Q4, RMTs, EW, and similar release dates. Blizzard's answer lol

[Lokrye]

So I just watched this video from start to finish and will give a nuanced take: I will have to say -- its pretty disingenuous from start to finish.

1) The whole legendary/covenant point for the Mage Tower: People already were led to believe such powers were not going to be available at the time because they didnt exist in Legion. It wouldnt make sense for an event where you scale down to that content's level to have powers exist and Mage Tower exists as a challenge mode, which was its entire point. Its not a "Blizzard doesnt wants you to get good at the game" point, which is ridiculous -- since you can argue that MT limits current content power to test your abilities of your core class competency. Your follow up point about 'muh carries' during an MT talking point makes no sense either, because MT is a solo instance that you cannot outgear -- meaning its entirely skill based.

2) Then comes to the rewards: "Who asked for this?" is pretty a non-point. Which devolves into a "in FF14 I can dye armor" point. Because we all know every armor set in FF14 is dyeable and they make it always openly available and never behind massive grinds. Lets be real here: I expected a FOMO argument and was let down immensely.

3) The whole 9.1.5 is a last ditch effort point also is complete nonsense. This would be like saying any X.X.5 in FF14 is a last ditch effort to bring people who back who may have unsubbed until the next content patch.

4) "WoW as an MMO ended in WotLK" -- then is FF14 not an MMO? Because doesnt FF14 have a lot of reference point points to Cata/Mists for ARR and so on in their development to relaunch?

Dude I get it, you quit WoW and play FF14 -- stop making it a personality. Its a bloody video game. This is just mind-bogglingly dumb.

Aww, thanks for watching man. I super appreciate that perspective and will use the feedback on my communication going forward

I think you use too much sensationalizing. I think you frame the video too much as "9.1.5 is supposed to be this last ditch effort" which generally makes zero sense knowing there is a 9.2 upcoming.

You think so? I don't do clickbait or buzzwords- in this vid I showed the info that is not readily available, like a shady start date for MT. Or the quiet fact that was recently released about not using any of the hour/day/week/month long grinds in MT. People don't know that, and being informed has shed light. I would say sensationalization is more for the big content creators that are a little more self indulging. The same day I posted this vid, the big names were lampooning the new store mount to garner likes. See the difference? 9.1.5 was announced as the MT coming back and aoe cap removed. Those are back pocket last ditch efforts under the guise of "content" for 9.1.5. Now that we're into November, folks like me are uncovering the actual details surrounding it. You advised I appear disingenuous, but I mean, objectively I seem pretty genuine in comparison SE doesn't play to these tactics, they rely on a fun game, quite the contrast I thought I conveyed there, but I appreciate that it didn't get picked up. I may make some adjustments.

We absolutely do not know there is a 9.2 coming. Ion Hazzikostas would not even confirm it in an interview he did just yesterday.

You are thinking of 9.3, not 9.2. 9.2 has long been confirmed. Even in the interview you mention, 9.2 is mentioned multiple times by Ion.

Everyone knew that Legion TW wasnt going to be available right away. Ever since they have added new Timewalking expansion events, they have not been in the game day 1 of the patch. Legion 7.1.5 and BFA 8.1.5 are testament to that. The issue about your video is that you are directing it to an audience who is pretty invested in the game we play. We know how to look things up and fact check. Bro, we post on a video game forum for an MMO.

Or the quiet fact that was recently released about not using any of the hour/day/week/month long grinds in MT.

Again, something that is supposed to scale you down to the expansion of that time should not take into account future borrowed power. Thats how you make things balanced and evergreen content. Think of it like this -- in DF, you scale down based upon the dungeon you do. Meaning, you dont have access to all your job's power and skills to use. How is this any different? Is SE actively forcing players to be bad by not having their full class potential in all levels of content? No, because it makes zero sense. Its a balance perspective.

Those are back pocket last ditch efforts under the guise of "content" for 9.1.5.

Because X.1.5 patches arent content patches and never have been. Again, this is like complaining about lack of new content during a X.X.5 patch in FF14.

objectively I seem pretty genuine in comparison SE doesn't play to these tactics, they rely on a fun game, quite the contrast I thought I conveyed there, but I appreciate that it didn't get picked up. I may make some adjustments.

How long have you played FF14? Because SE is very limited on the information that they give out on future content patches all the time, especially with no public testing. Again, this feels like a general "WoW does this and tis bad, but conveniently ignore SE does it too".

[Lokrye]

Everyone knew that

I think you showed your hand on sensationalism brother. Legion m+ and MT timewalking is a different beast, is the crown jewel of 9.1.5, and there was no reason to delay it into December other than to trick people into subbing in Nov, and then Dec. SE doesn't do this, you know both these things. I can't really touch on your other points as they're not coming from a truthful stance- thank you though.

[Poporito_Popoto]

not sure what that is, but you guys sure do speak the same language lol

It's a content creator talking about the same topic as you. Only better.

Not very long apparently. Hasn't reached 80 on a class yet. Also running an undergeared tank. Good luck to those he groups with.

So Blizzard's master plan to get two months of subs from people is to announce the date of Legion Timewalking is later on in the patch, show that in the patch notes, and make public attention to that fact? Do you know how literally stupid that sounds?

SE doesn't do this, you know both these things.

Brother, you've played the game for less than 3 months. Dont try to pretend to play a position of knowledge when you've openly shown your experience in your own YouTube channel. SE is not usually forthcoming with a content patch info until a live letter a month prior with actual details not being shown until in the patch notes for the patch. Hell, we are nearing the new expansion and we still know very little of Island Sanctuary (an entirely brand new system designed for casual solo content).

I wont call out new players for making new player mistakes. I will however, recommend that he invests in buying gear from Crystarium to help upgrade his current pieces to current level.
