Nan I don't think so. On toxic people like him you need to go ballistic all that way that they learn faster. Content creator like that guy is what community should avoid at all costs because he makes shiet in his own nest. Especially on this pos. I heard about him few times already when he made same thing to other people just because. If I had the opportunity to copyright strike him I will do it without a second thought just to delate his channel out of existence for what he done to other content creators just because he forgot his medicine.

Self reflection was possibly the most important thing i learned as an adult. Also, just learning to at least entertain the thought that you could be wrong.
It's so hard when you're right as often as I am! bahahaha Seriously though, you're exactly right, just allowing for the idea that you might be wrong goes a long way toward keeping your ego in check, and your karma pointed in the right direction.
You are a real one Xillin. Very proud to be a Subscriber to your channel. I loved your advice to him, judgement of his actions, your attempt to meet him at his level of exposure with a personal story, and all without total condemnation in perpetuity. You are acting like a good leader. Can't wait to see you in action in a live Ashes of Creation. Be well Xillin!
This kind of happened to me in ESO. I was in a guild, and they liked to raid. I was in the discord, and I would occasionally raid as a tank. I didn't know the raids, so I'd ask for a quick, what do you want me to do and I'd just do it. I learned quick so I wasn't worried about struggling too much. They asked in discord why people wouldn't join. And I said "hey I like yall, but I don't like to play a meta tank so I don't want to be the guy who's going in and playing a more selfish playstyle since I know raids are a group effort." They ended up saying I was a bad tank, I was full of myself, the wife of the guild leader mocked what I said and said ""I like you guys" oh yeah you like us but you hate playing with us and playing the content we are trying to complete." And them before I could really say much besides "I've been raiding with other guilds and I've improved a ton since I last raided with you guys." They kicked me out of the guild and the discord and berated me all because I said I didn't raid because I have a selfish playstyle. And they asked for my honesty only to shoot me down and call me trash, and kick me out. After that I haven't really raided since because I don't want to be apart of that toxic culture in that game. So I do understand the feeling of being berated by your guild. And as the tank I feel it's worse because you also get berated during the raid for any mistakes, for dying, for pulling too much, for not holding aggro and a squishy gets 1 hit (mind you ESO has a single target aggro ability not AOE aggro abilities)
I dont know Jahlon, but i was present in the discord discussion and i remember him being the only one asking really good and solid questions, but steven avoided him all the time. It was so hillarious that i wanted to DM Jahlon at some point, if they have something personal going? And he wasnt toxic either aside from a "lol" staring his argument. No one would react another way considering stevens answers. Anyway, lets wait for alpha 2 and see how it plays out.
I always say that I am the dumbest smart person I know, and I do that to remind myself that I am. Humility is very important, and hopefully Jallon will learn that lesson. I have a very similar story in regards to him that you do, and it did not surprise me one but when I found out he was the one that did that to Narc.
I remember when I first started covering ashes, I got several comments telling me to stop making videos as this is "Jahlon's" space or something along those lines. No idea if it was random community members, or alt accounts of his or what. Regardless, I was curious so I checked his stream out. Turned out to be the most toxic place I have ever been on Twitch haha. Never watched his content ever again. Not a good community for ashes. Hope he is humbled a bit and comes back a better person. I'd absolutely give him a second chance.
Taking accountability can sting for sure. It takes a real person to admit your mistakes and really learn from them. I really respect you alot Xillin. I know your not perfect but I don't expect you to be. You understanding what makes us human with our emotions and feelings know what that can do to us. Much love to you Xillin and I can't wait to talk to you again on the 1v1 Podcast!
Well said Xillin. From browsing his Discord and from reading his responses on his comments on his latest video, it actually sounds like he might finally be acknowledging his mistakes and taking some actual personal responsibility for his actions. That is step 1 of 500 steps needed for him to regain credibility.
jalong got bombared with hate it seems when asmond reacted to narcs video and he ended up retracting the strike like 8 hrs ago, he seems to have a huge ego thinking everything he says/do is correct and no one else can disagree with him or he throws a tempertantum which is the copy strike result
I've Been fairly quiet and avoided certain aspects of the Ashes community if im honest as of late just due to certain dramas, but i can appreciate the words spoken here and self evaluation and critic is the best way to make progress and develop yourself into a better person we all do it, crazy something as small as a game can make changes that great to character development and help in the process. Good video.
I don't remember where I originally got it. If I had to take a guess, I would say the old Ashes content creator discord, which I believe The Golden Feather has taken over. Try asking Chibi or Virtek. They might know.
Have been watching your videos and streams for a while now, and you have always come across as reflective to me. It takes a lot to be as open as you were here in this video, and I salute you for it. You impressed me today, thank you. :)
Great to see your self reflection. Growth is important. I'm sure many, like me, play games to get away from personal drama. It's why I stay away from almost all reaction videos. Keep on, keeping on Xillin!
Being open-minded is the very best character trait one can have. Being able to consider you can be wrong about something and admit it is honorable, and other open-minded people will think better of you for it. It's also the most important trait for being good at video games, or just being successful in general. Thank you for making this video. You have a new subscriber.
At least you learned about your mistake and you grew as a person. The thing with the other guy is that he wears it as his persona. Often he has said "if other people don't like me, that's good. You have to be opinionated in this industry."
Your video popped up on my feed and I watched it. Solid take and good self reflection. Hopefully he watches and takes a good long self reflection as well.
Your progression raid video was the reason I followed you. Still here after all this time. As always you come across as humble, honest, and grounded. We CAN learn.
I was in those shoes as well. But then the most simple idea came into my mind. If I cannot understand motives of other people, why does it make THEM stupid? If I am unable to teach them or persuade them or whatever. Isn't it me who fails? If I cannot control my own anger why should other people even listen to me?
*Seen it coming a mile away.* *All Narc has to do is challenge the strike, which forces a lawsuit which will be thrown out on precedent.* *Then the strike gets removed, gets his vod back, and easily makes partner. EZ game.* *Glad you took resonsibility for your actions and changed for the better Xillin, it was pretty bad for a while there. You really gotta humble yourself to reach that place, I'm proud of ya!*
Very humble video! I agree with all your takes, except I don't believe Jahlon was always toxic. I watched him a time back and he had feedback, but it wasn't presented in same toxic fashion way which have happen recently. I also hope he comes back and bring back old Jahlon. Like you said he had a lot of interested takes, which would be very upsetting to miss out on.
