just make the day night cycle an offset cycle like 5 hour cycle, so it shifts daily.
SHOEBEK!!!!!!! BANKAI!!!!!! LOVE YOU MAN ❤
Yep, name reservation showed us exactly what launch is going to be… don't bother logging in on Nov 4.
Always love getting a peek behind the scenes.
SHOBEK!!!! NO WAYYYYY !!!! LFGGGGGG!!!!!
I'm hoping these podcast carry on forever. It's nice to understand why stuff is done, changes are made or anything else that needs to be addressed.
she cant stop saying like
Like tell us your player counts and peaks and off peaks.. dont be shy we know it's big but HOW BIG
These could keep going for a year and I’d keep listening to the team talk about WoWF
Don’t shorten the day/night cycle it would break immersion
Love this series!
Unblock horde tunnel jump plz its the most fun jump :/
These have been so lovely. Excited to get into this one.
💖SHOBEK💖
57:27 forever say never

Last pod before launch LEEEEEETS GO
Layering zepplin comment
45:04 The Olympus guild was the spike haha … surprised they never mention asmongold and his influence.

I think day night is obvious.. just like the language preference, let them set an offset (with a cooldown so people cant constantly change it). So that OCE can set offset of however many hours for their game.
Thanks for nothing. Names were already taken!
I think Tyler needs a raise
Please do whatever you can to make launch smooth. Name res was a mess, initial layering was a mess. If launch is smooth, then I will start praising the tech people.
Horrible dev team. releasing garbage
Another good podcast 👍 thanks 🤝
Please give us OCE players our own day/night cycle – I'd rather a little jar when hopping over to the NA infrastructure when it happens (probably not that much) than be perpetually stuck playing in the dark.
I really hope that one day everyone will be on the same rule set, UE , US and Asia. Everyone together like in the beta. Just like in other games like HoTs or any games actually like FPS, etc. There is a little lag but not too much
The Forever team seems especially solid, they feel sincerely invested in the project and how it turns out. Appreciate yall continuing to put out these episodes to address concerns and take feedback directly from the community in an open forum setting
We in NA dont want to play with anyone ither then NA….
Revert dungeon XP nerf. Let tanks/healers play their preferred style.
Sounds Good but it was a mess during Beta & Naming… Get it together for Launch!
However many people you think there will be.. there will be More on Launch!!
20 hour day night cycles would be great. I generally play afterwork and its always sunset/night. It would be nice to be able to see the zones in all their different lightings.

Having some Aussie friends that I could get off a crummy shard where they're getting ganked, or get me off one that I'm getting ganked sounds like a great way to make friends tbh. Whether it's day or night is sorta irrelevant to me, I get it for an RP server, game breaking in that instance.
Please keep podcast gping!
For some reason when streamers are brought on this show they kind of have the vibes of bringing your kid to work. You know, all bedazzled and confused but happy to be there. This guest had a great voice and created some interesting conversation, kudos to him.
an idea here… 1v1 arena is something allot of us wants,i bet is on that white board
I don't want the PvP sweats in my game. I play for the world. Keep PvE and PvP separate.
So many like's
🙌🏽I’m here for Ana! 🙌🏽
forever wow forever podcast forever keep doing it
make day night cycles a 12 hour event instead of 24 hours. everyone gets to experience the game in all hours
