SADDEST QUEST EVER? - Swifty Burning of Teldrassil Cutscene Reaction - BFA 8.0.1

[@jamesdiato]

6:00 That timing tho.... LMAO

[@Neal_YouTube]

OMG that for the horde

[@wasterick]

that was pretty dope

[@Skateobyou]

+James Diato yeah that was epic lmao wonder if the donator planned that

[@Smithy1er]

4:00 is pretty epic timing too! the bit donation

[@Moonarale]

James Diato *Yh but I hate Sylvanas for this.*

[@Shadovvz]

After that cutscene, I felt like I had just watched my childhood home burn down... 😭

[@ronibopshop]

You held up better than me. I was actually sobbing. Emotionally I have never recovered. 15 year Night Elf and I felt utterly helpless and gutted to this day.

[@pulseyy2467]

Swift has played this game for like 11 years and still doesnt know the lore omegalul

[@BraboPaul1]

I think i play it longer and i know litteraly completly nothing about the lore,i got only 1 lore.....every dead piece of alliance=win ✌️

[@upupleftdown2990]

yeah dude start with your parents , i heared they are humans!

[@juancarlosluque8964]

sad but true. i think he didn't play warcraft 3

[@Moonarale]

Pulseyy *I played it about 6 years and I still know more about the lore than he does.* 😂😂😂

[@Moonarale]

*I do Bgs too and arenas but also I am finding out about the lore because it is very nice stories and it took blizzard a lot of time to make those stories*

[@elebroa]

I like how swifty did not save a single citizen lmao. Edit: typo

[@izidor]

6:01 might be the best "for the horde" ever recorded.

[@Liofa73]

izidor --- or the shittest, breaking his immersion in the cut scene... Twats.

[@2yt4u.14.]

silvanas is no horde. she has no honor and was evil

[@MagnificentMelkior]

@@2yt4u.14. she was the true warchief. DEATH TO THE SCOURGE, AND DEATH TO THE LIVING!

[@2yt4u.14.]

@@MagnificentMelkior bruh your literally a simp. nobody cares

[@kontrabidakelvsz]

As a Tauren Druid, it pains me to see this...

[@MegaChickenfish]

* sits there on a mount in front of 10 darnassian citizens who are on fire * "I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET QUEST CREDIT?!"

[@Jonas_Fager]

There is a NPC that returns everything to its former looks. Don't remember the name of the NPC but she stands were the last quest ended in the forest before the change. You can change the look back and forth.

[@yesthisismyname1561]

Zidormi

[@BlackDeath1798]

And not a single soul was saved that day... you have to speak to the citizens to save them (>.

[@justine8398]

BlackDeath1798 LOL he thought putting out enough fires would save the tree and citizens.... funny.

[@margisama]

You had to talk to the citizens to save them. Also...you missed the cherry on top of the tragedy sundae by not staying to listen to the night elf priestesses choosing to stay to burn to death with the tree.

[@karahtar]

I JUST SAVED ASTAARI from the Maw in Shadowlands! It remembered her name when I saw her!

[@adamkmet8936]

When u realize that swifty doesnt kw to much about lore and u want him to tell the entire story

[@lorrieruff4402]

He can just watch a few of the Nobble videos, but your right, He's a bit of a Noob about the lore. Just wait till he moves on for the Horde side of the story.

[@-_-Raziel]

he doesnt know anything about wow. its very annoying to see him play a game for so many years.. and still dont know anything about it. not lore. not specs... not sure how he got to this point... i like the guy. i like his family. i watched him since wow classic.... i really do... but i feel bad about him not even knowing the game that made him the money to live. its very sad.

[@-_-Raziel]

it has happened since he started.. always forgetting specs. abilities... or even that he played specs before and saying he never played or saw anything about anything. its very weird. im worried for him. he might be sick or something. he always forgets or ignores?.. i dont know. :(

[@BRWednesday]

Alex Corv You don't need to know lore to enjoy the game

[@lorrieruff4402]

Alex Corv, Some folks just do not remember stuff, but his personality is addictive, Just can't help but love the guy, because he just has a fun side about him, and never seems to have a bad day. He is mostly about PVP not so much about raiding or quest lines and the story told. Was not till the last couple years did he really start getting into the lore. Just wait till he see "Old Soldier", you know he's going to be tearing up. Just forgive his ignorance, and enjoy who he is.

