Getting Help From Others! Classic VS Retail - WoW Machinima
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Have you ever struggled with a quest and a brave, and possibly bored, random player has come to your aid and helped you out? Well this is what we cover in today's machinima video! We'll take a look at how people in classic and BfA get help from strangers to complete a quest! After all, healthy relations within the community is what shapes a great online game.
Also, apologies for the absence! I have been on a 2 week long holiday, after which my computer had some issues and wouldn't work properly, so I had to get that sorted. But everything's good now so we should be back to our regular... irregular schedule.

God I hate quillboars.... And yet I cant wait to get devoured by them in a couple of weeks
Pls remememember to subscrable and Share this video with everyone, including your middle school teacher.
HQ videos, very good upvoted! Plz more to quench our classic thirst until release.
This one has an actual story with me and an orc warrior on the classic stress test.
So I was a tauren shaman doing that GOD AWFUL quilboar quest, the requirement was to find stolen loot and bring it back. What was the catch? That the loot was surrounded by a Quilboar army, sitting next to elite mobs. So, I thought about trying to do it solo. *Take a guess*
Then, this orc warrior I saw in the distance was trying to go through the quilboar army as well. We ended up teaming against the quilboards to grab the loot, what ended up happening was that he would get their attention, and i'd loot the first box, then we'd do the same thing but reverse.
AND IT WORKED! We ended up running for our damn lives on the 2nd one as the quilboars chased us, eventually, we escaped and we both cheered like no tomorrow! It was an amazing moment...Though I do wish I could have that same feeling on retail.
@@zextthenomad2916 That's beautiful
Where is the "extra-like" button?
Better to be Alliance! Only time you face those quillboars is when you raid X-roads!
When the orc got knocked off their mount from being hit by a grey level mob, I felt that.
my sides hurt when I saw that
this got recommended to me and I usually find machinima edits kinda cringe....but I laughed out loud. and hard.
""""their""""
Oh yeah 😂
@@saikonakoshi4334 this guys channel is pretty good
It's depressing how accurate the comparisons are.
Never played retail confirm
TheTrueFeleas yeah It is a true and I play retail myself
@@zeng58 so you need 10 people to solo a mob that takes 20 secs to kill yikes
@@VidyaMexican you don't need people are lazy. That's the point of the vid. Bfa wants instant gratification. Classic is about the adventure.
@@m1n1s1nk classic isn't about the adventure the game is fun because itemization is better than retail it's fun to gear out your charter and destroy people who are least geared than you that's it if retail had that it be a better game
The stun when he was riding off into the distance on his mount was too much for me.
Daze
f daze
I wanted to comment "daze" but I see others have come before me.
Every freaking time
I legit completely forgot about that. The sudden rush of memories hurt.
After watching this a few times I only just now noticed the night elf who was shit talking everyone was afk during the fight
Exactly like it is
And the one to the left was just dancing.
I mean, I assumed he was. I did not even check 🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes your buddies won’t be able to help and they’ll get slaughtered with you. But that’s okay! The real WoW is the friends you made along the way
Just say that you are noob on retail, link your io here if you Think you are good , m+ and Mythic Raid. I fcking hate all casual players like you. Go play Tetris
@@ElitePortraits Who the fck are you, Show some Respect to me, experience in leveling? Go twitch and check top 5 streamer, every1 in 5 man Groups, so skilled, cool wow experience, because of no heirlooms you have to make group to play . So Much skill, get the fck Out of my sight, casuals
@@fanulifanulis7798 you have no friends , no life and youre a dickhead . have fun playing your dead game and being so proud of it loser
@@paulymolly3616 dude you are pathetic, go play Tetris noobs, now retail is rly fun all noobs gone, no more Boosted Shit players with tunnelvision
@@fanulifanulis7798 Yikes
I like the minor differences in his gear when they meet again, bumping into old acquaintances in classic is the best :)
You never forget your first decent shoulder item
Those are the silksand shoulderpads i believe, i still remembee getting them
it helps that back then there was no such thing as Cross-Realm Servers, so a sense of community relationship was needed and familiarity went a long way on things.
