questionable if team yoship have played WHM any time recently
Yoshi wants all this negativity gone and everyone to have fun playing their favorite games again. I wouldn't be surprised if Yoshi speaks with some WoW devs occasionally and knows there's a couple holdouts trying to steer the game back into the right direction, but I don't have any hope for the game. Yoshi was fortunate with ffxiv where the company understood the damage not fixing the game would cause. Activision-Blizzard only see's WoW as a cash-cow, they don't care about the player, just how they get the money from them.
Just to say too, yoship mains black mage and is pretty dang good at it, one of the few jobs that lock you to a position cause of its laylines mechanics, so he does what he says he does about learning raid mechanics.
They don't have time to play WoW. Turning women to fruits, removing offensive Don Quixote references and selling the Boosts is a full time job.
There's a story about Yoshi P playing FF14 and one of the RMT whispered him about selling Gil. Ever since then, he implemented a shortcut that sends notification to the GM on RMT. This alone proves why it's important to have devs play their own game.
heh, i saw that title and the first that came to my head was "now damnit, i've seen full on livestreams with Yoshi P on his Lalafell black mage…" lol.
I think Ion raids… period… sometimes…
yea… slight difference there.
Not playing the game you're leading is like commanding a ship via discord, it'll never work right
Its years old news that yoshi p has been a black mage main. It's been no secret
Why does everyone always call them tombstones and not tomestones
Nah, I believe wow dev also grind torghast and korthia each day! …lol
Well yoshi p is a black mage
Hey guys I literally can't find your bellular gaming channel. I know you said the URL doesn't work, but I can't even find it through search.
On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.” ― Satoru Iwata.
i think they do but only hardcore stuff, and most of ppl dont do hardcore stuff, hence why social aspect of ff is so appreciated
Joke's on you, I'm on Bellular Clips! (I don't spend much time on Twitch)
This sounds like something that should be obvious.
But the developers SHOULD be the ones who're the best at their game, maybe not necessarily parcing 90+ but they should know their game well enough to be able to clear all the content, they should know the story, and they should know all the elements of the game that builds the game.
It's weird when you're willing to put tens of thousands of hours into a game but there's not a single game on the market that's able to provide what you're looking for. I'll just have to wait for the AI to replace class/ability designers and the story departments before I can scratch that itch. It's weird how some press from devs is just completely reasonable and doesn't bother you, and others come off like they were specifically designed to engage with the outrage algo.
Addendum: "Do they even play their own game… LIKE THE PLAYERS PLAY THE GAMES THEY MAKE?"
Yoshi is such a pure soul, his burn on WoW was unintentional 🤣
Life as a developer – scheduled 9 to 5. Actual 9am to whenever we can finally finish our build. I've done many 1am, 2am etc nights.
Another content creator on the Media Tour asked Yoshida how much he actually plays. Remember that he's in Squenix's board of directors, director of the entire division of the company in charge of both 14 and 16 and lead producer of both projects. That's an insane amount of hats he wears.
If I understood correctly (can't find the video now grrr), he said on average 2h a day. Two bloody hours, in a schedule that probably requires one of those Harry Potter time turners…
Edit: Found it, it was Zepla's interview lol. https://youtu.be/8_mdi8RMbRk?t=281 if you want to see for yourselves. Also using his own personal account on the company's PC, power move.
At least they've now hired one guy to play their game – seems that's his purpose, but maybe I'm wrong. 😂
I cant count the number of times that theyve added a feature or made a change that literally no one asked for and as soon as it was seen in patch notes the entire community agreed that it was the greatest thing ever. You cant get that from a dev team that doesnt play its own product, period.
This is an unfair criticism, there's no way WoW devs have the time to make the game, troll Twitter AND engage the endless hours of timesinks they massage into the game to hit retention metrics.
Ion should stream with Mike.
Blizz: "do you guys even HAVE phones?!"
SE: "do you guys even PLAY your own game?!"
I want to know his thoughts about blizzard's scandal
I've watched all your VODs over the past months and while I'm generally a fan I've noticed that you complain in every stream how tired you guys are. Its not just this episode but legit every Friday stream it feels like you guys spend at least 5 minutes talking about how out of it you are mentally and I think maybe you should just change your scale to where you only do the stream every second friday for example. It would work well since lets be honest theres not a lot of WoW news anyways.
Mike Ybarra did respond to this stating he was running M+, and selling heroic carries, lol
The WoW dev that does play also actively promotes something that hurts the integrity of the game.
WoW devs also play their game, they even sell runs.
Yoshi P: ask a genuine question about whether the dev plays their own game
World: ON FIRE FROM HIS POWER
I mean, he does main BLM 😂
Blizz doesnt want you to buy boosts/in game items with RL money…. but allows you to buy wow token with real money to buy in game content/items. They just wont admit they were too lazy to deal with the RMT problem, so they decided to profit off it themselves.
I wonder when he’ll stop referring to tomestones as tombstones.
Why is playing your game embarassing, if you dont play your own game your a fool or didnt really make it? You guys support a company that a young woman committed suicide because of sexual harass and assault then they shared her 'V' pics around the office and no one said shit so you are weak, stop giving them money or they will not change, sick ass MFers?????
Even the music composers for ffxiv play it.
I wish Bellular would record his reaction to major plot points
I've seen countless pictures on twitter from japanese players playing savage raids with Yoshida. It's so cool but also I'm jealous!!
Deathwing fans vs Bahamut enjoyers
Of course Blizzard developers play WoW, at least little. At least on a developer server as they need to test their new features and bug fixes.
Weird how the notion that people who are selling a non-sex/gender related product should have continued experience using the product is considered unusual.
To the question how does he find time to play the game, he said it in the Zepla interview. Every morning, when he comes to the office, he launches FFXIV on his work computer and play an hour or 2 on his personal account. (less now that they are in the Endwalker last rush before launch)
World of Warcraft didn't learn from World of Warcraft. – Matt 2021
Now that's powerful.
Wow dev team make a game that they themselves did not wanna play
Is it just me or does bellular seem a bit more positive lately?
I mean, he might not have intended to cast meteor on blizzard.. that doesn't mean he didn't.
