Islands should have been about exploring. Not weird mini-dungeons. Imagine having a surveyor that goes out and finds you Islands to explore and you then can go explore them. Some of them would just have chests or puzzles/world quests. Others would have bosses and questlines etc. This would've been spectacularly fun. You could even have "contested" islands for PVP. Instead.. we got shit-tier repeatable scenarios that offer shit rewards and are simply 0 fun.

Warfronts should just be available to play all the time. Their "zones" should shift on a weekly basis for the W/Qs and bosses. Leveling sucks because you never feel stronger as you level. The mobs level with you and continue to level with your gear level at max character level. Leveling is a pointless time sink and you don't even get stronger in real time.

This is how they can really improve islands take out islands.

Class-specific equipment slots, that's a nice idea. It's good for class fantasy. And since we have personal loot now, it simply just drops for you and that's it. And the thing about incursions at 51:39 is also a nice idea.

Blizzard games had a ton of potential, but recently they became too shallow and simple. I don't remember the last time I was excited about open world WoW content, dungeons, raids, etc. While on the other hand I were really looking forward to doing anything in ESO. As in you log into the game and you actually want to play it through and through. Blizzard simplified a lot of features to suit the casual gamer (*cough* lfg *cough*). Game being casual at start is fine, but if you can't improve or master anything after you reach endgame - you already had all your fun while reaching that said endgame. Easy to get into and hard to master - is the best credo for any game. Look at Diablo 3. It is all fun and interesting if you are new to the genre. I wasn't really a fan of the genre back in the D2 days, played D3 after the expansion came out and the endgame felt amazing. I played it for years, beating every season and whatnot. And then I tried PoE. Now I constantly think to myself that D3 had an infinite amount of lost potential. D3 is casual friendly, but with casual gameplay mechanics comes simplicity. What makes games fun in a long run is complexity.

8 months? it felt like over a year old when i started my break, feels like years now xD

I'm gonna keep saying it. This horrendous downturn started with their philosophy change on flying. It went from "what's fun to play" to "what keeps people playing". Their b/s excuses have ALL proven to be B/S. It was always about slowing people down and forcing 1 method of play. So they could control play time more directly. The REAL solution to the flying "issue" was to allow it on certain servers with the old system at max level from launch. And to then not allow on other servers for the people that wanted it gone. That is if their "reasons" were legit. But as we can see now with BFA's ridiculous "game time farming". This was ALL about slowing down people's gameplay.

Holy paladins have the most changes to play-style from azerite armor.

Agree with your thoughts on PVP for sure!

they should make islands like a loose "moba-ish" pvp fight. mini bosses all around, one big boss in the middle to fight for. maybe have "treasure-goblins" appear, but with azurite (or gold/currency/tokens in future expansions) and if warfronts were PvP they would be awesome.

Age of Conan! My entire raiding guild quit TBC to go play that and I missed out on almost all raiding in TBC after spending all my time raiding in vanilla. I didn't raid seriously again until wrath.

why farm asserite in wow when u can farm azurite in poe instead

This game would be amazing with 3d gear models like it blows my mind that after however many expansions theres still 2d gear that look like shit WHEN THE WHOLE GAME REVOLVES around gear progression

To me Legion was overall average (it gained a boost for building upon WoD for sure :P) with glimmers of good, and BfA is definitely much lower than that. I don't know if it's down to fatigue or absolutely not caring about most aspects of it, but I honestly enjoyed WoD more, even before Tanaan.

I love how his favorite part of the game are those when you don't have to "play" it - "My favorite part is that where i can just get it done with pressing one button". Sounds like a great game! :'D

Yeah I really wish we had Odyn's Fury back, I would even be willing to trade Dragon Roar for it.

Agreed on one thing. Islands & Warfronts should have had a PvP section. Or a choice for pvp.

The tier set could have just been boots, legs, hands, belt, wrist, and possibly back. But the amount of triats in the az gear kind of fill in that gap.

