I like that Draenei do all kinds of amazing things, are kinda set up as the most powerful race in wow, and then get slaughtered by a bunch of orcs drinking Mountain Dew.
It's called the *"Worf"* effect, basically in order to establish that the orcs, despite being barely out of the stone age are somehow a legitimate threat to more technologically advanced medieval-esque human kingdoms with stupidly powerful functional magic they had to steamroll the even more powerful draenie who had godlike technology powered by even more stupidly overpowered magic by said primitive orcs who had never been united politically in their entire history despite the draenie mopping the absolute floor with the super strong, more magically advanced (compared to the orcs I mean, yes even the Shadowmoon clan too), politically cohesive, centuries old ogre empire. Oh also it was to establish that apparently Fel magic is the most stupidly overpowered magic by far because it can turn even a bunch of slightly post-stone age brutes into an actual threat to the previously mentioned more advanced civilizations so all those technological advances and all that mastery of arcane magic, and all that faith in the Light over the course of centuries is for weak minded chumps, demon sorcery is for true meta gamers.
I would advice against buying a yeti unless you plan on keeping it right in your face when you talk. I've used one (and still own it) in the past, but I set it off to the side of my desk cuz it was in the way. People in discord said I sounded far away, others couldn't understand me when I talked, etc. The one plus side is that people with headphones get creeped out if you try to talk in your yeti like someone who does asmr. Really funny shit.
@@jsc1jake512 tbf that's pretty solid advice. All my grandpa would do is complain about the yankees and tell me how obama was not a bad president for a black
They ran away from roid-rage orcs, crashed their space gem and then half the "females" went to Goldshire Inn on Moon Guard to help repopulate their race.
Fun fact: The Orcs had no name for their home planet at first, they simply called it "world" until the Draenei showed up and named it Draenor, meaning "Exile's Refuge" in the Draenic tongue. The Orcs adopted this name and also called it Draenor. I believe the Arakkoa also have a name for Draenor but I can't remember it.
I don't play WoW anymore, but the Warcraft lore is still amazing and I love it. The way you tell it and visualize it is absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for the amount of work you put into these videos!
takes more than interesting lore to write an interesting and compelling narrative. the lore is like having good ingredients but it takes more that that to make a good meal.
WoD's overall content was excellent -- the only problem was that there wasn't enough of it. Had they made it a complete expansion, it could've been in the top 3.
You make warcraft lore so interesting an fun. I absolutely love the little animations you do. Your uploads make any day a good day. Keep doing what you do man :)
Dude, your machinima skills keep getting better and better. The chapter transitions, the humor, the battle scene, and the epic outro with Kil'jaeden - beautiful stuff.
I love these videos so much, they’re probably the best WoW videos on youtube but they stress me out so much thinking about all the hours and hours of work that must go into crafting every second of them 😅
Can't wait to see the (Rise of the Horde) events in the next video. Really, the way the Ner'zhul gets tricked was hilarious to me. Always thought he was Horney for some reason.
1:07 Rarely. It's important to say this *rarely* happens, as the developers mentioned. They obviously had to make it a rare event because otherwise it would make the Naaru a constant dangerous threat they'd have to account for all the time.
I love these videos so much coz although i dont play wow, i love the music and the lore behind it. With that being said, I wish I could see the music you use for these videos coz I love them to death
@@eurobeatvisionary9540 Thanks man, I spent so much time re-listening entire wod soundtrack, i even listened to 3 versions of Malach and missed this part because wasnt sure if its even here
the "Ogre Pride" part was so funny especially when Velen said "GG EZ GET ROLLED KID IMAGINE THINKING YOU COULD KILL US LMAO BRONZE PLAYER TRASH" it was so funny HAHAHAHAHAH Platinum WoW is the best at storytelling xD
9:06 Now imagine: *German, Jaina.* *Japanese, Thrall.* *Spanish, Mechatorqe.* *French, Sylvanas.* *Korean, Iliadin.* *Swedish, Anduin.* That's all I could think of at the moment, feel free to add your own *"lingo-character"* combinations Below this comment!
This is why people play World of Warcraft, because we got epic stories from Warcraft 3. But what if we exhaust them all and then what? Platinum wow just proved that WoW 2.0 back to the past would be much much better story content than any of the shit we see now. OMG WoW history have so much god damn content you could make like 10 MMO worth of content out of it and yet we have some stupid BFA and Shadowlands.
Here's a suggestion for the next video: The history of the Mogu and Lei Shen. Since it seems very likely that they'll be the next Allied Race to be added to the game
*Draenei Land* "ah a planet of our own, we will name it Draenor, this shall be our new homeworld" *Orcs whove lived there forever* "uhhh... hello?" *Draenei* "totally our own!"
I remember in Outlands on Nagrand there was a warrior that was half orc half dranei that was like an outcast, so there was some kind of "action" between both.
You are the best Plat 👌 another amazing lore video. Hope you eventually get back to the dungeon dives as well. All of the dungeons of TBC are so interesting and I'd love to this history on them from your perspective.
Velen invited young Durotan and his friend to a dinner because they were lost after hunting. There he saw a vision that these two will genocide his people, but he let them go because he knew he had no power over the future.
Can we give a big shout out to the Orcs that, seeing their Ogre enemies finally beaten down to submission and ALLOWED TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY, decided to just want to go and fight these blue goat people? Like, worst idea ever but you gotta praise a man...or an Orc, that sees a damn sign of ROAD WORK AHEAD and instead of turning around and avoiding doom, just says "d'uh I sure hope it does"
