The Quest Item So Powerful It Could Crash Other Peoples Games - Unknown Side of WoW

[@tristanmontes6947]

man tried to sneak in the gunther arcanus

[@mariogallego5513]

lol

[@XochiCh]

I noticed, too.

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

Yeah he managed :)

[@WizardTrizzl]

Real world CC, just slow someones game to 10 fps or just crash their game entirely, amazing.

[@mercenaryforhire3453]

I'm playing with 20 fps most of the time on my potato pc, 10 fps is merely a setback

[@galgrim8672]

I used to play at 5 fps lmao

[@jeroenverschaeve3090]

10 FPS is perfectly playable actually, it's in the sub 5 territory where it gets sketchy, particularly in PvP :D I used to raid around 10 and got set back to 5 on pull

[@FecalMatador]

@@jeroenverschaeve3090 yeah wotlk was tough for me. Raiding amounted to a slideshow unless I stared at the floor

[@xgetxsickx]

Thinking to myself: wow so you could mock your shaman spell to make people think you used it How it went: allow me to alt F4

[@ValensBellator]

Just want to again say, as I do everytime, that I absolutely love this series. Thank you for making them! It’s so fun to sometimes be reminded of things that I haven’t thought of in like 15+ years lol

[@dogswifty7800]

Nice to see Gunther Arcanus again.

[@95DreadLord]

I loved that hunter tame challenge in warlords. When I was doing the fight someone else tried to help me. The NPC just used kill shot on the guy, killing him instantly and resuming fight between us like nothing happened.

[@Solus5048]

Too bad his sacrifice meant nothing if the NPC reset herself

[@DaedricPrinceOedon]

Thats pretty funny. Npc is like "not in my house!" *kill shot

[@PiratDunkelbart]

Totally missed out on that. Guess Ill know what I am doing when I log on next time with my hunter. :D

[@gabrielrochel2832]

dat bait in 2:57. Was like "Oh shit, here we go again" already haha. Luv you hiru, ty for the sweet content

[@generalgamer50]

Holy shit, hearing about the cata item made my experiences in PvP in that time make SO MUCH SENSE

[@christopherfortney2544]

LOL youre full of it i never saw it once. I literally no lifed in cata and never saw someone use it.

The expeditions in BFA would've been a prime time to have one of the random islands be Tel'Abim.

[@arky3000]

there was an island south of tarren mill i think that had a wizard on it and you had to work at the quests and puzzles to make it to the top (i think, it was a long time ago), this single area used to crash my pc all the time. i even had to have GM's move my character as i couldnt log in without a bluescreen and crash. eventually it caused my graphics card to die and i avoid that place to this day.

[@sleepypanda3694]

Man, the first time I wandered into the Dal sewers was by mistake. I got lost, couldn't get out, found the BM AH and was confused by how expensive the items were, then I got eaten by the shark. It did that glitch thing where it just popped up through the boards, one shot me, glitched back into the water, through the boards, back & forth a couple times before swimming off. When I finally released and ran back to my body someone had bought off the guards and I was flagged for pvp. It was a rough introduction, took me 2yrs to go back down there lol.

[@Rhapbus1]

hey man its cool to see you still going strong. i used to watch the hell out of your videos back in the legion era. Idk why you popped up today, havent played WoW in a long time but good to see you still doing your thing buddy

[@troodon1096]

Kind of surprised Tel'Abim didn't make an appearance in BFA, as that would have been the perfect time to either have it off the coast of Zandalar, or be one of the islands you visit on expeditions.

[@projectlifedog1459]

My mom always told me, 'The unknown side of wow videos are like box of chocolate: you never know what you will get.'

My favorite Easter egg is one of the ferry masters in Kul tiras is named Denzel Crocker like the teacher in fairly odd parents who is obsessed with fairies. Lol

[@ArcaneEther]

I happen to be playing WoW as I watched this and I just checked: Tel'Abim isn't on the Kalimdor map at the moment. Not that that means anything, entire continents tend to be randomly "discovered" on Azeroth from time to time.

[@generalgamer50]

Not just “discovered” but discovered with entire countries and competitive navies, making no reason they were hidden lmao

[@avenged2010]

I remember a similar thing to the thunder lizard tail, in MoP with an item called "Ruthers' harness" which summoned a yak. You could summon hundreds of yaks in the same manner, which also led to FPS drops and even dcs if you had a crap PC.

