another asmongold channel? wtf
lol you're dumb this is his main channel
@@August-ok9rt r/whoooosh
Ironic you're calling someone dumb when it was you that didn't understand the joke.
@World of August imagine having negative IQ score
What if World of August purposely said that, And we're all the retards and he's the one who's 200 IQ
I remember getting bloodfall in ICC 25.
I don't even know the name of my weapon right now.
I'll never forget obtaining Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter from Marrowgar as a Blood DK. So hype.
Now i'm using some PvP two hander that rolled stupidly high ilvl. Great.
Same. I couldn't tell you the name of any of my gear, but I sure am sick of STILL carrying a 325 offhand. RNG is fucking dumb.
My deathbringers will D: man when I finally got that ohhhhh
Deathbringer's will was the fucking op shit! Raids and guilds were collapsing because of it!
@@Buraz93 first time i ever ran heroic i won a heroic will. Best run of my life
2 years ago wtf, this felt like yesterday.
I hope he does one for Shadowlands, would be much more positive and enjoyable to watch
@B͜͡o͜͡b͜͡a͜͡ t͜͡e͜͡a͜͡ but he doesn't post there him,his editors so your point?
Almost 3 years later - nothing changed. Amazing.
Well, some things have changed. :) hopefully for the better
@@VegardLa 9.1.5 did make some good changes
Oof... I can't tell which is worse. The fact that this vid is now 3 years since the time I watched it or the fact that there are people who sub to this game still thinking anything is going to change.
@@Kaldor-Draigo-h6q The people who keep subbing no matter how the game is being developed are one of the reasons it's getting worse and worse.
Yes, he’s still a loser gamer, with no real life.
You freaks are worthless pieces of human excrement, you contribute, literally NOTHING actually useful for society.
Oh boy, can't wait for Asmongold to react to this one.
I came here to post that
hey i came here to post that too!
I hope he makes a reaction to his reaction of his original video
Why the fuck would he do that?
so good.... I lolled
Blizzard: it's not us, it's you.
well you know, you think you do...
The only thing you listed that i actually want is flying lol
I never asked for lfr and will always be against it
Blizzard is slowly turning into Disney and WoW is turning into the Last Jedi. Like how Disney attacked the fans and called them the problem and claimed that last jedi has no problems at all, people who watched it are just stupid.
That hurt to read only because of how true it is.
same happened to starcraft 2
The devs don't play it, they're busy on their mobile phones.
They’re playing Diablo mobile lul
Dev: what, do you guys don't have phone?
savage
Watch: they are all actually playing OSRS on mobile and not even any blizzard game.
dont you guys have phones lol?
he got more epics in this vid killing frogs than you got in 4 months of raiding in vanilla
THIS SO MUCH THIS ......Since WOTLK they have given epics away for breathing air.
Yea.... 'inventory full' I was thinking oh... so they drop so often now you just leave them on the ground? Okay. Glad I'm not subbed to this dumb game.
@@Legion852 Make that 2.4.3 and Isle of Quel'danas
LOL, I remember spending a month trying to get sul thraze the lasher. Getting it was so damn rewarding. Then saving up enough to buy a skull flame shield. Ah, such good gaming experiences for me. I left during cata when wotlk made epics mince meat. Plus having full ulduar 25 gear and being told gearscore wasnt high enough for toc 25, ass.
@@alexbrown2529 I was one of those lucky bastards that just found sul thraze randomly on a mob. I was more upset that even then after finding my first epic I replaced it with a blue 3 lvls later
I hope Preach makes a 40 minute video where he just watches this video and goes "uh-huh", "yeah", "thats right", "I get what he's saying dude".
"This is big"
“Okay”
“TRRRUUUUUEEE”
"What do you think MCconnel?"
“Listen to this, this is really important!”
Does he usually agree with Asmon? Feel like Preach likes being a contrarian to be honest...
Unsubbed yesterday, and when he said: "I remember the items I got back in vanilla tbc, I don't remember the highest titanforge I got in in Legion". Hit me right in my heart... Good old benediction
Core hound tooth and perdition's blade. Those were the days.
I still remember the first time I got a piece of Tier gear from Molten Core. I could tell you the player's name's that were in the raid and what boss it dropped from.
Quel’Serrar. Doing that fucking headache of surviving Onyxia breath attack, and than after she died, hoping the sword wouldn’t despawn the body with all the loot... but walking around Ironforge with that sword, I felt like an elite amongst tanks
I almost cried when I got the leaf quest from majordomo. Stopped playing at wotlk. Following the rest through social media and it sucked since wotlk.
Gigaboss87 Spot on, it's my dagger combo transmog till this day. Qiraji Reaper+Iblis for swords... Timeless stuff.
