Is this for real? Lol... Well he didn't like the game all that much last time (I can only assume since you don't quit stuff you really like) but maybe he'll finish it out and do some raids. I know he brings in a lot players and that's a good thing.

Trying to ruin the game for him again?

Can you not leave it alone and let him enjoy the game?

He was fine with the game. He liked it more than he expected.

It was the stream-sniping and similar shenanigans. His character was known well enough he couldn't even play off-stream without people bugging him.

I'll say the same thing I said last time. He's not the problem. Some of his viewers are. Hopefully they let him enjoy the game in some semblance of peace this time.

It's not even just his viewers. Almost any streamer that still has msq to complete, people are insufferable in chat. If you aren't playing exactly how they want you to play or you miss even the tiniest detail of something,people become absolute garbage human beings. I would have quit too. Some levels of aggravation just aren't worth it.

dude. who cares. i get you wanna make pointless bait threads but.. seriously can ppl stop hyping up asmongold...its annoying. let the guy play the game and just leave him alone. also im glad hes enjoying mhw

Oh so will he be able to play it without infighting among his chat this time?

Please don't ruin his experience this time. Let's let him do what he wants to do.

I hope people will just let him enjoy the game and leave him alone.

I guess he couldn't cut it as a Monster Hunter since he was apparently trying MH World for the first time after Capcom started promoting the return to world movement that started after Wilds was announced at the game awards. :P

@twocatsyelling723

Asmongold played FFXIV because it was trending. His chat had suggested he check it out before that, but he wasn't interested. Not until the YT algorithm said he should be.
As soon as XIV stopped trending, suddenly other games - all of which just happened to be trending at the time - became his priority.
All the while, he was saying he'd go back to FFXIV... just to keep those fans waiting for him to on the line.

Now that he no longer has to pretend to like FFXIV, he's back to bashing its graphics, combat, etc.

And it wasn't only Asmon. It was rather eye-opening to me to see how many larger creators are just as much slaves to the algorithm. Any time a new release comes out, I see the same big names streaming them, pretending to enjoy them... until the algorithm says it's time to move on... then they're pretending to enjoy the next big thing.

It's pretty gross.

My response to this news is the same as his response to the charity allegations.

He thought the game was okay but he did have a fair few issues with the game. I can only imagine the disappointment when he reaches endgame.

Could it maybe be that people's first impressions were good but cracks started to show as they continued playing? Idk..
I thought the game was perfect when i went through the story but then as i was about to dip into endgame i realised how shallow the gameplay loop really is. A crippling lack of a decent reward structure, a general lack of things to do and a homogenised roster of jobs that all must be designed around the 2 minute window.

Part of it I suppose boils down to how a game's community handles his comments and behavior.

In the case of Monster Hunter. From what I've heard ppl acknowledged him playing it gave it a little more visibility to people that had never played the games before. However they apparently didn't hold back on roasting him over things he said during his streams about the game to the point at times where they supposedly flooded his chat with comments calling him an idiot lol.

Internet neckbeard doing thing oh boy what news.

Last I remember he got up to Susano'o in the MSQ, so it'll be left to be seen how far he gets into the game before he quits again...

Another professional victim. If you find the end game disappointing why do you play the game? Take control of your life.

Greatest ever streamer of FFXIV? You must be kidding.

Asides the unnecessary, but harmless in the sense it won't affect much at all(Unless people from HERE go out and actually stir things. Which usually doesn't ever happen).

Most in the thread really should just not bother.

The most normal comment, are the ones that say, let em do what they do.

(If you still dislike the idea that some folk are gonna farm popular games, and find it disgusting. You're letting it get to you abit too much. Besides, the game isn't designed to keep you tied up 24/7 as other games. Hopefully DT has the amount of content to keep us Decently Satisfied.)

Let em do as he does, the game will speak for itself.

And we don't need to clarify how his chat attacks or false flags itself. He will eventually spot it. (Besides, if he ever does fall for it again, it'll be on him for believing it. Which will be funny for just a couple of seconds before we move on to other things worth the time.)

In the end, too many good games to play, can you honestly just keep people down to one game?
or expect them not to go as the chat, or your itches tell you to.

He's no different, none here are either.

(except, we could just say we are happy for him, or sad that it happened.)

I'm aware he installed FFXIV again because he was convinced by a female streamer, but when did he actually state he'll be coming back to FFXIV? Can you show a clip?

