+warrassus we basically drive the mantis to extinction. We massacre their kind, kill their queen and then kill all their greatest warriors. Legit there'd be nothing but drones left.
Fun fact: One of the emperors would cast away the person with the highest amount of threat on him. Because of this, Warriors, the classic master tank, couldn't tank him. This gave rise to warlocks who would tank with Searing Pain, and, less known but still viable, Mage ice block tanking.
You are probably joking, but it actually kind of does. Back in the old days there were weapon skills that slowly increased when you were attacking with a specific weapon. There were target dummies since vanilla wow, but they were not attackable. Because of this, people either had to increase their weapon skills by fighting regular mobs, or they had to find a mob that was not too dangerous but essentially immortal. Iirc there were mobs like this in the Blasted Lands. Anyway, Blizzard eventually caved in and introduced attackable target dummies. They have removed weapon skills quite a while ago, but the dummies are still irreplaceable since they allow you to easily test your character's damage output.
Mikuláš Palme I wasn't actually joking, I really did refer to what you mentioned :P Played WoW from early BC all the way till mid cata then again at MoP, so I remember these things :P
Do one on the Drakonid Crusher and any other Drakonaar (the bipedal humanoid/dragon creatures that you can see around other dragons like in Wyrmrest Temple). I don't know of much lore about them, but i'm sure Nobbel knows more!
They probably decided that Veklor would summon his brother instead of the other way around because he has a a more simple way. That way the dialog needed to be changed since the first emperror needs to proclaim that the feast begins now, and the second urging us to join.
Zen I know, that is why I want a video on it. Remind you that there are HS lore videos on Annoy-o-tron, The Coin, Angry Chicken, Ogre Ninja. I want to see how nobbel will react and I want to hear him speculate Ragnaros being resurrected and joining the Army of Light.
In an alternate universe, the world and the elemental plane became corrupt by the old gods. Ragnaros was already corrupt so he became a double negative and said Live, Insect. The end.
Don't know if he can cover it in 5 minutes, as his story before MoP isn't much as far as I'm aware, but the entire expansion revolves around his influence.
Could you please do "The Ancient One"?? The card you get when you have 2 "blood of the ancient one" on the board. It seems really interesting, and I'm not sure which old god it's supposed to be (if any), and quite frankly, I didn't even know about the card (and a lot of people don't) (:
I'm pretty sure the Obsidian Destroyers used to be Tol'vir that were sent to guard C'thun's prison, but the imprisoned Old God warped them into their current state. The interesting thing is that the Nerubians also had Obsidian Destroyers that were taken by the Lich King after the War of the Spider. They were used as shock troops during the Third War, but oddly enough they never appeared in Wrath.
Their lines are not the other way around. Vek'nilash is the first who talks as the Battecry is activated before Vek'lor is summoned (as with all Battlecry cards). If there is a problem, it is with the animation that is not showing the correct order.
I love love love the old God lore. It would be amazing to find out the "Titan soul" within Azeroth was truly N'zoth the entire time and the events of Azeroth were but a game created by him to amuse himself until he could truly be born. Sargeras turning on the Pantheon everything... all of N'zoths design.
Lore after warcraft 3 and then 20 heroes killed this guy and then 40 heroes killed that guy and 25 people killed that guy will make for some awesome movie plots no doubt XD
I think the way raids are treated in lore is that major good guys (Fandral, nozdormu for cthun, Tirion for arthas, etc) lead an army of ally and horde soldiers to kill the guys rather than a small group of heroes. But it seems that it's changing after warlords and the commander stuff
That's kind've the thing about WoW, there is allot of the times no real character in lore that can take the place of "40 people". Sometimes there is, and it makes allot more sense when they do, but most times they just say "Ehh,... not important" when it's entirely important when it comes to lore.
+wh41 No, the players are acknowledged in parts of the lore in a way, simply called "adventurers" or "champions of the Horde and Alliance". I think the vanguard of named npc:s that got killed off during the WoD intro questline (and similar groups) count among these as well.
Many of the bosses are given boss mechanics for the game alone. When Arthas fought Illidan, he wasn't summoning Flames of Azzinoth or using Metamorphoses. And Arthas wasn't using any DK spells. It was a regular duel. Onyxia was killed by Varian and a few friends. Mannoroth was killed by Grommash.
How about Dreadsteed next? I know there was a questline in older wow versions where you actually had to work for it, would be great to revisit that in all its details! Also its my favourite HS card of all!
wait, but there's something that has always bothered me. So, they look like night elves, or at least humanoids of some sort. Hard to say with those masks and stuff. But they're C'Thun's most powerful servants and they are commanding Qiraji. How does that work? I thought the Qiraji hated non-insectoids?
hey nobbel recently i died in the darkmoon faire and saw a guy how says that he ran away from strom, he joined the faire as a child and he told silas darkmoon he never wanted to see his family again so strom existed 1000 years ago right so how old is silas darkmoon??
The true question about them and basically every boss in the game should be the following: How big are they lore wise? In the raid they are ridiculously oversized.
Seems to be the blood of a servant of an old god. The Ancient one looks like it might be a servant of Y'shaarj, so there might be possibly something if you want to stretch things a bit.
Hello Nobbel, will you make in the future the story of Mannoroth? (I mean for warcraft not hearthstone) I really like that big guy and i want to know more , if you can thx :D
I don't think he will respond but do the lore on the epl cause it's one of my favorite zones and what are the trolls doing there and was epl named after the town darrowshire or the other way around plz respond back thanks keep up the good work
i cant find this anywhere and i need help, can someone explain to me why warlocks have the spell unending breath? what in the lore says they can do this?
Hey Nob y' check the news tab on the B-net launcher? well one of the new Jaina pics made me think: is she being influenced by the Old Gods? My guess is N'zoth, y' know the thing who made Deathwing become Deathwing. my guess is that in a later patch or x-pac we have a raid that has us fight her and N'zoth in a epic and badass battle which finalizes in Deathwing rezzing and murdering him with fire and causing the Old God curling up into ashes which probably won't have the affect that just killing I'm outright would have. Another thing i thought of was: what if killing all the Old Gods on one planet makes it explode, BUT killing them one at a time doesn't have that affect.
Hi, Nobbel! what about the rumor that Twin Emperors are 2 parts of Fendral`s son defiled body? I saw this in ru section of wowhead, can it be true or you have proof that it`s wrong theory?
the neurubians were once cuthune's servants so when they served the lich king u think he may have learned old god secrets? or now serves them since he mines yogg sarons blood and weilds cuthunes servants why keeping the old gods world from the legion???
Well silithus was a wasteland so it just makes alot of Since to make it nice right? Fandrel didn't know about C'thun so don't blame him about this problem
In terms of power alone, IIRC, titan keepers/servants were able to deal with the other old gods, but Y'Shaarj was apparently too strong for them so Aman'thul (leader of titans) had to come down and kill Y'Shaarj. I wouldn't consider him being "so easily killed" if the leader of titans had to do it.
hey nooble you forgot the huge centuries long war between them and the troll empires that lead to the nubrians and them to become different nurbians went north and they went south

