Worst MMO Ever? - Adventure Quest 3D

#####

Personal Opinion, Artix games have some of the funniest writing of any game, the comic timing, references and understanding of comedic conventions is masterful, that being said...

the transition to 3d has not been too kind.

Thanks as always to my Patrons and Twitch subs x

Me, who's been an AE fan since middle school hearing all this slander: yea he right

I think they would have struck gold if after yeeting you across the continent, the cultists actually summoned Vane and he yeets you AGAIN, twice as hard.

Adventure Quest Worlds holds a special place in my heart, as the first MMO-adjacent game I ever got into as a kid. It made me love interacting with other players and having non-serious fun with them, but I eventually grew out of it. It makes me sad to see videos like this, but I'm glad I'll always have the good memories at least.

The fact that you named yourself Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven deserves a compliment.
A true "My Immortal" stan.

He is complaining of quest that arent any different than the ones I did in WoW. "Kill 5 wolves", "Kill 5 solders"... you know how many Ogres i killed to get a key for prisoners in Nagrand? I killed all of them... All of them... there are no ogres left in Nagrand.

7:20 okay the villain beating the tar out of you and then throwing you across the map is legitimately super funny

[ProblmSolvd]

"Herp the derp" Fuck me dead, the early 2000s just found me on bebo and penguin of doom'd me in the nose.

You could tell artix probably watched this cuz recently the cursor changed now

One thing though: Artix games can have *deep* storylines. My absolute favourite was The Devourer Saga, where basically everyone in Lore teams up to fight a fantasy Death Star that is also Satan. You had new characters and old, and their relationships. Characters died, betrayed each other, and Th'Galin (the Death Star Satan) actually has a tragic backstory. Yes, you still fight frogzards and have bad puns and all that stuff. The key is the dark stuff needs to contrast the light heartedness. I was already playing AQ for a few years by the time The Devourer Saga started, so the change in tone was shocking in itself.

The same thing with Dragonfable. You spend the majority of the game taking boxes from Smeevils and finding magic socks, and like 10% figuring out your baby dragon is actually the evil one of a pair that will decide the fate of the world. Also the good one was turned into a dracolich named fluffy.

Ouch you missed something HUGE on Brutalcorn: after he dies, a teleport appears where he was standing to let you leave. If you're not directly on that spot, you don't instantly port out, and he'll actually respawn after a minute or whatever, and he does in fact have drops (and an achievement for killing him a bunch of times). You just didn't get anything cause you got booted due to standing on spot the teleporter spawned into. So the problem there is not that there are no drops, the problem is that the teleporter can spawn on top of your character and instantly teleport you out, instead of having say 3 different possible locations and coding to ensure it doesn't spawn on a person... also yeah more fanfare for his demise would be nice.

The Sword in the Stone gets even better, you can use it... as a mace. You get a sword that's stabbed in a chunk of stone and it's classified as a hammer weapon, cos you swing the stone at monsters.

Dragonfable is a game I've replayed at least 5 times through the main stories because of the amount of humor
Take a quest with the paladin artix. You're supposed to sneak into an undead lair disguised as undead. When you are stopped by the gatekeeper for not looking undead, your verbal defense is 'magic' to which the gatekeeper just says "hmm checks out"
This goes on for a while, but at the same time Paladin Artix has his urge to vanquish evil rising constantly, so as soon as you convince the gatemaster to let you in, Artix attacks, blowing your cover
Another example is the book 1 antagonist, Sepulcher, who hatches a dragon opposing your own, turning it into a skeleton and calling it 'Fluffy'
It's perfect storytelling, perfect mix of humor and indeed deep story. I'll revisit it again at some point.

oh this one is gonna hurt, on an objective level this game has a lot of issues and isnt anywhere near completion since its missing whats considered to be very basic mmo elements but its THE game i keep coming back to since the social element/community, simplicity and artstyle really appeal to me

[Bells_and_Whistles]

Brutalcorn drops an item, you were just standing on the exit portal as you defeated him; they shouldn't have put the portal in the center!

[nok]

Unironically the ONLY mmo I've enjoyed so far, it's simple, no boring complex questioned and you can be a necromancer! And the community is not toxic, and very talkative!

[MoonMoverGaming]

Can I just say how perfect it is that the random dungeon finder paired Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven with Holy Satan?

[SweetMontana]

Man Adventure Quest was awesome back in the day! Finding that elemental loadout against the enemies was fun.

I think the idea of a magical transformation into a travel form is better than pulling mounts out of your magic mount pocket

[kylerumer]

Dude you have insane production value and work ethic for a channel of your size. The pace you're releasing videos at is ridiculous for the amount of work put into each one. Keep it up!

[Sweetguy]

I'm amazed adventure quest is still a thing. I would play this game in high-school in 2002 instead of doing school work.
