the world of warcraft podcast so you don't have to this is the instance so
Well, well, well. What a difference a month makes, people. Oh my gosh. I know, right? It's the instance. It's me, Scott Johnson, and Bobby Frankenberger. Bobby, welcome back. It's another month, man. How are you doing?
I'm doing really well. I have filled out my vault.
Mm-hmm.
All three rows and all nine slots, and I'm ready to talk about World of Warcraft.
Okay, good. Mine is almost full. I'm missing two dungeons. Two dungeon runs to fill it out. And then what? Monday's our... That's our next Vault Day, right?
Or no, tomorrow.
Sorry, Tuesday. What am I saying? Today is Monday. We're recording this on a Monday, everybody. And Tuesday, you get your vaults. You know, that's a thing that's relatively new in the game. And I feel like doesn't get enough praise as a fun system. It works differently in Dragonflight, though.
and yeah it was slightly yeah slightly and i thought it was just more complicated and i was less engaged in it um this time at the beginning at the beginning of all the vault stuff it was a little bit more complicated i think it was introduced in the uh in the that that when the troll the zandalari people got introduced what was that that one was called a battle for battle for azeroth that's the one It was introduced there and it was a chest then. They didn't call it a vault. I can't even remember what they called it. It might have just been the mythic chest or something like that. And it was really just meant for high-end players. And it was a little bit complicated because they were tweaking it constantly and they finally found a version that worked really well.
It made a couple of slight adjustments during Shadowlands. And then by Dragonflight, they really settled on a really good solid format where if you're listening and you don't know what the vault is, it's basically, it's kind of like, you know everybody used to talk about bad luck protection.
Yeah.
um, in the roles when you would go into raids and everybody was like, they need to fix all this stuff and have bad luck protection where if you go so many boss kills or so many dungeon runs without getting any gear, there's somehow some value in the code changes to where you're more likely to get something on subsequent runs. And they did mess with things like that, but this, the vault really kind of is an, it was a different approach to bad luck protection. It made it. So the more stuff you every week, you will get something. As long as you're playing the game in certain ways, you will get something. And that was the big change this time was they made it so much easier to fill out your vault because they said, screw you PvP players. Yeah. We're going to give we're going to give casual people, which is which really was a good decision. I think we're going to give casual players an easier way to fill out.
Yeah, I also think it's less even if you consider yourself a casual player. It's still it still means, you know, you've got to play the game. And you've got to play various systems in the game. And of course, Delves are now part of it. So that automatically makes it easier if you're running Delves as a solo player to have your vault filled out. But I think I just like the motif of there's a building. And in there, we've got banking dudes. We've got giant guild vaults. And then on this far wall, there's this huge dwarven forged gigantic freaking bank vault looking thing.
So have you ever interacted with the vault at all? Like, have you ever gone and looked for it and anything? I mean, I know you've probably clicked on it before, but have you ever been excited about it and wanted to jump in and get it?
In this case, yes. In this expansion, yes. Less so in Dragonflight, but part of that was... I mean, I think you mentioned it, but Dragonflight, didn't they require some PvP content or you had to play some PvP to get in?
If you wanted all the slots, you had to do PvP because the bottom row was all PvP stuff. So I never had the bottom row filled out because I don't PvP.
