Tali using his theater skills to full effect. I genuinely didnt realize how's good he is in front of a live audience.

[@catsandcrafts171]

I've watched him playing D&D on one occasion... trust me, the ham is real and I'm so here for it! :D

Give him his own legit talk show like Last Week Tonight and id watch him there too lol

[@nickfarace9339]

@@fraser7211 Right? Tali feels like a completely professional talk show host, its insane.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

what's surprising is how is how good Evitel is at this

[@Special_Tactics_Force_Unit]

He's extremely charismatic and alluring. I wish he was my friend 😭

[@BellularGaming]

Was a pleasure!

[@poptya]

So.....did you eat his shit and hair?

[@iambedlam]

When people realize it’s not a laugh track but this was actually filmed live.

[@aarononeil9832]

Took me a minute, was so much funnier when I clocked that

It is remarkable how natural we sounded on video. 😁

I like these two but this episode was cringe af

[@acidix983]

The fact that this basically looks/feels like a Weekly Reset with different microphones is wildly impressive.

[@lordcorgi6481]

You could feel the very moment that Tali's heart shattered into a million pieces 🤣

[@Bleuchz]

You mentioned on twitter that there were issues with the recording so ABSOLUTELY stellar job w/ the editing. Whatever you did was magic, could barely tell there were any issues at all!

[@KirkpatrickSounds]

You're both treasures to the WoW community

[@LizzieHernandez]

the best treasures

[@northwindx79]

I dont think Avaloren is wrong, they said tat there will be some elf stuff going on on the second expansion, i think avaloren will be in the 2nd expansion.

[@JavierSegura]

@@northwindx79 It's wrong, those images were using re-used assets. We know Blizzard re-uses a lot of things, but zone assets from expansion to expansion.

[@northwindx79]

im not talking about pictures, i was talking about avaloren name. we need to wait for next blizzcon to verify avaloren, i think it will be on the 2nd expansion on this saga thing@@JavierSegura

[@askey316]

Fantastic experience to meet you both at Blizzcon. To be a part of the live audience for the weekly reset was unreal. Thank you both ❤❤

[@fabianku8215]

Was the intro skit also live?

[@askey316]

Yes@@fabianku8215

[@chrisl3270]

The fact you guys came up with this in such a short amount of time, with the gags and other bits is just awesome. Great job as always. Loved it ❤

[@Aspectt10]

This was hands down the best intro to a weekly reset ever 😂

[@DeanoDestroyer1]

The weekly reset live was a joy to be a part of, thankyou both. Meeting you at Blizzcon and after the reset was also incredible and made the best weekend, even better! 💕

[@Collected1]

Evitel nailed it on the early access. I fear it's already too late but I hope there is a reversal on that.

[@TPPMac1]

Missing out on the crowded zones, general chat full of silly memes and the boats not working is something Im really going to miss and no I'm not being sarcastic.

[@SoulravenIX]

This has become one of those rare occasions where i have had to take a look at what has been revealed, what have been said and ask myself if it is worth it? I don't think so, so for the first time since vanilla i will grab the cheapest option. A mount, a transmog and 3 days of early access is not worth 40 dollars on top of an expansion that might potentially be smaller than previous expansions. I hope that more people feel this way and realize that you don't need any of that extra nonsense at a premium to enjoy the expansion and opt for the cheapest version, so that it sends a message to the accountants that "oh yeah we went too far this time, let's not do this for the next one.".

[@Trevan2412]

They literally can't legally lesser the value of something players already bought

[@claudialock3734]

I don't get hating on blizzard for this but then buying it. It's pretty hipercritical.

[@catrinastars]

@@SoulravenIX lol I hope it's not smaller than the previous ones and I don't care about early access. But the mount is very worth it. Not only did it come with it's own race courses, but it has it's own unique ability too, it replaces the wasteful twirl. (pity we can only use it for those courses though 😅but in open world it's the best)

[@here_bedragons]

Holy shit that opening was goddamned amazing. Even with the audio issues it was a ton of fun! Makes me wish I could have been there!!

[@zepzour7391]

good on them for having the courage to do essentially a full stand up routine, they killed it, well done!

[@UtilityGuy]

Live audience equals AMAZING - wish you could do this all the time. Both of you such talent ✌🏻😎

[@TPPMac1]

This was really fun! You two thrived on the live audience. Well done!\

[@piffling2238]

The reason Delves got me excited is being, unlike previous endgame PvE content like Islands and Torghast, they aren't being designed so heavily baked intro the DNA of an expansion. These are intended to be evergreen through WoW going forward. Whether the iteration of Delves we get are a success or not the very fact they are working to expand world content and add progression paths for the casual player base gives me hope for the game's future.

[@ChinnuWoW]

I’m wishing for something more like Horrific Visions.

[@thefrisianviking28]

I actually kinda hope they implement it if Azeroth gets a revamp. So you could do delves from a very low level instead of always doing the same dungeons over and over again.

