  1. <3 always nice to see you enjoy the videos man, thanks a lot for the nice words at the end it really means a lot. Always gives me anxiety since I've watched you for years and if you didn't like the video it would be a true feelsbad moment. Sorry about the potential spoiler, I didn't think they had spoilers in the main trailers.

  2. New content is the enemy of a long lasting game. Why? If players and the developers are of the mindset that their needs to be a steady stream of new content, that means there are going to be constant changes to the game. If the game is a good game, then changing it continuously is dangerous.

    Content is not the only way to make a game replayable. Look at Diablo 2. Very little content, but people put TONS of time into it.

  3. Asmon really needs to stop crying about the Bolvar vs Sylvanas fight.

    Sylvanas was empowered by the maw and Bolvar didn't have frostmourne which makes up a great deal of the Lich Kings power, add to that the possibility that the lich king was still severely weakened from his with "Us" and this conclusion was not only plausible but extremely likely.

    Could they have introduced us better to Sylvanas's level of power before she beat Bolvar? sure they could have but the end result is the same and so are the reasons for why it happened…they're perfectly understandable, people just don't want Sylvanas to have a victory over the lich king because he's their favorite or one of their favorite WoW antagonists.

  4. It's literally just marketting and all these people online are too dumb to take note of their own short term emotional responses lul
    It didn't blow up over nothing.
    Squre Enix is paying peeps to stir this up xD xD xD
    All the new mmos coming out this year? And next year?
    QoL simulators being added to the game?
    Ya they're ready to put 14 on the shelf, they know theres a real storm over the horizon lmao.
    You guys talk about activions firing their teams?
    SE does the same stuff.
    They won't even hold onto voice actors, because it costs money.
    Fired their original team after f'n the game up.
    And replaced them with yoshi, the market guru lool
    See, after this wave of dumbasses come and go. I'll still play ff14. But I know what ff14 is, a very shallow mmo. Developed by a very greedy company lmao.
    Where was the transparency from SE when they requested to harvest US user data?
    Cause they wanted our data to market Marvel Universe?
    SE only wants to know how much you're willing to be gouged as a NA player.

  5. Also.
    Try questioning SE about stuff.
    They won't give you back and forths.
    They'll just block you or ban your account if they don't like what you're talking about, even if you're correct.
    SE forums for 14?
    A bunch of weird neurotic people.
    Make a post about why they should focus on pvp.
    You'll have 5+ people with 5+ characters spamming your forum post about as to why thats a horrible idea and this just isn't a pvp game.
    FF14= don't believe in freedom of speech or freedom of thought, but you can talk about killing whites or Americans or down with America nonsense.
    WoW= You can just be yourself. Free to be offended or free to just do you.
    I hardly even talk to people in this game, they are trashy weirdos.

  6. I had been battling with the idea of unsubbing to my WoW account, this video did it for me. The fact that a billion dollar company probably starts their board meetings with "what's asmongold saying this week?" is fucking awesome. You pissed off a life long fan of the game and now he has an army of people that agree with him.

  7. California, the State o, has recently brought a Lawsuit against activision Blizzard for gross non-compliance with the states fair work regulations and and its gross neglect of women rights and safety with in the company. It's a fascinating read and might offer some insight into where the actual rot comes from in terms of Blizzards shitful performance recently

  9. 4:50 well man, competitive games HAVE to be balanced//built around the 1% players capacity to play… to give an exemple from stuff that i know, look at dota2… they balance hard to play heroes like chen,io, arc warden, tinker, invoker etc around the top 1% of pro players… thats why most average players cant play those heroes correctly at all, thats why the winrate of those heroes in overall datas across all games played (including shit rank, medium rank, high rank, tournament play, all datas) will have those heroes winrate be the lowest in the game, like 30-40% winrate and shit …. meanwhile if you take ONLY the very high rank games data and tournament datas, those heroes are either constantly banned from picking or have around 50% winrate or higher than 50% winrate consistantly… at the same time where they got 35% winrate on average ranks… lol

    if instead they balanced heroes and abilities to make heroes balanced at the average ranking so that all heroes have the closest possible % winrate to 50% on the OVERALL data, then some heroes would have like 80% winrate in tournaments and high rank games and some other would have 20% winrate lmfao… cause if you take a hard to play hero and make his ability so overpowered and make its damage/heal/health values so high that the average shit player can still have 50% winrate with that hero while only using like 30% of its potential…. youll end up having the people able to really unlock the hero's 100% potential being completely broken and unable to lose a game…

    its the same in wow!! the game//skills/abilities etc values have to be based around great players… shitters either you practice if u wanna be half good with hard to master stuff or just stay away from hard to master stuff and just play paladin in classic wow… lmfao or ice mage for raids…. the damage rotation is easy guys!! press 1 hotkey for frostbolt….repeat until the boss dies

  11. I've been playing ffxiv for about 7 years now, since I had just started out high school. The characters, stories and the community have helped me through so many difficult times. I know many people are frustrated about the congestion caused by new players, but I think the majority of players are very happy about the influx of new players and want people to experience the game and community that they love so much. Also, its really cool to see so many people wanting to run old content at min ilvl, like ARR extremes, the coils, etc.

  12. Didn't they literally just make a good portion of the game free? I played it for like 10 hours and couldn't get pass how clunky the controls were. I'll give it like another month or two before the hype dies back down.
