Activision, the egg placed into Blizzard slowly gestating into a Chestburster… and it's almost ready to kill its host and ruin everything around it.
EU is not capitalism it's run by a bunch of socialists. Which why companies are getting the fuck outta there.
Also, Vivendi is scumbags. There as bad as Activision. They don't actually make games just take over companies. But they merged into activision blizzard.
That makes no sense blaming Brexit because France in the EU if you want to stay in the EU. They complain about the EU. But complain about being out the EU. Yeah…. make up your mind. Oh it was Jason Schier who said it was Brexit wow anti-Brexit guy blaming Brexit surprise.
It makes sense blizzard was sjw. It did after all donate 4 million to black only charities. Wow, so progressive segregation. That will teach that vile guy that said race doesn't matter Martin Luther King and his ideals of non-segregation.
Bolvar could not fight the power of a mind control necklace Onyxia gave him. No fucking way he resisted the helm.
They have given at least shaman 2 new mana tools to help with this. They now have mana tide totem and water shield. I don't know if other healers have gotten something similar.
When throttling gameplay becomes a core mechanic it’s a sad day.
One of many major changes specifically centered around preventing how quickly a player can process content by simply slowing them down vs meaningful and challenging game mechanics.
I had this feeling that EU WoW is going to suffer. It's already happening. When Shadowlands prepatch launched, we could not play for three days, because either servers were down or people got DCed constantly. US launch was smoother I imagine
Wait wasn’t asmongold the won’t who hated artifacts cause of the grind and ruining weapon progression lol
The mythic+ is the problem
There's obviously a lot of details regarding the merge
But
BLIZZARD JOINING ACTIVISION IS THE MOST SMOOTH BRAIN BULLSHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE. Talk about making a deal with the fucking devil.
"Don't be an asshole" he says while regularly being an asshole lmao
they work for the company. they are just as evil as the ceo's
probs closing french office in the EU to open in England and save money on tax rules due to Brexit? Not sure, all about the money tho.
Borrowed power and progressive raiding? Its a pay to win game now, in order to go down that route you would have to get rid of the whole wow token system and lets face it, as long as Activision is running the show that will never happen.
Why are they allowed to eat and drink in arena at all? One second i'll grab a quick bite to eat while this bloke is trying to skewer me with a sharp piece of metal. i mean why not? Nothing could make arena any worse.
Developers shouldnt make these calls tbh.. bad choice.
We haven’t gotten a new talent slot for 3 expansions. They just keep moving them around and swapping them out. All because of borrowed power
Henry Cavil is a WOW player, he was in a raid and saw his phone ring for Superman, he decided to ignore it to save his mates in the raid.
DUDE! Castlevania animation was soo goooood!!!
the point is every expansion is like a new season in D3. thats way you feel that you lose all your progress. But you dont lose them, it melts into something called EXPERINCE so you lvld your SKILL to play the game. GRATZ! DING! aoe explosion.
I think Jailor ninja looted 🙂
god i hate activision
Ugh why is tipsout still a thing
Artifact weps were cool but that was too big of a thing to move forward with.
Well if Rocky can be Rambo why cant Geralt be Arthas ?
I don't understand people crying about Sylvanas kicking the ass of Bolvar. Bolvar is strong cuz he has Jailors toy helmet, while Sylvanas is strong cuz Jailor himself gave her borrowed power of Maw covenant. So basically Bolvar had a legendary but hasn't joined the covenant, easy.
Ok on the mana thing with drinking and how classes have changed, maybe blizzard should reevaluate the fact that only healers care about mana now. As a former warlock main I was devastated that there solution was to simply make mana management a redundant issue and instead of pre planning life tap to ensure my mana was available for my future rotation correctly I was given insane regen making me question why I even have mana since it plays no importance to my game play. This not only rendered part of my ui redundant since there was no reason to ever look at my mana bar but also removed a lot of skill based decision making both in pve and pvp. Prior to this change spamming fear was very taxing on mana which in turn meant lost health and valuable GCDs later that could be punished for an aggressive play. This same stem of thinking seems to of branched across many classes and I feel it's fair to say
Dear blizzard, look at the cause of the issues before trying to rectify them. And evaluate mistakes rather than sweep them under the rug, we players do see how you destroy good game design and do notice your refusal to admit mistakes made (like demomology warlock overhaul, it's still a god awful design and you still won't admit it was way better in past because demonhunters were good $$$ selling point)
Browch !
well that is one more reason to kill the jailer in a Raid
Blizzard just keeps trying to get new players in but in doing that they’re losing millions of subs for every thousand fortnite player they get to try the game for a week
Activision to Blizzard is like the corruption of the void.
