Anyone watching this after the tbc classic announcement?
Ooh, me, me!
Man, can’t wait!
Heck yeah
Bro I’m so hyped it’s looking like a month or less till prepatch depending on which leaks are accurate
Ya'll are still pumped after Blizz blatantly bastardized it? Cool.
We should spam this on the forums and make Blizz watch this. Preach you made me feel the feels for this game that I haven't in awhile. This is what this game should be again. No more fast gear catch up mechanics, and tons to do end game. TBC was the only expansion that I didn't roll an alt.
34Vilend I had alts for professions and the odd karazhan raid, but they never stepped into t5 or t6. Even with that I was happy with them.
34Vilend times change. the game is old and the developers are not passionate anymore. the game wont be great again. all we can do is hope that the next expansion wont be worse than the last and wait for the next big mmo.
34Vilend Same i only had 1 char in tbc when i started
34Vilend honestly, a fine balance would be nice, I personally think things such as attunements, special riding skills (looking at your cloud serpents) and things along those lines should be account wide, while the attunement in BC Was a lot better than what is there now, and was fun on your first character, already on your second character it was just horrible. and sometimes, a patch will destroy everything you loved about your main, and you are forced to swap, or you need to reroll for other reasons, i myself had to help out our Team 2 on a healer for certain encounters that they saved for thursdays, so i had to level and attune a healer. and a tank.
I want stuff to do, but i would also apreciate not having to do the same stuff 10 times. which is all the "attunement" there is now adays, which is legendary rings and cloaks which require you to kill the same shit 10 times for some lousy stones lol.
I am okay with things taking time, my dungeons can go slow and last an hour, i would love that just as i did in WIldstar the first week or two before their dungeons were eventually nerfed aswell. but i am not okay with having to collect 300 stones that i can only acquire 50 of per week because of raid lock outs. artificial gating is the worst, and it is being over used heavily in wow.
so a nice balance between the progress we have acquired through the years, and the design philosophy of TBC would amazing.
+34Vilend Blizzard are aware of this, they've even officially said that they won't do it because "people will get bored"
ie - we don't want to admit the game is completely ass compared to what it used to be
I gotta say, this guy is eloquent and an absolute joy to watch. He has a way of putting my emotions about WoW into words like a poet. You, sir, have just earned yourself a like and a subscriber.
Amen
This ^
I agree. But I don't like this real scenes between. However this don't lessen the rest really good things.
Preach has delivered the best WoW content since the day he went live. I don't think I could get through the week without my Drama Time fix.
Fateh Sakkal
I remember BC. First walking into Hellfire Peninsula was breathtaking.
Walking through Zangarmarsh and seeing Blade's Edge mountains far away, wondering what a crazy place it must be ...
it was.. because it was so fucking crowded that i got kicked over and over and yelled my heart out until i was out of breath.
yea it so was! Hellfire Peninsula is still one of my fav zones. The way it was presented along with the backdrop of planets was so starkly different to anything I'd seen before it took my breath away.
I remember the utter hell of trying to traverse the BC zones, particularly Hellfire when you didn't have flying. It was ... an experience to say the least. The Fel Reaver alone and people screaming as it ganked them is a memory that I will never forget.
lol always wondered how people missed the earthquake of the damn thing coming towards you Though I totally came back later and killed the thing out of spite
This video has been more enjoyable than the last 2 years of playing WoW. Thank you Preach.
Your comment is still relevant in 2022 btw.
Preach do you have plans on making more "The Legacy of The X" videos, more specifically rest of the classes? Btw amazing vid, the list of attunements is just insane.
Thumb this comment up!
Sant Cpell But at least you had something to do outside of the first week of being at cap.
Sant Cpell Legacy of The Priest!!
+Sant Cpell i guess he is, but it probably requires a lot of time as well.
+Sant Cpell Legacy of the doomhunter!
who remembers to be killed by the fel reaver in hellfire, or hearing that noise and run like a crazy.
Dread, the constant fear of that huge stalking machine creeping on you while you were looting one pig and running for dear life, sacrificing your pet, to save your skin, and almost yelling for HELP and each player you found on your escape path, running away from you and your "company". priceless.
I used to aggro it, sprint into a group of people and vanish and run away. Lots of laughs were had.
@@terrygrant2300 Sounds like a duck, acts like a duck, what is it? A ROGUE
No Ragrets!
classic rogue move :D
I come back and watch this video every year or so... man this was one of the most fun times in my life. Playing this game with my irl friends and just not giving a damn about life problems.
