Transmog is super important. You can't pull your best DPS/Healing/Threat if you don't look cute!
I dont RP, but I play rp servers. Something about players having conversations and doing things in character makes the world feal wayyyy more alive and immersive.
Never thought of it that way. I made a character on a RP server and had a player talk to me in character, I was so taken aback, I just logged out and never went back lol didn't know how to respond
Maybe I should give it a try again
Wow how interesting
Indeed, im an RPer myself and ofcourse doing content + a fuck ton of mog and mount farming, im quite the busy guy in WoW, overall community in RP servers are better due to its a socialised server, ofcourse if you go to the stereo typical place you hear of in RP server, lolshire, Thotshire it got manny names, sadly due to all these things RPers instantly get laughed at because goldshire is the first thing people think about when seeing someone from that server.
Same with me most of my characters are on darkmoon fair an rp server
I am trying to run content for cosmetic rewards for my rp first
Thank you for making this video. It’s good to see someone acknowledge that farming raids and M+ doesn’t have to be the main focus to enjoy playing WoW.
Just an FYI, they reverted the turned off XP queue thing a couple years ago. There is no standalone queue for people with xp turned off anymore.
thank you =)
wonderful thank you
robber235 so I can queue PvP faster now on my twinks?
Jesus I can’t believe so many people still think this. They changed it years ago. Literally! Lol
@@isaema3566 That's correct, they get put into standard BGs for those brackets now.
1. Go outside
Sonfontalody The warlock directions unclear got killed by bear
go outside.... to gamestop to buy new games?
2. Play Old School Runescape.
Frosty Cane xD
SeanTheGreenBean what else would you do outside
> Calls them Auction House Goblins
> None of your toons are Goblin
Fraud.
My main was a goblin for a few years
I've been getting a lot of comments on this video about "Why dont you just uninstall" "Just play another game" or "Wow its sad a video like this has to be made 2 months after launch".
And yah thats it.
Nothing more to add to that really, just acknowledging them. Some people are still enjoying the game doing other stuff but that doesnt make those comments any less true! If your not having fun just play a different game. Thats pretty obvious I'd think.
BUT if you did want to get into some of the stuff on the list like RPing, pet battles, or Gold making I have a bunch of videos in the videos description that can help you get started.
yeah. blizz just put out a 3 free day trial for returning players im sure its cause the game is dying and they want to get people back.
WoW has been "literally dying" since forever. xD
I think allot of your subs are kids who need to keep their hate comments to themselves do they really think bringing up "oh the games dieing." Or telling people to unsubscribe... They are just repeating what hate mongers are saying and personally. It's annoying to see people repeat the same dumb comments... Animals that mimic people are more entertaining then constantly stumbling upon comments that are bland unoriginal statements from years in the past... Soo to the people who hate the game and feel like they need to comment it everytime a video comes out. Stop opening UA-cam break your computer and go make something for yourself... If not shut up and find something that entertains you. Don't just go around throwing oh this is dumb just unsubscribe. Blah blah blah it's fucking annoying. Juat as annoying as asmondgold... Srsly. Either way I enjoy your videos! Always gives me an idea of something to do in the game.
Or for example a comment a really handsome person made about going outside
What gabe fowler said, basically. Don't even mind most of those people, chances are they're mere trolls. Yh, well, not the WoW ones.
As for the game, to me it feels like there will always be something to do in it that you can enjoy... the only thing that matters is if you find those activities enough to keep you subscribed.
