I agree with every single thing you said in this video. Karamel update and the removal of preenchants was the beginning of the downhill spiral that pvp would become. They were on the right path to fixing pvp until this point. Roshambo was the final nail in the coffin though. Us players just couldn’t take it.
i swear i think about this everyday.... its almost like the devs are fully aware of everything they do. finding and forcing ways upon us to spend more money to continue doing what we once enjoyed.
I think its wild af that content creators are destroying the game this hard.... i might make a video myself about that alone. You have two content creators who are just ignoring the community and being toxic and talking down onto them. actually cringe and bad for the community.
they are controlled by petulant adult children such as ratbeard, a guy notorious for not taking any constructive criticism positively. If those two content creators ever dare push back against what the almighty ratbeard says, they'll get thrown out and find the next brown-noser to help market the game for them.
Thank you so much for giving a positive outlook on the intention of the table. 🙏 A handful of people were being disingenuous about our complaints with the game of it simply, "devs dont listen" yes this is technically true as to how we feel but to go out and throw shots for, "not making a positive video on the recent nightmare changes" on stream is very silly, its childish, and simply just tone deaf, as our concerns were not of the just Nightmare dungeon, its a handful of issues that interconnected Added note: plus everyone has lives outside of wiz, the news came suddenly for a lot of us. Sorry for not being on Wiz and know about the news 24/7
Balance main here. Recently did a lot of pvp, mirror matches are won by whoever has higher spellemented hydra and if you get brace maycasts. Every single balance does the same exact thing they use 3 maybe 4 spells, mana burn, nova, hydra, maybe king art. They don't even go for shads they just dark surge to hydra more. So boring, lacking creativity, yet it is the most optimal way to play. Meta gear cannot be all raid gear and one world gear, I find it so interesting how even without talking to others everyone arrives at the same consensus for what gear is meta. It goes to show that there is a lack of balancing that makes differently spread stats and strategies viable. Right now with raid gear its possible to get perfect stats accross the board without sacrificing anything. KI releases changes without being ready to follow them up. Like the PVP leagues were released ages ago and tournaments and multi wizard pvp is still not back, aoe spellements are still not figured out, and we still don't have easier ways to get spellements. Personally I think the direction and vision for the game and pvp is good but the execution is lacking.
One key part of PvP to me back in the day was, even when you lost u still got arena tickets that could craft gear and "help you get better". Today theres literally no incentive to pvp which has made the queue even sweatier imo. bring back craftbale pvp gear!
2 weeks later and I'm finally doing 3 nightmare runs a day to unlock the badge so i can craft the gear for other wizards if i ever decide to level them
I think one way they could help with this would be to add back low lvl pvp - such as magus pvp. It would let people who are casual players / just starting Wiz to pvp at a lvl cap that isnt 50 (where roshambos are then introduced) and the play style would likely be similar to OG wiz when lvl 50-60 was the lvl cap (OG players would love this). But more importantly, it would allow low lvl players to experience a form of advanced content before they are forced to do dungeons such as aeon dungeons or the nightmare dungeon.
I’d love if 80 and below were on the old PvP system. I used to PvP a lot when 60,70,80 were max levels. Nowadays the game is so confusing it’s not really appealing to come back at all. Idk how current players feel about the roshambo system but from what I’ve seen I’m not a fan.
Yeah tournaments would be great again, no idea why they were removed. Im sure many would like to practice, before possibly losing rank to a point of no return, and tainting characters that they've spent years grinding.
Great video man I do wish though more people would make video regarding the packs because if there's not enough talk about the p2w/pack gambling situation they're just gonna pretend it doesnt exist which just hurts the game even more
The game needs to be given back to those who inspired it’s creation. Children not adults or teens or college students . Children . Children have so little in this world to call their own. This used to be something they could. Adults, adolescents should feel ashamed they hijacked this from them. My nephew used to constantly talk about wizard this wizard that. Now he just doesn’t bother. He says players are rude, self invested, and just flat out selfish. And, as a rather clever 9 year old says it isn’t for children anymore. I see the dim look in his eyes whenever we discuss what used to be Wizard101
Hrm, I like the idea of spells having additional effects when certain conditions are met. It makes the idea of dual schooling a lot more appealing. Using the effects of one side school to make your school's spells even better. Just like how most card games work. I think the issue is "overcomplicating" cards. When making a card game, simpler cards are always better. When you overcomplicate a card with too many niche effects, you get a card that's only half good. This is me looking at this as a card game though.
Gamingo will never allow the devs to do anything remotely healthy for the game. They want to milk the players for money until they get tired of their bs and then they’ll shut down servers like rift!
Roshambo isnt the problem, the concept is good. KI's horrible balancing is what makes peev horrible. hydra, vampire, centaur, shield gambits all need extreme nerfs.
Starting watching your content this week, loving it! Used to play back in 2012. Getting nostalgia watching videos about wizard101. Any thoughts on getting back into it or it’s not worth playing?
I came back to wiz and got my death to max woth full aeon gear but i still havent tried the nightmare or the guild system. Tbh i probably won't end up doing either guilds or the nightmare since the investment seems way higher than the rewards from raids and the dungeon
I might quit after whooping malisatire's butt raids, anything pet related, idea of having to use discord and etc to just progress in end games make me want to quit instantly to top it all off you got some wiz content creator saying its a skill issue bro i pray for him theres so much more to life than just wiz
I don't get the point of people complaining that raids are so hard that you need guides for them. Literally every other game that has raids of some kind are like this. They're supposed to be something that needs coordination and can't just brute force through them like you can with the main story fights. It's not something that should really be completed within a day of trying it most of the time. I'm not saying that they need to be super difficult that you need to be absolutely perfect, but they also need to be something more than just blade once or twice then aoe or scald and incindiate.
I despise how hard it is to get to be able to pvp. I remember when all I needed was a triple double and some decent gear. Now I need to either A. Spend tons of money. Or B. Spend a unreasonable amount of time on the game. I do miss the old days when the game was much simpler to the average joe. Bring back legendary and magus PvP and all spells PvP
once again nightmare and raids are optional KI is not forcing you to do them. An MMORPG is designed to get progressively harder which the community currently doesn’t understand. KI been spoon feeding 170 wallaru gear and people like you still complain its kinda sad
The average player won’t want to do a dungeon like this fifteen times. I did it 25 times. I may be part of the sweatiest 5%, but I will always stand up for the 95% who just want to play the game without having to do the most annoying dungeon ever released
I've done the nightmare dungeon 15 times in standard mode. Just waiting for update to craft gear. I really didn't think it was that bad, only thing was the laggy broken dreams at times, other than that, yes, it's a skill issue... man all this heat over him basically saying skill issue? What if its objectively true. They're removing some broken dreams too right? so getting caught by lag should in theory be less frequent. Idk, I have no complaints. Nightmare standard was ezpz tbh. First 5 runs were rough but once I learned the dungeon i truly felt rewarded after then optimizing playthroughs. I also got pretty lucky in teams up tho, people knew what they were doing, and people who hadn't done the dungeon were willing to learn and stay. Just my take, I just dont wanna see the community all mad at each other.
@IceGoldPvP it's a shame. So much potential in a overhaul of graphics and mechanics. The chat restrictions and everything. It would attract so many new people
Yeah Wizard101 really changed and not the good way I’m not a PvP guy but the thing is the best gear for me to easily breeze through locked by a paywall and through raids really took a toll even though I don’t gamble a lot and save my money and such and done the nightmare dungeon once just to get the quest out of the way, it does not feel fun anymore I only played through just to max my wizards out until then not playing this until the game feels more enjoyable guess I’ll play some pirate101 in the meantime and such

