@@deeepdish ​​⁠ I’m sorry but that is a laughably bad take. Look at other studios like Larian or GGG and how they listen to their communities and their games are better for it! I’m not saying there aren’t bad actors within communities, but devs shouldn’t have a “our way or the highway” mentality, you’re gonna push potential customers away or make veteran players leave (which many have). No studio is perfect, but there should be dialogue!

@@treymadison4592 On one hand 450k dps and tier 3 orbital strikes and KAPOW! BLAM! SPLAT! Things falling over dead at your feet... and BZZZAPPP NYOOOOOM PSSHHH and firing giant laser beams. On the other hand? My savage Orc Fury Warrior in his bad-ass mog, dual-wielding his 2 bad-ass GIANT axes... and his literal rotation was Charge... and by the time I'd appear at the enemy I was targeting, not only they would be dead, but everything within 10 yards too... by a random Orbital Strike... And then, the _pièce de résistance._ The _cherry on top_ of it all? My fucking magical girl lovu-lovu-beamu. Stood in the middle of a pack of enemies... firing a fucking laser beam from his necklace. I'm not an RPer, so things like that normally don't bug me... but you've gotta laugh haven't you? But... I can't deny it didn't feel damn good at the time. Sure, being hardcore it made it a mundane grind of levelling up your cloak and staying on top of BiS essences and corruption rolls, but, if you look at anyone else remotely more casual, they're getting random items that blow shit up at the end of an expansion where it's like "fuck it... we might as well go nuts before the next expansion comes and strips us of our power, again." It's not what I want from WoW, put it that way... but, if it gets to that stage in Shadowlands and starts mimicking BfA where I lost interest from the start all the way up until the Mechagon patch, I'll be well glad for something _like_ (but not) corruptions.

[@chazhartwayne6493]

TL;DR Why BFA Sucked: The Video.

[@tnecniw]

More or less. Almost all of BFA's main systems were... flawed. (hell one were flawed due to the other being REALLY flawed) I personally found island expeditions really fun... And I liked the CONCEPT of the warfronts... (even if they REALLY needed to be balanced to be more interesting and be a PvP option) But yeah, every system in BFA had so, so many flaws.

[@selalewow]

But like he said, rather than being about exploring the island expedition was less about exploring and more about mass mob pulls which got old fast. I love to explore the game so islands were a let down because my group always yelled at me for wandering off.

[@ZombieSlayerTakashi]

BFA and WoD mainly.

[@dante93nero]

@@ZombieSlayerTakashi WoD is nothing like BFA. The issue people had with WoD wasn't about systems it was mainly because of lack of content and the content besides raiding that you could do revolved around garrisons. BFA had multiple new systems and ideas and non of them worked out well it's completely different

[@raul92a]

pretty much when BFA launched i just had no drive to even start the expac. maybe i burnt myself out in legion but when when i would re sub thinking maybe if i play it might sweep into wanting to play but nope nothing. i'm back now and it's'fun i missed this game and i do feel a lot of regret for missing content when it was current.

[@Bonolovesme]

4:51 The ''Arcane Mage only needing Arcane Blast'' joke never gets old.

[@frostlashali7115]

I will say in terms of weapon skills, it was a fun RPG element of your character learning how to use the new weapon type in their hands. The lack of skill up items and the +5 skills on Humans / Orcs definitely made it "Play these races or you are SoL as a warrior"

[@saphironkindris]

I liked the weapon skills too! It makes sense that if you've spent 4 adventures with a sword, you'll be way better with a sword than a battleaxe. ...It needed some rework, admittedly, to prevent long AFK auto-attack farming

[@Drengen10]

tldr: entire BFA expansion

[@legacy_moments]

I mean, it's the worst expansion in WoW history. WoD gets shit but the reality behind it sucking is it had practically no new content after launch. BfA had a lot of content which consistently managed to suck, a garbage storyline, AND pruned, shitty class design. It is and always will be a joke and the devs should be ashamed it exists.

