When i first joined wow i did the maze took me the entire weekend i loved it!

bro that evoker with the scuffed rescues was pretty annoying lol

bro i knew he was gonna bring out right click modifier LOL massive w addon.

Definitely an aspect of inexperience of youth in there. A lot of these things were new concepts that we've grown accustomed to. But I still think the old quests had something that retail doesn't. Old 'hidden' quests often gave gear or other 'power' rewards - like the valley of trials shaman quest. It was 'hidden' AND had a purpose. Doesn't work so well when we're always max level, or the questing is short + the gameplay of questing is boring. There were also 'quests' that didn't go into your quest log. You talked to a person, or clicked a thing and it told you to do something without ever giving you a quest (redridge mountains had one). Gotta remember also that WoW HAD like 12million players. Now were at... 4-6 mil for retail? Hard to say how much is classic wow. Thats a lot of people that might still talk about WoW without playing WoW

Imagine having friends who will play wow with you

can hunters make the dino-crabs into pets?

Great video growl. As echoed by others here I believe the magic is still there it's just time and the playerbase that has changed. That being said I genuinely believe blizzard is probably going to work on a fix for this after the world soul saga. A new version of world of warcraft coming to xbox would open the flood gates to entire generations exploring and seeing the world for the very first time without 20 years of bias being built up. There is countless ways they could pull it off but just image a version of the game where entering a dungeon group gave you the option to join voice with the other players. No shining shield of being toxic behind a chat box just pings or voice chat as the main way to communicate.

Storytelling in dragonflight was really bad in general. Usually a lore nerd but there was barely anything I was interested in this expansion

I'm on that dang 5 day lizzie quest chain now

The storytelling is better now than ever. The written story is worse. Old wow storytelling was objectively dogshit.

Jangbi was pumping

Blizzard shill

Yo bro this was a fire vid. Enjoyed just seeing some cooks and vibes and not some giga chad magistrate of sweaty m+ ding dong shit. Keep cookin cat, keep cookin. that said, I completely disagree with everything you said, but that's ok too man.

I generally mirror this, but I always make an effort to enjoy leveling without rushing and explore as much as I can. A couple days or even a week is ideal.

Why explore when everything looks gay and lame.

sled ride, not slut ride grom

I personally like all the treasures that award profession bonuses or gold or even the bag, I believe, that was behind the waterfall in waking shores. Not really an easter egg but fun stuff to find in the environment.

What I'd like to see more of in Retail is reactivity to your class/race. There's so many quests I get that it's hard to do all the time but I feel like when I play Warlock or Death Knight I should be reviled by most characters in the game haha. Legion added something like this where guards will comment on your artifact weapons or transmogs of them, very fun little additions.

Thanks growl, was a fun research session lol

I love that secret inn It’s actually flagged as an area for dueling, so I held a duel tournament in my raiding guild for something fun to do and it’s the perfect spot for ot

I would say DF has a bit of little easter eggs and fun things to look at while flying around, but the real issue for me is it pales in comparison to how much life was put into essentially every aspect within other newer expansions like Legion. I am willing to bet there wasn't a single unused area within Legion, every cave had something to discover and was used for a quest or easter egg. I think when people say WoW has lost the charm of the older expansions, the thing that is missing is how the pacing the game has been altered. The game, for better or worse, no longer resembles something like Everquest in how you achieve max level. Time investment is kept short to bring in players to actually do the end game content they make for the game. Another fault is even though that leveling is streamlined and easier, it's still never uniform. The things that they choose to time gate or make annoying to accomplish feels completely random. Dragonflight essentially suffers more than what came before it because while the world still has some love into it, the charming aspects clearly weren't as thoroughly planned within their areas as Wrath/Legion/BFA and I'd dare say Shadowlands. It has also chosen to take an MSQ storyline focused leveling experience, and route you through specific zones in a set manner. While they weren't huge choices, basically every expansion had options in where you could go and things to miss while tackling leveling as a casual. DF is a straight path with set pieces placed in random manners because they knew you'd get flying asap and didn't put any real effort into the grounded layout of the world. And the MSQ focus really doesn't help when the writing in DF fucking sucks.

