with production value like this, I had assumed you were already at at least 100k subs, you really deserve more recognition, these videos are good.

Great video, but just one lore error: azeroths inhabitants started in this order: the elementals, the old gods, the titans. Old gods were on azeroth before the titans.

Only thing I think you missed was Sylvanas's visit to the frozen throne after Arthas's death, realizing that Bolvar was the new LK. Unfortunately, it was only really covered in a story on the Blizz site. You're doing great work man!

My suggestion for you would be for you to go into detail as much as you want and just timestamp it, so that people could skip to the parts that they are actually interested in and learn all they can.

Hey man LOVE your content, subscribing right now. I'm curious....where could one find all of the in-game cutscenes from these older expansions? I've seen some of them while doing chromie time in the SL pre-patch but I know there's more out there I haven't seen.

@Lawllin 3 жыл бұрын

thanks a lot, i really appreciate the liking and subcribing and stuff. But more importantly- you can find almost all of the videos on the official World of Warcraft youtube page. a lot of the BIG cutscenes are usually found out the end of raids or as the start of a patch, like "rise of the thunder king" "rise of the zandalari" or even something like "ice crown citadel trailer". there are also a couple of youtube compilations that have most of the in game stuff. i hope that helps ya out

Much like 99% of the players (including those who did the raid), this video has forgotten about the Ruby Sanctum and it will likely never be remembered unless you’re me who remembers raids I never did for no reason

Is it just me or does it seem all of WOW falls into this formula. 1. New group appears out of thin air in a region completely controlled by another major faction. 2. Manipulations by some Greta evil entity ensues requiring all of the world to ally and destroy this evil entity with overwhelming force (no strategy just force). 3. Big baddy dead. Allies break apart and start fighting. 4. Rinse and repeat. It gets old real fast when one God after another corrupts one being after another to destroy the world in much the same way. Also sending heroes to do everything is such a change form wacraft 1-3 where's armies actually fight not just heroes. Never played wow it's just the vibe I'm getting from these videos
