  • Today's video is on why the #roblox game #deepwoken has changed for the worse. Old deepwoken was much more freeing and creative in comparison to new deepwoken. Now everyone obsesses over the best PVP build in deepwoken or the best PVE build, but obsessing over the best builds in deepwoken removes the creativy and mystery this game was supposed to have. If you enjoyed make sure to #susbcribe to support me.

    I still stand by my opinion that layer 2 should have been an open world. They could have made layer 1 if you die sending you to layer 2 and then onwards fitting with the lore of you sinking farther the stronger your soul is. You know how fucking fun it would be working your way up from the deepest layer because you fucked around and accidentally died. Yes it would be annoying but it would get faster and faster, and there would be ways to go straight to the surface (not to confident w the lore but i think i heard somewhere where its not just a ladder you can go up however you please)

  • @cuppaal
    @cuppaal 7 месяцев назад +8

    I do wish they would stop adding a bunch of pvp stuff as half of them are broken af on release anyways.
    I always think of how this could be implemented in various games cause of how memorable of a sequence that was for derailing off of the normal gameplay cycle , and how better it could be :
    Imagine if in layer 3 first time you head down there, imagine if they just took smt 3's dante/raidou chase sequence and applied it as the big gameplay piece of layer 3. Like just have Pleesky roam around and be on a hunt for the new entity that has somehow made its way to layer 3, being you. And you would spend a good time in layer 3 if u were trying to get an oath or something unique to it (idk make 1 sinners ash be guarenteed upon completion).
    I just imagine that the devs would try to have unique experiences for each layer as they add more. Layer 1 centered around the randomness of mobs and players, 2 being mostly a roguelike run to explore most of layer 2 quickly and then get back out, 3 just being a chase sequence with not a lot of time to chill at safe spots within layers (like firfire or castle light).
    Just me rambling tho
    Anyways who cares uhh add instant casting sightless beam that costs 100 willpower this update 🗣🗣🗣

    If most of the deep devs worked all together to make the updates, they wouldnt drop new mantras every week and the game wouldnt become this braindead ahh elemental battlegrounds like experience and exploration and pve interactions would still be the main focus of the game, with pvp being just a plus on your gameplay.
    Deepwoken is about your adventure on a world that's slowly dying while resisting the tides, not a battlegrounds fighting game in a world that's slowing dying because everyone is either in an instanced server or in chime.

    Primadon is a prime example i mean look at dis guy. 3 stomps, 1 stomp, KICK. That it. I feel like he could have smth like ethiron where we can go up in a spiral to like hit his head a few times then get taken back to ground.
    They also need better loot in some cases. Look at duke all he drops regularly is just random gear and o Asti only a shattered if ur lucky get like an idol or curved or smth

      thats arguably just you getting better at the game, its frustrating to spend months on a game and for it to still be hard.
      plus for me the maestro is the perfect example of what they should do, bosses like: primadon, chaser, ethiron, all have the punishment that you either wipe or go to the depths without chance of repetition, which adds to their difficulty though their simplicity.
      for harder bosses they should yes be way harder but more chance of repetition to eliminate frustration, and maestro just checks the boxes, and for how hard it is you also get cool loot.

    what you said about stealth is completely false. the reason why we had to use stealth back then is because we were so bad we couldnt parry the npcs. nobody is stopping bad players now from doing stealth now to cheese the npcs like we did back then
    regarding what you said about missions, i wish they'd open an old version of deepwoken to see how shit and repetitive the progression with the OG "missions" were like, you would legit quit the game within the first few weeks/months because the lack of diversity - its like playing the same singleplayer game over and over again
    one thing i do agree about is the lack of new pve content, but even then as far as im aware they're working on it

    I agree that deep should be pve focused with pvp aspects, its just that devs are focusing on pvp oriented content because pve content takes a lot of time and effort. they'd rather push out conquest so that the community will be able to finally eat after year long drought. The diluvian mechanism compared to the future pve content took only a day because they basically didnt have to add any new mobs, just a new game mode. If the devs were to focus on world events, then we probably wouldnt see a major update in over a year. Mob creations with all the tracking, modeling, and its moves takes forever, like when's the last time we got a new monster. Remember the devs still see deepwoken as a passion project and as a hobby, they are not money hungry what so ever ☠☠. They are millionaries already, just be thankful they are still updating the game.

