And now, here are your hosts.

Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone,

the podcast about World of Warcraft and people who play it.

Today is October 12th, 2025, and my name is Spencer Downey.

Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to the podcast. I'm joined today as always by my co-host Jason Lucas.

Jason, how are you doing on this fine Sunday?

Spencer, hello to you, and happy Thanksgiving to you and to our neighbors to the North.

I hope you have a lovely holiday here.

I am doing well, but man, there's just, we've been, we've been talking about how

there's like too much wow and potentially we're in a spot where there's too much wow.

And like I, maybe we've even hit it in other points in time, but this is one of those weeks

where there's just too much wow.

That's, that's where I'm at.

Like, I didn't even log into Alpha this week because it's like, what, how am I supposed to do this? I did. I did a lot of housing in Alpha this week. That was the one thing I put bandwidth into this week was actually like, oh, I can change what the walls look like. It changes. This was like, then they removed one of the wall options. I was really upset. I'd had a couple of walls that were like accent walls I'd put together. And now we can no longer have just the blank texture of wall. You actually still have to have the framing in it. So they've removed, they removed an option. It could be a bug. Who knows? Jesse from from the housing team said on social media like that was unintentional. So yeah, for this build, it is messed up. And so you can't really mess with it. I know. Not intended. Anyways, I had a conversation with some friends I was writing with 3 Plus with this week. And they were like, oh, so like, how are you liking Druid on Alpha? And I was like, oh, it's actually kind of neat. The direction they they're going there's a lot of changes so like there's some interesting things that i'm i'm kind of excited to try out more and sort of dive into more and they're like and so and you're playing remix too right and i was like yep yeah i got in a remixed so like have you gotten the cast while moving thing yet i miss the starfall cast while moving so much when I got the cast while moving thing. And it was like, no, no, no, no, no. I can't play Druid in three different versions of World of Warcraft at the same time. I will break my brain. Like, I cannot do that. So I'm playing a paladin on Legion remix because it's very different from what I do druid-wise and I have no idea what

I'm supposed to have been doing as far as the Paladin stuff goes for Rep Paladin. So that is fine with me. I just chose a class and was like, look, I want to get a bunch of cool plate armor sets. This is a great way to get a bunch of cool plate armor sets. So I chose to do that. a level of druid later

and just buy up the stuff I want to buy up

on that druid. I'll level a Druid later and just buy up the stuff I want to buy up on that Druid

because I'll have massively accelerated leveling process from doing stuff on the Paladin.

But yes, I am not going to expose myself to Druid in live game

while doing Druid in Legion remix while doing Druid in Alpha
