I just want to say that the way you are playing is honestly how we all played the first time in some way or another. Don’t listen to people trying to back seat drive YOUR experience. It’s really brought me so much joy watching you explore the world with a sense of wonder. It’s made me appreciate just how special this game is after so many years. Also as a guide in newcomer chat it’s also made me realize how impactful a single “yes I can help” is for new players. Thank you for being you!
I don't care what you get ... I love watching this because you come up with unique adventures in a game I've become numb to. You're giving a fresh pov that is refreshing. Thank you. I hope your journeys are blazing a trail. :)
Love this series! As a 20 year WoW vet, I always tell new players to just go out in the world and have fun at your own pace. Don't fret about the newest content that is available, just go and do what you want and have fun doing it. Too many people think that it's a race to the top, but with games like these, it's best to stop and smell the roses whenever possible. Make your own goals and have your own adventures! That is the fun of MMORPGs! You can do all the high level content when you get there. Just go your own pace and enjoy your time. Also, watch some of the game cinematics as those are some of the best animated cutscenes in the industry. GLHF!
Exactly,I’m taking the slow road by capping every few levels and using lovely Chromie to go through the expansions. It does get a bit repetitive but it’s great for following the story arcs and the characters
I really hope you don't quit playing and making video like this. People used to make videos like this back in the day. It's awesome to see someone doing it again. Most WOW videos these days are people complaining or talking about min maxing.
Hey Butch. I don't usually comment. Or ever, really. And I know it's unlikely that you'll see this. On the off chance you do, I want to shoot some encouraging words off. Your journey in wow has been truly, unequivocally inspiring. I've never seen someone so absorbed in the world that I've taken for granted. Watching you discover these places that I've spent so much time in brings a smile to my face like nothing else. You've reignited my passion for so much of the world, the story and the characters. Your interactions with this game have been nothing short of a generational tale. I will found your channel through subnautica, and I was literally slack jawed when I saw you were playing WoW. Don't feel pressured to show us everything you do! Each expansion has it's own campaign, characters, collectibles and world to explore! Don't forget you can make other characters too! If you randomly get absorbed and play the entire campaign for the Mists of Pandaria, and hit level 80 off screen we will forgive you. Your level does not limit our enjoyment of exploring Azeroth with you, it just expands where you can go. Most of the game is played at max level :). Please, enjoy this world, take your time, do whatever you want, recorded or not. Finally, two quick tips I have for you as a semi-veteran of the world. 1: you can join/start communities/guilds to get engaged with people online and for us, as viewers, to get a chance to help you out if you're stuck off-recording! Up to you of course but keep in mind it's always and option. 2: If you're interested in learning more about the lore without trying to complete all 4000-some quests, (and I've heard others recommend this) a watch through of the in and out of game cutscenes will probably help you get a little bit of a grasp on the world/lore. Once again most importantly, no pressure! Enjoy your time here and don't get into anything you don't want to do! Thank you so much for approaching the dauting task of starting my favorite game in the whole wide world.
@@motorbikemeditations6763 Techincally Mount Neverest is not even in the top 10, but is easiest to climb without a flying mount. Mount Thaldaszus - 11301 feet ??? - 8943 feet (The Sword) Nordrassil - 8148 feet Icecrown Citadel - 6462 feet Stormshroud Peak - 6210 feet Temple of Storms - 5964 feet Teldrassil - 5487 feet Vakthros - 5004 feet Seat of the Aspects - 4872 feet Highmountain - 4740 feet
I think the fact that you couldn't fly before is what made your previous adventures so compelling. Can you imagine how anticlimactic it would have been if you just used high speed momentum based flight to rush to the tip of Northrend? You would have totally missed out on making a new friend, and braving the dangers of the ground and water!
This series makes me so happy. It is so touching to see the pure joy of experience things for the first time. A lot of things we take for granted now after 20 years.
@@TySoVm fair enough, bud. opinions. every1 has a right to their opinion. whether other people agree or don't... it should not really matter, if people have the freedom of speech.
There's always going to be hater's brother. You single handedly got me back into WoW. But, this time... I'm stopping to smell the flowers and inviting positive interactions. Thank you.
After the announcement of classic fresh, I'm going to get back into it too. I'll also do my best to slow down and appreciate the small things. Haven't played since shadowlands was about halfway done.
Usually I'm just a silent watcher of youtube videos, but my god this has to be the most unique and somehow beautiful new player experience I've ever witnessed. As a long time wow player which is playing this game for almost 20 years. I got lost in the "intended" game mechanics this game offers, but watching this feels like i felt the first time I entered this world. It is incredible what this game has to offer and your way to enhance this experience with music and narration is just incredible. Thank you for this video! It is a joy to watch
I laughed, I cried and then you hit the nail on the head and I actually peed my pants. "There are so many distractions in this game".... OMG. Don't get distracted... don't get distracted. My daily mantra and I haven't played this game for just a couple months... I'm 13 years in. LOL... it doesn't get better, just sayin' And... let me just say about the naysayers telling you you're not playing the game the right way. You're playing the way I play it and there are a LOT of me in this game. You do you! And have a ball doing it because your vids are a blast to watch.
Subscribed. This is now the 3rd installment I’ve watched of your exploration of WoW. As someone who has played for nearly 20 years, it’s incredible to see the game through new eyes. There’s a lot that long time players have become conditioned to, like mounting and flying, zones that we spent years in, revisiting some of those zones later on, etc. However, seeing the game through your eyes is like a breath of fresh air. It’s very heartwarming to see the excitement, awe, and surprise you display. You even *read* the quests, which so many of us long time players no longer do. If you decide to stick with the game for a while, I would highly suggest you try to experience it in chronological order. Starting with the vanilla world, moving into TBC, WotLK, etc. You can easily google the chronological order and Chromie is able to direct you into those timelines. Dragonflight is definitely a friendly new-player experience, but if you enjoy the actual stories in the game then you’ll love being able to quest through the zones that tell those stories in order so you can piece together “why” things are the way they are. You’ll also be introduced to key characters that have significance to the story. Characters like Malfurion or Tyrande. Jaina, Arthas, and Uther. There’s *a lot* of story that can keep you occupied for a *long* time.
