I CAN BE A BLACK KNIGHT? FOUR SPECS?! | Conquest of Azeroth CLOSED ALPHA | Project Ascension

Mcdoubles back again with a brand new video and today I want to check out the Witch Hunter class on Conquest of Azeroth! This class has also come a LONG WAY from where it originally was and it boasts a huge amount of playstyles ranging from dual wielding fire hybrid, crossbowman, dark hunter, and even a Black Knight tank archetype! I actually really enjoy this class overall and it has tons of awesome tools, so let me know what you think in the comments below.

If you're going to cover a bunch of classes again on their current state while showcasing the changes, you should totally go back to doing community polls to see what your viewers want next.

[@badwolfgaming78]

I am having fun with the different classes, i wish it would release so people were playing with me

[@spiritvisionitc2474]

I can play it but I haven't because of this reason.

[@Dumaka90]

Agreed lol

[@jrobertlysaght]

same here.

[@meurumtrain4747]

These things unfortunately take time

[@70Slinger]

I played Ascension for a good bit and was very tempted to pick up COA. After looking into it, everything gets scrapped and you don't get to carry over anything worst part for me is I wasn't going to pay 50 bucks for a game that is on a timer. Not gonna pay to be an alpha tester. So, never picked it up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@mlg_maxxi3502]

Can't wait for this to release lol every few days checking the COA page on the discord only to see nothing but change notes :(

[@gg2fan]

Love the duskwood background, I always felt like this class never really fit into the world of warcraft except for that small specific area, so it's awesome to see that part of it emphasized

[@KommisarFuklaw]

Very cool! Thanks for the showcase- I wish I could play this with more people 😢

[@redpandawithshotgun2396]

I absolutely love the videos when you talk about the classics keep up the great work

[@Selentium]

'March of the Black King' is one hell of an ability name. Wish CoA would open up soon.

[@ahetzel9054]

when CoA does finally come out, im sure our grandkids will love it 🤣

[@UnderaGodlessSky]

It has been 510 days since they announced the core rework in preparation for the 60 phase. At least it isn't a kickstarter MMO.

[@sinnshii3285]

McDoubles I'm so glad people like you are working on a project of this type. To have developers who are passionate about the game they are making and playing is the best. How much work you really put into different aspects or classes of the game to make sure anything created comes out the absolute best to you and your teams power to deliver to the community. It's admirable and hope you create the ultimate McDoubles private server some day.

[@Bibliofish]

I'm glad you said yall wanted it to exist separately from typical classless and I'm curious: Is there a philosophy behind that server with regards to xp rates, DP items, endgame, etc?

[@oppossumX]

Looks awesome. I wasn't expecting the (spanish) inquisition build.

[@soulreaper8883]

Dark night looks like the DK tank I was hoping for hahaha. I'm happy to see the enthusiasm here even if the ascension videos might be a bit rough right now. Keep it up bru.

[@Jayjayxo75]

you got me into coa and i cant log off of it lmao i finally caved after watching these videos. thanks for all your work and all the videos bro dont catch these hands in pvp if you see me :P

[@Porterhouse117]

Knight's Seal seems pretty busted! It does 50 shadow damage every 13 days

[@BriWill-le1rd]

I'm surprised they haven't put a open alpha for coa. It's their game I guess but I'm at the point where I don't even wanna play it anymore its been to long without opening it up to the public for free. At this point If it doesn't fail I'll be surprised

[@turhan15]

When you can milk the fanbase why release the server, when things getting worse just close it. Easy cash grab.

[@fuxk_Ty]

it wont fail. theyre just balancing the server its literally all custom and tuned for current tiers. when this releases the pop will sky rocket tons of players already have it so theyre just waiting for the population to take off

[@BriWill-le1rd]

@@fuxk_Ty idk bro we will see I won't be surprised if it doesn't make it though for the reasons I stated. Can't keep things closed for so long and expect anyone to wanna play it anymore

[@cuneytunsal5422]

​@@fuxk_Ty they be balancing the server last 4 years

[@Blobby90]

​@@turhan15 I can see where your coming from but while I don't agree that they're milking their fan base it is a shame that it's closed alpha. I only got in by grinding thousands of gold and even then it was because someone sold it for far below market value on a whim. I was very lucky. I wish they'd go open alpha before 60 so we can see just how well balanced it is.

[@apocscott911]

CoA should be the Ascension teams focus. Its really lame that its just a side project thats obviously just drip fed resources...

[@spiritvisionitc2474]

I'll be checking out the Epoch PTR as well. Maybe I'll see you in game sir!

[@aleksamarkovic9270]

thank you for saying that stuff at the start of the vid. was planning of abandoning this server completely and never returning cause it is way too easy and goofy. now i atleast know that its ascension classless' problem and not coa and that you're aware of it and even planning to get rid of it or at the very least ease it in until release.

[@ben13254]

This has probably been said but I would love to see custom weapon types, like Hand Crossbow (similar to Diablo) and Pistols.