    Had an idea come to mind for a potential surface world encounter in a cave, whether fixed locale in Etrean to give it more content, or a spawn in void sea.
    A whole idea that im planning on getting S rank or whatever so I can put in in suggestion.
    A fleshed out mini boss of sorts, with unique moves, timings, maybe it's own phase, a potential oath i've considered revolving around the idea of monster hunting without being a soulless monster hunter copy cat.
    Too bad i know doing this is gonna get it ignore by the devs even if it ends up getting upvoted because I want not pvp content added 😂

  • @Notllamalord
    @Notllamalord 6 месяцев назад +1

    The way deepwoken ended up isn't soley greed, much of the dev team has repeatedly shown to be completely incompetent. The lead devs seem to have no idea what makes a game like deepwoken fun, and they add/remove things with little thought about how it will impact the game. The most obvious example is permadeath and PVP mixed in an RPG, they just thought "hey rouge lianage has permadeath, so we should add it too!". For most people the thought of permadeath in a game with PvP and lengthy progression sounds like a terrible idea (because it is) and it led to this gradual abandonment of PvE and story mechanics to compensate. The obvious answer would be to develop the overworld more with quests and better progression, and only have permadeath on in the depths. Now that dying never sends you to the depths add more methods of getting there, and flesh it out (basically make it overworld 2) so the reward is worth it for those seeking the thrill of high-stakes PvP. This would add more to the game for both hardcore and casual players, as casuals could enjoy the PvP and PvE without the stress, and hardcore players would like having a more thematic and rewarding location to wipe other players in. Causals/newbies would even get the chance to see this whole other world down there, and be inspired to improve at the game to be able to explore it. Player retention, easier onboarding, and a better more cohesive game overall.
    I created that concept in 20 seconds, it's really not that hard to draft gameplay mechanics for this game concept. But ragooner and the gang seem to misunderstand games so heavily they can't make basic gameplay decisions like that.

  • @stormy4907
    @stormy4907 7 месяцев назад +3

    I think a hard part about implementing stealth into games that aren't built specifically around it is making it just a "get out of playing the game free" button that lets you ignore gameplay that it took days of dev time to make, deep could definitely do better though

  • @dowellz
    @dowellz 7 месяцев назад +1

    One of the few takes you've said that I actually agree with. Rogue Lineage was a good game not only because it was mysterious but because it was hard, tedious, yet still extremely rewarding. I feel like the devs took out a shit ton of random islands and content in Deepwoken before release just because it didn't really have a purpose, and then continued to dumb the games difficulty and ease of access down drastically after release and layer 2. Each update another corner is cut. Sure, I love quality of life updates and things that make progression less tedious, but it's gotten to a point where it just has nowhere near the difficulty or "work to satisfaction" level of Rogue Lineage. They keep trying to make the game easier for newer players, but the only reason why Deepwoken gets no real popularity in the Roblox space is sadly because its paid access. One of the old thrills of Rogue was fighting someone with an artifact/godspells because you knew that its not only dangerous to fight but hard to get and relatively rare. But when you're power 20 in Deepwoken, you are the same power 20 as everyone else. Every fight is just so boring compared to a game now devolving into mostly pvp.

    I really agree with this. I've been struggling with wiping to Voidwalkers and I'd enjoy the game more if Voidwalkers can't remove lives because it's stupid wiping to PvPers who have better kits/builds and PvP experience than a noob who has only had the game for around a month. I also agree that PvE is a bit too easy but maybe they could add level scaling to monsters so a freshie doesn't get ambushed by a massive owl wanting prey (yes this happened to me.) Even though I'm still a noob in Deepwoken, I do still think that more could be improved and maybe they could add a more PvE based origin. I am open to criticism because of my points or my current status in the community.

  • @MERT_OFFICIL
    @MERT_OFFICIL 7 месяцев назад +1

    While I agree with all of your points and how the game's image has been shifted to a pvp sense, I honestly like having pvp in the game more than the pve. To be fair maybe its because all monsters and bosses have like 2 to 6 moves but pvp really adds variety. The only problem is that there is meta in pvp and makes every fight the exact same. I love the idea of voidwalker but again is ruined by meta and just made to be a chore players have to go through every 5 minutes while progressing.

