I think there were people in both camps. I liked the long dungeons while leveling. It made for a nice experience, especially when you were new to them. They felt epic. Some of my best memories from vanilla WoW were exploring these huge places, getting lost, and just having a great time.
not rly,it could still work,a vanila item gives 15 str and 1% crit,a tbc items could have been 40 str and 1% crit,you still would go for the tbc one,even if you filled up on old crit gear,whats the point in doing 100% crits whent they end up weaker than non crits with tbc stats
I’m only a few minutes into the video and he’s talking about “wing dungeons” and what came to mind immediately was the dungeons in Hellfire Peninsula. I could imagine those (3?) dungeons all being together in one instance instead of being separated. There was a fair bit of that in TBC, if I remember correctly, with multiple dungeons being right next to/near each other. Then we got it again in Wrath a few times too. I never really thought about that before.
My RL buddy and I somehow met this random Ally near Org and I showed this guy, while not being able to communicate with him, how to wall walk/jump over to get to the area under Org. It was one of the best gaming moments I'll ever have.
@CAWC971 you could kinda glitch out of bounds and end up in this area underneath the city where it's just flat and orgrimmar is above you, I think that's what he talking about
I really appreciate that you actually put out these videos man! Struggle to sleep at night and for some reason WoW related content is really soothing, and as earlier mentioned on a video, you have a very fitting voice for "Go to sleep" content
I found a zone during tbc while wall jumping. From the spot where you could fall through the wall outside the stormwind inn, if you ran far enough you’d hit a valley that was just a valley that was just a flat green colored texture over everything. It was called the emerald dream on the mini map.
I want an MMO all about those "run ten zones away and swim half a mile to find a secret chest" between two rocks" quests, they were my favorite. Like the Linken's Sword quests, I loved those.
I love to listen to this while I do other things. Then something catches my attention and I tab back to watch - impressive you spent 6 hours on this video!
Yea it’s kind of weird all the little facts and memories we hold from that era of the game lol. I’m glad this video brought back some of that nostalgia
This was a wild trip down memory lane. Started playing back in 2005, stopped in 2015 and have just started playing again. It's fascinating to see just how much have changed during my hiatus.
I had like.. 4-5 year break from WoW (coz SL happened and Financial reasons) but i still watched Hiru's videos. Now i got back and all the knowledge from Hiru's videos is paying off.
I don't know why they didn't just put the hypothetical "South Seas" expansion on a different world layer like they did Outland, but still make it appear like it's part of Azeroth. This was absolutely possible, because as you explained they literally did that with the Draenei and Blood Elf starting zones. I think doing a "lower stakes" adventure-like expansion like that first would have been great for WoW's progression long-term. Looking back, it definitely feels like a mistake that they blew through almost all of the biggest plot threads left hanging by Warcraft 3. Illidan and the Outland gang, and Arthas in Northrend feel like they were "spent" too early at this point in the narrative.
3:18:00 Yeah I remember failing to mine ore. IIRC when you hovered with your mouse over the ore, you had a colored text from like grey to white to yellow to orange to red or something, representing the difficulty for you to mine it. Grey/white was always a success whereas yellow and orange had a fail chance and red wasn't mineable yet.
My all time favourite dungeon is Blackrock Depths. I have done it (full clear) hundreds of times, during classic I use to heal it for fun daily. All dungeons should be that epic!
this is the most insane timimg. after a year ive again found my passion for this game. saw the retail version yesterday, well ,slept to it. and now this?
Another almost as big advantage to weapon skill not mentioned in the video is that it lowers the miss chance against enemies, so you do not need to gather +hit on as much gear.
I fell asleep around the 40-minute mark, if I had to guess? Guess I have good sleep-inducement for the next good while! As I was drifting off, I was able to think, "yeah, I knew that" or "oh? I thought it was because X, not Y, good to know!" and it was SOOOOOO relaxing.
I love these videos sososo much even if I don’t really play wow much anymore, I still grew up with it and I’m very happy to watch/fall asleep to these! You sure know your audience!! XD
I’m gobsmacked. You have so much knowledge. I do wish I’d experienced the plague back then. I did experience kiting some trex to storm wind with a bunch of people until that was stopped. Ty
I've watched the whole thing while at work. There's a lot of stuff being said twice but generally it was a very entertaining video to multitasking to. I personally liked the stuff about wow classic and even beta and the things they wanted the game to be or the ideas they had; the most
