The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[lezard21]

It's hilarious how many people fail to see the bigger picture. We are currently in content drought for the next 4 months, and subs had already plummeted. Asmongold coming to the game and bringing a lot of new players is the best thing that could happen right now. Maybe that sudden additional sub money income will allow SE to let male bunny boys use hats. Limsa RPers should actually be helping him out by logging out instead of staying logged in AFKing.

Or they could go to a server where RPers actually are. While they're at it they could go to Ul'dah too, you know, where the RPers actually hang out.

I mean, RPers roleplay where they want. Limsa does have RP, just to a lesser extent than what Ul'dah is known for.

I've been suspecting this for a while now...but you're one of his diehard fans, aren't you? I've been seeing a lot of commentary from you that comes across as white knighting (not to say it is) and you seem to take his side on everything. If you are one of his fans...then please encourage him to make another character without streaming or letting anybody know the name/server/data center. It's going to be better for him in the long run (both for his mental state and his ability to play) if he has a hidden character since he can experience the game without a constant influx of people hovering around him or messing with him.

Who am I is neither here nor there. The facts are he is now a FFXIV player and people are griefing him ingame and defamating him in forums, so GMs better step up and start enforcing the community rules.

Him making a new secret character is a pointless since when he starts streaming raids his name will be visible and the toxic harrasment will resume.

The point was to have a solid starting point. Obviously he's going to stream himself raiding, but he still needs to *get* to the raids. Whether he starts with BCoB or waits until Ultimates (and their unlocks) or Eden, he has to get there, and it's easier if he doesn't have a swarm of people following him.

Though I *kinda* want to see him unlocking the Ivalice Raids with people joining him. Red Chocobos were a blast and I want to see it again.

Oh god, that on patch day was *pain*. So-many-corpses. Resurrection went brrrr that day lol

Unlocking it on alts just isn't the same...

Exactly. And I agree about the Red Chocobos. Once again I can chant in chat (like at release), "No mercy for the damned! Thus thou hast no escape from the grasp of catastrophe! METEOR SWARM!"

How does one grief a player in a raid instance unless you're in the same party/Alliance? No one can send him tells, spam him with friend requests, etc. when he is in an instanced duty.

His name doesn't have to be visible at all. initials are an option. World can be hidden via Character Customization HUD options.

There are so many ways to avoid what's happening right now. He was actually warned by other content creators on how to avoid this mess. He chose not to listen.

He's not stupid, he knows how his community behaves. He encourages it because he makes money from it. He's got no one to blame but himself.

If the GMs take any action, it's going to be because of other normal players having their game experience disrupted by the presence of his stream. Asmongold is far more likely to get tossed into the gaol for deliberately provoking the situation. That might be a good thing. Let his character sit in the gaol a couple of days while his viewers get bored and drift away to do other things. Then he can get smart, stop streaming, make a new character and enjoy the game.

The release of Endwalker is going to be a mess if SE doesn't do some serious upgrades.

Won't be any more of a mess than Shadowbringers launch was. They'll have the zones expected to be congested instanced again. Even East Shroud had been instanced for Shadowbringers launch because they knew a lot of players would be unlocking GNB.

ARR = Bad, naive devs thought not that many people would play.
HW = Ok. Some issues arround but overall much better.
SB = WTF who did design the scenario, how do you even. Wat.
ShB = Ok! Finally...?

We have yet to see.
