WoW or Gold Brainstormz

Notice! Recorded two days after the first Dragonflight Update but uploaded to the podcast feed the very same day

How I'll adapt to the Solo Shuffle bracket and thus deal with other people "sucking" without ever feeling a need to tilt. Focus on what you can control and improve there

No more show notes from this point onward. It's so much more important for me to upload swiftly and keep my process as smooth and predictable as possible. That way I can keep on focusing entirely on improving rather than do things because it's "meta". At the end of the day my meta IS all about improving constantly and doing things my way

Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience

Take care out there I Love You!

This episode is an unintentional inbetweener between the two different podcast projects and I'm keeping this recording since it's an important part of my process of living more authentically. Especially long-term when I will have learned more in the future and can look back at this period in hindsight

I'm trying to focus on topics regarding WoW while things happen on the streets. I tried writing some show notes for this one, but after more than 7 attempts I'm giving up and just letting it go. It's all a part of the process of my own evolution

Dragonflight

This recording is all over the place a'la the classic Brainstormz episodes, but I still manage to dig deep. Just took much longer haha

I'm basically clearing my mind after an intense period. The more I keep on talking the more I notice how much this recording helps as a part of my mental regrouping as well as my healing process. I felt as if I was about become sick while recording this as well

I prefer female Rogues. The female Night Elf looks the absolute best with the best animations for my tast. Not sure which race I'll use Horde side. The new models really have lessened my options in regards to races I want to play. What's up with those creepy eyes? This is the single most chill return to a pre patch that I've ever had. Ever. There's so much "you can do" that I'm skipping

The reasons why I want to main Rogue. Tired of carrying so many sets of gear as a Druid when I min max. As a Rogue all I need is to change weapons and PvP gear. Eventually. Playing on NA gives me a great opportunity to focus a lot more on one class compared to EU where I have a plethora of alts available. How I'll switch from Rogue if I change my mind. Starting out with chill steps feels so good. It lays a great foundation if I want to go hard later on

The difference between EU and NA players in general. I have a Rank 1 mindset, but I would never spend the time reaching Rank 1 Different pre patch behaviour in Shadowlands because of all the Garbage systems Blizzard implemented. Skipping a ton of "content". New playstyle priorities, PvP plans, Dragonflight choices, Testing pre patch before buying the Dragonflight expansion

Solo Queue is rated. So what does that mean for the future? Solo RBG Queueing? Blizzard chose Solo Shuffle instead of Solo Queueing. The second choice would be so much easier to implement but Blizzard pride, bro. Modern Blizzard = Blizzard 2.0 and forward. Listen to episode # 32 for a breakdown of how Supercell managed to do what Blizzard 2.0 never could. How I'd find and add chill PvPers through Solo Shuffling. The Butthurt meta mindset vs the Rank 1 mindset. The Rank 1 mindset is 3 - 10% of the entire playerbase and within that already limited percentage there will be another 3% that push harder than the other 97% within the Rank 1 range. I might delve deeper into this topic about the 1 - 3% mindset at a later date. Time tells, there's no rush

This gaming episode was recorded a week after the first Love Letterz episode that I mention during the recording. But at the time I wasn't sure if Love Letterz would be the name of that new project

Back to WoW. Resubbed as a way to chill out and get used to the 10.0 pre patch . Casual playstyle. No Hardcore projects planned at all. Dragonflight thoughts. Less timesinks for me to avoid. Professions is one of the timesinks though. Choosing region Using free PTR testing to save cash longer + the PTR IS available so why not? Ui, addons, keybindings etc

Which faction? Time tells Dragonflight. Relaunch of retail WoW due to a huge loss of players. No, I still don't trust Blizzard I have a different pre patch behaviour in Shadowlands because of all the Garbage systems Blizzard implemented. The outdoor solo content sucks more than ever Taking breaks = saving so much irl lifetime + avoiding in game agony/slavery. I didn't play the Shadowlands Tier Set patch at all. It feels like an absolute win since the Sets got nerfed during pre patch + Legendaries only work in Shadowlands zones now. It just goes to show how entirely messed up Blizzard's systems have been this dead expansion. I through in a pun there since Shadowlands killed WoW lololol Switching main class to Rogue from Druid. Since we can fly + I expect Herbalism to be nerfed for Druids in all Dragonflight zones. In cleaner words, I doubt Druids will be the fastest gatherers in Dragonflight + with the Region wide Auction House I don't expect herbs to be worth that much at all either during the entire expansion either. Unless Blizzard make their usual mistake of adding a non-flying zone. Which I bet they will. "Great Scott!" - Doc, Back to the Future