Really appreciated this video. Running a guild brings so many trials and struggles. There is no real cookie cutter way to success. The method you used in your 20s may not work in your 30s... then things change when you are in your 40s.... There will always be some regrets in how we approached situations in game or real life. The key is that we learn from it and progress as a human being. Did we develop empathy? Did we learn this is a game not real life? Did we learn to just respect people's time? There are so many lessons to think on and reflect on of how could I have done this better. I like Jalon and I like Narc. Both are very good at what they do... they each have their style and yet I learn so much from each of their streams. It is important to find those who you can enjoy your time with! If it is Jahlon go there, if it is Narc then go there... if you like hanging out on yourtube and watch xillin do that! I view streamers like I view mmorpg's.... there is so much variety, why box yourself into one game, one stream, etc.-Razthemun
Greetings. Interesting video. I didnt know this was a real drama thjing that happened. I fully understand your experience. I have listened to my fair share of shouting raidleaders that will not hesitate to point you out as the only reason 39 others wiped as one example. Really big of you coming to this insight. Why there is a "drama" on a future game that is not really out I have no clue. Probably expectations and that so many are wishing this to be the thing. Everyone have their own version how their dream MMORPG looks like. Anyway great video by you.
Finally got the time to look up what actually happened. This is a very sad turnaround of events but I've always this to happen one day. There was a time when a content creator who wanted to start making Ashes content asked Jahlon a question about Ashes and would like to have Jahlon's response in his own video. Jahlon suddenly started raging, calling him names, berating him because that content creator asked for a collab on his stream. I have no idea how or why he would think that. It's very common for fellow content creators to collab and interact with each other on their livestream chats. It went on for almost 2 hours. Nothing we did could stop Jahlon and his chat from berating that content creator. To the content creator, if you're reading this, you know who you are. I'm so glad you didn't get discouraged by him and proceed to make Ashes content anyway. You're doing great now it seems. Jahlon's behaviour during his livestreams is definitely unhinged. I hate to see it but he keeps burning bridges and destroying every credibility he has by berating someone on stream despite calling himself a teacher. He always say, "there's no such thing as a stupid question" but we all know that's not true. It is sad. He is definitely one of the best when it comes to Ashes knowledge.
Back in WoW, I came up with the strategy to get past the First Molten Core Boss (for our guild) and a later one as well, taught them how to use healadins effectively, the robot boss in the Mansion, created what became the Meta for Mages at the time. Helped in innumerable ways with crafting etc. You know, be a guild member. In return, they treated me like absolute crap. I won't go into it, but when it finally pushed me over and I /gquit. The "Co-leader" whispered me why? She was so surprised. She was also the most toxic member in the guild. Sometimes leaders forget, they're there to lead, not be obeyed.
I have watched Narc for quite awhile, even though I will never play AOC because it is an always on PvP. But I still enjoy hearing about the progress of the game and seeing all the new features. Great video and hopefully you continue to do well on your coverage.
Yeah, every interaction I've had with Jahlon has always been immensely negative. It's not like anyone has to say anything negative. People could give their honest opinions and he'll come in and just rip into them for no good reason. Asmon once said that if you say something, and you're right, but you're an asshole about it, people won't look at you as the person who is right. You're just going to be seen as an asshole. Jahlon has made that very impression on an immense amount of people. And he complains that Narc's channel is larger than his saying maybe if he did videos in his underwear he'd get bigger, but said it in a way that totally berated the Ashes community as a whole by saying so. He hampers his own channel by doing this crap. I don't think Jahlon has a hard time understanding what other people think. I think he just can't comprehend being wrong about something, or someone else being right. I told him straight up that he's smarter than this, but he went straight on the offensive over and over. Also, kudos to you for manning up to your mistakes. Not many people can say they've lead a group of people, in a game or out of it. It's extremely hard to be a good leader. Shit happens, but if you actually take the time to reflect on it, you usually come out a better person. Especially if you admit to it and others accept it. Can't learn from your mistakes if you don't admit you have them.
Unfortunately i find this situation with a lot of teachers. They are so used to being the end all for knowledge with their students, they forget that somebody can actually disagree with them. Especially when they are incorrect or ill-informed, it really puts them on the back pedal and makes them unsettled. When you have a person unsettled, they usually lash out verbally and in some extreme cases physically.
The first 3:30 of this video is exactly how I felt. I liked the dude at first but the more he grew on RUclips the more toxic he became. I remember him saying “not everyone is going to like this game and that’s okay it’s not for everyone” but the more I heard him speak about the changes of the game the more he grew angry at the developers decision. I stopped watching his streams because it just felt negative and not fun to be around.
Hey Xillin...i wanted to let you know that i have watched you from the start of your channel. We have touched base a couple times. And ive always felt you were a genuine guy. After this message my intuitions were correct and you have earned a deeper respect from me. Thank you for being real. And as a top Guild leader from some of the biggest games...i can understand many of the frustrations you are referring to. But its all in how we as leaders handle said things. Im 50 years old...and still learning and growing. Thanks again man for who you are and what you offer to us all. -Glaadius
F'ING 50 DKP MINUS FOR BERATING Good stuff. I think everyone has had these moments. Growth is part of human life, but sadly some may never get to that point. I always hate to see petty BS get in the way of streamers coming together as a community. This game has potential, and the guys at the forefront should be propping this up, not pushing each other down.
Someone should tell/show the guy's head teacher and fellow staff what he is like on the net. If he's UK based, his job would not last very long. Especially when the PTA finds out.
Wow, I feel bad for the guys students. That’s no way to treat people. Like, quit breathing your own ego and farts and realize your not all knowing and right all the time. God. I mean, if Stevens comment in Narcs video doesn’t prove that he is on the wrong side of this, idk what will. He needs to be like you. You coming forward and admitting how wrong you used to be is huge! Thank you for being honest and the great guy that you are. Keep it up.
Awesome video and a display of humility. Remember: This is just one act of integrity. A person with integrity acts accordingly on a daily basis. Keep up the good work in terms of your personal growth journey!
50 DKP MINUS. WHAT THE .... Imagine this dude as your boss. Poor Chrushim. I hope he recovered. Well done Xillin! Take responsibility and grow from it.
I saw a bunch of hate even from his own supporters. He seems to want to make it right, but his excuse I've read directly in response to "rational" comments was pretty dumb. "I didn't know it would affect his possible partnership" And he says "Narc has borrowed my content before though." Dude what? get off the internet if you think react content is stealing your content. Don't post anything online if you don't want someone else to react or can't understand the rules. But, using a system illegally to ruin someone's reputation but claiming you wouldn't have done it if you knew it destroys their chances at partnership is just bad acting. Bad faith, bad actor. It's a shame but I appreciate your response. Relating to the situation gives us perspective into what's happened and helps us remember times we've made mistakes. But intentionally ruining someone's career over petty bullshit is a bit more shit than being a frustrated raid leader LOL. But that's how relating your experiences in way or another works.
