  1. 55k positive and 228 negative. I guess the entire Concord playerbase is out in full force.

  2. Dad "Asmonbald, get a job~!" Asmonbald "I did dad, I downloaded the award winning MMO Final Fantasy XIV and now my job is Warrior."

  3. Diablo 4 : "Less terrible than it was previously, play it today"

  4. WoWs free trial - 2 hours of content XIVs free trial - 2 months of content

  5. if woke writers created a D&D character sheet for their characters, all you would see filled in is appearance and minor details about their ethnicity/sexuality. the entire bio section meant to explain their backstory, personality and motivations would be completely blank.
    984
  6. Soon Asmon will be running his own dungeon for balding men to role play with other balding men.

  7. now imagine that DRK armor on your newly minted Lv 90 Lalafell.
    733
  8. the best part of the fight is people see moogles and go aww cute before they wipe. though if you listen to the lyrics, they talk about beheading people and shanking them in the gut. thats some slightly dark imagery in a fight with such a light theme of cute furry creatures.

  9. shes probably afraid he will get out of punishment and claim her bed as his, and we all know how he reacts when he claims a space.
    496
  10. want to know how the Jailer snapped half the player base into nonexistence? read the new novel "Zovaal, The Jailer" for only $49.95, coming to stores and digital Fall 2022.
    466
  11. asking sweet baby inc to consult on your game is like asking homer simpson to design a car. in the end, nothing good will come of it.
    458
  12. "We fixed a system we shipped broken. Praise us." "No." "Well that guy is just an asshole."

  13. jumping puzzles are no joke, wait til he gets to Kugane Tower.
    391
  14. "Say my name." "Baldemort" "You're god damn right."
    333
  15. the complexity of a story or simplicity of the story boils down to the skill of the writer or writers involved. when you have Wattpad writers with aspirations of being Tolkien... you run into narrative issues because their scope outstrips their talent.
    325
  16. people on the forums brought up this video and its literally just a thousand the house on fire everything is fine meme style responses. you see shit talking and comments of "who is carbot?" and calling them a wanna-be influencer. its pretty hilarious how head in the sand people can be.
    286
  17. not only calling critics racist but also trying to file lawsuits against them for harassment.
    270
  18. "I had to pay real money to transfer to a new server because my server died." Amazon "Working as intended."
    262
  19. Dominic Torreto uses Limit Break Level 4 : "Family"
    253
  20. "I dont get immersed in stories." Two Months Later "Is she dead? Dont tell me shes dead. Did she survive... she didnt die right. OMG they killed my favorite waifu"
    231
  21. his biggest error is calling micro-transactions a "necessary evil", they are absolutely not necessary. those skins you buy don't go towards the developers, they go to the suits on top's pocket. if they sell 100 more skins, you dont get an extra patch of content, you get 100 more skins for you to buy, because sparkle ponies make bank, expansions/patches dont.
    229
  22. reminds me of MoP, our main pally tank would sit on the Timeless Isle and flag, then go "Come at me bitches" and just nuke everyone to the ground while we sit, watching, munching popcorn.
    215
  23. Roadhog has more charisma in his first two chins than the entire cast of Concord.
    212
  24. people used to get fired for doing a piss poor job, now they get promoted to lead game director.
    210
  25. Nope, they will replace him with his daughter and she will use her mothers maiden name.
    199
  26. the secret to surviving a bear attack isnt outrunning the bear, its outrunning the other person with you.
    197
  27. they self snitch because they have grown comfortable in the idea they wont get caught nor prosecuted. thats why people do this, they honestly believe they are untouchable.
    196
  28. I say its impressive, even taking into account the changes in tuning, improved toolkits, and scaling. this is only tier 1 though of Alex, the final tier might be a different story. look forward to Stormblood and Shadowbringers Savage fights.
    165
  29. "Oh its gonna die off in a week and a half" I dont know the 5,000 private servers running the Wrath client beg to differ on its longevity.
    141
  30. Amazon "We're not like every other girl... we're worse."
    139
  31. the thing about the "infinite battle rezes" is that each takes a huge chunk of MP to cast and to hard cast them takes time you dont always have in the middle of the fight. sure there is swiftcast but thats for one cast, and if you need to rez multiple people, you will either need to leave them dead until swiftcast comes back up or hard cast a raise. on top of that, you get essentially an one minute or so rez sickness debuff that reduces your potency and can lead you to getting one shot again if you are not careful. its laughable when people think having as many battle rezes in a fight as you want will somehow make the fights cheap and easy. the fact the raid developers know you can battle rez at any time, they tune the fights around it being there. so you have harder hitting mechanics and more one shots than you would have if you had a limited number.
    128
  32. its the job meme "Entry level position, 5 years experience required."
    128
  33. I find it funny that people say "if only the developers realized..." when it comes to how long this shit takes but in reality, they know, the game is working as intended.
    123
  34. The point of throwing it into the abyss is that its a raging storm of aether that no living thing could survive. So he assumed the eyes were safely entombed at the bottom. You cant simply destroy the eyes, they are still filled with potent energy, it would be like setting an atom bomb at the gates of ishgard, nuking the entire place.
    123
  35. the Mcconnells of wow are the literal guild slayers, they come in with their negative aura and destroy any fun you may be having to fuel their need to judge other people. its less about the game and more about wanting to be a judgmental prick to other people. I think every guild Ive been in that suddenly died, is because someone invited a Mcconnell in, they took over and nuked the fun.
    114
  36. well you have a game being made in california, of course they have to have the villain invoke Trump.
    104
  37.  @GazerPlur420  didnt you know that Saiyans are real and they created the Han Dynasty.
    104
  38.  @heywhaddupbrah  if you think Asmon is raid leading... you have clearly been deceived. there is a reason his in-game chat window is always covered. they tell him the strat while he role plays as Asmongold to his twitch chat.
    90
  39. the guy is a natural fence sitter, he tries to appease everyone, and ends up appeasing no one. even when he gains no tangible benefit from fence sitting.
    87
  40. I dont mind people criticizing, as long as the criticism is genuine and not fabricated. Ive seen people criticize a game but take something small and minute then blow it grossly out of proportion. literally making a mountain out of a mole hill just to play the "Gotcha" game. there are some people who literally lie about a game when they cant find something to blow out of proportion. Then they will get horribly angry and defensive when you call them out for playing the "Gotcha" game.
    86
  41. McCree is now McMercer
    85
  42. sounds like its ready to release boys, no bugs whatsoever.
    85
  43. "And I was doing Torghast..." That sounds like a setup for a terrible joke.
    83
  44. no they are responsible, there is literal video footage of her telling a crowd of people to openly threaten and blackmail PR within companies to hire her company. hire them or suffer the consequences of "something" negative being leaked to twitter. like mafioso tactics of "would be a shame if something bad happened to your companies image".
    83
  45. its a power move, the more control they have over what people can see and experience. it never ends, it starts with a few words, then its an outfit or two, next thing you know you live in China where you have an exclusive government approved version of everything on the planet.
    80
  46. Lazy peon recorded a hit piece filled with lies and half truths because he was angry people kept needling him to try the game. nothing good ever comes from a community egging streamers/youtubers into doing things. then again LP is a dumbass.
    79
  47. "Revenge of the Balds"
    77
  48.  @energyhorseXD  People who think WoW is comparatively difficult to XV has no idea what savage or even ultimate raiding is. See, I can say stupid shit too.
    76
  49. I find it funny, she says "I havent passed judgement" but she did ask "whats it like to be ugly" which would insinuate she has passed judgement and considers him ugly. psychobabble double talk.
    76
  50. @Big Tatsu not really bad at all, most people who have issues with it are just those with no patience. if you can level up in vanilla wow, ARR is a cake walk.
    70
  51.  @ChrisPC39  dont worry, her atrocities will be hand waved soon enough. she will be "tortured" for like half a patch then forgotten.
    68
  52. I always liked the way XIV changed up the jobs without adding in new buttons to press, they just added traits that changed X Skill into Y Skill, complete with new animations and maybe a buff to damage. Like MCH, they changed the strafing cone shot into you pulling out a shotgun and blasting a cone spread. no new button but it looks cooler and does a bit more damage. Honestly, they could have adopted a similar trait style system that changed core abilities to be themed around the hero trees. so when you saw someone using a hero tree, you could see a visual change. a hero tree paladin doesnt just play like a hero tree paladin, all their spells and abilities look like a hero tree paladin.
    66
  53. A secret that no one must ever know... if Tirion were here, he would erect a giant fountain in the middle of mor dhona telling all who clicked it the very secret he swore to keep to himself.
    64
  54. I was in a guild that was small, and during wrath the guild leader wanted to so Ony25. Sadly we could only field a 10man team so he looked around and found another guild who wanted to run Ony25 as well but they were a few people short. So our 10man team, the ones online, supplemented the rest of the roster, our main tank, the two healers and few of the dps. The raid leader stipulated that anyone doing under 4% of the total damage would get 25 pts deducted from all rolls on loot. A bullshit rule but the guild leader was insistent on us running. So we entered the raid, no fuss no muss, we managed to down Onyxia. Now comes the loot. the 2H sword drops. I wanted it. Im sitting there on my ret paladin and I roll, knowing full well I was going to get the bullshit roll reduction. So it was three of us, two warriors from the other guild and me, the ret paladin. I roll high, so high in fact, even with the 25 pt deduction I still trounce both warriors. I won the roll, even with the odds stacked against me, I won it legit fair and square. The chat lit up like a christmas tree. people calling me filthy names, people demanding the sword be given to one of the warriors, they "deserved" it. Typical nonsense. even the warriors were livid. for like 20 min the chat was like a field of howler monkeys screeching and throwing poo in my direction. finally, my guild master steps up "They won the roll, they won the sword, clear as day." My guild master has been in whispers with the raid leader discussing the situation. The raid leader and loot master relented. The sword dropped into my bags. After the rest of the loot was distributed, the guild members pitched in to get it fully gemmed and enchanted. I wore that sword proudly in Dalaran, and its still in my characters bank to this day. A little female draenei paladin had won the day. Thats the sort of guild you want to be in, not some shitty guild that steals gear from pugs while trying to take the high road pretending to protect their guild mates.
    64
  55. "flying trivializes the world" The world was never dangerous or difficult, it was just extremely annoying to navigate. Its gotten more annoying as time has gone by with denser mob packs and invisible walls everywhere. the no flying is so they can keep you grounded and running through a maze of invisible walls and mob packs, wasting more and more time.
    61
  56.  @alanblacker2686  the difference is, they dont have a yoshi p to come in and rebuild it from the ashes... just a hazzikostas and a denuser. the guys who burned it down in the first place. it will truly become world of fruitbowls.
    60
  57. People cheer when DEI departments are getting closed... but they dont realize is, the departments served their purpose, they have infected every corner of the company. The departments are now redundant and since the term DEI is tainted, they've moved onto a new moniker, Bridge.
    59
  58. in 2004, WoW accidentally succeeded. in 2022, WoW is intentionally failing.
    59
  59. that advertisement is a bit misleading on the surface, unlike wow, the majority of people dont solely focus on the trinity of content (Dungeons, Raids, PvP) and have other interests. There is content for people who like dungeons, raids and to a lesser extent pvp. You can sit there and do normals then savage and get ready for ultimates. you can dungeon grind for tomestones, and you can engage in PvP, with a new pvp mode promised for Endwalker. They just know their audience and advertising Savage Raids wont get them excited.
    57
  60. this is why Akira Toriyama stopped giving power levels numerical value.
    57
  61. the greatest april fools joke Blizzard could come up with... "interesting content".
    56
  62. listened to the sweaty minmaxers and now the game is circling the drain. congrats on your end game being the only game.
    55
  63. FFXIV has one furry race. WoW has like half a dozen. Calls FFXIV anime while WoW literally had Thrall Kamehameha Deathwing in a cutscene.
    55
  64. I love the cope with "the gameplay is still good", no it isnt, unless you live in a hub world and just do mythic+ all day running the same 6 dungeons until you are nauseous, chasing that ever present "keystone master" every "season".
    54
  65. "Breathes" Asmon: Thats so anime dude.
    52
  66. Momodi is an equal opportunity gossiper. she offers to trade tales of manhoods and hear mens lady woes all the same.
    52
  67. how did all the WoW refugees travel from Azeroth to Eorzea. They entered into Karazhan and exited through the Anti-tower.
    49
  68. about the two stores. name one item on the WoW store that was ever available in game. ask the same question to any XIV player, and they would probably list at least half the content currently on the store/mogstation. most of what is being sold is old event items that were in game and replaced with new items. thats how events go, they have it up for one year, then refresh the event for the following year with more new items, then put the old ones on the mogstation for relatively cheap prices. you know wow players have been clamouring for a witches broom mount for Hallow's end for years, a permanent mount. XIV gave us one for a past halloween event. You can buy it for $16 off the mogstation. if you were here for that halloween, you got it for free with a quest completion, you werent, well you can still acquire it for some money. Thats how its always worked. Thats why most fans of XIV are fine with the shop. if you were here from 2.0 and forward, and didnt stop subbing, you pretty much have most of the mogstation in your inventory without a single extra penny spent. Can you say the same about the WoW Cash shop?
    48
  69. "I dont know how to put this." *immediately puts on maid outfit* Asmonmaid "Greetings Ouji-sama"
    47
  70. A player will always... ALWAYS take the path of least resistance. No matter age, gender, skill level. If they can get away with pulling trash, trapping them, kill boss and leave for the most rewards per minute, they will do it. This is why, if the dungeon gives good rewards or quest items, always put them on the last boss or shit like brayflox hard will inevitably happen.
    46
  71. Tinyviolin whispered to themself, "Finally the charade is over, my time has come, Arthas give me strength."
    46
  72. honestly, once you figure out where to go its a face palm moment because you walk past it like a hundred times for that first corrupted crystal. its a painfully obvious path down.
    46
  73. and the fact that Cruise isnt the last samurai of the title, Katsumoto was the last samurai.
    45
  74. maybe because once they stop worrying about how they look, they can relax and let their personality shine.
    42
  75. "pump the damage" Ikilyu "As you wish" *all the dps and healers instantly die*
    42
  76. people think others are nitpicking a scene or two but I knew the moment I saw the first one presented there had to be at least two dozen more identical scenes just waiting to be posted for the internet at large to mock for Dragqueen Age : The Therapyguard
    41
  77. "We didnt like that the beta testers were leveling too fast so at launch we will make it harder by making the game kill you IRL when you wipe."
    41
  78.  @Avalked  yeah the Wandering Minstrel is his self insert and there were a couple of Rising events where you actually met Yoshi P the person in the space between worlds where he broke the fourth wall and thanked you the warrior of light and player for the continued support through the years.
    40
  79.  @BooguyTheAdept  the only real difference is the diamonds are filled in instead of hollowed out. its such a minor thing but it stops people with a severe phobia from freaking the fuck out. personally I dont like either of them, and would prefer the icon to just be a single "knife laser". wont be as stylized but at least it would be easy to tell what job it is. but thats just me.
    40
  80. very diverse bunch of employees, you see that old woman with the rainbow blizzard tshirt, see, theyve changed.
    39
  81. Yoshi P is the true warrior of light.
    39
  82. his first canon appearance was 1v1'ing the Hulk. so it is comic accurate to be a hulk buster.
    39
  83. Because Arthas isnt a girl boss, even with immaculate blonde mane.
    38
  84.  @NostraDavid2  thats because WoW was trying to copy FF even back then, forgetting the nuance and the build up to being called a hero. In XIV, not every single NPC drools on you and lavishes you with praise the moment they meet you. Though they do acknowledge your accomplishments like slaying primals.
    36
  85. Blizzard has been in an arms race with addon creators for so long, its simply become complexity for complexities sake. Its like having a door with every conceivable lock to combat every conceivable type of intruder, its good in theory but when you have to leave or come home its a massive chore just to get through the door. After a few years you get a knack for speed running the lock opening, but now imagine you need someone to house sit, and they have to constantly lock and unlock this massive cavalcade of locks to enter and exit your place. They definitely wont be volunteering to house sit for you again. This is an easy fix but its a fix that wont happen simply because the addon culture is so ingrained in the player base, you wont be able to cut it off without massive backlash. So you end up just slowly bleeding out from an easily treatable wound.
    34
  86.  @firstlast6437  if it takes you 120 hours to get out of ARR, I suggest you take the money you would spend on subs and invest it into a speed reading class and some meditation courses. you read slow and clearly have patience issues.
    33
  87. started WoW in patch 1.9 and played all the way until BFA, the systems finally broke me. I alternated between XIV and WoW, but BFA was just enough. I wasnt playing the game, it ended up I was just playing the systems. Thats when I went to XIV full time.
    33
  88.  @hmpang4996  sometimes even memes can ruin a good thing. just look at blizzard and their cataclysm meme factory of old zones.
    33
  89. the biggest mistake was players thinking this shallow gimmick would lead to bigger things and calling it "Classic+".
    32
  90. the Sultansworn, the Sultana's Private Defense Force. they are more like the Secret Service than beat cops.
    32
  91. I dont think Id wanna see stereotypical lesbian asian overweight Killer Frost with a "call me ma'am" haircut.
    32
  92. Just one more thing added to splinter the community even further and for people to use to discriminate against their fellow player. as if wow wasnt a rotting cesspool before, they threw in several barrels of toxic wastes into the already contaminated pool.
    32
  93. an asmon-souls, where he fights against showers, brooms and bars of soap.
    31
  94. funny about the gore when WoW has zero gore while late XIV does have literal blood.
    31
  95. exactly, I liked her in BTAS, and I really dislike Margot Robbie.
    31
  96. you are still surviving on copium, Microsoft is no different than Activision. they may give a positive face in the beginning to con you into thinking things have changed but so does Blizzard if theres enough pushback. Then it goes into business as usual. its all a facade. I expect a lot of the smaller teams at Blizzard being terminated and the employees going to other teams if not outright fired.
    30
  97. "it's not just water, it's water that you can walk on " "so something Ive been doing since like what? 2004?"
    29
  98. the xbox series x, is a triple X box.
    28
  99. they censor the "young girl" models but you will still see bare chested "young boy" models.
    27
  100. the issue with the running animation is that WoW doesnt give you the impression your character has any weight to them, you can turn on a dime and feel as though no momentum has been lost, its all rather floaty at times. While XIV, the character animation makes it look as though your character has weight to it and that momentum was lost when you come to sudden stop and turns to run in the opposite direction, and even have a psuedo-stumble when coming to a complete stop. neither games actually limit your speed when running, its just the animation in one gives you the experience through its animation while the other your character is simply a rag doll that can be thrown in whatever direction it wishes with zero consequences. its like large mounts in both games, they give the impression of slow and lumbering with their larger bodies and wider strides, but in reality they go just as fast as any other mount. its all impression.
    27
  101. WoWs Shadow Council turned on each other. much blood was spilled.
    27
  102. the real goal of feminism, to have all the privileges of men, and the responsibility/accountability of a child.
    25
  103.  @itouchbuttons  yeah the days of fun and exploration is over. everyone will have in depth guides up on the internet days before the games official release telling you every secret it has to offer. like the new M1K game, I saw like two dozen full story playthroughs before the game was even on shelves.
    25
  104. dude lost me at "If we look back at the success of vanilla wow.." yes lets look at a point in wow history where barely anyone in the game knew what a raid was. the game wasnt successful because of a creative raid cadence, it was due to it being a casual alternative to other sweaty MMOs. people always seem to learn the wrong lessons from the past or try to bend it to whatever narrative they are trying to spin.
    25
  105. of course they changed it, why are people continually surprised when they change, alter, remove or modify games for things like remasters. this is the modern audience approved edition, as I like to call it, and I never waste my time buying them.
    25
  106. I think Blizzard should look at relics from XIV, like Shadowbringers, certain portions of the chain are one and done steps. You do them once and then you no longer have to do them when farming out a second relic. they could do legendary quest chains for gear and have some portions be account wide, to streamline second/third/etc legendarys on alts.
    25
  107. remember the days when flying was something you bought the moment you hit max level for like 5k gold? pepperridge farm remembers.
    24
  108. "They thought it would be a game that killed Warcraft but it was just one man." Asmongold : Baldwalker
    24
  109. my younger cousin just calls them "mondays" as his racial epitaph.
    24
  110. he doesnt want to like the game. trying to get him to play the game is like trying to get a little kid to eat their vegetables. will make up all the excuses in the world why the vegetables are terrible and why they wont eat them.
    21
  111. the beginning of the end was the creation of the addon "Gearscore".
    21
  112. its funny to the actual mechanics for Gladys, in reg queue you dont even get that far before he just falls over. I can imagine some people in chat being in awe of seeing them for the first time.
    21
  113. your location can effect the potency of your spells... that sounds as horrible as "fire cant hurt fire elementals". sometimes logic and theming doesnt make for good gameplay. sure its cool you can have fire being shit in cold weather from a design standpoint but gonna suck for anyone who like to throw fireballs when they hit like a wiffle ball just because the ambient temperature is under 75 degrees. I thought we learned this lesson back in the early 2000's.
    21
  114. just look at who the judges are... you know exactly who is going to win each category. Im 90% positive.
    21
  115.  @wiredrayne  I really wish people would stop using mentor as some sort of derogatory slur. There are just as many helpful knowledgeable mentors as there are stupid asshole mentors who just want the crown icon.
    20
  116. people mistake Tom Cruise's character as the "last samurai". He wasnt, the man who took him in and trained him was the titular Last Samurai.
    20
  117. yes, you too can buy a chinese xbox that is made of tofu, and will explode like Inspector Gadget's orders if you play longer than 60 minutes.
    20
  118. definitely higher than 15k, you know when people guess about shit like this, they are most definitely lowballing to make look slightly less worse than it is in reality.
    20
  119. its not the game, its the player mentality that was fostered by Blizzard game design. even if they changed the design, theyve already created the mentality that will linger.
    19
  120. you see all the blood spray on the floor with the arm being cut off. this is their way of saying "this is what it would have looked like if we didnt have to worry about PS3 support"
    19
  121. Zepla simps are even more vitriolic than asmons chat. you thought asmon has it hard for Yshtola... Zepla Simps are in an entirely different galaxy.
    19
  122. the same thing goes for SF2, some guy even showed side by side comparisons between PvP and PvCPU, and the CPU literally had frames of invincibility that players simply dont have.
    19
  123. I think someone should contact the animation department, femaleAI.exe got stuck in her swagger emote loop.
    19
  124.  @ChinnuWoW  I say just tear off the band aid and be honest. giving non answers just kicks the can down the road but at the end of the day, they will eventually be hit by that humiliation when the reality finally is released. to be real, the non answer probably just makes the whole situation worse in the long run.
    19
  125. Bobby Kotick seems like a guy who would dress up as the Green Goblin and throw pumpkin bombs at superheroes. His hair even sort of resembles Norman Osborne.
    19
  126. I think the people defending or deflecting this are the same as those trying to defend/deflect the Johnny Somali case.
    18
  127. the more interesting things sound, the less likely this is to being true. the whole thing reads like "WoW this is cool.. blizzard would never do it though."
    18
  128. "Spending $15K a Month on Gear - Asmongold Interviews The Biggest Lo..." Me : -ser? "...st Ark Whale" Me : Meh, same thing.
    18
  129. plausible deniability. best way to avoid being called a heretic. or as Sgt Schultz in Hogan Heroes would say " I know nothing , I see nothing "
    18
  130. coke vs pepsi
    18
  131. the high school mentality is just basic human existence, its when things get hard that people tend to rise above the pettiness of humanity in order to survive but once society rests on a comfortable balcony, the 'high school mentality' rises to the surface once again.

