For some reason, I'm imagining this as a creepypasta where there's that one door in your house that's always closed, but when you press your ear against it, you hear the sound of clickety clacketing and a lot of swearing. There's also a foul odor coming from that room and a weird glow under the door frame that's always there, even in the deepest, darkest hours of the night. You've never been inside this room and you're pretty sure you don't ever want to, but your mother assures you it's nothing to worry about. This is where your 'brother' hangs out. You've never seen this so called 'brother', but she assures you he exists. The reason you have never seen him is because he ventured down a dark path of infinite killing and he's become unrecognizable since then. They're desperate to keep you out of this room for fear of the same thing happening to you, because once this demon sets its claws in you, it never lets go. 'WoW' they call this demon and none who have faced it, have ever returned.
Actually i met a grand marshal in another game, i started wow not long ago and he showed me his accounts, one of them was this grand marshal dwarf with over 200k kills xD He told me all this kills have been done from vanilla to tbc Insane if u think about it
Rank 14 was all I wanted back then, and I had a reasonable amount of time to get there within 6 months. I have children now, So they'll be farming honor while I sleep.
The first time I saw someone with the PvP epics I thought to myself as a kid: "Wow, this guy has cool gear." Now I'd think: "Wow, this guy probably has a poop bucket in his room. Still cool gear tho."
True, those were some odd times when players did PvE content to get an advantage in PvP while some raiders farmed honor to save gold on their epic mount. Even though I love how questing felt in Classic, I think after a while I'd like to transition into the more balanced PvE and PvP versions of BC and WotLK respectively.
@@ReeceDK I really liked BC, because I could slowly work towards nice PvP gear one piece at a time and it didn't require no-lifing it. I still no-lifed it, though. I was a kid and had no obligations. Was really nice to just target a weapon right off the bat and see an instant heavy power up once you got it. Getting the whole set still took a lot of work, though.
@@Zamolxes77 What a wonderful world we live in, you can get R14 and a Darwin Award simultaneously. I can´t wait to see these titles being handed out left and right in a couple of months. Joking of course, these people have issues.
I'm 100% positive it was there in Vanilla too. I remember joking about it with my friends in school and that was pre-TBC and I didn't even play TBC with them when it came out.
I got rank 14 in vanilla. If asked if I would do it again I would say definitely not. It just way too time consuming and the dedication you have to put into that grind is insane. You are not the same person afterwards. Just don't do it folks.
As someone who spent 6 months doing this for 14-16 hours a day, everyday, I'd consider what's of importance to you lol. That said, smashing squishies with a list full of pots and windfury buff on my R14 Arms Warrior after 6 months of grinding was the sweetest crescendo into nerdgasm. Are BGs going to be released immediately? If so, get a group going right away and grind out constantly. There are honor tracking mods you can use to stagger who gets what rank to make it most efficient, if you work together. Generally, if we were vs another group we would just immediately concede to not drag it out. It was kind of bullshit and I wasn't about it, but that's what the group I rolled with decided on, and it was the only way I was going to get R14. You can pretty much never stop BGing. How long you have to go depends on how much competition for the spot there is. When I got R14, I got it the same week 3 other people did. It can range anywhere from 4 months to a year. If you can get away with other people using your account without getting banned, do it lol. Be warned that this is an easy way to get banned, and can totally fuck up how much honor you're raking in. I never did this but I know a lot of guys did. You could probably solo your way to at least R13 if people take shifts on the account. Or you could just wait until AQ and some BWL and get better gear. Honestly, if you're after gear, just join a hardcore raid guild and wait till you get to endgame content. You can still pvp on the side. I was in a raid guild that was doing 4-6 hour raids while pvping for HWL, and I had to fuck over my guild and dodge raids for 3 weeks while we were at Nefarius. I was their main fury warrior, and generally top 3 on charts, as well as a dedicated offtank. Make sure you pick your priorities. Good guilds are like families with long lasting friends, and you all work together to overcome difficult issues. No better feeling than downing that boss you were stuck on with only 3 people left alive in your 40 man raid. Nothing will make you better at raiding than PVP, though. No WoW boss design compares to the reflexes you need and develop inside competing with other