Well then good news! Check out Classic's upcoming Season of Discovery, which is launching at the end of the month on November 30th. With the way it's structured, it may literally be the best time in the history of the game to get back into WoW. Plus, you get the great vanilla world experience with more modernized gameplay for the classes; think WotLK era class design in vanilla.
Retail WoW is much more new player friendly or returning player friendly. And if you do play just remember to wear socks for maximum comfort for your enjoyment
For those of us that played RPGs in the 80's and 90's (Dragon Warrior/Quest, Final Fantasy, etc.), we remember the days of no map at all. It was meant to be an adventure that you had to read. You would go from town to town talking to NPCs and try to piece a story together. Strategy guides were sold separately. And the part about hardware limitation (and internet speeds for that matter)- probably had a lot more to do with decisions being made than people realize. I am still amazed that they were able to get a MMORPG to take off in the early 2000's. People these days don't realize how big of a deal that actually was at that time, now that pretty much every game involves playing with peers. At the time, this was fairly new- especially on a massive scale like WoW. Hell, even playing Starfox with 3 others seemed cool. Jumping on WoW with THOUSANDS of people seemed unbelievable.
Hey, Classic wow speedrunner here. Edgemasters are very very good, but not really for the glancing blow damage increase. Don't get me wrong, it's super nice, but the real reason people want edgemasters is the hit chance that weapon skill gives. Because raid and dungeon bosses (mobs with a skull as their level) are technically lvl 63, they have a defense skill of 315. That is the exact breakpoint were you start getting massive reductions to hit against a mob if you only have 300 wep skill, 3% to be exact. So when you equip edgemasters you ALSO get an extra 3% hit chance against lvl 63 mobs. There are a couple of pieces of gear in the game that give 1-4 weapon skill, but they are never used except in situations where you are already getting weapon skill from something else. Think maladath from bwl, its +4 sword skill but you will never see a warrior with JUST maladath unless they are a human because humans already have +5 sword skill. Any other race with just maladath will not have the full +5 skill needed to get the +3 hit, so you just dont see it unless they buy it from a gdkp and dont know why its not good for them by itself. This is why on horde side youll only see warriors with edgemasters OR rogues have maladath. Rogues get +5 swords from their talents and so basically have a free edgemasters baked into their talents. Whereas on alliance youll see basically any human warrior have maladath and NOT have edgemasters. Human rogues have +10 swords, aka a bit overkill (but maladath is still good dps so youll still see some rogues with it just because). And nonhuman rogues never get maladath and are expected to go daggers a lot of the time because the human racial pushes them to just be better investments for swords (this is because the glancing blow damage increase, like I said it is still pretty dang good so if youre gonna have a sword rogue might as well make it a human). And nonhuman warriors usually dont get maladath at all unless they already have edgemasters. The hit , combined with the glancing blow thing, pushes edgemasters above almost any other gloves in the game. BUT you would only want to wear them for lvl 63 enemies. And in fact you see a lot of warriors unequip their edgemasters for trash because tanks want extra defense since their edgeies arent doing much, and dps would rather throw on tier 1 gloves or something to actually get some hit back since all trash is 310 defense skill, making 305 weapon skill unnecessary against them, aka edgemasters do almost nothing for mobs below lvl 63. Youre actually way less likely to get glancing blows against 62 mobs and lower. That glancing blow chart you had in the video is actually a chart specifically for lvl 63 mobs. This is why its an unspoken rule for warrior leveling to not fight mobs higher than 1 or maybe 2 levels above you: the miss chance and the glancing blow chance makes you do way less damage. EDIT: I didnt quite realize how old some of these videos were when I commented this, but ill leave it up because I think its interesting.
This is the best wow channel on the internet, I have learned so much from this channel and him, he is so underrated and it breaks my heart to see him not get more success especially with how much his videos are full of full effort, time, research, love, and passion. Keep it up bro, we love you and you are doing amazing.
2:35:00 there were also blue quivers like from AV, which had the same haste bonus as the epic one, just with 16 bagslots instead of 18, huge gold saver.
Can confirm that the Defias pillager fireball can in fact crit. I've leveled basically every class except priest in SoD and have been oneshot (or nearly oneshot) by that thing because it crit a couple of times.
That's why line of sight was a very important tactic. As well as other tactics for questing. Playing a mage, I always had to figure out how I was going to CC gnolls or murlocs to keep them from running to get their buddies at 20% health.
