Wow... another person saying the game is ending this expansion...again! How original and profound! And FALSE!!

It makes me sad, because i want to like retail WOW. I gave it another shot recently and felt so dang overwhelmed by it. It has become too fast paced and meta based for me. I miss the slower pace. The fast pace of retail stresses me out. Im really happy for the people that enjoy it though. Once my computer is finished being worked on, im going to be getting on the fresh classic server to re-experience the slower pace that i find relaxing. I dont think im going to even download questie to be honest. Kind of just wanting to play it by ear and go where the wind blows my character in the world.

How isnt this video more popular. really good takes

wow 2 wont happen man. i believe it would when they first announced the world soul saga, i imagined that was the reason they did it, because this game will end after that. but after i heard how they spoke about the game in their last interviews its quite obvious they wont do that, which sucks because that means we will not get rid of all the cringe bloat present in the game rn and we will also not get a real chance to repair the game

What a weird take man, why didn't you tell your friend to just play the main dragonflight campaign, there's a literal video showing you the story since Legion once TWW starts so after you're leveled up you have an idea of characters and events, also tell them to play WC3 or smth... This might be the worst wow hate I've seen, usually they at least try.

Unfortunately wow needs to die for it to succeed.

You are absolutely correct. Part of the problem is the "selfishness" in our current society. They play the game like it's a constant race to be "the best" and they have no understanding of a game that you can just enjoy at a slower pace and still be able to progress. The effort is gone for dungeons. Instead, it's been replaced with a pre-dungeon effort where you have to learn and know every single detail and be able to perform flawlessly at a super high pace with a group of people who want to rush through because they're chasing the shiny at the end. You used to have a conversation before a dungeon, discuss the plan, have a little party outside the entrance while everybody waited for the tank to show up. Make friends, share jokes, dance, and throw emojis out... people connected for the fun of the game instead of just rushing through to chase the next carrot being held out in front of them.

I haven't ever really enjoyed the story since Wrath. It was clear they ran out of ideas of what to do. There have been individual zones where i have really enjoyed the story, like Suramar in Legion and Uldum in Cata, but nothing like the original trilogy where i read all the quests. Then Blizzard started catering to the nonexistent "modern audience", making all the female characters unattractive and moving everyone toward androgyny. As soon as you watch the War Within video of a powerful black female with one eye and one arm, you can see they have no desire to be serious storytellers anymore and are just chasing their activist fans for those ESG dollars. I think the worst part of retail though is how it just tries to rush you through everything-the leveling, the story, the endgame. It makes it feel like a job instead of a respite from my job. I don't despise retail, there is still a lot to like. But it sucks at enticing new players that don't have ADHD to play the game and stick with it. I completely agree they need to get rid of all the pay to win, level boosts, and WoW tokens. Make enticing content that is actually fun and relaxing and people will keep that sub going a lot longer than playing the new expac for 2 weeks and then quitting again.

Modern WoW is a bloathed mess, a miss-mash of retcons, re-hashes and do-overs. It's just a jumbled up cluster F that doesn't know what it is or what it wants to be. It's not an MMORPG anymore, it's a Semi-MMO collectaton with a hard focus on single player experience. This is why I prefer Classic, it's an MMORPG, where the world is the main character... It's alive and dangerous, and it doesn't care if you do or you don't. But Modern WoW on the other hands, feels more like you are led through a theme-park to see every ride and attraction it has on offer. It looks shiny, but it's all just smokes and mirror under the hood, and not ''real'' like how the game used to be in the Classic format.

FFXIV is more than cat gurls.

True on the game feeling too much like a game. Agree with most of what u said but that one man, that made me feel like im playing a god damn google store game

Try season of discovery!