Can’t believe this was already half a decade ago… I remember watching this 2 days after it was uploaded.
I dont know where the time went, it all seems like it was yesterday
2 years ago today, and shadowlands on the horizon. Time flies

That would actually be epic and a lot of fun!
I look forward to that
Asmongold reacts: "Asmongold - The State of Battle for Azeroth”
ROFL. This comment caught me off guard. Thanks! Now i can clean up my desk from all the coffee i spitted out because i laughed my ass off
DO EEET
I find it impressive that the man kept talking for 34mins straight without pausing
I still cant believe its been 4 years since this video
Devs: "Pay cash to level up"
Devs: Oh shit we need to find ways to make the game longer
I want to give this more thumbs up. But I am just one man!
damn this is so real
The problem is that the main goal blizzard is aiming for is not player enjoyment, but hours played.
Agreed. I cringe when I see WQ on the map. Grinding WQ for 3 hours on two toons is not fun. Artifact power sucks.
Yeah, alts are a pain in the ass. Even changing specs is a pain in the ass.
I couldn't agree more... I see it as they are replacing the fun created content with RNG timewalls. I feel they believe its easier and faster to create rng timewalls as opposed to creating content that will last the same amount of time. I understand they may be frustrated that they create content and players consistently blow through it like its nothing.... but I still feel that they , the devs, are getting lazy and falling back on WQs and RNG for the "perfect" drop way too often.
Idk about other people but when ever I blew through content, I would go pvp. That is the beauty of having good pvp and good pve, if you get bored with one, you just go do the other. Just back and forth constantly.
This is why I quit in MoP, and why I've tried every expansion and quit again. The game feels like you have chores to do.
Blizzard: lets make mobs scale with your level
Also blizzard: lets make mobs scale with your item level.
Also blizzard: lets not give players anything for leveling.
Players: What's the point of playing the game anymore?
I just started again for the first time in about 7-8 years. It blew my mind at how different a lvl 110 in Legion vs a lvl 110 in BFA is. I could easily hold my own against 8-10 Legion 110s. I go and try BFA 110s and now I can barely do 3. I don't understand how this works here.
I dont know how it works, when I capped my character I took one look at the stuff blizzard had decided was good endame content. logged out, uninstalled.
We're basically playing GW2 at this point, and that game was dead like 1 year after release. Top fucking kek
@@monawinkler7737 big part of GW 2 before the raids came out was 100%ing your maps because generally the quests and vistas were all worth seeing so I think that just steamrolling throught low-level maps would have ruined that
@@vladdracul2379 Well it makes sense that the new expansion mobs are stronger than the old ones, you quickly get your gear upgraded. As in every other expansions before.
I completely misunderstood how Azerite traits would work when I played Beta. These traits are one of the most annoying, least fulfilling, and confusing things to ever be added to the game. I hate them so, so much. I hate the fact that I need to sim every single piece I get because I legit have no idea what traits are good, but then also keep every Azerite piece I get because I don't know when Blizzard will decide that one of my traits is too OP and give it the Gladiator Warrior treatment. This is probably my least favourite thing right now when it comes to BFA, but it's not the only thing I'm not liking.
Quick shout out to Warfronts and Islands for being 2 highly promoted expansion features that are actually some of the least fun content I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing.
Darnasuss was justified.
Warfronts should have been a rotating event. darkshore should have been in the game already and darkshore shuold have been up when arathi was down for each side. I would have added a third as well outright that was exclusively a new pvp mode similar to back in wotlk large scale assault.
Islands are actually.. not too bad of an idea, but I think they're not varied enough. It should have been called expeditions and not been restricted to shitbasket islands. These are the types of times they could have generated a lot of content procedurally, one of the few fucking times... and all they did was leave in this couple various scripted bullshit.
The brawlers guild is still around.
warfront is such a fraudulent experience it cannot stay like this for the rest of the expansion.
Island on the other hand if they add lot more cosmetic item it "could" be worthwhile. Then again i thought terrains are auto generated like diablo 3, sadly it wasn't.
The real problem is not Azerite but the fact that this is a single expansion feature. If Blizz wanted to rebuild the system now - it would take a long time, probably around 8.3 to implement in game. By that time the exp would be almost over so there is no point in putting so much work into that. They will slap a hotfix here and there but I would not expect a major overhaul.
This video just made me realize that I log in everyday strictly due to addiction and not due to enjoyment or fullfillment. Its a never ending cycle of "hoping it will be better."
Couldn't agree more man! I log in every day making new characters trying to find a purpose for wow. I play everyday but i don't enjoy it.
@@jacobstewart6552 Try guild wars 2! i am in the same boat and decided to dive into a new MMO and my god is it a breath of fresh air.
Yes. this video have opened my eyes about what I feel every time I log in and just do stuff without knowing how I really feel.
