  • Now as to why Hogger is so well known, well it's because he was a very hard elite mob in the Human starting zone. Seeing as back in the day before Blood elves were added to the game, Humans were the most popular race people picked, and after going around killing easy mobs most people didn't think an elite mob would be that much harder.

    In an alternate universe, Hogger actually united the gnolls and caused the Second Gnoll War which weakened the Alliance enough that the Burning Legion was able to steamroll through Azeroth.

    Hogger was, if memory serves, the first elite mob a new human player would ever encounter. People were not expecting him to be as strong as he was, plus he called for gnoll backup to help him fight and the area he was in had pretty fast respawning groups of gnolls and some roamed around. All of these elements were dangerous, but splicing them all together in a scenario where players had typically felt safe and comfortable soloing all their quests without help, and you have a recipe for death and dismay.
    Also, with servers frequently crashing or going down during vanilla, and players being unable to just stop playing, they would make new level 1 characters on other servers just to waste time until they could play on their home server again. When a bunch of level 1 humans spawned in large numbers in Northshire, they would roam around aimlessly killing things out of boredom, and it started to become a way to pass the time to test themselves against tougher and tougher enemies that they could kill in large numbers despite being level 1. Hogger became the measuring stick for these level 1 raids and would be swarmed by groups of level 1 players as if it were a raid encounter. All of this became pretty traditional for a lot of folks and further spread stories of Hogger and firmly cemented him as a historical figure.

    BY THE WAY, Hogger is not dead, when you are doing a horde BfA intro (the stockades part), you can find a female human prisoner in Hogger’s room and a costume of Hogger. And when you interact with her she says like: “Aha, Hogger’s not dead - this is just a costume”.

    Maybe one day we can be gnolls as a playable race, and the stockades could be retconned and used as the starting quest for the gnolls, and Hogger becomes the gnoll leader. :P

    • @TheHobgoblyn
      @TheHobgoblyn 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think the Gnolls should be made a playable race (at least in part because they would be the best alternate race to turn the Worgen model into). But I don't think it is necessary to retcon the stockades to make Hogger one of the race's main characters-- afterall, "There must always be a Hogger" so... whichever one is calling itself Hogger now would be one of the racial heroes.

    Nice video, Hiru. Instead of doing the standard villains like everyone has, you chose a much more trivial, but perhaps much more relatable and memorable foe.
    Hogger is probably the most iconic of all mobs in Elwynn and likely one of the first, if not the first elites you'd encounter as a human player.
    Those drawings really do really lift the video to a higher level. Instead of the in-game or stock footage, this adds a personal and unique touch. Love this series and your channel!

  • @Polomance862
    @Polomance862 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hogger's Lore is his notoriety of being the Terror of Elwynn. He wasn't a deadly target, but he was the introductory stage to cooperative efforts. Hogger did not forgive people who tried tackling him alone. And it was also a good way to introduce the threat that Elites were supposed to be. When you saw that Golden Dragon Ring; you knew you had a challenge on your hands. Much like how the Sons of Arugal were in Silverpine Forest.
    His legacy lived as the first elite people fought against; and likely first time they had to get a group together to take him down. (Or the first quest they've had to skip out of pure frustration of said difficulty spike)
