"Craft epic stories"
Random peasant : *"Could you bring me 10 pieces of boar meat for my stew? I'll give you worn pants."*
Believe it or not the community is so stupid that in legion that’s all they complained about . ‘’WE MISS THE SIMPLER DAYS WHEN WE WERENT SOME ‘’HERO’’ AND HAD MORE SIMPLE ROLES WITH MORE IMPORTANT CHARACTERS THAT WE HELPED “ and killing boars specifically was used by asmongold as an example what he nostalgically liked/preferred to the current situation. Ironically now people laugh at that since we got classic. I just hate this stupid community that cries about everything left and right.
@@tekamer6566 You mean its almost as if when you have a huge number of people, some of them might like or dislike different aspects of something for different reasons?
@@Enalius lmaoooo
Notice how smooth they went over WoD:
"Then Warlords of Draenor came out... Garrisons :)) We learnt a lot :)) Anyway, Legion..."
because WoD was a mistake.
Pixel Gaming honestly if not almost the entire content had not been scrapped the expansion would have been amazing and full of potential, it could have been better than even BfA. They missed the opportunity with WoD.
@@ninaloveray Woaw better than bfa, it would have been a sucess. Truly.
@@ninaloveray you know what, WOD is better than BFA. sure, WOD's biggest problem was lack of content, but all the systems in BFA legit did so much damage to the game. Plus, they shoehorned n'zoth in the expansion when he should have had his own
@@drake.2639 Correction. BFA was the mistake WOD was a good expansion for It's time.
I thought this was entire lore explained :(
lore of expansions
Gonna need much more than 50 mins for that...
Search up nobbel87 history of wow i
All of the lore in the entire game? That would take hours and hours.
Cliff O They couldve summarized
31:25 "The player is the star of the story, but the co-star is the world". Metzen said recently that in Vanilla, the world was the star of the story. A difference that has had a huge impact on the design philosophy
Yeah I miss being an insignificant grunt in an awe inspiring world. I mean the world is still awe inspiring, but you know what I mean.
sadly you don't see anyone anymore in the world. Everybody stays in major city and do dungeonfinder
"World of Warcraft is a game designed to play with your friends." Jokes on you, I don't have any friends.
try harder mate
Why some one with a clever sense of humor like you has no friends? (sarcasm)
Sad thing is this was how how WoW was originally design. It is no longer the game he describes - which is why many people are looking forward to Classic WoW release.
Except you dont
Omar Castañeda Mendez
the fact that you added the "(sarcasm)" ruined the joke. Have more confidence in yourself!
1:40 "the greatest threats of Azeroth" *shows gnome killing a pig*
I looked at this in my recommended and figured I'd watch about five minutes for nostalgia's sake. Here I am 50 minutes later, with no regrets.
Talking about Arthas:
"Probably the greatest most notorious villain ever introduced in Warcraft"
Thats all i have to say.
31:01 - "Illidan..." That isn't Illidan, lol
31:02 - "Kil'jaeden" That is Jaraxxus!
Xyanyde that was embarrassing.....
Cringe
i mean, thats on wired, they edited the piece. not the wow devs.
That's what I was thinking too!!! Literally came to the comments to see if anyone else said anything! Lol.
thought I'd just leave this here: th-cam.com/video/MkeC9WVVsQ4/w-d-xo.html
We didn’t know we needed this information until it was given to us...
He didn’t mention priests when he was talking about the original classes

I have no grasp on what are you talking about

@@peterpetrarca4691 the voice crack
That's a lot of history for a game
LotR is a lot of history for a book, GoT is a lot of history for a show.
Fantasy typically gets a lot of lore
This is not even the top of the iceberg.. Iv'e been playing for 14 years and don't know everything yet. There is a industry around the game with books and comics and every imaginable thing.
well, they've been adding to this history since 1994 when the RTS first came out. That's a lot of storytelling.
