something like where you have to queue out in the
World and maybe you can only queue from certain times kind of like the STV arena
Or maybe I'd like to see more STV arena ask things
That you know, we're actually worth going to do sure
But right now, I don't know like even world buffs are do they say they're gone
Savics
Buffs being gone. I'll be honest world buffs were great for PvP because it gave you a reason to gank people
It was awesome griefing. I spent I spent most of my time doing that they're not they're not gone
They're the world buffs in the world, but it's not as valued. You're just gonna kill people leveling. I
Mean I could see you doing that. Sure. I mean, I'm not I'm not that sitting at the top of STV
I like legit. I force fun balanced fights, and I like 1v2ing being at a disadvantage
Yeah, that's just me. The point is
World buffs were an actual reason to go on the world and do some form of PvP not the best thing, but that's gone
Farming gold is cooked because of bots. I don't know how that's gonna play out and there's what I'll well
I mean, what are they gonna say? That's right
So it's a
They didn't even talk about the honor system of PvP. I didn't even talk about it. Did they this they mentioned season
They said a one of the roadmap it's a season
PvP updates, I think they show me the gear like no somebody found a vendor with the gear on it. I think that's true
Yeah, yeah, okay, and then
The one thing that I was really hoping to see and they mentioned our Shar creator as like a thing
But one thing I was really hoping to see was a PvP Vee game mode like a Vee, but like much more well thought out
I want to see like a Dota ask
like
Bg with like creeps and you have to get to the you know enemy base and all that that could be great
But it needs to be well thought out. How will this be when you bring in the optimizers?
The cringe lords the the means how is it going to actually play out?
Are you gonna go into this PvE mode and bring eight mages and aoe farm all this bullshit?
And that's really what it is your PvE spec and then the PVP is a side hustle. That's just kind of ignored
But it's not like a B in the past. They can fix it like they can they can do stuff to fix things now
So it's like it just feels like I
Wanted them to take a bigger swing than they did on PVP. I agree with you hundreds. Yeah
World PVP like solid events. I thought some of those are pretty cool. I'm not in that either interesting
Yeah, again, I mean they prop the PVP is definitely like the back end. They know it everyone
It's a big classic thing and people could say I don't really like it but like people do it and they do all they do they do I mean
the Mac Gora tournament and it's really good marketing and it creates narratives and we had an idea that they should do them
Like you should you should be able to
dual somebody
Makora on a non-hardcore character if you decide to and your character dies perma like like have some type of
You know pink slip-esque
Like a thing where like fuck you fuck you. Let's go. I got your character. You're dead. I agree with that
That would be really hype, right?
and then like to combat like
You know hackers or whatever maybe you have to wait 24 hours after agreeing to it before it actually like
starts and then you have to agree to it again like someone hacks your account and
they just want you to die they like you know whatever I'm just I'm trying to
think of how it could be abused I mean I do know in like hardcore people would
like Makarau you on like their level 60 but it was the same name as a level
three and then they walk up to a level three like look I'm just level three
but really it was a 60 rogue yeah but it's so funny don't fucking accept the
god damn Makaraz, well, that's why I was a 24 hour, uh, like buff you had to wait
through in order to actually engage the thing.
And then during that day, you could be like, I'm fighting blank at, you know,
the, you know, whatever.
And it creates a whole thing.
You're, I don't know, I mean, yeah, it's not a people disagree, but I
don't understand the downside necessarily.
That's where I don't know.
What's the downside to this?
It's just definitely, you know, okay.
We may have a similar future with War is something just implement something already exists. What's the downside? I'm not at that
It's it's just stuff that they have to focus on
Okay, but we'll see PvP would be really great
to see something that
Has some staying power
So the one thing to go
To go back on the gripes. I want to know what y'all thought did you when y'all demo tested?
I was gonna shock that everything is like the retail UI. Yeah, and I thought I figured
You know if they're gonna give us a classic toggle for our characters
Can we not get a classic toggle for the UI as well?
I know that would take a lot of work, but I thought that would make a lot of people happy
It's because someone's gonna make an add-on eventually. Yeah, it's a classic UI
I mean I can't even add on we ready to go on Thursday
I think that's something they should probably consider and add eventually because you know we want our game
I say we I shouldn't say we a lot of us want our game to look like classic and if I love the graphics and everything
But I didn't see a toggle and I looked all over the place
There was a classic preset a lot of people are saying there was yeah classic preset
Which moved your UI into the positions that classic has it in but it's not classic UI
The health bars are slightly different a lot of things were slightly different
I'll be honest. I didn't mind that much wasn't the biggest deal to me. I kind of enjoyed the fact that my like here's a change
I like
No one's drilling somewhere else
Or something like over
I felt like the UI was like yeah, it's weird bronze color. Which just yeah cheapened it
It felt like I like the the retail UI is gold right the classic UI is silver
And then this is like bronze, which just kind of doesn't yeah
Like I don't know. I just come from a different reason. Yeah, I'm not hung up on that
I kind of like that under when I moonfire when insects swarm like my debuffs were actually over their
Unit frames later though. Yeah, sure. I liked that that I was in the game
Yeah, and people like well, I don't like that. Okay, but people played with add-ons and it's just getting add-on. Yeah
Yeah, you really want the purest classic you I just get the add-on it's gonna be there
Yeah, I meant more like, yeah, more like you just like the, you know, your map
plus login like your portrait, I guess, like just looking at that and like, hey,
it looks like I'm playing a classic game. It's one of those things too where we
have to remember they're trying to make it okay to work with controller. And so I
think there's a lot of like big beefy buttons because they need to be easily
see-able sitting on the couch with the controller. So yeah. And I, I, I
I still had a lot of chats and they think I'm over exaggerating it. That's true that that's fine
I I think it's just a personal thing
But if 17,000 people are on the streamers saying hey, I think it's fine then I that's fine for me to be wrong
I'm not gonna be upset by that like I'm not gonna fight that fight again
I just want the game to be popular
And I think a lot of new players are gonna come in and they're going to like the newer UI
I'm again. I'm a purist as well, but I want more people to enjoy it and I can change it back
if I fucking want to. Yeah, yeah, it's true. But what one more thing? Sorry. Did y'all like
having a built-in questie? I didn't see I didn't question everything. So there's, there's, because
I like, I part of it was like, I like the, you know, finding new, new quests are cool.
But if you're telling me where the new quest stuff is now, like, damn, that kind of sucks.
I wanted to like find that first. And yeah, I can turn off the new questie,
but I kind of want everyone to help find it with me. Like we all get to find it.
Hmm, but you know how many people do you think play the game without questie? I
I
Understand that argument, but it's a it's a first-time playthrough
I think right or it's like your first time you're going in blind that we all kind of
Recreate that classic feeling and then you get questie afterwards once you get it, you know once you find it
I'm the minority. It's whatever. I think I mean I understand where you're coming from like 2004
That's how it worked for us, but in the modern day
I don't think anyone joins World of Warcraft and then it's like wow everyone's so good at questing how they do
Oh, I have to get this out on it in a forced step that every single person has to do. They should have a built-in questing
It is a game that everyone can like LARP like it's gonna be 2004 again. It will never be it is a
Sure sure I got to like level eight on the skyborne starting area and I
definitely didn't
Like read any quest text or whatever because I was just following where the big things were to kill the thing and I think that
Does lose a little bit of its?
Charm you become a little bit less emotionally connected that first time because you're just
Going to where the thing goes. Yeah, but
Is it's how people play the game now like I remember so I know never I couldn't find it for two days
And I wanted that belt or its boost I forget but it you have that memory now, right?
Yeah, but it's just not how it's gonna be though. We can't it's not gonna be that way. Yeah, there's too much information
There's too much media everyone's gonna know that holy she's good just YouTube it
Sure, but yeah, it's true, but I do I do think there should be some quests that like
What I I did saw phase about a five or six PTR and I got a
quest item off of a boss and BWL for my warrior and the quest
I'm just said find somebody that knows about the red dragon flight.
And that was it.
That was like the quest and, and nobody had done it.
And I was like talking to chat and just like, we were like trying to think
of an NPC that had any association with the red dragon flight.
We were searching the whole fucking world looking for it.
And then we finally found it.
And it was the hypershit in the world and grand.
Yes, you'll just go straight to, uh, I'll head and figure it out now.
But like that first time it was hypershit.
So like,
I mean, even back then in 2004, I remember trying to do the glowing shard from Wailing
Caverns, a little gem that gives you the twink shoulders.
On the mountain.
Yeah.
I couldn't figure that out.
I couldn't.
I eventually, I think, I thought-botted it.
So even then, you know, it's just extra stethes put in question.
It sucks.
Yeah.
I wish we could go back, but we can't.
So my thoughts.
Okay.
Yeah, we are.
And okay, so we talked about the graphics.
I think that's probably a W across the board.
There's a little bit of like, it's a little too dark
or a little too bright like here and there,
but I think they'll dial that in.
I remember, I think I zoomed out too far,
maybe when I was playing that dungeon,
you said looked really pretty.
It looked like shit to me.
I thought it was a little bit too monotone for sure.
Yeah, it felt very grayed out,
but again, my monitor was like 50 feet from my face.
It wasn't my setup.
I wasn't comfortable.
There's lights blaring a blizzcon bullshit, right?
So I'm just taking with a grain of salt.
I mean, I kept walking by you would like interrupting
you're like, ah, it's just like things are not
the best for focus.
You were playing with dark and raining though, right?
On the dungeon.
It's always dark and raining in there.
I think so.
No, it's not.
No, when I played it was,
when I played it was the sun was out
and it was bright.
I didn't have that.
It might have been dark and raining.
Yeah.
No, when I played, yeah,
Like somebody kill the first boss and you go up the stairs at the school like sun reflect and you see like the entire dungeon
From my POB our courts and footage. So that's
My perspective yeah, it's fun. Yeah, just needs a little bit of
dialing in because I do think that there's a lot of
spots that aren't like right like a video maybe a little bit of like
Inner bloom of light somewhere in order to make it easily easier to see or like dimmer in other areas where it's just like
Oh, but it, I mean, it looked good.
I was excited about it.
So, I mean, we'll, we'll really know in like, what, three days?
What is it?
Once it's gotta go in like, yeah, it's absurd.
It's so close.
I know I have, I have surgery on Wednesday on my shoulder and I
would be hopped up to the tits on Thursday.
Remember, that'll be fun.
I remember when they, uh, the, I knew the beta or class it was
going to get announced, but I did not know the dates and I was
really trying to fucking figure out dates and they would not tell me and
they're like it's gonna be soon I'm like oh soon TM and then two days later
that I did again like hey just clarifying we mean soon not soon TM
fucking soon I'm like how soon are we talking here I'm trying to plan I'm
trying to plan my life right now yeah and then they announced it I'm like oh
My god
That's really soon. That's right there
I'm they were I wish they did a better job of that with the content creators or whatever that are like
It's tough to plan a fucking vacation dude
I just don't like be able to do stuff and they don't tell you because it'll leak or whatever, but yeah, I'll be right
These are first-world problems
Okay, so the drowned city in my opinion was like a bad
had choice for a first dungeon to show off.
Why do you think that it just it wasn't very linear?
I think I would have liked a linear dungeon because it would have felt more.
But I think they wanted to showcase that their dungeons aren't always going to be
linear because they're a classic.
Um, yes.
Like Wayland Catalyst is not linear, but, but it just felt linear to be fair.
like a slog, I guess, because I was just like,
like, I don't know, just like,
that's a one positive thing that you do not care about.
We do not care about our beta characters at all.
We don't care about the XP we gained.
Like I remember needing on a shield just to fuck
with S-Fan to my right.
I'll give you that, I'll give you that, fair enough.
And then I deleted it in front of him.
So that's kind of keep in mind that we don't have
any dopamine hits outside of like, wow, new dungeon.
Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of linear dungeons.
There are a lot that aren't, I agree.
I guess I wanted a little bit more diversity visually. I guess is it just to show it off
But whatever it's not a big deal. I think the rain really got to y'all the rain just made really mad
It was here in the ears, but whatever again, I thought it was cool dungeon. I thought the shark was awesome
You get you kill a shark. No, I don't think you can man. I'm done. I'm almost convinced. There's a way to do it
Because there's like an underwater area that I didn't actually see
But we we got to the last boss
The second last boss was way harder than the last boss. The second last boss was like a blood orb that summons
Corpses of trolls around and then when you kill a troll it puts a debuff on the orb that increases its damage taken
And it was actually really hard. The last boss just fell over, but I
Mean we ignored the ads and just dug the boss and killed it. Did you actually? Yeah, no
No, we were wiping on VP.
I think he has stuck, then.
No, I respect Feral, and my damage was fucking filthy.
Interesting.
It was disgusting.
I was top damaged by Miles, and I
wasn't even doing my rotation right.
It was my first time playing it.
It was just gross damage, how much I was doing.
OK.
A lot of the other dungeons look pretty exciting.
They have Old Iron Forge, which I called in my video.
That's Dark Iron something.
They have like an ogre one in the riverlands, right?
They're going to have, oh, what are the other ones?
You remember what they announced?
Could tell you the excavation, excavation sites, all the things that
is what we're talking about.
And then there's a shapeless terrace and on Goro at level 60.
Yes.
I look so cool.
I'm sure it's interesting for second got their own.
And I think it's right by the under city.
I'm pretty sure.
Right.
In tears, what blades?
Okay.
Yeah, there was a lot.
There was a lot.
Nine dungeons at launch is
Really exciting. Yeah, that seems like a good choice by them to do
We didn't get mention of Kairazan
We didn't get mention of scarlet enclave
Which I was surprised of because I just felt like something that was easy for them to just pour it over. Yeah
The dollar and dungeon to yeah, it looks sick. Did you do Cara Crips sort of in sod? No, but I watch yeah
Yeah. Oh dude is so much fun. Yeah, I've only heard good things about the dungeons from sod.
Yeah, uh, demon volcano was a little bit, whatever, but care encryption is really, really cool.
Um, I'm hoping that there's like born mega dungeons like BRD, uh, because I think those
are so iconic. Um, maybe not with 30 quests or whatever BRD has, but speaking of the
Dungeons didn't they say that they they're toning down the XP of dungeons immensely, but they're upping the quest
So essentially you can just do a dungeon a single time turn your quest in and that's it to prevent dungeon farming
how do we yes they
I think it's cool kind of because
um
I think it's cool that you don't want boosting to happen
But there's also an aspect of you are telling players what they can't do
And I think some people like hate restrictions when it's like all human interactions that aren't you know
Goldsellers, but I think it's like the same thing. I don't want to get into GDP too much where it's like
You are restricting people from things they want to do and learn to do and like find optimizations
So it has it's good and bad. I think I
Just get started that I think there's a better solution. I
I agree I
Feel it's gonna feel bad to do a dungeon once and
That's so much doing it again. It's never
What if you do it and you want this sword really bad?
But it's like you also want to get some XP out of it not be a huge waste of time
But you turn in the quests
So what if they could do like a dampening where doing the dungeon it again is minus 10%
But at that point I just worry. Yeah, I agree
You should level in questing and you should prioritize doing both
I almost think you should force people to do it dare. I say so sometimes players are stupid and they should have a choice
Yeah, I do like people being kind of forced into the world somewhat
Doing it once though is not ideal. So there's got to be some type of fix where you can do them. I
Don't know daily even I guess maybe people will out level it
Lockout if they're actually playing consistently. There's got to be a better fix
An hour lock our lockout to our lockout and your week your normal XP happens. I don't know something about like
Yeah, but that would have to like a the group's gonna disband now I get to spend another hour making the group
That's fair. That's gonna have to be spam whispering looking for tank looking for tank 39 warrior through 43 just searching
I like how it felt in hardcore doing it once a day, but it also had a bit of a different
vibe because everything is valuable constantly.
It does feel a little bit heavy-handed to just cut out all experience after the first
quest run.
Well, again, how much XP do you actually get?
Maybe we're underestimating how much XP you get per turn without quests.
It's true like I think if you're doing a dungeon, you should be maybe 75% XP rate as to if you were questing
for the average player
Now the issue it's hard to balance cuz
Dungeon spamming is only better XP because you find these optimized
Dungeon groups and then that's what everyone ends up doing
So the average group that just gets together that happens to be in Hillsbrad, you know
They're not gonna be clearing it that quickly the XP
So how do you really balance it again? I'd have to go in a think tank and it's not my fucking job
But I mean I can speak on what I wish it was
There's no we saw it happen last time they tried messing with XP if you played anniversary and that was
One of their biggest L's ever where they just completely ruined it and they people were even getting XP for healing
And they missed out on loot because yeah, that was that was pretty bad
So it's a zero XP from max levels in that should be a thing
Yeah, just zero exp of my time. What does that take away? I don't know the 5% exp buff from cooking
Or food plus the camping stuff is gonna
drastically change the time it takes to 60
So that comes down to how difficult is it to get these exp buffs
I would have met I kind of enjoy the fact that they make it to where leveling your cooking is optimal
Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. And I hope it stays. I honestly hope that well-fed XP buff you can't sell it on the auction house. I
Really hope that's the case. I hope you can only get the XP buff if you make it your damn fucking self
I'd like that. Yeah, four C's fuckers to do this stuff and it's optimal to do so
At least in the long term. I think that's awesome
The yeah, the rest of XP
Increase is cool. I really like the idea of camping obviously it came from P server
like the idea of dropping a champ, I can't remember but I know it came from
Privacy. Are you sure it was the one with the
Kingsdale area? I think it was a turtle log, I think. Okay well you a turtle log
you you drop a tent and everybody hangs out. Yeah I was a tense yeah. They get
you know certain amount of time you have to sit in it and you get enough
for SXP and then you go but the way that they've done this I think is a
really cool twist on it with the other professions adding elements of a camp to
it in order to enhance the buff that my thing gives you like I can already my
I immediately just think of how is this going to be abused and I can already see
fucking streamers is ironic talking about myself having fucking
camp alchemy all your campsimps got my alchemy bot put your alchemy buff in
their bitch and you know you got your Taylor Taylor bitch you got your black
Smith bitch the ultimate campfire at all times yeah but only has three slots so
depending on what you're leveling you're gonna want a certain set of buffs right
but yes camp sims are gonna definitely be a thing who cares for you I think it's
fun I think it's an awesome change yeah I have to see it in practice though
you know I think it's cool when they started saying what actual buffs you
I wish I could see they said that like tailoring would give you int enchanting spirit or vice versa. How much and
I did how does it actually scale the box on the
You can get your first buff at a level 20 of any profession. Okay. I can't remember what the number was like
And apparently they don't stack with class buffs, right?
Correct
Yeah, makes a can't can't be having being too strong. So cool. Fuck yeah
I think it's not some change and it's not it's it's only gonna be good then in my opinion. I don't see any downsides to this
Yeah, I think when we talk with
When we talk to the third gbay, it's like
Getting meaningful things to do while you level versus just leveling is cool. Like, you know, it's just being that journey so important like
I'm just leveling cooking and leveling this stuff. It's like you're getting something done
Even if your experience bar isn't going up as you're doing it. It's just really fun
Yeah, he gives a reason to sit down and talk to people put that fucking campfire. Yeah, go go piss IRL
You're not don't worry. You're not missing the XP buff up
Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for the coolest memories. I had was just like you know, lobby in the wild for some reason
I like one of the morning and just like you used to this people and slash say having a conversation out loud and storming
It's like just recreating that stuff through these campfires. I think this is really cool. What the thoughts that mean by it's just
I'm very excited imagine not being on discord having a conversation
I mean slash say is gonna be very interesting and if
They can end up getting proximity chat working for the game instead of just like the out on that
You know only things how it would be super fun to like
Randomly procs chat somebody in a campsite while you guys are you know roast some marshmallows and then off you go
You know I can already see like but they're gonna take slurs, bro
Massive massive slurs spam. I would be so mad. I put up my campfire down
I'm a warrior and some fucker brains intellect. I'd be furious and the slurs come out
You gotta level that weapons. I don't forget. I guess it's true
Okay, so how did druid feel do you feel like it was good enough you're happy I
I mean in what version of PvE or PvP?
PVE, you didn't duel.
I did some dueling and I mean I could tell you the pace of the game, but it's low level as well
So it's completely broken. Yeah, like there's a reason why there's some classes that are like 19 twinks and the others are never touched
In that bracket. It's just unbalanced slop
But I picked up a decent level of pacing we'll do the PvE
balanced when that did not change. I want them to have better mana management. I
also was 38. I get innervate. I don't know what what's the CDR and innervate.
I'm going to imagine it's reduced. So that might fix that issue. That might be
what makes balance a little bit better. So that could be one of the things.
And Farrell's damage was disgusting and I really liked that we didn't have AOE.
Sounds I mean, but we shouldn't we don't have cats. Yeah, we shouldn't
Mages can remain the god class. They do that but they nerfed blizzard the the slow so I'm curious to see how that plays out
I think it's a good change
The rotation felt I
Mean I don't want to say it's great because it was just so new to me and you know, I loved sod
Initially, I thought it was so cool because it was new. Yeah, we got it's just one of those you got to play it out
But it felt cool. It felt new. I like the unique berserk design. I thought that was awesome
I didn't like that my bleeds were creating
I think that should be either a talent you have to get and only certain dot classes can do it or just don't do that
Try to think of what else I didn't get to do bear weaving so I didn't get to really feel the complex rotation
Complex. Did you take or DPS? I love you. I DPSed. Okay. I was pure damage
Again, I didn't really it felt fine at least I was pulling threat when I was tab dotting on my moonken
I was pulling a lot of threat really, but I was tabbed on like eight mobs. It's probably why I went um
So it's just moon fire insects worm and then you know
It's the say it's just swapping between wrath and starfire back and forth pretty simple, but they added a little bit. It's cool
And yeah, I did feel there was some skill expression with
The fact rake and rip it gets you don't have a lot of combo points in classics
You don't have a lot of energy to work with especially without power shifting
So there was some skill expression as to when you do your damage because you did bonus damage to bleeding targets
So maybe get to full energy and then dump everything right rather than just shreds
I can a shred now and just hitting it. So yeah a little bit of Excel skill expression. It felt fine
But I can't speak too much on it
The talents were cool. I
I do think, uh, sorry, at least for PvP, the fact that SwiftMend is right there and I don't know of any PvP build that will not be playing with SwiftMend.
And I think that's cool. You know, there's no PvP build that played without NS in Classic, you know?
So, uh, SwiftMend, you can take that. You don't have to get NS. They put NS deeper into the tree and you can do more stuff with it now, so that's pretty cool.
cool. I wish there was a level 60 test also. Oh yeah man. Being able to use a 16 point talent
and then go down to the rest of another tree would have been really fun to like test out
some stuff. What do you mean? Just like having more talent to play with. You're wishing we
were level 60. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Because I think that that's going to be really interesting
to play around with, but I guess it's going to be fun to look forward to. I know
