The Classic WoW Launch Experience
Вставка

- God, I've experienced so much fun and ... so much .. Pain, in Classic over the last couple of weeks. And I love every bit of it. I already have so many memorable moments it's nuts. And to be honest with you, I think the Launch was actually pretty stable, there was a decent amount of lag and crashing in the beginning but I honestly had a way worse experience at the launch of BfA.
Well I hope you like the video and stick around for more!

To be totally honest with you guys, I think the Classic launch was actually fairly stable. Excluding the terrifying queues, I didn't get DC-ed on too many occasions, and the lag was kinda bad, but it was just for the first day or so. I honestly DC-ed and lagged way more at the BfA launch. so yea. Good job classic blizzard team
Captain Grim yeah it wasn’t that bad I could actually somehow kill quest mobs
This video so true, I'm gonna cry :')
Hey @Captain Grim, can you do a Layman's Terms tutorial on what programs you used and how you made this video? I would like to tell a story in WoW using your method.
Grim made a patreon after being swarmed by asmon fans.
STONKS
Nothing compared to wod launch
Now that Nixxiom hasn’t done any machinima video in a looong time, you’re off to be THE Machinima Guy in the WoW community.
It's sad.... But unfortunately it's the truth.
First it was Oxhorn, then eventually Moocluck, then Nixxiom.
@@rablablook1720 Captain Grim even has moocluck on his fear video haha!!
Difference is though Grim actually had me laughing where nixxiom only got a smile outta me.
@@warhero40000 Oh come now. Nixxiom's "The true story of Ilthalaine" ? , "Joining a Guild" ? , "The second Cataclysm!" ?
None of those made you chuckle at least once?
Silly Nixxiom, I unsubscribed because of that
“Take him to Bolvar take him to Bolvar”
I loved that part!!! I fucking searched the comments to see if other people related... I love it so much... Dudes just chilling and asmon roles through with a big ass dragon lol i fucking love that guy
@@philipedward1105 why do you love that guy? he is scamming his own guildmembers out of eq, mats and gold when ever he can and a lot of times, while he is in a dungeon, raid or battleground, he ist just afk following/standing around watching youtube videos and his fanbase makes the rest for him. gold and equipment gets thrown at him for no reason and he often isn't even really responsible for his own achievments... how is that entertaining for you? >.>
@@Tzkaar because i used to play wow!!!!!! Listen i had an 85 holy priest that i leveled 60% of it through pvp i love pvp its the like the best running around pocket healing the most buff guy shredding down capping flags being protected by every team member because you're their heals.. i felt like the star of the show. Even though id have zero damage i was top healer!
@@philipedward1105 dude, after wotlk i did almost nothing other than playing pvp. sometimes some questing or a few dungeons to get enough gold to repair my stuff. did play healshaman, holypriest, holypaladin, warlock and hunter. i stopped playing near end of WoD because i simply had enough on how elitist everyone has had become.
the way you frased it, i understand what you mean. scratching the itch is needed sometimes when you did something for so long and suddenly stop. but there is way better wow content out there, it is just not as popular^^
I don't get it.
This is beautiful.
Also being able to buff strangers again is awesome. I loved buffing people wherever I went back in the day. *wipes away tear*
I'm constantly buffing people and helping them out on my priest. I will chase people down to buff their stamina.
I appreciate all your buffs, thanks guys
And as a warrior I love being randomly buffed :) unless it's intellect, damn those mages mocking me with a useless buff 😂
@@vordoch level your weapon skills faster with more int, mang.
@@username12120 never really found leveling weapon skill to be much of an inconvenience tbh most of the ones I use frequently are maxed anyway :) unless it's doing unarmed then maybe :P
1:01 is a good mental image, almost everywhere I've been in the human zones has been like a goddamn mob genocide. the few remaining gnolls hide with their loved ones, shaking in fear. all they can hear is the echoes of their brethren, screaming "gnoll_death_01.ogg" in futility. feels good to be back man.
screaming "gnoll_death_01.ogg" in futility lmao
Humans will not forget the great gnoll war anytime soon
Just flew over Hogger spawning point, it's still a massacre down there.