people, especially nowadays when people are much more competent at video games than in like 2005 or whenever I did it. When I raided, everything and everyone felt so slow because my alertness was super high. PvP is really fun, and spending a lot of time involved in it is very challenging and very stimulating. There's a lot of unique interactions you're bound to have and a lot of high level competition. Nerd boners galore. Still, as someone who chased the dream, consider if you're up to sacrificing a highly dedicated 5-6+ months of your life non-stop in order to get the gear. It felt fuckin great using it once I got it, but in terms of real life, I turned into much more of a ragey, angsty dungeon troll and completely dissociated from any other facets of my life. Vanilla wow was one of the heaviest drugs, and I probably only got off it because the game evolved into something I no longer enjoyed. It's important to remember that these things are temporary and really don't amount to much else in life that you can compound on top of. Take care and have fun :)
@@fernybern I mean, 1 million plus honor kills is probably going to do something for your individual skillset. In the group I was in, there was still a number of low skill players no doubt. Skill helps speed up the process, especially if you're competing against other groups that might have skilled players. You're right that time is more important to the grind. I solod my way to R11 or 12, I don't recall exactly. I mostly pvp'd in bgs and world just for fun at the challenge of it all. The grind will make you a better player but to be the best at pvp and duels, you really just have to constantly expose yourself to them and push your parameters. Once I saw pvp videos of R14 warriors (a class that scaled more from gear than any other at the time) completely stomping, I was convinced that I wanted to go for it. Most R14 I knew weren't shit at duels and pvp though lol. The sheer number of encounters you have is bound to increase skill.
basicly this , they will feel good for a while .. but no life at all >< i have a job and a family now ... i simply dont have time to classic... let alone go for rank 14.. i dont even want to thats just to much >
What if all the old vanilla players all gathered up and conspired to tell the masses how hard is is to get rank14, just so that it would be easy-peasy for them because nobody will try to do it except themselves?
@@joshgomez7522 not yet. pve gear becomes better after AQ release. also not for every class. r14 weapon for warriors is bis until naxx. there are other classes who want to get the pvp gear cause everything dropping in pve for them is just crap.
um that happens to people who currently play retail and other online games all day and night. classic aint shit on the THOUSANDS of hours i have across all expansions.
the normal grind isnt that bad a person can do it in 3-4 days a week but being on a server where people want to sabotage each other which is what the world wants to do right now kinda ruins that.
Yep.. that's how it was. I was staying up TWENTY hours a day to get it (and of course, I did!) but I literally felt a hole in my head inthe last two months. I would never put myself through this again, for any reason.
I’ve never seen your channel before but god I appreciate your style man. Old school wow machinima hasn’t been around for a while and its what made the culture so enthralling before. Plus your long form essay discussion style with quality ass skits and fiver gags. You’re the shit, forsure subbed.
I was a rank 14 player back in Vanilla and it was indeed a experience. I did have some fun in it though, as I was a night elf warrior and while I was moving to rank 14 there was a Tauren warrior who was doing the same. We always made a rule that when we encountered each other in a battleground that we do a salute while in combat in respect. We both also got rank 14 at the same time and congratulated each other. The bad part was while I had to mostly keep up around 40-60k honor every week to help get myself on up to grand marshal, he was having to make 120-160k honor to get high warlord.
Rank 12 is actually Boots, Legs, and GLOVES. It says on the names - "General's" or "Marshal's" Rank 13 is Helm, Shoulders, and CHEST. "Warlord's" or "Field Marshal's"
I've amassed more joy (that deep stress relieving laugh... From the soul) from this video and more entertainment value than viewing the Mona Lisa. Ty sir. This was a masterpiece. Statistical data with inside and general humor, all in one convenient parcel. Bravo! Encore! /Throws roses
You can hit rank 14 mid week before the reset now that honor is calculated instantly so make sure you have gold in the bag to buy all the weapons so you don't have to do it again.
Classic Grand Marshall here.... yeh, I played all summer with no job.. I must say, PVP BGs was probably the best experience back then. but the grind was insane
@@Kingdomkeyboarder Not the guy you're asking, but I was part of an honor team helping people grind rank 14. The guy I was helping (who did get rank 14) was a warrior. I was a Druid aka WSG Flag running bot.
