The race between Day9 and Wowcrendor to hit level cap! Crendor has an 11 year head start but I think it'll be close.

its amazing how much content was generated by this 6 mob pull challenge

This video is the perfect length for my daily visit to John Keeshan's.

sean making noises is fucking peak content.

I have never clicked on a video this quick. My eye to hand coordination in that one very brief moment would have put many Counter Strike players to shame.

The creative confidence to remake the same character that caused him embarrassment in BG3 is astounding.

WoW: toilets Day9: this is the funniest thing ever conceived

Ahhh the backpedalling right into more mobs. A certified classic new player maneuver, you love to see it.

Watching new players is fucking wild.

Sean: this game thinks I am stupid and it draws giant areas on the map for me to see where I need to go. How disrespectful. Also Sean: keeps the giant areas on his map and gets lost, stuck, walks the wrong way at every opportunity. Peak content 😂

This was real fun. You could see the neurons lining up as he slowly began to mage all over those mobs.

As someone who had NO IDEA who you were until these WoW videos, this is some really good shit. An actual beginner is somewhat of a rare-spawn for this game nowadays and its so fun to watch.

I like how the stream slowly evolved into John Keeshan humor.

watching day9 going through all of this without his best skill on the action bar is hilarious. Watching wow again through the eyes of a 1st time player is honestly a great experience. Edit: Oh shoot 4 hours in he found it. Thank you twitch chat

Your friends did you a solid by guiding you towards Redridge Mountains.

The John Keeshan bit was so good

"Is this sponsored? No, I'm doing this to myself" 🤣 Has been great to see you give WoW a try, and thoroughly entertaining! 🙂

it´s like watching a cat trying to fly a kite it´s hilarious, you never really realise how much you take for granted like the lingo (like the whole "pull 6 mobs and defeat em") after so many years playing wow

Gotta say...the whole "guided adventure" idea is pretty dope...great for sharing WoW with friends who may not be familiar with MMOs or even RPGs. Props to Ed!!

"kill 6 mobs in 1 pull, I don't even know what that means" Oh I'm so ready for this

i need another 4 hours of Day9 trying and failing to kill 6 mobs in one pull

Take A Shot Whenever Day9 Says "No Backseating" Challenge - IMPOSSIBLE

The wow content is some of the best day 9 content Ive seen in years.

Figuring out what works as a spell/skill rotation and crafting your own is some of the most rewarding stuff that WoW has to offer imo. Glad to see Day9 was able to find an opportunity to dive head-on into that!

It's awesome to see Day9's community reference the overlord/hydralisk soundeffect/video from 10 years ago and Sean making himself laugh doing them 10 years later. Never change Sean.

This has to be the best content he’s ever created 😂

All future WoW streaming should be under the alias Day 9 Keeshan

I love to see how Day9 conquers pulling and killing N mobs by himself. Love to see the amount of headbanging before he finally realizes what to do, I love how many times I wanted to stop the video and tell Day9 how to do it.

fingers crossed for another classic video after this!

Thank you, Sean, for all the laughs! Slappin mobs with ice and traversing redridge! Love it! Slap her with ice!

good god that mutalisk was perfect, i was instantly transported back to middle school

This has been super wholesome. I started playing wow when I was 11. Which was 20 years ago. Seeing Day9 just galavanting around has been weirdly cathartic for me. I got yelled at a lot by strangers all while I played this game until I got good enough that, nowadays, I'm mostly ignored. I really love this game, the way people act when they play it is awful.

Love watching your blind play through of WoW. I haven’t played retail in a looooong time and it’s cool to see what the game’s become from a new player perspective. I hope you keep going with Classic.

Getting up that many times in the night because you thirsty can be a sign of Diabeetus. I'm the same and my docs been warning me.

14:37 . He's actually just a muta in a human costume.

Such an entertaining guy, watched it all. Almost, but will have to watch the last hour later

what I learned from this is I desperately need for starcraft to include a Day[9] voiceover, where Sean voices all the units

Such a fun concept! I could see it work for lots of other games.

The final hour of this was a treat! Seeing him slowly figure out a proper rotation was lovely viewing!