I tried Ally and horde and must say horde is considerable abidetabley easier in terns of Shashank shalashaska
I never get tired of jokes about NPCs having to deal with the crap from us the players. Also loved the joke about the Undead guy being afraid to admit that Vanilla was fun in its own right. ^^
Xactly.
Sooooo many people were developing split personalities crapping on it one second then the next, getting excited and squeeling with glee. XD
well, i still dont know what vanilla braindead shitboys find fun about no brain just grind. Only fun part in vanilla, kiting bosses to cities.
go check out Epic NPC Man
@@Swarmah then don't play.
Iam definitly guilty of hating on classic an then liking it after i played it again, didn´t tought nostalgia could be that strong. And all the other things like loot worth that i havn´t considerd before making my opinion on classic. Iam still pretty sure that Retail is the better game but comparing things to retail isnt that fair anyways.
Made me realize how much I appreaciate that I was able to play online games in a time without streamers.
Honestly I actually liked watching streamers . But I don’t play on the servers Far to annoying ..also short lived
As a fellow Horde druid i find mark of the wild segment a complete accurate truth
*places mark
*paces Thorns
You're doing God's work
@@tigereyes0209 Nature's work, you mean. :D *Shot*
I've rolled a druid alt just for that buff haha
Every day, thousands upon thousands of adventurers go about their day without a Mark of the Wild. With your help, we can the world a less unbuffed place. Buff your locals, today.
The wolf exploding is 100% accurate. So much digital murder
1:22 That paladin always get me laughing so hard :D :D
*glorious music* In the name of the Anestesier the proud... FUCK OFF FROM MY SPAWN.
haha ikr love that one
You and me both! rotfl XD
@@SamuelBenedicic_of_NSK best line of any paladin
@@SamuelBenedicic_of_NSK I always wondered what he said 😂😂😂
Lmfao that Asmongold reference LUL
10/10 Machinima aus usual :D
Cheers dude, happy you liked it
Agreed. After hearing him guiding the dragon train, I had to see who else noticed it. Lovely call back to the streamer hate and one of the more recognizable events from PTR.
@@blackorwhite1080 3:19 It's referencing when Asmongold and his viewers led Teremus the Devourer into Stormwind, in wow classic beta.
I had to double check. Yup, that's 100% him. HOW did I miss that?
Asmongold killed my parents
ah dude 4 strength 4 stam leather belt?
Level 18 !?
AAAAAHHHHH!
Love the reference
What's the reference
Ventrilo harrassment haha
Here we go again..
Too good lol. I completely lost it with the Hogger part.
that gnoll whine lol
2:42 the best part. A meme before memes were even a thing
I just love this Undead face 2:38, Bis face for Warlock
Great work once again! Please keep making those. They don't get old!
And as any other perfect machinima, it ends with Stormwind on fire. Excellent!
That Hogger part is honestly they best thing i saw in a long time
Here before withered Jim reacts.
Loved that last scene with asmon
i was here :)
@Akitake true
They're mobs from legion that are basically skinny meth addicts that go crazy when they don't consume mana
😠🥚
Capt Grim is a shining beacon of all that is good, and we must cherish his gifts to us, the unwashed seething masses
Rotfl. Oh man. Yeah, you are totally right. And I mean it.
I’m really late to the comment and I’ve never actually played WoW but Captain Grimm’s videos are so funny and high quality that after a friend of mine who did play until recently, filled me in on much of WoW’s history and mechanics.
So I’ll straight up admit I’m a visitor from Eorzea (FF14) and before that, many years old my MMO home was FF11’s Vana’diel. The former had a lot of similarities to WoW such as powerful mobs that spawned at intervals ranging between six hours and 72 hours that always dropped the most effective and superior weapons/armour or items that would be of immense use to you if your class used those stats, or worth a ton of money on the player driven Auction House.
Linkshells (Free Companies or Player Guilds) learnt the last “death time” of these mobs and would start camping the spawn area shortly before it was due to respawn. And yes it was a race because the first person to hit the monster got it locked to her and her group. Nobody else could join the fight and partake in the rewards unless they all died and the mob returned to normal status. White coloured name for normal, red for being in battle against you. Purple I think for people watching the fight but aren’t able to claim or fight it. And orange was the colour of the mob had been killed by the mob and it was still recovering from the damage they did before being killed.
