I Swam Around Northrend and Found... (Part 2) | World of Warcraft

[@numitor9119]

I would love to see you do a cataclysm swim and compare what you find to classic. Also I love this series and would love to see it continue.

[@numitor9119]

@@aredub1847 I know but levelling in retail is super easy and so is travel so if he really wants to it wouldn’t take him long. But if he doesn’t want to I total get it was just a suggestion.

Perhaps sometime in the future! ;)

Yeah... thanks for this awesome journey. Was a great ride. Keep on going with your cool videos. Greetings from Germany.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@TheKeiyal]

The 'Exploring Azeroth' achievements were always some of my favorites to get, I just love the mystery and wonder found in all the old zones and the quirky stories within them. Thank you for this nostalgia filled trip JW! Will be sure to tune in for more of your content

[@Jediwarlock]

You are most welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@Owl_Knight98]

Achievement earned: "What a strange, long trip it's been" Thank you for this new perspective on this game I love and played for years

[@Jediwarlock]

You are very welcome! I'm glad you have enjoyed it :)

[@Menjoood]

You can't end it here man. This series is incomplete without the new zones. While the Cataclysm comparison would be interesting, I'm confident Pandaria, Kul Tiras, Zandalar and the Dragon Isles will have some actual cool, hidden stuff for you to report on.

[@Jediwarlock]

Haha, in that case I definitely have to check out Retail someday! :D

[@Niels741]

Been watching your wow videos now and then, but it was really never the swimming stuff that made me watch, its more about you just exploring a world many of us grew up in and finding little things many of us have overlooked, keep doing what you are doing even if its something that has been done plenty of times before - we are all here for the good old wow nostalgic feeling

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you for the kind words! More adventures soon to come :)

[@abyssalforge9322]

This was a great series and I'm glad you made it. Can't wait for the lore videos!

[@Jediwarlock]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)

[@alk3nnygh0stz__]

I've been watching this series since its beginning and seeing it come to a close was both saddening yet satisfying. Thank YOU for the wonderful and heartwarming experience! :)

[@Jediwarlock]

You are most welcome :) I'm glad you've enjoyed it!

[@Bananasaur90]

I really enjoyed this series of your swimming across the shores of WoW, it's how I came across your channel. I'd really love to see you exploring these lands again to find hidden secrets and easter eggs inland, or even to traverse the shores of Mists of Pandaria and beyond! I am excited to see what you come up with! Thanks for the awesome content thus far ^^

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you so much! Exploration, lore, and secrets are my fave parts of the game to cover :D

[@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr]

I really enjoy your videos, found you the first time when your first swimming video got recommended, thanks for the journey and see you in the next videos! :)

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it :)

[@Buclock]

Thanks for the long swim, I love exploring Azeroth :D

[@Jediwarlock]

You are most welcome! :)

Nothing but love for you and your videos! I'm thrilled for the upcoming videos!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! :D

[@krypto051]

Aw man, no more swimming videos. I genuinely loved this series. Keep up the good work, it its very nostalgic and old school, but I just love it!

[@Jediwarlock]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it! :D

[@anthonmller944]

[@erics.1275]

I've enjoyed this whole series. Thank you putting the time in to doing such a great series.

[@Jediwarlock]

You are very welcome! :)

[@Garouwerks]

Great series. I'm looking forward to your next WoW series. ❤

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! :)

[@Shokisan1]

Thanks for this series. It is nostalgic but also I play on private servers so I feel fortunate that I can still experience these zones as they were pre-Cata.

[@Jediwarlock]

I was a private server player for 11 years growing up :) Private servers are excellent and I'm glad you enjoy playing on them!

[@BegToDiffer99]

WoW, did I ever enjoy these! Great work!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! :)

[@sootmancer9851]

great work on the bgm placement :D it was very fitting and enjoyable

[@Jediwarlock]

Oh good! I tried a little bit higher volume and I'm glad it is working and fits the video :)

[@thedoughyboy4030]

Enjoyed the series, hope to see more videos from you soon.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you! More adventures soon to come. :)

[@NitroBoarder17]

glad i did come across the series and sad to see it end, but excited to see what is next!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you were along for the ride :)

[@eldritchpodblast]

Congratulations JW, it's been a pleasure. Thanks for taking us around Azeroth! Cannot wait to see what else you've got planned. 🖤

[@Jediwarlock]

Thanks! Lots more adventures soon to come. ;)

[@DudeWheresMyJo-Car]

Congratulations! I admire your persistence in completing this task! I think my favorite finds are the elementals sequestered behind Azuremyst/Bloodmyst or the sunken ship super deep off the coast of Westfall. I dread that quest on classic so I had no idea there was a secret just out of sight!

