when i was younger i had heard the word epitome a thousand times, but for some reason never considered 'epitome' was the same word despite knowing they also meant the same thing... idk what i thought epitome was spelled like, but it wasnt that!
One lake im surprised didn’t make the list is the one in redridge mountains. Takes up most of the zone with lakeshire being built on it and several quests to do different things in it. But I like all the choices picked too!
I think Darnassus as a whole is an underrated city, I've loved that design of its natural lake separating its districts, connected by bridges and small islands. Though while exploring Teldrassil on my Horde character recently, found another isolated lake right above Darnassus. On the map screen its right under the 'Darnassus' banner, up in the... 'cliffs' I guess. Big lake, single dock and boat, several trees edging it. Don't know what was planned for it, but I like it anyway.
The Nagrand speech was such a vibe. Out in nature, therapeutic grinding. Tempted to re-sub this weekend to get a sense of that again 😙 One of my favourite lakes is the one in Stonetalon Mountains by the cliff side. I started playing WoW in the WOTLK pre-patch and was levelling through Stonetalon Mountains (Tauren Feral Druid) back when I still didn’t really have a clue what I was doing. I remember my quest marker was positioned at the top of the cliff and back then I didn’t realise there would be a clear pathway up there, so I just fucked about in the lake for ages trying to figure out how to get to the quest marker at the top of the cliff. Got mauled by a black bear. 10/10 very nostalgic
How did Ruby Lake on the Timeless Isle not even make the list!? It’s beautiful, it has an amazing view, and you can only get there via seagull. What’s not to love?
A lot of people didn't like the Cataclysm world reshaping but I wish we had it happen again, seeing the world develop and be affected from the big bad villains is really cool and it really makes them feel more powerful and threatening
i like the idea of the world changing, the only thing i dislike with the way cata did it is that we don't have the option to go back... everytime they do stuff like this now there's always the option to visit the old phase of the zones and i really wish we had that for all the zones cata changed too :/
I love the Shimmering Flats back in the day cuz it was the map were I realised I was actually higher in level and it felt like it, especially when being called to some random clan pvp fight. Oh man did I not enjoy Cataclysm at all.
I stopped playing WoW just when WotLK came out but I regularly have huge WoW nostalgia. I just found your channel and I'm enjoying watching your videos and reminiscing!
I think a new expansion continent with a massive lake at the center would be sweet. Yes kind of like tirigarde sound but lakier. Underwater areas, a big nessy monster, maybe an elemental rift down there. Imagine the views with zones and mountains surrounding the lake
Completely get what you mean about the Mulgore lake. I’m not even that much of a Tauren fan, and yet, the surreal nostalgia for that particular spot is insane. Idk where it’s coming from. But you hit the nail on the head, I can relate so much
I remember leveling through shimmering deep when Cata first came out. I remember getting a summonable boat, also a diving helmet to walk around at the bottom.
Crendor! I have been bingeing your videos so much lately during work. I graduated into a job in the games industry, and it has been stressful but a lot of fun. Your videos and cox n crendor have been the perfect thing to listen to while working. Thanks! :)
Idk what it is about stonebull lake but it's always been my favorite as well, probably my favorite place in all of wow in conjunction with bloodhoof village, when I quit that's where I'm going to log out my character.
Damn see I didn't actually know about that lagoon thing. Goo Lagoon makes a lot more sense to me, and it's all thanks to Pointless Top 10. I had fun, too! Amazing.
perhaps a 'Pointless Top 10 geographic features in Shadowlands' to send it off? Like points in the Shadowlands that give you positive/good vibes for whatever reason at all.
One of my favorite lakes to visit, sadly the only way to reach it is by Flight is the lake on the edge of Feralas, nearest Dire Maul. It has a small burned out outpost that screams that it should be important to Something. But never figured it out.
I have a few ideas for more "Pointless Top 10" videos. Feel free to use any of these suggestions. I noticed many animals use similar models. You could make a "Poibtless Top 10 Wolves" in classic World of Warcraft. You could also make a "Worg," "Tortoise," and "Plainstriders" video. You could also make a "Pointless Top 10 Kobolds," "Gnolls," or "Named Undead" video. If you're looking for something a little "out of the box" you could make a "Pointless Top 10 Windows" video. There are a lot of these kinds of mobs in the game.
I swear nothing makes me wanna drop whatever game I'm on, and return to WoW (though I only played it briefly during Legion) than Crendor's videos, especially these p-top10s. This series really encapsulates what's to appreciate about WoW.
Hey Crendor, i was wondering if you ever considered doin' "Top 10 Pointless things in *name of a city in WoW*" and making it a series due to how many cities there are in the game? And sorry if this is rude to ask.
I am surprised you didn't include darrowmere lake (I think that's the name the lake in tirisfal glades) I think it's one of the most iconic ones. That or the redridge mountains one.
I kike the gate on the cave on the pirate island in Howling Fjord. There's only ONE cave with that gated entrance, (and a similar scourge version of that cave.)
Sholazar basin's centre point lake Rivers Heart is my personal number 1. It has a rainbow and is a nice tropical break from the rest of Northrend, and the music is nostalgic to me. I just love everything about that lake.
Mulgore is funny because in reality it isn't at all like the actual great plains, but it FEELS like a plain. Its very hilly, green, and surrounded by mountains. Also has a decent amount of trees. Its really more like the alps in summer or the foothills of Colorado or something. Also, all the swamps in wow are also incredibly hilly. Turns out flat doesn't look very good or feel good to play in games.
The ice cream guy in Shimmering Flats/Lake w.e might also be a reference to a fact that in WW2, the United States sent an Ice Cream Barge to the Pacific just to flex on the Japanese.
Lordamere Lake i just had to mention it here. It has Fenris Isle. And Fenris Isle had the first quest that had me go "yeah I won't be able to do this. I need to find some higher level players to help me out with this." It's crazy how I can think of other lakes as well that were not mentioned in the video, but I have old memories attached to all of them.
Nothing in the lore is more important than the Well of Eternity. I’m talking the original one. You might think it’s not large enough to be a lake, but in the lore it’s said to have the entire night elf capital city wrapped around its shores. Everything revolves around the Well. The Nordrassil version is also great and lore important as well.