You mentioned noggenfogger... my all time favorite run in with this was when a gnome used pygmy potions and dropped a small feast in WotLK Warsong Gulch... then drank a noggenfogger and turned into the deadliest pebble I have ever seen in my life. Best part was watching people freak out when they couldn't target him.
It's really funny hearing their design philosophy on dungeons early on. I've been to several dungeons where there just aren't enough drops or even enemies for people to complete the dungeon quests in one go. Wild.
I used your videos back in 2018 to sleep for college. Had a lot of trouble sleeping, but your voice somehow always helped. I wish this compilation was released back then! Good stuff
BRD, man... I remember that area with Bael'Gar... I played a female dwarf rogue and I used to sneak into Blackrock Depths to pickpocket all the dwarves and explore the massive zone 😅 I was obsessed with the Dark Iron Dwarves...
This reminds me of Nobbel's vids and how I used to relax to them and sometimes even fall asleep. You don't trill your R's like he does, but your voice is soothing enough. Not only was Master Conjurer bad, but basically no one played Demo until WoTLK anyways. One little known, never talked about OP spell in Vanilla, especially towards the end of vanilla was Soulfire. Yes it consumed a soulshard, but as a geared warlock you could 1 shot players with just that spell on crit. I would farm bags full of shards just to go into AB with my guild (BL at the time) and laugh hysterically every time I crit with SF. Last thing (maybe lol)- in the manual I remember it pointing out some common terms used in MMo's. Like "noob" for example lol.
about the fishing contest to the the ring or the trinket, there is some kind of trick out for a while... and this works with a char in the leveling phase. When you are timewalking in another phase you rare get any contesters agains you. So you got there at low level and just win the contest solo.
the mind control helmet was goofy in tbc, it made the target a pet if succesful, pets ignore elevation collision, so if you found someone near a cliff and surprised them with the helmet, you could get on your flying mount to fly them way up somewhere wack and kill them, leaving them confounded
Also, thank you for pointing out very clearly when something is just a rumor. There are a LOT of "facts" about video games that are really just rumors, and it's not just video games. It's funny, many hoped (and many also feared) that the internet would put an end to all rumors with how easy it would be to fact check things. Yet still there are so many popular stories similar to the one about the angry developers that, when you actually bother to Google around for a few minutes, turn out to be nothing but speculation in random old forum threads or on old Reddit posts.
I’ve only played up to lvl 15 in the free demo and never tried it again. But I love hearing people talk about it. A silent observer, so I’m grateful for this, ☺️
@1:18:40 Wall Walking. i did this to the point where i was on top of the AH in IF, as an Undead Aff Lock. i had LOS on almost everyone, but they didnt have it on me. so i would dot eveyone that i could. i did this too much on day. got a free teleport to UC next to Sylvanas, while a GM gave me a talking to. a few weeks went by. i was doing it again, but in SW. on top of the building across from the AH. this time, i was DC'd by a GM and got a message; you have been banned for 4 weeks. Reason: multiple exploits to break the TOS of the game. a month later when i got back online, i got a free teleport to the gates of AQ and all my items were removed from my bags, gold and gear included and it was put into my bank. and i got a letter in the mailbox from the same GM, "all your possessions are in your bank, in one of your factions main cities. That last part, THAT, is what broke me from doing things i shouldn't. that was a very, very long walk back to Org. No mounts, no gear, no gold for a wyvern.
with the gnomish mind control helmet you would count as a pet so you could use eyes of the beast to control someone for longer, oh and when it ended it disconnect the player
Thank you for posting this! It's actually helped my health immensely as I play this while I sleep. I've got a JBL Charge that it just plays through (that's plugged in) while I sleep. Just wish you had made the video or facts just a bit longer, so I could have a full video to sleep through. One issue I've noticed though (and if anyone else has noticed), is that when I wake up from my alarm, I'm unfortunately repeating some of the facts repeatedly until I completely wake up. Has anyone else had this issue?
i'm ready for more 6 hours of random content i'm kinda unable to play wow for now and these videos gave me such a good distraction edit: i always forget to write the rest of the sentence
I’m about to acquire a ton of unconscious info
You are funny. ❤😂
Sad to say, this isn't how it works. You will, however, develop a mad crush on hiru.
😂 she will fall in love with a voice?
@JakobusMaximus I fall asleep listening to Neil degrasse tyson all the time. What you say is accurate.
I take it turning down the Mana requirement or removing it completely was not an option?
This was suppose to put me to sleep, but now I'm just gonna be listening for 6 hours
Same LOL
You still up?
Ikr shii

