Hehe...Late comment, but I love Wow warts and all. It has everything and has never been the perfect game. I'm totally a pve collector and had some apprehension about Plunderstirm, but just the fact it was a vast place to run around in, I just ran away in fear all the way to the end and got everything! Got ganked lots, but I EVEN killed a couple peeps myself! I came in 3rd place a few times too by hiding in the bushes! I suck at pvp, but getting ganked just does not have the consequences it did years ago. So just take it and move on. It's ok, and I really ended up loving this mode of play..so thanks, Blizz! Love your channel. Keep up the good work!

Tell me you are a clown that never played DH on high level without telling me that you are a clown who never played it.

Blizzard made with Plunderstorm what IceFrog made with DotA.

I skipped all this content. Before new exp pack, i decided to come back and joined my friends, and all i got is this awakened shitshow i had to go through now. Random mechanics thrown all over the place just to make the fight harder, who the fuck is sarkareth anyway? and why its fight is harder and more complicated than Arthas?

One of the least fun raid bosses ever.

i'm here once again, your videos are amazing, thank you so much...greetings from Bolivia

Perfect and concise thank you!

I like how clear you speak. It allows me to take notes for a quick guide during boss encounters. And with the new patch coming all this is new again lol

with the awakened raid going up soon you should realy make this video private or down cuz it will creat many haters from the missleading strategy dating from the pbe of dragonflight

Saw these guides first for Season 1, now again as a reminder for Season 4 !

I'm starting to think it's the streamers/content creators that's the problem, unsubbed bye.

Some people just don't like battle royale, simple as that.. If PVE'rs aren't happy dev-time was invested in a battle royale mode, using wow assets - that's their right.. All these wow streamers who are fanboy'ing plunderstorm conveniently fail to mention that BR game modes get and retain them more viewers, than if they were streaming late-season m+ grinds or raid re-clears.. So it's a case of streamers wanting more income, and trying to push some goofy wow-themed BR to the community to get it.

Also, wows community, for the most part, is benign. It's the vocal, annoying 5% end game asshats that ruin it for everyone lol. But I gotta say, the CS and LOL communities are 1000% more toxic.

The game has never made me quit the game. Every time i've ever quit wow, it was the players.

The reference to non alcoholic beer is just golden. 10/10

Agreed, my dude. Good rant.

The people who play WOW dont want a battle royal. I have played this game for a really long time both pvping and pveing. A lot of people shit on WoD bc of its content drought. SL and DF literally are WoD with worse pvp (since theres so much pvp unbalance) and literally the same amount of content. At least WoD didnt reuse content weve already grinded this whole xpac and called it "fated." That 9 month drought they stuck us with at the end of WoD lead to Legion, the best xpac weve had in the last 10 years. And THAT is what the people who play WOW want, more story progressing content, balanced pvp and more battle grounds/epic battlegrounds and more dungeons and raids. The community has told blizzard that and they continue to drop the ball. This game would also see a huge influx of new players if they went f2p (i know they wont.) A lot of people shy away from a sub bc why pay for a sub when there are other MMOs that arent as big and have everything they want in a game that has no sub and only microtransactions that they are free to opt in and out of

Best darn guides I tell ya!

More vids like this man

The complaining about season 4 bringing nothing new is getting real old and worn out. That's not the point of the season, but as the title says, the wow community is probably one of the most toxic out there

This was so random.

the WHAT?! after the trans comment has be fucking rolling

I'm sorry, i've been playing wow since day 1. I've done everything in the game to some degree. And plunderstorm is a piece of shit. I can't figure out all the big name PVE ppl acting like this is a good game mode. It's so awful. I love retail right now. I play the hell out of M+ and think the raids have been amazing in DF. But plunderstorm is a PILE OF SHIT. It's just not a good game at all.

Here is the issue - the expectation set beforehand and the communication at launch by Blizzard has been terrible. No one was expecting a "new game", they were expecting WoW content. We were sold as new WoW content. You have a large player base waiting for WoW content that just got non-WoW content. Fundamentally, that is the problem. That is their failure on Plunderstorm. It is not about PVE people complaining. PVE people do not PVP because they do not enjoy PVP. Don't try to sell any aspect of this as PVE or WoW content. Blizzard could have had a huge win by better setting expectations beforehand (could have still been a secret), while offering a greater PVE component that also encouraged people to eventually try PVP (maybe for the top rewards, rather than all the rewards). As I have said, if people really enjoy Plunderstorm - great for them. Enjoy the game. I was looking for WoW content. That does not mean I am looking for Wow to fail.

They also need to add another leg of class tuning and make raid, dungeons and arenas/bgs separate.

The problem with the crossover is you have to play an insane amount in Plunderstorm compared to how little you had to in the Hearthstone ones to get the goods in WoW proper. It’s a fine game, but it isn’t WoW and not what a majority of the community wanted out of it.

Do you need to do anything special to make a controller work? I’m a lefty gamer and WASD + PVP doesn’t work for me.

its Addiction nothing else.. try to mask it however u like but its just that. 13:50

Man, you hit the nail on the head with this video. I especially love when you called out the people playing 40+ hours who still complain about how the game is so-called dogshit. Stop playing if you hate it so much...