[@nachochicken4636]

BFA was one of my favorites and ive been playing since WOTLK. I dont know why people hate it so much

[@legacy_moments]

@@nachochicken4636 I hate it so much because of the things I just mentioned above lol. The aesthetic/general thematics were not my favorite either. It especially disappointed me because they hyped it up so much and Legion was such a strong expac (yes even despite legiondaries). I genuinely think the only thing you could validly argue about BfA is decent raiding content, but WoW has never had a completely shitty raid in my opinion besides the super short ones and Dragon Soul. With all these negatives said, SL has been good so far!

[@Fabriciod_Crv]

@@legacy_moments thing is, WoD had potential to be an absolute blast of an expansion, especially since it was a follow-up to MoP and would get the people back who were pissed off about the pandas. And wasted potential is the worst kind of bad, not to mention the content that was there wasn’t very good outside of leveling and raids.

[@MatekFXX]

@@nachochicken4636 BfA top 4 exp for mee to. I dont known how people can not put WoD as worst expansion ever mayby because it was long time ago so the dont remember it. If BfA was to change spot in time with WoD so WoD was recent exp people will give it 1/100 rating it was that bad but they dont remember because of how much time left since that.

[@gorrevisor]

Azerite armor and Azerite Essences both would have been great features. The only issue with them, is that they were designed by donkeys and were completely distanced from their potential.

[@iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT]

I feel like azerite armors wouldnt be too bad if they designed it with the same level of complexity and diversity as the legion artifacts. Essence is fine, just need better balancing and be shared ACCOUNT WIDE!

[@andresviteri8589]

So... I dont see you explaining the problem or giving a solution.

[@Yomom12388]

Andres Viteri It really isn’t that hard to extrapolate what they thought the problem was, and thus the solution, from the comment. The Azerite traits were all boring for the most part and didn’t add all that much to the gameplay. They had the potential to be a lot better and more fun and game changing, but they weren’t. Solution is: shoulda made em cooler. There you go, happy to help.

[@Y0G0FU]

This is the case with everything in BFA. It all had amazing potential but it was designed in the most boring and streamlined way possible.

[@zyella277]

And that where designed to cover up the broken mess that where base casses(which artifacts where aswell, the base classes are increbdly terrible which is still remaisn in sl's but bit lesser extent). Blizz just keeps designign 1expac onyl systems to throw away by end of it to fix their classes, isnetad of fixing the classes.

[@jerlbays7412]

god, getting a piece of azerite armor that didn't have the meta traits you needed was the worst

[@LainiWeiz]

You forgot one of the biggest complaints with Azerite armour, having to pay to change the traits when switching specs. I have no idea why they did it that way, tier set pieces managed to swap bonuses between specs so I don't see how they couldn't have done the same here. It became less of an issue as the expansion went on and you had more gear but it was still really annoying.

[@indeed2207]

Why would it be free? That's exactly the king of crap that made wow so bad and casual. Before, you had to loot two different set, and that's how it should always be.

[@obvlious1152]

I don't even need to watch more than the first 0:03 seconds to know that Titan Forging is gonna be in here and Azerite is gonna be in here. Bruh BFA had such horrible systems.

[@obvlious1152]

Ayo i was Right lol

[@Nerobyrne]

Kind of a shame, I liked the idea of Azerite. I just didn't like the concept of artifact power in general. Didn't like it in Legion, don't like it now. It's just a lazy way to time-gate progression. I liked the lore-stuff they did with Azerite, that was pretty cool. But, that's a story element, not a game feature.

[@capitaldcolon1795]

Titanforging was introduced in 2012 tho, not a bfa system. And people only hated on corruptions or azerite armor because they never got lucky. I got all my BiS shit pretty early in each tier (even my Getikku sword from +15) so i was kinda happy most of the expansion. Being one of the strongest damage classes as a warrior was great aswell. Specially in cleave fights, azerite armor gave you such a huge boost with 3 x Cold Steel Hot Blood. I enjoyed bfa and i play wow since 2005

[@Nerobyrne]

@@capitaldcolon1795 I'm going to have to disagree with you on azerite. Essentially, since all the rings are randomly assigned each time, you'd have to reroll so many times that you're never going to get the actually optimal selection on every item unless you're very lucky. Now, WoW has always been luck based, but in the past there were lots of ways to get BiS gear quickly without relying on RNG. Even in Classic you can just grind money and buy some great gear. This loot system was terrible and I'm glad they realized it.