Or running into a recurring enemy! Long ago, I had one rogue who kept tailing me (Resto Druid) around BGs. I was confident I could turn most fights in our favor, but it was a tossup if he was involved, and I kept bumping into him. I had to create an ally char to give him kudos - there was at least one match he turned because of him interrupting me.
You brought me to tears with the handclap ;-; Thank you
That was so wholesome and beautiful ;-;
Me: Uh, this is too easy. Classic WoW, Spit on me.
Classic Wow: *Spits on me*
Me: Mmm yeah, now tell me I'm scum
Classic Wow: you useless weak random adventurer go pick up boar shit for my mud pies and maybe I’ll give you 50 copper. The boar shit are elites that require 5 man group to pick up.
@@Mr_Edwards_1995 lmfao it can feel like that sometimes
LMAO
How does that cool you off?
How would that cool you off? Uhhh?
"I'm not paying $15 a month to do EVERYTHING myself!"
BAHAHAHA
*Warlords music plays in the background as boar is slaughtered*
I felt bad for that poor boar
1:53 **forms a lasting bond after getting their butts handed to them by mobs**
This is truly a beautiful site to behold!
I remember when Hogger was an undertaking requiring you to team up with multiple people or get boosted.
Now I solo everything.
And I started a new undead yesterday and the questgivers kept saying stuff like "oh I can tell you're going to be the most amazing [class] ever."
Like, I'm a lvl 4. Treat me like the vermin I am.
Guys from M+ groups and raids will treat you like the vermin :)
like warlock class trainers that always tell you how fucking miserable and powerless you are and you should gtfo out here :D
That was the beauty of vanilla wow, it encouraged people to group up to finish elite quests. Current wow, you can solo almost anything even elites because they amp up the damage you do or they weaken the mobs. I'm excited for classic and I'm glad I can actually have something to look forward to. Haven't been playing since warlords (that ruined it for me).
@@commonsense7793 you can do solo even more in classic if u are not stupid, its possible by several classes to clear high lvl dungeons solo, as a hunter u can pretty much solo everything except raids, can u do solo dungeons in retail or clear raids designed for 40 man only by two players as a fucking tank and heal?
@@Bloodmoor269 You're missing the point I was trying to say. Sure you could, but it's nice to group up and meet new people, make the gaming experience more fun, and possibly make new friends. But I suppose that could be done when doing pugs for dungeons as well. I just remember when I first played vanilla back then, the challenge was real for me and I've made a lot friends. We all love the game 😜
The first part with the classic players, that reminds me so much of my time in BC. I came across a rouge and we became good friends, dueled a lot and quested even more. Great times.
Your machinimas really have high tier production vaules.. keep up the good work dude! :) BTW Classic in less than 12 days
Woooo cant wait!!
Man... havent watched machinimas in a long time, but it really does come with vanilla
The best part of this game is not those shiny weapons or ugly armors. It's the friendship from battles that we rarely experienced in our real life.
No, its the shiny weapons and ugly armor
who cares, i need the epic loot
"rarely", meaning you experienced IRL such battles as the ones your wow character did 🙂
I played vanilla just for items so...
Even on the opposite side, the negative times are so easy to remember lol. Remember in warlords, I was in a raid guild. For some reason, despite having several people on our raid team geared for heroic raiding (myself included, had an IRL friend in a hardcore raiding guild, so he often managed to talk his guildies into letting me DPS heroics with them which was awesome) we struggled on normal raid tiers because people would fudge the mechanics. One day I asked our guild leader if I could adjust the strat we did one specific fight to the way my friends heroic guild did it, because it massively simplified the job of the ranger dps. When I went to set the markers, our tank and his healer wife went ballistic because they “are the ones who decide our strats” and when my guild leader refused to let them walk over me over a simple request that I had made ahead of time, they both left the guild. I just ended up having my IRL friend bring his heroic geared tank in, we did his guilds strat, and one shot a boss our guild had never beaten before. To this day I still find myself wondering wtf was wrong with those people lmao.