Love that you keep it up and still enjoy it... we sure enjoy watching you explore the vastness of Azeroth... and OrgriMAR 🤣 Also... Veritistrasz quest is the most beautiful quest Blizzard has done over the years. I've played since release but nothing beats that. Love from Stockholm, Sweden 💙💛
I have never clicked on a video so fast! Your sense of wonder and commitment to playing this game how you want to play it is such a breath of fresh air when so many folks have gotten jaded and wrapped up in displeasure with the direction of the game not going how they'd like it to go. But you remind me of all the things that made me fall in love with this game (which I didn't want to do ... I initially just signed up so my kiddo could explore with supervision) and damn it, every one of your WoW vids has made me weepy. Thank you for this reminder.
Watching you experience wow for the first time (from a 20 years' wow addict) makes me so happy and nostalgic! May your adventures go on, and I do hope you get to make this a full time job because you're incredibly relatable and likeable. I also sat down with the old dwarf for a while some time ago so this brought a tear to my eye. Big hugs and all the best!
I found your channel from your first WoW video and man I must say bro your really good at this style of content your a very good story teller and you need to continue playing WoW and doing these videos lol
Been playing since The Burning Crusade. There's something wholesome about watching someone experience World of Warcraft for the very first time, and it brings back fond memories of when I first started my adventure. Keep them coming!
I've been playing WoW since vanilla and I still like to do silly things like this. I love watching you just being genuinely happy in Azeroth. I feel so bad for chuckling at the underwater portions because your fear was so palpable. No matter how you choose to play, WoW has a lot to offer, glad to see people discovering it and playing it in whatever way they want.
In the Orc language, place names all end in "mar" and it is pronounced like in "march". The capitol is named Orgrimmar after the Old Horde Orc chieftain named Orgrim Doomhammer. This is literally "Orgrim's City".
@@BANTHAxFODDER i mean, irl, that literally translates to 'home home' .. so there probably isn't one... that said, there was somewhere in saxon england basically called househome (currently it's called horsham)
The impact you do to especally me and many others in the wow community is truly amazing. Its like a time capsule of myself in a sense. So glad you are enjoying the game and being recognized haha cheers.
I understand the exploration aspect, but I do recommend doing introduction quests for the expansions. That opens up much more for exploration. Different timelines, different dimensions, realm of the dead, mechanical gnomes, basically Cthulhu's realm, etc. Take Vash'jir, you actually get better swimming, underwater mount and permanent underwater breathing after going through the intro
The joy and excitement of your videos reminds me not only of my first time playing 20 years ago... but also of when we got the GM of my TTRPG group into the game. She's 73, and just the most awesome old lady you could meet. We spent hours just running around and letting her explore. She prefers steady flying over Skyriding because, as she says, her old reflexes just aren't what they used to be.
You are playing the game perfectly. These are the best WOW videos I’ve ever seen. I laugh. I cry. I yell, “Don’t do that!” These are going to go so viral!
We all know at this point it’s not your first time doing anything and you know exactly what you’re doing, but we still love it! Your storytelling is amazing. Keep it up!
Hey man! WoW vet here, started playing since I was 11 (but been watching a family member play for a couple years before) and now in my mid 20s. It's a beautiful starting experience! You're truly experiencing the game like we did back in the days. The wonders in your eyes at everything, the beautiful interactions with the players, the crazy useless (but truly invaluable) quests you go through! This is so wonderful. There's no "right" way to play the game other than to have fun, and you're absolutely doing it the right way. Truly touching. I do notice that you want to know more about the lore of the game, and it's gonna be tough unless you're willing to watch lore videos on TH-cam... which truly isn't the same as playing. But I think it can be fun to explore and learn little by little. I highly suggest creating a worgen and picking Gilneas as a starting zone. It's a zone that you can't leave until you're done with the quest chain, like th tutorial. But if you read the quests, you're in for a good time. This questline is one of my favorites!
I am reliving my journey through you :). Really enjoyable videos please keep at it. Also Yorkshire lass here I say Ogrimaar like "far". Preach would have answered you on stream.
I gotta say.. I've watched these videos multiple times and I love them! The excitement I feel when a new player experience the universe of Wow really excites me! I truly wish I could have the same opportunity to experience Wow for the first time, a new... I am looking forward to your videos! Keep it up!
I would love to see you explore a spooky zone like Duskwood👻 or Drustvar🧙🏻♀️ and do some questing there! Many players argue they have the best quests in the game. You’ll need to go on your Alliance character though as the quests there are only available to them. To get to Drustvar, visit Chromie in Stormwind and switch your timeline to Battle for Azeroth and it will automatically give you the quest to start your journey! Thank you for these videos! I’m loving them!
I loved seeing you enjoying such small things in one of my favorite games, you remember me when I started at cataclysm, I just played like you did and it was awesome, I was 11 yo. Now I got back to the cataclysm classic servers 14 years later cause of ur vids. And it is being awesome again. Thanks man
Loved that your toon got recognised, I know I’m on the lookout for you too. As others have said, love the fresh PoV on wow and all the different environments. The scenery is epic. Keep the vids coming!
Platinum WoW has some FANTASTIC videos about specific parts of the lore/story. Honestly just playing the game and looking up specifics you want to know more about is a great way to start.
Glad you got to see some more of the game's magic before being plunged into Vashj'ir! The music and atmosphere makes it one of my favorite zones, but a lot of folks hate it and I can see how thalassophobia makes being there pretty hellish! I've really liked how you've set your own goals that have let you see a whole lot of Azeroth!
In all the years of playing WOW, Im learning new things from you here and have got me asking loads of questions. As someone else has said, enjoy the game the way you want to play it and not how others say you should. Keep up the great content and I very much look forward to your next adventures..
