WoW or Gold Brainstormz

Description post 2022: IF I record any new episodes I will dive into topics that go way beyond gaming, but always having gamers in mind since it's a very diverse crowd with people in all walks of life. Which means that most gamers won't be exposed to anything near the kind of perspectives I would choose to dive into. Especially since I do it because I love it and not for money or fame With love, Grayz Description prior to 2022: The WoW or Gold Brainstormz podcast is based on a hardcore mindset that stems from being into multiple competitive hobbies for 2 decades as well having some very interesting experiences through gaming. Since becoming a father of 3 my blocks of time to play have been decreased, but my mentality has hardened. It's a walk n talk podcast recorded when I have a moment. I discuss WoW and whatever else comes to mind. There is no schedule for the show. I release episodes when I have things to talk about or when I get really fed up with things. Discontent is a great motivator.

WoG Brainstormz # 55 - The War Within Pre Patch (Off Season) - Rather PLAY Than Podcast 07/30/2024

WoG Brainstormz # 55 - The War Within Pre Patch (Off Season) - Rather PLAY Than Podcast Notice! Do NOT expect more than 1 - 4 episodes per expansion at MOST lol. I don't even listen to my own audios as much anymore due to the shift to video and gameplay footage combined which is me "living the dream!" to be honest. I have a lot more alone time now than before which makes game footage with commentary the natural choice for me when wanting to learn, discuss and analyse WoW efficiently. Motivation to record audio compared to playing and recording gameplay is 0. I wish I had the motivation but I'm just not a "content creator". I'm Grayz doing what Grayz does - Constantly learning and moving on to new challenges. I can't promise anything on the podcast side because either I'm way too busy with real life or way too addicted to just playing WoW within a limited time period haha. Key topics Rated Blitz testing released with pre patch MMR, climbing and what I expect in Season 1 and onwards Studying League of Legends Ranked Solo Q peak mindsets Using macro strategies and understanding of the game compared to micro (mechanics, class, teamfights etc) and building a climbing system through the law of averages, staying calm etc WoW players not being able to deal with Blitz mentally. Can't watch most for that reason Warbanks and many other things NOT working at all 6 days into the pre patch. No word from Blizzard. Marketing goes on as usual Seriously considering PVP over making gold. NA gameplay, EU gold, IF I make gold anywhere Pivoting to recording instead of streaming for overaddictive reasons. I n1eed to caaaalm down with WoW Watch my Twitch vods on Youtube for the full Grayz experience. Streamed 24h in 5 days at one point last week. I completely lost it haha. Take care out there I Love You! WoW character info NA Main. Blitzer. My alts are shown lower on the same page Bloodbound. Guild on Sargeras Winterz Twitch channel. Guildmaster HARD SERVE.

Spontaenous come up Rogue (was a dead alt since ding 70 Dragonflight Season 2) for PVP exclusively. I suddenly felt an urge to keep the guild tag alive on EU. Gear is behind so I'm playing on mains to limit test. I discuss the Silvermoon Rogue in Battleground Blitz # 7 on Youtube. Shout to Washed up glads! Grayz Content Where my stuff pops up most consistently since I'm publishing vods again the more I play Rated Blitz. I stream when I have energy + the energy to still function on a Sub Rogue. I actually hit a soft cap energy wise. Weird af but there were real in-game/Twitch reasons haha. Youtube descriptions in the videos uploaded 27 - 29/7 break this down the best. 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 I really dislike X. Mostly a 100% inactive there unless I comment @ someone I follow. #welovethewarwithin /episode/index/show/wogbrainstormz/id/32328302

WoG Brainstormz # 54 - Dragonflight Season 4 Begins - I Always Ramp Up Gameplay Before New Expansions 05/04/2024

WoG Brainstormz # 54 - Dragonflight Season 4 Begins - I Always Ramp Up Gameplay Before New Expansions 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 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!

I make some stuff official when I can focus on such things 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. 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 I really dislike X. Mostly a 100% inactive here.

WoG Love Letterz # 4 - Playing My Positions Like Superstars Do 08/05/2023

WoG Love Letterz # 4 - Playing My Positions Like Superstars Do 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, being respectful, leadership skills, being a teamplayer, listening intently, being sincere, handling complaints and more Honorable mention to Atmosphere in 2023:Atmosphere (the hip hop band) are finally getting closer to being back to their old levels It's been about two decades since I enjoyed their albums a LOT! I'm not there yet but I have been bumping the song nonstop lately! Not had that happen for soooo many years with Atmosphere although they release albums very regularly. Slug's voice is unique so distorted sound efx is NOT my cup of tea + Slug's choices @ beats that blew as well. I digress On that Atmosphere note, Slug's journey is very similar to mine with my different projects. This podcast project actually highlights that more than anything else since it's the longest running project that is out there and official to the public Those that get the comparison get it get it, those that don't don't. And it's fine. What's important is that I do and understand why that is. Long story short; Our creations mirror our lives and the way we view and do things as the decades roll by in life. What a beautiful and yet crazy journey! Lastly, no other musicians have affected me the way Atmosphere have. But I also experience music entirely different from most people which it's why it is so important to my being. Even if it can be years without me listening to anything depending on which flow my life is in and where my focus is at Check out these Interviews with Slug and Ant respectively. Both videos are two-parters Slug pt 1 Slug pt 2 Ant pt 1 Ant pt 2 This episode was recorded during Dragonflight Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience Thanks for listening and take care out there I Love You!