[@tehnix4419]

you could also check out the Synastria server, its basically wotlk with instant 80, build-defining perks which are similar to RE's on ascension, coupled with item attuning to basically start as a nooby, and become a god. Quite fun, and they also have some additional features there which would cork very well on CoA as well. Think you havnt covered that server yet

[@kaerlyon]

@mcdoubles could you teach how to setup your interface, I love it ❤is so clean, modern mixed with blizzard ui, minimalist, please!

[@vancea89]

is it true that there are plans to not release 60 before december ? even if it is technically done ? there was a bit of information that i was not supposed to see in the discord and got banned for it

[@toxicgoat6375]

What is 60?

[@IAmAki]

"60 is upon us" WHEEEEN?! 😭😭😭

[@Bubberz73]

Just as a suggestion for the speed at which things die, could you hypothetically make different difficulty settings (kind of like the different Diablo difficulties) and then add a small xp/loot drop increase for players that want the harder difficulties while leveling.

[@idryal123]

Ty❤

[@vladpepesh]

i hope they also ad more customisation for the races

[@nikolalukacev1862]

Can someone recommend melee dps/sustain class and spec to play?

[@soulreaper8883]

I like inquisition, I'm not a fan of auto attacks I prefer doing damage on button press myself, but the stance dance makes me happy and the theme is on point tbh

[@Crayven95]

I still feel like a class should use something from every spec. Like maybe a talent in the class tree that makes your melee ability empower a list of abilities from all specs, or something from the musket book that the melee spec can use

[@batmon26]

doubs anyway u can turn the hell hounds into banchies? idk why just thing the witch hunter would have some witch like souls they captured and could use. maybe its a stupid idea but once I saw the hell hounds I was like hmmm

[@Sinstyson]

I'm losing hope honestly. You guys keep pushing the date for release and don't give any new dates or anything. I pretty much started regretting paying for alpha in support of you guys leaving us still in the dark all the time.

[@davebehm3875]

That's the whole point of the thing. It was made intentionally with no deadline for completion so they could work and rework to their hearts content to get it perfect before release.

[@Sinstyson]

@@davebehm3875 well they said its gonna release end 2023 then early 2024 now again nothing, so no, thats not true

[@ahetzel9054]

Dude same. I dont regret buying it cuz i did get around 100 hours out of it but its really sad that its never going to live up to its early days. They shoukdve just pushed to get it out and then kept updating it to make it better. No one cares about it now and id be surprised if it came out before 2030

[@pickledblowfish6178]

​@davebehm3875 "perfect" this shit hardly functions. Tool tips dont work, crashing in cities, load screen crashes. Basic functionality problems in the base game. The idea that people pay for this is baffling

[@WilliamMartin-ud4pr]

@@pickledblowfish6178 lots of updates in the last fee days in prep for lvl 60 update. Everything works to my knowledge and feels polished. Very fun! Definitely worth another look. Server has been quite popular lately

[@allste626]

Same. I've long since given up hope. Waste of $50.

Hey guys, any news about CoA Phase 5? It's been a long time since Phase 4 released...

[@darkydrone]

What is the point of creating 4 specs where 3 of them are dps? Feels like an overkill.

[@judojoeblack]

so is 60 going to the cutoff or is it going to 80?

[@ahetzel9054]

Years and years ago they said it would eventually progress to tbc and then wrath but we'll be lucky if we get that before 2050😂

[@illoquent6818]

So when will 60 cap come out tho?

[@ahetzel9054]

Check back sometime between 2030 and 2035

[@Darkstorm299]

As SoD phase 3 with lvl 50 being the max coming out later this week I wonder what comes first. CoA lvl 60 beta or SoD phase 4 ;)

Only reason why I am not gonna play CoA (even tho I bought alpha access) is because it is too easy and fast. I really wanna be excited about getting white quality item or being able to make 1 rank better healing potions after collecting flowers like a mad man. If I could choose I would even remove all dungeons and battlegrounds from the game and turn the world to be main character again. Flypoints also should cost alot gold etc. Make things matter instead of dungeon grind fest.

You were my reason for joining ascension, my dad joined me and even met you at one point but I miss seeing classless vids, we miss you McDoubles

[@AlexanderKandel]

would you recommend this server(Conquest of Azeroth)? been thinking of getting it for a while but haven't been sure

[@arashpoorian8344]

Hi I have been watching you for some time now. here is an idea, make a new game. feels like you are putting so much in an old game with not lots of consumers. For me myself I would start playing a new game but I don’t want to go back to WOW. There is only so much you can do in the same game. Lots of love tho

[@Blobby90]

I love a good auto attack class in WoW. Classic Paladin with it's seals and judgement make it really tactical. I like that it has great burst damage but coming out of a long battle against a group of mobs because of your survivability is an awesome feeling

[@keleitas150]

it feels very strange from design choice. i would give the witch hunter the focus or energy resource and give it leather armor instead of mail. or, for better flavour, just cloth armor with agi stats if devs are planning to create custom items looks fun on paper, but the fantasy is a bit off