  134. yes pull a DC, make a big moment, then retroactively explain over the next few years why it was a big moment. instead of building hype and anticipation for the big moment by seeing all that lead up to it. almost like they never thought of bothering with the why until people started complaining their shit makes no sense, so they pull this out of their ass and pretend it was planned like this all along.

  139. Ah yes, if you knew nothing about Raid Shadow Legends, the advertisements make it seem like the greatest game of all time... and then you play it, realizing its two steps above a clicker game.

  141. time and time again, if you are expecting big success from hardcore-centric MMOs, you are in for a wake up call. they either scramble to fill in the casual void or die a painful death. as loud as that community sounds, they are pretty niche.
    15
  142. whenever I see people who play wow claiming they got banned for giving advice, I ask "Did you give real advice or did you give wow advice?" WoW advice is be as vitriolic and spiteful as humanly possible to degrade someone for making a mistake, usually laced with curse words and other derogatory language.
    15
  143. nice of you to paint people with such a broad brush. Im sure youve met every single mentor in the game to make such an overarching statement.

  146. people dont want classic, people want what they remember to be classic. which is why no changes died very fast. the classic in their heads never existed which is why we have gotten to this point. along with the fact that there is no one definition of "classic", you ask 100 people and you will get 100 definitions of what classic is. Read the comment section, and you will know I dont lie.

    13
  153.  @costabunny  neither is what you say true at all, very few people really feel right in their body as their body changes and develops, only a fraction of them continue feeling that into adulthood. kids will say they want to be Godzilla, should we start injecting kids with dino DNA like this is Jurassic park? This is why you hear jokes about going after the kids, because kids are impressionable and can easily be coerced into things.

  154. Im sure you have lots of experience playing that game. Ill take your word for it.

  155. she isnt posting names and info to protect this would be attacker, its because the attack is fake and if she posted it, it would be blatantly obvious its a fake attack campaign to garner sympathy for her. like that one game dev who posted a negative criticism about themselves but forgot to log out of their dev account. this circumvents that sort of blunder.

  158. this man sounds like a drug addict in rehab, first by deflecting and blaming another game for his utter lack of self control and patience then by pretending his whaling was for the communities sake. so brave, so altruistic. hopefully he moves onto acceptance and gets away from his drug dealer called Lost Ark.

  160. pay to win mechanics are pretty easy to spot, its the pay for convenience mechanics that are truly insidious. all the developer has to do is make things just inconvenient enough to incentivize you to fork over some cash to get over it. also most are far more lenient on their dissatisfaction of PfC mechanics.

  161.  @meilline3616  to quite a few people yes looks are all they care about. which is why cosmetic advancement always comes before gameplay advancement. why do you think people play shit like Madden year after year.

  169. if there is an expectation or standard for women, it is set by other women. most men couldnt give two shits about most of the things women do to themselves in the name of beauty. which is why the running gag of men never noticing if their wife/girlfriend/etc got a haircut exists.

  170. yeah, its not in the past on the fourth of july if you lived near a military base there wasnt a huge party with music, BBQ and military aircraft doing aerial shows.

