36-minute breakdown on the entire beta that I stood up to 530am working on for WoW Forever ✌🏻 Covered the pros and cons mainly I had from experience so far. Looking forward to the official game on November 4th. youtu.be/9oYP7eRCfjU?is=sm9s…

Tbh man, I really don't like seeing the comments under @nohitjerome replies. Did he mess up and take it too far? Sure. But people make mistakes, and he was obviously bummed about how things went. Jerome also never felt the pressure of high stake pvp and was taking this serious throughout the week. Dude was working his ASS off, staying up late, running his own tournaments, and putting in hours to deliver content for the community. People don't realize how much work goes into creating content consistently. If you think it's easy, try doing it yourself. Jerome, you pushed too far, but that doesn't make you a bad person. You had a bad night, and I hope you learn from it and keep moving forward. Much luv, dog. 💯

Came down to the wire with this one! I definitely could’ve shielded earlier, but I don’t normally play Priest and I’m still learning. 😂 That being said, we finished the tournament 3-3 overall! 👌🏻 Had a great time competing and being part of everything. I know there’s been a lot of drama surrounding the tournament lately, but at the end of the day, I love dueling and can’t wait to get back on Paladin and keep improving. WoW Forever is gonna be a fun time! 💯

The PVP Tournament is about to go down in WoW Forever! It's been a fun BETA so far and looking forward to the official November 4th release 👌🏻 Good luck to all competitors 👊🏻

Came home to this on my doorstep 😲 WoW Forever Juicer Edition 🤌🏻 This is my 1st collector's edition ever for WoW. Happy to start somewhere.

I listened to @AggrendWoW podcast today regarding RP-PvP servers, and I think the WoW Forever forums are having a lot of discourse around it right now. Personally, I think the developers are heading in the right direction. Time has shown that RP servers can eventually become just another place to play the game, with the RP aspect taking a backseat to completionists, streamers, their communities, and the natural flow of gameplay. That’s not inherently a bad thing, and I have nothing against RP servers. I just think demand for a dedicated ruleset can come with time. Right now, I believe getting the core product into a strong, working state should be the priority. Just my two cents amigos 👌🏻 TL:DR Video here: youtube.com/watch?v=2ikBlj97…

For those who don't know @arkaviun is one of the realest mfs I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. He never backs down from a duel and is WELL known in the WoW community. It sucks seeing him banned from this WoW Forever tournament, especially when he’s one of the few creators who, from what I’ve seen, hasn’t relied on gold handouts or RMT. He deserves a fair shot to get back in the race 💯

The integrity of a Level 30 tournament is ruined when anything beyond Level 30 gear or 225 profession skill is allowed to influence the competition. From what I understand, the rules have now been updated so professions can’t go past 225, which is good. That being said, the level of sweat leading up to this tournament is insane. People are intentionally hiding strats and tech just to keep an advantage until tournament day. This is a BETA. We should be testing things, finding bugs, and reporting issues to help improve the game, not treating every discovery like a competitive secret. Then bigger creators wonder why so many people get annoyed with them. Maybe we should stop giving people reasons to be. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just saying.

Something that @Shobektv said really stuck with me. WoW Forever and this PvP tournament should’ve considered a Solo Self-Found mode. Most of the drama from the past week could’ve been avoided, and I’m happy people are getting banned according to Blizzard. Not every streamer is guilty of RMT, but actions are happening regardless. SSF needs to be heavily considered going forward. It would also give streamers a safe space free from the RMT/handout fiasco, in which the community is exhausted by already. TL;DR video if you want the full scoop: youtube.com/watch?v=m-vtjoJn…

He is ABSOLUTELY 100% correct. I think the fact that every duel requires 10+ consumes/scrolls just to stop dispels/purges, and that these are even needed to compete in the first place, is ridiculous. It makes this tournament only benefit those with a lot of gold. I’m not kidding when I say you need 100+ gold or more just to step foot into this thing. Enchants, Multiple Sets per duel, not considering SR against casters, etc. Skill aside, there’s a HUGE money factor that steers a lot of people away from even wanting to compete. Maybe just have some LOS/pillar play and the occasional FAP/grenade or engineering item. I just think it’s way too much is all I’m saying. Ban most of the consumes/items and this tournament is no longer based on whose bags are heavier, but skill alone.

