@taliesin&Evitel You spoiled it for me!
10:34 well i agree with that. Mythic+ should always be available for every dungeon from every expansion. So many great dungeons sitting there rotting away.
So funny how 10.0 will be about dragons. Clearly trying to copy FF dragon theme/trend.
Meanwhile at Blizz: Oh God, Taliesin's guessing our expansions again.. Quick, do something!
10.0: World of WarCraft: The Tuskarr Islands 😐
*faint shrieking from Nixxiom in the distance
I just hit 100 attempts on the Destro Lock challenge. It's discouraging but I am seeing some progress so it's not completely impossible
I'm sorry, I'm still not a fan of the farming old gear to do current content.
I miss the days when my gaming videos were non-political and focused on gaming. The stuff at Blizzard was/is terrible but are we going to be discussing it for the next 3 expansions? Its like a feature at this point. Also, poor choice of words given the subject matter 30:36.
I remember 2017 druid tank artifact tower, even with full gear at the end of the expansion it was stupidly hard. But because of bad design. Fucking confusing mess.
I remember getting the combat rogue skin just hours before the reset. I think I did all but the monk, DH and Shaman challenges when we had insane artifact weapons.
Woke culture sucks, 10 years from now we'll look back and think, how crazy were those people.
an american company trying to stop employees from having power … lol where is the surprise ? america is barely a country, 0 social support – all they know how to do is scream how they are the greatest country in the world – yet couldn't be the furthest from the truth
Still insufferable communist Tali. Pathetic
Why would you make a challenge difficult? 😆😆
What about Byron? He doesn't want to say bye!? :'(
love the Yolo Christmas sweater 🐧😂
Nice sweater!
YOU BOTH LOOK GREAT HAPPY HOLIDAYS FAM
What's the point of playing if everything is spoiled before it comes out. I am not convinced wow is going to be fun moving forward.
Sorry but only having a bit of character during that quest chain doesn't make him worthy of a role like that. I played the entirety of the kyrian campaign and my god was he forgettable and just overall uninteresting
I feel like if you do the cliffs notes version bad reading of the story of shadowlands, you end up with something that sounds as awful as it would be true. "Shadowlands – Hottie who thinks shes a mean girl gets tricked by muscle bound jerk into ruining her life while he uses her. The smartest, strongest girl was taking a nap the whole time and didn't lift a finger to stop the bad guy. In the end, we find the right man for the job to go fix this mess." You know the average guy is the white knight to save us from the muscle dudes and bad or lazy girls.
Blizz can't seem to stop themself from slapping the word fantasy over sexist trope
The art team dropped the ball big time on that ugly crown
I dont even know why there are QA positions at WoW Blizzard, since the PTR seems to be where "free labor" allows them to check for bugs and other things. I am not aware of many other companies who do the same thing, outside of a closed beta or some other closed / limited access environment while not paying their employees for this work or setup.
Curious to see what the magic fairy snowflakes will take offense to next time, might be shadows or the prison cells in the stockades…..
blizz shouldn’t listen to the people upset over the challenge. they need to normalize difficulty. there are almost no parts of the game outside raids and m+ and high end pvp with any kind of challenge
#KeepStoryOffThePTR
story wise: this is why i still follow T&E, while it "isn't shakespear" like Tali conceded, Tali still does a great job of attempting to explain the story and its various contexts. It definitely mitigated some issues I had with the story as it is now. I also totally agree that having the story completely on the PTR diminishes the experience one might have when playing it when it goes live.
This video made me realize one of the key differences between WoW and FF14. Story spoilers for WoW = Could care less. FF14 spoilers = I will hunt you down and crucify you if you say a single word.
So, the part where Lor'Themar tought Zhekan to read and write… excuse me? Lor'themar is a politician, he is busy, hes certainly not a teacher to some troll, even if said troll is the new Darkspeer ambassador. Lor'themar might choose a teacher for him but doing it himself? Like… no. Whoever thought this was good idea is a complete moron 🙁 It just goes completely against pre-established character, even if thats spars at best where the Blood Elf leader is concerned. Its just very, very unlikely that this would ever happen. But then again, we're talking about WoW…
Also (edit), if we have to bendover backwards to make the book make sense… sorry, thats not our job as readers: if the book is vague to a fault, the writers have to ask themselves if this book should have been published in the first place.
just think about it… a dragon knight class… huh?
So apparently the lore writers at Blizzard just finished watching The Good Place
Tali said there was a new Sayaad ability but I dont see it on the PTR or on WowHead? I can only hope it is a demo replacement so I can play my favorite spec with my new long boy
If they want to put more "advanced" quests up for testing, say the FlappyBirds or the jumping on petals (and always falling through them) we see in Bastion, add their mechanics as a WQ to the PTR just to test that mechanic and leave questtext, and even the circumstance the event will happen, hidden.
EDIT: Just like Preach suggested that the Devs use Torghast to put test Powers that they might later add as Class abilities, Talents or even new Legendaries. Closed environment, no real context for what will happen to it (if anything) but they can still get good data on various synergies that might pop up or that players numbercrunch for them.
EDIT-EDIT: I can see how SOME of the questing is available in the PTR. For example the opening chain where we get to the hub in ZM. I had some very harsh comments in regards to at least one of the quests there, but even some "to me it was not intuitive that this is what the quest wanted me to do". But general "helps us defend this place" or "help us scout a bit" or other stuff, fair. But anything that could be even a semi-major plot-point should not be on the PTR. if they want people to proof-read their Descriptions or help find if they need to flesh something out, then give that under NDA to certain people.
Why does the male succubus have a feminine face? hhmmmm 🤔
What??? 34:40 – 34:50. What are the similarities between a well and a portal. Gramatically or from the wow lore perspective? 🤣🤣
I'm just brute forcing my way to Fel Bear. Every day I get a tiny bit closer. My only hope is that I can beat it before January. I don't care about any of the other challenges. I just want my bear form.