I play these cards just to hear their voices and AQ soundtracks
I'll play you just to hear your voice daddy hellscream
Oi
one of the coolest cards to play in hearthstone
Can we get the story of Xaril (The Poisoned Mind)? :D
This one is really intresting. I hope he does it. The Mantid are one of my favourite lore factions.
+Greeny I actually played through the dread wastes quests and did all the mantid ones, so sad to kill my mantid bros in SoO lol
+warrassus Ikr? They were the only fun faction to do quests for (other than dailies of course)
+warrassus we basically drive the mantis to extinction. We massacre their kind, kill their queen and then kill all their greatest warriors. Legit there'd be nothing but drones left.
Awesome lore vid man. Love the Twin Emps, C'thun and AQ in general. Has been my favorite raid since Vanilla.
Ancient of War and Ancient of Lore.
Just trees :D
+jwasher jwasher they're in the game though
Warcraft 3, barrack and towers... enough said :D
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS NOBBEL!!
Keep em up man, I enjoy em so much.
Skycap'n Kragg! Such a goofy card.
Chaaaarrrrge.

All about that mage arcane blast tanking m8
Cloth wearing tanks is such an awesome idea to me, it kind've boggles me that there isn't any tank spec for a cloth-wearing class.
Story of Target dummy next?
Why, it's just a Target dummy
Nah m8, it's got a rich history
You are probably joking, but it actually kind of does. Back in the old days there were weapon skills that slowly increased when you were attacking with a specific weapon. There were target dummies since vanilla wow, but they were not attackable.

