WoW or Gold Brainstormz

Notice. This was recorded before the season began except for the end, but I don't get into WoW there.  Hahaha yes! He's baaaack. Been a while. More Sub Rogues, more PVP, more learning, more of everything. Especially since The War Within was announced with it's features. Ie Warbands and ranked Solo Queue RBG's! With the addition of Solo Queue RBG's coming it means that I've decided to go hard with practice to maximize my chances of success once the expansion launches. They've also added Rank 1 titles. I won't be going for that the first seasons but I'll make sure to improve...

WoW or Gold Brainstormz

The backlog of recordings keeps growing. Life is very busy and I'm prioritizing other things than gaming and podcasting I'm grateful that I was able to help chip in @ Skylander when he wanted a gaming rig a couple of years back. The reason I mention that is because of this; Lil' Grayz will have his laptop coming in next week. That will be a huge day for Lil' Grayz!  I discuss my new position at work (1 month has passed), things I've done and learned. Skills I've learned in the past that help me in the present. I mention the importance of accountability, adaptability, integrity,...

WoW or Gold Brainstormz

My AWC mindset has been taking things too far during Dragonflight. Slowing down A LOT by faffin' about on alts doing whatever instead of tryharding 247 on my Rogues, overdoing it Calming down from doing constant learning pushes with my Rogues. Real life pressure spilling into WoW. A downside of having mindset at a world class level since the early teens. Old habits die hard. Sometimes. Hence, aiming to balance life with all of the constant and huge changes that are happening on all fronts in my life. When to practice for perfection vs when to take it easier. Will use my BM Hunters in Solo...

Notice! This was recorded before 10.1 release My thoughts before doing my very first Solo Shuffle (writing shownotes before uploading. Afternoon 5/5 - 23. I've only done one Shuffler and I LOVED it even more than I ever thought I would haha). Rewatching that gameplay has been godsent). Using the Git Gud Gaming website for learning buffs and debuffs, my need to play consistently if I want quantum leaps to happen. Deciding on getting into the Arena bracket seriously for Season 2. Using my knowledge from Chess when breaking down PVP, especially @ Arena brackets; The opening, the midgame, the...

Message from my sponsors: Here it is, bois! Yet another milestone episode! You can pay me over at Patreon, Twitch, Youtube, Kickstarter etc etc etc haha. Let's get that scrilla! Notice! I used that scratchy ass sounding jacket. It’s annoying but there’s no way I’ll rerecord this episode which was hyper-focused. Riplolwuh The very first WoW podcast, "Dictaphone Sessions", that I recorded was recorded back in 2012. What a journey this has been!

Perturb's wise words, toon and realm choices, my updated thoughts on rating. Dragonflight Minimal show notes from this point onward. It's more important for me to upload swiftly and keep my process as smooth as possible. That way I can keep on focusing entirely on improving rather than do things because it's "meta".

WoW or Gold Brainstormz

This episode was recorded during Shadowlands The relationship to WoW as well as the podcast changes as my life changes, Brainstormz is a lot of perspectives at once counter-attacking eachother, "you win small so you can win big" -Ed Mylett, audio recordings (podcasting) happen when I experiment and reflect, video recordings (streaming) happen when I go hard in WoW and want to improve consistently, reaching specific goals requires specific actions. The details might change but the principle is the same especially when it’s goals tied to performing at the highest levels  Watch my Twitch...

Hahaha yes! He's baaaack. Been a while. More Sub Rogues, more PVP, more learning, more of everything. Especially since The War Within was announced with it's features. Ie Warbands and ranked Solo Queue RBG's!

With the addition of Solo Queue RBG's coming it means that I've decided to go hard with practice to maximize my chances of success once the expansion launches. They've also added Rank 1 titles. I won't be going for that the first seasons but I'll make sure to improve constantly.

The biggest "shocker" in practice this time around is that I'm continuing with practicing the loathed topic of Damage hahah. Because that is my biggest achilles heel. It's what I find the hardest on a class like Rogue where all I want to do is strategical and tactical plays. A Fire Mage is different. There I can go ham with both sides. Hunter is the same. Druid as well (not really, it makes me less dps interested as well haha). Funny thing though. Before the break I was already focusing on things tied to damage and I had already decided to practice damage. It's just that I forgot since when I switch project focus I drop whatever I leave and go all in on the new/current project. In this case it's been work an family

Key topics

  • The War Within expansion announced, will change the game even more than Dragonflight which I still view as the single most fun expansion to date by far. Expansions being announced + getting near the last season always makes me play a lot more, even when busy. This has been my pattern since The Burning Crusade was leading into Wrath of the Lich King. Expansions make me play more, even when super busy.
  • All focus on chill Battleground Blitz Brawl practice and fun. No more RBG tryharding nor getting affected by other peoples drama and garbage attitudes. Looking back as my journey with World of Warcraft has been evolving a lot over nearly two decades
  • Deciding whether to gear up mains or alts when gearing will be the easiest it's ever been for casual/midcore players. The hardcore always get hit with rng sadly
  • Thinking about how to get tier sets. Not been updated on acquisition since I had a 6 month ish break. I'll need to consider different ways to obtain tier sets and which bonus they add
  • The Auction house will be interesting in The War Within with the introduction of Warbands and truly region wide gold opportunities for your account. My dead realms will become useful and I'll be able to delete a lot of old toons
  • The combination of Blitz and the Great Vault in Season 4 is an amazing change. Season 4 begins. I'll play a lot in both NA and EU. With the Great Vault it means EU become a lot more important to be active in as well. Finally
  • Gold making plans using Blitz and PVP
  • This episode was recorded during Dragonflight

Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience. Actually streamed yesterday. Whaaaat?!? Nvidia GeForce Experience makes it so much faster to just go with less hassle than OBS and they'll be even more cracked out now than ever haha

Take care out there
I Love You!

Grayz Content

  • https://www.youtube.com/grayzbdf I mostly upload hidden videos for my own learning process. I make some stuff official when I can focus on such things
  • https://www.twitch.tv/Grayzbdf I stream when I have energy. Not often at the moment sadly but it will happen because I rest more so that I can increase the chances.  I upload to Youtube more often right now. Funny switcheroo right there. Especially since vods last 7 days instead of 14. 
  • https://truthsocial.com/grayzbdf Replaces Twitter for me although I doubt anyone else uses it for gaming haha. But when have I ever stopped doing something because I'm alone doing it? I type things whenever I feel like it in whichever quantity I want to
  • https://twitter.com/grayzbdf I really dislike X. Mostly a 100% inactive here. I type things whenever I feel like it in whichever quantity I want to
