This is my first ever attempt at making a video like this, and it took me AGES to make. It took a while to become (somewhat) efficient with the software used, and there was quite a lot of scope creep involved (I'd originally forseen the video being 20 minutes long max), but I'm really happy I got there in the end.
A significant limitation was having to make a video about an alive online world whilst showing only me the entire time. I hope it doesn't spoil the video too much.
It's a bit rough around the edges, I definitely think I messed up the audio levels, but overall I'm proud I actually managed to get it finished and uploaded!
Any questions? Ask away! Any feedback to give? Please do!
You're well on your way to doing MadSeason or Barny justice with content like this. Vanilla really was a special world.
Well done
You did so well I look forward to watching you grow and flourish.
You did great! Curious what software you used actually =P
@@XyzgorYT DaVinci Resolve, Audacity, OBS, AzerothCore :)
OG classic is the definition of soul, we will never ever see an MMO like this again.
Join turtle wow it's still there.
hopefully Project Epoch turns into official thing like classic and that dumb fcking "hardcore" thing
garbage boomer game
Turtle wow has hardcoremode@@CremeDeLaMeme.
@@petersander5802 Turtle is Shenna's pet project, easy pass.
The class quests truly were special. I started playing at the tail end of TBC, and leveled a warlock as my main. Quests to tame each of your minions every ten levels. The level 20 weapon quest, and the level 40 and 60 mount quests were truly epic. They genuinely made you feel like you’d accomplished something.
Nowadays you just get it when you turn 60. But I *earned* my Dreadsteed of Xoroth the hard way - taming it at the bottom of Dire Maul with a group of guild mates helping me beat it into submission.
It was a long quest, and the mats needed ended up costing more than people would pay for a regular level 60 mount, but the Dreadsteed was special.
Yes that Dire Maul one was tough for finding a group. It was a real accomplishment getting that flaming horse.
Oh bro this gave me so much nostalgia. I was 16 y.o. broke and the only warlock in our little guild. The only reason I got the mount was because my guildies helped me to pay for the mats so they could experience the questline as well. After wiping so many times we finally got it for me at 2 AM. I had school the next day too 😅
Kinda gives me PTSD that quest,since 3 lvl 70 couldnt make it any easier.But I managed to get Dreadsteed anyway.Kinda cool to accomplish it.
You struck a hard chord in a lot of us with this video, I think. But it digs deeper than the nostalgia alone. A lot of us had deeply personal experiences with WoW, in our own ways. You captured the atmosphere and wonder of it all so well. I was never deep into it but I still sunk a lot of time in for years when I was a kid, on my dad's account. Watching this made me feel like a 10 year old again, playing my dad's Paladin while he was at work or asleep or away. Gathering minerals or whatever small things might help him on his path. My dad passed away last December, unexpectedly. I havent thought about WoW much over the last 10 years but since then, things like this really bite at me. The wonder of this game especially for a dumb kid was so immensely special. Lately I've been remembering forgotten feelings, and even just watching videos like this bring back so much. But this is something even more special, I'm not entirely sure why but your video truly invokes something deeply special. Maybe my dad did this quest, years ago. Maybe he didnt. I'll never know. But I feel closer to him regardless even in just watching this. And he'd love this video too. There was a magic in this world. I subscribed to you immediately. I am so grateful for your leap in making this video. Please continue to do more. This was beautiful and I hope for more amazing content. You not only brought out my lost 10-year-old-self, but you made me feel closer to my dad at the same time. You'rve given us a gift, and I sincerely hope you continue. I know my dad would want you to
You can impossibly get a more heartfelt response than this right here. This is amazing. And I'm sorry for your loss Luke.
No need to be so formal, just call him Spaghettiman
God bless you, im sure you father is looking down on you smiling..
I miss my Dad too 😢 hugs🫂
The voice recording on this video was fantastic. No ambient noise, lowered amplitude, properly used pop filter, zero static polution. You clearly put a lot of effort into this first video attempt. It was a joy listening to you speak. The only small issue was the NPC voice lines were dramatically louder than you so it was a bit of a shock each time lol
Audio levels were definitely messed up on this one - I'll be making sure it's not a problem in the future :)
I personally liked how they contrasted. From an artistic perspective, it sort of thrust you into the game world again. It's almost like a rumble of nostalgic memories reminding you that voices usually stood out against the music and UI sounds back then.
