Just adding to the Norse mythology: Vidar walked with a limp because in order to survive the encounter with Fenrir he wore a thick leather boot on one foot made from leftover shoemaker parts. This way Fenrir couldn't bite the foot off Vidar when Ragnarok, twilight of the gods, would have Vidar avenge his father Odin, by placing his foot in the mouth of the beast breaking its jaw and piecing it with his sword.
Fucking Orcbit showing up with a lore lesson! Hope you're doing well, yo. I'd love to tell the folks more details about such myths, but alas, that isn't the focus of this kind of video.
it's a pretty new thing but on the broken shore near the entrance to the tomb of sargeras you can clearly see what little remains of varian from when gul'dan made him explode. also the optional quest from the 1st broken shore event pre-legion where it ended with a woman killing herself and we took her bonnet
Probably old and already know but there is a dwarven NPC at the enterance to burning stepps from Loch Modan that will emote back to you on certain emotes. I.E. She will wave back and if you do a rude gesture she threatens you. Also in the warrior Order Hall theres old Whats-his-face the vrykul king and if you talk to him and piss him off enough he has unique voice lines that bleep out whatever nasty comments he has for you :)
That's Yimiron, mate. Arthas killed him during WC3, Arthas also killed his wife, Arthas then rezzed Yimiron, only to die from us in Wrath, he then died in the MoS Dungeon from us AGAIN, and is now forced to be our follower..... ....Holy fuck man....
I don't get all these time comments, watch it when you have the time? When I come how from work I check my notes who uploaded and watch it. I don't have to care at wich time he uploads.
With all those "immersion" fixes, I wish Blizz gave more attention to gear and mounts clipping. Like Hair going through head piece. Tail going through back piece. Robes always clipping through mounts... Not saying it is huge priority fix, but it would be nice to see that happen.
Hey Nixxiom, I got a question, how do you get these amazing slow and smooth camera movement you show in your vids ? Like at 2:52 in the thousand needles :) That would be awesome if you answer ! Keep it up, your videos are the best :)
I noticed this headturning just in the second I loged in and I am like... OMG I wanted this for so Long. finally I can just look at my talking Partner while I'am roleplaying. ;_;
One thing not many have noticed is the flower pots in the alliance inn in Dalaran. You are able to place any Legion herb in it. (Not sure if there is the same for Horde)
5:00 nixx the reason because you enter flying zone or place you take your flight when go to dala don't move look at sky it will be green when you go forward it will change
There's a couple more interesting things I recently found out that could have been added too! The Tauren Samantha Swifthoof who patrols up and down Stranglethorn(I don't play live anymore so not sure if she's still there), she was originally going to teach Tauren's their plains running ability back in vanilla. Also Azuremyst and Ghostlands are not actually where they appear on the map, they are actually floating in space near outlands, hence one of the reasons you cannot fly there. I thought those were pretty interesting anyways. :)
16.- Once you can fly in Legion, if you go to Azsuna and open the map (has to be on Azsuna's map, it doesn't appear anywhere else), you will see a tiny island in the middle of the see (western from Azsuna). If you go there flying you'll find the island full of elite murlocs, protecting a giant pearl under a boat. If you search the boat you'll find the corpses of, what I think, are gnomes, with jewelry. You can't loot anything but... The island is cool, trust me
nixxiom! the photos in scholo dont follow your character, they follow YOU the player, if u move your camera around whiles having your character stationary, the eyes follows u, creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy! gives me chill. The dead are looking at u the player directly in the eyes.
Felix Dorsch They got a minor upgrade in 7.2, the eyes have increased quality (They turned into a big ball inside our character's face, like the rest) and their underwear was also updated to legion-status
Im not talking about minor changes. Im talking about updating them. Did you see genn greymane in legion? THAT is how worgen should look like. Actual facial expressions would be nice too instead of a flapping muppet-like jaw. And have you seen a female worgen ever? Its so Incredibly bad and outdated.
the eyes have better quality and the underwear has changed. those are minor changes that do not matter. if this is all they can do, i am very disappointed. also, as far as i know, goblins still have no eyelids. what i talk about is, in case of worgen: fur, skeleton, animations, teeth, mouth interior, claws, walking animation etc. an overhaul. not just the eyes. if there was any other reason behind your comment, please elaborate instead of just telling me i missed your point.
