So Good For The Game: The Trading Post One Year On!
I love hearing insider thoughts about a game universe that I love so dearly! Great work, Mr. Christopher :)
I love REMIX
Great episode guys! It was really nice hearing about how collaboration works between the team working on the actual game and authors. I've always wondered just how much freedom authors have when it comes to writing stories that are so influential within the game.
I agree with story mode! I did progression with a guild then tried story mode to see what was up with it. It's fantastic but was definitely missing some vital story elements. I think it needed any boss where there's a cinematic (which was more than just Queen!), and as Marty said, definitely Rasha'nan
This expansion has been great, I have been a solo player for years now since my guild moved to Final Fantasy. I can finally have a go at pretty much everything and explore a heap more of the content!
The first time that I dove into Fungal Folly, I knew that eventually the fall would kill me. Yeah, that happened. Glad to hear that I am not the only one with the 'too-much-crap-on-the-ground' problem.
You are never alone!
The paladin "side aprons" made me want NO part of this shit.
I hate fungal folley so much lol
Where's the fun in fungal? 😭
Atleast the world quests give a couple hundred gold, and the big chests you get are up to several hundred to a whole grand
I have a question about the where every expansion is set on a undiscovered island have you heard why that is?
We just keep finding those islands 😂😂
I love Fungal Folly, though I can't say I've ever lost a life right at the start, so maybe I'm biased! On the note of frustrations though, I am a bit fed up with M+ but I don't think it's TWW issue and I actually have a lot of hope for the Blizzard side of it. Yes, there are issues with how punishing everything is and I think they'll fix that, but it's actually the general community vibe that's really getting to me. Honestly, I think the community is largely to blame for the scale of the issues around M+. At the start of the season, I was eager to get involved but my friends told me "just do delves, they're easier and there's no point doing M+". Then when they were finally ready to help me, they said "why are you doing 2s? do 7s, you're geared enough". I felt incredibly overwhelmed because I just wanted to work my way up instead of jumping in at the deep end! I knew realistically that I could time a +7 based on ilvl alone but I wasn't familiar with the routes, affixes, or boss mechanics, so I just ended up dying because I didn't have the knowledge to support me. And I think a lot of people have been given the same message, which has resulted in unskilled players or players who are unfamiliar with this specific dungeon pool being in higher keys that they are not actually ready for. I'm trying so hard to do what is right for me by letting myself work up to the harder stuff and take the time to properly learn mechanics and affixes but I find people around me constantly question me about my choices. "You can do a +7 easily. Why are you doing low keys?" It's really frustrating.
You're right on the money with the community being to blame for mythic+. Idk what happened the last few years to this game but it seems like the mythic+ group wants 0 affixes, 0 difficulty, and just want to "aoe blast big numbers". You cannot make content that's intended to be difficult and interesting for this group of people.
On M+ - I get the same "not fun" vibe. Part of the issue for me is that the gaps between key levels is IMO too large - (especially won the +7/+10 affix boundaries) and this is making it feel a bit unrewarding relative to the difficulty. It's also too easy to hit a progress wall. I also feel that Challenger's Peril adds nothing positive to the experience to offset the negative impacts (esp in PUGging where it's driving added toxicity). As a tank I am also feeling the pain of the tank changes with are especially punishing - and I feel it's causing a shortage of tanks which is making it even harder for PUG DPS to get groups than normal.
faction barrier concept remains relevant in wow vanilla. Other than that, sure why not.
Let's goooo!
Legion had some of the best gear for transmogs, just so many so great Raid sets in Legion. Also Shittylands had some great ones too.
Nah, mythic Nighthold was the best transmog they ever did.
Its ridiculous rating the sets when shown on different races & sexes. Keep the display the same throughout. As a hunter T2 is one of the coolest in my opinion although you are correct us mail classes have been 💩 on from great heights most tiers.
Some useless information for you but when we recorded this video we viewed the sets as per the blog announcement here: worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/news/24147266/the-world-of-warcraft-20th-anniversary-celebration-update-is-now-live
For me, the death knight set looks good, but I would have preferred if they had done an upscale remake of the ICC set. What the judgment set is for paladins, the ICC set is for death knights, in my opinion.
