:D

Dude yes. I love this kind of content tbh

Yah this video reminded me of the early days a lot

Yeah I really love press and I don’t mind the new stuff but I really want to see this kind of contents again

His 'content' has gotten stale ever since he just became a full time dungeon and raid dude. When him and Ghosty were playing together they made videos that had heart and enthusiasm in them. I get that his favorite thing to do is raid and gear up his one main, but when you go back to his days in Legion, the daily preach videos were far and away better than what he's put out latey. He actually played different classes, he tanked and healed, he made guides for those roles, he gave status updates every patch and for every raid. Somewhere in BFA he lost that spark, and it's sad. But I am glad to see this type of content from him again. He's still on my mount rushmore of WoW content creators, but he's definitely not doing anything to separate himself from the pack anymore. I mean, making a video about why you can't get into a group based o your raider.io score? That's the content he has now, compared to the legacy videos he previously made with the catalog of info and highlight footage that he's amassed over the years? It's sad.

@@blacksunshine9995 Preach has always been about that though. While the primary content at the start was about making class guides, there have always been videos discussing things about the game as a whole, albeit specifically things surrounding the PvE raid environment and the balance and state of class gameplay. And regarding playing other classes: back in Legion it was actually fun to level alts in spite and actually because of artifacts. Of course, also because of the mage tower. It hasn't been that way in BfA and not really in SL either. Can't blame him for that, especially after his guild died down (which usually gives anyone involved a bump in motivation to play), the raid hasn't been that good either on mythic and he's been livestreaming non-WoW stuff from 8:30 to currently ~15:00 daily outside of weekends, give or take, that have been simply more interesting and enjoyable to do.

cuz they are anyone who likes MC just hates mechanics

Castle nathria it's shit

@@sheesh3214 Nah.

@@Freestyle80 I don't think anyone actually likes MC,

It’s because they are.

Classic Blackrock Depths is easily one of the best ones ever.

Maybe not all, o dunno, there has to be a way. Maybe making tier lists for each expansion

I would put The Oculus dead last followed by every MoP dungeon xD. I hate gimmicks and vehicle combat.

@@roberthansson8222 I fell in love with BRD. I loved the story, the design. When I first started playing the game it was the first place my guild mates and I would farm and explore. Classic couldn't quite recreate that experience since everyone knew all the secrets and shortcuts, but those first times clearing BRD and experiencing the story, especially as a dwarf, will always stand out in my mind as one of my favorite experiences in WoW.

Grimrail Depot is my favorite. It is so fun to do and the fact that you're on a train makes it even more fun.

hyjal was just a 1-1 copy from the WC3 campaign sadly.

Hyjal has literally nothing going for it. The story behind it does not make any sense at all, BC raids are usually just an excuse to throw popular characters as bosses for the sake of it, but Hyjal is not even an excuse, go back in time for the LOLz. The mechanics are horrendous and unimaginative, the "mob waves" fight style was honestly better executed in Ahn'Qiraj, the bosses might as well be leveling dungeon bosses, their mechanics are stupid. It's visuals are cool, but they are insulting, because instead of making Hyjal a zone with the files they had since vanilla, they opted for turning them into a lazy raid to fill in a tier.

Tell him he's wrong tho.

@@Loomx5 oh no he is defintly right, Just the transition was hilarious xD

Absolutely, infinitely prefer concise thought-out videos on anything WoW related to TDPs and stream bits

Some of my favorite videos in the past (aside from the legacy videos) were the top 10s - whether serious or memey. It's just a easily digestible format as a viewer. I don't think there's genuinely anything wrong with it.

@King DJml

First Preach video I've clicked on in months that isn't Drama Time. To be fair, I'm not actively playing WoW atm, so that influences this. Thanks Mike!

i did enjoy his take on things.

Completely agree. I love raiding for the art, the music, my friends and fighting together with my guild to accomplish something, even if we don't get that far into mythic. I fucking love raiding and I have never hated a raid so much that I wanted to (temporarily) quit. I honestly don't remember hating a raid ever. To quote a lad, I love it when a plan comes together.

Spot on!

Yeah! As basic as Molten Core is, for instance, I have fond memories of trying to hug the wall, while avoiding patrols for Garr, only to end up in frantic "last man standing" massacres. Or doing "double duty" for adds during Razorgore & Nefarian, or forgetting which buff did what and somehow barely survive Chrommagus. Good times!