I was playing my druid the day after the patch and while in stag form I noticed the head turn. I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise because my main is a Tauren and you don't really get to see their heads all too often. Such a cool little feature though.
The Wetlands' water not going into the ocean actually makes perfect sense, geographically. This is what happens when an area is flooded with water (like the Wetlands were after the dam was destroyed during the cataclysm) : after the soil is saturated, the water flows towards the lowest point (in altitude), once enough water reached the lowest point (usually sea or ocean) and the water fits in puddles, you usually find those empty riverbeds between the puddles and the ocean, just like in WoW. So yeah, this is a cartography error, the art team should have cut the "rivers".
Concerning number 13, the sky changes color not due to the blight machine, but because its so close to Krasus Landing, you can observe the same phenomenon in lesser degree, if you're by the wall to Krasus Landing in The Violet Hold. Or maybe the Forsaken and Kirin Tor are both working for the legion. Food for thought.
I love the head turn they put it! I don't know how many people play Brewmaster, but in that spec, you carry your polearm in a different way. Makes my monk look 10x cooler
Omg the head turning! I noticed that right after the patch and I asked my husband if that was new and he said "nah I'm pretty sure it's been in the game for a while now". Haha I thought it was new :D thanks!
It fits really nicely with Negatron that Frank Welker voiced Megatron, and also a load of voices for WoW (Y'shaarj is the best off the top of my head but there's others).
There is a quest giver named Gorge the Corpsegrinder at Garrosh's Landing in Northrend reference to the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher :D
If you fly south of Anh'Qiraj in Silithus, over the raid zone, there's a cave near the coast with a green dragon in it. No-one seems to know where it came from but given its level, I'm guessing it was a birthday surprise for one of the developer's kids.
That with the head pointing at npcs and characters that are selected was in the game back in 2001 before the alpha demo, long before the release of World of Warcraft
Something a lot of people missed was a new sign in Ironforge. "Cask 'n' Anvil", and it was added because role players on Wyrmrest Accord ( Specifically one known as Fatmike ) started a petition which led Blizzard to actually name the Tavern!
The heads of your character will turn even if you are dead. Remember in WOD, Nagrand,there is a goblin quest all about getting a goblin teen his calendar back, the quet text says it has green stains on in (or juststains dont remember)
I believe the busts that follow you wherever you go in scholomance during #2 are a reference to Disney's a haunted mansion where the busts in line do the same thing.
in WoD they made it so that when you move through waist high grass that it actually bends out of your way. It's a small detail, but I appreciate that they did it
Nixxiom there's another small feature in the broken shore ,when you walk on cockroaches you will make a sound and crush them ,you can see the blood when you crush them!
i noticed the head moving thing a few days after the patch. i was like "has this always been here?" everyone i asked about it was like " what? That's new" lol.
Another thing (that may be recent, not sure). In Eversong Woods, along the giant scar (whatever its called) when you walk over the bones and skulls, they actually depress into the ground. It's really weird.
The grass squares are the detail map. Kind of black/white texture that defines wether there should render grass or not. Low res detail map produex such effects
"World of Warcraft is a game all about killing gnomes..." Finally someone who understands me!
I'm a simple man: if I see a gnome, I just kick it in the nuts.
one of my fave quests is in uldum where you use a sun to slaughter gnomes
i used to do that back in the day.
now i gank low Level pandas every morning.
Lichlord Kazam you monster 😫
+Mai kožuh Its okay, nobody likes fat shits like pandarens!
Just adding to the Norse mythology: Vidar walked with a limp because in order to survive the encounter with Fenrir he wore a thick leather boot on one foot made from leftover shoemaker parts.

Fucking Orcbit showing up with a lore lesson! Hope you're doing well, yo. I'd love to tell the folks more details about such myths, but alas, that isn't the focus of this kind of video.
There is a time and place for Norse lore, we will find it... sometime :D I'm doing well, just busy with work. Hope you are doing well bud!
a wild Orcbit appeared. /salute
Eww norse mythology
it's a pretty new thing but on the broken shore near the entrance to the tomb of sargeras you can clearly see what little remains of varian from when gul'dan made him explode.
also the optional quest from the 1st broken shore event pre-legion where it ended with a woman killing herself and we took her bonnet
welcome to pointless top 15 with Nixxiom. I love it.