Personally, I think it's long lost its charm and it's just not that fun anymore overall (especially if you often end up playing alone -- like I usually do since I go afk every 20 min :s), because I'm also not a fan of all the grinding that means *nothing* after a while, but tbh I still find it more complete and awesome than any other video game I've seen/played and I keep coming back every 3-4 months mainly for collecting and playing around with transmog or b-pets, or even levelling a char a bit or farming some old mount I haven't got yet due to bad luck and taking some really long breaks ...to give ya an idea, the Brewfest ones and Ratstallion are the most recent mounts I farmed for (it was good fun to PvP in the sewers tho). But yh, generally, for a list of favorites, new or old. It's not enough to keep me playing tbh, but there's something above all that makes me return: The calmness in several areas of the game. Together with (in my case, mild) depression and nostalgia. It's not just that I miss old days though. This world still treats ppl who are truly sad about certain things like shit or like they have/are the problem, when in reality it's the world that has the worst probs and depression is more like the outcome of those problems. Point is, this world makes me mad and I need something to help me empty my mind from all the shit and feel peaceful again. WoW is great for that.
So, maybe instead of playing video games we should be doing something to change what's wrong in this world. Just playing WoW will never help with that I'm afraid. And I know most ppl who play this game care :) Well, hope so. Oh, it could help in a sense... if we'd unite somehow. I still have faith in ppl who play this game since I chat with many. This might sound a bit unfair/ungrateful but I've met more supportive ppl in-game or on the internet in general than in real life.
Anyhow. Before I get teary I'll just echo what others have basically said, only minus the sarcasm: We need to find something else to do, a purpose. Video games in general won't cut it imo but if that's what you like still, after all these years, and you're content with playing video games until you're 45, simply find another video game for a while, yes (it's not the same but what can you do?). And/or keep taking breaks until you feel like playing again. Or try to become a dev yourself. That way you could unite with others who feel the same and create the games of your dreams :p But don't whine about this game anymore. I used to put some effort into trying to make them see they've taken the wrong direction with some changes (and they even listened to me and others like me who, for example, were asking for a system like transmog or for melee hunters on the forums) but we don't own the game and not everyone wants the same from the game anyway. I kept mentioning we need more options btw. In the end, let them manage it the way they want to. Most of us need to move on anyway. The game won't go anywhere and it'll always have active players, just not enough to make it as great as it used to be. And maybe, just maybe, we could find something better to do with our time. Dunno.
That's all, I hope I won't be misunderstood. And apologies for the wall of text :p
I dislike BFA. There is something about it I just can't stand. At the same time, I love the overall game too much to call it quits. Therefore, recently I've been leveling an Alliance-character (always mained Horde). I haven't used any heirlooms or dungeon finders. I've just been leveling through some old zones I remember and some that I've never done a quest in. It has been truly rejuvinating. Just reading every quest-dialog, understanding the motivation behind every quest, and just experiencing the zones instead of rushing through them. It has made me appreciate the game so much more to the point where BFA doesn't really bother me anymore. Highly recommend doing this if you want some nostalgia mixed in with new things you've never seen before.
I'm sort of doing this myself. I skipped Legion, so I have been leveling a Demon Hunter for the opposing faction, while slowing bringing up all of my alts. I've never been this into leveling up all of my alts before. I just started a brand new hunter but have him decked out in heirlooms. I might do what you did and reroll my druid or pally and not use any heirlooms just to see what that's like again (maybe once I unlock an allied race?). I'm actually really looking forward to the Burning Crusade timewalker event, because I'm feeling nostalgic and want to run Steamvaults and Arcatraz "at level" again
You perfectly described how I feel about BFA. There's just so much that you HAVE to do at max level, that it's overwhelming and I'm not enjoying it. But I still love the game, as a whole. I do have a ton of low level alts that I've been meaning to play. I think I'll give your idea a try.
Exactly the same here, I do t really know what direction or what motivation there is, so just plod through a quite unexciting expansion - I dont think people will look back on this one fondly
I did the same thing. A few months ago was the first time I returned to wow after a long period of not playing and started leveling through missions only, reading every one of them and I felt like as I rediscovered the game. I've learned so much about the lore just by doing that. I'm currently leveling an Alliance (and as you, I've always mained a Horde) and it's the best decision I've made.
That something is listed in this game... All these things on this list are the same as last expansion, their hasn't been enough innovation in the farming elements to make people excited. Azerite really made the grind more in your face and showed how broken the game is in its developer celebrate feature that has now been the bane of their customer interactions.