[@user-wn5ld9ny1i]

I felt the same way Swifty. I love Darnassus to watch it burn gutted me. Silly, but there it is.

[@juansantos-lq2kz]

Not silly at all.

[@matthewpick2342]

And that is why Swifty will never say "For the Horde!" ever again lmao

[@mar1yansk1]

Who cares?

[@matthewpick2342]

Those who are morally grey? (☭ ͜ʖ ☭)

[@mar1yansk1]

I doubt

[@matthewpick2342]

^_^ okay den

[@malterek]

i do, thought it was a nice comment.

[@texbc2000]

the genocide of darnassus is perhaps one of the worst moment in wow history

[@ToraxReborn]

James Mcgown lol no

[@Scottx125Productions]

Honestly I felt nothing when it was burning. Only objection I have is that it was unnecessary and dishonourable. I felt more emotion when Varian died.

[@ro2592]

Seeing nelfs cry makes me want to cry too :(

[@ghjh56]

Especially when your first ever character was a Night Elf, such wonderful memories of doing quests lost.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Eris Meredith no doubt that's what made Swifty cry, from his old videos his first character was a Nelf, so he obviously has sentimental ties to Teldrassil.

[@Thunder_God_Bane]

Right in the feels.... right in the feels.... For the ALLIANCE!!!!!

[@livinghound]

I'm a Worgen Druid, so Darnassus and Darkshore were like my home areas. I got so pissed about it.

[@shadowknighthunter1390]

Me who is a Horde main: I see this as an absolute win but for real, its messed up to see those villagers burn

[@afewxhitposting]

There's no honor in this... #NotMyWarchief

[@Moonarale]

*Btw If I aint wrong the hippogryph should be avalible from farondis chest*

[@porizka1790]

The roots will grow again, hope never dies

[@Trikiran]

Problem with all mmo players these days, not only did he not read any of the quests, he had no sound, and left and ported out before he could see or hear any of the story content.

[@yiledute]

wo...I think this is the first time I saw a wow player that didn't know the origin of Sylvanas...it's kinda amusing

[@FellSlasher]

yiledute Sylvanas fan forever

[@Moonarale]

*For The Alliance!*

[@TalLeyKAL]

I hope that the saying "When a life's end, a new one emerge" is true for teldrasil, i mean its happen in mount hyjal right?

[@mynameismom1]

Swifty...Sylvanas burned down the whole damned tree that was the home of the night elves. So their main city Darnassus, their entire racial starting zone, and the secondary level 5 - 15 questing area.

[@paladin250892]

There's no shame in crying about this Swifty *pats*

[@JeroenO129]

So, "For the Horde" and "For the Alliance" achievs are now unobtainable....?

[@psylocke2001]

the timing on that "FOR THE HORDE"

[@luapahcor5039]

Sylvanas is forsaken, she has NO allegiance to the Horde and in fact will try to destroy them both, don't forget the wrath gate when Grand Apothecary Putress, went to destroy both factions, Sylvanas was the one behind the scenes responsible for that event

[@YourSuzerain]

Elegance hhaahah ha hahahahaahahahahaha we forsaken are pretty elegant

[@luapahcor5039]

Umm he absolutely is forsaken watch the video, windrunner is also forsaken

[@Moonarale]

Luap Ahcor *True Forsaken are Faction its self*

[@lunaraurora8308]

Luap Ahcor you meant allegiance right?

[@wsol80]

If you did that quest as a Horde player you would know that Sylvanas led the assault to take back the Undercity. It was varimathras who was behind it and he fled after being defeated.

[@Bokaj01]

4:53 Is that Tyrande Whisperwind?

[@drudle]

His attempts to evacuate people kills me. "I put one fire out on the roof but the citizens are still surrounded by flames in the forty other spots in the building. Why aren't they escaping?"

[@aileenusmaximus]

I come here daily just to watch this timing masterpiece: 5:59

[@lifemetall]

interesting, at 1:00 alliance DCs you and at 6:00 for the horde perfect timing....is this a spoiler for bfa?

[@TheVoicz]

Wait... how did he not know how Sylvanas got turned by Arthas? He played WC 3.

