I TOOK A FRESH CHARACTER from ZERO TO HERO! | Project Ascension S8 | Classless WoW | Raiding, M+

Mcdoubles back again with a brand new video and today I'm going to hop back on Project Ascension and bring a brand new character from the status of ZERO to the renewed status of HERO in only a couple days.
I start with a Blood and Guts build and level up to 60 and then use that build to farm heroics and M+ until I get enough gear to hop into a BWL and then a Naxx pug. Ultimately, I decide that I really don't enjoy Blood and Guts that much and so I decide to take some of my crazy loot drops and prestige my character, and in this video you get to see the entire journey.

Grateful for the videos man. Truly appreciate you.

I absolutely love these long form videos. I'm glad you're doing what you enjoy

[@Mcdoubles]

Love you man, really appreciate you

[@devinconnell3927]

Glad to see you back, You are the whole reason I started playing ascension. much love bro!

[@confreeknor1]

we needed you back. Also the caches callboard caches scale with item lvl to a certain degree so keeping them if u can is probably worth. -You can also get tier 1-2,5 in prestigious cashes. - Devonna

[@outsider462]

Nice to see you play out the “can a player catch up” scenario out. Naxx reminds me of last season (league I think) blasting as Fire watch with you in naxx. Looking forward to a fresh league and updates.

[@slashroar]

25:45 YOOOOOOOOOOO They made combo points work like on retail? That's legit THE BEST update they've never done wtf, i'm gonna make a combo point spec right now

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

Yea I don't know when exactly they did it, but I've been playing a whole 3 weeks and it's been that way since I started.

Glad to see ya back, i myself went on a break as well but will now return to the game~ - Ashiera

[@thephlegmmaster78]

I like that you did TM build as I wanted to try it for long time. I started playing few months back when Dark Ranger was a thing (not sure how it stands now), driven by your video and showcase how it works and I liked it. Now I really want to do TM build finally (next to one caster build I really want to try to develop myself - if I ever get all the cards I need). Mcdgw

[@SHURKA_NV]

Bro, thank you for the work you've done

[@darkphase7799]

Happy to see you back on Ascension. I think I will be back in it soon. Quit Wotlk about 2 months ago, quit dragonflight before first raid lol. Honestly just been on Summoners war chronicles despite it being so basic.

[@urwastedtime]

Nice to see you back on server! - your big fan Calcium

[@spiritvisionitc2474]

I just did the key quests for darkmaster yesterday. It was a pain and I haven't even tried the build yet. Going to wait for your video on it first!

[@gregrussell1787]

Missed this! You make good videos for sure, but honestly just don't care about the other servers. I haven't played Ascension in a minute. Watching you just gets me excited to jump back into it.

[@jacobr3228]

Happy to see you back man, these dreams you're having sound like you're carrying a lot of stress with you and the innate worry for those you care about. Failing classes, bad past memories and heath problems with loved ones. It's boiling over; if you want to stop seeing things like that in your dreams I'd suggest reaching out and reconciling with family (if the option is there), apologizing for the past, and connecting with loved ones (especially the older ones). As for classes and things like that just look at your GPA, or individual scores for classes. Remind yourself that you haven't failed, or reinforce that you won't fail by studying and applying yourself more. That being said these are common 'dream responses', I'm guilty of having them myself, in almost the exact same situations you described. It's normal to have them because it's normal to have stress. The more you can alleviate it, the less you will see it, but it may occasionally crop up again. Best of luck with future vids, moderately excited to see how league 4 plays out, and definitely hype to see vids from you from that.

[@Nick-jz9yz]

Or an easier solution is to smoke a bunch of weed before bed lol. Works really well. I never dream unless I take a break

[@jasonsaez3668]

So happy to see Ascension thinking progressive!!! Thanks McDoubles!!!

Mcdoubles, I was the bear tank on saph in the naxx 10 run:D keep up the good work man!

The Reckful situation was overall deeply sad he was a man who had many demons but he wasnt afraid to show others because he cared so much about his friend/viewers and didnt want them to feel alone but he felt completely isolated. Rip Byron

[@Mcdoubles]

I see a lot of myself in Reckful and I think that's part of why I really felt a connection.

