Swifty Reaction to Blizzcon 2017 WoW Announcements - WoW Classic, Battle for Azeroth, & Cinematic

I was in the audience during the Blizzcon 2017 opening ceremony, and the crowd reaction for all of the new WoW content was amazing! I am so happy with everything they showed this year and can't wait for it all to be released!

[@willem1941]

My left ear thanks you swifty

[@andrefrasnelli2656]

hahaha

[@streamoparadiso8384]

ikr? He has some voice man..

[@666Metalholic]

bruh xD

[@Fullsteam247]

Right

[@seventythreedavid]

9:49 dude even swifty teared up. I knew it wasn't just me. I think it's just the fact that after all these years that passion for WoW still burns in all of us, whether we play avidly or not.

[@user-ow2ln3pw7d]

Man Sylv moment 9:28 was soo breathtaking and Anduin spell 10:48 so beautifull ! I think THIS IS THE BEST BLIZZARD CINEMATIC FOR WOW !

[@CaptainGrim]

The intro cinematic was pure beauty. I understand you fully if you tear up, haha. Also the crowd reactions in general were so goood!

[@Stuwi]

I tear up every time I watch it. Best cinematic ever made.

[@navouu5311]

Captain Grim I teared up and got goosebumps! For the alliance!

[@CaptainGrim]

I know right? It's such a tear jerker, especially knowing how much WoW has gone through. Amazing job by Blizzard!

[@mghtin8276]

i actually cry everytime i watch this.The best!

[@Banana_Adv]

I do as well, for both sides, which feels weird

[@Olkard]

Sylvanas shouts for the Horde, everyone goes "Woo!" Saurfang battlecrys, everyone goes "WORAOHRASDBTJABRSAJBRJKB!"

[@ЭмильКолдашев]

Brandon Turner Yes, why?

[@Olkard]

Because Saurfang > Sylvanas.

[@dams8648]

I would be yelling “FOR THE HORDE!!!!!” If I was there

[@SwordTune]

Nothing is more compelling than the first to answer a battle cry. A battle cry is a question, "Will you follow me?" But true spirit lies in being the first one to put in faith and answer "Yes."

[@everythinggamingnow]

i think this has been my favourite cinematic, really well made, would love to see a full length film in that animation type

[@eMoGaMeRz121]

You do realize that is extremely costly rendering software/CGI, that 3> minute cinematic probably costed 10s of millions, as much as we'd all love it i don't think blizzard would put years of time and billions of dollars into making it :(

[@codypettigrew9972]

You're taking a statement from like 2008 and applying it to today's tech. It doesn't take nearly as long to render these cinematics out as it used to. It could be a good movie instead of the trash targeted at 13 year olds that we got.

[@LlameStarcraft]

Yeah Chromie was awesome EleGiggle

[@Almostskilled]

The chills and tears during the cinematic, and everytime i re-watch it... well played Blizzard... well played.

[@patrick4451]

WE GOING HOME BABY

[@Methylglyoxal]

no thanks

[@StainderFin]

Battle of azeroth

[@realUlfricStormcloak]

Goin home with yo Avatar image I hope...

[@siyarg.4900]

TWO HOUR FLIGHTS TO GET TO YOUR LOCATION BABY!!!.........

[@RippedMoFuCk]

Did you notice Anduin smiled, a tongue and cheek right after he said "For the alliance!" directly mocking her "for the horde" anduins a cheeky dude lol

[@TheTwitchyBrownGuy]

In all my years of WoW, the cinematic for Bfa got me the most hype by far

[@skylercarver]

I am a hardcore Alliance player but for the love of Cthulthu seeing Sylvanas go all banshee gave me goose bumps 😍😍

[@neoda91]

same here man for the alliance but any faction lover would love both the horde and alliance scenes

[@HankJ666]

I really liked the dwarves, the look of the Stormwind soldiers and the race variety in the cinematic Like seriously, havent seen so many races in a cinematic since the ones for Vanilla and BC But... Even tho I like to have a max lvl character on both factions, this expansion is time to return to my home... *FOR THE HORDE!*

[@thewu910]

Horde player, and as much as Sylvanas made me fall in love with her, Anduin’s facial expressions as he called upon the light gave me the feels as well. That cinematic was just so well done all around.

