Always get a bunch of questions about how I started raiding World First, so I thought I'd make a video walking through my journey.

GOOCH, I AM THE GM OF LATE NIGHT SORCERY!! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
We didn't hate you at all! We just missed you!!
yo 4463
What I learned from this video: Having a girlfriend is a raid-wide debuff.
Can confirm, still in 2021
I met my now husband when he joined my guild with his then GF. :D
You must be new to wow.....
try kids
same goes for boyfriend.
"So i had i girlfriend that didn't liked me that i was playing wow" " So broke up with her a year later... "
3 times he did it :D
Amen, my brother.
How many folks I saw growing up that tolerated complete jerks who were way too into sports, but then as I was coming up freaked out over us kids being on the computer or playing games at the arcade (yeah, I'm old...). I still meet people in my generation who see nothing wrong with a guy who watches sports all day long and spends half his income on fantasy football, but freak out if you mention WoW or Skyrim or something. And that tolerate that sport bloke getting drunk and rowdy around his family and his kids, but not the guy who stays calm, nice, and sober while playing something online.
What a fucking Chad he is, Jesus Christ.
If a woman can't appreciate or at least tolerate your hobbies out of love then she isn't worth being with. That was back during Wrath though, the perception of gaming and gamers has changed a LOT since.
Max man you weren't a douche in duality, I thought you were one of the coolest guys in there. You recruited me to tank SoO based on damage parses for tank monks lol.
This is a great story! Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of us can relate. WoW is almost used as a timeline for our lives. I can remember where I was in life by thinking about what expansion was out 😂
I legit mark how old my kids are by remembering which X-Pac was going on
@@Caiphex "yeah my son is tbc years of age and my daughter wod years of age" lmao
As a relatively new player, ie WoD was when I started, it’s crazy to hear/learn about all this history from previous expansions and see such an important character like max talk about them from first hand experience. Especially the big moments like world firsts and RL recruitments.
I started in 2006 and noobed myway in tbc then hc raided in icc crazy times. Iam 47 year old lady that still get the magic feels xxx
dude what a legend. got to R1 with a literal track pad
You've grown a lot, Max! You should be very proud of the way you hold/represent yourself (now) :) your content is greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Max.. I have a similar experience. I was a 16 year old average player who got recruited into a top 15 US guild in vanilla the moment the first ever server transfers opened. I ended up progressing with them in naxxramas and we were world second on KT. Crazy timing and epic moments in my life
this is so inspiring :D im always so self conscious about my raidd leading even though im constantly told im one of the best a lot of people have had the liberty of playing with im still so skeptical about it. but this shiwed me dont give up and keep goin thank you
Literally feel this so much! I have the same story.. 27 and just got back into WoW. Had that stigma where every now and then I would think what of I played again? Then I would think well I need to do adult stuff. Now I'm just loving the game. Awesome Max I love your stuff man!
I love these stories!!! I love coming up stories! Keep it up maxiepoo!
Love that you don't take yourself too seriously and can laugh at stuff like this.
Greatly appreciate that you took the time and money to invest into a great camera for your streams. Being able to watch in 1440p60fps when half of any other streamer still 1080p sometimes 60fps is really refreshing.
What I learned is that girlfriends arent a buff, theyre a debuff
If you get one that plays its a buff it's nice to have gaming also being counted as quality time.
Nah man, my GF is S-tier. She loves watching me raid and always tells me to get back to the raid when I pay her attention and "go kill dudes".
Need a girl that tells you to go back on wow cause she’s tired of your shit 😂
@@cryogenical_ You gotta teach her so she can call all the tactics and you can have details in the middle of the screen
🤣🤣🤣
Bro no wonder TM Sean accepted this app; this is literally still him to this day lmao.
Inspiring story. I will never be good enough to play in a top guild or lead one (and that's okay). But this video reminds me a bit of myself and how I went from a crappy play to a decent one. I want to learn and be better at this game. I love your videos Max!
I heavily relate to this. I was a pretty decent healer back in classic, but my attitude was similar to yours (albeit I was 14) and I was in and out of several guilds because of that. I joined a guild that cleared the majority of Naxx in the beginning of BC (And stayed with them for 2+ years) and by the time T6 came around, I was an officer in a top US guild by the age of 16 and my attitude was completely different. I matured so much in just 2 years because of my role in that guild.
Love these discussion type vids Max. Good stuff
wow this bring me back, 4.3 was my first time killing the end boss on the highest difficultly. was a hunter who thought he knew more than he actually did and did it on shitty laptop with a track pad. Didn't really get macros or key binds yet so i bound my most used skills on the action bar and the A through " on my keyboard. used them arrows keys to turn and everything
Haven’t watched it yet but throwing a like. I really enjoy what you do.