[@antoineg3362]

Thanks to all your videos I started PA last weekend I'm enjoying but can't build a proper melee build so I'll try follow this build My mage character seems to work better with this ranged meta

[@PaulSman123]

I remember playing ascension when it was first released. I even tested TBC for a while before it was released. The server has changed so much but glad to see people still having fun with the server and all the new changes even if its not for me anymore.

Love to See Sone ascension content again ❤. But i gotta say that I think the time it took you to get 7/8 t3 was INSANELY Quick. So i wouldnt call representative of how gearing +70 ilvl is. Still good Video! - Fluffyboi

[@shadowzz1270]

I played ascension really long time ago when half of the stuff was not even there like theese legendary abilities or something it's pretty cool , back then it was just same vanilla but you can build your own character from the spellbook with every classes ability

Nice to see some good changes to ascension, but can’t wait to see that league vid

It will be nice to play again in a new season. Hopefully there's some new and interesting Res to mess with too. Looking forward to seeing the MCD ascension videos coming soon 😁✌️ ign Luffy

[@azizella782]

Ty for video ☺️

[@KevinKanthur]

With Reckful's death I cried a lot and I went to hug my mom. It was difficult to me to explain to her I was crying because of a streamer dying. It felt to me like a friend dying, too. Obviosuly it's not the same, but it was sad to see someone so smart and entertaining die so young due to mental health stuff. IGN: Kanthur (horde) I hope I win the thingy. I really enjoyed the video, I hope you're well.

[@VegetaHimself]

Played a Blood and guts build myself. Its only viable when you proc execute AFTER disembowel but putting points into execute talents and having mythics like sudden death and deadly combo will improve the proc rates significantly.

[@turionb1408]

awesome thanks

[@drekhatasecas424]

i would love to see something like old lineage2 private servers subclass system for future leagues: u lvl up ur class, did some max lvl quests, pick a new class and pum, u are lvl 1 again, keep the old class talents and spells, but now u are making up to max again using a new tree, new spells and all that to make ur personal hero, i thought i was cap at base class + 3 . maybe the devs can do, like idk base + 2 so it doesn't go so crazy, and make talens tree for old class unchangeable, until prestige or something. that would make u lvl up keeping in mind the talents ur chosing are for the final product, that could make the journey a little bit more longer, personal and fun. love ur videos my dude :)

[@JediFrog]

I have a feeling part of why you're excited for League 4 is because you know about a good chunk of the stuff, or at least some of the exciting stuff, that's happening in League 4.

[@Mcdoubles]

I know probably 20%, or that's my assumption. But Dutch and Ascension are so good at hyping things (obviously a good and a bad thing if they fall short), that I could be wrong and I actually know 50%. You're right though, but I'm also excited because I love Ascension WoW and desperately want it to be good again. The happiest private server gaming moments of my life happened on Ascension WoW

[@JediFrog]

@@Mcdoubles I understand that, I love Ascension too, and I know you've spent a whole lot more time playing the game, having played since at least Season 3, meanwhile I started at the beginning of Season 6. I feel more skeptical just because I'm heavily invested in creating my own uniqe ideas and just with the game had more of a "These are the tools" mindset to RE desgin instead of "These are the playstyles."

How much time do we have left in this season? I just got back into ascension and all my store bought items are on area 52, if I buy items for thralls season, will that transfer over to thralls next season?

[@SonnyR4K]

You just get all the offhand weapon dmg % talents and your titanic mutilate will pump, storm strike and whirlwind scales well with offhand damage talents too

Now you can finally make new worldforged builds for us. We don't know what's good or not.

[@obsidiannewt9103]

Is Titanic Muti good for the free pick server, or does it fall behind at 70? Also, great content.

[@Mcdoubles]

I've heard its fallen behind recently, but its definitely still good and viable. You just probably want something different for +45-50's and Ascended Raids if I had to guess.

[@TareanSmiley]

Mcdoubles has a masters degree? In what? What got you into streaming?

[@1337l4m3]

He studied History and can even teach it when I remember correctly.

[@Tidariis]

Do you have a build for this Blood and Guts? Couldn't find it on your discord :)

[@mleslie4883]

I'm confused. I've been playing on Area 52 and on the WotLK test realm. Which one is max level 60/vanilla?

[@Sara.Space.H]

xD? Edit sorry I left the xd as a comment before leaving irl. I think the dream is worry in the back of your mind about those events, maybe they're unsolved in some way or just general worry about the future. But please take that with a huge pinch of salt as I have no psych background and just guessing.

