  • Asmongold watches the latest MadSeason's video; his decision has nothing to do with the recent Blizzard Lawsuit and investigation but more with what happened in Classic WoW, Classic TBC and Shadowlands in the past couple of years...

The news of the lawsuit showing how deep these issues have run and bled into the games performance and the community. Really hurts watching all these dots being connected and just being left to watch to fallout of the company I once loved and wanted to work for. Its a shame.

      I was part of that era with you, along with millions of other people. It wasn’t just a game, it was a period of all our lives that we shared together. Like when I look back at the old days of wow, I’m not just thinking of a game, but also the carefree kid I was at the time, and all the friends and memories I made. Like they say, you don’t miss something until it’s gone.

    The graphics in WoW were simplistic even at launch in 2004 but they had a consistent style and ran on a wide range of hardware and they looked artistically good for the rendering cost. Back then you could already do bump mapping on some GPU hardware. Games of that era that showed this included Halo 2 and Riddick Butcher Bay. WoW avoided that but they had some interesting use of blended multi-texture and particle effects to pull off an interesting look. It was not "good" by the best standards of the time but they had vastly more 3D content that just about any other title.

      I've enjoyed Asmon's content for years and he's a master at what he does. He perfectly understands streaming, digestible content and his overall reach. He is extremely charismatic and entertaining but for anyone with a slightly above average vocabulary you will realize he's very pseudo-intellectual. Uses big words to amplify his points when the foundation of his idea isn't strong enough to support itself. The fact he has no genuine idea about global economy/living standards shouldn't surprise anyone - he's a millionaire playing from his bedroom in Texas. All credit to him for making himself what he is today but his unwavering fanboys actually believing he is some all-enlightened, 150iq genius is ridiculous. He's about as uncultured as they come lol

      You said that you earned 70 cents per hour, so it would take you ~57 hours to be able to purchase a boost.... 200 hours > 57 hours.
      Of course, someone earning 70 cents per hour probably isn't going to be paying for a game with sub, but he was kinda exaggerating to prove a point and explain why no one is bothering to level.

      @@electricant55 "cease" haha wow... at once m'lord! True neckbeard assertiveness. I honestly wasn't trying to come across as pretentious or intellectually superior (because I'm not) my point was that Asmon has a massive global reach with many loyal fans that he has influence over. Many of his takes, especially on less established countries than the US, are completely misguided but have now probably shaped the opinion on some if not many of his follower. Which isn't his fault, he's just a chilled guy that is making a living doing what he loves but people elevate what he says simply because he's popular - so when it's misinformation on any global topic it's not ideal. Do you disagree? Or maybe I should just CEASE like its 1738, m'liege.

    I had the same take-away from this Madseasonshow video as Asmongold. Over the last 7 or so years, I've periodically mused with friends that we could come back to WoW when we're all retired, and raid from the comfort of our retirement homes. Even while joking, there was no doubt in my head that it would be an actual option to us, even decades from now. Obviously, I didn't keep track of the changes that Blizzard made since I left. This was very illuminating, to say the least. Now I feel like the time I got an imported chocolate bar as a kid, and saved it until it was waaaay past its expiration date. I feel like I didn't fully enjoy WoW while it was great. There were so many things I was hoping to eventually do, but now there's no value in doing it. After watching this, I'm not even sure that I would even enjoy a virtual walk down memory lane. Man.

I also underestimate how many players play games now to have "shared streamer experiences" AKA there is a large portion of folks that play a game that their favorite streamers play just to be like them and have a chance to meet them. I dont think its an extremely small group of folks either. Unless the wow team makes some radical changes for the next expac, and let it bake awhile, i think the game is really only one expac away from dead.