There are definitely levels to this. But we can still give grace to someone, especially when the world is beating them up. I simply offered him a way back, but it will be up to him to reflect, make the necessary changes, apologize and work himself back to where he was.
Its alright to disagree with someone, that's human nature. We all have varying opinions. I get frustrated as hell sometimes in my current main MMO with some of the randoms that I've been stuck with in group raids. However I never make it personal. I don't PM them berating them about how stupid they are. I may be thinking it but that's as far as it goes. Its a mark of intelligence and self control to be able to filter yourself. In my game If you put someone on your ignore list it won't team you with them in a random queue...so I just do that instead and then going forward the problem is solved. There's no reason to needlessly be a dick, or to purposely hurt someone's feelings to satiate your own ego. Assuming that your opinions are more important than someone else's because you think your better or smarter than they are...well that is toxic and narcissistic, especially when it becomes habitual.
good video man. at the start i thought it might be some wishy washy drama coverage. but sure enough, comments are right. and i agree with pretty much everything said..., i also struggle with people being "stupid" when in fact, i am just being an asshole.
Not gonna lie, when I sat down to make the video, it was definitely gonna be some drama coverage, and I was planning on going in on Jahlon. But, then I remembered that the one thing I've been working on in my life is giving a little grace. So, a totally different video than what I had planned came out, and it clearly the right way to go.
Well Done. The way you use your mess ups to relay a message. We all have them and no one is perfect. I have personal been attacked in that manor and all it did was shut me down and push me away from trying to be a Content creator.
What people say and do on live stream can't be undone. It's different to recording and editing. I've also came across players in guilds, usually those with the rank higher than my own who throws their weight around. Half of the raid left the group, and a few weeks later they left the guild. You admit your own flaws and as long you don't do it again its fine in my book. But some people can't, that's because they are a capital C in C$£!.
That paradox dude has a narcissism problem that i picked up months ago when i first saw a video from him bitching about ashes features and mechanics when the game isnt released or in alpha 2 where people get to actually see and not go off a concept or idea. I was a competitive baseball player up to college and dealing with coaches and teammates you learn a bit how to control ego and that sense of narcissism otherwise you might get punished or be the reason others get punished. Some people especially gamers who often live an isolated lifestyle where they are the hero/main character/secret king have absolutely no control over it and then have outbursts when things dont go perfectly or in their favour. Like when someone disagrees with your opinion, or when other gamers online that you are leading or playing with mess up what you find to be incredibly easy. I respect the accountability that you may have been the one who killed off your guild when it is 1000% easier to play victim and say something like “the guild died because of useless players not holding up their own weight” to get sympathy from people who have no context of the whole situation 👍🏾
Props to you man. Great video. People have different views and thoughts of things. Especially if you are passionate about it. But you also have to respect others opinions and the fact that not everyone have the time to put in to learn absolutely everything but can still have opinions about those said things. Again, props to you for being the bigger man in this. Respect! I didn’t even know you could get a DMCA strike from a react video since you technically don’t own the content. Or did I miss something?
Love your content Xillin and I will watch your content for as long as you make it. We need more people like you, RitchieSH, SticQeno, Roarrior, and NyceGaming. I'm probably forgetting others but I don't care for Jahlon as a person. I think his Ashes 101 content was really good but when I saw the person behind the content, I couldn't support him anymore. Maybe the dude can change but I doubt it. Either way, great take Xillin and much love.
Hey babe (I'm single) wake up, new Xillin video just dropped! You brought me in to raiding back in 2013/14? I remember it clearly, 16M TFB invited with a few friends by Justice. And since then we've been at it until 2015 and most recently 2023. I've learned so much from you, I was never phased by your criticisms and "berating" I just always seen it as leader things. That being said I could see how some didn't respond well to it. I got nothing but appreciation and gratitude for you, and you owning up to this/taking responsibility is a step in the right direction. - Monse
For those of you who read this. This man here, Monse, was among the earliest members of the guild talked about in the video. He was there to see the rise, the fall, the rebirth, and final dissolution of the guild.
It's sad that he resorted to a copyright strike - But it appears that he just retracted it hours ago. The guy actually has some really good takes on various Ashes related topics, but sadly he delivers it in a rigid fashion making it not so palatable.
What a guy. Haven't followed your channel in 2 years, but something about it made me click the video and listen through. You've inspired me to have the same reflection and introspect on how I can be a better person to those around me. So well said my friend.
As the owner of a significant Discord group, I understand the challenges that communities can face. There are numerous factors that can contribute to the downfall of a community, and one of them is the presence of leaders or admins with unhealthy egos and toxic behavior. I commend you for taking the first step today - acknowledging your own negative attitude and toxic tendencies. This self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and can greatly impact your ability to change your behavior. Congratulations on your commitment to personal development and congratulations on your growth!
shlawn is smart, but I noticed in some of his videos if something doesn't go the way he wants it he will think it's bad. Ashes of creation is not even out yet to be calling things bad or good, we can leave opinion on how we feel about it, but right now we can't say for sure until we play the game. And to those thinking the graphics of AOC is bad can't say that because you looking at a video and even if is in 4k those people watching the 4k video don't even have a 4k screen
Subbed and liked. Really good story. I used to watch Narc but in one of his latest videos he used a word I don't tolerate. I unsubbed when he said "retard". It wasn't funny at all.
that jahlon guy should get his account terminated or sued in court. he is literally committing a crime LIVE. and im 100% serious about this. this should be taken seriously.
To be fair, idiots in raids are pretty frustrating, but society can only move as fast as the slowest person. I initially wanted to click off of this video but I'm glad I stayed for the whole thing. I appreciate the heartfelt message.
You reap what you sow, i cant say I'm surprised every single stream ive seen he is tearing into intrepid staff and community members multiple times a stream, you wonder how many new prospects droped the game because of his behavior
This is the kind of content creator that Ashes needs. Xillin is a real down to earth guy. Spent many a hours talking with him on discord. This level of self reflection is a rare gem and the attitude you have about the whole situation is a good lesson and positive message for the whole community. Cant wait till A2 so we can get more of your ashes content.
LOL My EQ2 Guild leader acted the same way back then. We tolerated it to a point, but in the end, he was left alone in his guild and we started a new. I mean, a Raid leader needs to be strict and concise, as the Mechanics, do need to be called and followed, but not to the point of going to the point of berating the team. Healers should NOT be crying on Ventrilo (yeah I'm old...shut it). The TANK should not Rage quit in the middle of the last Boss, because of the Raid leader. He was cool any other time. So, I hope he's mellowed as well has you did, in the end. Hold on... was it you?!?! LOL if you had 16 Raid team, then it more than likely wasn't as we had 24 raid members.