Classic tbc incoming
Thank you for the video. Really liked it. I started playing like 2 weeks before TBC, making it my first experience with end game. So, this video brought back a lot of memories, some fond, some not so much lol. Way too many people couldn't do the ghosts on Teron Gorefiend properly. My guild ended up forcing our raiders who failed it to play that little simulator of it someone made online.
Joshua ThreeFiveFour the little browser game for Teron, I had forgotten about that lol.
***** Haha yea, it was more difficult than the actual fight xD
I played that little mini game until I could do it in my sleep lol.
Joshua ThreeFiveFour Same here mate, i started basicly same time xD .. God how i miss it
The feels at the end
+TheLazyPeon how ya doing
Yeah the feels when you killed Illidan but now he comes back so that was useless. XD
+Davin XS We didn't kill him.. he was imprisoned, mate ;)
sebastian kure
I know but like you sorta killed him in a waiy idk.
+sebastian kure We did kill him. Maiev took his body back to the vault so his lingering soul could suffer for the rest of time.
5 mans heroics in TBC is the best memory I have of wow. Playing a hunter was amazing during that time. Every trash pull had the potential of wiping the group. Had to focus fire each mob, crowd control was a must. AOE was useless, most of the time, could not risk popping the sheep or frozen mobs. A typical pull consisted of:
1- Drop a freezing trap at you feet away from the group (no trap launching)
2-Wait a few seconds for cooldown to prepare chain trapping.
3-Misdirect on tank to initiate pull
4-Mage sheep the moon marked mob to initiate the pull
5-Shoot skull mob to tank
6-Distracting shot on blue square, lured into trap.
7-Assist tank, send pet
8-start DPS
9-Drop new trap, position yourself so new trap is in the path of currrently frozen mob.
10-Do OP beast master DPS
11-Keep an eye on healers in case they pull aggro.
12-When frozen mob get free, regain aggro and freeze again.
13-Drop new trap
14-Keep misdirecting to tank
15-Priest got aggro from 2 mobs. Distracting shot on one straggler, run him to the tank.
16-Send pet on the other, turn on growl
17- Get back in position to refreeze.
etc etc
When fight is done, 30% ahead of second person on DPS meter.
+Michel Folco OMG I loved it also. I played a tank in TBC I had two hunter friends, one was very good and did all things you mentioned, and if things went south could kite like a boss.
I had another who would always stand on top of his traps and get one shot >.
I don't remember that clearly, but was redirect a thing back in TBC?
I played a rogue in TBC and through when I quit at the end of Cata (Kung Fu Panda killed it for me). Thank you for bringing back memories. I still remember being a noob in TBC and focusing so hard when I would get in a random heroic group. If I remember right, the heroic for the second ramparts dungeon was easier than the first. We would run heroic ramps sometimes though and kill through the first boss and sometimes just do the trash to the first boss and reset just to see what heroics were like.
I really miss having to actually use CC 😭. I still stealth ahead and sap something just because it was ingrained in me back in the day.
heroic dungeons in TBC were awesome and I will miss them forever
gone are the days when you had to CC 4 enemies out of 5 every trash pack.
But they still exist! I can queue for classic dungeons all day long and an elite tank player will whisk us all through it in 4 minutes. Its great!
Miss this lol
How awful were the groups you were playing with if you needed so much CC.
DriftNick damn wish we were all as good as you :)
@@bunnyc4t Well it's much better then struggling to do BC heroics.
After seeing this, reminded me of how I actually liked attunements... It made you progress through a story line and EARN your right to participate in certain dungeons and raids, and gave us a sense of real progress. I loved the idea of running dungeons and increasing rep with certain factions for a purpose - not just running it for loot through a random dungeon finder. Getting attuned to a raid was a reward, I felt accomplished when I finished the chain. Let's do this again, please?
+Durgenheim I remember i progressed to a really good guild back in vanilla and got invited too soon to do MC as a replacement of one of their main druids, only to find out i couldn't enter because i wasn't attuned yet. I wasn't disappointed at all. I loved how the game made me have to prove myself just to be able to join such an adventure.
I also remember how back then even some 5 man dungeons were almost impossible to clear if you didn't have a certain class in your group for a certain buff or ability only they were capable of. Vanilla WoW was real roleplay. Even on none roleplay servers.
Also i love your master blaster icon.
Pieter Auper Yes! the game totally rewarded you when you took the time to finish the important quests, which was what made it fun. So far from where we are today where there is no challenge and everything is handed out for free.
As the great Stevie Wonder once said, "we all have ability. The difference is how we use it".
