To take a permadeath on the last fight of the whole damn game and just let that wash over you and continue to lead your team... Ahmpy if you see this, you're a legend dude.
@Raoul9753 you're not wrong but I'm sure he would have preferred to get the kill cleanly. But the way he didn't panic or even raise his voice much, just ice water in his veins as he calmly gives out the calls... If it was me I'd find it very difficult to mask my emotions in such a tense moment.
Tukey a legend. Saved the raid, saved Windforce, was the only one healing Ahmpy when he went down. But the FB kick half the melee were frozen, and the MT lost aggro, it was a moment of chaos
many amphy took it like a champ. That's the way it goes. He may have died in the process, but he still lead his guild to a world first kill. Sometimes you get em, and sometimes you get got. Big respect to him and the team. He will be back re-gearing his next character in a few days anyway.
@@TheZeagon But he hasn't completed it. He died like a fool and now is like every other player back in the starting zone. But Im sure, he will mob tag and get carried to completion soon.
Ahmpy's death could not have been more dramatic and therefore epic, a perfect plot of a literary masterpiece, the end of the hero's journey, of the leader with the calm voice and iron resolve who did not hesitate for a second even after his death. It's incredible how a game mode, hardcore, can amplify the emotions felt during the gaming experience... And the emotions felt while watching it. Blizzard should give him a place next to Uther's tomb.
@@n3v3rforgott3n9most politicians do not lead and the rarely get their hands dirty. This guy was on the front lines leading. Quite impressive when you think about it
honestly there's way less emotion here than any other non-hardcore kill. Just go look at the world first kill vids for any of raid, the nerd screams and excitement are 100x more pogchamp than what this was
I mean almost, Except he didn't sacrifice himself he just moved into a bad position and died To lack of heals frost frost blast. Healers were sleeping, cause all the melee died to that blast. But ampy just dies because he moves at the wrong time. Agro or not, melee do not move if frost blast is available. And that's why!

Watching this live was a true nail-biter from start to finish. A journey that transcended the game itself. Ahmpy had felt so invincible in all the raids up until that point like out of all of the people in the groupit you never got the feeling that Ahmpy would ever hit the deck; it was just inconceivable. The moment he fell you knew it was all or nothing; It was like a movie. Maybe it wasn't the ending that Ahmpy wanted, but all things considered, it was the perfect conclusion to encapsulate the HC experience.
BTW, turkey saved the whole raid with that LOH, sickest split second decisionb. You should reach out to ahmpy and talk... see if you really knew that dude and just interview him. Dudes been a monster on my UA-cam feed lately.
Im actually did not expect that from myself, but by watching this video i ended up with tears, and its kinda mixed feeling between being happy for the fact that they did it, and the fact that few of them actually just ended their way (which is like 700+ hours) literrally laying on the main classic villian corpse.
A good raid leader remains calm throughout the chaos and Ahmpy absolutely did that, even though he died, he kept things going and they emerged victorious. o7 Ahmpy
After the ice block before Amphy died the melee had 'free movement' because KT can't iceblock twice that fast, so KT could've gotten kicked by amphy's original group
Ahmpy is the Manager everyone deserves on any real world job. Remaining fucking calm under a stressful situation like that, and leading the party to the victory even after losing a lvl60 char full of epic gear. Not blaming anyone on the spot right after dying, just remaining chill and leading the way to victory and dealing with the loss after the "project" ended. A true legend.
Honestly it's poetic that there were at least a few deaths and the GM dying during this fight. It was a hard fight and it wasn't won without some true sacrifices.
I really like the way you talk us through every bossfight. I've become very invested into WoW Classic just over a year ago so I've never been in any of these fights. The insight on the different mechanics is amazing!
The amount of investment and risk really puts you into the shoes of your character. With your life on the line, you would prepare in each and every way that you could
Mad respect to Asmon and all the players who performed at such a high level. Having gone thru Naxx so long ago, this epic raid brought me right back to a time when WoW was so much more than just a game. The time and dedication it takes to achieve something like this is more than most gamers will ever know. Having mained a pally I can tell you that landing such a clutch Loh probably saved the raid. Best feeling ever. Congrats
Bag of marbles was originally BOE until they found people leveling alts to lvl 6 to do that quest and mail the marbles to their main then deleting the character and doing it over and over. I think every starting zone had a different debuff item.