I personally wouldn't recommend tuning this down too much next time, least the detail be lost. But I'm sure you'll have a great product no matter which way you take this.
I love everything. Very well done video!!! Keep it up ❤, just pay attention to those S sounds, as on max volume when you finish a word with S letter it sounds somewhat sharp and loud :D
U forgot to mention the absolute best music from Fable and Gw2
@Veriganic You may never see this, but can I ask you what mic and recording tool you were using, please? I've struggled with audio for year, and it would genuinely mean the world to me if you were able to help.
Your storytelling style and explanations bring back a sense of novelty i haven't felt for this game in years! Really looking forward to more, and this one was so good.
Broh that was such a wholesome video. It was nice and "slow", with which I mean normal speed voice, without cuts and speed talking like is the standard today. It was very relaxing, I enjoyed your narrative and the scenery. I did not mind the length at all. This felt like a nice little brake from a stressful world. Thank you.
Glad you liked it
The narrative, the pace, the shots, and the editing were all great
I like how you touch on the player friction as a important element. it's honestly why I think flying an dungeon finder / sharding ruined the game. You no longer get a chance to meet familiar strangers. Which ends up ruining any hopes of making / finding friends or rivals within the game.
I gotta say. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS how good at editing people are becoming. I keep consistently seeing more and more videos pop up in my recommended by people that have little to no subs (honestly, no offence, just being realistic) and their videos are edited to near enough perfection. The standards for youtube videos in 2023 are at an all time high and it shows. It only took me 2 min of watching your video to be able to imagine how many hours you had to spend on it and then I went ahead and read the pinned comment. Insane. Keep it up.
You certainly have a higher opinion of my editing than I do haha - but thank you!
The free version of DaVinci Resolve is brilliant! Wouldn't have been able to make the video without it.
i need MORE of this. i can not even explain the feelings i had while listening to this, the quiet soundtrack in the background, the ambient sounds such as the fountain in front of BFD, the boat chimes and much more, it is simply fantastically made, great job, keep it up!
This is an extremely charming video. Your voiceover gives perfect context without getting bogged down anywhere, and I love the wide shots of your distant character running through the varied environments; it really captures that sense of being on a grand adventure through strange lands. Even if this is the only video you ever produce, you should be extremely proud of the channel. A true gem.
2004-2006 WoW was something very special
The very good old days ...
Classic andys are so annoying
@@rubenleavell lol. Im just sad for you cuz you didnt have the blessing to experience of the best gaming feeling. Its alright. Someday you will get it
@Tiago Sousa I've been playing wow since vanilla, haha I remember the launch of TBC and Wrath, I stopped playing after MOP came back from Warlords, left again, and now I'm playing Dragon Flight. Doesn't change my point that Classic Andy's are annoying
Absolutely was
Completing this quest was one of my most memorial parts of the Classic release. I was questing early one Saturday morning, and received a whisper for a fellow Paladin looking to group for this. We found 3 other Paladins and rolled through this entire quest line together. Working through the dungeons as that group was great fun.
I didn't know about the Silverpine Forest day/night cycle effecting the worgen village until now.
Hillsbrad foothills and Southshore world PVP were some of my most treasured memories playing wow around 2006~. If anyone called for help from my guild chat or world PVP chat that Southshore was under attack, I'd fly there straight away and fight endlessly. Some fights lasted an hour, with organised horde groups relentlessly attacking. I'd love calling my guild mates for help. Thanks for making this video!!
The Age of Mythology music is a great touch and very comforting. Great video and very entertaining and high quality!
I couldn’t put my finger on it until I saw your comment! Ugh it was bugging me lol
Ah yes, these overly complicated, requiring-too much-effort-compared-the-reward quests were truly something.
Farming red-level elementals as a level 31 warrior is still one of my fondest memories
Verigan's Fist & Whirlwind Axe were amazing rewards, well worth the effort!
