Rewatching all of Cranius' videos. So much nostalgia. When I was a clicker noob playing on private servers, exploring the game and finding new things every single day. Good times. Wish I could experience being new to WoW once more...
I too come back to watch again, this is some of the best editing, best story telling in WOW. Nobody's doing this any more, and with this kind of work as the bar, maybe that's understandable.
This game makes me feel like an old man...anyone remember the days where level 40 was a huge deal, where you saved all your money to get that shitty first mount that u were ecstatic about?
I remember not knowing shit on my paladin and corpse hopping my way through feralis at 40 something to get my veritable fist…Yes I was lost yes I outleveled it..and you bet your ass I treasured that weapon for the epic death march it was to get.
20 yrs back I used to watch a hunter 1v3 people in Steppes he'd be in an endless chain of cc and corpserunners you were great Cauthonluck; before Starcraft lured you away
i remember how i walked with my lvl 33 gnome warlock (first ever character) into the arena with no clue what its about, seeing this shiny treasure chest and getting killed like 100 times xD
Ide think Cranius was probably one of the earliest examples of gaming music i ever heard, and the reason i love it nowadays :) Looking back on this vid and others, its great
This video made me smile...reminded me of how fun this game really can be and how moments like this are what make WoW continue to stay number one...no other game will look / or play as good as World Of Warcraft!
chukky1124 if you like un balanced shit, sure.. mop is more balanced than any other expansion though.. I admit some comps / classes are way too strong, but it's still more balanced then ever before..
chukky1124 I actually hope you're kidding with me. Are you saying that vanilla and tbc had better gameplay than wotlk? LOL, you obviously didnt play vanilla nor tbc much at all.
Yees, back in the day when sun shone brighter and music was louder. Meanwhile MoP, the most competent expansion since TBC sits alone in a corner, crying, betrayed and completely forgotten, You know the funny thing about the "good old days"? See, rarely were they actually half as good as we remember.
Ryzaer TBC was new, shiny and fun. Everything was such a mystery... We got the Draenei into the picture... The real Draenei, not the broken that we had seen before... PVP was more balanced as well.
Minimeister317 Oh believe me, you don't need to preach to me about TBC. That's when I first played the game, began shortly after BT was added. Henceforth, that's obviously THE expansion for me, MY expansion, it's what defined the game for me and it's where my best memories of it remain. But, if we were to actually objectively compare the mechanics of way back when with MoP, it's shortcomings in the light of present day mmos would become all too apparent. Has the game been made easier over the years? Yes, but on the other hand, tons of aspects of the game were very much improved on. Going back to TBC today would most likely be quite the painful experience
***** You have no idea how many people there were saying the exact same things you're saying. They even got their own "new" vanilla WoW, in the form of Wildstar. A game *designed* to emulate the feeling and aspects of original wow. And yet it failed miserably. People with rose tinted glasses are bad enough. You haven't even played the game you're so in love with. But you can, there are private vanilla servers. Give those a try.
I find myself wondering how many of these character still exist or are actually played. Every expansion of WoW makes people talk about how much better the previous game was. Thanks for sharing more of the games history and your impressive PvP skills! ^_^
Going back and playing on a 3.3.5 server, 2 hand frost, and DK in general is really fuckin clunky. Mad respect to even being able to pull it off and not just being UH or DW frost. There is no talent in frost that buffs 2hand until cata, so this is even more impressive without the nostalgia goggles activated. I was only about 12 or so at the time of wrath, so there is a lot of stuff I had miss remembered about DK as a whole for back then. Although this video is going off of early wrath talents and balance as seen by the S1 wrath pvp gear, where DKs were even more insane than they are in 3.3.5. DKs can easily be 1v1ed by many classes these days on private servers, esp bad DKs.
I was listening to this when PvPing on my DK last night. I did top Damage and most KBs in the bg. xD You're an awesome DK and the song totally fits hehe.
Ah 2009, when blizzard somehow didnt notice or care how broken certain DK builds were, allowing monsters like this to run around facerolling pvp with 2 buttons. Good times, makes me nostalgic
Ahhhh the good ol days, a couples of guildies and myself went on our level 70 alts and had some good fun in gurubashi arena, I havent had fun like that in WoW since tbc. ;(
@TheProfInWoW its the arena in Stranglethorn vale idk if its still there after cata but you get an achievement for opening the chest and getting the trinket inside a certain number of times.
Man, i've gotta admit, you're really good in PvP to have holded all those people against you. I think i could've lasted 3 or 4, but i'm a war prot, so i guess it's not same. :P
That was a ton of fun to watch. :) Brings back fond memories, some of which were in that very arena. Plenty of free-for-alls, but I think my favorite was winning a toe-to-toe with another Paladin of similar level and gear. It was like fighting myself. For glory! :D
@MatrykusofSM I was in TBC and finally reached gettingall my gear to Epic and started Black Temple.. When it all was epic and all the bugs got fixed and pvp was infact FAIR in its ways.. and i was jumping out my seat when i hit a 10-12k Critical hit with a Pyroblast.. Now i can do 15-18k as a normal critical hit with my druids Mangle skill.. Dangit man why cant we bring the good times back?
Something tells me I need to go do a little research till we find this axe's true name. Maybe once we possess this knowledge, we might stand a chance at getting the Gurubashi arena master trinket...
I can't believe this is now 9 years old.
I also can't believe I still come and watch this from time to time.
Michelle .H me too my friend.
Welcome to the club
I watch most of cranius' stuff from time to time same for oxhorn
what i can say is my childhood
XD
This has been my alarm since I first saw the video :D
Bro, I really miss Cranius
Same Grom, same
Relatable
Bro, I really miss Grom Hellscream
He made a new song :)
Very same