+Durgenheim If only there were more of us these days i would've actually still played now. I quit after Cataclysm. I just felt i was playing a totally different game from what i started. One i didn't like. My guild had to deal with people who were all drama over getting 'only' 2 epics out of one evening raiding. Pathetic.
That quote, btw, is the cherry on the pie as far as this conversation goes :)
Once or twice, fine, doing them for every alt or new player? Not so much.
Pieter Auper Lol same ! I quit after Cata ! But came back for Legion. And I can tell you Legion is deff worth it !
i just miss being told gratz when i ding! IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK!!!!!
+Vespian90 First lvl70, first lvl80... man... so accomplishing, so rewarding. It was like: Oh god finally! woot! Now lets progress and see whats this is all about!
And now its like: 1 done 11 more to go.
ikr! when people actually spoke in guild chat and and your chat box lit up green with all the "gz" messages!! miss it so much!
Vespian90 Or staying up that extra 20 minutes at night because you are SO CLOSE to leveling, and you end up staying awake until 3 in the morning and you FINALLY ding but there is only 1 or 2 people online, so you don't say anything, go to bed, and the next day 5 minutes after you log on you say "Ding!" just so you can have 20 people say "Gratz" back to you.
+Vespian90 Unfortunently its probably getting to ordinary to ding... Back in Vanilla and TBC dinging was a real achievement in itself =P
Opamigaaa Well, guildies aren't always considered to be total strangers, or at least there is an incentive to be social and encouraging in guildchats. There used to be, at least when I was last playing the game (just before the release of WoD) =)
"What, a big bald spot in the middle of some foliage?" I lol'd so hard haha.
now the bald spot is gone
The ending video made me cry! My childhood... Thank you for reminding me ;_:
Same here. Absolutely amazing
+Lrdvltr you actually cried?
+Hitashi son yea, he prob did. Memories of lost childhood can be pretty intense.
Ithila good one :)
I actually started crying too my man haha...
Who's watching after the TBC survey announcement ?! I think its going to be insanely awesome, bigger then classic I believe
yeeeeeee
Hell yeah man, I can't wait. I love Classic but TBC is the only expansion I've never experienced. It's also one of the most hardcore expansions for Raiding. Hyyyype
MizuSeishin
as someone who played the game back then im my opinion the raiding is the weakest point of the expansion. I hope you like dungeon, rep grind and PVP. And if anything playing Classic as thought me, what we thought hard in the past, is a meme now a day. sub 20 minutes BWL and MC clear WITHOUT AQ gear. topkek.
@@overtaker12 well that's not good. Lul.
You're right about classic, raiding is a huge meme. Trivially easy. Despite that I don't think it'll be nearly as bad with BC raiding because no world buffs and a lot less ppl know of and play tbc VS all the ppl who played classic private servers.
What about the raiding was "weak"?
@@geeurgay Karazhan is one of the best raid on the game. Magtheridon and Gruul's lair have has much mechanics as anything in classic if not less. The Eye and SSC are both memes until last boss, and we will get the last patch version so they will be nerfed to the ground. Black Temple 1st half is awful and boring, really only good fight is Illidan. Hyjal is the worst raid they ever made. waiting for waves is just a terrible concept. as For sunwell, it's the only thing ill be looking foward to as difficulty goes.
It's not just nostalgia. Burning Crusade really, truly was the best expansion. It wasn't perfect, but it was still the high point of WoW.
irllcd13 subs numbers on woltk say otherwise
numbers don't mean shit. By that logic Justin Beieber is better than the Beatles. WoTLK is when the hype-train was at full speed, plus it was a lot more casual, so people got into it. A lot of people didn't like it as much at the time
Tbc for life- > Wrath ->Mop just my opinion tho :P
irllcd13
Actually if you think about the numbers logically, you'll see that during TBC WoW was still growing aggressively. Yes, they PEAKED shortly after the release of Wrath, but that was due to the excellent of BC and Wrath hype. Sub numbers went down slightly throughout the course of Wrath.
That montage at the end was making me feel some feels
nope
Lmao TBC legacy servers incoming
The TBC was one of the best times i have ever had in WoW. It wasn't just because of the difficulty or content, although it was loaded with it. The nostalgia comes from that fact that it was the first time I stepped into the game and there was SOOOO much to learn and experience. Then when you added friends and guilds into the equation it just became the most epic game i have ever played. I may not always agree with the choices that Blizzard has made over the years and the game maybe changing to something I'm not in tune with, however I will always have the great memories with friends / guildies from this time period. Thank you Preach for bring this subject up and allowing me to reminisce on the past =D. Keep doing what you do sir!
this video was excellent. it gave me such a bittersweet feeling, a feeling of longing...i hope blizzard makes a wow2 of some sorts, so that they get rid of the ancient engine wow has, and it renews and gives players the feeling they had when they first played wow.
zanzibawr not to offend you but; that will never happen, mark my words.
