my friends stopped playing wow because it felt like having a 2nd job at home after coming home from work irl. Games supposed to be an escape and having fun. Hopefully this new philosophy will make them return back to wow.

[noroomcommies]

I remember when other MMOs would take the good ideas from WoW, now it looks like WoW is taking the good ideas from other MMOs.

[srl]

YES! I'm so happy you got access to closed Alpha - you content is top tier and most of all trusted so its great to get this early look.

[muzhik]

You're great at what you do! Thank you!

[Zaral]

While I'm certainly looking forward to a new expansion, I didn't yet have any real hype for it. Your enthusiasm, attention to detail, and delivery have sent me into full pumped-up hype. Great stuff.

The fact that Blizz recognized Quazii's gifts and contributions with this inclusive invite shows me that they're very smart. 
This like a blast. They listened (and read) it seems.

As a brand new WoW player (about a month played), the account-wide progression changes with Warbands is super appealing. I come from FF14's systems, and was very worried about having to grind the same stuff over and over again if I wanted to try out different classes.

[GideonCyn]

The best experience i have had playing WoW was the launch of Dragonflight, everyone was outside and the world didnt feel like separate zones due to dragonflying, it felt like a massive playground with tons of stuff to do. But as soon as season 1 hit, all of that player interaction just died due to everyone being in M+ and raids. I hope, that this with their new commitment to more casual players, that questing and doing stuff in the overworld is equally rewarding to your character progression as M+ or raiding is.

Been testing it, it's phenomenal, I can see (maybe for the first time) that WoW may not feel like a second job, especially for an altoholic like me.

[spunky]

I'm so excited. I've noticed over the years that I've been getting burnt out because I love alts, but I would hate having to essentially start over every time. I switched mains 4 times during DF and after the third time I just stopped caring. Never got any of the reps maxxed out, standing in the middle of Val with hundreds of exclamation points around me. TLDR, IM EXCITED FOR WARBANDS!!!!

[kevlan]

Glad to see you got the Alpha access, you definitely deserve it

[thereal-ghost]

Alpha has been a blast, the 2 other testers I run with are also agreeing that this is so far going well for the progression of the game. Bugs for sure, but that's why we're testing :)

[PanDMek]

Just stumbled across this channel. Instantly Subscribed since you were giving such great detail and content for this upcoming game! You got me excited for sure!

[EvocadoTheEvoker]

Delves seem to be what Torghast was supposed to be. Im really glad to see it being made so well.

[stevenpike]

The graphics look VERY good. Everyone focuses on game mechanics, but I do love and give appreciation to the art team as well.

[invadergame]

I love that whenever I hear news about this game it makes me feel like they are moving in the right direction. However, they really need to nail it or I can't justify coming back. As someone who is no longer a teenager with infinite time, I need a game to respect my time (and money) the same way I do. Coming back around last November after quickly getting burned out of Dragonflight's release I had a lot more fun, but the game is still fundamentally more about player retention than enjoyment. Each expansion is always full of new quality of life, but the main system is the same, spend copious amounts of time grinding RNG for BIS with a system so time intensive that it incentivizes gatekeeping from the veteran players. I think there should be a reward for playing the game more (like higher ilvl with gear reflected by the time you spent getting it), but if I'm really falling behind because I only have time to play once or twice a week, it will never be sustainable. Ironically, if they can figure out a solution to my problem which I think is echoed by many other players, I will probably think it's worth investing more time into again.

[matthewwarnke]

Love watching this content Quazii! Your delivery is perfect for me.

[ChickenSoupMusic]

MOP/WOTLK also with it's class design and how damage/tanking/healing roles FELT.

[dantepeterson]

"I felt like I was being shackled by the Jailer" haha I felt that statement. So funny and accurate.

[njflyersfan]

While I’m grateful for warbands I smirked during blizzcon at its announcement- literally myself and others over ten years ago actually closer to fifteen years now ask for exactly what warbands is in the suggestions forum they used to have. Oh well better late than never.