I hate to say it but this feeling hit me towards the start of Legion, I kept playing, and kept playing, 30+ hours a week, then 20, then just raid nights, then I realised exactly how you have realised, this amazing game is not amazing anymore, its soulless
You're in an abusive relationship and you cant leave because....where would you go
Complains about his channel not popping up on the search bar when he hasn’t posted in over 2 years LMAO
@@ChawkoSnap he doesnt post there,his editors
BFA drove me away. Played since original open beta and BFA was the straw for me.
This shit stinks even more now, quite sad.
You know its gotten really bad when ya boi asmongold makes a video
Ditto and he turns his light on
and then never makes a video ever again cause it be on point
I unsubbed, thanks Asmongold. "I remember the items I got back in vanilla tbc, I don't remember the highest titanforge I got in in Legion" got me right there.
I got my BIS from a fucking blingtron in Legion
The reason for that is loot was so rare in Vanilla. I raided for a year and didn't get a single drop in Vanilla.
I also unsubbed few days ago and cancelled my gametime, feels so good. Waiting for Classic/tbc/wotlk now.
did you kill a boss?
I remember because it was +70 on a fucking Broken Shore rare, so ridiculous.
Watching this video is like looking back at the beginning of the end. What a sad state this company is in and still nothing has changed.
We need this Asmongold back
It's time to stop calling them Blizzard and start calling them who they really are ... *ACTIVISION* :(
Holy shit this is so savage. I'll start doing that.
Very true. I think Blizzard could do some really awe-inspiring things but the SUITS -- the businessmen -- are keeping them down; limiting more than just the budget.
This. What made Blizzard is gone. It is now Activision.
FeRReT NS ironically, they have destiny 2 and black ops 4 on the battle net loader instead of either making their own launcher or putting it on steam
Actizzard or Blivision?
BFA = Blizzard Failed Again
Haven't played since WoD and I'm glad I stayed away, this game is turning into a slot machine, complete trash.
:(
I really miss this Asmongold. I don't want to watch him reacting to some irrelevant form of drama or dogshit Mmos like Lost arc, FFXIV or Towers of fantasy.
Just him ranting about wow with Mcconell
The drama stuff is what got me into him. I think it's more entertaining
@@AuditorMadness I’m sorry for you then
@@DerSchalker97 Usually, people say sorry to those who are unhappy. I'm happy with the content he's pumping out, so I'll say the same to you.
@@AuditorMadness nah I’m sorry for you missing out on the old Asmon and his og content what made him famous
@@DerSchalker97 it's not lost media to miss out on, I can just find and watch them, but I don’t since it's not my thing. Asmon also went trending because of the recent reviews he does on random topics, that's how I and many people I know started to know him and share his vids around, while his old content is for specifically WOW and alike type of fans which isn't as big of an audience as the general topics right now.
I remember how I started playing wow when Zul'Gurub was added in vanilla WoW, and how I thought their gear and mounts looked amazing. Those were the good ol' days.
Its not the developers. Its the game designers. The original game designers, Like Jeff Kaplan for example, who were part of the original Mike Morhaime team, are gone. Blizzard is essentially an Activision Brand now, and the game reflects that.
So true. I think Morheime is just sick of the Activision corporate bullshit and quits, just like Metzen.
Developer is a blanket term that include creative leads as well as game directors.
Unless you are talking about coders? But no one blames coders/programmers for the game's direction.
@someone667
there's a very distinct difference between "developer" and "people making design decisions". devs are coders... the latter is more in line with executive production. It's important to note because the DEVELOPERS are the ones who take the chance to go on social media, but end up getting flamed. executive producers are either invisible to the public, or have teams of PR staff working to protect their reputations.
@ilovedrugseveryday Mike, and Chris, and Rob Pardo (he was very open about the crap he went through prior to leaving), and the entire Wildstar team, and countless others who have since moved on.
Well you are wrong about that. Game developers are not necessarily the coders themselves. In fact, the coders generally have little to no say as to how the game turns out, other than if they claim there are limitations to things that they were suppose to be doing.

This channel will always be better than react andy
I like his react content only when he doesn't talks about politics (too serious and toxic for me), but he definitely goes overboard. 6 hours of react Andy is way too much. We need another elden ring type of game to bring him back
Legendary video right here. I remember that this was the first Asmongold video I watched 2 years ago and I had never even played WoW ever. When I think about it I don't even know why the fuck I watched this video but man... I'm glad I did. Love you Asmon.
He looks genuinely sad in this video. Close to tears. I don't play but i feel bad for people who has invested in WoW.
Truly sad the direction the game has gone for long term fans. That's why there's such a push for classic.
Sad, but not quite close to tears. I think that's just him stifling several burps throughout the video. He's a gassy boy.