    12
  172.  @MeldinX2  its because the definition is so varied you cant really take any argument against XIVs enforcement seriously. Some people act like just being slightly mean to people will get you banned when they hear someone else say they were banned for it when in reality the person was probably throwing curse words at people or slipping in racial slurs as they tore into someone. Ive seen that in WoW quite frequently and that behaviour is not tolerated. Ive dressed people down in chat before, and Ive pointed out mistakes people have made, but Im not a massive tool about it. I treat people with common courtesy and like a human being. Thats the main thing about the positivity in XIV. In Final Fantasy, people treat fellow people like humans, in WoW, people are treated like disposable tools for a players personal advancement. This goes a long way in how nice or horrible you treat someone. If anyone says they arent comforable "shittalking" people for fear of being banned, odds are its not friendly ribbing they are talking about but (as an example) calling people filthy n-words and hoping they die of cancer, every time they make a mistake. Again, I have seen someone say that in WoW.
    12
  173. Their investor narrative game is real strong. I suppose thats good, maybe they could pull some of the writers from the investor narrative team and put them on the game narrative team. maybe we can turn this franchise around.

  193. "Like you cant change that game." What are you talking about, Blizzard reinvents the wheel every expansion, the current game is miles different than even what the game was 10 years ago.
    10
  194. you could balance all classes and specs in the game within 0.01% of each other and the current wow mentality will always be "X class is meta, the rest are trash".
    10
  195. the difference between this and FFXIV is, in XIV they give you fun and engaging story to experience, WoW is just unfunny one liners and memes, with zero actual story, which get tiresome very quickly.
    10
  196. and thats just mostly new players coming in to experience the road from level 1, now imagine the queue times once the people who took a break in prep for Endwalker roll on back.

  197. want to find a hardcore racist? find someone who claims to champion the fight against racism. they have the hardest of hardcore racist ideas. they find racism all around them, just not inside themselves. of course they will claim youre the racist for bringing it up.

  198.  @Fusion97K  how does that say "doesnt know how to set up addons"? if you are going to get sprung over someone telling the truth, you are cheating not only the game but cheating yourself out of the experience in general, come up with a better clap back. I mean at least one that makes sense.
    9
  199.  @josejuanandrade4439  whenever someone uses the Mogstation as a comparison, I ask WoW players, look at the cash shop and tell me how many of the things for sale were ever available in game. then I ask FFXIV players, look at the mog station and tell me how many of the things for sale were ever available in game. I will bet dollars to donuts that it will be an overwhelmingly one sided number comparison that wont be in favor of WoW.

  224.  @Asin24  stop bringing logic into this fight for sentiment. they just want to blame filthy casuals for ruining the game, not look at the cause and effect of having four raid tiers within a single expansion ballooning item levels and gear scaling through the wazoo trivializing all content in the process creating the go go go mentality which snapped back like an over extended rubberband come cataclysm because all the baffoons who think WoW was hardcore complained and Blizzard cranked the difficulty up to a 11 causing a backlash which resulted in a kneejerk reaction to nerf everything into the ground which wouldnt have happened if they simply increased the difficulty incrementally over time until it reach a point the majority of the playerbase was comfortable with.

  230.  @MarkoArillius  kind of funny, Ive been playing this game for years, on several different servers across multiple data centers and have never seen that sort of behaviour. Ive even instructed people how to use the blacklist on multiple occasions. Ive booted people from Novice Network, the sprout channel, for harassing new players. Sounds like a made up scenario so you could insult people yourself. Ive seen this quite frequently on WoW though over the 16 years I played since vanilla, the scenario someone makes up in their head to play the victim so they feel like they have precedent to be vitriolic towards other players.

  231.  @I_Crit_My_Pants  no everyone has 20/20 vision, and can find it difficult to judge bright colors on bright colors. Or are you saying a physical disability is merely a skill issue, like color blindness.

  232. I dont call that finished, they did the basic outline and texture mapping, maybe tossed in a few bushes or cacti but its not a finished state. it looks empty and devoid of life. And before some nub comes at me with "thats what deserts are", you've clearly never seen an actual desert, there is life there even in the harshest. there is no life, no wind, no ambiance, its not done. Its like calling a house with only walls and a roof complete.

  233. the drunken slovenly scot or irishman trope is never highlighted because you are white so its ok to poke fun without cries of racism. do the same to anyone else non-white and suddenly everyones grabbing their pitchforks and torches. all or nothing I say, either its ok to mock everyone or no one.

  245. this is why when wow players go to other games that enforce their rules, and come back crying about "toxic positivity" and "cults" when they get punished for acting up. then pretend how they act like in wow is how everyone should act in games.

    7
  248. its an MMO, the reason why WoW stayed on top for so long is simply because it was more accessible. You could run it on a toaster. It doesnt matter how nice a game looks, if it runs like ass, it will fail. They wanted to have XIV on the PS3, those zones would never have run on a PS3. Also 1.0 looked huge but really it was a mass of copy pasta landscapes devoid of life most of the time. If I wanted a walking simulator, 1.0 would be it. if they could have gotten away with having Thanalan be Thanalan instead of half dozen zones, Im sure they would have. Which is why when HW came out, the new zones ballooned in size.

  249.  @MargraveFel  the world looks super generic, I could probably find dozens of examples, including Guild Wars 2 and a level of the Paladins hero shooter.

  252. strange colored hair, check. hair slicked to one side, side shave or impression of side shave, check. making absurd claims deflecting blame onto someone else, check. Man or Woman, it seems Blizzards upper management is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Not surprising in the least.
    7
  253. 1) Ive had far more choppy slideshowing in WoW than I ever have in XIV. 2) It gets better once you get to level 5. maybe you should spend more than the average episode of south park, playing a game before critiquing it. 3) its not different than any other game really. 4) yeah and the body paint WoW calls armor is so much more interesting. before and after they nixed the class sets. 99% of all WoW armor does the exact same thing, with maybe an interesting trinket proc, XIV doesnt have trinkets, if they had, maybe. 5) "Man, this is so cutesy and cartoony man, I need my edgy wow" *goes back to playing World of Disney/Pixar starring Po the Kung Fu Panda* 6) You mean, people like you? 7) what hair?
    7
  254. people desperately trying to defend the black hole of an endgame that is Diablo 4... its that "not the true endgame" nonsense to deflect legitimate criticism that its currently a shit show. even less than even Diablo 2 & 3.

  258. I laugh, the people who hate leveling got the leveling neutered into oblivion so they could get to max level ASAP so they can raid log more easily. I told people this was a bad idea, and lo & behold, the next step. No one actually wants to play anymore, they just want the prestige of playing without all that effort of actually playing the game and its not the casuals that lead to this but the min maxers, sweats and no lifers. First they removed the world from warcraft, now they removed the craft.

  260. just when you thought they couldnt get any less creative than they did with Demon Hunters, they bring out Dragon Evokers... that dont even look like Dragons, they look like DragQueens.
    7
  261. the power of friendship storyline isnt a bad one, if properly executed, but its easiest to see through when its done badly. You cant have a power of friendship with a group of people where you question if they are actually friends to begin with. Like they need to have spent more than 5 mins in the same room in the last 10 years. First you need to convince the viewer/player these people are really friends because you can pull the power of friendship card. Sadly Blizzard will never spend the time required to establish this.
    7
  262. Before I watch the video, a public service announcement : "Never trust a man who is self proclaimed Peon." Though judging from this particular peons tastes, I envision a positively glowing review of Lost Ark, hand waving and glossing over every single negative aspect of the game thus far. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
    7
  263. I have all female characters with female names on XIV, I dont get harassed, violated or attacked or have every move I make every step I take having someone watching me. I actively help people, do dungeons/trials with random sprouts and answer any question I know the answer to. makes me wonder what you are actually doing since I do the exact same things other people purport to do and get none of the treatment they claim to get. I got that shit in WoW though, I had people give me presents all the time and flirt with me. Even had two low level tauren follow me all over the tauren starter zone while I was helping my uncle level his new druid on my server. had them whispering me and asking me to be their girlfriend. really weird but then again WoW has the Cosby Suite, so thats par for the course.

  273. to make it easier for people to justify forking over ridiculous money for the "expansion" packs. which is why alot of games go free to play, because players can more easily talk themselves into buy overpriced DLC, which end up costing far more than the box price for base games, netting the company more profit in the end.

  276. Blizzard is never going to make this mythical "Classic+", 1) it would take too much time and money to develop brand new content for two entirely different versions of the game, the best you get is what you get now, recycled reheated content with a new name. 2) no one agrees on what "Classic+" really is, the same way no one can agree on anything, from what casual means to even what regular classic means. Ask 100 people and you will probably get 100 different definitions.

  277. He did a shitty thing, lets dig into his past, oh he is on the right... that must be why he is a shit bag. Is pretty much their logic, only right wing people are shit bags, its not that a shit bag is right wing, its right wing = shit bag. as if left wing people cant be shit bags because they are on the right side of history. its all pathetic, a shit bag cant be a shit bag unless their political affiliation tells them to be a shit bag. the guy seems like a shit bag, the fact he is right wing is inconsequential.

  280. we all know the "bandits" were the dwarves and their role was shifted to the side to be added later when the CGI dwarves showed up. which is why it feels like theres large chunks of their screen time gone. its to remove all references of them being the seven magical DEI hires.

  281. the thing is, the time commitment isnt game enforced, its player created.

  282.  @AkyXf  Well I have 15 years experience in WoW and 8 years experience in XIV. quite a few WoW raid fights dont compare to this fight. especially the level of punishment for screw ups. Warcraft has nowhere near the level of dance fights that XIV has. as for "not knowing jack shit", normal mode with some heroic kills pre-mythic, and heroic mode with some mythic kills post-mythic, in Warcraft. I bailed after the debacle that is BFA. I could see many wow raiders seething at the level of movement required, as opposed to the 'find a good place and turret' for most of the fights in WoW. not sure they would ever want WoW to fully emulate XIV. Signed, Former WoW Resto Shaman. Lok'tar.
    6
  283. XIV is essentially a giant homage to all previous FF games, they have little bits from all of them with a XIV twist. the gold saucer from 7, the triple triad game from 8, they have raid boss tiers where you fight bosses from 5 & 6

  291. wows story was always boring, from day one. it was hyper generic fantasy, the lore was good, but the storytelling wasnt. Lore and Story are not the same thing. You might have tasty carrots and potatoes but if you dont know how to cook, they will never become a stew.

  292. Warcraft never had grit.
    6
  293. no one is really hyped for D4, and only masochists are hyped for POE.
    6
  294. thats always the problem, too many stories in books and not in the actual game, so people get used to just skipping the quest text, collecting 10 bear asses and pretending the game had no story.
    6
  295. Lore was mediocre, combat was mid and mandatory grouping is for people who have zero personality and openly repel humans from interacting with them. Mandatory grouping is the "tie a porkchop around your neck so the dog will play with you" of MMOs.

  296.  @raykin9708  the point is, a compelling story invokes an emotional response. thats the hallmark of a good story teller. Im sorry your heart is so hard that you cant get emotionally invested in a story and write it all off as silly video game stuff because you are afraid to not look "grown up".
    5
  297. if it takes you 400h to get through the story, thats more of a you issue than a game issue. probably should take that money and invest in some reading courses to increase the speed of your reading, and maybe a class on meditation, it can help with your issue with impatience.

  303. I wouldnt say "no evidence", before he played, he practically defecated all over XIV every chance he got. Both him and the mopes in his stream chat. You cant pretend he isnt at fault for the general perception of him as a person when he molded a negative persona over the course of years.

  305. the thing about OW1 Loot Boxes is that they freely gave you free boxes every event that came around. I could literally log in during a holiday and have like 8 loot boxes handed to me, and get top tier cosmetic or two from them. Didnt have to spend a single penny. Plus you earned boxes from just playing as well. I doubt you will be able to say the same about OW2 Loot Boxes. The sheer gall and audacity they have from the current monetization model, I doubt you will be able to even sniff a Loot Box without forking over mountains of cash.

  307. they replaced the higher ups, swapped around the teams a little but it was Yoshi P that created a system that the game was sorely lacking... a system of communication between all the design teams. everything was discussed, and gone over two and three times before being finalized.
    5
  308. thats what has been happening the past few years, they keep making worse and worse expansions. the previously bad expansion looks better by comparison. though people scoff and make jokes "in a few years people will say shadowlands was good" but fail to realize if that happens, its only because the bar has been lowered further by 10.0, not because Shadowlands wasnt complete shite. hindsight is always 20/20.

  311. I am educated in weather and climate, I understand the science. you cant fearmonger me with big obtuse concepts like climate change, because I know climate change exists but its not the scary boogie man you try to make it out to be. climate change is real but its part of the natural process of the world. there is a reason why these sorts of snake oil salesmen shift the wording when people wise up to the grift. you have ozone layer, you have global warming, and now you have climate change. you can rebrand the fearmongering but its all the same in the end. they are trying to scare people into siding with them so they can slip insidious agendas into innocuous bills. like the green act style legislation has a lot of social justice portions like DEI and affirmative action... things that have nothing to do with climate. In the end, climate change is a smoke screen for their real agenda.

  314. Dungeons have been formulaic since Burning Crusade, when they all became corridors, and not sprawling labyrinths. Just because Cata required CC doesnt make them 'strategic' it just became "need mage for sheep". Even if they hadnt nerfed the dungeons, they would have eventually de-evolved into button mashing because the gear would have outpaced the difficulty. As much as people whined about Wrath, the dungeons didnt start as face roll but when 251 geared players ran into dungeons that dropped 180 gear, it was a natural conclusion that any and all difficulty that may have been there, evaporated.

