The Complete History of the Warcraft Universe in 23 Minutes

Recommended Posts

We have a really special treat to check out today, as Youtube channel Hidden Azeroth has put together a truly impressive video detailing the entire history of the Warcraft universe (or at least what we know of it), in one easy to follow chronological video! In only 23 minutes they manage to condense most of the relevant information, and it's not only very useful for newer players, but pretty much everyone, as it puts things into perspective properly (and is a pretty funny video in and of itself as well).

We get to hear everything from the Titans first visit to Azeroth, the World Souls, Void Lords and Old Gods, to the first trolls, first humans, Sargeras, the Sundering and so much more, right up until the end of BfA and the beginning of Shadowlands, so definitely give it a look, regardless of your level of lore knowledge. The pace of the voice-over is pretty relentless and fast, so you might want to concentrate fully on it to catch everything:

Man that was fun to watch but he said some straight up wrong stuff in the first 5 min that made me wonder if he was wrong about the stuff I didnt directly know. Either way really entertaining

Hello! I'm the creator of the video and I wanted to ask which parts specifically you felt were wrong. I pretty exhaustively researched the lore before writing the script, and all the feedback I've heard so far is that it's generally accurate (excluding a few small tweaks I did for the sake of the video making sense). 

If I did make any mistakes I'd like to know so I can amend the video accordingly.

1. I think saying they leave behind some dragons is kind of misleading and really glosses over the whole Galakrond thing and how the dragons actually got promoted, maybe a bit too nit picky for this vid but just a first glance thing since the dragons werent actually left behind.

2. The argus bit about letting sarg regenerate anyone in his army. This part I know is kind of all over the place in terms of lore but demons already could regenerate and this skips over the whole prison planet issue, and one of the reasons sarg gets all "the demons iv been killing forever will now help me purge the universe"

3. Skipping that the world tree wasnt what made the night elves immortal in my opinion makes it seem like it was all the well and the tree instead of norzdomu making it so that the tree actually gave them immortality.

4. This one is pretty big imo because itll more than likely be used down the line, we do not kill the old gods. The first old god we actually kill is Nzoth. All the others we either are throwing them back into their prison or destroy their manifestation. I didnt see you note about the sundering but you did mention that titans couldnt kill the old gods and somehow players could.

 

Some of that might be nit picky and cut/not mentioned due to time but the details made me feel they were wrong.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