You could use the axe for another 20+ lvls. So yeah. It was worth the difficulty. It gave you something to work towards, a reason to party up, and a huge power spike if you can get it before lvl 35
yeah, how were you killing them at level 31 without doing the ranged weapon cheese?
you mean elemetals farms you
@@levonschaftin3676 I remember potions. Many potions. I also think that, somewhere deep in my core, the Whirlwind Axe quest prepared me for Dark Souls.
I know this is the most cliche of statements but Vanilla felt like a world. It WAS a world. You really felt a part of something bigger than yourself. That was and is such an epic feeling.
Also - I love the 'style' of this video! The camera following the chracter around as he runs around in game makes the video seem really cozy and like a story-time type thing. Love it!
Yeah, the still camera shots were really nice. Like the world is the primary character, not the player.
It's like once they started establishing the world with your character as the primary source of story development it lost that nuance feeling of "world building" because now the story is accommodating the player and not the world the player exists. Everything is a plot device now and its really frustrating
@@Lokipower It's one of the unspoken elements of the video that I'm glad you picked up on 👍
@@Shamanisticshuffler Exactly. I don't want to be the protagonist. I don't want to have the whole world revolve around me with everyone kissing my ass. I want to be the pond scum in a world that's too big for me too comprehend.
I started playing wow in 2020, the F2P retail edition. I've heard about the cool world-spanning quests. Can you imagine the whiplash I got when every damn quest could be finished within the same zone? I was hoping on a fascinating trek with that one quest in Duskwood. BAM! The quest was over before it even really began. Really left a bad taste in my mouth.
I did get what I wanted when I started playing on a private server, and had to move from continent to continent to finish quests. It was great.
Blizz really fucked up since expansion 1. Especially the lack of Broken Draenei, but the most egregious thing was the addition of those fucking wind-chimes.
THE LIGHT IS THE LIGHT, NOT SOME FUCKING WIND-CHIMING CRYSTAL!
Thank you for the video, I love taking walks down memory lane of old warcraft. It is what we all remember rather than the big flashy content it has become today. Thank you again.
This is one of my all time faborote wow videos. I've seen them all, and this ranks amongst the highest. Paladins are by far my favorite class and this quest chain is epic.
You have a relaxing voice, and articulate the story well. You've earned my sib, and I hope you succeed further in this journey
That's a beautiful way of telling a story that the majority of players have never experienced. Even as a 2005 veteran of the game who played a considerable amount of Vanilla even post the inception of TBC, I only learned of this quest through Esfand just a week ago. The algorithm blessed me with your eloquent storytelling of that same weapon's creation and the journey it entails.
I was actually watching Esfand go through this questline on HC too whilst editing the video! He's arguably the reason for my paladinhood lol
As someone who never leveled a paladin in vanilla/classic, this was absolutely delightful! Loved all the cinematic shots.
This was incredible. I LOVE your method of storytelling. It's so intimate and cozy. Please continue!
I have only played WoW as a teen some 10+ years ago (well, for several years) and never got to mass raids or anything like that. I enjoyed the quests, scenery, helping lower levels. I salute you for this video and for others on your channel. I have found you randomly just today, but these bring the best kind of nostalgia to me. Seeing old locations that are half-forgotten now (and which were half-forgotten by some even 10 years ago, because they were not on the "ideal levelling journey") warms my heart.
I remember proudly walking around with Verigan's fist enchanted with +5 damage for the blue glow. This was truly one of my most epic quest experiences.
oh my god the blue glow! I totally forgot
@@slowmobro3074I started wow on cataclysm because I saw the power torrent enchant..
As someone who recently completed this exact questline on Classic Era, everything you said is 100% true. It truly felt like a world-spanning *adventure*, and the culmination of your trials and toils was this awesome-looking hammer, that was pretty damn good stat-wise too. It really does encapsulate everything I love about this game, though I'm definitely a little spoiled by some of the more modern luxuries, haha.
Definitely going to be watching this channel with interest, regardless of video content - your presentation style is so comfortable and warm.
This is honestly such a great production, well done especially as you say for your first video. It's clear to see your inspirations but you also have quite an original spin on your own version of storytelling, a personal 1st hand approach rather than just lore exposition. You deserve a lot more recognition!
