Asmongold Reacts to "Then vs Now - Classic WoW War Effort" | Gorak's Guide Machinima

[@goraksguide]

Happy New Years Asmon (and anyone watching)! Thanks so much for the exposure, and for shining a light on dwarven marital issues. Much Orc love!

[@moualo4982]

[@MegaAwesomeMan]

All your videos are gold my dude keep it up!🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@carolinehaf21]

Mate I always love these... Gorak at 3am cures my insomnia and gives me the giggles!

[@danielgilliland8891]

Gorak's videos have gotten MUCH better they are so good now!

[@westsidermetalhead4997]

ZUG ZUG!

Showing us Horde embodying the true Zug Zug life.

Zug Zug

[@kronniichiwa9909]

Gnomes are superior

[@Carpatouille]

Strats and preparing are temporary, Zug Zug is eternal

[@mirkoruhl9324]

This is way too fluid to be made on machinima

[@edlaralara]

Yeah, whats up the physics, they so clean tho

[@perseverance6994]

7:54 the copper bars turning into the dagger was so clean

[@goraksguide]

Thanks for the compliment ! I pretty much just call it 'Machinima', because people kind of know the word :) Most everything is hand-animated in Maya (except some of the physics!)

[@BlackRose3610]

Oh wow I remember this from vanilla, on my level 26 lock, not understanding what was happening but donating my linen cloth anyway because the horde needed it

[@ukcomicjunkie7433]

Just goes to show deep down Asmon is Horde at heart, it’s in his DNA.

[@Dan-pp3qd]

No m9

[@FreedomAndPeaceOnly]

One of the reasons why I often need one & half a year to return to WoW for like 6 months is also because I cannot get Scarablord. WoW Classic was the best time of my gamerlife. And back then I didnt even knew or noticed there is such a thing as the black battle tank. Depression pure if you find out about it.

[@vaspix008]

His first char was undead mage btw, then he rerolled alliance bc his friend wanted to play paladin

[@kronniichiwa9909]

He isn't, he hates it with passion. As everyone should.

[@seanwarren9357]

@@kronniichiwa9909 that's just the memes talking, he's hordecore, like it or not, and this vid is just one source that confirms it.

[@suncommander7102]

I love Gorak's Guide, he's hilarious

In 2006 Wow gold was rare but real world 🌎 money was plentiful.....I'd happily go back to that old scenario

[@dannydan352]

3:16 " you think Im gonna spend my own money?" Oh the irony when people just hand you the money to begin with :P

[@Nek-oski]

Well yeah but those were Vanilla times when he didnt stream so back then he only had his money and whatever he got from scamming people xD

[@joshuabrant3487]

once its been handed to him its his money

[@Presooo]

3:29 he missed the reference of sylvanas breaking the helm...

[@exanimato6586]

To be honest, who cares about sylvanas.

[@spearhead2054]

On our server twas the opposite: Horde was finished and Alliance then got carried by the top Horde guild despite having higher pop.

[@caboose.20]

On Herod US we used the Neutral AHs to help the Alliance get their side finished.

[@vincenthamel3420]

his version of 2006 don't really match my memories ; a week after the patch nobody could be arsed to bother with the war effort and blizz had to implement an auto-completion.

[@franzji]

He finally watched a Moronic Minds video lol

[@Toadiferous]

Didn't even make it into the title

[@Dan-pp3qd]

Good comments

[@Masterwar15]

I'm almost 100% sure he reacted to the Stranglethorn Experience but I can't find it.

[@jayTfr]

He NEEDS to do the warrior vs warrior classic duel!!?

[@zeronarraig1308]

He reacted to more

[@Dulgus]

Dood goorak achived new Level of content

[@goraksguide]

Thank you :)

[@Solidus_25]

These Machinima's are getting clean and very well done with their editing and animations.. I'd be down for a serious lore vid about anything. Someone's upbringing or some such. But this is amazing..I member back in the day when machinimas had the stock wow engine animations for everything and that was it. This is beautiful

[@bc9554]

That AQ 2020 mining story was more emotionally gripping than Shadowlands plot

[@zalkor2000]

Well back in the day getting a blue ment something, Hell getting my first epic felt insane, Nowadays you get blue's and epic left right and centre so now we just expect it you know.

[@anthonymentalewicz5143]

Idk why it was just the horde but nothing makes me happier than holding the aq gates for no reason, on my server we weren't even going for scarab lord, a lot of people just wanted an excuse to take a break from the game or even better, start leveling an alt.

[@DreamApostle128]

the end part was so funny😂😂 Loved the goraks video as well

[@helldrake77777]

Asmon finally reacted to Moronicminds. Hopefully he does more of it.

[@Masterwar15]

He should react to the entire thing of Every Classic World of Warcraft Class in a nutshell

[@TheJakobRose]

It was the other way around on Mankrik. The biggest horde guilds made alts on alliance to get their war effort done for them.

[@FroFTW85]

2:10 true. I remember on my first character (priest), as i lvled up, i'd try to get the best blues for my lvl. I thought i was hot shit when i got the full T0.

[@ChinnuWoW]

I got so excited just from getting my first ring while questing in the Barrens...

[@Not_Soundwave]

I just wanna point at the crack in the glass between the dwarves. Like, that's such a small artistic/symbolic detail but I appreciate it so much.

