I'll be real, #4 feels pretty funny on a video prominently sponsored by an optimal leveling guide that speeds through content without finishing questlines and such.
You forgot 1 type of player from you’re list: the Serial Character Creator, who gets stuck on character creator and have 18 low level toons. I’m that person. 😂
I'm idiots. I actually like role-playing as my characters. I made a Mag'har Orc Shaman named "Drekgarr" and grinded Frostwolf reputation so I could have "of the Frostwolves" while I ride around on the Frostwolf snarler. And that's just one example. I'm working on a "Druid of nightmare" now and I'm grinding for Spaulders of the first Satyr now.
Haha, number 4 reminds me of people that hit max lvl and finished all the quests just 2 days after Dragonflight started. I had a great laugh while reading the Blizz forum
I'm a player #10 and I do feel kinda bad about it. Severe social anxiety makes it almost impossible to talk to people, but I do wanna hang out and kill monsters with them 😅
What DrRhyhm said you can just have a macro that says "hello" and "thanks". Until you feel more confident. You made a post on you tube that's saying something.
I was thrown off the Razageth platform twice the first time I went in. Humiliating. Then I found out that, as a DH, I could ride the storm. Man, that felt so good, watching those who mocked me fall to their doom.
I have a guy that starts playing a different game while we are in a que and when everyone is ready to start the guy said.somthing like... Yea yea just a second I just dropped in a Fortnite game. Why Fortnite you say? No clue ... If you are about to pull some shit li k that, at least be decent enough to play a real game.
10 is the one I’ve been before, but it was because of the ridiculous amount of toxicity present in the game. A lot of my talking in mmos is reduced to giving advice, chats about specific topics, and defending others from hurtful speech. But that’s it
You forgot the forum champion, who will complain on the forums about every aspect of the game that isnt tailored just for him and yet seems to barely play the game, if at all, raid logging at best.
You know, the guy who doesn't talk might just be tired of the stupid crap that his server is just going on and on about. I tried out some new mmos and while I try to communicate with people. Really quickly I realize I want nothing to do with these morons that just spam guild invite whispers that are targeted at everyone . Then there are the ones who just invite you to the guild without whispers . Would you talk to a person who just gets in your face and says " join this thing I'm in. Doesn't matter you don't know who I am, just do it!" Maybe I'm just having bad luck , but sometimes it feels like I have to play solo because of this . Sometimes I will ask something game related in chat and people are just talking about crap unrelated to the game they are playing . Maybe you can do a video on how to find a good social community. Because imo, it was easier to form a community in wrath and bc .
D&D is played for the story. You can play a mmo and have zero attachment to the story. It's absorption completely divorced for many players. Is the game fun, number one question. Great story doesn't save a bad game. Bad story and great gameplay still makes a playable game. I can play any number of single player games for world adventuring. I have significantly limited ability to play games with raids and m+ style combat outside of mmos. People that rush to level cap are probably the same percentage as toxic as the people that don't.
Yeah I'm indeed a number 9 xD I won't lie I'm incredibly casual to WoW. I usually come into an expansion, Level through the content. Play a couple BG's where I get absolutely destroyed because of the ilvl. Then run around aimilessly in Ogrimar. Log off and not return for another expansion.
I can relate to the #9th player, even though i play this game since pff Pandaria or something still there tons of things i not know how to do or where to get it from. Many players always say WoWhead, Icy-Veins. Good for those who can understand 10 million pages of typed words down but i can't i need an actual player to show me around, and don't even mention YT videos since many of them probably outdated or not even exist anymore. So yea 9 is me as a Noob!
I am #10, but I've been playing since Vanilla, been thru the whole in a guild running dungeons and raids, trying to be the best and gear up, yadda yadda. Just got tired of all that and started concentrating on the story, the quests, the stuff I could single player in the MMO and take part in group content if I wanted to. It's what works the best for me, and I'm very happy playing the way I do.
I see alot of the #2s on the forums whenever XIV is mentioned. Though half at least admit at some point they didnt actually play the game, they are just regurgitating "I heard someone else say..." bullshit.
Number 11 the i know everything and if u don't do it my will i'll sabotage the grp guy: In general theses guys have a pretty good understanding of what they are doing but lack any knowledge of how to be part of a grp. As long as u do everything like he thinks it should be done u won't have any problems with him but beware if u do anything in an order that this god among players doesn't approve of. At first he will pause all movement to explain why the chosen path is wrong even if the pull is already made and tell everyone how they are wasting time. If the grp then wipes due to missing a player he will make sure to be the first guy to run to his old position and show the "correct" way hoping the grp repeates their "mistake" and instead of helping, flaming them, telling them how they waste his time before leaving the grp. Number 12 the if u calling me out for playing bad u are a tryhard aka the i'm just playing for fun guy. These guys tend to be pretty average players and can be very fun to play with if ur doing none endgame content but as soon as the grp hits a wall and u try to figure out the reason why u can't progress and give andvise on strategy they will immediately start to explain how they have a hard job and a family and everyone who takes playing a game serious has no life and that trying to be good at it is just something for people with no jobs. Strangely enough if u complement them on their play they are more than happy to tell u how to play their character and how much time they spend getting as good as they are.