The game is not Legion 2.0... its more Legion 1.5 in many aspects and that's not good, people were already depressed at the end of Legion, BfA was suppose to rejuvinate players... not present the same thing back at them. It takes about 3 months for depression to hit a MMO player base... it hit BfA players in half that time and it makes pursuing most of the items on this list difficult for people to motivate themselves into.
'I have a friend that parks all of her toons outside of one raid...'
Nice not so subtle shout out to Hazelnuttygames :P
Transmog is the real endgame.
EDIT: Also, 100% an Altoholic here. I don't have much time to play, but I love leveling new characters. It is BY FAR my favorite thing to do. One day I hope to have a character of every race at max level.
Back when I played WoW, my favorite thing to do (after starting new characters to see the other starting zones and classes) was just exploring. Flying and climbing and swimming around to little out-of-the-way areas with no quests, only unimportant NPCs, maybe some buildings or ruins.
One of the things i like about farming mounts and pets is that you will always have them and that they will always be as useful as when you get them.
Farming for better gear is fun too, but when a new expansion comes, all your top gear will be worth nothing.
But your mount and pets will still have the same value and work just as well with a new expansion. :)
I still love and use the favourite mount i got 3 expansions ago, but i can not even remember the top gear from that time. :)
actually 2000% true
This is a really good point!
Many mounts have unique requirements and might be more fun to chase down as you explore the world.
I haven't played WoW in years. My poor lvl 85 rogue may never see playtime again...
But these videos really make me want to resubsxribe... I wanna experience this Season of Discovery, but i worry it's too late to start. Idk!
But i liked your comment it was a perspective i hadn't thought of, that makes a ton of sense!!!
You forgot a big one - TOYS! I love collecting those! Throwing down some rare ones any time you have to wait (raiding, AH, queues, you name it) is always fun.
When I saw Altoholic was #1 I knew that was me, because I will level alts over and over and over AND OVER, usually with my same few fave classes; Hunter, Warrior, Monk and Mage in that order. There is something so fun about leveling in those low-level zones and doing those low-level dungeons that really makes me happy. Combine this with RP so you can make a bunch of characters or twinking and you can have a grand ol' time!
Theriomancer because you have a goal and target to aim for while levelling. I too find myself making alts over and over, the levelling journey is just way more fun at the moment!
i love pulling out my credit card for a boost to
I did this once
I use the altoholic way to do the lore master on the go. Its much more appealing to me than doing it on a max level
Theriomancer you can finish levelling my rouge then! ;)
Nice video my dude, I bet most of us know about these alternatives already but adding a slightly deeper level of info to each of them was a reeeeally nice touch imo
Thank you for posting this. There seems to be endless “nothing to do” videos but in reality there is a lot to do and still fun.
RPers really make the world more atmospheric, its pretty cool when youre just walking around and you see some band of rpers, makes the world feel more alive.
Also getting postmaster achievement is great, would reccomend.
Loved the video! I have been a WoW player since LK launched. This is my first MMORPG ever to play. I am a mom, a wife of 33yrs, a daughter with responsibilities ....and to get wow time is still a thrill. The things to do in this game are endless, depending on the type of player you are. I can truly just pick something that fits my mood. I have tried other games, there is nothing I could find that offers the gambit that Warcraft does imo. I have just started working on Loremaster Achievement again. Thank you for the video, gave me a couple of ideas. =)
Me: I'll never reinstall woW again.
Friends: Hey, we all got into the next expansion, it'll be great let's all play together like in old times!
*Returns to WoW*
*Everyone starts to not show up because real life happens*
*We manage to do some mythics and LFR by miracle before I'm all alone*
Me: Well, I'll level up alts, farm mounts and transmogs I guess -_-'
Omg story of my fucken life man!!
I hear you. I haven't had a friend in WoW in some time. I quit for awhile during MoP (worst expansion ever) and then again during the last one. I came back for this one and am happy using it as a time sink.
