Honestly for me they didn’t even need to do this, lol. They could’ve just cooked with 11.1 and I would’ve been fine riding the anniversary + plunderstorm. I still have stuff from previous exp to catch up on and it feels nice to have some lazy weeks where I’m not grinding new content.
Seems more logical that it is referencing the witch queen who turns the soldiers into pigs in the Odyssey? Seeing as how the zone is called Siren's Isle
i saw that there are a number of different ways to travel about the island, including underwater breathing and speed, as well as limited geography (i'm told the island was originally supposed to be a BfA expedition island). that's all good but begs the question: if we're being given an array of travel methods in order to speed up our travels, why not just give flying from the outset? the timegated flying doesn't make sense to me.
Thunder, sea, and wind? Nah, those colors are Earth, Wind, and Fire! Reak talk; I'm kind of tired of WoW's "island" patches where we magically forget how to fly again (merely as a time gate mechanic), and our BIG carrot is a socketable item with three slots for random gems that have random powers. I'm expecting this to be just like Mechagon island, and again I'll still be trying to get the random drop chance mounts 3 or 4 expansions from now, racing to tag it before some donut hole burns all their cooldowns to one shot the 6-hour rare spawn.
The item level buff was absolutely necessary to keep the ring attractive in terms of power benefit and gameplay variety. I just hope that they don't nerf it in Season 2.
It's not about the damage! Unless you tank and you fail the eggs. It's about getting that once in a 3 hr luck seed where he doesn't overlap fear with egg, heal and spittle
@@Smiding I was partly joking, I only started the expansion a month ago and spent most of my times doing almost only delves. I only discovered about Zekbir about a week ago and made it my main objective for the moment. So catch up gears and upgrades like this are always welcome for me 😁
I'd rather use a currency to buy them instead of getting the same ones each week. Because those will be good for certain people some weeks over others.
My question is specifically do you need to do the Weekly Ilvl quest each week on each of your alts? Or if you miss a week can you do both the weeks you missed at once, as, as nice as it is to get all the gems unlocked account wide and skip the quest, you still may have to farm the same thing 5-10 times depending on how many alts you have to make sure you 're still caught up on your ilvl
so what's the deal with multi specs? i seem to remember in DF i had to get multiple rings for different specs, is this the same deal? I'm told you can swap gems out without destroying them but that means that when i swap spec i'll have to re-gem the ring every single time. sounds like a real annoyance.
Ok so... Cyrce is also called Circe or Kirke. She was a Greek deity. Daughter of Sun God ( not Nika ) and sea nymph, so Siren motive and wind, sea and thunder gems are around but not precise. If it was sea, sun and wind i would be sold that there is some bigger meaning after it. Question is it just coincidence, simple Easter egg ( reference) or will it have some more meaning in future.
I think you said we can get 3 gems per week, but you also showed 1 gem from a quest after getting the ring, 1 gem from the weekly "fill the bar" quest, and then 2 gems from the excavations. So do we get 3 or 4 gems in the first week? Maybe you're not counting the gem from that first, one-time quest as part of the 3 per week?
Sadly the acquisition of blizzard by Microsoft didn't change the fact that the dev team still loves to regurgitate old content over and over again instead of coming up with new ideas and systems
I'm a solo player. I have zero desire to chase a piece of armor for weeks and weeks to bleed every point out of it. pass. Yes - blizzard trained us who never get into the mythic raids (or any raids for that matter). Blizzard has always excluded solo players. We don't care if some amazing piece (we will never have access to) is out there - because we are used to it! (That and the second a new expansion is out, your gear is worthless). The GOAL of this game should be fun - not squeeze every last point you can out of a piece of armor. Blizzard has put nothing into a lot of things and way too much into things like this and making that the focus. LOOK at that engineering mount - the pummel whatever. They put NOTHING into making that mount desirable. it's the UGLIEST mount in the game. But blizzard knew if you take a turd and make it $3 million - a good number of players will base their ENTIRE game around that one thing. ALL i can say is this island better be FUN and NOT a grind for this lame ring. if it's all about this ring - pass. The events and GAME play has to be fun! I quit wow before - because this was the path they decided to go down and now it appears they are doing that again. first the mount, now the ring... They should put their focus on delves and making raids solo (as they already have) so the events equate to more fun. This ring is a lazy way to draw attention away from the zone. players will hit the ground - and go right into grinding ignoring the content. I would prefer blizzard left this stuff OUT of the updates and not make it central part of their update. I was looking for 11.0.7 content and what's new - this was the dominating topic. that's how Blizzard likes things.
The zone will be dead in 6 weeks like forbidden reach and any other mid patch zones they added ... another ring/necklace/trinket gimmick, another 3 week long zone lag fest till dead...
Seems like another boring weekly grind item, why is this the only strategy they have for upgrading items - how about this, you get higher quality gems as rewards for beating mythic + at higher keys? +15 giving the strongest version of the gem.. Way more fun and gives us a reason to push keys
This is amazing!!! I love stuff like this. Reminds me of heart of Azeroth. Glad it will still be relevant next patch as well!! They need more stuff like this as it makes the game more interesting. I also like that it's weekly gated. Gives me reasons to stay subbed and logged in every week. 🎉🎉🎉
More gear homogenization, this is getting really really boring, there use to be agency with gear, interesting choices, now its all bland, simmed and parsed out. If your not min/maxing then your playing wrong, as if min maxing has a greater effect than player skill, even the devs min/max for us now. They may as well do away with all stats and just list item level, which is the real representation of your characters power. Its just so anti-RPG, anti-Fantasy, anti-Fun, and lazy development which we all eat up. I want to love the game, but this is ever so slowly becoming a phone game, from the flashy slot machine graphics to the homogenization, to trying to cater to casuals saying they can be hardcore too, without the effort. Why do we even need this ring?
This patch would be so much better without the ring. It's so unnecessary and annoying - just system of "random procs and eating half of bag space". Feels like again all world suffer because US Gambling addicts need "exciting random stuff" everywhere.