[@leonin9947]

For the love of C'thun*

[@PrinceVega]

I'm glad Warcraft fans can get together like this and agree that everything this cinematic had to offer was epic. People try too hard to prove that Horde or Alliance is the superior faction. But, to a true Warcraft fan, there is only one real faction : Azeroth!

[@GruwskiTheDogski]

Epic reaction my man! Tears of joy and hype! :)

[@8bu3askor6]

First thing swifty will do in world of warcraft classic ...... warrior tricks

[@MilevGaming]

oh god this brings back memories hahahaha :D :D

[@adretsfesgesg8821]

and get recked by actualy good warriors like monkeynews

[@sommer4570]

One shot macro Vanilla xD

[@rumers100]

adrets fesgesg wrong becouse nowaday warrior class is izi lack of difficulty no stance dance also no restriction what ability can be used on specific stance.you just pop battle cry and mongoloid your enemy to death

[@DriftNick]

martin yachev, yes you can do that at 1700 rating, even the pruned versions of warrior has a far higher skill cap then it ever did in Vanilla/TBC, if you think it's mongoloid now just wait till a raid gear warrior does 80% of your hp in one mortal strike.

[@BrenTOR]

goosebumps everytime

[@wolvAUS]

Bren Gaming YUH

[@Shadow4192008]

Sylvanas with her banshee voice saying "For The Horde" gives me massive goosebumps, absolutely amazing.

[@oz8853]

People reacting to vanilla makes me so happy

[@remyllebeau77]

Have you seen the video by Nixxiom? It is hilarious. :D

[@Ren3gade]

CANT WAIT!

[@linda6794]

+FatSephy Shut up.

[@MuggsisGune]

Swifty, the genuine attitude you have towards gaming in general is really inspiring. Keep it up, man.

[@cjmilitarymuscle6353]

I love watching the hype. It's amazing everytime

[@neoda91]

just watched it again today man crazy

[@bigc1966]

I got a tear from that battle cry from Sylvanas also. Also, can't wait for Classic Servers.

[@nbubzy]

When Saurfang does the warcry and grabs the horde flag I get chills every time bro, that crowd was getting loud when he screamed, so awesome.

[@Toguse]

That horde bloodlust, swifty almost cried at that. FOR THR HORDE!

[@jakebedillion6537]

When Sylvanas said “For the horde”, I got MAJOR goosebumps

[@AlexSaheli]

You're so lucky to be able to be there :) thank you, have a great life! )

[@wowclassicdarindz]

man you re so happy; like a child on christmas . I love to watch you smiling.

[@MrMarkme7]

CAnt wait to make my lvl 19 rogue twink

[@S34G4T3]

engi glasses , deviate defias mix set , swords from dm , 2x crusader , sfk ring.

[@remyllebeau77]

The old pvp when gear, buffs, min-maxing, and enchants actually mattered, is the the only thing that can bring me back to WoW. I wouldn't mind having some of the old talent system either.

[@MrMarkme7]

the only reason im getting back into it is because of the nostalgia, and because its much simpler to get back into, because everyones starting from lvl 1 again, rather then getting back into battle for azeroth were the cap is 120.

[@LlameStarcraft]

1-19 vanilla probably takes as long as 1-110 in retail, lol ;)

[@Caedus696]

Battle for Azeroth won't be that hard to get into, you get a free boost to 110 when you buy the game and boosted characters go through a little tutorial zone so you can get used to all the skills.

[@SophiaAstatine]

Didn't cry when watching the opening ceremony, but after rewatching it just now, I did.

[@Stataze]

I'm not afraid to admit it

[@doisel971]

the crowd hype at the horde battlecry is LEGENDARY!

[@gentle_singularity]

The alliance one was louder, surprisingly.

[@gentle_singularity]

True. I liked Anduin's better too lol but that's just my bias.