  331. XIV is story first, nowhere have I seen someone claim thats all there is to the game. People mention the raids and dungeons as well. Hell Zepla made a point to mention ultimates quite a few times on their little podcast. Though you cant really measure the two raiding scenes the same. As a heroic raider from WoW, it can take a little getting used to with the dancing between mechanics and memorizing the routine. While in WoW, I could literally plant myself and turret heal on my resto shaman in most fights.

  366. it didnt directly damage the game but it was clear the drop rates were as they were so you would sell gear on the RMAH, making the gear more valuable for sale rather as drops in the game. which tanked the games reputation with players. as soon as the RMAH was cut, they re-adjusted the loot which is telling.

  383. gearscore was broken for a reason, it wasnt based on logical progression, it was based on how valuable the person making Gearscore though the gear was. they rated gear from raids higher than gear from vendors. so two players with identical item levels would have wildly different gearscores. plus the fact they made the salty choice of reducing gearscore if you had the sparklepony in your mount tab. just a bunch of salty raiders trying to keep 'undesirables' out of raids and dungeons. item level was the better solution because if you have 251 item level, you clearly have been doing ICC, so why would anyone deny you entry into a 10m group based on that? We all know that most wow players are terrible at the game and stack the deck in their favor because they have a fear of failure. They self nerf content for the prestige, then have the audacity to preen around like they know what theyre doing. And these are the morons who use Gearscore as a metric.

I hope to the gods you dont plan on ever being a game developer, your shit would fail.
    4
  395. yes shorten the game more and completely ruin the flow of the narrative and kill the world building. chisel away at that foundation so the entire house collapses. how do I know this? I watch new players who have no experience and hear things like "the pacing here feels off, like Im missing something". instead of making new experiences better, you are essentially going to ruin them even more. people need to get off this ARR is Slog train, and stop tainting the new players to the game.

  396. you have classic+, its called every single expansion. just because you dont like the expansions doesnt change this fact.

  397. the issue with naysayers about XIV is they listen to people who havent done ARR since it launched, shit all over the experience. ARR has been trimmed about three different times, and the current incarnation is after the most recent trim in 5.3. honestly people wont be satisfied until they just remove the story altogether. hopefully SE stops listening to them and leaves ARR as it is. I cant stop people from coloring new players perception by saying its a slog, sadly enough.

  407.  @LordlyWeeb  of course, ARR in 2021 is actually really good. I played it when it was launched and leveled up alts every single time they updated it. the current iteration is by far the quickest and best version of it. though in some places they could actually add back a couple quests to improve the pacing. they cut too close to the quick around the lv 45 range. anyone complaining about it has either never played XIV or havent played ARR since its original incarnation.

  414.  @Stigvind  where did I say hard, its more aggravating than anything else. I hate when people put words in my mouth. just because something isnt mechanically difficult doesnt mean its a joke. especially in Kugane where a single mistake or missed jump wipes away 30 min of progress.
    3
  415.  @garvanch9684  the only one that is comparative is the statue jump in Golden Saucer. Its a straight vertical climb, the higher you go, the less forgiving it is when it comes to errors. the ramps and ledges become smaller and smaller. Can make it all the way to almost the top and make a mistake that can send you careening all the way to the ground. The Golden Saucer doesnt compare since there are more forgiving jumps on all the jumping puzzles, mainly because they are timed and the Kugane Tower isnt.

  425. theyve jacked up the laws so badly, a home invasion can result in an injury lawsuit... against the home owner. so its not surprising when it comes to country invasions the invaders will be treated like poor victims of an unjust system. of course if you ignore all the legal citizens and legal immigration.

  433. I find it funny that they show the wall full of armor and trophies, literally what they promised with garrisons, and people think this is how it will actually end up like. I think everyone should temper their expectations, this is not going to be XIV style or even Rift style or Elder Scrolls style housing, Im expecting minorly improved garrisons. Everything will have a deterministic location, you just choose which of the 5 or so options is placed. Just like the intro to the new expansion when you "decorate" your faction area. and people who hate or dont want player housing will use it as ammunition for the next 10 years when it fails, just like they did with garrisons. which honestly, I feel is the point. they give you a failed version of what you want so they never have to bother with it again.

  434. I dont know, these guys are all some sort of lead, if they are fed up, they are fed up with the players not consuming product and being hyped for next product.

  435. if you were to listen to people, it was like FF never evolved past the original NES game. While they stuck to the basic turn based system, they did alot to evolve that system to get all they could get out of it. there are even FF tactical games so its not the first time they have moved out of their comfort zone to try a different genre. its just the first time they did it with a mainline title and not a spin off series.

  456. I love the "half the country" comment because last I saw, it really wasnt that close of a race. The way you hear them talk it was going to boil down to a 49.9/50.1 split. It was a bit more than half the country voting red this time. XD

  457. he dismembers the department of indoctrination?

  459. classic ends where ever Blizzard decides it ends.
    3
  460. because theres nothing positive to say about them. even when they do something good, they end up doing three trash things to completely over shadow it. half the time the latest trash thing is simply a smoke screen to cover up a previously worse trash thing. like with this mount, before it was dropped people were all atwitter about how the latest patch completely shat the bed and came out a bug riddled mess with slop content. then the mount drops... no one is really talking about the travesty that is patch 11.05, they are all on the mount.

  461. sad thing is that is going to embolden those who are against it and use that as ammo to attack it, like they constantly use garrison as ammo against player housing.

  466. yeah when you saw someone with paragon 100 in vanilla D3, you knew one thing... they spent a lot of money on that player run auction house over gearing everything to 'earn' that 100. I never made it to 100, I was too busy farming gear to sell to all those aspiring paragon 100s for real hard cash.

  475. Theres a difference between characters having feelings and turning every cutscene into a therapy session where characters monologue at each other. Which is why when people try to deflect DFs terrible story and characters by trying to insinuate another game that shall not be named is what they are trying to copy... I have to say that game has more war than warcraft. There was even entire dungeon that essentially simulates WW1 style trench warfare with fire explosions and dead bodies all over. If only WoW decided to copy that as well, people probably would have taken the therapy sessions in stride.

  477. as for master loot, I find it worse, I hate the game and the players since they are in collusion to fuck me over. at least with personally loot I can just hate the rng, rather than allowing assholes to ninja loot shit to their hearts content. so you are wrong there my friend in claiming master loot is better. Master loot : I hate you and the game. Personal loot : I just hate the game.

  497. classic wow is just as trash as retail. this game never felt like a rpg. there was no journey, it was all just long tedious grinds that people like you misrepresented as difficult or satisfying. at the end of the day it was always a 3D clicker game.
    3
  498. I find most of these videos never go after the actual issues, just what they dont like. The perfect example is his issue with "cut scenes", he clearly doesnt like them so he scapegoats them as a power point of whats wrong. Lots of older games had cut scenes, maybe not in the exactly in the way modern games have in scope but they had them. I remember playing Pacman, after a number of stages you would get interludes, with the sprites moving around performatively. Maybe they werent re-enacting Lord of the Rings but its a scene of pacman sprites taking a moment to entertain you that doesnt require gameplay, a literal cut scene.

  504. thats the thing that people in wow have been warped into believing, you need a participation trophy and a goodie bag for everything you do. you cant just progress on something for a possible future reward, you have to be rewarded at every turn.
    3
  505. the difference is, any toxicity XIV has is usually limited to the spaces where it can fester, in raids and high end content. if that toxicity threatens to bleed into the rest of the game, its usually nipped in the bud. meanwhile wows toxicity has infested every corner of the game, from top end mythic raiding to casual low end Lv 15 dungeon runs, its spread and infected it down to the games very core. I mean one can be competitive without being a complete jerk about it, though competition brings out the worst in overall bad people, and that level of vitriol is allowed to grow because Blizzard allows it to.
    3
  506. you can... its called the "it was all a dream" scenario. It doesnt need to be an actual dream but simply a figment of a single persons imagination. you could have an episode 10 start with Luke meditating and have him state the last three movies were simply a force induced delusion or a prophecy of what would happen if he tried to kill his nephew. bam episodes 7-9 are now just made up shit in lukes head. a parallel universe existing in only Lukes memory. it never happened.

I view writing and story like a house, the lore is the foundation, and the same with a house, once the foundation cracks you are having huge problems with the house in the future.

    3
  516. the problem is, the devs for Wildstar were delusional and made the game into what people think vanilla wow was all about, then stubbornly held their course as the game died around them and only course corrected too late when the finally saw the writing on the wall. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and the game went the way of the dodo.

  519. people blame only the companies but its also the government, printing money to bail out failed companies and banks, with no backing, which inflates the dollar making it worth less on the whole. back when your parents were working and supporting you, you could say the dollar wasnt worth a dollar but its worth less than half that when you are the one doing the supporting. which is why when something that should cost a dollar, now costs almost four, because the worth of the american dollar is 1/4 of what it used to be.

  520. its The Legions fault... until Shadowlands when you realize its really The Jailers fault... playing his 5D chess with the cosmos, his plan so intricate even the WoW writers cant figure it out.

  521. the issue with wildstar was the developers were under the misconception that making a hardcore version of wow would attract the same amount of people as wows peak but were quickly proven false but they held their ground far too long to the detriment of the games lifespan. too little too late and the servers were shut off.

  534. because people fail to understand the simple concept of "time flies when you are having fun", which is why WoWs leveling is borked, rather than making it fun, they just make it shorter which doesnt fix the inherent flaw of not being fun.
    3
  535. most men figured this out well before then.

  542. people try to justify horrible game design by using poor analogies like "Oh so you want to remove the world in world of warcraft" or "Oh so you want world of peacecraft", because there is ways to have engaging open world content that doesnt involve grinding materials. you can have meaningful pvp without puffing up out of date concepts like 'factions'. other games have done it, why cant WoW.

  559. its like watching a train wreck as it happens in slow motion, you are mesmerized by the carnage and it leaves you wondering how it got to this point. I quit wow 3 years ago, but I still check up on it, wondering if the bar for quality has been lowered even further or has Blizzard finally got their shit together. Amusingly, no, they are crack addicts who wont kick the habit and got busted yet again for possession by a poorly disguised undercover cop.

  560. Sylvanas went from being 2D to 1D. the fact is she was never a well written character, she was passable. just because they write Jaina like crap or players misunderstand basic human emotions, doesnt make Sylvanas a well written character.

  561. people say XIV looks cartoonish when WoW looks like a Disney/Pixar movie.

  562. the majority of people shitting on ARR havent played ARR since it launched, they have gutted ARR at least three times since then. there is so much missing from the experience its like comparing Vanilla WoW with Cata WoW in terms of the early game. All the while people havent played the early levels since vanilla continue to shit on the early game experience telling people its a slog when new players come in during cata.

  567. I look at it like this, they dont care about modding on the downlow but when its on a huge public forum thats when they take issue with it. A nude chun li on a massive tournament stage is bad, some rando playing with a nude chun li in the privacy of their own home is not.

  570.  @Dudewithhat9531  horde v alliance hasnt been the story since vanilla. its always about some petty bullshit happens, then big bad shows up and we all fight to save the planet. anyone who believes otherwise is a complete moron. the faction war hasnt been a serious thing in over a decade, regardless of how much you want to shout "for the horde" at blizzcon. XIV just goes "that was dumb from the outset... lets not bother with stupid pretense" and they have "wargames" for the pvp side of things. Warcraft could easily do the same thing, but too many people have their brains stuck on the first RtS game.

  579. they have always had issues with ability visibility when it comes to raid mechanics, there are no defined boundaries, its usually either guesswork or you just stay out in tumbuktoo in order to not get clipped by ground aoes. its funny that they try to make it seem like its recent issue and not one thats plagued the game for years.
    2
  580. Palworld is another flash in the pan, it came, it got streamed and it will eventually fall into obscurity like all the multitudes of games. Will it have staying power and be talked about as a classic in 5 years? 10 years? 25 years? No, its a gimmick game that had its 15 minutes of fame and maybe will get references like the hawk tuey girl as a quaint little reminder of stupider times.

  581. the opposite love isnt hate, its apathy, because even if you hate something, it still creates an emotional response while apathy just disconnects you from it entirely.

  582. now everyone will run to stonetalon mountaints to prove this video wrong.
    2
  583. they are both right in their own way. Quazii knows, the average wow player doing give two shits about anything but the three wow pillars. its not healthy for the game for sure but he is looking at it from the current playerbases viewpoint.
    2
  584. everything needs to have mounts apparently, even walking simulators.
    2
  585. They may not have stated it that the games events were actual history but sometimes actions speak louder than words. We know the movie "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" was pure fiction but the writer of the movie didnt call people bigots for pointing that out nor did they try to edit Lincoln's wiki page to add "Vampire Hunter" under his list of occupations.

  586. typical blizzard move, when things get too hot, throw in some stupid thing to distract the monkeys. if its not assigning ages to characters, its turning one of them LGBTQWTFZOMGBBQSAUCE+-* as a smoke screen and The Service Formerly Known as Twitter brownie points.

  591. Imagine the world without video game outlets... so you mean the world before the internet existed, and most people just relied on word of mouth reviews from their friends, then going to the local video store to rent a copy to try out. if it was good, Id just beg for it from my mom, and maybe get a copy for christmas or my birthday.
    2
  592.  @Aethelhald  sounds suspect, I play every day and I avoid major areas simply because theres too many talking. its hard to keep up. I have one character on every logical data center. The JP being the only difference mainly because JP culture seems to have a taboo about public speaking, so they whisper/tell each other to hold conversations. are you sure youre not just another salty wow andy whining because XIV is slowly dethroning WoW.

