"You're not a guildie, you're a trial." Gee, wonder why trials don't stay. Self fulfilling prophecy. Trials don't stay, so they get treated like shit, so they don't stay.

[@schwegburt3002]

Consequence of losers getting a tiny taste of E-prestige and it going to their heads.

[@andromidius]

Its why whenever I've been in a position of power in a guild I make the trials last as short as possible. If someone shows up on time, performs 'well enough' (you don't even have to be great - just follow the mechanics and do your best) and there's no drama you're in by the end of the raid. The only longer trials are for people who aren't geared up for raiding yet, and therefore haven't been tested.

[@Qatch1140]

@@andromidius the average guild trial is 2-3 weeks. I almost always get promoted after the first week due to mechanics and DPS. It makes me happier and want to stay longer when I get the instant promotion rather than the drudge of no extra loot for weeks on end (I guess on retail it's not so bad now loot wise, but I main tbc ATM)

[@bernardomansoldo2978]

I remember my first guild in vanilla. I had a 60 hunter that was always benched in MC. I started leveling a druid. One day, while my druid was lvl 48, they asked me to heal a mauradon run. Not a problem! They did a boss that dropped nature resist gear and then proceeded to run out of the instance. Hey, how about princess? I asked. I have a quest to kill her, I continued. Then they said: no, we're not doing that. We are farming NR for AQ. I considered it for a moment and then said: Cool. Can i join the AQ20 group with my hunter then? No - they said. So I help you, but you don't help me, is that it? - I asked. Yes, exactly that. - they repplied. F*** you - I said as I dropped group.

[@MorbidBloodshed]

apart from the sadness in those stories... seeing those beautiful frostfirebolts flying fills my heart with so much joy

[@Aetherian1]

Flurry can go fuck itself, Frostfire Bolt was the shit

[@AGrumpyWitch]

One of my worst memories is getting into a Bastion of Twilight pug on my moonkin and the spirit staff I needed dropped. I rolled and a warlock asked if he could roll too. RL said no bc warlocks didn't benefit from spirit. Someone else rolled and won it, and my heart just dropped when they ran straight over to the warlock, stood there for a second... then the warlock equipped it. I whispered the person who won the roll and asked why did they roll if they didn't need it. They replied because the warlock asked me to so I could trade it to him. I asked if he knew the warlock and he said no. He literally just helped dick me over for no reason. That was the first time I realised other players could be assholes, and I haven't really raided much since.

[@akumpi]

what in the name of fuck

[@jerod5636]

@@akumpi pretty much. This was way back doing progression on curator. He got home and saw her Skype or mumble or whatever we used back then. Once he realized that there were dudes in the call with her he just yanked her out the chair and beat her up. Lots of screaming and crying and sounds of stuff breaking. Eventually he crushed her laptop and she dropped out of the call. We had no way to help. No idea where she lived so we couldn’t call police. It was absolutely awful. After a few weeks she got back online and told us she’d finally left him. I hope she’s still doing well, wherever she is.

[@akumpi]

@@jerod5636 Maybe I've had it easy but that wouldn't only be my worst day in WoW

[@andrewshandle]

2) is one that probably hits home for a lot of people regardless of how far they got into the game. Most players are fine with not getting loot, especially if they lose fair and square and the loot helps someone else....but losing to someone who is greedy and doesn't need it just feels horrible. What's worse is if the system in place supports or even promotes it, it's even worse. We're here to play a game, not to feel cheated by the people we are helping.

[@pohja4552]

Imagine if Preach gets banned for account sharing like Reckful did

[@user-ft8uk3xo7l]

Reckful got the account banned becuase it originally wasn't his, he was given it back in BC. Well, it's not the only reason as far aa I can tell, he used to boost people for irl currency at that time and Blizzard knew that, that account sharing of one of his fans' was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

[@sinklar7946]

Preach got banned for using a leveling exploit. Pretty sure that was his darkest day since this is the dude that prides himself on leveling every alt, and gearing them up properly.

@@mrgreenteatime2987 I will secretly admit that we are on the same boat xD

[@Rallarberg]

We've named the fight after one of our players. It's now 'The BB fight'. :)

[@SyntheticFrost]

To be clear, the reason people had issues with some of the bosses you list is because vehicle buttons and frames were DISABLED by default on the UI addons of the day, Pitbull, X-Perl, etc. If you were a pug and stepped into the raid for the first time, you'd jump onto the vehicle or drake and your UI simply would not display the needed action bars. People, including myself, a long time raider even back in classic, were baffled by these fights that had us hop on a boss specific ride. It was only after the first time that I realized I needed to fix my UI.