Oh man this is so fucking funny I rewatched it the 3rd time now :P Thanks for the great story and the life advice. Love it! I do not raid or watch world firsts, but I keep coming back for every video.
I love this, especially your reading of your application. It's nice to see how people grow up in the game, and how someone who may have been young and dumb and a real jerk can become a guide for others in the end :)
Good ole' Duality days. Crazy to believe Max joined right around when I left lol.
S/o Dime/Hightimes/Sourdiesel and Porestar the OGs
Your content is great. Love the stories you share.
i fell in love with wow and played a lot for 3 years, i was getting a lot of shit from my family, sister, friends, and because of the pressure i finally stopped but now i am back 10 years later and i dont regret it at all i wish i played all this time. i really wish i made video recordings of my achievements back in the day as well, we had some crazy milestones back then
Sick nasty resto numbers - Will never get old xD
Great story, I would like to thank you for coming to my country to help ease the pain of those less fortunate.
This is so timeless. I play in ONSLAUGHT in Classic WoW, and people still do the same thing with the screenshot when they apply. We probably get that once a month.
I have a feeling you're going to get inundated with applications to Limit with all these phrases slipped in there LOL. This is amazing, nice to be reminded the top players are normal people, just like the rest of us. Thanks for this video.
Consistency is key which can be tough considering how each person judges the game differently depending on the expansion, their class, so many factors. I came back in Legion to play seriously and read about Illidan server being the best and I was able to work my way up in guilds to a top 20 guild in 4 months. (Rainbow something) I remember I was with ImFireup who now is in Limit. I love woW but I have a hard time staying dedicated.
Icc Was such good times. I hit 80 during ulduar and used to pug naxx 2.0 had so much fun. But by icc I had learnt alot was starting to pump and loved the game. My friend from school was one of the best geared resto druids on our server and I was always in awe of his gs
I like these videos, they seem as podcasts, nice to listen to while doing stuff. Cheers from Shanghai o/
That copy and paste of your wow ui is a total boomer move bro
"never been pulled off before"
phrasing
Had to dig up that song you talked about and .......sounds like when I go back to my 80's music lol
Amazing video. I also used to be the worst when i was a teenager. Lots of relatable stuff haha
I definitely skipped about a quarter of my senior year just to play wow. When my parents found out I got in so much trouble...
"I hate to use the word magical" We all do, but we all know we had that feeling. I think i had like 30 days /played on lvl 40 priest in tbc because i was just roaming around not giving a shit and i was specced holy so it was really really hard to level for me especially with the gear i had since i didn't folllow questlines for sht. I was 9 years old then and english was not my first language, no one around me played wow so i had to figure out most of it on my own and it was beautiful. I am sometimes saddened because i know that my skill now won't allow me to ever have an experience like that again in any MMO :(
Oh cool man. I also grew up playing travel ice hockey!
good video, can't wait for limit history vid
Near the end: mentorship. Young folks are out there trying to prove themselves in life, but they need mentorship - and the ones that will grow into something will do so the day they realize that. Being on the other side of the coin, being willing to look at all the young jerks on your lawn and know that some of them are there for guidance - that's becoming a leader.
every time i see how chilled max his dogs are, i want to have 2 dogs like that too sad face
Es ist es soooo heftig wert
I also 100% played that entire xpac on a mac book track pad. As a boomkin. I'm just glad I wasnt the only one.
yo max as an audio engineer-phile guy the sm7b does not collect sound from its side its only from the center. I know you had some blue, nice upgrade, you will get better sound using it from the middle only , cheers thanks for the great content
This has to be greatest video to date in history of all videos
Literally the defenition of "fake it till you make it"
Around 15:00 where you're talking about using "Real-time Graphics" for DPS and HPS, there actually was a built-in feature in ReCount, that opened two windows, that showed real-time data as a diagram 👌
honestly, wow is still magical. i look forward to playing still after work 17 years later
Ok ok ok tbf tho Infections is kinda a dope character name.
is it though
@Retarco as an aff main came here to say the same thing
no it isn't lmfao yall must be the people naming your tauren cow puns and other boring played-out shit like that
@@cashnelson2306 yo mama is one of those ..Cash
@@cybermex90 yeah dude theres millions of cashes out there. super common name
Would be interested to hear you talk about what makes a great dps player - coming from your raid lead, tank and dps perspective
3:48 was spot on what wrath pug life was like. Oh the memories and the Deathbringer shitshow...
Miss raiding with you on ZJ with Duality. Good times man
I actully remember old max. I have been following from back when you did Cm boosts :D
I love that this is a snapshot of every person's first resume they "try hard" on for anything in life. Lying about everything down to the mouse is hilarious.
Ninja'ing Deathbringer's Will - Ah yes the raids on Stormstrike horde I had with that, even with my friends raid leading not saying it till it dropped lol
Nice, we have identical stories, started at 15, around icc launch, leveled the whole time.
