One thing though: Artix games can have *deep* storylines. My absolute favourite was The Devourer Saga, where basically everyone in Lore teams up to fight a fantasy Death Star that is also Satan. You had new characters and old, and their relationships. Characters died, betrayed each other, and Th'Galin (the Death Star Satan) actually has a tragic backstory. Yes, you still fight frogzards and have bad puns and all that stuff. The key is the dark stuff needs to contrast the light heartedness. I was already playing AQ for a few years by the time The Devourer Saga started, so the change in tone was shocking in itself. The same thing with Dragonfable. You spend the majority of the game taking boxes from Smeevils and finding magic socks, and like 10% figuring out your baby dragon is actually the evil one of a pair that will decide the fate of the world. Also the good one was turned into a dracolich named fluffy.

Exactly this! The main appeal for AQ games are the deep and engaging storyline, hidden under a blanket of puns and jokes. That is why I keep coming back every few year or so to see if there’s any new storyline. I had even got the Darkside class

Dragonfable is a game I've replayed at least 5 times through the main stories because of the amount of humor Take a quest with the paladin artix. You're supposed to sneak into an undead lair disguised as undead. When you are stopped by the gatekeeper for not looking undead, your verbal defense is 'magic' to which the gatekeeper just says "hmm checks out" This goes on for a while, but at the same time Paladin Artix has his urge to vanquish evil rising constantly, so as soon as you convince the gatemaster to let you in, Artix attacks, blowing your cover Another example is the book 1 antagonist, Sepulcher, who hatches a dragon opposing your own, turning it into a skeleton and calling it 'Fluffy' It's perfect storytelling, perfect mix of humor and indeed deep story. I'll revisit it again at some point.

@edhofiko7624

I remember playing AQW with similar plot? You are meant to sneak into area with undead. To make that disguise you need to kill some undead and collect their bone. Then someone make the disguise for you. However instead of disguosed like a real bone, your disguise is a grocery bag with a badly drawn skull and you wear it like a hat. Damn artix has got one of the best joke for giggles.

Ouch you missed something HUGE on Brutalcorn: after he dies, a teleport appears where he was standing to let you leave. If you're not directly on that spot, you don't instantly port out, and he'll actually respawn after a minute or whatever, and he does in fact have drops (and an achievement for killing him a bunch of times). You just didn't get anything cause you got booted due to standing on spot the teleporter spawned into. So the problem there is not that there are no drops, the problem is that the teleporter can spawn on top of your character and instantly teleport you out, instead of having say 3 different possible locations and coding to ensure it doesn't spawn on a person... also yeah more fanfare for his demise would be nice.

Besides Dragonfable.. It was just as carefree and lighthearted as the others at first but overtime the story took some on some dark and serious undertones. We've seen NPC'S who've been with us from the literal beginning die while being made to feel all but helpless as we do our best to fight against each and every threat but still can't prevent some of the NPC'S we've grown closest to over the years from dying in the end. With Dragonfable I feel like I literally never know which character will be killed off next or which city or town will be completely destroyed (because both of these things has happened more than once). I play Dragonfable to take part in the story to and see what will continue to take place within the world whereas with the others it's like I was just playing to kill time. Dragonfable is the only AE game that seemed to have actually grown up and mature with it's player base. I still play Dragonfable to this day just to see how the main storyline will continue to develop but the others are all either too childish or just not serious enough for me. Book one was lighthearted and carefree but Books 2-3 where when things actually started to take on a more serious feeling or approach. Especially book 3.

At first the controls confused me since I am used to playing MMOs on PC. However, once I got the hang of the mobile controls I had a lot of fun playing. It's not the most sophisticated MMO, but I think thats why I enjoyed it so much. I am guessing I can do crossplay with my PC and I probably will since I brought the premium Guardian thingy to keep playing when I finished the tutorial. It's the kind of game I will likely enjoy in small bursts, in that regard the fact you can play it on mobile is certainly a plus. Just me though, but as a mobile MMO at very least it's quite enjoyable imho.

This game is all about grind I've played since release on mobile and was max level with all class till the more recent expansion sandseas I love this game but the down side is, all the early areas tend to be really low populated because all the content is moved to the recent expansion and that goes for every expansion that releases. I grinded two weeks to make at the time the best weapon in game and it was a staff that took 666 materials of 3 different mats to make. After making it about a month later the next area was released in the story line making my weapon irrelevant. That's the biggest complaint for me. If you see people in the earlier areas they are most likely farming skins as some weapons look sick af but their stats are garbage as you would need to play the most recent area to even have competitive gear. The PVP I'm this game is horrendous would not recommend and virtually nobody plays or bothers with it. There is no real healing classes aside from two classes have a healing power but that's it.

