For this video I compiled a marathon of the 5 essays I wrote about cut, abandoned and deleted Classic WoW content! Hopefully you guys enjoy this whilst I work on some more cut content videos coming soon! Also, I stream and discuss alot of cut content and other random topics related to Classic WoW pretty often, so follow me on Twitch or watch me live on YT as well! Love y'all!
Blizzard is too inept to understand that. They think classic + means giving everyone abilities from versions of the game that came out a decade later so they can 1v10 quest mobs and completely destroy the entire premise of playing classic. The moment I read the abilities you got at level 4 in SOD, I laughed and knew it was a waste of time to even consider playing it. Penance at level 4 specless, lmao. Feels JUST like classic.
Diamond mines in STV sounds so cool. I imagine it would've been goblins (they had other mining operations in STV) maybe with a basilisk area, or even could've included Defias mining diamonds for funding working with the pirates (the Defias juggernaut door was in STV). That's just my headcanon
I want classic + so bad. I quit during Cata, still yearning for a new WoW that grows in the tradition of the original games soul. I think this is the best video I've seen on this beat to death topic. I hope some Blizz people see it.
i think a lot of the abandoned dungeons ended up being caves or things like skull rock (cave near org not RFC) redridge elites, troll elites in hinterlands etc as they did not plan to have instances originally. after reading john stats book - they called them microdungeons.
Uldum should be a big underground City (Expedition site) with quest and elite Mops. Where the Titans created world bosses and other creations, something like that. Also they should add an new big f*ing epic Orc storyline Starts in valley of trials: "Cure of the orcish Demon blood (green skin)" to juice up the orc's starting zone. When i think about it, Jaina as the Lich Queen is so wild bro!
Grim Batol, Timbermaw Hold, Scarlet Citadel, Karazan Crytps… this is what classic plus needs. Use the runes that were loved as baseline or specialization specific.
Idk about the whole Dark portal in Azshara or Teldrassil. The book the last guardian (the novelization of the first two games) released in 2002, and it’s pretty much stated that it was in, at that time, the swamp of sorrows south of stormwind. The continent of kalimador was established already because wc3 was also released in 2002 and devs were told the story beats to wc3 during the making of it so why would the DP be on the opposite continent then Stormwind?
It was based off of John Staats's book. There is a chance I may have miscontrued what was written, but I do think it was both meant as a placeholder but at the same time it was also initially designed as being remnants of the Demonic Invasion from the War of the Ancients. Again, my memory is a tidbit hazy so don't take this to be fact, but I do have the blubr that says Chris Metzen kept moving it before they settled it in Blasted Lands. Then again, WoW was in development since 1998 essentially, atleast conceptually as a world and lore.
IMO the worst dungeons they've ever made were the ICC dungeons. Thematically they were super cool, the bosses had cool abilities, they had potential-- but the spammable pacing of them and the ability to just braindead flow clear them in under 15 mins each was the first sign to me that I didn't like the direction of the game. It's why when we got to the ICC patch in Classic my guild of RL friends all quit at the same time, it's when the veil of meaning got a little too thin and the game felt pushed too hard into the psychology of getting the next thing over enjoying the present.
maaaan not ebonhardt too.. all these youtubers hoping on this cringe meta of compiling their old content into one big video so they can roll in profits off of that recycled content again is just getting OLD bro.
Ye, I got requested by a lot of people to do something like this, but I don't wanna lock it behind a Patreon or something. Not exactly my favorite kind of content, but it was a thing I've gotten alot of requests for. But depending on the reception to this, I may not do it again or take it down.
@@EbonhardtTV oh im probably gonna be the only person who complains lol so dont worry about that. I never see anybody else commenting about it aside myself on other youtubers videos.
Are you just trying to plow through some release drought by posting so many videos and not getting lost in the algorithm? Relax my dude and post once there is some news (:

I think you are spot on in that the only way forward for classic is to go back.. to the content that was planned

The only way forward for classic is to go back to the past
to play the shitty games that suck ass

Killing the content game dude! Looking forward to enjoying this on my commute home 👊

Been saying this for years , total missed opportunity and still can be utilized . The community would get behind this !

this is correct, skull rocks quest chains lead you to RFC so its a mix of both.
Thanks for the video
Holy shit Esfand got in great shape

Fuckin Get it brother. Respect.
5 hour breakdown video when?
Karazhan could could have been a multi phase raid. Each level opens after the next phase drops.

“Things of that nature” x1billion
What are "things that Turtle WoW is already doing better than Blizzard could?"
I just go to level 60 for the first time ever. I’m a horde arms warrior, what do i do now?
They should've kept the original Karazhan.
feels illegal to be this early
5 hour video please
❤️❤️❤️
Send this video to madseason and sfaysafe👌👌

Whats ICC?
@@Tartersauce101 There was a ICC 25 man raid, but he's reffering to the Ice Crowns Citadel's Dungeons that came out during the same time.
Use the og word more😂

This is literally just a compilation of older videos. Nothing new.