  593. there were people who tried to make a classic XIV 1.0 server, not sure how well it went.

  600. sadly voting with your wallet only works on a macro level, not a micro level, you need enough people to do it for it to stick or it becomes as ephemeral as a fart in the wind.
    2
  601. of course, money is never a bar to entry, either through an upfront cost or sub fee, if you want to play a game you will play the game. which is why I always laugh at people crying about 15 dollars a month. also Accolonn, hell darkness my old friend, will you spend half a video crying about a comment I made, again. XD

  603. Ive yet to see an actual survival mmo, more are just multiplayer survival games with small maps and small numbers of people. they use MMO like a buzz word but dont know what it means.

  604.  @twentylush  a good prologue can be played multiple times. just goes to show how trash their storytelling is if you are sick of it after a single play through.
    2
  605. ascension is trash.
    2
  606. the game has always been a "players are not people, they are a means to an end" from the very beginning. its just that there was more forced interactions that made people role play as friends to get things done. if you think this game was ever social, you are in for a rude awakening, you were probably used as a tool since the very beginning and didnt even know it.
    2
  607. dont kid yourself, we all know the point they are trying to prove is XIV is inferior to WoW. thats the only reason for this entire exercise. these mofos are world first raiders and are wow try hards. they hear people saying "XIV has better raiding" or "XIV has harder raiding" and they are coming up in here to "show these weebs how its done". Its not for fun, its to stroke their ego and knock those uppity "weebs" down a peg.

  614. no this is the ending for the first half of the raid, the finale is to come. stop jerking off to your hatred of "lfr heroes" and your (probably undeserved) self righteous ego.

  615. the problem in gaming is they let all the bean counters and marketers be in charge of making decisions... not the creatives. so they only focus on marketing and making money, rather than fun and interesting gaming experiences.

  617. thats how it goes, you have people say they play for the difficulty, but its really just a bunch of prestige hounds. the more blizzard fed into their ego, the more the game has suffered for it.

  618. graphics are stylized, but at least they got better with the wild body emoting and weird facial expressions that remind me of the hildebrand questline.

  622. video game whaling is like those people who win the lottery who are poor and waste it all on stupid purchases of things they want, but when they inevitably eat through all the money they go woe is me, winning the lottery ruined my life. when in reality it was their poor decision making skills and lack of self control that doomed them in the end.

  630.  @mataasen2534  free healthcare is a pipe dream, nothing is free, its just they ignore mentioning who is paying for it. also government health care is they choose the cheapest and least qualified people to treat you, and theres a huge waiting list, so you can either die waiting or do what the canadians do, and come to the "evil united states" to get treated.

  633. Wyvern and Shirley
    2
  634. what you dont get is that its not about content invalidation, its about their person self worth invalidation. it always has been. they want to feel like they matter and in order to matter they have to have access to things the unwashed filthy casuals dont. so by allowing the unwashed filthy casuals to get similar to the level of power as them, invalidates them as their betters. thats literally the only reason, and wow has more sweat lords is because this style of game content has driven the rest of players away.
    2
  635. thats the follow up videos title. and Josh will tell us how thats a terrible way to design games, and it should brilliant from the get go and having to wait that long sitting there playing a 95 game when it should be 100 out of the gate.
    2
  636. it is nostalgia, the zones really didnt go anywhere you can do all that content all you like, though we all know why you dont because theres no sweet loot attached to it. which is why all that was gotten rid of. the only people who are to blame are all the vanilla heads who like to wax poetically about days gone by but would never actually want to revisit it. you can cry and stamp your feet but in the end, you got the game you truly want and deserve.
    2
  637. if you are pressing a button every 2.5 seconds, odds are you are playing the job wrong. some dont get many filler skills but the whole point is to weave skills and abilities on and off the GCD as actively as you can. Ive played every job to Lv 80 and some do have a bit of a dry patch in the beginning like LNC/DRG because of the acquisition speed of new skills but there is a point where you should always have something to actively press, and if you are not, its not the games fault you are playing it incorrectly.
    2
  638. FFXIV you dont start out as a chosen one, you are literally just some schmuck who showed up on a cart or a ship as a tourist. the first 20 levels is you doing normal mundane chores. then at lv 20 you slowly build up a reputation, then at lv 50 they start comparing you to the legendary heroes. you spend an expansion being that sort of legendary hero allegory, then the game kicks you in the nuts because you are no longer the baddest mofo on the block. then following expansion you are shown your powers are not exactly that special because they are given to a bunch of nameless NPCs by the current big bad and told that you are essentially a minion. WoW you start out as a grunt, then eventually become The Champion, you never really stop being the champion and have all your kills stolen by more important named NPCs. The new game experience doesnt even explain why you are the champion. You start out as a recruit then 10 character levels later you are "The Champion", no explanation no build up, you are just The Champion now and forever after.

    2
  652.  @Frost2599  they have no official DPS meter, you get banned for announcing to the world you use ACT which is against the TOS. its in a grey, dont ask dont tell space. you can use it, as long as you dont telegraph it by being a dick to other people. that gets you banned. Ive seen lots of people being dicks to others in game and they dont get banned but it will probably get you removed from group before the 'low dps' person.
    2
  653. its not the best version, that would be MoP. this is just nostalgia baiting.
    2
  654. Gearscore or The Elitist Gear addon. where the badge gear had a lower score than the raid drop of the same item level and you lost gear score because the guy making it had a wild hair up his ass with a hate boner for sparkle ponies.

  655. I assumed that delves will either become Mythic+ 2.0 or Torghast 2.0

  659. the timewalking bug, people got boosted XP, so blizzard took it away. then people complained, so they gave it back temporarily in a nerfed state like they were giving the community a gift. Welcome to Blizzard 2021.
    2
  660. I still expect Delves to de-evolve into more sweaty mythic+ level bs that requires a full 5 man team to get any of the really good rewards, because this is Blizzard, of course it will. I have zero faith in their ability to not hamstring content into that competitive nonsense. of course Im sure there are people who would welcome shafting the more casual and/or solo player (again) because they think they are undeserving of a satisfying experience.

  664. they wont stop this until the DEI kickbacks dry up and I doubt that will be anytime soon. they will simply go underground, rebrand and comeback like Palpatine, as if nothing happened.

  668. "The game is like really hard." No, the game is like really trash and only hardest of the hardcore fanboys and andys are still playing. defending blizzards every move.

  669. classic+, what they mean is some alternate universe they can cry for but will abandon for retail once it gets boring or goes in a direction they dont like.
    2
  670. what you are saying is classic andies have always existed, trapped in their own little bubble of nostalgia.
    2
  671. at least they can stop pretending they are not facilitating soft core porn
    2
  672. Lynx would fit in perfectly into WoW and is also the reason why that game is a heaping dumpster fire of a game. He is pissed the game doesnt solely cater to him and instead wants to make sure everyone he deems to be unworthy unwashed casuals get things to do. Same goes for Xenos, the poster child of the detached mentally unhinged rage raider, who spends hours crying that some random WHM didnt bene his DRK. "Where the 'eals" XIV-edition.

  673. no one actually knows what a lolicon is, they know what the urban dictionary tells them and no one ever investigates further then just regurgitates it across the internet. then again thats par for the course for the internet, google it, read first article/page then spread the word of the gospel.

    2
  676. I always find it funny, the people who would say a sub fee is too much will be nine times out of ten will also be the one dropping 200 bucks on cash shop items monthly for a free to play pay to win shovelware title.
    2
  677. it will eventually infect all aspects of wow and all versions just give it time. wow players on the whole dont want to have to put forth effort for their shinies anymore when they can just buy them wholesale.
    2
  678. people who claim furries came later, forget that Tauren are furries. they are humanoid animals, just like pandaren, and vulpera.
    2
  679. I think you are misunderstanding the sentiment. when people think of famous or rich people they are expecting gold plated toilets and the guys boxers costing more than you make in a year. living in a house that costs $1m is hell of a lot cheaper than some other rich people who buy houses that cost $100m. its all about perspective.

  685. the mists we are getting isnt a classic, its a remix. they will still get to mop classic and give us a different remix.

  686. Release a new wow expansion after hyping up the new open world and instanced PvE content only to tell you months later the PvE has been scrapped. "But you can still play arenas and battleground, thats great, right?"
    2
  687. the funny thing is, no lore was crammed, its just random nonsense, one liners and memes, nothing story related happens on that starter island.
    2
  688. trying to get rid of the very thing they have been fostering for the last 20 years through their game design. I laughed out lout literally when they said that.

  689.  @bartofii  as soon as BC dropped, Warcraft was no longer the RTS. people need to get over it and stop acting like this is some recent change.
    2
  690. welcome to vanilla.
    2
  691. you will never have a dungeon that is simple to understand while being engaging. not only do the developers not understand this paradigm but the average wow player wont either. theyve turned WoW into a glorified clicker game with flashy 3D graphics. dont even have to move, just stand there and turret for the majority of the content while you flip through some game app on your phone.
    2
  692. I find it hilarious, they whine about cata classic and demand real classic. meanwhilte, classic era is hanging by a thread with a multitude of low pop servers. its almost like the vocal playerbase is full of shit, like they always are. even their golden child of hardcore, with only two servers, both low pop.
    2
  693. How many once great creators have either succumb to the woke brain virus or been destroyed by it, too many my friends. Metzen wasnt the first and he wont be the last. You can see it in his eyes, man wasnt to be created something beautiful and long lasting while being hamstringed by the writers. He might not be a great writer but he has ideas and passion, just needs a good co pilot to bring them to fruition. Sadly, that will never happen at modern day Blizzard. He was just dusted off to assuage the playerbase and investors.
    2
  694. anyone saying DEI is dead, its not dead, its being rebranded and going underground. this is only the first stage to get their foot in the door, and infect the companies enough to not need a DEI department but to become part of the company DNA. its like a goa'uld, the snake got in the mouth and is now hiding as it slithers itself around the brain stem to take over its host.

  695. "Dont drop the soap" "Dont worry, I have a dog fanny pack to protect me."

  696. why do people do the twirly snipe? all you are doing is extending the mobs snapback leash. its a good tactic if you need to draw a specific mob away from a pack and keep them with you while its friends de-aggro and snap back. If you are going to run, just run, the twirly snipe is just going to increase the chances of you dying.

  700. coke tried this same shit, they changed the formula, branded it New Coke and it failed to spectacularly, they immediately brought back the old recipe branding it "Coca-cola Classic", which is what we drink to this day. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
    2
  701. I find it hilarious how much people overestimate the length of time it takes to play this game. you could no life it playing all day from sun up to sun down, and be done with Shadowbringers in about a week or so. I spent a month half assing it and got an alt character to 5.4
    2
  702. talk about revisionist history... dark and gothic roots. there was nothing dark about diablo, diablo 2, diablo 3 or even 4, it was the haunted mansion ride from disneyland with loot drops. which is why I laughed heartily whenever people complained about diablo 3 not being "dark enough".

  705. vilifying Oda Nobunaga... yikes.
    2
  706. you must have played a different cata because the story has never been about you, i mean you dont even kill the last boss canonically nor do you appear in any of the cutscenes. they may call you champion but you are just another faceless grunt according to the story you claim is "tailored to you".
    2
  707. the thing is, I dont really consider most MMOs to be anywhere near what MMOs were originally created to be. just like with RPGs, which were essentially created to be digital D&D campaigns, one where a DM wasnt required, nor a group of other people. An alternative to group play, while the beginning of MMOs was to bring the small group feel back to it. these days MMO just means murder hobo simulator in hub game.
    2
  708. I love the dis-ingeniousness of 4:15, you went to the most populated server and try to play off like every server is like that. Im sure it looked like that before hardcore came out, the entire EU classic population is on firemaw. go to a medium pop server and show us SW, Im sure its not even a quarter as populated. its like going to the WNBA finals and saying "See, look out popular the WNBA is" when the average WNBA game has a fraction of the people in the stands.
    2
  709. when you have to sign a yes man agreement... games bound to be shit.
    2
  710. all these videos are a race to the word "Casual" and its negative connotation, either overt or insinuated. this is like the "debate" between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row 4.
    2
  711. as for the story at like 33:00, I dont deny racism happens, it just doesnt happen to the frequency that some people like to assert. same goes for real life.
    2
  712. "its just like blizzard to take agency from a woman". fuckin simp, no character in warcraft, man or woman, has agency. "corruption/manipulation" is Blizzards go to excuse for why shit hits the fan, no one makes decisions of their own accord, its always some evil bad guy in the shadows pulling peoples strings, from old gods to void lords to dreadlords.

  716. you cant spell Loser without L O S.
    2
  717. guess I will simply resign myself to just not buying the game, the time for criticism is over, its already received heaps as it is.
    2
  718. so if one server crashes, the entire game goes down everywhere.
    2
  719. I watch the cutscenes... I dont need outside entertainment. maybe the problem lies with you and not the game.

  725. Early Access, you are buying into what the game could be not into what it currently is. The possibility not the reality.

  727. the thing is, everyone is quite open about Elon giving input on decisions, even Elon himself. meanwhile, anything Soros has input on is very hush hush, we know he talks to them but no one admits it. One is fine, the other is extremely shady.

  728. thats the whole point, there was one guy who could one shot the goobue but he was too busy trying to land some poon to notice, which haunted him for years to come. "If I wasnt such a poonhound, this little girl would still have a father." - Random Hyur

  729. everytime he goes wow, it sounds like a female cat in heat meowing for the neighborhood toms.

