No intro for 10 minutes explaining what you're gonna talk about in the remaining 2 minutes. Elune bless you, Hiru. You're the TH-camr we need, but not the one we deserve.
James Bridgman is an ass kisser
Stop with this stupid ass expression not the one we need one we deserve or any other variation. You fkn parrot people just pick up random stuff on the webs and repeat them without thinking and not noticing that you write nonesens! Go to hell kid

You didn't mention the main purpose of Lord Kazzak in vanilla WoW: kiting him to Stormwind...
Bruh imagine that happening again
It's been mentioned plenty.
@@heroharchiver7469 no it has not
Or doing the bubble burst and killing many players as a paladin.
th-cam.com/video/hImGTLTHZaE/w-d-xo.html
You forgot the first world boss, Hogger on level 1 characters.
And Gamon for Horde.
I'll never forget oondasta. I started in wrath so to see 4-5 FULL raid groups trying to kill the thing was a spectical to behold. I remeber he had like 858million and galleon in contrast was like 3 mil.
Holy shit I got Vietnam flashbacks from Oondasta. I remember the endless battles with the other faction for tag of the boss, while the boss also casually oneshots people.
Honestly it was fun, the last real time a world boss felt really engaging and competitive. I didnt like MoP that much, but it was better than Wod, legion and BFA imo
Just wanted to say your videos got me playing wow again after not playing since wrath. All hail Gunther Arcanus!
Glad you are enjoying the videos, and enjoying the game!
Yeah this video was great
lol same :P
Buddy Prairie and wow right now is sooooo bad.
@@galenbjorn443 yeah its alot diffrent then I remeber but Im having alot of fun soloing old raids
I actually never got the legendary cloak in MoP despite playing the entire expansion. The way I fought Ordos was shooting myself to him with the meteor toy that dropped from one of the rares there.
Sadly the game kicks you out of the zone if you don't have the cloack...
@@yoman8027
At first it did, but after a while, it didnt, I never managed to complete the cloak since I didnt had friends to run raids, and my luck was abysmal.
@@XochiCh To this day it kicks you. I've tried to fight him and still got kicked.
I was almost finished with my legendary cloak before they removed the line
That was fun to listen to. It was enjoyable. A bit of history and what is current. Till your next one. Have a great day.
one thing not mentioned is that it was common place for there to be 2-3 full raid groups to fight oondasta which is part of the reason blizz nerfed him because people overcame difficulty with zerg tactics.
Honestly MoP had the best version of World Bosses in my opinon.
Not too easy, but not too hard either. (I Mean, Sha of Anger could wipe a too eager raidgroup)
They should bring back that system, instead of the one we have know, as it honestly makes World bosses a joke.
Oondasta would wipe people left and right.
@@Jester-15 That is what people need xD
Mop is the best if not a close second best xpac other than wrath
mattthew raugust MoP was great, amazing class design, fun raids, nice areas.
@@erichall090909 yeah but people shit on it cuz panda and oriental theme
History of raid/dungeon lockouts and timers would be a fun one, although overall as a system it hasn’t changed too much since Vanilla.
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says "World Boss" and you will have a world boss drinking game. I think its reaaaly hard.
I always found mounts and cool transmoggable weapons the best and most worthwhile rewards for farming a boss. The mount especially because you get to meet people and chat while you wait.
You start to feel less like an online rpg and more like a massively multiplayer online rpg. :)
This is my favorite video of you now. Very interesting as a player who hasn’t played since wod
Your vids are tip top quality. Great voice and great solid info. Big fan of your vids!
Good old Oondasta. I was there when he spawned for the first time on our server. Both the Alliance and Horde had a full 40 man raid group with them. We both wiped about 3 times each trying to figure out the fight. Eventually the Alliance got the server first kill on their 4th try. Would be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little bit jealous, but it was still one of the best times I had in MoP.
This is why I will play classic wow over the bad game that is BFA. Failing over and over again, to succeed in the end, is very rewarding. Are you going to play Classic this summer?
@@Boya92 I'll most likely be giving it a good crack. Unless l have to pay for a separate subscription, then it will be down to which l enjoy more.
@@kelseyparrott3166 I think they've confirmed that your WoW subscription will include retail wow and classic wow, but I'm not 100% sure. That would be the best way to do it in my opinion. Personally i find retail WoW to be boring and bad, but for those who don't, it is a great opportunity to switch between them (y)
You forgot to mention the whale shark. Added in Cataclysm, it was a world boss in the underwater zone that carried no loot, but gave an achievement for beating.