WoG Brainstormz # 53 - Insights of the Shadow Self 06/06/2023

WoG Brainstormz # 53 - Insights of the Shadow Self 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 Shuffles while playing other toons while waiting because of the extremely long queue times Playing Rogue feels wrong as long as the queues are the way they are. RBG Lead again? Playing on EU very actively again. Missed the teamwork of my home region. A lot. Playing objective Rogues is much more common and appreciated there so just playing in that environment is more relaxing. Playing other classes objectively as a way to learn what those classes want to achieve in specific situations. Plus the fact classes that can switch from defense, offense, objective play, teamfighting, slowing enemies etc are the most fun. By far! It's not even close. That's why I always enjoyed playing BM Hunter over MM long before I even understood that these were parts of the real reasons This episode was recorded during Dragonflight Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience.

WoG Brainstormz # 51 - New PVP Seasonal Behaviours Before 10.1 Release 05/06/2023

WoG Brainstormz # 51 - New PVP Seasonal Behaviours Before 10.1 Release 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 endgame. Also, from a futuristic perspective: The better I will get the harder it will be to see progress. At the very top you train & fight the hardest for the smallest percentages of gains. But the gains you add consistently are the exact reason why you gain an edge vs your competition, if they slack. Especially if you end up in a position where the competition stops being your competition simply because you are dominating in mental, practice and execution on the playing field. That is the Greatest of All Time levels among the Grandmasters, and within any part of life, only extremely few ever get to that level and the amount of people that truly understand what it takes to get there is few as well. I love living my lives in the faster lane. Stay on top! This episode was recorded during Dragonflight Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience Take care out there I Love You!

WoG Brainstormz # 50 - Dragonflight Season 1 Ends in 10 Days 04/23/2023

WoG Brainstormz # 50 - Dragonflight Season 1 Ends in 10 Days 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! WoW Life Huge change in mindset this season even when I thought I'd let it be and focus on season 2 instead. RBGs, seeing rating on correct character @ Check PVP, why the feeling of completion is crucial the more I want to compete, how I can gain rating fast if I play, leading RBGs, recording games off-stream, analyse on-stream Deciding on a new Sub build (Avidance main RBG build) where I skip Secret Technique which I love, but that does AoE and use Echoing Reprimand instead for single target, saving energy and building combo points and doing damage instantly after using Cheap Shots during Shadow Dance. I use the same keybind for Cheap Shot and Echoing RBGs is the real drug, practicing specific drills after watching Avidance during my downtimes at home a lot lately. Doing simple analysis on the fly. Rewinding videos when needed for specific breakdowns of what happened and in which order, seeing a lot of Rogue tricks in action that he does habitually Zooming the camera closer to my Rogues in WoW helps with things like Gouge, positioning and many other things. Actually seeing the enemy's front being visible clearer makes split-decision making easier and with Rogue every split-second is extremely important.

WoG Brainstormz # 48 vs Love Letterz # 3 - The Message (Flashback) 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.

WoG Brainstormz # 46 - Mob Life 03/20/2023

WoG Brainstormz # 46 - Mob Life Notice! Recorded two days after the first Dragonflight Update but uploaded to the podcast feed the very same day How I'll adapt to the Solo Shuffle bracket and thus deal with other people "sucking" without ever feeling a need to tilt. Focus on what you can control and improve there No more show notes from this point onward. It's so much more important for me to upload swiftly and keep my process as smooth and predictable as possible. That way I can keep on focusing entirely on improving rather than do things because it's "meta". At the end of the day my meta IS all about improving constantly and doing things my way Watch my Twitch vods for the full Grayz experience Take care out there I Love You!

