The titles are improving

[@ruskyhusky69]

I wanna know the actual numbers on how effective these titles are. This one made me click, but it's probably because I'm a wow classic degenerate

Watching him judge players' deaths has reached a new level of content farming and here I am watching every video

You certainly have a name that fits you

[@CorgiiTube]

These are my absolute favorite. I love when Asmon sees the very first frame of the clip, predicts exactly what's going to happen, and then it does hahaha

[@nils191]

To be fair, it doesn't require that much knowledge of the game's mechanics and player disposition to figure some of these out. I saw that elevator, and I too knew what was going to happen thinking "Oh no... Oh no."

[@OLBarbok]

No joke, Asmon predicting it is pure comedy. You know it, I know it everybody knows it.

[@korey8134]

No way either that he watches the videos ahead of time to make it look like he’s bald genius

[@nils191]

@@korey8134 Find this to be doubtful. Firstly, he's watching a video on HC deaths, already here you can remove most potential outcomes from a video. Secondly, if you understand bugs or game mechanics, you can typically infer a range of possibilities. So, for instance, when he looked at the guy jumping around Duskwood on the road, most deaths occur by Stitches. Then he gets an invite; you understand layering exists, then you lay stitches + layering + death = dead by layering. If you've played WoW as much as Asmongold has, it doesn't take long to lay the figures together. Especially when it comes to gameplay.

[@spectreman2532]

@@korey8134 Of course he does that, ppl are so naive and he counts on that. Dude is a genius.

I can already hear Mcconnell’s hysterical laughter when Asmon eventually dies in Westfall on the new hardcore servers lol

[@missdeadite9696]

11:42 reminds me of the Amish challenge from years ago. I think it was sodapoppin who tabbed out and watched some one else die in a funny way and came back to see his character just ded on the road. That smile turn around in real time and was hilarious.

[@Ives1776]

Wish Strippins gang uploaded their full POV of that challenge. It’s been lost to time.

[@tylerm6080]

honestly glad he found hardcore death clips because watching this shit for over a year now and the deaths ppl have are just abysmal

[@Rhodair]

that Ozy death was so unfortunate for him to be right in Somnus' path like that - he was actually using Shadowmeld, but it just wasn't enough to remain undetected - even with stealth, being afk out in the world is still playing with fate

[@datacntrdude]

It's amazing how much of this is just "situational awareness"

[@511bugsy]

just found out about this guy like 4 months ago and ive seen countless hours of his videos since then. Always thought he was funny but what really sealed the deal was when i watched the video of him unbanning people on twitch lmao. "You wanna say all that and now you want me to unblock you?? SUCK A DICK??!!....no thats actually fine ill unblock you.. its not problem...." that video had me dying.

[@rosatopia5256]

God ive been loving these. When he starts a clip and pauses immediately with that look of "oh my god.." Its absolutely priceless

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

World of Warcraft indeed.

[@jameskim1505]

That 11:10 inception edit was _amazing_ I was laughing so hard.

These classic hardcore reaction videos you're putting out are the best content on the internet right now lol. I love it, man

[@faaldeyra]

"I'm a ghost wolf." "I'm not." The funniest one out of all of them.

[@Karl_Drogo55]

ok that one of the other guy watching Xaryu escape alt tabbed was the funniest one hands down

props to anyone who takes on hardcore classic. classic is already unbelievably slow paced and an unreal grind fest, add on hardcore, wild.

[@matthewwysong644]

11:23 I feel it's worth mentioning that this guy's character is "Ozymandios", and frankly, it's one letter off from being the most ironic name possible for this situation.

I'm in tears with the Xaryu and Ozy.... Jesus Christ....long time WoW player now retired. I think we can all relate to this...I used to watch videos while farming and this sometimes happened...but HC damn...so painful

[@michaelsuder486]

In tears? So you have an immature sense of humor for laughing at it and gullible for believing they aren't trying to intentionally die.

[@jasonfatdog6491]

Watching my warlock die on the elevator once again was sad. I love these reactions tho and the titles are great

"I'm a ghostwolf".."I am not"*splat*

[@carlosfred8673]

Hardcore WoW is such a simple idea but it is genius.

[@hubeltrujillo2525]

How it works

[@michaelcloss565]

Layering deaths should be appealable 100% with just some logic. The point is to emulate real life as in 1 life but getting swapped to an alternate universe with a parallel timeline except stitches is right next to you is a bit beyond that. Deaths should be granted an appeal as long as the person playing the character didn't do anything that would lead to their death. Falling off birds and layer swaps with elites mowing you down included.

[@Numberi]

Let's run into BRD talking on mic and using our abilities .5 a second late, cancel heal and keep our back turned to the melee mobs while we're rooted and keyboard turning. GG

[@Proverb.]