I started playing in legion, I've levelled 5 alts to 120, and on my alliance server I have a 70 DK and a 110DH. So I do play bfa content, haven't raided yet, I've done countless island expo's on my horde 120 DH but I spend alot of my time doing old content almost trying to catch up 😂 so like daily quests, mount farms, old raids etc :D
As the #5 tamer on Wyrmrest Accord, I really appreciated your pet battle section.
Ahhh, Tournament of Ages. What a blast that was! Moonguard and Wyrmrest Accord, of which I am more the latter, are the best places to start.
I don't play WOW anymore (but watching this channel makes it tempting to get into it again). When I was playing WOW my "hobby" was creating the best and/or sleek looking UI I could. Trying out and testing addons both old and new was a great thing to pass time. It took a fair bit of time to get a pixelperfect UI for each class and role in PVE and PVP, but I found it very rewarding to have completed the perfect UI for my characters.
I also like farming maps, flying dot to dot for mining nodes is VERY relaxing. I do miss actually filling up a mining bag with stacks of 20 though, a little hard to do with stacks of 200.
I have a friend who has been playing 29 twink BG's since the beginning. And so on occasion I will go hit the low level battles with him and a few other friends. Just a minor correction to your video, Blizzard removed the restriction on XP-off characters in BG's only queuing up with other XP-off characters. Now everyone can queue with everyone again. Otherwise, wonderful content keep up the great work.
Thats good to know! I couldnt find much info on modern twinking
Thank you for confirming this. I was pretty sure that was wrong.
wow thanks fort he information!!! now i can create an twink again
@@MomoLopez83 Yes sir i got a 29 lvl war twink I Fuck up everyone
29 twinks? BS... the amount of realms required and lacking money needing...
I knew about all of these, but for the ones that were not obvious (like pet battles) I really just wanted a comprehensive rundown and you did a splendid job at that, so thank you very much. Great video overall, glad to see someone whose view is not narrowed by : Azerite armor sucks, waiting for lore sucks, WoW in it's 8th expansion is one-dimensional. I've been trying to get back into WoW a little more seriously, and I love Bfa so far (from a filthy semi-casual player's point of view) and I seem to have missed out on tons of little things that spice up your gameplay like these tons of add-ons. I'd like you to share with me, if possible, what sort of add-ons you use to make your gameplay feel more immersive or just improve it by making things more smooth and easy ( like the rogue add-on in legion that let you open the door to the uncrowned automatically, although it was silly thing to ask for )
I do level 20 twinking to do dungeons with the best gear at my level with my brother as he cannot afford the monthly subscription
Right when you started talking about mount collecting I got the mount off Anzu to drop. Eerie coincidence but now im subbed haha.
11. Iron man runs. Level a character from 1 with no gear higher than white quality, no talents or spec. When you die, delete the character.
Or just pure naked run (or just underwear with a shirt). Possible on almost all classes. Monks actually are probably the best. Warriors are challenging but quite fun.
Hardcore mode. Play until you die and delete the character
Haven't played in a few years, and don't even have the last two expansions (my max level is 98). Game lost it's appeal and jumped on the Ironman Challenge when it popped up, then the Naked Challenge. If you think the game has gotten too easy, try Ironman.
@@noctusowl - Naked, I found Druids the easiest, followed by Monks. Warriors most difficult (except for petless Hunters, which I later disqualified).
Not entirely possible anymore due to artifact weapon needing to use that in some cases of legion, same with bfa, but i doubt anyone going to make it to that point in the first place, unless they find a way to get xp without killing shit, i do not remember if proffesions were allowed or not.
Excellent video. Thank you!
“You will be surprised how many people love the game and have never set foot in a raid.” Said no elitist ever.....
Awesome video man :) Really enjoyed it ^^
I can say at my time i was Achivment and Mount and Transmorgh farmer :D loved pet battles, loved everything :D
My favorite youtuber for making Wow Video's I love your channel! I play wow too as a Horde character but also play other games! You should do whatever you feel like in your spare time. Keep up making great content!
