The MYSTERY of Who REALLY Beat Lady Vashj - The Legacy of WoW

[@Preachgaming]

What do you all think? Deliberate exploit of a game mechanic, or accidental bug? Let us know. Once again huge thanks to all of the folks out there for helping us with the research on this. Big love to Sco from Method, Cloze and Starym from Nihilum and many others who chose not to be named. A shame we couldn't speak to Lewt himself about this so if anyone knows him or if you watch it. Please do get in touch.

[@sebastianbergstl4423]

now do muru kills, the second one somehow isnt registered as world second. by numen silvermoon eu, 15 mins after sk gaming. search the video, i think theres two

[@theossy]

I think… this is fucking solid content Preach

[@Murks33]

Using the modern post-squish tooltips of level 70 items being level 27 with minimal stats lacks that ooomph of a good item, would be cool to grab the more accurate ones off of the classic wowhead database instead.

[@rvrside10291]

Great video once again. But OMG, I can't believe you put in a Wirtual reference! xD

[@TheChunkeyNinja]

@@Murks33 Yep that was my bad. Was on a tight timeframe so was just missed during the edit.

[@john77941]

Dude, you found a great series to make. These are so interesting and I love the Unsolved Mysteries vibe!

[@TheMMObro]

Found? :p This is actually an old series be used to do!! They're awesome!!

[@avelinamizone6653]

Mate this aint new this one of the oldest series he has

[@bhaines2209]

When the lore and game has gotten so bad, you have to repost old content about 20 year old lore 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeymikeshooms3581]

Best type of content

[@nfc14g]

Yes haha that vibe nails it

[@slo6990]

The opening "holla ballas" completely deadpan was perfect, you're on fire Preach

[@RunicSoulEater]

Preach is so GOOD at telling stories, he should think about doing it more often.

[@OldGorilla]

He is, but he sure isn't a model you want to use for selling T-shirts.

[@jaymzOG]

I mean he does it every friday for Drama Time lol.

[@Tekkommo]

Is this sarcasm? 🤣 It's literally what he does lol

[@MT-so2mk]

Sometimes I wonder if he'd make a good DM in DnD

[@Dudeidunno]

Imagine you're in that situation; a boss that nobody in the world has killed. It's on 1hp, you realize you have a soulstone and the ability to instantly do damage. How many of us wouldn't take that shot, either out of pure selfishness or solely because it'd be kinda funny if it worked It's so relatable, and that makes me think it's true.

[@andrewcrawford8306]

You have no idea how happy it makes me to see you doing Legacy content again. Still rewatch Legacy of Wrath and TBC to this day. With Cata coming maybe we finally get Legacy of Cataclysm?

[@wiselaex1234]

10:20 glad to see you like wirtual and trackmaina would love to see you play it some time

[@seifyk]

The Wirtual tribute was wonderful.

[@ahm6990]

this!

[@tunnagan]

That got a laugh out of me as soon as I heard the music coming in lol

[@gasgano8255]

I did NOT see that coming! Greatly done

[@Direbeetus]

3:51 It hurts my soul to see what mallet of the tides has become

[@GSol17]

Really should've just used the wowhead TBC tooltip. Ah well.

[@Kemyo0]

Why does it hurt your soul 😮

[@tracidvoyager]

@@Kemyo0 1.9 dps, less than a level 2 gray weapon lol. wack ass modern itemization

[@notNajimi]

@@Kemyo0 stat squishes made its stats really bad in the modern game compared to its original incarnation

[@tomp1923]

thanks preachy! we love this content and hope you've been well

[@georgezachos7322]

I don't even play wow anymore, but i enjoy these immensely. You're a good storyteller Preach. 😊

[@TWW--AP]

I love the new direction of these vids. You’re a great storyteller for all these tales

[@GoddessPallasAthena]

Only the second of this (so far) short series and loving it. With MMOs, so much is about social structures and relationships, and when you have organizations full of egos, and pile stress and burnout on top of it, competitive "win at all costs" mentality, you're bound to get interesting stuff. I remember hearing about a lot of the guilds and various controversies, but I didn't know about THIS part of the history. I hope you continue to make more as it's really compelling stuff!!

[@notNajimi]

The community is the beauty but also the critical flaw of wow and all MMOs

[@shadowdragon8168]

God, these videos are so freaking good! Please keep it going Preach, I can't wait for the next one!

[@ericzman]

This content is awesome. Having posted on the EJ forums countless times in that era and being one of the guilds that killed KT shortly after it was "killable", this series hits all the feels. Keep it up, good sir!

[@Pyrion93]

Really looking forward to the next part of this series. You and the team is doing an amazing job with this!

[@ZapatosVibes]

As someone who was just in a more relaxed semi progression guild at the time, it was so fun to follow along the mystery and mystique of those high end boss you'd hear whispers about... and so cool to hear those in-depth stories from you today. Loving this series!

[@demiraichan]

Love this and the unsolved mysteries music intro. Can't wait for more

[@PoutineItalienne]

I was about to turn 17 when TBC came out. The memories... My god, I'm old...

