Captain Grim

Hey! Hope you spent your holidays all good! Now... Rant time. I want to start this off with that while I don't really play WoW right now, I have been keeping a close eye on the WoW Classic scene and talking with people regarding they're experiences, and.. wow.. I don't know man, I really enjoyed the Classic concept at first but then slowly problems kept piling up that really could be solved if Blizzard just played SOME attention.

Kazzak's invasion on Stormwind, along with the Corrupted Blood incident, have to be my favourite player-made events in WoW's history. Definitely the most notorious ones in my eyes. Initially I wanted to make the video about the general tradition of pulling bosses to player hubs but at the end decided that it would be the most fun to focus on the most popular case of it.

Personally, I gotta say I've never been the biggest Hardcore/Ironman challenge enthusiast! I guess I just get too attached to my characters but also usually barely pay attention to my screen when playing. But I have to say, some of the things I've seen players go through during the trend of hardcore through Classic WoW, have been hilarious. Personally, I've played a bit myself and the first issue I ran into was the layers phasing around me while in areas full of hostile mobs. Like WHAT?!?!!? That's so ridiculous but I found it pretty silly. And also the whole thing with opposing faction players trying to trick people into attacking them/their pets in various ways so they get flagged for PvP and then killed is.... chef's kiss. Perfection. Stuff like that have to be my favourite things in a game such as WoW, so I just thought I had to include that into a video of mine somewhere.

Now, I know there's a lot happening in the lore and story of WoW vanilla, the base game. You fight big bad guy after big bad guy. Very confusing how that happens I know, so naturally, as the prominent WoW lore youtuber that I am, I have decided to bring you clarity today. With this short and insightful summary of the events that transpire in vanilla, you can feel further inspired and motivated once you actually confront these foes yourself :) No problem.

I remember when I was young and I was still getting into WoW, I would look up any videos or posts online where people discussed their theories and speculations on what certain stuff could be in the game. The world of Warcraft is huge after all. Many vague things and mysteries with a lot of implications. These mysteries made the game feel that much more immersive to me, giving it a hint of realism even to such a strong fantasy setting. But as I got absorbed by all of these mysteries, time passed, and before I knew it - some of them had been finally revealed or confirmed. Blizzard basically loved to put random hooks in the world here and there and would eventually pick up on some of them. And this is why I decided to make this video, to take a look at some of these more notable mysteries in perspective and how they turned out after Blizzard finally decided to expand on them. Though, at the end of the day I think it's nice for us to finally get some information on many of these myths.

I honestly wasn't planning on trying out Season of Discovery, but I had just bought a subscription with gold since I needed footage for the previous video so I decided to briefly give it a go. That basically gave me enough material to say "eh let's do it" and make a quick video about it. Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. I kind of feel like it's interesting to try and go for lower level caps for different phases, but most of the runes are not really something too inspiring, as they're just mainly retail abilities/ passives. Some classes just become extra op with the help of the extra options provided by runes. I just want more wacky stuff personally, something like - every single spell you cast as a mage is completely random and can be from any class. I just want to see them go crazy with it. But I suppose we'll see how it develops further on.