Classic is coming soon my dudes ❤ love the video man
Thanks my dude :) I can't wait!
You did such a good job making the boar show emotion. I actually felt sorry for it.
I can relate to the gnome.
The gnome actually wanted an mmo rpg experience
Me too...me too
The gnome will play classic
I'm usually the one who helps players like the gnome. I still try to convey the mmo experience. If everyone is nice to each other no one needs to be disappointed.
Sorry you don't have friends.
0:48 I love how you animated his gostform fading into life even if it was just for a split second.
Beautiful details all over this vid
I laughed at the orc getting dazed.
How can someone not sub after this work of art? Well done.
I just subed
Why? Sub to a 15 year old nostalgia trip where no new content will be added but you will be charged a full sub fee? Sorry no.
@@PaulRizzo504 He meant to the channel you idiot
2:36 that's Tyler1's scream lmao
HAHAHAAH TRUE LOL :DDDDDDDD
Finally found the comment
Scrolled too much for thid
LOL i didn't realize xD well done frend
Cancer1*
I talked to more people in the first 3 hours of WoW Classic that 2 years of Retail WoW (Legion and BFA)
Ha fake! No one ever talks that much in a rare killing group ever! I think I went a year of using the WQ group finder multiple times a day before 1 person said something in party chat.
youre right, im sorry for this
haha its supposed to be vanilla logic tho.
vanilla was actually very social.
it's the same on every server every private server too.
some people even rage at you for being social in 2020.
i was having a conversation in guild and some asshat got mad because we were talking.
accepting this feeds the problem and it will just get worse.
Bro im chilling with my controller. No need to make me sit straight for a mob.
@@olfan92 im social in the game when others are and am usually all for grouping up if others want to, but I can understand why alot of people just want to get things done and move on.
You have to remember that most of the people who played wow back in vanilla times were younger but now aways they have jobs, kids, and other rl responsibilities and no longer have as much time to dedicate to the game.
Both versions of the game have their pros and cons, but neither are bad. It just depends on what you want out of the game
@@Whooachannel it's a MMO, the point is to be social. Play a single player game if u don't want interaction.
Omfg someone actuallly doing wow machinimas in 2019. I love it dude, keep up the good work
Thanks, Im glad you like it!
@@CaptainGrim today at work i was telling myself no one does Machinimas in 2019.... all do pod casts and crap becasue youtube policy.... man you are a HERO :' ) Thanks.
You always have great visual/slapstick humor in your videos, its awesome how creative you can get with handmade animation bits
Thanks platinum

The death of the big brother boar on his other video is top 1 saddest death
@@CaptainGrim Isn't that Tyler1? XD
@@abeldries665 yup xD
oh please, the death of the PvP Vendor was way more sadder.
I never would have thought I would be watching a new WoW machinima in 2019. Thank you!
And that is why I keep player health bars displayed at all times. If anyone comes into my field of view I know if they need assistance or not.
And I'm always happy to barge in a save a pal !
What a bro, thank you for your service
Is that in settings or an add on? Ima be healing so I wanna start getting ready for classic lol
@@JJ-no8fk It's a setting you can turn on in some options. Display names and health bars of friendly companions, enemies etc.

I’ve been having such a hard time finding a good wow animator since Nixxiom stopped. I’m so glad I found your channel! Funny and well done ❤️
Happy you liked it :)
Nix who? I only rember some person who made WoW animations back in the day, the name eludes me.
It will be sad when Captain Grim stops aswell.
@@Ragnarok182 OXHORN!
Wow that was actually hillarious and very veeeery accurate!
really well done, love the gear seller at the end!
I've been playing Wrath on private servers for years, a friend of mine wanted to play with me on BFA and since I didn't know what it was like I joined. No one talks, no one wants to group, the only social contact I had in the game was this enemy of mine who helped me kill an elite mob, we communicated trough emotes. It felt like a singleplayer game with very limited and optional multiplayer. I quit the game before my subscription ended.
The classic servers are a lot friendlier. People group up readily and help you if you are dying and they see it (for the most part, it always).
Dalaran?