#10 the silent ones always know exactly what to do though. They'll put near top DPS or heals, get out of stuff, and even do some MVP skillshots. Without saying a word ever.
Omg I'm the roleplayer guy 😂 I just made a kul tiran warrior who decked out in full kul Tiran themed armor and I have a backstory for. This is the only way I know how to play MMOs 😅
It sucks on GW2 cause I maxed out all my character of each class and got their armor sets perfect for them so now I just hop on to play my lute on my bard ranger from time to time 😢
I don't mind u role Playing, but u don't have to be a badass tho u can wear any outfits to role player, what about cute outfits they are role play still, heck if u play most RPGs especially japanese RPGs the main characters are usually wear casual clothes
Okay wait I gotta defend number 9! That's me (except I get top or second dps because im not an actual NPC) because I started playing like 3 weeks ago. Getting max level and at least ilvl 380ish is really quick and I took my time, but I don't know any of the dungeons tactics/mechanics or layouts and half the mechanics in the game are archaic or abandoned several expansions ago and stuff and nothing is explained, so yeah I'm max level and in okay gear but I have no fucking idea what's going on or where to go or anything. I push buttons and stuff dies, that's all I know lol.
I’m an old D&D player, doing WoW since WoD and I basically hit stuff until it dies and I can frisk its pockets/fur/handbag/don’t ask, and then skin it where possible (on a good day, that’s before it hits the ground).
I’m kinda #8 except I don’t role play. Knowing my interest in myth, legends and folk tales, my friend told me that WoW lore was awesome. I took the bait and now I’m hooked.
Glad you were nice to number 3. I was expecting them to get trashed too lol They probably are mostly good people who are just shy. Or they're ambitiously building a RU-vid following lol
Top one for me is the "I only play or do whatever the BEST is" and if asked why not play or do something because it's fun, they'll always say "Being the best is fun". FotM rerollers, minmaxers, parsers etc. Most brain dead, faceroll-required-or-I-suck players I've ever met.
I had lagging Internet and I played a healer. Not so I wouldn't get booted but because I felt it was more manageable. Of course there was the rare time when everything froze for a second and suddenly I see we got wiped and I didn't have a chance to help at all. Believe me tho, I did care. I prepared my PC best I could to compensate for the lag. I was super on edge doing dungeons and did my very best. I often did quite good. I do remember having problems on a particular outside 'dungeon'. Running around through twisting walkways, PC lags and I'd lose sight of everyone. Had to get my bearings, and chase after them, only to fall off to my death lol Normally it didn't lag that bad.
Hahaha The Noob. In FF14, our equivalent are the Mentors and the "Legends". Legends can clear the hardest content in the game but you put them in regular content and they're mostly the first to die on the easiest mechanic. Mentors are people who sign up to teach other players but are usually the worst at the game itself.
#2 To be fair, the first 10 minutes of FFXIV are a brick wall of text dump. It took me 8 attempts over the years to even get through it only to find out the game isn't for me after all.
before a judge a mmo i always try to make it halfway to lvl cap or at least a little past lvl 30 before i judge the game this gives me a idea of how most mechincs (not all ) will shape up to the end game and if ill enjoy the combat system or not
What did you consider me: 1.) AFK-Farm on a Smartphone Touhou RPG while playing World // Zero or World of Warcraft (Both are MMOs) 2.) Making WoW Lostword or Touhou without altering gameplay themed 3.) Still plays Warcraft III 4.) Assume Jaina Proudmoore is Marisa Kirisame
Nixxiom, #10 is just roleplayers... They're roleplaying as mutes... In fact, they're all roleplayers... #9 is only roleplaying as a noob, but they aren't... That's how they got that good gear... #8 is the most meta of all, they are so into roleplay that they are roleplaying as themselves while roleplaying... #7 is only roleplaying that they're lagging... They actually have some of the best CPUs, GPUs, internet, etc. money can buy... But they don't want you to be jealous, so they run into walls... #6 is just roleplaying as the commander... He's not the soldier of the battleground, he's in charge... #5 actually has a wife... #3 they're only pretending to be angry... #2 is actually multiple people account sharing and roleplaying as one person with no life... #1 is actually the people who are the biggest fans of the game... I mean, think about it, if they REALLY hated the game and they REALLY thought it was dying, why would they keep playing it? Doesn't make sense, does it?