This is just a slim description of the basic game. Not even close to the whole history lol.
They barely went over the 1000's of hours of lore
I thought they meant the lore of the game. Whoops!
aknopf me too
Lookup Nobbel's complete warcraft lore video
same lol
same is it not ill stop now lol
Terowin is it this one th-cam.com/video/bQ__nRnO2mE/w-d-xo.html ?
I started playing this game in 2008. I've taken breaks for months or even years at a time at some points (adulting) but i always find myself coming back to it. Sometimes i'll start playing again just to level a character and take myself back to 2008 to feel like a kid again.
My dad played this when I was younger, and sometimes he would let me play the easy missions. I would join in for his guilds karaoke night too. The memories this game has for me oof
so are you playing wow classic yet to relive those "missions"? (quests :P)
I hope this game will stick around forever! I will be playing this game for many decades to come! No matter what i do or try i always find myself coming back to WoW! There is no other game like it!
Same here. Proud WoW player since 2006. I'll still support and play it as long as they make more updates and expansions
still playing?
I started again
"The Demon Lord Kil'Jaeden" *Shows Jarraxus*
And "The Illidan" - shows Kael'thas.
"In classic WoW, questing pretty much ended at level 60" *more like 56-58 :D*
Well, because he IS JARAXXUS, EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION.
Where is Mr.T and his night elf mohawk??
uake The good times, late TBC?! Oh God!
wow i remember that ad being on tv
i totally forgot that was a thing... now i feel old..
@@kasper8509 Wrath of the Lich King was when that commercial aired and when the NPC was added.
Truly the most amazing journey of my life so far. Nothing can compare.
bait?
I love hearing Ion talk about World of Warcraft, however he still can't sell me on Warlords of Draenor.
imo, you might not agree with his points, but when he explains why they did what, you can clearly see his point of view. He still clears mythic raids so he still knows the ins and outs of the game itself. EDIT: Was talking about everything they did in legion haha they've already admitted in past interviews they just gave up on wod
If you dint played wod better you dint cause whole expansion was a mess "6.2 major feature selfie cam"
I understand why they did what they did in Warlords of Draenor. There's just so much that I knew I wouldn't like even before the expansion hit. He can't sell it to me now, not during the expansion or before the expansion.
there is a full list of features what wod suppose to have which is sad :(
I was wondering if Ion still played with his guild these days.
"World of Warcraft is about playing a game with your friends.". Only if they have their AoTC and a 940+ilvl
Mr if they ask you for specific milestones, then they are not your friends.
Im putting an emphasis on how Pugging has taken over small servers or friendly groups. Milestones are all the game is about anymore.
find a nice guild
nah, its just you that sucks
J.o.e Official people have been calling the game trash since BC.
What's the problem with Christie Golden?
She's the most popular wow author hands down.
I really loved the leveling up aspect, i hate how these days the thrill of leveling up has gone, it happens too fast
I just started playing again since wotlk i did a trial and my character made it to level 16 in a single day. Now I’m playing classic TBC and it’s crazy to see how different the leveling curve is.
Haha yeah I see why some people feel that way. I would say most people just crave getting to max level where I personally believe the real game starts. When you reach max level there is a lot of grind, and reducing the time it takes to reach max level might reduce fatigue where you feel like if leveling took too long then it would be disheartening to start grinding just like you did when you were leveling. I hope that made some sense
@@andersratama2574 I think all the add-ons people use killed the game, unless u keep up with them all, ypu are at a disadvantage
I also loved the asset of leveling, now you don't see anybody in the world, its dead. Everybody stays in city and use dungeonfinder
I miss the days of mountain climbing into Hyjal, getting yelled at by a mod, and getting soft banned for 5 days
haha I climbed into Hyjal before cata launch too, was so cool.
That’s BS you can be banned for doing something creative that’s within your power to do in the game.
I've sacrificed everything to play World of Warcraft. What have you given?
Procs lmao!