[@filiptimoce9023]

Gokufan actual legend with that chain lightning. God bless him

[@Escorducarla]

Oh lord, that Executus story was pretty much the ultimate in "I'm in this picture and I don't like it" moments for me. *shudder*

[@robertfugate2232]

My favorite WoW moment of all time actually came from Classic. The day Phase 2 started and Honor was implemented. Sulfuras - Horde. The massive - and by massive I mean EVERYONE on the server - fighting for control of Blackrock Mountain. I ran in ghost form from Thorium Point all the way to the mountain entrance, all the way down to BRD entrance, and in no point of my view could the ground be seen under the piles of bones. It was amazing.

[@lens_hunter]

Darkest day for me was back in BC, my guild (that I loved, good friends there) had a bit of a rivalry with another guild on the server (who I also had friends in) that had cleared up to Illidan on their first raid night. Well, for whatever reason, one of the people in that guild wanted to sell the raid ID to us, so we could just go in and kill Illidam and be done for the week. Everyone was cool with it, except for me. I didn't like that and thought it was pretty damn unsportsmanlike. I expressed my concerns and ended up getting kicked out of the guild over it. My friends stopped talking to me shortly after. Ended up leaving all that behind and transferred servers. Sucked.

My darkest day in world of warcraft is when preach taught the world how to make the abomination that is microwaved scrambled eggs.

[@Trai1b1aze]

Loved these stories. First few made me realise how lucky/good my guild was back in the MC/BWL days of Vanilla.

[@SteelfurSpeaks]

I think my darkest day was when I finally came back to my Vanilla through to Cata guild and everyone was finally gone. People had been dropping off every expansion, taking breaks and coming, but a few would come back and the people would follow them and we had a good time. But Cata was the point when no one came back, people moved on from WoW and from friends they made in WoW. I kinda just looked around and the game wasn't what I had come back for. Cata didn't hold me long, and I played solo for a while. In Legion I found new people to play with though and had the best expansion I had ever had.

[@Terrados1337]

"Sorry I couldn't find taunt in my spellbook" - Teachings of our second tank at the time, leader of team 2. I died twice during the last pull because adds attacked healers and he was "out of range". So I sacrificed myself for the greater good, only to find this monster was an actual keyboard turning clicker, who didn't use taunt, because "it is too niche". It made me take a break from WoW for two weeks, returned when he left the guild. It left a scar on my mind: Every tank is immediately stigmatized as moron who couldn't find their own arse in the dark with a flashlight and a map. I am sorry to all tanks, but in my mind you are bumbling idiots who love getting spanked and laugh at joke explainations.

[@belisarian6429]

Reminds me of hunter in TBC who did not have Misdirection because it was "too expensive". We had a good laugh, gave him some gold and sent him to trainer, things like these were main reason why I preferred more mid range "social" guilds than hardcore progression guilds (even tho every time I play I eventually rise up to the top guilds on server), those guilds are much more resistant to anger and frustration over bad play as they dont care. But of course cannot judge your situation, just noting how two kind of similar situations can have different results.

[@Trashloot]

17:30 I was thinking so hard about the white marker on the priests mana bar and trying to figure out what it was. When i remembered that mana regneration startet when you hadn't casted for a few seconds i was happy and then confused xD. Do i miss monitoring this mechanic or am i glad that its gone? ^^

[@ShamanRage24]

The story about Majordomo feels like my guilds first kill on Paragons of the Klaxxi, at least partially. Long night of prog, planning, killing. Got to Paragons with basically one pulls worth of time left. We do a silly pull to just see what we can learn, and we one shot it. Absolutely blown away. Last night of the week was all Garrosh prog. Fast forward to the following week, we couldn’t kill Paragons at all. Only went for two weeks though, got it back down on the third and got Garrosh soon after, no one left. But it’s funny how those one off accidental kills turn into nightmares the week after.

