Coming back to this video after the ending of Dragonflight, cuz the Zin Azshari music was used in the Bel’ameth cutscene… and my god what an amazing choice for the cutscene.
I honestly miss BFA right now compared to Shadowlands. 8.2 was definitely the bright spot of the expansion. The music and art teams hard carry Blizz, but Nazjatar was one of those special places and felt very fateful to explore as a Night Elf. Hope for more like this soon!
2 years later I miss BfA compared to SL and DF, DF defo improved over SL but not over BfA. And neither came any close to how awesome Legion was. Nazjatar should have been released with Cata or Legion. Felt a bit out of place in BfA, in the way it did not get the love it deserved with so many ongoing parallel plots. Would fit like a glove on the other two expansions.
How can you not love World of Warcraft music? It's so genuine and pure. It's always been like that. To keep the music on the highest possible level is so hard, and the Warcraft universe since its very first games has had just the most climatic music you will find in the games.
most of what kept me bouncing back to wow was how appealing its climatic music is. The game itself never gets as perfect as the game's ambience is. Whenever I listen to wow music, something in me rly wants to just go back and play again. It's the dreamy, intense sounds that always have made this game a jewel for me. Not to mention cinematics. Both cinematics and music have been Blizzard's highlights to the planet.
Me too, I feel like its one of the best pieces in WoW. Just so sorrowful but full of a sense of hope with the french horn (euphonium maybe? something awesomely brassy). So well composed.
The clearest part of the things I remembered about Nazjatar is the emotional music with me playing the game,seems telling the tragic story about the queen
I don't know how they do it, but music writers for WoW hit the nail on the head with conveying the atmosphere of each zone perfectly. I mean when you listen to it, you can clearly feel this is soundtrack for an underwater world. To write beautiful musical piece is an achievement itself, but to evoke required emotions and immerse in the environment is beyond my comprehension. It is genius.
This music is already so nostalgic for me. 8.2 was an awesome patch. Hearing this reminds me of much better times, in both the real world and in WoW. Can't believe its been 2 years...
I come a bit late but anyway i will answer your question. As i musician, i can tell each track brings a lot of work to each musician. And practice the track many teams can be frustrating, even boring. But i promise, when you all play the final result... It cant be tell with words. Probably you get hard feelings listening to these music, but play It in live, be part of the song, hits different. Its a feeling that no one can understand untill you are there.
In the words of Queen Azshara: Magnificent. If only the gameplay team could innovate and create in the way the music and art team does. Such a shame that these beautiful and haunting tracks play while we're gathering hydra scales and playing bejeweled lite.
Here's my attempt at speculating the lyrics from Zin-Azshara A. Just spent a solid 5 hours trying to figure this out. My grammar might be a little off, I'm used to handling Thalassian rather than Darnassian Brackets are the 'upper' voices, singing over the top of the main one Darnassian Lyrics: Ash'thero shan'dor Bandu Azshar'dorei Ash'thero shan'dor (Ash'thero na-) Bandu Azshar'dorei (- Zin-Azshari) Ash'thero ana These English lyrics are VERY SPECULATIVE, as we don't know very many official words in Darnassian. I've taken a few liberties with interpretation of certain words as well, specifically 'thero'. Either way, my attempt at translation is below. Feel free to let me know how wrong you think I am! xP English Lyrics: Restore honour to those who have suffered
Prepare to become born of Azshara Restore honour to those who have suffered (Those who have suffered for-) Prepare to become born of Azshara (- Azshara's Glory) Our struggle The lyrics for Zin-Azshari H sound almost the same but they're a little different, and I can't quite make them out entirely. Here is an unfinished interpretation of Zin-Azshari H Darnassian Lyrics: Ash'thero shandor Bandu Azshar'nor Ash'thero shandor Bandu Talah fandu