Well you can start playing with private server
we all do but its never enough we always want more its never enough we want to be kids again and start new characters on private servers but its never enough its doesn't feel the same we always want more
Wait he remembered he has a TH-cam Channel?
For some reason, yeah.

"Give us something to where your character's power is not defined by just getting really lucky. It's not fun." I strongly agree. 33:03
BfA is doing a good job in hyping up vanilla ^_^
Gonna be a RuneScape situation. The oldstyle game is bigger than the old one now haha
Vanilla will have a niche audience at best. People who enjoy todays games won't put up with the archaic systems in vanilla.
Just look at how many threads there are about flying on the forums for proof of this.
vanilla won't be nearly as popular as people seem to think it will be, methinks . this coming from someone who played Vanilla-TBC, and tried playing on a Private Server recently.
Nostalrius had 800k accounts and almost 200k active players when it was shut down, and it was a fucking private server. Classic is gonna be huge.
And how many people only played because it was free?
I agree 100%. The direction in which Blizzard is taking World of Warcraft simply by not listening to the players is shocking.
Right? These are all things we've been saying since mod
Is this your first expansion they have been doing this since wrath of the lich king
@exzses yeh it sucks I agree :(
Agreed. Really sad to see.
They used to say that X game was going to be the wow killer. Little did they know that the only thing that could kill wow was its creator.
so they basically dumbed down everything to level new players with veterans?
Exactly.
So sad he quit his TH-cam channel, hoping for Dragonflight
AsmongoldTV
Blizzard take notes from this video before you kill our game.. Please..
they killed the game 9 years ago
its not your game. its theirs
@@modernwarfare186 it is the communities game. Wow cant exist without players.
Without the players, there IS no game.
dedicated all time wow player asmon before weeb games... FeelsBadMan
Totally agree. I quit after two weeks. I felt like a hamster on a wheel. Total waste of time.
Good, don't ever come back or even think about coming back. You also should have refunded you waste money fuck.
@Black Panther oh my
yeah man, totally. hamster on a goddamn wheel
I spent the last few months of Legion purely doing gold making. About a month from BFA I bought a three month subscription, leveled one alt up in BFA, then stopped. It's just not fun. No classes I played, and I have all but three at 110, felt good. They all feel shit.
rofl been like that since cataclysm tho
Insane that Asmongold was murdered 5 years ago
More people have watched this video than play BfA
Accessible to all, enjoyed by none.
Fuck.
"if you make a game for everyone you make a game for no one"
absolutely NO ONE ENJOYS THIS GAME.
seriously?
Any coincidence that the Azerite wheel looks like a roulette wheel......🤔
8.2 is not luring me in. I only trust the Classic team now, and that’s an uneasy trust.
Well this aged well...
My buddy I work with said it the best; feels like the game was made by greedy Activision and not passionate Blizzard.
Blizzard = Activision now.
nipa 101 is just a triggered kid
@@nipa1013 arguments aren't needed when you say stuff so nonsensical.
nipa 101 no this is Activision. Blizzard had always been about what is the best experience for the players... and I’m talking about all their games in the late 90’s to the early 2000’s. It is why they had become titans in the industry . This incarnation of Blizzard is about spreadsheets and graphs. They could salvage WoW this very moment. They could change and fix all the issues the game has... but... that would go outside of their charts and projected precious budget, and the Lords of Greed sitting on their thrones in Activision would never be happy about going outside of their profits.
Play Destiny 2, it’s very eerie similar how the games are alike now
If you think Blizzards communication is bad as a US player try being an EU one, I have been playing since BC and can honestly say i have never seen a Dev post directly to the EU forums or join in any conversations.. The only Dev posts we get are copy/pasted over from the US forums by a CM.
johnyfartpants I mean in fairness the guys work in California. Sure they could assign a 3rd shift crew to cater for EU needs. Guessing they could never justify the manpower to their bosses to help you guys out. I mean Christ even East coast players like myself got screwed from patches in the past. I remember the Black temple patch wasn’t ready intill 10pm Tuesday night.
why is there even a EU forum? Forums should be split by language, not region.
Totally agree, and surely we are reaching a time where there shouldn't even be different regions for the clients and maybe even one joined up realm? Eve-Online has had one server network to cover the whole globe for well over a decade? When you look at how dead most realms are nowadays i'm pretty sure this could be done for WoW?
wont be done cause they need them moneys from unfortunate ppl that need to transfer
almost all of eu speaks english or enough of it to have a proper conversation with you
it's time to make one for Shadowlands...
i'm looking forward for similar video in a few month
Thank you Asmongold for your in-depth analysis and insight always appreciated. it’s sad to see World of Warcraft in this state and honestly I’m glad I avoided this expansion. all we can hope for now is a good classic hopefully blizzard doesn’t fuck that up
Glink love your videos fam.