Fantastic way to make up for retail's deficits. have fun!

You never fail to make me laugh. Love you Sean and all your takes, and cat

It is comforting to find that murlocs can still cause nightmares.

I love seeing this absolutely new player experience

Big fan of these wow reviews...I'm curious about your reaction to more classic wow tho!

Holy hell it's the guy from Twitch

Holy hell it's the guy from twitch!

Less than two minutes in and I'm already so excited

Contrary to the beliefs of some prudes, John Keeshan humour is still funny as an adult.

I forget what its like to be new at this game, i dont think i know a single gamer that hasnt played wow at some point in their lives

I love that frost mage has so much crowd control ability, but he runs into melee range and sits there casting spells and when he runs away, he doesn't us any of the cc and just spams nova.... love it!

I said it once in the chat I will say it again here. I wish to look half as good as Sean when I go bald !!!

When I stopped playing, I had just crossed over a year of playtime.

It will be a while until Day9 does the mage tower but I believe he can!

I love that this mage looks like the Guardian character he made in BG3 lol

I played a bit of classic and before my sub ran out i tried retail for giggles. And i gotta say the crazy theme park loopdeeloops aside. Clicking buttons felt incredible.

Love this.

I have not laughed this hard in a long time - I say after watching every video sean creates

Day9 playing Wow again really makes me John Keeshan.

I love that Sean accidentally phonetically named himself after one of the most powerful druids in Warcraft

After you making those Starcraft unit sounds I am now convinced that this is how the devs actually created them.

I never comment but needed to put my vote in - I would love if you kept playing this (or Classic)- seeing some of these environments again after not playing since 2005 is just wonderful to watch

Did you end up finishing the redridge storyline? You hearthed out right before the best parts

the amount of times he opened his spell book and didnt put ice barrier on his bars was terrifying, it was literally shining.

Watching Sean figure out how to kill 6 mobs at once was so enjoyable. Top tier content! Love it.

OMG! Uncle is back playing WoW

Honestly, tagging (and killing) 6 mobs is one of the worst tasks you can give to a new player, even in Retail. Great video anyway, hope you keep having fun!

All a streamer has to do is play wow for the first time and they’ll have an immediate audience, because I’m watching

Don't disrespect your John Keeshan - remember to flush after using one!

Ed is a monster 🤣

I was about 1 hour 30 minutes into this video, and I wanted to see how fast that I, a VERY experienced wow player, could catch up. So I made a void elf mage and started leveling (since void elf starts at level 10 in Stormwind), and at 2:31:08 in the video, I turned in the same quest to Keeshan that Day9 just did in 48 minutes on my character. Going in order, and more importantly, not dying, certainly helps lol. I'm not saying this to talk about how bad Day9 is or anything, he'd absolutely DESTROY me in Starcraft or Hearthstone and the like because I am *not* experienced in those, just as he is not experienced in WoW. It was just a fun experiment and I thought I'd chime in. (For the record, I did not use any heirlooms since D9 also didn't have access to heirlooms.)

Good idea to replace the introduction. I know a few other games that could really benefit from this sort of content... mostly MMOs. I will say that I would really love to see more WoW Classic much more than retail. That felt like you were genuinely having fun because of the game itself.

1 level per hour. This going to be quite the leveling journey.

Love these wow videos however I enjoyed watching you play and figure out classic more, the slower pacing and old school vibe compliments you well.

Just like in South Park, Sean spent hours in the forest, Killing Mobs to grind levels.

Is he ever going to grab a dang flight point!!!!!

@2:43:20 funniest gamer moment of all time

Look how many buttons I have! Love it lol

Given all the things you’ve said you enjoyed (relaxing chill slow paced game) I really think you’d like classic! Cata classic just reshaped the world so if you want a more authentic classic experience that still has a playerbase maybe check out season of discovery (basically just classic but they added some spells from later expansions) I’d love to see you blind play through original wow as the classic re release was my first exposure to the game and I loved it, it’d make for a cool day9 just chatting type stream

4:20 incredible backseating immediately after explicit instructions not to

Hope you gonna continue playing

i remember when Day9 first got Blink in classic and turned his camera behind him and blinked (forward, the way his character was facing, but towards the camera) and since he was unfamiliar with the environment he misunderstood his displacement as being in the direction his camera was facing. this mistake of understanding a key game-mechanic came into full fruition in this video where he tried to escape and live by pointing his camera to blink but blinking the opposite direction and dying.