Lol
lord illidan knows the way
*lifts up hood*... Everything..
my car my house my job my wife ....
im kinda sad that i missed the beginning of WoW it seems that its almost impossible to put into words the magic that vanilla and the early years captured.
Honestly you did not miss as much as many try to claim, vanilla wow was seen as amazing during its time due to this vast world of mystery that you were free to explore. The majority of classic was trash and so were the players, many did not even do any end game content with pvp being the biggest thing at the time. Majority of players that want vanilla want it back for the player interaction that once existed (not that its gone but just shifted the areas it's in).
totally incorrect. You did miss a LOT. This game was launched in 2004 back then there was simply no game like it. There were other MMOs but nothing could touch the raw player count and open world that no one knew. It would not be the same to play it again now that tech is so much better and class balance was very bad in the old days but if you played it back then, it was incredible. Vanilla isnt the best game ever and it was fully of issues, but for its time it was a marvel of technology that literally shook the world and our culture. I would avoid down playing how amazing it was to log in back in 04-05 and play with friends and your family guilds in a huge world no other game could give you.
You’re correct... Vanilla WoW... was insane. And magical is the only word I can think of. I was so in love with it and exploring as much as i could. Entering new zones for the first time, hearing the music, and the world, it was amazing. People knew other people even across factions, you would develop nemeses and rivalries. 40 people having to meet at a flight point and traveling together to black rock mountain, and the guild fights the would occur.... amazing. Downing onyxia or Ragnaros for the first time.. so good.
Meeesj Classic WOW was an epic experience. Something I doubt any other game will do or at least a very long time until something like it comes again
It was basically like a constant high when I played classic. I still remember the long walk in the snow to the gates of Ironforge, walking in and feeling like I was in a real living, breathing world. The music was perfect in all zones, everything just felt magical. I had never experienced any game like it before and probably won't ever again because I'm in my 30's now and don't game anymore. I still log on WoW every now and then but not much.
Almost teared upduring this. Literally grew up with WoW and still play it during the summers/autumn around expansion releases. I truly hope this universe does not die.
For me, personally, Wrath of the Lich King was the height of my experience and love for WoW. I loved it, because as a punk kid who played Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness when I was 12 years old, and been playing Warcraft games since, it felt like it brought a closing to part of my experience after killing Arthas, one of my favorite hero's in the Warcraft universe. Plus, it brought us to Northrend, and fought against so many cool undead enemies, and the DK was so much fun on release.
However, after watching this, and hearing some of the details that go into each expansion, I have a newfound respect for each expansion, whether I liked them or not, for the effort Blizz put into each one.
For this long time Warcraft player, since 1995, I'm pretty excited for Battle for Azeroth, the first expansion I've been excited for in a few years. The intro cinematic did its job on hyping me up, especially with the last shot of the Orc and Footman squaring up, with very similar poses to Warcraft 3 I believe.
Anyways, i have way too much nostalgia and memories to list since Vanilla, and it was pretty cool to see and hear the way WoW evolved chronologically.
How was BfA experience? Was it as exciting as your initial trailer reaction?
9:06 what an interesting mount collection for someone who only has 18 😮
Really weird
You can pay to "achieve" anything now
Thank you, developers! Your game was the platform for some of the most exciting, engaging, and meaningful experiences I've ever had in a game.
It's a shame it's all gone hill and turned into a queue simulator.
queue queue queue queueu queue look I'm wearing best armor in the game now
Chris Kohler LFR and LFD don’t give you the best gear at all.
At best it’s okay for low M+ keys.
Abdelkarim Ouzzine m+ keys? What's that
I love these documentary vids on Warcraft. Love hearing classic stories, brings back fond memories.
It would be soooo great if other developers would be so precise, professional and creative like you!!! You guys are incredible! The bests!
bfa is about to be released and youtube still has the wod picture for wow
lol i had to scroll up and look but jesus you're right..