I'm pretty sure that Timbermaw Hold was the first faction that I ever became exalted with. And I literally started that process, and completed it, as soon as I ran in to them, while leveling my main. So, this might be the sort of waste of time that I could get in to! Or whatever BC's version of it is!
I actually got rank 14 in vanilla. I made a short video talking about the grind. Took me 5 months of 12 to 16 hour grinding. I wish my editing was as funny as yours. All your vids are fucking hilarious. The SM dungeon guide still my favorite of yours.
@@pinglankek Yeah it was crazy. A lot of people don't seem to realize, even if you could get rank 14 in 3 months under the best possible circumstances, that will never happen. There are always other people trying to get rank 14 that you have to compete with. My grind took especially long since I was melee. Melee was at a huge disadvantage before BGs came out.
Back in the day I knew the regular high warlord of my server personally - It was a married couple, sharing an account. Well, the husband was working the graveyard shift, so with their sleep cycles already out of sync they just no-life'd it for months on end. That hunter was queued for, or in, Arathi Basin nearly 24/7. (relationship goals btw) So for any of you who kinda want to get to rank 14; Remember the part about competing with players of your own faction for bracket spots? Players like case above is who you will be up against. You have been warned.
Got rank 14 in vanilla. My pvp team controlled alliance PvP on the server. Each week we would switch off who got Rank 14. The rumors of playing 24/7 are untrue. However, it was a commitment. 10-12 hour days in AB and I was an early riser, so I'd play even more. I think I was 22 at the time, so I didn't have much else going on and I didn't care. I think it took 8 weeks before I was there. No win trading, we'd just steamroll everyone. My favorite memory is beating the top Horde PvP team in AB, and they were so upset they stopped playing for the rest of the week. For a while I was the only Rank 14 priest on the server with all the other warriors and paladins. I think it would be impossible to get to Rank 14 on your own.
Fantastic video once again like you said in the stream the paid guys are a great addition. In no time you'll be a big enough channel to get big man tyrone.
I got rank 13.5 in vanilla. 15 hour days hardcore PVPing for months. The upside our premade never lost a battle for weeks straight. Horde premades AFKd out when they saw us. You play a lot but you own face doing that, so it is a lot of fun
Fortunatly PVP items don't have anything extra compared to raid items so you can skyp this inhumane grind and still be very competitive as a PVP player with PVE items.
꧁Travis Russo꧂ Yeah, hand of rag is the 2nd best wep, BUT....... who’s actually going to give hand of rag to a Druid lol :(, Unless you’re a selfish Guild Leader
This was freaking hilarious. I havent touched WoW since WOTLK but vanilla is still some of my fondest memories in 30 years of gaming and Im hyped as F for tomorrows release. Nevertheless I never actually considered hitting 14 back then and neevr will now either. This is NOT what made vanilla such an amazing and unique experience. The world pvp combined with grinding your way to 60 as well as challenging end game raids are what made this game so great. BGs actually always have felt half-baked with AV never actually working properly and people ditching the objectives and just rushing for the general and then Resilience gear came out with BC and totally ruined the game and made everyone look the same and epics didnt mean a thing anymore neither did PvE gear since everyone just rushed for easy broken pvp epics . Classic was and will always be the pinacle of WoW.
YOOOO why's nobody talking about the quality of this video?! HILARIOUS! Genuinely laughing out loud here, the channel flicking made me howl Subbed, amazing work, ty :D And no I don't want R14 ever
What actually happened was that you had 1 premade on each side, both of which dodged each other and only played against (mostly) undergeared and dis-organized randoms. So it just boiled down to how quickly you could cap all 5 points in AB / capture all 3 flags in WSG, while simultaneously farming their graveyard till you're blue in the face. Those that didn't partake in the premade circlejerk ended up account sharing, so you'd run into characters that were literally online 24/7 for months.
I also read somewhere, that R14 receives a teleport spell, allowing them to warp to any "... is under attack!" locations, while also able to use those special chat channels to notify all players there as well.