Bro made it 49 levels without using enemy nameplates and clicking fireblast 2:50 Classic players are truly another breed

[@holysecret2]

5:45 Mana Shield only absorbs physical damage in Classic, I think. I feel like for Classic hardcore you need to bring all protection potions, first aid 300, and engineering with target dummies with you at all times, lol. 7:25 The most insane example of vertical hits is in Dire Maul East. You know the demon wing where you walk down a spiral staircase to the lower level? Mobs can be down there, like 50 meters below you, and hit you when you are running on the top floor. I had them banished and feared and ran away, and they killed me from 50 meters below or like (effectively) 200 meters walking distance because of the buggy verticality. Guild Wars 1 has the same issue with verticality, by the way. I don't play Retail, so I don't know if it's different there, maybe it's a common flaw with older titles / engines.

[@Wesson11]

3:00 that mage made it to 51 without even knowing that you can Counterspell casters

[@simmimon]

The bug deaths is why I'm probably going to pass on HC Official. Its just not an ideal situation. I don't trust blizzard enough to fix these things considering a lot of those bugs still exist in retail.

[@TheSaiyanKing]

When you aggro multiple mobs in Gnomergan you should just leave group and run away, and hope to live lone enough to be teleported out of the instance.

[@PastaAivo]

18:43 To be fair, if that was fixed, the NPCs not getting the elevator could be fixed too.

[@Rhodair]

there's no excuse for that first priest to not at least have Inner Fire and a cheap Fortitude up

[@burdy-]

the dude naming the videos has given up but im all for it

[@stony2350]

This looks like a twisted sequel to the Shadowland where Asmon has become the judicator judging every soul 😂😂

[@metouw]

18:00 I haven't played wow lately but if it works now as it did in Vanilla this shaman could easily have survived. Back in vanilla when you used sentry totem? (the one where you can see from the totems PoV) the shaman itself would freeze wherever it was... also mid air. So shamans could quite easily jump into ungoro crater etc. The totem only had global CD and had low mana cost. Not so many people knew this back then tho.

[@RainingArtillery]

I play this game called RISK Global Domination and whenever my opponents do everything correctly I'm actually very happy about it. Just people using their brain in a game of any genre is a beautiful sight to behold.

[@ninjack11]

i like how mad Asmon gets every time there is a clip from the Grim Guzzler in BRD

[@jh_lolz]

we love classic hardcore content

[@TheBoxGhozt]

everytime i hear "He's a clicker" i think about my Holy Priest friend who heals me when i tank M+ on my paladin. Man is clicking in +20s and it blows my mind

[@DBZ-Mousa]

At 11:22 I swear to God I have never laughed so much in my entire god damn life! I grew a 12 pack abs from laughter!

[@michaelsuder486]

Grow up

[@E-JFD]

new raid requirement: have at least 1 lvl 60 hardcore character to prove you aren't an idiot

[@Lucifronz]

16:54 You don't need to have played this for more than a few minutes to know that was going to go poorly. Even if you didn't know about the ghost wolf's movement speed bonus, which anyone who has run next to a shaman should, you *had* to have seen how tough the jump was. But he wasn't paying attention, asked how he got over there, and the guy didn't say "I barely made it, don't try". He just let him fall. Fail on the part of his friend.

[@bobshewmake5369]

I love all these videos, but I think it would be even funnier if Blizzard added unknown abilities to most 40+ mobs like stuns, novas, fears, that no one would expect...then see the reaction of vets that had no clue that was going to happen as they GET GOT by abilities they didn't even know the mob had. Would be good content.

[@dreiak]

I recently did the entirety of BRD at level 54 as a ret paladin (leveling spec) as the tank, and had no issues tanking everything, nobody died, totally smooth run. It wasn't hardcore, because think HC is stupid, but fundamentally its the same content, and I do not understand how people are wiping in that dungeon if an out of spec plate wearer can tank everything and its not even close. I would say we speed ran the whole thing too. I never stopped so healer or DPS could drink. Burning crusade dungeons are WAY harder than anything in classic, even on normal mode. I didn't have any issues tanking until BC, even with nearly BIS leveling gear from classic.

[@uschiaala]

On layering... just make sure you go stand in a town before you accept an invite? Accepting an invite in a cave or on the main road in Duskwood is asking for trouble.

[@tc7584]

Going down the middle of Gnomer is like driving into Fallujah. It's not smart and you don't do it unless you're looking for trouble.

[@ExposeXpert]

The group members in the first clip should be happy that the crappy healer died. With his healing, his whole team would've ended up dying in the dungeon.

[@anthonytanevski1976]

bro really started uploading these right as i got into the game, perfect timing

[@Joel_bjornfors]

Blizzard should just fix it and say it’s a unintended bug, there is none that thinks the vertical endless hit range is a mechanic the is good, and it’s also something the is not beneficial or abusable

[@garrymullins]

That mage clicking everything 2:25. Omg. So bad.

[@HarhaMedia]

I don't get how there can be such major glitches on the official blizzard servers. Today I was annoyed because murlocs in water just evaded everything while hitting me.

[@jikbleach5403]

12:19 Swamp of sorrows, very fitting

[@jotuthegamingguru8809]

Wow hardcore classic has become a phenomenon. I'm loving it myself, my 23 shammy is soo much fun and intense! Can't wait for official shenanigans

[@bakedbeyondbelief321]

elevators. elevators on any MMO RPG I have played always have bug / mechanic issues. elevators, a dev's nightmare.

