11:34 “Those are nice, good for the hunter.” -needs immediately

I swear im waiting to walk into work. Im employed

"those gloves are good for a hunter." needs

I liked how RFK made it so you had some greens going into barrens you had/have a good chance of getting the slots you already have in green and mb a new piece that was totally good enough

Honestly, I can't wait for the release and chilling on the couch playing WoW.

No threat meter, but threat built into nameplate now, go check options. I kinda like it. Bar flashes and changes color when you're gaining threat or take aggro

If you watch force gamings video on him playing he mentioned that the blue gear doesnt seem to make you much more powerful and that Xaryu tested it by clearing the same area in classic with the same level mage and cleared it as fast if not easier than in forever so his take is that Blizzard have tuned power levels down across the board but used gear to bring us back up to where we needed to be baseline with classic which makes gear more impactful. So initially it looks like we are getting more powerful because the gear is blue and the numbers are higher on the surface than what it was on classic but the game feels balanced how it should be still

Great podcast to listen to driving to work. Thank Esfand!

Keep up the good work Esfand

4:42 They took the Ruins of Lordaeron from Cataclysm (when everyone got flying and everything you could not see or access previously had to be made), not BFA. BFA Capital City is much more high res than that.

The look to the camera before the jump was just perfect. Like "we all want to know dont we." And then the bit widening of the smile as he fell to his death. Briliant bit.

I love your roleplay prep talks where you stand up hahaha I actually really enjoy it please continue doing it

the asterisk shows the “realm less” aspect is just realm management in the background. it explains why people have issues communicating with each other or people appearing as offline when they are actively in game after logging out and back in

I wish they made those golems on the bridge do a charge and knockback, that would be so funny xD

I'm not gonna watch the vid to keep it exciting when I finally play it in November, but here's some engagement big dawg.
If you like the dungeon, then I'm sure I will too. Getting real excited, I tell you what!

Esfand the Threat meter is built into the nameplates its pretty good I use it when tanking on my undead prot pally

I really like how this game looks so far

A big thing with the gear is that abilities have been retuned with the gear in mind. Base damage is down across the board with more emphasis on scaling. Without the low-level gear bump, those levels are going to be worse than Classic. If they make lower rank abilities have a higher base to compensate, it will end up in a weird spot where you don't actually up rank your DPS abilities when your first blues do come online. I get the 'feeling' argument of wanting loot upgrades to feel more special, but there is logic behind why they're doing it the way they are.

17:13 this is what the game needs, this is why classic wow is so popular, this is why WoW all together is so popular.

100% agree on the item rarity! I hope blizzard listens to this
