Some more WoW Exploration using WoW files via WoW Export. I'm interested in the way World of Warcraft dungeons are laid out, how the models work, how far they go, and differences between the instanced and external portions.
If this is interesting I'll do more. BRD would be an epic challenge.
Thanks for watching!

Oh man the BRD walkthrough is going to be 2 hours long and I’m all for it!

@720zone 2 месяца назад

YES!! Appreciate you checking in!

@sickofitall8486 2 месяца назад

Earthsong Falls is one of the coolest spots in any dungeon in any game I've ever played.

@720zone 2 месяца назад

YES! Its like magic arriving there. Appreciate the comment!

It gives me strong Rayman 2 vibes. I love it.

Honestly, on my old potato of a PC and my 17“ CRT monitor I never looked upwards because the framerate would tank… dunno why. Nice to see the whole thing

@dimitris470 2 месяца назад

I am ashamed to say that I never looked up back in the day. It was in classic that someone told us "hey look up". I just love this game...

@Qweekdraw 2 месяца назад

Ohhh man, this brought back some memories! We used to get SO lost in here but the Princess boss and big room with waterfalls were so epic. Dungeons were like mini-raids in Vanilla they were so long.

@NomicFin 2 месяца назад

Maraudon is such an amazingly designed dungeon. I still remember the first time going through all the corrupted caverns with mutated plants and slime everywhere and suddenly entering this beautiful area with clear blue waterfalls open to the sky. It really made a big impression.

This was so interesting, I never thought about how cool Maraudon actually is since I really only ever played Wrath of the lich king and so I never really got to appreciate the instance because of how random dungeon finder splits it up into Purple, Orange and 'Pristine Waters' where the norm is to just speedrun to the boss that gives you the RDF reward and then leave without exploring the inbetweens of the different areas. Loved this video, definitely want to see more stuff like this with all the huge dungeons from vanilla

@Epicdps 2 месяца назад

I love how you mentioned the details of the quests for the dungeon too!

@Amarcanthe 2 месяца назад

Your presentation is perfect. You actually made me like a dungeon that was a C-tier at best in my mind prior to watching this. Good job!

@jodie82 23 дня назад

These classic exploration videos are exactly what Ive been looking for. Really hits the spot. I subbed as soon as I saw you had a Zulfarrak one - before I even watched it! Great work!

@tom7w 2 месяца назад

Excellent explanation man. Whenever I go back into Mara I'll pull this back up because I've always been confused by this dungeon. I look forward to more videos exactly like this! Subscribed.

@dimitris470 2 месяца назад

I love that place. Old-school wow is just awesome. A world to explore, and not just a series of mini-games that you can teleport to

@H1bbe 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this video. Mauradon is my favourite dungeon in the game. It feels mysterious and forgotten, but it's also beautiful and atmospheric. It reminds me of shadow of the colossus, rayman 3, and all that PS2 era goodness. I have so many good memories from the epic hours long journeys in confused LFG groups fighting through these classic dungeons, like dire maul, mauradon, and BRD when I first started playing back in wrath.

@720zone 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much!

@mumblety96 2 месяца назад

Yeah mang, it's been a while since I played, but Maraudon was HUGE. Then we killed Princess Theradras at the end. Then a couple expansions later we met her mother the Queen in the underground zone - and she eyeballs you closely as though you remind her of descriptions of the perpetrator that killed her daughter. Masterful storytelling. Bruh I am not even 3 minutes into the video yet but this memory just came tumbling back in. Sorry if you mentioned it already 😂😂

@Calitrichomes 2 месяца назад

I watched the dead mines video first, and instantly thought “ oh a Mara vid would be dope “ . I really enjoy this content. If you would make a video for most of the iconic dungeons or even all of them I know I would watch

Just completed my first full mara run the other day, though I had partially experienced it back in the initial Classic run. Interesting to see everything in context since I'm usually too busy trying to keep up with a group in dungeons to fully get my bearings.

I`m just happy that he is actually producing his own content, and not reacting to old stuff like all the other leeches. Ethical man this is

I stole all of this.. jk man, really appreciate the comment; thanks so much!