I'll just clarify I'm not entirely confident on my translations nor my lyrics. There's a few different things I had thought of but made no sense from our known Darnassian text. Here's some rambled thoughts and justifications on my translation that nobody will read! :D "Ash thero'shan dor" made no real sense "Ash'thero shan'do" also made no real sense "Ash'thera shan'dor" is a definite possibility as that word also can be translated to be words such as 'struggle' or 'revenge' or 'war', though the meaning ends up rather similar. "Bandu Asha dorei" Doesn't make much sense either I even tried something outlandish such as "Fandu ash adore" which didn't feel like it'd make much sense, although did make a "real" sentence. Part of why I went with "Azshar'dorei" was that the "Ash" from the first line sounds distinctly different from the "Azsh" in the second, almost like there's a Z in there. Plus it allows me to make a line that makes actual sense and is relevant to Zin'Azshari and Azshara. Same deal with the first line. I'm not sure what relevance honoured teachers(Thero'shan) and honoured students(Shan'do) has to do with the lore of Zin-Azshari, but restoring honour"Shan'dor" definitely sounds relevant, so it felt like a better translation. Meanwhile "Thero" can be interpreted mean someone who struggles or suffers, and "Ash" is similar to 'this' or 'those'. Therefore, "Ash'thero shan'dor". Literally, "Restore honour to those who struggle/suffer". "Talah fandu" in Zin-Azshari H is probably the line I'm most confident on the translation for, and makes perfect sense. If only I could make out the large orchestral section immediately after. Despite all this, I'm fairly certain this is a song about the pain of loss and how much Azshara wanted to save her people, that's clear enough just from listening to it. Or it's all gibberish that actually can't be translated. Blizz have been known to do that before... Most of my translations were gleaned from the WoWWiki speculation page for Darnassian, combined with my grammar knowledge of Thalassian.
there's something really nostalgic about this soundtrack for me. It uses the same sort of sounds as the soundtrack in Finding Nemo lol. It's one of my favourite soundtracks in wow.
The first time I heard Nazjatar's zone music full cycle, it immediately reminded me of Vashj'ir's zone music and how much I loved that zone (eventho the majority hated it because of all that underwater stuff).
One this is for sure. No matter how bad the expansion in the end truly is, the music never goes down. You can literally imagine the hole Expansion the way it suits you. Thats how expandable the music from those makers are
You can feel the tragedy of the elves betrayed by Azshara in the first minutes of the song, so much it makes tears come out. We forget many times that games are made of all aspects of it, and music is possibly the best part of WoW for me. Composers are simply geniuses. Hats off.
In fact I think it's an electric cello. That or it's electronically edited that it's too distant hard to tell, but the same kind of texture is heard in Wonder Woman's theme (Hans Zimmer), which is electric cello
@@MasticaterTheChewer this isn’t an electric cello. and Hans Zimmer didn’t use electric cellos for wonder woman soundtracks. He only used electric cellos in live shows.
I know this is the soundtrack, but how incredible was it first entering the boss room of Queen Azshara... that shit caught me off guard, I was stunned. The artists behind the music and the visuals are some insanely talented people
Usually it takes a lot for "classical"/instrumental music like this to be something that I really enjoy and listen to multiple times, but almost every song on here is fucking great. 12:51 in particular, the little trumpet part, for some reason is an eargasm to me
Can somebody tell me why people don’t like Nazjatar? The music, the story, the visuals and oh my god POEN AND NERI! I love Nazjatar and return there to relax!
For me, it's a level design that you can get lost or stuck somewhere while being on the way for world quests. I often stand above the quest area and drop to death. It's like doing pathfinder is a must for Nazjatar (Or at least have a whistle. That thing saved my life as a noob).
I don’t have flying to this day in Nazjatar ( if you meant mount flying, not flight masters ) and honestly - I don’t miss it. Nazjatar is small and I ( man I have a bad memory tho ) can remember basic paths and alliance camps to avoid. All I need is flight masters ( and my beloved whistle ) and goblin gliders. But yeah, for someone it can be difficult to orientate without flying.
@@akhylla_2671 I'm strange that way too, but I actually like all BFA zones much more than Shadowlands. Maybe because I generally like everything about ocean, islands, pirates and seafaring. I think Nazjatar is amazing too and I don't care about popular opinion.
When I think about what Nazjatar could have been, that's hard for me to totally like it. I was expecting a great underwater city, jewel of the Naga empire (something that could have looked like Suramar with a naga feeling), and all we have is some corals, ruins full of see weeds and a bit of naga buildings. Considering the fact that they had 10 000 years to build an empire, this is pretty disapointing. I however still hope we'll see one day the real Nazjatar, since Azshara is one of my favourite character from the story.
