Over 5 years of progress has led to this moment - HCIM #86

[@grunclestan4750]

Gotta say, personally I'd like to see you continue on this account and go for some of those goals you described, but to be perfectly honest I'll watch almost any content you put out. I've loved this series, and am excited for whatever you choose to do going forward :)

[@seanh8546]

You took it very well man, it's crazy I just found you and caught up on the 40 hours of videos and the next two episodes it ends.

[@scottd5357]

I just started your series the other day, and it was so interesting to see you go through COVID and everything. I learned so much from your commentary, and I couldn’t do half the things you did as an ultimate iron man. You are a very skilled gamer. If you do another character, you could do an ultimate iron man. But I think you should just continue on this account. Regardless, do whatever makes you happy- as long as you’re enjoying yourself when gaming. Also we should see your face more because you’re a great looking guy! Cheers to you ultimate iron man. I hope to see more videos soon.

[@ninetwotwoseven]

I have been watching for a long time and although the death is bittersweet it is also just another facet of your adventure. Ultimately I hope you can make the choice that best suits your enjoyment of the game, whether it’s a new account or the freedom to do everything possible on this current one. The outro was incredibly nostalgic for me, and I want to thank you for inviting us on your journey with you.

[@jamesdavis1773]

As much as I love seeing harcore progression videos ultimately its the KZbinr that makes the content good.This was a great series, and all hardcores fall but as a fan who's invested in the progress personally I'd love to see this account grow, if you make a hardcore I'll surely watch that too, but I'm sure most people would love to see the series continue. Either way it's a notification bell for me

[@MizzouShane]

Glad to see you're still going, was sad when I saw the twitter post that you ripped a couple weeks ago or whenever that was

[@xburtoutdoorcleaning1896]

Good run Whizard enjoyed the series over the years thank you

[@DonYagamoth]

gg, thank you for playing :) My suggestion is - do something, that stimulates you, that feels like a breath of fresh air. Be that on a new account, or on this one. Try to investigate every tile and object in the game, starting from all the way in the west, going to the east. Make a character that can only walk on roads. Create a new hardcore iron, where you intentionally try to rush things that you're not confident in (Maybe do that as a part of a group hardcore iron, where you play all people yourself, and you have 5 lives instead of 1). Make an account where you can only do all the "Easy" things, until they are all done. And then you can only do all the "Medium" things until they are done, etc. I don't know what tickles your fancy, but maybe you have ideas ^^

[@bozobebop5859]

You’re right, at least it wasn’t a dc. Keep’r rollin brotha!

[@HeightsSoHyphy]

it's been great watching the journey my friend! excited for whats next

[@Machinist_2]

Damn man. The death sucks, sure, but you’ve got a really nice account. Keep it going! Love seeing the content! - Machinist_2

[@glitchyant]

I'm devastated 😭

[@kosaraczek1]

Rip [*]. Was great watching the journey. [*]

[@OnlyTrails]

When I read it on twitter I was genuinly sad, favourite hardcore series to go out😢 ❤

[@Just_me_Jack]

Fair play - that's a good run brother! I'd same the game has changed a fair bit since you started this HCIM so it might be worthwhile creating a new HCIM. If it's too soon to do so already, maybe in 6 months or a year when there's more large content releases that might make early game more engaging than it is right now. Other ideas that'll make the game more interesting might be a 1-def ironman. More constraints. Different playstyle etc. Might offer unique advantages.

[@onebrainman3008]

Sorry for your loss, and he was so low too

[@derekbadder5890]

The Hardcore Graveyard has claimed another

[@realglobmaster]

Rip, but also gz on being freed from the hcim emblem prison.

[@BasicPokemon]

i was just about to type the tornadoes but its over, honestly i dont think any hcim should do cg, really sorry about that loss. especially after that d pick grind. typically u should be doing like 100 regulars for practice, and probably 100 cg's on a main account to get the feel, but man even then those tornadoes are just fucking rough. if u insist on cg for the next hcim, i recommend doing it immediately gl man. man i literally just started this channel tonight

[@32twest]

that sucks homie! wishing you good fortune and peace of mind moving forward. The community lost a monster today!

[@EliteDrogo]

As much as hardcores impress me, the gameplay is almost always the same content. Keep going with this account since its been so progressed and complete content that you find more fun than the safe ones you've been doing.

[@nc8186]

Man was gone for a year then this happened damn

[@scallan870]

You're freeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[@moh_probs]

bro where you beeeeeen

[@Beetleface5]

Awesome to see you posting again!! Just wondering whizard if you kept in contact with "Iron Maxwall" I used to be in his clan "WeNeverTrade" and after my break, I took the new clan system was made. Lost contact with everyone pretty much.

[@Rhans]

I think it would nice seeing you continue on this account without having to worry about HC issues any longer.

[@tj2929]

Ultimately you should play whatever account style you want to play or what you think will be good YT content. I would say if you make another HC, it'll likely end up with the same result where you put in a lot of work and then die at something you don't have a ton of experience in. You're really close to max on this account so I'd like to see you finish this one out and maybe see how far you can get on the Combat Achievements and dip your toes in content that you never got around to. (ToB, ToA, Pnm, Nex, Muspah, wildy bosses after update). Best of luck with whatever you decide to go with.