[@capitaldcolon1795]

@@Nerobyrne What do you mean? The same item ALWAYS had the same Traits. They werent randomly assigned. WDYM? If you got the Shoulders from 2nd Boss Eternal Palace, the traits were ALWAYS the same.

Hey Hiru, I enjoy your content. I was thinking an interesting series for you to do would be a history of the lore of each dungeon in the game. A neat way to do it would be to feature a run though of the dungeon, while explaining why each boss is there and the lore behind them. I'm sure there are alot of folks who don't know why you need to defeat the defias brotherhood, or why they have an ogre working with them? Why do we fight all those Dark Iron dwarves when they are part of the alliance? What is the deal with the Occulus?

Other mechanic I was glad it is gone is when you had to go to your class trainer to buy the new skills and level the ones you already had. On another note, My main cannot, to this day, fly in AU Draenor. I never got to do it. (I would have to check it maybe it was unlocked by default recently or something).

Depends. Show me a warrior in Classic who still wears blue items in BWL. Or Show me a TBC mage who wears blue items in tempest keep.

If you wanted to play as a solo player, you won't enter a guild, that's not where you belong. You were gaining "fame" in the guild, and that how things were most of the time offered. You work well, you get rewards if you participate in big events like raids. Obviously, main healers and tanks were first for every loots, because they are the most importants.

As a PVE player Ai really liked the stat templates, then I felt encouraged to play PVP

[@royalcat10]

That was the biggest problem, though. You felt encouraged to play PvP because you got a leg up over people that play PvP as their main focus. The people that actually primarily wanted to play PvP got *discouraged* from playing because they were forced to slog through a bunch of PvE content they never liked... While you got a free pass because you were already doing that anyways. (And presumably enjoyed it, which is fine.) Previously when there was resil or pvp power, *everyone* started on ground 0 and had to work their way up for every new character. The only way to get better at PvP was to... Play PvP. The PvE players that felt "discouraged" by that system weren't really, because *everyone* had to go through the same thing, including PvP players. It was just they didn't want to put in the work to get better that everyone else had to do. (Not necessarily speaking about you specifically.) I don't see how anyone can call it fair that players that apparently didn't even really like the PvP aspect of the game got priority and special catering over the people that actually did like it and play it. Imagine if you were forced to do lots of PvP content to be competent in PvE... Sounds unfair, right? So why was it fair the other way around?

[@freshfilmproducts]

in my opinion, the best part about the legiondarys was the way you obtained them. Everything you did felt like it was was worth it just because you increased your bad luck protection. Run a raid, dont get any loot, doesnt matter, because you will probably get a legendary soon for doing that. The system would have been perfect if you were able to disenchant 1 to 2 in order to craft the one you want.

[@TheArdomur]

I agree. Getting a Token would have been great. The way it was, i got my BiS legendary as the very first drop one the first dungeon i ran. My guildmate got the worst one and had to sit on the Bench on progress, just because he couldn't keep up with the dmg of my legendary. He than got a BiS legendary on an alt and stopped playing his main, cause he was so frustrated. Turning in a Token would have eliminated that. I mean everyone would have ran around with the same legendarys, but getting the shield neck as DPS while others get +25% more dmg was bad and frustrating

Island Expeditions were nice after 8.1 when tokens were used for something. Saying they abandoned them isn't correct either, as they added new NPC vendors near the end of the expac with lootboxes you could purchase to get random loot from the expeditions, including the sought after mounts. So they gave people an incentive to grind them.