[@Jediwarlock]

Those are two of my favorites as well. :D Thank you for the kind words!

[@Eyevou]

I really enjoy the exploration aspects of your videos! Especially how you put them in this video essay-type style. It really reminds me of what Hayven Games use to do back in the day. One thing I wish you had done, for this video, is put up a map of where you began exploring, with a circle showing where you were. It would have helped everyone recall where you ended last video.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you so much! I've been compared to Hayven a couple of times and it means a lot to me that I'm helping capture some of that same attitude toward the game. :) ...as for the map, very good point! That's probably the one thing I forgot to add to the overlay in this case... most of the time I add quite a few maps of out-of-the-way spots :)

[@Eyevou]

@@Jediwarlock You live and learn, I guess!

[@theoutlander1411]

Really good stuff as always

Thank you very much! :)

[@stevensperanza109]

What a fantastic exploration series!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! I have had a fun time making it :)

[@stevensperanza109]

@Jediwarlock that's all you can ask for man. It's so nice to see people exploring the old world and making content out of it, especially something as overlooked as the coasts of each continent. What's next on your agenda?

[@Jediwarlock]

@@stevensperanza109 Lots of ideas! :D I want to touch on Classic+ a bit more, but overall just want to keep exploring and showcasing cool areas. :)

[@Mysbananen]

keep it going with retail waters! been a fun journey so far :)

[@Jediwarlock]

I might move on to retail at some point! I'm glad so many people have enjoyed the journey :)

[@IBrowneeI]

I would imagine that Howling Fjord has so many shipwrecks because originally that's where Arthas landed in Northrend during WC3 and got a little too ship burning happy. They probably started developing the map with that in mind, but somewhere through development retconned it to be in Dragonblight instead, since he was supposed to be somewhere icy and and freezing, and clearly Howling Fjord looks a tad warmer. Not too sure why the change beyond probable aesthetics, but its a pretty minor one in any case. They literally just moved his landing sight a little more west, even if it does cross a zone.

[@Jediwarlock]

Great point! Yes, originally Daggercap Bay (by Valgarde) was intended to be the landing site but they moved it to match the winter theme of Dragonblight I believe. :) Also, with the Northsea Pirates in the area it makes sense there would be lots of naval skirmishes from time to time.

[@Reality.juiced]

GG love the video keep em coming

[@Jediwarlock]

More adventures soon to come! ;)

[@green11ndy]

Would be cool to see the "coasts" of the outlands, maybe even compare it to Draenor. Also would be cool to see the coasts of Pandaria as I never got to explore Pandaria as much.

[@Jediwarlock]

I did do a Flying Around Outland video which is about as close as I could get to swimming, haha. Maybe I'll try retail someday! :)

[@flynnik6566]

i would love to see this series continue into retail wow

[@Jediwarlock]

Perhaps one day! :)

[@tackjens]

Will be fun to see ya do Mop and Legion as well,

[@Jediwarlock]

Perhaps I'll do them one day :)

[@mattyb9708]

@@Jediwarlock of course!

[@Syltarius]

5:39 Not quite sure but I think if there is one zone that can have more then 52 ships in it, then it are the zoens of Vashj'ir (Cataclysm Classic is upcomming so maybe another deep dive, rly deep this time)

[@Jediwarlock]

Ooh yes perhaps Vashj'ir would have the record!! That would be interesting to compare :)

[@Dungeon47]

I believe the dark area around 1:20 in the video is a reference to N'Zoth.

[@Jediwarlock]

Very possible! Yogg'Saron's tendrils and possibly N'Zoth as well have tendrils all over the place...