  730. and these same people defending WoW call XIV a casual easy game. I doubt most of the wow andys could do an Extreme, let alone an Ultimate.

  736. trying to convince people that its all about helping poor countries with things like landmine removal but Im sure the funding to cambodia is fraction of the funding they ship off to countries to fund trans comic books elsewhere.

  737. oh yes the rich get richer, the poorer get poorer mentality of raiding, only the upper echelon of raiders get the good gear thus widening the performance gap. if you dont contribute a percentage to the boss kill you get stricken like 25 points off all your dice rolls. oh didnt do 4% of the kill, and only contributed 3.9%, well fuck you underperforming fucking leech, you didnt deserve that weapon because your 76 is now a 51, and the guy who has gotten all the gear funneled to them wins it.
    2
  738. Meh, 100m+ just means they suckered a 100m people into downloading it, not that they have 100m people actually playing. I have downloaded many a thing that Ive uninstalled within 30 seconds of playing but Im sure they still count my download in the download total.

  739. "the sactum is supposed to look like ICC, because ICC is the sactum in the mortal world. its brilliant." Yeah, they wrote lazy game design into lore. theyre geniuses.

  744. maybe you have it initiate conversations because you ambush and insult him. I wouldnt want to talk to someone who being a complete jerk to me, Id avoid them at all costs. dude is probably in his head "I love you dear but for goodness sake just leave me alone".
    2
  745. Ive complained about these for years, since the days of Emperor Shaohao, I want actual animation in an animated short, not a motion comic that self identifies as an animated short.
    2
  746. the irony is these people like to pretend anime is sexist and homophobic when it has more media that include women and gay/lesbian characters in movies, and tv shows by a wide margin than even these types of people put in western media. they just dont talk down to the audience, and insult them. they are actual characters, well written and relatable, unlike the characters you see in western media who are just one dimensional tokenized purse puppies to get kudos from the ignorant twitterati.

    2
  750. writing a script where every line is some one liner, then realizing that one liners only work in isolation, but going ah what the fuck everyone loves "that one guy" hoping that people will overlook the fact that every guy in the game is "that one guy". kinda like the later marvel movies, people loved Tony Stark because he was unique... now every character is Tony Stark.
    2
  751. 9:59 Ah the Genesis Crawler mount... when will they release the Cubicle Crawler mount?

  752. pay to log in, pay to skip all the content, pay for overpriced mount to sit in the major hub and imagine all the people around you green with envy when in reality they are quietly mocking and ridiculing you for being a stupid whale.
    2
  753. hate to break it to you but we had 100 dollar games in the past, I remember seeing several Sega games back in the late 80s early 90s that were close to or over 100 dollars. mostly they were role playing games. Phantasy Star 4 was roughly $85 but it was a complete package with no DLC or additional fixes.
    2
  754. "Everything is focused on nightmare dungeons, at least with WoW there is variety." yes variety, you can do mythic dungeons, then mythic dungeons and then more mythic dungeons. such variety, much fun.

  755. Oh how the subscriptions... I mean mighty have fallen.

    2
  762. yes you can merc 100 people then donate a few thousand dollars and 500 hail marys at your local church and you gucci. so you removed the hobo gankers but you now have mercantile gankers who have enough money and resources to pay off a corrupt cardinal so they can freely go to heaven even if they are a serial merc'er.

  766. can probably guess its like Shawshank, half these people dont exist except on paper, its a money laundering scheme of massive proportions. this is the main reason they are upset, its going to take a long time to check all those dummy email accounts and copy paste their work reports.
    2
  767. the show being terrible will just make it harder to sell as a profitable product and harder to sell to the audience. they will assume this overpriced fanfiction is the real witcher. no one watching this show at this point are reading books or playing games. as far as they are concerned Netflix Witcher is the real Witcher and theyve noped out from it.
    2
  768. hardcore is a gimmick, just like season of wowhead. once the new car smell wears off people stop logging in.
    2
  769. yes, they are terminating the online mode with the release of Deathstroke the Terminator. Hasta la vista, Suicide Squad. though I have to ask, is it actually going to be deathstroke or some LGBTQZOMGWTFBBQSCZ++++----++---++#@#@! reimagining of Deathstroke... for modern audiences.
    2
  770. cinematics should not be a gauge of a games quality. some of the trashiest games have beautiful cinematics. you probably think graphics are more important than game play. "The game looks pretty, so it must be good."

  780. even if you were playing to find better stuff, odds are it was few and far in between and was probably for a class you werent playing. I liked the RMAH, I made good money finding good shit to sell to people for money.
    2
  781. and I think you are wrong about WoW, you dont even have to play any of the previous expansions, you can literally play BFA and go into Dragonflight. So thats not even a wall. Even if you had to play them all, its not really the issue of progressing through them one by one, its the fact theyve done nothing to change the leveling experience. Honestly, the leveling experience really was never the best, it was interesting the first time through but the questing stories are so disconnected from the expansion story you can never feel invested. theres a reason why no one reads quest text, because its a moot point, so why bother reading it. Unfortunately, rather than improving the questing experience, Blizzard just aborted it all into Chromie Time and only requires you do one expansion before going into current content, leaving 90% of the games lore to whither and die. I think thats the main reason so many people jumped ship to other games, especially XIV where you can experience a cohesive story from Level 1 to whatever the current max is. The players who are left are not even MMO players, they are just disgruntled WoW players who are angry and vitriolic to new players with this "you better perform perfectly and know everything or I will remove you". Sadly, Blizzard cant fix player mindset, so its left on a downward spiral of death by a thousand cuts until theres no one left.

  782. Gearscore : Reforged

  783. theyve bombarded us with 'modern audience' fodder for so long, these people think its been 'ages'. yes they dropped a bunch of failed games with 'diverse' people that went straight to the walmart bargain bin, doesnt mean the landscape changed. it rains once on the plains and people think it suddenly a tropical rain forest.

  784. "a world very much like out own but where everyone is equal, in other words a complete fantasy" BUUUUURRRRRRNNNN XD
    2
  785. people blame the players, call it a casual filter but when the company conditions you to think a certain way and then just does a 180, while failing to inform you how the game functions or tells you how to play the game incorrectly. thats the fault of the developers and its a bad game. Like Blizzard telling shaman to use Primal Strike on beginners island, who the fuck uses primal strike? lightning bolt the bitches down, and throw primal strike in the garbage.
    2
  786. A: "And pay them with pocket change and some rusty gear we found in the trash"
    2
  787. I love that people try to disrespect WoW by calling it My Little Pony when there was more war and conflict in the series 4 of MLP than there has been in the last couple expansions of WoW. Theres more war in pony land than there is on azeroth.
    2
  788.  @kimmogensen4888  having people of muslim origin in a country doesnt make it a muslim country. its when you start enacting laws in accordance with religious doctrine that the country starts to become a muslim country.
    2
  789. its probably because blizzard never feeds you enough of the emotion to leave you fulfilled, then expect you to buy into the emotions to become invested. it all comes off as sappy and shallow. they never earn their emotional moments, they just expect you to be emotionally invested because. like that huge musical swell during the Alex cinematic, that moment wasnt earned or explained, it just happened and Blizzard expected a standing ovation. Blizzards writing is the MMO version of a Oscar bait movie.
    2
  790. I think he is intrinsically wrong about the games being programmed for you to win. The game has a win state of course but each game treats that win state differently and its not the winning that is really the enjoyable part, its figuring out what the win state is and building yourself up to accomplish it. Just take any RPG, the monsters and bosses have set values in terms of health, damage and mechanics. Their sword swings, usually, will take only a set number of health. So at Level 1, you have no chance of surviving the hit, your health is clearly not enough to survive a single swing, but at Level 30 you can successfully take several of these hits without dying, thus increasing your ability to achieve the win state set by the developer. Some games even have mechanics, like Dodge rolls, that mastery of them are required to successfully achieve the win state. The bosses dont just fall over for you, you have to actively seek out and deduce what the win state requires. This is what makes mastery and overcoming the game most satisfying.

  802. believe half of what you see, none of what you hear.
    2
  803. yes Warmode, such a great thing. you couldnt interact with people who are flagged, in the past it would autoflag you if you damaged or healed someone who was flagged but since the addition of warmode, you are just fucked when it comes to playing if someone happens to be flagged for warmode and youre not. Im pretty sure this hasnt changed since I last played wow.

  804. not sure when this was recorded, he may have gotten in right before the reset and then got the previous with the next days draws.
    2
  805. my man came in here and posited that vanilla wow was hard. a game laden with RNG combat that forced you to miss over half your attacks because some arbitrary hit rating stat said so. all the while the enemy clearly has no such limitations and hits you with the majority of its attacks. I dont call that hard, I call that cheap. I just played smarter not harder by becoming an alchemist so I could just pop a potion to counter some of the bad RNG. along with the motto "DBD" aka dont be dumb and pull things without judging your surroundings.

  809. Diablo was never a very good game franchise, decent at best, people let their rose tinted goggles get in the way of the truth. The only saving grace was, like World of Warcraft, a seeming lack of relevant competition.
    2
  810. I think all the thumbs up and "the game is good" is people trying to get around the obvious negativity purge this games player ratings will eventually get. gotta make sure they have that "Mostly Positive" somehow.
    2
  811. here is a tip Ex Blizzard Boss, get a real damn job.
    2
  812. so seasons like Diablo and number tweaks like a Private server. you create a mythic plus system for your vanilla server.

  813. comparing classic wow to Ocarina of Time is a new level of deranged.
    2
  814. white karens dont have to ask for the manager anymore... they are the manager.
    2
  815. yeah the RMAH wasnt bad, but you were essentially forced to use it simply because of how stingy and badly designed the loot drops were, almost as if they wanted you to use it in order to nickel and dime you for their cut of sales.
    2
  816. Classic WoW is depressing, but do you know whats more depressing... people who like Classic WoW. They are the Al Bundys of the gaming world who constantly remind people they scored 6 touchdowns in a single game back in High School because thats where they peaked and have accomplished nothing, virtual, real or otherwise, since.
    2
  817. Season of Gimmickry Part Deux.
    2
  818. "You can play any trash build you like and it aint gonna be that bad..." You make it sound like if the game isnt designed around sweaty tryhards its badly designed.
    2
  819. I love youtube sometimes, Im watching a video about a scam MMO and the first advertisement is for a shitty game Call of Dragons which is essentially a shot for shot remake of the cataclysm trailer with Knock-off Deathwing flying past to destroy the dock in Not-Auberdine cutting to the Discount Deathwing landing on the gate to Psuedo-Stormwind... XD
    2
  820. Hate to break it to people but post PS3, you dont own any of your games. even those nifty little plastic drink coasters you think are games. if companies were truly nefarious they could brick every single game in your library, even the ones in little plastic cases, with the press of a couple buttons.

  822. man trying to conflate literal rocket science to government. one is far harder than the other. if they were the same 99% of the people in government office wouldnt have been hired or even put on the ballot if an "intelligence test" were required. most of you are on the level of the wonderful wizard of oz level charlatans, and DOGE has been looking too hard behind the curtain for quite a few people.
    2
  823.  @nixad4248  we all know the DLC is already made and its probably content they sliced off the main game to make it seem like its something extra.
    2
  824. ive been giving that suggestion for awhile now, just pretend it was all a dream and rewind shit back to a more believable point in the story. I was saying MoP, and wipe WoD-Shadowlands out. it was all a sha-induced hallucination/dream.
    2
  825. I quit playing and havent subbed since the first patch of BFA. I still go to the wow forums to check up on the game and read blue posts. Its like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
    2
  826. Mythic is overtuned so we can have an 'exciting' race then nerfed into oblivion for the rest of the mouth breathers to knock over.
    2
  827. they know the shit is bad, they know players will hate it, but this is their intention. the only reason they are fixing this shit early is because players are jumping ship. after two expansions of this bullshit, even the most die hard player will rethink their sub. its always three steps forward, two steps back. its how they have conditioned the playerbase. they will push in the direction that want, until the envelope gets stretched too thin, then retract things to appease the players long enough to start heading back in the same direction. they just get more aggressive with it in time. Im guessing 10.0 will be a good expansion, not the best but will be enough of an improvement over BFA and Shadowlands. People will flood back and then they will start pushing back in the same direction again, and we will end up in this exact same place by 12.0

  828.  @wing0gund908  "target the youth" can be applied to just about anything because its the easiest course. whether its terrorists, nahzees, politics or religion.
    2
  829.  @kbutta01  no it doesnt, its a cash shop with an optional game attached. which is why they need no sub and can only offer the base game. they make money hand over fist from the whales to support that idea. I see more videos talking about whatever new virtual tat you can get from their lootboxes than their expansions or content.

  837. I love that its called "far-right" so the left can get away with authoritarian actions. its like saying racism requires "power and privilege" so they can try to paint white people as privileged thus the only ones who can be racist.
    2
  838.  @zeeraX89  Ive complained about them since the days of Emperor Shaohao, why bother calling it an "animated short" when there is next to no actual movement. its a motion comic, a comic that has occasional motion not an animated short.

  839. hate to break it to you but DS9 is closer to Discovery than it is to TNG, they just had a tighter leash.

  843. classic+ will never happen or it will be a monkey paw version of what you envision. battle passes and seasonal content with even more fomo bullshit thrown in. season of gimmickry. a real version of "you think you do, but you dont".
    2
  844. people think its solely for asmon but by doing this, they hopefully discourage this and make it better experience for the rest of the community on the server/world. I can imagine the clogging and bottlenecking they tried to pull on Asmon effected other players as well.