Great video and I love the spotlight on the RP community.
Forgot one...
Archeology farming
Have a good day!
My alts are for a bit of a different reason, though I love leveling new toons too. It's the way I learn specs I have not tried better. I learn a spec better leveling it and getting my skills and such from level one and not just switching a max toon or higher level and just getting a shit ton of skills and stuff all at once. I know a few friends who laugh at me for doing it that way, but it works for me!
Mount farmer and altaholic here! I was so happy to get the Forgotten Hipogryph, just finding 3 of the crystals up right next to each other randomly the other week, *while* the Court of Fandoris emissary quests were up at that! My husband and I have a whole soap opera going on with our alts too, so I guess I can add RP'er to my list too. I almost never do raids until an expansion or two later (and mostly the mount-dropping ones), and almost never PvP. Love transmog too - finally got my Mog Yak!
I never thought I'd be in a Hiru video, much less my entire RP guild. Nice surprise today!
lol 7:37 looks like goldshire inn on moonguard. I had to check out the rumors about that place and that's what it looks like when i got in there
Geeze, reading these comments of "unsub" "uninstall""quit the game" and others along that vein make wonder why they even watched a video titled "10 Alternative things to do in WoW" other than to just put their salty comments in.
I happen to think your list was great, and actually have been what I've been doing all expansion because health issues prevent me from more "normal" things, like raiding, or dungeons. I have to be able to get up and leave at a moments notice, an issue not condusive to longer group activities, so achievement hunting, transmog hunting, mount hunting, doing every quest, etc has been where I have found my fun this xpac. IMO anyone can find fun somewhere in the game if they just try. Hopefully they never get to my situation to where they are forced to, but when put in that situation, you become quite creative if you want to continue doing something you enjoy.
Cool.
I unsubbed.
what a snowflake the internet was not made for you
I'm glad you enjoy the game still. Don't mind the trolls.
Hello, thanks for your comment. I am also at home recovering after surgery. I have so much time i farm many thing I havent farmed yet. Hunt for transmog, achievments, sell all old crap on many alts and so on. Only thing thet is missing are my old friends I used to play with many years ago. :)
These things to "do" literally existed in previous expansions. And they are god damn trash compared to previous expansions. The mogs are shit, there are no sets, the treasures are a joke. Mounts are okay... except the parrot shit from lame island expeditions.
There is nothing to enjoy, leveling is shit now. If I wanted to beat mobs like they are from god damn fucking raids in terms of HP, i'd join a god damn raid!
Pet battles are pointless and a joke. Roleplaying is pathetic, just no. I did that as a teen on BYOND games and i've outgrown such a childish and pathetic thing. Hell most people are terrible at roleplaying in this game, it's so shallow and cringy there are just no words.
Altoholic watching your videos while leveling and it's kind of cool that you mentioned people like us.
Thank you, I am one of the people you mention in the beginning. I learned early on Raids and Dungeons were never going to be my thing, but the actual World of Warcraft has kept me interested with all the things you mentioned here over the years. I don't need to be the best or the fastest, not that that makes me better, it just makes me more relaxed and that's why I play. Most players I come across think I am stupid, but for sure I am happy always when I play and I have played since the first year. Thanks for making me feel less weird and for your videos in general.
Patricia Nicasio I'm on the same page as you! The players that think people like us are stupid are probably the ones complaining about how awful the game is but still playing.
@@Yummicookie1979 LOL I have always wondered about those people too!
Think i might try getting that Ulduar title since I have a few 80s laying around fully geared.
Watching your playlist while levelling alts, course I've gotta have that 8th banktab on my solo guild bank- yeah I get the altaholics😁
You're a legend, thanks buddy!
Cool vid, thank you.
My most time consuming mount grind was the mount from Stratholme, so many runs...but I loved it once I got it.
My usual thing to do was raise reputations. I always saw it as my character being some kind of heroic figure that has done good for lots of tribes and cities.
