World of Warcraft is in a low right now. Criticism is all well and good, but in this video I've compiled a list of suggestions I think would improve the game overall.
If you have any suggestions, requests, or just general feedback let me know in the comments or with a message. I try my best to answer or at least read as many as I can.

If only. They don't change the name, even. It's just gets more numbery. I prefer classic system where you can learn the name of the item you want, it sounds cool and it matters. Maybe toned down a bit so you can have second and third options for every slot that are weaker but still viable.

@baldie80
@baldie80 4 года назад
@@powerovercorrupt I can see what you're saying about end game gear, in the last tier of the expansion, but even so the gear treadmill has increased its' incline by1000% or more since Pandaria or Warlords. In those expansions there was a hard "BIS" for almost every gear slot (usually tier pieces) and while that rotated with each new raid tier you at least knew when you had reached peak gearing. The point Mads is trying to make is that while there is a mind-numbing number of potential activities available to pursue "advancement", almost all the gear available is 1000 versions of the same thing. Sure there are a few exceptions out there if you really know where to look and want to put in the effort to focus on that content, but layering RNG on top of RNG to try to get an upgrade to already pretty good gear means that almost nothing is ever going to give a sense of satisfaction or accomplishment. No gear stands out because almost all gear is the same-smelling rose but by a plethora of names. At the end of the day though, gearing is only one of the problems facing the game going forward. Too much of BfA felt like the busywork of making valentines holders for your desk in elementary school (or most other kids holiday craft projects - hand-tracing turkeys, egg carton Christmas trees, etc.). Sure it keeps you busy enough to prevent total boredom, but "not being bored" is not the same thing as actually having fun. Minesweeper or Solitaire can keep you "not bored" but after a while the repetition is mind-numbing, and that's what BfA feels like to me at this point. Before 8.3 the variety of playing my 3 different main classes (Paladin, Mage & DK) kept me going, but the Cloak system added so many more "mandatory" grinds that I just couldn't force myself to do it all multiplied by a factor of three.

One of the things I remember best from classic is how travelling, while long, slow and tedious -was the thing that gave me the best memories. You would have to be alert so that you didn't die from high lvl mobs, cause the graveyard could set you back 10 minutes easily. That part sucked, but it's a sacrifice I was willing to pay. Since everyone was travelling on ground you had an increased odds of meeting friendly players. And when you're walking for maybe 30 minutes to the next zone, meeting someone and talking to them, having fun with them really lessened the torment of the journey. Those interactions made the game feel alive. And then you also had an increased chance of meeting bad guys, especially in places like STV, or places for popular dungeons/raids. This gave the game a feeling of being populated, interactive and dangerous. Some people complain that "these high levels are ganking me and its ruining the game". But really, those were the fun parts. The parts where you ran for your life to escape death.. or where you banded together with other people to return the favor. Like travelling to a dungeon for 30 minutes with your party gave you a chance to make friends. Sure, the bad parts happened where the tank DC'd or quit the group, and then the party disbanded because it would take an hour to get back there. But rewards dont come without sacrifice. Friends, community, interactions with other people. That's what made this game so great for me. That, and the feeling of getting the loot I wanted, after farming a boss for like a week.

Just bring back the Pvp system from MoP or WoD, where honor was a currency That you get simply From playing bgs (you didnt have to win to get Honor). So if you are pvp player you just had to Play bgs, get honor and Buy all blue items you could get, and when u are full equiped with honor equip you start to do Arenas or RBGs for conquest points to buy the epic sets and weapons. Its all i want for shadowlands. So you dont have to do endless pve content to get an alt equipped.

@@huultah you mean you preferredolder different stats? That's a crude but effective look at stats - every class and spec has some to prioritarize ( save exceptions ) but they benefit from all of them for their role - crit chance increases parry for example, mastery for warriors increases block in protection. That looks plain, but it's a huge step up from older stat versions - i mean, look at classic, as healer you have ONE stat to worry about which is healing power, and as a dps you have only hit chance/rating to worry outside the other stat to max out, save some crit shenanigans that can be managed out only by simming. Tank stats like dodge, parry and block are ties to mastery and crit basically, they only differenc eis that the sape piece of gear can be useful to dps as well. Plus, there is versatility. That said yeah, i agree they aren't amazing. HAste specifically does too much.

@Maintenance Renegade Yeah, that's another thing too. You mentioned the Fishing Pole, and I just remembered doing the Kalu'ak quests to obtain it back then.

And at the end, the Fishing Pole was cool and let you breathe underwater, but it wasn't like it was absolutely needed to play the game... It was just something fun. Unlike now where you have to do dailies in Nazj'atar or Mechagon just to unlock Flying. It's the only reason I still force myself to play, and even then, when I think why I'm doing it, it's to have less travel time between even more dailies. What the hell, man :( .....