Problem with R14 is that the gear is kinda worse than late AQ40 / Naxx even for the melee. As an Ele shaman with R11 and full AQ40 set I saw no point in going further, gear was pretty bad compared to what I had already. Not that I even needed the R11 mount, just wanted the title for the looks. Also, titles get removed from your list as soon as you de-rank so that's a point to consider as well. It's not like in current WoW, when you can boast your High Warlord for all eternity. Sure, you can get to R14 faster than most of the guilds clear BWL, yet you'll get outgeared at some point by raiders. And it's not really possible to raid and pvp on the same toon unless you can literally play 24x7. Hope they rework the PvP rewards a bit.
I got to Rank 7 back then I couldn't devote that amount of time to go higher. What made me even more sore was that I sold the gear into TBC with upgrades and the Transmog came much later. Thankfully I kept the mounts and you could buy the older PVP pieces if you ever got the Rank. Respect to the people in who could've made this grind. It required a literal life devotion to get it done and I know quite a few people who were very unemployed at this age in the game grinding that Rank. Looking back on it all, I feel that twinge of regret because I feel like I wasted a lot of my life being so wrapped up in WoW for so many hours each day, wrecking my sleep schedule, giving myself acid reflux from the late nights that lasted into the early mornings to another day of rushing to get to work and hook up on caffeine to get through the day... I'm happy with it my crappy rank. I can't fathom the stress it was to max.
I went for r14 in vanilla and i must say it was some of the best times in any mmo even though it was a brutal grind. Many other games have forced me to mindless pve grind to be able to compete in pvp which is my passion. Bdo is the last game i quit that had great pvp mechanics but no way to progress through pvp. If i try classic again i would like to find a good raiding guild to experience the raids, but i would definitely pvp a lot. Go to r11 casual and go for r14 if there is enough time to put in. R14 grind did make people crazy back in the day. One of the founders of my guild kicked me out because he was going r14 at the same time and did not believe two can make it the same week. He was even account sharing when i was not. Fortunately when the word got out about this i was helped by all the good pvprs of the server and i had the whole week instawin bg parties waiting no matter what time i played. I did beat the villain but as i excpected he also got r14 same week. Whole guild disbanded after that.
All our guild r14 "Monsters of PvP" leaved the game in TBC cause suddenly arena was requiring more skill than grind. I personally think that TBC - WotLK arena reward system was much better than retail or vanilla WoW. I mean, yeah - grinding like there is no tommorow and than getting gear is satisfying, but everyone who can join premade and have a lot of time can do it. While not everyone can get 2 - 2.4k in arenas.
I was 4th Grand Marshal on my server. It was awful. More like 16 hours a day, but you could afk during queues (alliance). I remember one day the servers went down for the whole day, was the only day during the entire grind I got some decent sleep. Hope they change it for classic.
They should change it. It was so harmful to peoples health, it shouldn't have been designed this way. Alas, they can't change it, not with the whole fanbase expressing #NoChanges.
@@Hrimstal It's a terrible system and well technically they did change it in TBC but people want the Classic experienced untouched and untainted so i don't see them making any kind of changes.
If anyone hits rank 14 they should automatically be put on a list of people needing an intervention Edit: 1000/10 for that JoJo skit Edit #2: Asmongold read my comment on his stream, my TH-cam life is complete

I’m gonna try and ultimately accept Rank 13
Having a job makes that impossible, but Rank 11 would be nice.
Can You give me the jojo meme video? You know, I'm collecting those. :)
I would be pleased with at least rank 5
I try to get as high as i can as holy priest. But i won't do 12 hours every day. Far from it actually.

I’ve never seen your channel before but god I appreciate your style man. Old school wow machinima hasn’t been around for a while and its what made the culture so enthralling before. Plus your long form essay discussion style with quality ass skits and fiver gags. You’re the shit, forsure subbed.
Good shit bro.. I literally put everything aside when I watch your videos instead of just playing them in the background. Amazing work!
I just want to reach Rank10. i would be happy with Champion Set.
Dude, this is just beautiful. thea way you put out the info... This is how everything in life should be learned.
I was a rank 14 player back in Vanilla and it was indeed a experience. I did have some fun in it though, as I was a night elf warrior and while I was moving to rank 14 there was a Tauren warrior who was doing the same. We always made a rule that when we encountered each other in a battleground that we do a salute while in combat in respect. We both also got rank 14 at the same time and congratulated each other. The bad part was while I had to mostly keep up around 40-60k honor every week to help get myself on up to grand marshal, he was having to make 120-160k honor to get high warlord.