I really love the way you edited these music scores together. It feels like they all “fit” together and tell a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
The names are made up, hopefully fitting though. Enjoy the timestamps :P. 00:00 Royal Palace 02:46 Eternal Beauty 06:48 The Majesty 10:39 Sunstruck Depths 13:45 Into Watery Darkness 16:49 Underwater Village 1 18:55 Underwater Village 2 22:44 Queen's Shadow
I am genuinely upset that such a beautiful zone and awesome storyline (Azshara's corruption and the destruction of Nazjatar) went to waste by being an afterthought of BfA. The music here is perfect parts wonder and sadness. The WoW musical team has never dissapointed.
Going back to this cause despite BFA having plenty of issues in both story and general gameplay, this zone was actually quite fun and the music really set the tone. I enjoyed doing my dailies and what not here for weeks, keeping the zone music on the whole time.
From my point of view, this music is much much better than in the whole battle for dazar'alor patch. This just puts some greatness into the game again.
What the...? This is so beautiful. This is so much better than any music in BFA before that. The music sounds much more cinematic than it usually does in WoW. A lot of it reminds me of music that plays in Hunter Class Order Hall, btw. The only soundtrack this cinematic was probably WoD soundtrack. Oh, and the music sounds way more classical sometimes (like New World Symphony) than it usually does in WoW.
I thought there is no good music in WoW anymore. Good to see it didn't die out completely. The Zin-Azshari tracks, parts of a single theme, are all top league. In Legion, the only track I liked A LOT and would play dozens of times was A World Divided. WoD in contrast, had quite a few high-quality tracks, including Talador zone music, Grommash Hellscream theme, Wolf at the Gates, or Malach.
13:46 this is probably my favourite, i love the cymbals (or whatever they are) starting at 14:09 and the cello coming in at 14:50. It just sounds so calming, and that trumpet at 15:56 aswell, amazing. 16:50 is also fantastic, all the music is just amazing here..
@@codrutl It only plays during the scenario where you rescue Baine from Orgrimmar. Sad that it wasn't used for anything else, like the Eternal Palace raid.
The soundtrack "Nazjatar General 1H", I love how it reuses a lot of the musical elements from Vashj'ir The soundtrack "Nazjatar General 1A" reuses a lot of the musical elements of Argus in Legion
Yeah, it's been a while since I've had a video like this. The last vid that did this well was my Iron Horde one from forever ago :o Anyway, thanks for the kind comment :)
Because they don't exist when the album is released. They definitely need like a part II album. It's unfortunate....the only time they released patch music from a previous expansion was the TBC soundtrack. They included a few tracks from the later patches of vanilla like Naxx & AQ, although the AQ music was used in Zangarmarsh anyways.
@@Ryan_hey yeah it sucks cause a lot of the time some of the best music is IN the patches. Seriously Ulduar + Icecrown, Dragon Soul (as shitty as that raid was the music was amazing in it) the variations on Garrosh and Jaina's themes in the various MoP patches and the Y'shaarj letmotiff's, Argus, Nazjatar. it's all great stuff.
I really don't know what all the hate was about I really loved BFA raiding, I loved N'zoth, I loved the lore and I really enjoyed the corruption system I had a great time *edit*: oh the music - this is probably my favourite one from wow ive listened to it so many times.