Patch 11.0.7 overview - th-cam.com/video/JBsXuFMtTS4/w-d-xo.html
It seems Blizzard was really scared people weren't coming back for the ring.
And rightly so.
well yeah it was weaker then current stuff.
I am still not coming back. Why, you ask? Six weeks to get full potential of it it's a scam.
@@WilsoYUN0DI3 I'm still hoping/coping that they will also see the light with regards to Delves and buff them just like they did with M+ and the ring.
@@krystiandabrowski1787 at the moment I'm not going back either. If they buff Delves like they did with M+, I might think about coming back.
I like that the ring got buffed. The island seemed fine, but more fitting for a summer patch. Now, we got something to work towards.
it was meant to be a BFA island expedition that got cut and the threw it in there to stagger the burnout a bit
Honestly for me they didn’t even need to do this, lol. They could’ve just cooked with 11.1 and I would’ve been fine riding the anniversary + plunderstorm. I still have stuff from previous exp to catch up on and it feels nice to have some lazy weeks where I’m not grinding new content.
What a cool idea, this would be fantastic for all gear we have and nice way to also upgrade. I'm over crest farming.
can't wait to wear a circlet, which you call things that go on your head, on my finger!
That Circe chick had a really tiny head.
everytime i hear the ring name i remember Cyrce lannister
Seems more logical that it is referencing the witch queen who turns the soldiers into pigs in the Odyssey? Seeing as how the zone is called Siren's Isle
Think her name is spelled Cercie but I had her in mind too when I heard the name haha
@@fireraid9173 Cersei
Clear, short and informative - thank you!
Thanks Kelani! I’ve seen a few different videos about the new zone and ring but yours is by far the best at explaining everything. Much appreciated!
🎉🎉🎉🎉im going to work on this tonight sounds fun thank you for the buff ring
Player retention must be ass cause the only time blizzard gives up on rng is when players refuse to be gamed
There is way too much rng for sure.
Thanks so much for the info. Most use full... Gonna check back to this video as needed. Can't wait to get my chars their new ring.
Thanks for these man.
So, new bulltoken with time gated fly and ring. So much fun...
Will there be a catch up quest for those going out of town for the holidays?
i saw that there are a number of different ways to travel about the island, including underwater breathing and speed, as well as limited geography (i'm told the island was originally supposed to be a BfA expedition island). that's all good but begs the question: if we're being given an array of travel methods in order to speed up our travels, why not just give flying from the outset? the timegated flying doesn't make sense to me.
Excellent news something to really look forward too.
Do you have to be up to date with the campaign quests to open this questline
wondering the same
considering dawn is part of the campaign quests, probably
Thunder, sea, and wind? Nah, those colors are Earth, Wind, and Fire!

Nothing more amusing than WoW haters who hate watch informational videos like this. lol smh

They said they will . Which is fine . We’ll have it for 8 weeks
@@Thrall966Where did they say that they will nerf the ring?
@ in a bluepost by Kaivax
@@Thrall966 I see, ty! Atleast their initial plan is to only adjust it slightly to make it comparable to S2 658 rings if it would come out giga op
@@Cr4zyL1ght 👍🏻👍🏻
This is a very informative video well laid out. The only issue I have is time gating..why must is be like that everytime there's new content.
because shareholders want to see big numbers on the monthly active users chart
@Leeloo-Foxx no doubt..
Now I'll be able to beat Zekvir with this 😂

Been playing since the start and I still don't know what a key is 😅
this starts today right?
Yes

I'm told you can swap gems out without destroying them but that means that when i swap spec i'll have to re-gem the ring every single time. sounds like a real annoyance.
EGG YOLKS, THIS IS SALAMI
658 is mega
Liberation of Undermine raid: Nah, it's mid
Nice video. Does anyone know what will be the max item level in Season 2?
thanks for covering
It seems like it's going to be like the onyx amulet from dragonflight.
My nagging concern is this ring just become another legendary that end up sitting in your inventory for eternity cause you cant delete it ever.
Ok so... Cyrce is also called Circe or Kirke. She was a Greek deity. Daughter of Sun God ( not Nika ) and sea nymph, so Siren motive and wind, sea and thunder gems are around but not precise.