Ima say it straight up, with all due respect to the competitors farming their own gold: this $100K tournament would’ve been way better if SSF was an option. I know farming gold in a beta sucks, but it’s also VERY easy to make gold if you know what you’re doing. I’ve farmed 100g in a night and a half from FISHING alone in Tanaris & Southern STV. Mithril Bound Trunks have mats everyone is needing for this tourny. The drama surrounding this tournament would’ve been a lot less if SSF was an option to celebrate the release. Just my thoughts.

Just uploading this recording of "The Layering Issue" in WoW Forever atm. I definitely think Blizzard will come around to adjusting this in time. However, it's definitely pretty wonky atm 😂 The video doesn't lie. I am literally phasing in and out of people.

New 5-Set that everyone can farm for PVP or general usage in WoW Forever! All from the City of Dalaran Dungeon as I only received the shoulders at the current moment. Other pictures of loot can be seen here:

So more and more nerfs are being requested because of this tournament. I do think all Scrolls, Consumes, etc. Should be just straight up banned. Allow some Pillar play and LOS and Melee has a better chance. As far as Shamans go, yeah there is some crazy tech there. But if we started hitting classes over LVL 30 content. Man this makes me concerned for the future for WoW Forever.

My only concern right now is whether these changes are based on streamer influence from the Level 30-PvP tournament or actual data showing scaling issues at these levels. I can understand Penance needing a change if Priests were getting away with a 100-mana cost. But overall healing changes and Ret Aura nerfs? I just hope the tournament isn’t the only influence and that dungeon data and open-world engagements are being factored in too.

Hot Take on WoW Forever “Streamer Influence” when it comes to class balance. I don’t consider myself a PvE/PvP expert. I’ve just put in a ton of hours like everyone else. That being said, I don’t think we should be calling classes “broken” or “busted” at Level 30. The more I’ve thought about it since SoD ended, the more I feel like Classic WoW is supposed to be a little busted. With this $100K tournament going on, I’m seeing calls for nerfs to Hunters, Shamans & Priests. These classes are strong at these levels in Classic anyway. Yes, I am aware of the bow and 2h weapon these classes get. Yes, it's banned for Hunters already. Still though, people are asking for nerfs. Sometimes I feel like the loudest voices are just following a streamer’s take instead of actually playing the game and forming their own opinion. I really hope Blizzard sticks to their guns and is careful with what they nerf next. Idk, just my take from a guy leveling Fishing for the 2nd time ✌🏻 P.S. You can fish with your wand out if the weapon is Sheath. 😆

There it is 👏🏻 Listening to the community and continuing to make WoW Forever a better product. W change here 💯 The momentum is good amigos. Let’s keep tackling these community discussions and turning that feedback into meaningful solutions.

Okay, first real critique of WoW Forever. Loving the game and the beta has been a blast, but Excavation Site feels very skippable. It’s a one-and-done filler dungeon. It doesn’t feel as fun to run as Classic dungeons or the other two new ones. The theme also feels a bit sloppy. Not every dungeon needs to be perfect or long, but even a short one can have issues. Ruins of Lordaeron is really good though, hope more content leans that way. Improvements here would go a long way in my opinion. Video thoughts here: youtube.com/watch?v=Y1yXYUtY…

Did I grind late this morning for a PVP necklace/ring I know ima most like lose in the tournament with? Yes. Did I stay up just hanging out with my friends and enjoying the living hell out of my time with PVP and BGs on the menu.. Yes.. (Outside Hunters) 😆but I know there nasty at lvl 30 already. But all that is to be expected with a beta. I'm doing stuff I haven't done in years with WoW. We farming stuff in small groups, higher lvl dungeons for the heck of it. It's what WoW Forever is all about. Testing stuff and not even thinking twice about it. Is everything perfect overall, ofc not. However, I think things will smooth out overtime. With enough community feedback, the support will come.