***** its not offensive at all, but the video got me to hope again, not matter how futile...
zanzibawr I hope that's not going to happen, my pc is dog shit and i have around 50 fps on fair graphics
+zanzibawr Honestly I think they could re-roll the entire game on a new engine and it would be a success.
***** how do you know?
I had the same black monitor during BC, Ahh the memories! lol
DualHorn Studios Me too
DualHorn Studios I wouldn't be surprised if everyone had the same brick computer monitor.
ArbsX mine was white but same model
+DualHorn Studios Mine was white because I was poor
+DualHorn Studios Mine was an awful combination of grey and beige
Hearing that ''YOU ARE NOT PREPARED'' gave me chills again. Chills over a game i haven't cared for in a looong time.
HOW LONG? WAS IT 22cm?
I still go back and watch that expansion commercial trailer from time to time.....dope....as.....fuck
2022: Classic TBC. Calling it now
Tamás August 2021. Calling it now.
Summer 2021 confirmed
Who else is re-watching this in 2021?!
@preach gaming I watch this every other month, my hope is that Classic rolls into TBC in a couple of years as official Blizzard servers. TBC was by far my favorite expansion as well!.
Ending sequence gave me chills, 10/10
I remember the pure glee I felt getting Quag's eye on my mage at the time. Actually kept it all the way through most of BT. It totally made the Arc/Frost spec I ran. Nothing even close to it until the NMIC for afflocks in Wrath.
Honestly, the reason TBC was so awesome was because it was essentially Vanilla with most of the issues fixed. No radical changes that came later with Wrath and especially Cata.
Well done sir. Well done indeed
We are going back boys!!
that ending segment is amazing yo
God I remember when this was coming out man time flies...
I really miss attunement quests myself. It was great actually having to work your way towards a goal, as opposed to just being able to join LFR right away.
Bro Blades Edge was so sick. Idk why everyone hated it. So much different variety in that zone and seeing all the dragons on the spikes for the first time and dragon heads hanging from chains was so sick.
CloudStrife893 I think people hated the zone layout more than the actual artwork. I know it was the zone I spent least time in simply because it was a real pain to get around. By the time I had a flying mount there was no reason to go there much as it didn't have any dungeons or raids.
Ya the Orgrilla dailies were pretty relevant even late in the xpac with the patterns they gave but totally agree. I didn't like the questing much personally in that zone but i thought it was a really brutal looking zone. It had like the entire warlords of draenor theme in 1 zone now that i think about it.
+Paul Haragan Didn't have raid? And you did Gruul where exactly?
benderbg
Yes, I completely forgot about that because it's not a real raid (only 2 bosses) :D My mistake. I still didn't go there much even in TBC.
actually Gruul's Lair was def a raid for me. I spent a many of night trying to get the high king down until we heard about the lock or mage tank strat.
The memories. The adventures!. The best year and a half of gaming in my life. It makes me sick and angry what WoW has turned into.
I have come back to this video and watched it so many times since it was released. I love it. So well made.
Same :-)
As someone who definitely LOVED TBC, i appreciate the effort you put into making this video. Thank you Preach.
Agreed 100%
+Expl0rati0n Doing Hyjal's first boss was an interesting / scary experience - my guild never got past that, and doing it some years later with a flock of overpowered characters makes me think that that aw a good thing.
+Expl0rati0n TBC was a golden era for WoW and theres no doubt in that, it had some flaws but overally it was just pure awesomness. 5man HC's being mini-raids were not only epicly fun it also made players fully learn their classes, something that is missing from MMO's nowdays(even PuG players were miles better than they are nowdays).
This video made me actually shed some manly tears due all memories i managed to get durning that time.
TBC never forget
+Expl0rati0n "If Blizzard were to make another expansion like TBC I'd be playing in a heartbeat." I hope you're hyped for Legion :p
IncomingGhost Haha let's hope so, but honestly after being disappointed so many times with the expansions I'm really hesitant to put any emotional investment into it. It doesn't help the Blizzard doesn't seem to own up to their mistakes like they used to, and are still pushing "micro"transactions. It looks good on paper like most expansions, but fundementally I still see flaws that they haven't talked about. I hope you enjoy it though! :D Maybe I'll be around if it proves to be great.
