My favorite part about the roller coaster is that the goblins weren't there at first. A bunch of players pointed out "hey, wait a minute, this roller coaster is DEFINITELY going backwards" (and it is) and they were Blizzard's response.

[@mattwo7]

Real Wildhammer Fact Checker energy.

[@BottledDelusion]

I don’t remember that. I rode it once deemed it less efficient than the carousel and never again lol

[@JohnDoe-uq9ni]

@@BottledDelusion ah yes min max the fastest way to kill all fun

[@HavocHounds1988]

That's great.

[@Buildonsound]

I would love to see a Darkmoon/Dark Carnival themed expansion, The Darkmoon Faire has so much to offer for story/themes/dungeons etc.

[@Beetlejuice2959]

Perhaps they could start of with a DMF dungeon. I think it could have been a good oppotunity to tie it in during Dustvar

[@Manwendlil]

hidden behind a paywall?

[@Buildonsound]

why do we need another paywall? There are already so many walls that deathpool is already counting them@@Manwendlil

[@HappyPsychoBunny3]

There was an entire Hearthstone expansion dedicated to it, which was some of the most fun I had with the game. Tons of cool stuff and amazing art

[@coyoteseattle]

I like the theory that Darkmoon Island itself is the fifth old god, and Silas is just a psychic projection of it. Just 'cause it feels like it would fit well with some of the Light is not automatically good/Shadow is not automatically evil stuff they've done over the years; instead you get a benevolent old god who is actively fostering peace and cooperation between the alliance and horde, albeit in a relatively minor way.

[@milenasoloduhina1726]

Or the old god has tricked us into going there to siphon energy from all the guests in a secretive and benign way to keep it alive. Like a freelancer that needs income and set up a self-sufficient gig on the side, so they can just chill and read books all day :D

[@Kylora2112]

@@milenasoloduhina1726 An Old God that feeds off of pleasure would be pretty cool :)

[@mattwo7]

Silas was in the old Darkmoon Faire in Mulgore and Elwynn so I do not think he is a projection created by the island. I do think it's possible it's an old god. Like how in Greek Mythology with the primordial gods: Tartarus is supposedly a primordial god, Gaia is supposedly the earth itself and Chaos was the state of existence before the universe and/or the foundation of reality (among other possibilities, though it would make more sense if Chaos was undefinable lol). Not sure about the older versions of Eros where he was one too though.

[@DIEGhostfish]

No, the faire were originally an actual traveling fair. We see their much simpler setup in vanilla, and we see a REALLY good story of them as a family in a Warcraft Legends comic.

[@coyoteseattle]

@@mattwo7 Don't forget that they used to go to Shattrath, too! But I don't really feel like that rules out the possibility that he's a projection, or at least some kind of avatar. After all, we've seen what the dismembered corpse of Y'shaarj can do; who's to say that, say, the eye of another old god can't be carried around by a carnival and manifest a mechagnome afflicted by the curse of flesh? Really, though, I hope they never actually clarify what's up with Silas, and the Darkmoon Faire. Even if they revealed that my speculation was 100% correct, that would be far less fun than all the theorizing.

[@WikiHL]

The carrusel is pointless, because it's a circle

[@kurfurst6465]

Isn’t a circle a collection of all points that are the same distance from the centre?

[@Orkinetxegar]

The art of y'shaarj is from a hearthstone expansion set arround all four old gods controlling the faire, so I wouldnt take it as proof of y'shaarj being the one behind it.

[@EIixir]

I don't play WoW but the dives into the lore in these videos always brings a smile to my face.

[@annhunter7308]

Corki from Nagrand is sometimes in line for a tour of the zoo.

[@chloramite567]

For a guy who uses a sloth PFP, you sure have been spit-firing these vids out Keep it up dude

[@rhysthomas2876]

You see the artwork elsewhere in the game. The pictures are in Dalaran and Waycrest Manor, and the larger artworks are in the Theatre event in Karazhan

[@AsilEroom1]

When i first started playing WoW, DMF terrified me. The carnie feel, the art and music. I stayed away for YEARS.

[@ofelijawow]

i love dmf, gotta be one of the best feature reworks in the game. from turning in spider eyes or whatever for cards and rep to all of this neat pointless stuff.

