Really great music this time around, although I still hope that the new login screen will visually change as the expansion progresses or something special.
To be fair, how often do you actually see this screen for more than two seconds with the auto-login from the launcher taking you straight to your character select?
@@SirJorb I mean yeah not very often, but I do absolutely stop and admire the login screens from time to time, in particular when they're new. I'm sure other people do the same.
@@SirJorb Doesn't matter, you could say that about many things. How often will you gaze at the expansion box art? Or view the cinematic? You'd see the log in screen more than those. Its lazy. They can afford to make a pretty log in screen.

I know everyone likes the ol' drums of war, me too, but nothing hits like hearing the first taste of a new expansion leirmotif when it's as good as 0:48 ! I got choked up as soon as I heard it, this saga is going to be amazing!
@@soupofthedead4748 But in this case, it feels great. Yes! At the end I miss another upbeat after the nice quiet phase, unfortunately the music then ends.
@@Psychodetektiv i think they will add more to it when the expansion releases and the new zones have their music available. If i remember correctly, that’s how Dragonflight was.
I know a lotta people are upset with how simple the artwork is, but I can't help feeling it's gonna change over time. Be it a hue shift or completely cracking open like it's a tome of sorts
I like how simple it is. It will probably evolve into the WW logo as the expansion goes, then into the Midnight logo and finally Last Titan logo when they release the xpacs
The goosebumps don't stop. It's that amazing. The mixture of nolstagia music from the start to the sinister violin and the vocals at the mid/end. Absolutely brilliant.
I don't think a piece of WoW music has touched me like this since the WotLK reveal trailer. Has a real "beginning of the end", "point of no return" feel to it.
Calling it now, the login screen will change over time and the people who said they hate it will eat their words as it becomes the most unique and dynamic login screen we've ever had
Even 20 years later, I am not surprised by the beauty and simplicity of the melody, which is always wrapped in a different sub-musical guise. Excellent, beauty. As always.
20 years of playing and this music still gives me chills! Beautifully done! THIS MUSIC ALONE has got me more PUMPED now for The War Within! Let's get it!
I actually really like the login screen as well. When I sit here looking at it and listening to the music I get huge vibes that's there's something behind it and it will open up. I'm curious what's behind it
So, I love the original main title music in vanilla bc nostalgic feels. But this, WOW, this! I really love this! They incorporated some of the original but added so much new sounds and the sudden change in chords...this is what I love with music...when they surprise me. :) @0:52 - this! What I am hearing are so many legacy sounds woven into one. I could spend quite some time pulling it apart but the aesthetic part of me wants to simply sit here and enjoy.
Wow, this title theme song is absolutely incredible! The epic vibes are off the charts, and it instantly gives me chills. The combination of powerful instrumentation and captivating melodies creates an unforgettable auditory experience. Kudos to everyone involved-this is a masterpiece! if this music is representing what to come in TWW, then bring it on!! EPIC!
How fresh it feels to not have a Main Title music that is extended as much as the former ones. This one adds way more flavour and tingles the curiosity.
The music is everything. Gave me chills, nostalgia, expectations, and it gives a sense of urgency. I have to say I actually really like the artwork, and I hope it will change over time as many are speculating it will.
The soundtrack is nostalgic, with a hint of mystical menace, despair and a spark of hope. I like it and am looking forward to the longer version. About the artwork: I can understand why people don't like it. I think it's okay, but Silithus & the sword would have been literally more inviting, as you're looking out into the distance and not against a... Stone? A chest? you know what i mean
just put hallowfall or sargeras sword into the login screen edit: maybe its gonna be an dynamic login screen and changes with lore progress or each patch. (also for some reason it looks like an eye to me)
Sargeras' sword is referenced in the cinematic but never (so far) in TWW gameplay.. wouldnt really fit. (NO, the crystal in Hallowfall is NOT THE F**KING SWORD, no matter how many times morons repeat it). For one thing, its in the wrong place on the globe.
I think they kept it simple because the Real loading screen is going to be your 4 character Warband sitting around some awesome setting with the same music anyway lol.
This in my opinion is the best log in music since Legion. And it's one of my favorites they've ever done. 0:49 never fails to give me goosebumps. And the choir at 1:04 is amazing too.
Every major creative decision like this is made deliberately. Of all the locations in MoP, Blizzard chose to make the login screen the statues that would later get wrecked. Now think about why they would choose to do this...
I think the loading screen is great, the music is even better. Go blizz bring me the game and vibe i felt when i first installed those 5 disks in 2005!!! Even with all the changes, many of whom i don't like in those 20 years...my heart and soul beats Warcraft...and now i will log in with my son and show him what his father was doing last 20 years!!!
Forget all of the new features, the abilities, the dungeons, the story..It usually comes down to the login screen for whether or not I return to WoW for a new expansion.. 😁
I had a quick listen before bed last night on my phone and it was ok, but now that I'm on my computer with headphones, I really do appreciate and like the music a lot. I listened to DF music a lot when it first came out, especially the 12 minute long version, and I can see doing the same when they release the full version of this. Pretty solid. For me personally, the loading screen is just ok, I'm pretty indifferent to it, really loved the one for DF, but I barely see it overall during normal gameplay, so if this is it, I'll be fine, but hope like people are saying and that more will be made of it as we progress through the expansion.
0:15 No matter how many decades or expansions pass, this part still gives me chills even 20 years later, simply epic
Said the same thing earlier, what an amazing little melody that stayed with us no matter how the game changed, this always stayed the same.
same here brother
Each expansion having it's own personal take on it has been wonderful. I think WotLK's is still my favourite after all this time.
Can’t agree more. This little melody brings me back to the first time I launched the game 20 years ago. Be back to 1.0 time
Yes, I love it!!! The music and the simple theme are both gorgeous!!!
Really great music this time around, although I still hope that the new login screen will visually change as the expansion progresses or something special.