[@andresfonseca3265]

Hello Preach, this series is genuinely amazing. I got into WoW in 2019 with Naxx during Classic and have always been so intrigued by the stories behind all the World Firsts. I was 6 years old when all of this happened so def missed out

[@Matwho]

As someone who took that time way too seriously it still scars me and I'm actually embarrassed lol.

[@OldGorilla]

Just waiting for the Paragon episode, although there's no confusion whether they were the best at the taime. These have been awesome Preach, keep it up!

[@Spazxx]

Preach! This series is amazing. Please keep making them. I love reliving these events by watching these videos.

[@Meffistoe]

A long time coming. thank you Mike, I think I heard you talk about this story (before the new info) at least 7 or 8 times before

[@psychoticpulse4831]

I LOVE these videos. Thanks so much for the time and effort in getting these done.

[@gstwo6571]

Love these vids. I remember these days but seeing your meticulous research and story telling makes it just so enjoyable. Keep at it brother!

[@Thromash]

Great series mate, hope you keep doing it & it's productive for your channel. Looking good mate.

[@velocirapturedinosir8164]

I love these videos about the history of World firsts

[@jiggitydazzle84]

Mike my dude, I love how your able to put together a new concept and freaking nail it.

[@Furtivexx]

4:50 so nostalgic seeing some of the names here again. Death Wish guild. I love these, keep it up Preach!

[@jordansweet7738]

These are so awesome, thank you for sharing the stories before they were forgotten!

[@popojaga7312]

Love these! Thanks Preach and team!

[@Kiwicrack]

my dude, is this the new Legacy vids? I am loving this Mystery series.

[@nickv3085]

Before I had watched any YT content at all really, I found your legacy videos. I hadn’t played wow since I was a kid, and listening to your legacy videos was truly an amazing journey into my past. Thanks for doing more of them!

[@ColinBarnfield]

Loving that you are getting back into Legacy videos, and an amazing set of topics with the history of World Firsts

[@jszfver]

I always find myself coming back to the legacy videos. Some of the best wow content available. Please... PLEASE update the older ones and continue making new videos.

[@ClawPhD]

LOVE this style, please keep them coming Preach!

[@Aureora]

Your "Legacy of the Burning Crusade" video is still one of my favourites! ❤

[@Koroar]

Excellent job again mate, really enjoy these :)

[@Nightstalker314]

That was a weird competition indeed. Talked about this a long time ago with another veteran of WoW. Learned a lot back then.

[@Clownshock_]

This is Amazing! so hyped for this series!, Keep up the godlike work!

[@skeliskull]

So awesome to see high quality history vids like this coming back. Best wow content creator on the platform easily

[@Kdrman345]

I do love this series. The history of the world first race has always been so interesting for me so getting the behind the scenes stuff is great

[@Wheeljack678]

Like the first one, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this. Very interesting and very well put together.

[@jjd-lx5vr]

Love the new series. Not sure if its on the schedule but would love a Legacy of the Druid

[@Alex-oc2vi]

These legacy videos are awesome. I got some catching up to do!

[@Brackers1989]

These videos are great! Love the format and idea!

[@drood7835]

These are so great, been a lonng time follower since before MOP and im so glad your doing these style of legacy videos again. Can;t wait to see more.

[@SuperSumalu]

I'm very excited to see what else this series has to offer!

[@matt_r.2510]

This was pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind more stories/content like this.

[@williamgillespieiii2600]

I remember banging my head against a wall with Vashj for months back in the day. SSC was where our guild trimmed the fat, too, as it were. What a nightmare, and it was for like the 1200th kill in the world, too. It had been nerfed to oblivion, and it was still a headache. It was a really good litmus test for who was bad at the game and following directions though. That's the only real positive I remember other than the relief when we finally killed her, and I cursed her so bad my mom wanted to throw hands. Good times. Good video Preach

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

Of course by the time I ran SSC and TK, BT was out already so the fights were nerfed to a working state, but I remember actually really liking the Kael fight, but hating the Vashj fight, which a lot of people said were similar (I can at least understand why, since both are a bit hectic, at least in those days). I can't imagine how miserable it must have been to be doing them bugged.

[@williamgillespieiii2600]

@DrewPicklesTheDark honestly I loved it. Especially the clockwork system we worked out for kiting the stupid tank and mage during phase 1 Kael. Shit was wild. Im pretty sure the tanks had to juggle the shield around. Those were the days. We managed to get Server Kael first and there was a huge celebration in Shattrath for us. I found that fight a lot more enjoyable than Vashj cause most of the kinks had been worked through while we were attempting it. Like it wasn't uncommon for the phase 1 tank to just one shot melee for seemingly no reason. Nostalgia is fun. Hyjal and BT felt like a breeze by comparison. But, like preach said, the guild fat had been trimmed by then.

[@mattvitalis789]

Great video. These are very enjoyable to watch and you don't get much wow content like this anymore.

[@kalibos]

A Twilight Zone intro with the Dark Portal as the door would be awesome

[@thetallgrass]

Preach is BiS. This man and his team deserve a whole major network television show

[@Icewolf2oo3]

Unsolved Mysteries theme brings back so many memories, this is definitely a series that needs to continue.