I have played since day 1 with many many breaks due to life and fatigue from “having” to do dailies/weeklies just to watch ilevel go up, but watching you just enjoy the game and the excitement you have for everything really excites me again like playing my first year all over again! I will say that if visuals move you, you might consider Final Fantasy 14. Unfortunately, you would have to play through the story (or pay to skip the story) in order to fly, but its graphics and details are stunning. Keep up the great content and play however you enjoy playing. WOW is known for its toxic community, so just ignore them. Enjoy!🎉
I'm so delighted that you found Veritistrasz and got to enjoy his quest. He was such a wonderful character to run into and get to just sit and learn more about. I don't want to give you any spoilers, but it's worth mentioning that there is a book you can pick up in the Waking Shore that will give you more dialogue with Veritistrasz. It's in a place that is dangerous, and involves the Black Dragonflight.
I’ve played WoW off and on since 2004. I started watching you with Subnautica. I never expected those two worlds to collide but here we are. Times are good! And you continue to make fun to watch content
I am suffer from Thalassophobia as well. Watching you in Vash'jir is enough to make me shiver and want to hide. For those of us who suffer this as well, we're here for you. We'll go on this journey together. I remember questing out on Vash'jir when Cataclysm first came out. My computer was a potato so I went through the entire zone with graphics turned all the way down. You couldn't see more than maybe 50 ft in front of you. Things literally came out of the fog after me. Worse than Silent Hill.
Sup I've been playing wow for 13 years and I fucking love how you aproach the game I watched all your wow videos and now I'm a big fan, 33:15 I was rolling on my floor from laughter I hope that you eventually reach the new expansion and see whats the end game about, cheers for you I will watch your career with great intrest
These videos brought back my love for WoW, the kind of love I had for it 14 years ago. I now spend more time just climbing up trees to chill, stopping to explore pretty places like I used to as a kid, rather than just grinding mindlessly. Thanks :')
Really enjoyed your trip into Azeroth. I have been playing WoW for almost 20 years and when I started at level 1 all those years ago, I too just started exploring and I died a lot and other players helped a lot. These videos were very fun to watch. Cheers!
Seeing you play this game through fresh eyes is so wholesome. Ive been playing since The Burning Crusade and your videos have brought back the feeling that I had back then. Play the game how you like, these videos are fantastic and watching your reactions to things I take for granted now are priceless
Shoutout to Argent Dawn, the single best EU realm for any newbie to delve into the game, because players behave like they live in the game, not in the real world. You have no idea how different the world is outside of RP realms.
It’s so fun coming across groups of roleplayers doing something in character, events that get held and guilds travelling to different areas. AD is great for more immersion
Hey bro! Now that you have found the deepest and highest points, most south/north/west/east points in Azeroth. You should do the same on the other planet in Wow, Outland… Keep up the good work!
"the world is big and old" "like your mum" wonderful exit also, I can't believe it's been 10 years since I started playing, and im still figuring out how the game works today! I was 9 years old, and my older brother introduced me to wow, it was the 10th anniversary and i remember how excited i was when i got the molten corgi pet, little me loved to create all these pretty characters (mainly blood and night elves lol), be amazed at all the mounts you could get, and explore all that azeroth had to offer :) i really enjoyed watching you play wow, it reminded me of the whimsy of playing it for the first time
Keep doing you Bu... er.. Fartfroth. Your appreciation for "the firsts" is such a unique perspective that I think we take for granted as we age. Story is hard to know because of how much has changed or even straight up removed over the years. A YT'er by the name of Nobbel87 has some great videos to explain what all has happened story-wise since the beginning of WoW (and, even prior - per the "Warcraft" universe). That said, do beware potential spoilers.
I'm someone who does the dungeon-ing and raiding, not all of us do exclusively that though I know a lot that do :) I'm glad you've met such nice people on your journeys! Everyone has their own style of fun, I'm a bit sad you didn't look around the new expansion more as Azj-Kahet is very thematic and Hallowfall is really pretty. That said the dragon isles is by far my favourite place, the emerald dream you can visit from there is so pretty too, but maybe I'm biased with that being my first expansion and playing a dracthyr. Your content is always a nice reminder for me that I should go around and do some more wow photography for my little adventure album. I hope your future journeys bring you joy :)
If you are interested in learning about the full story of the world IN GAME, then there is a nice trick. you are already aware that you can revisit old stories of prior expansions by using chromie timewalking right ? the thing is once you reach 70 it will automatically kick you out of chromie time. so, what you want to do is, once you reach 69 (nice), you go to orgrimmar to an npc that can block your xp gains. so you'll stay forever lvl 69 until you talk to that npc again to unlock the xp. then you can just do the full story of each expansion in order. Just pick Burning Crusade then when you are done with it go to chromie and pick wrath of the lich king, etc etc... It's a really nice natural way to learn about the whole world in game. then if you want the story of vanilla wow just play classic era ^^ have fun ! :D
Here, have my comment as a sacrifice for the algorithm gods! Jokes aside, thanks for your fresh perspective on a game i loved but lost passion for. You made me want to adventure again!
These videos have been so fun to watch. I myself have only been playing wow for 6 months and still find myself gawking at things. I really fell in love with the rp community in wow, folks walking around playing a character is so neat and endlessly fun. If you ever feel like a companion in your journeys, I've got a few horde toons I could play on. Aliance is better though ;)
This series is genuinely making me emotional because it feels so much like how WoW felt to me when I was 10 and exploring the world for the first time with my 11 year old brother. It felt so huge and exciting, and we were always setting our own goals just like you are in this series instead of just following the questlines all the time. It's been 16 years since I started playing and I still come back for every expansion, but it will never be quite the same as it was when it was all new to me and the potential was limitless ♥
I've been playing WoW on and off since around late 2006 (right before the release of WoW's first expansion), it is absolutely impossible for me to enjoy the game the way you do, but watching your videos actually makes me appreciate the game a little more. I haven't stopped to take a look at my surroundings for, I don't know, 15 years or so. It is incredibly refreshing, amazing content man!