"Not for me. I dun Sunwell"
I saw what you did there Preach ;)
Lily Peet lol man Idk why but i still remember that joke from drama. Good times man.
Hearing that Fel Reaver towards the end of the video sent a shiver of terror down my spine. Those were the days!
Preach and Ghosty are truly the dynamic duo, my favorite youtube videos are this and the legacy of Wrath, seriously the best
Those two videos rule, I come back from time to time to watch the end of the TBC one (the music edit) and the opening of the WotLK one (another music edit). Truly great
I think you nailed preach. There was just SO much to do and it wasn't just optional crap that you could skip.
I started playing in TBC. Well actually my first account was made just a few days before release so I can't say I played in vanilla. Anyway WoW in TBC and WoTLK were basically the whole of my younger teenage years and I can honestly say I miss what it was then, what I REALLY wish they'd bring back is the factions that you could only get further with by doing an endless amount of daily quests and then when you're finally exalted you get something worth all that time spent.
I lay claim to being vanilla because I started a month and a half before tbc . it was so much better than now. walking into hell fire and being such a small fish. aggro 3 mobs and you died. elites and rares couldn't be soloed. and the raiding experience ... bragging about 350 dps in kara just as you were starting.
Yeah progression definitely felt more like you were actually progressing, cause as you said starting out with low dps when u were raiding kara, then getting to the end game stuff like TK or Hyjal or SSC and feeling like a freaking god haha! It might've been a little stupid but the first thing i did when i got some epics was go to the lower level zones and kill all the mobs that made my leveling experience hell, you know, just to show them whose boss :D
It was very rewarding in mid and late game to have all the struggle and attunments to get so powerful . you are right it was like being a god compared to early game. Except shadow labs heroic. That place was hell. Ahhh the void left by tbc. probably never to be filled again
i could watch the last 5 mins over and over
I spent half of my time during high school playing WoW. TBC came out a bit after I graduated. So many memories..
TBC is the best era of wow, period... just after Vanilla. This makes me want to play again.
+Rump Buffalo Omg dont play the shiiit they call wow now its bad real bad.
+Rump Buffalo The exploration was amazing, the raids too and just the game was amazing. The game was difficult and it truly felt like a second life :) .
For me, it wasn't that TBC was particularly better, but the community sure as fuck was (generally). I didn't mind grouping at all with pugs back then. Helpful people that were proud to pass on their knowledge and others that were humble enough to except it. Even guilds were more helpful and up for just doing shit back then to achieve a common goal.
Steve Docherty I still remember levelling back in yonder days of TBC, a young Orc warrior, doing that thunder canyon quest, when a level 60-ish rode in, boosted me, and left me a nice green sword
Never saw that guy again, wonder if he still plays
+Agent Camtho Remembered his name, Throllin - Darkmoon Faire, sadly, he stopped playing, the character is still lvl 63
+Daniel Deford True, it wasn't. WOW, and in particular some realsm, was being depopulated eough that Blizz HAD to make it crossrealms or some of these realsm would collapse because people didn't anyone to team up with each other (easily).
YOu make good arguments. I agree. The lack of accountability in the form of Xrealm zones and X-realm LFD), as others have said, makes the WoW world afreeforall for trolls, assholes and whoever don't want to be accountable for their actions.
WoW had a great community back then I'm sad to see how toxic it's become now. Now it seems 90% of the players are the "u suk, l2p noob" variety and sadly it's the same in a lot of games. Maybe it's just a thing with the new generation and games having become more mainstream rather than a "nerd thing"
Thank you so much for all of the legacy videos Preach, class and expansion ones, I am now going to watch them all again in the coming weeks, for the umpteenth time.
I've played WoW on and off since September 2005 and I was so hyped for SL but it disappointed me in so many ways. The recent race to world first, the one you and the guys (Dratnos, Tettles, Steakloins, Okaymage, Alex) casted from Hamburg reignited my passion for WoW so I reinstalled the game and for the first time ever decided to try healing. I've always played DPS so I thought it would be a nice change of pace. I have to admit, I'm enjoying it.
But again, thanks mate for all the brilliant work, WoW and Blizzard are so easy to dislike these days but personally, from time to time, the game has me by the balls.
Can't wait to see you cast the next race, the Jailer one was some of the most entertaining content I've seen in years, if I say so myself.
Keep it up lad, much love.
Everything about this video was fantastic, well done many memories have been re-capped inside myself as well. Hands down BC will probably always be the best expansion in this games history and a-lot of us that played then will never forget it either.