oh me too im finna listen to it while game binging or drawing
I don't think people hated long dungeons. They hated FARMING long dungeons.
I love long dungeons, some of the best content.
The whole game is based around farming

Yeah, he is SUPER off about the first point regarding "long" dungeons. Very wrong there!
There are very few dungeons that I remember well that were not classic dungeons. They were adventures and iconic memories.

The "bad zone design" actually made the barrens absilutely amazing tho.
yeah his take on barrens is trash.

great times

I took it a step further and slept to the lore
What does slept on mean?

really like the non-streamlined itemization of vanilla. Not really scalable to expansions, but for the scope of vanilla, it worked really well.

Yeah but sadly it seems like they abandoned that philosophy after wrath. TBC it was all over the place, nearly all of their dungeons were in clusters.
My RL buddy and I somehow met this random Ally near Org and I showed this guy, while not being able to communicate with him, how to wall walk/jump over to get to the area under Org. It was one of the best gaming moments I'll ever have.
In the cleft of shadows ? Is that the area under orgrimmar ? If not I'm confused.
@CAWC971 you could kinda glitch out of bounds and end up in this area underneath the city where it's just flat and orgrimmar is above you, I think that's what he talking about
@@PoopSockJohnson yeah that's where I was. There were a lot of cool out of bounds places you could get to in vanilla

fell asleep when it started, woke up as it got to number 1. Brilliant video. definitely going to watch this 20+ more times.
I miss wallwalking, i used to spend my majority of time doing this all over the world. Was great to see it mentioned in the video.
You brought me back to the mid 00s with this one! i thought this was an unreleased Paramore song when someone played this for me
In the early days, it was a privilege to get in a dungeon group.

It's really funny hearing their design philosophy on dungeons early on. I've been to several dungeons where there just aren't enough drops or even enemies for people to complete the dungeon quests in one go. Wild.
I’m loving all these long sleep videos
I used your videos back in 2018 to sleep for college. Had a lot of trouble sleeping, but your voice somehow always helped. I wish this compilation was released back then! Good stuff
I love dropping my phone or smashing my face with my phone falling asleep to these ❤️
BRD, man... I remember that area with Bael'Gar... I played a female dwarf rogue and I used to sneak into Blackrock Depths to pickpocket all the dwarves and explore the massive zone 😅 I was obsessed with the Dark Iron Dwarves...
This reminds me of Nobbel's vids and how I used to relax to them and sometimes even fall asleep. You don't trill your R's like he does, but your voice is soothing enough. Not only was Master Conjurer bad, but basically no one played Demo until WoTLK anyways. One little known, never talked about OP spell in Vanilla, especially towards the end of vanilla was Soulfire. Yes it consumed a soulshard, but as a geared warlock you could 1 shot players with just that spell on crit. I would farm bags full of shards just to go into AB with my guild (BL at the time) and laugh hysterically every time I crit with SF. Last thing (maybe lol)- in the manual I remember it pointing out some common terms used in MMo's. Like "noob" for example lol.
I'm asleep right now listening to this :D
I've been watching your facts videos since middle school. I'm well into college now. Thank you for always fueling my comeback to warcraft
Just what I was looking for 5 minutes ago.
BRD was so beyond epic
every everquest dungeon was like that man, it was awesome, but... no instances, so hardcore players were really annoying
@@user-vv1io2hn3s I know what old school Ever quest dungeons are like. very dissimilar.
Thanks, makes a change from the usual iceberg videos I listen too when trying to sleep.
I don’t know how did youtube algorithm found exactly the video I needed, but Im pretty happy it did.
i love this concept, what a way to be introduced to your channel
about the fishing contest to the the ring or the trinket, there is some kind of trick out for a while... and this works with a char in the leveling phase.
When you are timewalking in another phase you rare get any contesters agains you. So you got there at low level and just win the contest solo.
pretty much instantly fell asleep and woke up 5 minutes before ending! magical
the mind control helmet was goofy in tbc, it made the target a pet if succesful, pets ignore elevation collision, so if you found someone near a cliff and surprised them with the helmet, you could get on your flying mount to fly them way up somewhere wack and kill them, leaving them confounded
he really streched the video over 10 mins for the ad money...
And you bots keep stretching this overused joke
Don't listen to this other guy this comment is funny cuz it's 6 hours long lol
@@PoopSockJohnsonIf you're retarded sure.
Also, thank you for pointing out very clearly when something is just a rumor. There are a LOT of "facts" about video games that are really just rumors, and it's not just video games. It's funny, many hoped (and many also feared) that the internet would put an end to all rumors with how easy it would be to fact check things. Yet still there are so many popular stories similar to the one about the angry developers that, when you actually bother to Google around for a few minutes, turn out to be nothing but speculation in random old forum threads or on old Reddit posts.
I’ve only played up to lvl 15 in the free demo and never tried it again. But I love hearing people talk about it. A silent observer, so I’m grateful for this, ☺️

