    I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact tha Hayven passed away. His channel was literally my favorite. He was the only RUclipsr of his kind. He will be missed for as long as the game lives and beyond.

    @yeast7485 8 лет назад +108

    I like the Xavius area, it aint that bad. Before the fight when you see Nighmarish creatures walking towards you, and there is nowhere to run, pretty frightening

    • @Maru-et6of
      @Maru-et6of 8 лет назад +20

      I want to agree! To be honest, I think that zone is really unsettling. From my point of view it is like a visual representation of the concept of nothingness. Which is so fitting for a nightmare, given that I can't think of anything more disturbing than literal nothingness. Yes it is not very detailed, but this lack of basically anything, besides the mobs is what makes it to me personally very creepy

    • @Wesed35
      @Wesed35 8 лет назад +14

      Yeah. I think that was totally intended, and I love it. Its simplicty definitely made the encounter for me. As the final boss, he's kind of expected to top everything you've faced so far, and I feel like it would have been made less if they had invested tons of art resources to try to blow you away with how scary and corrupted his room is. Since the entire raid takes place in the Dream, it makes sense that the heart of the nightmare would be the most sub-concious part of your mind.

    • @malletin
      @malletin 8 лет назад +7

      The lack of details makes my framerate skyrocket so I love the room!
      Also while the room is featureless the skybox sure isn't.
      And in general I do think the empty expanse of fog all around you really adds to the feeling of dropping down into the middle of nightmare lords domain with all his minion coming at you from all angles.

    • @Grayeques
      @Grayeques 7 лет назад +6

      I would have liked if they added features just to keep it from feeling like an unfinished grey box. Having the ground be moving as if standing on constantly shifting thick fog or something living would have been nice. Maybe also having massive moving roots and tentacles being far enough in the fog to only vaguely be seen would have given the impression of something massive and impending lurking in the distance.

    @IllidanS4 8 лет назад +1

    The Emerald Nightmare is called this way because it's the corruption of the Emerald Dream, which is of course green. Red is a relatively recent decision for the Nightmare though, as in prior descriptions like in the Stormrage novel or older quests, it was described as dark foggy green.

    The Emerald Dream is green, since it is the natural state of how Azeroth was intended to be. The Emerald Nightmare is red, for it has been corrupted and twisted into a nightmare by the Old Gods.
    The difference between the two can easily be spotted by first looking into the raid, and then the final zone of the raid, which is the Emerald Dream.
