[@CrippledMerc]

I’m only a few minutes into the video and he’s talking about “wing dungeons” and what came to mind immediately was the dungeons in Hellfire Peninsula. I could imagine those (3?) dungeons all being together in one instance instead of being separated. There was a fair bit of that in TBC, if I remember correctly, with multiple dungeons being right next to/near each other. Then we got it again in Wrath a few times too. I never really thought about that before.

[@drewblock1365]

Yeah but sadly it seems like they abandoned that philosophy after wrath. TBC it was all over the place, nearly all of their dungeons were in clusters.

really like the non-streamlined itemization of vanilla. Not really scalable to expansions, but for the scope of vanilla, it worked really well.

[@deenman23]

not rly,it could still work,a vanila item gives 15 str and 1% crit,a tbc items could have been 40 str and 1% crit,you still would go for the tbc one,even if you filled up on old crit gear,whats the point in doing 100% crits whent they end up weaker than non crits with tbc stats

3:18:00 Yeah I remember failing to mine ore. IIRC when you hovered with your mouse over the ore, you had a colored text from like grey to white to yellow to orange to red or something, representing the difficulty for you to mine it. Grey/white was always a success whereas yellow and orange had a fail chance and red wasn't mineable yet.

I found a zone during tbc while wall jumping. From the spot where you could fall through the wall outside the stormwind inn, if you ran far enough you’d hit a valley that was just a valley that was just a flat green colored texture over everything. It was called the emerald dream on the mini map.

This is the best wow channel on the internet, I have learned so much from this channel and him, he is so underrated and it breaks my heart to see him not get more success especially with how much his videos are full of full effort, time, research, love, and passion. Keep it up bro, we love you and you are doing amazing.

[@LoudWaffle]

I don't know why they didn't just put the hypothetical "South Seas" expansion on a different world layer like they did Outland, but still make it appear like it's part of Azeroth. This was absolutely possible, because as you explained they literally did that with the Draenei and Blood Elf starting zones. I think doing a "lower stakes" adventure-like expansion like that first would have been great for WoW's progression long-term. Looking back, it definitely feels like a mistake that they blew through almost all of the biggest plot threads left hanging by Warcraft 3. Illidan and the Outland gang, and Arthas in Northrend feel like they were "spent" too early at this point in the narrative.

[@youtubeacc7012]

Another almost as big advantage to weapon skill not mentioned in the video is that it lowers the miss chance against enemies, so you do not need to gather +hit on as much gear.

[@Iranex1]

Hey, Classic wow speedrunner here. Edgemasters are very very good, but not really for the glancing blow damage increase. Don't get me wrong, it's super nice, but the real reason people want edgemasters is the hit chance that weapon skill gives. Because raid and dungeon bosses (mobs with a skull as their level) are technically lvl 63, they have a defense skill of 315. That is the exact breakpoint were you start getting massive reductions to hit against a mob if you only have 300 wep skill, 3% to be exact. So when you equip edgemasters you ALSO get an extra 3% hit chance against lvl 63 mobs. There are a couple of pieces of gear in the game that give 1-4 weapon skill, but they are never used except in situations where you are already getting weapon skill from something else. Think maladath from bwl, its +4 sword skill but you will never see a warrior with JUST maladath unless they are a human because humans already have +5 sword skill. Any other race with just maladath will not have the full +5 skill needed to get the +3 hit, so you just dont see it unless they buy it from a gdkp and dont know why its not good for them by itself. This is why on horde side youll only see warriors with edgemasters OR rogues have maladath. Rogues get +5 swords from their talents and so basically have a free edgemasters baked into their talents. Whereas on alliance youll see basically any human warrior have maladath and NOT have edgemasters. Human rogues have +10 swords, aka a bit overkill (but maladath is still good dps so youll still see some rogues with it just because). And nonhuman rogues never get maladath and are expected to go daggers a lot of the time because the human racial pushes them to just be better investments for swords (this is because the glancing blow damage increase, like I said it is still pretty dang good so if youre gonna have a sword rogue might as well make it a human). And nonhuman warriors usually dont get maladath at all unless they already have edgemasters. The hit , combined with the glancing blow thing, pushes edgemasters above almost any other gloves in the game. BUT you would only want to wear them for lvl 63 enemies. And in fact you see a lot of warriors unequip their edgemasters for trash because tanks want extra defense since their edgeies arent doing much, and dps would rather throw on tier 1 gloves or something to actually get some hit back since all trash is 310 defense skill, making 305 weapon skill unnecessary against them, aka edgemasters do almost nothing for mobs below lvl 63. Youre actually way less likely to get glancing blows against 62 mobs and lower. That glancing blow chart you had in the video is actually a chart specifically for lvl 63 mobs. This is why its an unspoken rule for warrior leveling to not fight mobs higher than 1 or maybe 2 levels above you: the miss chance and the glancing blow chance makes you do way less damage. EDIT: I didnt quite realize how old some of these videos were when I commented this, but ill leave it up because I think its interesting.

[@Yippaah]

[@JayBigDadyCy]

This reminds me of Nobbel's vids and how I used to relax to them and sometimes even fall asleep. You don't trill your R's like he does, but your voice is soothing enough. Not only was Master Conjurer bad, but basically no one played Demo until WoTLK anyways. One little known, never talked about OP spell in Vanilla, especially towards the end of vanilla was Soulfire. Yes it consumed a soulshard, but as a geared warlock you could 1 shot players with just that spell on crit. I would farm bags full of shards just to go into AB with my guild (BL at the time) and laugh hysterically every time I crit with SF. Last thing (maybe lol)- in the manual I remember it pointing out some common terms used in MMo's. Like "noob" for example lol.

[@Moehre040]

Can confirm that the Defias pillager fireball can in fact crit. I've leveled basically every class except priest in SoD and have been oneshot (or nearly oneshot) by that thing because it crit a couple of times.

[@ivankrushensky]

That's why line of sight was a very important tactic. As well as other tactics for questing. Playing a mage, I always had to figure out how I was going to CC gnolls or murlocs to keep them from running to get their buddies at 20% health.

[@Spadoodles]

Thank you for posting this! It's actually helped my health immensely as I play this while I sleep. I've got a JBL Charge that it just plays through (that's plugged in) while I sleep. Just wish you had made the video or facts just a bit longer, so I could have a full video to sleep through. One issue I've noticed though (and if anyone else has noticed), is that when I wake up from my alarm, I'm unfortunately repeating some of the facts repeatedly until I completely wake up. Has anyone else had this issue?

[@cat_named_norris]

Well then good news! Check out Classic's upcoming Season of Discovery, which is launching at the end of the month on November 30th. With the way it's structured, it may literally be the best time in the history of the game to get back into WoW. Plus, you get the great vanilla world experience with more modernized gameplay for the classes; think WotLK era class design in vanilla.

For those of us that played RPGs in the 80's and 90's (Dragon Warrior/Quest, Final Fantasy, etc.), we remember the days of no map at all. It was meant to be an adventure that you had to read. You would go from town to town talking to NPCs and try to piece a story together. Strategy guides were sold separately. And the part about hardware limitation (and internet speeds for that matter)- probably had a lot more to do with decisions being made than people realize. I am still amazed that they were able to get a MMORPG to take off in the early 2000's. People these days don't realize how big of a deal that actually was at that time, now that pretty much every game involves playing with peers. At the time, this was fairly new- especially on a massive scale like WoW. Hell, even playing Starfox with 3 others seemed cool. Jumping on WoW with THOUSANDS of people seemed unbelievable.
