Asmongold clears Garuda EX

[Drakonic]

You know, sometimes when I post a thread I'm not really trying to bait anyone. I'm out of ideas at the moment. Just thought Asmon clearing Garuda EX at min ilvl was cool. You rarely see people do old content at their intended scaling these days.

But wow, the amount of hate this got is just astounding. I wasn't even expecting this genuinely.

The "Asmongold this, Asmongold that" thread my friend made was a joke - an extreme caricature of this guy he saw on Twitter complaining, but nevertheless a hyperbolized caricature - and I hoped people have a good laugh out of that but it's no longer funny when people actually behave like that extreme caricature.

It's just sad but what can I say - great community btw

Same goes for the LGBT threads. It always baits out the bigots. Kudos to Ativan for making me see them.

I'm just trying to figure out how someone like that streamer attracts so much attention? I tried years ago in WoW to see his content and couldn't even 2 minutes in... and same now.

I suppose people have really low standards for the sub-celebrity culture.

Because I already am? Oh, I forgot! I'm MPK alt rofl. Sorry for almost shattering your bubble.



Jealous much?

Boy, MPK is a TitanMen alt didn't you know?

I think a lot of the negativity from this thread comes from people that are salty that in less than 1 week Asmongold is already a better player than they are after 7+ years.



FYI Asmongold is now a FFXIV player and what you just did is a violation of the no insulting, slander or harrasment of another player from the Forum Guidelines: https://support.na.square-enix.com/r...la=1&tag=forum
I'm afraid I will have to report your post.

Do you actually ever report because for once this comedy sketch of yours hits true

My curious question is though, for as interesting as it is, would it really ever take off on a wider scale with the general playerbase. It's a lot easier to overlook mistakes that wider-known figures might make than the general community.

FF14 players are mostly vicariously reliving their noob days through Asmongold, and WoW players see how challenging even an Extreme fight could be. Even if no one actually does min ilvl extremes from now on (and I doubt it'll become a thing) this is already a good moment for FF14.

Oh definitely, it's going to be a joy to see him do Coils honestly, was my first taste, albeit brief, but many memories from the end of ARR for me. Personally.

Seeing him do this though, and especially when it comes to Coils will only make me want SE to do Unreal raids alongside Extremes.. What'd your thoughts on that be.

I think that at this point not many can really dispute that Asmongold streaming/playing FF14, and other WoW personalities, has positively influenced the population of the game, as can be seen in numerous news stories about FF14 selling out, server congestion, etc. Since we all, hopefully, love this game we play, shouldn't we see any press that brings new players into the game and lets them enjoy it (stay or not, but hopefully stay) as a good thing? I've played FF14 ARR since beta but also played WoW through until Shadowlands (when I just had to stop). Asmongold has always had his on-feed/stream personality that can be a little toxic at times, but that is part of the show. Like any other show put on for views, his actions and personality during those is just a persona - a performance. So yes, his streaming personality while on his main channel isn't as welcoming at times as it should/could be, if you look at his ZackRawrr Youtube channel and see his ideas outside of WoW streaming and his 'persona', he isn't that bad of a guy and actually fairly articulate and kinda chill. Just everyone saying how terrible he is should think of his main channel as a 'show', and maybe recognize the good he and other WoW personalities have done to improve the FF14 population and bring it to more and more people ^^

I hope the Unreal extremes were a pilot study for what you've described. They should have some automatic Unreal scaling system in place...
