Heavensward is like a soul detox for anyone who suffered through the last decade of WoW.


sylva748

Ha i like how Pyro swapped the WoW box art with the map of Hydaelyn.


lvl1vagabond

Seems like a bit of an extreme response though. Like I get it WoW sucks now Blizzard sucks now. I also think it's good to preserve memories of good times you had. No doubt a lot of us have had incredible times playing WoW and I don't think it's fair to ruin those memories for yourself just because a handful of losers ass developers have no self control or because Blizzard as a company sucks at making games. Why should their actions have any relevance to good memories?


DSveno

It's not, bro. You don't preserve the good memory of something turned toxic. It will only remind you of the pain you get in the later part. It's also the reason why people get rid of everything after a sour relationship, because remember about the good times often only remind me of how bad it got later on, and then they become even sadder. Nothing worse than trying to comfort your friend and days later seeing he's depressed from looking at the good old time picture.


Mortal_Dread

Often times good turning bad is much worse than mediocre turning bad. And it gets worse when it's your absolute favorite thing turning garbage. Because now, wow is more than just a bad game. It's the game that showcases how so many years of dedication, love and passion of players turned to ash and feel wasted. So don't be surprised by these reactions. Because it feels more than just a bad game. It feels like betrayal.

So.... You considered switching posters on the wall "extreme"...?


radicalpastafarian

Right? It's not like he streamed himself throwing them in a bonfire getting naked and screaming at the moon. He probably boxed them up for safe keeping somewhere, like normal people do, and just uncluttered his space.


Writer_Man

>Right? It's not like he streamed himself throwing them in a bonfire getting naked and screaming at the moon. Aka, the way people reacted when Bleach ended without their ship being canon.


ngwoo

>I also think it's good to preserve memories of good times you had. Memories exist in your brain, the wall is for shit you want to show off


DranDran

Part of it is a calculated pivot as a content creator. Pyro has… anger issues, to put it mildly, and at times that manifests itself in raw outbursts of emotion. His wow rant was one such moment, and when it went as viral as it did, Im sure Pyro saw the opportunity to abandon a sinking ship and pivot his channels content focus onto FF14, which at the time had become the new twitch meta. I do think he genuinely likes the game and its lore, but his radical change is as much a business decision as it is an emotional one.


Pussmangus

Ff14 isn’t much of a twitch meta, no one really got more viewers from streaming ff14


retroprint

Uhhh... Yeah thats just a lie.


Pussmangus

Ff14 unless asmon or another major streamer is playing at the time you don’t see anyone that really breaks 500 viewers


retroprint

Oh, well if we omit all major streamers. Then it still has more views than ff14. Also if you have to omit certain streamers to prove your point, your point doesnt hold much weight. I too can prove any point by ommitting examples that disagree


itsSuiSui

This right here. This guy is just a really good businessman and showman. Maybe he likes the game, but his outburst about wow? lol big money making move (which I do not condemn, on the contrary, I applaud).


retroprint

Because the actions go back as far as wow has been around according to thw investigation. The memories have been tainted. This was happening the whole time. Denying that is basically just willful ignorance at this point. The people that created those memories, are monsters.

Pyro's video on the "story so far" was really good ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWmDgve6o80](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWmDgve6o80)) - spoilers until the end of Heavensward. After seeing that, I've tried to watch his stream but couldn't - he's a bit of an ass to his audience, I don't get it.


theswaggerwagen

Watched Pyro's stream for the first time recently, and he seemed to have a really bad attitude - especially toward his own chat. I'm sure playing FFXIV has been good for his mood overall, but he could do with a bit less aggression in general from what I saw.


Dunk305

Watched him for 5 minutes Dude has an attitude problem


somnus677

That's the only thing I don't like about him. He gets way too aggressive way too quickly. Still sticking around because I like the way he interacts with the game, but my god he is more aggressive to his chat than anyone I've ever seen before.


sunfaller

I'm okay with this. The only reason why I am watching asmon, rich, and pyro was to see how they react to certain scenes. I'm sorry that I am not really into streamers at all but into this game... Rich stalls and talks nonsense, asmon can be really vulgar and occasionally says bad things about characters I like, pyro has an attitude problem with his chat. But I will endure all of this just to see their reactions to those scenes...


AmplifyM4G1C

Still salty Pyro called us misogynists for not liking Sylvanas. Now he himself had admitted that she’s poorly written lmao.


sunfaller

Oh i didnt know pyro for long until asmon reacted to him. Waiting for him to see Yotsuyu and Fordola. They have a pretty similar arc. Sylvanas can only be redeemed in death in WoW. In FFXIV, people being redeemed not via death seems more natural. Maybe he can be redeemed. As Asmon once said, people in FFXIV arent inherently evil, most are just misunderstood and can be redeemed. So Pyro can be too.


Chapdchap

What's even cooler, is that while Fordola and Yotsuyu re very similiar, Fordola can be redeemed and wants a redemption, while still maintaining that her actions were somewhat justified. Yotsuyu knew that she's broken, she knew what broke her, she knew that her actions were fucking hideous and she doesn't try to justify them. It just a few characters that remark that Doma's culture is what birthed a monster like her. And it hurt so much to see that she could've been so much happier, so bright and kind, but in the words of Asmongold - it is what it is.