I swear when they announced islands and warfronts at blizzcon like 2 years ago they said it would have PvP and PvE versions... I might even play BFA if there was more PvP activities for me to do.

I've only seen a warfront fail once and it was when we tried to make it fail on purpose.

I hope there's a new mage tower soon, bfa could do with it

There are several issues. When you leveled in Vanilla you knew the end game was coming. It wasnt there yet, but you were building to it. You wanted the best gear you could get to try to be ready. When MC came out and you went in, you got destroyed anyway. No one knew what to do, there was no voice chat yet, everything was typed. It was really friking hard, we had to have a guy with a stop watch, timing the dogs. It was all brand new, we went from 5 man dungeons to 40 man raids. I was a guild leader and I really couldnt play while we figured out how to do kill trash in MC, I had to be in officers chat coming up with a way to kill stuff in an organized fashion, then I had to be moving people around in raid frames that died and making sure healers had a full group to heal, or that there was a healer in all groups. MC was very hard in the day, and it will be trivial now. No one knew what the hell they are doing, including us that were leading the chaos.

@finstor3386

at the end of the day there was a goal to work towards for everyone. It was raiding, thats how you progressed your character. Then they upped the PVP and gave an alternate avenue to progress your character. Both of those took a lot of team work. Its the last game that made team work the end game. Everything you did was building relationships to enable you to progress your character. What caused Blizz to change course was the very loud chorus of people that couldnt or wouldnt for the relationships that allowed them to progress after 60. So in the end Blizz decided they would rather have 9-10 million unhappy players than 4-5 happy players.

@finstor3386

Thats the other thing. In Vanilla the RNG was there, but with DKP and raiding all the time, you would get your gear 100% of the time, eventually. Or at least enough of it to covet one or 2 pieces. There was a very clear reason to raid or pvp. The issue came with those who didnt want to do either, they wanted to log in and get all the same things without the effort. The effort really didnt mean time, its been proven time wasnt the big decider...it was effort and skill. They removed effort and skill from Wow.

man, this game takes grinding to the most mundane of extremes.

Molten Core wasnt supposed to be incredibly difficult and mechanic heavy...but some BWL bosses are pretty intense, AQ40 moreso and Naxx of course..but obviously they're not going to be a huge hurdle in WoW classic, there main difficulty in WoW classic will come from gearing, consumables, and time needed

It's honestly so freaking hilarious that now in 2021, WoW Shadowlands has more of these stupid "systems" than even Legion did. Blizzard can't just make good gear and raids to do, we have to have an overcomplicated nightmare of ridiculous systems. They create a problem and then try to solve it. You can't make it up.

There's one real hero in this video : Balsaxx dancing

they should add eredar as an allied race and make the only class available to that race warlock.

I do think the removal of tier sets from the character progression and gameplay aspect of the game was a bad idea. But I have to disagree with madseasons visual argument for tier sets. You have plenty of options to put on transmog to look like your class. Also is sometimes cool to NOT look like your class, for example going full stormwind armor with a headband as a mage. I really don't care if 2 other classes can transmog it too or if the transmog doesn't fit. Sometimes the race doesn't fit for the transmog. Dwarf hunters for example, they have like 2 tier sets that actually fit them. Should blizzard make specific raid transmog just for them? Of course not. Overall I think it was a good decision from the art design perspective. They should just bring back the tier bonuses for the classes and it will be fine.

It's funny going back to these videos knowing that lots of employees at blizzard were more concerned with sexually assaulting people or not getting sexually assaulted by people than the games they were working on.

Think about new players joining for next xpac. From the end of wod, to the beginning of the xpac after bfa.. they will be sorely underpowered. Those talent points give a ton of power while leveling and at end game. We won’t have another talent choice until 130 at least... and I really doubt we’ll get one then.. because they’ll have to replace azerite with something.. Making the problem worse and extending the time. It sucks and they can’t take these items away without a massive loss of power and community outrage. Artifacts were good. But have caused a ton of problems since being implemented

War mode While leveling should make Enemy Players essentially into mobs, Lootable experience giving Mobs.