My man❤️ i miss your hunter gameplay ;(

Glink my boy you're still alive
They will change all the dances to fortnite dances
Look at Wrath:
You had emblems of Trumph, noobie farming friendly, you got decent enough gear to step into raids and you were getting some emblems of frost so even as a noobie doing dungeons, you could get a raid item eventually! SO then you're ready to play in raids because you don't suck as much due to some experience you gained...
Tokens and emblem of frost from ICC, you could gradually farm your pieces, you knew how long it'll take to get pieces of your set, bravo, you go every week to get full set then get tokens in guild setting and you keep progressing to HC and get more tokens and more gear, bravo, rewarding and metered experience. No one will get all gear on day one due to BS titanforge.
PVP, you get shit beaten by full wrathful gear, you grind your ass off in arena and BGs eventually you earn enough honour and rating to buy gear you want and become the holy pala that 1v5s in BG against furious geared noobs aspiring to be like YOU. Bravo, rewarding and satisfaction!
Couldn't agree with you more! Starting out getting the crap beat out of you to 1v5ing in BGs was one of the best feelings I've had in WoW. Also I will never understand why on earth they got rid of PvP vendors! I would visit the vendors so often to see what I can eventually get. I would shift, right click them to see how awesome I would look aswell lol
Can't wait for Classic WoW. PvP Vendors should have never been removed.
Wrath was the best.
Yeah nowadays you farm rep and by the time you get the 350 items you have way better stuff from dungeons already and that's the only thing you can realistically farm for.
When did they get rid of Honor/Conquest vendors? I quit back in MoP and back then they were still in the game, I came back due to friends wanting me to raid in BFA, so I have no idea if it was in WoD or Legion or whenever.
I'm going to be honest. I have purchased BFA, re-made my troll hunter which I was really looking forward to. I logged on, was introduced to this tutorial on how to play survival in baby steps, logged off. I waited for a couple of weeks to keep an eye on the state of the game and uhh. Let's just say I have about 3-5 minutes in BFA, have cancelled my subscription and haven't looked back. This is the only time in Blizzard history which I have not attempted one of their games...
I will be re-subbing for classic WoW 100% though.. lol
A wow expansion is nowhere near a complete different game so don’t worry if you play everything else you can still say you played all of blizzards games
"You think you want it, but you don't." -Smug Blizzard dev
I just cancelled my sub. Something that I never felt like doing in Legion.
They don't even make you go through the process to give feedback on your reason for cancelling your subscription.
I clicked "Cancel Subscription" it threw up a box and asked me if I was sure and then nothing after I clicked yes. It just cancel is without any boxes or ticks to check to explain my reason.
They just don't care anymore apparently
I also unsubbed and I thought it had bugged out when I did it because I remember that there was a "tell us why" part to canceling your sub in the past and this time I didn't see anything of the sort. Honestly it made me feel like they didn't care if I subbed or canceled.
you're weak
The box submit thing was given useless feedback so they removed it
@@skannerz22 Eh. I'm just not having fun with WoW in BFA so I'm not going to pay for it. I've hardly logged in in 2 weeks and dont really have much desire to anymore. So I'll save the 15 bucks and spend it elsewhere.
It's not a matter of being weak as much as it is the game not being worth my 15 bucks
If it's useless feedback, that's because of the mechanisms they had allowed it to collect.
Any input from an unhappy customer, especially systematic and quantifiable, is always useful.
They could have defined a few things they were interested in, even.
"Did you quit because you were unhappy with the game? Y/N"
Even that simple of a question, over years, can let you know if more players are happy or not relative to the population.
Blizzard, just accept that kids will be playing Fortnite rather than WoW, and make this game an adult game once more.
as a 1 month old infant, i agree with you
As a semen swimming upstream I agree
As a godlike alpha male who has sex with 10 women a day, I agree
how wonderful would that be oh god!
As a mother, I agree.
Asmon please never quit WoW...you’re such a great streamer and I couldn’t see you playing any other game. I watch you 50% for you and 50% for your gameplay/video reactions. I hope you stay...
This came out 1 month into my freshman year of college and now I’m graduating in 2 months. What the fuck
damn
I mean leveling in a completely new expansion knowing you won't get any new exciting abilities for your class sucks.
Knowing what awaits you at 120 is farming world quests over and over sucks.
Playing classes that are so slow, clunky and a lot weaker than before sucks.
Knowing Blizzard doesn't care what people want but just want to do whatever they want sucks.
I'm done with WoW.
World quests are better than daily quests to be fair.