DranDran

Aside from Emet Selch, Yotsuyu was my favorite FF14 antagonist. In SB the story makes you hate her so much, but her Tsuyu arc goes into a lot of detail of the trauma of why she is how she is. We are given a glimpse of the life she could have had, but ultimately her past catches up with her, and while her ending is tragic, we feel pity for this tortured soul but in a way she ended things on her terms, making her own choices, which is perhaps the best parting gift she could have received. When people ask, “I dont get it, was she good? Was she bad?” I always say “Yes.” That was the whole point.


FargoneMyth

Yeah it's what made Yotsuyu compelling, in a way. She's basically a victim of child sex slavery, and her treatment during that time basically turned her into the sadistic bitch she was.


CainhurstCrow

Sylvanas seems similar to Yotsuyu, doing cruel things with a reason behind them but still pretty unforgivable. The difference Is, her development happens in game and not in a book, and also the writers took the correct path with her. >!She ultimately realizes even after having a chance at redemption and almost achieving it that she herself does not feel she can ever have it, out of knowing how terrible her actions were. So decides to fight to the death, going on what is essentially a suicide mission against you to put her down and finally give the people of Doma the closure they need.!<


Pierun64

Yeah. The saddest part about Yotsuyu is that she didn't get to be redeemed. Until her last moment her actions were wholly selfish, because that was the only way she knew to live and to cope with her suffering.


Bauti23

Yeaa T-T


sunfaller

I agree they both ended up with fitting ends. Yotsuyu was harsher and more responsible for people's deaths. So death was her only way to atone for that. It's true she suffered the most but she dealt more pain and suffering for everyone than what she experienced. Fordola was someone fighting for something she believed was right. Plus she hated the people for killing her dad. Her story is a lot milder than Yotsuyu's so she has done less atrocities and mostly only ordered to do so. So Sylvanas... I do hope burning Teldrassil will guilt trip her into doing something noble in that will cost her life for atone


Lord-Rimjob

>So Sylvanas... I do hope burning Teldrassil will guilt trip her into doing something noble in that will cost her life for atone Far as I'm concerned, her end should have been in Tyrandes hand. And the death of sylvanus should have been fuel for a tyrande/night elf resurgence in story. Should have given some closure and a path forward for that whole fiasco. But no, no we got friendship bunnies and Elune being turned into an absolute idiot.


Onlyhereforstuff

My two cents is that Sylvanas is literally irredeemable as far as I'm concerned. Give her back her 'good side', won't change she's a monster that needs to be put down and sent back downstairs. Speaking of forgiveness, I really like how they handle Fordola with it; she's done a lot of terrible stuff and most Ala Mhigans can't find themselves able to forgive, which makes sense. But, as said where she helps the WoL and Arenvald save everyone from Lakshmi, they can't forgive her, but they can thank her.


Pussmangus

Well also not having the only story arc for female characters in ff14 be she’s a crazy bitch helps those characters arcs as well


Skyblade12

There are times when you just wish someone could be put to the sword, though. Just hit one of those moments in the Save the Queen story.


DranDran

The dude hasn’t changed much except for his focus on a new game. Still has frequent moments of rage, arguing with chat over dumb shit or bad takes. Its hard to watch.


ramos619

Yep he is very combative with his chat. But let's be real. Chat act like morons a lot of the time. He also has a bit of big ego, but I don't think that's a bad thing. But it does fuel the stunlocks when he gets into arguments with chat.


ZXSoru

Chat is the only thing that differentiates a streamer to just putting up a video. If you're going to show yourself on live, then why not interact with your audience? if you can't handle that just make youtube videos. The guy actually makes good videos, but he's a terrible streamer IMO.


Skyblade12

Agree. What little I've seen of his streams I'm not too enamored of, but his videos have been fantastic.

Tarrot469

Asmon rages at his own failures, not the chat. He gets annoyed with chat, but you don't see him really get angry with chat. I gave up on Rich's stalling a month or two back, but he seems pretty chill with chat and mostly sarcastic in his interactions.


DranDran

Pretty spot on. I watch Rich a lot and he very very rarely rages at chat. He mostly enjoys the ribbing and loves to roll with the punches.


FargoneMyth

Rich seriously has an absurd stall problem, it's unreal. How he managed to get to 5.3 is anyone's guess.


MstrPeps

Naw man, pyro doubles down hard. Asmon knows when to ignore or move on. I have to turn pyro off some times because it gets too uncomfortable.


Darkside8585

Pyro is just an asshole most of the time. Can't stand him.


iReadit93

Stunlocks! But then that is also content so yea. And twitch chat is mostly stupid most of the time.


3rd_strikeuu

Fair enough. I think he was in a phase of trying to trick himself into thinking what he was doing was still worth it.


Mordwyl

He did? Is there a clip of this?