Love this stuff man. As said in a different video, I haven't played WoW in ages, but this makes me want to go back, start fresh and see what happens. Keep it up!
the amount of people giving you gold when you say you're new makes a jaded person like myself who has played this game for over a decade filled with hope that there are people who aren't toxic as all hell who play this game.
dude this series is fantastic, veritistrasz hit alot of us super hard, and you getting out of that hole by wall jumping made me so proud lmaoo, I remember all those firsts when I started playing and it feels great watching you achieve them in real time, keep it up man this is some of the best watches I've had in a minutee, also Watch the cinematics and do some reacts, always does good numbers and we're invested in your wow experience at this point to make it even more worth a watch, cheers m8!
32 minutes. "what is that, its freaking me out" - not really know what it is, but thats why the insectoids are freaked out too. and no it is not the mists of pandaria. 1h16m: no that was not the deepest point of vash'jir. you can swim into that maelstrom/whirlpool down there too, and end in a big big cave under it. It holds the Entrancde to the Dungeon "Throne of the Tides".
I love this series! It's so heartwarming to see you get so excited for things that used to excite us longtime players but that we're just taken for granted nowadays =D
I've played World of Warcraft since I was 11 years old which is 17 years ago and this video really captures what it was like for me when I first started playing the game. I think over the years we as players forget the magic and turn the game into a bit of a check list. It's really nice to see a new players perspective again as I think many of us old school players have forgetting to just enjoy the game.
I really enjoy watching you play WoW, experiencing everything for the first time. I've always been playing solo cause I want to enjoy the world at my pace but after years of playing I got a little ambitious when it gets to collecting mounts, pets and achievements so I sometimes don't take enough time to just smell the roses. Thank you for reminding me. I'd suggest you check out the achievements. There are thousands of achievements for literally everything from discovering the world to searching for secret items or just fun stuff. This game just never ends.
honestly your content is so enjoyable to watch! id literally watch you play through the whole campaign of each zone! you deserve WAY more than 55k subs!
In tirisfall glades, in the mountain forest west of deathknell is a fairy ring. A circle of magical mushrooms. Every 15 or so minutes the creatures of the forest gather to listen to the faerie dragons sing and perform some kind of ritual.
Vaishjir dungeon is in vortex and it's deeper than when you were if you enter vortex it takes you next to dungeon entrance(deeper) but not inside dungeon. If you'll be able to fight fear of depths I recommend checking it and deepholm out even tho they are from oldest part of game (wow cataclysm) like your vids, keep it up.
Around the time Warlords was out, I was part of a guild created by a certain youtuber, not for video content but just for help and fun. It was a great way to make friends to do things in the game with, since everyone had similar interests and investment into the game. I feel like you would attract a lot of people who genuinely love WoW in all it's not-always-perfect glory, who would be helpful and fun. I know I would love to show off some of my favourite haunts from 20+ yrs of game play, or escorting you through old raids just for the sake of showing you neat little details or lore. Hardly anyone who played so long ago still have an active interest in the game, it's difficult to find new friends since people really seem to keep to themselves these days. I think it would be pretty neat to join a guild if you create one.
Been loving these videos! Reminds me of playing the game for the first time all the way back twenty years ago in a very very fun way. If you ever need anything in game I believe we play on the same server. Always happy to help folks new to the game!
This series has made me take my time going through old zones I never properly visited. It's really nice to remember how it all looks through fresh eyes.
I have watched your two previous videos about WoW, LOVED them! Soooo exited you made a new one, because your storytelling is so comfortable to listen to, and your journeys bring back so many fond memories
These are a lot of fun! I've played forever & you remind me of how cool it was at the beginning. I still love it! And, Vash'jir is a huge pain in the ass! I hour you keep playing and enjoying it. There's a lot to learn. Wait til you get to dungeons & raids!
This is so refreshing 🤩 I hope you keep posting updates on your progress! Its so fun👹 Ive been playing on and off since LichKing, loving the game- great zone out from daily life stuff, and when i cant play- this is great to watch😃 good luck with the venturing! I hope you keep meeting the good og helpful ppl 👍
My friend, i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend checking your map if you feel lost, when you press M you can see "Chapters" which are the main storyline, also the main storyline has a different icon! It looks like a shield behind the exclamation point! Best of luck on your journey my friend, also, watch some cinematics!!!
What is the scariest place in the whole of World of Warcraft?
duskwood :D
The shadowlands 😢
The Maw
Vashjir
Stormwind, full of enemys
You should make a video where you watch all the cinematics, BfA, Shadowlands, so you get to know some on the main characters.
100% needs to do this!
I agree!
Adding to this: watch the lore videos from platinumwow
I thought this when I watched the first video please let us see this!
Or just do the main story questline
Hey im Oranis!!! Happy that i made it in the video, it was a fun adventure :)
Sorry you got killed by old god blood in the deeps.
I just want to say that the way you are playing is honestly how we all played the first time in some way or another. Don’t listen to people trying to back seat drive YOUR experience. It’s really brought me so much joy watching you explore the world with a sense of wonder. It’s made me appreciate just how special this game is after so many years. Also as a guide in newcomer chat it’s also made me realize how impactful a single “yes I can help” is for new players. Thank you for being you!
I don't care what you get ... I love watching this because you come up with unique adventures in a game I've become numb to. You're giving a fresh pov that is refreshing. Thank you. I hope your journeys are blazing a trail. :)
Love this series! As a 20 year WoW vet, I always tell new players to just go out in the world and have fun at your own pace. Don't fret about the newest content that is available, just go and do what you want and have fun doing it. Too many people think that it's a race to the top, but with games like these, it's best to stop and smell the roses whenever possible. Make your own goals and have your own adventures! That is the fun of MMORPGs! You can do all the high level content when you get there. Just go your own pace and enjoy your time. Also, watch some of the game cinematics as those are some of the best animated cutscenes in the industry. GLHF!
best animated cutscenes in the industry by a significant margin
Exactly,I’m taking the slow road by capping every few levels and using lovely Chromie to go through the expansions.