Tirion still broke free, shattered frostmourne and delivered the final blow to Arthas. He was unable to resurrect us because arthas was almost finished turning us into ghouls. Our bodies were already too gone to be saved. From here you could kinda pretend shadowlands was the end of the death dream and you awaken in the real shadowlands and find a way back to azeroth. Or, redo shadowlands and have us just wake up there, OR just forgo everything after WotLK and chalk it up to fever dream, and we start cataclysm, or whatever else, and begin the opening cutscene with a celebration/memorial for the fallen heroes and Tirion after the fall of the lich king. Bolvar, albiet, unknown to the public, is still wrestling with Ner'Zul for the rest of eternity. As for Sylvanas, no amount of retcon can make me unhate her.... except maybe retcon her being saved by the Val'Kyr after throwing herself off icecrown. Just end her. She is already ruined. Garrosh can be redeemed. Potentially. To paraphrase Asmon, I want to play games that are really fucking good.

      @Honudes Gai yes or no.
      One problem is that there's been a dearth of competition - serious competition - attempts in the MMO space for the last 10 years or so because everything that tried was crushed by WoW. So the games being made right now are in the best place to capitalize on its fall, but since it wasn't really obvious WHEN WoW would fall (it was obvious it was on the way out, but it being NOW was the question mark), none may be being made right now in a great place to release soonish and actually compete for that market.
      For example, there are a lot of PvP focused ones on the way that are supposed to "save MMOs", but PvP is only one aspect of MMOs. Ashes of Creation I'm excited for, but it strikes me a lot like Eve. I love Eve, but it's not everyone's cup of tea having to watch over your shoulder when you to out to mine because you could be ganked, and when you finish mining and are transporting your ore to a Starbase/Station/Outpost (in AoC, a town/city) and your convoy can be attacked and destroyed raided. That's not for everyone - and I'd wager it's not FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. Even with WoW being a more PvP focused game, its greatest strength is consistently in its raids, which are good to this day and are one of the few things almost always praised about the game, and I'm not sure AoC or New World is going to scratch that itch given their greater focus on the PvP world aspect.
      So in theory, WoW's fall could open the doors for a lot of innovative new MMOs to try and figure out what exactly players WANT...
      ...but remember, "inertia" is a thing in MMOs. If you're already playing one or know friends who are, you're more likely to join and play that one. So FFXIV is already in a place where it's attracting lots of WoW refugees to it as a new home. Meaning a new MMO after that has to figure out now just how to appeal to them and also to be good, but it must also figure out how to be appealing ENOUGH it overcomes their inertia to just stay with FFXIV.

    "What can't you buy with Real Money? Mount drops I guess? " - Asmongold
    Sadly, you can just buy tokens and buy mounts OR containers from the BMAH. I watch people do it all the time. They just spend money and get the rarest .1%-1% mounts. Nothing like watching a youtuber get all my rare mounts in a matter of months just by swiping, that took me 15 years of constant grinding to get. I feel like shit for spending so much time grinding mounts...just to see others buy all the mounts in an auction house.

      I commented something similar on another video but I was just confused because normally no one really cares about the shit practices of a company. Shit like what Nestle does or popular clothing brands using sweatshops in foreign countries. Don't get me wrong it is still fucked up what they did to their employees but do people only care more because it is something happening in the US or because their products have also been shit? For me personally I stopped playing months ago because the content was stale and a balance patch my class desperately needed wasn't getting pushed until 9.1 with no date in sight so I quit altogether and I don't know if these allegations against Blizzard would have made me stop playing if I didn't hate the state of the game.
      I also find it hilarious that the company which condemned 2 people for unproven allegations by removing their content in the game want the benefit of the doubt when it happens to them.