[@meetRS268]

sad to see it end have watched since early teens in the progress series and got all the way to 86 thats crazy. I think collection log or combat diaries wouldn't be a bad way to go going forward, but if you wanted to make a new hcim maybe you could try restricting ur defense? It makes the content harder obv, but mostly gives different grinds and if you were to die you'd have something different then 2 mid-late game ironman accounts. Not necessarily 1 def either, i have a 30 def iron and I know 13, 20, 40, and 45 def irons certainly exist, and new updates have helped thme a lot, you no longer need to get daero exp to do mm2 and get a d scim. so zenytes and d scims are obtainable, and new ancient prayers coming out make piety, rigour, and augury prayers a lot less important. If you did decide to do this, a note is that the lower ur def the more clue scrolls effect ur end game gear. either way excited to see whats next

[@sappyking111]

Well done on how you took that death. Love watching the content, I hope you continue. But please, turn your mic volume up, when I drive and listen to your videos I can’t hear you at all over the road noise.

[@ThePureBarrows]

Hate to say it but death was deserved worth learning t3 ( can do over 90% success once down) but also, the combo food has a extra delay its safer to just use reg fish.. Insane run though - Big Balls Respect Keep up the hard work

[@SimpAndy]

I'd say its nice to go out dying at CG to an actual mistake, rather than server lag / personal DC. It might have been unlucky for hunleff to hit big.. but he hits big often, accuracy is insane off pray. and full nado stack is pretty much guaranteed to chunk like it did. Eitherway, be proud to go out doing some of the most dangerous content in the game and not losing network or something. Personally i'd not be too interested in watching a standard restart (a UIM, a HCIM etc.) Enjoy your vids but i've seen the early game far too much for it to personally interest me. I'd likely still watch as background noise tho :P

[@TrashPvmer]

why didnt u loot the gauntlet chest i was left in suspense

[@jeffreysmith9041]

I absolutely love HC series so, I vote another HC

[@TwoSeven5]

Hey dood, Tek here, sad to see both you & Mr Ven go now :( you guys were both awesome hardcores and excellent gamers. I really do hope that you continue playing! Miss you brother, see ya soon brotherman and GG!

[@ScytheSergeant]

Strongly suggest giving UIM a shot, it's less intimidating than it looks and you get to do a lot of the game in a completely new way which was super refreshing to me when I finally decided to try it after having maxed my iron.

[@isaaccrockett6470]

You can die so server DC no problem anymore but no bank :( Collection log on an ultimate is kinda sad because likes what the point of collecting stuff if you can't collect it.

[@griffin5071]

I knew when you said hunleff was dead, but wasn’t, you were the one to die. I’ve died so many times relaxing at the very end like that

[@WhizardRS]

Yeah he wound up spawning tornadoes really close together. The ones that took me out spawned just 4 attacks after the previous. Wasn't expecting more of them so soon ;-;

[@youcantfailatboredom]

Continue on this account. I died to tob on my hardcore and immediately went to do wildy content for voidwaker and rev weapons and it has been so much fun. Maybe give it a shot :)

[@ingydegmar2060]

I did the opposite of your death, got hit by some nados, got out, but took a hit off prayer since I wasn't focussed. Was little over a month ago, made a new hc the week after. I was pretty devastated on death, your hc was so far ahead, it must be worse. But in the end, it's a game. You'll be just fine whether you restart or continue.

[@empowl1607]

Whizard V3

[@boogerdank5340]

Just an fyi, the attack style you choose for spec weapons does not matter. All spec weapons have a predetermined attack style. This can be found under "special attack" on the wiki!

[@WhizardRS]

Oh had no idea haha

[@boogerdank5340]

​@@WhizardRSsorry about the status :( always excited to see a new upload, stay motivated!

[@SimpAndy]

Exception is chally on corp

[@boogerdank5340]

@@SimpAndy I didn't know that, was that an update they made specifically for corp? When I tried looking into it I saw that the chally spec rolls against slash defence. I'm going to start grinding corp soon so this is good to know!

[@gunsanroses99]

Just finished the series within a few weeks. GG's on the death but excited to see more!

im so sad, why u were doing t1 prep ?? its one mistake = death. t2 would be much more safe :(

It was t2 my man

What a stupid mini game for you to get stacked out THAT quick. I understand it’s supposed to be hard but that’s not fair

WHY is everyone losing their status 😢😢Hell of a run gamer! Also, it happened on april 20th? Were you partaking in the devils lettuce?! NAUGHTY NAUGHTY WHIZARD!

[@matthewmcbeth4099]

Uh what

[@matthewmcbeth4099]

Didn't really want to like this video. RIP

[@alex9132]

I think maybe continue playing this account, but also make a HC in the background start levelling up the hardcore and do more AFK stuff that way if/when you decide to play another hardcore you already have a kind of established account. (Ofc you should record it's progress so you can let us know)

[@adamj6847]

That was a bad death why does no one understand how important fast clicks r in the gauntlet, I'm very disappointed

[@WhizardRS]

I completely understood that my man. What ultimately got me was taking that hit off prayer. Caught me unawares and my response was too casual. Panicking in that situation likely would have saved me lol

[@Kifez]

@@WhizardRS shouldve used the cg countdown plugin mate, unfortunate

[@jayjay4848]

​@@WhizardRS I'm sorry but correct prayer or not those tornadoes were killing you regardless of your health standing still like that, you wouldn't have reacted in time
