    I wanted to get this video out because I know a lot of players have been feeling the same way and the problems seem to be getting out of Kingsisle's control.
    I'll be posting some guides this week for y'all.
    I had to post this video because with everything going on lately, I feel like as a creator it would be ignorant to act like everything is sunshine and rainbows right now.

    dual schooling being in the game is like a fantasy for noob wizards who picked fire but used all their training points in storm back in the day. i hate that school identity is ruined, it was a core aspect of the game.

    My main issue is the communication and interaction with community, its abysmal, there is no respect or compassion for the playerbase. Playing a different game, (WoT) I had an experience that killed any respect for kingisle. One major piece of recent history was the failure to keep the server up and the sass used to say no chance will anyone get any extra member time... its not that hard to extend memberships as a reasonable compensation.

    I think the devs need to take a step back and have this epiphany:
    "Every update they've been having recently has done nothing but anger everyone."
    Now I understand you cant please everyone, but they've been consistently making around 90% of their current players angry with each update.
    They also have to realize, yes getting consistent playtime is important, HOWEVER... Each update has been making the game more and more grindy. That's all most of Selenopolis is: It's nonstop grind for stuff. Just about every update has had some sort of grind just annoying players, and we have to say "Enough is enough." Despite how dedicated the current playerbase is, their patience is starting to wear thing. PORTAL OF PROBLEMS IS STILL A THING, and the fact a feature has a nickname light that is probably something the Devs need to think about.
    They're NOT fixing problems their game has... They're making more grindy activities, and creating more problems. When players that played the ins and out of their game gives devs feedback about issues, they plug their ears and make their own changes to "Fix the game".
    Honestly, I like the polymorph quests, but I can agree they feel a bit long. Perhaps give a player some "Positive cheats" to speed up the fight if they succeed in gambits. It allows players to better learn why they'd want to dual school in the first place (figuring out good gambit combos) without grinding a player's patience into the ground.
    My honest opinon: I dont mind longer fights for this late in the game. Additional challenge to change up the gameplay is a good thing, HOWEVER... Some of the challenge feels like it boils down to tedium. Making something tedious doesn't make gameplay harder, just longer. And grinding a player's patience into the ground is going to kill whatever fun a player has and they'll all quit. KI is VERY fortunate Wiz players are as patient as they are, because if they werent, they'd be bankrupt YEARS ago.
    Their game is running on their playerbase's patience.

    Ive kept giving this game a chance. I sit in pvp recently around 1600 rank. Im not a high rank wizard but i literally just spent so much time trying to figure out the rhoshambo and then finally when i get to understand it selenopolis comes out and i now i have to spend more ridiculous time to get useless spells. Hell no. I just want to enjoy pvp on my main and just enjoyably quest through a world. I am with you liahm i have no idea what they were thinking here. My thoughts this is garbage and unless they fix there mistake quick im almost sure this is the final nail in the coffin

    Its kinda a shame that they are trying to funnel us into advanced combat, because im just not really interested in it. I do like watching it, but i just don't have a reason to fully learn it because i get my enjoyment from playing casually with friends.
    But yeah those spell weaving quests were the most tedious things i have done, but i wanted my favorite spell animations, its just too grindy. I just wish they would pay more attention to their player majority.

  • @FranklyOwned
    @FranklyOwned หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I feel pretty much the same way. I tried hopping on the game to start selenopolis stuff, was able to play for a grand total of 2 minutes, and then got kicked off the game for connection issues. I was a little excited to play i guess, but that happening combined with not being as excited as I’ve been the past couple years made me just play something else.
    I think there’s just gotta be a change in mindset within the company where everything in the game isn’t just either more grindfests or more cash grabs. I like playing the game still but I really need the right mindset in order to stay on and grind the game, which in and of itself says a lot about the current state of the game.

    I've felt this way about the game for a while. I have not liked the 4th arc at all in terms of both it's narative and gameplay, gameplay is my biggest issue with this game though. I'm personally in a weird position as a player, I want more interesting PvE content but I have zero interest in challenge mode because I don't like PvP rules and dislike the fact it requires a team when I'm mostly a solo player.
    I feel like the only solution that would work for players like me would be to have side worlds that have more challenge which anyone who just wants to play through mostly easy worlds can just ignore.
    Spell weaving is something I feel has some potential but every school's best option is just to weave into storm for the Blade and most of the hits you can disregard for PvE. The labours are also far too unreasonable. Expecting people to try weaving into multiple schools on multiple characters with what the requirements are now is unreasonable. The teamup option for worlds should always be available no matter the Weaving rank and you should only need to beat 10 minions and 5 bosses.