[@DaKevable]

I tried the witch hunter about a year or so ago and it wasnt for me (im a ranger/monk guy) but the black knight looked promising. And im glad u took away those double crossbow things, I always thought they didnt fit the game cuz of the animations and them literally being daggers

[@Blobby90]

Can someone explain to me his involvement with CoA? I'm curious because I can't find any info as to what exactly he does. At first I thought he was just an ideas guy, which is awesome, but from the way he's speaking it sounds like he's much more involved. Love the videos though McD

[@mythian5762]

its old video?now WH dont have stance

[@rumers100]

Is CoA even worthy? I mean the population. Right now elune and area 52 feel kinda staring (dead) and want to know if there are players on CoA.

[@ahetzel9054]

No, maybe 10-15 players online at any given time.

[@Toastburgler]

Please 60

[@Xero1of1]

Long comment: My thoughts about how to encourage world participation during play. You can keep the leveling up speed the same for ascension. That's fine. Alter the world to scale with level and have some areas have 80% difficulty and others 120% difficulty based on level. Then incorporate 'Area Points'. These in conjunction with reputation can be used to access new moves. So, everyone could technically get every move in the game. Also, remove factions as a baseline. What I mean is this: You complete a quest in Dun Murogh, you get +100rep for Alliance and -125rep for horde. Then, you'll have access to certain cities based upon your reputation. And then within those cities, you need a certain reputation to interact with the vendors. So, you're relatively neutral with Alliance and Horde? You have access to the Goblin cities. But to access, say, the auctioneer in booty bay, you need 5000 STV points, because it shows that you've contributed to Booty Bay in some way. You want access to SW? You'd better be at least honored with the Alliance. And so, in this way, if you separate all the moves out to trainers around the world, and those trainers require certain rep and AP (area points), then you'd be effectively forcing the players to utilize the entire world. And you can have super powerful moves that are very specifically geared towards a certain race to require not only alliance or horde rep, but lots and lots of AP as well. This way players can specialize towards a certain build type. And, if a player is patient enough, they can unlock EVERY move by maxing out Alliance and Alliance AP, then converting to Horde and lowering their Alliance rep and raising Horde rep... and then imagine the achievements you could earn during this process? So, it's still free pick. It's still fast leveling. But acquiring the moves you want for the build you want will take a lot of time and effort and a LOT of world questing. You could even have certain moves and areas available only to those who have reached, say, Revered with both Alliance AND Horde, but, they have to be back at neutral to learn the moves or access the areas. And this flip-flop can be done as many times as you'd like.

[@andrelemos8299]

Black knight is badass name shame its tank

[@taotao1092]

Everything looks cool but there are some major flaws imo, in the history of every wow expansion, and private servers, a passive like blackpowder, where new stacks do not refresh its duration, has never felt good. There has not been a single instance where an ability like that has felt anything but frustrating. I'm really looking forward to witch hunter, especially darkness but I don't see it being fun in its current iteration

[@rarristar]

Not sure I like the Witch Hunter name, but pretty much everything else seems cool. Seems similar to the Order of Ember in Drustvar in BfA. Hope the Black Knight spec gets a 'Knighthood' passive if it doesn't have it already.

[@dacarv]

4 years in Alpha. It starts to hurt the project's reputation...I say it with good intentions, release it already. You're not making the next AAA game. This is still a private server/WoW mod.

[@ahetzel9054]

I agree 100% Been waiting for 60 cap since 2019... Idky they decided to rework the talent trees. It has the same amount of bloat as the old trees. Just feels like 3 years of wasted time.

No offence but I don't understand your obsession with PvP Mcdoubles. PvP in gaming has been will always be an toxic mess. That always bring the worst out in the people who participated in it . Frankly it shouldn't exist in MMOs. In my opinion if really feel the need to PvP then go play a MOBA or maybe a FPS game. Atleast those type of game are designed for PvP unlike MMOs which have been PvE games first with the PvP content added on them as an extra feature.

[@georgigeorgiev2451]

lol literally the only reason im looking forward to CoA is the PvP element. WoW for me has always been about the pvp endgame so idk what yre talking about

[@nightvisiontv1847]

⁠no pvp in world of WARcraft ahh yes. Also fps games and mobas are unbalanced as well lol. No game will ever be perfectly balanced.

[@sain223]

Ok but MOBAs and FPS games are designed with PvP as their core mechanic. Unlike MMOs which have been PvE games first with PvP tacked on as an extra feature. And so far not a single MMOs has gotten PvP right. And PvP always turns in to shit show that a tracks the most toxic players.@@nightvisiontv1847

[@JamesDeanoli]

The only fun thing about mmos is pvp, pve is a meme and nothing more than glorified target dummies. PvP is literally just pve but hardmode where the pve npc can fight back and has a brain for counter play etc. Oh and pvp doesn't need to be balanced to be fun.
