shout out to every single person that helped power level him. while rav might not be a long time wow player the community really got together to support this event.
I just wanted to thank you Rav & Howard, for this amazing serie and the hard work behind it. I honestly was so immersed into the story that i actually thought i was there. Your dedication to level another character back to 60 in 34 hours was insane. I've played WoW since late 2006, and honestly this is the best work i have ever seen in WoW for a very very very long time! Please, do not stop making stories like these! I would love to see more hardcore content and WoW stories like these! Great work! Best Regarsd, Shyshuki! Love and hearts to you and howard!
I still chuckle when I remember your Ulda run and you asking "did you pet Howard?" :) Congrats to all of you for proving WoW players to be a great community when they are really moved. Oh, and for the raid too! :)
Alright Bliz, you're up. We need a level 60 boar in this area of abandonment that can only be talked to and your only conversation option is to pet howard and make him happy.
If there were one WoW spell I could have in real life, it would be /revive pet. This series was better than anything Hollywood has put out in at least a decade. Rav is amazing.
But *how* did he get Howard back? You can’t revive another character’s pet, right? Did he just tame a new boat and rename him Howard? I feel dense here….
I cannot actually explain the amount of dopamine these videos provide me. I've been in a pretty bad place mentally with all the stuff that's happened in recent years. Getting out of the military, Counseling has been a huge part of my life. But honestly, coming home from work and watching Rav's wow videos and starting playing hardcore/ SOD has really opened up a new chapter for me weirdly enough. Him and asmongold have been GOLD in giving me laughs lately. I've met a lot of friends along the way in both servers as well and that really helps my mental health. Thank you Rav, and thank you to everyone I've met so far along my journies as well
It really is unbelievable that 2 years ago i found out about you, when you were a relatively unknown hardstuck ADC main, and now you're the fucking rockstar of a completely different game genre. Absolutely huge ups and you deserve every second of it my man
This series has all the nostalgia, we all had for Vanilla WoW. Took all our unique experiences with the game from our first playthrough. This captured that amazing feeling of story and adventure that we all yearned for when Classic was announced. You have captured that feeling and created a unique experience that will be remembered just as fondly throughout the years. You provided us all with that feeling that Classic nostalgia alone, was not able to fully fulfill. Thank you
What an amazing ride from start to finish. I've never played WoW before but the plotline of Rav the Avatar got me hooked. Honestly, for as long as I've been watching here on RU-vid, I can barely think of a series that has put me through such an emotional rollercoaster. 1000% one of the best content creator on this platform from video editing, script, and the character you play as. Awesome. Just absolutely awesome. Can't wait for more content, whether it be the game we all hate and love (league of trashcans) to a game many of us want more of (chad WoW). Hope you take care of yourself, dude. It legitimately makes my heavy days so much lighter seeing a notification that you posted. o7 you legend
Okay I've seen this video like 5 times now with different streamers reacting to it and I've cried at the end every single time. What an amazing series, probably the best thing I've seen the whole year. Thank you
I like how the series is spontaneous. Rav can literally spin out any drama and interesting story out of mundane leveling quests. Somehow reminds us that there has always been RP in MMORPG.
Dude you are responsible for so many people getting back into wow, I reported your death in Ower discord people were genuinely shocked it's crazy, thanks for the content best thing this year hands down. I'm buying a mouse pad if there's still any left
I really hope this journey and series skyrockets you up the charts, Rav!!! I waited for this video day to day and finally seeing the finished product, I realized I got way too invested lol. Teared up and laughed multiple times in the span of 20 minutes. Rav the Avatar is also an emotion bender!!! I'm sad it's over but hey, the series doesn't have to end there if you don't want it to!!! There can always be a sequel or season 2, and I'm just glad you broke away from the toxic League community, even if just briefly! I'm still working on that myself, as I love League but hate the community... Bravo, Rav!!!
Such an original piece of content! I got goosebumbs at the very end haha thank you for being part of your journey as a viewer. I really enjoyed every second of it :) #LongLiveRavTheAvatar
No words man. This is by far your best work yet. In the words of another legendary ranger; "Camaraderie, Adventure, and Steel on Steel. The stuff of Legends, right Boo?" Loved it start to finish. I can't wait to see what comes next
I'm a grown ass man 28 years old and never played WoW before and I was getting crazy emotional. I been with Rav since a few months after he started RU-vid and hes one of the best and most unique content creators out there! So glad are people are starting to realize just how good he is.
