AQW - Returning After 12 Years! (Account Overview)

[@NightshadeDE]

Always love watching people come back and look through their collection. Man the art in this game keeps me coming back (yeah some of it is a bit goofy but when it’s good it’s really good)

[@freakerzzzx]

Do you mean the art of Milton Pool(Miltonius)? eversince he left, AQW gone dowhill

[@NightshadeDE]

@@freakerzzzx well for one thing he is back, a second thing is Darkon’s elegy is the best piece of content aqw has ever made and it came out years after Miltonius left. Is every update a hit? Nah course not but to completely dismiss all the work other artists do over there is just narrow minded, and also something Miltonius probably wouldn’t want you saying/using his name for

[@KevIn-bs6xw]

I love how he tells us the background on how he got the items.

[@ploopyfudgewink9207]

Uni-horn was in fact a 1% drop. I remember the days of people throwing themselves at a boss in absolute chaos, just hoping that they’d be in the rotation to kill. Now there are classes that solo 😂

[@Trisp.]

Thank you, I thought I was going crazy! I remember just stacks of players farming it, sometimes running and dying on a loop xD Good Ol' Days!

[@Alostermann]

A lot of things like that have changed, and I didn’t know if they randomly just decided to make Aqw easier? or was there a storyline somewhere that somehow powers up the player and explains all this craziness?

[@ploopyfudgewink9207]

@@Alostermann it started when they added endgame content like ultras, which was only necessary because people felt there wasn’t actually a substantial incentive for getting VHL and chronos other than flexing. By the time meta roles like tanks, dps, and support got fleshed out, they realized there weren’t enough new players active to justify the inadequacy of low-tier classes so those got reworked. The game got easier because a lot of aspects got harder like player population/ultras. They wanted to make the game approachable to newbies while allowing the endgame players to still experience growth and settled on the current state as a balanced approach. With hindsight, I personally think it was the right decision as someone who’s been regularly playing off and on.

[@Sh0gath]

I got that weapon first try years ago 😂

[@frankalves9955]

Pretty sure that was not 1% but a quest item that needs it was 1%

[@jamespatterson8825]

Thought to myself, 'how did he get Fiend of Nulgath (rare) without having the Primal Orb of Nulgath'. Forgot that anyone used to be able to click on other peoples orbs back then...

[@Trisp.]

Ngl, I thought I had the full set, I was expecting to find talons and archfiend cloak “if I remember the names correct” there is a chance I may have deleted items to free space as a kid 😅😭

[@jamespatterson8825]

​@@Trisp. Hopefully if you did delete anything, it is in your buyback shop! Wish I would have had the brain capacity as a kid to get any of the items from the orbs 😂

[@rubiez2012]

​@@Trisp.Check your account settings bro! Click buy back and u will find everything u either sold or lost wihile using as a merge resource.

[@mrp1x3lpanda]

Am I smelling the beginning of an AQW arc?!??!

[@durukanAQW]

No, afking at yulgar's place arc

[@ShehryarShaheen]

yesss especially when aq2d is in the making

[@joshboyko683]

I love that you went up to customize your char lolol miss the old yulgar! Nice video and rares youve stacked over the years

[@TillerOG]

Just returned after 14 years myself. Loving the game once again

[@Trisp.]

The nostalgia hits hard!

[@EL-ce6bg]

​@@Trisp.Welcome back i returned too. Lets be friends. My ign is DarkShadowZSpeed.

[@durukanAQW]

Same

[@JosephJJameson]

I returned a few days ago for my accounts 14th birthday, havent played in years so its been fun going on the nostalgia trip. Don't really have anything cool or rare but i do have the ebil dread armor that matches with your chainsaw hand in my buyback

[@LordRixuel]

last time i quit, the level cap was 65. When I return in Jan 2024, I speedrun to lvl 100 (taking advantage of the server exp boost + exp boost item) lol it only took approx 1-2 days. If your account is 15 years old, you can get the IoDA

[@judechristopher2162]

how?