Portals and minimizing travel times is the highest priority. I'll always be an Engineer on my toons IF the Dragonflight Wormhole is worth having as it was in Shadowlands. New UI? I'm not satisfied. I said that I miss the old nameplates but I meant the old targetplates I'll level alts to level 50. Then to level 60 from the 15th of November when Chromie Time gets boosted to level 60 content. During the recording I talked about Dragonflight launch because I didn't remember the 15th of november while I was recording Bleach 1000 Year War adaption lasts 52 weeks with ZERO filler. It will be so fun to watch and add to my recurring anime watch list of classic favorites With Blizzard games you have to play smart if you don't have time to spare. NOT playing WoW is the best way for me to play right now. The longest break I have ever taken gave me the opportunity to focus on other fun stuff in life and come back when I could skip most of the Shadowlands systems entirely. I'm a master at adaptation + avoiding timesinks while maximizing my fun. The reason why I mention this concept nonstop year after year? Because it is the main reason I can play and have fun in WoW and has been they way that I have played since I finally got Earthwarden to drop on my Bear Druid alt after burning out on PvE content in TBC. I mained Hunter and played Mage as an alt as well. Of course! Gold making was ALWAYS a very high priority from the very beginning since my friend, Thefortunate, told me that gold was so hard to make. You see how it all comes together and connects in Grayz's World now? Haha

The WoG Brainstormz Podcast is Transforming

Why should I continue to podcast at all? Where do I go with this project when there are more important topics that I'm passionate about than gaming? Why do people still listen to me, even after I stopped uploading episodes consistently several years ago?

Those are a couple of the many topics that I dive into in this first episode of Love Letterz. As I prepare to change the course of this podcast project entirely thanks to my beloved loyal listeners as well my own growth

Being myself more and more in day to day life as my experiences become more and more intuitive every year

To all of the listeners that have passed away. Thank you so much for your love and support. You are one of the many reasons this podcast is heading down a new path. A path few would dare to choose

To those still listening that appreciate hearing about my crazy adventures, thank you! We're about to turn the heat up a couple of notches and as always I record when I record, but the difference now is that I'll be motivated since life itself is extremely motivating to talk about

In the end all the lessons I've learned through gaming have made me want to play the game of life at even higher levels

This return to WoW was not planned, but PvP vendors was the deciding factor like for so many other players. I actually thought I'd return 6-12 months into this xpac.

Stream of thoughts. Been a long time since I recorded anything.

No interest in the last patches of BFA, the expansion after, the endgame, the systems, the leveling (too easy and tied to a Campaign on rails), thoughts about PvP, RBG's, leveling alts to avoid burnout, improving and making choices to increase raw skill rather than rating, rerolled to Druid, using even more networking strats and a lot of other stuff. Oyeah, switched guild as well.

Avoiding timesinks is a habit ever since Earthwarden (Druid Tank Mace from BC) got replaced early Wrath, alts played depend on how one-sided Blizzard's thinking is with a system. Had my best gold making run ever with Enchanting before 8.2. Changed playstyle entirely to multiclassing by myself instead of doing serious PvP. Stacking classes I enjoy. Blizzard repeat mistakes with stats every expansion. I will force myself to stick to fewer alts before flying. Devotion, my main's guild, has finally gotten their shit together and progress much further than the old iteration of the guild. 5/8 HC @ patch 8.2 raid. Notice. I'm doing dishes the first 5 while recording. At 4:08 I drop some noisy shit. Battle for Azeroth

My friend, Krieeg, wanted to go all in on Classic as a ganking Rogue. Me, on the other hand, wanted to get my main names and dabble in Classic 6-18 months after launch. No hype train, no queues, no obligations, just play it at my own pace. Make my coppers and silvers and just enjoy the ride of old WoW slowly. Well, those plans went to shit, so here we are. The entire world is upside down.

The best part about Classic is that I can play them entirely differently. So I'm playing retail as an action arcade version of WoW where I can blast through things alone.

Side notes: Good luck understanding this episode. It's oldschool Grayz in many ways. Also, the audio skips at times. This is an issue with my beloved s7 and I'll keep on recording on it. But if the skips hurt a very important topic in the future, I might have to use on another phone. Time tells.
