The Chronal Spire, Pieces of Farahlon and Early Tanaan

Consider showing where all the zeps and ships are inWoW, and maybe explain the space magic (pun) Blizz ised for transports.

You really make very good videos!

early version of tanaan looks much more like an actual jungle then the live version.

Draenor is just... a case study in wasted potential. It deserved every single one of its 5m+ lots subs and I hope they learned their lesson for Legion.

In the end, having us enter Draenor directly through the Dark Portal suited the story better. A mirror flip of the First War, where instead WE are invading THEIR world.

I'm surprised blizzard hasn't sent you a Cease and Desist.

tbh this is all just nostalgia of what could have been. If you got the chronal spire zone, and lets say for example that meant the tanaan jungle we have now would have been completely scrapped, someone would have made a video just like this of the design zone and everyone would have been drooling over "how good it could have been" once again. It's only that you're used to it and have played in it, done everything you need and seen it that much that you're burned out.

I would have proffered the Chronal Spire

Man I'm salty. I'm one of those people who actually really liked WoD. But seeing all of these areas that "could" have been in the game just makes me feel like it could have been something so much more then what it was.

That cave in tanaan is so similar to the one where we found killrog isn't it?and the farahlon probably will be like crystalsong judging by the tres and forest..

Rip in peace Farahlon.

Thanks for sharing this :)

RIP Faralohn, Ogre Island, Tanaan and the real WoD End-boss.

Could you do a video of that hidden room underneath Stormwind? The place where supposedly Gul'dan (I think) did some sneaky warlock stuff there. It would be awesome do see what's under there, as I've always wondered.

Found this via asmongold not 20 minutes ago and already loving your stuff!

To see all that beautiful design to go to waste just makes me sad. :( Cmon bliz why u had to remove what could have been an epic expansion.

Probably related to the Bronze Dragonflight. It's too bad that they didn't feature more prominently in WoD.

Hooooly shit, Early Tanaan looks 80,000 times better than what we have now. I don't like dark places with fel everywhere...

asmongold recommended your channel, fantastic content keep it up

what program do you use to review and find those file's ? nice work btw :)

Better that what we got.

Especially that Early Tanaan it look so much better.

That Tanaan version looks a lot more interesting than the current one. More like an actual jungle. The only thing that's remotely like a jungle in the current one is the area behind the portal and where the Saberstalkers are. The rest looks like Shadowmoon Valley with trees..

love your videos but hate the music for them.

Tanaan could have been an epic server event, where it started out as pure but in real time You'd see the Fel slowly start to corrupt the land till we get to the point where we are today.

found your channel through asmongold, great vid and music. Makes me miss farahlon even more :(

I like the old Tananaan jungle more, it looks more mysterious and savage yet beautiful

Honestly, seeing early Tanaan and the Chronal Spire makes me really wish they had kept with their original ideas for Warlords instead of making it a very uninspired segue into Legion.

So Farahlon would've been like an updated version of Azuremyst Isle?

So much wasted potential ... :(

"Lore ‏@CM_Lore 24 iul. 2014
@Carune001 There is level 100 content in most zones. Tanaan as patch content has always been the plan."

That amount of lies... incredible....

I weep for the art department, they put in SO much effort...

Great content, would be even better (debatably) if there was voice over that read the text.

Now we know why blizz waited.

any chance of showing the rest of draenor from these mapfiles?

This is once more evidence that Blizzard scrapped like half the content they were working on for WoD. Not only game files and designs but don't forget story changes which were obviously the reason not to ship so much content. Probably also the big dislike of garrison because it quickly became old. I think Blizzard was trying to deliver a big masterpiece when the concept started and many good ideas can be found in the alpha and beta files plus all the story lines, in questing zones, that have been hinting on so much additional content, that have never been finished. In the end they had to connect many dots that didn't really match, which left us with a Burning Legion influenced Tanaan Jungle, never seeing Fahralon, and so much more. All of this combined ended with a failed expansion pack. Except for Raids which had been wonderful imo.

First of all, nice video!
This look like more potential than what we got.
Retail Tanaan is just one big fucking grindfest and... that's all.
They could use Farhlon for the grindfest and do something with that other freaking whole CONTINENT, but nooo two patches and get stuffed...

Relly wish they had kept Faralohn, I don't know what they mean by, "It didn't fit into the story," it did.

Jag måste fråga, hur får du tag på alla tidiga builds? och hur gör du för att bygga och dataminea allt... skulle gärna vilja veta :)

If we had gotten this early version of Tanaan, it would have easily been the coolest part of WoD

The Tanaan in this video looks so much better than the garbage we have now.

This expansion easily had the potential to be the best. But the scrapping of Karabor, Bladespire, Farahlon, and most of the content on Ashran ruined it. Not to mention the sheer lack of content (only three raids), the fact that Tanaan was delayed until 6.2, and the fact they removed flying until the end of the expansion, this was by far the worst expansion we have gotten thus far.

That's Tanaan Jungle from the third timelime coming in World of Warcraft : Farahlon Missing. But jokes aside, the alpha of Tanaan looked way more intriguing than what we currently have. I never was a fan of how Tanaan Jungle looks today. Feels more like a forest than a jungle...

I remember taking the flight path from my garrison to Zangara early on in this expansion and just looking up randomly at the mountains I was passing quite by chance. Going past the tallest one I saw a bronze dragon spawn and start falling through the air until it disappeared. I'm wondering if they still wanted to do something to salvage the chronal spire late in development and just forgot to remove that dragon.

+Hayven Games what software do you use for viewing WoW maps?

love the background music, i want your playlist :)

Wow the original Tanaan looks super intersting!
The Chronal Spire was probably intended to be linked or in place of the book that involved the bronze dragon taking Garrosh to Draenor.

Its has been a year since this video is released, I never saw it, but now, with all the knowledge about the true Warlords of Draenor - I should say the first Warlords of Draenir - and all your software, you could make your own Wod version, and make it playable with a private servers, its a good idea don't you think ? ( But I also know that it requires a lot of work)

Rest in Peace Hayven

Yeah I can see why they scrapped this version of Tanaan Jungle...seeing as how its not a jungle

Rest in peace, Hayven Games.

So sad to see they've learned nothing 6-7 years later. Shadowlands could've been a good time but it's clear they mismanaged their time, scrapped everything planned, and were forced to make ends meet at the sacrifice of one of the most confusing and destructive plots we've ever experienced.

Well done Blizzard Entertainment.