The hate was about all the systems they added, including Corruption like you mentioned, but not the effects themselves, but the way the corruption gear was obtained, it was way too RNG considering some Corruptions literally increased your DPS by like 30%. Blizzard did add a vendor for them after months, but the thing was that it was on a rotation, meaning only certain ones were up on the vendor every 4 days or so, for some reason, so you literally just had to wait there to have the chance to buy your corruption... Other systems like Azerite Armor, Azerite reforging, azerite grinding, just everything about Azerite was bad, although at the end of Bfa it got improved, but the developers sold Azerite Traits as something as impactful as Legendaries or Tier Set bonuses, which was not true for 90% of the specs, most were mediocre at best with no real change to your gameplay, like having the last ring on your Azerite gear literally have traits that increased your versatility or leech by 70.. creative... Also features like Island Expeditions and Warfronts which were main features of the expansion, proved to be some of the most boring content in the game where you mindlessly killed mobs until the bar on your screen filled up or until you reached the final boss, hence them already abandoning Warfronts after the first patch of Bfa and not adding new ones, despite having planned to have atleast 2 more. Also most of your DPS consisted of random procs and corruption effects which felt awful to play because even if someone played with the exact same gear as you, they could literally have double your damage because their Infinite Stars or Twilight Devastation procced more, didn't feel good, especially in raid... PvP was also terrible, every season they added some annoying insane absorb trinket or item which just felt awful to play against because everyone had them, plus Azerite traits which gave Absorb shields every 30 seconds. Also it felt like hitting my buttons did no damage outside of cooldowns. That and the constant absorb shields made it feel absolutely awful. Then skip forward to 8.3 where you can literally just get randomly one shot because some guy stacked 300 corruptions worth of Infinite Stars. The only good system in Bfa was Essences, they added dozens of new abilities and passives in one patch that were fun and they encouraged players to go do all types of content to get them, including me who farmed Random BGs for 4 days just to get my Blood of the Enemy which was op on my Outlaw rogue. Funny thing how you could change Essences in a rested area just by clicking on a different one, but then these developers insisted on having "meaningful choices" in Shadowlands AKA not being able to change Covenant abilities or Conduits without some dumb penalty. Though all those did get changed when they got that massive lawsuit on them, funny how things work huh.
i played this patch the most out of every other. nostalgia started to kick in even for this. miss those days.
Nazjatar and mechagon really were awesome zones. Its a shame everyone hated them because they had to play them for essences.
same here. 8.2 never gets enough love. such wonderful zones.
same, probably my favorite patch ever, amazing music and asthetics!
. @Barrywilkins152 Nazjatar yes, Mechagon not so much.
Being in the night elf part of Nazjatar makes me miss Suramar so much
so glad i'm not the only one
Or Azsuna
And The past of Aszuna
That's a small fraction of the ancient capital city of Zin-Azshari, of the Kaldorei Empire
Surumar city was so cozy, wish it could have lasted longer. The elf parts really makes me miss it too x3
Coming back to this video after the ending of Dragonflight, cuz the Zin Azshari music was used in the Bel’ameth cutscene… and my god what an amazing choice for the cutscene.
Despite everything "bad" blizzard has done with World of Warcraft, the music they create has NEVER been a letdown!
I would say that they had a letdown with the second half of WoD and the fact that they stopped composing a proper amount of songs for every raid.
@@63Limar because they moved everything to help Overwatch, the music team wasn't even there to help WoW. Not their fault.
@@wskylar21 well, I was talking about the game delivering music content, not blizzard music team being bad.
@@jasonruss1365 I really think WOD was blizzard going fuck this shit at some time in development
original comment
Blizzard's art/music team has NEVER let me down in a single xpac. They are just amazing.
the other teams tho...
What a good joke, they have been catastrophic for a long time on the musical aspects of the game. BFA and SL make you piss blood through your ears.
DF and TWiW's art is mostly shit.
@@Koneria___
Yeah, there are very few good songs in SL. I barely remember BFA's OST. DF and TWiW are outright atrocious(ly generic).
The first part really makes me feel sympathy for those who died during the sundering. Their whole world, everything they knew, swallowed by the sea.
*chaotic screaming and crying while the waves hit the stone buildings*
Their whole world, not they are whole world
@@Clystor85 Your world was also swallowed by sea. Surely your geography teacher didnt tell you that...
I honestly miss BFA right now compared to Shadowlands. 8.2 was definitely the bright spot of the expansion. The music and art teams hard carry Blizz, but Nazjatar was one of those special places and felt very fateful to explore as a Night Elf. Hope for more like this soon!

Sometimes, when you look at the skybox just right, it looks like water rippling far above your head.
What a fantastic zone.
10:40 Naga Pride is a masterpiece...Remember playing BFA and being blown away by it.

Is it terrible that I enjoy the bejeweled lite (and the leyline uncrossing). I think it is because they are so quick to complete.