Yeah Exactly how I felt man
@@EE-wu7kz daily quests weren't essential though. I mean i only did dailies for either rep in wotlk for the enchantments or in TBC to get gold in isle of quel'danas (dont remember the exact name). WQ now are essential to progression and they just suck. Even in Legion after some time people were done with them. Personally i am quitting BFA aswell. Even in WoD i had more fun especially for the first 2-3 months and in BRF (it was awesome). Also fury warrior with 1handed weapons was a thing
In what way are world quests essential to the game if not to get rep? If you don't care about rep you could skip world quests completely.
I agree WoD was actually pretty good the first 1-2 months of the game.
Main war campaing is based on 7th legion / horde part reputation. Patchfinder similarily. The main EQ piece (neck) ilvl is mostly boosted by getting rep with Bronzebeard faction which can only be gotten by farming world quests. The whole "artifact power" is in big part connected to world quests, because other options of getting it are usually mindless grinding stuff.
All in all, world quests were always quite boring. In Legion though, they gave you atleast a small amount of thrill, while now they are just simply a chore. Its like its Legion 0.5 for the BFA, not only in World quests, but also in other things.
Everytime i think about going back it seems that the pile of shit has gotten bigger.
Sums up my views as well. Since WoD, I've known, even when I want to try it again, I cannot trust blizzard to not take a bunch of money and then leave me with nothing to do after a single month.
No worries, it is just a bunch of useless crybabies that cannot do anything but state their worthless opinion because they are not having fun anymore. The game is just fine, you are welcome to join.
I haven’t played since TBC. Is it that bad??
@@breadcat6454 no it isnt
Game has gone downhill since 2008.
Wrath of the Lich King pre-LFG/LFR- RIP never forget
It was never the same after that.
"The neckbeard has the power. The nub craves the power."
-Asmongold
My main problem is game is flagged as mmorpg and after 12 years playing it feals more and more like mmoarcade ... they removed proper skills after wotlk .. they removed hit skills and defense and weapon skills .... they removed resistance ... spell ranks ... like from expansion to expansion they just removing and removing staff what makes any good rpg actually rpg + all the problems you mention ... its sad that in 2018 i often log to kronos vanilla server and actually have more fun then in proper wow
the end of the true RPG aspect was when dodge, parry and spirit where all removed as actualy optainable stats infasvour of Versastiliy, reforging along qwith these stats gave players a choice in how they play
SO TRUE! Old WoW had a lot of rpg elements to it. There is just something about leveling your weapon skills even bare hand skills
It’s a Diablo game now. Not a mmorpg
Kronos is dead, roll on Northdale if you are just starting out.
Jimmy you mean they took out the rpg not the mmo.. destiny is a mmo.

Quin remembered his password Pog. Maybe now he will make some content.
Should've benched descry lad
Ayyyy the rat pack is here boys
Quin69 pls play diablo, wow is shit atm
This game went to shit many xpacs ago, there was nothing like swimming across the lake from Elwynn Forrest to Darkshire and being mauled apart by lvl 20 wolves (skulls when you're like lvl 6 or so). The little things like this, the sense of exploration and atmosphere have gone and Blizzard can never get that back. #RIP WoW
Yoo that was the shit. I started the game when the Mohawk grenade ad came out
Your wrong
I believe that youre wrong. The game can recover. Just change the game next xpac. Make it bard. Make it fulfilling. If they start a new thing rather than followinv the last 5 xpacs it will get better, even back to vanilla.
who's still here in 2023
2024 now :p
2026
I just want normal loot back. I want vendors back, I want to be able to reforge my gear so when I get a trash piece it can become not as trash. That's all I want.
Pandaria was a nice time, Just the thunderfarging was Trash But Over all i think MOP was the Last great expension
@@Hazelnaria Definitely
@@Hazelnaria i still dont understand how people can complain about mop. In my eyes mop felt like the last complete expansion. The balancing was great, awesome pve content, everyone had different professions (not alchemy bc the rest is useless), very less bugs compared to legion, big graphic improvement, i play since classic and i never missed out an expansion and i never had so much fun like in mop. Wod was clearly the shittiest expansion. I also think legion wasnt that shit at all. I had much fun in pve (first time in my life bc i had no fun anymore in pvp due to unbalanced classes). Ofc many things should have been improvement. But many good things came into game. Magetower challange, artefactskins, mythic +, orderhall with their awesome class questlines for all classes and i enjoyed them all.
I don't think vendors alone will make the game enjoyable... there is no innovation for content anymore.
zomgpeoplestolemname dude, why did they remove reforging I’m still fucking triggered over that...
I came into this expansion thinking it was going to be PvP focused, but it turned out to be grind focused.