I played till Cata and am back now getting ready for Classic, done some of your mentions , the 2 i did most was AH and achievments especially Insane in the membrane
This is my new favorite video on the channel
The list was spot on...No 1 especially, since i am an altoholic myself :P
I've farmed for mounts too much. All for no return. Dont have Rivendare's Deathcarger, dont have Invincible, dont have either of the rare dragons from Northrend, no Mimiron's head. Its a brutal farm for hardly any reward.
I'm also a huge altoholic. I would always just make a new character, get him to anywhere from 20-60 and then delete him.
But this game isnt near as fun as it used to be so even all this stuff I get burnt out on.
I'm in the same boat with you buddy. I did TK with a friend tonight and he got fucking Ashes of Al'ar.
Great video, I've done all of these at one point, I am still an altaholic.
There is always raising Kua'fon. This also completes the achievement: How to Ptrain Your Pterrordax. This is Horde only and requires 120. It starts with farming for an egg (from pterrordaxes). This is a low drop rate item (I just happened to get it questing and assumed it was something everyone got). This egg starts a quest called "Child of Pa'ku". You take it to her and she has you take it to a nest as it's about to hatch. Out of the egg comes Kua'fon, who now thinks you're it's momma. This starts a long process of dailies (sort of like getting the raptor in Un'Goro Crater). This is a series of meta quests completed through dailies, with each meta taking a couple of days to complete. When you do his daily you earn a bit of rep with him (there's a little progress bar above his head). In addition to this, if you miss a day you lose a little bit of rep (lorewise it's his trust or bonding bar). Remember your character is literally raising this baby Pterrordax. In the end you are rewarded with an achievement and a mount (that weirdly doesn't show in the mount tab if you don't have him). I'm still working on this and should be done in about a week. There's a little bit of comedy as Kua'fon can't seem to get the hang of flying (much to Pa'ku's disappointment).
great video again!
Your videos have been a breath of fresh air amidst a lot of complaining. Thank you.
Farm reputation. Like getting Bloodsail buccaneers to exalted then getting all steamwheedle cartel reps to exalted while keeping the Bloodsail one. Thats a farm i'll never forget lol
how you do that?
I was literally leveling my alt while listening to this video.
My personal favorite as of late is going for the old raid meta achievements. Most are soloable, but ringing up a friend or two to finish up the last couple is very rewarding, and most of the mounts are top notch
Still in a guild from a early expansion (WOTLK) we all locked our exp at 80, and i have just recently got "Shadowmourne" for my DK.
I thought you were WTBgold when I heard your voice but stayed because your video is so well constructed and voice was not annoying compared to his videos. I enjoy mellow videos like this.
Hirumaredx, you have a very relaxing voice. I am watching this while I farm old 5 mans for rep wearing the Ironforge tabard so I can get exalted , to get the Dwarf Heritage trasmog set.
She is a female dwarf warrior, and one of my many alts. So I am Alt-o-holic-ing , while rep farming and trasmog hunting.
Watching a loooot of hirumaredx
while...leveling my 14th toon...
Yep, playing the wait for Classic game myself at the moment.
Mount farming and raiding has been and maybe always will be my main 2 reasons to play wow. Also have quite an amount of alts and toys
Nice editing work, you got the like just for that
I stopped pretending like Frost DK was okay and switched to Monk.
I unlocked an ally Race [Nightborne]
I do older raids for Transmog
I gather like a chipmonk for Winter. Herb, Cooking, and Fishing.
I stalk the market to see what sells high and buys low.
Missing out on Siege of Boralus, I realized how important rep farming was, so I complete my dailies daily.
I level pets, so far 2 are level 10.
I look for ways to upgrade my transmog, and what mounts/pets I can hunt for.
PvP is fun, unless the team has no teamwork, then it feels like just work /afk
Dungeons are a waste of precious, precious gold, about 50g per death. [Inb4 stop dying].
tl;dr, I'm looking to be a self-made market guy.