Oh man, this reminds me of my first character Stardew the fire mage. At 73 i had no trouble with one npc, but anything more and I would invariably go splat. I also didn't learn how to jump until my third alt was 15 so there's that. I guess that's what you get for playing mostly by myself. Didn't get into heroic raiding until Throne of Thunder
I like that we can see the doggos all the time now
GG on your Nicaragua trip story and your reasoning behind it
Man, Max recounting how he leveled the wrong way in WotLK reminds me when I was in high school back when vanilla launched and I leveled 1-60 as a Resto Druid
really enjoying your videos, any eta on the "recruiting tanks" video?
Amazing story dude
Three years late on this comment, but I was on Durotan back then too. I remember Scuba! He was everyone's go-to JC. He'd sit on his turtle in front of the bank and we'd all just bring him our gems. I think he was in Leviathan that later turned into Chimera, not that it matters. I feel like Durotan was a weird little bubble for a long time, and I look back those times and cringe a little, the way I do when I look at my high school yearbook. lol
Can relate. Started in Vanilla and was the same way. Played Mage and thought I was the best player in the world because I was dominating meters pressing 1 button. Cleared half of Naxx40 back then.
Maximus Smithblade was my favourite character in Gladiator, dude has such a sweet bhaelt!!
my school closed for a week for deer season around here because if like 40% of your school skips they have to make it a half day for the rest and that happened so much during deer season that they just made it a holiday for our school or something like that anyways i was a nerd for wow when cata came out and me and my friend spent that whole week waking up playing sleeping for like 4 hours his sister would bring us food and drinks and we just grinded then repeat for 7 whole days it was the best week of my life
the funny part is the lalafel paladin as a background
That guild application may be hilarious, but it could have been one of the few things that brought you where you are right now.
Crazy! I was in TM during dragon soul!
Love these videos
The reverse swifty comment had me dying lol.
That story was sick nasty!
OMG, I played on Durotan during ICC, such good memories of wiping on putricide. Was the guild remix? I think they were the main alliance raiding guild in ICC. I was horde side raiding on my mage in Exile
great inspiration
DIESOFCRINGE this was fantastic though, thanks for the laugh
Huh. The end was pretty touching and relatable
Now i know how to apply on limit guild
Still waiting on that history of limit, now liquid video!
As someone that joined TM in MOP. This app actually fit the theme of the guild perfectly at the time. No Kap
My first toon was a fury warrior, I had somehow joined a guild and when the RL would call pre pots I had no clue what he meant. I'd charge in and open with bladestorm on every single fight lol
I like your humility :)
Let’s go max!
I lost it at "sick nasty resto numbers".
I allways had that feeling bro
TheGooch good times still had fun in Firelands back in the day bud.
No memes but when you zoom out. I read it as
THE GOON instead of gooch, seems fitting
I started wow just after tbc released, around the 7min mark when you show the application I got flash backs of something id totally forgotten. More effort was put into those things than applying for a job IRL. And I remember when i was hunter 'class leader' for my guild at the time reviewing applications.
Seeing hunters gemming for armor penetration and asking them to explain why... when they couldn't I would decline them because I knew they were copying top raiders but not understanding they weren't able to cap the stat where it became better then what a hunter normally would 😆😆
I started watching you in highmaul lol I remember this
same feeling when u come back after 12 years
As a Druid and dane owner, i listened to none of this just watched your puppers the entire time :D
22:30 hey wait that's good reference video kekw
Lol I remember you being in Gamble. I was on there in Vigil with Sean trying to poach our apps.
It’s really cool to hear this story man. I played Feral Druid in MoP Thecolortwo-Area 52. I literally was exactly the same way and I remember some of your logs on these fights. I only had a few rank 1 parces but Area 52 had a lot of really good ferals Zetlysm, Untamable etc , spending hours on fluiddruid and simcraft getting the best Rune of Reorigination stats. Fragrance always was the goat tho. I followed your progress in Duality (Zuljin is literally the worst server now) and Ruin and hearing you talk about your feral druid days was highly nostalgic
"maxisthegoatlord" really drove home the yung max vibe
Bwahaha the "oh shit button" x) i used to have that as a retpala in cata x) hahaha
Back in the day you were able to turn on like an animation thingy that showed a graph of the raid dps in recount, that's probably what the real time graph was referring to. Was pretty useless apart from looking cool.
shiiit i remembner that
Love that you show your fur kids too :^) I started when WoW first came out. I would rush home to play/raid. It was magical! Raided with The Evil Empire/We know Girls, now Vigil on Sargeras. High end raiding takes a ton of time. I remember TM lol.
Bro I was in that TM guild during Dragonsoul but there was some crazy crazy drama when I joined so I left pretty quickly. Like super crazy drama.
This has to be the funniest fucking WoW related video I have ever seen