[@Intrspace]

That's kinda similar to Lunk sticking around when you set up the seesaw toy. Some guy spawned like 20 Lunks in Orgrimmar a few years ago

[@Mexican00b]

yes, here i am again... wanting my thrown weapon history video... great videos also, love you...r content!

[@MrLolguy93]

I remember that Green Wolf. Still have him in my stables

[@zerogrey3798]

I really enjoyed the Warrior weapon quest, the Whirlwind Blade I think it was. I got the axe version on my orc warrior. The class quests were cool to. Some of my most favorite quests were for my druid to get the early forms.

[@siracer420]

It’s been far too long since Gunther Arcanus made an appearance in one of your videos. Welcome back old friend!

[@cvanims]

Love this series! Can't believe I didn't notice the banana island!

[@bloodymortifying]

Everyone seems to get into the list, but for some of us.... "Ah, classic hiru, he did it again".

[@EdyGlockenspiel]

Most toys are not on the GCD/do not share a CD AND there are LOADS that are A: useable in combat, B: useable while moving, C: useable while in a raid instance, D: useable while in an arena. If you use an addon that extends macros (I use macro toolkit to give me 1056 characters per macro) you can macro all of the toys that fit the above qualifications. Doing this I have been able to cause other players to DC using my toy macro in both raids and pvp instances, and this was during legion.

[@Huemanish]

I was occasionally one of those pricks back in the day in Ironforge. You could do the same thing withe the old pet items putting four or more then rapidly summoning and dismissing has the same effect.

[@NnaRC]

It's cool to see these videos and see if I knew about the content in them or not. Ever since I started playing in vanilla I always loved doing glitches and finding hidden things. I have screenshots of weird symbols outside the walls of deepholme I never found the meaning of. Maybe I'll see info on those in a vid one day.

[@nemaele]

New allied race 2030: Tel'Abim Bananer (with a banana peel-style stun racial)

[@grafspe807]

Here is something you may be able to research but maybe not. During cata i just had a few lowbie alts on Horde side and one day I log into Org and some one had kited a NPC mob into town some how. This mob was one of the draginkin from Mount Hyjal in an area behind The Sanctuary of Malorne and was one where u need a dagger quest item to remove their armor or something before you can do damage to it. I dont remember the quest name. But any of us who would attack it would do no damage and the guards were spam spawning and charging right at it and doing no damage either. They guy who kited it to town called it his new pet and all these years later i still can not figure out how he got it to town as i thought all mobs reset after a certain distance and also i dont think in cata there was a land path to org from Hyjal. it was pretty crazy scene and i wish i had video or screen pics but alas not

[@EricDrinksWater]

Hilarious. Sounds like a fever dream.

[@sigma0443]

The banana civilization is more powerful than any evil forces we have encountered in WoW and their target ? People who have used them as a scale to literally everything!!! Ps: you're excluded from their wrath Hiru

[@ninjacom3]

Now we know who the jailer was working for all along.

[@thanquolrattenherz9665]

finally, my disdain for bananas has a reason

[@janeokeson-harlow4125]

Thank you for doing all of these they are great. I especially love the not-so-subtle touches by Flying Buttress (whom I learned of from you channel btw.) I've read all the Warcraft books he's done segments on & his versions are way more fun!!

[@hirumaredx]

Yeah Flying Buttress is a great editor, his videos are great too on his channel!

I remember doing the gear quests for warlocks in vanilla. The robe and then the staff which, at the time, was the only equippable scythe in the game.

[@adamanski9999]

What song is used right at 8:45? @hirumaredx remember hearing this on your talent tree video and been looking for it since.

[@hirumaredx]

"A Heart Made of Yarn - Franz Gordon"

[@adamanski9999]

@@hirumaredx while this song is really good also, it’s not quite the one I’m looking for. It’s also on the history of talent tree video at 1:17. Whatever it is I love it.

That lizard exploit was both genius and EVIL i love it XD

[@RadiantOnion]

Ayy got to see Gunther Arcanus again

[@trzyha123]

2:56 hmm who is this Gunther Arcanus? A video about him perhaps? I swear I have never sene him on ANY of your videos.