Definitely a really fun and cool game, but I think they need to give some love to those earlier zones and make them more solo friendly since there's not much of a reason to go back to them stat-wise. Though it'd be really cool if certain dungeons & boss fights where labelled as "End Game" and the armor/weapons you get from them would always be the level you needed, so endgame players would have a greater variety of content to run.

The Sneevils stole the chest the dragon egg was in, but because they were only interested in it because it was a cool-looking box, they immediately dumped its contents out, so you had to go locate it. And part of the joke with that is that this was content released over a period of *months,* so you were constantly like. On the *edge* of finding this chest, only for some bizarre and absurd Artix thing to happen that put you one step back. Every step along the way felt like an escalation, so while for some people I imagine it was frustrating, on a level it was also exciting to just see what they were going to pull out next. And there's also the fact that when the egg was finally ready to hatch, the way they announced it was by changing the little log-in news blurb to "zOmg! You should talk to Twilly!" Here it's just sorta. "Haha, Sneevils only want the box, the thing you want is directly below you." idk; doesn't feel like it's got quite the same pull to it.

It took me most of the video to realize that I played AdventureQuest when I was like... 9. I genuinely enjoyed it a lot at the time.

Yeah, I have to admit the fact AQ and Dragon Fable still get updated is freaking dedication. I still go back and play Dragon dable just because its on of those games you can just spend time doing quests on.

I remember playing Adventure Quest in the school library during recess, back when even the most advanced sprites looked like they were drawn in MS Paint. And it was fun. I liked the humor. I liked the story. I liked the world and exploring the expanding lore. I enjoyed how most of the time it felt like I was just doing a bunch of sidequests completely divorced from the main plot, because the fact that not all the issues of the world were connected made it feel bigger and more alive. Sadly, what was the biggest strength of the 2D games seems to be this game's greatest weakness. Doing a short sidequest between classes worked in its 2D format, but that's not fun in an MMO.

that present at 32:12 casually rolling past you in the middle of a fight followed by a little pumpkin actually made me laugh out loud

Saying that you have to cut them some slack because they're new to 3d is like saying a brilliant chef who is just starting baking should be cut slack because he's new to baking but was good at grilling. You have to judge by what they're trying to do

This criticisms are actually great since they are a small team. They keep improving and changing. The problem with AQ3D is the beginning of the game is not great, but when you come to higher level, so many good shit happens.

There are hundreds if not thousands of games that do what this game does, better. If it was 2014, yes then this game would be decent. but even then it would be outshined by countless games.

It takes skill, and even the games above take some skill, time and expetise and they are much much more enjoyable objectively. AQ3D is just unfun, unskilled trash.

>very long polite message >Twitter message Pick one, you can't have both.

So I love your reviews and critiques, they're always a pleasure to watch. That being said, I actually disagree with the take of telling the player every small detail they need to know for gameplay explicitly. I'm referring to around the 6 minute mark where the boss has indicators telling you where he'll attack, but you're never directly told "red place bad". I think this was a very clever and intuitive gameplay design to let players learn on their own how combat here worked, and it does so in a way that lets the player get to learn through experience rather than a hand-hold, which imo would belittle the learning experience. I think there is a lot of power in making your systems learnable without info dumping a ton of text to explain all of those systems. This is, of course, a very simple example, but I think scales appreciably to many aspects of games overall, not just MMO's. The key concept and underlying belief I have here is that most players aren't entirely idiotic and, even if new to games, can draw upon real world experience and contextual clues to work out simpler mechanics like "oh, I'm fighting this big scary skeleton, but he hasn't attacked me yet. I should probably get away from that big red box that's filling up where I am." Otherwise, stellar video as always. Cheers!