I just had an idea for the most trolliest world boss ever.
1. One whose stats increase by 100% for each player that attacks it. Considering each world boss will have at least 40 players attacking it, making it impossible to kill and can kill you in one hit.
2. This boss can kill npcs, and when it does, it takes a week for them to respawn. This includes Quest Givers, Faction Leaders, Guards etc.
3. It roams all across Azeroth, making it hard to track down (and no indication on where it is).
4. When it kills you, it not only breaks all of your armor, but also takes 50% of your gold and inflicts a debuff that reduces all of your attributes such as health and mana to 1. And it last for 3 hours, and cannot be cleansed.
And finally, IF you finally kill it, it only drops 1 copper.
uh what's trollish about a completely broken NPC with no chance of defeating it?
@@mathews1451 Because Blizzard will hype it up to be the ultimate enemy to beat, only for you to get the worst reward from it.
most important lore charcters in low level dungeons like the final boss of blackfathom deeps that the old gods themself ealk about him
Omg I remember when Oondasta first spawned on my server, it was a sunday afternoom and literally THE WHOLE SERVER was there, no joke. I still havent seem that many people together since that day... It was so much fun, life long memory
You got one thing wrong tho. Pandaria world bosses were raid tags at the start of the expansion. I clearly remember fighting over a galleon raid tag for 30 minutes at the start of the expac. They got changed during MoP at some point tho.
Yeah, I remember tag sharing. One guy from the tagging raid had to leave that raid, join another raid, then that new raid would also get the tag.
and the point on the sha/galleon mount, the mounts were bugged and weren't actually in the loot tables until like 5.1/5.2
@@Acq49 only Heavenly onyx mount didnt drop. It wasnt buffed slightly, it was finally just added in. People realized when they checked the armory and asked Blizzard to link a profile with it.
Top-notch video like always!
The only thing I'd like to add is, that at the beginning of MoP, worldbosses, specifically Galleon worked almost like Vanilla worldbosses. Except the shared tag, he spawned roughly once a week and in the first weeks ours and other guilds had scouts up almost 24/7 to check when he would spawn. I'll never forget my first Galleon kill on our server at around 4 am with collaboration from 2 other guilds and receiving 2 (!!!) items from him, one regular and one with bonus roll! xD
Later they changed all MoP worldbosses, including Galleon, to have a 15 minute respawn timer and started the era of free-loot-chance-per-week bosses.
I still have PTSD from kruul’s magetower,thanks for reminding me hiru,hate you too
Same here, but I kinda miss the mage tower tho.
same here, and i had to do it on 3 characters, of which 2 had terrible gear, god i hated doing it on the dk
"ARROGANT FOOLS! I AM EMPOWERED BY THE SOULS OF A THOUSAND CONQUERED WORLDS! EVEN A FRACTION OF MY POWER WILL BE ENOUGH TO DESTROY YOU!""NOT SO FAST!"
I knew a guy who killed him on all of the tanks.
@@numnaut1314 i did all 36 magetowers....
Oh, I remember Highlord Kruul alright. I could do with never hearing "ARROGANT FOOOOOOOOOLS!" ever again in this lifetime.
I wish Blizzard would add difficult world bosses that drop heroic level gear while still keeping the easy ones for the casuals. Easy world bosses just feel so wrong.
Dank Memes 420 I wish blizzard would just re-introduce difficulty elements from earlier WoW. Difficult world bosses, difficult quest chains requiring the completion of multiple dungeons and raids, etc. High-end keystones and mythic raids are good, but they give nothing but gear that gets irrelevant the moment next major patch drops.
MrAntonny195 Trans-mogs boi. No gear is Irrelevant
Just gonna say I love there is no 2 minute intro, and then just 8 minuted of filler. There is no filler here, everything is worth saying, and there is no intro to pad the runtime. You are a good honest guys Hiru.
I will never feel the same way about crafting since TBC. Getting my lion heart executioner was such a cool moment.
10 major lore characters that are just random dungeon bosses
#JusticeForEranikus
Extremely Buff Peasant and loken
I still remember my jaw dropping when anub'arak turned out to be a 5 man boss. The trial didn't heal those wounds.
I hate so much that people complain about hard world bosses. A hard world boss is quite possibly the most fun content wow has ever had. The best memories I have of MoP are Oondasta at launch. What pvp/pve madness. So much fun. Then people complain and ruin it.
Oondasta was so much fun. I would love to see something like that again.
Great video, btw!
So I remember with Ordos, if the Crane Statue was up for the event in which you launch up into the air and fly to platforms to unlock boxes, you could use it and fly over to where Ordos was.