It does get a bit repetitive but it’s great for following the story arcs and the characters
I really hope you don't quit playing and making video like this.
People used to make videos like this back in the day. It's awesome to see someone doing it again.
Most WOW videos these days are people complaining or talking about min maxing.
Hey Butch. I don't usually comment. Or ever, really. And I know it's unlikely that you'll see this. On the off chance you do, I want to shoot some encouraging words off.

Your level does not limit our enjoyment of exploring Azeroth with you, it just expands where you can go. Most of the game is played at max level :). Please, enjoy this world, take your time, do whatever you want, recorded or not.

"How do I pronounce Orgrimmar?"
> Orgrimmar
> See I was right, Orgrimmer
-_-
@JohnyFirst Joo wuzz ryte. Pronounced it perfectly, Orgrimmar, heh like theres more than one way...
Orgrim marr... Like Johnny Marr. And try Mount Neverest (the highest mountain in WoW)
@@motorbikemeditations6763 Techincally Mount Neverest is not even in the top 10, but is easiest to climb without a flying mount.
Mount Thaldaszus - 11301 feet

He pronounced it right though.
I think the fact that you couldn't fly before is what made your previous adventures so compelling. Can you imagine how anticlimactic it would have been if you just used high speed momentum based flight to rush to the tip of Northrend? You would have totally missed out on making a new friend, and braving the dangers of the ground and water!
This series makes me so happy. It is so touching to see the pure joy of experience things for the first time. A lot of things we take for granted now after 20 years.
The best wow series on youtube is back! let me get the popcorn!
i still think rav's one was better. but, let's be honest. likes and dislikes.
bro wtf is this walking around
@@XamiakassBarney's was better than Rav IMO.
@@TySoVm fair enough, bud. opinions. every1 has a right to their opinion. whether other people agree or don't... it should not really matter, if people have the freedom of speech.
@@TySoVm Both are so good tbh.
There's always going to be hater's brother. You single handedly got me back into WoW. But, this time... I'm stopping to smell the flowers and inviting positive interactions. Thank you.
After the announcement of classic fresh, I'm going to get back into it too. I'll also do my best to slow down and appreciate the small things. Haven't played since shadowlands was about halfway done.
Usually I'm just a silent watcher of youtube videos, but my god this has to be the most unique and somehow beautiful new player experience I've ever witnessed. As a long time wow player which is playing this game for almost 20 years. I got lost in the "intended" game mechanics this game offers, but watching this feels like i felt the first time I entered this world. It is incredible what this game has to offer and your way to enhance this experience with music and narration is just incredible. Thank you for this video! It is a joy to watch
I laughed, I cried and then you hit the nail on the head and I actually peed my pants. "There are so many distractions in this game".... OMG. Don't get distracted... don't get distracted. My daily mantra and I haven't played this game for just a couple months... I'm 13 years in. LOL... it doesn't get better, just sayin'
And... let me just say about the naysayers telling you you're not playing the game the right way. You're playing the way I play it and there are a LOT of me in this game. You do you! And have a ball doing it because your vids are a blast to watch.
These are the best wow commercials I've seen in 20 years.
I always look forward to your videos these days. They are so much fun.
No raids, no mythic dungeons, no wowhead guides. Just pure exploration.
Your videos remind me of why I love World of Warcraft.
Hell yeah brother. I've been waiting for another part of your WoW adventures.
Inject this stuff into my veins.
I am genuinely loving this series. It's such an incredible breath of fresh air to WoW content.
Subscribed. This is now the 3rd installment I’ve watched of your exploration of WoW. As someone who has played for nearly 20 years, it’s incredible to see the game through new eyes. There’s a lot that long time players have become conditioned to, like mounting and flying, zones that we spent years in, revisiting some of those zones later on, etc. However, seeing the game through your eyes is like a breath of fresh air. It’s very heartwarming to see the excitement, awe, and surprise you display. You even *read* the quests, which so many of us long time players no longer do. If you decide to stick with the game for a while, I would highly suggest you try to experience it in chronological order. Starting with the vanilla world, moving into TBC, WotLK, etc. You can easily google the chronological order and Chromie is able to direct you into those timelines. Dragonflight is definitely a friendly new-player experience, but if you enjoy the actual stories in the game then you’ll love being able to quest through the zones that tell those stories in order so you can piece together “why” things are the way they are. You’ll also be introduced to key characters that have significance to the story. Characters like Malfurion or Tyrande. Jaina, Arthas, and Uther. There’s *a lot* of story that can keep you occupied for a *long* time.
"keep you occupied for a long time." is an understatement...
i love how long these videos are!
Love that you keep it up and still enjoy it... we sure enjoy watching you explore the vastness of Azeroth... and OrgriMAR 🤣
Also... Veritistrasz quest is the most beautiful quest Blizzard has done over the years. I've played since release but nothing beats that.
Love from Stockholm, Sweden 💙💛
I have never clicked on a video so fast! Your sense of wonder and commitment to playing this game how you want to play it is such a breath of fresh air when so many folks have gotten jaded and wrapped up in displeasure with the direction of the game not going how they'd like it to go. But you remind me of all the things that made me fall in love with this game (which I didn't want to do ... I initially just signed up so my kiddo could explore with supervision) and damn it, every one of your WoW vids has made me weepy. Thank you for this reminder.
Watching you experience wow for the first time (from a 20 years' wow addict) makes me so happy and nostalgic! May your adventures go on, and I do hope you get to make this a full time job because you're incredibly relatable and likeable.
I also sat down with the old dwarf for a while some time ago so this brought a tear to my eye.
Big hugs and all the best!