I think someone at TH-cam is trying to tell us something.
50:00 blured classic wow log-in screen, nice easter egg blizzard
The real reason for Cataclysm expansion is Blizzard couldn't stand The Barrens chat anymore so they had to destroy it but didn't want to make it too obvious so they messed up other zones too. #FunFact
What?
Lol
i agree with this theroy no not theory fact lol

@@FreebirthBoccara The same thing happened to Warhammer AoR. The out-of-combat exponential regen system was one of several features that magically entered WoW a few weeks after that game launched with it.
I just love how they have literally 0 footage of their previous expansions.
17:50
"We have tanks" -> shows Retri paladin
Itherius haha true XD
What’s the difference (IM A RET PALI)
Kyler Tilleli if you don’t know the difference, why are you playing this game?
Im saying a retribution paladin is the same power as a tank maybe read it twice before you say something
Kyler Tilleli huh?? I’m really honestly confused now at what you’re trying to say. How is a ret pally the same power as a tank? Are you speaking about dps? Talents? Spells and abilities? You really have no idea what you’re doing with that game do you.
41:31 that "in our minds" sounds like it was added in post lol
Great job putting this together - thanks Blizz!
It's a crime to tell the history of World of Warcraft without Chris Metzen telling the story..
Well he retired, what are they supposed to do.
Invite him
ask him to? after they get to a certain point that he can no longer provide history you swap over to a more recent developer. seems like a pretty simple answer
I think he retired to stop telling such stories
Im still amazed that egghead Hazzikostas wasnt fired after the WOD debacle. Lmao they must want WOW to die.
Not everything is perfect in WoW, but they are always learning and trying to make a even better game. I love World of Warcraft and I want to say thank you to the blizzard team that makes it possible and I hope that this game continue to expand for years to come.
Well said Mari. I agree with you
Yea... but BFA's gonna be perfect
This aged well ;)
@@KongQuest95 hahahahahahahahahahaha
i remember playing WoW back in 2005 as a 15 year old with a 10 day trial and expecting to hate it. I was totally wrong i fell in love within 3 days of playing the game. i stopped in 2011 after Cata but came back for BFA. very few people know the feeling of clearing naxx on vanilla or being in the ventrilo when your guild downed illidan for the first time.
player52 I stopped after cata as well, and just got back three weeks ago for bfa. Never thought I'd be playing wow again. I'm actually really enjoying it. They streamlined a lot, which personally I'm thankful for bec I don't have the hours to sink in like I used to.
That makes three of us, absent since april 2011.. i thought i was out.. but they pulled me back in!
I quit the game on the last day of Cataclysm. I started the game back in 2.1 in burning crusade in 2008. Got serious about the game in Wrath of the Lich King as a hardcore raider. Was with in the top 10 warrior tanks on my server and within the top 30 warrior DPS on the same server during the end of wrath. Then I completely burned out in Cata. Pushed 2 toons to 85 in less than a week or 2. My warrior main made it to 85 in less than 3 days after launch. Came back to see the end of Cata and do some raiding.
Fun game and great time with the folks I played it with. Most those folks don't play it anymore. For me the game turned into a loot grind that felt more like an unpaid job than a game at the end of the day.
45:26 "Oh my goodness, soo awesome" xD
15:49 called winterᵍʳᵃˢᵖ
All those years and i am still in love with this game
Shjami Hey Shjami :D geht mir genauso!

You must be really dumb then.
This game has kept me so busy during the lock down been playing since 2006 get this game if you want to escape all the bad news
EXACTLY what i did when i saw my empty covid 19 city
And blizz is like oh btw here's a free 110 and 100% exp boost
Played vanilla since i was 6-7 years old.Still playing vanilla today.
"The Demon Lord Kil'jaeden"
*shows Jaraxxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion*
:thinking:
TRIFLING GNOME!