Honorable Mention: 1.) The “I don’t read quests but I’m going to ask my friends/guild mates/party members about every NPC” guy. 2.) The “I only get 20 minutes a night to play so I picked tank/healer for fast queues and now I want to main tank for your raid” guy. These people always manage to squeeze in just enough time to pass the trial phase somehow. and 3.) The “I only play an MMO for PvP and don’t understand why the devs don’t give a shit about players like me” guy.
#3 and 8 called me out. Ive been grappling with WoW's lore for as long as I've been playing.. And I bricked a computer trying to run the cancelled Lord of the Clans point and click game. I've been RPing since 2014.. Ive read so many of the novels and trudged through the shit that was Shadowlands. I literally have a google doc Ive been working on since 2019 RESTRUCTURING the lore so I feel satisfied and can explain it to people in a concise way.
The "dead game" crowd are by far the most annoying. The very fact that they're talking about the game - let alone playing it - is proof that it is in fact not dead.
Lol Nixxiom being called out for speaking in favor of not rushing things while promoting a speedleveling guide. Thing is, Nixxiom doesn't strike me as one of those AsmonSeasonBellularShow grifters who capitalize on drama and are extreme hypocrytes. I think this is more related to RU-vid. All youtubers in general are using sponsors nowadays. It must have something to do with how RU-vid changes constantly and makes it difficult to make a decent living from making consistent videos.
11: people who still play WoW, a relic of a bygone age (the fact that Blizzard STILL forces u to look at a wall of text for every quest and refuses to have fully voiced quests considering how every other mmo does, shoves microtransactions into 'classic' WoW, removing male and female category to virtue signal)
I disagree with the sentiment that in mmos you shouldnt be able to play for a bit and decide whether it's good or not. The only reason that it's a valid argument is because wow and mmos like wow put their fun content behind the end-game, which is bad design. It makes a scenario where you have to dump 10-15 hours into just reaching that starting point. Again, that's bad design. A good game puts it's fun content up front and centre to let customers know what they will enjoy and pursue that content to the extreme ends. Assuming you're working on your 2 days off and can only play for 2 hours a day it will take you 5 weeks to reach end-game, racking up the cost of the monthly sub. Then you have an additional fee of the expansion to be able to play the current content and not have trouble finding groups. If you play for a few minutes and dislike the game and call it trash, whatever your opinion doesnt matter because you've literally barely interacted with any of the systems and it's very likely you just dont like the genre. I cant bring myself to play turn based RPGs for example so I know that I dont like that genre, and I never complain about them. It's not for me, my opinion is worthless. But it's a fair and valid argument to critique the fact that it will take you 10-15 hours to interact with any of the important systems you'll be engaging with in end-game progression. It's a problem that the levelling is considered a tutorial and part of the experience. What games have a 10-15 hour long tutorial? Imagine if you went bowling that you had a subscription with and they said that before you could bowl you had to practice putting on the bowling shoes, review how to bowl the ball and practice holding the bowling ball for 15 hours. You'd think they're insane. It's no different for MMOs and no excuse. It only exists because of bloat and because the levelling experience isnt considered important because they're trying to push sales for the latest expansion. 'But you have to have grasped mechanics to do X Y Z' then why not have players interact with those systems before hand? Part of the problem that wow has is that new players have to catch up and learn all the jargon and mechanics in real time at the drop of a hat. There is no reason that players cant run simulated raids at earlier levels M+ raids at earlier levels with affixs to understand the mechanics. Why is there not a raid with an AI team that allows you to learn debuffs as you play, dodging mechanics as you play, dealing with CC as you play, combat ressing, rage timers. A lot of people have played wow for a long time so they say: Who cares, I know what to do. Yeah, you were given the blessing of playing since 2004 and having entire expansions to teach you mechanics as you went. You dont have that courtesy in the modern wow. A new player doesnt at the very least and a game dies when it stops attracting new players as the old players slowly leave and there is no turnover to replace them.
Some of the best players I have ever ran into have been the "..." guys. Topping dps charts, usually highest possible ilvl, and will be the person to solo/finish off the dungeon boss when the other 4 players get wiped all without saying a word. Although I'm not quite that good, I do consider myself a "..." tbh, I don't respond unless its someone talking/asking directly at me, and even then I usually don't, especially if they're asking for something I looted and don't need, I'll just open trade and hand it over before I hearth.
I would slap the "I have a wife and 10 kids, therefore, adjust the game for me" type of guy too. It always boogles my mind, that people who really don't have time playing video games that much still choose to go and play MMO and complain they can't achieve anything. Like my guy, either take your time or pick a different game.