When a mob was in orange mode other groups could still attack and kill it but they’d get no loot for it. Waiting for it to return to full health and white mode was vital.
Funnily enough as my character grew in level and travelled through lower level areas I soon began realising the special legendary mobs were due to spawn because in this one area of a map filled with lvl 12-16 monsters had level capped players at lvl 75 camping the spawn area.
I freely admit that usually I would stop and camp too. Usually I’d only have to wait between two and fifteen minutes before the legendary monster spawned and because I was a Mage with both single and AoE spells bound in well written macros I was actually pretty darn successful in claiming the mob. Usually the stuff would be put on for sale at the AH but sometimes would pay 50k more than AH price to buy it from me directly. (Not a bad idea since they rarely were in stock at the AG.)
So yeah FF11 had many of the same or similar content and mechanics as WoW. My only real complaints I had with FF11 is that it was just about nothing one could accomplish could be feasibly done solo. Very few main quests beyond lvl 10 could be done solo and even when the mob checker said “decent challenge” if you won it was a narrow victory that took awhile in the “healing crouch” position to regain hp and mp. Most quests after lvl 10 required a full group. Most linkshell clans were created with a roster of quests to run everyone through. This was especially true with the Promathia expansion with enforced level syncing.
Even levelling up required a group of six people. Usually tank, healer, support/secondary healer and the rest were DPS. (Oh and once Bard and Red Mage learned their mp regen spells they sorta became essential.) A good team could make really good exp gain.
So yeah WoW seems familiar in many respects such as spawn camping and whatnot. But the communities were different as FF11 literally forced you to play nice to get anything done. That and the GMs took complaints seriously and many trolls ended up in Mordion.
Now FF14 is pretty different with large chunks of the game being soloable. Really my only real gripe is that the multiplayer dungeons have to be done as parts of the main quest. I do feel group content should be optional.
Ah well at least the FF14 community is nice for the vast majority.
I love these videos so much. 1:01-1:40 perfectly described my launch experience in Dun Morogh.
The facial expressions are so damn good
Oh god, hogger's spawning was so accurate
Hogger is the true final raid boss.
urusmomus gayus vengeance at last lol
"Finally at home" this moment almost make me cry... so real
Patient Questers: "Omai wa, Shinderu!"
Hogger:"N-nani!?"
I look forward to these videos every time! Keep it up! 100k here we come
Perfectly sums up the experience. I’m loving Classic so far and I’ve only hit level 20 but it’s fun.
So yesterday I was chilling in Stormwind AH. And out of nowhere somehow x2 Onyxia's elite dragonkin were pulled into the stormwind. They started murdering everyone! One shot-ing most players on sight. NPC guards tried to kill them without success. Anyone who dared to help the guards or heal them were murdered where they stood. Eventually after killing over 50+ people they despawned. I'm still in shock after what I witnessed xD Classic experience.
Wait...the Oxnyia raid isn't even on Eastern Kingdoms (Eastrend) so how did that pull occur??
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 I only recently discovered that there's a questline where Onyxia reveals herself for the first time in Stormwind Throne room. And she summons bunch of elite dragonkin. it seems this is where people pulled them from to AH ;)
@@RobiePAX People used to pull world bosses across the continent just to fuck with people in Orgrimmar. Did that once back in the day!
“How do I spawn my heirlooms?!”
That’s me in /1 trolling and causing some guys to have an aneurism.
I was wheezing because I was laughing so hard. This machinima was great, keep it up man
Oh my god the amount of people who genuinely asked about heirlooms was concerning.
We had one guy ask which rep to grind to unlock bloodelves
Ikr? I am shocked they don't know to get heirlooms you had to swim to Northrend and beat the Lich King in a fist fight. How hard is that to know?
Justin Carson that could be a good one im gonna start telling them they have to swim to northrend and buy them from now on
SeltsamOne these are the people that need to stay in retail
The amount of people who got baited is unsettling
literally all of these happened to me
(i also didnt notice the pizza slice on your profile picture before)
Really? Streamers killed your parents too? Lmao XD
This is beautiful. Thank you for all your videos.