[@r3v3rbs0ul]

agreed. often when life gets busy i have to drop my raid group or sit out on a raid tier and stop m+. i end up not logging in, because i prefer content with a bit of a challenge. to really want to log in when i'm busy, i need to be able to log in and just go do something. hopefully delves can hit the mark. other attempts in the past just didn't do that for me. torghast was especially rough since i love roguelite games. not only did it not feel like a roguelite once you got inside, you also had to farm currency to even get in (later patched out). instead of a quick die and try again, like you see in all roguelites, now you had to spend time farming to get another shot.

[@imAndrewRussell]

10/10 update! You both rocked the live format

[@Rook986]

They are both so good at stage presence, this was great

[@r3v3rbs0ul]

both are theater nerds if i'm remembering correctly. entirely agree though, for taking a produced show and sending it on a live stage, stellar work!

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

Tali did such a great job but i think people underestimated how well Evi did! she was fantastic! loved this ty

[@xxcatfishjohnnyxx]

So bummed I had to fly out Sunday AM and miss this. The live Weekly Reset in 2019 was by no small margin the best part of Blizzcon for me that year.

[@emilemm7832]

The difference with FFXIV Endwalker's early access was that it came with ANY version as long as you pre-ordered it. Not as part of a premium/deluxe package.

[@buddyjarjoura5166]

This was so much fun to attend and watch live. You guys are treasures 🎉😂❤

[@Sk_Et]

Not only was this fantastic to be apart of, but that intro skit was one take. One. No one delivers like T&E, from consistency to quality it's just top marks. Looking forward to the next one!!

[@KibblesDoesStuff]

I love all the "beef" I read in comments about T&E and Bellular, only to see them both at blizzcon together having a grand time

[@TapTwoCounterspell]

I haven't seen a single comment like that which you described and Ive been scrolling a ton. What are you referring to?

[@VincentChase905]

@@TapTwoCounterspell its been a running thing in the comment sections for years

[@magnuskno]

T&E have been making fun of Bellular's release schedule of videos for many years. As far as I know, it's just good-natured ribbing, contrary to Tali's open deep seated loathing of Heelsvsbabyface (which is completely justified as well).

[@Astranea]

Glad you used the live footage despite of the sound issues. You’re both awesome!

[@bradyf1583]

You both are such lovely people. It was a blast to meet you after the live show :D

[@RyanSPK]

Live Weekly Resets should be a reoccurring thing ❤️ Maybe twice a year? One in the US around Blizzcon and another in the UK around say May? The live audience is such a treat! Just need to work on audio issues in the future 😄

[@Ma55ey]

I vote to have the weekly reset filmed in front of a live audience permanently.... great show guys..

[@corgiw7281]

Maybe 1 to 4 times a year? Quarterly would keep them in good practice.

[@azzarash]

I will never stop telling how much I love you! I will do my best to join you on weekly reset live next time ❤🎉

TBF, Chris didn't say there *wouldn't* be underground pirates.

[@AcktongueBaby]

Thanks!

I’ve been waiting with bated breath for this to come out, and you guys didn’t disappoint. Awesome weekly reset ❤

Still love that you wrote the opening in one night and delivered it so well. Nobody does it like you T&E.

Absolutely loved seeing y’all do this live! Amazing!!!!

[@Rolaz]

The intro was sooo amazing, I F5 YT everyday and now i can rest and watch weekly reset.

[@jsczesny8939]

you can tell Tali really loves doing live shows :)

[@ScottKent]

Delves could bring me back to the game if they really are something to do solo and without getting left behind if I take any time away. I like to take vacations, but I can't raid and do that...

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

14:19 Considering the Earthen had always been neutral and all the flesh dwarves sided with the Alliance, this was pretty much the only way Horde was getting dwarves.

[@Braincleaner]

the man is a literal stage actor and only his wife knows not to throw a cool pirate scarf over their mic ;)

Evitel has become soooo good in front of a camera compared to when you guys were just starting out. So confident.

3 expansions and none of them with pirates, what a blow

This episode gives me big Joel McHale & 'The Soup' energy and I AM HERE FOR IT. Wish y'all could do this more often.

[@brewsome3500]

The Blizzcon experience was a huge L (we left after opening ceremony and never returned), but still excited about the WoW announcements. Wish we could have made this recording, looks like a ton of fun was had!

[@wesesheskhnemtuhit]

Please let me breath between the jokes. What a show, love it.

[@martincoburn6522]

I just want to say you guys absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! It really felt like I was watching the daily show but all about WoW! Spot on, great job and I hope you guys continue this style!

[@poptya]

Man, Tali is a GREAT live presenter. He should present future blizzcons

[@InternetPwnDept]

This was the best presentation I've seen from T&E in many years. Going back to your roots and making a fun and enjoyable video was a really good decision.