Bro I wanna compliment you on not trying to take the “middle ground”. A lot of people with weak moral character say stuff like “both sides were wrong” and try not to actually take a stance, but you called it like it is. That takes courage. Subscribed and going to watch your stuff regularly now.
Why people are creating drama over a game that isn't even released yet, and that they (despite what people think from preview videos and developer vlogs) know next to nothing about when it comes to the final product, is beyond me. That Jelon guy often picks games to glom onto and then sets himself up as the second coming of Christ for that game. He did this with Archeage as well. Maybe calm down kids, it's not like you don't have other games to play, or that making enemies before a game is even a year from release, is necessary.
Love your content mate. Felt like Jahlon was a piece of work after minutes in his stream, actively avoid the guy. Rude and condescending every time I see him.
Xillin!!! You berated people 😱 the facade is shattered now 😭😭 nah I'm only joking 😂 Honestly I can't say I'm not fond of Paradox. I watched some of his videos and I really just got bad vibes from him, and I think he has bad takes to just add fuel to the fire
@Xillin and that's okay, I used to run raids in Destiny 1. And it was 6 man raids which were very mechanic heavy. And I would get frustrated when I would have 1-2 bad players because the added work, skill, and stress increased like 2-3x the amount for the other 4 people who had to be in perfect sync to make things work. I tried not to be too mean but I know I would sometimes make comments or sigh in frustration or go quiet
What he did to Narc was malicious and on called for. As far as I am concerned, he will reap what he has sown. I have zero respect for any content creator that uses a copy strike as a blunt weapon against a fellow content creator because they got butt hurt. Sad truth is the content creator community is brutal to others that pull BS like he did with the Strike. Steven even chimed in about what a dick move that was. Sad truth is he is quickly becoming more popular than he has ever been for all the wrong reasons.
I mostly agree, but...one thing I've been trying to do is not let myself completely cut someone out because they've done things I don't like, even relatively bad things. If they have no path back, why would they try to come back? They are incentivized to continue the bad behavior. So yeah, what he did was awful, but let's see if he sees his wrongs and begins to correct.
I doubt it was seen as "berating" by your guild mates Xillin, in your case, its considered as leadership and its understandable, especially if the fight takes a long time and a single mistake will make u go through it all over again.. I'd get tilted too.. as for J.. I said this in Narc's video and i'll say it again.. the guy is really toxic and an absolute idiot.. i'll have to disagree with u Xillin.. he's not smart at all.. he has bad takes and just takes other people's opinions badly.. and honestly, i wouldnt consider him as a 'titan'.. I used to watch his stuff and his stream.. i talked to him a bunch of times and he just takes everything badly.. he hates to be wrong, and whatever he sees as "right" is just is.. just because thats what he wants.. its like arguing with a 5 years old.. and sorry if this comes out as "negative" but honestly, i dont think this guy will ever change.. he's just feeling himself and theres too much ego.. its sad to know he's a teacher too..
No....sometimes it was berating. There were times when what I was doing could definitely be called holding people accountable, but I crossed the line sometimes. Too many times... But, we learn and we grow.
Every once in awhile you have to call people out cause one person can F the whole team. The amount of time it takes to get people ready and to show up can burn you fast when one person or many aren't staying focus on the task at hand. Oh and hello there again . Keep up the good work.
I loved PGN videos because he didn’t/don’t just drink the sauce and always brought great and informative feedback that ashes truly do need. however just like you I was turned off by his streams as well which made me less interested in his videos even tho i do feel he still give great videos that’s the ashes team needs to take into consideration but being In his stream was very gross listening to him “I know it all” smug narcism that he displays in the streams there’s ways you can talk to your community without talking down to them like their lessers.
Effing petty. Pretty ridiculous. And abusing the rules. He should lose his channel. All this over nothing. Let this wake everyone up. Please don't lose your shit over nothing. I think we are all drinking too many energy drinks. We all have a lifetime worth of bad habits & attitudes. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Well said, and a great positive message Xillin.
Thanks Steven! Looking forward to you sending nodes next month!
Nan I don't think so. On toxic people like him you need to go ballistic all that way that they learn faster. Content creator like that guy is what community should avoid at all costs because he makes shiet in his own nest. Especially on this pos. I heard about him few times already when he made same thing to other people just because. If I had the opportunity to copyright strike him I will do it without a second thought just to delate his channel out of existence for what he done to other content creators just because he forgot his medicine.
I really appreciate how Steven of AOC is so supportive of this community and accepts differing viewpoints with such respect . Cheers

@stevenjsharif plz stop jahlon from making ashes of creation content he deserve it he's just a bad person to talk about ur game
THERE HE IS. HE THOUGHT I WAS GONE BUT IM STILL LURKING -The Corrupted Ashes Player
It takes a lot to be the bigger man in a conflict and even MORE to self-reflect, versus berating/blaming others.
Good on you, bro! Much respect.
Thanks!
Self reflection was possibly the most important thing i learned as an adult.
Also, just learning to at least entertain the thought that you could be wrong.
It's so hard when you're right as often as I am! bahahaha
Seriously though, you're exactly right, just allowing for the idea that you might be wrong goes a long way toward keeping your ego in check, and your karma pointed in the right direction.
You are a real one Xillin. Very proud to be a Subscriber to your channel. I loved your advice to him, judgement of his actions, your attempt to meet him at his level of exposure with a personal story, and all without total condemnation in perpetuity. You are acting like a good leader.
Can't wait to see you in action in a live Ashes of Creation.
Be well Xillin!
Thank you, very kind of you to say.
This kind of happened to me in ESO. I was in a guild, and they liked to raid. I was in the discord, and I would occasionally raid as a tank. I didn't know the raids, so I'd ask for a quick, what do you want me to do and I'd just do it. I learned quick so I wasn't worried about struggling too much.

And I said "hey I like yall, but I don't like to play a meta tank so I don't want to be the guy who's going in and playing a more selfish playstyle since I know raids are a group effort." They ended up saying I was a bad tank, I was full of myself, the wife of the guild leader mocked what I said and said
""I like you guys" oh yeah you like us but you hate playing with us and playing the content we are trying to complete."
And them before I could really say much besides "I've been raiding with other guilds and I've improved a ton since I last raided with you guys." They kicked me out of the guild and the discord and berated me all because I said I didn't raid because I have a selfish playstyle. And they asked for my honesty only to shoot me down and call me trash, and kick me out. After that I haven't really raided since because I don't want to be apart of that toxic culture in that game. So I do understand the feeling of being berated by your guild. And as the tank I feel it's worse because you also get berated during the raid for any mistakes, for dying, for pulling too much, for not holding aggro and a squishy gets 1 hit (mind you ESO has a single target aggro ability not AOE aggro abilities)
I dont know Jahlon, but i was present in the discord discussion and i remember him being the only one asking really good and solid questions, but steven avoided him all the time. It was so hillarious that i wanted to DM Jahlon at some point, if they have something personal going? And he wasnt toxic either aside from a "lol" staring his argument. No one would react another way considering stevens answers.