My feelings exactly. I'm always torn between loving wow and never having the wits to go back to such shallow gaming compared to its musical depth.
22:45 - 23:30 is so deep and powerful, a creeping majestic anger. I adore it so much.
Beauty, pain, and magic is all I can describe the first few tracks with
Here's my attempt at speculating the lyrics from Zin-Azshara A. Just spent a solid 5 hours trying to figure this out.
My grammar might be a little off, I'm used to handling Thalassian rather than Darnassian
Brackets are the 'upper' voices, singing over the top of the main one

Ash'thero shan'dor

Best WoW music ever. The person who composed 16:50 till the end deserves a medal. It's on the same level as Yoko Shimomura.

It's 2021 and I still come back to this music. BFA was bad, but I genuinlely really enjoyed 8.2 .

22:45 turns into an absolute banger. I have parked myself in Nazjatar and stood still to let that song play out countless times.

For me, it's a level design that you can get lost or stuck somewhere while being on the way for world quests. I often stand above the quest area and drop to death. It's like doing pathfinder is a must for Nazjatar (Or at least have a whistle. That thing saved my life as a noob).
It was a pain in the ass to get around without flying
I don’t have flying to this day in Nazjatar ( if you meant mount flying, not flight masters ) and honestly - I don’t miss it. Nazjatar is small and I ( man I have a bad memory tho ) can remember basic paths and alliance camps to avoid. All I need is flight masters ( and my beloved whistle ) and goblin gliders. But yeah, for someone it can be difficult to orientate without flying.
@@akhylla_2671 I'm strange that way too, but I actually like all BFA zones much more than Shadowlands. Maybe because I generally like everything about ocean, islands, pirates and seafaring. I think Nazjatar is amazing too and I don't care about popular opinion.
When I think about what Nazjatar could have been, that's hard for me to totally like it. I was expecting a great underwater city, jewel of the Naga empire (something that could have looked like Suramar with a naga feeling), and all we have is some corals, ruins full of see weeds and a bit of naga buildings. Considering the fact that they had 10 000 years to build an empire, this is pretty disapointing. I however still hope we'll see one day the real Nazjatar, since Azshara is one of my favourite character from the story.
I really love the way you edited these music scores together. It feels like they all “fit” together and tell a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
The names are made up, hopefully fitting though. Enjoy the timestamps :P.
00:00 Royal Palace
02:46 Eternal Beauty
06:48 The Majesty
10:39 Sunstruck Depths
13:45 Into Watery Darkness
16:49 Underwater Village 1
18:55 Underwater Village 2
22:44 Queen's Shadow
They fit perfectly :)
I'd suggest a change for the first. Rather than "Royal Palace" you should consider the change to "Zin-Azshari".
@@VeryDeathlyShiny I agree. Zin-Azshari kind of reflects the beauty of the Kaldorei empire as it is represented in Nazjatar.
this song gives me shivers ... all that sadness ...
I am genuinely upset that such a beautiful zone and awesome storyline (Azshara's corruption and the destruction of Nazjatar) went to waste by being an afterthought of BfA. The music here is perfect parts wonder and sadness. The WoW musical team has never dissapointed.
Afterthought? It was the mini expansion of BFA, one of the best zones ever!
@@muSPKwow It should've been its own expansion though.
@@alextrill1746 Indeed!
Going back to this cause despite BFA having plenty of issues in both story and general gameplay, this zone was actually quite fun and the music really set the tone. I enjoyed doing my dailies and what not here for weeks, keeping the zone music on the whole time.
Wow, I honestly wasn’t expecting this, it’s sooo hauntingly beautiful!
Cant believe im saying this. I miss bfa so much...
The music that plays in the city ruins is downright tragic and beautiful.
First thing I thought when I went to Nazjatar?...
...
...
... you know it'd be *awesome* to swim through this....... :-D
Can we already feel nostalgic???
Long standing and well established, and mystery feeling about this music, goddamn love it……
Magnificent...
Why am i feel nostalgia to this theme
I loved this expansion I remember how I was dreaming about what am gonna do the next day there 😄
From my point of view, this music is much much better than in the whole battle for dazar'alor patch. This just puts some greatness into the game again.