I love the vanilla intro then transitions to melodic strings then to ominous choir. It has the sense of urgency, hope and despair.

I wish it's true, at least with every x.x.(n) patch
they did say the expansions were going to be a bit quicker with this saga they're working on - I say let them cook
A new change with saga, a new change in login screens.
I like how simple it is. It will probably evolve into the WW logo as the expansion goes, then into the Midnight logo and finally Last Titan logo when they release the xpacs
It's definitely gonna crack open through the patches

Calling it now, the login screen will change over time and the people who said they hate it will eat their words as it becomes the most unique and dynamic login screen we've ever had
I'd trade unique and dynamic for epic anytime.
Yeaaah I don't see that happening. This whole expansion just screams Lazy and repetitiveness.
Its a bonfire dude
Cope
it will change over these 3 expansions. I'm sure it will crack and show us how Azeroth Titan borns
2:06 i love how the more sinister/sorrowish tones drop here, very much in the supposed defeat we are to confront eventually.
Death of Khadgar is proof of that

would be cool if the cracks started to slowly break apart with shadow tentacles spreading to show the title screen falling to the Shadow / void
Just Wait ;)
I think this is likely the case
This is what I'm predicting for future patches or for midnight. I think they are absolutely cooking something. There is mystery here
Wishful thinking
Like once you login
Well I'm loving the music already, the different variations of the login screen music have always been great IMO.
Varian: "Summon Our Champions, Make Ready For War! Azeroth needs it's Heroes now, MORE than ever."
This makes me so nostalgic for the early days of WoW - yet also excited for what’s to come. Awesome work, Blizz. ❤
It's criminal that this is only two and a half minutes! With the more sinister feel, I cannot wait for the rest of the soundtrack
Damn, they nailed the music here. I can’t wait to hear the whole soundtrack.
So epic, so beautiful. Hopefully a longer version shows up soon, on par with the usual length we get for these.
it will - they did a short version of the login music with Dragonflight similar to this - the longer version showed up 1 or 2 weeks later.
Game of thrones vibes with classic legendary wow parts
I thought the same!
Left no crumbs in the kitchen on this one. Absolutely amazing!
How fresh it feels to not have a Main Title music that is extended as much as the former ones. This one adds way more flavour and tingles the curiosity.
Yes,but sadly they mixed up a bunch of stuff in the new longer version :/ its on WoWhead and this sounds better.