"You arrogance will be your undoing"
Goes to show you that Jaraxxus was actually the mastermind behind the Burning Legion. Getting rid of his minion, Sargeras, was but a small step. Supreme Overlord Jaraxxus is simply waiting for the right moment to strike.

3:20 did Ian forget that priests existed in Vanilla?
would explain why priests have been consistently imbalanced butt raped since cata
I don't know how these videos got started, but I can't stop watching them.
Man, its like time traveling through your own gaming life all over again. Loved this!
MadSeasonShow did it first! :D
True :D
He must be glad about releasing it when he did.
Amen! Love you madseason
Fullmetal Horus he cant hold a candle to first hand experiences of the devs. I’m subbed to mad season but still
except the devs think lfg was a good addition and the players didnt
50 min video with no adds deserves a like 👍🏼

I actually recently started playing WoW and I'm addicted just because it has so much to offer and has a rich history. Big thumbs up!
Sta ces kad si pleb :p
Yuck. Doesn't it disgust you how much content this game offers when you are a complete noob? You will literally never be caught up. Blizzard is going to consume your soul and your money for years to come.
I started playing wow when I was 12 and now I'm 24 and this game has held such a special place in my heart for the past 12 years
It is the best game ever created, unfortunately I grew tired of it in like 2013.
Blizzard did such a good job with contentupdates in legion and I hope it continues in the same pace!
41:40 "theres a reason why swords like excalibur forge such might legends" Yeah because there's only 1 of them.
Complewtely sums up how badly the Blizzard misjudged Artifact weapons. Like yeah, they were cool and all but make them NEW wweapons, don;t just give every Paladin an Ashbringer, every Mage an Atiesh and every Death Knight a Frostmourne. Completely destroyed the mystique of the weapons once everybody has one.
@@Noobie2k7
Exactly.
Nothing is unique anymore.
This was very well spoken I must admit, nice to view a historical summary
I still remember the first time I arrived in owling fjord...it had never felt like that before...I felt love for a game...
Still the best game ever created.
Ah, no. Not at all.
Maybe the best story, but no.
It's not the best story either. It's a good game tho.
you never played fight night champion
Gonar no fortnite is
Never played or knew much about Wow, but this video was very insightful and depicts a really interesting world. The history is quite rich and makes me keen to play.
Frankly, at this point u might just be too late to the party... or maybe I'm too biased with nostalgia.
you're too biased with nostalgia
You're too biased with nostalgia
Crypticsz The game is great right now. Especially for someone who hasn't played the game before with the new leveling system in 7.3.5. I highly recommend people to try the starter edition if they haven't played WoW before.
The theme in the end gave me goosebumbs..

I never in my life heard someone say that "Mist of Pandaria" was there favorite expansion in the WoW Series....
I loved it, might have been my favorite. Just bought a new pc that I should get in 4 days so I can check out BFA
Mist of Pandaria is my favorite, i was able to quit thanks to it LOL.
Mists of pandaria is My second favourite right after wrath of The lich king ;). Im not counting burning crusade, because i never played it when it was live. But My current view at burning crusade is very meh. Leveling in outland feels really really boring. Raids are okayish, but nothing stunning
@@juliakristinaff7359 The burning crusade was the greatest. The vibe and the feel was amazing. Blood elf's and dark demons. I loved it
@@JohnSmith-yf4un same
So many internet warriors bashing on this game. There were many changes yes but you gotta adapt to survive which is what WoW is doing. I for one have enjoyed every expansion in different ways, some more than others.
Justin Torres settling for watered down classes and mechanics is not surviving.
@Justin Torres Being an edgelord is so trendy, you'll always find people like this.
Only thing that could kill WoW was WoW itself. It's been downhill since the end of WotLK. This is what the general part of WoW players think. I felt amazing going back to Classic WoW on Nostalrius' private server. So we can only see if Blizzard manages to resurrect WoW with future Classic servers. I'd be happy to come back then.