Exectly dont agree my main is DK but i think winner is Monk and dont agree whit pala top score :D But otherwise are some set wich i whould prefer there BC dungeon recolor version. Like Hunter and Warlock orange one. Also on WoWhead was monk gold and black recolor screenshot. So hopefully we will see recolors sooner that in next year :D
My top is: 1. DK - 5 (its inspired on a Pale Rider of WC3) 2. Paladin - 5 (Its cleary that they put a lot of work on this one) 3. Monk - 5 (It just works) 4. Priest -5 (Idk I just like it tbh) 5. Rogue - 4 (Cool, emblematic for old people and not that great) 4. DH - 3.5 (Generic YES but thats the good thing of it since the color palette is the same of other ones you can create a good miss match) 5. Warlock - 3.5 (I like that is a Nax/Cult of the damn set but the color palette is to heavy) 6. Shaman - 3 (I like it but idk atleast now I can have more horde sets on ally alts I guess) 7. Mage - 3 (the one in the trading post is better) 8. Dractyr - 3 (its cool but on dragon form doesn't match with anything) 9. Druid - 3 (I mean its a druid set) 10. Warrior - 2 (Heavily over hyped for what it actually is) 11. Hunter - 1 (I like purple but this is a crime)
My biggest issue with Evoker set is when you're in your draconic form you only see 2 of all the pieces, and they won't fit with that form's armor. They really cheaped out on Dracthyr because they only need to fit whole armor sets on two models, female human and male blood elves. When not in that form, you don't get to see your mog. Blizzard, fix it.
DK #1
Demon hunter is the biggest disappointment I would rate it only 1 what a shame
We were not prepared. 😭
I agree.
Tier 2 is a misnomer -- the gear dropped in Molten Core initially and was moved to BWL after a while. Tier 2 used to have chance to drop off any boss prior to patch 1.4.
Question at 2:06 .. yes. it was. Onyxia dropped the helms.
i was playing this online mafia wars game from newgrounds ( its was military theme ) with some online friends , way before every game on myspace was a mafia reskin. Around the holiday season of 2004 they told me to roll horde on thundelords and then 20 years passed.
Paladin-5 Death Knight-5 Rogue-5 Evoker-4 Druid-4 Warrior-3.5 Warlock-3 Hunter-3 Monk-3 Demon Hunter-2 Shaman-2 Mage-2 Priest-1
Monk by far the best. Just saying
Agree to disagree
My opinions (in murlocs) :D Warrior - 1 Paladin -5 Hunter - 3.5 Rogue - 5 Priest - 4.5 Shaman -3.5 Mage - 3 Warlock - 2 Monk - 5 Druid - 4 Demon Hunter - 2 Death Knight - 5 Evoker - 3
they ruined bloodfang with the shiny metal imo
Monk by far the best set.
Yup and monk wasn’t out then so they def made a great set.
As a monk main i was stoked
lol - only took you guys 20 years to catch up to what we've been experiencing for the last.... 20 years...
🤔
I think they should do a secondary profession that uses old mats to populate the older zones. Maybe cut it off around mist or legion and cut out WOD all together.
Could be a neat idea! There's so much potential in the old world that could be used!
The garrison was fun but it was very limiting and honestly just felt like we need a city and just don’t have time to make one.
Garrisons was an interesting concept, but I think we all agree they had shortcomings, hopefully lessons learned!
Ok but can they fucking reduce Branns hitbox or make it so it doesnt constantly collide with LITERALLY anythint i actually want to click on?
Amen!
Bran grew on me, I would be lost if I had a day without hearing "what are you waiting for" when I afk.
Annoyed when he's around, miss him when he's gone.
What did you think of the announcement for Playing Housing?
I'm apprehensive... but I hope it's good. Like you said, they'll probably microtransaction the shit out of it unfortunately, as it's been proven time and time again that skins, in this day and age, are the BIGGEST money maker, comparable to a casino. Bro I would not be surprised if they started doing crates and unboxes for random shit in the store. WoW devs are controlled by CEO tycoons who only care about cash, they even said this themselves, that the original designers left long ago and Blizz will never return to its former glory.