I really love the Nordic vibe there! 00:49 I love the transition!

Check out the FF14 Heavensward intro cutscene music, it is shockingly similar
It sounds kinda like that one song that was used for the isle of thunder patch trailer
@@nateyoung925 Or Shadowbringers theme at 1:50

Good hearing mate. I hear it too. Was scrolling through my games & movies folder trying to find what this sounded like, and yep there it is.
Its like Wow + Skyrim + Game of Thrones music themes

Yeah this is the best theme since Legion
0:48 This is 100% the new theme for Anduin getting the light back. It screams redemption. Or it's thrall's new theme when he becomes a shaman again.
WoW music always brings me chills, this song continues on in the tradition.
0:48 God, that is so good.
As I keep saying in other WoW comments, we are so back, baby! :')
Damn this masterpiece itself makes me reaaallly want to come back in War Within, i loved the trailer but realy good music as always
Ahh.. Good old theme. I really miss it.
Old flare an new flare blended an mix perfectly they nailed it
The somber leitmotif reminds me of the intro of the Thunder King trailer with Lorewalker Cho's monologue.
I like how they produce the same Music everytime - but everytime its diffrent then before
Really like this main theme! So beautiful, fresh and nostalgic at the same time!
The good thing about login screens is that you get a piece of what the actual In-Game soundtrack will be!
I can't wait to listen to track using that loop from 0:49 as a main motive.
It sounds very tragic. Something is definitely gonna go down in the War Within.
HAHA I GET IT
Oh man, this is awesome. Great Job!
Might be the best title screen music they've made up.
Wow der soundtrack ist ja Weltklasse. WORLD Class Sound
Music is very important in films, TV shows, and video games, and Blizzard never disappoints when it comes to soundtracks.
Forget all of the new features, the abilities, the dungeons, the story..It usually comes down to the login screen for whether or not I return to WoW for a new expansion.. 😁
login screen is meh, but that music and new theme is absolutely * chefs kiss* love it
I feel like over the world soul saga the login screen will gradually change
If everything in this expansion matches the music, then this could be the best expansion ever! This song is epic!
mmm that chord change around 51 seconds. chills.
0:15 - You are about to turn in your report last hour written with chatgpt
1:29 until the end, I could listen on loop for hours! Best part IMO.
they never miss with music… ever
Something is missing at 0:45, like someone forgot to include few notes.
No matter how many centuries pass the music from wow never disappointed
ill miss you alexstrasza and your actual onscreen animations

Ngl, If you ask me the Main Title Music is so good that it pays for the simple login screen.
Back to the roots ...love it
Legion iteration of the login screen song is the best for me to this day. But this one is amazing also. Music in wow never misses.
Looks like Azeroth is singing...
And the earth is trembling.
I LIKE IT. :)
This music kind of reminds me of the bfa music. At least the beginning
Great Stuff! I love this new music! This sounds so epic. Ima add this to my playlist right now! I’m so excited! 😃
I wonder if it will break as the patches progresses
AUGH!!!!!!!! It feels so good to hear this style of Login Music again, Dragonflight's was just such a letdown.
The music in WoW means everything to me; it is what makes this MMORPG stand out from all others. 🧡✨️
I wonder if it breaks open when you log in
Is Jason Hayes attributed simply because Legends of Azeroth was his piece, or did he actually work on this one?
Anduin & Thrall reunited
Did you find the lowest quality you could load?
new login screen looks simple but i like it 👍
Some GoT vibes mixed with nostalgia. Epic.