  • @BlueSapphireDW
    @BlueSapphireDW 7 месяцев назад +1

    i love how now they are literally just adding weapons and mantras that make 0 sense with deepwoken's story and general vibe (see the maestro weapons except maybe purple cloud, stormseye, imperial staff, the whole of ironsing, the new ice fissure, all the new anime ass mantras etc.) just to try and make people play the game still cus new stuff that looks like battlegrounds games = more kids paying for deepwoken. deep is falling to the roblox meta and they arent trying to sway from it. lore is nowhere to be seen and keeps getting worse update after update and the world is so devoid of mistery and danger that you can literally press m for a map now (not that it is a bad update, i love having to discover the map, just goes to show how badly the exploration aspect has degenerated) conquest is already looking grim and just another meta defining pvp gamemode and chime meta keeps getting worse every week because devs refuse to nerf anything that they use (see ironsing and gale). i dont see myself playing deepwoken for more than a couple months into conquest. it currently has 0 direction, 0 mystery, 0 lore and a level cap that is extremely limiting to further developments of the game.

    Dude my hype for deepwoken almost died day one when I spawned and saw the new animations and m1s your character had, as well as the big ass city (Etris) we start in that had a weird steam-punky vibe with all the pipes after I first booted up the game with my friends. The hype was still there kinda cuz I wanted to learn the lore and the world and I saw some cool shit like a vid showing old obfuscation enchant that made a greatsword swing as fast as a dagger but it really felt like a different game compared to what I was looking forward to for so long and I just felt very fucking frustrated.

Idk how to get these cool things other players are getting idk how to discover/play in layer 2. Other games have tutorials that are simple and tell me exactly what I need and have to do. I wish deepwoken was like that but I have to try and find it all myself and it’s frustrating. Exploring is fun sometimes but the map is too big for me to know how to get everything. I just get gripped by some guy who has everything I want before I can even explore to get those things

    We need to keep talking about this. Lets drop the #BringOldDeepwokenBack hashtag. Seriously, it's important to keep talking about this. As someone who has waited for deepwoken to drop since early 2020, It makes me so sad to see what the game turned out to be. Arch mage also said that they might release an old version of the game in order to show how the game wasn't really better than what we have now, but i disagree. Maybe the gameplay was boring and stuff but the idea and the atmosphere that the old deepwoken had was what we all wanted to enjoy. They shouldn't had changed it all and they should've kept following that way (referring to what you talked about in the video) while making the gameplay better. Really, I still LOVE watching the pre release videos with a simple combat, not fully based on mantra spamming, and a bigger and misterious map. I think we need to keep pushing forward with this topic because I still want the game I used to be so amazed about. Really, Deepwoken was my dream game when i used to watch all the leak videos and stuff. That's the game I've always wanted to play.

The whole purpose of this secret society is to radically change the game of deepwoken into what it was actually promised, in a positive way of course. If we isolate the developers and the community under one demand then the developers have no choice but to listen and fix the path they once intended to take. Idk reply if you Interested.

    And instead of more PVE content that's actually challenging so that we have a chance to wipe we get a harder trial at X drowns that no one asked for.
    The game isn't hard, you'll only wipe to an unfortunate event or to some dude that felt like ruinning your day and wiping mid progression doesn't hit as hard as before because again, you get xp so fast since the game turned a 160° defree turn and shifted its focus towards min maxers.

    I genuinely hate how many of deepwoken players are just pvp focused, i want to explore the world and learn the combat instead of getting jumped constantly, just because theres multiple factions that hate you at the start, making it extremely annoying to try to progress at all because of how many voidwalkers just come at me for a bounty from a faction that i havent even seen yet. I can barely even learn combat, and especially pvp if i keep getting jumped. Deepwoken pvp sucks, especially because the game is pretty much permadeath, so you can lose a start of a build just because a random ass faction decides to put a bounty on you without ever seeing crap about you and a voidwalker takes said bounty

    Deep envisioned to be a actual deviation from rouge lineage to just become rouge 2. Irony

    I would make pvp give 0 rewards, that would kill it.