[@gigi3242]

I liked the concert, the fireworks, and the rollercoaster ride was fun. Thanks for the video

[@BeverlyHighland]

I was there when you were live. I was the one who told you what the rabbit was a reference to 😊 and that ghosts exist and how to see them.

[@GhastlyH]

I love playing at the arcade while waiting for PvP queues to pop. I wish there was a standalone version of the minesweeper game for PC and mobile that I could play as a time filler without having to be online. For some reason it's just so much more fun than the Windows minesweeper game, it seems to create more tension when you're walking around the minefield and you actually get blown up if you misstep.

[@HavocHounds1988]

I never even thought that Chester could be a reference to Marvelous Chester from the Dark Souls DLC, that's interesting. It kind of makes sense now.

[@suomar-art]

Great video! I really appreciate the use of the old Darkmoon music in the background by the way - as far as I know it’s unique and has not existed in the game since the new island, but it’s one of my favorite tracks in the game and has a simple but dark medieval feeling.

[@shawnburns3996]

I love the dark moon faire. Just one of those things I’ve experience for the past 10+years of my life

[@frtzkng]

One of the ambient sounds on the Rollercoaster is actually taken from Chris Sawyer's famous Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2

[@HavocHounds1988]

One thing I found interesting was in BfA when we got to see some of the Black Empire runes, there is one that looks very similar to the logo or whatever you want to call it for the Darkmoon Faire. The Hearthstone expansion "Madness at the Darkmoone Faire shows all the Old Gods looming over different parts of the Faire, not just Y'shaarj.

[@CondemnedInformer]

When you leave the darkmoon faire and the music fades out, that's very creepy to me.

[@Kingsupertrunks]

I thought you would have talked about the bands or the wolf in the forest. Those two things I would have mentioned in my top oh well great video thank you for the video

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

Crendor, you goofball. You mentioned the cannibal lady in the ghost section, but never actually elaborated on the fact that there's a cannibal living in the woods selling people meat.

[@gryfincol]

very good video i liked the part where you talked about the dark moon faire

[@GiveMeThatLetter]

Back before that underwater cavern was taken over by blood elves, it was the perfect empty spot to do stuff. Moon Guard had nothing on that cave. It was like a Jon Snow and Ygritte situation gone wild. 😂😂😂😂

[@donaldhughes2586]

Good video Crendor, keep up the good work.

[@dartimes6048]

My theory is Silas Darkmoon is an entity that feeds off Positive emotions (much like the Sha from Pandaria). There is an item called Silas’s Sphere of Transmutation that has flavor text that says “The Sphere’s surface swirls and shifts, showing different images for brief moments, never long enough to see what they actually are.” Isn’t referencing the faire itself but is actually referencing Silas, we never see Silas when the faire isn’t running, and what if all the carnies and workers are Silas’s minions (aberrations) in disguise or illusioned.

[@Lukisfer]

My favorite to 10 so far, shame it took me so long to watch it. Love the vids Crendor!

[@DIEGhostfish]

Silas buried thst man before he got the island, and he was smiling brcause the bastard had it coming

[@jackadam01]

Whats good Crendor Crew

[@loki_lokasenna]

Loved this one, Crendor! Appreciate you so much!

[@jesserothhammer7378]

I completely agree I'd rather not get a full story or confirmation of theories for the Darkmoon Fair. If we confirmed they were void aligned or whatever, even in a "no magic is inherently evil" story line, then SOME players would rage that we aren't doing anything about them. Instead, slightly shady, possible killers at a fair makes it like any real world fair, and we let those happen.

[@krystelbeaulieu-thibault3621]

Wasn't the gnome in some WoW books? Comics if i remember.

[@briannamonaghan9061]

Ayyyy I'm so early :o They really need to update the DMF! I feel like it has so much potential and blizzard just has to take advantage of that opportunity

[@ZakhadWOW]

not been paying attention I see. THere has a been a steady process of additional content added starting in Pandaria. I mean the Deathmatch in that mini arena, the coaster, the rabbit, Moonfang, the Death Metal Knight fight.... that Erinyes underwater cave... and most recently the dance contest. None of these things were in DMF at launch.