[@doisel971]

The horde one is better imo, the orc scream makes me pumped up lol

[@Shadow4192008]

I'm fairly certain that the Horde one was the loudest, anyways whatever who cares lol. But that "For The Horde" battle-cry with Sylvanas banshee voice is honestly the best thing ever it honestly just gives massive chills. PS: Mass Resurrection is cheat xD

[@HagalSkrymir999]

The Alliance scream wasn't louder at all. If you watch the pure cinematic, in that moment the alliance soldiers in the cinematic cheer too quite loud. Thats why it seemed the Alliance one even was loud.

[@SpasMartinov]

this cinematic brough so many people back to wow :)

[@Alan-wh6gh]

Anduins scene is so powerfull and gives me chills omg u can feel the paladin essence trough his beins.

[@DarkClown06]

I have watched the BfA cinematic about 100 times and I still get goosebumps and I shed a tear.

[@xlp3461]

i love how they equally give each faction attention

[@joelponce3747]

Love your passion bro. Great video. For the alliance!

[@timlauwereys]

It's unbelievable what an impact WOW can have on our life. WOW is not a game, it's our hopes, our dreams, our reality...

[@sandro123429]

Oscar Abrahamsson maybe for you

[@VirusVox]

I love the crowd, the Horde players cheering when she yelled 'For The Horde!' And the Alliance players cheering when he yelled 'For the Alliance!'. Just awesome. I can't wait for this expansion, it has so much raw potential.

[@kastaway-mtx]

one of the worst expansions ever

[@VirusVox]

@@kastaway-mtx Sadly I'd have to agree

[@kastaway-mtx]

@@VirusVox whoa you replied! you posted the original comment 4 years ago! 👍🙏

[@micahfranklin1329]

When she started shooting arrows into the siege weapons from then on everyone had chills I cant tell you that

[@Svennybaerchen]

Blizzard knows how to start the Hype Train.

[@FluffyKgSpy]

Turamnab meh nope

[@fordfussiona5567]

i was specting swifty voice when sylvanas said for the horde

[@stonedoveexp3143]

Great video Swifty , thanks for sharing your live reaction, was awesome . made me have chills again watching you enjoy it!

[@KC7BEANZ]

The two guys behind you looked moody af, didn't notice them crack a smile once during the vanilla and expac reveal

[@Tillra]

I noticed that too. They had the look of "don't care" the whole time.

[@lostinfrance9830]

Russian spies

[@Skateobyou]

+Kyle Carr lmao was about to say the same thing thought i was the only one who noticed

[@Mr_Jish]

German Arena Esports Team prolly 😀

[@HankJ666]

+Medic1089 Well, if they were there for Diablo then they better sneaked in without paying

[@ruflelol]

I can remember swifty's vid in field marshal gear, glowing weapons. That time was the best PvP time I've ever had.

[@ilPrinceps]

Oh ok...so I was not the Only One crying with the cinematic

[@soldierstull]

Anybody else unexpectedly start to cut onions during Swifty's reactions?

[@Aerophina]

Can't wait until Classic.... A dream come true, truly. Thank you Blizzard!!!

[@freeze_xboygames9838]

For the Swifty XD all time ALI....

[@robertjstepp]

Best cinematic of all time for a video game. Too bad the expansion couldn't live up to that badassery.

[@100Predator]

Imo that very last slowmo scene could be the very best of the whole cinematic, I dunno its just so iconic an Orc and a Human. Love it

[@drosnelochmir6346]

That banshee scream send shivers down my spine every time! ....Victory for Sylvanas!

[@MikeTheGamer77]

still feel that way a year later?

[@shaokahn4555]

That didnt age well

[@nc0834]

I got shivers for both when they said "for the horde" and "for the alliance" so good.

[@mmarkusgaming]

lol its funny how the guy behind you doesnt give a f*ck 1:38

[@real4o]

he is like: vanila? meh, i pref the easy and boring part of wow

[@renragged]

He is not amused...