6:15 to 6:20 that little part is my absolute favourite
What the...? This is so beautiful. This is so much better than any music in BFA before that. The music sounds much more cinematic than it usually does in WoW. A lot of it reminds me of music that plays in Hunter Class Order Hall, btw. The only soundtrack this cinematic was probably WoD soundtrack. Oh, and the music sounds way more classical sometimes (like New World Symphony) than it usually does in WoW.
Absolutely stunning. Beautiful hair raising work.
I thought there is no good music in WoW anymore. Good to see it didn't die out completely. The Zin-Azshari tracks, parts of a single theme, are all top league. In Legion, the only track I liked A LOT and would play dozens of times was A World Divided. WoD in contrast, had quite a few high-quality tracks, including Talador zone music, Grommash Hellscream theme, Wolf at the Gates, or Malach.
This music piece right here. Probably the best thing that came out of this expansion.
A silent version would fit very well with the Night Elves, if ever they will have a new home
I agree. Would very much like an azshara style cloth robe for night elves too not the dang naga style xD
13:46 this is probably my favourite, i love the cymbals (or whatever they are) starting at 14:09 and the cello coming in at 14:50. It just sounds so calming, and that trumpet at 15:56 aswell, amazing. 16:50 is also fantastic, all the music is just amazing here..
22:46 damn
this one attracted me immediately
i wish i could get this alone
Bobby Sandez reminds me of the soundtrack from “westworld”
what's the soundtrack name? That's dope to hear. i pump it high when i'm questing in nazjatar.
@@eliovega4711 This World (Westworld Soundtrack)
I can help you get JUST that part if you wish :) waiting for your reply here to send you my mail.
Yuri Viroj I thought the same thing when I heard it for the first time.
Came here looking exactly for this. Didn't trust your favourite part was the same as mine at first, but I tried it and it was worth it.
14:49 hits hard.
It sounds so peaceful..
In reality you are being mowed down by 20 nagas 😂
you also pulled the elite pack. and two members of the opposing faction is trying to use you to get an essence
*”For the Queen “ intensifies *
I play DH so I'm the one killing them
You mean 40 hordes ganking you.
I like how N'zoth keeps sending us employment offers. Wavering between impressed and insulted that I resist.
Nazjatar gives serious bioshock vibes and I love it
Thank you very mcuh, I was hoping to find these specific tracks (the nice ones) as they are really amazing. Top lad
Najatar music, is the TOP music done by blizzard, after that comes Anduin theme, change my mind
@1:10 imagine the people looking at the giant wave coming to destroy their world, their civilisation, their children...
It was sad 😥
I can't forgive them that they didn't bring Tyrande to Nazjatar, to Azshara. But the very first track is magnificent and so... night elvish.
Ugh I love this
9:33 oh my god never heard such a beautiful thing in my life, unfortunately good things last short
Wait a sec. I never heard that in-game. This is the first time I hear that theme.
@@codrutl It only plays during the scenario where you rescue Baine from Orgrimmar. Sad that it wasn't used for anything else, like the Eternal Palace raid.
Really brilliant soundtrack couldn't be better
20:00 the piano is so good.
The song really conveys that feeling of wanting to find ancient beauty.
El soundtrack de world of Warcraft nunca decepciona.
2:48 me encanta, me trae mucho sentimiento!!!
13:46 MVP for me... i love that part specially when it reaches 14:50 +
Reminds of Mac'aree music from Legion
It really reminds me of a film song. cant think of it though. And when the violin kicks in. its on the tip of my tounge!
It reminds me of Westworld!!
Seems to be the perfect - Mad, but very powerful Queen - song a fantasy game can wish for
16:50 оh my god.....i not play in bfa, but this moment its perfecttttt
Nice background! And cool music, obviously.
The soundtrack "Nazjatar General 1H", I love how it reuses a lot of the musical elements from Vashj'ir
The soundtrack "Nazjatar General 1A" reuses a lot of the musical elements of Argus in Legion
13:45 💙 Miss BfA, especially patch 8.2, it was great
I am happy for you Yodragon, finally you got some views.