[@upupleftdown2990]

lol - he probl. played it, when it came out.

[@Revens1]

meathead thats why :p

[@kae1839]

woah my brain...cant handle this

[@mikehenkelman2111]

I love watching Swifty see things like this for the first time...As a launch player I still feel the same way lol

[@lv4218]

The timing of the notification at the end of the cinematic is the best.

[@nurousek123]

Theramore, Teldrassil... Time to change factions

[@Jokar93]

Has Horde got to tough on you? :(

[@Ryan-yu5kt]

"boo hoo some of the opposing factions people got killed because they were in a war with us, what an atrocity"

[@coachbro757]

Welcome to the alliance

[@MrVlad12340]

Some few hundreds civillians got killed because Warchief threw a childish fit. Corrected your typo, no thanks needed.

[@YourSuzerain]

Good riddance,only the mightiest remain in the Horde

[@BelgianVISOINair]

me, as a horde, feel like im used to help sylvanas for cause she has a personal issue with darnassus. i feel so sorry for the alliance. i hope u guys can forgive me for acting like a horde, a puppet who will fight for freedom in a foreign world.

[@delilahmills7192]

Even though I am primarily alliance, I always admired and respected Sylvanas for her heroic life, her tragic death, her resurrection as cursed banshee and her fierce loyalty to the forsaken, but this I cannot condone, she is leading the horde down a dark path, and I am so very disappointed in her.

[@mmakotal4388]

She trying to free everyone from unfairness of life and death and remake the first one design to something better cuz shadowlands suckd, Sylv is my queen

[@mmakotal4388]

i gladly did this quest on all my ults as horde when this came out i was so happy when she was warchief kinda sad they kicked her out

[@DarkSandmaN666]

ahahha That "FOR THE HORDA" sub sound is perfect

[@breebrazel2920]

5:50 that timing omg

[@varennstime6785]

TOTALLY

[@jior6]

Dude, twitch chat, don't act like you didn't time those dono's up PERFECTLY for the cinematic.

[@kevin1233803]

It's rly sad to see mostly Alliance cities burning, but seeing Darnassus in flames makes me wanna quit World of Warcraft. Like why do they have to destroy the most beautiful area.

[@XtremePlayz01]

you can travel back in time at the broken shore to before the tree was set on fire, if that makes you feel any better

[@DrDrystal]

"Saddet Quest ever?" Guess you never burried a pandaren child then...that looked like Li Li...

[@SirBuljo]

one child vs failing to save a thousand people which are women, men AND children?

[@escanor8087]

6:00 you cannot tell me that does not fit so well

[@timothymiceli]

So in Shadowlands Elune says she sent the souls from the burning of the world tree to Ardenweald which means she either caused or allowed it but all the souls went to the Maw. Clearly Sylvanas is responsible for the tree burning though. How is Elune claiming to have played a role in this. Please help.

[@kira7683]

Realistically, you would have had a couple of hours if not days, until the fire had reached the city.

[@BXEmberz0109]

How much you guys wanna bet the night elves are gonna have an extreme city makeover. Like a whole new rebuilt Darnassus once Battle for Azeroth releases

[@J.P.G.]

I've been wondering for awhile but if Azurite is hardened titan blood and the titans are life bringers for the universe. Who's to say that Azurite can't bring the dead back to life. 🤔

[@amerdia7788]

swifty been playing the game for so long now, he always surprises me at how much he doesnt know his game yet.

[@Thorsten369]

Good Alliance are dead Alliance. I Support Lady Sylvanas since day one and will still support her. Good to see that the tree is burning. FOR THE HORDE!!!

[@kattbrewer6832]

For the Horde!

[@lmaowat3405]

This aged like milk 😂

[@jandeh90]

That feeling when you used to watch swifty back in TBC and he didnt know what he was doing. Like at all. Glad that hasnt changed a single bit.

[@justine8398]

That multi colored gryphon looked way better then the dark purple one.

[@Themajormistro]

That hurt to watch him literally not understand he had to talk to the people to rescue them...

[@ChicagoanEcon]

those savages are gonna pay for this #forthealliance

[@verts_tv]

How did losing majority of your army today go?