Can't wait for Asmonbald to react to this and it being upload to UA-cam by at least like 5 different channels.
It's funny because your hairline is further up than Asmons.
Man you must have some great eyesight to able to tell from such a tiny picture lol.
He was the worst thing to happen to wow
It is funny because I watched Asmongold react to this video before video itself xd
@@RoyalBluePhoenix To be fair, Grim got like 5-10k subs because of asmon
That ending was golden. Keep up the great work!
Your animations and scripts for all these are sooooo good. I really admire your content!!
The part with Asmon made me laugh way too hard! :'D Awesome vid!
*w h i c h o n e*
Perfect video!
It lasted just long enough for my flight from Darnasus to Auberdine to complete :)
That druid giving buffs almost killed me Haha!
1:12 This is so accurate it triggered my PTSD
Man your stuff is top notch. I laughed my ass off all the way through this. You have a great gift of comedic timing, and I love the model edits / custom animations. AAA+ material!
Another perfect machinima. The way you animate the models with the voice lines makes me wanna learn.
Learn what? this shits baby easy. just go learn it lol
Your videos make me cry with laughter. Every time! Its pretty impressive 😄 great job 🖤
Hahah glad to hear you like them man, thank you :)
As per usual, amazing video Captain Grim.
Thank you Basih!
The druid marking everyone was my favorite part, 10/10 my ne druid
You're the funniest machinima creator I've ever seen. And you make me laugh a lot. Can't wait to see more with a smile on my face. Love it! Keep up with the great work. ♥
That's awesome to hear Enviay, haha! Makes me happy. And thank you!
Every video you release has me laughing! I've watched every single one. Your comedic timing is fantastic and the pacing of your videos is so good (a weird compliment, maybe, but I've watched videos where the jokes didn't land or were dragged on a little too long). I've noticed you gained a ton more subs than when I first found you, too! I hope you continue to succeed!
2:48 As a paladin player i can confirm that this was me during the entire launch. The ammount of thanks you get is very nice tho, people are so polite in classic~
I never seen so much editing skills in wow machinemas before, you are a legend dude!
Cheers Martin, im glad you like it :D
Dude that druid buffing everyone was amazing!
Captain grim and platinum wow are legit the best WoW comedy content creators to date. You guys deserve more subs.
yea platinum's amazing! definitely needs more attention
as a Druid, i can confirm that i'm enjoying more 2-buffing strangers that actually playing the character.
ikr , totally agree
@Michael Diment same lolol
Just watched this on my way to School. This made my day way better. Cheers!
hahah that's awesome to hear man, cheers!
I didn't realize how much I missed vanilla wow machinima until seeing this. This was great. Felt reminiscent of The Grind. Would be cool to see them come back for classic.
Unfortunately they wont, asked mckief on his stream last month, he said he aint coming back... I Douth they changed their mind :p
This is so spot on. The groups waiting for kills, the assholes that go “haha got it bye.” That happened so much. The lines for wanted quest. I died at the guy giving buffs. Great vid
3:16 god dammit Asmongold 🤣
“Take it to bolvar let’s Go .” Oml the asmnogold reference was awesome . 😂 you can’t that kiting experience in retail .
A lot of people say: Man we were wrong!
Me, someone who never played wow before August 2019: It was as glorious as the videos showed. I had an amazing community and made great friends, we split apart with tbc being not so fun sadly.
The bots were a problem and the boost too, but the boost were more a easy way to level twinks, the original level phase was amazing and on my server even Twink leveling was fun till phase 4, my server was slow on getting the hang of boosting xD
Wow remember when this guy had 5k subs? Grats on 55k man, won't be surprised to see one of your videos on trending someday, keep it up!
Thanks dude, i appreciate it!
2:10 most accurate representation yet
You are the literally the funniest WoW UA-camr rn. I die of laughter every time!
Glad you enjoy my stuff man, means a lot :)
"Streamers killed my parents!" Lmaooo
I love it. Thank god for so talented animators like you
Thanks man, im happy you liked it
@@CaptainGrim Btw mate, on what server are you playing?