[@Magnishen]

when i "raided" in tbc (if you can call it that. i was 13 and ret paladin and had no idea how to do anything, i was brought in mostly out of pity on bosses others wanted to sit on), i was the punishment player for when people kept fucking up the teron gorefiend ghost game. i may not have known how to be a ret paladin but i could be a teron gorefiend ghost better than anyone else in the guild. so if the raid wiped due to a smoothbrain messing up the ghost, i was brought in to replace them as a way to shame them.

we had a shadow priest in our guild for Firelands Rag that didn't know that you could attack the meteors on the last phase. we had rag on farm at the time. also he didn't know what dispersion did. good times.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

My KCL was a guild named Thorns of Serenity on US-Uther. I still remember clearly and have fond memories of so many players that were in that guild. From Twinbeard, the orc hunter (who gave me the gold to buy my first mount since I was poor as hell as a complete mmo n00b), Trucmachin the troll priest (who would send me gadgets and gizmos all the time he made with engineering, free of charge!), and BiigTuuna, the tauren warrior guild leader, who welcomed me in, and then several weeks later gave me a green shield, and literally talked me - ability-by-ability - through tanking bosses as a 58 orc warrior (it took me FOREVER to reach level cap XD ) in MC. Because they were short a tank, and BiigTuuna had too much pride to pug one, I feel in love with raiding that night and have since become a Mythic early-clear raider tier and tier again. Cheers, ToS, you were the best guild a wow n00b could ever have asked for.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

Postscript - ToS would eventually disband after most of the core players quit near the end of The Burning Crusade, when the server expansions created the Area 52 realm and free transfers from Uther to there caused a lot of players to jump ship. Organized guild activities (including raiding) were a thing of the past by the time WotLK officially launched and by the end of WotLK, the guild name was even abandoned. Seeing a big part of the game that I loved fall apart (and due to IRL conflicts at the time) caused me to quit WoW a month into WotLK, never even having attained level 80. To this day, it's one of my biggest regrets, but I couldn't imagine playing this game without the people I'd spent so much time with exploring Azeroth. Years later I would come back to WoW when an IRL friend who also played brought me onboard the Cataclysm hype-train. I would re-found Thorns of Serenity on Uther in patch 4.1, even recruiting some of the OGs that were still stubbornly hanging out on that now-backwater server and lead the guild to several more (Heroic! ...10-man, but still - Heroic!) victories over the course of Cataclysm. Not bad for someone who was still very green to a LOT of concepts when coming back during the Cata pre-patch! Being a 10-man Heroic guild, some members couldn't keep pace with what was required to raid at the time and would leave, leading us to merge with another guild in the first tier of MoP. However, to this day, I have not been able to let go of the guild name, and still hold onto it with one of my many alts. RIP.

[@Cyanoblades]

How do these guys remember all this shit from Vanilla? It's all a blur to me.

[@albinjarnroth1065]

I remember the shit in vanilla better than TBC, WotLK or Cata (Didn't really play after that, but I still follow the "scene" on and off)... I guess it was being the impressionable age? I was about 15½ when vanilla released on EU, and even if I had experience in DAoC before that, it was a rather refreshing experience to begin with, but became much more of a chore throughout the expansions.

[@sunabubus]

11:27 It was patch 3.2 (Call of the Crusade, so later than Ulduar) when the 2 hour BoP trading window was introduced. Before that, Raid leaders, master looters had to ticket every signle item they "misdelivered". I wonder how that guy wanted to sell or rather trade you the ring...

[@craynak]

The name Erebus was an immediate red flag from my Warhammer 40k days hahahah!

[@chrdestr]

Gokufan was probably drinking every raid night

[@DagothUrWelcomesYou]

For me it was a desperate night trying to farm LFR in MoP for my legendary cloak. Doing General Nazgrim. In LFR. If anyone remembers that then hoo boy. Trying to get an entire group in LFR to stop attacking Nazgrim when he went into defensive stance. I must've been on that fight for an hour at least.

[@Brett1692]

I remember a story you told about tanking illidan, wasnt that the guild where you blew eveyones mind with your tanking strat? Something you thought was obvious, but had never occured to them as an idea

[@psihopats666]

Editing was top notch

[@calebbugai2729]

That first story tells me you would have hated me in Battle of Dazar'alor; back when I was progressing that raid on heroic, we came to Mekkatorque. I knew the fight, I knew the mechanics, I just had to experience every part of it to become fully confident I could perform in it, and so I eagerly awaited my turn to get shrunk and hop in a robot. But when I did...I couldn't tell the colors apart. Being slightly color blind, I couldn't tell the blue from purple, or the green from yellow, so I started calling out the symbols instead; "Chicken! Rocket! Wrench!" The raid got confused, and we eventually wiped. I was so flustered and ashamed that I left the raid early, but later on I was with them to finally defeat Jaina and get AoTC, so it all worked out.