[@jeroenverschaeve3090]

It surprises me to no end how so many of his videos feature Gunther Arcanus :D Even if it is as an easter egg

[@cstevey]

Another really cool and unmentioned hunter encounter were the spirit beasts in Mists of Pandaria. The porcupines in the Jade Forest, Krasarang Wilds, and Kunlai Summit were some of the most fun taming mobs ive ever had. Each color of porcupine spirit beast had their own mechanics and tactics used to efficiently tame them. You had to lower their health to 30% before they were tameable so there was a fight phase before you were able to tame them. Unfortunately you also couldnt have your pet help bcus it had to be abandonded in order to tame it sub 30%. They all hit really hard and were incredibly difficult to tame at the time. Now its really easy to do so because you can just lower their health in a matter of seconds, drop a trap, and start the tame.

[@Saiku]

Is this a re-upload? For some reason I have a very vivid memory of hirumaredx talking about the Drowned Thunder Lizard quest before.

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

I remember the vanish bug well. Had to play around it, once you got used to it, it wasn't too terrible. Still annoying though.

[@arkfan5345]

For the class quests in classic. They was rushed on its release so didn't have time for developing long class quest. And by time they was done with bugs and content pushes. Burning crusade was in the horizon so took all their focus.

[@Leopoldshark]

Tel'abim is just a reference to the song Tally Me Banana but they went all in on the joke.

[@Solus5048]

The tel'abim Saitama would be a fun encounter

[@Signeddudu]

I love this series. Great work :).

[@gamingedition5165]

That’s why if they ever go to do a classic + they can easily just add all the scrap content they never finished due to other things would be great to see it all.

[@Rusteeze]

There was also the same bug as the thunder lizard tail with the Yak Rider Mount toy from Mists of Pandaria that would summon a single yak. But if you bound it to up & down scroll wheel and spam you could summon hundreds of yaks to run everywhere. Definitely crashed many players during peak MoP with multiple people doing it hahahaha

[@applnokr743]

My dude, I don't watch all of your videos (I don't play wow anymore), but your content is top quality every time. Thank you! (I also love your Yu-Gi-Oh content ftr)

[@Jandune]

i find it hilarious finding a food crate with tel abim bananas when it came up in the video

[@lief3414]

2:51 Weakness disgusts me. You can do a lot even with 0.5 fps.

[@jodyd3762]

the Cannonball from the BFA intro starter quests could be kept if you didn't finish the quest and be used infinitely as well as macrod into your ability's. Was super funny looked like a big AoE cannon ball splash going off. Had so many people messaging me asking wth was going on

224 days without Gunther Arcanus, but it was close

[@Acedia2369]

Favorite KZbin series out there 🥳

[@navilluscire2567]

8:31 It funny because that could've been the single best way to make all classes available to all playable races while STILL having each race have their own unique spin on each class. Heck I'd even have gone so far as to make *"racial/cultural specs"* for each player characters' race to choose from, like a *"bladmaster"* spec option for orc warriors or *"mountain kings"* for dwarf warriors, maybe with probably both being an *"advanced spec"(?)* for them to unlock in some immersive epic quest chain. We know each race and culture has their own unique takes on melee heavy fighters, spell casters and other things that don't neatly fit into the frankly boring, bland, not immersive and generic class specs they have, basically *"classes"* as they are presented in game don't really exist, there's no universal warrior archetype nor any other class save for the hero or lore named classes like deathknights or demon hunters. Even the term *"mage"* is pretty vague as virtually every arcane magic based casters are unique in their traditions and methodologies, heck most who mainly use arcane magic don't use it exclusively and will often dabble in or mix in other forms of magic such as light, shadiw, fel, even nature or spirit magic,thus creating unique lores of magic. This cultural sorcery and mysticism is prevalent in lore such as Kul'tiras' *"tidesages"* who while mechanically are very similar to the generic in-game shamans are actually practically speaking their own unique practices of magic, mostly based on arcane but interwoven with their religious beliefs and reverence for the seas and its mysteries if one must you can think of them as highly religious mages, that mix in spirit magic and communion with *home brewed arcane traditions.* But anyway that's just something of a little rant I've had before about classes and how they are structured in World of Warcraft and how I wish things were more creative and immersive!