This is a perfect video to watch, it gets me in the same feeling when I used to watch mini wow movies and play wow for hours.Nothing beats the feeling when you get saved by a random hero and then returning the favor down the road. Many Unspoken Friendships were made like this.Damm good times, cant wait for classic. Insantly Subscribe.
Ahh god I was waiting for the daze dismount. Perfection.
Damn those facial expressions on the GNOME. Well done.
Dude, your machinima is out of this world! Love your vids!
Thank you! Im glad you like it
Please keep making this, i had so much fun watching these videos ahahh.
WARNING! DO NOT WATCH AT WORK IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB!! DANGER OF LAUGHING HARD!!
You'd get fired for laughing? Where the hell do you work?!
1:55 "so umm... you wanna group up?" "hell yeah" bro thats so accurate
I've been playing classic since it dropped and I played retail since vanilla. I had no idea how much I missed the vanilla experience. This video is so spot on. Its pretty much why I would prefer to never go back to BoA. Lol
Another masterpiece. I absolutely love the way you give your characters life with their facial expressions and manual made animations.
Thanks ! Its much appreciated
The first part was absolutely hilarious , please MOAR!
Amazing quality and spot-on humor as always, my Captain. Keep up the great work
Wrong. Nobody talks let alone stick around after killing something in bfa
Yeah, lets all have a bro-off tea party after every elite mob
I do... I joined a pvp naz group and had a great time talking...
nah, it's usually their shitty lfg addon saying "thanks for group bye" etc
Everyone's gone from the group five seconds after the fight is done.
But on the bright side you can always make a group for questing. In the miscellaneous section. Where no one is going to see it.
Lmao
Dare I say Captain Grim might be the greatest WoW Machinma maker of all time - if not than surely the best out there right now. The facial expressions, sound effects, everything - it's masterful. Bravo.
This was just pure gold... And accurate af!
That was hilarous! Your and Platinum's WoW machinimas are the best out there
You just keep upping your animation for every video, it’s amazing!
The orc getting dazed off his mount and the Twisted Metal death scream when the giant boar exploded were nice touches.
*LMAO!*
1:07
ACCURATE.
Thanks for that video xD
You're welcome !

I love your accurate representation of how things were and are now. Your sense of humor is fantastic. Thanks for your hard work!
100% accurate. Your vids never fail to make me laugh out loud.
glad to hear it!
Grim, I absolutely love to see your channel growing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! I appreciate it a lot :)
That fucking *daze* had me rolling. I can't wait to play again!
Holy crap the animation is incredible
This is the first video I've seen of yours but it had me laughing so hard co-workers in the break room looked at me funny, anyways subscribbled blah blah blah keep up the awesome work!
hahaha thanks dude, thats pretty funny to hear :D
Made about 40 friends in the stress test, god the community is back and it is lovely!!
Same man, it was so easy to hang out on people, can't wait for the release!
This expressions dude, really nice detail, also love the random explosions XD
That daze dismount while trying to awesomely ride into the sunset was hilarious and accurate.
This should be getting way more views. Amazing job actually made me laugh pretty loud there!
Im happy you liked it man, cheers!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH , it gave me a big smile thank you Captain
This is perfectly accurate and hilarious as heck, laughed a couple times!
The tyler1 clip killed me :D great vid as always
Gut getroffen und nice, dass es nach so langer Zeit wieder witzige WoW machinima gibt. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass das nochmal passiert. Thx & weiterhin viel Spaß & Inspiration beim Spielen^^
That tyler1 scream on the boar had me in tears
I hate how accurate this is, but also love it because classic next week
"Are you... GOD?!"
Being a Warrior Main myself, I can see how he could easily make that mistake.
This video is fantastic on its own. However…
1:04 - This little throwaway gag puts the video _right_ over the top (in a good way). ❤
It is so brilliantly accurate that only gold sellers or boost sellers will actually reply to your whispers in retail. ONLY.
That story between the priest and the warrior is a very relevant and good story telling. Loved it!