John Keeshan arrives ~ 1:11:13

13:36 14:04 Lmao. Best part

sometimes i think sean is being obtuse on purpose to get my blood pressure up. "clicks x instead of complete quest". xD

Level 13 you have a mount in retail?? Holy shit.

Hit em with the 2

any chance this guide can be public?

It's wild that Balatro at this point is going to be overshadowed by all the other amazing games that have and will come out this year. Easily could have been a game of the year most years.

10/10 Zerg noises.

Hi Day9, I just wanted to add on that feeling of choices/freedom in how to go about doing things in games because it is relevant to the history of WoW. Classic WoW has now reach the Cataclysm expansion which is regarded by many as the beginning of the "downfall" of WoW, at least in terms of game design. You see, after having extended the talent trees and ability pools twice, with The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, the "devs" (probably some wise non-gamer in marketing) felt that the game was getting too complex for new players and that said complexity would deter people from even trying the game. With the theme of Cataclysm being the reshaping of Azeroth following the awakening of Deathwing, it seems the devs were embolden to attempt to reshape the character progression experience as well. So they squashed down all talent trees to half their size, removed the ability to freely put points in different trees and essentially streamlined the experience. They reverted a lot of that back to how it was in later expansions but the damage had been done and the rise in popularity of private servers running TBC and WotLK versions of the game began around that time. For many, the Vanilla, TBC and WotLK versions are considered the best simply because the design philosophy hadn't been "tainted" by the streamlining obsession that serves more the investors in renewing the customer base than the actual customer base. Imagine having played the game for years precisely for that freedom of doing things "your way", and then logging in to a new expansion not to have more ways to do things, but less. Ironically, at the highest level of the game, the raiding scene, classes like frost mage and elemental shaman are essentially spamming their main spell(frost/lightning bolt) for 2 hours so despite having well over 40 different spells/abilities the relevancy of the majority of them is very circumstantial. Which loops back to the design change. Reducing the amount of such circumstantial abilities is a reasonable business move, but it is done at the cost of taking away player freedom. And then they proceeded to make the same mistake so many corporations made, they confused game features with player freedom. Giving players more things to do "your" way isn't making your game more relatable to your players, it often makes it less, feeling like your game is just a list of chores. Giving players more ways do to the same feature is immensely more relatable because you've given the players the ability to play "their" game. Another problem with the streamlining of a game is what people refer to as the Class Identity problem. For instance, the mage's Blink was so strong that the class only started falling off of the meta after many other classes had been given similar movement abilities. At first those changes were thematically motivated, like the rogue getting shadowstep in TBC or the deathknight getting a "get over here" scorpion style pull, but then the themes became a pretext to give everyone essentially the same toolkit, making the class selection process almost irrelevant compared to it being the most important decision of any rpg.

I can't tell when what his points are about the game, he is sarcastic all the time, so when he give blizzard a compliment I don't know if he is being sarcastic or sincere

Hey Sean, watching you try WoW classic and retail has been really enjoyable. Have you thought about giving other mmos like Final Fantasy 14, Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Star Wars The Old Republic and others a go the same way you did with WoW?

Once again the note: Disable "enable ipv6 if available" in your wow network settings, (It's right in there with settings) in case you experience the same issue with random disconnects :)

Nice to see how Sean picked up playing mage so quick "TWO!! TWO!! TWO!!" (that is basicly how you level a mage, not even joking)

I honestly think you should just do MOP Remix at this point

3:45:41 "...and the man in black followed."

ethiopian cuisine is very good indeed

The only thing i don't like watching the VOD is that i can't see his Chat :(

Hey Day9 been a long time sub- firstly, always log off in a inn to get boosted exp. The tool tip is on your exp bar if you hover over it. Keep it up - Hilarious. P.s Mage ftw

*playing frost mage, reading a new ability* Sean: "dude you get so many abilities in this game"