Omg...the Fel Reaver! Anyone who says they got through HP without being a grease spot under the Reaver's feet is a damn liar. It was a rite of passage and it happened to everyone...sometimes once was enough...but not always. Ahhh...the memories of the days before flying mounts when you did the run to get the first flite point in Shadowmoon Valley, right through a zillion and five of the biggest meanest demons ever seen,. Then having guildies offer to run it with you after you died three times because you kept getting lost in the green slime pits....what an adrenalin rush that was. PvP in Nagrand killing those quadrant guardians and getting one shotted by those wandering Elite Guards because you accidentally stepped into the wrong area trying to score a crafting node. Memories....sooo many. Ta much for this vid Preach, it brought back memories I had almost completely forgotten.
I did it the first time, since I skipped Hellfire on my main. There were too many people so I went and started Zangar instead. when I got around to leveling one of my alts though, he got me.
SERIOUSLY DUDE YOU ARE A GENIUS! PREACH 2016.
What sums it up for me is what you say around 25:00- TBC was about perfecting your main. You HAD to put a lot of time and effort into your character to make it good. Sure you might be able to skip a content patch and come back a few months later to pick up welfare epics, but the content was so much FUN (and your rep bars would look so tragic afterwards).
TBC truly had something for everyone. I liked to farm rep and do 60 content on my Blood Elf who I couldn't play in Vanilla. I have max exalted rep for all TBC factions (except Aldor). I loved being the one person on my server with ALL the hard to find enchanting recipes and people sought me out to enchant their gear.
That music video at the end makes me so nostalgic for BC I could cry. I had the best guild in BC, and loved all of it
I remember really enjoying the attunement chain. Maybe I am the only one, but it gave purpose to the content that I was doing and made me feel like I was actually getting stronger and progressing as I earned my way to see the next heroic dungeon or raid. It also helped you make friends and gave you a reason to do old content if you were someone who helped new people get attuned.
you and your husband are really cute
hahaha
+Devlin Cahill (Greyjoy) I was wondering. They're married ?
+proxyDECOY yes
+proxyDECOY Nah, he has a wife.
+proxyDECOY lol no I don't think ghosty gave birth to the lich babies 1&2 XD
Still coming back here to just vibe to the final song and relive the nostalgia of TBC original through such an amazing compilation.
Man I watch this about once a month. TBC was my favorite time in wow, and one of my favorite times of my life. It had the right combination difficulty, progression, and story, plus some special quality I cant easily qualify, probably as much to do with me as the game. That montage at the end is a tear jerker.
one of the best things that I feel was missed was the insane customization that you could do in the talent trees. I loved the old talent trees.
The Burning Crusade was TIME FOR FUN.
The music video after that recap in the context of what's going on with state of the game and Blizz in general....
I'm actually overwhelmed with longing nostalgia. Those really were the days, I know it sounds wild for people that don't get it, but memories playing TBC with friends rank high in best times in life
I watched this for the first time a few months after it came out. Still my absolute favorite video on the entire platform.
Love the videos Preach, keep up the great work.
most people claim Wotlk is the best WoW expansion simply cuz they never played TBC.. TBC best thing ever happened to WoW
people say wotlk was best because they never played vanila, i remember playing vanila private servers, but then tbc launched and there it was, my teenage years :D
I went to the midnight event at a gamestop to pick up my copy, i waited 5 hrs on the cold on a small side walk as a 14 year old kid, has to be one of the best experiences ive ever had related to a video game, let alone the THOUSANDS of hrs of fun playing it.
Your sir, brought nostalgia to my heart. But oooooh boy did I enjoy all of the 31 and 56 seconds on the video. GREAT GREAT job making this video and thanks.
Zul'Aman and Karazhan are still my favorite raids came from TBC... So many good memories of this expansion... Great video
We need a Legacy of the Lich King video now
LK was crap. It killed WoW for me. Face roll dungeons due to AoE threat generation.
ulduar doe
Opinion. LK had some of the best storytelling.
+Robert K NEEEEEERRRRDDD
I completely agree. I want to see his view and thoughts on wotlk.
we goin back bois
The music vid at the end damn near brought me to tears.
For me it adds a whole other level of nostalgia, living on my own for the first time, going to university, living thousands of miles from parents, staying up all night playing wow, diablo, CS, guild wars, unreal tournament, and more with new friends and house-mates... awesomeness.
this video was a fucking masterpiece! PLEASE make more videos in this style!