healing felt boring for me I played disc healing period no I love healing it's
my family for my healer yeah healer and I I was a little bit bored the 31 point
discount being PI it's just I don't know I'm not a huge fan of that you wish it
as penance I what we penance is 16 I think and oh they're nice yeah and not
being able to you and it's while moving felt really bad but you shut the fuck
up you want a penance while moving I I've been playing mop for two oh my god
brand out man no no you should not I don't think I don't think that I should
I'm just saying how it felt
Play wrath disc like I played wrath disc shit is awesome. I played wrath disc. Absolutely, but you're you pen
Sometimes when you're PVPing you can only get two ticks because you got to cancel it
You know, you move doing it. I guess cool with you. I I get it
But but you don't have rapture with power shields. So whatever, but um, I mean you have just about everything else
I
Think I think holy is gonna be better
$1,000,000,000, and
I don't know. I want them both to work.
Yeah, I want them both to work.
But it's good to have that diversity.
If this is that really good PVP bill, then like, holy, is that PVE bill?
Then I also mean a little mixture of both.
Like, I also don't think you're ever going to bring a Holy priest
unless you actually need the HPS because there is P.I.
and some fucking parsing.
Well, I would fucking hope that these bosses are not
bring 40 warriors and one priest 39 warriors and one priest and like let's just kill it
instantly.
Exactly.
So hopefully your healer per second in your mana region is important and you want your
priest as whole.
Now I think it will be easy enough that you're going to need to you're going to be incentivized
to take PI.
I just about I don't understand because they gave everybody like big all the tank
player we all have cooldowns like we shouldn't have these cooldowns then if if it
Later on to reduce time. I like I have a proposal for five minute chill ball pretty much like why do I have that if feeling so easy
Then it's gonna make it it's a big it so you bring one healer say pop my five minute
Raids or dungeons here. There's a big difference. Yeah. Yeah, I don't wait
Yeah, you're talking about raids. I'm hoping the rates and I mean this is everyone's got this is where
Controversial I want the raids to be harder way harder
I can almost guarantee you that's not gonna be the case because
They want the game to be approachable and easy. Well, I mean
I think the mechanics can be simple
But I want it to be a pretty tight fit on say heel checks and DPS checks and whatnot zero chance
I think I think DPS checks might be a little too much. I would like
Healing to matter like as a tank. It's kind of boring when you just have your full HP the entire time
And as a healer it's really easy to be a bad healer when you don't have to really focus too much
Although I would play in TBC sometimes a little too much when you can get one child if I make there and I'm with this Cleveland auto after
Um, I think healing is important and I think
Tanks getting hurt is important because then all I'm going to do is a prop out and I'm going to put a bunch of dps gear on
And I'm hoping that like because they didn't bring they didn't bring this data
But I was going to concern like you didn't bring up
Crush cap or crick cap and I want to know like do I gear for that?
in
Classic plus I want to I don't want to be a TPS character. That's as a shield on I want to be a tank
Yeah, I like parsing. It's cool. I just want to be a tank though
And I want to guess a hill and maybe if a raid is on farm status
Yeah, maybe you are gonna be a power infusion bitch because it's like it's on farm status
You're just parsing at this point and you're just trying to help Alondo get number one parse
That might be the case but the raids on farm
But if you're on Prague status
Put yourself on a mat like more healing per second to go holy and bring less healers because now you're healing per seconds increased
Which is more damage. So there's those different arguments. I believe me. I'm all with you. I just I I
Could just see it already. It's as easy exact same thing happened in vanilla where all priests were PI and all that stuff
So I mean I was a buff bitch. I played but I drew it. I had read you
I had improved inner fire so I could give my warrior the bugged juju might juju power whatever it was
That game was solved and figured out. That's why I'm glad it's a thing
I saw I was also a fury prod they were doing damage glorify. Yeah, isn't that great whole different game
I'm with you. Uh, yeah, it's
We'll see the idea is that we're getting we're getting rid of that shit, you know, that's ideally
we're moving on and like we want that vanilla feeling but actually playing
the specs that matter and stuff like that not yeah okay we'll moving on let's
talk about ratios oh fuck oh god it's actually it's actually crazy how much
there's a talk about it's nuts it ratios I think were the thing that I was most
looking forward to seeing fixed. However, I'm not sure balanced and interesting.
Instead of auto lock a class. You know what I mean? What is an example of an auto lock class
to you right now? Any melee is you go warrior or or any may be a human or orc like you don't
I don't know.
Not necessarily.
Everyone's looking for you.
No.
No, no, no.
Say in vanilla.
I'm saying in vanilla.
Oh, right.
Okay.
And so then now, obviously, they did a lot.
Each race has two passives and two actives, which I think it was an interesting choice
that they wanted to kind of stick to that.
I'm not sure I necessarily care about them doing that, but whatever.
And I also think that they're pretty unbalanced and some classes still very much favor certain
races to the point where if you don't roll that race, you are griefing.
To give an example.
Priest.
Priest going.
Sucks dick for PDE.
It's good for PVP, but like the yeah, because priest is priest is specific where not only
are the ratios, there's priest specific racial.
But they're but again, that's maybe that's intended. I
Agree, I think dwarf is shit. I don't even in PvP like I you just go human for the don't form is really good
Yeah, but bringing able to trinket a stun is probably overall more flexing better. Yeah, you like you think it's just so good man
But I mean yeah, it's pretty good. It's pretty good
but
The the gnome priest
Spell is essentially guardian spirit
Which is really really good for PvE at least and even PvP, but
Dwarf got
That's for prayer and chastise. I don't know. Oh, this is fucking amazing actually
And chastise is insane too. It was PvP stuff
PvP stuff again, uh
So you got track treasure
Track treasure is such a useless thing. I don't know. I love track treasure, man
Yeah, they did say you could track treasure and something else in a time new hotness
Actually, maybe these treasure spawns aren't yeah. Yeah. Yes. Maybe if you have track treasure on it unlocks something
special yeah
The the undead
Touch of dread or whatever it's called seems pretty bonkers was a 5% life steal
Yeah, I was I was testing it out on on Paladin. I want your procs
often
It's five percent. But what's the ICD?
It's it seemed I saw a proc once pretty close to back-to-back, but that was pretty rare. I
I
If it the thing is with that if it's too powerful, they're gonna nerf it like they're not gonna let it be like that strong
But like everyone I know everyone's gonna know I'll play prop on him with that the leech
And that's gonna be sick and I'll it'll proc with consecrated in my every spell I hit
I think it'll be really good for farming because I was testing out farming and I can definitely see about a farming being really good and
forever
But I know that I just want to warn everybody if you want to roll just for that talent
It's if it's too good. It's not going to stay that way
Just be ready for that that yeah true and well
I mean will the forsaken is already like one of the best fucking talents especially with
Pre-signalization everything in yeah, yeah, they did nerf it
But it's a two-minute CD as opposed to the humans three-minute CD on stun. Yeah
So it's got it and yeah
Oh the night elf the night elf talent man
That's gonna be so good when you have shit on farm like for warriors that that's gonna be awesome like yeah
I'm playing a lot of yeah, that's fucking sick and I'm like that's that's that's
Not I thought I maybe I'm just stupid. I'm not like as into it
I looked at all the talents. I was like, this is pretty cool. You know, I thought
You know, well humans give the 2%
Passive crit to swords and spells. I thought that was interesting because everyone got one
But someone tried telling me it was because like it was balanced that way. I just didn't see it
Yeah, may seven one percent or dwarves have one percent. You're right and then humans
to set as well. Yeah I've heard there's there were some sort of balancing act around it but like
I remember 5% I get like 5% the beast is awesome if you give me a beast raid I'm going to crank
as a dwarf. I really don't like that. The biggest part with the racials is being randomly doing more
damage to say hold on uh doing more damage. I DM you guys all the uh the racials. Oh that's what
that you DM me, I was like, um, being randomly doing more damage as a race to certain, like
elementals and whatever the fuck, yeah, that just seems like people, but oh, it's, it's
roleplay. It's just going to be annoyed or annoying. It's going to be ignored and it's
going to be just random passive shit and it's just going to fuck over parses and
a lot of us are only going to be able to race change every race year, depending
on what the, the boss profile was in mop because, you know, something was a lot
of beasts, you know, and throwing a thunder and we all a lot of us. Yeah,
troll or whatever. So I just think it's going to be like a passive that
people like forget about. And it just fucks with things. And it's like, I
guess, cool RP, but I'm not a fan of be slaying and elemental slaying and
all of that. It's it's it's 5%. That's not that's a lot. Yeah. That's a
lot. Maybe we'll say parsers aren't part of the game. They are.
Yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see how raid farmed everything is. And
Even even minus the parsing. It's just it's a 5% increase randomly that people won't eat
We'll see how it plays out. You know, I might be wrong
How did you feel about planes running?
shit trash awful
Really, I really wanted a different
I didn't I didn't test it out, but I was gracing pretty happy with that when he was play testing next to me
I thought he liked it. I
I mean, it's not stop. It's it is cool and I'm glad they're doing some of the planes running
It's a big shout out to like the beta of classic whatever, but yeah, it's going to fuck over
You're when you're questing you're gonna have to ad spam and turn in your quests and all that and it's just gonna get really annoying
It's gonna kind of suck
And if I could you just have it though, right?
I guess yeah, you know if we can compare it they have war stomp. They have planes running
Let me see it. What else do tarnes have but imagine you're in the barrens. That's gonna be so helpful once you get
Herbalism one seems insanely good for bots. I'm really nervous. Yeah. No, it's a bot clap bot thing now
Herbs are just standing there and using activation over there again
How will this actually be played out when you know people actually play the game? I think it's gonna be bot overrun
I think they're all gonna be tarnes. I think planes running will be cool
While leveling but by the time like there's there's only a couple of runs, especially with the fact they buffed world traveling
There's gonna be only a couple runs where you're probably gonna reach that 30%
They added like goats and zeppelins and all the fastest. There's no crazy runs
Maybe running the camp to rajo or something like that. Yeah, you'll really reach that 30%
But that 30% goes down super
Yeah, really when you stop moving and when you take damage that shit is gone instantly
um, it's cool
But yeah, I feel like all the all the best like
The best footage we could see right now is an army of torn bots with planes running
Get getting herbs that would look like the funniest shit ever and I'm just like I'm looking forward to that
And the other thing is this is only really a utilized talent level like once you reach level 20. It's gone
Druids get cat form. Yeah
skit cheetah
I guess warriors will utilize it
Shamans will utilize no ghost wolf gone because they don't stack yeah, so what the fuck else can tarnes be hunter warrior druid shaman
Is that fucking it? That's it. So warriors are really the only ones that benefit this after level 20
Okay, I just feel like it wasn't interesting enough. I kind of wanted them to like
one second cast time and
Lower your horns move 40% faster for five seconds or whatever, you know, something just like
Uh a little bit more flavorful than a slight
Increased over time just felt a little bit it did suck up quite slow
But again, it's pretty like winning when you're running
It can be nice and it could even be good for under mpvp. It's like you can
If you're max ranging because their range is crazy. It's it can be good
It's it's a passive the best talent they have is endurance they get the 5% health and they get 1% hit chance
Yeah, that's huge. Did you try any of the yeah?
Specific ones. Oh, we're gonna say dirty
They're gonna be the best tanks like 1% hidden 5% health for for torn. That's just seems like insane, right?
Well touch of the gravity depends. What's the issue right in classic? It was not
Defensive you're playing fury prod if the game is just down
You don't give a shit about the health you want to touch the grave
So the friends will end game is like yeah exactly. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Go ahead Jordy
So the sky born racials were kind of insane in terms of
They sucked like at least no they didn't suck. I think they thought
the wind shaper the
Horde one has
10% run speed for 15 minutes if you use it at a whatever an elemental
15 minutes seems yes, so if you don't use it
What is an elemental plane?
It's not well. I forget what they called it. It's like a little line. No, no, no the lay lies the other one
Okay, the the horde one. It's like a little
Tornado that's just all there's tiny tornadoes everywhere around the world
And if you use it in that you get 10% move speed for 15 minutes, okay
Which seems pretty good. I know that is that is extremely good
However, how many ladies are in the game?
Well, that's a good question.
You're going to know exactly where they are on the map, and you're going to run by them.
Let's assume they're rare. Maybe one per zone at best.
Let's just assume that. Trash.
You are losing more time running over there doing your dumb 15-minute buff
than just using it for 10, 15 seconds.
There's going to be more than one per zone.
There's no way that they don't incentivize you to...
to it's a tiny little tornado that like you'll never know
was yeah you are a sky born I mean again if you run into him naturally yeah take
the buff and that's pretty nice but in competitive and like the areas of the
game that matters to me raids dungeons whatever trash and PvP trash well at
the same time you can't use it there's not none of them are gonna be inside so
Whatever and then the Alliance version of it is a hundred percent increase health and manorigen
And it's the same thing. It's just a lay line instead of a elemental whatever so
100% increased health and manorigen for 15 minutes is like
Insane for leveling. Yeah, that is fucking disgusting again for leveling also both of these are very good for hardcore
That's the best thing about their on use is hard and it is and walk on air walk on air. It's gonna be really nice
That's what I'm saying. That's what I mean for hardcore. The slow fall. That's what's busted
Their passive 1% increased melee range and spell casting haste and then passive damaged elementals
The best thing is if you play a healer you get that extra mana pool
On use and raid for the you know region and maybe that would stack with innervate
Something but compared to the other stuff worse ratios in the game
Interesting that you think that
Um, if you get the 15 minutes, it's nice if you don't, maybe it's less, but, um, okay.
So they've got a lot of work to do on races, I think, but they're, they're, they're in
the, they're heading in the right direction.
Surprising.
It's the new race you have to pay for.
And they're actually just the worst.
I think they'd be even more broken, right?
That's how Ryan games would do it.
That's for sure.
Right.
but whatever.
I mean, this is not like,
I mean, it's better, I'd rather it not be totally broken.
So.
I mean, like, again, it's great for leveling,
and people are like, oh, you're just a min max parser,
but like your max level now what?
Like, what do you do at max level?
You do dungeons.
You do maybe some dueling here and there.
I wanna go get my 15 minute buffs,
maybe for like farming gold, maybe.
But even then, like your max fucking level,
Druids are gonna have intervates major and like all these classes have really good mana regen. So shit my opinion
You're probably gonna be fine on mana
And then the movement speed I mean you're gonna have hunters have asked for to the cheetah druids are already fast as fuck
Shamans of ghost wolf rogues have sprint
Warriors may be benefit, but why would you play that over a gnome warrior or everything else is just better?
Right. Noem seems to be busted yet right now. Yeah
Like 5% extra mana rage and energy just seems really really nice
Especially for the mana classes rage. I don't know if that really matters right because you're
You're you're starting at zero anyways, but I
Wonder shadow mill drops combat like it does it does not later on
It doesn't unless it's been changed. I don't think so if it did that'd be insane. I'm still playing night off
That's the thing at least for true it true doesn't have the most options
I have the two shittiest ratios as we just said and then we have tar in a night off, so I'm going night off
And like on use crit is just also
Crazy, it's like so awesome. Yeah stomp is nerfed because orcs now have reduced
Stunderation so I can no longer war stomp an orc and then get a regrowth off
Maybe I can get it in tango roots, so that just doesn't work and humans have a stun trinket on top of that
So the other ratios have nerfed war stomp
So I'm going night. I think the human the human game the trinket thing I think is not great
That is just it's so strong. It's like you got you it's a PvP trinket, man
It's just I'm hoping it puts me to be trinket on cooldown for 30 seconds at least or a minute that would be all
I think that would be the good the good makeup with that. It's it's so strong. So I wanted to play a dwarf
Prop out and then raft like I can't bro. They have the trinket and makes it so much easier to take
Just use that shit. Yes. I just
Chained by my race. No, but that's why undead was so busted in classic and it was so good
Yeah versus people who can fear it's because yeah, he's just fucking win now. You just win
I've and so human if there's good, sorry
I wonder if there's gonna be race change in the game or early on at least right like
With the meta changing and them doing balancing and stuff
it would feel bad to not have a race change available.
I hope you can race change, but that's just me and I have money.
Yeah, but like, not being able to race change might be nice to just lock people in.
Someone's saying they said no to race change.
I bet you that changes eventually, but...
It probably will.
I see why people don't want it.
They want you to be locked into your race and I see it.
I you know what I get at the RP aspect you just have pride in what race you are you get very good at your ratios
And hey if it gets nerfed you're still fucking locked there
And we probably have a bunch of sweaty min-maxers swapping around here. Yeah, I agree
I actually would like it if you couldn't race change, but you'll be able to
That's your way the finance guys are I just don't see it happening
Company having to make money. I guess. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah
Okay, so we have
Another like half hour. Thanks. Let's
I have like an hour, I have until three, so I got an hour and 15.
Alright, this is the thing that I think I'm most concerned with, and I don't know if
you have talked to them or whatever, but I'm worried about our creep, and I don't
think they mentioned power creep.
What do you like describe what you mean by power grid, but it's how strong you get, how quickly you get strong.
How quickly you kind of get to the point where nothing in the path, like the horizontal path doesn't matter.
And like, I don't want them to do a stat squish. I'm worried about raids.
I didn't mention like what they're going to do. And like, there is some fun horizontal in like,
And we can talk about the biomes and stuff, but there's a lot of cool stuff that's like
more useful on Worgen or whatever, you know, certain horizontal things, which is a good
way to avoid power creep getting out of hand.
But, um, so I didn't hear mention of a system.
Yeah, you're right.
It's weird.
Let's think about it long term.
Let's look at like classic and let's even take Nax Rammus out of the equation because
that's where things kind of got fucked with the tier sets.
Yeah.
like band of a curia from mc is a ring that was like you would go back to mc
to try and get it even when you're way beyond mc
uh... even choker the fire lord in some cases because this is the map
in dot classes like that
and things like that
they're going to be adding so many raids that
sure maybe you'll go back to that one rate for that one piece of gear but
eventually the raids inevitably
will not have anything you need
there's only sixteen equipment slots
it's all there is
so eventually the fucking run out
and the other issue i noticed there was a green healing up in my friends and i
were talking about this
there was a green healing weapon that had plus sixty six healing
it was level thirty three
now it seems a lot
it and they started linking pre-read this for healers uh... going in so
look at healing gear
as our staple
uh... i worry that you're gonna get too much healing too quickly
what this could have been
and i think
it's weapons for casters are just buffed
and so if you would at end game have plus one healing what plus one thousand
healing
if you have plus twelve hundred healing
at end game ish now because the weapons for casters are buffed that's fine
if your chest piece and your gloves and your pants and your rings are all
scaled higher
and you're at three thousand healing
now there's a problem your entire hb
Yeah, that'd be fucking stupid.
That's just the healing we can get to the other stuff, too.
But again, Caster's weapons should matter, in my opinion,
as much as weapons matter for, say, warriors and hunters.
So Caster's weapons being buffed and everyone having
a little bit more spell damage and healing is fine.
I just think their chest pieces and their shoulders
should remain kind of where they're at.
And I don't know what their answer is gonna be
when we get to the point where there's tons of rage.
They go that route eventually, though, right?
And I don't know, is it cat or mop,
or like the weapon has a ton of spell power
and then every other item just has it, right?
And then it gives spell power,
but the raw spell power is on the weapon
just to like kind of line it up.
You think they should do it like that instead?
I think, no, I'm not saying they should,
but like that's what they ended up doing
at least a mop and whatever.
But like...
But in this, they have spell damage on gear.
It's spell damage and gear.
Yeah, and I think they should.
And I'm just concerned as well.
Well, how would you do it for healers then?
Because they said they want healers
to also have spell damage.
So how much does the intellect affect their heels?
And there's, uh, well, it doesn't give a spell power in, uh, well, you were
saying that's how they did it in mob vanilla.
Well, yeah, but I, I mean, I think you, you probably do a mix of spirit.
And so you would want healers to be stacking spirit.
And see now you have, now you have a matter region issue.
Cause you do want these healers to be going there.
So I think the way they did it is correct.
You have the spell damage and then you also have a little tapered plus healing at the end of the spell damage gear
Or vice versa healing and then the spell damage after yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, it's good for open world leveling. It's makes you able to level, you know, like yeah
No, I again I like that healers and you know spellcasters are getting that extra spell damage while leveling at the low level gear
I just worry they get the numbers get too high too quickly
Yeah, yeah, and I don't know what they're gonna be when they get so many dungeons and raids that it's like
sure it's just all relative right yeah what will they do at the end we'll get
there when we get there initially I think it's gonna be horizontal it'll feel bad
to you it's one of the things where like what at the end of sod if you hit 60
you just got your gear to the point where you could not totally grief your
raid and then you would do like knacks and just get gigabits right like it
would just be like no knacks is a terrible decision gear wise it was
maybe not like whatever the raid was it you just could skip like three
are four rain tears straight to the end which feels bad. I don't want to you still had to
go back for MC a band of a Curie and other things like that. Pretty sure a Nixia tooth
pendant was good for a hot minute.
But you just didn't have to like go through tier one and then tier two and then tier three
and like your character just kind of skipped a lot of content as I'm saying. Yeah.
And so there's got to be a fun way to make this gear relevant longer.
Maybe it's like...
You say just more than just stats.
Yes.
Like maybe it's maybe you can like build a healing over time set or build a...
I mean, I don't know.
We'll see what they do.
Well, so there's a lot of heal over time set.
There's a lot of cool itemization that they've done.
And I think that the trinkets especially look really dope.
I don't know if you guys saw, but there's like biomes that they added
where the things are better in certain areas, which I thought was really cool.
Like, so I'm happy because I remember how frustrating
fires this was when they did.
So everyone hated it.
Well, they've made a bad trust there where it was primary.
People would have loved it if the if the tier point five, the dungeon
set actually had fire resin you did the quest because you did it you did it it
was so cool and you didn't get to use it so that was that was like really dumb
um no but how else would you make it again maybe it works differently in
certain biomes you have to work on multiple gear sets based on where you're
going exactly you have a course biome set or a tundra biome set or a desert
biome set all that stuff's really cool yeah like staff of West was a 2%
movement speed in elwin west vault all squirted red ridge like that kind of
Stuff is awesome, but that's level in here.
Sure.
I'm just using as an example of what I'm curious what you're going to be out
the line.
Um, well, you know, you know, we know what everyone's in a lot.
Every either of them want, you know, it's a leveling gear.
Is that white main ship?
Oh, that gives you 20% more.
Yeah, exactly.
Increase your rest time.
I think, I think so.
Like that is, is cool to have.
I got the, I think bad of marbles, but like a permanent
bed of marbles, right?
Like I get the line.
That's going to be so fucked, dude.
Oh my God.
But I think it's, it's cool to have gear that I'm going to use this.
I got to level 40 and I get to use that 60 on certain niche situations that benefit me.
I don't want it to be player power, but like beneficial in some way she performed like,
yeah, right.
So that's a sure of the, yeah, or that 6% movement increase gloves you get when you're