Thank you for recapturing the magic I felt when I leveled my own very first toon, a human pally. I also died a lot defending against the Defias guys. I felt the same awe at traversing the world. This was an amazing video.
Wow! What a journey man. I remember doing this quest 17 years ago, it blew me away watching your video reliving it. Thank you.
What a journey! Even as a 15+ year WoW Veteran who knew that quest your approach to showcase it was really compelling! Subbed and hopefully will see more stuff in the future!
this video is incredibly special. several times through watching i was completely overcome by nostalgia and sorrow that i will never be able to have experiences like those described in the video again. I remember the run to my favorite druid trainer in mulgore, I remember gathering all of my other cow druid friends together and showing them the secrets of the world to get them their own funny seal form. Things are just too fast and impersonal now in WoW that moments like these are impossible to have. And honestly, it’s for this reason that i started to do roleplay. I just wanted to know I wasn’t alone in the world anymore.
the pace, tone, scenery shots, and especially your word choice and voice are very powerful and deliberate. Thanks for a walk through memories!
Even now, just randomly hearing Eforrsts music still brings a smile to my face... that music locked my soul to the game, forever.
I've always been a Horde player since WoW released, so seeing the old world from the Alliance's perspective feels so strange and yet so familiar. I'd love to see a video talking about some of the original raids, the Sunken Temple instance, or even old weapon questlines like for Thunderfury, Rhok'delar, or Anathema/Benediction!
I was a Horde player and I got the same feeling as you did. I felt a sense of pride when Verigan got ganked outside of BFD. I felt anxiety creep up when he was talking about Hillsbrad but felt safe and at ease when he was apprehensive about trekking through Silverpine. It's super cool that so many people played the same game but could each have a completely different experience.
@@riku3220 funny how after so many hours/days/weeks/months/years(?) I felt the same way. Silverpine will always be a safe space haha
All that time and you never made an alliance character jus to test the waters?
his funeral, he missed out on the best zones/quests/people@@kalvenferrin1957
As a horde player in Vanilla Wow, this is the first I’ve heard of this. Kind of reminds me of the shaman quests I had.
I played a shaman in vanilla, and I remember the innate rivalry between paladins and shamans then: each was sort of the representative of their faction, like if the horde and the alliance had a football game, it'd be their shamans and paladins that met at center-field for the coin toss
Instantly realized which quest it was despite not playing much Paladin. Guess that proves it was very memorable.
you got my subscription before I even finish this.
Alot of the time, "opinionated" video essays and "In My Opinions" can get bogged down with tons of minutia, or the presenter gets caught up in their own biases and the whole thing ends up feeling like a lecture or rant.
You did a wonderful job of presenting your feelings like a storyteller. Even if someone had little to no knowledge of WoW, you presented your stance in this wonderfully captivating style that blurred the lines between essay and short story. It's the kind of thing you could listen to over a hot cup of tea, it's so incredibly cozy.
I hope you pursue this further, I think you have a wonderful talent.
Thank you for taking us back for a trip down memory lane. I remember embarking on this epic journey with friends who are long since gone. This certainly is one of the greatest quests the game had to offer. ❤
Your name... Do you remember running this quest , at night? With a Druid and 3 pallys?
I don't know why but the name swanger sounds familiar.
What a fun watch, your storytelling skills are great, and the little details you gave to have the video understandable by non-WoW players were great, without dragging it out too much for those of us familiar with the game. I can't wait to see what you put out next!
I'm only halfway through the video, and felt I had to comment on the sheer vastness of the original maps! All the out of the way locations, NPC that only certain classes intereact with, questlines that you may never run across without going off the beaten path, it's such a wonderful world.
One of the big failures of most of the expansions is how small everything is. They throw mountains in to break up direct paths, limit flying to keep you on the roads, but in the end, the areas are shockingly small, comparatively. There is also no space spent on folly and silliness. Nothing that makes the world a world.
What an enjoyable breath of fresh air. In the current age of BiS-fixation, min-maxing and optimisation, it's really pleasing and nostalgic to join you on a calm little tour of the old world. This is truly how I think the devs envisioned the game being played back then; reading, piecing everything together. As a predominantly solo player, seeing you plod along taking in the atmosphere brings back such fond memories of a simpler time in my life. Back when I felt I had the freedom to get engrossed and invested in this strange new world...I wish I could do it all again for the first time.