Yeah, it's been a while since I've had a video like this. The last vid that did this well was my Iron Horde one from forever ago :o
Anyway, thanks for the kind comment :)
Wow this soundtrack is absolutely beautiful
Dear gods... you feel the tragedy. This is just amazing.
God damn it! can i please not tear up every god damn time i enter zin azshari in game please?! Q.Q
Sir Buljo oh god. I’m glad it’s not me.
Man, I would really like to know why Blizzard doesn't add the future updates soundtrack onto the Expansion album!!!
Because they don't exist when the album is released. They definitely need like a part II album.
It's unfortunate....the only time they released patch music from a previous expansion was the TBC soundtrack. They included a few tracks from the later patches of vanilla like Naxx & AQ, although the AQ music was used in Zangarmarsh anyways.
@@Ryan_hey yeah it sucks cause a lot of the time some of the best music is IN the patches. Seriously Ulduar + Icecrown, Dragon Soul (as shitty as that raid was the music was amazing in it) the variations on Garrosh and Jaina's themes in the various MoP patches and the Y'shaarj letmotiff's, Argus, Nazjatar. it's all great stuff.
9:34
So beautiful
Blast BFA all you like, but it ain't the music's fault........WOW
*Thanks.*
I really don't know what all the hate was about I really loved BFA raiding, I loved N'zoth, I loved the lore and I really enjoyed the corruption system I had a great time *edit*: oh the music - this is probably my favourite one from wow ive listened to it so many times.
The hate was about all the systems they added, including Corruption like you mentioned, but not the effects themselves, but the way the corruption gear was obtained, it was way too RNG considering some Corruptions literally increased your DPS by like 30%. Blizzard did add a vendor for them after months, but the thing was that it was on a rotation, meaning only certain ones were up on the vendor every 4 days or so, for some reason, so you literally just had to wait there to have the chance to buy your corruption...
Other systems like Azerite Armor, Azerite reforging, azerite grinding, just everything about Azerite was bad, although at the end of Bfa it got improved, but the developers sold Azerite Traits as something as impactful as Legendaries or Tier Set bonuses, which was not true for 90% of the specs, most were mediocre at best with no real change to your gameplay, like having the last ring on your Azerite gear literally have traits that increased your versatility or leech by 70.. creative...
Also features like Island Expeditions and Warfronts which were main features of the expansion, proved to be some of the most boring content in the game where you mindlessly killed mobs until the bar on your screen filled up or until you reached the final boss, hence them already abandoning Warfronts after the first patch of Bfa and not adding new ones, despite having planned to have atleast 2 more.
Also most of your DPS consisted of random procs and corruption effects which felt awful to play because even if someone played with the exact same gear as you, they could literally have double your damage because their Infinite Stars or Twilight Devastation procced more, didn't feel good, especially in raid... PvP was also terrible, every season they added some annoying insane absorb trinket or item which just felt awful to play against because everyone had them, plus Azerite traits which gave Absorb shields every 30 seconds. Also it felt like hitting my buttons did no damage outside of cooldowns. That and the constant absorb shields made it feel absolutely awful. Then skip forward to 8.3 where you can literally just get randomly one shot because some guy stacked 300 corruptions worth of Infinite Stars.
The only good system in Bfa was Essences, they added dozens of new abilities and passives in one patch that were fun and they encouraged players to go do all types of content to get them, including me who farmed Random BGs for 4 days just to get my Blood of the Enemy which was op on my Outlaw rogue. Funny thing how you could change Essences in a rested area just by clicking on a different one, but then these developers insisted on having "meaningful choices" in Shadowlands AKA not being able to change Covenant abilities or Conduits without some dumb penalty. Though all those did get changed when they got that massive lawsuit on them, funny how things work huh.
@@slinttu1378 I see your points, yes I remember the island expeditions being underwhelming at best by the way. Thanks for your time to clarify that.
amazing soundtrack!
beautiful
This is so epic...
Some places i was like "Westworld"!
14:50 is the greatest music ever appeared in WoW
"Acheteeeeeeeezzzzz le saaaaaaaaaavon, Acheteeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz leeeee savoooooon" = Voix 1; Contrechant : "Le saaaaachet rieurrrrrrrrr!" 3:00