Anyway, lets wait for alpha 2 and see how it plays out.
I always say that I am the dumbest smart person I know, and I do that to remind myself that I am. Humility is very important, and hopefully Jallon will learn that lesson. I have a very similar story in regards to him that you do, and it did not surprise me one but when I found out he was the one that did that to Narc.
I remember when I first started covering ashes, I got several comments telling me to stop making videos as this is "Jahlon's" space or something along those lines. No idea if it was random community members, or alt accounts of his or what. Regardless, I was curious so I checked his stream out. Turned out to be the most toxic place I have ever been on Twitch haha. Never watched his content ever again. Not a good community for ashes. Hope he is humbled a bit and comes back a better person. I'd absolutely give him a second chance.
That's wild, I can't believe people would come tell you what content you can or can't make.
Taking accountability can sting for sure. It takes a real person to admit your mistakes and really learn from them. I really respect you alot Xillin. I know your not perfect but I don't expect you to be. You understanding what makes us human with our emotions and feelings know what that can do to us. Much love to you Xillin and I can't wait to talk to you again on the 1v1 Podcast!
Healing and growing together bro, that's what we do!
Well said Xillin. From browsing his Discord and from reading his responses on his comments on his latest video, it actually sounds like he might finally be acknowledging his mistakes and taking some actual personal responsibility for his actions. That is step 1 of 500 steps needed for him to regain credibility.
That's great to hear.
jalong got bombared with hate it seems when asmond reacted to narcs video and he ended up retracting the strike like 8 hrs ago, he seems to have a huge ego thinking everything he says/do is correct and no one else can disagree with him or he throws a tempertantum which is the copy strike result
@@veeshan222 Yup and that will have to change is he ever wants to be relevant
Can’t say that forced change is a sincere change worthy of any respect tbh.
@@Babayugah I agree, there is a lot more that he would have to do, and I am very skeptical he will take the steps necessary in the long run.
I've Been fairly quiet and avoided certain aspects of the Ashes community if im honest as of late just due to certain dramas, but i can appreciate the words spoken here and self evaluation and critic is the best way to make progress and develop yourself into a better person we all do it, crazy something as small as a game can make changes that great to character development and help in the process.
Good video.
Well said. But where do i get that wallpaper at?
I don't remember where I originally got it. If I had to take a guess, I would say the old Ashes content creator discord, which I believe The Golden Feather has taken over. Try asking Chibi or Virtek. They might know.
Positive message. I truly hope this gets resolved. Thank you for sharing your story. This is a message most people need to hear.
Have been watching your videos and streams for a while now, and you have always come across as reflective to me. It takes a lot to be as open as you were here in this video, and I salute you for it. You impressed me today, thank you. :)
Great to see your self reflection. Growth is important. I'm sure many, like me, play games to get away from personal drama. It's why I stay away from almost all reaction videos. Keep on, keeping on Xillin!
Love you buddy! Can't wait for lots of hot steamy Ashes action with you in the future!
Being open-minded is the very best character trait one can have. Being able to consider you can be wrong about something and admit it is honorable, and other open-minded people will think better of you for it. It's also the most important trait for being good at video games, or just being successful in general. Thank you for making this video. You have a new subscriber.
At least you learned about your mistake and you grew as a person. The thing with the other guy is that he wears it as his persona. Often he has said "if other people don't like me, that's good. You have to be opinionated in this industry."
Uhg, that's so cringe. You can be opinionated without treating people like garbage.
Big respect brother. You got cahones for coming on here talkin about that. I wish you nothing but success man.
Your video popped up on my feed and I watched it. Solid take and good self reflection. Hopefully he watches and takes a good long self reflection as well.
Your progression raid video was the reason I followed you. Still here after all this time.
As always you come across as humble, honest, and grounded. We CAN learn.
I was in those shoes as well. But then the most simple idea came into my mind. If I cannot understand motives of other people, why does it make THEM stupid? If I am unable to teach them or persuade them or whatever. Isn't it me who fails? If I cannot control my own anger why should other people even listen to me?
Still learning it, everyday
@@Xillin Mind over body. Love over mind. ))
*Seen it coming a mile away.*
*All Narc has to do is challenge the strike, which forces a lawsuit which will be thrown out on precedent.*
*Then the strike gets removed, gets his vod back, and easily makes partner. EZ game.*
*Glad you took resonsibility for your actions and changed for the better Xillin, it was pretty bad for a while there. You really gotta humble yourself to reach that place, I'm proud of ya!*
I truly hope it's that easy. I hate that someones career could be ruined so easily.
Difficult to accept such things to yourself.
Being open with everyone else about those flaws takes class.
12/10
👍 I think you just helped me out in my life dude. Thank you for that perspective
Glad to hear it!
Very humble video! I agree with all your takes, except I don't believe Jahlon was always toxic.
I watched him a time back and he had feedback, but it wasn't presented in same toxic fashion way which have happen recently.
I also hope he comes back and bring back old Jahlon. Like you said he had a lot of interested takes, which would be very upsetting to miss out on.
Never saw him in the beginning, but several people have made similar comments. I'd love to see him return with that early mindset.
The almighty algorithm brought me here and I'm glad I clicked. Much respect for the message of integrity and humility.
Really appreciated this video. Running a guild brings so many trials and struggles. There is no real cookie cutter way to success. The method you used in your 20s may not work in your 30s... then things change when you are in your 40s.... There will always be some regrets in how we approached situations in game or real life. The key is that we learn from it and progress as a human being. Did we develop empathy? Did we learn this is a game not real life? Did we learn to just respect people's time? There are so many lessons to think on and reflect on of how could I have done this better. I like Jalon and I like Narc. Both are very good at what they do... they each have their style and yet I learn so much from each of their streams. It is important to find those who you can enjoy your time with! If it is Jahlon go there, if it is Narc then go there... if you like hanging out on yourtube and watch xillin do that! I view streamers like I view mmorpg's.... there is so much variety, why box yourself into one game, one stream, etc.-Razthemun
I hope he doesn't DMCA strike this video!
Be kinda hard, but he might try.
he retracted his dmca strike and said he is done making aoc content.
You're a real one Xillin, i'm glad i'm subbed to such a genuine person. always looking forward to your videos brother.
