    hazel there is just something about your videos that is so comfy!! everytime I tune in i feel so safe AND well informed on wow news lol.
  • @Yamigata
    I have been suggesting this sort of drop-chance gradual increase for years and years. This should be applied across the board for all the coveted items such as mounts, pets, rare transmogs, etc. Each time the item does not drop, the next attempt after reset will be a small tiny bit greater, and keep increasing until the item drops for you. No one should have to spend years and hundreds of attempts on an item in a video game.
  • @PatrickBrophy
    Holiday mounts and such were never prestigious. I just hope now with this change I can get the Love Rocket after 16 years or however long it was first implemented.
  • @Jeff1960G
    As always, another great video. A bit off-topic but.....can anyone explain to me why a drop rate on a level 35 item is so rare? I am speaking of the Dustbringer from Northrend. I sadly have been fishing for over a month with well over 16,000 casts and nothing. Yes, I fished up several Dark Herrings, but not one Dustbringer. I want to give up but now it is personal, Lol
  • I had some unopened caches when they did the first buff and those were indeed buffed when I opened them.
  • Oooh. That's what they meant in the bad luck protection. That makes more sense than what I thought, which was that the more alts you ran, the more of a boost you got. Thanks for the clarification.
  • @kaybee2801
    Thanks for another useful collection of tips and updates, Hazel. I can't wait for TWW pre-expansion event, those purple recolours of the Arugus world sets look good!
  • FYI if you buy on an alt something you already purchased and learned, the game will allow you to buy it but not to learn it. then you can vendor it back and get reimbursed. I learned that after purchasing something by mistake a 2nd time.
  • @JustinvanHal
    Unfortunately i'd been ignoring the holiday collections for a while so needed to collect 2500 flowers.... u get around 1200 per character if you clear all locations / cities and kills.
  • @cloverkill
    Thanks for answering my question! I ended up going ham this week and just bought everything anyways haha
  • @teej143
    I was pleasantly surprised to see the dragon skin drop for me today (2nd day, 2nd attempt). The golden fire armor is perfect with my newly 70 blood elf fire mage who also just received his matching heritage armor set :) FIRE NATION!!!!
  • @kensg
    Hello...and thanks as always for great updates.
  • @Cayliable
    Question: With Warbands and most things going account-wide in The War Within, will horde characters finally be able to use the BfA bee mount? (similar to how alliance characters can use all the horde-exclusive mounts)
  • I never understood why the self highlight only worked during raids. I'm glad to see them always allowing it to be enabled.
  • @edaumaysol
    yay i've been wanting that self highlight for a long time now. really excited for that as someone that has put a lot of time into making the game more accessible and having to use addons (different font styles, larger font, UI scale, etc). For people with a hard time w/ vision, concentration, or dizziness, having those options are really awesome. Hopefully they add some of the other things eventually too.
  • @toxidoti
    The once-per-day for the dungeon drop does feel like it will make people maybe less resentful of low drop rates... but I have a feeling it might make the queues a lot longer. Always appreciate hearing about the changes! My goal this year really is the pet drop, I don't feel very strongly about the manuscripts. But they always seems to add new stuff to keep us engaged!
  • @LightBrand
    Really dig the part where Hazel corrects the grammar of the announcement, like what my English teacher did to me a decade ago. Like Bob talked to John saying he was upset. Who's the "he" referring to? Lose 1 mark.
  • I love how she said: do the thing in WoW, and then go take a nap :D, that is literary what I do all the time.