al'akir the windlord!!!!!!!!!
Blizzard make that char RIGHT NOW
He is a char... idiot
Wow throwing the idiot insult just to feel better about your life i see.
He likely just didn't know about it, it's easy to miss or forget such a character.
Oh, he is a char in WoW? I didn't heard of him, I think. Is he maybe one of the bosses in the dungeon in the Lost City, in Uldum or?
Do one on the Drakonid Crusher and any other Drakonaar (the bipedal humanoid/dragon creatures that you can see around other dragons like in Wyrmrest Temple). I don't know of much lore about them, but i'm sure Nobbel knows more!
There is not that much lore. And alot of it isnt canon.
They probably decided that Veklor would summon his brother instead of the other way around because he has a a more simple way. That way the dialog needed to be changed since the first emperror needs to proclaim that the feast begins now, and the second urging us to join.
the way he sais the r sound is amazing
Ragnaros, Lightlord
He doesn't exist outside of hearthstone
Zen I know, that is why I want a video on it. Remind you that there are HS lore videos on Annoy-o-tron, The Coin, Angry Chicken, Ogre Ninja. I want to see how nobbel will react and I want to hear him speculate Ragnaros being resurrected and joining the Army of Light.
In an alternate universe, the world and the elemental plane became corrupt by the old gods. Ragnaros was already corrupt so he became a double negative and said Live, Insect. The end.
story of Y'Shaarj? i know blizz made their own, but i want to see your version.
Don't know if he can cover it in 5 minutes, as his story before MoP isn't much as far as I'm aware, but the entire expansion revolves around his influence.
his background is explained in Warcraft: Chronicles
Twin Emps getting one-shot-
"I'm sorry Emperor, but your Feast of Souls is in another fortress"
Clockwork Giant: I've never seen these in WoW, but then I was away for several years, and never really raided.
They were a fun fight in vanilla.. it was one of the first fights a 20+ man raid would ever do.
How about Loatheb now?
what are the obsidian destroyer arthas and sylvannas used? they'd never gone to kalimdor or AQ or silithus or uldum...
Could you please do "The Ancient One"?? The card you get when you have 2 "blood of the ancient one" on the board. It seems really interesting, and I'm not sure which old god it's supposed to be (if any), and quite frankly, I didn't even know about the card (and a lot of people don't) (:
No lore behind it.
Neil Farwoods Seriously? :s
k01dsv Of course, otherwise it wouldn't have been a random token.
I'm pretty sure the Obsidian Destroyers used to be Tol'vir that were sent to guard C'thun's prison, but the imprisoned Old God warped them into their current state. The interesting thing is that the Nerubians also had Obsidian Destroyers that were taken by the Lich King after the War of the Spider. They were used as shock troops during the Third War, but oddly enough they never appeared in Wrath.
That was a hard ass fight back in the day.
Their lines are not the other way around. Vek'nilash is the first who talks as the Battecry is activated before Vek'lor is summoned (as with all Battlecry cards). If there is a problem, it is with the animation that is not showing the correct order.
I am pretty sure that by now ben brode is messing up the images and files for the troll value.
my game is all wrong xD what a troll xD xD xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
C´Thun was never in prison. He escaped the Titans and hide in Silithus and formed his empire there.
He was imprisoned underneath silithus and eventually the prison became too weak. I also don't see how he could escape considering he has no legs lol
he can start rolling
+Diego Amoedo Hentai vehicle considering you see more tentacles in his fight than watching anime.
All old gods were imprisoned..
Y'Shaarj was killed.
I love love love the old God lore. It would be amazing to find out the "Titan soul" within Azeroth was truly N'zoth the entire time and the events of Azeroth were but a game created by him to amuse himself until he could truly be born.

"There will be pain!"
"So much pain..."
Not sure if you took my request, but this is what i requested so i'm very happy about this :D
Do Dreadsteed please! it was my favorite quest back in the day!
Nice to know about that boss, took 5weeks to down back In my day :D

Nobbel! Do a Vrykul story video! Im really curios as to where they came from.
wait, but there's something that has always bothered me. So, they look like night elves, or at least humanoids of some sort. Hard to say with those masks and stuff. But they're C'Thun's most powerful servants and they are commanding Qiraji. How does that work? I thought the Qiraji hated non-insectoids?
hey nobbel recently i died in the darkmoon faire and saw a guy how says that he ran away from strom, he joined the faire as a child and he told silas darkmoon he never wanted to see his family again so strom existed 1000 years ago right so how old is silas darkmoon??

On a serious note: Malorne?
Nobbel, when are we gong to get a video dedicated to the lore lost from the transition to Cataclysm?
The true question about them and basically every boss in the game should be the following: How big are they lore wise? In the raid they are ridiculously oversized.
Blood of the Ancient One? Not sure if there is an in game reference.
There isnt
Seems to be the blood of a servant of an old god.
The Ancient one looks like it might be a servant of Y'shaarj, so there might be possibly something if you want to stretch things a bit.

Hi, Nobbel!

I saw this in ru section of wowhead, can it be true or you have proof that it`s wrong theory?

Well, he is obsessed with trees. And most of them get corrupted in some shape or form..why does he never learn?!
Snabkol he was a druid and druids are obsessed with trees and he is just unlucky that they get corrupted
+jwasher jwasher Must've gotten so mad that he burned all those trees. JK
Weird how the Old Gods are said to bring chaos, look at the image of the black empire, looks pretty organized to me
Is there a story about deadwing?
Finally!
can you do Ysera next please
Nobbel87 I wanted to know which old god is the strongest amongst all the old gods in terms of army size/power or power alone?
I may be wrong but it is said that Y'Shaarj was the strongest.
Victor Rotciv in terms of power alone or army size ? Also, if he was the strongest how was he killed so easily ?
In terms of power alone, IIRC, titan keepers/servants were able to deal with the other old gods, but Y'Shaarj was apparently too strong for them so Aman'thul (leader of titans) had to come down and kill Y'Shaarj. I wouldn't consider him being "so easily killed" if the leader of titans had to do it.
+Fu ck What this guy said. 👆🏻
Fu ck really, didn't know.
hey nooble you forgot the huge centuries long war between them and the troll empires that lead to the nubrians and them to become different nurbians went north and they went south