I appreciate that
Greetings. Interesting video. I didnt know this was a real drama thjing that happened. I fully understand your experience. I have listened to my fair share of shouting raidleaders that will not hesitate to point you out as the only reason 39 others wiped as one example. Really big of you coming to this insight. Why there is a "drama" on a future game that is not really out I have no clue. Probably expectations and that so many are wishing this to be the thing. Everyone have their own version how their dream MMORPG looks like. Anyway great video by you.
Finally got the time to look up what actually happened. This is a very sad turnaround of events but I've always this to happen one day. There was a time when a content creator who wanted to start making Ashes content asked Jahlon a question about Ashes and would like to have Jahlon's response in his own video. Jahlon suddenly started raging, calling him names, berating him because that content creator asked for a collab on his stream. I have no idea how or why he would think that. It's very common for fellow content creators to collab and interact with each other on their livestream chats. It went on for almost 2 hours. Nothing we did could stop Jahlon and his chat from berating that content creator. To the content creator, if you're reading this, you know who you are. I'm so glad you didn't get discouraged by him and proceed to make Ashes content anyway. You're doing great now it seems.
Jahlon's behaviour during his livestreams is definitely unhinged. I hate to see it but he keeps burning bridges and destroying every credibility he has by berating someone on stream despite calling himself a teacher. He always say, "there's no such thing as a stupid question" but we all know that's not true. It is sad. He is definitely one of the best when it comes to Ashes knowledge.
Back in WoW, I came up with the strategy to get past the First Molten Core Boss (for our guild) and a later one as well, taught them how to use healadins effectively, the robot boss in the Mansion, created what became the Meta for Mages at the time. Helped in innumerable ways with crafting etc.
You know, be a guild member.
In return, they treated me like absolute crap. I won't go into it, but when it finally pushed me over and I /gquit. The "Co-leader" whispered me why? She was so surprised.
She was also the most toxic member in the guild.
Sometimes leaders forget, they're there to lead, not be obeyed.
I have watched Narc for quite awhile, even though I will never play AOC because it is an always on PvP.
But I still enjoy hearing about the progress of the game and seeing all the new features.
Great video and hopefully you continue to do well on your coverage.
Well said man. This is what is gonna make Ashes a great community.
To me intelligence (being smart) involves questioning your own opinion. Any time I find someone overconfident I lose confidence in them.
Yeah, every interaction I've had with Jahlon has always been immensely negative. It's not like anyone has to say anything negative. People could give their honest opinions and he'll come in and just rip into them for no good reason. Asmon once said that if you say something, and you're right, but you're an asshole about it, people won't look at you as the person who is right. You're just going to be seen as an asshole. Jahlon has made that very impression on an immense amount of people. And he complains that Narc's channel is larger than his saying maybe if he did videos in his underwear he'd get bigger, but said it in a way that totally berated the Ashes community as a whole by saying so. He hampers his own channel by doing this crap. I don't think Jahlon has a hard time understanding what other people think. I think he just can't comprehend being wrong about something, or someone else being right. I told him straight up that he's smarter than this, but he went straight on the offensive over and over.
Also, kudos to you for manning up to your mistakes. Not many people can say they've lead a group of people, in a game or out of it. It's extremely hard to be a good leader. Shit happens, but if you actually take the time to reflect on it, you usually come out a better person. Especially if you admit to it and others accept it. Can't learn from your mistakes if you don't admit you have them.
I (Jamie) am also a recovered asshole lol
No recoveries detected!
@@Xillin shows you had bad I used to be then 🤣
It's easy to see who has never REALLY been punched in their face, or shouldn't be in the 'spotlight'.
Found your channel by accident and glad I did. You have such a solid message . Happy fourth of july
Unfortunately i find this situation with a lot of teachers. They are so used to being the end all for knowledge with their students, they forget that somebody can actually disagree with them. Especially when they are incorrect or ill-informed, it really puts them on the back pedal and makes them unsettled. When you have a person unsettled, they usually lash out verbally and in some extreme cases physically.
The first 3:30 of this video is exactly how I felt. I liked the dude at first but the more he grew on RUclips the more toxic he became. I remember him saying “not everyone is going to like this game and that’s okay it’s not for everyone” but the more I heard him speak about the changes of the game the more he grew angry at the developers decision. I stopped watching his streams because it just felt negative and not fun to be around.
This one strikes close to home for me. One of my best friends became that guy and I had to walk away from it. On a bright note it's why I found AoC.
Hey Xillin...i wanted to let you know that i have watched you from the start of your channel. We have touched base a couple times. And ive always felt you were a genuine guy. After this message my intuitions were correct and you have earned a deeper respect from me. Thank you for being real. And as a top Guild leader from some of the biggest games...i can understand many of the frustrations you are referring to. But its all in how we as leaders handle said things. Im 50 years old...and still learning and growing. Thanks again man for who you are and what you offer to us all.

F'ING 50 DKP MINUS FOR BERATING
Good stuff. I think everyone has had these moments. Growth is part of human life, but sadly some may never get to that point. I always hate to see petty BS get in the way of streamers coming together as a community. This game has potential, and the guys at the forefront should be propping this up, not pushing each other down.
1000% agreed. I work closely with a bunch of the creators for this game, and for the exact reason you gave, so we can prop this game up.
Someone should tell/show the guy's head teacher and fellow staff what he is like on the net. If he's UK based, his job would not last very long. Especially when the PTA finds out.
i felt the same way a few years back...
Like I was berating your for being bad in raids?!? :D
good stuff, found you through Ryve Genesis
never knew of the drama, thanks for the heads up. appreciate your content
Damn. Jahlon needs help. Been flollowing him since the Archeage days and I can't say I'm surprised he has resulted to copyright striking.
Huge respect to you for the self-reflection. New sub here
😢Introspection is a step towards building character. Congratulations.
But Intrepid hasn't given us the Character Builder yet!!
@@Xillin 😂
Wow, I feel bad for the guys students. That’s no way to treat people. Like, quit breathing your own ego and farts and realize your not all knowing and right all the time. God. I mean, if Stevens comment in Narcs video doesn’t prove that he is on the wrong side of this, idk what will. He needs to be like you. You coming forward and admitting how wrong you used to be is huge! Thank you for being honest and the great guy that you are. Keep it up.
Awesome video and a display of humility. Remember: This is just one act of integrity. A person with integrity acts accordingly on a daily basis. Keep up the good work in terms of your personal growth journey!
50 DKP MINUS. WHAT THE .... Imagine this dude as your boss. Poor Chrushim. I hope he recovered. Well done Xillin! Take responsibility and grow from it.
Thanks!