in winter spring that farmers are going to want.
If you're like mining RTVs, you're going to try to find that rare spawn that drops
that imagine they have something like instead of the region bag, they had the gear bag
Gear that you have to like basically lock in it's unsellable. It's unmovable or whatever and you just have this massive bag of just fucking
99% of the time useless fucking gear, but then you know, you have a hundred pieces in there every now and then you got that 1%
You just start stacking up shit, you know, it could be cool. I really like the bags are like item management
People say they don't like it, but I really think it's
important like
It's such an RPG-esque mechanic that being able to just have an infinite inventory just
sucks, and I really don't want to like carry all my shit around.
I don't know.
It's a separate bag that you have to like put gear into that you use.
But then you're not putting other stuff in your main bags.
Everything else goes, oh, as you're saying.
It might as well just be extra slots in the end.
Yeah, I mean, there's flaws in the random thing
I threw out, you're right.
There's like, it's like picking your load out
before you go out of town.
You know what I mean?
It's like, what do I think I'm gonna get into?
I gotta prepare, which I kinda like.
The reagent bag I also really hate.
Like, I want my candles to be in my regular bags.
All that stuff I think is important.
The Hunter have a quiver, that's not a reagent bag.
So they're double-leaf, I don't know.
Yeah.
I just really think that the reagent bag feels unnecessary.
And at the same time.
The reagent bag is fine.
The legacy removes the reagent bag necessity entirely,
because once you get the talent,
you don't need them anymore.
I have a thought of all that maybe would
please the majority side.
And so that would be like, maybe there's a questioner.
And we're going back to spec that again,
if you don't really want to do too much,
there's something that you can do
to reward you with more backspace.
Like there's like some horizontal quest chains
that you do, hey, this, you do this
and now you open up a new back slot
or you open up that infinite bag.
I think the infinite bag isn't terrible for gear.
Like I said, yeah, because I'm a tank, I'm a tank.
What do you play?
Glad you had, I'm a tank man.
So I, as a prop out and you know, at least a TPC.
That's what I want to hear.
So you you me I bring out five gear sets
All right. Yes, and it is pain
It is not fun. There is no room. I can't do fucking anything
And that's just you know classic. So you it's a difference on you know what class you play
So I would like yeah, I wouldn't mind a bag of 30 pieces of gear
I can bring out and I would love a trinket bag or something like that, too
You know all these fucking like I go out in the world. I have four bags of trinkets
I'm wrote title charm fire reflector frost reflector all this bullshit
And I just feel frustrated when I don't have it and I'm sitting here at my gilbing like do I bring this stuff out?
And then when it's like I wish I brought it out. I don't have it now
So I would like to personally have that but you're right like your bag space should be limited
There should be limitations
Adding the reagent bag. I don't think it's a big deal. It's just otherwise reagent bags are fucking pointless at all times
I don't mind it. Maybe make him smaller, I guess. Maybe since it's a whole extra bag.
It's just it's another thing. It's another quality of life thing. Like I just it's a
slippery slope and starting with it off the rip makes me nervous as well. So I like it.
It's not it's not a huge deal. I think quality life is yeah. I like quality
life tbh a lot of it yeah i think oh when you i get it it's the slippery slope policy right
by scares me so when you play flying mounts in six months they're not having fun i don't think
they're oranges apples the oranges i think it's apples the oranges so i know i did get a twitch
ad for wow forever that's pretty cool i saw some things on there didn't see before oh they got
which adds of wow forever
Yeah, I just saw one right now. I saw that so do you know what would be cool?
Can you call them and ask them for creator codes?
The devs
Speed
Red bro, I asked them about that the other day and they were like
All I got was just silence and a slight smile so whatever
Uh, maybe we'll send we'll sell some like fortnight dances, but the wow forever dances surely creator codes
Start ripping all the fucking fortnight dances and throw them in I think that'd be phenomenal
Okay speaking of the legacy system and that stuff I
Was watching as we react to the legacy of something he didn't seem like a fan this morning
He's a hate watcher of everything. He's a hate slob. He actually loved that. He loved almost everything. I was shocked
insane, how was that?
Who cares I hate that but like they what? I
was just
interested in his reaction is I mean it was whatever but
The legacy system I think was the one thing that he wasn't a huge fan of probably because he's never gonna play more than one character
No, but like do you think it?
Is going to incentivize you to play multiple characters or it is yes
People that actually play the game good. Yes people who I'm not gonna say the talents are good
There's some that I'm worried about again the five early talent points of what I'm most I'm not sure how it's gonna actually play out
You gotta add longevity fucking somewhere
You have to what the fuck else do you you want to just I mean and some people like yes
That's what I want just classic with extra raids
And maybe some balancing here and there I I personally want a little bit more and of course when it comes to balancing
That's when you start adding stuff in that's kind of what they did
I
Kind of like the legacy system. I don't know if those talents are exactly what I want, but I do want some things here
I definitely like quality of life
I mean we can all try and live like we're LARP that were 2004 and whatever but these fuckers just don't actually play the game
They don't actually play. I like the quality of the stuff and to be a slippery slope of
gatekeeping new players
From playing with the old players because I feel like a lot of the time is gonna be like that's what's your legacy level?
Do you're right? Yeah, right? That's where I'm not sure how things will play out
Like I'm not gonna. What's your legacy level? You got the early towns? Nah. Yeah, pass. Yeah
That's why that town in specific is where I'm most hesitant on bonus rested XP
Whatever faster flying mounts, what at well the flight travel, whatever
Reduced repair bill whatever it'll add up like these are big changes faster leveling of professions
Whatever like these things are good and they're game changing
But not when it comes to grouping up with someone so I'm hesitant on the early xp levels
It's when it comes to leveling, but I'll again. That's just for alts and stuff like that
it interesting because there's there's so much room for them to expand it and
Um, I think that's a good thing, but it, you know, we have to trust them, I guess, that they're going to understand us and, uh,
over time, things do slide into, uh, bad places in this game. You know what I mean? And so,
it's one of those things like that. I think that's why the no changes thing was so important was like,
we don't trust you to, to, to make any changes. So don't make, to make the right changes. So don't make any changes.
And like, obviously, I think we trust them more now after this announcement, I could argue about some stuff, but maybe I maybe it's just maybe I got to like, I got to talk with the devs and I have a pretty strong faith in that team.
But I completely understand that other people don't.
So I get it.
I don't think I have.
I have faith in the team.
I don't have faith in leadership.
I think is what it is what makes me nervous is like the finance people and the leadership to we're like, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how the business works.
I don't know if some fucking business Corpo villain from Superman walks in and is like,
all right, you know, slays a briefcase down and starts throwing papers and says,
here's the deal and just starts saying things.
I don't have good things in the past, right?
And so that's all I'm saying.
I think after because I get to speak to Tim
Agrond and and Clay and it's just like they care.
You can tell they care and I have my, yeah, maybe that the higher
Corpo bullshit, whatever, whatever.
But I, the people who are developing the game, I think it's just like they are very excited.
And you can tell that they were so happy to announce what they announced.
And they, they want us to like it and wake up and they will, I think they're
going to be able to swallow their pride.
Because I feel like sometimes they haven't been right when they put something in.
They know you're going to like this.
We trust us. We work so hard on this but I feel like with this it's like hey wow y'all universally hate this
We're gonna take it out
It's a corporation you guys like yes the developers are nice people that we love and I like all of them
But it's a fucking corporation making billions of dollars. Let's not make it emotional like it's I'm emotional man
Sorry well, I mean there's also an argument you made that you know making the player base happy is financially responsible
Yeah, so I don't think it's gonna it's not like some
Villains is gonna come here and just steal your fucking money here and there now the players and what they actually buy
Again, they buy these things here every now and then and then it can be a downward slope
So I don't know again
I'm not fucking blizzard and I don't know how the ins and outs works, but I understand the distrust I get it. Yeah
Okay, well, I think like it's
Also think it's reality not red
I'm very excited about how they're going to expand it over time.
I think it's a cool way to implement achievements without doing achievements, and they did say
they're not going to make you heal somebody and say happy birthday or whatever the fuck
it was.
There's a switch keeping in retail that's ridiculous, but they're just like things
you're gonna want to do while you're leveling anyways or things you're gonna
want to do at 60 anyways I'm completely lost what are you talking about yeah I
just think that the the things that give you points aren't fucking pull seven
murlocs and dance with them you know what I mean that they're like
actually at the game already wants you to do yeah 60 and do this raid yeah
And and do this country's yeah, I'm burnt she shitty achievements is all on I'm
People assuming they were
No, but that's what retail has there's a lot of like dumb achievements that they could have gone with
Are you worried that's gonna happen to classic or something?
No, I was I was giving them their flowers. I think that's a good choice. Oh, okay
Okay
You just assume I'm being negative every time I'm not
Yeah, yeah, okay
Yeah, it's a good thing. I think it looks good. Yeah, I think
It's it's it's meaningful you you get it done and you get awarded for it
And I think I think it's a I think the legacy system like Tim Jones said just no
There's no catch-up system just play the game and return in regards to gearing but the the makeup for that is that you get these cool
Buffs to your alts now. Yeah, so when you and encourage you to level your alts because we do one at a level
Alt and TBC anniversary, right?
That's like, I don't know.
I'll genuinely be excited to have,
and this is where the topic,
I'll be excited to have those talent points early.
But I do see the longevity being an issue.
I think the 5.1 is not great because again,
I'm thinking of everything that's a tank.
And if you're a new tank
and everyone else around you has five more talent points
and they want you to respect.
If they want you to respect that
and you can't respect threat
when you have five more talents than your tank.
So that's the only issue I see really
is that it makes it really hard for that new tank player.
And if you're a new tank player, bro,
they're already hard to you as it is.
They're gonna really rip onto you.
Right.
That's why I think-
You can't tank as a new player
once we get deep into the game without those talents.
So are you able to get 16 point talents as a twink or no?
Yeah.
Yes. No, you'll get 15 point talents, right?
At level 19 you'd have 14 points. Are you at level 16 stuff? Oh fuck
You would have
10 15 point
Because you know, yeah, you'll have 15 points. You can't yeah, yeah, I think like okay
So that's not doesn't break things probably wouldn't that make tweaking even more like really locked in to like being making it tweaking
Like you have those extra things too because everyone's tweak is gonna be there alright
Popular drinks on top. I don't even think they're that popular anymore
They killed it when it came to modern gaming and like the fact that locking your XP gets you completely separated from other people
Yeah, I know that was the dumbest decision they make. I loved my level 19 rogue twink
It was the coolest shit ever
We gotta change this word by the way because I don't know what twink means anymore. Yeah, no, you're right
It's it's an iffy word. I had like four level 19 twinks
But I do remember it was it became a problem like people just stopped doing bgs
Like you wouldn't get cues anymore people literally just stopped and then it's a forever show
If things aren't going to change, I think Twinks are totally cool. I don't know
They're cool, but in reality is people just stop doing the keys because I'm not gonna get one shot. It's just not fun. I
Remember the drinks. I remember when like that change happened. I've had Twinks
I didn't 29 out of 39. I even had a little 49 twink. I twinked like crazy
I'm fucking right. We got to change that word. Um, but yeah, no, we're keeping
Twinks. That's my new that's my new sub layers. You saying I twinkly. Um, yeah, no, it was a problem.
People just stopped doing bgs and then they made it to where when you stop xp, you're no longer
with people and I think they made bgs give xp, but then people just stopped doing bgs. It was
just gone. It was already dying. I think now there is still a twink community. I go back
and I watch videos with 1500 views on them on YouTube. Yeah, I watch and they're just like 19
twink bg's versus other 19 twink pre-mades and it's like 30 people doing it, but it's still there,
but it's twinks versus twinks. It's like why even do it then? Yeah. Do you think that like
you're talking about twinks, you know, 20 years later, do you think the person that you steamrolled
at level 15 remembers that? They have no idea how I did it. They don't even know what a
a crusader enchant was at the time it's just so much more fun to have than to not
i that was when i was going through puberty and i remember i would punch my monitor and i broke
my mouse because people would steal my killing blows in a random war song gulch my dad came in
and was like what the fuck is wrong with you it was puberty i was really angry and they took
my killing blow as if it mattered now it's like who cares there's a different mindset go around
now. It did matter. It mattered to me at least. They took the kill and blow. Yeah. These 19 other
people in the scoreboard are judging me. You know, but it was a cool time. It was time. You'll
never get it again. You know, when you get in it, you'd inspect the twink in your battleground,
like who's the fuck? Who's our leader in this battleground? Who's the one? Yeah.
And you felt like a fucking champion. But again, that's gone. I don't think it's ever
coming back. And I understand why. Well, you know what else is gone the same way.
How do you feel? I know you feel with weapon skill. Thank God it's doing away with that. Yeah, I'm gonna feel like yeah, because I I
It's just so frustrating man like I
I was a new one till like class of 19 actually and even middle of it
I wanted to play a dwarf warrior my original character was a dwarf warrior named MD Luffy
And I wanted to play that guy again, and then I realized that there's weapons skill
I know there's weapons to work again so trust me trust me trust me. It's significantly reduced
Yeah, and it's just I feel like I made a mistake because now I've got the edge masters gone
You did make a mistake like that there's an argument that you did make a mistake and
People the world's not filled with min-maxers, but min-maxers will tell you you're wrong constantly
Yeah, so it's just the real yeah, and that and yeah, I get it like the people who hate parsing
I totally get it, trust me, but it's it's it's it's something people notice and when unfortunately people sprinkle
But the trickles down right the 1% that people do
Tringles down so what nobody should have to do
but they want to do it because they want to copy what they do and
Weapon skill is just it's it's thought had its own little answer which that was good, too
But yeah, I know that weapons was gonna wait, but I think they're bringing expertise in though, right?
Yeah, there's some expertise they showed the edge masters gauntlets a little bit here. Yeah, it's just it was just plus one is the plus sevens
They reduced that significantly
I mean the level 44 gloves should not be pre raid this
No, man, it's it's it was a problem
Yeah, it's got yeah, it's horizontal to progression. It's not it's not it's a it's a flaw that we
It's actually just this the whole game
Yeah, I remember when I finally took it off on my door four years, I got hungering cold.
So I put on hungering cold and chromatic sword. Cool. I finally took that off. Great. Love it.
I know there's purists who love it. I get it, but it's obvious. Come on. It's a huge flaw that
shouldn't exist anymore. You just you just lose an equipment slot and then you forget about it.
Yeah. You are now removing all glove dopamine for the entire game.
That's the reality like yeah, like you can go farm some gold and get it. Grats. You're done. That's it. You have the gloves. That's gear
That's it
Yeah, it's just it's it's a
It's it's just God. So do you do you take often?
As a bear tank. Yes, every night. I've taken quite a bit
Are you are you trying to hope for something similar to how we gear like in TBC or like
really like I didn't they didn't bring any like tank stats up which I was gonna
shocked about because I'll be I know I'm just the take it well give me an example
out in character of what state for no problem knowing do I need a gear for
avoidance like do we want to achieve avoidance cap in in well forever because
we do it in TBC and we did it in sod you wanted to achieve the 102.5% or
4% avoidance to eliminate crushing blows because crushing blows matter and
I'm like do we do we want that is that gonna happen still because
That's not it's just really important
I think the tanking
Or else we're gonna get the fury proud warrior again, and then we're gonna do something like
I think you just generate more thread like it depends on the rates
I noticed in feral for example, there's a talent that yeah does you bet you want to stack defense
Which insinuates there will be enough defense available. Otherwise, that wouldn't be in the talent system
What was the feral talent that did that?
It was thick armor. It was some crazy calculation of like based on your level and everything over
50 or something it would give you
Defensive stat or some bullshit fuck someone. Where's the talent calculator? It's some freak made it already
Okay, let me pull it up really quick here it is
Yeah, Druid, Bikhide, while in bear form, cat form, dire bear, whatever, gain an additional
one or three additional base armor per level and another two base armor for each point
of defense skill beyond five times your levels.
This is like a mouthful.
Yeah, this is toxic.
Holy fuck.
So, yeah, it's just, Matt, I just stopped reading it, but essentially you want to
Yeah, so yeah, I was that's just my thing is like I like you know, I've done the parts the cringe tank parses or whatever
And it's fun to max out your damage, but at the same time it's like I like when like I keep bringing up TV see if it's fresh
So forgive me for that. I love like prop out and becomes online in
Really really strong in the black temple face that gear is so good and we get we can like actually mitigate damage
But but here's the difference. Let's assume you're new to TBC
You don't know the game at all and you just started playing TBC and your prop Paladin is now worthless
And you don't know what's gonna become online
Yeah, that's that's very true. Yeah, I totally go to saying and it's it's a
Stop part of things in general is confusing too
Because there's nothing that tells you you want to achieve crush cuz there's nothing in the game
That tells you what avoidance cap is
There's a thing that tells you what creek cap is
and
And maybe it's not in there to simplify the, you know, for new players, but it's, it's
something I, I hope like, Hey, this is something you want to gear for and you want to gear
for being a, um, you know, person, people say, look up guys, guys, I work for a moment.
So I tell you, trust me, I write guides, but I do hate that the game doesn't tell
you because there's a lot of stuff.
Do I lose money from what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
But I want the game to help you out.
I'm just not getting payments.
It's fun.
I know.
I, I, I, I, I, sorry.
to get. How did you guys feel about the the decimal percents? What do you mean? Like 0.5
percent hit or create you know. I didn't see anything like that. Where'd you see that? Oh yeah.
Gear has. Oh on the gear. Fractions of a percent. Yeah. I think that's very good because it's like
it's going to the power creep. I think if stats are small like that then it's answering for now
an eventual problem. It's better than rating that's for sure. Yeah, but the thing is like
crit chance scales with your actual damage in itself so it could be 2% crit and it's still not
too strong. Maybe I'm stupid because you're just doubling the damage of what you hit for,
right? But again, power of rape, you're right. Is there like the strength that might be just be
clueless? I just think that it's nice when things are flat round numbers. And I'm not as into the
decimals of percents. But maybe it's nice just for gearing to make things a little bit more balanced
over time. Because like, you can't put 1% crit on everything. Everything breaks, right? So
Yeah, you know, I think it's I think it's good because like you're gonna eventually see stuff as 3% credit and like
What's right 5% credit? Hey, it's just it's I see it as a temporary
Solution because the rating the rating again, it's it's so confusing to a new player. I have 29 hit rating with the ratings. That was
What does that mean bro? Like what like to me 1% 2% point 5%
Did you notice that they did a really nice
nice stat explainer on the tooltips if you moused over the stats on the character panel.
No, I don't know why I didn't do that because I should have, but...
It was really clean. I really liked it. I don't know. I was, I was, it just felt like
something that they didn't have to do that they didn't. It made it really new friendly.
Yeah, my monitor was 50 feet from my face. I was so frustrated at my setup.
I just I remember turning and as fans yapping and you're just like leaned over and getting as close as you could
So frustrated with my setup. Yeah. I'm sorry. That is what it is
But at least I got to play for like 12 hours, you know, I got more than just yeah
It's funny. I spent the whole time going over talents now. There's a talent calculator. I bet that
How long you guys were not playing the game
I could not believe it was first look at talents man. Like I was so goddamn curious. Yeah, of course
Yeah, okay
What is next there's okay ready? Let's talk about hardcore. Yeah. I'm totally done. I'm talking about hardcore
Going into this
What were you hoping?
Hope from just all from hardcore
No, from from forever like did you want hardcore at launch?
Did you know I did not want hardcore at launch?
Okay, but you wanted hardcore period. Obviously. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll do but yeah, did you want to see?
I feel like they gave it a lot of attention they gave it they gave it an entire panel which was really cool
What'd they say about it actually what the whole panel?
Yeah, the the last panel of the weekend for classic was I was probably on a fucking
I didn't get to see it. I don't think what they say it
It wasn't that there wasn't a lot of announcements, but it was just like yeah, what do they say?
I
I don't know chat. What did they say? I only watched the
highlights
They talked about like the the creation of it and some of the history and stuff
It was there was no other history pretty much, but like you know, it's we're gonna implement this
We're doing it. Okay. Yeah
Well, I mean, I'm glad they're doing hardcore. It's fucking awesome. Of course. I'm happy about that if they didn't we'd have an add-on
They probably know that yeah, you know, because we're gonna be doing it
But I did not want hardcore on release. I was actually talking with are you fine? I don't know
I interrupted I don't know if it's enough time
But I talked with say Zaryu and all of them and we were talking like so
Classic Plus comes out. Would we want to do like an only fangs instantly a big guild?
and
It was debated because there's a lot of hype with a new expansion, but
Hardcore has never really been done in Wow where the game wasn't solved
Yes, it's never been done every iteration of I mean because the game's been solved for 15 years
So yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be buggy as shit. Yeah, I guarantee you. Yeah, I do a bug
It's gonna be it's gonna feel real bad. Oh, yeah, there was one that was announced there. There's a this is actually huge
If there's a new layering system that warns you
When you're gonna
See you get to like actually like like oh shit
I'm gonna it's like I go somewhere safe before I get layered here
Have you ever swapped layers in combat?
Yeah, because I have.
Yeah.
Uh, not even in a group that only happens.
Walk the layers.
It's awful.
That only happens when your layer was on CD and it just happens when you don't
expect it like, what the fuck?
Oh, I forgot I was in cutie layer.
Um, but no, we talked about whether or not we want to do hardcore right away
and there, there is actually a charm in doing it when the game isn't solved.
Um, and the game has a lot of initial hype right away.
was a content creator of course you kind of fucking love that but the downsides is once
you play the game in hardcore it feels a little bit off going back to normal and I do think
it's better to probably spread the cool down of let's just enjoy the game is non hardcore
for a bit and just like die and run back okay see the dungeons I think it's better but
there are again there's pros and cons and it's debated behind the scenes between you
You know me's are you and all the all the only things people really? Yeah, so what's better? I'm kind of glad
They're just like a greater you want both right you want to start with one to play the game and then it just gives a lot of
Contra care obviously, but yeah, I
Would rather not play hardcore off the rip
I want to see what the games got and I want to be constantly terrified. Yeah, and also like hardcore doesn't have PVP
You know it just doesn't I we'll see if there's fucking
Not hardcore even as PVP even talk about it. We'll see what they're what's even gonna happen. I know man
But it is a different game you're playing and it is really fun. I fucking love hardcore
But I personally don't want to just jump into it right away. I want to just enjoy the game
You know truthfully and I have to say I don't enjoy hardcore
But if I play if I open with hardcore, I'm gonna level to 15 and die to some new rare mob
But what the fuck is this and then re-level and that's funny
But let's get to level 20 now and die again, and I'm just fucking chain-dying
And then you hate the game. I wouldn't hate the game, but like holy fuck
Yeah, but again there there is charm
