Would be cool but then you probably would end up loading everyone´s replays and inventory from all maps and realms and servers, not only from the dead, but the ones still alive.

The technology actually exists. Back during Vanilla the players skeletons would remain but people started using this system to "paint" inappropriate symbols onto the floor.

@@bitbraindev True, had forgot about that. Still they would manage to mess up, they always do.

I see a game world, and I want to paint it red.

I totally approve

Was looking at that priest's mana bar and thinking "Why are you running?"

@@TorauthTo cheat and hide obviously

Pally?

the priest spent a whole day commenting under the original clip how he owned the pala and that he was in fact not the priest commenting

At least went doing what he loved

Pick up groups are riotously risky! If I join a PUG and see them running off to different locations, I immediately just disband.

@@swallowedinthesea11 personally i pull everything and feign death if they arent up to my speed

@@peepogob perfectly normal pick up behaviour. thanks for your service, dear hunter.

@@peepogob It's been 19 years and hunters haven't changed at all.

@@Icemario87 they only got dumber

I thought it was carrying a shotgun with you at all times or not going at all.

To be safe, when you travel, always bring a friend, for case like this

As an Alaskan who has encountered a lot of bears. The secret to surviving a bear attack is being more aware of your surroundings to begin with, and also carrying a .45-70 lever action marlin. But yeah meme quotes work too I guess until you're actually in that situation cause most of you aren't doing much running.

@@TyyTheFlyGuyit’s just a joke mate…

​@TyyTheFlyGuy oh ya ur such a badass, man.

Or, very simple, don't accept random makgora invites. That's just stupid.

that priest really chose the ONE class that has enough survavibility to make them go OOM but still have a full health bar lol.

I also love how they keep attacking the mobs, delaying the reset.

Don't forget most of them ignore the environment, which they can use to their advantage, too. A few of them could've used a stone to line of sight a spellcaster, or jumped a fence to make the mobs run around, but nah - it'll be fine...

panic is a helluva drug

zoomed in to near 1st person perspective

not to mention theyre all perma dazed cuz they dont strafe :p

What if you group with a total moron that gets your character dead?

@@Ithilionif they pull an entire group that you know for a fact will kill you , just don’t hit them ???

Exactly ... like people just sit there and fight to tag mobs for quests instead of grouping .... retail scrubs

Even playing solo, I talk to people and make friends, not like you have to play with other people in a group to do that.

games dead anyways. doesnt matter.

I survived it!! But I still expect to die at some point. Have a level 13 horde druid eeeeep

I almost died in skull rock myself, faintly glowing skull saved my warriors hide

i dont remember that being the case and i cant find patchnotes or documantation about shadow form preventing fall damage Falldamage always ignored absorbtion like powerword shield so its very unlikely but to have been normal physical damage that got prevented by shadowform please link me stuff if you can find something more it

@@damnvier3897 It was just something I found out on my own back then. Assumed it was physical dmage since it was shadow form that stopped it. As for patch notes, I have no idea. It was around until TBC at least. Cannot remember after that. Similar to how you could talk to the opposite faction if you mind controlled them, then /emote “your message”. Found that out on my own. Once I made a high level alliance rogue friend (I was an undead priest) using this one day, and we went around Westfall killing alliance. I would mind control them, then he would kill them. It was amazing. People made a post on the forums complaining about us.

The way this was written makes no sense.

@@degeneratemafia What's confusing you?

Vanilla Shdowform was 15%. Clearly didn't play Vanilla.

Or is it just that the clickers are the ones also making other stupid mistakes?

man its vanilla lol it takes literally zero skill to play vanilla.

@@andrecardoso6941 I think you are using word "literally" wrong. It takes some skill to use it correctly although not much. By looking the clips, it's obvious that people make mistakes, which implies that it requires at least tiny bit skill.

@@ManWithoutThePants what are you on about?

@@andrecardoso6941he’s on about your high school education and lack of vocabulary.

Most death are avoidable, but when you're surprised and panicking, your decisions get significantly worst. Most people will have avoidable death, wether it's because of lack of skill, or knowledge, or wisdom. Or, like in some of these clips, because of not being able to stay cool-headed in the face of sudden danger. That's why you should always prepare for the worst.

I have never played WoW so i dont understand, why do people even get themselves in these kindof situations? Basically doing "parkour" ingame? Or is this just a part of the game that you have to go through?

@Gangsta2330 There is no main quest so you don't have to do any quest that you think is too sketchy, but it does take knowledge of the game. There is no reason to do parkour, I don't even know what that guy was doing on that tree 😅 Also being lower level than enemies is punishing, so its okay to come back to them later on.