It wasn't pointless! Did you not see that fucking broken grass in Battle for Gilneas!? That shit needs to be fixed NOW! Azeroth depends on it!
Nixxiom Absolutely agree to this! Thank you btw. I knew that I couldn't be the only one bothered by this! XD
Or just teach those pesky wolves how to mow a lawn.
don't forget to donate to his patreon
@@NixxiomOnUA-cam nobody pays the tax in this region , so local goverment cant solve this problem :/ you have to deal with it!
If Jaina is a Dreadlord, and Sylvanas is Sargeras, then who's flying the plane??
BoilingHeart Tyranda?
rhonin and his ulduar speech army
it has auto-pilot... They have already invented the fel-phone so they are more advanced than us!
Illidan, obviously, he knows the way.
a snake is flying it
I always wanted the head turning since I saw this done in Star Wars The old Republic back in the days.
I think #13 is a coincidence. On the map, that area is quite close to Krasus' Landing, which has the Legion sky effect.
The undead works for the legion
Probably old and already know but there is a dwarven NPC at the enterance to burning stepps from Loch Modan that will emote back to you on certain emotes. I.E. She will wave back and if you do a rude gesture she threatens you. Also in the warrior Order Hall theres old Whats-his-face the vrykul king and if you talk to him and piss him off enough he has unique voice lines that bleep out whatever nasty comments he has for you :)
yes he curses us .skovald is a bad minion
That's Yimiron, mate.
Arthas killed him during WC3, Arthas also killed his wife, Arthas then rezzed Yimiron, only to die from us in Wrath, he then died in the MoS Dungeon from us AGAIN, and is now forced to be our follower.....
....Holy fuck man....
Kawaii Goldfish all the city guards also wave back to you!
All the guard wave and Salute I believe yes, (Didn't know that until I just tried XD) But they don't seem to reply when you have a rude gesture.
I believe you had to do a /rude to that npc by the gate to start the quest for the Searing Gorge key.
Nice seeing more variety on this channel every now and then. Keep it up, Nixxiom, and for the love of Elune, don't upload at 4AM! 😜
That's the problem with earth being round :o)
+The Echo Knight Shhhh, hey kid, wanna know a secret? It's called timezones. But don't tell anyone that you got that info from me, alright?
Jaaku DeMorgan - Nixxiom and I live in the Eastern Timezone. Don't worry, buddy, I took 6th grade science :)
Well it takes a while to uppload a video so he could have started the uppload just before going to bed.
I don't get all these time comments, watch it when you have the time? When I come how from work I check my notes who uploaded and watch it. I don't have to care at wich time he uploads.
YOUR APPEARANCE IN THE GERMAN ALDOR MACHINIMA WAS GREAT YOU ARE GREAT!!!
Number 9 gives me the chills everytime I am in the ruins and decide to listen to this. Brilliant idea
If you target a player and the do "/nosepick or picknose" something genius happens. Plus the way it's written.
i knew about the maxing out the ambient music in Lordaeron, i like the fact blizz done that
With all those "immersion" fixes, I wish Blizz gave more attention to gear and mounts clipping. Like Hair going through head piece. Tail going through back piece. Robes always clipping through mounts... Not saying it is huge priority fix, but it would be nice to see that happen.
as a tauren I second this. my tail and weapons always keep clipping through my cloak and it bothers me
Hey Nixxiom, I got a question, how do you get these amazing slow and smooth camera movement you show in your vids ? Like at 2:52 in the thousand needles :)
That would be awesome if you answer ! Keep it up, your videos are the best :)
We need more videos like these! Thank you for all your hard work!
This was very interesting, been playing since wrath and didn't know most of these, so keep them coming Nixxiom
2:08 because it isn't a river, it's just the flood water from the damn that broke.
Jacob You mean as in 'dam'?
#grammarnazi
But wasn't it all covered in water before it broke already?
Haha I think I swear to much...I didn't even notice.
Maybe it was a dam when it was still intact, but then it became a damn when it broke :p
There has been water there since Vanilla
havent played wow after a little bit of cata and im still watching almost every video of urs :) amazing person and content
Number 4 is one of the most awesome things I discovered. I was so happy they added this feature x3
Do at least one a week of these lists man it's cool asf!! :D
Was playing WoW when I watched this, tried the /read thing, it totally works, so fucking cool.
with 13 the sky turns green because that spots close to krasus landing and the sky's like that on krasus landing.