>wall walking
When feared you can still walk over and through walls. Tested it everywhere in WotLK, it works even in dungeons or raids.
Love vids like this. Dangerous though, they remind me of stuff I loved about the game and tempt me to resubb
2 hours and 48 minutes of consciously gaining WoW Knowledge and still going!
You legit just gave so many people some good headphone content for a whole 8hr shift of work.
3hrs in…wait a minute, I don’t play wow 😳
Wall walking was the one thing i really wish they still had in classic. I spent at least 1/3rd of my time back in vanilla/BC doing it at random places
@1:18:40 Wall Walking. i did this to the point where i was on top of the AH in IF, as an Undead Aff Lock. i had LOS on almost everyone, but they didnt have it on me. so i would dot eveyone that i could. i did this too much on day. got a free teleport to UC next to Sylvanas, while a GM gave me a talking to. a few weeks went by. i was doing it again, but in SW. on top of the building across from the AH. this time, i was DC'd by a GM and got a message; you have been banned for 4 weeks. Reason: multiple exploits to break the TOS of the game. a month later when i got back online, i got a free teleport to the gates of AQ and all my items were removed from my bags, gold and gear included and it was put into my bank. and i got a letter in the mailbox from the same GM, "all your possessions are in your bank, in one of your factions main cities. That last part, THAT, is what broke me from doing things i shouldn't. that was a very, very long walk back to Org. No mounts, no gear, no gold for a wyvern.
2:40 lol they are right that people thought the mushrooms in WC were just decoration...because i certainly never noticed xD
Also, Eric and Olaf and Baelog 9:45 , throwback to the Three Vikings!
with the gnomish mind control helmet you would count as a pet so you could use eyes of the beast to control someone for longer, oh and when it ended it disconnect the player
That is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for posting this! It's actually helped my health immensely as I play this while I sleep. I've got a JBL Charge that it just plays through (that's plugged in) while I sleep. Just wish you had made the video or facts just a bit longer, so I could have a full video to sleep through.
One issue I've noticed though (and if anyone else has noticed), is that when I wake up from my alarm, I'm unfortunately repeating some of the facts repeatedly until I completely wake up. Has anyone else had this issue?
I want my orignial sucken temple back. Those old dungeons were amazing.
I’m starting a *Sleep Party* I’m looking for a Mage with 110% Sleep & some Guardian Warriors to keep me asleep. Anyone want to join my sleep raid? 🦆
I've listened to all of it while working, thanks
i'm ready for more 6 hours of random content
i'm kinda unable to play wow for now and these videos gave me such a good distraction
edit: i always forget to write the rest of the sentence
54:29
Tell that person in the background, God bless you! That was a loud ass sneeze 🤧
I watched the whole thing, i need more of these!
3:37:17 THIS just made my day
