- Is AQ 40 the epic challenge that we thought it would be? The gates are open (on some servers) and the call to arms has been made...what kind of challenge are we looking at? Will AQ keep us on our toes or will it be a complete face-roll like MC? Check out the video and find out!

We spent all night wiping on twin emps and Visc. I loved it.
Everything was melting until we got to Twin Emps. Then not so much lol.
You forget when you were playing originally in Vanilla that 1/2 the people were still on a 56k modem, way less powerful computers and lagged out to hell. Add that to no world buffs, no proper equipment itemization, no tactical knowledge and this actually being a absolutely new genre of a game is why it was so hard back then.
Even though I love Classic its so much more fun than retail, and looking forward to completing this old expansion and TBC too!
In 2005 i used to raid having 10-20FPS lol
I remember lagging out hard doing the first few bosses in AQ just before TBC dropped, so I ended up avoiding raids and sticking with PVP and heroic dungeons all the way into the beginning of WOTLK due to hardware limitations alone...
Even though I did eventually begin raiding a bit later, those past experiences seemingly effected me even still, leading me towards smaller scale experiences (10 man over 25 man, running dungeons and doing PVP instead of pushing raid teirs for example), despite no longer having hardware issues. ofc this is what I actually enjoyed doing at this point, that's what I learned to like probably.
Hardware was enough to stop potential raiders before they even cleared trash to the first boss, and probably influenced more people than most people realize.
I don't think anyone ever expected classic AQ40 to be the challenge it was 15 years ago. That being said my server does not have the gates open yet, my guild is not a "hardcore" guild like all of the world first clears, in fact my guild had a lot of trouble on Firemaw in BWL, more trouble than Chromag and Nef by far. Now everyone has already had BWL on complete farm status for months now, and I'm beyond excited to get into AQ40 and go through progression again, everyone agrees AQ is a step up in difficulty, and I just can't wait to be faced with the next challenge in terms of raid content.
loving this style of video! keep up the great work!
So pumped for AQ! just like 3-4 weeks to go!

Same for us on Windseeker lol
Even in Vanilla, my guild cleared the first 4 bosses the very first day we entered AQ40. Difficulty didn't ramp up at all until nature resist stuff for Huhu, and Twin Emps, obv. Also everyone playing under patch 1.12 from the jump has made gearing a lot more efficient and certain fixes/mechanics a lot easier all around for classes.
I mean, if you wanted a bigger challenge, you can ignore the world buffs.
There's even category on Warcraft Logs that tracks clear times without them, the difficulty jump won't be dramatic, but without the world buffs you would have to learn the mechanics.