I was expecting something a bit more contrived from the second half but I was genuinely surprised by the way you decided to take it. It had me dying, especially from the boars perspective
How is it possible that I didn't find your channel before? Your content is amazing! I've been laughing my ass off over the past hour after watching your videos. You rock my dude!
Great video! Found you through recommended and I really enjoyed the content...
very excited for Classic.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I can't wait for classic either, i'm constantly vibrating in excitement.
Man you're seriously reviving oldschool machinima... you have earned all my respect
0:43 OOO! This great ax is presented as a quest chain, only for the most true warriors 35 lvl!
So great , Grim, just as always! I really love the way you are doing machinimas - sincerely and very funny, just keep doing this and you will get a big audience! From russian fan with love ❤️
Happy you feel like that! thank you, its much appreciated :)
quality is amazing
I love your videos. The scripts, voiceovers, stories. Keep up the great work!
Aw thanks ! I really appreciate it :)
So much epic moments in just one clip?
1) Orc standing after dealing with mobs.
2) Are you God?
3) Hyena dazing and dropping from mount.
4) Epic High Five
Really well done dude
Thank you!
My all time favorite WoW memory is related to this, and comes from original vanilla. I was questing in Stranglethorn on my orc rogue on a PvE server. I had a quest to kill some elite troll and his two bodyguards, and after clearing the area, realized I probably couldn't take them. I asked in chat, but it was at an off hour and nobody was around. Then I noticed a human mage climb on top of the hill I was on, looking at the same quest mob. I destealthed and waved, he waved back. I pointed to the elite mob and shrugged, he nodded. So I pointed to one of the helpers, pointed to the mage, then pointed to a critter. Then I pointed to the other one and lay down to sleep. The mage nodded and moved into position. I went back into stealth.
I moved up to the one I had indicated to sleep and sapped him, the mage immediately polymorphed the other one and I engaged the boss, evade tanking him while the mage helped kill him. I got the credit for the quest then we killed the two helpers and backed off. I pointed to the mage, then the corpse of the quest mob. He thanked me, we did the same routine once they respawned, but I let him tag the boss for the credit. We both got the quest, waved, and went our separate ways. Here we were, on different factions with no way to talk to each other, yet we both completely understood what the other was doing and were able to come up with a plan to take out our mutual enemy. That kind of thing just couldn't happen today, but those are the memories that made vanilla WoW so great. Nothing today is memorable at all.
Donde estuvo este canal toda mi vida :O espectacular machinima
I loled so hard. Then i showed this to my friend, he loled af too. Quality content bro!
Glad you and your friend liked it man, cheers
So good. Best WoW Machinima i've seen since in a long time.
Dude your hilarious, keep doing, great job subbed.
Brillian "off the horse" bite detail.
This is just so accurate that I'm sickened by it lmao
I legit lmao'd at 1:07. Well played, sir. Well played
OMG so true!
Soon boys and girls!
World of Warcraft! Round Two!
Rounds implies actual progression.
No ty been there done that
This was amazing. Please animate a whole series
Since classic has the same people playing it won't be that different. When playing Stresstest everyone left the group after finishing the quest. You just need to have luck when meeting people, even in retail I sometimes meet people that stay with me on the quest after finishing, and I try to do that too. Sometimes you find a group that does the whole incursion together, or a bunch of world quests in a row. But mostly you meeet people like that while leveling the lower levels, you quest together, queue for a dungeon and even wait for them afk while farming mobs to share some XP while they are away. The level scaling made that more frequent because people don't leave your group because of outleveling the zone. So I would say it really says more about the character of the player than classic being classic.
EragoEntertainment I agree.
Captain Grim, you are my new favourite machinima artist!
I appreciate it :)
Withered sent me here, enjoyed the video and liked as well as subbed
cheers man :)
Dude, friend just linked this vid. Been going through your channel. Your vids are amazing, laughing my ass off over here. You definitely deserve some popularity.
Glad you enjoy my work man, thanks!
Thanks Asmon :)
Bro this just sums up my classic vs retail experience. Your videos are too funny.
This is so good! vanilla > current wow always
Man... that classic story. Painful to remember the joy of knowing and meeting people
