MoP Remix has been very controversial so far in its short time on our screens. We've seen buffs, nerfs, and those froggy, froggy bois. Let's talk about what went wrong and how Blizzard can fix it.

Edit: Had to do an audio replacement on the start of the frog skit because KZfaq's content ID system sucks ass and didn't flag until well after the video was out lol. So its a bit scuff. Mike's having a great time in the chaos of MoP: Remix, but there's no denying Blizzard's handling of the Frogs and their follow ups leave something to be desired. Mike has some ideas on how they can go about fixing it by leaning into the silliness. How's your experience of Remix been so far?

I will say I personally am enjoying it. I do think the frog's definitely left a stain on the game for sure, I do think it's more for folks obtaining collectibles they weren't able to get back than, or even new players like myself leading into retail now. Overall though I am enjoying it but ofc things can always be better and much much more improved. Great video Preach, Lock It In 🔒

I am one of those people who was about 1,5 hours every day to play WoW. I am spending all of my time in Remix. I am having a great time. I don't really care about all this nerfing and grinding etc. I am having fun at the moment and that's why I play. Retail is not giving me the satisfaction of power and power gain that Remix is currently giving me, so yeah, I doubt I'd last until the prepatch without Remix. That said, I totally agree that Blizz still has not learned how to run a 'live' game. The Helldivers 2 devs totally get it, they are doing great stuff engaging the community. Even though I do not play, I enjoy reading about it in my feeds. Blizz seem like a bunch of autistic kids trying to make the world fit into their little box.

Let's define unbalanced nightmare, shall we? I don't think it's fair that people's lack of self control means that every dungeon has turned into a boost. It's boring as hell. As much as I can see the point and I wouldn't exactly mind an unbalanced nightmare, this is also a game which is supposed to be fun and if the unbalanced nightmare, as it were, is just boring, then what's the point? Also, I'm not talking about boring for the frogger, this is an mmo with group content, the fact that 1% of the playerbase is 10000% more powerful than 99% of the rest makes it incredibly boring to not grind frogs for hours (also boring). Also, if everyone was "OP and unbalanced" then nobody are, imagine a raid boss with a full group of froggers. It's gone in less than a second, you can just fill the group with dps. Blizzard would have to buff raids etc. To keep the integrity of the fact that it's a game, and then you are just back to square one.

Its actually kind of funny how not tuned into the greater gaming sphere the WOW team is. Leagues in OSRS is one of the most fun experiences I've had playing games. This is because the Dev's said "This is meant to be overpowered and enclosed to this event" In an interview, a dev literally said "This wasn't OP enough to put into the game mode". When i saw MOP remix, I thought that was going to be the experience. Get super strong and just blast. The saving grace for this event is the transmog really. Only reason i want to keep going.
@Zemilia22
@Zemilia22 Ай бұрын
The entire concept of osrs tho is your playing solo especially in leagues where there is no trading and your not forced to group up with people because you get so overpowered that even your average player can easily do difficult "group" bosses solo. Wow does not work the same way at all, your progression is entirely tied to group content even if you do no group content you will eventually hit a wall where if you want to progress you have to do group content. Remix was always labeled as a reliving of the old xpack but with extra powerful effects meaning raids and dungeons are a massive part of that and if people were extremely overpowered come a month in nobody would have cared but when people who abused frogs or other farms go into dungeons and raids they take away almost all of the fun for everyone else in there and instead of it feeling like a raid or dungeon your spectating someone else doing it.

Even worse is the fact that micromanaging a pointless distraction like this actively takes time and resources away from not only the main game itself, but from the upcoming expansions.

The main problem is not even the power alone - the problem is that Blizzard forced people to decide between powering up their gear and buying the cosmetics, mounts etc they want. What they should've done is two separate currencies that people gain simultaneously. And player behaviour didn't help at all either. What happened if the "normal" players tried to get accepted into a normal or heroic raid? They were rejected again and again because way too many people building the raids only wanted the guys that could solo the raids in their group. The most extreme case that happened to me was this: I applied for a normal raid - and got rejected because I don't have 5 million HP.

What annoys me the most about mop remix is the focus they put on gear rather than leveling the cape. The fact the cape isn't cumulative has mostly killed the event. I'm leveling a couple more alts for achievements but plan to quit it soon. What I first heard was an awesome experience to go back through mop and to get powerful by playing in any way a person chooses. It didn't matter if you were leveling in the overworld, running dungeons, running raids, or killing rares. Everything added to the cape and the cape let you become overpowered. Funny how that doesn't work and they set limits on the cape with a push towards just leveling gear. I've enjoyed going back through mop but feel very much lied too in the marketing especially given now that the devs refused to cut the cost of gear upgrades. That makes a good chunk of rewards completely unattainable.