they wanna say pre enchants made a barrier to entry then they add raids 💀
i swear i think about this everyday.... its almost like the devs are fully aware of everything they do. finding and forcing ways upon us to spend more money to continue doing what we once enjoyed.
they should add more tc's as trainable spells
I think its wild af that content creators are destroying the game this hard.... i might make a video myself about that alone. You have two content creators who are just ignoring the community and being toxic and talking down onto them. actually cringe and bad for the community.
Totally agree! Would love to see a video of that!

pre enchant = barrier to entry
Hoard packs with best in slot gear and raids= MASSIVE BARRIER to entry
Gamingo will never allow the devs to do anything remotely healthy for the game. They want to milk the players for money until they get tired of their bs and then they’ll shut down servers like rift!
Roshambo isnt the problem, the concept is good. KI's horrible balancing is what makes peev horrible. hydra, vampire, centaur, shield gambits all need extreme nerfs.
for centaur- needs to be nerfed to 3 traps instead of 4.
great vid man
Starting watching your content this week, loving it! Used to play back in 2012. Getting nostalgia watching videos about wizard101. Any thoughts on getting back into it or it’s not worth playing?
Who else spends 10 dollars a year, plays the new world. Then quits for 11 and half months??
People who just play for the story and to hit the new level cap
I came back to wiz and got my death to max woth full aeon gear but i still havent tried the nightmare or the guild system. Tbh i probably won't end up doing either guilds or the nightmare since the investment seems way higher than the rewards from raids and the dungeon
I think a video of your group completing those hard raids would be cool
I've got raid highlights up on the channel 😎
PRE ENCHANTS CREATE A BARRIER TO ENTRY LMFAOOOO BRO DO THEY SEE THE GAME THAT THEY HAVE CREATED???
LMAOOOO THATS SO TRUE
A few minutes of time and some gold for pre-enchants VS 200 dollars or 100 key boss fights for spellements 😭
I might quit after whooping malisatire's butt raids, anything pet related, idea of having to use discord and etc to just progress in end games make me want to quit instantly to top it all off you got some wiz content creator saying its a skill issue bro i pray for him theres so much more to life than just wiz

I'd love a classic mode. Id support it
i'd probably play the game finally if the 15 year old content wasn't paywalled STILL for some reason... i really dont see why arc 1 is still not free
I've herd about revamps and remakes, is any of that true?
Not currently. Some have tried to get remakes off the ground but it'll never happen as long as the official game is up and running