I still enjoy it but agree that classes have been watered down. Those that claim it died years ago confuse me though. Either A. they are still subbed or B. did all of BFA in a week and then QQ'd about being bored and unsubbed until the next expansion launches. In the end for me, no MMO is perfect. I like ESO, but its not WoW. I like GW2, but its not ESO, and its not WoW. In the end, WoW still pulls me back in like no other MMO does. Last of all, $15/month is not a reason to hate the game or to label it as evil or greedy. Sure, free is always the best price! Yet I would bet a lot more than $15 that those complaining about a subscription spend more than $15/week on fast food and energy drinks. This isn't judging. I love my carbonated beverages and drive-thru burgers just as much as the next guy or girl. Yet I realize that just as that food isn't free, neither is using someone's server on a daily basis.
Nope. Thew expansions suck and have turned the game into a lame game with a bunch of mini-games and its built around convenience and participation trophies. Wow Classic is where its at!
huh, forgot to mention the biggest change to Class Building in MoP - the *Talent System* overhaul....i prefer the old school skill tree and dont like the new loadout system (feels less RPG and more battle royal) but that was 1 of the biggest changes IMHO
I agree wholeheartedly about Mists. Those of us that played it, loved it. The raids were great, the lore wasn't forced.
Lacey Long yeah, the kung fu panda lore wasn't forced.
Ok.
Joshua Macal Just cus you didnt play WC3 it was forced?
Ok
To be fair the game shouldn't require you to play WC3 to avoid it being forced
I played it and hated it. I was so bored of that leveling and those dungeons that i stopped when i got to 90 and just made alts to play in the old world.
Mists was boring. So was Cata and WoD. I played all those expansions each for a month. Gearing up was made way too easy in those. And end-game raids were done in two weeks after the release.
I didn't truly enjoy any of them. Classic, BC and WotLK were all nice and enjoyable for me. I could play them everyday for 3-4 hours and keep on playing for months and still they were fun.
Been playing since 2006 and haven't had a bad experience yet. Love it.
warlords of dreanor? apexis crystals?
NonsensicalVids that was annoying. Still played it though
Eladio Flores I started playing in 2004, I've had hundreds of bad experiences and then I quit. I think you might have rose colored glasses on if you believe you have NEVER had a bad experience.
John Galt depends on what you would consider a bad experience. I've never not had fun playing the game.
I think you mean that you haven't had a bad experience that wasn't outweighed by positive experience(s) in the end :P there's plenty of bad in WoW. There's just so much more good.
I was playing this game ,when the highest level was 60. Blizzard has touched my heart and soul with this game for many years ,and I hope many more.Thank you for such a amazing game, Think my next build in Planet Coaster will be For the Horde!
So much love for this game. It's been a huge part of my life since vanilla. Much love for Blizz
IMO the best game ever made
14 years later and still the best MMO out there.

most successful. MMORPGS are dead as a genre

Nice one! Thanks!
Been playing this since vanilla andit's nice to have a quick lookback.
I'm disappointed they used new WoW footage when discussing Vanilla.
cuz the gameplay in vanilla was inferior in comparison to modern version of the game, and the footage of vanilla gameplay is not very appealing for potential players/subs

Blizzard employees playing private servers in the coffee breaks 😂
Bulsar official 😂😂 i wouldnt be suprised if atleast one of thier employees has at one point.
I'd be willing to say they have a team dedicated to playing the private servers to gather details about what that community wants. And to take notes on launch. Lol for example. Dynamic spawning. Or phazing. Or how to get so many players able toquest at once without standing around waiting for mob respawns.
Bryan Roberts It's called sharding
I like (/s) that they neglected to talk about the design choices in WoD and focused on the art and lore. I know they mentioned the garrisons, but they just explained what they do. I would like to hear their thoughts on how the expansion went and what lessons they learned.
I regret missing Pandaria. When I went back to see what was in it, it was fun, unique, and gorgeous to look at.
just skip 35:16 - 40:20 if you have PTSD.