[@ChicagoanEcon]

verts_tv very well see you in undercity...oh wait

[@verts_tv]

Enjoy your captured city, oh wait.

[@Duryism]

Only one undead savage did this... But come! Throw yourself upon our swords if your grief is that unbearable.

[@4321hubel]

I am 100% horde but i hate sylvanas as warchief i prefer Saurfang

[@winnie8592]

I remember she was the little girl who's father got killed in the dead mine or dread mine dungeon, so how could this be?

[@noxx3096]

how didnt he know about sylvanas and her past ?

[@Toumhas]

You actually can get the mount. It's a rare drop from Farnodis cache that you get for 10 000 reputation after exalted

[@alexiasd.3980]

....it’s in the books how she came to be....... also wrath of the lich king mentions it. You also coulda just googled it.

[@Idkmanlemmeedit]

Swifty doesn't remember to right click shimmering objects.

[@GenericUsername-qp1ww]

the fact that ppl still defend Sylvanas after this is pathetic, oh wait I forgot its cuz "undead bewbs" I cant wait to see Sylvanas inevitably get killed for good and see all the whiny forum posts from butthurt virgins whining that their blue waifu is dead

[@kubakrol2158]

1 year late but sylvanas did this for a good reason. After all of the unprovoked attacks on the horde (even while in peace) by the alliance something had to be done.

[@vealzhgames8861]

Hey man, just wanted to say ive been watching you since you started doing your warrior vs other classes when you did something irl and explained all their abilities and how you where going to beat them. Ive been a big fan of you since years man. I dont play wow anymore but still love your content and always love to see your vids man! Hope everything is going great!

[@nunyabizness4926]

That for the Horde donation or whatever was at the absolute perfect time lol

[@shadowcelltheory-band-4925]

I have no shame in saying that it did make me tear up a tiny bit and it REPEATEDLY kicked me in the stomach (the burning of Darnasus that is).... Can't recall the last time a video game did that to me heh. Keep up the great work Swifty, love your work.

[@Rose-pc2vg]

his reaction lmao, thats the 'i know absolute minimal about lore but cool vid' face.

[@jojohan6906]

#NotMyWarchief! For the Alliance!

[@26Daisuke]

bad joke teller #FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!

[@tiger0869]

I felt the same way when I Sean the tree burning

[@phoenixrexx6571]

What does that error code at 1 07 mean because I've gotten it and I suspect it was a ddos from salty players.

[@fightingfaerie]

you didn't even stay and listen to Genn. you don't have to go through the portal right away.

[@Dtty99]

Swifty acts like it's hard to see that there are nightelves right there by him ...

[@TheLemonFizz]

Im confused, I get the event is over but I went to Teldrassil and Darnassus the other day. What point does the map change and it say ruins of Darnassus and all that? Or is it just like that event never happened? When I reach a certain part of the expansion will it change on the map?

[@JaLPrime]

OMG! He should have at least had a notion of Sylvanas from Warcrat III Lore.

[@mbashasyed]

That looks like a "Cloudwing Hippogryph", a possible drop from the Farondis Paragon chest

[@BioDestiny]

Swifty cry oh this is the best video!

[@ESPirits87]

Tyrande is coming for all of you Hordes in 8.1.

[@DivineForcesBro]

Good lord Swifty, I haven't played WoW in 3 years and you didn't know that how Sylvanas was turned into a banshee? lmao.

[@fransebek7255]

Didnt you play Warcraft 3 the rts game ?

[@Gnosis33]

Fran Šebek no

[@Kayne1b]

Don't worry Swifty, there's a bronze dragon on Darkshore that'll dephase it if you want to go back to old Darnassus. Take a flight path though, don't fly across: it's still a bit buggy I guess and there's a chance your fatigue bar won't go away ._.

[@mabe6210]

from the fertile ashes an even bigger tree will grow.

[@Sylphinator]

You let me down Swifty lol I was sure you would be our savior and put out all the fires!!!

[@danielstubbs2201]

sylvanas has been a banshee since the rts game warcraft before 2004 .but why is horde mercanery mode stll turned on in the underbelly at dalaran npc ? :( horde play as fake alliance in our random battlegrounds ;(

[@MarcusLeonard307]

Turned into a banshee with permanent teary eyeliner