I saw a bunch of hate even from his own supporters. He seems to want to make it right, but his excuse I've read directly in response to "rational" comments was pretty dumb. "I didn't know it would affect his possible partnership" And he says "Narc has borrowed my content before though." Dude what? get off the internet if you think react content is stealing your content. Don't post anything online if you don't want someone else to react or can't understand the rules. But, using a system illegally to ruin someone's reputation but claiming you wouldn't have done it if you knew it destroys their chances at partnership is just bad acting. Bad faith, bad actor. It's a shame but I appreciate your response. Relating to the situation gives us perspective into what's happened and helps us remember times we've made mistakes. But intentionally ruining someone's career over petty bullshit is a bit more shit than being a frustrated raid leader LOL. But that's how relating your experiences in way or another works.
There are definitely levels to this. But we can still give grace to someone, especially when the world is beating them up. I simply offered him a way back, but it will be up to him to reflect, make the necessary changes, apologize and work himself back to where he was.
Its alright to disagree with someone, that's human nature. We all have varying opinions. I get frustrated as hell sometimes in my current main MMO with some of the randoms that I've been stuck with in group raids. However I never make it personal. I don't PM them berating them about how stupid they are. I may be thinking it but that's as far as it goes. Its a mark of intelligence and self control to be able to filter yourself. In my game If you put someone on your ignore list it won't team you with them in a random queue...so I just do that instead and then going forward the problem is solved. There's no reason to needlessly be a dick, or to purposely hurt someone's feelings to satiate your own ego. Assuming that your opinions are more important than someone else's because you think your better or smarter than they are...well that is toxic and narcissistic, especially when it becomes habitual.
good video man. at the start i thought it might be some wishy washy drama coverage. but sure enough, comments are right.
and i agree with pretty much everything said..., i also struggle with people being "stupid" when in fact, i am just being an asshole.
Not gonna lie, when I sat down to make the video, it was definitely gonna be some drama coverage, and I was planning on going in on Jahlon. But, then I remembered that the one thing I've been working on in my life is giving a little grace. So, a totally different video than what I had planned came out, and it clearly the right way to go.
Well Done. The way you use your mess ups to relay a message. We all have them and no one is perfect. I have personal been attacked in that manor and all it did was shut me down and push me away from trying to be a Content creator.
What people say and do on live stream can't be undone. It's different to recording and editing. I've also came across players in guilds, usually those with the rank higher than my own who throws their weight around. Half of the raid left the group, and a few weeks later they left the guild. You admit your own flaws and as long you don't do it again its fine in my book. But some people can't, that's because they are a capital C in C$£!.
That paradox dude has a narcissism problem that i picked up months ago when i first saw a video from him bitching about ashes features and mechanics when the game isnt released or in alpha 2 where people get to actually see and not go off a concept or idea. I was a competitive baseball player up to college and dealing with coaches and teammates you learn a bit how to control ego and that sense of narcissism otherwise you might get punished or be the reason others get punished. Some people especially gamers who often live an isolated lifestyle where they are the hero/main character/secret king have absolutely no control over it and then have outbursts when things dont go perfectly or in their favour. Like when someone disagrees with your opinion, or when other gamers online that you are leading or playing with mess up what you find to be incredibly easy. I respect the accountability that you may have been the one who killed off your guild when it is 1000% easier to play victim and say something like “the guild died because of useless players not holding up their own weight” to get sympathy from people who have no context of the whole situation 👍🏾
The Strike has been removed.
Glad to hear it
Props to you man. Great video. People have different views and thoughts of things. Especially if you are passionate about it. But you also have to respect others opinions and the fact that not everyone have the time to put in to learn absolutely everything but can still have opinions about those said things. Again, props to you for being the bigger man in this. Respect!
I didn’t even know you could get a DMCA strike from a react video since you technically don’t own the content. Or did I miss something?
Thanks man
Love your content Xillin and I will watch your content for as long as you make it. We need more people like you, RitchieSH, SticQeno, Roarrior, and NyceGaming. I'm probably forgetting others but I don't care for Jahlon as a person. I think his Ashes 101 content was really good but when I saw the person behind the content, I couldn't support him anymore. Maybe the dude can change but I doubt it. Either way, great take Xillin and much love.
Hey babe (I'm single) wake up, new Xillin video just dropped! You brought me in to raiding back in 2013/14? I remember it clearly, 16M TFB invited with a few friends by Justice. And since then we've been at it until 2015 and most recently 2023. I've learned so much from you, I was never phased by your criticisms and "berating" I just always seen it as leader things. That being said I could see how some didn't respond well to it. I got nothing but appreciation and gratitude for you, and you owning up to this/taking responsibility is a step in the right direction. - Monse
For those of you who read this. This man here, Monse, was among the earliest members of the guild talked about in the video. He was there to see the rise, the fall, the rebirth, and final dissolution of the guild.
It's sad that he resorted to a copyright strike - But it appears that he just retracted it hours ago.
The guy actually has some really good takes on various Ashes related topics, but sadly he delivers it in a rigid fashion making it not so palatable.
Agreed, that's why I made this video.
What a guy. Haven't followed your channel in 2 years, but something about it made me click the video and listen through. You've inspired me to have the same reflection and introspect on how I can be a better person to those around me. So well said my friend.
Why you leave me?!? Seriously though, thanks for the kind words.
As the owner of a significant Discord group, I understand the challenges that communities can face. There are numerous factors that can contribute to the downfall of a community, and one of them is the presence of leaders or admins with unhealthy egos and toxic behavior.
I commend you for taking the first step today - acknowledging your own negative attitude and toxic tendencies. This self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and can greatly impact your ability to change your behavior. Congratulations on your commitment to personal development and congratulations on your growth!
Thank you! Which discord are you the owner of? Feel free to shoot it to me in discord, I'll link it here.
Great video. Humility is the path to the Light Side.
Who's "johlan" can u link his channel plz?
Paradox Gaming Network
I knew you were going to talk about this lol!
The Ashes content is thin bro. Gotta talk about whatever I can.
But we're getting nodes 3 next month.......sorta.
You're telling me! That one little nugget of info was better than the whole rest of the livestream combined for me!
shlawn is smart, but I noticed in some of his videos if something doesn't go the way he wants it he will think it's bad. Ashes of creation is not even out yet to be calling things bad or good, we can leave opinion on how we feel about it, but right now we can't say for sure until we play the game. And to those thinking the graphics of AOC is bad can't say that because you looking at a video and even if is in 4k those people watching the 4k video don't even have a 4k screen
oh god i didnt know he is a teacher
+1 sub from Australia i hope he see this video.. i use to love his videos for AOC content
Subbed and liked. Really good story. I used to watch Narc but in one of his latest videos he used a word I don't tolerate. I unsubbed when he said "retard". It wasn't funny at all.
I appreciate it, thank you
that jahlon guy should get his account terminated or sued in court. he is literally committing a crime LIVE. and im 100% serious about this. this should be taken seriously.