Let's get 1 Million views for 24 hours stream
Here from the livestream, LETS GET 1 MIL VIEWS BOYS POG POG POG
I would rather grind boars in Elwynn Forest as a warrior in Vanilla than run around doing world quests in BFA. Doing world quests feels WAY more 'grindy' as well as boring and unfulfilling. The game play you have shown in this video emphasizes another reason why I feel BFA (and previous expansions) are bad - you don't have to focus or think about anything (eg. health, mana, etc). Just go gather up a bunch of mobs, roll your face over your keyboard, and you will kill them all. No thrill or challenge. No fear or possibly of dying and suffering the consequences. It's just shit. Like many people I have loved this game for 13+ years, but I have to be honest and say since Cata the game has worsened continually. I remember the hate towards MOP but compared to Legion and BFA, MOP was a masterpiece.
Heres a wq with 120-300 ap.... you need 20+k ap for next level...
@@DarkRavin07 so then dont farm it idiot. Once your neck hits lvl 23 you literally dont need to farm anymore AP.. and its not hard at all anymore to hit lvl 23 cause the ap reduction.
Stop complaining about content you think you HAVE to do when you really dont
@@DarkRavin07 the game is just a diablo copy paste. Its funny how years ago I was calling this game world of diablo because the hack n slash aspect of the game (basically every piece of relevant content is about killing everything in your path to collect loot) was so strong but now its literally diablo mmo version
I loved WoW when your character were nobody in Azeroth. Players were bunch of people who just went raiding or doing quest. Now, every player is a "Champion" the savior of Alliance or Horde. It breaks the immersion of the whole world which i fell love in a first place. I really liked how Kalimdor and Eastern kingdoms felt a huge world back then. Feeling that you just were one of the civilian who tried to become one of the powerfull person in Azeroth like Arthas, Jaina, Thrall or Muradin. One of the big things were socializing in the Chat. You have to communicate with people to actually achieve something. I think that was the gamechanger i MMORPG games in the first place. Now you just que in a random dungeon teleporting instantly to the dungeon. Everyone knows their role and no-one speaks a word while running the dungeon unless tank or healer fucks up. I've played the new expansion and i agree with you. It's not the same unique game anymore. Im sorry for my english, it's not my native language. :(
I totally agree with you. So much games now days try to lure you in with the you-are-hero crap. Too much of it brings a hero-crissis. Where the players feel like they are too powerfull and nothing else is improtant anymore. Everything loses its value and the heroes fall into the in-game depression.
To some extent the player has earned respect from the game itself. The player at high levels into the game has proven they are powerful and competent. By doing quests they have solved hundreds if not thousands of (sometimes) dire issues in the world. By the time you hit level 70 you have accomplished more than Jaina Thrall and Muradin combined.
@@ebolachanislove6072 Indeed! And that max level was really hard to achieve in the first place. I remember when i saw lvl 60 max players and admire them how much they have put effort to reach max level. Nowdays you can buy max level and heirlooms to boost your xp gain.
I began WoW on vanilla, stopped on WOTLK. And years after I stopped this game that gave me so much fun, and love for the adventure I was living, I tried BFA. And I absolutely agree with what you are saying. 100% My thoughts. There is no communication, you're not living the thrilling adventure you were living back when the game was actually difficult. When taking on a dungeon meant putting a team together, which took time, and being solid together. Communcating and living this adventure together. Grow together. Its ALL gone.
@@Matthiaslipknot For me that died in MoP. (Huh so did the story come to think of it.) I did my first dungeon as a tank and everything in the dungeon was being one shot by our hunter faster than I could charge to it. Then I tried an LFR run and the first boss was killed by the party before I (the tank) loaded into the instance.
18 hour stream Pog
Damn this is so sad. He hasn't made any videos during BFA... I was always looking forward to him releasing videos on the game but that's so long gone now.
he made on his zackrawr channel
The amount of things removed with BFA extremely out weigh the amount of things added, hard to feel it's even an expansion.
its just 7.5 bro..
Removed to add back in later. Call it content.
Like Ghost said on the web show with Preach they'll just re add it in an expansion and call it a selling point.
I mean is there anything NEW besides you know the zones you wont ever visit after getting exalted, except killing the world boss maybe once a week... The warfront which is shit, the island expedition which is shit.. Is there really anything new? Raids aren't a new concept, dungeons aren't a new concept, mythic + isn't a new concept, world quests isn't a new concept, the lore feels..just weird, I still hate the fucking horses. Incursions or however that's spelled that is coming up is just Legion invasions and nothing new..
Is there really something truly new like the warfront and island expedition in this expansion.. That's actually fun to do? No, the two CORE NEW stuff that they put out are both fucking horrendous, not fun and just truly garbage. And Blizzard wont change a thing about them since they're a bunch of delusional degens.