8:16 hit me like a truck of nostalgia, the fable music is so good and fits really well!
YES!
I am stunned that this is your first video and the quality is so insanely cinematic. I was a Horde player so this was a wonderful peek into the Alliance side of the journey! It reminds me of the mystery, amazement and joy I felt while following the (at the time Horde only) Shaman questline to attune to the elements and gain access to totems. I can't wait to see more of your work, chap au bas.
Absolutely love the immersive narrative style of your videos. I've been playing WoW since I was 8, on my cousin's account, until I got my own at the age of 12. Needless to say WoW has been a huge part of my life and remains so to this day as I'm autistic and it's one of my special interests. Watching videos like these fills me with such a deep sense of nostalgia. Most creators would have covered this quest in a way that showcases how annoying it is to get all the items, but honestly it is an adventure and a nice one at that. It reminds me of the druid aquatic form quest. It sent me all over the world and I didn't hate any minute of it, it filled me with a sense of wonder and set me on a path where later in the game I'd go out of my way on purpose to explore inaccessible areas and secrets. I'd love to see a video on it, as a young night elf it really left a mark on me
i keep coming back to watch this cozy video and its so cozy
when vanilla dropped on 2019 I thought it was all fake hype because of nostalgia, I had a paladin on retail so I tried Paladin on classic yet, and even though it was one of the easiest classes, it was challenging, yet so much fun, leveling in retail never felt like this
when I got the quest for this hammer, I actually had a good weapon, the Hydra strike, but the journey was so fun, going around the world, a fellow paladin taught me how to get into the elite ogre zone without a group to get the mats, and after it was done, I felt so POWERFUl, this is what WOW should be, fun leveling, a hard challenge, and a reward that makes you feel stronger
retail has none of these things
How long did that last? You probably replaced that weapon after 5-10 levels.
It is and always will be tedious gameplay and the actual challenge is not to become impatient and attack more than 2 enemies at once. Because it's not you who can't handle it, it's the really lackluster of low level gameplay with next to no abilities.
@@Nightstalker314 Tedious gameplay has always been a core aspect of MMOs. They're not mechanically complex games and involve grinding the same repetitive tasks over and over. Some people, myself included, enjoy that for some strange reason. Retail is faster paced but lacks the same feeling of progression. The tedious grind is what makes the reward feel... rewarding. Pulling two mobs can be a death sentence in Classic, pulling two mobs in retail is just a minor inconvenience. People enjoy different things for different reasons.
My first ever character was a paladin, and by a funny coincidence he looked a lot like your character. This quest chain was really memorable when I did it the first time in Vanilla, and I really enjoyed your cinematic recap of it.
I must say man these songs you chose the background music are amazing. All of my favorite games are brought up in mind while watching :P witcher, m&b, morrowind and wow.
I usually played Horde back in the days but i did play Alliance paladin once, but never remembered this quest. That being said, i feel very nostalgic seeing this. The old memories, the liminal feeling and the sense of wonder and awe. Thank you for this, old enemy.
subbed in the first min.
FR
The music of these areas in wow really was something else. Brilliant composition. Timeless.
Thank you so much for this. Having been a kid who started playing back during Wrath as a human retribution paladin right off of playing Frozen Throne, very little in the game made me feel more like the paladins of old who I aspired to be like than this quest and the reward at the end. This is when I really felt like I'd made it, that I could really call myself a paladin, and I ended up using Verigan's Fist for well longer than 10 levels, not replacing it until I'd reached the Western Plaguelands to face the horrors that made me play a paladin in the first place and got a sick glowing sword as a quest reward. Even then I kept the hammer in my bank, unwilling to sell the weapon that I'd worked so hard to get and which carried me for so long.
Verigan's Fist stays in the bank. Always.
I'm glad you liked it :)
Props to the cameraman. Those shots were beautiful
The nostalgia. I'd do anything to experience WoW Vanilla the way I did when I was a kid.
