A cinematic is currently exciting the fans of World of Warcraft. At the center is an Orc who amusingly bites the digital dust.
In recent months, World of Warcraft has experienced a surge in popularity again. This is due not only to the good condition of Dragonflight but also to the great success of World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore. Here, the heroes have only a single life – when they die, their journey ends, and they must start anew.
On the way to level 60, many heroes have lost their lives. It has become a major phenomenon to watch the funniest or most ridiculous deaths of well-known streamers. Often, thousands have been live as their favorite streamer made a preventable mistake, ruining days and hours of work.
The most famous of these deaths has now been honored with its own cinematic.
What kind of death was that? It concerns the streamer Guzu. He tragically and quite amusingly lost his warrior in the dungeon “The Temple of Atal’Hakkar”. The group was currently fighting the green dragon “Weaver” when Guzu responded to a question in the chat. He showed his community the mousepad from “Dragonflight” and held it up to the camera – only to be thrown into the air by the dragon at that exact moment.
The throw propelled Guzu directly into the only large hole in the room. Panic-stricken, he tries to drink a Noggenfogger Elixir to hopefully activate “slow fall” – but in vain. The impact ends the warrior’s story forever.
What kind of cinematic is this? The video comes from YouTuber Hurricane. He took the time to recreate the entire scene with modern graphics and a lot of humor.
Hurricane has been known for his high-quality trailers surrounding World of Warcraft for years. In fact, his videos have been so good that for several years now he has even been officially creating trailers for Blizzard – sometimes for special announcements in WoW Classic, sometimes for competitive events, such as dungeon tournaments.
The streamer is excited: Guzu himself is also absolutely thrilled with the video. When he reacts to it in the stream, he can hardly stop laughing and has to watch it multiple times in a row:
Especially the many small details, such as the built-in mousepad, the search for the Noggenfogger Elixir, and even the demonic rune (a reference to another death of Guzu) make the video a significant tribute for him.
Who would have thought that one of the “most embarrassing moments” of a WoW hero could be presented so epicly?
Do you also enjoy watching the biggest fails in WoW Classic HC? Or can you find nothing appealing about it?
