Yeah the only thing that bugged me was how neither Jaina,Sylvanas nor Muradin played any major role in the ICC raid. Tytion while a badass at this point was quiet the side char heck for anyone who did not play the DK starting quest it felt like h came from nowhere

Same man. Wife and kids now

So, as a player that originally started WoW in Wrath, I literally never realized that Trial of the Crusader was a thing to test who was strong enough to not die in ICC and make the lich king's forces stronger. Awesome as always, Nobbel

hearing the intro is so nostalgic a couple of days ago I started watching Nobble videos again even though I know all the lore already, there's something pure about this channel and old school WoW Lore.

It's such a nice, warm, familiar space to be in. As if you cuddle up next to the hearthfire in your winter cabin.

5:31 I got an add here that synced up really well and got a good laugh out of me! It went “should he rise from the frozen north... all of Azeroth will- have a cleaning tip from mister clean!”

i remember the first time we beat him. i cried. so much invested in the story. such a let down for everything that came after.

Played from Open Beta through end of Mists. I really feel like Wrath was the high point. It was finally wrapping up a story I'd been heavily invested in since Warcraft 3. It'll probably remain my favourite expansion for the entire life of the game.

Hearing Bolvar yell "NEVER! I WILL NEVER SERVE YOOOUUUUUU" is seared into my very soul Good times, man.

still sad that Jaina and Arthus never got a scene after his defeat. was a wasted opportunity. Song/parady by Charm does it justice.

I just noticed while watching the wrath gate cut scene in this video that the gate looks a lot like a maw of Yogg'Saron some how I've never noticed it before

Thanks for this Nobbel. Makes the relaunch even more exiting having this video running on the second screen

I haven't watched your videos for a while, and now that I'm watching this, I remember why I love them

This expansion got me into wow, and it's getting me back now. I couldn't be happier

looks like blizzard and steve danuser did nothing wrong since arthas is not evil and villain anymore he's just a pawn and victim brainwashed.

Yes, thank you so much. I have been waiting and hoping for this. I watched some of your other videos recently to refresh on Wrath but I was hoping for a new overview.

im so glad you are making these videos, its like picking a book from a library ive been watching for years

I didnt realize you were still doing WoW lore vids Nobbel. Kinda nice to see....especially for Wrath, since I started in cata.

Arthas' story was the reason i started that game and Wotlk will always be a unique exp on every aspect of it! But after so many years and especially after what they did with Arthas in SL i just cant watch anymore, no matter how much i like them, any video about Wotlk lore etc... It just hurts when i bring in mind the current state of story.

And it was all part of the Jailer's plan.

Love your videos, thanks for the service! Arfas makes me lol everytime, though.

WoW used to be a very easy to follow story and that’s what I enjoyed most. Now we have half written narratives that take 3 expansions to cover, and no attempt at making new interesting characters. The lich king is my favorite video game villain by far. Sylvanas and the jailer just make me sad compared to what WoW used to do well at

Great Video Lore !🔥💪

Can't wait for the Wrath streams! :P

Hey, so cool to see that you still do lore vids. I used to watch them as a teen and you made me get deeper into the background lore to the game and a whole new universe opened before my eyes :D You animated me to do the loremaster achievement and to read the quest logs and all that. Brought some WoW novels, especially the "Rise of the Lich King" was my favorite. Prior to that it was just farming xp, grinding inis etc., but then I started to interest me more into the world. Like, whats the story behind this ruin i am doing this quest right now in, and things like that^^

I feel that Tirion Fordring was the real hero of wow, he is what players should of been. It was a damn shame that he was not brought back as a death knight in Legion, stopped by Lady Liadrin, perhaps because paladins obtained his weapon, but I feel he would of done a service without it. Even if he diden't wish to become a death knight, he could of done a lot more in the grand scheme of things in which his prior efforts shared, to defeat the legion and restore peace and justice, still could of done so as a death knight. He would of been under Bolvar again.

I cant wait to play Wrath again, TBC has been fun. but so hyped for Wrath!

Exactly what I was looking for (:

the Golden Peak of Classic, before it would eventually fall from grace.

"This pear, so delicious." Captions are so funny

The Storm Peaks. The most perfect zone for brooding and/or sulking.

dropped at the peak of the hype man Nobbel best

I loved the early story development, especially when you get the moment of realization of what's going on and what happened, like Muradin Bronzebeard storyline in the storm peaks, which as of this comment, I'm playing through, though their in game story telling has made great strides, not all of the story is there, but in books or other media, which is unfortunate, rather than other media adding onto existing story through other perspectives of the characters - hence why Pyromancer left us, kappa :(

The intro music is sooo good

thanks for the video!

I felt SO BAD when i played WC3 and Arthas took Frostmourne and knocks Muradin out...

I still get chills with the WC3 Arthas VA. Still a shame they wouldn't pay him his worth for WoW

The content that reminds me of when I couldn't find enough time to play WoW, man that feels so long ago. 😓

It has its own charms. It's very bleak and lives up to its name, being tundra and all. Quest-wise I prefer the Tundra, design-wise I prefer the Fjord.

Pretty much a complete scrub when it comes to WoW, but I’m planning on playing Wrath classic to hopefully experience some of the good things I’ve heard of Wrath through the years. And I have to say, the two dialogue lines at 21:19 have made me extremely hype for no particular reason

Oh boy, I can't wait to fight The Jailer, Lich King true master!

Love ur videos Nobbel!