Had an offer to join Method during ICC on my Paladin. I was always afraid that id not have the time to put into it (Even tho I was in a top 20 Guild that raided 6 days a week xD) I was more fearful of the future and not being there as much as in the previous years. Was always cheering on Method, tho to be fair after hearing of the problems during Ulduar I am kind of happy I passed on the chance. Would have really pissed and bummed me out at the same time, on top getting called trial not as a joke but for real by a most likely McDonald's worker would have triggered me xD

Teron Gorefiend was made worse by the fact that all those who failed the ghost were the same players who kept telling everyone "yoU SHoUD'vE plAYeD iN VAnilLA, EveRYThiNg wAS HaRd AS FuCKC, yOU woULd'nt laST A seCOnd!!!". I've used Teron Gorefiend as an example of how bad players were back in the day. 15 years later classic drops and proves my point and I finally get to tell my old comrades "see, you just sucked back then, just like I told you. Thanks for wasting my school nights you fucking twat".

[@zubrhero5270]

At the start of BfA, me and the guild (consisting of my brother, my girlfriend, some real life friends and good people we met along the way) were kinda progressing on nicely from the back end of Legion. We were progressing through the various difficulties in Ulduar quite easily, and we got to G'huun. OK, what's the tactics? Well, you have to kill the spores and pass a ball between characters, if you hold it too long you get stuck. OK, sounds simple enough. My mate on discord "I've heard online...", oh God, where's this going... "... that warriors can solo run the ball all the way to the end. You need a warlock portal, a heroic leap and then a charge to the right spore. Easy." Guess who the warrior is? Yup, me. "Alright guys, this is my first time, let me have a look online at exactly what I need to do, OK?" Couple of audible grumbles. A minute or so later, everyone's getting impatient and giving it the /sleep emotes and /say "ready?" "gogogogogo" etc. OK, I'm ready. Good. Nailed it first time, felt like a fucking boss. Couple of wipes, everyone's learning the fight still. I'm so confident, I'm all over the place. My side, done, bosh. Other side struggling, no probs, I've got this, bosh, done. We smash it. We go on to do this successfully on subsequent tries, all the difficulties. _I go on to do this_ successfully every time. And then one day... the exact same thing I'd been doing for weeks, the exact same thing I'd come to learn like muscle memory EVERY time just stopped working. I helplessly shouted out on discord "... I'm stuck!" We didn't have a back up plan, this hadn't happened before. Reset it/Wipe it. "Sorry guys, I must have fucked up. No worries I've got it". Tried again. Got stuck again. "It's no probs dude, shit happens... no pressure, it's all good" they're all telling me to make me feel a bit better, but ya know, this is twice now, I'm starting to feel a bit hot under the collar. Give it another go with no backup. Exact same fucking thing happens... Grab the ball. Check. Click portal. Check. Walk forward a split second to get best angle on heroic leap. Check. Charge to spore. Che... eh? Fucking. Again. I'd changed literally nothing from the first 10 or so successful one-shot attempts. But it was almost as if they patched it, one week it just stopped working. It was the charge, it just kept landing me on the wrong side of my target and putting me MILLIMETRES out of range to click the objective. I got super fucking annoyed about it, I was giving it all the "why did you guys have to rely on me? I fucking suck. Can't even do my one job..." oh woe is me shit over headset. It was like I was 10-0 up at half-time, and by the end of the match I'd lost 10-11. We worked out a new tactic because I completely fucking baby'd out of my role. Spat my dummy out, I don't wanna do it, wahhhhh. It was easy enough sending other people and we had no problem. But the worst part is... you've got 19 non-warriors in the raid, _actual_ mates of mine like I said above, all giving you the fucking "I just looked up the tactic... did you do blah blah blah?" and the "...looks easy to me..." comments. Oh and the best ones? "Yea, I was watching you on my screen... I _think_ I know why it went wrong" and "should I bring _my_ warrior?" Cheeky bastards. Anyways, the next raid I gave it another go and it worked again. I changed nothing, it all just depended on where the game decided it wanted me to land on the charge. A couple of millimetres wrong and it was a scuffed solo run. The timing was so tight. It's not the worst thing that's ever happened, but, it fucking sucks when you go from being able to do something first time, every time... and then it stops working. It stressed me out a lot having so many people rely on me, and if I'm truly honest... it didn't knock my confidence, but I stopped volunteering for shit. I'm one of those now that just keeps silent until somebody else steps up.

Wearing down the worst moments of WoW to just 5 is probably the hardest thing imaginable because there's so many. On the flipside, lifting up the best moments in WoW to just 5 is also just as equally as hard.