I found your channel from your first WoW video and man I must say bro your really good at this style of content your a very good story teller and you need to continue playing WoW and doing these videos lol
Been playing since The Burning Crusade. There's something wholesome about watching someone experience World of Warcraft for the very first time, and it brings back fond memories of when I first started my adventure. Keep them coming!
I've been playing WoW since vanilla and I still like to do silly things like this. I love watching you just being genuinely happy in Azeroth. I feel so bad for chuckling at the underwater portions because your fear was so palpable. No matter how you choose to play, WoW has a lot to offer, glad to see people discovering it and playing it in whatever way they want.
In the Orc language, place names all end in "mar" and it is pronounced like in "march". The capitol is named Orgrimmar after the Old Horde Orc chieftain named Orgrim Doomhammer. This is literally "Orgrim's City".
nerd
much like 'holm' or 'stead' irl.
@@davidaward82 Whats the wow equivalent to a holmstead then?
@@BANTHAxFODDER i mean, irl, that literally translates to 'home home' .. so there probably isn't one...
that said, there was somewhere in saxon england basically called househome (currently it's called horsham)
@@BANTHAxFODDER there shouldn't be a "holmstead" although if it's a homestead in like Deepholm, that would technically be a holmstead.
Someone get this man the Seahorse mount
The impact you do to especally me and many others in the wow community is truly amazing. Its like a time capsule of myself in a sense. So glad you are enjoying the game and being recognized haha cheers.
I understand the exploration aspect, but I do recommend doing introduction quests for the expansions. That opens up much more for exploration. Different timelines, different dimensions, realm of the dead, mechanical gnomes, basically Cthulhu's realm, etc.
Take Vash'jir, you actually get better swimming, underwater mount and permanent underwater breathing after going through the intro
The joy and excitement of your videos reminds me not only of my first time playing 20 years ago... but also of when we got the GM of my TTRPG group into the game. She's 73, and just the most awesome old lady you could meet. We spent hours just running around and letting her explore.
She prefers steady flying over Skyriding because, as she says, her old reflexes just aren't what they used to be.
You are playing the game perfectly. These are the best WOW videos I’ve ever seen. I laugh. I cry. I yell, “Don’t do that!”
These are going to go so viral!
We all know at this point it’s not your first time doing anything and you know exactly what you’re doing, but we still love it!
Your storytelling is amazing.
Keep it up!
Hey man! WoW vet here, started playing since I was 11 (but been watching a family member play for a couple years before) and now in my mid 20s. It's a beautiful starting experience! You're truly experiencing the game like we did back in the days. The wonders in your eyes at everything, the beautiful interactions with the players, the crazy useless (but truly invaluable) quests you go through! This is so wonderful. There's no "right" way to play the game other than to have fun, and you're absolutely doing it the right way.
Truly touching.
I do notice that you want to know more about the lore of the game, and it's gonna be tough unless you're willing to watch lore videos on TH-cam... which truly isn't the same as playing. But I think it can be fun to explore and learn little by little.
I highly suggest creating a worgen and picking Gilneas as a starting zone. It's a zone that you can't leave until you're done with the quest chain, like th tutorial. But if you read the quests, you're in for a good time. This questline is one of my favorites!
Best series i am watching atm, 🎉🎉
I am reliving my journey through you :). Really enjoyable videos please keep at it. Also Yorkshire lass here I say Ogrimaar like "far". Preach would have answered you on stream.
I gotta say.. I've watched these videos multiple times and I love them!
The excitement I feel when a new player experience the universe of Wow really excites me!
I truly wish I could have the same opportunity to experience Wow for the first time, a new...
I am looking forward to your videos! Keep it up!
I would love to see you explore a spooky zone like Duskwood👻 or Drustvar🧙🏻♀️ and do some questing there! Many players argue they have the best quests in the game. You’ll need to go on your Alliance character though as the quests there are only available to them. To get to Drustvar, visit Chromie in Stormwind and switch your timeline to Battle for Azeroth and it will automatically give you the quest to start your journey! Thank you for these videos! I’m loving them!
Seeing the game through your eyes as a newcomer, full of enthusiasm and wonder, for a game I have been playing for so many years, has been a treat!
I loved seeing you enjoying such small things in one of my favorite games, you remember me when I started at cataclysm, I just played like you did and it was awesome, I was 11 yo. Now I got back to the cataclysm classic servers 14 years later cause of ur vids. And it is being awesome again. Thanks man
Loved that your toon got recognised, I know I’m on the lookout for you too.
As others have said, love the fresh PoV on wow and all the different environments. The scenery is epic. Keep the vids coming!
Platinum WoW has some FANTASTIC videos about specific parts of the lore/story. Honestly just playing the game and looking up specifics you want to know more about is a great way to start.
50:54 "I thanked our kind stranger for his time"
Oh yea, classic ButchX3 moment
(iron)Ore-Grim(reaper)-Mar(melade) it´s how i pronounce it.
Iron Reaper Melade sounds much better :P
Glad you got to see some more of the game's magic before being plunged into Vashj'ir! The music and atmosphere makes it one of my favorite zones, but a lot of folks hate it and I can see how thalassophobia makes being there pretty hellish! I've really liked how you've set your own goals that have let you see a whole lot of Azeroth!
In all the years of playing WOW, Im learning new things from you here and have got me asking loads of questions. As someone else has said, enjoy the game the way you want to play it and not how others say you should. Keep up the great content and I very much look forward to your next adventures..
I have played since day 1 with many many breaks due to life and fatigue from “having” to do dailies/weeklies just to watch ilevel go up, but watching you just enjoy the game and the excitement you have for everything really excites me again like playing my first year all over again! I will say that if visuals move you, you might consider Final Fantasy 14. Unfortunately, you would have to play through the story (or pay to skip the story) in order to fly, but its graphics and details are stunning. Keep up the great content and play however you enjoy playing. WOW is known for its toxic community, so just ignore them. Enjoy!🎉
I'm so delighted that you found Veritistrasz and got to enjoy his quest. He was such a wonderful character to run into and get to just sit and learn more about.