I totally agree with the point about the whole emphasis on alts over mains. I have so many alts now, that it just feels like I'm doing the same content over and over. I would love to return to just having one character that I really love and care about (artifact system could compliment this well), and I feel that that has been slowly devolving. Some people complain that if there is too much stuff to do, such as the lengthy and grindy legendary questlines. But really, if you didn't have to do the legendary questline on alts, and if it was slightly less grindy, it would be a super cool and meaningful device to get players attached to their mains. I think Blizzard has dropped the ball with the whole alt emphasis. They make us feel more like "the hero", yet spread us out between 2+ characters doing the same grindy content which makes the whole fantasy seem meaningless and repetitive.
THIS is why I spend around 7 years playing WoW. Watching this brought me so many AMAZING MEMORIES. Thank you so much for videos like this!
Still one of (if not the) best video(s) you've ever made. I began in TBC and I can remember so much of it. The first time standing at Murmur, Karazhan, finally getting the flying mount so I could wipe in Arkatraz and so on... It was amazing and still is. Such feels, much remembering.
I remember one of my friends being so fucking hyped about having full Netherweave on his Warlock because of how much stamina it gave him.
What a time to be alive.
im here because of the bald one
I don't normally leave commends on youtube videos but this brought back the best so far memories of world of warcraft. Thanks a lot fellas.
Recently i jumped on trial account, not on my real account because i coudn't be botherd to buy game time, just to get blood elf paladin hero on hearthstone. I started woundering, why i stopped playing wow? I stopped somewhere after i got most out of cataclysm and mists was on the horizion. I had thought of few minor changes, that i didn't like that contributed to me quitting, but only after watching this, did i get into the heart of the reason... reason were everything you disgussed. TBC was the gold and at cataclysm, i had gotten enough of the tarnish that had gathered on those golden days.
I wanted to share my story as a thank you for this video. it relly brought up all of the best memories of the years i lived wow. Thank you.
Vanilla/TBC was the greatest MMO ever made.
DRourk playing classic rn
wish blizz would watch this and follow exactly what he said in this video
+imtheonlyenemy99
Blizzard talked about all these things in their office many years ago, they know all this. But why they do as they do is hard to say.
+Samthing I know this is really late, but here goes..
'' Pretty much all major changes since TBC have been to satisfy casual player''
The ironic thing is that the game has NEVER been worse for casual players. Hardcore raiders still have good raids. Hardcore PvP players didnt get much in WoD, but RBGs in Cata were huge and Arena is still the same thing I guess.. (tho balance was pretty shit in WoD)
What does casual players do? LFR? Dont make me laugh, that aint content. Nobody pays their sub to do LFR every week (atleast I hope so). Garrisons? .. lol.
Back in Vanilla - BC and then early cata 5 man dungeons actually were content. The heroics were actually fun, challenging. Most casual players were just levling prior to wotlk, it took ages as a casual to level up, and lots of people made several alts before making it to max level. That too was content. Nowadays? You can literally get from 1-100 solo without RAF in 4 hours. Yes, 4 hours.
+Stephen Damm Bøås First off i agree fully with everything, but as a counterpoint, you needed to be at the very least decent at your class, or you couldn't even do dungeons (including normal ones), and you absolutely couldn't tank, heal or CC (which you needed 1 preferably 2 people to do), being crappy at your class would get your group killed.
+Cogger Thats why people naturally got better at their class, and eventually they could progress into low tier raiding like Kara
+Stephen Damm Bøås Fair enough, and whilst there were some dungeons that were without a doubt disproportionately hard (shadow labs, to a certain degree normal shattered halls and without a doubt heroic shattered halls etc etc) overall the system generally worked well in that it simply didn't allow you to not pull your weight. Some classes could probably have been handed some token skills simply to gain them at least a chance at a spot for some dungeons (some classes could have been handed a decent CC for example)
But in general i think the major problem lies in the fact that casuals nowadays feel significantly more entitled to have access to absolutely everything then they did before. Nowadays you see people just running a random BG now and then, doing some LFR and maybe a dungeon and then they start complaining about how there's nothing to do anymore, with still 95% of the endgame content nowhere near touched. If you got full welfare epics (which absolutely outraged people at the time, getting access to an epic level gear piece with just 25-30 BG wins, that shit was absolutely unacceptable) and then just did a couple of BGs a day during TBC and then complaining about how there's nothing to do people would've laughed in your face, but when i've logged in recently the entire game is packed with people who haven't done a single organized raid or even broken 1,6k rating and yet they say there's nothing to do, which absolutely baffles me.
It was truly great, and its gonna be great again! Who would've thought back then that its gonna be re-released?
Keep coming back to this video. Fractal with various voice clips from WoW at the end is great.
LFG was not that bad at all! You still had to whisper and get to know your group. And would see them outside of the dungeon. Now youll never see that person you played with ever again!