  845. Oh great, a video from the great Store Brand Bronzebeard, I remember the day he dedicated almost half a video whining about a comment I made on one of his videos, because it upset him so.

  847. the reason you dont see lawfully good characters is because people are still in this deconstructionist mindset created by The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen. the problem is when you deconstruct you need to start putting things back together and reconstruct or you risk ending up with a bunch of useless pieces.
    2
  848. you hear people go on epic speeches to defend them whaling, knowing deep down it will eventually lead to buying a tangible benefit in game because companies are just that greedy.

  854. lots of raid homages. HW pays homage to 6 & 7. SB pays homage to 1, 5 & 6. ShB pays homage to 1 & 8. nearly all the primals are summons from previous games, with one so far being XIV exclusive with Ravana.
    2
  855. when you have a character whose entire appearance is summed up as "skin as white as snow", how many latinas fit that bill? probably near zero.

  856. Bad capitalism is where rich people hijack capitalism and reduce the amount of active competition so they can shit out half baked projects that consumers digest because the big company controls the flow of creative ideas. which essentially stymie and suffocate new ideas so they can regurgitate the 35th sequel to a long running franchise that people will just habitually buy due to brand recognition and not because its fun, engaging or entertaining.
    2
  857. I just call it the fortnite disease when it comes to this sort of artstyle, its super simple, bland, almost zero detail, like a bunch of cheap plastic action figures smacking into each other. There are tons of games going for this sort of aesthetic and its underwhelming to say the least.
    2
  858. of course he hasnt.

  860. they could have make Med'an a girl and immediately playerbase would have loved them. Thats all it takes for the players to love an overly perfect character, just give em boobs. They just dont like Gary Stues, but they will simp for a Mary Sue.
    2
  861. people will go back for sure, we all know this to be true, theres a large portion of "refugees" in other games that will immediately run back to WoW once 10.0 is released. Once the memes and the controversy is a thing of the past. its one of those things of people will leave but less and less will end up going back. this is just going to be a deeper cut than usual is all.

  864. they will kill LoTR and dress up in a LoTR skin to promote their degenerate woke politics.
    2
  865. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Wokeban, first character you see is dark skinned, character customization they immediately cycle through as many brown faces as they can in the short span of time, and Im sure if you do see any caucassian characters, they are definitely going to be either assholes or the villains. JK Rowling would be so proud, I bet she will be the first one to tweet it out when it gets released.

  873. I always find it funny when you see people make videos about problems but have no real understanding why its a problem in the first place. Just giving more people goodie bags wont solve the issue, it will just make the intrinsic issue worse. More people will get a goodie bag then bounce leaving less people to queue after a number of weeks. You have people who come in hard, beat out their rating and leave when they feel their goodie bag is secure, and you have people who leave if they feel the goodie bag is unattainable. If you increase the amount of goodie bags, all you do is increase the amount of people who will bounce after the first few weeks. The issue is that people see PvP as a player driven activity, which it is to an extent, but developers need to put more into developing the modes than they do. When was the last time you were given a new map to play on? When was the last time they created a new mode? I dont mean revamping old shit with a new gimmick or two, I mean an entirely new experience and location.

  874. the people who are defending the griefing, welcome to the community that Blizzard has fostered over the years. never have I seen more of a wretched hive of scum and villainy in the MMO space. then you wonder why when you go into other gaming communities you get banned.
    2
  875. dont know why people are up in arms, if by chance assholes follow asmon into the game, they will most assuredly be weeded out by wonderful GMs and sent packing back to whatever game they came from. Ive seen many a sour grape on the WoW forums as of late.

  877. the people who exodus'd have all come back to their cotton fields... no need to pretend to listen anymore.

  878.  @zenketski  haphazardly banning players who acted like bots but ignored the actual and obvious bots lining up to run instances like its a ride at disneyland.

  884.  @JeremiahKoozer  pretty sure thats a youtube thing and not an asmon thing. their ghestapo bots are everywhere even if they have eased up a bit recently, it seems. there are certain words you just cant say or else you risk getting your comment scrubbed from the internet. thats in any video, not just asmon videos.

  885. it took a nose dive after BC.
    2
  886. ok game? with bugs that disable your ability to go in the direction you want to move and randomly rebinding your keys to things like print screen??
    2
  887. fine is a milquetoast response and an attempt to not upset anyone, which always backfires and pisses everyone off.
    2
  888. sounds more like "We hear you... and we will look into it.", which means fuck all in the grand scheme of things. which is what they always say, and people will fellatio them all day and night. which is why shit rarely gets fixed until people say fuck this game and start leaving. whenever I hear this sort of thing, I imagine the cable guys from South Park.
    2
  889. maybe they think the bright red will blind the enemy better than a smoke bomb.
    2
  890. revisionist? more like hindsight. "Remember when we thought BFA was the worst it could get... guess what 12.0 makes BFA look like a great expansion." Doesnt mean BFA wasnt a giant dumpster fire, just means the future expansion will be an even larger dumpster fire. thats not revisionist, thats comparative. you can say a dog turd isnt as bad as a horse turd, doesnt mean the dog turd is no longer a piece of shit.
    2
  891. People listen to an abridged version of War Crimes and are all WTF, funnily enough its written by the person people claim is the greatest writer for WoW, Christie Golden. its absolute hilarity, she is shit a writer as any that on staff at this moment.

  905. Cataclysm was good, so was MoP, Warlords simply had too much cut content and ideas then dusted off into the bin in favor of Legion.
    2
  906.  @Saladness  I wouldnt say never good, it was never great but it was good enough. Also this is coming from someone who wasnt a teen playing the game, I was in my late 20's with a job, so your assessment is flawed.

  912. the greatest lie that was ever told, was that vanilla wow was hard.
    2
  913. I mean letting people transfer hardcore dead characters to classic era servers free of charge doesnt hurt, right? people probably going over to revisit them when they get bored of hardcore. you already invested time into them, and if you have a decently leveled character, may as well invest in the rest of the journey.
    2
  914. the game like most pvp centric games are a gankers paradise, even if the game studio hadnt hit the bricks and renamed themselves, the 50k people at the beginning would have dwindled to nothing naturally over the next few months once enough people got tired of being farmed by asmonbots.
    2
  915. making something harder doesnt make it better, and theres a difference between gear checks and skill checks. if you sit and chase the top 10% of your playerbase only, you start to erode your overall playerbase because everyone has their own skill level. once people begin to think the game is no longer for them, they will quit and it can be difficult to convince them to come back. you need a healthy balance of difficulty. never put all your eggs in one basket, and hard nosed difficulty snobs never seem to understand that what they want is extremely harmful to the long term health of a game.

  916. Sylvanas used a corked bat, thats how she was able to crack a homerun across the dome of our boy Bolvar. I demand a drug test, she was clearly using performance enhancing drugs as well.
    2
  917. yes, Yoshi P took the idea of the red moon of dalamud and used it as in game reason for the destruction and reconstruction of the game. to explain why everything suddenly changed. the moon was originally slated to be tied to something else for future content. probably a patch or expansion zone. they dont even remember what it was originally created for.

  922. so you are saying that raiding stopped being fun in BC? because thats when the raider babies started crying about equivalent loot drops being available to more people.
    2
  923. Got Horse Armor. An oldie but a goodie. Its almost like Blizzard is trying to make themselves an even bigger meme laughingstock at this point.
    2
  924. I laugh at people who claim the art direction for this game "crushes it", its bland and generic. I swear half of the game only has three colors, black brown and red.
    2
  925.  @jonlaw8802  meanwhile in WoW, everyone will have to spend money to get all the cool cash shop items. so much better right? sorry you are salty for showing up late to the party and didnt get the cool door prizes. funny how you claim "copium" when it seems you have already snorted it all yourself.
    2
  926.  @jonlaw8802  1) you dont buy gil, it was as illegal as Blizzard gold until wow became a chinese gold seller themselves 2) you can buy wow mount 3) when was the last emote blizzard created besides the base racial emotes, but you would be the first one lining up to buy from the shop with your official RMT scam called a wow token. 4) wow has boosts too 5) wow would never make dyes because it cuts into their lazy recolor scheme, why give players dyes when you can just hand out 10k recolors of the same armor. as for Dyes, I have never bought a single dye from the cash shop, I get mine in game from doing retainer ventures. try again sucker. the biggest copium addicts are wow players and XIV haters, which are usually one and the same
    2
  927. if the more you know about something, the less hype you get just goes to show it wasnt worth the hype in the first place. if your level of ignorance is directly inverse to your level of hype just shows a level of unimaginable stupidity. in fact, I think the more you know about a game, your excitement for it should increase. if you hear about a game and your hype boner engorges, only to deflate and soften as you learn more about it, goes to show you were being taken advantage of, which is why I think most advertisement and PR these days rarely go too much in depth about games. all they do is manipulate the useful idiots to build hype for a game that will probably bomb. Im sure they will get millions in the first few months then the player count will probably plummet before it hits the three month mark.
    2
  928. great, more Malder's Gate videos...
    2
  929. because the people who implement this sort of thing arent doing to "protect" anyone, its to inject their moral authority into a digital space. its less about protection, and more about power.
    2
  930. people give blizzard too much credit, theres a point where people are literally praising for doing the bare minimum without screwing something like they deserve a game award for being competent.
    2
  931. PoE is garbage, they have impressive peaks but depressingly low valleys that everyone ignores because it doesnt fit the narrative they are pushing. Its the game for all those delusional old school feral druids from wow that think having to press 50 buttons to function makes them 5head super genius' playing 4D chess but they are really just rainman with a keyboard.
    2
  932. forcing a gay man to chop his wang off, and to dress/identify as a woman to avoid being stoned to death isnt "woke" nor "progressive". its backwards, and barbaric. anyone who says otherwise is heathenish and a barbarian.
    2
  933. so learning how to spell your own name is worthless?
    2
  934. pre order the premium currency... how many times must we jump this shark.
    2
  935. you think pet battles and mission tables, blizzard is thinking full wow on mobile with extra micro-transactions. they will skip the console market and dive straight into mobile.
    2
  936. leveling being easy has been a staple of WoW since 2004. if you thought it was hard, you were just trash at the game.
    2
  937. blown out of proportion, sure, murder and theft, totes not as bad as one would think. your average monday morning.

  938. I mean she isnt, have you seen the suit? clearly shes biting off of Ironmongers legacy.
    2
  939.  @Sam-es2gf  yeah they couldnt get away with recolors if they had a dye system.
    2
  940. meanwhile FFXIV has a $40 expansion cost, and a $12.99 sub fee.
    2
  941. people said they wish the game was more like classic, so they made it more like classic.... press one button.
    2
  942. graphics are moot if the rest of the game is trash and drivel.
    2
  943.  @ChaoticGoodPeasant23  yeah they have something that English VAs dont... its called Passion. Even the spear saiyan Sean Schmuckel clearly treats it like a paycheck, always has always will.
    2
  944. failed to eradicate a small human child and ran away, totally a merciless warrior.
    2
  945. its like those tootsie pop commercials. how many diablo seasons in Diablo 4 does it take for Blizzard to listen, and by listen I mean expend the minimal amount of effort to con a bunch of mouthbreathing morons to stop complaining on Youtube.
    2
  946. Golden was not a good writer, she was passable at best. Da-snoozer was just straight up terrible. Branflakes Bronzebeard here always has the shittiest of shit takes.
    2
  947.  @thecrimsomcardyugioh9810  the fact there has only been accusations. people like to treat an accusation like its a conviction of a crime. though I think its more like they want to distance themselves from the company, which means not openly playing anything associated with said company until things have been settled. of course Blizzard has already been convicted in the court of public opinion. this is believe all women levels of silliness.
    2
  948. hey people love "action combat", you asked for it, Ubisoft delivers.
    2
  949. leave it to blizzard to create an overly elaborate confusing system just for the sake of it... the conclusion from this video is you need a PH.D in mathematics and go through every single item with a fine toothed comb to even understand how to fucking gear properly.
    2
  950. anything they deem 'for children' is slapped on Youtube Kids, so much so that people actually add swear words to the captions so it doesnt get flagged for it. which is why you see clips of pre-teen and teen animated shows that have a random f-word in the subtitles.
    2
  951. that red mage was playing with fire backflipping on titan.
    2
  952. wow, even companies that run on literal slave and child labor cant be sustained. I wonder where all those billions of dollars going that they make yearly.
    2
  953. Well you know what they say, Tencent is more than Twocent, they beat you by at least Eightcent.
    2
  954. hardcore wow player in general means hardcore casual. this game has never been hard in the slightest, its just weird gimmicks and bugs that people remember as hard content.
    2
  955. Blizzard works with a company who is owned by a country that has literal concentration camps and active organ harvesting. They silenced a man who was championing the cause of free speech and freedom in a city that was being given to an authoritarian communist regime.... where was the outrage then? the uninstalls and the calls for human rights? the videos denouncing Blizzard and saying "no more coverage of blizzard products"? yeah, now suddenly... suddenly people are like hrumph, Blizzard has gone too far.
    2
  956. I say its more like cultural appreciation, the tauren are usually portrayed in a very positive light.
    2
  957.  @rafelg94  last I heard they already removed the bitch part of that line.
    2
  958. restart wow as "World of Warcraft : Mobile"

  959. people will still pay a premium in order to be dickish snobs to their fellow player, its the warcraft way.

