thought this was for beginners butb have no clue what hes talking about like a third language to me. does not explain what anything is or means very well for people who would be completely new
Great video. I clicked on like 3 other vids and then clicked off immediately bc of people sounding fake. I just like how chill you sound, like it's a normal conversation. Makes the information much easier to digest
Great video. However it would be a bit helpful if you explained what Mythic+, Raiding, etc are. And also some acronyms like "PUGing" might be confusing to new players
I’ve played up to level 30 and was definitely looking for advice that helps set up long term. Didn’t know what the dragon stones did and certainly hated the UI so, very helpful video👍
Great video! I think it would stand the test of time better if you didn’t talk about the specific gear levels and the current season’s upgrade system (which outdated itself already!)
If your cursor isn't done in circle by videoedit... HOW can I make it in game?? ❤ Edit: after bit of research got idea about WeakAuras solution, cursorTrail addon and console specific command for size change.
this is not for beginners. i got lost after the tutorial. i think this is a beginner video for addons. lol. im sure its great content though for those who can follow.
Is it actually possible to be new player? It seems like it's all a rush reserved for players who've never been absent from every expansion. I came back after playing a decent amount of Legion. I tried running dungeons at level 20 and was immediately kicked for not knowing any of the boss fights.
Getting into WoW at that level just straight up requires more knowledge and time investment than 99% of games. It can easily lead to bad experiences in game if you don't already know what to do. My advice is to play casually, and when you're confident with what you know, then try and push content. I started out as an LFR only guy, it's rare to start endgame content off rip
This was tedious to watch as a new player, you use way too much in game phrases and dialects with no elaboration. I dont know what you're talking about
I never played wow, but would love to try. The only thing holding me back is the load of initial info you gotta know and wish i had someone show me the ropes.
first of all you should check video called "Almost complete history of WoW" so you have some idea of what the fuck is going on (because trust me, that world and it's history is equally as complex as our world) and pretty much everything else you can learn as you go. Don't go in with the mindset "I need to know so I'm efficient" you won't be, there are established communities of veterans making world's first every time, whatever you can do in this game, someone already did. Go in as an adventurer willing to learn, fail, get back up and die again. There are around 50 000 collectibles including mounts, appearances, heirlooms, toys, pets, titles, achievements, guild achievements etc. You will never be bored again. Just stay conscious of real time, because you can "wake up" in 10 years from now and still not have everything collected haha
I recently started playing WoW a couple of months ago during brew fest and I’ve been playing ever since, it’s such an exciting game and the community is very friendly for the most part. I’ve had no problem getting introduced to the game by random people I’ve met in the world, my item level is now 394, i haven’t done like any of the campaigns, the only one I’ve finished completely is dragonisles and now I’m at that point where everything gives me bad loot except for like Mythics and weeklys.
Your first character is forced to do Battle for Azeroth for whatever reason - content is fine after you get past the long instance quest. I am going to include some WoW lingo that I forgot to explain in the video incase you don't know some of the words I used - IO - This is a players "rating" for Mythic+, or harder versions of dungeons. "Pugging" - This just means looking for a group in the group finder for the content you want to do. Raiding - Doing raid content with a larger group, usually 10+ people. Mythic+ - Harder versions of dungeons that scale with the key level. Higher you go, the more difficult it gets
I've just started playing (never played before) and am going to try just play initial character without all the optimal efficiency and all that jazz...just gonna play it and enjoy my first char 😊
It's a good idea! Once you get past the first Zone (and past level 10) You can right click on your picture and click "Edit Mode" to change your interface to the way you like it. You can also add more skill bars in the "Skill bars" options in your Settings. This is very useful for when your skill bar is full and You need more space. Hope you find a layout that is comfortable for you and not too confusing!@@-JackK2412
Too many longtime players swear by them and recommend EVERYONE to use them, but the game has advanced to a point where they aren't as necessary as people think they are. @@Tweej
I really think they realized that WoW was really hard to enter into and are slowly making it more accessible. I'm happy with the design decisions made since the start of DF
Just came back to WoW, literally today, and saw your video. Haven’t played the game since Cataclysm, so long time without step into Azeroth. I created a Druid, and i loved the immersion of lvling a char from 0. I am currently at lvl 12, and im having such a great time! Really enjoying the process of relearn all the stuff haha Will stay tunned for next videos, just subscribed as well 🙌🏼
are you still playing or did you quit alr? Im same as you quit during the end of cata. Just got my account back cause its locked. All my character are still in cata raid gear lol. I saw the gear boost for all my char but not sure if i should use it. im still deciding if i should buy the expansion tmrw and come back to WoW. Everything just seems so overwhelming. I dont know where to start. my cata char is lvl 36.