It's the only moment we'll ever be able to do hardcore in an unsolved game and it's unfortunate
But I do think the better cause to delay it and I'm glad they're delaying our door. So
They said winter right so sometime probably January February which seems a little
I would rather six months, but whatever. What is it like three months? I don't know orders of the months
Yeah, I think it's like three months the briefs
All right, the game comes out November. Yeah, yeah, thank you
December 9th, but in my head I almost kind of like that
Because like I said you want to kind of capitalize on the initial hype of the expansion releasing so for the only things
You know you can kind of
Chain, chain your pipe, I guess, it's my open thoughts.
I love chain and pipe.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think the idea that it's just to lay the patch, I think you brought that up, Jordy,
like hardcore is just a patch behind the rest of the game makes a lot of sense because
you can always make sure the game works.
And then that way you're never, you're never getting a buggy shit.
That's not my idea.
stop but I think yeah, it's a good thought. Yeah, be one pass behind.
I think you just have to like screenshot a patch and make sure that it's
fully bug-free and then that would is the one the hardcore is sitting on.
Yeah, so the chatters are saying they did mention a Mac Gora arena. That's like an ad.
Whoa. Mac Gora. Yeah.
Do they describe how it'll play out? How it works?
Really I
Worry because so the Mock garage like your range the the dual range is fucking massive
I worry that their arena like you look at the arena in org. There's like no where to run
Obviously, I'm a druid. I'm a kite class. I want more room. It's part of how you can even beat some matchups
Even hunters mages
So I worry their arena might be small even the Lagura Bashirina is alright. It's pretty decent size
But I think my right size yeah, so but it's not it's not gonna be in at launch the macro arena
Mac Gora, but we'll mark Gora. Yeah, what who cares it's a fake word. Um, okay, uh, I
Okay, let's start
wrapping up
There did we talk about Sky Elves at all? I
I
Was saving it for last because I wanted you to give me your rent because
We were yelling at each other last night in DMs and I was excited to I mean it's not really much of a rant
But it's like I have my opinion
Okay, so Sky Elves I think the single most visible feature of
Forever I got a pee before I'm listening to a lot of people are not fans
There's been, I think it's probably the most surprising reveal of the entire thing because
it obviously didn't exist before this announcement.
Hopefully, we get some type of lore connection with the Warcraft 3 campaign or whatever, but
Apparently they are
Highborn who communed with
the air elementals flew up into the sky and
became avatar
dudes I
Know where your band. Sorry, buddy. You just have to fuck up
The law was about big to the high born of dire mall and they escaped. Yeah, yeah
Shandralla now, which is not something but like I I
I just feel like it was the most
Tone deaf in terms of what players want I would have loved my elves for the
For all I guess for alliance I guess and ogres for horde I don't know all right
So that I wanted ogres. I wanted ogres
Would you play an ogre?
Fuck yeah, I'm playing ogre dude. I just don't think you I think
So we're all a bunch of old fish dads like bunch of people would play ogre
They say they would and then in reality look at the data they would know bullshit
So ours would be dope when when they released TBC
There was a faction in balance because people wanted to play races
So they had to bring in one of us and this is another issue that came in down the line again during classic and whatnot
Now we're on one mega server right or whatever it's called. So I agree though
I don't think the scalves or sky elves the scalves sounds like a slur. Maybe we work with that
Yeah, no, that's not legs we're skills. So I do think scales could have been different. There was one the argument of ogre and high elf
No, that would fuck over faction balance
It just would and you can say I play ogre, but the re it's not how it would play out
It would play out differently. There was a pose where people were saying you should do a high elf and a forsaken
High elf that would have been fucking cool
And it kind of maintains the horde so I'll go with that. I mean what are they called the Valinar or something?
yeah, the dudes from a
ICC the trio. Yeah, the sanguine are I think right now the volunteers are correct. Yeah. Yeah
no
the blue
Vampire
There's a lot of sand the sand lanes and lane. Yeah, that would have been cool. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been sick actually
So there weren't better options, but yeah, the sky elves are is what we got and that ain't gonna change
They have a whole fucking zone. Of course, it's not changing
They have a whole zone built and fleshed out and I really like I understand the frustration
But my annoyance is it fucking sidewines every conversation and every single person making a post
They make the ugliest possible blue character. They can bluey blue bad and it's just fucking hate farming
It's so annoying. I find it annoying. Yeah
And it just sidewines every conversation when it's like can we talk about I don't know the some
Mechanics of the game some other stuff. It's kind of fucking annoying to be honest and again. They're basically just blood elves
No, one's gonna be blue. No, no one's gonna be blue. No, I made a character's a lot of
No, yeah, cuz you could even opt to not be blue and I think that's that's the big hay right?
I think there's a blue character in my game. It's like that's what people are mad about blue is not classic blue characters
Don't exist. This is an egg. Look at trolls. I
Oh, yeah, but ugly ugly trolls, right? I
I just don't like
I get it. It's just it's the same crowd, you know of the
Arguing I'm not gonna get into that too much, but it's like it's blue. Blue is bad. I hate this
It just feels like
If you're gonna do forever like wow forever why come up with a brand new thing first? Why not like fill in?
The canvas and then do whatever you want. I yeah, that's the thing that I like
Do you think they shouldn't have had a race yet? Like there's no race reveal?
No, I'm down that I want them to but I just wanted them to do the things that already are missing like they're doing with everything else in the game
Right like every I'm sorry. I would play yours. I
Have so much doubt wrong dude. I don't think I am
You should see the classic plus project discord everyone's posting. I don't give a fuck what those people say other than dad instead
But people say it's different from the fucking data.
People don't actually play the ugly races.
They just don't.
Okay.
Then then Hiles would have been nice to know why they didn't do Hile necessarily.
Um, because Hiles have a history and a, uh, home that I think they could have
drawn more, more inspiration from it than creating a random fucking thing in the sky.
Um, yeah, uh, you know, there, there were a lot of choices.
I think that they didn't go with for whatever reason hopefully they're able to fill that in here's what I wish they did
I wish they did the high off in the forsaken and then maybe add ogres later
You'd need to have a pretty race you need to get that faction balance
Secured so again a pretty race on horde had to happen
It's it being a it being something that didn't exist before is makes me makes me sad
Not no
that's that the the chenvilla itself not really it's it's the that they're
high board there they are technically still high board or just yeah we got
oh yeah but it's like they're they gave them a backstory to I appreciate that
they created lore from like dire mall which is a very cool place but they
didn't do anything they didn't like any runway they just created a whole
cloth dropped with the patch like I guess I but at least they but they
But they explained it at least they didn't say here that in the house they exist they they're using a la quia, which I love those areas
I hated that there wasn't a sky area in Cataclysm
They're using all that stuff, and I think they the panel it breaks down they go into a pretty deep lore of
Yes, he's fine. I'm a lot are they also just recolored night elf buildings blue. I didn't give them any interesting like
racial identity. You know what I mean? It's just I agree. It is. It is. It is. It is.
It's Grisly Hills fucking night elf buildings, right? Like, blood elves have such a. It should
be out. It should be elf buildings. I wish they didn't just were reskin blood elves.
I wish there was maybe some unique or slightly different animations that could have been
cool. They skimped out on it. Yeah. It's just a little bit productive. And they
just don't have a lot of it kind of feels like void elf where they were just
to do it. And so I don't know. They didn't have to. They have to do
Boydolph. I think you just did it for fucking retail. Yeah, more
else. I'm just saying Boydolph, they didn't they didn't really
explain that they didn't exist up until the moment that they
decided to drop them. So whatever. Did you see their dances
for them? They're a little bit. I think they're fucking
awesome. Yeah, I thought actually I was good. Good.
Okay. The other thing is they cost $30. What do you all
thoughts on that? They themselves don't cost $30, right? Like all the new stuff.
No, the race costs $30. What? There's no way. That's how it is.
Is it a separate microchip transaction for the racer? Is it just what the game costs?
No, the game doesn't cost anything. Yeah. You just have to subscribe and you get the game,
but the race itself costs $30. What are your thoughts on that?
Well, you said the racial sucks, so it's like pay to lose, right? So I guess it's
What a weird choice. I
Mean hey if you don't want to be if you hate the blue people that you don't like you don't kind of buy them
Right, so this is the people who hate the blues
scowls
This is
The scalps out of here
My I honestly just wish the game was 30 bucks. That's a foul take
I mean ideally it's I agree but the fact the race cost 30 that's where I have worry on the future of oh
Are they opening the door to charge things?
Additional features if the game was $30, okay
Get the game and then the features just come in
So it has me worried on the direction of what they're going to do on selling stuff and adding things
I mean ultimately it just it just changes where they're charging right like but
Yeah, if it's I get it if the game is 30 bucks great, but that's this mean okay new race by this one, too
I mean maybe that is gonna be and this one too. I mean again like it's wow forever
So we're gonna be into expansion so you're gonna probably have to buy expand and their expansions are you have to play the game
So their expansions are gonna be races that you can choose to pay for that's true
So how else will they maybe that's how it's yeah, no, that's true. No, I that's yeah, I
Because it's all interconnected
There's not gonna be tons like a giant new continent, right like you so they got to figure out where to put it somewhere
Yeah, you got a word of a charge like it again in your expansion. You still have to be able to play the game
without and so
Uh, yeah, maybe that's how it is. So and again like this to me is fucking whatever
It is to me
Performative no, you are right. Yes. It's annoying. Do a certain crowd for internet points and that is all it is
I mean, but again, there is arguments for it. I understand the arguments for it
I understand a little out of place and yeah, they were way better options, but holy fuck
That's all. But those arguments get they get pushed down because the louder
people saying the dumb things can make it and get their voices heard more.
So like any actual nuanced conversation goes away because blue bad.
I appeal to X crowd for this.
I'm kind of venting because after Blizzcon, I went home
and I was so excited to read about everyone being pumped.
And it was just I couldn't find anything.
Dude, I. I. Blue elves.
I when I looked up,
I want to look a while for a reaction and see reaction.
I saw all these guys like, bro, what?
What the fuck?
Bro, you would these people weren't even they weren't there
because the energy in that arena was awesome.
If you were at Liskon and you felt the energy when they were announcing
Classic Plus, it was an amazing feeling.
And then I want to watch people's reactions and people are just like,
it's just fuck that, man.
I really think most people were very favorable.
I think I don't know what your guys's algos were.
But everything I saw was positive.
Everything I saw was positive, too.
But they always say, I want a disclaimer, I'm not happy about the scalps.
But that's OK.
Why do you think you can say that?
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
You just blaze everything, then you become an unreliable.
I just again, I'm like on cooldown because I was reading those fucking threads.
So soon as I see another one, I'm already at tilt level, right?
No, yeah, I totally I am 100% on this.
I get what you're saying.
It's so fucking annoying, dude.
So outside of that did you guys see the zone? Yes. Yes. So you just you hated the buildings?
What about the music? Or the sky born? The sky born area. It was it was it's awesome.
It's I might sound weird saying this it doesn't feel like a real game but in a good way. It's like
this is so new. It's cool. I don't want to say it feels kind of private server-esque but
official, but something like that.
It just feels like a lot of efforts.
I there's a effort into it.
It was cool.
I didn't I didn't love there is a zone.
I'll be honest with you.
Uh, it was pretty, but like it just felt a little bit, uh, uninteresting.
Do you know what level you leave that zone at?
I got some people were saying 12, some were saying 20.
I think it's probably 20 just based off of where I was at.
Wow.
Um, I, I don't think it's like earlier.
So you end up in the Barons with everyone else.
I, I, it's 12.
Okay.
So, uh, well, yeah, that's where it's at.
Uh, I, I do think that the gear that you got looked way too cool compared to the
gear that you get for every other race.
Like she was a two handed sword that just looked like fucking max weapon.
And I was like, dude, this is not, this is not what it should look like.
It, it was kind of like blood elf starting area where like everything
just looked cool as shit.
Was it as strong as blood elf area gear or was it weaker?
like I hadn't gotten to the greens yet.
So I think you should be walking out of there with two greens, Max.
Yeah, I would imagine it's probably better because it's a premium experience.
But like, but you will replace it like soon with the normal bearing.
Sure.
What? Yeah.
But like I you just want it to be congruent with every other starting experience.
Okay.
You don't you don't want awesome now, like back down like I see.
Yeah.
Well, you still have your wrist on.
ready? Yeah. Uh, bro, I've been, I've, I've been, I've gotten the total of probably six
hours of sleep in these past two days. I don't even know this was on till right now.
I couldn't sleep with that on and I didn't have scissors. So I took like this weird,
I don't even know what it was in the hotel. I think it's supposed to like,
you're supposed to like pick up trims with it or something. I just started clawing at this
thing for like 30 minutes, slowly breaking. I actually bent the metal bar that I was using
and fucked over these are so hard to get off by the way I said why can't I pull these off
yeah you can just get scissors true you see that guy you gotta be yelling at spam because
he's holding his his fucking yes I know so lame dude come on ever because everybody there
this is the best part of blizzcon everybody there was so nice yeah almost everyone there and that
guy was like ruining the vibe because everybody there was did you deal with that guy and I
I didn't ever see him.
I didn't, but I just, I saw that and I don't know.
It takes a lot to piss off as fan, you know,
especially as a camera in this space.
True.
So like he, he's very nice to the piss him off
even with the camera is like, that's how it was.
How was the dark moon fair?
Didn't you have to pay to get in?
I was given a media pass.
So I got to go.
Well, point, but how was it?
It was pay to access.
Right?
It was a long ass line again.
I'm pretty sure.
was the problem. I didn't go over there one time. I was at the streaming desk the entire weekend
and if I'm honest it was too much. I'm too exhausted. I thought there was only just the
after hours that you could buy but you could go whenever. I could have swore that you just bought
the after hours wristbands but you can go whenever you want. It was cool when I went inside
but this problem happens every year at least. I went to 2023 where the lie,
If you want to go, well, don't plan anything else.
And this is my other problem with BlizzCon.
I wish BlizzCon was one more day for stuff like that, because I didn't get to see
Overwatch at all or any Diablo stuff for any of the things this time, because I
I just there was enough time, I think.
I went I went in the dark one for though.
I will say it was better than last year.
Because everybody like crack in the gotcha games and everything as usual.
Like, yeah.
And I felt bad for the workers there because they were like,
can I please it in? Can I please it in?
I went on the like tons of addicts trying to yeah plastic it's crazy to me that
What they do over there? I went on the the last day, too
And I was like, okay
I was a mistake because everyone's like freaking out to grab shit like full full
It wasn't as bad as Pokemon card people, but it was like you can see these adults like they when they reopened the line
So they had more stuff like fucking bees swarming into it. I'm like man. It's like you couldn't catch me like doing that
Yeah
Okay for the moment of the convention was getting ego'd a
Blizzard when they were like we're to let soda in so the other three streamers. No, it was so funny. So I think it was
Saturday morning
I'm standing out front with Gbay and soda walks up and we're like where we got we've got to get our badges and get in
none of us knew
How to get how to get our badges we were supposed to get it the night before and then my flight was
I couldn't yeah, we were all trying to call somebody who we knew maybe to help us get it
And then finally we figured out to go to the media entrance and just cross our fingers and we found a grand and then I
talked to somebody who
Had power and they're like, okay. We'll come get you and they come and he was bad news. I
Can only get soda
G. Bay and I were like, well then I talked to someone else and they said, oh yeah, we
can help you get in and then they walked up and said we can only get soda, I'm so sorry.
It was hilarious, but we got in fine, there was like a room in the basement of the Hilton
that looks straight out of the fucking Scarface, like an 80s crack den club and they were
or giving out the media badges for people
that didn't have their thing in.
I think it's because they had me doing one of those streams
like very early and they did not, again,
it's a big deal, they're like,
this is the first time they're beta is being live streamed.
And they knew it.
And they wanted the streamers to get there early.
It's fucking important.
So yeah, I tried to get my badge the night before,
but my plan was delayed.
So I landed at like 10 or something really low.
I'm glad it all worked out.
Yeah, I the three or four of us we were just like
We got to get in right now. We can't we're freaking out in a grid like I have no power
I don't know how to get you to the convention center. It's good. Okay last thing we should do
We do this with every guest what is your favorite item in World of Warcraft?
Does it have to be specific as to why or anything there's a couple items just came to my head
right away and I have to be nice. Did you had some reason why it was your favorite?
We'll come up for head. What's the first thing that came off my head? I don't even know what
it's called. It's called the cob. I call it the cob. It's like a big fucking thing of corn.
it's a staff. Oh, it's black and blue, black and blue staff, right? For no particular, it's a terrible
staff. It's God awful, but it's the Cobb. No, that's what you're saying. Answer. Yeah, no, it's
completely. There's a reskin off the Emerald Dragons too, right? Yeah, the other thing I really
like, I love the fishing hat. I just think it looks cool. And my 19 twink days, I always thought
it was the coolest looking hat ever. I remember buying the Adventures Pith helmet, and being
like this is a scuffed version of the fishing hat and I want the 15 stamina to have a
similar story. When I was a new player, I saw the pirate hat people had. I'm a warrior. I want
that pirate hat so bad. So I love I love tailoring as a warrior just to get the hat. I farmed the
mats off the long feathers off the griffins or whatever in Hincherland. I want this pirate
had so bad I don't know why I just triggered that memory for me other
items I like I mean did I can only do one title charm you keep going yeah no
title charm this is looking legit bro but they show title charm in any of the
presentations they did and now it also stands we're good no we're gonna I'm
sorry fucking not that yeah it's like a five seconds extra sounds the match but
It still does your PVP three seconds.
It didn't say it was limited to high levels.
Other thing, fuck.
What was it?
Is it trinket that I really fucking like?
No, it's not a trinket.
Noggin, Fogger, Elixir.
Best thing.
That's that's the one I figured you were going to pick.
Yes. Yeah, I was I was thinking about gear,
but favorite item of the game
if I had to lock it in Noggin, Fogger, Elixir.
Yeah, yeah.
They're going to, I assume, have some
Noggin Fogger
Fun I would hope because they didn't saw right they had the unlimited Noggin Fogger bow
Or whatever it's scary saying Noggin Fogger. I swear there could be a slip up. There's there's some flurs hidden in there
No, I'm scared I wasn't before
I'm telling you could tongue twiz and you could literally back-to-back double slur Insta
Yeah.
Gels, Foggin' Fogger, we need to get out of here stat before we get cancelled.
Nope, it's true.
It's a crazy name.
All right.
Let's call it there.
Soda, thank you so much.
I think we all have the same general opinion of the game.
We're very optimistic, but there's a couple things that we...
I'm mainly just optimistic because things can get changed.
And the only thing that can't get changed is the scalps, but I don't give a shit.
So I'm actually just plain optimistic.
Shot of wing focus staff was what you were.
Yeah, the Cobb.
We'll never, I wanna remember the name.
It's honestly, so it's refreshing to hear that.
I'm a bigger creator, you know,
because it's so easy, I guess that it's easy to dunk
on Blizzard and be negative.
Like we're in the stage of sex cells,
now we're in the stage of hate cells.
So it's cringe.
It's fucking lame.
Yeah.
And then it's like,
if you say anything positive, you're just paid.
It's like, oh, God, yeah, you're you're we're going to show bro.
I know it was all cringe.
It's all cringe.
Burn it all down.
Yeah.
I think a nice thing with you, Soda, is you've been around for so long.
You can't be called a blizzard shill because oh, I can't be.
If you're not read online, are you kidding me?
No, yeah, you're immune to all that.
Am I?
At least I at least you're public.
Are you you seem to handle it well?
I guess maybe you, you and Nick both are cream on the podcast.
about and I like watching it.
So thanks to him.
All right.
Well, dude, thank you so much.
I really appreciate your journey.
Thank you.
I'm going to go to bed because I have not slept.
And I'll enjoy this will be on YouTube soon.
We're going to edit it up a little bit and we might add a
couple of small segments without soda that were we got.
We have man on the street interviews in front of BlizzCon.
This week from Ren Cognito and then we're all like rage
bait like other than the obvious, um, why do you parse poorly?
And then people's brain is just break, um, because they're like,
what do you mean other than the, yeah, it's great.
Um, so yeah.
Shout out Jacob making the child.
He's been in here all the time.
Jacob makes the goat.
I saw Jacob three in the morning last night.
Um, and he was like, text me when you get home.
And I was like, I'm not going to do that.
He's a nice guy.
He's a nice guy.
I did do that.
So if you want clarinet lessons, I still remember to
I can be certified so I'm gonna get it back. It's been a while since middle school, but I appreciate it dirty dirty
That was a pleasure. I love talking about wow. Thank you guys for having me. I appreciate it. I appreciate y'all GG's everyone gamers
Um, alright, I'm going to end it
Bang okay
Alright, let me get my camera back on holy fuck. That was a long one a lot of talks a lot of shit takes
From me and from everyone else, but that's how that goes
so
It's almost 3 p.m. If you look at my title, you'll see
September is cooked. I
Now have grand theft fucking Otto. I said that weird GTA roleplay
I
Am doing it
So is Vicky. She should be live right now. Actually she started streaming yesterday today is her first, you know
normal old stream here
Yep, so her and I are gonna be logging the fuck in we've got some GTA role-play stuff
It'll probably be a little bit of a shorter segment
Hold on resting Jory
Is it no pixel just second life, I mean there's a lot of ERP that happens
Yeah, it's weird
So I'm gonna be a little unsure about how this is gonna play out but step one
I have to make my character
Why are you lying your favorite item is manual crowd pummeler?
Fuck you
Least favorite goddamn it
Kevin Whipple who did die, but
It's a new server thou can be resurrected
so
How do I open this fucking
Rockstar games I think
Rockstar games launcher. All right
Make a registered sexual offender as your role-play character. I can do that. I just don't know how that would play out
It's being a registered sexual
Like fucking offender is just part of my personality. Let's make sure I drop that everywhere. I go by the way
I'm a registered sexual sexual
I shouldn't say that.
Oh shit, I don't know the status of GTRP. I haven't really gotten to watch.
Fuck man, there was a time and maybe some of y'all maybe remember this.
I was streaming going to the gym. I was sitting in my car and that's when they announced that NoPixel was launching.
Mind you, I knew that Classic Plus was also releasing and
And happening and you can see when I'm in the car stun locked
Calculating for probably like 15 minutes. I can't say anything. I can't say what I'm concerned about. I can just say it's fucked
It's all fucked everything is fucked and that's all I could say
It's sucked ass and now here we are
Too many things going on. I've got gta rp. I've got things going on here. You'll see what I'll be doing
I'm not just going to be logging in. I have a whole plan of stuff I'm doing here and you'll see
And then yeah, the beta is in what three days, so
This is cooked. I'll do my best to do everything, but
Shit's happening. I think I have my game muted
Yeah, let me fix this
No, it's not muted I'm stupid play now
All right, I
Don't know if they're still cute to get in but yeah, and then there's the Warcraft 3 new story. Yeah, I want to do that, too
It's cooked. It's all cooked
So does is Elden Ring done? Yes, Elden Ring is done. I'm just gonna tell you now. It's fucking done
There's no way I can squeeze that in I
Really want to fucking do it. I'll probably have to play that Warcraft 3 story
Sometime in the next month. I'm looking at the next month
I'm giving myself a lot of room and I would love to do it now, but I have to do this and I'll be wrong
I want to do this too. I just have too many things. I want to do it's I
Mean just last week I was like what do I do? I'm so bored
Now this is too much fucking shit. Oh, this is my test character. How do I delete a character?
Okay, just click here all right
Oh shit, okay