KUH THUNE
Always figured AQ would bea face roll, especially for organized guilds. Hopefully NAX will actually have some difficulty to it.
I guess with each phase it gets easier to wipe a raid by doing a stupid mistake but if you do everything right (which far more ppl do today than 15 years ago), you won't struggle just because. I mean, people who clicked on their main spells were considered good, back then, which is just unthinkable now.
I just hate when people call Classic content easy/joke after they see a server top guild smashing it. Just join a pug onyxia, and scratch your head after wiping 3-4 times (which still happen more time than you think). My guild did speedruns in BWL, yet we still wipe sometimes, and not a long time ago we had such a bad day, we wiped like 6 times, 2 on Vael, 4 on Firemaw. Yeah, raiding is not a challange like it used to feel like, but calling it a joke is just not fair. I'd call something a joke where you can only die if you want to die, like retail leveling experience, but that's definietly not the case with Classic.
Classic raiding IS a joke. The fights are a snorefest, the classes are a snorefest. Unfortunate, but true.
I completely agree. I still can't get over the fact that people literally get the best possible gear, consumes, buffs and enchants, blaze through content and call it easy.
The analogy of entering cheats, beating the game and then calling it easy is inescapable to me, but you've still got people who just. don't. get it.
"Hey I just beat the game using godmode, what an easy game hurr durr."
"Why don't you challenge yourself by not using buffs or consumes?"
">:("
@@hankapaldum6027 Also people keep repeating how Mythic raiding on retail is so much harder than anything in Classic. But they forget that Mythic is made specifically for the hardcore minmaxers, the rest 90% of the playerbase has more easier alternatives. In classic there is only 1 difficulty level, which both the super casuals and the hardcore base should enjoy.
But reasoing is pointless, people who pity Classic are doing it because thay want to hate the game, and they want it to fail and suck. I remember how many comment were made before launch, about the game will be empty after 3 months because people will realize it was just rose tinted glasses. And now almost a year later Blizzard had to bring back layering to adress overpopulated servers.
@@hankapaldum6027 Yeah, get creative! Just look at the folks that went in and killed Onyxia naked!
@@faranell7481 LFR nzoth is legit harder than aq tho, classic is not hard at all. wiped more in lfr and instances in retail than i did in classic. Classic doesnt need to be hard it can still be fun, the absolute hardest part of classic is getting 40 ppl to come to the raid and not troll
My guild keeps telling me I’m an idiot for thinking AQ isn’t going to be hard. I doubt we’re going to face roll it day 1, but I doubt cthun is going to be the legendary “guild breaker” I keep hearing about.
Also, I hate how you pronounce cthun.
lol pronunciation has never been a strength of mine.
The game is easy, but god forbid I try to run on my Ret pally.
If you made this video without playing AQ40 yet, I just don't feel like you're qualified to talk on it. Viscidus is extremely difficult. Ouro and Emps are very hard. Cthun is also difficult. This raid tests your Gear, it tests your communication, and it also tests your pockets. If your raiders aren't ready to drop a bunch gold on consumables, you're in a lot of trouble. If your warlocks aren't prepared to Tank twin emps, then you're not getting through that content. You took 3 clips off twitch for the early bosses and called the raid easy, and it's just not the case.
Viscidus is extremely difficult - luuuulz.
We are pretty casual guild with a lot of retarded players and even we downed visc in an hour. If a avarage guild kills something within less than a month of progression it not extremely difficult, more like pretty easy.
we oneshot everything and we are a casual guild, what are u talking about
LFR nzoth is legit harder than aq (if u dont count the + stats on death)
I keep hearing about how easy this content is because the hardcore like to stream roll it with tonnes of consumes and 20 world buffs.
I only get to play classic every second week, I rely on pugs for my raiding and have not found the content easy. Sure I've had plenty pugs where we've smashed it all but I've defintely had absolutely horrible raid nights. The last mc pug I did was on reset night, we had about 4 hours and didn't finish it.... my last bwl, 3/8.
I certainly don't mind the idea of aq40 being not a ridiculous step up in difficulty
my pug used to do bwl in less than 1 hour and it was mostly alts
Done when it was current content, back then it was a challenge... Now, well, it's not current content so.
Thats my guild!!!
it was a joke :-( cleared it on the first night without much trouble
Dunno why I’m watching. Stopped playing at level 8. Don’t even play wow at all anymore.
its the smooth music and sweet background footage!
It's easy because consumables and world buffs destroy the balance of the game entirely and should have been nerfed for classic. The meta revolves around basically cheating. It's in the game, yeah, but the devs back then were new to this genre and had no idea people would min-max to this degree.
Your understanding of some players going all out carrying the ones who aren't putting any effort in is perhaps a little idealistic.
In reality the players getting world buffs and simming gear are clustered into their own sweaty guilds face rolling stuff and the trash players have their own trash guilds doing 4hr MCs
pugs do MC in an hour
Unlimted prep and knowledge which makes the original version a joke in comparison to the old days. I don't understand why people don't understand this and say "oh fuckin blizz fuckin up old content, classic is garbage!"
Probably not
It's a joke
1st!
i just want the answer, its hard or not, i will not watch 11 minutes video xD