Yep, it's pretty bad. But it appears he has either already, or is in the process of taking the strike back.
Your display of character in this video earned you a singular subscription from me, rejoice.
Thank you
Same.
To be fair, idiots in raids are pretty frustrating, but society can only move as fast as the slowest person. I initially wanted to click off of this video but I'm glad I stayed for the whole thing. I appreciate the heartfelt message.
Man, idiots out here making life tough for me! Still gotta be nice though.
7:13 to be fair, I r pretty stupid :))) asshole, melting my heart here..
You reap what you sow, i cant say I'm surprised every single stream ive seen he is tearing into intrepid staff and community members multiple times a stream, you wonder how many new prospects droped the game because of his behavior
A real one in the wild. Who woulda thunk
This is the kind of content creator that Ashes needs. Xillin is a real down to earth guy. Spent many a hours talking with him on discord. This level of self reflection is a rare gem and the attitude you have about the whole situation is a good lesson and positive message for the whole community.
Cant wait till A2 so we can get more of your ashes content.
We gonna kill it!
LOL My EQ2 Guild leader acted the same way back then. We tolerated it to a point, but in the end, he was left alone in his guild and we started a new. I mean, a Raid leader needs to be strict and concise, as the Mechanics, do need to be called and followed, but not to the point of going to the point of berating the team. Healers should NOT be crying on Ventrilo (yeah I'm old...shut it). The TANK should not Rage quit in the middle of the last Boss, because of the Raid leader. He was cool any other time.
So, I hope he's mellowed as well has you did, in the end.
Hold on... was it you?!?! LOL if you had 16 Raid team, then it more than likely wasn't as we had 24 raid members.
Bro I wanna compliment you on not trying to take the “middle ground”. A lot of people with weak moral character say stuff like “both sides were wrong” and try not to actually take a stance, but you called it like it is. That takes courage.
Subscribed and going to watch your stuff regularly now.
I have no problem taking a side if that side is obviously correct.
Why people are creating drama over a game that isn't even released yet, and that they (despite what people think from preview videos and developer vlogs) know next to nothing about when it comes to the final product, is beyond me. That Jelon guy often picks games to glom onto and then sets himself up as the second coming of Christ for that game. He did this with Archeage as well. Maybe calm down kids, it's not like you don't have other games to play, or that making enemies before a game is even a year from release, is necessary.
Love your content mate. Felt like Jahlon was a piece of work after minutes in his stream, actively avoid the guy. Rude and condescending every time I see him.
Xillin!!! You berated people 😱 the facade is shattered now 😭😭 nah I'm only joking 😂
Honestly I can't say I'm not fond of Paradox. I watched some of his videos and I really just got bad vibes from him, and I think he has bad takes to just add fuel to the fire
I've been known to let my ego get the best of me a time or two. I do everything I can to control it now.
@Xillin and that's okay, I used to run raids in Destiny 1. And it was 6 man raids which were very mechanic heavy. And I would get frustrated when I would have 1-2 bad players because the added work, skill, and stress increased like 2-3x the amount for the other 4 people who had to be in perfect sync to make things work. I tried not to be too mean but I know I would sometimes make comments or sigh in frustration or go quiet
Nicely put.
Thank you
xillian vs his entire guild. bringing a new meaning to pvp. good on you for realizing and learning from your mistakes.
I didn't know you knew how to type anything other than "algorithm appeasing comment". As always, thanks for the support, you are awesome
What he did to Narc was malicious and on called for. As far as I am concerned, he will reap what he has sown. I have zero respect for any content creator that uses a copy strike as a blunt weapon against a fellow content creator because they got butt hurt. Sad truth is the content creator community is brutal to others that pull BS like he did with the Strike. Steven even chimed in about what a dick move that was. Sad truth is he is quickly becoming more popular than he has ever been for all the wrong reasons.
I mostly agree, but...one thing I've been trying to do is not let myself completely cut someone out because they've done things I don't like, even relatively bad things. If they have no path back, why would they try to come back? They are incentivized to continue the bad behavior. So yeah, what he did was awful, but let's see if he sees his wrongs and begins to correct.
I doubt it was seen as "berating" by your guild mates Xillin, in your case, its considered as leadership and its understandable, especially if the fight takes a long time and a single mistake will make u go through it all over again.. I'd get tilted too.. as for J.. I said this in Narc's video and i'll say it again.. the guy is really toxic and an absolute idiot.. i'll have to disagree with u Xillin.. he's not smart at all.. he has bad takes and just takes other people's opinions badly.. and honestly, i wouldnt consider him as a 'titan'.. I used to watch his stuff and his stream.. i talked to him a bunch of times and he just takes everything badly.. he hates to be wrong, and whatever he sees as "right" is just is.. just because thats what he wants.. its like arguing with a 5 years old.. and sorry if this comes out as "negative" but honestly, i dont think this guy will ever change.. he's just feeling himself and theres too much ego.. its sad to know he's a teacher too..
No....sometimes it was berating. There were times when what I was doing could definitely be called holding people accountable, but I crossed the line sometimes. Too many times...
But, we learn and we grow.
@@Xillin I get it brother, we learn for sure, but im positive most of your guild saw u as a leader rather than some a-hole..
Every once in awhile you have to call people out cause one person can F the whole team. The amount of time it takes to get people ready and to show up can burn you fast when one person or many aren't staying focus on the task at hand. Oh and hello there again . Keep up the good work.
Haven't seen you in a while. Much love, thanks for dropping in!
Great video. Sub earned.
Awesome, thank you!
Props for this one ! Good message and nice reflection on it all :)
It's not the video I sat down to make, but it's the video that came out.
I loved PGN videos because he didn’t/don’t just drink the sauce and always brought great and informative feedback that ashes truly do need. however just like you I was turned off by his streams as well which made me less interested in his videos even tho i do feel he still give great videos that’s the ashes team needs to take into consideration but being In his stream was very gross listening to him “I know it all” smug narcism that he displays in the streams there’s ways you can talk to your community without talking down to them like their lessers.
Way to human… human!!
Thanks Wizzy. Looking forward to playing with ya when we finally get in this game!
DMCA'ing is extremely lame.
Agreed, extremely. It looks like he might have rescinded it at this point. Let's just hope that's true.
Effing petty. Pretty ridiculous. And abusing the rules. He should lose his channel. All this over nothing. Let this wake everyone up. Please don't lose your shit over nothing. I think we are all drinking too many energy drinks.
We all have a lifetime worth of bad habits & attitudes. Thanks for sharing your experience.
This dude has watched vinland saga season 2
Never even heard of it, let alone watched it. Should I check it out?
Great vid, dude