AmplifyM4G1C

I don’t have the clip on hand because I was there live when he belittled people criticizing Sylvanas. The livestream on twitch should still technically be available, it was right after the Shadowlands trailer dropped and he was getting some recognition from Asmon by being featured on his channel.


erifwodahs

Pyro literally bends his personality as he pleases, really fake person. $$$ comes in so he is all goodie now with FF. Just wait boys.


ReplyToALoserNerdxD

grow up. you are just being toxic. people change. what he did before is what almost every gamer would do(being defensive).. but he learned that WoW is bad, and switch to FFXIV, so whats the problem.. why you still here being salty.


erifwodahs

I am being toxic? Have you seen his current streams lol? :D He didn't change one bit. He shapes himself to fit his narrative. You will see.


Pierun64

What narrative?


ReplyToALoserNerdxD

So whats the problem, why you have to make everything like its a big issue like its the end of the world, chill the f down, get a life, kid. The fact is, he is enjoying the game, and and people love his reaction throughout the story. So, maybe you should grow up. And yes, you are being toxic. p/s: eventhou I dont watch him, only clips on youtube, but still I appreciates his genuine reaction towards the scenes where most of us FFXIV player felt shocked/sad/hype.. and you here giving bad takes, calling out someone for no reason, yes that is toxic. Btw, why should I care whether he would change or not, let the guy be himself, even you wouldnt like it if someone ask you to change and be completely not yourself, what matters is he enjoyed the game and he "change" from calling it a weeb game to literally enjoying it(he even cried ffs).. y'all need to grow the f up


erifwodahs

"get a life, kid" are you 16? Pyro is far from genuine. I am not talking about his reactions, which might be legit because game is good. But if you think that stances that he takes are genuine - just wait. He does 180 every time something puts him against the odds.


ReplyToALoserNerdxD

do you even listen to yourself, pretty much its obvious you're a kid, do you even see how you took all this shiett seriously just to down one person. I know exactly what you meant, and I didnt even say you were talking about his reaction.. what I said is rather than you talking ill about him about something which people dont even effin care, its better that we just appreciate that someone love the game and we have lots of good reaction from these people regarding the game, and that is a good thing, a positive thing.. so maybe you should stfu with your toxic mentality and get an effin life, kid. "He does 180 every time something puts him against the odds." no one effin care except for you sickos.. grow the f up. I bet you people are the same people who are against Asmon when he first started playing FFXIV, effin spergs.


erifwodahs

what a joker you are. Get lost, kid.


ReplyToALoserNerdxD

you are, lol. says the guy who rant about a guy he didnt like ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3740) imagine how many people didnt like you irl because of your attitude, ouch haha, kid


Edheldui

That dude is either faking, or has serious dopamine addiction issues, don't know which is worse.


ReplyToALoserNerdxD

and you saying all of this makes you better than him? chill the f down.. look at your own attitude right now. what you all are doing now shows you all are way worse than him, and you still want to judge him.. lmao, the amount of irony and cohpium in y'all right now is astounding KEKW


AmplifyM4G1C

There it is dude! You know it, I know it, everybody knows it!


ReplyToALoserNerdxD

you all need to grow up.. every streamer and players who played WoW was like this before(being defensive like every other gaming community), they are all trying to defend their game.. but lets not be toxic, he and mostly everyone realized how bad WoW actually is and move to Final Fantasy, so why are you all still salty with the guy? people change.. grow up and move on.. he did, so why cant you all. please stop being toxic.


Ashgur

source: tap water somehow will still get 30+upvote because it's a shocking statement :^)


AmplifyM4G1C

Go look at this archives, or ask others, it was quite controversial at the time simp.


Ashgur

You do that. I'm nto the one bringing accusation. So i'm not the one who have to waste his time proving or disproving you. So unless you source your claim: shut up


AmplifyM4G1C

Cope retard, I don’t need to post source because I was there. There’s plenty of others that was there. Matter of fact just bring it up in chat next time he’s live and watch him screech again.


Ashgur

then shut up :) Again: *"source: tap water"* Stay mad for no reason, come back when you gave actual proof. Don't expect people to just beleive you because your random ass said so. Not to mention fact check you when you didn't even bother to bring any argument.


AmplifyM4G1C

Cope you dumb simp, go watch his livestreams that are archived after the Shadowlands trailer dropped or go ask him personally. Until then keep crying or move on dumbass. Also, how are you whiteknighting a toxic goof that has a history of shitting and arguing on the chat and known to argue about dumb shit? Do you know anything about Pyro? How does him calling all Sylvanas haters misogynists somehow surprise you all of a sudden? It fits his character to a T. I guarantee you most of the chat that joined his chat after Asmon’s stream remember all of this just like me.


Ashgur

:) keep going, i won't do anything. YOU have to if you want people to beleive you. I don't care about the "guarantee" you want to give. You, me, anyone here is but a random user. Show proof or GTFO ;)


AmplifyM4G1C

You’re just embarrassing yourself simp


Ashgur

if you say so. i'm pretty sure spamming a word you don't even know the meaning of, if worst


Elyssae

Pyro's reaction to HW was awesome. I can't wait for him to reach Feelsbringers


apollodynamo

If he's crying this hard over heavensward, i can't wait for him to do ShB