The two initial world boss in WoD didn't swap for weeks on end. During Legion when I decided to go back to get the Pepe whistle, which requires killing both bosses with the bird on your head, it went on for months with just Drov.
9:22 you can still get to this mountain by flying outside of the boundaries of the island, using a flying mount to fly towards the island, dismounting and cast Slow Fall on yourself, and then just hover into the mountain, dispelling Slow Fall whenever you needed to. I used this to do everything available on the island without having to do all the other stuff.
That Arcano Crystal made me think, you could make a top overpowered items.
Thanks, nice video.
I thought of the exact same thing when he mentioned it.
i watched ur channel since 2017. Its still the best channel out there
Oh man, seeing that sea of skeletons by oondasta... had to pause the video as the flashbacks came flooding in XD
Yup.
Yeeeeeup.
World of Warcraft is a game that changed through the years because blizzard listened to its community. From the first complains in Vanilla, to this day, the community brought the game easier and easier, then wanted it harder and then they complained, then it was too easy, and complained again, sometimes there is too much again like legion legendaries, pandaria rep farm or in this case ondoasta, cata bosses, TBC trash mobs, WoD raid mechanics, classic world pvp. Those are just an example of every "bad" thing people complained about that NOW they take back, because only NOW they realize it was good. The azerite and the loot system is the representation of bad complaining and untold compliments.
Truth right there ^
Tuesday afternoons were some of the best and worst days in my WoW experience. "Strategically" doing my weekly herb farming near world bosses and scouting stuff out in our guild's alliance chat. Finally finding one and rallying the troops, often finding 2 or 3 other guilds staging up, shooting the shit. And then killing the boss only to find my Nightmare Blade didn't drop for the 50th time... Still, some of the most superb experiences in the game to date imo.
Supreme Lord Kazzak and his Mighty Butter-Knife of Doom.
I like this dude’s videos, no intro he just like “world bosses were cool af”
First line haha
the concept of "we don't want you to farm a boss after we release some new raids" is why I stopped taking WoW seriously.
I still play it because I really enjoy it, but there is no reason for me to get really into it.
After all, my character becomes obsolete when a new patch hits, so why bother? All that matters is iLvl, and that fluctuates from expansion to expansion as well.
REALLY glad Classic WoW is a thing, and I can finally invest time into my characters again!
Teremus the Devourer gets no love for being a "skull" level outdoor boss for 10-15 players.
MMO players in a nutshell
Equipment that provides a gameplay benefit: "I Sleep"
Cosmetic items that don't really do anything: "Real sh*t"
I still feel bad for Azurgos in vanilla. Glad he got dealt a much better hand later on. Especially in Legion where you team up with him to get Aluneth lmao
In Guild Wars 2 there are also World Bosses that spawn in certain areas at given times that are not player restricted so anyone who hits it gets the loot in the end, but they also act as Dungeon and Raid Bosses, but with not that many mechanics but instead having a high health pool and heavy damage against anyone who stands in their AoE areas.
Also great video 👍
I can’t tell you how many times azuergos almost got killed before our faction was wiped out and we’d return the favor lol... I still remember sprinting from graveyards to keep the thing tagged 😂
This un-ironically sums up wow then vs now perfectly.
"Very hard and competitive"
"Something you just do once a week"
Not talking about raid bosses. Talking about THE ENTIRE GAME.
You never raided huh?
"Kruul"
... The words "not so fast" echoed in my mind...
*TRIGGERED*
AHHHHHHHHHH.
The background music from 11 minutes onward is giving me elevated blood pressure
Mop had the best world bosses imo
Agreed
Take it a bit further. Mop was the best expansion.
@@Jester-15 yep
@@Jester-15 nahhh Cata was
The list is missing Thuunderan from classic. Needed an item to summon and required 40 people to get thunderfury.
its not a world boss, just a very big summoned quest boss
Mounts are a great incentive, I am still trying to get an Onyxian Drake mount.
I remember Kazzak killing a bunch of people in SW and ORG, was it because of an event or did someone pull him all the way to those places? I'll never forget those massive amounts of skeletons everywhere...
pulled him lol
I remember someone pulled Shandris Feathermoon on my server and I just missed it too cuz there was just a litter of skeletons near the front entrance
I think the mechanics of how world bosses work is synonymous with the changes in game itself.
Used to be a huge challenge and a big effort, now something you dont even have to try at.
This vid was the embodiment of the phrase "They just don't make 'em like they use to..."