Okay
Hold on
All right.
Web and Kipalu.

Okay.
Okay.
Okay, check Vicky's name. What is it? Has she already gotten to that part?
Can you explain this? What?
Ball scratching simulator.
You guys might have lip boob balls, but you'll see how a real professional does it
Fuck
We are gonna snip
Did you see me?
Wait, was that bad?
Is that bad for me to smell my balls?
He's like pissed at me.
No!
Well I didn't think smelling my balls was a bad thing, like what if I'm just scratching
my nose?
No, that's...
Okay, I didn't know that.
It's got tactic.
Let me try that again.
Anyways, I love this woman for death.
Um, yeah, she is live right now.
See what she's doing.
Let's go to his herb.
Molly Poppins
Not bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's that way. Thank you. All right. Anyways, let's get here
I'm going Kevin Whipple because it's the classic and I understand that people love this dumb fucking character
Even though it's really just self-insert
just about
I'm going to the year 2000
What is date of birth? How do I change this shit? What are we doing here? Oh, February 15th,
year 2000. 26 years old. I am Gen Z. I'm I find six seven hilarious. Probably one of the funniest
things of our time. Confirm. Oh, fuck. I haven't seen any of this character crater,
because again, I did have to go in and like set some stuff up at one point, but
I didn't actually get to... I just went with the default character.
body type oh my god okay we're not gonna be fat
oh fuck me I mean that's a decent preset to go with
hmm
Okay, I don't like any of these presets.
I'm just gonna go with zero and build it from there.
I've got one hour to work on this.
Turn on no pixel companion.
I set that up last night.
Is it not on?
Oh, give me a second.
I'll try and work on it.
It is on?
Well, fuck you, one guy.
I don't even remember your name.
All right. So, uh, oh God, I'm so bad at like doing faces. Every time I try and
adjust the face, I just make it look like a monstrosity, even when I'm actually
genuinely trying. So I don't know if I should even touch this stuff or I get
cancelled yeah I just I'm not good at this it's not that I can't do it
oh shit okay
hmm R well instantly
I
Huh do people really look this different I think they do kind of crazy I
Got to be young 26 years old. I'm a little little boy
Actually, it's 26 even considered young. I feel like that's oldest dirt nowadays to at least on the online space that is old
Basically dead, you know.
Fuck all of this, man.
God damn.
Face and body.
Where's the fucking presets?
Zero.
Reset me.
God.
Let's look at hair.
It's the only thing I can go off of here.
So in, I haven't played since 3.0.
We're in 5.0.
i had some like really shitty looking shag
but that there were there wasn't a lot of options
looks like tom cruise
this might be ideal
so
the vibe i'm looking for is a really snobby
nepotism
kid
or twenty six-year-old
that has never worked a day in their life
Fucking worthless
That's what I'm looking for here
So you yeah, you know what yeah
But that's kind of throwing all of the like I'm not doing this is ridiculous
That's ridiculous. Okay. That's all the options then
Yeah
That's a little too girly
There's just too much balding going on Jesus Christ.
I mean this man the back just looks so straight.
Not a fan of that.
I mean this might be, I mean this looks like a, I want to punch this motherfucker.
Too cool. Too old. Too young. I don't know how I feel about that. Too short. This looks
like I can work with this. Slicked back and curly. That could work. This is just, that's
again too young and too fucking annoying. That's too Alejandro. Change the color.
to connect hair so to Papa needs to connect their twitch account to the
extension for you to start earning your card packs I think I have to turn some
bullshit on I don't know what these card packs are oh here we go
Vulp sent me Kevin so this is what I used to look like I mean I should I do
the shag or should I do longer hair I was thinking longer hair to represent me
IRL since it is have damn near half self-insert right change it up for 5.0
Default that is the default, but it is you know, I think I do the longer hair
Okay, why is it zooming in on the dick I how do I
Yeah, I think when it comes to the card bullshit, it's something I have to turn on but I don't have like three users or so
I don't care. I don't know what the card system is. That's news to me
Dude, why are we like why?
Click the fucking face
There we go. All right
Okay, this is number one
I mean number two is not bad kind of Elvis hair in the front, but whatever it's too young and curly and annoying
This isn't bad
It's definitely a lot of forehead
Let's change the hair color so it's like I get a better representation here, so if I'm doing a me
Snobby me because I'm not, you know, a loser. This is obviously just role play. Hey puppy.
Hmm. My hair is kind of light, right? You see? Yeah, it's kind of light.
Maybe that? Or is that too bright maybe?
That almost seems orange.
That just seems like, yeah, that doesn't work.
Oh, there's a secondary. Oh, shit.
How does that work?
What the fuck?
What the fuck. I would think it'd be like highlights or something. I guess they're just mixing the colors. I'm not sure what's happening here.
It's too fucking bright, man. God damn. Maybe that works?
Maybe? I mean, I don't even know how I'm gonna use this hair. Let me look at different options here.
It's okay. It seems very...
It's the word. It doesn't look like it's hair.
But that might just be the game. Too short.
Too short.
Eh. Eh.
Jesus Christ.
I mean, this is pompous as fuck, right?
right? That might be good. That's some Karen hair. Maybe that's a play. Or I do that.
This is also pretty good. It's just kind of straight in the front or the back. I don't
like how it looks in the back, but this is also pompous as fuck. Fucking far quad
Yeah, that's John Paul's hair. Oh
I don't want to copy XQC. I don't want to copy him. Jesus Christ was Vladimir
Some vampire RP the fuck too long
I mean that's pretty standard this is also pretty pompous and like
Very what's the word Barbie almost this might be too good? I
Feel like everyone's using this am I crazy
Ken looking ass right
Needs bright blonde hair. I'm telling you bright blonde
Okay, maybe not that bright we're talking about here
Yeah, I'm stuck. I don't know what hair to go with. Actually, so stuck. How many hairstyles
as I thought there'd be.
Fuck.
Ah.
Wear a hat?
We'll see.
Oh, color mix B.
Oh, that changes things a little bit.
I don't know exactly what it's doing,
but it's changing it.
Hmm.
I change the face with long hair might look less pompous. Well, I want it to look pompous. I'm not a good person. I'm a really bad
I'm annoying. You should want to punch me in the face
I mean really
26
So can I is there like a patchy shit beard that I'm oh there we go
That's not bad
Like I'm trying to grow a beard cuz like you know, I can grow facial hair now, but it's like still just not quite there
That's a very 26 year old bullshit
Maybe that's 20 year old bullshit so just you I mean I have a beard it works in 32
Lower opacity oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, good call. Yeah, we'd lower that that's not bad right there
Hello, baby. Hello, up. Come here. Up. Hello, baby. Who's a good boy?
R.P. in your young days, Unk. Having a midlife crisis on stream live.
Okay, this kind of sure. I think I can work with this here. Overlays, aging. I mean, I'm
26. I'm young. I'm not old. Oh my God, that's just demonic. Maybe add some wrinkles to the
forehead just a little bit I feel like those that's fine let's add that one that's fine
hair eyebrows what the fuck
yikes all right sick that's so cool
My god, all these stupid slits in the eyebrow. Jesus Christ!
Okay, overdone.
Honestly, that might be the play. Just some very, very shitty eyebrows.
Just about as patchy as my beard.
I think that works.
Please, no. No, what?
19 looked better. I think this is better. I'm supposed to be soy. Hello. Just lower
the opacity. 19. Okay. Those are very thick eyebrows. Yeah, maybe that is the
play that works actually
okay
why not play a tough guy
because
i mean do people already know what i'm doing
i'm actually nepotisming my way in here
you'll you'll you'll see what i'm doing when i get in his whole plan i think
So I'm not gonna be a cool character.
I'm gonna be a character trying to be cool.
Ooh, a turtle neck could be pretty solid.
We're looking at clothes now.
Shit, hold on.
Okay, so I'm a rich freak
and Kevin's got his things.
Do we have any button-up floral shirts?
We gotta bring it back.
What the fuck
Interesting
Is that fucking Gucci
Styles on the right. Oh shit, you're right. Okay, hold on
Then I'm just gonna be looking at the right here. I'm look dude. Am I going to a school anytime soon? What is this?
What bro what the fucking clown battle vest yeah we go win we go beat everything
thing. I'm gonna win at the RP.
Mmm.
Denim shirt, this could be okay, but I'm looking, not denim.
Where the fuck are my button down rolled up sleeves?
With flowers on them.
Floral as middle.
Middle row scroll down.
But these aren't long sleeve.
Too baggy.
Should be a tighter fit.
bar flora all right all right oh shit here we go here we go this is what we're
looking for what do we got so that's not the color I'm looking for I mean that
is the classic
Is there any open like unbuttoned all the way?
Hmm variance
Oh fuck hang on
There it is and now I need an undershirt how do I add an undershirt to this shit?
Oh tops right click that's it tab top light okay
well I don't want it to close I just want a shirt under it top mint oh under
shirts thank you sick oh sick oh we're so back
I don't even know what Kevin actually had. I'm looking here. It might just have to go
I mean it is just white, you know, it's fucking what you do
Excellent maybe a light blue. I think you just go white
I'm looking for light blue just because I just want to see it what do y'all think light blue or
white I think white personally you have it on that was what I think I'm a white man for sure
or light pink off gray now white's just cleaner for what I'm doing all right let's look at
pants those are the classics pretty clean khakis I mean I might have just
insta found what I wanted I could use shorts no no I think long khakis are
what I do but these are like sweats at the bottom where are the actual not
sweat pant version work pants I mean let me find something more clean than this
white turnips the fucker turnips I mean the work but again
Bathrobe, what the fuck?
I mean, these just look good, am I crazy?
This seems like it's it.
Ugh, looks too basic.
What?
I mean, again, like they're called work pants, but whatever.
Make them blue
Nah, this is it. I'm going for the iconic Kevin here. I really am
Shoes
So again, I've never worked a day in my fucking life
What the hell would I wear like Santa flip flops dude
Yeah, that could be it the face is a little too chatty. Can you make it more soy? Yeah, I'm gonna go back to the face
I'm not gonna look like this
I'm just trying to get everything that I can easily do set so I can see you know
What it's all gonna look like
Any other flip-flop variants do I give a fuck I
I think the white bottoms are the play tbh. I think this is good
Slides with socks you what
Try the loafers ooh
Oh
No, the sandals just go better with the floral shirt
I'm gonna see what other options I mean black uglies crocs
I mean see this looks good, but that's not what we're going for I
Think the flip flops are hilarious
Yeah, all right, crocs is funnier. I think the flip flops are funnier crocs is trying
too hard. Am I crazy? Like too hard to be funny. This is more subtle but like more believable
I think flip flops are it flip flops or meta is everyone else a flip flop main
Shit I
Haven't watched any GT therapy. I've only opened Nick's stream for the most part. I watched travel a little bit
Tune into Felix a couple times, but that's really all I've seen all right
Vests no vest. I don't have a vest on any bat. Ooh, maybe a fanny pack
Anything bitchy and like no, I don't think anything goes here
I've seen I've seen a little bit of rub I should definitely have an expensive watch on what is the most expensive watch here
And I don't mean like want to be rich I mean actually rich
So old money it's kind of what I'd like to go for
That means not the big fucking iced out bullshit just like the subtle leather strap
I'm thinking this like small enough
Hmm what else do we have?
That was it could be it
an old money wouldn't wear a shirt I mean real old money would be in sweatpants it's
true but I'm trying to be like pompous maybe I guess I could do like the Gucci Gen Z pompous
where I'm wearing Gucci and all the other bullshit. But, eh, ooh, this looks not bad.
Kind of like this.
Definitely not a digital watch. Actually, maybe I do digital watches because I can't fucking read.
No, it just doesn't look as funny puppy. I gotta wear sunglasses too. Yeah, sunglasses
would be a play. All right. I mean, at the end of the day, this is kind of minimal leather
strap watch looks nice that's fine we'll go with that you can always change this can you
if you get a normal watch and act like it's a compass
I mean
gold chronos pulse oh wait this might be it look at that
oh there's a spade on there that might be perfect yeah I got to do this one
all right glasses so what would I fucking wear as a fucking loser
What are these options here honestly these aren't the worst oh here we go some decent
options in there. Generic glasses. Dude, that's just... nah, it doesn't fit my character at
all. Oh, here we go. Rich glasses. Literally, they're called that. Mmm. Nah. Trying too
hard I think. Ooh we got wicked glasses. I gotta change my face. My face is a
problem. It's actually too chiseled. But again glasses first. Fuck maybe face first
then I'll do glasses. Let's go to face. God damn it the glasses are still on.
uh
For now to go off alright back to face. How do I fix my fucking face?
Here's eyes
That's insane. What the fuck are these eyeball selections? Hello?
What?
Those are some massive eyeballs. Those are very vibrant blue. Goodness gracious.
Jeez.
I was going to do like, let's do, what's like regular ocean blue I guess. I got to tone it down a bit, but it goes with the...
I think that works. We'll do ocean blue.
okay character presets medium large face base adjustments let's just adjust it
myself god help me what is this what's my nose I'm not gonna fuck with the nose
nose is fine this is all nose stuff okay so where's chin depth what is this
fucking with oh it's my cheeks let's get to chin maybe where is the ship narrow
I feel like I'm about to make myself look cooler.
How do I fix this?
I need to- fuck.
What the hell?
I'm so- dude, dude, dude, dude.
What the fuck is this?
This is a roblox.
What the fuck?
Ugh.
Oh
What the hell am I listening to lose the chin how though how much time do I have I've got 30 minutes left
Okay
What is this is the eyes can I make them smaller they're so big or is this
What the oh, I'm just closing them
But I can't like adjust the size of the eyes
Huh
Okay, this is fucking with my chin here, and this is, okay, the butt chin, I don't want
to be the crimson chin.
Huh.
Width.
Okay, bum?
What is this doing?
What is the bum?
Oh, so I have like a butt chin. Maybe I should have a butt chin. Actually.
I think it feels right here. I think I'm a butt chin main.
That's too cool. Butt chins are cool, really?
No, they are not. I didn't think they were. Buttchins are chat-
Okay, maybe it was the gen diff. I took away like I've tried to get rid of my chin here,
but from the- so my side profile looks awful. How do I fuck with my face?
What is this even fucking with? What is this doing? Oh it's the cheeks.
I am supposed to be like again like a rich 26 year old that's gonna, I'm just a
rich 26-year-old that's a pompous piece of shit. I'll be honest being kind of good-looking
is ideal. I don't want to be ugly.
But I want a punchable face like one of those good-looking punchable faces.
So I don't know how to hit that. I'm not good enough at this.
like yours you saying I'm good-looking thank you I think you got it yeah I mean
really the kicker is what I actually say I gotta go into those fucking forehead
wrinkles
fatter cheeks yeah I can max out the fucking cheeks it makes sense
Uh, hold on.
Face...
Hair?
Where do I get to the eyebrow bullshit? Overlays? Aging?
Oh, here we go. Let's just take that off.
Yeah, that's actually pretty fucking punchable!
You know, if I start talking, I- I think I could totally hate myself.
That's not bad!
can you please try a brown leather jacket, white tee and blue jeans and light brown high
top boots with golden shades?
I don't think it's going to match what I'm doing.
So I'm just going to kind of tell you I'm running the casino.
I mean you'll see it, but like, and I'm not going to be good at my job.
i'm gonna be bad
and i'm gonna be
nepotism din
so imagine like the dad is like fuck my worthless son has to take this shit over
this is the worthless son
change pants
yeah i think you're okay we'll go to pants and i've got
I've got 30 minutes, so...
uh, face and body, where do I get the... apparel?
Clothing, bottoms.
Oh, here we go, you're fucking right.
These might be a little better here.
You had white ones. I did?
Okay, we're looking for white, that's, you're right, that would actually be very pompous.
But where would I find the white pants?
That's not bad.
I sent you a DM if you want to see.
I do actually hang on.
Oh shit.
Jean slim joggers.
This isn't I mean joggers kind of like funny
No, you don't think so I think it's like
The what's the word?
Like all business up top and all casual on the bottom it's kind of funny, but alright
of
the
Oh
Shit
Oh
Does that have to be exactly the same? I mean my face is entirely different, but I do think at least when it comes to the outfit
I kind of want to do the classic. It's just perfect for what I'm doing. I'm snobby
Like I ran the vineyard in 3.0 and this was my look and now I'm running the casino I guess I could change it up
I don't even know where I'd go with that
Maybe I'll change it up like day two right, but for now just day one. I think we just rock this and I can change it later
All right, let's get to the sunglasses face and body no hair a
Apparel. Here we go. Head accessories. Glasses.
Aw hell.
It's a little too big I think.
Mmm. This is... fuck. What am I wearing here? I need sunglasses. Clearly not actual glasses.
Fucking kitten shades
Dude
I might just have to go with these
White orange glasses
They just do not fit my face at all, but maybe that's why frames of the orange lenses.
God, I've got such an ugly side profile.
Fuck it.
I'll be insecure about it.
Get my good side.
Oh, shit.
Why play as Seer?
I mean my character is actually based off of Sears character from the fucking beginning Joe Cain
Neck is too thick can I reduce that?
Like Sears kind of my GTA father in a way Joe Cain
The whole outfit was literally me being insecure and copying his outfit
Every day I would put a new piece of clothing on that was literally just copying him
That was like the whole thing, that's what I'm kidding.
This looks like that one anime guy where he's like pushing them up or something.
Damn it, I don't know. Do I go with those? The white and orange glasses? I think they're too much.
Can you take these off in RP or are they stuck on your face even when you go indoors?
You can take them off.
OK.
I'll be on a cop aviators.
I hate that they're called cop aviators,
but aviators might be the play here.
Try baller glasses.
Oh, they're fucking massive. They're just too fucking big. Jesus Christ, looks like
a ski mask or something. Yeah, it's not a lot of glasses options, like, and all the
glasses at sunset docks. Are these glasses or are they sunglasses? I hate how
see-through the eyes are on the ones I actually like. Jesus Christ. Just no
glasses I could do no no the fact that I can take them off I should have glasses
there it's with this beachy like outfit this is you need sunglasses with this you
do
hmm you think you do the very first ones this is like straight out of the
matrix. Get dogs get their keep bringing me false to throw them. I think it might be
a cop aviators angle or like one of these different color variants dark silver
cop
maybe I do this
the green doesn't match anything but
that's funny
blue yellow i think that works
I think this is it.
Blue?
Blue or yellow?
Or green?
Blue, yellow, green.
He looks too cool.
You think he looks cool?
Actually, he kinda does look kinda cool,
but at the same time, I'm rich.
So it's kinda the goal to an extent,
I want a punchable face like you just hate me yellow
Get necklace and earrings necklace and earrings
Let's see how that looks I
Don't think that'll look good
But I'll I got time a
Chain maybe yep. Yep
Uh, where would you get to that?
Apparel, upper body accessories? Vests? No.
Hand and wrist, head?
Ear accessories, here we are.
Sort of fucking earpiece.
Oh god.
Oh god, this is some Hisoka shit.
Ugh.
I mean, the studs could be, like,
Oh, I mean fuck maybe it's maybe it's good that I hate it so much thoughts
only in one ear how do I do that variance here we go one ear
let me look at necklace and we'll see
ear hats, head gear, glasses, gloves and rings, oh my god my god is overkill can I
have one and maybe should have this ring on it's so cool it's a class ring okay so
where's necklaces my blind topspot on somewhere casual I don't think there's
necklaces? Necklaces in shirt tops? You sure? Oh, neckwear, you're right. A fucking scarf?
Bro, there's no way dude.
Bro, that actually might be funny.
Now I want to punch him in the face.
That might actually be it.
Oh shit.
Well, let's see what else before we like lock it on scarves.
I mean there's bow ties and is that all there is for neck wear my country scarf.
I don't like it.
It's a country scarf, but what the fuck's the difference here?
What am I missing?
slightly just moves up or down oh it's like loose or tight we'll do loose people
are gonna shit talk my scarf and I'll be like I'll just fucking yell at them
what color do I go with
All of could be a play blue for the contrast blue bubble gum and maybe I should go back
to my sunglasses and make those blue.
This is so fucking ugly.
Do I take the ear?
I keep the earring.
I want to go with the scarf, I keep the earring.
Why would you have a country scarf?
Cause it's fucking fashionable and I love it.
Teal.
I think I like the blue.
The scarf is way too gay.
What if I am gay?
I can fucking RP that.
Closeted as fuck.
I'm not fucking gay, bro.
Don't say that.
Ugh.
Fuck, it's phenomenal.
Well, let me see something where's the...
Okay, this one doesn't clip as much.
Actually, no, it's the exact same, it doesn't matter.
Now we'll do this one.
It doesn't clip as much.
But who cares?
Surprise, there's no, like, gold chains you can put on.
I don't know where those are.
Maybe you have to buy him in-game or something?
The night and day difference between you and Vay is insane.
I'll see her in-game.
I mean, fuck, maybe I should get a bag at this point.
This is some fucking being, you know, slay, right?
No, it doesn't work.
No, it doesn't work.
upper body accessories, where tops, face and body, I didn't even done my skin color yet,
i should be really pale
okay that's like
fucking
oh my god that looks horrifying what the fuck
am i fucking with my face?
that's fucking with things that's weird
not pale you don't work
Well yeah, so I'm trying to be pale here, how do I do that?
Base skin, skin.
Parent skin.
So I have to combine parents?
I'm just not gonna fuck with it, this is fine.
I'm surprised there's no slider, maybe.
Oh, there we go.
There we go.
Deep left field.
All right where's my other body? No, it's make that blue and then
I
Thoughts
Double blue here
Fuck that is gay
That next scarf is I don't know I'm I'm 50 50 on it it might be going too far, but fuck it might be funny
too much blue
No next scarf. You can just take it off. Okay. No tattoos. No, no, no, I'm clean.
Huh. Blue belt and call it a day. How do I add belts? Can I? I don't know if I can.
And no tattoo
Yeah, I guess the scarf makes me stand out a bit I should have some set level of you know
uniqueness
To my character that stands out Kevin wears a fucking scarf like a loser
All right
The shirt's already enough you think
Hmm
Chain instead of scarf do where okay, where are where are chains? Let's see what it looks like. How do I go to that?
I'm really confused. I don't see it under like
Better bullshit wait neck
Oh wow, okay, it's in that neck out, Jesus.
Different undershirt.
Oh, they're sending me in different directions.
Face and body, or no, uh, peril, upper body, clothing, tops, undershirts, I mean, I can
do a blue undershirt and then just remove the scarf neck wear well that's
where the look it's just scarves man that's all it is there's no
hmm
I don't see a light. Oh, light pink. Nah, we go white. We're white. Hmm. Different shirts
have different neck wear. Oh, is that how that works?
So this shirt can't have a chain?
Well, I mean, this is the shirt.
I'm not changing the shirt.
That's locked in hard.
All right.
Guys, I don't think there's much else to do here.
Remove, play the game.
I mean, I have to stall for eight minutes anyways.
So...
Need a mole?
I don't know if I can add that.
Okay. The ring sucks. I couldn't care less. It's so minimal.
Pause my music here. Jesus Christ. I'm listening to like boss music. The next scarf isn't it. It doesn't fit at all. It's kind of true.
It's very true.
That's the neat part.
Change parent B to white skin in settings.
Uh, okay face, face, parent.
I mean they're both like pale as fuck I think.
Oh my god
Yeah, this is gonna mess the face up a little bit here and there
Jesus Christ. Yeah, this is not fuck with it. I just CBA. This is fine. I
Look like I'm going in a scooby-doo van. So the last thing do I have the ring or no?
It's minimal who cares that much, but I got eight minutes
Man you change the color
Where's another apparel of her body hand and wrist accessories right wrist
Oh gloves and rings right here we go when I can do multiple gold rings here
Gold is tacky that's the point
Or silver I
should do gold
The real question is do you have the next scarf and the answer is no
I'm sure I got a neck scarf.
Nah, I think this going over here is fine.
Right hand.
Isn't there like something where like if you have one neck or ear pierced on a certain side
It means you're gay or something. I don't know. I think I heard that at some point growing up
But I don't know how if it's a thing
Which side is that right side is gay so this is the gay one
So I'm on the correct side this is this means gay perfect, okay
All right, I mean, maybe I don't know
We'll just we'll flow with the RP if people want to start accusing me of being gay. That's fine and we'll fucking run with it
I don't couldn't care less
But Kevin doesn't know which would be funnier
Okay, Kevin has no idea
Also, if you got your watch on your right hand
Okay, sure. I'll swap them hang on
Hand and wrist left wrist this should be
No.
Okay, right wrist needs to be the watch.
Wait, what? Where's the fucking watch? Hello?
I guess I can't have it here?
Alright, fuck it, we're not messing with it. Who cares? Good enough.
Alright, I mean, I'm done. This is it. I'm chillin'.
Thoughts save the character. How do I do that as total cost confirm?
Mole is in overlays
No way I
Should add the mole
Moles and freckles mole
Can I move it though? Oh, that's a lot of moles. I just want one single cheek ball. Oh
My god, they're spamming it Jesus
Can I choose where it goes export?
Top right slider.
I mean it's opacity but I just want one mole on the cheek.
Hmm.
Yeah I don't know how to move this stuff.
Fuck is this?
Oh shit.
Okay, it's whatever.
It's too many moles.
I just want to like add a little dot, you know, but I guess that works.
I actually have a lot of moles on my face.
This is it.
Yeah, I think we just rock that.
A couple moles on the face.
All right, confirm.
Confirm changes.
Confirm
Okay
Kevin fucking whip-a-loose back
Paintbrush it's fine. Whatever. This is good. We just fucking send it. I'm not gonna care that much begin story
I think I'm good. Let me see if everything's good to go
Oh
What is this flika maze bank Pacific standard
What there's fuck are the or these talents what we doing here
Medical minus four percent Scooties minus five vehicle rentals. Okay, I'm never gonna fucking do middle
So I'm gonna have my own fucking car
Clothing stores general purchases minus two percent
It's not minus
Oh, cashback rewards.
Well, yeah, so basically 2% cashback on property tax.
That's essentially minus 2% cost on property tax, right?
It's a discount, minus 2%.
It works.
Three seems just ideal.
I don't know how many general purchases there are.
Interesting.
Yeah, this might be best. I think so. I'm here to win, by the way.
Weird.
Okay.
God, I'm such a bitch.
All right, so now I'm gonna have to wait, I think there's, we got a whole shebang going
on.
I can mess with my emotes.
So I did play around a little bit to see things.
How do I get to this?
There's a button for it.
Phone, how do I, F1. F1, there we go. Emotes. I mean, any preferences on walks? I can work
on this while, you know, I'm gonna be getting ported in for some bullshit. Gangster, Franklin,
Femm? Well, that's too much. Default. Confident.
Fuck, I feel like I'd actually use them.
Hmm. Franklin? That's intense. I don't think I'm intense.
Janitor?
Injured, hobo, hiking, heels...
Lester.
Man-eater. Money.
Ooh, money might be the play here. Hold on.
I don't know.
It might be too much. God damn, this is fucking annoying.
Oh shit, okay.
Okay, hold on. I gotta hide my screen down.
I'll go full cam while this goes on.
Ugh!
Oh