I am been fan of Artix entertainment since original aq , this game is perhaps one of the most favorite MMO I have ever played 1. The fast accessibility to hop on to this game is awesome , 2. You got total of 14 classes you can automatically switch at anytime , 3. The optimization of phone to PC is awesome , 4. Graphics and scenery is beautiful , 5. Cosmetic design and other gear look the best compared to any other game , 6. The community for AQ3D is a very positive and supportive for all players more then I can say to other MMO, 7. AQ3D have always get weekly updates so the player can always have something to do and there only getting better. The downfall for this game is no quest book or log to know where you stand in this game, right now I am tier gold max player and I don’t know what quest is what to complete because they don’t tell you what you have complete so far , each class goes up to 100 going to lvl 50 to 100 is pointless makes no benefit to stats or your account this might take you 200 hours worth to get a legendary title which bunch of lame text on the top, at times they do release some repeated useless content they no one cares about on some weeks but past 4 months they been doing a good job.

Hundreds would have been already mental, but actual thousands and tens of thousands?! Bloody hell. 2) The scaling is beyond me, I had to go and farm stuff out and forward of the natural progression of the main saga to actually get a slight fighting chance with the content, which drops weaker stuff and is actually scaled lower than your level...Artix, how and why?

I actually like the beginning of this game. It explains how we are able to respawn and it was hilarious to get smacked around cartoon-style. Really shows that is what they are really good at.

A series of the best MMO's too I'd love to see. There's only a few MMO's that I would play for a long time and I can even count them on one hand.

I tried to play adventure quest again (not the MMO, the oldschool one) after a 15 year break. In the first 10 minutes, before I was even level 2, I was offered to buy shit with real money like 4 times. In fact, on the first monster i defeated, I got the option to keep the item he dropped temporarily for free or keep it permanently if I pay RL money. Instantly deleted it. Was a massive turnoff.

You know, the sad thing is I think I came up with a way that apple tree quest could have worked perfectly by relying on their witty writing. Start off by telling the player they can find an apple from the apple tree in apple Grove just down apple path (the "convenient" naming joke was a thing I remember them doing alot) andonce you'rethere, ratherthan havea quest arrowpointing youto where to go, instead, it's a question mark. As the player checks trees, have them all bearing increasingly bizarre fruits. Then have one final tree that has apples, but surprise, it's alive and angry, so you bossfight, then when you beat it, it's loot drops are all apples (with a cheeky line of flavor text about loot drops that I'm not being paid so I won't try to work out). Like that feels perfectly in their style of humor, and it took so little to come up with!

I just like the simplicity of AE games, makes it easy for me since i don’t like RPG games because it’s usually way to much going on to know what to do and why.

I like the complexity of RPG's, make them unique tbh.

"A visual glitch." You... you mean the snow drift? Because the Christmas theme is on?

Ah, you've put into words what I couldn't! The identity thing. I remember being concerned about Risk of Rain 2 going 3D after the first game did so well on 2D. I'm glad I was proven wrong, the second game is fun, but I still kinda fondly miss and remember RoR1's 2D style. :c

I've been playing this game and yeah, that's how it looks initially. I keep hearing "travel form this, travel form that" and even if i'm a guardian there's a bunch of them you can grind for.

19:30 you actually accidentally exited the brutalcorn exit zone right after killing Brutalcorn. There WERE rewards, but you sadly left the area without realizing you were in the spot to do so.

New players probably do it all the time too. It's pretty bad that it's that easy to walk out on loot completely by accident without ever realizing. He seems pretty used to mmos and still misses something like that isn't good for the game.

Why is the load zone so close to where the fight happens in the first place.It should be a bit further away, players might not accidentally run out.

@@AcerKF Ok, but _why_ does the quest at the tavern ask you if you want to leave, and that one doesn't? That's some really inconsistent and shoddy design.

I did a playthrough of the starting experience a few years ago, and it had some elements that I liked, but overall, I was a bit disappointed. A few things I found jarring back then: It was a beta, but the feedback I provided was often swatted aside with excuses about how "that was on purpose" (like when I suggested that the PC client should have keybindings for things like I being inventory, M being a map, etc. At the time, I was informed that this wouldn't be possible due to the game also shipping on mobile, but they eventually added most of these features anyway). Another big issue I personally had with the game that you didn't mention, is that your inventory fills up really quickly. You can spend real money on a bigger inventory, but quest items are stored in your normal inventory, and if you want some sort of cosmetic set as well as an equipment set, you need to have 2 complete armor sets in your bag at all times. There's no character panel to store equipped items on, so it all just takes up space. Been watching through a bunch of your old videos but I really connected with this one, since I was an alpha and beta tester of this game as well.