    I never thought I'd see the day, at least not so soon, where it's a very real possibility this game could die and not recover to the #1 MMO position. Think about it, all the content creators are leaving for newer fresher games with less drama and conspiracy. The game has a terrible reputation now, more so than ever, and people don't even want to be associated with it. The blizzard workers are overworked and mistreated which also doesn't seem to be getting better unless the trial does something. So future content likely will be of the same quality as recent years. In short, wow needs to do something drastic like rebrand with wow2 and new leadership or it might actually die

    as a person that joined wow in legion, I am sad to say I joined in the end of what was wow. I too recognize the strengths of vanilla, tbc (which when I was a kid looked so intriguing and awesome- really wanted to play the game back then), wotlk which like classic had an awesome structure, Cata (which again thrilled me to shits when my best bud told and showed it to me, and seemed similar to tbc in gameplay mechanics and layout), mists (which took a hit in the story by the end, personally and also suffered from kung fu panda syndrome), wod (awesome questing, leveling but was crippled by bad mechanics and poor planning in the end) and legion (the purely amazing end to an unbelievably long and fantastic journey, though also came short in some of the mechanics departments, but was ok. suffered slightly from issues in end game dungeons imho).
    Bfa and shadowlands has continued to build on what made wod and legion so tedious and unrewarding. sure the quests and story was pretty damn alright, though many flaws can be pointed out in the core plot of bfa and sl. sl introduced more of the little things to do, but at the core gameplay was just garbage and not well tuned, especially bad in pvp.
    the absolute worst part in later years is the way the game is structured to force you to have a sense of urgency to get to the end of the game in order to enjoy it. Gone are the days, in huge contrast to classics release where you can progress horizontally as well as vertically.
    You could take time to read quests, go back and forth. Gameplay was to be found for everyone, not just those that had finished the main grind. leveling is no longer an achievement. its no longer about the journey. questing was not awesome by itself, but you felt accomplishment for every step you took. completing a dungeon, finding the secrets within while acquiring stronger than usual gear in order to stand out and steamroll normal quests afterwards is completely lacking these days.
    There is no longer a gear piece that you can loot that you feel like you just got in your hands a relic, a weapon or armor piece that was specifically there for a reason, for you to find that makes you so so much stronger, gives your character debt and has a story behind it both in lore and in real life as to how you as a person got this item. The same goes for the mounts. The talents you learned along the way felt like your character just had a revelation after just barely getting by after taking on a pack of six wolves, or a particularly strong and badass opponent, after completing a quest for someone or for discovering something.
    That sensation when you meet another player that is doing the same as you, and you both compete for the same resources. Sure its' not the most fun experience then and there, and you might lose out. But come on, looking back, these interactions were some of the most flavorful in the game as a whole. "hehe look look, I'm gonna jump this guy if he thinks he can take my flower ... f***k he's five levels above..! Run run run run!". That moment you are minding your own business picking up mushrooms in barrens as a random dude runs past you with a herd of horse-people coming at him. and of course you got spooked, your reflexes got the better of you and you died as a result of it. however just afterwards you are greeted with a short and hearty "thanks bro" from the dude that ran past. You might have later seen him again and managed to get by your first dungeon together. Perhaps you meet him again, and again, or you became friends. companions even. soon you both were part of the same guild, adventuring together with others that also were just as silly. Logging onto wow wasn't a chore, it was adventure, friendships, passion. Through both thick and thin.
    I want to close with saying the only place I've seen similar passion is on RP servers, and honestly the reason I became into RP. I no longer trust Blizzard to be able to give me that sense of adventure, and I take it upon myself to create or find it myself with others of the same mindset.
    RP is very much like dungeons and dragons, you make the game you want to play, instead of waiting for Blizzard to give you what you want.

      Don't underestimate the amount of copium people can come up with. To be honest I get it. Once you invested so much time into a game. Made friends along the way. It is hard to realize that the game just isn't what it used to be. That the people creating the game, are not the same people anymore. That the company has fundamentally changed. To be honest though in 15 years time, it only to be expected that the game would change, that people change and that the company would change. What was not to be expected (in my humble opinion) is that all the changes over the 15 years would turn out bad in the end.
      Time after time, people have tried to explain to Blizzard they were going the wrong way. Blizzard never listened. I assume part of the reason is that a part of the crowd was also waving a big bundle of bucks. It is hard to hear well meant criticism if you have money dangling in front of you, especially for a stock market listed company (of any kind for that matter, its not just Blizzard)