Man that drowned tail was OP....wished the jailer used it to crash the system of death

[@codyray3344]

for the client crashing ability, that wasn't the first time players could do that. back in original TBC, there was actually a infamous 5 man arena team comprised of all druids whose main tactic was to have them all perform tranquility all at the same time, which would crash their opponents clients because most people had poop computers.

[@drd105]

Pretty sure I did a warrior class quest which gave a 2H sword that had the same appearance as the Endbringer, obtainable in TBC.

[@Youngbuck3888]

My guess is, if Tel'Abim Bananas are a thing in vendors all across the map, the guy stranded on the island is back and has made a business out of these bananas.

[@goon825]

Tel'Abim island and that person's diary is definitely an Easter egg to Tom Hanks movie Cast Away 😂

[@tanksin5726]

skymirror toy from mop could cause games to crash in legion also if you used it on someone using the herbing or alchemy thing that turned them into an immobile tree, the game couldnt handle it so itd dc people in the area.

[@Darkrocmon]

Can you do a video going over either specifically when DK's could cast plagues on anyone close enough even without LoS, being PvP flagged or even on your own faction. Or just in general a video of ways players were able to unintendedly kill each other

[@generalgamer50]

I think you’re talking about the plague from a raid/dungeon boss. People would get it and it wouldn’t go away if they hearthed, then spread it when they die. People took it to Org’s valley of strength and the rest is history. But I don’t think it had to do with DKs necessarily. If it did happen and I don’t know about it feel free to share!

[@Darkrocmon]

@@generalgamer50 nope sometime in either cata or mop you were able to use a macro to /cast the debuff plague instead of actually casting the spell. It had a super long range and wasn't blocked by LoS you could also use it on anyone as I remember it being used, and using it, in Org to kill fellow horde players. Another thing iirc is it didn't cost you any runes and some people abused that in raids as well. I can't remember how long it lasted I don't think more then a few days for a hotfix.

[@brandoncastellano1858]

Or how some warlocks could kill people after a duel.

[@TeamCGS2005]

Wait, Tel'Abim expansion? Am I missing something here?

[@chingizzhylkybayev8575]

Islands that large don't stay uninhabited in this climate zone. The writer of the diary was stranded on a small uninhabited island. Also, the fact that TAB is s super common food item implies trade, which implies settlement. Although the guy might have been crazy enough from the beginning to get "stranded" in a secluded bay right next to a busy port.

[@TardRepellent]

imagine if we had more race specific abilities and class weapons. what a shame they gave up on that to begin their money grabbing journey with TBC. also why start with Priest / Hunter? Rogue daggers or Shaman 2h weapons would have been cool options to work for.

[@brandoncastellano1858]

I mean shamans got a helmet and warriors got an axe. :)

[@TardRepellent]

@@brandoncastellano1858 well yeah every class had their own lower level quests for useful gear and every class had the sunken temple quest with it's own good rewards at 50 but Rhok'Delar and Anathema/Benediction are best in slot items until phase 6. the shaman helm isn't that great by comparison.

I used to do this to anyone who went above and beyond BMing me, with audio macros before they changed the API. I probably only did it 3 times, but I always had the biggest shit eating grin when someone thought they could camp my alt for an hour.

nobody mentions the old maraudon scepter in these vids. you could vendor it for 3g and reclaim it by talking to an npc, place a repair bot next to said npc and gold cap in a couple hours of just spam selling it.

[@vanguardpanda9858]

Whats the background music you play in this series?

[@Shiftry87]

4:50 That npc would be an amazing thing to have in something that the Proving Grounds did way back. That would make ppl actually learn to use most of there classes spells instead of just the once that are in your core rotation all the time. Dps dosent mean anything if your dead. 1 of the big differences betwinn a good pvp/raider is to adapt if something goes wrong. The proving grounds i think was an amazing feature they added way back. If u couldent get a silver score in that after running it a few times to figuer out what each mob did u eather dident care how the fight was designed or u trully sucked in adapting to things that were always the same. Once u figuered out what each mob did then getting a silver wasent really that hard. Getting gold was abit harder especially without Heroic Dungeon gear. They really should have kept that system.