@Maintenance Renegade Honestly, Once Cata hit outside of the confusing story line (at least for me) it felt like they were starting to slip with the game kinda like having two hands hanging from a ledge. Then mist came and as much as I loved it thematically from the small bits of end game content of it I saw it seemed like they were subtly slipping in what made WoD so horrifying for a lot of players (mainly timeless isles and the token system is what I'm thinking of). WoD was the nail home that made the 1st hand slip off. Thankful Legion was good enough that the other held on as hard as it could. but with how much BfA feels like it was still in it's beta phase with all it's RNG and tweaking even now that hand is starting to slip. We can only hope Shadowlands will give it a better grip.

Thanks, MadSeason. You give a voice to those of us who've loved this game since the old days and have sadly had to watch it fall to such a low point. I sincerely hope Blizzard is listening because every point you've raised is solid and agreed upon by the silent majority of past WoW players. If anyone disagrees, let me just point out that there is a reason millions of players came back to play classic whereas current WoW has under a million players rn (according to third parties).

@@elitebooger8208 That's because the strategies being used in Classic have been perfected over 15 years by the people playing on Private Servers, not because the content is easy. In Classic pushing buttons mattered. Levelling mattered (and took time and skill). Positioning and pulling mattered. Gear mattered and was unique. Doing things often required other people, and finding (and befriending) those other people made the Massively Multiplayer part actually true (and made it matter). If it's not your cup of tea that's fine, we aren't going to make you play it. On the other hand, simply dismissing Classic entirely just because a tiny subset of players (who have been essentially playing the same content non-stop for 15 years) have perfected the art of clearing Classic's Raids is not a fair examination of anything except your own bias.

Yeah, back it used to be about making games fun for the player, now it's all /time played, and making 90% of content be daily chores. No new dungeon content and literally unless you play one or two of 100 dead alliance servers not named Stormrage you can't raid as alliance. People are forming 25000 population hyperclusters just to have people to play, while the non cross guild makes raiding dead on 95% of servers where even my top 5 alliance pop server now only has a single mythic raiding guild that has all 20/20 raiders and benched me despite a 90% parse because even though i was geared.. i wasn't unemployed as the other 10 coronavirus applicants were who could have a 90% raid attendance raid. Not to say it could see the point but it feels terrible when they refuse to put on mythic flex raiding caring about "INTEGRITY OF BALANCE" when they literally DESPAWNED THE FINAL BOSS of last world first race and killed bosses for the #2 guild so it wouldn't be 8/12 M Method after their 4th world first vs 12/12M Limit getting thirsty and pushing. Who cares about the "INTEGRITY OF THE GAME" if the game design is purposely dead to 50% of the population with no population fix, or cross server grouping for alliance. World first races sacrifice game design with raiders who LITERALLY, LITERALLY use unemployment benefits to play are the catered target content. Don't have 25-30 hours a week to raid non stop? Where does 90% of new content development go. not on content the 90% plays. I get that ion was a raid lead, but the amount of focus that raids that barely anyone can actually physically play at mythic while m+ is neglected with no new dungeons is droll. I wish they'd have more dungeons or introduce new dungeons with Raid patches. Forget 12/12 raid bosses, 0 dungeons. I want 1-2 new dungeons a patch with new loot. Maybe a weekly 5 man challenge dungeon to double the loot in your weekly cache.

You know a small, small, small part of me was like: "man, what if I did go back to Retail?" But instead of working on my warrior, work on my rogue - since I'm enjoying it on Classic. But as soon as I saw the daily list, and all the things that I would have to do to catch up, I literally said: "Fuck that." I would rather make a new character from scratch on Classic (which I have, AND I'm enjoying it) than to come back to BFA on my already-existing 120 to try and catch up to be PvP/PvE ready. There's so many things too do, in fact - TOO many things to do - in Retail. The sheer amount of stretched content is overwhelming. Classic has a set amount of content that I am more than comfortable with repeating over and over again. Because as simple or reduced as Classic content is, it's actually fun to do. I enjoy running Scholomance / Stratholome / BRD / Dire Maul (Less so, because I don't like the aesthetic but that's a personal gripe) multiple times. But, when I last played a dungeon in BFA, I was exhausted and bored before I even finished it.

While you do get higher ilevel versions at higher levels it's primary point of value is the non-scalable activation ability. The best part is that it's good for some classes and broken op for others, well just for Fire mage, which is why all workshop runs get swarmed by mages.