I think a wow show would work if you made a pulp fiction follow the threads of 5 different sets of people running into each other going to different places.
If you ignore the employees and only hate "the company" then the company will use its employees as a shield.
since activision took over in 2008, everything has been going to shit.
Blizzard is like WotC: a husk.
Asmongold: “Don’t be an asshole”.
Also Asmongold: Ninja Loots chests over rolling for them, steals a Warglaive, Constantly talks about how big of an asshole he’s been in his past, Ect…
Your viwers need to stop conflating free market capitalism and bureaucratic corporativism. They are very different.
"Capitalism" – Well, how capitalistic is it that the government rolls over you, prohibits you from being outside or having your business run normally, or at all? Does this sound like "Capitalism" to you? This is pure government coercion, pure authoritarianism – that is the opposite of Capitalism. Blizzard is crumbling, and the government only makes it harder for them by preventing them from cutting their losses.
And how "worker friendly" is it if you are taxed into oblivion because of all these socialist programs, that ultimately transfer the money of working people to everyone else not working – or worse: Working for the government? Maybe living under the boot with "protection" is WORSE than living in more liberty with a higher income and more self-determination?
I can see why blizzard wouldn't want to keep every single bit of power to prevent powercreep, but they're still doing a really bad job of preventing powercreep either way and that's natural in RPG style games… Just make sure you scale the content accordingly and don't only buff but also nerf some stuff along the way. Like asmon uses PoE for the example here, they tend to design content as a beta test pretty much to see if it can go core at some point. Usually, it will go core the league after, sometimes like in harvest, it will have to wait a while.
Sure, it adds a certain power creep to the game. Sure, you'll have to nerf things and scale content to be harder at some point. But all that considered PoE is still inherently a better-designed game than Diablo 3, it's not even a competition anymore at this point. Why? Chris Wilson cares about meaningful content and player feedback, that's why. Now PoE is having a major struggle with performance lately, but they do a beta test every 3 months, that's a new beta before they even fixed the problems in the old one entirely, because they need that mtx money to keep making all this innovative content. Now with the monthly subscription model on WoW AND the fact you have to pay for every expansion on a yearly basis AND they still have mtx in the game AND the fact their rotation is 4 times slower, I see no reason why Blizzard wouldn't be able to pull off a design philosophy like this and not have things break in the process. Blizzard has the time, personnel and resources to knock it out of the park so not doing so is always gonna feel like a poor design choice to me. They choose for the game to be worse than it could be.
15:15 "that's good for arena!"… arena is a minute part of wow.. messing up the gameplay of the rest of the game to improve tiny shard of it – bad.
come on, lich king killing sylvanas? PLEASE. (vanilla undead here) none of the bosses or kings/warchiefs could or can.
alliance, go raid UC 😀
Funny thing here is: when Ben left hearthstone….. I felt like the game got better. Ya game got expensive too. But man some of that F2P content rocks and that’s all I play now.
But there is an animated series for Castlevania on netflix. Does he not know about it? 57:12
When micro transactions made their way into the game it became evident that Activision had sunk its claws in. Activision was not supposed to have any control over the direction of WoW but it is clear that they have heavily influenced WoW. Unfortunate because the more control activision has the worse their developers games get. Can't wait to buy 100 loot boxes so I can win the WoW
Asmon got no clue about armor I see;)
the cancer that is activition is now steping up the dismemberment of blizzard fire all blizzard staff AND THEN ACTIVITION keeps its staff .. no more blizzard !
it is all down to the $