Windforce was at 25% just before getting hit down to like 4%, then after LoH he dips back down to 20% very quickly again. If that LoH had been any sooner, ie at 25%, theres a good chance he would have died, as he was just about to take another 20% hit. couple of hundreds of a second after that. Not only did the LoH save the raid, but the timing of LoH was also important.. albeit that was probably luck, but still.
We don't have the combat log to see everything that has been damaging him in that period of time. What we do see is that after Tukey did LoH on him, he also got weakened soul debuff. Which means priest(s) was/were on him, shielding and healing him. That's what saved him, because there could have been or not could have been an additional frostbolt from KT after that, depending on interrupts. To clarify, whether he would have received that "20% hit" (which you presume was inevitable and thus getting LoH'd later than earlier soaked up 1 additional hit by your interpretation, leaving 1 hit less to soak after getting LoH'd) or not, it's the healers who made the save following Tukey's LoH. If next bolt wasn't getting interrupted, healers had him; if the next bolt was getting interrupted, they're in the clear and the threat is gone for the moment. I understand what you meant, but you cannot state numerically something that is prone to rng/human factor (by this I mean critical hits and inconsistent damage taken; frostbolt on a timer along with constant auto attacks, healers' reaction and prompt decision making and his own usage of def CD's). There were multiple factors influencing the outcome, but it was all jumpstarted by timely LoH, no doubt about that. Regards
It’s insane the amount of numbers, abilities, items, stats, and TIMING all these players need to have in order to be successful. Doing a high level raid in WoW It’s like as calculated as NASA at this point.
Honestly at that point, you are trusted, and probably don’t care anymore. Because besides patchwerk, you are most likely not the one to blame for any death or wipe.
Every war has its casualties. A hard-fought victory that came at a cost. The permanent death aspect makes it feel like this is how it might have played out in the lore, which I love.
MOTW is sick, but its also fairly easy to gear a druid for tanking on the side and their main threat weapon is farmable in gnomeregan. Oh and with naxx gear rogues love druids when their hots start restoring energy. Also theres 2(!) druids at 4hm and kt.
Really glad to see some of the OGs here with Ahmpy - shoutout to Hicks, Grimmel, Itspeter, Surii, Bobka, and I'm sure many others who have different names, congrats!
What i love about classic is the notion of "Holy Trinity " is so necessary and required throughout 95% of dungeons and raids where party cooperation and composition is crucial.
Actually, if you check it, there was no interrupt, cuz every single rogue was either iced or MC'd and they were on the interrupt job there in rotation.
@@TheZeagon In theory you're not wrong, but we'll never know if they actually tried. Keep in mind casters can't get hitcapped in classic. Given this is their first Naxx run, many of the casters probably aren't even close to hitcap. Counterspell can miss. And then there's boss spell resist.
@@TheZeagon Yeah for sure. On my guild's first kill, I was hardly even dpsing as a mage. Sheeping MC-ed ppl, calling out void zones (I was also RL), checking detonate mana ranges, and interrupting frostbolts. KT is hard fight in the sense that RNG can really screw you over. Was stressful but lotsa fun lol.
This might be a coincidence but I went to boot camp a little over 10 years ago with a dude named Tripetta. We didn’t get to talk much but when we did he always talked about WoW. He actually convinced me to try the game out again. Probably unlikely but it could have been zTriplex. I’ll have to look him up later.
@@ztriplex yeah I though it would be too much of a coincidence. I want to find that dude now. See if he still plays. We’d be scrubbing the head and whispering about WoW raids 😂. Nice job on this one though.