[@Faftdis]

Project Ascension looks pretty cool,is it worth joining now if Ive never played on the server before?

[@Mcdoubles]

I'd start during League 4, maybe dabble in it before then and just get used to everything. League 4 is on May 26th

[@Faftdis]

[@peepogob]

bro i was in a guild with you on bigglesworth and you ninjad gear in mc and left the guild you were playing and enc shaman i know you remember that

[@Mcdoubles]

I don't remember that specifically, but I also don't ninja gear. I think I faintly remember being given a tier helmet in like Onyxia or something, and then I quit playing with that guild, but that's not ninja'ing and it's not like I would have went into it with that in mind. I think peoples perceptions of events on these games is sometimes really crazy and "too into it" and people forget that most people just play the game with no maliciousness or ill-intentions. So in other words, you're applying too much malice to it and not thinking about the idea that your perception of what happened might not actually be what actually happened. Hope that makes sense, since I don't want you to think ill of me when I didn't do anything wrong.

[@Dadbod2019]

In a real note do you prefer the mcdouble or the double cheeseburger? (Yes there is a difference haha)

[@Mcdoubles]

Honestly right now I think I sadly prefer the double cheeseburger. But when I decided to name myself Mcdoubles the mcdouble was extremely cheap AND really good. Times change :(

[@The0neGreatest]

After playing hundreds of hours on Area 52 playing Free pick.. I truly don't understand the point of Thrall. Like don't get me wrong, I think the gameplay of every single person spamming arcane blast to completely ignore leveling in WORLD of Warcraft. I really don't want that kind of player to be in my servers, but dropping the population of Area 52 just doesn't make sense to me. What in the everliving hell is the point of the random spell cards? The goal of EVERY single player is to do you best to optimize your cards, and induce an exact build.. WHY EVEN DEAL WITH THE RANDOMIZATION THEN?!? But surely there has to be a reason I just cannot see. I just wish every player would move to Area 52.

[@Mcdoubles]

I think the problem with Area-52 is that classless WoW is a mess when its taken seriously and so when everyone can do whatever they want, that leads to some god awful PvP and some REALLY bad stratification between builds in general. Some people take the opportunity to play this game like its PoE and go hard with the theorycrafting, while most WoW players seem to fall behind since they just want to play a class and master that class, which is often far simpler of a process. The random seasonal realms still have A HINT of "this is just for fun and isn't that deep" where most players don't often have the best stuff. Before you say it, I know that there are still guys that no life it and end up with basically free-pick builds anyway and that it defeats the entire point, but it's still a big minority compared to most players, and that maintains an element of fun in the classless format. A lot of it is also mental, when there's only 9 classes and 3 specs on each, there are only so many talent specs people can realistically create and its nearly impossible for someone to make something that nobody else has figured out due to how narrow it is. This means the concept of copying a spec for your class just feels minor in comparison to how copying builds feel like on Ascension, where it truly feels like you're just playing some other guys class. I think that turns people off a lot more.

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

@@Mcdoubles I think you hit the nail on the head, but I think there is one more reason. Since Area52 never resets you gear your character and get to cap and just....sit there. Even if you choose to prestige or re roll your character you won't get that "fresh server" experience. Everything just stagnates at end game, even more than it does on Thrall. Seasons give everyone a fresh start and to a lot of people that's enjoyable.

[@tobak9536]

[@Mcdoubles]

XD me one more time and see what happens

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

if you didn't use Aura+Potion all the damn time you wouldn't have to complain about the leveling being too fast. Most people don't use them (tho sometimes we do encounter stupid rich ppl offering us free aura in BG or dungeon). Just the sweatlords obsessed with effective use of time.

[@jinn_val]

90% of the server does aura splits because it's just better, it's not fun leveling for the 50th time without an aura + pot, plus they're quite cheap

[@seankorby7752]

This game was prime when people were actually out in high risk and playing the game it was supposed to be played. Now the game is just a PVE fest filled with the same raids and dungeons over and over again. If they miss with league 4 its doomed

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

It's because people tend to not like forced PvP. Being ganged up on by groups of people when you're solo sucks.

[@sommerblume9671]

@@Mad-Lad-Chad do you see groups a lot?

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

@@sommerblume9671 I don't play high risk. The fact that some group of 3 friends could rock up and just farm me costing me my gear, means I won't touch it ever. Despite being someone who tends to love PvP.