Legiondaries: didn't get my bis ones until somewhere in the middle of Nighthold, at which point I had about 5 of the... many that there were. Beyond that I got everything that was available before the release of ToS. The day they released the 2 additional legendaries somewhere during the broken shore patch, I got both. By the end of Legion I had enough legendaries on my main (and virtually only) character to fill the legendary selection of 3 other characters. I had somewhere around 175 days /played for the duration of legion.

I actually think a version of stat templates with more customization is a good idea. Such as in games like guild wars 2 where you choose which stats template you want to use and other customizable pieces. And Lost ark let’s you put a set amount of points into what stats you wanna max out. I think these are way more competitive ideas but at least making pvp gearing easier or having a low disparity of gear has worked fine in DF.

the scaling cost of reforging azurite and then having to fill your bags with a ton of random azurite pieces you'd probably never use was also extremely annoying. It would also occasionally setup greedy situations where people would have azurite pieces they could trade b/c they already had them but would then keep them just to not have to pay 40k gold to respec them on top of having a specific place they have to go to respec them. Also at the very beginning of the expansion azurite gear wasn't even tradeable.

I actually like pathfinder it's a nice compromise between people who doesn't like flying mounts and people who can't live without them. I personally like the adventure sense and interactions with people that not being able to fly bring to the table... but that eventually wears off, so it's nice to being able to fly for convinience when you have "exhausted" the zones. That being said I still don't understand why flying is not unlocked for everyone in a given expansion after the next one have droped.

Top 10 worst specs in wow history (I'm guessing it's a lot of vanilla/tbc specs)

[@imadeyoureadthis1]

Melee survival hunter currently in pve.

[@Bepples]

@@imadeyoureadthis1 Preach. Melee SV Hunter is the #1 answer. Replaced a fun, widely-popular, and effective spec. Consistently useless tier after tier. One of the very least played specs in the game for 5 years straight. Literally the only spec in the game predicated on taking away part of the base class instead of building on the base class. Explicitly aimed at people other than those currently playing Hunters. It's the biggest class design debacle ever. At least back in Classic they had "lack of experience" as an excuse for some of the shit they put out.

[@imadeyoureadthis1]

@@Bepples i stopped playing hunter because of that. I loved explosive shot.

[@Bepples]