I don't want to give you any spoilers, but it's worth mentioning that there is a book you can pick up in the Waking Shore that will give you more dialogue with Veritistrasz. It's in a place that is dangerous, and involves the Black Dragonflight.
I’ve played WoW off and on since 2004. I started watching you with Subnautica. I never expected those two worlds to collide but here we are. Times are good! And you continue to make fun to watch content
I am suffer from Thalassophobia as well. Watching you in Vash'jir is enough to make me shiver and want to hide. For those of us who suffer this as well, we're here for you. We'll go on this journey together. I remember questing out on Vash'jir when Cataclysm first came out. My computer was a potato so I went through the entire zone with graphics turned all the way down. You couldn't see more than maybe 50 ft in front of you. Things literally came out of the fog after me. Worse than Silent Hill.
Sup
I've been playing wow for 13 years and I fucking love how you aproach the game
I watched all your wow videos and now I'm a big fan, 33:15 I was rolling on my floor from laughter
I hope that you eventually reach the new expansion and see whats the end game about, cheers for you
I will watch your career with great intrest
Next video go to the most secret places, the Easter eggs but only get your information from other players?
These videos brought back my love for WoW, the kind of love I had for it 14 years ago. I now spend more time just climbing up trees to chill, stopping to explore pretty places like I used to as a kid, rather than just grinding mindlessly. Thanks :')
A Kung-fu Orc with that hair do, LOL, you are way too funny mate. 😂
I love how you play WoW, the sense of exploration and just having fun is refreshing and reminds me of my first experience with the game.
Really enjoyed your trip into Azeroth. I have been playing WoW for almost 20 years and when I started at level 1 all those years ago, I too just started exploring and I died a lot and other players helped a lot. These videos were very fun to watch. Cheers!
Seeing you play this game through fresh eyes is so wholesome. Ive been playing since The Burning Crusade and your videos have brought back the feeling that I had back then. Play the game how you like, these videos are fantastic and watching your reactions to things I take for granted now are priceless
Shoutout to Argent Dawn, the single best EU realm for any newbie to delve into the game, because players behave like they live in the game, not in the real world. You have no idea how different the world is outside of RP realms.
It’s so fun coming across groups of roleplayers doing something in character, events that get held and guilds travelling to different areas. AD is great for more immersion
I remember being like 12 and playing on rp realms, my, uhm, "area of expertise" was goldshire inn...
@@DsgSleazy that it is until now, xept only degenerates go there, for obvious reasons
as someone who's played the game from (almost) the beginning, it's so much fun to watch someone discover the game for the first time.
I am going to go back to WoW and make videos just because i have been watching how much fun you are having! Thanks man, you are so fun to watch!
Thank you for watching!
Hey bro! Now that you have found the deepest and highest points, most south/north/west/east points in Azeroth. You should do the same on the other planet in Wow, Outland… Keep up the good work!
Argus and Draenor: Am I nothing to you?!
"the world is big and old"
"like your mum"
wonderful exit
also, I can't believe it's been 10 years since I started playing, and im still figuring out how the game works today! I was 9 years old, and my older brother introduced me to wow, it was the 10th anniversary and i remember how excited i was when i got the molten corgi pet, little me loved to create all these pretty characters (mainly blood and night elves lol), be amazed at all the mounts you could get, and explore all that azeroth had to offer :) i really enjoyed watching you play wow, it reminded me of the whimsy of playing it for the first time
Keep playing the game the way you are, this is something special.
Keep doing you Bu... er.. Fartfroth. Your appreciation for "the firsts" is such a unique perspective that I think we take for granted as we age.
Story is hard to know because of how much has changed or even straight up removed over the years. A YT'er by the name of Nobbel87 has some great videos to explain what all has happened story-wise since the beginning of WoW (and, even prior - per the "Warcraft" universe). That said, do beware potential spoilers.
I'm someone who does the dungeon-ing and raiding, not all of us do exclusively that though I know a lot that do :)
I'm glad you've met such nice people on your journeys!
Everyone has their own style of fun, I'm a bit sad you didn't look around the new expansion more as Azj-Kahet is very thematic and Hallowfall is really pretty. That said the dragon isles is by far my favourite place, the emerald dream you can visit from there is so pretty too, but maybe I'm biased with that being my first expansion and playing a dracthyr.
Your content is always a nice reminder for me that I should go around and do some more wow photography for my little adventure album.
I hope your future journeys bring you joy :)
If you are interested in learning about the full story of the world IN GAME, then there is a nice trick. you are already aware that you can revisit old stories of prior expansions by using chromie timewalking right ? the thing is once you reach 70 it will automatically kick you out of chromie time. so, what you want to do is, once you reach 69 (nice), you go to orgrimmar to an npc that can block your xp gains. so you'll stay forever lvl 69 until you talk to that npc again to unlock the xp. then you can just do the full story of each expansion in order. Just pick Burning Crusade then when you are done with it go to chromie and pick wrath of the lich king, etc etc...
It's a really nice natural way to learn about the whole world in game.
then if you want the story of vanilla wow just play classic era ^^
have fun ! :D
Bro gonna spend lifetime going thru every expansion😭
Here, have my comment as a sacrifice for the algorithm gods!
Jokes aside, thanks for your fresh perspective on a game i loved but lost passion for. You made me want to adventure again!
These videos have been so fun to watch. I myself have only been playing wow for 6 months and still find myself gawking at things. I really fell in love with the rp community in wow, folks walking around playing a character is so neat and endlessly fun. If you ever feel like a companion in your journeys, I've got a few horde toons I could play on. Aliance is better though ;)
This series is genuinely making me emotional because it feels so much like how WoW felt to me when I was 10 and exploring the world for the first time with my 11 year old brother. It felt so huge and exciting, and we were always setting our own goals just like you are in this series instead of just following the questlines all the time. It's been 16 years since I started playing and I still come back for every expansion, but it will never be quite the same as it was when it was all new to me and the potential was limitless ♥
I've been playing WoW on and off since around late 2006 (right before the release of WoW's first expansion), it is absolutely impossible for me to enjoy the game the way you do, but watching your videos actually makes me appreciate the game a little more. I haven't stopped to take a look at my surroundings for, I don't know, 15 years or so. It is incredibly refreshing, amazing content man!