This feels so comfy and outschool. Thank you for making this :) Your editing is amazing! Please make more. New games have forgotten how important the journey is. Now it's all about the prize and the destination. I feel like that's why it's so forgettable.
I love how the video started with : I can't really do anything well but Ill try anyways, very relatable dude xD
Omg! This was fantastic! Was recommended to me by TH-cam. So glad I watched it. I especially want to thank you for NOT putting in 15 million ads! I cannot tell you enough, how nice it is to sit down and watch a vid without ad interruptions messing up the flow. This brought back so many memories. When you first entered the Wetlands, I automatically thought of the crocks and wondered if you would mention that hazard, Arathi Highlands is just as bad. lol The horrors of contested territories, the dungeons, and the little hidden gems, all was covered very well and spot on. After almost 15 years of playing this game, I never knew that the goblins still blinked while dead. lmao I learned something new! The audio was perfect. The only bad thing about this vid: I was sad when it ended. You left me wanting to see more!
Only one thing better than your own nostalgia, and that's experiencing someone else's. The time investment on this video is obvious, loved it!
Happy the algorithm picked this up. Great story, and beautifully explains why vanilla WoW is a true world with heart and soul in it, something that was sadly lost starting with the expansions. Barny's epic story with the Scarab quest shows that too. Always super cool to have videos like these to showcase that special piece of history. Oh and my first character was a human paladin too. I fondly remember the journey to Silverpine as well... and the hammer really slaps :D
It’s not just that the game lost it.
Gamers collectively lost the capacity to appreciate it.
I think we appreciate it, but there has not been a modern recreation of this quality in a long time.
Development cycles and investors' expectations make the future of game development a treacherous path. Between navigating your own goals, the realities of development time, and undue external influence, it's nearly impossible to simply "let him cook."
@@undauntedExpounder there **cant** be a modern recreation of it though no matter how much time goes into developing it.
Part of what made vanilla magical was the fact that information didn’t travel so fast, people’s collective game knowledge wasn’t so developed, and there was just a vastly different culture in general in gaming than there is today.
Even though I am 1 year late to this channel, this was a great first video, really lovely!
I love these kinds of videos where players reminisce about good ol' WoW and the fantastic essence it had.
Naming your best creation after your late friend has so much touch in it it almost made me cry. Very manly, very civilised.
Loved the vid, you’re good at story telling and got an amazing voice to boot, looking forward to seeing what else you make.
Vanilla/classic WoW has such a unique experience that it can't be replicated. I've studied game design for a decade plus. I know why vanilla was good and it's a combination of getting multiple things right at once. I could literally write a 30 page report on it. Despite the game still having massive game flaws and unfinished it's still one of the best games of all time.
I could watch videos like this for ages! You write and narrrate really well and you're spot on about what makes WoW amazing
More plzzzz
These videos are phenomenal. You’ve gained a new fan today. Keep them coming!
Loved the way you laid the information out. Your shots are very well put together and the editing work is very enjoyable. Honestly, your video came up in my recommendations and I was very surprised when I saw you had only three subscribers (now four). The only thing I have as a critique is your microphone level. Your narration is a bit too low compared to the ambient sounds. All in all, I loved your video and sincerely hope to see much, much more! Greetings from Portugal!
Thank you for the kind words!
As for the microphone level, you are 100% right - I messed up there. I'll be making sure that doesn't happen next time!
As a life long Tauren this tour has shown me many fascinating things that I have never seen in all these years. It pleases me to see that the nostalgia is not limited to my own experience.
It’s been more than 10 years since I quit playing World of Warcraft.. this video has brought me some strong nostalgia, Life is incompatible with playing now at le, to enjoy videos like this is quite awesome! Thank you
This opening music flooded my brain with so much old emotion. Thank you for the nostalgic return to the old days this morning. It was a pleasant surprise.
Aaaahhh. The amount of nostalgia you breathed into me is astounding. And this is coming from someone who spent 14 years on-and-offing with Vanilla Wow. Loved your video and the small humorous accents you finessed within!
Keep it up, you earned yourself a new subscriber :)
I loved WoW. So much fun playing with my friends and guildmates. I fear it will never be equalled, and those that never played wont understand when we try to explain to them how great it once was.