[@OnepusRepus]

The blood of Yogg-Saron is black, and the Old God himself is imprisoned deep below the mountains of Storm Peaks. I think it could be that some of Saronite could have seeped through the stone and into the ocean, corrupting the waters around Yogg's prison. Tentacles of the Old Ones stretch far across Azeroth, after all.

[@Jediwarlock]

I LOVE that theory! :) Great lore connection... I would not have thought of that! It would definitely explain the creepy water here.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

still lots of lakes to explore

[@Jediwarlock]

Yes! :D ...definitely on my list for possible future videos!

[@goshlike76]

sweet mother of shipwrecks, what a treasure cove that is.

[@Jediwarlock]

Indeed! :)

[@dreamermagister8561]

Interesting, i mean yes Cata doesnt have a new land to swim around but what about Pandaria, AU Draenor, Broken Isles, Zandalar and Kul Tiras, nothing to swim in Shadowlands but there is the Dragon Isles!

[@Jediwarlock]

Lots of potential options! I have not played retail yet, but maybe down the line I will check it out :)

[@Toini01]

I think your videos really highlight why flying, while convenient, really isn't a good features for games where the main character is the world. Just look at 1:40. I'm in awe looking at the size of the cliffs and all. Just imagine not having a flying mount in Northrend and trying to figure out a way to climb it. I know TBC and even more TLK were designed with flying mounts in mind, but honestly everytime I'm flying over the map to go to a dungeon or whatever, I just feel like the world is irrelevent past the questing experience.

[@Jediwarlock]

Very good point! :) Flying definitely has its pros and cons within the game.

[@ogstef]

Next - Flying around Azeroth? :D

[@Jediwarlock]

Perhaps :D

[@NorthWay_no]

How about checking out all the inland waters too?

[@Jediwarlock]

I have it on my list! :D

[@rietoh]

nooooo we need MOARRRRR

[@Jediwarlock]

Haha, I'm glad you're enjoying these! Perhaps more in the future :)

[@ArgerasCZ]

will you do same video for pandaria and draenor ? :)

[@Jediwarlock]

I've had a lot of people ask that but for now I'm just sticking with WotLK. :) Maybe in the future though!

[@Halibel764]

Hi JedyWarlock, there is one thing I think you should see : it's what people call the surnatural sea. Unfortunately I cannot find another video to show you this than an old one I made in pserv during an event where fatigue was desactivated, but here is what it's look like : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHaVh3mEmLKtg5Y It's on the fatigue zone so it's not "around" the continent but it's definitively worth a try! And thank you very much for the videal journey. PS : I found a huge skeleton in one of Rextroy ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKeuY4moi9Vke5o ) maybe it has a link with the big skeleton you saw.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you for sharing! :) those are both awesome finds! :D

[@everythingaboutwow2590]

can you swim in pools in each zone? like icecrown have old god in one pool but its mystery

[@Jediwarlock]

That's a good idea! Perhaps in the future I will make some videos on this :)

[@spaceboy5293]

Do Cata next :D

[@Jediwarlock]

I might move on to retail someday ;) ...plenty of Classic left to explore (even without the oceans!)

[@amastus4389]

Its time for the opposite of this series: Flying around Vashj'ir

[@Jediwarlock]

Yes XD

[@eddoukos262]

what if that skeleton was an aspect or some kind of dragon from ancient times the whole plot of retail is exatly like this

[@Jediwarlock]

It's certainly a possibility! :D

[@General12th]

Hi Jedi! I hope you keep going with Cata and beyond. Contrary to popular belief, retail is not the worst game ever, and hasn't ever been.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thanks for the suggestion! In the future I might try out Retail :)

[@xxshadowfistxx2308]

lessgo , am waiting for zul drakk vidoe

[@Jediwarlock]

I think it's gonna be a cool one! :D

[@QYVXZ]

First? Great series btw

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you! :)

[@Jabidy91]

I mean you still have all of Vashj'ir to check am I right? 🤔

[@Jediwarlock]

I'm currently on WotLK Classic so I am not sure if/when I will switch to retail... we will see! ;)

[@Jabidy91]

Honestly just about 10-20 minutes on retail will get you high enough level to go there, and loooooooads of underwater content! Not to pry but Vashj’ir is one of my favourites zones

[@josejuanandrade4439]

MoP dive gooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@Jediwarlock]

Perhaps someday! ;)