I agree. I largely stopped playing the game when I realized how long it would take to get to that op experience. I log in every day or two and do my dungeon/scenario/raid dailies for the bronze, but once you hit 70 and realize that there's no way to quickly or efficiently grind bronze to get all the high-priced cosmetics, it just becomes such a chore. I wish Blizzard could just let everyone get the rewards fast so that they could spend their time doing things they actually enjoy. For example, all the rewards for Plunderstorm unlock at 100k plunder. I played it until I had about 670-680k plunder because I *loved* that game mode-- but it would've been extremely miserable if you were forced into getting 500k plunder for all rewards even if it was doable.

With all of the nerfs and "fixes", if you can call them that, it is pretty obvious what their intention is with this mode. It is not about fun or giving the players a feeling of being overpowered. It is strictly to keep them subscribed for those 3 months before TWW comes out. This could actually work against them and burn people out just before the new expansion. Nobody wants to do every MoP raid every day for 90 days, I mean come one dude, who the hell thought that was a good idea?

When it first started, I thought it was a lot of fun but Devs every day making it their personal mission to nerf anything except smashing your face into raids and nerfing gems has killed it for me. It’s sad because i was super excited to see the expansion where i started raiding again.

It would have been fun if they just added a quest where Eternus explains that a few rogue agents found portal where billions of frogs were streaming out and needed to be “contained”. She then uses the extra threads and powers you up to roughly the level of the highest frog-farming player. A catch-up with a real-life Easter Egg in the quest text.

13:50 not even just Season 4, Cataclysm, MoP Remix, but for players like myself who enjoy other blizzard games, D4 just like relaunched the entire game .... i'd love to play all of these things but to get what i want from Bronze i feel like i have to play Remix, because i can hard grind Season 4 in a week if i really have to, Cataclysm ... i guess i'll miss it, or catch it when i'm done with Remix. D4? its as big of a time commitment and its also about 3 months .... what a conincidence. i don't have time to do all the things i want

Too funny. Blizzard turned the game into a virtual treadmill, disguised as a game years ago, then got upset with the players, who they turned into a swarm of locusts grinding away on the very same treadmill that Blizzard created, didn't play the game for fun. Blizzard forgot how to make a game fun without a grind fest, and doesn't know how to slow down the locusts who are the only players left running the virtual treadmill.

I thought MOP remix was supposed to be a fun diablo-esque version of MOP where we could spin up a character to god mode and blast for a few weeks. But no, instead it just seems to be a money grab to keep people subbed to the game for an extra 3 months before the new expansion release. Their intention here is very clear - they want you to be playing this for the full 90 days.

That's the so call "genius" of B.Kotick, make a shell of a company to increase it's short term value and destroy it on the long run.

I avoided remix for two reasons: - Let the past die, you cannot go back home - The playerbase will min/max the fun out of the game SOOO FAST. Sure enough, people decided that the best play is to grind the same idiotic frogs on loop. Those that didn't are at a disadvantage as players will expect certain ilvl to get into raids/dungeons and as such it becomes a barrier to entry. Idiotic to the max. The same issue that happened in WotLK (from what I gather) people expecting you to be near BiS Sunwell gear to get into UK. It is idiotic, the playerbase will actively rip the fun out

No body wants to spend three months playing an old game mode. People want to come in for how ever long they want and just blow stuff up and just leave. Blizzard really trying to force people to stay in mop for three whole months. It really needs to be wow if it had no rules. Side note since you mentioned fated: The mechanics they use for gearing in fated... should be base line IN MY OPINION, but this is just another facet of blizzard trying to make you feel obliged to raid every week for gear you need or want until the next patch. Who cares about how many active subs you have when your metric is engagement.

What? I was 100% prepared to play Remix for the whole 3 months. I was looking forward to it. Turns out there won't even be 3 months worth of content here. My gear is already max. I'm banking loads of bronze per day. Chances are I will have every single item bought out by week 5 or so, and I don't even particularly want every single item. If anything it would be nice if the pace were a bit slower.

I'm really not surprised that the playerbase found these methods, if there is a path of least resistance and ample returns, they will find it and use it. The problem is that Blizzard told them they would receive limitless power, they found said limitless power, and Blizzard didn't put a cap on how much power they could gain, which should not have been an afterthought. I have mixed memories of MoP, mostly negative due to the content drought post SoO and (Due to being an Alt-oholic) basically running the same zones so many times in a row burning me out. The fascinating part is that I was watching a group of KZfaqrs run Mogu'Shan Vault, and even though it's been literal years since I ran that content, I could still remember a fair number of the Boss mechanics. Which I don't think I can say for a lot of Raiding content.
