Did you know that Wizard City got a story update?
Note: As of late 2023, Lizzo has been served with - GET THIS - a lawsuit! Go look it up, it's sort of hilarious and makes her reference in Firecat Alley a little... awkward to say the very least

I still remember when Lady Blackhope was a required quest for unicorn way, Wizard city has changed so much.

@fredcoleman6594 Год назад

Back then in the old days you HAD to face her before going to the 3 other areas the changes is REALLY stupid

@LucyAdroit Год назад

@@fredcoleman6594 Right? Like, Ryan already had the Skeletal Pirates to deal with, why's he got to be scared of Lady Blackhope, solely?

@fredcoleman6594 Год назад

Lady black hope is a legacy boss now shameful

@shatteredsentient5321 10 месяцев назад

Oh they changed stuff wow

@violetkalico 2 месяца назад

Same

@bernroper5478 Год назад

Biggest L of the story update was losing the Penny Dreadful quest where you get the Blue Cyclops pet, as far as I've found there's now no other way to get this pet

@randomninja7632 Год назад

I have the pet :]

@101Asa Год назад

True

@LucyAdroit Год назад

Right, like I would always prefer the pet to the Pet Snacks

They dropped that quest??? Wth

@BriannaKitty Год назад

This was a lovely video! As an ancient veteran who refuses to go through the story again, this was eye opening, especially the firecat alley stuff. They took away basically ALL of the cool stuff about the elves. >:/

@LucyAdroit Год назад

They went from "a bit annoying" to VERY ANNOYING

@FrostDzNz Год назад

lowkey I've been surprised more people didnt campaign to make the first world free on the premise that the new streets take no time flat to complete. Imagine purchasing a new zone just to finish it in like 20 minutes XD

@medukathemeguca Год назад

You didn’t mention us having to get Cyrus’ laundry

@1AmGroot Год назад

I feel like they mentioned the Krokonomikon and the Order of the Fang so much in order to get new players curious and hooked. But if to do that you need to namedrop an organization that was supposed to have been kept a COMPLETE SECRET, that's too much.

@LucyAdroit Год назад

Right, I was like "I SWEAR they didn't used to keep saying it this much"

@ZACandCODYinferno Год назад

I remember back in 5th grade my teacher had us write stories and I kind of just basically wrote unicorn way with like my characters perspective of it and he loved it so much I got an A+ out of it. I thought it was super funny because little did he know.... ; D i've been a player since summer 2009 and the game really has changed so much. New players will just never understand what the old players went through, the good and the bad

@General-F Год назад

I was lucky to play the old Cyclop Lane and Fire Cat Alley. Before the update. These two new one weird kind down grade mostly Fire Cat Alley. I was very lucky to play it years early it before the story changed.

@Angryoyster Год назад

Sometimes I watch zenmaster blue’s wizard city walk through just to feel something.

@purinpanda8302 Год назад

Honestly the cyclops lane story with the bunny from Darkmoore was a huge L and made no sense. When I replayed again after years and realized the story changed, i thought it was bc that rabbit was gonna be character later, but he never even appears again.

@LucyAdroit Год назад

They even POKE FUN at that when he leaves - I was like, "BUNNY??? Since WHEN"

@101Asa Год назад

I myself was annoyed that they flipped the dude in distress to a damsel like how everywhere else almost ALWAYS makes the girl be in danger. Also annoyed they didn't re-vamp the lines of Colossus OR Crab Alley. Honestly, I miss the fairies too and I really wish Feebo was back ): (Actually doing a series or 2 on my channel where my girls go through the worlds first and then I have boys (plus a non-bi) go through to show the changes, so I do have old Krok and old Wiz recorded, fully.) EDIT: Can't wait to watch them Twist the heck outta Krok. Hopefully they work zone by zone so maybe I can put one through at a time.

@LucyAdroit Год назад

Right, I was surprised that Mindy was the exact same over there

@honeyxomoonx Год назад

omg the damsel in distress thing annoyed me so much!!

@CaspianArk Год назад

For some reason after the story change NONE of my new wizards were able to make it to colossus boulevard… the colossal trouble quest never appeared when they spoke to ambrose and now they are levels 46 and 50…

R.I.P. Himbo Romulus. Went from "Uhhh, you don't look like a warhorn, but you have the password, go ahead" to "Yeah, our leader is acting weird can you knock some sense into him?" Does it make sense? Yes. Do I miss himbo Romulus, yes.

@NP-fl1px 10 месяцев назад

Malistaire also appeared when you enter the death school for the first time. It was a little interesting to see him there but it kinda messed up the quest in the five boxes event where the player helped dworgyn earn a spot as the death professor after malistaire’s departure from the role.