I leveled along fine, reached max level, suddenly I was bombarded by half a billion suggestions to go everywhere, my quest log, which I hardly noticed existed before was suddenly too full to even take all these suggestions. I searched for a guide online on what the hell I was supposed to do, found a good five different ones all talking about completely different content, so I rushed into a flurry, unlocking mechagon, unlocking that underwater place, unlocking some other type of worldquests that I never really gathered what they were for, did the emissaries, slogged my way through what quests were available in mechagon and the waterzone, tried to progress the whole amulet storyline with Magni, on the way there noticing some sort of shit going on in uldun that I made a note of and then left alone. The next few days I did the same with slightly less vigor every day, on the 4th day, I logged in took a flight to Mechagon, went to read a book instead, found myself logged out due to inactivity, and the next day I just didn't log in again. I barely did anything in the game, got nowhere, understood nothing and I got too burned out to even want to log in again. A game have never ever made me feel this depressed, alone, isolated and apathetic ever before, so I guess if that was the goal of BFA, then they succeeded with it.

There are some examples of interesting loot in BfA. Sliver, Font, Mechagon bracers, Geti'ikku, Diver's folly to name a few off the top my head. You can also do N'zoth with a level 1 cloak, I did it on several characters.

One unique way to make stuff somewhat interesting again, even old content could be relevant to an extent is by; allow a certain sandbox element to the game. Where you can get a house & decorate it with your feats of strength / armour racks showing gear or weapons etc, Highly customisable nothing like the Baracks they forced on everyone .. give some control back to the ‘players’ not just a script of what is to be done. My opinion is minimal, I gave up on retail after sticking it out far to long hoping..

First, I only started playing Classic when they re-released it.. Growing up i was more sucked into games like C&C and Starcraft, shooters like Halo CE, 2 and 3.. but after watching people time timthetatman and cloakzy be so pumped for it, i dove it, and i LOVED it. It consumed me for months (Not going to lie its gotten stale now, more to come on that). After i leveled and started raiding i decided id check out current after hearing Asmon talk about it and that;s where my confusion started. There is no way for someone new to make any sense of what you should be doing / collecting. With classic it was very clear (for the most part).. where to go, which dungeon was next and what items were meant for your class..in BOA i literally get so overwhelmed with everything on my map, i log off. If i do happen to play and do something i wonder, was the the best way to spend my time? Did that even matter? I couldn't agree with your video more than raiding looks so much more fun in current (as i mentioned classic has grown stale) but you need to make the game understandable for new gamers with a level of complexity at the top end. just my opinion.

The timer thing and wanting to sleep is so spot on. I have stopped playing multiple times because I feel so stuck on this endless routine... Log on do nazjatar, mechagone, visions log off. Day in and out. It has gotten to the part where I play alts and old content because I just get so tired the second I get on my main and check my daily chores list. Yes I'm not forced to but this is almost all there is now. Why am I even grinding at this point? I love the game and have played it for 10+ years, I love the fighting and questing but this list of dailies? the endless slot machines I feel compelled to rush through only to see that I need to play the same slots 20 days straight for a specific mount I want and that there is no faster way for me to get it. The fact that a lot of rep grinding is restricted to WQ and dailies kills me, remember when you could kill mobs, go instances and collect tokens for rep? yeah not anymore, here is a 12h mission that gives 250 rep. I always maxed rep on my main, working to get a factions approval was fun. But now it's a job, a job that I pay money for. I really hope the next expansion ease of the whole WQ/daily thing...

I started playing WoW 22nd January 2020 in BFA and had no problem with World quests and dailies, also the catchup mechanic means when you reach lvl 120 you get a lvl 50 amulet one you activate the Heart Forge, and the azerite needed is just part every single quest anyway so you can do anything you like. This is fun for a lot of people, also not everyone wants to do raiding so you gatekeeping to only have good gear in Raids is just personal bias since you like them. I do want to see Class Identity as I love that for my class but not considering Catchup mechanics is just not genuine.

We should get all WoW streamers and WoW personalities to stand up and start a partition to quit for a month all at the same time! To quit "pay to win" in Classic and also take away some features from TBC like flying just to keep the ground interaction alive and in the fly zones we can see special flight master for certain zones that require fly only or you have to do a internment to get a whistle for that zone or special zones like Kaazak zone in BC maybe even keep the level cap at 60 and make every Dungon and Raid viable in BC! So as every expansion you get new raids and dungeons but still have the choice to run old ones as for gear that would still be viable! Given players and guilds more choices to pick and choose from every week to do a different 40/25 man raid every week!