Black bars for cinema, I don't know how to do the bindings for this. Oh god. Do they know how to fly?
Oh my god, I'm getting fucking dizzy Jesus Christ

Oh, hell.
Okay, maybe I fucking vape.

It's fine, I'm hitting this new vape. This shit's fucking sick.
Green Apple? TBH? Big fan of that?
I gotta stop saying TBH, fuck.
I have to try that one day, sir.
Yeah, it's got that sour kick to it. It's nice.
Green apple is my favorite artificial flavor.
Artificial only.
You know, I'm gonna try to lay out the cigarettes, but I just can't, you know.
It's like, it's just a lot of taste.
Oh, tobacco.
Yeah, I wanted to quit cigarettes, so I started vaping. It's healthier.
You know, Runkster, you're not-
Yup.
I know.
Yeah, I decided that like four minutes ago, or whatever time it was at.
It's been about five minutes.
What's going on?
I'm not trying to be rude to your family tree and everybody in your family, but I'm a family show dad
who I'm waiting on and I don't want to be rude, but I think he's running late.
Is he actually showing up himself this time?
I have no idea. I just called the client that told us to come here and they said someone called Tomas Blank
I think. Um, I happen to be a fraud, I believe.
Why are you crying?
I said I'm running late. I just, on a way to kill me, cause I'm saying bad things about your father.
Oh, I want to kill you. What do you think I am?
I don't know. I'm just scared of everybody.
Okay. Alright, I mean like, I don't know. Shouldn't that cigarette maybe help you a little bit with that anxiety? Cigarettes are good for you, man.
That's why I smoke, but...
It's not you should get a new brand because it's clearly not doing its job
Check your facts
Okay, here we go
Oh look at that nice yeah flavors you got pineapple not bad solid choice taint
or what's the word? It's like sour but not sour.
Come on, what's the word?
Sour but not sour.
It starts with a T. T-A.
T-T-T-T-T-T-A.
T-Tangy!
Rhymes with fart.
Tart!
That's right.
Nice job. Well done. You're on fire today. Thank you, sir. I've tried.

any furniture. I had several little beacons I think attached to each corner of the wall
and your hands were fully extended out. Kind of like this. And your hands were
standing out and you said, whoa this is a bed. Can they get bigger? Stop. I never seen you on the beach.
We're on the beach with it with bitches lots of them partying hard. It was crazy
Party and hard I saw no party near you. I was a lot. I was near lots of people partying hard with bitches and
We can talk about this later. We thought that's right. Okay
Good evening, sir
Thomas good to see you good to see you. This must be your famous son. You keep talking
It yeah, I think he is quite famous on the internet said he had a what was it soon?
Let me tell you let me tell me why it's updated me say
Hey, this is one point one point eight thousand case
Sorry get one point eight thousand likes that's yeah
I looked at your Twitter and it says you have one parent some thousand likes, but I'm 13 views
So, uh, sir, I think your son might be body
There where my money's going is there why you've been complaining about the money didn't pull
Okay, I
Please not you exactly
So he's got like one follower and I believe it's yours, transplants.
Well, when I find fascinating about my boys, he once had no social life and hardly any social
social. He invested in an MMO where he had a bunch of boxers players that he could interact
with because he was too scared to interact with actual people. Dad, please. I think it was called
dad please you're embarrassing what was it called it was called more craft nope it
was called bitches on the beach it is on the beach it's got no bitches and
he's at no beach but why don't we get back to the man that hand I'm so sorry
if it's been a lot of familiar old conversations it's been a while since we
Well gone to talk, but I hope you know rest assured. I'll be taking care for I on this new venture making sure that
Son put the vape away when you're talking to a business. I'm sorry caliber
There's a professionalism you need to maintain your attire for one is an embarrassed
But if they eventually this this okay, sorry
Well, uh, before I, you know, continue, I want to introduce my driver here, Andy, if you want to say who you are, please.
As hype. Nice to meet you, guys. My name is Andy Coots. I am, uh, Anthony's new driver.
Absolutely. Okay, so, uh, Thomas, thank you for bringing your son to us. Finally, we get to meet in person.
Listen, uh, tell me what you think a casino is to you there, sir.
Uh, I mean, I think it's where, I mean, you go and you just put money in, and then take money out, right?
You could say that. I mean, that's the behind the closed doors answer, but the clue, you know, it's, uh,
In truth, it's place of trust, you know, a place where people gather, celebrate, dress
in a knight they hope to remember.
It becomes part of the city there, sir, long before it ever becomes part of a balance sheet.
So, if you understand that, in other words, it's, uh, go to be a hub for this thing.
Uh, when NEST, Thomas, places casino in your house, uh, it was not simply a
a transfer of ownership Thomas it was a statement of confidence you could say you know you trusted
enough to carry an institution that belongs in many ways Los Angeles if I mean every single
pass is going to come here very soon every single one of them.
So it's like a party.
I guess you could say that.
Nice.
So to put it in layman's terms or Kevin terms
There's gonna be hella bitches at the beach
To have a bald that's awesome. Well
Go give you a tour on your new venture there all of you
So what are we doing here?
You're doing a tour of the Casino House.
Okay, alright.
After you.
One more thing before we begin.
Today is not about giving you just a s**t of keys.
It's about showing you what those keys represent.
Okay, get that.
Alright, here we go.
Good.
To the casino.
I know your father is in a stranger to this location. Let me just lock the doors just in case we have a
an adventure an adventure exactly
well thomas it's up to you if you want me to take a lead yourself you can say what you need to say
regarding anything you see. We'll start with the lobby, we'll then head to the playground,
we'll then head to the nightclub section where you keep talking about, you know, beaches and
beaches. And then we'll show you the sort of behind the scenes area, the offices. And then
last but not least, we'll go right to the top of this beautiful establishment. So that sounds
a commodified tool so why why don't I give the baton to you and you can leave us through it all
okay well if you want to oh hey hey oh yeah so yeah all right sorry this is kind of sick in here
look at this little stuff this is sick look at the lights it's beautiful yeah i do have a question
for you absolutely we'll be uh we will be able to unlock the doors today or or
still going to be holding on to that for a moment because I met a director, he's made
some exotic German film but I think he might be perfect for making a bit of an advertisement
for promotional material in the opening of this establishment here.
Well if you're opening doors to people you want to I guess work with you for the opening
day by all means you can I feel like you should do that I mean let's get into it
actually before we really get deep into this tool what do you have plan for the
opening day you know my throw a massive event you know what's the sort of plan
you have in motion anybody can answer that even you son me dad please don't
please I mean I mean if it was me doing this I'd get some bitches as and
I'd get some margaritas. That's what I would do. Lots of bitches and margaritas, but I mean that's me
Well, we'll have some bottle bottle ladies in part of probably some bottle lads
I think we'll probably have to do some interviews for some service service staff
For sure absolutely
So without being southern Thomas. Yeah, we will allow you to open the keys and the doors to
interview could say but obviously not to any sort of gambling just yet of course
can also potential entertainment opportunities from some artists to
the nightclub that might be a good thing maybe a dance competition maybe we
could our dance competition now and that'd be sick that's my boy there would
be bitch dancing bitch is dancing on the beach right can you give me one
second Thomas could you come over here please yeah I'll make my way in just a
moment
now every woman is a bit okay I don't know how much winter says the
deal man that's what that's what that's what social say social say yes it's true