Undeniably one of the most deserved Gurubashi achievements ever seen.
It's really not, everyone there played kinda terrible, including Cranius... He only won because of gear and DKs being kinda OP in Season 6.
@@i_daniel0141 everyone was bad back then
@@i_daniel0141 I mean compared to everyone else he was far and beyond the best player there.
2023, I listened to everything Cranius during SoD release. Cranius still BANGS.
Rewatching all of Cranius' videos. So much nostalgia. When I was a clicker noob playing on private servers, exploring the game and finding new things every single day. Good times. Wish I could experience being new to WoW once more...
+Poppinveins Everything you said is so accurate. I remember my private servers days, when i was just a noob who clicked, fun times.
+Poppinveins i feel ya homie Cranius miss those days
Official wow legacy servers are coming out now :D
I use macros now too but I still get to clicking. Been doing it so well since vanilla I can still out click key heroes.
I would give my self amnesia if i could just to get to play wow one more time not knowing anything.. Just to get that magical feeling one more time...
You can almost hear the mage's cry of frustration at the end. >:D
Dropped by for a listen, still one of my favorites after 11 years.
I too come back to watch again, this is some of the best editing, best story telling in WOW. Nobody's doing this any more, and with this kind of work as the bar, maybe that's understandable.
Well there're no events like that any more... Nothing matters in retail WoW.
@@feorh1919 The thing is, Cranius is telling a story here. There are ALWAYS stories to be told if you have the creativity and the talent.
Its fucking shite wtf you talking about
@@plummet3860 mad lmao
134 people got their ass kicked by Cranius!
I love how near the end they're pretty much all just going after Cranius.
What we didnt see was the warlock that came in at the end and said oh thats cute and owned him lol :P
Doesn't matter, he got the chest
I like how the camera moves around a lot. It really tells you that the person who made this video wanted us to feel like we were on a roller coaster.
And that my friends is how you play a DK!
13 years later i still get chills from cranius
RIP 2hand frost. Mained it since wrath. Now its gone for good.
nah man after legion we will probably be able to use whatever weapons we want once again
syz justno you cant even use a 2hander in frost anymore, just like you cant use 1handers in fury
i know that man but they already announced that artifacts will retire after legion so i suppose old weapon restrictions will be back
Agree with syz justno =) Just wait ^^
I can't be the only one that likes DW Frost? Although I do wish that everyone had the choice of dw or 2h. Then again I think every DK should have D&D.
This game makes me feel like an old man...anyone remember the days where level 40 was a huge deal, where you saved all your money to get that shitty first mount that u were ecstatic about?
Yea and i played war 3 so what do u think how do i feel like.
This Guy those days are here again
😢 i did not Get my mount On my warrior before lvl 44 due to training cost😢
it was not shitty. when you bought it - do you remember the superb 60% ms bonus? oh that ecstatic feeling of air rushing pas you
I remember not knowing shit on my paladin and corpse hopping my way through feralis at 40 something to get my veritable fist…Yes I was lost yes I outleveled it..and you bet your ass I treasured that weapon for the epic death march it was to get.
11 year old video and still amazing, thank you for your contribution to the game.
This brings back the WotLK nostalgia in a way that even re-watching the old cinematics can't do for me. :)
The audio from this exact video has been my waking alarm for around 9 years now. Thank you
20 yrs back I used to watch a hunter 1v3 people in Steppes
he'd be in an endless chain of cc and corpserunners
you were great Cauthonluck; before Starcraft lured you away
the best was that he never died lol
This is what PvP is really about!
i miss so much these times... i wish i could be there once more
Private servers?
Consider changing servers. It's still like this on Ravencrest. Probably even x-realm now.
still come back to watch this atleast once a year
May 2019 and I still comeback.. the memories...
I was instantly transported back to Highschool when I watched this.
lol i remember when death knights were this op
oh shit im gonna die OH WAIT 5K ICY TOUCH
best pvp video ever!
+Hellen Abernus I agree!
+Hellen Abernus I agree!
why would we watch it there when we have it here !
Nice profile pic!
This is the kind of old school PvP videos I miss.
i remember how i walked with my lvl 33 gnome warlock (first ever character) into the arena with no clue what its about, seeing this shiny treasure chest and getting killed like 100 times xD
When he finally popped the chest I literally said "YEAH!" out loud...
3am Arena chest FTW!
try 6 am - even better, all insomniac tryhards are gone and noobs are not up yet
best time to farm for achievements
2021 and the legend of Cranius is still told. People still talk of the last man standing.
Cranius is a legend.
I know he is inactive, but I still love the songs. Especially of the beginning of WoW Classic , this songs are still a banger.
Ide think Cranius was probably one of the earliest examples of gaming music i ever heard, and the reason i love it nowadays :) Looking back on this vid and others, its great
Love listening to it till this days
this vid is really epic and the song is so perfect with it
that video inspired me to play keep playing DK
I love how those twink rogues goes like:" I WUNTZ DAT CHEST! I WANNA BE TWINK WITH EPIC GOGGLES AND BLUES! Nope.
I will never stop watching your videos, Cranius. I do wish you'd come back though!
I always come back to this song.
эх, были времена!
Да, прям ностальгия))😅
Shame song wasn't by Hammerfall
+J Ozzborn same
A true masterpiece
everytime i played the place i had goosebumps. Was a fun place to play open world pvp even on a rp-pve server.
i had some nice battles there.
This video made me smile...reminded me of how fun this game really can be and how moments like this are what make WoW continue to stay number one...no other game will look / or play as good as World Of Warcraft!
If you think about story it's definitely
WOTLK > Everything Else
if i think about gameplay its >> Vanilla / tbc >> everything else but ye story was better in wotlk
chukky1124 Sure no dimishing returns was a lot of fun.
chukky1124 if you like un balanced shit, sure.. mop is more balanced than any other expansion though.. I admit some comps / classes are way too strong, but it's still more balanced then ever before..