I wish I had this level of blissful arrogance and entitlement. post a video on RUclips about MY* experiences and feelings about wow but sharing them as factual reality. The delusion.

good video

Typo in your title renders every opinion and thought you have void and irrelevant. Edit* Having listened to this, I can confirm every take you have thus far is contradicting. i.e you’ll get questie for classic so you know what todo. But you won’t get addons for retail to know what todo?? Retail requires players to hyper optimize more that classic and sounds like you can’t handle the hyper optimizations. You talk about tanking in hardcore classic. Blah blah. You made a friend… you can’t make friends in retail? And how can you really even compare hardcore and retail in regards to communication with others??? The reason people leave m+ is time efficiency… the reason people talk so much in hardcore is ALSO time efficiency… Now you’re talking about golddddd lol. You have zero clue what the actual fuck is going on. Classic was and is along with retail pay to win with gold via gdkp or boosts… classic and retail along with literally every game ever is pay to advance or pay to win. Every point you make is nullified by you not having deeper knowledge of understanding. There is more than what you see. You shouldn’t pass off how things make you FEEL as fact. On a positive note, the only thing you said with any remote hint of sense or validity is the new player experience in regards to questing and leveling up is very fragmented. But that’s why even blizzard suggest new players start with dragon flight into tww. Not chromie time.

2nd video im watching from your channel, great content brother!!! gta4 pure masterpiece, mafia 2 could've been one. love both. Never played neither on Pc, always console.

I think this video brings up a lot of good point. I've been into gaming for a very long time, and I've observed the negative trends in contemporary gaming since their inception. As for price, the base purchase price for a game is a relative bargain when inflation is taken into account. AAA games were around $40 in the early 1980s. Buying a game back then was a significant event, as few people could afford more than a handful. Naturally, piracy was rampant. Production costs are a lot higher now, but production and distribution are far easier. Furthermore, the potential audience nowadays is a lot larger. Due to efficiencies and economies of scale, it makes sense that games should be significantly less expensive (when adjusted for inflation) than they were in the 1980s, but maybe modest price increases for some games could be justified, especially for high quality, big budget games that haven't jumped on the microtransaction bandwagon. Games that are impressive failures may seem to get more notice than they deserve. On RUclips, there certainly is a negativity bias. There are reasons for this. People have always been fascinated by colossal failures. When I was in college, I used to get together with friends to watch movies on occasion. We would go to the video store and look for the worst-looking movie we could find. There is a particular sort of enjoyment that comes from something that is so bad that it is funny. Game failures are fascinating to watch from the outside. A game like Gollum might not be fun to play, but it is fun to watch the train wreck. I have never played Fallout 76, but it sure was fun to watch as disaster after disaster happened in the weeks and months after it launched. There is nothing new about impressive game failures. One of the most infamous of all time is E.T., which is the symbol of the Crash of 1983. When it comes to games like Starfield, where a reasonable person can find both failures and successes, people seem to get angrier than they do with games like Gollum. Few people who had even heard of Gollum or Rise of Kong prior to release had any expectations for these games, so when they turned out to be failed messes, they didn't fail to meet expectations. Starfield, on the other hand, came from a developer that had previously released games now widely regarded as classics. Despite the troubles with Fallout 76, which should have been seen as a warning sign, the hype train got built up and expectations went through the roof. After release, the game failed to meet expectations that were unreasonably high given Bethesda's current state, and the hype train gave way to the rage train after a month or so. I haven't played Starfield yet, so I can't make a final judgment, but it looks like the game has acquired the taint of mediocrity. This can feel worse than a thoroughly failed game. If it had been a total disaster, the rage would have built quickly and burned out quickly, and then people would have been laughing at it, much like the trajectory of responses to Fallout 76 in the time shortly after release. With reactions to Starfield, I see a lot of disappointment, and the game isn't enough of a failure to be funny, so the rage never gives way to catharsis. This isn't the first time I've seen a once loved game developer go into a perceived state of decline and disappoint fans. Unfortunately, this trajectory tends to lead to catastrophic failure, as happened with Electronic Arts subsidiaries Origin Systems (Ultima IX), and Maxis (SimCity 2013). Hopefully, Bethesda can pull out of this before a studio-ending fiasco happens. Starfield has sold well and has made money for the company, so Bethesda still has a future. Hopefully, they will listen to criticism. If the next game is tainted with the stench of mediocrity, or if it fails catastrophically, gamers might finally start withholding their money.

american dream = bowling with Roman

indie games with incredible value may honestly be doing a lot of the heavy lifting keeping AAA pricing somewhat in check

The price increase is a dumb argument. Gaming companies push out 60 dollar games that aren't finished anymore, then they patch on the back end hopefully, and they throw micro transaction, DLC, and content locked behind a key thats already on the disc. Companies are posting record profits while letting more and more workers go, so no screw the higher price point.

