J'essaie de FINIR World Of Warcraft (Burning Crusade)

The video begins with the creator expressing a desire for a change of pace from constant PvP in "Midnight" (likely a game mode or server) to a more relaxed collection-focused activity. They announce the start of a Burning Crusade (TBC) collection endeavor, acknowledging that some viewers have been asking for more TBC content. A significant piece of negative news is shared: the "speed character" phenomenon, which allowed players to permanently increase their character's movement speed significantly (around 230-240% without buffs for the creator's demon hunter), has been severely nerfed due to the stat squish implemented before "Midnight." The creator demonstrates this by showing how removing a piece of gear that should grant 14% speed only results in a 5% loss, leading to a substantial overall reduction in their character's speed. This nerf impacts the efficiency of collecting older content. The focus then shifts to the "All the Things" addon, a crucial tool for collection, which the creator highly recommends. They explain their personal settings, opting to track mounts, illusions, and appearances, while excluding quests, recipes, and pet battles. The creator mentions they are currently at 39% completion across all expansions but prefers to focus on individual expansions using a macro. They emphasize the impossibility of collecting everything in World of Warcraft due to the constant release of new content. Regarding Vanilla WoW collection, the creator states they are at 51% completion, having collected 4439 out of 8617 entries. They enjoy raiding and dungeons but find Vanilla collection challenging due to several factors: * **Low Drop Rates:** Many valuable items, like a million gold katana from the Deadmines, have extremely low drop rates, leading to inflated prices due to scarcity and low player interest in farming them. * **Content Alteration:** The Cataclysm expansion significantly altered the game world. Dungeons like the Deadmines are now only accessible through Timewalking. Specific boss drops, like an axe from a boss in Uldaman, are now class-restricted or require group trading, as Timewalking loot is often class-bound. Zone reformatting, such as the Southern Barrens replacing the Barrens, also changes questlines and monster populations, impacting collection. * **Player Preference:** The creator finds Vanilla's altered content less enjoyable to collect because items and mechanics are not as intended. Due to these issues with Vanilla, the creator has decided to focus on Burning Crusade. They see TBC as the logical next step and, crucially, its content has not been significantly altered by later expansions. This means quests, dungeons, raids, and professions in TBC remain as they were, offering a more stable and legitimate collection experience. Using the "All the Things" addon with a modified macro, the creator checks their TBC collection progress and finds they are at 33%. They consider this a good starting point, especially since they've previously raided TBC. They highlight the usefulness of the `/att mini` command, which shows collection progress within the current zone, serving as a guide for players unsure where to start. The creator then begins a TBC dungeon run in normal mode with their Druid character, a class they've invested time in for reputation grinding and which is relatively fast. They explain that normal mode is preferred over heroic for collection due to the higher number of daily instances allowed. The creator also touches upon the TBC raid token system, where specific raid gear tokens are class-specific and require multiple characters of different classes to acquire all variations. During the dungeon runs, the creator expresses mild frustration with loot drops but notes the progress being made, reaching 36% TBC collection. They discuss how starting a new expansion with a low completion percentage leads to rapid gains initially, unlike Vanilla where progress is slower. The creator then embarks on several TBC raids: * **Shadow Labyrinth:** They run it multiple times, noting the limited number of instances per hour and the lack of blue-quality drops. They also mention the possibility of using their Demon Hunter for faster runs due to its mobility. * **Vault of the Archon:** They run this raid, highlighting the need for characters of each class to acquire specific token gear. They mention sending tokens to their Druid and other characters. * **Karazhan:** This is identified as a favorite raid. The creator aims to collect all mounts, including the horse from Attumen the Huntsman and the phoenix from Anzu. They also mention the importance of reputation grinds for items like the Netherwing drakes. They note missing specific items from Morose and the Curator. They also briefly explain the "nitro boost" item's utility in raids. * **Black Temple:** This is another favorite raid. The creator is looking for specific items like the Zardoz and General's Cowl, and expresses relief at not getting the Warglaives of Azzinoth, which they already possess. They also mention the possibility of obtaining crafting patterns. A useful trick for exiting raids quickly when out of Hearthstone charges is demonstrated: creating a custom group with a nonsensical name, waiting 20 seconds, and then leaving, which initiates a 1-minute timer to be teleported out. The creator also recommends addons for rare mob tracking in TBC, such as "Inquisition" and "Rare Scanner," to ensure no rare spawns are missed. They mention that if rare mobs aren't present, changing war mode or waiting can help. The creator then attempts the chess encounter in Karazhan, admitting they don't play chess but explain their strategy involving taking control of a pawn and moving it strategically. They acknowledge the difficulty and potential for Medivh to cheat. Despite a near-death experience, they complete the encounter. The video concludes with the creator reflecting on their TBC collection progress, reaching 43% after running several raids. They express satisfaction with the rapid progress compared to Vanilla and the overall enjoyment of TBC's more structured and unaltered content. They ask viewers if they want to see this TBC collection series continue and mention that they will be streaming this content. They also encourage viewers to subscribe for notifications.