How about a video, about something involving WOW's arena history, like how there used to be teams, but not anymore, or how ratged BGs came about, or how pvp gear was from Vanilla, to how it works now
May be abit too much mechanical... A lot of ui and system changes, which may just come off boring.
My first raid boss was chi-ji. It was my first time on the timeless isle and I just saw people fighting her.
I was never into raiding so I was proud when I got an achievement for killing all the cellestialls.
i can honestly say i've waited for the dragons of nightmares to spawn for 10 years
the bc bosses dropped much better gear than karazhan level, even better than gruul / magth more on par with t5
It was on the level of zulaman which was like tier 4.5
Man this is really interesting. I started Lineage 2 in 2004 and played WoW a few days, but stuck with L2 for years instead and didn't come back to WoW until Wrath. It's fascinating though because L2 had a LOT of the hardcore vanilla WoW mechanics like fighting over world bosses only in L2 it was NEVER IMPROVED. When I left in 2009 to play WoW, world bosses in l2 were exactly like classic WoW's STILL.
Really like MoP and you mentioning Oondasta gave me some memories ^^
And there we are in shadowlands where world bosses do not even give loot anymore.
Sheesh
Were the dragons of nightmare still there in wrath?, i am sure i saw the one in duskwood while leveling for the first time. It was probably my best memory of my early wow days and i would always go back there with my troll hunter way to low level just to see it. But just want to make sure im not just an idiot who doesnt remember things well
they where removed in cata, and yes was the same for me when i saw that dragon for the first time and the raped my ass xD
Love your vids, brother. Next one should be something about professions, like 'History of Professions' or something. Just a suggestion. Cheers!
We had full on wars over raid bosses in vanilla. Sometimes you would have 4-5-6 guilds from horde there and same amount from alliance side. It got out of hand regularly.
i really miss Mists of Pandaria
That expansion was the shit, and i was like a god towards the end.
Never heard someone pronounce Azuregos that way before.
As a hardcore pvper I looooved world bosses. So fun and community involving! Raids and counter raids etc. So fun.
Are the mounts you mentioned in Mop and Wod soulbound or sellable?
Soulbound.
I do remember some stunts in Vanilla with world bosses other than Kazzak being unleashed into Stormwind.
Waiting for a raid to set up and try to tag the thing before they hit it and then run for cover, hoping that the raid would have committed enough that they'd be stuck fighting it and making the attempt due to higher aggro. A straight up asshole move, but one for free, good loot and the annoyance of the raiding group...especially if they're from the other faction
im actually sad that you dont want oondasta 2.0, oondasta was one of the only times I felt world bosses were actually fun
When you click on a random wow video, that pops in your feed and you suddenly feel the urge to play yugioh
Not sure if he was a world boss but what about the one dude in the middle of Duskwood who grew in size the more damage he took in vanilla?
that echidna hydra in wod drops a pet. when that zone was current content, those hydras were also my favorite hunter pet. they hit mobs like a truck.
Cool video
I suggests a Top 10 for the next video like top 10 annoying macanics or top 10 Dungeons or top 10 glyphs or whatever. It's up you after all quil
Top 10 dungeons has been done
Odin Gameplay it's just a suggestion quil
It's a good vid.. But there are some bosses missing from Cata, that was bearly found or seen however, there was the Gigant thing from Twilight Highlands, the Titan from Uldum, and there also was a "real" Whale Shark" world boss in Vasj'hier (fogot the names of them however, been ages ago I've seen and tracked them down last.) But hey if people can tehre is still good gold in some of them items from them. :D :)
With that said awesome vid.
They were the rare 5 man bosses mentioned in the video. They were not actual world bosses, and were just rares that required 5 players to kill
And the whale shark dropepd no loot
Actually false information regarding Doomlord Kazzak and Doomwalker. Karazhan gear was itemlvl 115 while the gear from Doomlord Kazzak and Doomwalker was itemlvl 120 and had the nice bonus of not having their stats wasted on stamina which in result made their offensive capabilities equal or better than stuff you would get from SSC and TK. Good video though. :)
Marv Lü ilvl didnt exist back then
@@Lampaluile Not directly visible, no. But it did exist and it was what determined the amounts of stats an item would have.
I got a titanforged unstable arcanocrystal early in Legion and only replaced it well into the final months of the xpac. Was funny, I was always looking for an upgrade because it lowered my gearscore since people only cared about that.
Dude, Ordos requiring the Legendary Cloak was a straight attunement.
Sure, was easy enough to get the cloak, especially if you started at the beginning of MoP. But coming back to WoW at 5.4, it did take ~12 weeks to complete the entire chain. Most of the parts of the quest were hard gated behind Raid resets to get the materials for it.