Blizzard reminds me of Lucille Bluth - “If that’s a veiled criticism of me, I won’t hear it, and I won’t respond to it.”
Props for the Arrested Development reference!
Hands down, Wrath of the Lich King was the peak, played WoW for the Lore, stayed for the challenges. Cataclysm was nice, but after that WoW became so unbalanced.
True but other expansions like mop and legion were really fun, wod was horrible but was still excited to play it, bfa and shadowlands are just bad
@@batratqqq I hated in Legion that they brought a character that was accepted dead as a main toon, these type of recons prove the small-indie company is out of ideas. MoP I heard it had great PvP but I mostly play for the lore and yet again it felt kinda odd because Panderans seemed like a mere joke from WC3 made into an entire expansion. Plus, from kinda "For the Horde" fella that was Garrosh, they made him into a bloodthirsty racist maniac autocrat that does stuff without sense and it kinda became the meta for the Horde that once in a few expansions you have to fight their leaders, and as a mainly Horde player it felt disappointing.
@@Ramiobomb yeah your right the they have been running out of ideas since mop imo but it’s hard to have really good ideas for so long but atleast the concept of the expansions was somewhat interesting back then
18 HOURS BOIS
"I took that failed test with a smile cos I knew later that day I was going home to buy my Season 4 Mace". This is the story of my twenties. Except substitute failed tests for suck-ass days at work.
Battle for Azeroth: the battle between the devs and community for the survival of our world
must refresh harder
BLAME BLI$$ARD, they died in 2008 when Activision acquired them.
That was around the point that a lot of the Blizzard founders left. Why stay after you've sold you're company for ...probably billions.
I don't blame them though.
That's when I quit.
Nah Wotlk, MoP and Legion where good expansions.
@@roccatsenseful Legion..? No. People find it good because it came after the worst-ever (WoD)
@@NationOfMasturbation Well thats true but Legion overall was a good exp imo and many others, besides all the lottery with rng like titanforging, artifact traits, legendarys etc it was a solid exp.
You can come in the last month of a given expansion and achieve and complete everything that people spent two years doing and I hate that.
Damn Surfer I mean, to a certain extent that Is unavoidable.
Flaming Galaxy - Osu, Binding of Isaac & More! In classic, bc, wotlk, cata it wasn’t. Mist started the whole ‘no child left behind’ mentality. Mist was fun don’t get me wrong I loved it, but the system they introduced hurt wow big time.
@@flaminggalaxy-osubindingof1283 in the current state of the game, but that's why I'm looking forward to classic.
@@fredrick1176 Im not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I'm referring to what Damn Surfer said. In games like destiny, they don't give you a catch up mechanism if you didn't play the expansion. With the way they have it now, I was able to play legion in the last month and I was able to catch up enough to people that I wasn't super far behind for BFA. If they didn't have this system, I would be forced to play legion by myself slowly until I was high enough to finally play BFA.
Wow died when i stopped being able to tell how good a character was just by the gear it is wearing, e.g. not the skill but the performance based on how much effort they were willing to put in
2024...
imo, your best and most timeless video
This happens with any creative industry. The talent and soul is sucked out by sales and marketing types and high-brown 'educated' developers that focus more on pushing boundaries and reinventing the wheel than providing players with what they want.
EVE Online has an elected CSM that acts as a medium between the developers and the community. Maybe WoW would benefit from something like this.
We need a Tribune of the plebs
eve online got bought out by same people who make blackdesertonline, rip eve online.
Truth be told, the Blizzard that made warcraft 3, Vanilla WoW and WotLK has veen ship of theseus'd into oblivion. Few if any of the original developers still work on it today, and from those that do even fewer have any sway in the direction the game follows...
high-brown HAHAHAHA
And that's why Eve is the best mmorpg ever created, eventho i just dont have time to play it and also my friends don't play it so.. Eve ain't that fun without friends.
I'm not biased either, ive played both mmorpgs...
wow vanilla,bc,wotlk
eve - ~2008-2013
difference between eve and wow...
Eve constantly and linearly grow and get better with every single update , wow is like a mentally unstable wife
I think there hasn't been a single patch/expansion in Eve wich wasn't wanted by the playerbase... (ok there's one.. captains headquarters, noone actually cared or wanted it... :D )
Activision games are slot machines...
This is Blizzard, not activision.
Its activision in disguise
U right
Hey Guys, 18 hr stream btw
Man what happoned to this guy? I feel like maybe possibly perhaps he should make more content
Release the Asmongold Cut of this video. I'd listen to you talk about this for 3 hours.
Just watch his stream, he does it every time :)
Its one cut bby
video starts at 0:00
So much passion... Spoken from his heart. I can aggree with every single word.
We are watching this same exact situation start to play out in Shadowlands. It's like he's talking about the current state of the game. Sad.