I want to try wow but eeeh I don’t think the game is very casual friendly. Seems like a lot of focus on needing to know your stuff to do content like dungeons amongst other stuff... unless I am misunderstanding. This is just what I am gathering from RUclips vids I have been watching. Plus if I do content I enjoy experiencing it blind the first few times. Hmmm maybe I’ll test the waters and play for the story and exploring. I do love to explore!
At the base level, you can 100% enjoy it as a casual. You don't need to know mechanics to have fun with it, but the most overwhelming part is user interface and learning what does what. Definitely has a large entry to barrier starting out, but after that it's very enjoyable. Exploration and questing were very enjoyable for me when I started playing, but everyone enjoys different things :)
I've played wow on and off since I was 11 (16 years) and I've never ever taken the game seriously, I don't raid, and the highest tier I've ever done is heroic dungeons, I love the game, a few things are explained in exiles reach (starter area) and the rest just comes with time, the world is beautiful, lots of secrets to uncover, and thousands upon thousands of quests to do. I get to play for probably around 5 hours a week, and I always log off feeling fulfilled. An MMO mouse helps massively! Try it out you'll be glad you did!
@@dretho3690I would be really glad if you have any advice for someone that also wants to mostly enjoy the RPG element of the game and go on quests almost exclusively. Is there a way I can start doing quests from older expansions and how far back should I even try?
Where do we get Addons? Returning player here so I'm bit lost. I haven't played over 10 years. Took me a while too look for my mounts. I actually have to look up RUclips on how to get them back lol
An external app called Curseforge helps with addon installation - makes it one click from their app, and you can update addons easily from it. The other site for addons is Weakauras, which are mini-addons that help for a bunch of different things in-game. Hopefully not too confusing
Nice vid ,came back 10 years after I was playing LK ,I see many changes ,one of them is with the chromie thingie ,which is realy cool,I ve picked Pandaria ,tho I can t seem to find any class trainers ,or they have been removed ?also I didnt see anywhere a mount trainer for your speed lolz
It's like a ladder that you progressively climb, but low keys this late in the season might suck :/ Finding a guild + getting into guild groups is likely the best way to fast-track harder content.
Why dont you ever talk about unique class specific abilities such as mages portal training? These types of class specific abilities are one of the few big reasons people want to play WoW because of that cool factor. And I know its because these arent available fast and tangibly, which is why many leave the game early. Nobody talks about these and thats a huge problem. These cool factors need heavy reinforcement yet its odd no content creator really talks about them. Like how can I tame awesome beasts as a hunter? Theres just very few guides like that with QUALITY tips and guidance.
Then look for class-specific guides and not a general overview. No general guide is going to talk about either mage portal training or "awesome pets" because it is completely irrelevant when learning the game. The unique abilities are what draw you to play a specific class, not keep you playing it. Cool factors are meant for advertisers, not content creators. If not learning a portal spell makes you quit the game, then you should have quit anyway.