Did you take it don't post that?
Thank you Miss Molly. I'll be right back. Let me talk to Thomas. That's me. I just addressed myself and said let me talk to my friend.
I mean in all fairness there's probably a lot of women in San Diego would be very interested in dancing.
And they're bitches.
I mean I wouldn't call them bitches because they'd probably stab you.
Molly what do you think? You seem to know what's up.
Okay
Okay
Well, well, excuse me. Sorry. Sorry dad my bad
Geez you say that to me for for existing my bad
Well, at least you're taking accountability for something for what all right, let's continue
All right, well starting with us we have the reception for the casino
You know people can either go down to the playground
Or they can come here and talk to your staff members for anything you know if we go this way
Uh, this is where the fun really begins, uh.
Playgrounds.
This is the playground.
Exact.
Uh, all types of gambling at your disposal.
We have blackjack.
We have let's, uh, even have a lovely spickle wheel where people can win a very fancy car.
The wall has a bunch of like, those shapes that are on cards.
Look at that.
This is so casino-esque.
Right, Dad?
Is that we're in a casino?
Yes, sir. Exactly. Oh
Yes, such a casino. Holy it's such a casino thing. Anyway, sorry
Yep, you got a star I see it or yep, we got a star. We've got a clover
We've got a heart and we've got a
Spike a boo. It looks like an ass with a with a butt plug. It's Thomas. Come here Thomas
Can you come here Thomas an ass with a blood plug
One second got a private conversation with your father, please. Thank you. Oh, sorry my bad
Does you have any experience in?
Are you gonna be running the casino is that I mean I don't know my dad just fucking flew me in and said
Hey, you gotta start doing stuff. So I know
Now here's where we're going to get more of a breastfeeding situation, we're going to slowly get him off the breast.
He is absolutely not right.
So, breast should all be hovering over, it should all make things go smoothly, right?
And if he doesn't-
Any chance you're going to be consistent?
I mean, we'll have to wait and see, I have a-
How would I need an assistant?
From what I've seen, well for one, I know what all the shapes are and you didn't, and I don't-
I think I don't know my shapes.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
I know where the triangle is.
I took geometry class.
I think I called it a torch triangle.
It basically is though.
Not wrong.
Anyways.
I mean you're not.
You're not wrong but.
Alright let's continue.
Let's continue.
Alright let's continue.
Alright.
Coming downstairs this is the entrance to one of the best things you'll ever lay
your eyes on.
Welcome to the playground.
Wow.
stimuli is palpable this is sick wow I can just smell the addiction from here
and I believe there might be cocaine but it sounds like addiction to me so on
the left and the right in the cylinder circular boots here we have the black
jack tables we have two in each booth to the right and the left we have the
slot machines as well. If we keep
yeah, we have more tools scattered around.
We're gonna, we're gonna
remind the fucking slots.
Yeah, look at this.
Yo, this is sick. We have it's really is over here. We have
roulette tables as well. The biggest thing though is this. I think you'll make a lot of money with this,
I must say. That's a wheel. Now that's a circle. I'm so proud of you son. That's right. That is a shape.
Now a quick question for you. Each of those pie slices, I see a star ticket. Looks like a stack
of potentially the chips and just corns and then under a slinky coupon tag and
then so the empty ones I'm to ascertain that means they get not a zip now what
would what are the other ones for
well if I reveal the secrets you wouldn't be in a casino then would you
that's uh i'll let you spend your money you figure out yourself okay i will say
that uh be careful spending your money here because like you said the lines on
the black you might get absolutely nothing
well they do say the house always wins that's true they do say that dad
i just did myself i mean they they say it you know they
other people they say that
yes that is what I was applying when I said
because I was saying like that's so cool you said that because it's true they do
say that
all right where are we going now okay uh this way
the things get very very very different
Freaking at the beautiful artwork we have going on here is actually magnificent
We have some slot machines over here for those who are addicted
Yeah, I don't know anything about addiction other than vapes, but you know what I support it
This to our left is the prize car people can win via the wheel
Something to change as well. Yes flames on it. Yeah, look
Oh
Holy hell flame those are flames or maybe not you're right not flames
Must be wicked fast oh
It's got some uh, it's got some lettering
The master's I'm so
Thank you, I can say something to change if you want another car
We could probably get that sorted out for you. So that's like is this beautiful
Over here we have the beautiful bar, luxe, jewelry, look at it, it's just magnificent,
the way the lighting, everything is just wow, you know, it really, you see, purple, we've
done a lot of experience and sort of investigation and science behind the kind of purple, it
makes you just want to keep looking at it, hypnotizing you could say, so, you make
a lot of money at this bar, I must say, a lot of money.
They sell drinks here
You see that dad they sell drinks here
Well, it is a bar, son. That's what that's what it specializes. That's awesome. That's so cool beverages
Can't believe it. Yeah, it's awesome potentially now. Not all of you know mark tales of sorts. You got a couple both our bases
Wait, do you do happen know what a restaurant sales boy
Yeah, they sell lots of stuff. I usually order that on DoorDash or whatever the heck
So, it's self-drivenry.
Hey, over here, things get very different. You have your little private seating area.
You know, any little meeting. You want to take a break from gambling.
You want to just chill. Maybe get a bit... Never mind.
But through these doors, things get very...
Dang, it slides open.
Now what I'm about to show you is one of the best things this city has ever been thanks
to Nest and Wolves International.
You're about to enter the night.
It is beyond beautiful.
I'll tell you what.
I'll let you all go first.
You do the honors.
Go ahead, Dad.
This is so cool.
So cool.
Whoa!
Okay!
Dance competitions!
Okay, we got a stage here and everything.
massive place into a dance area completely up to you. I'll let you explore if you have any questions.
What kind of music do they play here? It almost looks like a beach.
I mean, it could pass a beach. I would say, what kind of music do they play here? Is it anything?
Well, like I said, that's on you. You can for a DJ, you can make them play whatever you want.
You know, it's you are running the ship here sir in case you didn't realize that
So the Tom Jones is not unusual you up to you
Tom John use your
You know I'm saying
Sure, depending if your target audience is a C++ by all means can have maybe a targeted
niche event.
I'm 26.
Tom Jones is timeless, timeless, timeless.
I see.
Anyway, like I said, it is a very beautiful establishment here at the nightclub.
You can do whatever you want.
If you have any questions, again, please do let me know.
But we do have some DJs we know as well.
you are lacking in that aspect but like I said that's all for you to figure it out here.
I mean if you've got a couple DJ recommendations what would take the numbers if you have them.
This is shit dude I didn't know you did this. This is awesome.
You never told me you like work casinos and stuff.
Who could have a long conversation after all this? Okay boy.

few mini offices to left and to my right as well. Whatever you think you need or if you
want people to have their own little office space here you can do so. It is very beautiful
and it's very spacious as well. Soundproof also. I think it is. You got real muffled
that door closed on you there.
Funny how sound dampens when there's walls in front.
Yeah, I wouldn't really know.
I'm on the beach all day.
You know we're making a DLC for that game, right, boy?

Well that's great, so I hope you'll be just like Luke.
Okay, what do you want me to do?
I mean I can party on that dance floor, hard.
That's great, but there's going to be a lot of things, you know, on the material side
and then on the entertainment side as well.
Public presence is important.

I need to show you but it'll be one moment. Okay
So dad when you say I'm gonna run this so what do you what do you mean?
There's like a side gig
Talking about a J. Oh

Don't we have enough money though? I don't know how to have an interest. I should I've never needed a job dad an actual job
I don't think so like what how like an hour a day 30 minutes a day