[@HankJ666]

+real4o Your typical vanilla player... Always feeling the need to point out current wow is "eassier and boring" even tho he doesnt even play it, just to "feel" like he is actually good at a videogame...

[@Avery_Autumn]

Dude wasnt even smiling when they announced Vanilla and the new xpac xD he looked pissed the whole video.

[@G0Chiefs]

Its the same look I have when someone is in front of me filming and talking when I'm trying to listen to announcements.

[@tatjustice]

Swifty, I love you bro! Never have I seen anyone play this game for so long and have this much of a genuine reaction to the game!

[@Pagnah]

That Banshee scream and "For the horde" battle call ... omfg.

[@suomilaava371]

I Stand for alliance, but gotta admit that both factions really shined in this trailer. when sylvanass goes banshee i get the goosebumps :D also same when MANduin heals everyone

[@hunterzolomon8153]

FOR THE HORDE !!

[@Thegoodykid]

FOR THE HORDE :)

[@herdent1957]

Hunter Zolomon For the Banshee Queen!

[@furdieallianz2079]

Alliance better.

[@woxineaucrows7355]

Man your one of the ONLY streamers that has actually played BOTH sides..your a Madman and we LOVE ya =) GB and rok-on

[@chincwcn]

when sylvanas shouted 'for the horde!!' i nearly threw my keyboard out of the window.

[@Aldever13]

Man when this was announced I didn’t even know what vanilla was (I was a noob) looking back now it’s still one of the greatest announcements I have ever seen

[@Xyrn_CA]

my left ear loves this!

[@iam.thecaptain]

ikr ? i started to check if my headphone was broken or not

[@HertizProductions]

Mine is broken on the right so nothing wrong

[@thewu910]

Horde player that has never leveled an ally beyond level 14, and as much as Sylvanas made me fall in love with her, Anduin’s facial expressions as he called upon the light gave me the feels as well. That cinematic was just so well done all around. FOR THE HORDE!!!

[@joaobatanete782]

the for the horde got me a tear aswell. great reaction brother, always keep on going

[@MrDeathenergy]

I've watched the intro cinematic about 8 times and i still get goose bumps while watching sylvanas

[@aethercosm]

You had the best reaction to Anduin's moment I've seen yet :D

[@emrenumanoglu2217]

FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!

[@ibrahimhalildogru7683]

👍👍

[@aidenzoray3716]

I like that the guy in the row behind is emotionless throughout the video ;) Didn't even flinch!

[@internaut4257]

Dude foreal, when sylvanas yelled "FOR THE HORDE" I felt that energy man, I felt it in my chest

[@lalakis30]

You can see how someone feels about the game and express his feelings from his reaction.well done swifty my friend my reaction was the same....

[@faithgiant_Ps91]

Great video man....I had to pull over to watch it :) Great man 👍

[@NebulositySirus]

The ending you can see swifty’s passion for the game

[@mrspidey80]

6:58 "Normally we would announce the expansion, show the logo and then later, much later we would show you the intro cinematic." Except they haven't done this since Cataclysm. Or was it Wrath even?

[@Acc0rd79]

Thank GOD they are getting back to their roots. I played WOW since the first week of launch years ago but stopped cold after WOTLK. I would come back for a week or two but quit again, just got lame and strange. I miss the days of working hard to get gear, having to meet friends on your server and gear up with them and work hard to get into a good guild. The cross realm junk killed it for me along with transmog stuff. I used to run into Org and stare in awe at the guys with the new tier pieces...I would work overtime to get geared up to join them in the big guilds and be the best healer I could be! So happy Vanilla is back.

[@brentwitmer1144]

See you on the Battlefield Swifty! :)

[@msf47]

Right now i have all kinds of WoW flashback from legion back to vanilla and all the people i met along the way some of them now irl friends

[@Coolrockndad]

I still get tears watching Sylvanas going full banshee mode!

[@Gulliedoutbigup]

This is the best example of how slow swifty is ''later, much later ,we show you the intro cinematic'' ''*crowd cheers*'' then you wait for it... and wait for it.. and wait for it.. ''oh, intro cinematic?'' well done man u caught up

[@cellowinters]

Glad I'm not the only one that teared up for Sylvanis's war cry.