@horrorreadersanonymous3533 Год назад

For Cyclops Lane, I wanted to point out that the trolls were summoned by Cyrus in the old lore. Unfortunately, they only added to the chaos. Nolan was also made more sympathetic in the rewrite, toning down his attitude and playing up his cowardice and faith in Cyrus.

@feyernightblade2050 2 месяца назад

One change I really liked is that Nightside is now a parallel world/underworld rather than just a random place under a cliff. You need to do a specific ritual to even see the door to it which is a neat change imo

@fredthetank8386 Год назад

Why did they have to change it? I remember when lady black hope was a boss in unicorn way lol

@LucyAdroit Год назад

We have no clue

@firemaster657 Год назад

Honestly, thank you for the video. I completely forgot about some of the changes, I knew that dang bunny wasnt in the original cyclops lane. Its interesting, I am kind of sad that they swapped the roles in triton avenue for suzie for me personally though at least they added the second part to flesh it out a tiny bit more.

@ecogirl2759 Год назад

NOT FEEBOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO Great job on the video once again, I'm kinda sad that I never really got to experience the original Firecat Alley quest T^T (I mean, I did once for one of their free world promos, but that was years ago and I don't really remember it)

@LucyAdroit Год назад

I only managed to get a video of like the last part of it or something because one of my old accounts was in the middle of it

@violetkalico 2 месяца назад

I miss the old version in every way. Graphics, story, and the avatars. Everything. And they made weird changes too. Edit: Some of these changes are super strange. I understand updating the intro story but like 💀 wtf is the bunny? Edit 2: I JUST REALIZED they removed the 2 different types of elves and just made them all look like the first type of elves you fight. The elves with the crossbows are GONE.

@redllanterns7736 Год назад

i noticed immediately, having played all the way back in 2008 and picking the game back up recently. i was like woah this is different! it also felt easier to me.

@donqon Месяц назад

There’s also a little cutscene for when you enter the death school for the first time. I think it’s Malistaire saying something to Dworgyn instead of you finding him there alone, not knowing the school was moved.

@midwesternpolymath Год назад

I miss the old story; good memories.

@mikey.liston Год назад

I totally forgot about most of the old stories! Good video!

@tratanlightbreaker6029 Год назад

I love that in both cases of Triton avenue student of DIVINATION needs help of a death student to fortuntell them where their sibling is.

@LucyAdroit Год назад

My dude, every time I go down Firecat Alley now, both Private Quinn and Shelus make me MAD. The former is way more cowardly and the latter is trying to SELL the artifacts instead of returning them (it's so bad that the ENEMIES WHO STOLE THEM are worried about Shelus getting them back then they are about losing it to us!!!),

@LucyAdroit Год назад

I remember making a Reddit post about this exact thing when I realized it

@fkweaboos2759 Год назад

lmao I knew they did something, remember when I was a kid spending all day in dark cave, that shit was so long....now it's like 2 quests

@LucyAdroit Год назад

Right, I was like "No Runed Skull?"

@fallonfish190 11 месяцев назад

Lizzo did NOT age well. So.... can we have the old Firecat Alley back?

@beejorgy6002 Месяц назад

I used to play all the time when i was a kid, and then again in 2020 during the covid lockdown. I remember the old firecat alley story, which must have been right before the change, since i remember getting to krokotopia and krokopatras tomb right before i had to stop due to do longer having a usable laptop

@Phxric Год назад

Omg banger video

@Vladalander 11 месяцев назад

@BoarPlaysGames Год назад

@originalkrit7974 11 месяцев назад

The most grievous sin of this overhaul is the changes to the VA's.

@karrich1515 10 месяцев назад

Played it 10 years back i think and never gone past the pay wall, been playing again in 2020, glad i played it before the major changes happened, besides the selena golez quest.

@MightyDantheman Год назад

I remember playing a new character with changes, but I don't recall any of these massive changes. Were these really changed in 2021? I definitely prefer the old stories by far. I honestly prefer the old worlds in general. Imo, the feeling of Wizard City and that build up for Malistair. The sort of Harry Potter-like theme, or "whimsical" as they call it. Even all of the dropped items look nice. While the newer worlds are much higher production, I end up just missing playing the original worlds. Even the gear seems to get more ugly the higher the level, but I think that's just to get people to stitch.

@Bomber389 Год назад

How did they manage to make wizard city worse? The new characters and plot are disappointing, unrelateble, and less immersive. That is saying a lot too but it really could have been better for new players.

@lucad9667 2 месяца назад

This is very interesting to hear about as someone who never got past the paywall before the story update. Seems like I've been missing out.