I just love the niffen thats walking in circles with a brush in hand and only there to dust. And when u talk to him he says 'oh let me just take the dust behind u' 😊

i miss those days so much D:

Cool video

im surprised you didnt find the surfing mini game in the tuskar village 😂

The Dragon's Horde is a night club. Try going at night.

The elite crab is not tameable, the small ones running around are, but they lose their skull cap after taming (according to Wowhead commenter Slappious).

For me, i hate question or grinding any sort of reputation for items etc. I know i am a competitive player want to play as perfect as i can and try to get better. I love that wow is in such a good state for competetive mmo and there is no game which have something like m+ or de wow mythic raids

love a chill growl video, very well made even though it's not exactly the usual subject

GREAT video growl ❤ After just grinding m+ for many seasons in the past, I am a collector & heroic guild raid player now ❤ I always keep my eyes open for interesting surroundings too especially when a new addon hits

dude wow storytelling overall has been dead since BFA

a reminder that only about 10% of the people do higher than +10(old version) and do heroic raid. a mojority of the players still play that way. itsj ust that nowadays its harder to not be a metaslave than in the old days because of the internet

banger vid growl, loved it!

Thanks for this video, really well done. I think something key here is that there's a chicken and egg effect with these little touches not getting attention. As games become more and more convenient, more and more streamlined, the players put on blinders to other things. I mean, if the game is constantly teaching you "the fun is in LFG and instances", why would you go out of your way to look elsewhere? Games like OSRS and Vanilla have more players who notice and talk about these things (I mean, just look at how often little easter eggs get reposted to online communities around those games, and how much fun people have discussing them) because the games themselves dont take such an active role in steering you towards particular categories of fun, and players then dont learn to ignore things without a gold exclamation point. Retail still has that stuff, and there are all sorts of amazing little touches in WoW (and almost every other game), but fewer big budget products are willing to risk letting players ignore the Fun Machine in favor of looking at the cool painting on the wall behind it.

One of my favorite secrets is in the bank. You need a buddy to activate the switches under the gold, then a fun interaction happens

You are awesome for making this!!❤

Dragonflight quests are just stupid. The lore is bad the non binary dragons are cringe. It’s somebodies fantasy sjw world in game form. I hope the war within will actually fix it. The guy who made it this way has been fired.

"we can still play like back then, we just choose not to" yes and no. You can't enjoy the game the same way as back then cause there is no lvl8 running trough lvl40 areas to get to the other side, there is no fun in leveling at all, you run around one shotting everything. Literally naked with a white weapon. Besides raiding, leveling and dungeonslvl was my copium.

What a great video

You guys know you can talk to people in m+ right? I do it all the time. Meeting new friends, adding them on Btag and doing more dungs with them in the future. You people just aren't trying.

omg the green eye does turn red! lol good video mr. waffle cat.

Must click LFG dragon eye!

One of my favorite quest chains in Dragonflight is "The joy of painting" down in Azure Span. Really nice story with a cool toy at the end to remind you of it. A lot of my downtime in this expansion has been spent flying around the maps and stumbling upon so many hidden places and out of the way quests.

The same guys that whine about "no magic" is the same guys used to read the quests because you didn't know where to go otherwise. Today there is always a waypoint showing you the way

A Cat Proccing Caut? Name a more iconic duo. ♥ you friend keep up the good content.

Ok cool video, But can we talk about that spinning raccoon weak aura and what does it do ? I knew about all of these except the crabs to the south. how the heck would you even find that?

this is the correct response. people just want to complain for a "slower" time and then dont even do that cuz they "have to" play sweaty. play how you like and stop complaining.

wow a content creator that is genuine and not just farming nostalgia surface level popular content! 10/10 Growl!

Farming for Otto was the most engaging thing I've done in DF.