[@4toetroll]

ohhh great now my bags will be full of arrows again

[@robynherbert7416]

What I love about this is the fact that Sylvanas smirks at the end like, "Mm that was pretty good pup, now lets have some fun" XD

[@sakeb16c]

At least I was not the only one with ninjas chopping onions when Sylvanas screamed ;)

[@HairFIip]

I don't care what it is if its video games like WoW, or sports or anything else. I just love seeing people who are so passionate about something and it's made a hundred times better when it's an entire community of people passionate about the same thing like this. I don't even play WoW so I don't know why I'm here, but this was a worthwhile watch. Made me smile at least.

[@senpaipanda7640]

I get a tear everytime I see Saurfang scream

[@yukimabi5225]

Anyone noticed how focused the guy behind swifty was the entire time?

[@ArunSplendor]

Man, Saurfang charging with that flag had me in instant tears.

[@intime2755]

Свифти всплакнул, все ролики близов на слезу пробивают от своей эпичности!!!

[@Eupeye]

I hope that i'm not the only one who noticed that the orc who battle-cried (don´t know if it´s correctly said, not my native lenguage) is nobody else than our beloved Highlord Saurfang

[@NixxioMusic]

this makes me proud to be a part of the wow comunity

[@GuitarSamurai17]

The sorcerers at blizzard entertainment are masters of emotional cinematics, the music is expertly crafted, i cried and was thinking... Why am i tearing up to this? Its to the point where its got to be supernatural, theres no way i or anyone i know could ever make a trailer that stirring And the story of the trailer isnt that great! But for some reason it still grabs your emotions and runs with it. Only thing i would have changed is anduin saying something like a father son moment before he mass res, kinda like in thor ragnarok

[@felpancake1925]

That crowd scream at 9:40 tho :D

[@arielvarela2649]

FOR THE HORDE!

[@maljayworldstar776]

Alliance players are always soft in game and real life compared to horde players

[@arielvarela2649]

The don’t have the sense of pride that horde players have

[@Bubbahabba]

11:25 was way louder

[@frozen3078]

D Pencil Maybe but you must take into account the silence that followed in the cinematic. The Horde part had constant war noise.

[@allied006]

Only thing I have to say, you did not know Anduin was a Priest?

[@FrancoDLF]

i cry too, a litle tear jaja . nice Wow Content. FOR THE ALLIANCE!

[@DjOkrad]

I cried too Swifty! Just amazing!

[@LasseIversen]

Never been so happy to see a dwarf before! The chills

[@fromragewerise2946]

"Stand as One! For the Alliance !" May Anduin Wrynn lead us to victory !

[@hex9930]

The beginning of this expansion was by far the most entertaining to me because of the MASSIVE 40v40 PvP battles that followed. Horde side was so pumped at the time that they didn't care for the objectives all that much. Their objective was to seek and destroy all Alliance members that were found. Regardless if they were alone or massed for an assault. Best moments of 2018, Alteric Valley.

[@crazymonkeydelta]

Swifty had me questioning my head phones for a few seconds....

[@Mosannugget]

That crowd scream and excitement at 9:35-9:40 ^_^

[@blackrose8418]

My left ear really enjoyed your voice Swifty

[@TemaGuardiaN]

Man it brings the memories when I just played vanilla

[@nano_chesus8933]

Bro when I herd "FOR THE HORD" I was pumped

[@Mazxlol]

Blizzard sure do the cool cinematic, wish they would do a full movie like that

[@WovenSpade]

I get goose bumps every time. Seriously every single time. I'm so hyped

[@maldlions5313]

I love when Every Alliance Troop stands back to fight! LETS WIN GUYS THIS FOR THE ALLIANCE!

[@ungabunga115]

"You may have stopped the storm! But, you cannot stop, the Zandalar!"

[@Trajikbpm]

Who else is still tearing up in 2019