[@LordRixuel]

@@judechristopher2162 I was farming at that shadow battleon map and turned in the medals. they were people who farmed so it's fast. doing solo is too slow and not worth it

[@abeltotallynotdnsclientors5054]

Chaos shaper got buffed some time ago and is pretty strong for late game content. And Blood titan is still a really solid tank, tho pretty slow for today's standard

[@davidkoldenhoven3235]

i got two IODA items literally from a hard nostalgia trip, i still play here and there but the nostalgia always hits

[@kalzaar6300]

unless you're whaling it takes a LOOONG time to get IODAs, and then usually people spend them on collection chests. rares are still pretty dang cool

[@Debonair-uc8bj]

I realized something when I came back to the game, I created a second account cause I had no idea bout my main account way back 2008, I should've opened my second account back then farm lots of rares and when I opened It have nothing to stare at.

[@razersaitama4575]

Yup old yulgar cosmetic room was up top

[@eleyc]

The Dilligaf realization hit me. Thanks 😂

[@gamertubelp5513]

looks pretty good...for a flash game

[@randomstranger_3]

6:56 - "I would literally farm so many weapons that I liked and then a new event would happen with new stuff and I would want that so I'd have to sell all my old stuff so I'd end up with like one item from each event because I just didn't have the space... for it." 😭😭😭 That pain.... Ouhh, that pain..... Had so many rare weapons that have been thrown down the drain because I had to make space for new ones. Wasn't aware of the perma-rare concept back then.

[@Beasitor]

Farming become easier right now, this makes og players really sad coz they spent months to get stuff way back then that a new player could only get in a week or even just a day. The treasure that og players have are rare items, years of played achievements and those priceless memories with other players that time aqw was popular.

[@shandrexler1]

You can buyback those AC tagged items you've deleted. some of those non ac tagged items became ac tagged items like ungodly reavers of nulgath.. and now i know what diligaf means 😂 thanks

[@Trisp.]

I noticed this on the AQ page and have spent numerous hours now Wiki..ing the items 🤣 and you’re welcome 😂

[@duskbringer4583]

I returned after 4-5 year break, and found out I missed SEVERAL gold mines of items... Was biiit upset. Especially Gravelyn Bank Pet and Nulgath's Chests... At least they added 2 more.

[@bigbluwrld9652]

I’ve started playing again myself from 2012 honestly I am kinda enjoying it

[@khalifazizi]

wow that's the armor I've been dreaming of😍

[@d0ubl3st3p]

Funny thing about dragonic caladborg is that its seasonal rarity now, the only way you could get it before was through 2020 dage chest iirc, since i missed that I dont mind though

[@lordunidas5558]

Binkys uni horn was not guaranteed beforehand. Now its just an easily accessible item

[@apolloxkwd9009]

also just returned for like a decade the ultra bosses making it fun. nostalgia.

[@HyuuseGaming]

it used to be a 1% drop but because its a requirement for some quest I guess they changed it.

[@lordunidas5558]

Oh theres a buyback shop in account manager if u wanna buy stuff back

[@hakou_9029]

I'm a simple man I see fellow aqw player in my recommendation, I click like 👍 Btw, since you're a returning player, I would recommend checking out the Darkon Saga. One of the best saga they put in the game in years imo

[@Trisp.]

Thank you for the like! I recently completed the darkon saga, full play through in parts is already uploaded! It is honestly the best story in my opinion!

[@grimmgem]

Lol I remember back then I would goto Ballyhoo and watch ads to win Acs. Thhe first purchase I made was the fox tail cape hahaha

[@borisforis2104]

I was only slightly lagging...

[@marcoraquel02]

I just came back yesterday and im grinding everything again, short lile 200 av to start a farm for a class, sad days

[@Saleaccount498]

U made me check my accounts after this nostalgic video lol all these OG items u have just look better than anything they released in the past few years, everything is just recolors, so boring, hopefully they bring these styles back

[@ajickdesign1998]

ballyhoo time😢

[@sir.jebach3195]

Before it was the only way to get AC as F2P

[@EdrianPatrimonio]

before, getting nulgath items need more bag space and i took me years to get :( but for now its quite simple to have those items

[@nemuikidomo6129]

Welcome back ;))

[@Trisp.]

Thank you :)

[@d0ubl3st3p]

Im only 4 mins into the video but the person you are talking to is either a very good “mmm ya” person or simply is very quiet 🤣

[@SaniUwU]

So many cool items and I'm looking like a basic...

[@greenshroomgames]

12 years but you are level 61? that doesn't feel right cause at that time max level is 30 maybe your account is 12 years old but you didnt stop exactly 12 yrs ago

[@Trisp.]