I just don't want it to be garrisons 2.0. I want proper customisation! Like the ability to place things freely and choose my wallpaper, instead of being stuck in a house with spikes on it because I chose to play a Horde character. Either way, I'm excited to find out more about it!
@@archmagesar yeah I'm with you
@@Swoots275 I guess the one thing about micro-transactions is we know it's coming in some shape or form, we aren't fools. We sort of expecting them to go crazy with the Tenders for Trading Post and they haven't, so maybe there is hope. 🤞
This video is like a month late lol
Look.. sometimes our hot takes are so cold, even the Lich King be shivering! 😅
@talkingwow it wasn't a bad video just this was a video that needed to come out like 25 days ago
$120 in Australia
G'Day it is not!
Yeah, sure. Because that will fix invisible frontals in dungeons that worked perfectly fine in old expansions but suddenly they don't. It will also prevent your class from being nerfed ever again.
It's not a Go-Fund-Me is it? But I bet the shareholders are happy 😎
if you have no self respect sure..!!
If self respect is only valued at $90 these days, sign us up!
@@talkingwow did you buy it ???
Absolutely not. And if you pull that stupid assed oversized mount in a BG you're getting flamed. It's too big and blocks peoples forward FOV. Dismount and choose a better mount.
Nobody ever thinks of the PvPers do they!?
Of course not. It takes maybe 15secs to get to a capital city AH and mailbox.
That's 15 seconds I could have been over pulling in Mythic+ and wiping my group!
no one cares. this is america. critiquing a company for making a product and listing at a price is literally how this country runs.
You cared enough to comment, and we thank you dearly!
All in-store wow items should be cosmetic. The mount provides function that are not cosmetic, it should have never made it to the store. it is a violation of the social contract and Blizzard's own core values. Wow is not suppose to be pay to win. I can't trust Blizzard after this.
Personally wouldn't call it pay to win unless the mount was crapping out a tier set, but valid point! Thanks for sharing.
90$/6 tokens
Better get gold farming then!
The answer is if you want to buy it, go for it. I haven't myself I just port to Dornogal and use other people's AH mounts in passing 🚶🤣
Your dollar, your rules! 😎
He does some Branndomely things. Master ninja puller
He's the worst isn't he!
Delves suck 😅
You're totally allowed to not like them!
subbed, ty. I'm like Thom on raiding and what's fun generally now. Anyway, I have Brann heal.
Thanks for the sub! #BrannHealMeta
I just want Brann the STFU! lol OMG he drives me insane.
I believe there's a weak aura for that. Can't remember what it's called though.
Hate to be THAT guy, but they already said Delves are an Evergreen thing. Meaning they are here to stay. I really do think it depends on who/what you are playing as to how much fun you have in Delves. I mainly play Melee, and even geared and just doing t8's if I pull to big, or zekky randomly spawns when i'm on an elite. You can get smacked hard. Then again if you do it with a group, then it becomes a bullet sponge cake walk lol.
They say that all the time, doesn't make it true. Delves are shit, but they give such good loot that people have to do them. They have tried to push several scenario type failures over the years and always force it with tons of loot. Take away the loot and see how many people do these regularly.
@@hehawseve3560 take away loot from an MMORPG, you won't have an MMORPG very long. so the no loot, argument is null and void. I find Delves to be fun, but not insanely fun, but alot more fun than Torghast was. No they do NOT say things are evergreen. ALL the systems before Dragonflight were one offs. If you had seen Preach's interview with Blizzard higher ups, you'd know this. Garrisons, torghast, scenarios, and etc. all this stuff was meant to be one off. But what they did do is take that tech and improve on it. Garrisons became class order halls, scenarios worked their way up Mage Tower, and Mage Tower was reiterated on, and tech continued til you got to torghast. Torghast became Zakara Vaults, Which have now become Delves. When talking about The World Soul Saga, if they are adding it, as a main feature to the xpac, then it will be evergreen within at the minimum of The world soul Saga. So this if the first time they introduced an evergreen system of gameplay, since Mythic Plus in Legion.
I'm doing tier 8 only because I heard you don't receive anything better in the higher ones. Is that true? Even a couple more crests would be good.
Above tier 8 is only for achivements or because you want the challenge.
@talkingwow thanks. Hopefully they expand rewards in the future.
@@drid2507 I expect they will.