Blizzard should give them a permanent buff that says world first hardcore nax clear or something, I’m currently doing nax on era and it’s crazy the amount of wipes on 4hm and saph
turkey really did save windforce in less than a second with the lay on hands 45:05 - 45:06 plenty time to react though as he was originally hit at 44:49 the timing itself is insane
Yeah. The timing was down to luck though, but the reaction was crazy. 100 milliseconds sooner, and Ahmphy would probably still have died after LoH, because of that extra 20% bonk. Crazy stuff
NGL I loved the Sapphiron fight. My BC guild didn't get that far in classic raids before WotLK went live and no one cared anymore. But my pet tanked one of the horsemen a couple of times and I was also a damage soaker on Patchwerk. T4 is still my favorite hunter tier set appearance wise and I never completed it. My void vault is full of tier loot and trinkets that are no longer necessary in retail that i worked so hard to get.
Man I can't believe Ahmpy died. What the. Hello? Universe? What is this. Previously I've thought that Ahmpy's leadership should basically be displayed permanently at the top of Harvard Business Review. He dies, remains completely *CALM* and keeps leading. Now it's like the entire site should just be Ahmpy's profile pics and these videos. What an absolute LEGEND.
The leader diying, some of your best players going down aswell, but, in the end, you make it. You spent days, weeks, playing with some of these characters, overcoming difficulties, making progress and achieving goals, and now some of them are gone forever minutes before the final destination. Its interesting how classic HC delivers this bittersweet feeling
My friends and I were in Asmongold's guilds Asgard and Pariah during Wrath of the Lich King. My friends were brothers who lived down the street from my house and we would all get together and play for years. Those were some of the best times of my life. One of them ended up passing away, I recently got into Season of Discovery because of this video and it's honestly the best game ever. This run for world first is one of the most inspirational things ive ever seen in gaming. Truly a motivational video. Thanks for keeping gaming interesting
CLASSIC WOW is a JOKE its a PALE COMPARISON of what the original game was, my guild couldnt defeat Nax because of how hard it was, so FEW were able to do it, and THAT made it special for those that did it.
I was using those same addons back then. I believe that black line that is running in the middle is server ticks. The melee auto attacks were monitored so you could step into range at the end of the tick and land a hit while staying out of range in-between swings. Fun times.
This is why i strongly believe that a stable endgame is not an attainable dream for hardcore. If this crazy group with everything in the game at their disposal is ripping people including their MT you better believe your ass will eventually get blown up in MC or UBRS. Don't get me wrong as someone who has a lvl 31 its very fun, but i think people have unrealistic expectations of hardcore. The game was not made with it in mind.
Of course, the game wasn’t made with it in mind, which makes these feats all the more impressive. Btw, I believe you can power level characters to 60 with Mage AoE. I need someone to confirm this.
absolute fucking legends. I was wondering what'd happen if ahmpy died, but this? this is the best possible time to go out. azeroth is saved. o7 to all the fallen heroes along the way.
No they should not. It's hardcore. If you die you die, no matter how many hours you sank into the game, no matter how far you got, no matter who you are. It's what they signed up for.
I love the thought of a bunch of people flinging marbles out of a bag and Sapphiron slips on them, causing his hit chance to go down while he's cartoonishly trying not to fall on his ass.
WTF I watched this never played wow but finished the whole 53:22 duration of this content. In the end I somewhat understand this is hard, what a god raid. WOW Hardcore.
Absolutely insane. If somebody told me in 2006 that some tryhards would clear naxx without dying once in the game after we died weeks straight on sapphiron, id have eaten a boot full of shit.
29:58 I feel this, if I'm DPS, my own personal rule is to stay behind the tank. Even there are no mobs around... Tanks are the group leads, they need to know where the mobs are, where I am, if I'm ready so he knows he's okay to pull etc etc.... DPS is his back up and should be on his flanks ready to attack after his pull.

Really glad to see some of the OGs here with Ahmpy - shoutout to Hicks, Grimmel, Itspeter, Surii, Bobka, and I'm sure many others who have different names, congrats!
Man this made me emotional, what an achievement
That paladin LAY ON HANDS 100% saved the raid sheeesh
Staysafe has a spreadsheet of everyone who died from beginning to end. Damn near two 40 man raids from one guild to beat the game
10:00 soon as I saw those guys up there on the stage I said "oh God" out loud, PTSD is a real thing
I went there once . It was an absolute nightmare wipefest I've ever experienced in 30 years of gaming
What i love about classic is the notion of "Holy Trinity " is so necessary and required throughout 95% of dungeons and raids where party cooperation and composition is crucial.