@@DisastrousIntentionally "Old survival was literally Marksman but with Explosive Shot." Only to clueless non-Hunters who thought they were all the same because "hurr ranged weapon". We don't declare that Arms is literally Fury with Colossus Smash because both of those specs have some thematic overlap. So try to refrain from declaring similarly stupid nonsense about Hunters. Survival was significantly different from Marksmanship in both theme and gameplay. "Blizzard failed for years to give that spec a genuine identity that felt different from the other Hunter specs." See above. There was no failure. That's revisionist history to dishonestly try to make melee Survival look better. Ranged Survival was not only fine, it was a successful spec that appealed to a lot of people and provided a nice alternative to the other Hunter specs. This is why it wasn't being frantically changed all the time like the current melee SV; it kept the same basic identity and gameplay for 4 expansions. That would simply not have been the case if Blizzard was desperately trying to find an identity like morons on the online discussions like to portray it. If you want to see a Hunter spec without a genuine identity, look to the current melee Survival which is a clumsy combination of several different identities because Blizzard has no clue what they're doing with the spec anymore and are largely just playing damage control due to the disasterous initial melee rework. "It was only ever popular when numbers put it above the other two specs, anytime that wasn't the case it was barely played. Played more than modern survival probably but still barely played. " It was actually routinely a popular spec even when it wasn't the best, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and say you're just clueless and unaware rather than outright lying. In Siege of Orgrimmar the spec was actually below BM yet still saw more play. But just look to Blackrock Foundry. That was a tier where SV was more significantly behind BM. In the last 2 weeks of that tier, Survival got 7.6k parses to BM's 42.2k. A lot less, for sure, but still more than nothing. Now look to the current tier, Castle Nathria. Survival has about 500 parses for the ENTIRE TIER so far. That's less than BM gets on average per DAY and they do more or less the same damage. Using play rates and representation as an argument against ranged Survival is so hilariously hypocritical and out of touch it's not funny. Actually, it kind of is funny that people can be this delusional. P.S. In Highmaul, just before Blackrock Foundry, Survival was literally the most played spec in the entire game by a massive margin. And that wasn't the first time. So you can kindly cut the bullshit about it being "barely played", thank you. The only tier where ranged SV was barely played, since it was recognisably ranged Survival with Explosive Shot, that is, was Hellfire Citadel in patch 6.2, and that was primarily because they mysteriously flat out removed a core mechanic that made the spec work, making it struggle to compete with tanks for damage. I wonder why they would do that just a month before announcing it would be replaced with a melee spec... hmmmmmm.... "Let's not pretend Survival was some amazing spec before the changes, it was always the spec that had no real identity outside of PvP." I'm not the one pretending here. You're the one making shit up as you go along to desperately try to make melee Survival look better. Ranged Survival had a great identity as the utilitarian that used exotic munitions and tools to gain an edge in the fight. This was distinct to both BM and MM and meaningfully and sensibly built off the base class. Survival right now nonsensically tries to build an identity by taking AWAY the most core part of the base class. It's the only spec in the entire game that tries to build off a weakness, and as such most people want nothing to do with it because it essentially defeats the entire purpose of being a Hunter. Blizzard also can't decide what to do with it so it has 3 different identities competing for prominence in the baseline toolkit; the stock-standard melee Skirmisher like a Warrior (Raptor Strike, Carve), the utilitarian toolkit that would better fit ranged Survival anyway (Wildfire Bomb, Serpent Sting), and the BM Hunter ripoffs (Kill Command, Coordinated Assault). Speaking of which... "At least modern Survival tries to be it's own spec, Blizzard just needs to put some genuine time into it." Oh, really? Because last I checked they literally rebuilt the spec from the ground up twice and what they arrived on was a spec that leans heavily on the identity of Beast Mastery to the point where it straight up copies BM abilities with some adjustments. They at least bothered to rename Bestial Wrath to Coordinated Assault when they copied it over, unlike Kill Command. Oh, and they straight up stole Spirit Bond and made it the mastery; you know, the iconic part of BM that was there from the literal beginning. I don't recall ranged Survival copying Aimed Shot, Chimera Shot, and Careful Aim over; it had its own toolkit yet the fact that they both used a ranged weapon was enough for you to declare "Old survival was literally Marksman but with Explosive Shot". So are you going to admit to being totally full of shit or what?

[@Bepples]

@@DisastrousIntentionally I'm not the one who thinks the Hunter specs were the same because they both used bows. I'm not the one who thinks a spec that was routinely one of the game's more popular specs, and even at times the most popular in the entire the game, was "barely played" unless it was overpowered. I'm not the one who thinks a spec that sees less parses in a month than another Hunter spec sees in a single day is an improvement. I'm not the one who thinks a spec that rips off half the toolkit from another spec is one that is forging its own identity. You're the one that's delusional, and I have no doubt in my mind that you do not and have not played a Hunter and you're in fact talking out your ass.

[@Evan-mt7bc]

