The subject that was wow tbc classic gold the focus of Asmongold in an earlier stream was related with YouTube numbers in World of Warcraft’s past three expansion announcement trailers. Battle for Azeroth’s cinematic trailer was said to have 6.5 million views within seven days. World of Warcraft Classic had 4.7 million, and now Dragonflight is falling short of 2 million. The conclusion is that Dragonflight’s announcement has less buzz surrounding its announcement than World of Warcraft’s past two much-criticized expansions.
Asmongold explains to his viewers what the “truth” is World of Warcraft players are “tired of being swindled.” He claims that players feel they’ve been misled twice before with Battle for Azeroth and World of Warcraft Classic promising important changes and improvements, however, they’re still getting the same type of experience World of Warcraft players are annoyed with. In the end, World of Warcraft players are looking forward to a wait-and-see experience with Dragonflight.
Dragonflight In the eyes of Asmongold as an expansion, is going to have to “earn back the World of Warcraft’splayers.” He believes that this could be a long time-consuming process, given that Dragonflight isn’t going to be the same initial success as previous expansions have enjoyed and it’s going to take time to persuade World of Warcraft players to return. In this regard, Asmongold compares Dragonflight to the Legion expansion which, according to him, took time to bring players back from their disappointments in Warlords of Draenor.
That’s also what Asmongold calls”a “best-case scenario” for Dragonflight. It’s a single possibility that could occur and what Blizzard ought to be trying to do, in Asmongold’s opinion. The least-favorable scenario that isn’t discussed would be that Blizzard does not earn back World of Warcraft’s audience, and Dragonflight remains in a downwards trend in the MMO.
Asmongold has said before that he’s thrilled about Dragonflight following the expansion’s announcement ceremony, but it will be interesting to look into it before making any official statements. To be fair, Asmongold previously said that he was “done” with World of Warcraft prior to Dragonflight’s debut, so his current attitude toward the MMO is a major improvement. Blizzard definitely has its work cut out for itself however.