Rank 12 is actually Boots, Legs, and GLOVES. It says on the names - "General's" or "Marshal's"
Rank 13 is Helm, Shoulders, and CHEST. "Warlord's" or "Field Marshal's"
Literally has "Warlord's" on the item in the video which is Rank 13...
I've amassed more joy (that deep stress relieving laugh... From the soul) from this video and more entertainment value than viewing the Mona Lisa. Ty sir. This was a masterpiece. Statistical data with inside and general humor, all in one convenient parcel. Bravo! Encore! /Throws roses
I don't always sub to WoW TH-cam channels, but when I do, it is Platinum WoW
Sick dude, thats a well made video if i've ever seen one!
Nice sense of humor, informative, interresting scenes to just keep watching. 10/10!
You can hit rank 14 mid week before the reset now that honor is calculated instantly so make sure you have gold in the bag to buy all the weapons so you don't have to do it again.
Woah, honor is calculated in real time now? Was this confirmed?
I'm interested if this is valid...
Dont forget. There can only be 1 rank 14 player per server, per faction, per week.
Classic Grand Marshall here.... yeh, I played all summer with no job.. I must say, PVP BGs was probably the best experience back then. but the grind was insane
Just for the curiosity, which class you played to get there?
@@Kingdomkeyboarder Not the guy you're asking, but I was part of an honor team helping people grind rank 14. The guy I was helping (who did get rank 14) was a warrior. I was a Druid aka WSG Flag running bot.
@@Kingdomkeyboarder I was warrior
@@Kingdomkeyboarder Warrior of course. are there any other classes who got r14 gear?! if yes it's rare
@@wruzzer Rogue here, thought I got payed by someone to no-life it for 4 months :)
I don't think a youtuber has ever made me laugh this much.
I'm pretty sure that Timbermaw Hold was the first faction that I ever became exalted with. And I literally started that process, and completed it, as soon as I ran in to them, while leveling my main. So, this might be the sort of waste of time that I could get in to! Or whatever BC's version of it is!
I actually got rank 14 in vanilla. I made a short video talking about the grind. Took me 5 months of 12 to 16 hour grinding.
I wish my editing was as funny as yours. All your vids are fucking hilarious. The SM dungeon guide still my favorite of yours.
Bigbobbedboi gamez 5 months, holy fuck
@@pinglankek Yeah it was crazy. A lot of people don't seem to realize, even if you could get rank 14 in 3 months under the best possible circumstances, that will never happen. There are always other people trying to get rank 14 that you have to compete with.
My grind took especially long since I was melee. Melee was at a huge disadvantage before BGs came out.
The fucking editing holy shit. Best wow vid I've seen in a LONG time
That television part was classic platinum.
10/10.
That but with asmongold was quite unexpected. And very funny
I get hyped for the new vids man. You’re my fav classic wow TH-camr. Keep it up dude ❤️
Man, you truly have QUALITY videos, you deserve so many more viewers and subscribers. I'm spreading this to all my friends!
Back in the day I knew the regular high warlord of my server personally - It was a married couple, sharing an account. Well, the husband was working the graveyard shift, so with their sleep cycles already out of sync they just no-life'd it for months on end. That hunter was queued for, or in, Arathi Basin nearly 24/7. (relationship goals btw)
So for any of you who kinda want to get to rank 14; Remember the part about competing with players of your own faction for bracket spots? Players like case above is who you will be up against. You have been warned.
This. Majority of Rank 14's account shared, and there's no competing with that by yourself.
Got rank 14 in vanilla. My pvp team controlled alliance PvP on the server. Each week we would switch off who got Rank 14. The rumors of playing 24/7 are untrue. However, it was a commitment. 10-12 hour days in AB and I was an early riser, so I'd play even more. I think I was 22 at the time, so I didn't have much else going on and I didn't care. I think it took 8 weeks before I was there. No win trading, we'd just steamroll everyone. My favorite memory is beating the top Horde PvP team in AB, and they were so upset they stopped playing for the rest of the week. For a while I was the only Rank 14 priest on the server with all the other warriors and paladins.
I think it would be impossible to get to Rank 14 on your own.
8:59 - when you see the login queue
Such premium quality memes packed into this informative video. 10/10.