If you like battle royale games like fortnite, apex legends, etc, AND you like pirates, then Plunderstorm is the game for you! Reason for the toxicity: 1) Blizzard announced it was a new feature, based on community feedback (confusing because no one that I can find on the forums or otherwise actually asked for it), announced it was coming for over a month, but kept the details secret, and that was for "all players." This, we would find out, meant it was just for subscribers (classic, retail, SoD, Hardcore) which it is available and accessible to all players both PVP and PVE... technically. 2) It's not PVE, there is a singular quest you can get when you land for some small amount of plunder. 3) It's not PVP, you have none of your skills/talents, or even class. You are given a basic non-class character with a basic attack and a basic self-heal. 4) The players it DID attract were your typical Battle Royale types who would kill you when you landed or kill you when you were trying to fight an elite, etc, so level 1 characters who landed were ganked by others and this lead many players who just wanted to gather the plunder (the intention of the game, right?) to resent those other players. 5) Then they tied amazing looking rewards to a "grind-y" slog-fest of landing, gather plunder, die, restart. (For all rewards, 97500 plunder was needed and if you landed but were killed quickly, you ended up with 0-50 plunder / reputation, making quick deaths time consuming because it would take 3-4 minutes to be into the next match.) 6) Because the game is purely based on chance, you don't know what spells you will get, or items you'll obtain, and many died trying to get different spells from chests or elite mobs, leading many to hate the game play, the other players, and the repetitive nature. These reasons were why it didn't work for WoW. It may work for other BR games that people play, but I personally didn't understand why the devs brought this game mode to players who do not generally play this type of game. At least according to the forums... where it was a shit-show, obviously. Have a great day, and thanks for reading. See you in Azeroth.

Plunderstorm is what it is and it's not for me. If anyone likes it, more power to ya. you do you, boo.

The worst thing about Wow is the player base period. Bunch of whiny neckbeards

I get the overall point and yet you make a video that is about how to leave something alone, or content creators should be promoting it. We should really ask how much Blizz paid you to promote it. That's right folks we can all make conspiracy theories

Don't add stuff that clearly isn't meant to be part of the game. They could have easily had made this a queued mode in pvp, like a brawl, using your character model and mog. They did not. They put it outside of the game, but requiring a sub. I am fine with PvPers getting something, but this is not a patch as it is not part of the game itself. We are being guinea pigs for something new like hearthstone or rumble.

Microsoft is running the show now. This will be free to play with micro transactions for skins 100%.

I deleted my Blizzard and Activision Account completely a few years ago, after almost 20 years of playing. I never did regret it.

Plunderstorm is NOT WoW. It is another game built on the WoW gaming engine using WoW assets (like building a game on Unreal or Unity using the assets from their stores). Plunderstorm is something I will never personally enjoy (I have played about 60 games, and have found 0 seconds of enjoyment in the game, but really really want the transmog bad), but man am I glad Blizz released something a lot of people will enjoy. That said, I am really pissed off at Blizz for locking WoW transmog behind investing time in another game........ It should have been something like "play 5 games and unlock the transmog". That gets people to play without this absolutely awful hateful grind (for people like me). As it is, it is just blatant disrespect due to the grind requirement.

I feel confused because I hate blizzard and agree with everything you said lol

Plunderstorm is fun for about 5 minutes, then it's just a boring as F reward grind. There's no incentive to try and win. Gaining rep is far quicker by just getting to level 5 -7, doing the world quest and then running into the storm to die. Rinse and repeat.

The only thing that pissed me off was the devs saying you don't have to pvp in order to max renown. Yeah, _technically_ he was correct, but not the way a lot of people like myself though. Blizz just wanted to see the hilarity of forcing pvp'ers and pve'ers into the same content. Same as they did with some of the requirements for the "Long Strange Trip" achievement where you had to recover flags in Warsong with your orphan out. It was literally the last thing I needed to do for so long. Then the lobby is kind of a weird place. I feel like we should be able to go into the lobby and hang out as long as we want so we can properly familiarize ourselves with the abilities and actually look at our renown and _then_ que for a battle when we're ready. As with all the content that Blizz has put out over the decades, some will love it, some will hate it, some couldn't care less either way.

Not sure how you feel PvE players would enjoy this. I agree with all your points except that. Plunderstorm IS PVP with a little PvE mixed in. Then you’re bashing people for loving the game and still enjoy it but see Blizzard making bad decisions to make it ever so slightly worse? GTFOH. You think too highly of yourself to discredit others opinions.

Can we stop with the overly generalized view of "gaming community is X"? It's not the community that is bad or toxic, it's a very vocal, but small, minority that picks up their internet megaphones and shouts out doom & gloom.

gaming is addictive, who knew?

As a Fortnite enjoyer, Plunderstorm is boring trash.

Dude it is not wow it is a wow skin for Fortnite an PubG minded players. Collect X plunder and killl X NPCs while not getting ganked is not the same as RAID or a dungeon. I find this more likely to be an experiment on a mobile/console spinoff that they have been dying to have in their stable.