Well you're optimistic because in the 3 cases I can say there's both the best things you will ever experience in your whole life, and absolute garbage lol

You, my friend, are a hero

To be fair, it's Hyjal. Nobody likes Hyjal. It's nice to do like once or twice if you're a W3 nerd, but as a group content it blows.

@@NostalgiaXV Yeah. I feel sorry for the guys who are going to farm it in TBC classic.

I still have ptsd from that crap. back in the days it literally took hours to finish it..

I totally agree. IDGAF about Xavius, EN was a top notch raid.

You guys liked EN? I thought cenarius and that bird lady were and kinda cool fights, everything else was just boring af. Uldir was pretty decent. I’d easily put both highmaul uldir and CN over EN. He just likes it because fire was broken in that raid and he mained it

Illgynoth xavius dragons all horrifically bad fights ursoc was just a sleep tank and spank same with first boss En compared to all other legion raids was crap in comparison. Also the trash was disgusting.

@@TranscendentPhoenix Yeah agree. Uldir CN and High Maul were very good but EN genuinely very boring. First boss was kinda fun the first few times you progged but quickly just fell over once you'd geared. Bird lady and Cenarius fun, the rest super dull.

Uldir was fine, except for G'huun.

Some people's been raidlogging ICC for the better part of a decade, its hilarious

I started retail on legion (was poor). I've played WotLK private servers for no less than 6 years. I can't wait for WotLK Classic on 2023.

@@dumpsterplayer5133 Warmane gang rise up

i wouldnt hold my breath, if the BC launch doesnt meet or exceed the vanilla launch there is no way they will proceed.. and i think lots of people had their fill of nostalgia already

Wow it’s almost as if there’s different people with different opinions!! What a crazy idea !!!

The consistent quality of raids is what keeps me coming back WoW honestly. A lot of other games do a lot of things better, but they really do have some fantastic group challenges.

@@Loomx5 raiding has always been the premiere activity in WoW imo. PvP and dungeons were fun but they constantly had to fundamentally morph how they worked throughout the years whereas raiding, outside of difficulty shifts and accessibility changes was still the same at its core.

Well they better, because they ruined everything else the game had to offer over the years outside of maybe some mythic dungeons

Still is.

God I hope he just forgot about it. Rating ToC above firelands, Tos, EP and honestly most other raids on that list would kill something inside of me.

Yeah, that's the big one that I'm really surprised hasn't popped up yet. It was panned pretty heavily basically as soon as it came out. Also, I'm shocked he hasn't mentioned most of the single boss raids like Magtheridon's Lair, Gruul's Lair (ok, technically two bosses), Obsidian Sanctum, etc. He mentioned Ruby Sanctum so that was a single boss raid, but there's no way that Sartharion was better than any of the raids he listed here.

I really liked Trial. All of the bosses have something good going on with innovative ideas. No annoying trash you have to deal with. No long walks after a wipe and the best thing in my opinion is that the whole thing is extremely atmospheric and has a place in the story of the expansion. Why are we fighting those bosses? Because we try to determine the strongest champions who gonna be the vanguard for the siege of ICC. They are not just some random bosses standing in the middle of an empty room waiting for you to kill them with no apparent job other then being the evil guy. At the end it ties back into the overall story really nicely when the Lichking shows up, fucks the whole place up and gives you a real challenge. The whole tournament setup and environtment is also a nice contrast to the rest of the expansion which is all about death, grand schemes, big places and the bleak darkness and cold. Some whimsical to give you a moment to breathe. But the ending of the whole affair reminds you that there is no escaping the grip of the Lichking and that death is all around you in northrend. I can understand why people don't like the raid, it is definitely not something that should be used as a Prototype for other raids. But in the context of the expansion and the role it was meant to fill I think they did a fantastic job with it.

Preach is immensely biased on ToC. It was his second tier with Method and he was very close to clinching a world first in there. Personally I think the negatives far outweighs the positives, but at least some of the bosses in there were very good.

The title does say "part 1" so chances are it will be in "part 2" ranked higher

I like how ToT us praised by almost everyone, and it sucks that i never raided it when was current only doing transmo runs, and that was thanks to HoF. What a shitty, boring, and ugly raid imo. My entire raid group got sick of it, some took breaks until the next raid, some who still wanted to raid regardless look for another guild and the mayority including me took a break until the next expansion... Damn i hate HoF lol

Oh and I LOVED Blackwing Descent and Bastion of Twilight. HATED Dragonsoul other than gunship and tennis.

It was an amazing fight. The feeling of finally getting it after 50+ attempts was amazing

Gottem

I feel called out! Hahaha