That first death was more than avoidable. regardless of the fact that he was trying to sneak up he shouldnt have been right on the edge of the branch. that guy was basically begging to fall off

At one point, you're like been playing for 4-5hours, maybe 20 with your character. Everything is going smoothly, its easy and the sense of danger is just a little off. You can make a mistake and manage to survive using your knowledge of the game. But one time, its THAT one pull that seal the deal and get you killed. After that, you know you were cocky, lazy, trying to get faster xp on a quest, etc. Azeroth have no feeling for weakness. You need to stay in that mindset without never having a little moment off

I don't know whether you saw, but all of those mobs cause a very long aoe silence and it didn't seem to have any kind of diminishing cooldown... In short, he was silenced the whole fucking desperate trip towards the entrance of that cave.

@@TheParez no shot he was silenced enough to justify that, he cast a bunch of pointless spells throughout, he could've 100% survived that if he'd started with mana shield

You mean a r1 mage and one of the best players in wow history? Surely he did it wrong and you would have done it right.

@@mitchellcarter2799 Even the best players out there are not Gods, and no I can't pretend I would've done better under the pressure... still, he objectively fucked up and could've done it. Especially as you mention, with someone of Xaryu's skill level

I haven't played WoW in a long time, but back in the day when I played if you tried to name your character the same name as someone else, it would tell you that name is taken and not let you create a character. Is that not a thing anymore?

Oh, yes! And later in Dire Maul, too.

The first one is hella fake.

@@thefunkylordwedgeyeah no way that was real like he definitely intentionally fell down.

I get that some of these mechanics are opaque, but it amazes me how few people understand how evading mobs, resets, and the like work.

Not that simple lol. Some safe spots definitely do reset mobs and it can take varying amounts of time. I used to reset mobs from safe spots in ZF (while farming trash in the graveyard) and ZG (while farming bloodvine) all of the time.

He knows that lol, he was camping in it outside of attack range for like 20sec before where this clip starts, they didn’t reset, they came melee when he tried moving a little

I guess this goes to show you just how much real stress can effect your decision-making. Xaryu was a flawless duelist in classic but here he is dying with half his mana left.

Sure hope so

But not for the bait duel, right? I suppose this was just the tip of the iceberg of who knows what other shady stuff he did.

That's just dumb. Might as well ban everyone then. Nobody forced the paladin to accept a random makgora invite.

Usually it is the "i" that people screw around with, as it us probably the least recognizable. A normal i or with a ` or a ^ (there are different options, but my phone just can't manage and I am too lazy to get the symbol / letter copy pasted from a google search)

My brother did the exact same thing when he began, I'll let him know he is no longer alone.

Assuming they've played retail and not taking into account +w/e mythic runs, classic overall is waaaay more unforgiving then retail outside of raids/dungeons, you almost have to try to die in retail, still most deaths were kinda dumb from kb turning to clicking essential skills

Much of the problem stems from the fact that Retail and Classic are two entirely different games. Sure, they both say "World of Warcraft" on the title screen, but 19 years worth of changes from the original game to what we have now has drastically transformed it. You cannot approach Classic with a Retail mindset as many skills are different in 2023 versus 2004, players can survive a ton more punishment while doing far more damage, etc. 19 years worth of power creep, rebalancing, and the addition of level scaling has really done some strange things to WoW. It isn't that Classic is harder, but it can be a slower and more methodical experience. Some vets have forgotten just how much the game changed in nearly 19 years, then they get a massive reality check once they log onto Classic. Meanwhile, you've got players that have NEVER experienced Classic at all. Anyone that has ONLY played the game from Legion onward is going to be in for an extremely rude awakening. I have no doubts that some of the repeat offenders in these videos that keep making the same boneheaded mistakes again and again are players that never experienced WoW pre-Legion. In hindsight, I'd say Mists is the point where the two versions of the game are fairly balanced in that you can't expect to run around like an idiot and survive, yet you can generally get away with bigger than normal pulls within reason. From that point, the closer you go in either direction, then the more like Classic/Current Retail the game becomes.

Dead bodies get deleted every week at maintenance.

Sounds like you've got your priorities all lined up. That'll be a Sausage McMuffin, a hashbrown and a large coffee, black. Can you not forget to put napkins in the bag this time? Yes, that'll be all.

@@Sasq420 I dont understand what you mean, are you having a stroke?

I kept asking myself why people were running away instead of backwards to NOT get dazed lol.

so if you overpull then the play is to just backpedal and not hit the mobs until they de-aggro? Can't get dazed and you can still dodge/parry since the mobs are hitting you in the front? @@Ishlacorrin

@@57precision That's how I used to play it back in Original Classic, unless the game has changed greatly then it should still work half decent. Of course if you can LoS for a sec, or drop off a small elevation level so you can run with your back turned but out of melee range then that is better.

the spawn rate is really fast depending on how many players there are in an area.

😂

It's a special hardcore clause and yea pvp deaths are perma

I wouldn't recommend starting with hc, when it's your first time classic, but enjoy the normal experience. But people said you can transfer for free to a normal server, so it doesn't matter really.