Anyone else notice the wizard 101 sound effect when number 1-15 appears?
And great video nix keep it up!
Love ur videos sooo much. Seen all of em. Keep up the amazing work nixxiom :)
Thanks Nixxiom, love your channel
I noticed this headturning just in the second I loged in and I am like... OMG I wanted this for so Long. finally I can just look at my talking Partner while I'am roleplaying. ;_;
this little change is a massive change for true MMO nerds like me
dunno i find it fucking awesome
Actually, the heads turn even if the character is dead... creepy
Oh shit, really? I gotta try this!
This freaked me out when I first noticed ;-;
lmao
Show us your findings in another video. :)
not if you are undead...
One thing not many have noticed is the flower pots in the alliance inn in Dalaran. You are able to place any Legion herb in it. (Not sure if there is the same for Horde)
Another nice video. Looking at the world map of Kalimdor and you'll notice that Azshara is shaped like the horde sign/emblem turned on it's side.
this was so Good! Loved it
These are actually things I did not know B4-4. Thanks Nixxiom!
please nixxion, do more!!!!
this video cure my asthma !
that was awesome !! GJ Dude
I liked the animation of this vid, the tone, and the comfyness!
Really enjoyed this one!
Nice video. What was that tavern sounding music at the end?
5:00 nixx the reason because you enter flying zone or place you take your flight when go to dala don't move look at sky it will be green when you go forward it will change

Doing the /dance emote to the ghostly citizens in old Stratholme back in the day was neat since they would emote back at you, even in combat.
nixxiom! the photos in scholo dont follow your character, they follow YOU the player, if u move your camera around whiles having your character stationary, the eyes follows u, creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy! gives me chill. The dead are looking at u the player directly in the eyes.
You did a good job pronouncing Vidar!
Hello from Norway!
1 thing that blizzard missed in world of warcraft WoD to legion: updating the fucking cataclysm character models, especially worgen.
Felix Dorsch
They got a minor upgrade in 7.2, the eyes have increased quality (They turned into a big ball inside our character's face, like the rest) and their underwear was also updated to legion-status
Im not talking about minor changes. Im talking about updating them. Did you see genn greymane in legion? THAT is how worgen should look like. Actual facial expressions would be nice too instead of a flapping muppet-like jaw. And have you seen a female worgen ever? Its so Incredibly bad and outdated.
Then, you didnt even notice the reason behind my comment.
the eyes have better quality and the underwear has changed. those are minor changes that do not matter. if this is all they can do, i am very disappointed. also, as far as i know, goblins still have no eyelids.
what i talk about is, in case of worgen: fur, skeleton, animations, teeth, mouth interior, claws, walking animation etc. an overhaul. not just the eyes. if there was any other reason behind your comment, please elaborate instead of just telling me i missed your point.
Yet again, you missed it completely, the fact that eyes are now animated, and the update on the underwear mens an update is close.
Epic music at the end man!!!! In love
the sky turns legion when you're standing near that forsaken thingie, because it's really close to Krasus' Landing where sky is legion
I was playing my druid the day after the patch and while in stag form I noticed the head turn. I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise because my main is a Tauren and you don't really get to see their heads all too often. Such a cool little feature though.

So yeah, this is a cartography error, the art team should have cut the "rivers".
I think you can see the Val Sharah crack in the instance, especially in uroc off the edge of the cliff
0:50 is actually also a nice reference to the tv show Lost :D
the head turning!! I noticed that this week, my char did it once. I thought it was strange, but thought nothing of it until now. XD
Concerning number 13, the sky changes color not due to the blight machine, but because its so close to Krasus Landing, you can observe the same phenomenon in lesser degree, if you're by the wall to Krasus Landing in The Violet Hold. Or maybe the Forsaken and Kirin Tor are both working for the legion. Food for thought.
RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
A countdown list, great content Kappa
I love the head turn they put it! I don't know how many people play Brewmaster, but in that spec, you carry your polearm in a different way. Makes my monk look 10x cooler
gj nix. most of these were great mentions.
i like it when i discover new creepy things inside warcraft :D thanks nixxiom !