Can't describe how well done the pp part was. 8:14 The suspense is so reminiscent of people's experience in WoW. When you came across a (somewhat shady) person that takes you through some crazy ish while you wondering to yourself "bro you've done this before right? we' won't die?" The vague replies like "yea np" or a similar reply is so iconic lol. also them being a gnome just made it more funny the editing is also good man👍 quality stuff
Possibly one of the greatest World of Warcraft pieces of creator content that has ever been released. Oxhorn, Lv70Tauren Chieftan, etc. This series has been up there with some of the greatest, and an incredible finale. Here's to hoping that you aren't done with World of Warcraft, Rav. League might miss you, but WoW would miss you more.
I remember back in 2019 I got back into classic, that was one of my most fun years playing any game, wow builds a community so well, its designed to do so. Glad you enjoyed the leveling experience too and make a story out of it.
Its not that the content itself is that hard, but you easily can die. No prob in softcore, but you cant always do a powerleveling session as shown in this vid for every dead player. Eventually youll run out of geared chars. Especially hunter is the worst class out there to survive, because they are totally dependend on others. E.g. Ret Palas can bubble, an off warri has shield and shieldwall etc. Hunter doesnt have any meaningful tools (deterence doesnt really work as in retail) besides a healthpot every 2 mins. Sure would be entertaining to see, but he already died on a pre raid quest, so obviously a raid provides more hidden "features" you can die from. :D
Well series has to end at some point. Maybe there would be some funny dungeons or outside quest lines left to do some cool stuff, but even then I don't think this means he wouldn't go to BWL just that he might not make a video about it (or he might, but who knows if they have big wipe there, which means not much stuff to make a video about).
Dunno if this guy deleted his post, but just to differentate: #1 there is leveling, where hunter obviously is op because of feign death and a tanking pet and there is #2 raiding, where the pet does sh*t and is no help at all besides some pulls. Blizz did its "best" to make them unusable for raids. @ Feign death: still useful, but doesnt mitigate incoming damage, so aoe effects will still kill you. Hunter has no good healing and mitigating abilities in Classic. If there is a problem and the heals have to go crazy, you dont have any chance to self heal. Hunters will die first. Obviously you NEVER did raid at all, otherwise you would know this.
Rav the Avatar , you created something truly amazing in this series. Started playing this game on the day of release in 2004. Closing in on 20years of my degen self playing and watching an unthinkable amount of everything about this game. I got to give it to you as THIS has to be the best content that i ever layed my eyes upon. /pet Howard
Your adventure has been a blast to follow and rewatch repeatedly from you, other people's reactions and your uploads of those reactions. Props to your dedication, editing, writing and friends you made along the way!👏👏👏
The editing around allowing Howard to ding like the players and speak is so well done. I love all the layered stuff you put into the videos man. Keep up the excellent work Rav! #ZGBoostingEasterEggGang
This was by far the most entertaining series of videos if ever seen of WoW and arguably any video game. Insane scripts and hilarious jokes man. So good 👍🏻
wow! you had a wonderful journey! I remember what i experienced as a NE hunter back in 2006. You dont see that kind of friendship and commitment in 2023 retail WOW. Thanks again and glad you and Howard had a happy ending.
Thank you for the ride. Your league videos were always top but this series was legendary, twice over with the rebirth, so much so you and Howard became the most talked about person on hardcore wow. I hope you continue and we can follow you into BWL, but whatever you do, you got a follower for life. Thank you Avatar
By far most interested I have ever been in a video game series. I don't even have any desire to play WoW, but I never missed one of these uploads. Awesome content!
/pet Howard Honestly i was so invested in this story of RavTheAvatar from his humble beginnings to the badass hunter we all dreamed we could be avenging deaths while buck naked brawling all those who defied OnlyFangs.
This truly was an amazing story! Thank you so much for creating and it and sharing it with us! It brought me, and I think as do many others, so much joy! I want to wish you Happy Holidays and all the best in the New Year! : 3
Beautiful video. As someone who's been watching you and enjoying your league videos back then while also being a WOW addict myself, I can safely say this series has been the best content you produced through out the years. Can't wait for the solo self found journy.
Your series inspired me to make a hunter. Your journey inspired me to take it serious but also to keep it chill. And your tale was awesome to witness. Can't wait to see your next journey, your next tale unfold.
