The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[Losara]

Honestly Asmon did a good stream today, didn't just skip every cut scene and actually read out most of it to chat. Its nice to see someone enjoy the game. Much prefer watching streamers who enjoy games over those who just buy a story skip and have no idea why they are at end game.

My dummy brain cannot fathom why would anyone follow a person for multiple hours who clearly does not want them to be there. Do they think they are part of something? (which they are not)
Can't they comprehend how pathetic it makes them to look like.
I rarely use the word loser but it came up really quick on tip of my tongue while i was watching the stream.

I was watching him stream during his first Sastasha run today and he said the other members of his party were being nice and helpful so that's good to hear.

Yes he did

Yeah, I am actually really looking forward to him getting to see the big moments with epic visuals.
I think he'll really enjoy them I've seen a lot of other Streamers get really surprised and hype about it.
FFXIV does big epic moments really well particularly in later expansions.

The dungeons early on are also too easy imo nowadays, so I am looking forward to seeing him play dungeons where bosses don't immediately die too.

Why does it have to be an either or, I've literally implied and acknowledged that there are bad people in the community.
But in a game where the community at large or to any substantial level is bad it would've been far worse than it was.
Most people weren't even harassing him or doing anything bad.

I know that you learned a new catchy word and want to throw it around every opportunity that you get, that doesn't mean that it's true.
Pointing out the obvious that apparently isn't so obvious to some people ( with alterior motives I'd imagine ) isn't coping.
I have nothing to cope about, nothing that I've said has even so much as implied that it's what I am doing either you can't just throw that at anyone you disagree with that's just intellectually lazy and dishonest.

If anything it'd make more sense in this situation for me to say that you're coping.



Yeah in the end of the day Asmongold playing the game is pretty awesome marketing wise, it'd actually make sense for SE to try and make the experience as good as possible.
Dedicating a GM to keep an eye on him and deal with players harassing him wouldn't even be that big of an investement and it'd reflect very well on them and the game.

It's true tho as people have pointed out that he's used to it, I don't think he'll hold this against the game it's the same in WoW for him.

By what metric do you go off of "it would of been much worse", if the community was bad.

I didn't watch much, but I figured I'd at least pop in for a bit so I'd have some basis for commenting on him. He clearly seems more used to a different system (duh), and while he clearly has a good idea of the basics here, he hasn't learned everything and hasn't tried pushing his limits yet, both which are fine. At minimum, he seems willing to learn, and actually excited to see what some of the later harder fights are.

This being the first time I've seen him stream, ignoring his chat almost entirely (How do you even read any of that?), and missing all the issues he apparently had at the beginning, I might pop in to watch more, because I find it fun seeing new players/outsiders playing the game and pointing things out. It'll be interesting regardless. I wonder if someone will teach him about minimum ilevel runs. Does WoW even have anything like that?

He liked the game, even said the cutscenes were nice. I guess some of you are disappointed now that he will be playing the second day aswell
Was also talking about a possible record viewers and subs

[Mirakumi]

I'm glad he liked the game and continues to play it. I'm also glad that the people didn't spoil his first dungeon and it keeps being like that. Doubt he'll ever see this but welcome to the game! Thanks for trying it out!

[Fredco191]

He's enjoying the game so far. I'm glad!



(I just wish he was in my data center...)

[van_arn]

I’m happy for him. He seemed to genuinely enjoy his start, even if it was a little simple.

Square’s mmos (and Final Fantasy as a whole) have always had the bubble problem, and I’m glad to see some fresh blood sneak in even if they’ve laughed at it in the past.

I’m especially glad he got the true ffxiv experience with a naked catgirl healbot carrying his party of sprouts through sastasha.

Yes, it is his fault that people decided to follow him around, he should be banned. Nice logic there pal.

If anything this shows that SE needs to implement better instancing areas.

Or SE could have monitored and expected this to happen and give jail time for those spergs. Or just throw them to the sharks, jails are too good for people like that