A large part of the problem with modern WoW is the story telling. BFA felt disjointed, like two different expansions smashed into one. We had to wait until the next expansion to find out the motivation behind the Sylvanas part of the story, and even then it was extremely lacking and poorly put together. Shadowlands was short on story, and not all of the storytelling was cohesive. Arden weald was beautiful, and the questing told an overall story, but what did any of it have to do with the story of the expansion?? And someone remind me what the motivation behind the Jailer's actions were again?

Can you do a short or a video about High General Abbendis? I just dunno why she's so important and figured you may have an idea :)

I started in 05 halfway through vanilla, but never cared about the lore until warath. Man, those were good days.

Best expansion, the peak of WoW. Not just Lich King, but I really liked the Malygos and Ulduar storylines as well.

"This pear... so delicious". Killed me.

I hope this reignites your love of wow

I had barely started playing back then, and I'm kind of sad that I didn't get to discover Northrend and Wrath's lore and story with prior knowledge and context, because this expac was peak Warcraft in all the right ways. We might've hit new gameplay highs and expanded the game in good ways after that, but I don't think any version of WoW ever felt as right in its feel, world building, lore *delivery*, story, characters, plot beats and atmosphere. We got huge lore building reveals that explained a lot yet only made the canon feel bigger and more mysterious; we got familiar and new characters having interesting arcs and plots in every moment and corners; and we got big hype/emotional moments that were earned and had lasting impact. It makes me want to replay every Northrend questline on Retail or keep up with Wrath Classic through the Patches, but I can't help the feeling that it just wouldn't be as good with modern canon/lore context in mind, it might soil it all - I'm tempted to leave it undisturbed in my memories as I experienced it through my young teens...

Speaking of Anub'Rekhan makes me think of Anub'arak. Wasn't that guy suppose to be a powerful badass? Like a real formidable pain in the ass for the Lich King causing him to put all of his effort into defeating Anub'arak? It's kind of a shame he's just a random boss in a regular 5 man dungeon....

could u do a video of each section of azeroth. like what value it has for the horde and alliance and what purpose it has for a story

Soooooo epic thx for vid

@ 3:10, make sure you have CC on.

'Let them come! FROSTMOURNE HUNGERS!' Literal chills....

Canon wise, who win the airship assault boss? wo reah the top of Icecrown and help Tirion in his fight? Or was the air ship fight note canon or something?

They should do what ifs for the next rounds of classic. So where the lich king attacked ulduar or something, and seeing the war between those two.

New lore series, deep dive zone by zone?

Lmao, subtitles say "This Pear, so delicious." @3:09

Respect for the OG warcraft 3

KZread CC is hilarious. "This pear... So delicious."

Wrath was the absolute peak of mmorpg gaming. I will fight anyone who dares say otherwise.

wotlk, the peak of wow for sure. gd old days.

I feel the lore is not as exciting as it was back then - as someone mentioned - the writing was good then. They also had a TON of stuff they could use from Warcraft 3 yet - which seemed to pack a SHIT TON of stuff that could then be used to fuel soooo mannnny expansion! Blizz should have ended WoW at Legion, made a Warcraft 4 to introduce more lore/storylines/history/etc, and then they could have built a brand new engine for WoW, call it "WoW 2" and use Warcraft 4 as to fuel more expansion. /2cents (didnt' meant to write so much, love your lore vids, dude!)

Hey bro Nobble ur awesome have a good day

Some of the scenes that you show in the video, are some of them from machinimas? To me, it certainly looks so. Like from 11:54. Or are they cutscenes from the game?

I think once or twice he uses machinimas (not entirely certain, but 8:09 and 16:27 seems like it). However, 11:54, that you are talking about, was official promotion material used back in the day. They may very well have used machinima methods though.

still boggles my mind how hollywood cant see this story

Think it might've been a mistake to kill off arthas? I mean at that point he was less a character and more an integral part of the setting overall. The scourge has never been the overwhelming scary force it was since without him. Just knowing he was still around during classic just gave the experience an extra level of depth. Knowing you'd encounter him In some shape or form.

See you in the Tundra boys!

Wow has an amazing lore and almost every character has a detailed backstory, sad blizzard fucked it up so bad.

What's retail?

Love how we killed 2 dragons, an avatar of the old gods, and a demon overlord. Yet the whole world was afraid of one angsty boi and his spooky skelly skeletons. (And after that we just smacked another avatar of the old gods and some keepers for good measurement) +howling fjord was one giant red flag i missed when it comes to the blight betrayel at the warthgate.

Me pretending this is the current wow expansion.

Ok, but if Northrend is so damn cold, why the fuck are blood elves, for example, dressed like it's the middle of Summer?

How old was Arthas when he sets off on his epic journey and how old was he when we took him down?

@Venakis1

Жыл бұрын

At the events of Warcraft 3 Arthas was a prince, so I guess he was quite young. World of Warcraft released 4 years after the events of the expansion The frozen throne and many staff happened before the Lich King was awaken (the opening of the Dark Portal and the Burning crusade). So I guess aproximately 15 or 20 years lorewise passed from the merging of Arthas with the Lich King till the day he was destroyed. That means Arthas is about 35 - 40 years old when he dies.

Frostmourne was part of ner'zhul, the OG lich King. During the events of warcraft 1 and 2 Ner'zhul became an incredible powerful but tortured soul who want nothing but pain, suffering and death upon all living things. Being trapped in icecrown, ner'zhul saw Arthas as a perfect champion to corrupt and carry out his will. Highly reccoment watching Nobbel's videos on Ner'zhul and on Arthas.