  • @dlogo96

    They ruined school identity when whatever dumbass dev first introduced roshambo and the ability to change power pips to every other schools pips other than your own schools pips. PVP is just dead, its the same 20-30 people at max on different characters with a handful of randoms here and there. The F2P non-sweats are too overwhelmed with PVP to understand all these new pvp mechanics and spell bans, people just want pvp to go back to how it was during 1st age atp. Playing your ACTUAL school and not dealing with all the complicated roshambo and using every other schools spells BS on top of now "spell fusions and weaving" crap. School Identity has been thrown out the door long ago.

    Thanks for the solid video and offering some solutions like making the labor quests not so god damn tedious by tuning some of those 3/5 quests. There are currently many other BETTER games out there now that aren’t run by incompetent or greedy devs that deserve our attention. Whether you’re into mobile gaming (I’m enjoying Pokémon TCG Pocket for example as a casual f2p friendly player or Monopoly Go) to console gaming (new Mario game released & other big AAA games) to other PC games in general, videogames never have had so many great options other than being stuck in the past on some ancient mmorpg that refuses to modernize graphics wise, monetization-wise, game-play wise, etc. I agree with TH-cam that Selenopolis is dry and a disappointment let alone stupidly required for the sake of questing into the next world when it would’ve been better if it was optional. Many Wiztubers I’ve noticed have dropped off content wise like Val, Zaepha, BlazeLH, etc. The only consistent ones it seems really is ATS due to PvP only & Richard Unicorncaller for news/drama/crowns shop updates. So yeah, the game is dying and who knows how much longer wiz101 has left especially if change doesn’t happen & Sparck isn’t fired or moved to another department.

    I respect this. I’ve been on and off with wiz since I was a kid in 2009…. I played for a year in 2014 then again in 2018 and then I got back into it in 2022…. Slowly learning the new stuff they added + roshambo…. I honestly wish how simple the game was. Some would argue against me which is fine. Everyone has their opinion on how they want the game to be. But imo I feel like the simple casual world questing is what I love most about the game. I love the lore and I love storyline questing the most. I even enjoy farming for gear (not a 2 hour fight though lol). Also, school weaving seemed like a cool idea but after the update came out it seems like it just tanked. Is it wrong to say I wish they just focused on making fun quests and UPDATING THE OG SCHOOLS? Instead of adding a completely new system that everyone seems to have some problem with…. Again this is my opinion. But I feel like if they focused on updating the og schools and giving new spells that are actually USEFUL in PvE then people would feel excited to play because they got new powerful spells to use while questing…. So much more I could add but don’t want to make this too long! Great video, as usual 🙌🏻

    I've also lost a lot of interest in the game. I went and got all the storm weaving rank 1, but havent even cared enough to do selenopolis once, i never even farmed for nightmare gear either. Just way too big of a time commitment for marginal if any change in gameplay. They would need to seriously overhaul the lame roshambo, we miss 4th age pvp, that was so fun, the old videos of people playing it are a million times more enjoyable then actually playing roshambo. People want to hit hard with their spells and, like you said, casually enjoy the game. That is no longer possible outside of storyline quests, going through and leveling new wizards. Thats all that keeps me engaged, but i havent even done that lately.

    As a very casual PvE player, I really enjoyed the Selenopolis quest line. I thought it had a good story and fun bosses, which is more or less what I want from a yearly expansion, so I didn't really feel like I needed a better reason to do it (like new gear). But I 100% agree on Spell Weaving being a strange misfire. It's not even because of the fact that most spells won't be useful to me... it's just the absolute grind. I remember them saying when they introduced the system on stream that they wanted people to check out all of the weaving schools they could for lore and whatnot, but who on Earth is going to do that if you have to do labors for each and every one of them? As you said, we don't have to do labors for our regular yearly spells, so I don't see why we need them for these; the only thing you should have to do for each weaving school is the tree questline associated with them.
    And the thing is, this is only gonna get worse. They will add more weaving ranks as the years go by. They might start adding really good spells to those ranks. But is a person who has been ignoring spell weaving for four years suddenly gonna start paying attention when they realize they have to grind through six or seven sets of labors just to get the new spell they added at the very highest rank? I doubt it.

We also have free member and I've prefered to help quest a friend in azteca, my same friend has maybe 5 or 6 ready for selenopolis. Devs just have no clue how to make Wiz fun for the PVE players, ignoring our voices saying stop with advanced/raids etc. I fear the end is nigh for me playing wiz. If i wanted a hardcore gaming experience I wouldn't have been playing Wiz for well over a decade with multiple accounts. I won't be getting new member after free membership ends, what's the point?