[@nonameform]

That rogue in BRD ‘I hate doing BRD as a rogue, ‘cause he got only one piece of loot out of five runs. Guess he loved that he is a rogue after that mess.

[@Gorvinhagen]

The panic, dude. It's so glorious. Priest brain at the beginning imploded

[@Kilroy098]

Asmon is the Gandalf of WoW. I am enjoyer of his wisdom.

[@Gradashy]

Guild Wars fixed the problem of snipe monster from high ground much better, they give an absurd amount of HP regen when the monster can't reach the player, making then immortal.

[@OneTwoMark]

Idk why anyone would play harcore. Its not a question of if you'll die its when. And when you do die its gonna be an emotional bag of rage, and thinking to yourself what a waste of time.

[@cloudededen5819]

Yeah I don't why anyone does anything in life, you just die at the end, so pointless right? Get a grip pls

[@HarhaMedia]

Well I gave hardcore a try yesterday. Everything was going well until I went greedy on Hogger as a lvl 12 gnome mage. If you want to survive, just avoid caves, don't get greedy and be careful around cliffs. :-)

[@jera9654]

Asmagoob you're the man. Thanks for destroying all of my fomo/regerts over never playing WoW. Thumbs up every vid.

[@Ciffe88]

The mobs hitting you from way above or below is still a thing in retail. Just doesn't affect us that much I guess.

[@nuffyb9878]

after15 years this should be a streamlined well oiled machine with only bugs that are niche. but has obvious bugs like it came out last week

[@voldemort008]

5:40 Those stairs are a reset spot lol.

[@kayrashyallenansatsu7918]

Asmon: Why is he watching that video? It's from 2 months ago Me, who watches videos from years ago just cuz i enjoy his content

[@Gankinatortube]

The enemies should have been on the elevator anyway…

[@Slakbury]

When you get shifted layers the game could just make you unable to proximity aggro mobs for 15 seconds or something. I don't imagine they'll ever fix it though even for HC.

[@Enslaver3]

Druid is the best class for hardcore :D

[@SchrödingerKousae]

[@antonab1]

I realized quickly that I'm not cut out for hardcore. I tried three times and with all three characters I couldnt even get to level 10.

[@InfoGuyHalliwell]

Ok but the David clip made me sad cause I wish I had friends to play HC with :(

[@Makkino]

Im honestly curious, is there a different hardcore challange where you try to get to 60 without keybinds?

[@Bobicici]

Its pretty crazy, but so many people never find out that keybinding is a thing. Or they just don't bother. I remember back in the day, I went from Wotlk all the way to MoP without keybinding because I was too lazy to relearn shit. I got so fast with keyboard turning and button clicking that a friend of mine who was a gladiator-level player literally didn't know I keyboard turned and clicked until I told him. After he forced me to finally switch to keybinding and I got past the first couple weeks of relearning how to play however, it was like a whole new world was opened to me

[@AMEDIBA]

why WoW/Blizzard doesn't have a system that tells you that you are going to a different layer when joining a different group ? almost every game that use layers have that system and some don't teleport you even when join a group unless you click by yourself switch layer or teleporting to leaders layer ...

[@php_developer6041]

that last mage should have read about Newton's first law of motion fr

[@PlayerSalt]

people blaming all these "bugs" on vanilla remember that classic i like based on the shadowlands retail patch, if you see a bug in classic its still in retail, the mobs likely behave a bit differently

[@RobewhO]

Oof, that first clip. Soo close, then.. netted and deaded ☠

[@crocodiledowny2191]

Pretty sure the distance bird was by design to account for lag

[@museluvr]

First time I encountered Stitches, I was like "who' this?' then dead. And I still click, and have nothing wrong with doing it. I've adjusted gameplay accordingly. Yes, it can be done Asmon. Too old to attempt keybinds.

[@epikhighfan1]

Shaman at the end clicked off both mount and slow fall from nogg.. that was his fault

[@lucypurr666]

Think that priest could have lived possibly if they used Levitate, don't see that ability on their action bars.

[@Oolong_Bagged]

The priest at minute 8-ish could have lived if he had a light feather to levitate off the edge. His fault for not having one. Also it's a well well well known bug so it shouldn't be a shock.

[@nastywaffles]

How about this hot take Mr Jake. It’s a broken game, still is and always will be. Jake is the backseat VIP, maybe you should become a twitch streamer yourself.

[@Oolong_Bagged]

@@nastywaffles it definitely has broken aspects to it but, like you said "it always will be" and always has been. If you play the game long enough you know. Twitch isn't only about game skill it's about personality which admittedly I do not have. My only point with my comment is it sounded like asmon was saying he had no way out, he definitely did if he had a light feather.

[@TheBappin]

how do people chose to be a clicker? reaction time is hindered, ability to move your camera or move character with mouse is gone while going in for a click, your eyes move away from important things while you move your mouse to click on a spell. people actively chose to make themselves worse? why? its like paddles on a gamepad, why lift your thumb off the stick you aim with so that you can jump when you can use a paddle on the back and jump with a finger that isn't being used and still maintain full control to aim at the enemy.

[@marcovidal9782]