Love this stuff man. As said in a different video, I haven't played WoW in ages, but this makes me want to go back, start fresh and see what happens. Keep it up!
the amount of people giving you gold when you say you're new makes a jaded person like myself who has played this game for over a decade filled with hope that there are people who aren't toxic as all hell who play this game.
32:02 - I dunno why, but that little jumpscare made me laugh for a solid minute.
Just here to drop a comment for the algorithm so more people see this - love the videos
dude this series is fantastic, veritistrasz hit alot of us super hard, and you getting out of that hole by wall jumping made me so proud lmaoo, I remember all those firsts when I started playing and it feels great watching you achieve them in real time, keep it up man this is some of the best watches I've had in a minutee,
also Watch the cinematics and do some reacts, always does good numbers and we're invested in your wow experience at this point to make it even more worth a watch, cheers m8!
EASILY my fav series on TH-cam right now. Thanks for sharing your adventures, I forget how awesome this game is most days 🥰
32 minutes. "what is that, its freaking me out" - not really know what it is, but thats why the insectoids are freaked out too. and no it is not the mists of pandaria.
1h16m: no that was not the deepest point of vash'jir. you can swim into that maelstrom/whirlpool down there too, and end in a big big cave under it. It holds the Entrancde to the Dungeon "Throne of the Tides".
I love this series! It's so heartwarming to see you get so excited for things that used to excite us longtime players but that we're just taken for granted nowadays =D
Damn I'm a bit late on that one today.
Perfect timing to watch the video in bed later though.
Keep it up mate your videos make my day!💙
Another video soo soon after the last?! Awesome! Will be watching all the way through 😎
Absolutely love this WoW series! Made me nostalgic for my old gaming days. Hope it continues! I'll be waiting to watch 😊
I've played World of Warcraft since I was 11 years old which is 17 years ago and this video really captures what it was like for me when I first started playing the game. I think over the years we as players forget the magic and turn the game into a bit of a check list. It's really nice to see a new players perspective again as I think many of us old school players have forgetting to just enjoy the game.
Butch if you watch the cinematic of WoW: Mists of Pandaria - Siege of Orgrimmar Trailer you hear Garrosh Hellscream say Orgrimmar.
at 3 minutes and 5 seconds (the spires of orgrimmar)
"This world is old & big"
"Like ur mum"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This made me spat my water.
Imagine you're helping this new guy on his absurde task and he says this. Fuckin briliant.
I really enjoy watching you play WoW, experiencing everything for the first time. I've always been playing solo cause I want to enjoy the world at my pace but after years of playing I got a little ambitious when it gets to collecting mounts, pets and achievements so I sometimes don't take enough time to just smell the roses. Thank you for reminding me.
I'd suggest you check out the achievements. There are thousands of achievements for literally everything from discovering the world to searching for secret items or just fun stuff. This game just never ends.
Some achievements also reward you with mounts, pets, toys or titles. 😉
honestly your content is so enjoyable to watch! id literally watch you play through the whole campaign of each zone! you deserve WAY more than 55k subs!
I saw you'd uploaded a new video and, without realising, gave a little 'yessss!' out loud.
I'm 41, this never happens. Keep doing your thing, bro ✌️
In tirisfall glades, in the mountain forest west of deathknell is a fairy ring. A circle of magical mushrooms. Every 15 or so minutes the creatures of the forest gather to listen to the faerie dragons sing and perform some kind of ritual.
Vaishjir dungeon is in vortex and it's deeper than when you were if you enter vortex it takes you next to dungeon entrance(deeper) but not inside dungeon. If you'll be able to fight fear of depths I recommend checking it and deepholm out even tho they are from oldest part of game (wow cataclysm) like your vids, keep it up.
Around the time Warlords was out, I was part of a guild created by a certain youtuber, not for video content but just for help and fun. It was a great way to make friends to do things in the game with, since everyone had similar interests and investment into the game. I feel like you would attract a lot of people who genuinely love WoW in all it's not-always-perfect glory, who would be helpful and fun. I know I would love to show off some of my favourite haunts from 20+ yrs of game play, or escorting you through old raids just for the sake of showing you neat little details or lore. Hardly anyone who played so long ago still have an active interest in the game, it's difficult to find new friends since people really seem to keep to themselves these days. I think it would be pretty neat to join a guild if you create one.
Been loving these videos! Reminds me of playing the game for the first time all the way back twenty years ago in a very very fun way.
If you ever need anything in game I believe we play on the same server. Always happy to help folks new to the game!
This series has made me take my time going through old zones I never properly visited. It's really nice to remember how it all looks through fresh eyes.
I have watched your two previous videos about WoW, LOVED them! Soooo exited you made a new one, because your storytelling is so comfortable to listen to, and your journeys bring back so many fond memories
These are a lot of fun! I've played forever & you remind me of how cool it was at the beginning. I still love it! And, Vash'jir is a huge pain in the ass! I hour you keep playing and enjoying it. There's a lot to learn. Wait til you get to dungeons & raids!
My new fav youtuber just uploaded lets go.
Im so glad you did the dwarf on the ledge quest! - it’s a quest that actually takes the time to make wow feel like wow!
This is so refreshing 🤩 I hope you keep posting updates on your progress! Its so fun👹 Ive been playing on and off since LichKing, loving the game- great zone out from daily life stuff, and when i cant play- this is great to watch😃 good luck with the venturing! I hope you keep meeting the good og helpful ppl 👍
My friend, i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend checking your map if you feel lost, when you press M you can see "Chapters" which are the main storyline, also the main storyline has a different icon! It looks like a shield behind the exclamation point! Best of luck on your journey my friend, also, watch some cinematics!!!