Power button that the beach the beach sometimes like I'd leave but like sleep food, etc
I'm actually pretty, uh, pretty good at this.
Okay. You should have called sir.
Yes, uh, follow me.
I can, uh, uh,
I'm gonna show you the back entrance of this place.
Uh, this might be, uh,
useful entrance for your staff and yourself to maybe come in to avoid an attack in the front.
Of course.
Yep.
You got rats in here.
Two more just for the rats.
Yeah, that's true.
This is here connects to a garage door. I know a janitor that could handle.
That is a perfect way to need to how Jen
Like I said the veterans will ever supplies you need or your staff that's completely up to you
I will recommend a Jenna ace up that somebody won't you got MRP D. I believe
but uh the right I got her
oh perfect you you wouldn't mind uh passing that uh number over to my
sister is Molly of course
It's quite the building, goodness gracious.
It's a lot of walking, about more than I like, but hell.
Same dad.
It's all part of the course.
I would get school. Yeah. This is the security side of everything. It's
There's another one-way window, right? Exactly. Another one-way window. They can't
you but you can see everything else. It's magnificent I must say. I feel like
I feel like a police officer looking in on the questioning people, you know.
You know, it's cool from the movies.
Over here, over here.
Take a ride.
Right?
You're not wrong about that, sir.
You're not wrong about that.
That's by to be, you want to be a police officer, sir?
No, no, no, that's a job.
But I'll, you know.
Good.
Good.
All right, keep following this way.
Yes, I was just kidding the others.
You're a bit of a maze in here.
You are not wrong about that.
This is a security room.
Whenever you hire security guards, they can be up here.
The cameras actually link with the cameras on the floor.
So if you go on the computer here,
you can actually see people playing on the tables,
making sure no one's doing some dodgy dealings.
I believe our technicians are storing up the cameras
and uh... syncing them to the computer
but that is how
you've actually locked the uh...
so she's she's actually locked out back at the uh...
is mario you stuck
got locked out
uh... would be me i don't have the key
it would be
got a nice security understable
he's slowly mosey in his way on over
Please hold.
So cool, the way we're walking.
Sick.
Oh, they're really down there.
Oh God, she's way, okay.
Oh, I do apologize.
Oh, there we go.
The only other side.
I do apologize for that.
At least you didn't get locked in.
Yeah, not this time.
Good one, dad.
Would your assistant Thomas like to see the security room
or doesn't really matter?
You let me know.
I think you will.
I think it'd be important.
Absolutely. Okay. Let's go back to the security area. So it's the security room and then to the elevator, right?
Sorry, so that one more time there, Thomas. Oh, security room to the elevator, right?
Yeah, we'll go to the security room and then we'll head to the elevator,
show you the offices right at the top of this lovely establishment.
So it's like we're probably gonna need a security detail.
You're preparing for this opening.
Yeah, I mean, I'm here with a lot.
Describe the feats of this national room here, Miss Molly.
So Molly in this room is a security room.
You can log into the computer and access every single camera that we have in this establishment.
So you can see if anybody's doing some dodgy business as they're playing their games
However, doesn't work right now. We got our technicians or wiring the cameras and syncing everything
But hopefully before you guys decide to open this to everybody
The security aspect should be all ready to go. So it's
Very good and looks like you need some security. That's for sure. Oh
Oh yeah alright, I forgot to tell my man.
Now we can exit from this way.
Excuse me my bad sorry.
What is that? Is that?
Is that X-Body Sprint?
Yeah, it's pretty sick right?
right now and people say they don't like it but it's not true check twitter
actually it's all over whatever social media it's people bitches love it this
is the sort of how can I put this see socials is that what I say actually I
have no idea this way this is the kind of exit of it we'll go back sorry this
guy's kicking yeah instead no worries sorry my bad times with us no problem
I'm over here over here is how you access the cashier room you can fill
out with chips and all of that good stuff that you need to do so no worries
calm down man but Sarah Sarah don't worry it's nest don't worry Sarah everything's
Okay, oh my god, thank you
No problem get these employees on cigarettes for anxiety
Oh smoke a policy for the casino
Or maybe make a way well, maybe make a smoking section or vaping section for people
Anything has gotten very big
All my son could tell you all about vaping green apple flavor
That sounds delicious. One more room. This is your mini office as well. All the chips are stored
You know you can obviously change that if you wish to do so
Samantha why are you Samantha? It's us. It's nest down. I think so okay
Okay, don't about the employees they get a bit startled they haven't really seen new faces for very very long time
So
Maybe we can give them some outside time
Just like that we're back on the playground floor. Oh look at that
You have any questions so far anybody oh
The only concern that I have is that uh I
I didn't notice that we took a tool inside the bathroom.
Are they under construction?
So unfortunately, well not unfortunately, the bathrooms are right here.
Right now, the piping, let's just say we had a very weird issue last month.
We had it all fixed, everything was going well.
Somebody did some testing, they used the flash stand, let's just say bathroom, blew
up in terms of the water pressure. Unfortunately, we are getting it fixed right now. These bathrooms
are currently out of water. Oh, that's why they call this the water closet.
That's funny.
Tell us, tell us.
You never failed to make me laugh this...
Well, of course there's particles.
Just, just beautiful, you know.
I'm glad we're at Nest.
I can finally open these doors to everybody, you know.
It's a long time coming.
It's a lot more stairs.
Have you guys ever thought about escalators
or elevators?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
escalators or elevators?
Well, elevators which is where we're about to go.
You know what though? Stakers burn calories which make people hungry, which makes them go to the bar.
Speaking of hunger, I am actually quite famous.
Oh, sir, I actually brought food and drink for you guys. Would you like sushi? Pizza?
Oh, that would be...
She's my driver.
Pizza? I also have hot dogs.
Oh, I'll take a hot dog if you don't mind.
Yeah, I'll fuck hot dogs.
And we do like a, alright, water or, uh, or I have a soda.
Uh, okay.
That means no big deal.
I love hot dogs.
Let's see what you got here.
Here, you can fuck up that hot dog.
There you go.
Thank you very much.
Soda to wash it.
What?
Sorry.
A soda?
A soda pop?
Or pop as it's known where I'm from.
Sick.
Thanks.
Yep.
Oh, yes.
I'm catching on to the American lingo.
Nice.
Molly, you like something as well.
I'm all right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Proud of you, boy.
You took that glissie down and wore it.
Yeah, I'm pretty good.
I'm pretty good. I've had a lot of glissies.
Let's show you the very beautiful establishment all the way on the roof.
Let's go right to the top.
How many floors does this place have?
There's a lot of floors. Our elevator will only get you to certain locations, unfortunately.
that's to say there are some flaws are still it works this
uh... you could uh... you know i guess you could call these offices
but you could even
used to yourself
at the mouth
post-a-party
post-a-social gathering
that's pretty up to you
Man
Look at that. It is it is magnificent. Oh, what else man dear for is we?
That's the view I was talking about
We actually hosted a cool meeting here last week. So it's it's really good. It's amazing
That's beautiful. We have a boardroom as well another two offices. It's it's beautiful
Oh look it's pre-stocked the first pre-stocked in that
It's pretty sick right Molly?
Is that a hookah pen in there?
Oh shit.
Oh it is.
Amazing.
That's awesome.
The boss is lovely.
That's paired.
I mean I love it too it's sick or whatever.
I love it too it's thick or whatever
Are you more of a vape kind of guy?
Big vape fan, Green Apple Artifact, that sounds delicious.
Yeah I think if we had any sort of office space we'd probably do the talk.
Absolutely.
Well, Thomas, Kevin, Molly, anybody, if you have any thoughts, I actually want to hear your thoughts, actually, if you don't mind, you know, because this is the first time we're kind of, you know, other people see this location, also you, Andy, as well.
But I guess we can talk about that between ourselves after this. But I'm very interested though, Molly, Kevin, how do you feel about this establishment so far?
think it's cool i think my dad owns uh elevator music would have been awesome that would have been
like the vibe you know i'm saying you know like that he's about all beyond to add to the the
virtual of escalating your way your your destination you know if you're taking the sixth floor
having a bit of music all of that idea you're not wrong about that you know at the end of the
day right we've done a lot of research you know we have this certain smell we can also
put into the casino that basically makes people sort of stay we're also doing
well i mean that is not what we would prefer but if that's what you think it keeps people there
maybe now people act like they don't love it but they do or could you say people like to
acts like they don't
god
its almost never change, never change sir
molly what about you do you like what you saw
you know
i do like all show
I think, sir, I think this will suffice, especially this room if you catch my drift.
Oh, yes, it will.
Absolutely.
The biggest thing that I'm more curious about is a certain quota that Nest is hoping to
reach with the opening of this establishment here.
Like is there a certain roster that we should be keeping in mind in terms of how many people
we should be hiring or using their trust onto us?
I just want to make sure we're not stepping over any tools.
Exactly, we're going to give the sort of trust to all you will help oversee if anything, you know, we get told.
So, as you know, we're passing certain threshold, but you guys all have free reign to do whatever you want to do.
If you need any help in sort of getting certain employees, we can also help as well.
But you guys will have free reign until we basically give you a call and kind of, you know, make it aware that maybe you are, you know, hiring way too many or.
all certain things like that as well
uh... we'll also be in the uh...
uh... for nightly whatever you guys do decide to open this for that is sort of
uh... credit check
uh... expenditure check will do all the sort of revenue stream check as well
uh... want to make sure this is that mister at the end of the day it's uh...
to make money so
uh... together
we build the future
but uh... you will have free reign to do
anything you want to do
uh... with the establishment
money is awesome
here that is more
and
and
we want to do
and get back with me uh... and the kids uh... step outside uh... this room
for the moment
Do I know what?
You're some future prospect in venture, so cool, all right.
uh listen uh how can i put this uh you know this is a casino but if you want to do other
things with it by all means have the green light from nest okay so i'm just letting
you wear tomas you you understand putting down here don't you
fuck they're doing cool emotes i don't know any
i believe i do
so if you want me to be open and uh...
i'm just up front
give me one moment let me just make sure
whatever one second
could you just uh... wait
Oh, of course.
No problem.
Thank you.
Carry on, Thomas.
Yes, this is going to be probably the first for your ears and my voice so, uh,
help with the reaction that may follow.
He's going to say I love you, watch.
Say it, dad.
You see, Anthony, we do go way back.
But you remember how connected all those years ago was a job.
job that sparked it all.
And funny enough, I'm guessing this house going full circle.
It was at a casino.
The casino owner was being a big greedy.
Causing an economic decline in the entirety of the city.
So we stepped in.
Had to clean the house.
Now how are we going to clean the house?
Brum, sometimes you got your hands dirty.
This man, we grabbed, we took, and I say we got ourselves a bit of a treasure piece.
One that sits in your very office to this day.
For that man was a bit old, had a stent in his heart, but that stent was insomniplated.
A tenium rod's on the inside, diamond encrusted on the outside.
Now this wasn't any simple blood diamond.
Oh no no.
For the intricacies of the diamond alone were the fortune.
was diamond and gold in the titanium. We took that very hard because he was the
heart of the business. It was proved to show that we could whatever needed to be
done to get our way and it was that very mission so oh Jesus that a light bulb
winning I had you see you within the casino they are a lot of bad folk some
they try to explore countercars trying to take advantage of the generosity that
which offer here.
Well, I don't really that right.
They take from us.
Well, we sure as hell are gonna make sure we take from
them. Yeah.
Isn't that right, Mr.
You're not wrong about that.
the uh...
thomas listen uh...
i know there's not a lot you know from the sort of
how much do you know about the history of this city
the last i'd say
i'd say two years
ten years the last eight years
uh...
beyond the city so
When the decline happened when you all stepped in because I saw this ample opportunity to
fast
Well, I'll put it like this nothing is ever as it seems with this organization
Thomas
Nest it's very deeply rooted. Oh
Like I said, whatever side ventures you wish to do
We'll give the green light to do so.
I'm sure there's an organization that works for us, the one you've probably seen all over
the graffiti.
They may come up the shadows soon and also help you if needed to.
But that's probably a long road ahead anyway.
Now, just to clarify, these are vengeance we're talking.
Since you're pursuing a lot of faith in us, are you hoping we take the fall if anything
were to, uh, come to life?
I want to make sure we're on the same page here.
absolutely nothing can be linked back to any involvement of nest at all
well rest assured that will not be happening i've got a network
a network of people that i've been vetting they'll be perfect for these offered
and i'll make sure that they know that there's no ties with
Use. Use.
Beautiful.
Yeah, my dad's great.
Who'd like to hear?
Now you, uh, your dad here, we go, I want to say we go way back,
but he is friends with the investors of this organization,
Nest, and uh, I can tell why, I can see why.
you know very like-minded it seems yeah like father-like sons they always say
right what's your show about that one though yeah you want to add
I'm going to be back in a minute.
Anyway, we're done with this meeting.
We can head back down and...
You guys can do what you need to do with this loveliest...
That was awesome.
We'll be giving keys at this point of time as well
so that we might be able to open and bring people in
for interviews.
That is correct.
I do recommend first getting a janitor. There's a janitor to actually MRPD. The rats need exterminating 100% before we do open.
I'm ready on that, sir.
Perfect, perfect.
Beautiful. I'll tell you what, let me go grab the keys, the spare keys. A key for all of you, I'm assuming.
Yeah, okay for all of them. Oh, okay. I'll take one
One moment. I'll be right back
That was an awesome speed now all getting keys
You're not gonna be a knock in any doors just yet. Okay, cuz I'll you to be accidentally leaving it on long
Trust you man, you know might have to hold your head a bit. Okay, son
Okay, that's fine. I mean, what do you, uh, sure.
It's just one moment.
Small, I think my son, uh, took within that, uh, conversation.
Sorry.
Can you hear me now?
Jesus fuck.
We'll continue this conversation later.
Unfortunately, it seems like at this altitude or just the very air that we're breathing might just have a bit more nitrogen than oxygen and that messes with our vocal delivery.
Could also be the vape.
Okay, in this vape zone.
vape son
so if you go ahead
in this bag will have uh... for each of you okay each
molly uh...
thomas and kevin
okay uh... three keys
three sets
don't lose them okay
must be some massive keys goodness
well of course it's a massive establishment boy
I'd like to make sure the keys are well protected
Kevin
anyway
once you put your key in the pocket you should be good to go and uh... let's see if it works very soon
uh... in fact uh...
let's see if it works right now shall we? let's go
I'll make sure you grab the key off the table now
sick. Miss Molly, grab your key.
Come on, Miss Molly.
Yeah, we gotta get some escalators.
What's up?
We gotta get some escalators in here, Dad, for sure.
Oh.
Well, maybe we can figure out a way with this, maybe we can get employees to be able to use
a scooter.
Ooh, scooters?
That would be nice.
In the casino?
Oh, great idea.
Whoa.
Could you imagine?
I mean, getting down the stairs would be one thing, but I wonder if people can
carry the scooter back up for us.
it be a VIP experience. Yeah, we can do the thing where you put like a quarter in
to get the scooter back or whatever or like something. Oh, like in the old folks
home they have like the scooter escalator on the stairs where you load your
scooter and it slowly goes down or up. Oh, yeah, like you're right for old
people I love that
all right all right we need it when you're fast
who was that that was the the rat exterminator all the Jan is ready to
start you are fast that's why she's the best hey Andy how you doing oh
let's see if your keys work why don't you open the front door for us shall we
Okay, why don't we start in a fashionly order? It'll start with me
Then Miss Molly and then Kevin and no particular order of hierarchy that just happened to be the name up with off the dome
Or I just want to clarify
Thanks, dad. Oh, I'll see if your keys work
It appears it does for me
And with the doors closed if I walk further
If I gotta be fast with it, we're gonna make a lot of money Kevin. Yeah, my dad's awesome
Yeah, you seem like you're uh, you know, you're pretty competent though, you'll be able to handle circles and shit fuck
Yeah, I got this figured out. I see okay probably easy to get it from the outside, but
This morning is fine. Are you also invested in crypto?
Yeah
Duh, what?
Crypto is very, uh, very hot right now in Los Santos.
Lots of people giving bad crypto advice, so watch yourself.
Yeah, I know. I watch all the tutorials online. I know how to work crypto.
Alright, is my turn dead?
That's right, soon.
Mr. Thomas.
Yeah.
Open sesame. He's sick.
You were son's things like he might be in the business and somebody very connected possibly very good at babysitting people like himself I would like to offer myself
It worked dad! It was awesome! You see it slide open for me?
Oh son you did such a good job!
Oh we could be in touch tell you what you can give uh let Anthony know and Anthony can pass your number to me
Yes and Molly also has my number
Perfect perfect okay Molly has your number we're sorted
We're sort of I do want to make something very clear
Now that he's make sure when you do go back into your apartments. This is closed. Okay. We don't want any
Unnecessary people, you know, of course, of course, I'll make sure this way the watch we're probably gonna be going through the backside
We're gonna probably close this front door. Yeah, you know a park on that side
Was I joking boy
I don't think that one was a joke.
Right. No, you're right. Go on. Sorry.
So step inside that pool over there for a moment and soak your pants.
Right now, actually, or is that?
Yeah, did I start it?
No, you didn't. You're right.
Now, you let me take a bath.
You want me to get in like, actually?
Did I start it?
No, you did not.
You didn't. Okay.
to declare you will step inside that tub and you will like it okay my pants are
soaked but this is awesome the water here's amazing I was actually the
mother I can't actually get in it doesn't let me in maybe I can
now I don't know can I get out I'll stay in longer if you it's fine I'll
stand when I say you're done you'll get out all right well you was a pleasure
to reconvene and talk and what can I help you miss yeah
Kevin Mollie. It's a pleasure. It was a pleasure guys. Kevin.
Oh, we're hearing from you guys. It's nice meeting you, Mr. Nest.
Three, two, one. Come here, boy. Oh, God. That was...
Dad, thank you for baptizing me. That was awesome.
Okay, Miss Mollie. Yes, sir.
I'm going to give you something, all right? Okay.
What is it?
What?
If my son ever disrespects you,
I think you know what to do with uh,
Bees idle.
Are you kidding me?
For a minute, sir.
What is that?
I will uh,
I'll make you-
You'll find out when you're older,
whether that's uh,
an hour from now, a couple days or a couple years.
We'll find out
Cool now my son I know it's been a long day. You got some jet lag
How are you feeling you only got a bit more time before you need to tuck her in yeah?
It's getting a little late for me. I'm looking to you know sleep a little soonish, but you know that was that was amazing
So cool you do that why don't I give a why don't I give a call real quick because I think we might want to meet
someone before we conclude
Sure, okay, and they won't have a nice little plan for tomorrow
Sounds like it seems like we're gonna need
security are gonna need people to work the bar and
Good have show fools at the front with reception do you know deal with cars as the polling in they could park them somewhere?
We've got a lot of things we could workshop here. All right, yeah, I think you've got this handle dad for sure
I think you can do anything oh
See that's where you're a bit confused
There's no got keys as well
Which means you're just as equally responsible for this entire expedition
Well, what what you call those a party, right? Yeah parties and stuff, you know, I work the dance floor
This is a small beach
Yeah, this casino's a beach
Now we're just missing all beaches.
That's actually, ah, he's so funny, it's crazy.
Alright, let me give a call to the director, alright?
I gotta write his name down, I don't know how to work with the fuckin' phones yet.
Please hold.
Oh, that's weird.
Oh.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh.
Sorry.
Sorry, I'm trying to work this. This is a new phone. It's just weird trying to figure this out
No pictures of the mister's not please. Yeah, I would never
I do have some uh prospects that might be good to work security
Fortunately, I don't think the directors around so that might be a venture for tomorrow, but I think uh
uh, try to think and workshop a nice little advertisement for the opening, grand opening
of the Pixel Casino.
A big, a big pile of cash and then you standing on top of it, or me if you wanted me to, but
it's like it's, it's your thing.
So it's, it's whatever.
Well, it's, it's our thing, boy, but you want to do it together?
Hope is it'll be more so your thing.
I mean we can do it together for the first promo.
No one now can hit the door.
Is that our janitor?
That, that must be him.
Yeah buddy, you'll never guess who I just showed
around the house in the hill.
Oh excuse me, are you all exterminated?
I am indeed, this is Harley Jones,
head of Los Santos Health and Safety Department.
I heard there's a rabid rock moon running around here.
Well who was your previous employer?
You have the contact information I'd like to verify.
Absolutely.
I'm employed by Judge Berek, Attorney General Bailey,
the entire MRPG, and he's kind of temporary as well.
So pretty much anybody.
OK, I want you to give me a contact for Voucher.
OK, I got you.
Or if you want, you can call them and put them on the speaker.
I just want to double check, right?
Who knows? People are always trying to stab you in the back, I'm sure.
Hello, I'm putting you on speakerphone.
Hello, you are now on speakerphone. Judge Barrick, please confirm that it is you.
I'm currently at the casino I am here to exterminate a pest as the head of Los Santos Health and Safety and they would like to make sure that I am indeed
deployed at all the places I've listed including City Hall, MRPB and the Penitentiary.
I can't hear anything.
Thank you so much.
All right. Well, I guess we're going to exterminate some rats real quick.
Welcome on inside to the Pixel Casino.
Wow.
going to exterminate some rats real quick. Welcome on inside to the Pixel
Casino. Wow. This place is gorgeous.
Pretty sick, right? Let me take you. It is beautiful. I'm surprised the
rodents got in here. It looks pretty clean. Well, it just so happens to
be in a one particular area.
There's a side little parking garage,
and it seems a pass of getting in through that side.
We are working on getting funding set up to get
sanitation workers in specific locations,
and we can definitely add this to,
I guess, the roster of areas that will
need to be frequently.
The last thing we want ma'am in the opening of this lovely establishment is some rats
Scurrying about the floor
Absolutely, I hear you that's gonna bring
Spread like crazy here
Hey, what's going on look like a water slide you're damn right at us
Well, maybe we'll use that for the promo. Maybe we can get you a scooter who screwed it down the water slide
Oh my god, with my hands in the air I'd be like, well, I didn't have money falling from the ceiling.
Like, while I'm sliding down on the scooter.
Alright, I'm gonna be honest with you, there's a lot of people here.
Hopefully we didn't lose them.
Uh, yeah.
always double check that doors locked yes sir actually be really careful it's
locked I don't think the casino is open yet so yes super okay well that's the
city all right there's some things never change are you you're taking into the
garage or showing around oh is it isn't a garage I was I was thinking it was in
offices it's right there's a couple in the offices you got to keep your eye on it a bit more
elusive i think is the blood
you can take a gander at those
what are those tell us if you see any
this place really is something now if you really want to see some rats uh here they are
there they are oh boy oh there is a lot of them okay I'm not to call in a team
they will not need to come inside you don't have to worry about that I will
handle everything indoors but we will need a team to make sure the streets
around this area are clean because that was going to be a primary source of
I guess the infestation establishing itself that's right yeah
All right, well, uh, tell you what, uh, it may be imperative that you have, uh, well, you've got Miss Molly's number, right?
Yes, I believe so.
Is there, uh, like a sanitation truck or vehicle that you might need to bring in for your procedures or?
If so, we could have a poll in here.
Okay.
Now, it's not that I don't trust you to do your business, but we run a type shift here,
so I might have someone kind of oversee.
Oh, absolutely.
I think that makes sense.
You are.
That's all right.
It's in order to build more trust.
You have quite a hefty level of credentials, and I do appreciate you further vouching
it with the call with the judge was it? Yes, that is Judge Barrick. Yes. Wonderful. All right.
Well, is it something you think you could manage now or do we need to schedule an appointment
for tomorrow? So I can begin the clean now. I can certainly get the interior out of the
way and then as as far as the rat infestation goes it will be an ongoing solution so it will need to
be I just I don't just vape it depends how bad the problem is I'll have to take a look right
you will need to bring sanitation trucks in pretty much daily until the full infestation is
Yeah, there's also some here.
I don't think they're going to the office as well.
So this might be your primary workspace unless they decide to spread.
As far as I've seen, other areas do look quite pristine.
Christine, it's just this part leading in,
it might be maybe they're getting in somehow
through the garage, or often we find that they can also
chew through, believe it or not, steel.
So if you have a door that is made of steel,
yeah, we think that the trash has actually mutated them
to a certain degree, and their teeth are now
razor sharp, and they are cutting through metals
of different strengths.
radiation powers.
You need to get this hand.
You know that?
Yeah, we might need that.
That is very much possible.
That is mutant Ninja Turtles to take Calvary.
Yeah.
Good one.
Sorry.
Good one.
Well, I'm going to be here.
We might be including things very briefly, so I don't know how much time we need
to assess this situation.
Um, will I be able to pull a sanitation vehicle in here anytime soon?
Like if I were to go get one now or should I hold off on that?
Uh, you know what? At the very least, I'll stick around just for that.
Okay. Because if we can get the interior at least cleaned out a bit and work on the outsides today, I think we can start making progress for sure.
for sure. So I'll grab that and I'll be right real quick before you do that. Give me your
number and your name. Don't show your contact or just watch your number.
Whenever you're ready, my number is 9471024973.
So I want to write and I want to get this one too son.
Oh right. Hold on. Let me see. Okay, let's see. Hold on.
All right from the top 947 wait wait wait hold on

Okay, you might still be uh, oh, okay, that's absolutely understand
Okay, uh, hold hang on one second

No, okay, and you all speaking
94710249
73
That's correct. Nice. So sick. I was curious who's at the end there might have been a six or a seven
What's your name, lady?
My name is Charlie Jones.
No E on the Charlie.
A lot of people just call me CJ if that's easier.
Well, people call me Mr. C. So I guess
we have a bit of a correlation there.
Look at that.
Well, it is nice to meet you, Mr. C. And this is Molly,
I presume?
Yes, that's my sister.
My right hand.
My name's Kevin and his son Kevin he's got a lot related
Hey Kevin, why don't you look at that rat over there for a moment?
Okay, he might be acting a bit different than the other rats.
You wanna sit there for a moment?
You're not wrong.
I'm looking at it.
Yeah, keep looking at that.
it's usually
one do some that you do some little bitch huh
that's what i thought you keep saying your little trash corny little trash
hamster
stupid trash boy little trash trash pussy
you like trash little trash bitch trashy little fuck
fucking trash fuck

trash rat
Stupid
I wish I don't know if I can kick it out punch in there. That's what I would do to you if you were taller, but you're sure whoa I
Got rid of it dad it's gone
Dad it's gone oh
Good job son look at you maybe maybe you could you could now you're so only sanitation workers house done
That's a job dad. It's a good joke
Fucking it's not good. It's back. It's back. It's back
All right, yeah, we probably want to sort this out as soon as possible. Yes
Oh shit
Okay, I linked my I fixed the no pixel thingy I think
Look for cool emotes fucking good goddamn right I gotta look at this stuff at some point
I don't have a lot of time. I actually have to go
Soonish I have a little bit of time but
Airplane fuck stop
stupid rat fuck fuck by my stick all right I will be right back with us thank
all right miss Molly you want to lock the door when it closes wait for it to
close fully you may have to run over because it can get a little aggressive
oh another rat got in another one got in yeah you got you gotta be fast with
now motion sensors are a little advanced because they don't want more rats getting
in as my son pointed out I ran another rat and you didn't hear
yeah but she's doing it in heel it's true she's impressive sir her dad these
heels on him
I
Oh
He's an anger problems. I'm not Molly Molly. It's okay. Yeah, what Kevin? Why don't you give it a try?
Yeah, all right. Sure. Watch this
Hey, I got it sir wait
The door isn't even registered.
Huh.
It's a hide thing.
The motion detector's hide is a bit taller.
It's because it's got to be a bit small.
He doesn't have a hat on or heels.
Yeah.
So he's able to lock it faster.
That has to be what it is.
Sir.
How do I open it?
Ah!
You think they recognize him as a rat?
Absolutely.
Well, that rat got in.
So a rat can be a king
Real quick
Yeah, dad
So you're gonna be all going to bed soon, right? Yeah, I'm pretty tuckered out. It's been a while jet lag coming from, you know
the beach then on the Mara
What do you think about us finding ourselves a nice director, prepare ourselves for the
advertisement source?
I think that's an awesome idea.
I think that's great.
Bright and early.
All right.
Right and early.
How early are we talking?
Looking at uh
Hmm
maybe
To the director on the MCST
Okay, so here's what we could do all right
around that time
We can uh prepare ourselves to vet
security
maybe some bottle services
And uh careful for you maybe entertainment for the nightclub
That's easy. I can do that. And then we might use those people for the advertisement later on in the day
Because of this wreck is not answered right now and he's usually around during this time
Okay, so about this collar Molly why ah
Why I'm just
Making sure it works. Yeah, it works. What's the necessary? Why is this necessary?
Well, for when I want to need you to behave, would you like to experience the keyword?
What is it?
What do you mean by keyword?
Place.
Interesting.
An interesting choice there.
Okay, relax. I need an email for this. It works. Yeah, it works. Dad, do we have a
reasoning? Like why is she doing this to me? Well, it's, uh, it's public school. So,
Okay
Assistant
Yeah, no boy. Okay. All right, but you know, this is good, right? We're good
We're good
Okay. All right. Well, you know
Step inside a weenie hut general, but we want to make ourselves
To the point of which you could eat nails for breakfast. So you got a long ways to go for that, don't we?
I know just the people to expose you to them warm me up to that endeavor
Okay, I mean whatever whatever we do. I'm I'm here. I'm ready to do it dad
Okay, and if you have any ideas with your eccentric, uh, young mind I
Gave him ideas. I like I like the scooter going down the water slide with money falling from the sky and then bitches in the background
Okay, well we can share that passion with the director
Oh wow, okay
All right, you hear that beeping noise son, what does that mean? It means it's backing up, right?
Well according to the visual stimuli displayed before me I believe your
assessment is correct. I didn't see Molly write down my plan though the idea
for the video for the advertisement. Oh she got it didn't you Molly?
It's in my head. Well there's mental notes and physical notes.
I mean, I, I welcome that.
You're free to start it.
Michael, did you just get started in here?
Yes.
Fantastic.
Now, I do want to, I do want to say here,
anything that is disclosed within your proximity
that involves me, Molly, and my son,
stays within the very confines of this establishment here.
You understand?
Absolutely, I understand, sir.
I have the same level of professionalism with the judges.
attorney general and the police anything that I see or hear I do not see or hear
I'm just here to clean. Alright let's test that theory for a moment. Kevin what
is that over there in the dumpster? Those are rats. Yeah those are rats. Yeah keep
looking at that for a moment. Okay. Yeah they're rats they're just being rats
you know like before when I was looking they're still just rats and stuff.
You should have let me done it
Yeah, I probably should if I get a little carried away with my club
Your suit clean later. Oh ma'am. Are you alright?
There's another rat behind the dumpster here. Oh
Perfect. So that was a test. Yeah, I wanted to make sure you're willing to you know lay down on the line for
You're able to take a hit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She had a bit of a mishap there. Why won't we take you on outside and get a hook?
So, do I cannot trust you to call 911 and tell them that sanitation worker tricks just outside the casino?
Yeah, I can do that. What do you know what I'm saying?
Well usually I probably have my assistant help with this but considering it's a bit of a plus from that I don't mind
What's the number again

That sounds nice, like a nice bed.
What do we have? Tempur-pedic? What's going on?
Well, we could go to the sixth floor.
To that office space, you could probably crash there if it likes.
That seems like a perfect fit for me. That works.
Or we can make him stay in the free apartments for one night.
Maybe he's had enough luxury in his life, so why don't we do that for him?
I mean, sure.
Alright, well, let me lock this door here. Oh, Molly, can you give the door?

There's two buildings.
Now, I'm gonna be honest, I've never been here before, so I'm not sure which one
of them is.
Me neither, dad!