#1 Wait for classic (as opposed to going outside)
I mainly play WoW for collecting (mounts/toys/transmog) and RP. I'll do raiding, PVP, etc just to get the appearances and hopefulyl use them on a new RP character!
Level 1 exploring/twinking was my thing up to Cataclysm. Was Huge fun. Can't really get to the expansion zones that come after Cataclysm now on a level 1, so Blizz put paid to that fun alternative.
Looking for myself like a hawk in this video to see if I snuck in somewhere during the Argent Tournament RP.
Lol that priest at #10 was so cute with her hat
This video is brilliant. There is so much you can do in wow that, if you even wanted to, you couldn't do it all without turning the game into a full time job.
People who doesn't like the game because it has "Nothing to do" should leave.
agreed
I have to agree that mounts farming is the no. 1 thing to do aside from armors collecting for me :D
me leveling an alt right now with your videos on loop:
you didn't need to call me out like that
Twink pvp hasn't died actually. Blizz removed the xp lock brackets as the scaling came along.
but they put pvp templates in legion, which makes BiS gear less effective, so you can't overpower other players most of the time, which is the real reason to do twinking in the first place
@@joseph.wilson that's been removed. Gear matters now in low level PvP.
IM SO GLAD YOU PUT RP IN THIS LIST! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I played WoW for 3 years, and in all that time I only ran a handful of raids with the guild I was in. Mount collecting was my favorite thing to do, right next to lore hunting.
When I played, I was a main supplier for certain materials for some raiding guilds. I was their sole provider for such materials. In return, I made a boatload of gold and was invited to do some stuff with them. I wasn't too terribly geared for having a bunch of crafted, handed down, looted, and auction bought epics. I could have been better geared but I lacked the time and motivation to do the 20 and 40 man raids. I preferred the 5 man dungeons. I also participated in a good chunk of world PvP.
Lv 19 drani priest twink, both pvp/pve was my most invested toon, all bis items including lucky fishing hat svg trinkets boa's 2x arthas rings and the wsg achieve/tittle
The altholic is like finding fun in the travel, not into getting at the destination point (something I really prefer than raiding, hate to have fixed times to play wow).
I farm mounts, I've pvp'd for about 10 years to get a glad mount, ideally a red or black armored proto drake, and blizzard finally gave me one. So I farmed the hell out of 3s and now have a dope mount and gladiator. Thanks blizz
i love hearing what you have to say hiru just like Chills
I like your views on farming stuff that is not item levels from a raid. Everything else in the game holds its value longer than item level, yet people look down on it
I don't get most of the comments in this video.
For me, the fun in WoW is doing all these things, finding your journey and playing through it. I have a friend who is new at WoW and he feels like there's so much to do in WoW, he wants to farm mounts but he feels he's busy right now because most of the time we do arenas and the daily bgs. He wants to farm for transmog, he wants to farm old reps in order to get mounts, etc. He's not interested in achievments, but he feels like there's so much to do. For me, I just got Pathfinder part 1 in the last hour, I only run LFR every week and I mostly do pvp and world quests. When I have some free time from those things, I go to The Broken Isles because I didn't play much in Legion and I want an allied race, so I need to farm reps there. I have 211 mounts and I feel proud of that, when I see some of them I remember farming the reputations and that feels great. I'm not a fan of farming mounts that have a low % of dropping from old raids tho, but I sometimes do it with my friend. I love pet battles and I have most of the achievments from the old world, but I haven't gotten deep into BfA pets yet.
For me, playing a MMORPG is all about those things. Not only raiding for gear and then leaving the game, I find no interest in that style of playing the game, but you have to find your own style and enjoy it.
I wish leveling was more fun, but I find it boring as fuck. But I wish I'd have more characters. Right now I only have my main at 120 and a couple of 110's and 100's, and more around 70 or 80. I feel like there's so much more to explore for me in WoW and I've been playing since 2011.