[@despahotaru]

These series are so amazing. Keep it up!

[@autisticrobotdragon17]

Idk if you will see this Preachbut I love this new series, it just fills me with nostalgia and the stories are really interesting. I also really appreciate the unsolved mysteries intro (chefs kiss) ☺️

[@Jason-ji8ql]

Cant wait for the next episode of this series, its great!

[@andresvaldevit3692]

Duuuude a Legacy video, been a long time! …and Mike you looking fit AF! Gratz!

[@hasuwary]

Insane that you traveled all the way to outland to film this masterpiece!

[@davidl4312]

This video is so good...love the creativity behind it

[@Papaneeks]

16:44 LOL! I love that Mike just had to take that moment to flip them off for that.

[@scottballentine1846]

Love this idea. I love this format for you.

[@mahatmaandi2347]

Such a good format! Love it.

[@EdisX]

This series getting better by each episode. Maybe do episode about first corrupted blood plegue , will be awesome a full cover of the most iconic wow bug ever

[@shirox11]

Even as someone who hasn’t really played WoW for years videos like this interest the hell out of me.

[@stevewalker6340]

Amazing video Peach!

[@Babaganoosh69]

Another excellent video with great storytelling!

[@Davivd2]

I love this bit of gaming history. Great to hear this because I had no idea that this went on. Both of my times playing TBC were my favorite times playing WoW. Gone, never able to be experienced again.

[@atheld8124]

Oh my god this brings me back to the old days of your wow content videos! I miss those too 10s

[@TooMuchTuna7]

Love these videos man! Keep it up

[@MysticLlamaMan]

Man videos like this really make me want to get back into WoW.

[@chrisnutter]

That low key 'Holla bollas' right at the top had me 😂

[@voss3ygaming]

My only complaint is that I wish these were longer. Also, the unsolved mysteries theme unlocked some kinda memory for me, lol

[@SubstantialSubstance]

Man. I miss WoW so gosh darn much. Particularly BC. But, im in my mid 30s now, children, demanding career. You cant really ever get that feeling back; better to let those memories stay memories, rather than chasing the impossible. Occasionally taking nostalgia trip with my boy Preach, cheers

[@joelmartens8315]

Another great legacy video. Cheers, Preach gang!

[@whirl2418]

I've never even played WoW, but Preach is so good at storytelling that both videos like this and Drama time make me genuinely interested in this game, like, incredible job my good sir! 👏

[@daveopsnl]

Love this, even though I am not playing WoW anymore, it brings back great memories reliving these moments!

[@Spartan2Orion]

These videos are AWESOME! please keep it up :)

[@Loke5936]

Greate video! Tho you should change the collor on the wall behind your couch :p

[@Spectre1Gaming]

Great video preach can't wait to see the rest of the TBC Raids. I think overall if it's a bug the fault lies with Blizzard they should have fixed it when it was first reported.

[@38dedo]

I love these videos more than anything, and i am so happy to see your make more legacy style videos. however i miss just as much your spec guides and your TDP mythic+ videos that i would watch and learn from. you may have left wow but we didnt, and its not the same without you. so you selling dragonflight shirts and making legacy videos lights at least a small glimmer of hope.

[@Lexawaxel]

Love these!

[@KiwiDimi]

SSC was my first raid in WOW, I was all heroic-blue geared, wiped all night on Lurker Below, but it was great memories

[@taylurjack]

Please make a million more of these oh my gosh.

[@connordeane508]

This is the best, keep making these vids please!

[@M8MANN]

Amazing series, keep it going!

[@customxphoto]

Please please please please do more of these!

[@rusty7448]

I LOVE this series. Fantastic content worth watching over and over and over again.

[@theatfshotmydog8224]

I love these stories keep ‘em coming!

[@Succath80]

Love these stories. keep at it Mike. doing great !!

[@wowsew]

this series is dope af preach loving it

[@tunnagan]

Another legacy video so soon? Let's go!

[@whitestrake9311]

Great video man

[@mittensfastpaw]

As a Horde guild that did Naxx and went into BC I remember the massive drama. Hell our guild used transfers to recruit and a big chunk left to form a guild called Plan B that failed. It was an extremely drama filled expansion and I don’t remotely miss it.

[@SH-fi8sn]

Really enjoyed this!

[@WisdomcubeWoW]

Loving this series or whatever it is. Great shit

[@endless_sora]

Loving this series

[@Aurongodx]

Awesome doc, did you attempt to reach out to Kungen for his take? I know he is all over the place these days but is occasionally still active in WoW.

[@sRxcss]

Please use the wowhead classic stats next time when you show items. Awesome video as always btw

[@brandonedwards-catt4488]

Being a long time player since TBC, even to this day I forget there is a divergent history of WoW between US and EU clients. For instance, early WoW players from Australia were forced to play on US servers before the split into the Oceanic realms that didn't have relative Oceanic latency until late Mists of Pandaria. 200-180ms was the considered average "good" ping for a very long time, some players even becoming used to 500ms and playing accordingly.

[@apolloeosphoros4345]

yep, that was me. 500ms was normal until like 2010 when for some reason i started getting 200
