In hindsight, I have so many questions I wanted to ask, I wish I could've asked them all! Hopefully next year I'll get the chance again to do this!
I wonder how much Woops woulda flipped if Yoshi-P said "Hello Woops, I too am also Woops"
Yoshi P is the GOAT
man, everyone had all kinds of takes. all these interviews were really interesting. i feel like yoshida got hit on by all forms of players in the community
So glad you asked about how the downscaling may affect stuff like alliance raids. I'm sick of everyone trying to get Syrcus tower in Araid Roulette and everyone just steamrolling it!!!
Hey woops its me
Awsome
I've been hoping someone would ask about alliance roulettes and the squish, syrcus tower specifically. I can't wait for the chaos of alliance roulette when people can't face roll it as hard
…been seeing some longer videos, but woops and Drak have very short ones. Did they just get unlucky with their timeslots? Others have hour+ videos. Good questions, though. There's definitely been some mechanics that take me off guard in alliance raids that I only see when we're doing poorly. Wonder if bosses in Praetorium will do actual damage in EW…
I have always been hoping for older content like old 24 mans to gain some of their life back. People that would get upset over that it takes longer can just go %*@$ a #&%+
Lol I love the two requests. The effects just make you feel cool you know. Though I personally would prefer something new and not the greased lighting effect (even though it's iconic) or maybe that's just my inner Dragon Ball child self being selfish 😅
I always imagined perfect balance giving some sort of visual effect like glowing eyes or stuff.
Yoooo! Are we gunna actually be able to see the last phase of Alexander and hear the brute justice song more when we get it in roulettes!? Nice! 😮
excellent questions
I mean, that question about rewards for running old content like Alexander Savage, rewards already exist – the Gordian/Midan/Alexandrian gearsets. The Midan Metal Bow is still my go-to glam Bard weapon to this day because it, and so much of those gearsets, are gorgeous
I am both excited to see more mechanics in older instances and kind of horrified to queue into Alliance Raids now
Throw in updated glam sets and maybe even new mounts and I’ll run the shit out of MinIlvl no echo old raids on my spare time
Thanks for your insightful questions homie!
pog
Thanks for the insights woops!
ok
This must've been an amazing experience
Thanks for sticking up to our blue swirly dragons, Woops!