My top worst time in WoW was realizing I was being used to get too Mythic Archimonde in HFC on warlock. I literally used all three specs every Tuesday throughout the raid and I couldn't figure out the Havoc gimmick on the orbs. By the time I did figure it out my guild already had the rogues use the overpowered trinket to deal with the Orbs. I also hated the strategy we were using on Archimonde at the time and voiced my opinion often. We were using the lust on pull strategy which usually required less healers and while it helped to avoid the annoying phase 2 mechanics it made the Nether realm phase very hard to learn the fight and left zero room for error. It still took them 200+ attempts to down it and in the end I was never taken for a kill nor was told that I wasn't going to taken. I was forced to buy a run/mount as I knew I wouldn't have a chance at it. I had solid DPS and mechanic execution on EVERY other fight except for the last one.

[@Raubk0pierer]

What's the addon that shows the raid targets on screen like that at 05:03 of the video?

[@vteccomplex]

ElvUI probably.

[@dragonsoldier200]

Vehicle fights.... reminds me that time i had to pilot the socrethar mech... as a warlock because our tanks couldnt figure it out...

[@Rogmash]

hey i remember the flower thing - it was a fight i just tanked with war for a progress guild - they knew i will just keep the flowers of the raid without telling me something about it ;D - and so i did - never did alot pve in wow ;D

[@dadscapes1125]

"I fat fingered it" We had an ele shaman in my old guild who would fat finger bloodlust at the most random times, usually between trash packs. Was funny for us as we were a casual raid guild but i totally get the frustration

[@leedeehan]

The no2 story resonates with me, 2 years of running onyxia in classic and never win the sinew for rokdelar, two weeks ago I run it, I’m the only hunter, then a dps spot opens up and what do you know a second Hunter joins. Sinew drops and of course he wins it. Then he proceeds to try and sell it to me as he can’t be bothered doing the rest of the quest. I will never do onyxia again.

Timestamps for all 5 using the new video chapter YT feature would have been cool

[@alewis514]

Oh the vehicle fights. Amber Shaper Un'sok in HOF is a prime example of UTTERLY HATED boss because of this. Not only a vehicle fight, but the vehicle assigns a RANDOM dude to do it. Oh my, you can't just keep THAT GUY out of the picture. On some pulls THAT GUY will be put behind the wheel of the vehicle and will fail miserably time after time. So at this point, your progression is just...hoping that THAT GUY won't be targeted by the vehicle mechanic. Because that is going to turn a possible kill into a sure wipe. And yes, this happens with top of the line, 99th percentile parse players. Having his hotbar change into 3 button UI is too hard to handle. On one night this fight bugged out and our tank was able to solo the boss from 60% health remaining. His golem was invincible for some reason. What a trainwerck boss that was.

Hair mate, Look pog

[@BatteryExhausted]

Asmongold would give up his ARMY shirt for a comment like that.

[@wuztron]

So many great/horrible memories flashed as I watched this video. They were the best of times, they were the worst of times.

[@170skeith]

I've had the same guild over various games from WoW TBC-dragonflight"we played other games during BFA and Shadowlands, Final fantasy 11, and 14, destiny 1 and 2 up to lightfall we quit playing after beating the base campaign of lightfall. Now we play more table top games like Warhammer. It's gotta suck to invest in so many guilds and see them fall apart

[@varileztradragonsong4603]

Top 5 worst moments in WoW: everything past MoP

[@warhammerguy]

At first I thought the EXP potion situation would be on the list. But all things considered it was kinda a good thing since Preach didn't have to play BFA for a month and got to play games he enjoyed instead on stream.

[@Nidix]

dammit Preach, you just made me angry at old raiding friends over Malygos

[@Finicky9]

Preach's villian origin story of the NINE killer begins

[@erueru2014]

From launch of BfA and until now, is that one moment or multible moments?

[@SirRagnark]

The leviathan fight my guild at the time crushed and I had no idea about the dot hah.

[@raphael2407]

"it's on cooldown ... I fatfingered it".. haha gold xD

[@russodoni5331]

In fairness, there was a known bug on Gorefiend with the ghost buttons not showing up for some people that didn't get patched for ages.

[@marvinbrck1292]

9:28 - Didnt know that Maximus was playing during that time

[@Azg105]

Top 5 worst bosses. Preach is really entertaining when he remembers the pain.

[@MultiAsdag]

I remember our guild on flame leviathan. It was a DAMN mess. They stuffed it up and it was a dog's breakfast everytime.

[@Trizzelnova]

Gorefiend Flashbacks. Thx. Now the PTSD is back.

[@Zachsophone]

That Gokufan story was hilarious, we've all had a Gokufan in our group, xD.