On warlords of dreanor cut content, the spore infection/plant invasion never went anywhere despite it still existing behind stormwinds mage tower, an the old god minion's the pale orcs that did show up brefly during the raid highmaul can be found whispering madness to a rock giant boss in the old ones language but then nothing after that.
Which are the pvp servers? And can I migrate a character to or from them?
You can use levitate or another slow fall to get to a lower ledge from the bridge for ordos. Nowadays the cloak isn't necessary. Unless he had an insta kill without it but I can't remember. I was running around killing all the mobs around him without the cloak for a few weeks before I got it.
I wasn't lazy in MoP, I just didn't enjoy questing and ran dungeons exclusively back then.
I remember on a Pserver, my guild and I went after Kazzak.
But the horde also wanted him, and some of our members took too long to get to us.
It .... it was a fucking slaughter. His area was just skeletons. As soon as we tagged him, the horde would jump in and kill us. As soon as they tagged him, we did the same.
Eventually, neither of us got him because everyone's gear was shot
you don't like my idea of "least obstructive/annoying mounts" which the headless horsemens mount would be an easy #1 or #2. Also when you did you "unique mounts" video i don't remember seeing the mechanohog but i know you covered the heirloom mount which is basically the same thing. I don't remember if you covered that those 2 mounts are the only mounts in the game where you can just "jump" without moving.
The WoD world bosses weren't exactly "added later on". They were in the game from launch, but only spawned once Highmaul had released. Which makes sense, as otherwise people would be getting raid level gear despire there being no raid.
I can’t for wait for some great PvP action between allic and horde for these world bosses when classics out
The Mists world bosses did require you to be in a group originally... it wasn’t until later on that they were kill on tag without being in the raid group that initially tagged them. There was a trick that could be done where someone was invited to the tagging group and then joining a separate group where multiple groups could get credit, though.
I guess it was fun to have the guild go and fight the bosses. But nowadays is hard to have a good guild as a casual player or to learn crazy mechanics. Therefore I agree with this kind of approach
During the opening of Ahn'qiraj phase I did what I thought was a routine quest and ended up summoning a dog headed world boss requiring a week and a raid to bring down. It being missing from your summary is expected because I can't find a reference to it anywhere.
There were 4 summonable 20 man raid elementals in Silithus as well.
Wasn’t there one animal per zone that you could get a mount from in draenor? I just saw he mentioned the spire hawk
Was hoping you would tell us the lore history of world bosses but this was still interesting :)
Ordos can be killed without having the legendary cloak. There are gulls flying around the Timeless Isle, and some of them fly over the NPC are near the Celestial fight, on the road between the arena and the beach. If you hit one of those gulls with an ability, they swoop down and pick you up, then continue on their normal path over the island. Hang on to that gull for a while and it will fly directly over Ordos' temple. Once you're above a pond, or you are certain you will survive the fall damage, just kill the bird.
Man Oondasta was a tank diesel . I was part of a single raid that got the 1st kill of him on my small server but before we ever got him down we were throwing 2 and 3 raids at him it was a nightmare
Adding another factoid to Oondasta world boss. It was the first world boss i witnessed where it took three full raid groups (two horde, one alliance) to succesfully down Oondasta pre-nerf on my old realm.
another fun fact about oondasta: the path that leads right to where oondasta is from the beach wasnt there at first, we had to run through half the isle to get to him after dying
you didnt need the cloak to get up to ordos, i remember doing him without it, you could get up there by other means :)
Pretty sure If you dont have the cloak you get kicked from the santuary back in Mop i think
How were you playing vanilla content with a DK?
because they didn't revamp EK and Kalimdor until 1 expansion after the release of DKs?
I feel like you're underselling Lord Kazzak though. For the longest time he was invincible since there weren't strong enough players to beat him.
It's the time when he would take nice strolls from blasted lands to Stormwind and go on a killing spree that could only be stopped by a server reset. Even once there were plenty strong players to take him down, you could never allow him to move from his spawn because he would get so much life back from low level players wanting to see him and continuously feeding him health that he became unbeatable.
I know there are hundreds of other videos doing this, but could you make a video explaining the pros and cons of each class in Vanilla for Classic? I've seen a few videos, but many of them are very vague and just say things like "You can't go wrong picking this class" for every class or "Just go with what you like". I did play in Vanilla so I know what I plan to main, but I never actually got to experience raiding in Vanilla, so I'd like to know more about where every class/spec sits at level 60 beyond just some rumors I've heard.