[@JeffersonSMachado]

I would pay to watch this live show with the laughs !!! Just love it Its amazing how our community has such amazing content creators

[@psychotimo]

gotta love how Tali seems like he's bumbling like an idiot cause of the excitement that's visibly oozing from him throughout this whole vid xP he's like a kid that just got told that there's a puppy just playing and waiting for him in the backyard xP and then Evi comes in and gives the exact same vibe :p

[@cheycyanide5802]

I have a feeling that Azeroth is going to wake up and part of the main plot is going to be us helping her get ready for her birth

[@Lockecole81]

It's even cooler learning that Quel'thalas and Northrend are not revamps, they're entire remakes of the zones at a larger scale. I'm stoked for it.

[@MegaChickenfish]

We've already got 3 dark elves. I for one kept thinking it was dwarf-elves, which would have been the *real* perfect allied race.

[@johnnies.verton4432]

So...I like how the last titan logo looks exactly like the primal incarnates prisons

[@istvanfabian881]

grinning ear to ear for this whole video, thank you Taliesin & Evitel =D

[@soularpowergaming]

This single video is better than the entirety of BlizzCon 2023, Nice!

[@snowballandpals]

Well giving Blizzard's track recording of delivering Overwatch PvE mode, I anticipate that expansions 2 & 3 will be completely different than what they presented.

[@TheEbonyEngineer]

This made me more excited for the future of Warcraft than the event itself.

[@verYCreepyDoll]

Dractyr’s soar being full on dragonriding now just reignited my hope for having a valkyr/kyrian playable race, especially once the void vs light war really gets going

[@metzli5797]

I was so happy Ian got to give good news for once.

[@timothydawson2689]

Awesome presentation, I was entertained and learned a few things. Tali your wife is your better half. Great job both of you.

[@lanomar5]

The bellular shade is astonishing right to his face, they must actually be good buds

[@DasDevilSquid]

I like the title of War Within because it also implies Anduin's struggle with himself, and Alleria Windrunner dealing with the Shadow voices inside her.

[@Juliebean0405]

I don't know if it's mentioned already, cuz lots of comments, but the "crystal thingie" in the ceiling is the tip of Sargeras' sword. We are underground in that zone.

[@grumpydinosaur2347]

Evitel looks so gorgeous ❤

[@meh23p]

It would be kinda cool if they gradually revamped old zones as they went along through the 3 expansions. And then once they’re wrapped up and a new story can be begin, they start ahead on the full world revamp. Of course that would preclude enlarging the old zones for Dynamic Flying.

[@goblinounours]

I mean, for once, I gotta admit, Tali was right, because I for one was completely fooled by the 'Avaloren' leak. So was Bellular. It was everything you could realistically expect Blizzard to do.

[@zom8680]

Maybe the real pirates were the friends we made along the way

[@Phatsnake]

How did they come up with the jokes so fast?! I’m impressed! Great episode wish I was there

[@rijns131]

I believe Chris Metzen is thr right person to save World of Warcraft. He has done a great job so far. The new content looks amazing.

[@tijkevanderlee4347]

I missed these intro's sooooooo much!

[@jasoncrowell8863]

If I'd been writing the script, the response to Tali's "What about romance options" would have been "You have only ONE romance "option", Tali"

[@artcanbelove7873]

I called it! I knew Anduin would come back with facial hair. 😄

[@Thomason1984]

I am curious on how the storytelling will go for the Worldsoul Saga and Beyond, Anduin in the cinematic looks a little bit like the Actor Stephen Amell. Great video as always Guys :-)

[@TenzinBeifongIII]

The biggest thing they could possibly do for the longevity of WoW is making Delves procedurally generated. It would be hard with the framework they have now, but if they were able to make it different every time, even by just a bit it would be awesome. Having a rougelite inside WoW would be amazing.

[@paulleimbach3198]

Wow that intro skit took a while to get going but damn it was worth it. Excellent! Laughed out loud

[@RespekfulFungus]

I would really dig you guys somehow doing live more often. This was fantastic!

An NAU bag! I go there! But seriously, it's really cool seeing Tali's love for theatre come through. Fiance and I will definitely try to be there next time!

[@aaronjohnson2215]

You guys deserve more views, you are so hilarious!

[@eryian]

Xal'atath is the queen of darkness, and I love her! I want her to be constantly laughing at us and making fun of us for 3 expansions!

[@thomasjones4570]

Who could ever think continuing the dwindling in quality storyline that drove a massive amount of players away for 3 more expansions could ever be a good thing? Blizzard and the few diehards remaining is who. Blizzard themselves hate their own story so much they dont even want new players to experience it. Always a GREAT choice for an RPG and im sure has nothing to do with the horrible new player retention rate that is notoriously low for the genre. Blizzard is killing their game with every expansion and is too fucking BLIND to realize why its happening.

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

8:11 Well we know for certain that Silvermoon and Northrend are getting updates. No idea yet what that will mean though. Personally I'm hoping it means Forstborn dwarves finally join the Council of _Four_ Hammers with blue skin options for playable Ironforge dwarves like how Wildhammer dwarves got regulated to customization for playable Ironforge dwarves because there's no chance of getting two dwarf allied races in the same set of expansions. ...Right?

[@corgiw7281]

Oi. Taunka!

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

@@corgiw7281 They'd probably be a horde allied race reskined from the Tauren considering they look more like bison than cows.