[@briannamonaghan9061]

@@ZakhadWOW oh they've for sure been slowly adding stuff over the years, which is great. But idk, all the original content on the island is a decade old now, and I just wish blizzard would revamp it in some way. I can only do that cannon so many times before it's not exactly new and exciting anymore. Maybe that's a me problem but i want the faire to get more love 😭 edit: the warlock questline only sorta counts lol

[@WoWsalutare]

the dark moon old comic left me speechless, that ending... O.O

[@gdi69]

Huge agree about #3. Sometimes it's funner not to know. Another example is whenever they try to explain magic. It's magic. We don't need to know more than that. lol

[@kbredstar529]

The meat seller in the woods, the killer rabbit, the old god eye all over... 5th old god energy bruv...

[@michelletyler9161]

Thoroughly enjoy your top 10 videos, thank you for continuing to make them. Makes me appreciate overlooked thing in WoW. Also, now I want a top 10 for every zone. :D

[@michelletyler9161]

As in ‘top 10 points of interest in winterspring’ for example.

[@charlottetill3205]

Excellent top tier content right here - loved it! It has been so long since I have died on that island - have not even tried for any of the raid bosses in years - so I had no idea about the named Ghosts / can't remember ever seeing them...that's really cool indeed.

[@junoquat582]

Number 11: that girl always chasing her frog. When I was a kid playing the game I tried numerous ways to try and get that frog for her. I always thought it would become a pet lol.

[@TheWolfwiththeDragon]

3:03 You could’ve just used footage from your old video showcasing the Darkmoon Rabbit when it was first released back in MoP beta. Look it up!

[@bryanjturner21]

I see Corki got him self caught again, surprised you didn't notice that since Nagrand is your favorite zone.

[@TreesPlease42]

DMF is a great spot for getting beer!

[@MegaJawa12]

Top 10 pointless culture references in WoW: #1: My cabbages! Theres an NPC in the jaina questline when you chase Lady Ashvane through Boralus on a horse and halfway through you approach a cabbage merchant where you can choose to jump or keep on running! If you run through the cabbages the NPC says: "MY CABBAGES!!". This references the cabbage merchant from Avatar the Last Airbender

[@drow_Lilith9940]

i really loved darkmoon faire tie in comic

[@darkninjacorporation]

Chester’s Fey Elves have crabs… 😂

[@mattwo7]

9:50 I want to know but I don't mind if it stays this way.

[@Matt-lc8qt]

I think instead of happiness it would be more fitting with something like mania, since that's a negative emotion.

[@SinForTheSaint]

That Rollercoaster beta tester is holding a pilgrim looking hat. I wonder who that was specifically. That must be a clue as to who it was

[@Banaanivatkuli]

Even in lore people don't want to know the mystery of the island as that could ruin the fun rides.

[@josephtrahan8045]

I had no ideas about most of this stuff. I didn’t know the fair had any lore.

[@t00thman]

The game will tell you all current Faire locations if you enter the command /moon

[@semaxwell1]

That command sounds more like an emote to actually "moon" someone ... lol

[@Valkyriecass]

Your videos always make my day just a little bit better, the healthy amount of better that a few minute KZbin video should 💙

[@TheNicopy]

Corki at the petting Zoo is always gets caged somehow 😂 since TBC

[@kenny31000]

Welcome to the Darkmoon fair everyone time to get get trinkets and bobbles

[@volliknight]

There's the sha pet called Happiness you can get.

[@TheCosnikidiot]

Oh yeah about that hearthstone art there is literally an entire expansion about Darkmoon fair and how it’s corrupted.

[@Zanzibar_Dallax]

I never liked the Darkmoon Faire 🤷🏾 The only thing I cared about were my decks of cards 😎

[@iain-duncan]

Erinyes is air-in-yeahs basically

[@RavenDreamer]

can't wait for Pointless Top 10: Crendor Shitty Photoshop Inserts 😆

[@tephulio]

"The eye is the thing everyone notices when they go to the Darkmon Faire!" Meanwhile my my dumb ass who's been exalted for years literally never noticed any of them

[@ddogh26]

I liked the ghosts

[@Domdrok]

Please cover the Warcraft secrets event that's coming up!

[@ltech12]

What, no Moonfang !?

[@damienblack6749]

just give us felblood elves Blizz plsss(NOT as a separate race)

[@Kylora2112]

I think the shipwrecks around the island happened because Darkmoon Island simply spontaneously manifests at a random location in the Great Sea. So ships have no time to react and steer away, so they become part of the island itself. But I'd rather Blizz just let the fun lore never actually get revealed...the unknown is a lot more fun than the known.