Scrubs
I can happily agree with you. I'm at I wanna say 252 mounts got 120 main and a bunch of 100s and scattered levels between 20-80. I've run into so many small hidden things that just gets my mind running. From the hidden red dragon in AQ to the Titan cave underwater. To hunting down cosmetics and doing secret unlocks. Always something to keep me busy. I enjoy it all cause some of the places you stumble upon may turn into something
That's a really nice perspective. I will try to keep this in mind. Thanks
I level alts, make gold, farm transmog, Pet battles are also good for xp. What I like about mounts is if there is a expansion your gear gets out leveled ect.. But with mounts they can always be used in next expansion.
Yesterday I finally got the Azure Water Strider, took me like an hour... FeelsGood
I hate BFA and I’m super bored with it but I still very much want to play the game. so I’ve just been doing old stuff that I never did, I was gonna try to get Draenor Pathfinder but I can’t stand being in Tanaan lmao
"An hour"
#NoFlyNoSub
Pathfinder is TERRIBLE! Ion needs to be fired!
@@bentkras yeah, an hour. I used timewalking badges to get the rep for it.
Sees Hiruma upload new alternative things to do.
Just waiting for him to talk about Pet Battles.. Again.
I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but on the off chance it hasn't... Una doesn't allow you to fight Baa'l unless you do her quest line as well. You have to travel around with her, taking her places to get her items. That's a whole other long quest line XD.
I used to be a hardcore player when I was young, but once Cata rolled around I started falling off the raiding train. My raiding guild fell apart due to some drama, and I just spent my WoW days trying to have fun with my friends who remained. College rolled around for me and now I work. I don't know that I'll ever go hardcore again, and I do take breaks and unsub from time to time. My biggest break was most of legion, a year +. I recently came back from a two month hiatus after a death in the family. BFA seemed great at first but it's starting to feel dry. It stinks because I keep coming back because WoW is a game I love so much. But there are lots of things to do in game that I do enjoy. I love gold making, I like to challenge myself and make new characters on new servers and see how much gold I can make, I mount collect and pet collect, I go after achievements (currently working on wrapping up Loremaster). Like I said I don't play as much as I used to. And I do play other games outside of WoW (Smash has been controlling my life the past few days, lol). Good video, mate. If you're gonna keep playing the game, might as well do some of these rather than just sit AFK in SW/Org/Dal.
Also most battle pet quests/trainers work the way you said, but the ones in BFA zones scale to the highest level pet you have on your 3 man team when you start the fight. So if you have 3 level 1s, they'll have 3 level 1s.
I remember back when I played in Wrath, after I hit max level, I decided that I wanted to complete every quest in Northrend...well every quest that wasn't a raid quest as back then LFR wasn't a thing and I was not social enough to form a raid. I managed to get Icecrown done before I quit but I still have pride in having accomplished it.
Hiru never played competitiv Pokemon is all i learned in this video.
Ion, The WoW Killer
I tried RP a few years ago, and although I could never really get into it (it wasn't my thing), I found that the community was extremely kind and patient with newcomers. If you screwed up, they'd try to roll with it, and would whisper you advice on what is and isn't considered RP, without being dicks about it.
Even though I quickly gave up on it, I still play on RP servers just because the community makes the world feel so much more alive.
Hiru, we are very much alike, you and I. I have the same logic about gear vs cheezments/toys/pets/mounts. I too am a hella alcoholic...makes farming the aforementioned easier XD
I've been mount farming BC and WotLK content since I started playing again a few months ago. Something about it is cathartic and relaxing. Plus sometimes you just get really lucky! I stepped foot into Firelands for the first time ever two nights ago and the pure blood firehawk dropped. Farmer for life lol.
I’m an achievement and mount collector, those are my favorite activities in wow! I’ll finish all the current content, do the dungeons, and then I go hunting for those achievements and mounts! I’ve never stepped foot in a raid unless it’s old content!
me right there, will only step in raids if it is old content heh
MOUNTS! (foams at the mouth) That remindes me i need one more dragon for the awake the drakes achivement for...another mount.
Did somebody say mount farm?
The transmog I like to believe is like the cosplayers from Azeroth.