They should add grave stones with the dead legends at the entrance to KT's Room!
Managed to Kill the Final Boss in HC.
Shoutout Ztriplex thats a cool moment
😅
Actually, if you check it, there was no interrupt, cuz every single rogue was either iced or MC'd and they were on the interrupt job there in rotation.
Mage is instant cast and should have a macro to cancel cast for times like this...
In that case, the interrupters who got frozen should have communicated that mages should do the rotation
@@TheZeagon In theory you're not wrong, but we'll never know if they actually tried. Keep in mind casters can't get hitcapped in classic. Given this is their first Naxx run, many of the casters probably aren't even close to hitcap. Counterspell can miss. And then there's boss spell resist.
@@MHan789 good point, but backup kick shouldnt be failing that much that id assume all mages would mash it cause you know hc final boss prog lmaooo
@@TheZeagon Yeah for sure. On my guild's first kill, I was hardly even dpsing as a mage.
Sheeping MC-ed ppl, calling out void zones (I was also RL), checking detonate mana ranges, and interrupting frostbolts. KT is hard fight in the sense that RNG can really screw you over. Was stressful but lotsa fun lol.
"Wait! Ahmpy died with my pants!" I died😂😂
I remember the horseman being so hard. Nax holds my best memories from back then
My big takaway was that guy moving out of safezone on 4 horsemen just to teabag the two people who died. Legendary play :D
This might be a coincidence but I went to boot camp a little over 10 years ago with a dude named Tripetta. We didn’t get to talk much but when we did he always talked about WoW. He actually convinced me to try the game out again. Probably unlikely but it could have been zTriplex. I’ll have to look him up later.
If it is, don't doxx him please. Never mention real names ever.
I went to boot camp in 2017 lol, was not me fam :)
@@ztriplex yeah I though it would be too much of a coincidence. I want to find that dude now. See if he still plays. We’d be scrubbing the head and whispering about WoW raids 😂. Nice job on this one though.
@@CMDR-Cody thanks man
@@ztriplex GJ on the kill you guys are legends.
that raid-leader is a leader, calm, explaining, relaxed, has full trust in his pandawans. probably a really cool guy to work with
Blizzard should give them a permanent buff that says world first hardcore nax clear or something, I’m currently doing nax on era and it’s crazy the amount of wipes on 4hm and saph
Those encounters are so hard to organize and adjust on the fly when something goes wrong
There should be tradeable loot on death. Ransacking corpses is a part of battle.
Man this makes me really miss classic :(
turkey really did save windforce in less than a second with the lay on hands 45:05 - 45:06 plenty time to react though as he was originally hit at 44:49 the timing itself is insane
Yeah. The timing was down to luck though, but the reaction was crazy. 100 milliseconds sooner, and Ahmphy would probably still have died after LoH, because of that extra 20% bonk. Crazy stuff
Congratulations to Frontier what an amazingly impressive run! RIP to everyone who died. GG
NGL I loved the Sapphiron fight. My BC guild didn't get that far in classic raids before WotLK went live and no one cared anymore. But my pet tanked one of the horsemen a couple of times and I was also a damage soaker on Patchwerk. T4 is still my favorite hunter tier set appearance wise and I never completed it. My void vault is full of tier loot and trinkets that are no longer necessary in retail that i worked so hard to get.
Man I can't believe Ahmpy died. What the. Hello? Universe? What is this. Previously I've thought that Ahmpy's leadership should basically be displayed permanently at the top of Harvard Business Review. He dies, remains completely *CALM* and keeps leading. Now it's like the entire site should just be Ahmpy's profile pics and these videos. What an absolute LEGEND.
I'd watch a whole series of Asmon explaining raid mechanics.
Stacked is an understatement.....10 distilled wisdoms from the priest on Sapphron?