I guess you've never played MoP.

Still one of the best PVP videos, almost 13 years later.
Those rogues kept popping up and he kept slapping them down so fast lol
2019 anyone?

try that now and youll get ganked by 20 people
rip nostalrius, hoping for legacy servers
But it's wotlk... you know, death knights and all...
What does that have to do at all with this video?
There's elysium, a vanilla private server apparently supported by nostalrius, or something like that anyway.
ITS HAPPENING!
@@MatziUndSo Aaaaaand it's gone
Wow the memories, that place was sooo much fun. Loved that place. Still love this video, thanks for the memories.
Cranio,you are the best death knight ever. Fighting for 8 minutes non-stop against 3/4 80s and some lesser levels alone.. wow. Just,wow.
Dont mind me.. just charging up for classic when it launches in 10 day uwu
Vanilla > everything else
This isn't vanilla..
MoP best exp. haters gonna hate, but for me wotlk and mop are the best, and i actually think mop even better a bit, vanilla as trash as draenor
mop was garbage
Lol how was MoP any good, simplified casual trash.
Back when PVP was actually fun.
Back when WoW was actually fun and looked good, not a burning mess
Yees, back in the day when sun shone brighter and music was louder.
Meanwhile MoP, the most competent expansion since TBC sits alone in a corner, crying, betrayed and completely forgotten, You know the funny thing about the "good old days"? See, rarely were they actually half as good as we remember.

Shit. It's been 5 years.
just cringed at my own 6 year old comments and now saw this haha
: )
WOTLK > MOP > TBC > CATA > Vanilla
i am at a loss for words, thats just how epic this is
DAMN!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!! First time Ive seen Gurubashi Arena like that in a long time!!! Kudos mate!!
Gurubashi Arena Master? ... Well earned that day, Cranius. I tip my hat to you, sir.
Cranius is a pvp god
Clasic is back wonder if the Blue Dress will make an appearance!
Who here remembers getting this achievement back in the day and feeling like a badass... got mine 9 years ago.. damm time flew by.
Still the best music video for this song!
I find myself wondering how many of these character still exist or are actually played. Every expansion of WoW makes people talk about how much better the previous game was. Thanks for sharing more of the games history and your impressive PvP skills! ^_^

LOL i had to read that veryyy slowly to make sense of your unique take on the english language, great job man
You had me laughing through out the whole video. That was awesome! Fantastic job! :)
2021, still love it.
Ide like to think that the dk from the beginning just watched this all go down , and by the end the Paladins and rogues just gave up xD
This is the video that inspired me to main Frost DK in PVP
No regrets
Ah 2009, when blizzard somehow didnt notice or care how broken certain DK builds were, allowing monsters like this to run around facerolling pvp with 2 buttons.
Good times, makes me nostalgic
this is my favourite pvp movie ever, also my favourite nostalgia bomb in general i love it

Yay they made it available again :D

This helped me do mage tower for my blood and frost dk. Thanks alot Cranius!
Had alot of fun down in that pit, pure chaos lol
TY. That was enough for me to find it. It is either Edge of Ruin or Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver.
Knowing the content and the player base, good job knowing what everyone in the game knows... You sure are an over-achiever!
This was at the start of Wrath, and DK's were OP as hell, dude!
While this is an awesome video, ide like to think the people he was facing eventually just went "Ya know what, screw it, this guys earned it"
Actually, it's what most players who've played all the expansions believe :)