Salami made a 9 minute video for a 30 second description
And once again flight is taken away from people...blizzard wtf
Blizzard is your buddy, buddies don't let buddies skip leg day
@Slamdoxicalz lol
I would like to see it completely removed from the game except for flight paths.
I like it, though it seems suspiciously easy. I guess Blizz didn't want to get heat for long, complicated questlines and/or rep grinds.
i dont want to go back to forbidden reach
You are not alone sir. This is a really lazy iteration of it.
Tell us you started playing in 10.0.X without saying you started in 10.0.X
Cope? It's the one in most recent memory. @@Nathanyel
I play this game way too much. 🤔
After this what now? We going back to endless M+/Raid??
What were you doing in previous seasons?
I mean. That's WoW for you.
God forbid you have to play the game...
I swear people are restarted.... What the fuck do you want? Nothing is ever good for some of you
No theres the felcycle timekiller to do still

All this for it to be good for 2,5 Specs :DDDDDD
does it work in pvp?
No, it is nerfed by 75%
@@memofreire so its around 639, i get it Thnx mate
blizzard giving away cool stuff is a staple at this point xD
Love the explanation about how to get the ring and the humor that goes with it. Great scripting of this video.
Needs a slightly bigger buff atm
I really REALLY hate, as do most players, NOT being able to fly.
Flightmaster is, imo, the absolute worst thing Blizzard ever did to WoW.
i would like having an extra slot for it
Folks Kelani Hey
I got the feeling blizz planned for the ring to start in 639 all along, and just trolled us in the beginning saying it starts in 619
Nearly identical to previous xpac iteration.
except that it wasnt scaled up to next season ilvl back in 10.0.7
If it works, it works. You don't have to reinvent the wheel for a minor patch.
Why do people like you act like we basically haven't been getting the same thing for 20 years? Do you want a WoW fps shooter mode? What do you want?
Who cares . More power GIMME
Sadly the acquisition of blizzard by Microsoft didn't change the fact that the dev team still loves to regurgitate old content over and over again instead of coming up with new ideas and systems
Quickly cause Forbidden Reach 2.0 will be empty in 3-4 weeks!!!!

I’m solo player and I raid and do mythic +. Watch out for the mirror
I love how blizz changed the classic talent system, colored Gem etc just to basically bring all those back in some shape and form!
Is this patch forbidden reach 2.0?
still weird to call it a circlet when circlets are rings for your head, not your finger
But the alliteration though
Just another time gated piece of content to keep subs.
This patch is cringe. Reeks of desperation to get people to play their content and is giving me Korthia vibes and I am not a fan. 😮
Blizzard you failed.
Hear me out Brewmaster buffs when ??
Sigh, timegated again... They never learn 😢
Atleast people will stick around a tiny bit more
Yeah forcefully when the content is boring @kawlin1975
Free but timegated 6 weeks.
Was this area and ring already accessible? Kind of sounds like it was/is by the way you were talking at some points in the video.
Kelani hey, this is folks!
I’ll pass thanks wake me up next expansion
It was smart to buff the ring because it’ll force people to complete content rather than being. Ehhhh 639. Pass
Weekly cap? I'm out... They do really do everything to keep ur subscription
I really hope they go away from item level being a thing, it's such a boring way to do items and upgrades.
Imagine blizz NOT forcing everyone to do their dogshit recycled world content
Cry harder
Forbidden rech 2.0 😅😅
The zone will be dead in 6 weeks like forbidden reach and any other mid patch zones they added ... another ring/necklace/trinket gimmick, another 3 week long zone lag fest till dead...
You must be so fun at parties 😂
@@christwubbles902 he just spittin' facts, why do you make fun of his opinion which is true?
Not everyone ist happy with that ring
As much as I would love to play, I have canceled my sub and plan on playing PoE2 for for the next 10 years
Okay, I guess?
you didn't need to tell us, we don't care
Then why are you here?
Not an airport. You don’t need to announce your departure.
All these salty nerds can’t fathom people enjoying another game because they made World of Warcraft their entire personality and can’t detach 💀
what is up with the alcoholics comment? LOL
I cannot wait to play AI generated wordquests with funny beings saying generic things until I get the thing I need to play the actual game properly

This zone should not have dropped till mid January.
How many people are going to miss a week or two because they are away with family over Christmas?
It’s not much to miss
@marcwinner567
From what I'm seeing, opinions vary on that.
Miss? It doesn't go anywhere.
So you’d rather more people stop playing because there has been nothing to do for weeks already.
This patch would be so much better without the ring.
It's so unnecessary and annoying - just system of "random procs and eating half of bag space".
Feels like again all world suffer because US Gambling addicts need "exciting random stuff" everywhere.
At least we can destroy every gem and just buy it back if needed.