Omg the head turning! I noticed that right after the patch and I asked my husband if that was new and he said "nah I'm pretty sure it's been in the game for a while now". Haha I thought it was new :D thanks!
This video was AWESOME!! ISNU ALAH
I also like that your character turns its head when you right click drag the camera
I knew 4 out of these 15. Very nice findings
I noticed the head movement right away, i find it awsome
It fits really nicely with Negatron that Frank Welker voiced Megatron, and also a load of voices for WoW (Y'shaarj is the best off the top of my head but there's others).
"ever notice all the pinup's of goblins inside their homes showing off you know...there stuff....i like it" i died XD
pls do more, this is awasome !
oh this is very cool Nix! I didn't know most of these things
There is a quest giver named Gorge the Corpsegrinder at Garrosh's Landing in Northrend reference to the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher :D
The diblo frames looks real good!
The mechanic in number 10 was already in Garrisons in WoD. But actually it's nice they added it to Dalaran.
If you fly south of Anh'Qiraj in Silithus, over the raid zone, there's a cave near the coast with a green dragon in it. No-one seems to know where it came from but given its level, I'm guessing it was a birthday surprise for one of the developer's kids.
The outro music is sooooooo good :3
That with the head pointing at npcs and characters that are selected was in the game back in 2001 before the alpha demo, long before the release of World of Warcraft
For the Lordaeron part, there is also whispers from the meeting where Medivh comes to warn them
Something a lot of people missed was a new sign in Ironforge. "Cask 'n' Anvil", and it was added because role players on Wyrmrest Accord ( Specifically one known as Fatmike ) started a petition which led Blizzard to actually name the Tavern!
Well finally !
The heads turn ! oh my god yes !
Nice. Most of these I hadn't noticed
the fact that the bank in darnassus is a giant bear with an eagle on it. I took me a decade to notice that
The heads of your character will turn even if you are dead.
Remember in WOD, Nagrand,there is a goblin quest all about getting a goblin teen his calendar back, the quet text says it has green stains on in (or juststains dont remember)
The green sky near the blight machine might be because of the vicinity to the Terrace of Krasus (Which has that same skybox)
I believe the busts that follow you wherever you go in scholomance during #2 are a reference to Disney's a haunted mansion where the busts in line do the same thing.
Do more videos like this Nixx, it was good
i freaking love these! more more more!
don't forget about the Rambo themed questline near the lake where you ultimately get his red headband as a reward.
Actually in these kinds of videos i find like 1 thing that i dont actually know. But this time there was like 8 things i didint know good job
Does anyone know that in highmountain under the tauren city the floor in the midle is a huge drum and when you jump on it makes sounds.Anyone?
awesome work!
in WoD they made it so that when you move through waist high grass that it actually bends out of your way. It's a small detail, but I appreciate that they did it
wretched17 it's all the small details stacked on top of each other that makes a game feel great and immersive.
Nixxiom there's another small feature in the broken shore ,when you walk on cockroaches you will make a sound and crush them ,you can see the blood when you crush them!
good call bro. only knew of the undercity whispers.
A note about your number 10, they also did that is the garrisons in WOD.
1:14 Those cannons rendering in the distance are pretty creepy indeed.
i noticed the head moving thing a few days after the patch. i was like "has this always been here?" everyone i asked about it was like " what? That's new" lol.
Baine Bloodhoof in Thunder Bluff has a line saying: "We have a lot to learn from the Highmountain tribe." I'm assuming that's new
I actually noticed the head turning thing 2 days ago during a guild raid xD
Another thing (that may be recent, not sure). In Eversong Woods, along the giant scar (whatever its called) when you walk over the bones and skulls, they actually depress into the ground. It's really weird.
Have you tried the new Inky Black Potion Nixxiom? Makes the game feel much more immersive and looks amazing.
3:00 I KNEW IT
I KNEW THAT ONE DAY SOMEBODY WOULD NOTICE
I like it ;)
EDIT: PLEASE do more of these videos! :D
4:54 This has aged like fine wine.
That with number 10: It's actually from Garrisons, they did that back in WoD aswell!
The grass squares are the detail map. Kind of black/white texture that defines wether there should render grass or not. Low res detail map produex such effects