@boxboxerson991 2 месяца назад

But if he becomes even remotely successful at youtube then he'll devolve into a reaction channel who complains about the algorithm. Once you find a loyal audience it becomes hard to lose it. Let's hope this never takes off.

@Trashloot 2 месяца назад

This video is really cool :D. I also loved that you added all the information about quests you could do there. The last time i properly visited desolace was many years ago. I think i should go back there and quest through the whole zone again. Either many of those Mauradon quests were removed after cataclysm or i missed them entirely. I also never saw Mauradon from the outside. I think the only way this could have been better is when you would put a few screenshots of the questgivers or items in to the video. like when you talk about the scepter and teleportation room. It would be neat to see that. But this is not necessary :D. Again i really enjoyed the video.

@720zone 2 месяца назад

Hey - Can't thank you enough for this comment. Really good feedback; especially the suggestions on screenshots. going to keep that in mind for future vids. THANK YOU!

@720zone 2 месяца назад

@sikhandtakerakhuvar9678 2 месяца назад

Could you do a short vid where you overlay Maraudon, connected with the entrance map, on top of the zone map, properly scaled? I measured out where that waterfall area was, using such crude tools as were available, and came up with somewhere offshore of that Troll fishing village. You no doubt have long since noticed that there is NO corresponding area in Desolace to that waterfall area. No canyons / deep gashes, especially with rivers or lakes and trees. A similar vid exploring Deeprun Tram might be fun. It runs E-W, to connect cities located NE-SW of each other?? Also, if you do that on foot, and look back towards Stormwind once you reach the 'aquarium' area, you can see *buildings* in the distance! Are those really in the model, or are we actually seeing out of the tunnel?

@danachos 2 месяца назад

On the righthand side, staying on the outside the whole time was a bit confusing. It would be dope if you could poke a hole into the 3rd person outside perspective to see it all from above. I have not idear how you would do it, but it would be cool if you could! At any rate, great content ^^ thank you!

Great video! please make one with differences between Old Ruins of Andorhal with walls, versus the new one without. I got fond memories early vanilla about the old one. I was really disappointed it was changed.

This is one of my favorite instances in classic. Sad it is just below the lvl cap, so no endgame content to farm in there. But this is also what it makes so cool. Sort of a lost place in an mmorpg…

@minnietrethewey 2 месяца назад

If you could add an arrow or other indicator (other than the mouse cursor) to indicate on the model view, that would help with spacial position understanding.

@minnietrethewey 2 месяца назад

And maybe have a removable top half of the model section to always be able to see the floor instead of it being hidden by the ceiling and having to clip into it to see.

@720zone 2 месяца назад

Both really great suggestions; much appreciated.

@Hawk_R6 2 месяца назад

Can you make a tutorial on how you to look at the Instance-Model?

@michaelcitrino5339 2 месяца назад

this would look a lot cooler if you took the roof off the model so we can see the interior as your running through it from a top down angle

@kasebrotworst7279 2 месяца назад

3:22 Dude never played vanilla wow it seems xD Back in vanilla wow you could blink through an instance whirl without being teleported. There was a huge hidden area when you did that in Deadmines and used slow fall, you got to an exploitable area. In general there were a ton of these out of bounds exploits in vanilla, like GM Island, dancing troll village, Hyjal before it's release and so on. Most of the time only mages could get there with blink because they could blink through invisible walls. Which has now been fixed.

@WadeAllen001 2 месяца назад

Is there a way to remove the ceiling from the model?

@720zone 2 месяца назад

This is a great question. In the wow.export program I'm using you can zoom in and out of the model seeing both sides, but there is no way to remove the top, which would be very interesting. You can also export the model into Blender, where you could do any type of edit, removing any portion.

You can tell someones alliance if they think Maraudon is the most confusing dungeon in classic

@720zone 2 месяца назад

Yea, I'm alliance for sure, but need to try to better balanced what I show for Horde friends. I completely botched Horde landmarks in my map video. So is WC the most confusing?

@DurpeeSlurpee 2 месяца назад

@@720zone yep, WC is by far more confusing than maraudon. I’ve been through it at least 15 times and still have no idea which path leads where. You can be looking directly at a map, looking at your mini-map at the same time, know exactly where you are and STILL not know how to get where you want