@yourqualia6341 4 месяца назад

Ayo didnt they change a bunch of mooshu quests too? Im playing it now for the first time in years and noticing major differences

@deathstrider249 Год назад

who thinks Ki should make a second game, called WizardOG's, that has the original questline. Back when dragonspyre was the final world, no zeus gear, original storylines, original grandmaster gear, essentially how it originally released in 2009.

@aiapihud4344 11 месяцев назад

make it a private server if pos?

@thestrangecaseofharryhinde9473 Месяц назад

The krokonomicon stuff is fine imho. You don’t learn much until immediately before foulgaze when it’s revealed that was his goal the whole time. It’s the perfect amount of times to be mentioned.

@davidwayne9864 11 месяцев назад

I only remember the original stories, susie and her brother swapping is crazy

@AngryGuppy Год назад

I agree and I don’t like the fact that the kraken is now a side quest it was part of the main quest one point

@aidenbrenneman2302 Год назад

the old cyclops lane was better for world building i feel cause it gave an insight to how cyclops traditions are with the whole "Honor bound" thing now it just makes them seem like they are some lesser beings that are easily mind controlled when they are still citizens of wiZard city and when talking to romulus it doesnt make him seem dumb or anything just a pet peeve of mine i guess

@LucyAdroit Год назад

I feel like Romulus not being dumb was the only upgrade for me - especially since he's NOT DUMB when you start doing Aquila quests which was even before the update happened. Still weird that they didn't make the voice match that one, though...

@lookie4448 Год назад

wasn't the nexus added in FTUE? I remember old triton ending with saving arthur and that was it.

@seastorm1052 Год назад

Ah, yes you're right, the nexus was added in the update. My bad :p

@rayadboyce7572 5 месяцев назад

You gotta explain all the quests on all worlds next. Krokatopia next and so on😁

@ragingstickman9951 Год назад

I've not yet experienced any of the new stories...thankfully, my character didn't either. Otherwise, I think we'll both be confused.

@thawkade 4 месяца назад

I still have a wizard with the old quest line and I kinda dont want to progress on it because itd probably be the last time I ever do so 😭

@ThePrymal 10 месяцев назад

The old thang felt more direct to be honest. I think I’ve been playing for up to like 13/14 years or so and so much has changed. The visual update I have mixed feelings about. It feels more cartoony but less fantasyish.

@kts11495 10 месяцев назад

One change I highly disliked with the story was them changing the reveal that Cyrus and Malistare are brothers, in the old story it was a big reveal when he challenged you before Dragonspyre to make sure you were ready to face his brother. Now it's just tacked on that "Oh yea Malistare is my brother and he's gone evil, fancy that."

@ss4clubdj 4 месяца назад

Pretty sure old story mentioned it at some point, maybe the death student in Ravenwood I think mentioned it. I knew they were brothers and never made it past krokotopia as a kid

@thawkade 4 месяца назад

It was brought up multiple times before DS, I distinctly remember Diego saying something about Cyrus being suspicious _because_ he was Mali's brother

@ss4clubdj 4 месяца назад

@thawkade didn't you also have to 1v1 cryrus as a myth wizard at lvl 16 or is that an old "myth" (haha see what I did)

@chaozgaming8565 7 месяцев назад

*slow clap* Now players can hit the paywall even FASTER now~ Nah I'm not kidding, you hit the paywall about an hour or two faster now.

@Major234 Год назад

Does it still cost to get to cyclops lane I stopped playing when it said I had to pay

@seastorm1052 Год назад

Yes. Sometimes they do free events but they are few and don't usually last long.

@Pennielogic Год назад

Nil it feels like they made the first arc shorter in a way like u had to do so much more in wiz city up to dragon spire it just feels less now

@emrysss 11 месяцев назад

@midwesternpolymath Год назад

Yes, as far as I am aware they didn't touch Crab Alley or Colossus Boulevard.

@aerlor5749 Год назад

did they make lady blackhope an optional boss? i recently made a new character and i noticed i didn't get a main quest to fight her and i remember back in 2013 when i created my first character that it was a main story boss

@seastorm1052 Год назад

Yes, I believe they moved her to being a side quest boss.

@LucyAdroit Год назад

They did, now "Saving Private O'Ryan" is where you do it instead of helping him clear Skeletal Pirates.

@mklc12 Год назад

I remember playing through the old stories. Why bother going through the trouble of changing it? Why does KI keep wasting time on trivial nonsense instead of focusing on what the players actually want? *smh*

@SiciliaVT 11 месяцев назад

I feel a very real confusion playing lately, I played a lot a long while ago and only recently came back. The sudden difference of story is a weird experience. One day I'll free Nick Jonas from Grizzleheim though!