@@PasiastyPasek Golemagg EU horde
This video covers everything has been going on since launch you sir are man of culture (Also yeah i went in that human line ppl are sweet)
Dude you've done it again. Literally the best machinima creator for WoW of all time, everything is on point! Keep up the amazing work
Glad you like my work man, makes me happy!
that nelf buffing random people got me real good x-D
I’m consistently amazed at how good you are at these!
Hahah I'm glad you like them, thank you!
today be like with season of discovery
Lmao, too true, everything in this video you could apply to SoD!
Grim, you are too good at this! I loved every secound. Keep it up buddy!
Thanks man, i appreciate it ! :)
here before asmon makes the :O face when he's mentioned
your videos and editing is so good please keep it up
Thank you! There's more to come :)
I am happy you guys are enjoying Classic, as for myself I got bored really fast.
I love games like Dark Souls and Morrowind so I'm not a "casual wrathbaby" or such that can't appreciate the RPG elements. I just do not see any insentive to play for myself. I know the lore. I know the zones like the back of my hand. And there is virtually nothing for me to do in the endgame.
Man these vids are amazing you deserve at least 20mill subs.
True beauty it’s exactly like this and I love it
I think the funniest video so far.. and most accurate. Love you man!
love you too!
2:43 omg this one from ventrilo is a classic
Brilliantly done! I do love these videos :)
happy to hear it
I swear, these machinimas are created by Nixxiom in disguise. Really good stuff.
You have the best WoW machinimas on UA-cam my friend. I show them to my brother and my friends that play wow and we always laugh our asses off
2:49 is totally my Priest.
Awesome work man. Love the "strimers ruining my fan1!!1" part.
Glad you liked it man :D
A lot of them were accurate, but nothing hit me like this. 2:48
I never realize that I might don't look as cool as I think I do when I buff people with my priest xD
I know im exactly like that with my druid
Best machinima maker on UA-cam rn
thanks , means a lot
Grim how are you making these this quickly! Its like one a week and they have custom 3d animations! Another good machinima though glad to see your channel taking off! :)
cheers evo, i appreciate it :)
@@CaptainGrim I love your machinimas man the exploding wolf the hogger the undead honestly the whole video got me laughing like hell
This was amazing! A perfect representation of what release was like XD
Jim better shill this guy's patreon page. These videos are better than pretty much everything else.
why are we calling him jim now?
you're easily one of my favourite youtubers now, keep up making these videos, they're amazing!
That sneaky "you think you do" at the start.
Every Classic fan should say that when returning, then proceed to laugh as they mock and curse that bastard's name. Then proceed to rejoice in been back in their true home, singing “We are the champions" or something.
Best UA-cam Video from 2019 to forever
When getting green items was rare getting one actually meant something
Grim srsly, like I remember less then a yer ago you had 2-4 k subs. And now you are a big guy. So so happy for you, you deserved every bit of your success!
Thanks man! It's only possible cause of the support from people like you :)
How many years were blizz saying we didnt want this exact thing?
Man I love your videos!! Keep it uuuppppp
Hey, this video was actually kinda fun... Oh crap! I hope nobody heard me... Captain Grim is complete garbage compared to Oxhorn, myndflame and iBeckman! You have to be a complete idiot to...! Oh damn! This video is extremely well made and haven't had this much fun watching machinimas in years, I'm so excited! I MEAN...
I just woke up but I still clicked because after BFA Launch Experience I know everything will be quality.
Streamers are a plague upon our world, Blizzard should ban every last one of them.
TRUE
My wow forum experience
Streamers killed my parents
Then UA-camrs should get banned too right? ;)
You and your little upvoters are the most pathetic butthurt pieces of shit on this planet. Its mind blowing how little self awareness you have.
Dude, YOU ARE AMAIZING !!! ❤
YOURE AMAZING
"Everybody is dying" D:
Hey man, I just want to say i really love your videos, you put so much effort into your videos it's crazy, I really wish for you do get more views and support for your channel.
thanks! thats really kind of you, i appreciate it. I'm glad i can entertain you guys :)