@@pumptastic The problem is ive seen 4 already on the top list and none even mentioned the tomes needed to unlock extra beasts to tame. And frankly your reaction with how hostile and gatekeepy y'all are seem to be exactly the reason why people quit. I still love the game myself but i have more of an endeavor in mind. Im just letting you know, this continuation of ignorance and rudeness is not making the community more fun at all. And you should want to help that but of course its not your job. Its just a polite request. Because this game is NOT beginner friendly at ALL. Exhibit A right here lmao.
@@erth8096That’s a weak excuse to avoid even trying out PvP. It’s quite literally the one of the biggest components in World of Warcraft. The fact it’s not on this list is disingenuous to the fun that can be had in the game. Elden Ring is considered to be one of the hardest games in recent years, with a story and progression path where most people don’t have a clue what’s going on, but it’s also wildly successful. PvP isn’t “hard” to learn. You spend just as much time learning other systems in the game as you would PvP. And that’s the beauty of this game, you can PvE, PvP, Achievement hunt, Transmog hunt, Pet battle, RP, or whatever. You can literally choose what you want to do. Leaving out PvP because it’s too hard for YOU is so fucking weak.
Was watching this video since it’s meant for new players, half the things you said are confusing, idk how mythic+ works, how the gearing works, how professions work, how crafting works, how to make gold, how to go with the vault part, etc etc 🫣
thought this was for beginners butb have no clue what hes talking about like a third language to me. does not explain what anything is or means very well for people who would be completely new
Just mash buttons til you hit lvl 70
perfect thats exactly the type of video im looking for
Its not the video, its you. You're clearly in desperate need of functioning brain cells
Great video. I clicked on like 3 other vids and then clicked off immediately bc of people sounding fake. I just like how chill you sound, like it's a normal conversation. Makes the information much easier to digest

For sure, I honestly have used the lingo for so long that I forgot about it, haha. I'll update my pinned comment with explanations, thanks!
There just harder version os dungeons with better gear
I’ve played up to level 30 and was definitely looking for advice that helps set up long term. Didn’t know what the dragon stones did and certainly hated the UI so, very helpful video👍
Former ffxiv player here appreciates the vid. Have a good one 👍
Can you do a guide on how to do mythic + dungeons tutorial like how to join where some of the most popular mythic dungs are etc pls 😊😊
Thanks for this video! It made me want to start playing WOW for the first time. 🙏🏼
Me too
Great video! I think it would stand the test of time better if you didn’t talk about the specific gear levels and the current season’s upgrade system (which outdated itself already!)
For sure, there's quite a bit I would change with it now but I think it holds up decent, haha
Raider IO addon in a starter guide?
Great content!
good video im playing for first time ever and there is a lot i am not used to
If your cursor isn't done in circle by videoedit... HOW can I make it in game?? ❤
Edit: after bit of research got idea about WeakAuras solution, cursorTrail addon and console specific command for size change.
Yep! It's a weakaura called Ultimate Mouse Cursor. wago.io/ZbjlsgMkp/35
This guide reminded me why I stopped playing retail😂
Just restarted my subscription for the first time in a while, and realized I don’t remember how to play lol
Be good if it good play controller lol
Is there a way to make my A and D not rotate my camera as well? Like the only way I rotate camera is with my mouse?
Yes - In movement / controls you can unbind camera movement with those keys, I only move my camera with my mouse
Unexplained jargon isn't great for a beginner's guide
this is not for beginners. i got lost after the tutorial. i think this is a beginner video for addons. lol. im sure its great content though for those who can follow.
Is it actually possible to be new player? It seems like it's all a rush reserved for players who've never been absent from every expansion.
I came back after playing a decent amount of Legion. I tried running dungeons at level 20 and was immediately kicked for not knowing any of the boss fights.

You say for Beginner
You don't explain any sh!t for starters, and go around real quick on everything

This is no where near a for beginners

as a brand brand new player, I have no clue what youre talking about in half of this video...
I play with no add ons and it's perfectly playable and enjoyable (and as a healer)
It's probably better to not dip into them at all... I have some doing the same thing as others and others I don't know what they do lol😅