LOL THAT JOJO's REFERENCE xD! epiccc 1:30
That little zapping scene with Asmon at 9:02 was very original 😂 laughed my ass of
This was really funny, u did good boi!
Holy shit. I have never see one video of this Channel until today. I love it. 10 of 10 for you.
Greetings from Germany. Only 51h Boooois ! HYPE !
I was just in Germany last summer with plat. Wie gents!
Fantastic video once again like you said in the stream the paid guys are a great addition. In no time you'll be a big enough channel to get big man tyrone.
ur editing/animations/sequences pretty op
Was this the most amazing video I have ever seen? Yes. Yes it was.
I fucking love you dude, keep making this top content
Hey I'm Boar Thrills, and i'm gonna teach you how to survive
lmao i legit lost it there
I got rank 13.5 in vanilla. 15 hour days hardcore PVPing for months. The upside our premade never lost a battle for weeks straight. Horde premades AFKd out when they saw us. You play a lot but you own face doing that, so it is a lot of fun
Fortunatly PVP items don't have anything extra compared to raid items so you can skyp this inhumane grind and still be very competitive as a PVP player with PVE items.
The druid pieces are extremely strong all throughout vanilla, rip me.
great video and nice editing and visuals hahaha :D pro man!
Lmao you have the best classic WoW videos on TH-cam sir. In my opinion.
Oh my god, your editing is so fking guuuuuud
I don’t want Rank 14 for the title. I want it for the two handed mace because I am a feral druid
the trick was to get HAND of RAG and get rank 13..
@@powerman2610 finaly...
꧁Travis Russo꧂ Yeah, hand of rag is the 2nd best wep, BUT....... who’s actually going to give hand of rag to a Druid lol :(, Unless you’re a selfish Guild Leader
wow what an incredible video! the acting you made was really entertaining and thoughtfull . love this stuff!
This was freaking hilarious. I havent touched WoW since WOTLK but vanilla is still some of my fondest memories in 30 years of gaming and Im hyped as F for tomorrows release. Nevertheless I never actually considered hitting 14 back then and neevr will now either. This is NOT what made vanilla such an amazing and unique experience. The world pvp combined with grinding your way to 60 as well as challenging end game raids are what made this game so great. BGs actually always have felt half-baked with AV never actually working properly and people ditching the objectives and just rushing for the general and then Resilience gear came out with BC and totally ruined the game and made everyone look the same and epics didnt mean a thing anymore neither did PvE gear since everyone just rushed for easy broken pvp epics . Classic was and will always be the pinacle of WoW.
1:32. Need this as a standalone clip. Perfection. Perfection of a reference
The end of this video summed up how I felt exactly
I LOVED THIS VIDEO. I dream of creating content and I must admit you have creativity I doubt I have. Awesome video!
I LOVE BG'S, i didnt like arena too much in BC and what not, classic pvp might be scuffed but no DK's no arenas im in for life
YOOOO why's nobody talking about the quality of this video?! HILARIOUS! Genuinely laughing out loud here, the channel flicking made me howl
Subbed, amazing work, ty :D
And no I don't want R14 ever
7:54 best part thank me later
What actually happened was that you had 1 premade on each side, both of which dodged each other and only played against (mostly) undergeared and dis-organized randoms. So it just boiled down to how quickly you could cap all 5 points in AB / capture all 3 flags in WSG, while simultaneously farming their graveyard till you're blue in the face. Those that didn't partake in the premade circlejerk ended up account sharing, so you'd run into characters that were literally online 24/7 for months.
I do, but I won’t be
how do you not have more subs? the amount of effort in your vids is amazing
I always thought the "Scout" rank fit my Hunter the most
these videos are incredible and funny. Your editing skills are unmatched and you should have way more subscribers, subbed.
I'd like a full episode about Boar Thrills... :)
WowCrendor made a bunch of them.
Fuck orcs
That's wowcrendor's video and there are tons of them.
Your videos are so high quality and entertaining
This system was trash in vanilla, it will still be trash in classic.
I also read somewhere, that R14 receives a teleport spell, allowing them to warp to any "... is under attack!" locations, while also able to use those special chat channels to notify all players there as well.
BOAR THRILLS- Hey, I wanted to watch that...