@BlueShellshock
@BlueShellshock 4 года назад
Point I agree with most is to make loot interesting. There's something fun about customizing a character to your specifications. Finding a sword with lower overall DPS but slower speed means, despite the DPS, it will hit harder on active abilities. An upgrade that increases the damage of heavy attacks versus a same-slot upgrade that improves light attacks might have you considering whether you're after a bruiser style that trades blows or whether you try and avoid every hit. A non-stacking poison makes sense for someone who only hits once in awhile, whereas a lifesteal effect makes sense for someone always in the fray. These are fun and interesting decisions that change how a person plays their character. Even if a 'best' setup exists, it may not necessarily overshadow other styles if it has unique weaknesses it has to overcome, or second-best styles have cool mechanics that excel where the best setup doesn't.

The bit about the catch up mechanics and tedium is so true. I only just came back to the game last month and had spent most of it just playing new characters with my friends who had just started. But this week I decied that I wanted to try and gear up and possibly push into heroic Ny'alotha to try and get the mount. I have spent so much time trying to even get to the point where I can even do normal. Spending hours grinding my necklace up. Trying to figure out these corruptions and finally getting my legendary cloak only to find that I need to put further time into it so it is ready for the boss was just horrible. I like the horrific visions they are a pretty fun challenge to do in my opinion but you are so restricted on them after your initial lot. Having to grind for hour and hours over several days just to earn the right to play one feature in the game I pay a subscription to pay. Just doesn't seem fair. Compared to FF14 where catch up is "You can either buy some entry level gear crafters have made. Or you can go and do some dungeons and get some tokens you can exchange for some gear"

@@EB-bl6cc It could be, if the right people were brought back in and cared enough to extend Classic with new content in the old style. But Activision/Blizzard doesn't think that's the way forward so it's (sadly) not going to happen. That said, Classic is the perfect opportunity to split the player base in a healthy way. Those who like the "Retail" treadmill could keep it, while the fans of Classic could get new content, even if it was at a slower pace. Then, since Blizzard can doubtless track the numbers of "who plays which version of the game, and for how long" they could devote development resources to the version that is actually bringing in the cash. THAT said, I don't think they want to lose the extra revenue from things like store mounts/pets, and especially Token sales. All the features that have allowed them to make more money on fewer people are the same features that have caused there to be fewer people to make money on in the first place.

What I hope will happen after classic: TBC comes out, WOTLK comes out. THEN, blizzard develops a new expansion in the spirit of those three xpacs and starts a alternate, better timeline for wow. This would fix the problem of stagnation that will eventually happen with classic. That is if blizzard can still be trusted with developing a new xpac that is as good or better as the first three. Retail as it stands right now is too fucked to fix imho.

Daily content should be reserved for professions and rep grinds where the rewards are generally cosmetic or at least inconsequential to overall gearing. The netherwing grind was long and arduous, but if I didn't log in for a day I knew I would simply finish a day later than expected, with all of the RNG involved and less finite goals, missing a daily or a world quest means I might miss out on an amazing gear drop. I guess that is what they are going for but it feels bad, especially when I do all of my chores but don't really get rewarded for them. Situationally useful gear and specs is also a better route than trying to achieve hyper-balance and could reduce the need to grind for marginally better versions of the same item, imo. Requiring resistance based gear for some fights or areas feels more natural, and will give you something to work towards. It feels better to say "I'm getting wrecked in the poison swamp area better get some nature resistance gear", than "I got my bracer drop but there's no socket, guess I wasted an hour". Having fights that require different gear sets due to their damage type, or enemies that are resistant to damage types, requiring you to play more of your class or enlist help from someone who is more suited just feels more natural. For mages maybe it's as simple as throwing some frost bolts instead of fireballs at the fire elemental where for melee it can be the difference between weapon types, heavy armour guy is weak to blunt attacks, switch from your sword to your mace. Why have damage and weapon types and enemy varieties if you're not going to take full advantage of them? This could also reinvigorate some of the gear crafting professions, maybe you just need any level appropriate mace for this heavy armour based enemy not the Hammer of Justice reforged in the blood of Illidan, aged in the anal cavity of C'Thun, and blessed by RNGesus 4 times over.

The main problem that I had with the legendary system in legion was mostly the completely RNG way of getting them, you basically had to just do M+ and Raids all the day all the time and hope you roll the dice enough to get it. I spent the first 2 months of Legion with no legendary, only to get my BiS legendary (Unholy DK bracers) and instantly quit the game. It just didn't make me feel accomplished that I had obtained that item and I knew I wasn't having fun. I felt more relief rather than excitement that I had it drop. It also didn't help that Unholy DK was literally the worst DPS class during Nightmare. There is something to say about how it devalued the idea of a "legendary", rarity wise. However, epics have been that way since forever now and really nobody gives a shit anymore. Legendaries have really stopped being special since the the MoP cloak, so I didn't have a problem with legion legendaries in that way.