It’s just an estimate, the main time I was playing is 2010-2012 (When I was really into it) but ofc over 2013 possibly 2014 I signed in here and there and did things, and on top before I made this video I had played a bit and done some quests.

[@ryanfanshaw5171]

Check your buy back in account management should be loads in there

[@kolamsusu3147]

Honest question, how do you make aqw that smooth? Is it ping problem or pc spec?

[@Trisp.]

I wish I could tell you, my ping is around 100-200 on most severs as I’m in the UK. My Pc specs are very high end and I also record from a second computer. But flash is very very limited, if I use to many skills to quick, the game will instantly drop frames rapidly.

[@kolamsusu3147]

@@Trisp. Nice, mine is 300 lol, best example of my gameplay would be if nulgath were to hit me I'd be dead before the atk animation even load

[@lemongrab1792]

Back then you need to goto ballyhoo for free acs or waiting every new year for acs to join legion if your free player like me

[@Trisp.]

Omg yes, watch an advert for a chance at 5-15ac, thay and filling out surveys 🤣

[@sir.jebach3195]

There was also the seacrh bar or something where you search bunch of random stuff in google you get AC

[@duduvec5971]

Ngl sometimes i don't answer people because i'm doing something else while playing but that guy that respawned instantly is 99% a bot.

[@JakeKun101]

You can buy back items

[@pgdn7804]

WTF.. don't know this before Its time to play my first time ;D

[@taro2k]

I remember dragon blade of nulgath took me a literally full year of grinding hahaha

[@xxx-lq7ho]

He is right binky is like 1-3% binky was hard back now some people can 1,hit

[@hentikirby7142]

Pretty sure the game isnt as p2w anymore. You do progress faster as a member but end game enhancement are unlocked for free player 2 now.

[@CrayZigg]

I'm not late to this video you have no proof! ...Man I wanna play AQW now lmao

[@KIOTCHIROU]

you didn't play much, i think you already played enough more than what an endgame players can right now, that ungodly reavers of nulgath is already part of "played too much" back then if you farm it way back when farming nulgath items is just straight up insane. right now the endgame is just nothing to compare the grind before like the reputation back then is the most annoying thing to deal with just to get one class, now you can easily farm all the reputations of AQW in just a week and have a lot of reputation classes that is now AC as well means you can put them now to bank unlike before that I'm crying in space inventory and forced to delete my not strong non AC classes. you do miss a lot of things, but your account does have value when coming back as theres a lot of content to do that can't be finish by a casual person now. you do visit AQW per year i see, as you have honorable hero the best badge no one can take from your account, it's like a badge that you were there that time.

[@rjvlogs3653]

the game is probably 50/50 for people and bots, ironically shaman is better than evolved shaman.

[@Trisp.]

I noticed this and wanted to make a video, it seems to be like 80% bots and 20% real people xD

[@Yorunikura]

7:29i need that bloodletter

[@CFINTRUDER]

Hello guys I'm looking for a beta account here It's ok if there is no hard core atleast it has founder badge and beta badge

[@MrMarkeyroni]

Lmao this game. It had potential. Artix mostly money hungry tho XD

[@hentikirby7142]

If you'd like I can let u run around on my end game acc thats 15 years old. See what the raids all about.

[@judechristopher2162]

I'd like to give it a try

[@Rafox02]

Bro has oblivion blade 🥲

[@Fluskar]

bro just casually has 50k acs lol

[@Nitrooo2k]

funny weapon i had was the TOO big 100k even tho its ugly i kept it cause its big haha

[@rubiez2012]

2 weeks in ive got legion revenant, void highlord and legion beast helm. Ive done tons more but all those grinds ive realised are just plane and boring sittiing in 1 spot for hours on end spamming. The games getting boring and honestly makes sense why people bot now. The game is stupidly boring. And grinds are stupid long. Story mode is just lack luster and stale im feeling like quitting again.

[@amaimask8998]

Not all players who don't react are using bots I'm one of those players who focus on objective not talking 😂😂😂😂

[@Trisp.]

I don't believe everyone is a bot, just when I see a person stand in 1 spot spamming abilities for 30+ mins, it do be bit sus :) But ill make a full video soon on my thoughts on botting etc etc!

[@igormihajlovic3787]

Rarity means shit in this game, u can buy anything with ioda 😂