I didn't expect these edits, nice vid. 😂👌💯🔥
Problem with R14 is that the gear is kinda worse than late AQ40 / Naxx even for the melee.
As an Ele shaman with R11 and full AQ40 set I saw no point in going further, gear was pretty bad compared to what I had already. Not that I even needed the R11 mount, just wanted the title for the looks.
Also, titles get removed from your list as soon as you de-rank so that's a point to consider as well. It's not like in current WoW, when you can boast your High Warlord for all eternity.
Sure, you can get to R14 faster than most of the guilds clear BWL, yet you'll get outgeared at some point by raiders. And it's not really possible to raid and pvp on the same toon unless you can literally play 24x7.
Hope they rework the PvP rewards a bit.
The side shorts had me dying 😂😂😂! Well, done. Subbed!
Quality content as usual!
Quality profile pic there, pal.
I got to Rank 7 back then I couldn't devote that amount of time to go higher. What made me even more sore was that I sold the gear into TBC with upgrades and the Transmog came much later. Thankfully I kept the mounts and you could buy the older PVP pieces if you ever got the Rank. Respect to the people in who could've made this grind. It required a literal life devotion to get it done and I know quite a few people who were very unemployed at this age in the game grinding that Rank.
Looking back on it all, I feel that twinge of regret because I feel like I wasted a lot of my life being so wrapped up in WoW for so many hours each day, wrecking my sleep schedule, giving myself acid reflux from the late nights that lasted into the early mornings to another day of rushing to get to work and hook up on caffeine to get through the day...
I'm happy with it my crappy rank. I can't fathom the stress it was to max.
I went for r14 in vanilla and i must say it was some of the best times in any mmo even though it was a brutal grind. Many other games have forced me to mindless pve grind to be able to compete in pvp which is my passion. Bdo is the last game i quit that had great pvp mechanics but no way to progress through pvp. If i try classic again i would like to find a good raiding guild to experience the raids, but i would definitely pvp a lot. Go to r11 casual and go for r14 if there is enough time to put in.
R14 grind did make people crazy back in the day. One of the founders of my guild kicked me out because he was going r14 at the same time and did not believe two can make it the same week. He was even account sharing when i was not. Fortunately when the word got out about this i was helped by all the good pvprs of the server and i had the whole week instawin bg parties waiting no matter what time i played. I did beat the villain but as i excpected he also got r14 same week. Whole guild disbanded after that.
All our guild r14 "Monsters of PvP" leaved the game in TBC cause suddenly arena was requiring more skill than grind. I personally think that TBC - WotLK arena reward system was much better than retail or vanilla WoW. I mean, yeah - grinding like there is no tommorow and than getting gear is satisfying, but everyone who can join premade and have a lot of time can do it. While not everyone can get 2 - 2.4k in arenas.
Man i would watch that kodo documentary
I was 4th Grand Marshal on my server.
It was awful. More like 16 hours a day, but you could afk during queues (alliance). I remember one day the servers went down for the whole day, was the only day during the entire grind I got some decent sleep.
Hope they change it for classic.
They should change it. It was so harmful to peoples health, it shouldn't have been designed this way. Alas, they can't change it, not with the whole fanbase expressing #NoChanges.
@@Hrimstal It's a terrible system and well technically they did change it in TBC but people want the Classic experienced untouched and untainted so i don't see them making any kind of changes.
Dude wtf
That fucking moment at 1:25 was absolutely perfect. Have a sub.
Watching this video now preparing in excitement for hitting my rank 14 next wednesday 21/10. It's been 4 months......
GZ
the dramatic scenes were the best thing about the video.
Like for the "Boar Thrills™" documentation
A real vintage indeed
One of the best wow machinima I ever watched!
Dude.. You should be the WoWgod, Nice video editing skills+
amazing editing my man. one of the most underrated wow channels!
Rank 8 on Nost was a pain in the hoop, so I'll be happy to stop at 10 for the full set bonuses.
If anyone hits rank 14 they should automatically be put on a list of people needing an intervention
Edit: 1000/10 for that JoJo skit
Edit #2: Asmongold read my comment on his stream, my TH-cam life is complete
After my R14 grind I was so burned out I basically quit playing so much, don't worry, it takes care of itself.