WoG Brainstormz # 45 vs Love Letterz # 2 - Heirlooms & Gold Making vs Killers & Ghetto Birds 11/02/2022

WoG Brainstormz # 44 - Mindblown 10/31/2022

WoG Brainstormz # 44 - Mindblown This recording is all over the place a'la the classic Brainstormz episodes, but I still manage to dig deep. Just took much longer haha I’m basically clearing my mind after an intense period. The more I keep on talking the more I notice how much this recording helps as a part of my mental regrouping as well as my healing process. I felt as if I was about become sick while recording this as well I prefer female Rogues. The female Night Elf looks the absolute best with the best animations for my tast. Not sure which race I’ll use Horde side. The new models really have lessened my options in regards to races I want to play. What’s up with those creepy eyes? This is the single most chill return to a pre patch that I’ve ever had. Ever. There’s so much “you can do” that I’m skipping The reasons why I want to main Rogue. Tired of carrying so many sets of gear as a Druid when I min max. As a Rogue all I need is to change weapons and PvP gear. Eventually. Playing on NA gives me a great opportunity to focus a lot more on one class compared to EU where I have a plethora of alts available. How I’ll switch from Rogue if I change my mind. Starting out with chill steps feels so good. It lays a great foundation if I want to go hard later on The difference between EU and NA players in general. I have a Rank 1 mindset, but I would never spend the time reaching Rank 1 Different pre patch behaviour in Shadowlands because of all the Garbage systems Blizzard implemented. Skipping a ton of "content". New playstyle priorities, PvP plans, Dragonflight choices, Testing pre patch before buying the Dragonflight expansion Solo Queue is rated. So what does that mean for the future? Solo RBG Queueing? Blizzard chose Solo Shuffle instead of Solo Queueing. The second choice would be so much easier to implement but Blizzard pride, bro. Modern Blizzard = Blizzard 2.0 and forward. Listen to episode # 32 for a breakdown of how Supercell managed to do what Blizzard 2.0 never could. How I'd find and add chill PvPers through Solo Shuffling. The Butthurt meta mindset vs the Rank 1 mindset. The Rank 1 mindset is 3 - 10% of the entire playerbase and within that already limited percentage there will be another 3% that push harder than the other 97% within the Rank 1 range. I might delve deeper into this topic about the 1 - 3% mindset at a later date. Time tells, there's no rush WoW info https://check-pvp.fr/us/Sargeras/Globalled NA toons.

WoG Brainstormz # 43 - 10.0 Dragonflight Pre Patch - Not playing has been the best way for me to play in Shadowlands 10/30/2022

WoG Brainstormz # 43 - 10.0 Dragonflight Pre Patch - Not playing has been the best way for me to play in Shadowlands This gaming episode was recorded a week after the first Love Letterz episode that I mention during the recording. But at the time I wasn't sure if Love Letterz would be the name of that new project Back to WoW. Resubbed as a way to chill out and get used to the 10.0 pre patch . Casual playstyle. No Hardcore projects planned at all. Dragonflight thoughts. Less timesinks for me to avoid. Professions is one of the timesinks though. Choosing region Using free PTR testing to save cash longer + the PTR IS available so why not? Ui, addons, keybindings etc Which faction? Time tells Dragonflight. Relaunch of retail WoW due to a huge loss of players. No, I still don't trust Blizzard I have a different pre patch behaviour in Shadowlands because of all the Garbage systems Blizzard implemented. The outdoor solo content sucks more than ever Taking breaks = saving so much irl lifetime + avoiding in game agony/slavery. I didn’t play the Shadowlands Tier Set patch at all. It feels like an absolute win since the Sets got nerfed during pre patch + Legendaries only work in Shadowlands zones now. It just goes to show how entirely messed up Blizzard's systems have been this dead expansion. I through in a pun there since Shadowlands killed WoW lololol Switching main class to Rogue from Druid. Since we can fly + I expect Herbalism to be nerfed for Druids in all Dragonflight zones. In cleaner words, I doubt Druids will be the fastest gatherers in Dragonflight + with the Region wide Auction House I don’t expect herbs to be worth that much at all either during the entire expansion either. Unless Blizzard make their usual mistake of adding a non-flying zone. Which I bet they will. “Great Scott!” - Doc, Back to the Future Portals and minimizing travel times is the highest priority. I’ll always be an Engineer on my toons IF the Dragonflight Wormhole is worth having as it was in Shadowlands. New UI? I’m not satisfied. I said that I miss the old nameplates but I meant the old targetplates I'll level alts to level 50. Then to level 60 from the 15th of November when Chromie Time gets boosted to level 60 content. During the recording I talked about Dragonflight launch because I didn't remember the 15th of november while I was recording Bleach 1000 Year War adaption lasts 52 weeks with ZERO filler. It will be so fun to watch and add to my recurring anime watch list of classic favorites With Blizzard games you have to play smart if you don’t have time to spare. NOT playing WoW is the best way for me to play right now. The longest break I have ever taken gave me the opportunity to focus on other fun stuff in life and come back when I could skip most of the Shadowlands systems entirely. I’m a master at adaptation + avoiding timesinks while maximizing my fun. The reason why I mention this concept nonstop year after year? Because it is the main reason I can play and have fun in WoW and has been they way that I have played since I finally got Earthwarden to drop on my Bear Druid alt after burning out on PvE content in TBC. I mained Hunter and played Mage as an alt as well. Of course! Gold making was ALWAYS a very high priority from the very beginning since my friend, Thefortunate, told me that gold was so hard to make.