[@RealmRabbit]

iirc I think there's a WoW manga that is at least somewhat about Sylas isn't there? Think I got it somewhere

[@MrJohnspartan117]

Art Moon Faire

[@notyourdaughter666]

may i recommend next year doing a pointless top ten of the tournament of ages hosted over on moonguard? i think it would be really cool and a great way to kinda advertise the event since is it’s for charity ☺️

[@StewartHiles]

wait how are there ghosts for the dark moon faire in the past on that island if the faire only recently moved to that island. Did they follow it all the way to the island

[@CRod840]

Huh, I didn’t realize the Faire has so much to it. To me its primarily just That Place where you get the Rep/Exp buff

[@ThatGamerDad83]

After watching this I need to see an IRL pointless top ten at the Ren Faire you go to.

[@MercMercury]

Is it really a pointless top10 if I am learning fun facts during it 🤔

[@sinswhisper9588]

given how broken the storyline/questing/azerothian zones are .... how do the events like darkmoon faire even work?? (and yes ... i know the faire changes its location every year)

[@Mr.housekeys]

Silas Darkmoon is a dreadlord, tell me im wrong.

[@Arashmickey]

Yeah, I like when they don't reveal all the lore. It's a balancing act, but I'll always prefer they keep at least some mystery rather than tie things up neatly.

[@thesnep4757]

Oh, but to kiss an incubus...

[@majestyc0359]

No Moonfang?

I really like the Sha of happiness or the sha of Joy, doesnt matter if its woohoo my son got an A, or Woohoo I'm hiding a body with my son :D. Its just pure Joy.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

I still think you're the reason the darkmoon faire was totally revamped in the first place cause of that video you made years and years ago.

[@BlueFireDrakka]

it would honestly be really interesting to see an old god try to control people with pleasures and happiness more than Obey me or perish as the others are like they consantly gift their loyal followers with whatever they desire, even what could be seen as "benevolent" things like someone going to an old god since their kid is sick and the old god "helps" in exchange for their devotion. basically like how real cults work.

[@dorkporkknobslob9918]

This is my favorite top 10 I’ve seen so far. But I have always loved the dark moon faire since vanilla and the summer one too. And I main warlock. Dark moon fair island looks like it needs a lighthouse, maybe made from a mage tower.

[@thiswebsitesucksTBH]

i'm frankly disgusted blizzard hasnt turned that portrait of the female human into a bowl of fruit yet, absolutely shocking

[@BikerScumFTW]

No mention of the Scarlet Quartermaster?

[@Karldin83]

Another pointless thing about the petting zoo: hop on one olf the ponies and get an achievement

[@cedricksusername]

more like the darkmoon unfair am I right gamers

[@chirp4871]

I am a gamer, and I think you are right

[@G0Chiefs]

Have you done a pointless top 10 flight path masters yet? Great pointless video as always😊

[@diddydoodat6764]

One of my favorite parts of the darkmoon faire is the music

[@reptilizer]

There is a tentacle hidden inside of an outhouse (toilet) behind the rollercoaster, where the engineering game console is, on the way towards the death metal concert area.

[@Lamsan02]

One day Blizzard will fix the whack-a-gnoll quest so I don't get stunned everytime I turn it in. One day.

[@PizzaPony]

You can run out past the npc, and right-click to remove the hammer buff, you won't get stunned that way.

[@samigarnett2]

This was a great Pointless Top 10. Well done.

[@Geraldo_Rivian]

I wish Blizzard implemented more NPCs and quests for when our character dies... Especially in shadow lands... Would have been cool to perform entire quest chains as ghost

[@Ace_Disaster]

I didn't realize there was a rollercoaster! Wow!

[@Sanne78]

I loved this place and I was really excited when they re-did it

[@BottledDelusion]

I hope they do something with it someday. I love the area I love the idea but I’m the guy that never even goes to the golden saucer no interest in the actual content that isn’t an xp buff

[@Mogworlder]

Crendor I would to hedge a complaint, this pointless top 10 was significantly less pointless than I was looking for. 2/10 too much content. Loved the vid ❤

[@VikzeLink]

Eyeconic!