  960. The cheat code went from "allyourbasearebelongtous" to "allyourbankbalancebelongtocompany"

  961. you dont need an armada of alts, just a platoon... like 35 alts, not 36 since that would be too many, but only 35.
    2
  962. people dont hate DSP for being bad at games, people hate DSP because he has shit opinions, they laugh and mock DSP because he is bad at games.
    2
  963. I was hoping for a follow up to Oscar Fighter 2.
    2
  964. they planned to have broadband... it just didnt happen. XD
    2
  965. theres a difference between making a general statement on the human condition and experience, and the modern day political angles. Like slavery happened to everyone, not just one singular group, it can be politicized but it doesnt mean its solely a political statement.
    2
  966. DOGE quest website... funded by USAID
    2
  967. You make an hour and half long video and spend most of it circle jerking each other, and have barely any information about the expansion. when people ask questions its always "oh he said it in an interview." The interviews should not have the meat and potatoes of the expansion, they should be supplementary to the main hour and a half long video for clarification on things that need to be possibly explained in depth in case. The hour and a half long video should be giving us core information about the expansion, sneak peaks of things like gear and instances, information what all the sorts of systems and activities they are going to have us do in the expansion. Not spend it circle jerking each other about how they are listening and gawping at the pretty landscapes while showing how wonderfully diverse they are now as a company.
    2
  968.  @MysticLuka  yes each language has its own client and voice tracks. though if you dont know any of them... most people default to the english client. Dont have to worry about the old time english, it does get lessened with each passing expansion, even Urianger doesnt speak it quite as much anymore outside of a few words, to maintain his character of being 'learned'.
    2
  969. why are people surprised China is the first to try, they are the country with the biggest fear of outside influence, and these sorts of things may sway control from the government. which also explains why they have such a stranglehold on the gaming they allow inside the country. its like being surprised that a control freak is being a control freak.
    2
  970.  @IchbinX  I have been flagged for quite a long time, they either just delete or delay the comment being posted.
    2
  971.  @바보Queen  if only GW2's story wasnt complete wank shite.
    2
  972. thats the thing, the humor... was subtle, far too subtle for people who grew up with overly blatant referential humor. older movies didnt need a punchline to let you know to laugh like a bright neon sign and finger pointing.
    2
  973. pretty fucking dumb from what I see on the forums. Youd think the Copium Stocks alone would be able to fund a small country.
    2
  974. people acting like they will have Classic+ when its probably just some fresh servers, and the PTR was an accident. watch.
    2
  975. Im sure your mother loved the lay away plan at Target.
    2
  976. its like those people who view criticism as hatred, and every time you voice it, they ask you if you hate the game so much why do you play it. I dont hate the game, I just want it to stop sucking and get better. if you dont voice your opinion, nothing will change, and nothing will get better. if anything, you hate the game if you keep your mouth shut to protect the status quo of a terrible game. You are the one wanting it to die as it nose dives into ruin.
    2
  977. the problem with fan speculation is because its usually 100x's more interesting than the eventual reveal.

  978. All roads lead to.... MUST KILL CHAOS ~!!!

  982. the chinese only want to be a scientist because they dont have youtube, just chinatube.
    2
  983.  @Platinrock  a rose by any other name is the same thing, just because you want to desperately separate the two phenomena in order to demonize people who dislike your product as evil. you are still bombing the reviews, whether they are positive or negative, it makes no difference. you are like that people who put "reverse" in front of words like racism to make it seem like its somehow unique and not as bad.
    2
  984. we will find out that Dom was actually a transman the entire time.

  985. Season of Ascension mixed with Chromiecraft.

    2
  988. I keep laughing at people calling it a locket... its a compass, the one Varian kept at his side.
    2
  989. or just stop deluding yourself with stories that WoW was ever hardcore. its the most softcore game with a simple people debuff. how do you survive wow? DBS : Dont be stupid.
    2
  990. prevent it from happening? Im sure this is working as intended. unless a huge enough of a kerfuffle happens to change plans, which they can play off for good PR, and lure more whales into the game to counter balance.
    2
  991. you may have just noticed but its been happening for awhile, asians, and light skinned latinos with some light skinned blacks. all are "honorary white people", especially those who dont toe the line politically.
    2
  992. I love when people hate something, they make blanket statements like the entire world shares their opinion. "I hate cataclysm, thus the entire playerbase must as well, because I am the arbiter of gaming taste."
    2
  993. you can pass a dps check when the dps dont all die, whodathunkit.
    2
  994. people dont want hard fights, they want fights that will stone wall the 'undesirables' so they can have the prestige of clearing them.

  995. anyone who tries to equate making people ugly and bland with making them realistic... i have two words : Alex Ross
    2
  996. Expectation : "Massive" open world Reality : 25 player maps
    2
  997. its not that MMO is a bad genre with little change its that companies realized it takes to build up to the profits, while Fortnite you can invest very little production and get huge profits. why bother making a full MMO when you can just sell whales costumes for ridiculous prices to wear in an arena builder shooter.
    2
  998. its funny that people think Blizzard will do anything more than they announced with cross faction than they did with something like timewalking. they will slap it in half assed and go "see we listened" and wait for the hapless schlubs to wheel their asses back in to resub.
    2
  999. and it was the last time that world was relevant.
    2
  1000. armor still looks too clean, like it was newly minted. barely any scuff marks anywhere, its like a dress uniform and not a working uniform.
    2
  1001. you like your own tweets, and half the view count is just asmon just watching his own videos.
    2
  1002. just another white guy to ax in favor of Tyrande v Sylvanas : Part 2, starring Alleria and the "Harbinger", who ends up just an fusion of Sylvanas and Danathrius.
    2
  1003. the new Scorcher movie looks awesome.
    2
  1004. Blizzards Modus Operandi : "Wasted Potential"
    2
  1005. probably another case of doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons, as usual for most governmental policies when it comes to gaming.
    2
  1006. 5:23 More accessible to casual players?! They dumbed the game down for filthy casuals.
    2
  1007.  @jluchette  more like MoP is the 'worst' according to a very loud minority who simply hate pandas. Legion was the worst, and has done more to damage the game than any other expansion with the revamp of the daily quest system into world quests and the addition of mythic+ which not only destroyed dungeon going but ruined the overall raiding experience. then every other expansion after was simply discount legion, even dragonflight.
    2
  1008. even if it wasnt scripted, there is such a thing as stockholme syndrome, being violently held captive for an extended period of time messes with your head.
    2
  1009. there is no problem, working as intended. they are just trying to turn those small numbers of players into payers. they need more whales. did you learn nothing from the guy who paid like $15k, they just need to get comfortable paying, after the first dollar, the next dollar is easier.
    2
  1010. I dont have sympathy for that guy about the phones comment. What was he supposed to do? He could have easily just bowed out, thank you for your time and walked off stage. The memes for the snarky comment, thats all him dude. Thats when the sympathy dried up. Just like "You think you do, but you dont", this will never go away. The internet never forgets.
    2
  1011. give them too much credit, she gets better and a shiny new high elf model to boot.
    2
  1012. WoW is a game with a cash shop on the side, and Guild Wars 2 is a cash shop with a game on the side.
    2
  1013. Im surprised they seal clapped through that, must have bought a new audience. The people Maher is usually around or come to his shows are a thousand leagues left of the center.
    2
  1014. same thing with emotes, people like to use them alot, and people would report others for spamming. they eventually added an option to turn off chat notifications for emotes, so to lessen the spamming for things like non-looped dances.
    2
  1015. also to all the people who go "who cares", I say this, if they can fuck up the small details, odds are they will continually fuck up the big details. its the canary in the coal mine situation.
    2
  1016. dubs terrible, always will be, most dubbed anime sounds a bunch of bored actors reading from a script for a paycheck. disinterested and monotone.
    2
  1017. people already trying to make a system worse for the brain dead sweat lords out there. mythic+ was a mistake, its killed the game and you should uninstall wow now. you are the reason its trash.
    2
  1018. like a father beating his son because he couldnt stop drinking while on the job and got fired.
    2
  1019. ah yes another unsatisfying conclusion, another Draenor is free moment with Grommash standing in front of the people he was genociding a patch previously like that shit never happened. I would love to make a fan edit and have Yrel just go WTF and club him over the back of the head until he dies. Adding salt into the wound they make Yrel into the leader of the Light Inquisition. That really irritated me. They rushed her development, made her stupid in the end and then villain batted her just to give horde brown orcs.
    2
  1020.  @raikiridosetsu214  no because GW2 is trash and is simply a cash shop with an optional game attached. I bet you spend thousands on keys to open their little in game loot boxes dont you? and salivate at the prospect of getting more.
    2

  1022.  @AureLangvinis  As far as the story is concerned, in XIV, YOU are the only warrior of light, everyone else are simply talented adventurers. you massively nitpicking a gameplay point to complain about story. Its almost as if you are just a hater trying to find any excuse to bash something.

  1023. Mcconnell overdosing on that copium. thematically, sure trash would be like storming the castle and killing the foot soldiers to get to the king... but is that really entertaining engaging gameplay? No it is not. especially not in WoW, it never has been and never will be. its like a nuisance that Blizzard puts in to slow your progress from boss to boss which is really why it takes so long to clear a raid.

  1025. people drooling over graphics and dont ask the big question, will your PC even be able to run a game that looks like that. we know the high powered in office PCs will be able to but will the average players. I look forward to the horror stories of people talking about how their PC melted into molten slag trying to play an UE5 game on moderate settings.

  1032. all the handwringing in the world for female devs, chastising people for "harassing" them because they are terrible at their job. though the men never get that sort societal protection, its just sort of "well that sucks, moving on". I dont care about the gender or whatever of the devs, if they are terrible at their job then you should treat them all equally, if you harass the men for fucking up, harass the women as well, if you chastise people for harassment when its women, then chastise the people when its men. choose one standard and stick to it.
    2
  1033. well most times these days when male leads are swapped for female ones, its not story reasons. though I wont immediately pass judgment here simply because while it does look like a downgrade appearance wise, they didnt give Ciri squarejaw mcbuttchin syndrome, so I guess I surmise its probably the one exception to the rule this time around.

  1034. I laughed at that, you are literally adding fuel to the fire, it just makes them want to gank him harder because now they are getting the attention they obviously crave.

  1035. its a first world world first problem, cant let the scrubs get crumbs faster. gotta keep them in the leveling mines longer so you can widen the gear gap and belittle them more easily for being scrubs and poors.
    2
  1036. No, its because they made mythic+ gear too easy to acquire, too powerful and too plentiful compared to raid gear. its logical for humans to choose the path of least resistance and Mythic+ is the path of least resistance. This was an intended game design choice, its easier for Blizzard to tweak a few numbers and swap out some affixes then creating an entire raid tier, and keeping it balanced.
    2
  1037. because Beta isnt a Beta in wow anymore, its just free advertisement, they ignore most of the feedback they get which is why there was things always still broken at launch.

I do love the avowed NPCs all leaning forward and doing synchronized kissy faces, its almost like they all share the same singular animation and only that animation.

  1046. Story writing is a little like juggling, the more balls you have in the air, the more your attention is divided and the more likely you are to fumble the entire thing. it takes a talented juggler to keep a dozen balls in motion while a lesser juggler will struggle with 3-4.

  1050. thats because WoW pretty much has a shit story now that you can completely and utterly ignore. Blizzard doesnt write stories, they create 'cool trailer moments' for cut scenes. theres no interesting story beats to speak of and if they do create it, its not in game story, you have to pay like twenty bucks to buy a novel for it.
    2
  1051. ah yes the nasty bug of giving players more of what they want. gotta correct that immediately, cant have players satisfied with loot and risk them not logging in every single day and raid week like clockwork to pad those time played numbers. player happiness is a bug that needs correcting.

  1054. but wont stop people from claiming everyones just singing the praises and XIV can do no wrong, so when shit like that appears, its the naysayers who flip their shit first. like its some sort of gotcha moment where all their bullshit is somehow legitimized. XIV is a good game overall, with some issues that could be changed or ironed out. the only people claiming its some utopia are just the ones pretending someone else said it was some utopia.

  1066.  @sergelengerelmaa2450  there is the base expansion, and then 3 patches to wrap up main story sort of like an epilogue, followed by two patches of lead up to the next expansion. they usually sow seeds of future stories in the lead up patches.

  1071. I love that in the video they claim "dont say x group is inherently evil" then go on to point to nazi's and go "x group is inherently evil". completely wiping away the nuances of world war 2, as in there were people with swastika armbands actively trying to stop the nazi advance by purposely sabotaging them and plotting assassination attempts against hitler. not all within the nazi ranks were inherently evil, they were just stuck in a situation where they had to be covert or being executed for treason if they spoke out against it.

  1079. because Hardcore is a total gimmick, theres nothing hardcore about vanilla wow. nearly every single death can be attributed to mostly stupidity or hubris with a small sprinkling of bad luck. the whole point of it is to feed the ego of people who suck at the game pretending that they dont suck, the game was just hard.

  1094.  @Konin300  or maybe they could break it down in a way that a normal non-coding person can understand. they dont, they just say we cant do it, and call it a day. you can defend them all you like, at the end its just PR-speak from a "hello fellow gaming enthusiasts" developer.

  1096. yeah at the end of Cata, the dragons were supposed to be de-powered and the "age of mortals" was supposed to begin. guess they are retconning the dragon lore now. the story is in such flux and things can just be retconned willy nilly theres no solid foundation to give a shit about the story even at the most basic of levels.