Im number 6. Definitely. I just play my mw in random bgs day in and day out. But i don't afk and just type. I watch my horde. If someone makes a good play i let them know i saw it. If 2 rogues does a dirty ambush base play, i laugh with them. But if theres someone that's clearly a newbie, but knows how to deal damage.. I pocketheal them 1v5 any day every day. Maybe i'll say to them that shield wall etc. should be used, but i just enjoy pumping the absolute lifeforce into them while they struggle to live. Only time i tell someone to gfto from my bg is when a warrior quadruple leaps to the other side of the map and leaves me with my ring of peace to handle the enemy team... That sucks.
What's most funny and ironic about the "this game is dead" players. Even though they (Apparently) haven't played the game for 5+ years, they are still subscribed to all the WoW-RU-vid channels and watch all the vids, they still follow all the various WoW groups on social media and engages in the latest news about the game
A lot of times players have anxiety from how shitty and toxic people are so they'll just not talk at all to avoid such things at all cost. I pretty much play WoW like this, I'm a bit more comfortable with the XIV community but man, reading general chats is enough for me to stay silent in WoW. Never know when some elitist or toxic dickhead is gunna go off on one over nothing.
There was 666 likes when I looked, but I just had to ruin it and like the video :P (ok, yes I know that buy the time I clicked "like" probs round 10 ppl already clicked like but shush)
About the MMO sucks kind of guy: There are some where the leveling isn't enjoyable. Pointing that out is fine, in the end to improve someone has to state the critisism. But they don't do that right? There are to many that think of one game as perfect and others as terrible, where in reality: all have their pro and con, and none is perfect in all aspects. Reality sucks, I know.
#2 and proud. I realize a lot of us #2s are shitty (badumtss) but we can't help it. We've played too many games and can therefore see when a game will annoy us. We may not be right about everything we claim about the game but you'd be surprised how often our grievances we found in the first 10 minutes become reasons people quit a thousand hours in.
3 :( i am lonely. I play wow cause i grew up playing it. Most of my life ive spent in games. I come back to wow over and over, farm old content on loop filling out my collection. Made a few friends years ago farming acheivements i couldnt solo. But i honestly have no investments irl.
ahaha i was number 9 in pandaria. knew barely any english back then so just kinda did what looked cool. i remember my first LFR raid. (i was a paladin tank) siege of orgrimmar, we were outside of org, cant remember what the boss looked like but the second i came in they attacked the boss. i didnt know jack about raids, dungeons were easy so these cant be that bad right? got kicked after the first try when i died about 6 seconds in or smt
All MMOs are dead its never my fault I'm not having fun by having burn out by playing too much or my lack of skill. I also will only play for 3 min before I decided a game is good I totally don't have the attention span of a fly.
#8 people have downsides too and are sometimes rather annoying with their constant complaining when things don't go the way they want it to in their headcannon. Like lalafel high chairs. These people get so passionate, that sometimes they even get creepy with their RPs and persona, that they will emote as they do things or even hold up dungeons, like in FF14, because they want to be immersed, often only caring about their own experience.
don't wanna sound like an advertiser but have you ever tried minecraft rp?? lord of the craft is a medieval fantasy rp server that is pretty similar to wow rp in function, there's a few others, but it's the biggest. it's how i found my interest in rp and worldbuilding :'3
I know that this video is for shits and giggles but being my first time playing wow, learning the game getting into a guild and all. The number 9 guy is usually someone who really doesn't care he is the there for the fun. How does he know what gear is good, he copied it from another guild member. How does he do his rotation, either1 addon that tells him what buttom to press or somelike that, he may not even know half the spells his character has. I have no ill will for this fellas but holly shit if they annoy the "hardcore" members of the guild, just by winning on the roll of that good item the better member has been chasing for a while.
9# Yep thats me, i get a lot of dungeons without tankin but getting the Tank armor and also getting the legendary cloak, later when i finally tank the flex i did not know what tf to do and i was like 0 mechanics and experience but 550 ILV
Part time role player with nobody to vibe with and part time jackass that loves to go on adventures and be a mindless slaughter machine. I sometimes imagine my pally dwarf getting some silly guest spot in a machinima for my old antics. I just vibe wow since beta and enjoy finding new friends when they come
There's legitimately dumbasses on the steam forums for destiny 2 still saying the game is dead when the current dlc has caused the player count to skyrocket and make a new record in comparison to its f2p launch of Shadowkeep...
I played on mobile internet with my PC tethered to my phone while living in a caravan in the middle of nowhere. Still managed to Tank Naxx without too many issues.
Hey guys let me put a sponsorship for a speedleveling addon *that you have to pay for* at the start of my video and then 4 minutes into the video call people who speed through content idiots.
I am the no lifer 2:50 but I have to find the game this is my type. I burn through everything so that I can get prep for PVP. Not really a pve guy, that's why I just do a "nolife to gear up" approach when I have tp -since devs don't want to separate pve from pvp gears.