The leader diying, some of your best players going down aswell, but, in the end, you make it. You spent days, weeks, playing with some of these characters, overcoming difficulties, making progress and achieving goals, and now some of them are gone forever minutes before the final destination. Its interesting how classic HC delivers this bittersweet feeling
kinda wild to see this happen after so long, on hardcore. Congrats. Most people wont understand the sacrifices made to get there, quite impressive.
1 month and a half? lol
@mrtazza you say that way too casually
My friends and I were in Asmongold's guilds Asgard and Pariah during Wrath of the Lich King. My friends were brothers who lived down the street from my house and we would all get together and play for years. Those were some of the best times of my life. One of them ended up passing away, I recently got into Season of Discovery because of this video and it's honestly the best game ever. This run for world first is one of the most inspirational things ive ever seen in gaming. Truly a motivational video. Thanks for keeping gaming interesting
CLASSIC WOW is a JOKE its a PALE COMPARISON of what the original game was, my guild couldnt defeat Nax because of how hard it was, so FEW were able to do it, and THAT made it special for those that did it.
They have a priest in each group casting prayer of healing which heals everyone in their party.
Ahmpy truly is MVP raid leader.
I was using those same addons back then. I believe that black line that is running in the middle is server ticks. The melee auto attacks were monitored so you could step into range at the end of the tick and land a hit while staying out of range in-between swings. Fun times.
This is why i strongly believe that a stable endgame is not an attainable dream for hardcore. If this crazy group with everything in the game at their disposal is ripping people including their MT you better believe your ass will eventually get blown up in MC or UBRS. Don't get me wrong as someone who has a lvl 31 its very fun, but i think people have unrealistic expectations of hardcore. The game was not made with it in mind.
Of course, the game wasn’t made with it in mind, which makes these feats all the more impressive. Btw, I believe you can power level characters to 60 with Mage AoE. I need someone to confirm this.
@@chronology556 you can but they nerfed it years ago i think. im sure its still probably doable to some extent though
absolute fucking legends. I was wondering what'd happen if ahmpy died, but this? this is the best possible time to go out. azeroth is saved. o7 to all the fallen heroes along the way.
If @blizzard somehow honored Ahmpy and Frontier for this world first... they would be taking a step in the right direction
No they should not. It's hardcore. If you die you die, no matter how many hours you sank into the game, no matter how far you got, no matter who you are. It's what they signed up for.
@@Lufanoswhat they achieved is insane. Honoring them with something would be totally justifiable
@@dobattlers Giving them their character back wouldn't be justifiable though. As I said, it's hardcore.
@@Lufanos
Who said anything about ressing the character lmao
people already did immortal naxx runs on som
39:12 gut damn thats clean stacked raid. Just look at their positions, healers etc.
Hardcore classic is pretty damn special.
I love the thought of a bunch of people flinging marbles out of a bag and Sapphiron slips on them, causing his hit chance to go down while he's cartoonishly trying not to fall on his ass.
Ahmpy pulling through and keep leading the raid after dead... Absolute legend!
It is not death to him.. It's redemption
Man said hypotenuse.
It’s like what my Sargent said to us in Nam- “MEN! 50 of you are going in there; 25 of you aren’t coming back.”
51:47 “Hold up but what dropped??” I think 5 minutes has to be a world record for how long it took a guild to check the loot.
Most useless loot in game for hc but somehow the best lel
I wonder if they even got the loot, wasn't the loot master dead? I don't believe you can reassign loot rights after the fact
@@holysecret2 LOL if true
1:30 the chances hes talking about the same guy are slim to 0000.1% - its def not the same guy
No. It’s me. definitely the same guy lol @remek5758
I’m the only Ztriplex in WoW lol
WTF I watched this never played wow but finished the whole 53:22 duration of this content. In the end I somewhat understand this is hard, what a god raid. WOW Hardcore.
Absolutely insane. If somebody told me in 2006 that some tryhards would clear naxx without dying once in the game after we died weeks straight on sapphiron, id have eaten a boot full of shit.
29:58 I feel this, if I'm DPS, my own personal rule is to stay behind the tank. Even there are no mobs around... Tanks are the group leads, they need to know where the mobs are, where I am, if I'm ready so he knows he's okay to pull etc etc.... DPS is his back up and should be on his flanks ready to attack after his pull.