[@ivanchapela]

3:35 naked gnome

[@goraksguide]

Nice catch! :D

[@keiths5021]

On Pagle US, an alliance guild prepared and tried having all the mats ready on both horde and alliance day 1. They miscalculated how much was needed so we needed to wait. Then bliz miscalculated how long the invasion should last for and we had to wait a few more hours for that to be done.

[@skate60331]

2:11 mundane or just more impactful lol

[@ZapatosVibes]

God damn that was a good one. GJ Gorak :D

[@TheManadeath]

Proud to take part of the 10 hour war effort to deny Grizzly their Scarab Lord after they did 98% of the war effort

[@nagito6628]

They transferred to a dead server and all got it anyway

[@starlight137yt]

The guild/bg leader is the best character ever created.

[@balancebreaker1561]

Its amazing how rewarding vanilla was, i dont think anyone will be able to replicate the accidentally genius it was vanilla gearing

[@RedRam_Menhtrol]

2:38 Is this is the story of how loot boxes began? 🤨🤔

[@sadge3009]

4:06 Sadge ...

[@MbBadd]

As someone who has went back and forth between factions this comparison is fairly accurate. Alliance players generally are your speed through to get to the end folk, where Horde players tend to be more we'll get there when we get there types. Neither is better than the other, but I have had much much more fun in Horde guilds than I have in Alliance ones.

[@Articgamer10]

Only thing missing is that "Guild Master" should have been "Streamer"

[@andrewpaul8732]

All streamers are guild masters but not all guild masters are streamers

[@GekoHayate]

[@Six_Corrupted]

Horde part accurate. We don’t give a shit

[@perseverance6994]

Yeah specially the killing the snake part

[@zankom417]

It was the complete opposite on my server

[@Masterwar15]

Based Horde.

[@mohammedhussein5083]

Idk still love playing horde, I played alliance on a mostly alliance server and it was kinda of miserable no one is friendly like in the horde

[@kronniichiwa9909]

Lazy and stupid

[@TyyTheFlyGuy]

I agree on that blue gear comment in vanilla. I remember having that blue blanket cape on my warrior (I played day 1 vanilla) in whatever zone I was in at the time I was looked at like a god.

[@andresdeleon9697]

He got me at "Neckbeardism"

[@tanyapowell707]

I still have a quest from the opening, I dont want to get rid of it now

[@hampusgotlind2357]

On Flamelash (EU) Alliance players leveld up horde characters to comple it :D

[@motoxing199]

I feel attacked with the ret paladin video 😂😂

the dwarf that got hit by the tank died and thats why we didnt see him again

Mcconnel at the end hahaha

[@jari2018]

and the use of present paper back then - Nobody uses paper now - it would result in a report I guess

[@CellionTF]

after the orc said zug zug, at the bottom in small caption it said "elf go brrrrr" and it got an audible chuckle out of me. I am ashamed

[@WadeWilson-]

Best video of classic wow is DANISH SUPER SNACKS

[@Deszigames]

This is pretty much what happened on Whitemane. My sole contribution was putting a bunch of firebloom on the AH at a slightly discounted rate. Also horde are definitely selfish af, just go to ZG island and see them sitting on top of the hut while people get ganked by alliance below

[@furrie728]

A funny thing-I never care about WoW and never will,yet am still watching Asmon and thanks to him I found out bunch of funny WoW video makers.

[@karupeju]

Wonder if he's gonna buy war bonds

[@emmanuellopez1130]

0 to 1000 in like less than a sec Jesus that got dark

7:54 LOOOOL! I donated quite a bit, and I still have shit loads of low lvl scrolls. ffs.

[@dinovoldo544]

Goraks animation is top tier.

[@name-wj7yz]

i contributed to the war effort by lvling herbalism and selling peacebloom for 3-4g per stack. good times.

what server does he play on

[@taboy2723]

Happy new ear My dood

[@valerune192]

My mom still gets happy for green and blue stuff lmao

[@Slenderman182]

in our defense, the Horde were outnumbered 3 to 1 on most servers

It’s a known fact that alliance are bad people playing at being good whilst horde are good people playing at being the bad guys.

What IS the war effort?

[@jonpigeon7629]

Where did he go?

[@SubTonic]

No matter where anybody stands on the whole WoW vs FFXIV debate, you can't deny WoW has the better memes and fanmade parodies. This shit is comedy gold.

[@mistwrath5957]

Asmongold has made so many random small wow youtubers popular.

[@MaliciousCat]

It's true. We Horde dont give a shit about anything. Some times I'm ashamed of my own faction. -_- Vulpera for life though!

[@ITSONSIGHT.]

can anyone understand what hes saying at 1:47? before he says "hes an annoying attention seeker"

[@kekw6029]

probably reading what some guy told him in game probs like "haha you are gay notice me bitch"

[@redeyes3847]

It was someone in the game, I guess he was tapping back and forth

Someone stealing this from yah lol.

[@DR-ts4eh]

I remember on my Server on Day 3 or 4 something, Alliances pissing on us with their lv 1 alts on chat why we didn't finish the War Effort yet, how they took vacation and blablabla hahaha

@@davidmarriott6321 I’ve been playin since 2006......one epic drop is really depressing lmao

[@wildcat31772]

lul accurate. in classic us on horde didn't give a shit about hte AQ opening. We were more focused on PVP and other shit. The alliance had to make alts to turn in shit for our side.

[@jari2018]

orginally i think i remember you could wear dirty trogg wear from Dun Morogh - I remember this to this day - I gues sit didnt go well with "future " of wow by the devs - to have those in Ah... so politicially correct by blizzard