I love the first person narration you chose to bring up here. The kind of soliloquy while walking in the tunnel "and oh, we arrived". It really moved me, it is a powerful way of narration for me. And I was elated to hear those zones' wonderful background musics that accompagnied me for hours and hours.
Well done for the editing and thank you
One can tell the heart was invested in telling of the story. I especially enjoyed the wide shots of the hero making his way on the journey. Great video
Thank you so much for making something like this. Absolutely loved hearing the music from some of my favourite games of all times (Fable, Mount and Blade…)
Amazing to see we share the same perspective on a great game and on elements of it that often go unnoticed by the casual player.
ill never forget doing this quest. i must've been 13 or 14 at the time. things like this are part of what made WoW so magical in the beginning
The nostalgia is real. Very very good video, makes me want to start a new character to play through these zones again
This was really cool mate - we all have little quests or moments that we treasure nostalgically about WoW, which is what makes it such a classic game that we all look back on fondly
Before I clicked on this video I had the thought “Ive never seen his channel before… but I bet this video is a hidden gem!”
And wow- I was so right.
Beautiful work
Man, that Age of Mythology music took me back. Great video, friend. You're killing it. :)
the nostalgia i got from hearing you talk about this quest was wonderful. thankyou
I'm so happy I found your channel. I found it earlier today and have been watching for about 2-3 hours. Please keep making more.
another one tommorow!
I love how chill and relaxing this video is. Very nostalgic also!
Thank you for your job!
Only 3 minutes in and I am loving this style of video. You really have your own touch, and it's a good one.
God this video brought back so many memories. Old WoW was just a different experience. Great video man, keep it up
Hearing Fable music over WoW gameplay is so soothing to my soul. It's a combination of my two favorite games of all time so thank you for experience
Man, the music you use is pure nostalgia from different games from my childhood! Great video :)
You put a big smile on my face when you brought in Fable's music. Exquisite video!
incredibly well made video, my attention hasn't been held for a 30min TH-cam video like this for a long time.
This was excellent! The influence of MadSeasonShow and Josh Stryfe Hayes is apparent early on, and the music and tone is truly soothing. I'm glad the algorithm picked this up somehow, and I'm excited to see where you go next!
You could tell us about the Ony attunement, which would probably be my pick for best quest in WoW
Fantastic storytelling in this video and great editing with the sound effects as well. Can't believe it's your first, it's that well made!
Great job on your first showing, looking forward to many more!
Great video. Refreshing change of pace. Thanks!
I never played WoW. I was too young when it came out, but got into other games by the time that I got old enough to play games like it. It's amazing watching videos like this that really express what it was like to play the game back then without it feeling overly produced. For a first video, this was really well produced, had clean sound, and clean editing. I'll be on the watch out for more of your videos in the future!
I really like how you explain basic game concepts. It is clear enough so someone with no experience in WoW can wrap their head around it, but you're not tedious about it for those of us who do. That is a line I have never seen someone walk so deftly before.
Your filming is solid. You change shot styles up (wide angle, interior, 'dolly shot'), but more importantly, you linger long enough for the viewer to pick up cool details in the environment as you talk. Your sound quality is clean and consistent, and you have a voice that is easy to listen to. Makes the whole vibe relaxing, and even cozy.
And innkeepers used to have a proto-LFG mechanic? Cool!
VERY well done! I'm looking forward to more from you.
As an aside, there is no need to apologize over a video's length. When someone clicks the video, the length is right there in the corner, so we know what we're getting into.
I really love this video! It was mellow, but the pace was good, and I like your balance between being kind of poetic and story-focused as well as having a lot of your personality on show. Inspiring work--thank you for sharing it with us!
You did amazing for your first video! This quest brings back memories, I remember doing this when I was a kid
Thanks for taking us back. Loved it.
This is a very cozy, calming video. Congrats on the publish!
TH-cam is finally recommending good content creators once again. Loved the video, please keep posting!
I love your use of Jeremy Soule's Guild Wars sound track during this.
You know what's beautiful about this quest? I've played wow since the beginning and I don't recall this quest. Thank you.