Ahh, back when you would actually use your friends list. I remember always having to evaluate who stayed on and who got deleted when you ran into someone new that was damn good.
Best Xpac ever, I loved TBC so much, i have good hopes for Legion though
These legacy videos are fucking brilliant
It’s interesting how attunements were seen as a great thing back when this video was made. Nowadays that’s the opposite of what most people want. It goes to show how content outside of gearing has developed over the years to the point where its finally getting to a best of both worlds
This is the kind of video I initially subscribed for. Hope you do more!
THE BEST MOTHERFUCKING EXPANSION EVER MADE!!!
I can still remember the first time I logged in to WoW when I was 12 (patch 2.1.3 I believe). When I walked through elwynn for the first time and heard that music I was hooked. No matter what private server you play on, or blizz bringing back legacy servers you will never get that same experience you had when you were young and totally immersed into that world. I remember sneaking out of my room at 1 AM just to play and watch wowhobbs. It took me 5 months just to get to level 38 because I was clueless, but it was fuckin awesome. As we get older we lose that ability to completely get lost in a game because real life happens. It's a sad fact of life but those were good memories.
This is by far my favorite preach vid. Nice describing of the feelings I had back then aswell and awesome editing/sketches :-) If I could create the "perfect" WoW it would be Zones of Classic (revamped on TBC level), Arena and Raids from TBC and Dual Specs.
I miss playing my hunter back then, you always had so much to do. I can remember double trapping pet tanking a 3rd mob and then keeping the 2rd mob trapped until they were ready to pull the next set, and here i am yelling at them on vent to kill the one still trapped. But then something changed near the end TBC and suddenly it went away and much hate was had for even trying to CC or even think i could. (tho not from guildies) But still, This is THE BEST Expansion Blizz has put out this was fun the rest have not.
Hope for more Legacy of Classes!
I genuinely love and crave these vids man. Looking back on the past and what was good/bad about them. Truly amazing, Peach. I would pay top dollar just to play these expansions again. ( vanilla/TBC )
I've watched this video all the way through like six times and I still love it.
Preach 2015: Let us love our main Blizzard.
Preach 2020: Let us love our alts Blizzard.
WotLK World Event Zombiefest was the most hilarious shit ever.
It's a shame Blizzard doesn't seem to want to do World Events anymore (the "World Events" for MoP and WoD were pathetic to say the least)
+jjilatt123 Agreed. And people mooooaned about it even though it only took place for , what 10 days?
ALl the other intros should have people getting barbecued sporadicatlly or attacked by feral pandas when in the woods.
+jjilatt123 MoP world events?? do ellaborate..
+jjilatt123 And the highlord kruul event before TBC, holy mother of god i laughed so hard when that bastard rampaged through IF
There hasn't been a video I've watched on this channel that I didn't enjoy. Please keep them coming :)
Long live Preach and Ghost!!!
AMAZING video man, brought back so many feels. Best possible memorial to TBC I could ever imagine, thank you so much.
one of my fondest memories of wow was before I even played it I was in 6th gade and my oldest friend had just got BC on launch day he had played since 2005 and he had the wow atlas,encyclopedia, beastiery,and the strategy guide for BC. the next day was our classes Mountain trip during the 6 hour bus ride everyone slept but me I spent the entire 6 hours reading every single one of them to the point where I knew more about BC mechanics than he did I then spent the 4 day trip following my dad around begging him to give an advance on my allowence for the next 3 months so I could afford the game xpac and subscription now it's 10 years later and I don't regret a single thing
legion is gonna suck. we all know it. we just won't say it.
+Michael Li Given the track record, you're likely right. It's sad to watch a video about TBC and then be reminded of what the game has become. Why did you go down this path Blizzard?!
+Michael Li Legion is gonna be good. Blizzard has been making expansions in a pattern:
Vanilla-good, BC-bad, WotLK-good, Cata-bad. MoP-good, WoD-bad, Legion-good
+Forbidden Name because seige of orgrimmar was sooo asian right?
Cold Hart hahaha *thumbs up*
+taavidude No it won't. If you go back and look at the expansion preview, you will see that they are bringing absolutely no content. Everything they announced sounds exactly the same as WoD, with addition of cosmetic shit, which are Artifact Weapons. The amount of dungeons and raids is exactly the same. They haven't announced any world content what-so-ever in the Broken Isles.
Class Legacy please! They're fucking the best videos you have done so far.
This is the best vid you've ever made Preach. I'm sure the (eventual) Wotlk one will be good, but can hear the passion in your voice when you talk about TBC.