Drama incoming. Don't really care about streamers/influencers, but it doesn't change the fact that they're magnets for drama.

That's a joke right? There's going to be regulars on this game following him around being obnoxious, and there's going to be people that follow him regularly who will pick up the game because he does. His followers that jump into the game will most likely be problematic too.

Like he's not going to bringing in a small army of people or greatly increase the game's population, and he's welcome to do whatever he wants as long as he behaves, but there will most definitely be drama of some sort. It'll be unfortunate to see it occur.

I suppose that's just as expected though considering who announced it to the forums.

Oh, I'm not saying there won't be issues.
It just doesn't help people to focus on it, better to let it blow up on themselves if they try to do broad brushstrokes. and those who don't follow or look to cause chaos or partake in the "festivities" shouldn't look into at all.

But those that get triggered by him just existing, or the fact that we small section of forum users can't truly do much or affect much. Needs to just not focus too much on it.

In other words, Seriously not care what the results are. we know who we are for ourselves.
Not the other way around.

But some here make it seem large or catastrophic than it is.

[Those that do cause issue, are already those who would of caused it anyways. If you didn't expect them, then that's the issue in your readings.
What is of true issue, is people trying to sugarcoat or Bubble them in safety.
They can handle their own Refuse, if it stacks up or falls.
But when it does fall apart. it'll be those who are just there, controlling damage that ain't theirs who make it everyone else's problem.]

I hope he has a good time when he comes around again and people let him do his thing.

When its about just enjoying it because of stream snipers, then just play off stream and with unknown alt?

He was by far the biggest FF14 streamer. AFAIR he doubled the FF14 viewer count on twitch. It is what it is.


Cheers

Probably in the minority here, but I liked his streams. Watching him run through old synced content with randoms who happened to join up was enjoyable. I don't even usually watch streams, but I was sick at the time and it was something relaxing I could do in bed. Eventually I found myself looking forward to them. So I hope he does come back. It was also fun seeing lots of renewed interest in the game during that period. Granted, the streamers were obviously just in it for the dosh, but they brought with them a lot of new players so that was nice imo.

Frankly, I don't understand the drama/fearmongering at all. "Some of the new people are from WoW!" homie who cares. You know Yoshida initially told his devteam to study WoW (among other mmos) for inspiration when they had to rebuild, right? This boogeyman schtick is ridiculous; some of the people playing this game are hella fragile and need to touch grass.

Based on what? I don't normally watch him but I caught some his XIV streams at the time and he seemed to enjoy himself.

Beyond zone congestion the only "problems" I remember anyone causing were for him by following him and swarming him with mounts, not the player base at large.

Hello!

No, Asmon won't play XIV again. This is a bait thread.

Well - returning to the game or not, he seemed to like the new Cinematic well enough:

Is this the same dude who bled all over his wall when he had gum disease and never wiped it off?

Thought this was common knowledge. I don't watch either, but it was a big deal at the time. There you are though. There were also issues later on that persisted. Some of the crowd that he brings with him isn't too pleasant either granted.

hes literally on iceborn

I feel like a lot of people are missing the elephant in the room if Asmongold returns to FFXIV. For a moment, let's disregard how he personally feels about the game and how long he might play for and shift the focus on what his return to the game might do for the rest of us. This is the second time now he would be picking up FFXIV just right before an expansion (Just in time for him to be able to attend the media tour well played on that), which is also when the game is in a bit of decline. The game will become drastically populated again as his followers come to the game like they did the first time in masses. Login queues, congested server spaces, 'WoW Refugee Wave 2' for lack of a better way of expressing it. I'm less concerned about his opinions of the game (But even that actually carries a lot of weight for the devs and shouldn't be dismissed), and more concerned about what his actions will bring back to the game. Like how the devs invested all this time and money into more server spaces because of the audience he brought only for it to go largely unused since he quit.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. Server and zone congestion is certainly an issue, but not unique to him or "his" crowd, and the people swarming him with mounts and skills were already XIV players and were seemingly swiftly dealt with?

In any case, it's a bait thread and he's apparently not playing again for the foreseeable future so it's all moot anyway. :) If he does ever decide to play again I hope people can be chill and let him enjoy it.

No, it is not. He downloaded already the game.

In before people get banned for being total idiots trolling him

Not to be mean but I think he'll give up mid way :I