The biggest problem with Azerite armor as somebody who dropped BFA early on was, as a Ret main my best Azerite trait was a trait that increased Avenging Wrath duration. Like this trait was so good it was worth sacrificing like 20-30 ilvls just to have a piece with this trait because early on Ret was pretty much only a usable spec in Avenging Wrath. Massive problem being that the helmet version with this trait only dropped from the final boss of Freehold and trying to get this helmet with a decent ilvl on it was probably one of the worst experiences of my life since when you completed a m+ dungeon you'd have a CHANCE to even get a piece of gear then not only that it was of EVERY piece of gear that dropped from that dungeon and BFA added a TON of gear to the game, I think Freehold dropped like 15-20 items or something for Ret in a 4 boss dungeon. Then from the weekly chest it would grab a piece from EVERY dungeon in the game that dropped. There was also a massive issue with weapon acquisition in BFA, I remember Horde got the first weapon world quest and people actually rerolled from Alliance to Horde just for this weapon. Early BFA was an absolute joke of an expansion if you cared even a tiny bit about gear hearing all these lies Blizzard was spewing about how Azerite is going to replace tier sets and Legiondaries and the Artifact Weapon trees themselves passives and gold traits and then 99% of the traits in the game were passive traits that had a chance to do X damage or a chance to increase X secondary stat. There was also the GCD change that put everything on a GCD and dear god I'm sure you remember but if you actually played Legion on a character then tried levelling that character through BFA you actively and noticeably got weaker every time you dinged, it was an absolute joke. Then on top of all of this BfA introduced an even more extreme version of ilvl mob scaling in the open world so mobs would scale as you got higher ilvl. Even on fully geared Shadowlands characters BfA mobs aren't that much weaker than Shadowlands mobs despite being 10 levels lower, that's how crazy the BfA ilvl scaling is. So in summary you were lied to about gear, your class was clunky and always on GCD, most classes were doing like 60-70% of their total damage as auto white hits, your character got actively weaker as you leveled up and even if you managed to get gear you never actually felt it because everything still had the same time to kill.

It's primarily the reputation grind. Fortunately it's already confirmed Shadowlands pathfinder won't have this, but it was having to mindlessly grind out dailies for several weeks to get rep well after you completed the storyline of that patch is what made it suck.

[@potatoespotatos]

IMO BC and WotLK had the best iteration of flight, where you had to pay a somewhat expensive fee at max level to fly. BUT, there were actual perks to flying. Places you couldn't reach and quests/reps you couldn't access without flying (think the Netherstorm and Ulduar dungeons/raid, as well as the Netherwing and Skettis content), entire zones that could hardly work without flying (Storm Peaks and Icecrown). The usual complaint that flying makes certain parts of the game too easy and convenient makes sense, yes, but that argument is very much mitigated when flying is actually integrated into the game experience, rather than being there just for convenience's sake, as it's been after LK. Pathfinder is a bit of a lazy compromise, IMO. It is as if Blizz were saying "we're too lazy to design content tailored for flight, but since you folks still want to be able to fly and do stuff, here's some time-gating for ya. Enjoy your grinds!"

[@smthng]

The initial idea is great, but they should really tone down some of the rep-related requirements. I'm all for mechanisms that subtly coerce players into enjoying more content, but the Pathfinder thing got out of hand. Completing the storylines and doing a couple of rep quests is perfect if you ask me, but having to collect junk in Mechagon and kill mobs in Nazjatar was really cumbersome.

easy, some of the craziest ways in which a player "broke" the game by using mechanics in an unintended way.

He aslo used an axe from the second boss in the nyalotha raid, which formed a bubble, and exploded causing damage based on your armor. He used it on his tanking pally, and when the bubble went off it would nearly kill other players hostile to him.

I’d like to see a short video on the Warrior’s Unrelenting Assault tanking spec before it was removed from the game. It existed before the Argent tournament raid in WotLK. I don’t think it was very well known, but I’m not sure. I knew a couple of tanks other than myself that did it until they removed it. There a deep arms talent called Unrelenting Assault that for two points reduced the cooldown of Revenge and Overpowered by 4 seconds, but the proc window was still 5 seconds. This means you could block/dodge/parry once at the beginning of the fight and then so long as you kept doing that once every 5 seconds you could literally spam Revenge every second until the fight was over. The damage and threat generated by Revenge was obscene and nobody could ever take agro from you, including max gear players during the malygos raid phase 1. You could improve the spec by getting the glyphs that gave you a free heroic strike when you used revenge and the glyph that gave you 10 rage when you crit heroic strike. Since UA was a 25 point talent, you would also get mortal strike, which is usable in all stances and generates a lot of threat too. You went deep enough into the prot tree to get Vigilence. It was basically arms spec tanking and was funny because it was a two button spec (heroic strike and revenge). Anything else you pressed was just to reduce damage taken. This was completely removed from the game when they fixed the unintended bug that left the proc window of revenge open for the full five seconds
