Can't Buy Me Gold

What's up, party people, and welcome to Countdown To Classic, where it's not my opinion that counts, but yours.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Countdown To Classic. It's so wonderful to have you all here. And here we are, week two of the beta is in the books, and we're ready to digest it all and give you some constructive feedback on what all the guys have thought from what they've seen and heard over the last seven days in the game. And there's so much to talk about. We have a really good extended segment at the top of the call regarding the streamer, gold buying drama slash controversy that I'm sure so many of you are aware of. So please do get your teeth stuck into that. I think it's a fantastic conversation. So I'd love to hear what you guys think about that. And then after that, we basically start to give our reactions to this week's official podcast. So it's kind of a weird inception moment, like the reaction to the reaction from Josh, if you will. But look, the guys really talk about what they think of what they heard from Chris and Zirene on the podcast this week in terms of class design. And we get to hear from some of the specific classes as well and the people who play them on what their reaction is to the roadmap for their spec or their class. So please do enjoy everything that Countdown has for you today. And I'll talk to you at the end of the episode. And as always, guys, I should say, please, please, please, please, please, if you do not have a home, if you're looking for a guild for WoW Forever, please consider playing with Countdown. If you vibe with the show, if you like the cut of our gib, please consider joining the Discord, touching base with us, and joining us on Hoard PVE, where we will be doing our thing. It is predominantly an NA group. There is some Oceanic players as well. So come one, come all, and come and play and raid with Countdown. If you would like to, we are always looking for more people. So I will speak to you at the end, guys. Let's listen to the show. Oh, actually, before I forget, all you Europeans as well, please, guys, if you are interested in being part of a European contingent of Countdown, I'm going to give you a couple of options here. So we are looking for Europeans who might be open to the concept of playing on the NA servers, but raiding and doing their thing during EU-friendly times. Please contact Axel in the Discord to register your interest. So he's putting numbers together. And if he gets to about 20, 25, 30 people, we'll get that up and running for you. So guys, if you're happy to eat just a little tiny bit of ping as a European, but play with all the cool Countdown people, and have that Worldwide Guild That Never Sleeps 24-7 thing going on, we'd love to have you. If you are a European who's like, no way man, I love you Countdown, but I would never give up my ping for any man. That's all well and good too. We have an option as well for you. There is actually a long time European Countdown Guild that have been playing together since 2019 over on the EU servers. So please do yell out in the Discord if you are looking for those contact details. The guys that run that Guild are reachable there in the Discord too, and would love to meet you to expand their roster too. So just trying to get a bit more out there for Europeans as well. I know so many of you listen to the show. So again, if you're looking for a home, we might have options for you. So with that being said guys, let's get into the episode and I'll talk to you at the end.

Alright guys, here we are back again for another episode of Countdown To Classic. Thank you so much for joining us. We have what can be referred to as a veritable shitload of people in voice chat, ready to just absolutely unload on everything and anything World of Warcraft Forever Beta. We have now gone through two weeks. The latest update came through 24 hours ago. The level cap has been raised to 30

A bunch of patch notes have come out with some class changes. We've got a new dungeon. We will have access to a new battleground at level 30, the Darkspear Isles, which as we know is basically Eye of the Storm with the reskin, but we're still excited to get in there and do some PvP eventually. But there is just so much to talk about.
