I'm 100% behind this guys point. His little story was better than the last 10 years of wow And WAY more interesting. Blizzard doesn't even know how to use mystery.
If someone thinks of a theme for a story they can probably write 50 stories that are just as interesting as this one. If you don't believe me than that's fine. You should try writing your own quest with only 3 things on mind. These things are theme, task, and story. The theme is the flavor text of the quest. Think of it like a genre or category of characteristics. The task is the list of activities the player does during the quest. The story is the writing that pieces everything together.
@@dakotashroom5401 You're describing a self-restricting framework that you've invented out of thin air. You could rewrite this whole story as a quest line about a serial killer NPC.
Well, yeah… it’s easy to make up ONE stand-alone story. But try writing 25 stories that ALL have to tie in to one story that was made up 20 years ago by a guy that’s no longer with the company and can’t be used for helpful info on the plans to tie them all in. I’m not giving blizzard a pass, by any means, but being super duper impressed by one story and shitting on a company that has been telling stories and … trying … to tie them all together for 25 years is … idk, weird.
@Bouzsi Yeah, but take it in the perspective of any media franchise, there are highs and lows, where a first few seasons were mid or maybe even okay but after they get really dull, just to get REALLY good later on, this actually happens a lot. Hell, even the walking dead had dealt with this, too! By the way, they were are adapting a comic book that they completely changed the story of, by killing off an extremely crucial character to the plot, so they couldnt rely on the books as a guide anymore and was in the same position wow is in now, and even had a drought like I said just before, but they picked up the pace later on. WoW is an ongoing story, not multiple stories tied together, it's supposed to have a goal and an ending in mind but they don't care, nor will they ever due to them having no need to do so, as they're being paid an absurd amount of money for doing practically jack shit.

If it wasn't for Asmon googling the wiki page (and not finding it) along with some of the chatters watching the movie in advance spoiling it I would've been 110% fooled. Good story. I feel like the writing team should just sit down get baked and talk ideas. That's what they used to do, right?
@@Kaseyrocks10101no he didn’t. he looked up “socal killer” in the wiki search bar. it then said it was showing results for “social killer” because none were found for “socal killer.”

We all know that the hole story grabbed us so hard because we would absolutely with the state of Blizzard believe that this is a possibility that someone like that worked for them.
Oh My god. I had CHILLS watching up until 23 minutes. Literally chills. My hairs on my arms and legs were standing up. I had to put on the fan heater to warm the room up and then even close the bedroom door because I didn't want to see shadows outside in the hall way during watching this. Personally It would have been better if the guy never gave the truth and just left us hanging forever. But seriously. This guy has greatness in very high levels. Seriously impressed. Speechless. not Wow but WOW for real!
Man turned into the history channel just to prove a point. I love it... The man literally choose a forgettable area, looked around at NPCs, made a false Wiki article and photoshopped Reddit DMs just to so he could tell Blizzard to get it together.
Hahahaha I seriously want this to be a chain quest in Stonetalon now. Where npc's in thos locations die at those moments and you have to investigate the deaths and find out that the butcher is the murderer. That was so damn good.

Dude imagine how cool the game would be if it contained easter eggs like that...seemingly "random" events in game that would happen at set hours, etc...damn, I would play the game just to explore every corner. And imagine the patch notes: - Scripted a new event. That's all the info, now get exploring.
It's kinda impossible nowadays, because you always got those techkids that will compare old and new datafiles with programs and with a click of a mousebutton they will find out what is exactly changed.
That story got me too, it was so well narated that, at first, I said to myself, this must be fake, but evidence started piling up and I was truly freaking out...
holy shit this was good lmao, very well written - The devs used to hide a lot of semi-dark secrets within the games, so this obscure reference wouldn't have surprised me
Imagine making up some deep lore about a serial killer hiding hints in fucking Wow Classic just to dunk on Blizzards writing team. I can't even...That guy is a legend.
This is a perfect example of something that's just really fun, irrespective of its authenticity. No need to spoil it, it's about the journey of experiencing the story. Let people enjoy things y'all.
I like how the first question about the "most forgettable zone" is kind of a trick question, cause if you can think of it how can it be the most forgettable? xD
"What do you say in such presence of greatness".. Exactly. usually I'm p***** off when I get duped like this but this one was good and it actually served a point so hats off to the man.

thing is, putting a deep dive creepypasta easter egg in the game is actually something Old Blizzard would've done.

Hold on lemme just remember zones that i forget
Forgettable. Not the one you forgot

This is actually such a good burn, like Blizzard has no way to clap back, he proved everything.
Stone talon mountains is so forgetable, I didn't even think about it when trying to think of forgetable zones
LOL so true
my whole community was really shook up when that happened in Los Charred
The most genius part of this whole video is "Whatever the hell you do, do not look in the comments section below".
I took a leap of faith and listened to him lol
He made a better story out of a dead zone than blizzard has made with 20 years and infinte money
this man made me watch and be invested in a video about a game that i give 0 fucks about. well played
Watched this 7 months ago, and still I come back in hopes to refeel that reveal. Stunning.
This story hooked me in more than any WoW story ever... Jesus that was a crazy ride.
This instantly sent me chills and had me looking over my shoulder as I sit here, alone in the dark, in my room, in southern California...
Leveling at Stonetalon Mountains at night will never be the same now lol