Corrupted assbringer, you surely get some virtual action when you are wielding it in Ironforge

There was actually a consequence (a negative one at that) for one of the azerite armor options I chose. It had an effect of having a pretty decent aoe activate. Now why is that negative? Because during a Mythic+ the keystone had the Bolstering attribute on it. Each time an enemy died another enemy withing 30 yards would be boosted with their maximum health and damage by 20%. So an elite who was surrounded by a reasonable size of non-elites would get super buffed if my aoe activated and killed all the non-elites, making them essentially unkillable. It was a consequence that led me to actually reset my azerite armor traits for the first time. Something that was disappointing because it is a pretty useful azerite ability for my paladin who was using it.

Thought the title said "14 year old" instead. And with that thumbnail, damn.

Why did he look so intense 😅? He is much more relaxed nowadays.

Asmongold Reacts to "Mounts Can Be Found In Treasure Maps".

42:26 I actually believed warfronts will be like that on the bfa reveal. I thought warfronts were this crazy good idea where you would fight over resources, managed your group of units, and you could make strategies around who buys what units, what to do, what to attack and how... and most importantly this expansion just from the trailer appealed to me that it would be more PvP oriented. i dont do much PvP, but i was interested in what they could do with it and what they did ? they made a feature(Warfronts) that was supposed to be PvP a boring, uninteresting PvE grind nothing more nothing less. Hell its not even a grind. Its a get in, do nothing for 20 minutes, fall asleep on the keyboard and still win. like cmon i rather grinded m+ dungeons than did warfronts

36:20 The only question Asmongold ever needs answered

I actually believe that they are building Warfronts towards pvp. They are basically just figuring out all the kinks and how players react to stuff. Eventually they will upgrade to heroic mode and maybe mythic and at some point we will have fully fledged WoW-MOBA. I believe this could be the next big thing if it actually comes to pass. Image Warcraft-DotA with your WoW Characters alongside the Base building and strategy of Warcraft III. It would be the shit.

32:50 dont need 8 game modes. One mode with higher rewards, pvp ... one mode with lesser rewards, pve

I really don't think balancing is as difficult as everyone makes it sound. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you should be able to write a program that puts together every possible combination of gear, skills, etc, calculates the dps or whatever attribute we're looking at, puts that information into a searchable excel spreadsheet, and then devs can organize that information to find broken builds before players do. They could then fine-tune the numbers before launch day instead of massively nerfing things later in patches.

Game is definitely dying. Entire guild survived through legion and now not a single guild member even logs onto the game anymore. Not just 4-5 people, but an entire 2 mythic raiding team guild that also had about 100 socials. If I log into the game now I'm the only one on. I have 96 friends on bnet and I only ever see 2 people on WoW, most are either just online not playing anything using bnet as a chat or playing OW/Hearthstone/Destiny.

Holy pala actually has a trait that completely changes the playstyle, talent choices, stat priority, 'rotation', everything. It's strong, but not absolutely insane. That's how it should be tbh

Bliz has just made the DLC as easy as possible for them. Warfronts, make a map with a standardized gamemode. Islands, make a map with standardized objectives. Azerite traits, make a trait u spec into to barely effect a trait (or act as a trinket). It all seems very uninspired.

The infinite progression with the azerite system is quite an annoying thing too, I know, that people like the 'paragon' system in diablo 3, but it's not suitable for an MMO RPG game, because it just makes people feel, that they've missed a way of improving if they don't spend all their time on the most effective way of getting the azerite... there should be a cap and not a soft cap, but hardcap, maybe a bit hard to get, but a final value you can achieve and that's it, you don't have to farm that sh*t from that point and you can actually have fun playing the game instead of an artificial progress bar, that you try to fill up again... and again.... and again... and again.... and again....
