But I think that, like Torgas before it, like Island Expeditions, like other ideas that are a little half-baked, maybe this one, a little more time in the oven, we might get something special out of either future patches for this expansion or whatever 12.0 brings. Maybe this will be more fleshed out. Yeah.

to knock stuff out at a faster cadence now so I hope it's not a consequence of that and then that gets worse so yeah those are all questions that have to be answered with time but on the one hand everybody's like ooh an expansion almost every year you know right around That's amazing. They've been trying to do that forever. Well, why do you think it's been hard for them in the past 18 years?

Because it's hard. If you want to hit quality levels, standards, and provide tons of content quickly, they're kind of at odds with each other. Stuff doesn't just happen. But they've also streamlined a lot of pipeline technically and otherwise over there. So maybe now is the time where all this can happen. But yeah, I worry about that a little.

Yeah, we'll have to see. What else? Oh, you mentioned something here about the Arathi. I love everything that's happening with the Arathi, with that zone. With the crystal sun that turns on and off every three hours. Everything about that place. Everything about Hallowfall is amazing. It is number one zone in the history of the game for me.

And that says a lot because I put up a video in the last couple of weeks or something describing my favorites. But this thing leapfrogged over my previous favorites. And it's not just how it looks, although it is amazing how it looks.

But the way that zone is constructed, the things you can do in there, the diversity of content available in that zone alone, and then add on top of that the music, the stoic people with some really great cultural stuff being sprinkled in with different quests and stuff. There's the quest with the girl who's an orphan. Yeah. I don't remember the name of the quest.

and you know like heartfelt genuine yeah didn't feel like just a throwaway story idea in fact the side questing which we haven't really talked about a huge leap up in my opinion in terms of what you do how long they are some of them are longer main quest stuff and in particular the one with the the old earthen who's i forgot what his job was even but basically he's got alzheimer's

And I just really appreciated that. And I don't feel that way about most WoW questing, period. Yeah. I've been doing this for a long time. It's all fine.