Like any industry it's bound to grow to the point the giants of the industry sooner or later get too caught up in financial gain. Which leads to worse products/services. But in the end there will always be more than just those handful of big companies/brands. There's thousands of indie games releasing every week, and at least a few of them are actually pretty great. People just get too invested in hating and forget to have fun. If you're not happy with the quality and experience of playing the latest ubisoft games, play quite literally anything outside of your comfort zone.

Everyone out here playing some new released overhyped game on steam meanwhile I'm out here enjoying my indie games and Japanese visual novels People such narrow mindset :b

Honestly switching to pc was one of the best decisions I've made. One of my discord friends has recommended so many Playstation games and I never got to play any until I got to pc

damn might fuck around and try this game myselfe

I, for one, am NOT going to call you dum for stating the players' fault in the decline of quality gaming. There are people who not only pay for, but praise that gamepass ransomware that xbox is pushing. Cheap, entitled manchildren that can't fork over the cash for a good game, but at the same time cannot control themselves and MUST play the latest trash fire in their favorite series. They want their cake and eat it too. For f*** sake, there are people who bought the Google f-ing Stadia. If that doesn't tell you how braindead moronic gamers are, I don't know what will.

I was heavily into WoW back when Wrath of the Litch King came out...since then my PC isn't powerful enough. So I've played MMORPGs on PS4. Neverwinter was cool until they made it all about the money. FFIV was awesome but too much reading for me in the first 50 hours. I found a sweet spot with Elder Scrolls. I really love that game and if you loved WoW but don't have a PC, Elder Scrolls ticks the boxes 👍

This is a very insightful video. I'm a middle aged gamer at 46. I've been gaming since I was very young and I am amazed at how good the games are now, compared to "Frogger" on the Acorn Electron 😂 I fall into a niche category of gamers. I only buy a Call of Duty title to play Zombies 🧟‍♂️

gee mentioning practically everything but XVI

I think gamings biggest problem is copium...lemme explain...a lot of genre defining studios lost creativity over time and releases mediocre stuff like starfield while bethesda used to be rpg gods....look at ubisoft they made far cry 3 which was an awesome game and they never even tried to change anything about farcry games( 5 far cry games came out since) or also assassin's creed...everyone used to love assassin's creed and now its the most boring uncreative piece of trash...and that is why some people were saying that spiderman2 got robbed over the goty award against baldurs gate 3 (i bet spiderman 2 is a decent game but i played spiderman 1 and the dlc and it looks the same with extra abilities) And as you can see...all these mediocre games still sell and people still buy them cuz they are on hard copium..also need for speed is the same lmao

people don't play good games and complain how gaming is dead

We make gaming a much bigger deal than it has to be. I fall to impressions of others when it comes to games but I manage to keep it in check to enjoy what I like.

absolutely agree sir (sh2 music bussin as well)

Hunter rotations in classic are sufficient. Trinket swapping, melee weaving, and auto clipping are all engaging. The main hiccups occur when feign doesn’t drop combat and you are stuck in your starting trinkets. A great change would be a true feign death on a 5min cooldown, which would guarantee combat is dropped.

An idea I thought of while watching some HC wow stream. What if blizzard added a feature that had zones progress throughout the phases. For example duskwoods corrupting over time. In phase one it’s a calm nice town…even get to see a friendly stalvan…then by phase 3-4 it goes to complete shit like in current wow.

You can join Turtle Wow to see how vanilla+ must be done

Have you thought of working with a private server with your ideas? I don't know if Blizzard will do a Classic + game, I would love to see it, but there are a number of private servers that have put their own spin on the Classic +. Also, nice ideas, this game does capture people imagination :), looking forward to the next video.

This is so detailed it’s actually a detriment lol no way blizzard can plagiarize any of the good ideas 😂😭

Very cool video and ideas I hope at blizzconn they announce classic plus

good ideas :)

Nice video!

Yoo, nice video. Scared me a bit, but if current end game raids remain end game the ideas are really nice.

Good video brotherman <3