To late.
I actually like wod gameplay wise, not the story behind it though, the story actually gave me nightmares, time travel story lines should be banned.
That's not MoP
Thank you for time! I wanted to hear him what he will tell about "Best expansion"

God i will never ever forget the feeling i had when i first saw the intro of classic wow! back than a friend told me to buy it and i never played rpg before i knw warcraft but i had no idea what i bought and man... never since than i had this feeling again... i miss it!
after wrath of litch king my epic quest came to an end... I was done... I loved this game but after Litch King the magic was gone...
Same here
The only magic is the wonder why you can't spell the name of something you supposedly loved so much. the game is still good, you're just stuck in the past. :)
Boomer
@@Ramsteinrig It's interesting you should say that during the time when the current expansion is seen as the worst one Blizzard has made so far. According to both casual and high-end raiders, even WoD is considered to be better than BFA.
Dr Dankenstein you are completely wrong but ok boomer.
Apparently there were no priests.
He did say there were 9 classes, mentioned 8. Looks like priests are just not worth mentioning :D
Maybe in 8.1 we will get priests. FeelsBadMan The balance and play style for Shadow priests going into the Battle beta is a travesty. It is very not fun playing shadow with the changes they made for the new expansion.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
BC and WotLK days of progression raiding, were my favorite by far.
*You are not prepared*
I started in Wrath of the lich king, one of the best expansion ever. When Wintergrasp was a thing!!!!
Chan978 it wouldn’t be the best if you didn’t miss BC
7:45 so true
I like how they try and put positive spin on some of the biggest blunders they've made.
i still have 0 friends in the game and I started in 2006 :(
If that truly is the case then u gotta be the most unsocial person to yet walk this planet.
:) are you sure ?
Lmao what a loser
well, maybe it is time to get outside and sniff the fresh air
Damian Curie ikr I came back for legion and no one talked in dungeons! It felt depressing. I couldn't even find a guild to join, I asked around dalaran for 30 mins and no one replied
Allows the players to exploreTheir fantasy... their DEEP♂DARK♂FANTASY
Right version
Ladies and gentlemen, Moonguard. Than again, if you are a lady or a gentleman you will avoid goldshire.

Mhmmm, That turns me on
27:08 If you can picture Lorewalker Cho saying "Let's get dangerous", you've just met Jim Cummings. He's, like, 5% of the voice acting you hear in every cartoon for the last 30 years.
I'm a day one player =) I was 8 at the time so I have the benefit of being young to keep playing for years more
Most memorable thing I learned: it took them 4 expansions to figure out how to do dynamic occlusion shadows. xD
wow!
i remember in 2007 my brother would let me play on his computer and i had no idea what i was doing, now that im older i can enjoy the game and to this day i love this game
TBC didn't "Introduce" 10man raiding, Scholomance was originally a 10man raid, and UBRS was originally a 15man raid.
I love Legion. Probably has been the best expansion I've played since Wrath, but I was also a Wrath baby so I might be biased.
This is also the first expansion I can recall thinking of fondly while it was/is still active, the first one that I'm actually cramming/rushing to get stuff done before the next expansion and the first one that I'm actually sad to see go.
Seems like they learned a lot about what not to do in WoD. Let's hope they remember all the good things that they pulled in Legion and keep it up. I'm excited for BFA!
I did enjoy WoD just for the lore aspect and the world. Sure the game play was clunky and slow at times, but it was still enjoyable. I LOVE Legion and I'm very sad to see it go. I'm in the BFA beta though, and I think you'll enjoy it almost as much as Legion. :)
Legion is the first expansion since BC in which i played a month and stopped. For me BFA already seems better at least at questing and environment.
Agree! Didnt like WoD but LOVE Legion. Partly because I like the horror elements. But also because what I hated in WoD was that I felt isolated, no major cities to go too and all alone in my garrison.
