I was interested in doing this cause this is brand new. So the idea behind story mode rating was you're going to get to experience, this is how they pitched it, right? You're going to get to experience the raids in a new way. Um, the story that was in the raids, you know, and, um, And a lot of the story historically has been in the raids. Like a lot of the storylines conclude inside a raid.

You build it up in a quest line. You're doing all the footwork. You're doing everything, boots on the ground, doing all the work for all these NPCs. And then it always ends up concluding inside a raid. And it just happens to be that not everybody's a raider. Not everybody even wants to go into LFR. I know LFR...

makes it easy to experience but some people just don't want to do that either and also it's kind of chaotic and everything's moving fast and you can't really experience it right yeah so they were like let's do story mode reading we go in and experience the story so i went in and did it and uh my my first thoughts got after i finished the story mode raid was That was dumb.

Well, I disagree with you actually on that. All right, go. Because that's kind of what I thought in a way at first. You know, like you said, you pop into the last boss, you just beat the last boss. It's a super trimmed down version, which has the whatever mechanics still remain after they've gutted all the mechanics out of the encounter for the story mode. Yeah.

They're very inconsequential and you don't, you could just stand there probably. And it would, the boss would die. Um, it's, you're really just there to experience the last boss and then get that cut scene. And when I came out of it, I thought, wait a minute. We were able to get the cutscene before.

Like, even in the game, there was always an NPC you could go talk to and they'd say, let me tell you what happened in the raid. And you'd get the cutscene. Like, why do we need to go in and watch nine other NPC follower people shoot their spells at the boss and then get... Like, it just seemed like... why am I doing this?

It's just that this little... You're not getting that. No, it's weird. So I had some bad feelings about it, right? But then I thought about it some more. And I thought because I was I was literally in my notes typing up my complaints to talk about on the show. Yeah. And and as I was thinking how best to to criticize everything, I literally typed out the sentence. It just feels so inconsequential.

Like when you have to fight so-called powerful enemies at the end of a quest chain. But really, they're no danger at all.

You know, you know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah. Like.

even if at the end of a short story side quest there's they're like go kill warthog mcgee because he's been killing and he's like an epic skull he's got the skull thing next to him and he's like a plus question mark character and but and in in in name plate only though right because like there's no way that this guy's gonna kill you because they don't want you to die blizzard doesn't want you to die they want you to experience the end of the quest but that's when i realized oh that's what this is
