As a CC he's always struck me as someone who has "smartest person in the room syndrome" and from interactions I've had with other people in the know behind the scenes, I know this to be true. Some of your best work here, I had the popcorn ready for this one, lol.
Oh, didn't knew all that. Good to know Plarium choose to exchange someones frustration to be a community frustation. And now the game it's been punished 🤨
Let’s all just be honest with each other. End game is beating a dead horse now. Top C.C’s are just recycling content. This new clan boss is dead on arrival because we all know WHEN because it’s not a IF the players theory craft teams that destroy it. Plarium will swoop in and do plarium things. Godforge will not be a Raid killer. Just like WOR and King Arthur are not. The only way forward is to go back reimplement all the last years negative changes and let us players just go to town. Plarium has taken the dream out of the game. Most of us know we will never hit those numbers that the Krakens will. But when we hit an PR that adds millions or hundreds of millions to our runs. It makes us dream that we can… and we are HAPPY. That’s gone now.
Now we wait for the big plot twist. Something like Sam and Saph being actually close friends, trolling the community. This drama is worth of mexican telenovelas.
Saph takes pride in the fact that a million-dollar corporation uses his suggestions. That’s quite a flex. At 10:23 , you can see he’s proud of it. Honestly, I can’t blame him. This is a game, and its purpose is enjoyment. If he finds joy in contributing this way, then so be it. Anyone is free to upload videos about how they think the game should work-in fact, most content creators do. and it's also fair for CCs like you to call them out.
Objectively, Hydra is less fun (and competitive now). Outside of that, it's not even a context issue.... Saph seems to be a person who values balance over fun. Which time and time again has been an achilles heel that developers struggle to understand. Often making a game worse in the process. Gacha games always have pulls/heroes/champs/leggos that are rare and help trivialize content. The genre is not balanced. That's WHY people spend. But in that system there has to be options for other non-spenders to participate or its a dead game. Every recent hydra change has made it harder to compete from a casual and non elite level and creativity has dissapeared. Someone once told me Saph is working on HHs new game, Godforge. If he is involved, i have serious doubts about its longevity.
One problem I never got with a self promoted expert on raid mechanics like Saph, is the issue that he want to look smart so hard and get noticed by plarium, that is at the detriment of his own audience. The opposite is for example with Kryusen who is such a nice guy that shows people his own builds, but never wants to show off or scold the people who watch him. Mam with or without Ai generated voice, I can say nothing but Bravooo!!! (👏👏👏👏) bravooo!!
Platrium has proven their failure to fix things, it is the final blow that they will regret their ill-considered action. The problem is that the game has stolen a lot of time, effort and money from many professional players and now this game is no longer as entertaining as it was before.
Just found your channel,,, and i love it ,, Very funny, entertaining, enjoyable and most of all,,,love the way you edited ur video Please do more video
At the end of the day, we all just want a fun game. With how much ppl have spent on Trunda, I don’t think she can be nerfed otherwise too many would quit. Saph seemed to have forgotten that we play games for FUN. I rly hope he learnt his lesson and adjusts how he looks at game balance. I still want him to cover Raid cause he brings the objective view of the game. But he probably needs to tone it down and making the game “work as intended”. It’s intended to be fun, not hyper balanced.
100%. I'm aware Saph makes useful content for people, but he blurs the line between things that are broken in the literal sense, and things that are broken in the powerful sense. That allows him to call for things to be nerfed without actually saying the word nerf.. because he can say everything needs fixing, and Plarium fix things that are broken.
Oh man, as this was playing, all I could think about is if you did some kind of overlay with Eazy-E's old school song "Real Muthaphukin G's", and at the beginning, instead of the "compton, compton, compton" You used Context, context, context, and make it Real muthaphukin CC's LOL 🤣
blaming spenders was kinda stupid in my opinion, and hydra was never meant for weak players so it shouldn't have been brought to their standards, raid should start doing surveys if they want to nerf or change anything in the game instead of listening to entitled sh*ts
For me it's the lack of accountability he takes for being the figurehead of unlikeable, dogshit changes which end up not going the way he thinks they will. Masterclass as always Sam; best somebody holds him to his words if he can't.
Sure, looking for a bug in the game, monitor the hh gaming channel. Finding creative ways to make the game better, plarium needs to expand their net to other CCs who are more in touch with their player base - pvp to pve.
100%.. it's something Plarium have always done. I have a half edited video going over previous updates, when Plarium went directly to HH and Murder Inc, etc. It's annoying they don't listen to the community as a whole, because the "biggest" CC don't have the smartest audience.
Dude had the audacity to say Nais is bad . Meanwhile every Top Arena players laughing at him saying wtf you on about . Nais is one of the best if not the best Arena champs out there .
So he's the reason many people quit raid, because of these changes. Nice. Why would anyone watch him, I don't understand. And why is he playing if he hates everything "broken" in game???
While not directly responsible for the changes, he's made countless videos b***hing about everything, and for whatever reason, Plarium listen to him. Regardless if he's an influence, the guy needs to learn to stfu.
CONNNNTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXT!!!!!!! AUTISTIC MATH!!!!! SAME CAME WITH THE RECEIPTS!!!! Hydra is what disenchanted me from Raid. I probably have like 1 or 2 more videos in me that I would admittedly feel forced to make. With Hydra ruined I just can’t even let myself be “addicted” to Raid anymore. “LARPing as a dev” had me rolling. 😂
@@SamSolstice69 Eh, we will see, but honestly, seeing how some other game developers respect and listen to their community makes me realize how shitty of a relationship I have been in with Raid. I am looking to start playing other games like POE2
@@mrburritoslayer A lot of us are on the same boat. As in... wanting to leave this shitty relationship and kind of waiting and hoping that it will eventually fade away or something else come along to yank us away from Plarium's grip. Best wishes man, don't look back!
I see the truth somewhere in the middle - Wix was a way to catch up to Trunda abusers. It was fun! I agree in more regards than not that the high numbers we see were bug, and the path of least resistance was to fix trunda to be more in line with the rest of the teams. Issue still persists. The issue is that hydra was fudged by Plarium, not only because of Saph.
Hydra was fine. Clash was poorly implemented. And like @yobtae said.. highlighting things Saph said or asked for, isn't claiming he's to blame for everything. Plarium are the ones that did this, I'm simply holding a mirror up to the ones influencing them.
Alot of this video highlights...at least for me, why when the hydra changes were made and everyone was screaming for Godforge so they can not play raid made zero sense. If nerfs and the hydra changes were what sets people off...how is going to the game ran by people that either supports nerfs(hellhades and Saph) or come up with ideas that suck and this case suggest one of THEE changes(saph and Serps buff) that triggers you in the first place the answer? Like being mad that where you live is freezing cold so you move to Alaska. Lol. Great content, Sam!!
@@Khaavrenbbb. While that's true...he has said numerous times he supports changes. So again...if nerfs trigger you to say fvck plarium!... how can you think that Godforge isnt gonna have the same issues...guess what? Its going to...bet on it, bro
@@realtree.j I hope there are people at godforge who can rein him in. They do want to succeed. If this series by @sam does anything, I think they will at least scrutinize his contributions more closely .
@@Khaavrenbbb think the fact that you used the word hope says it all...especially to my initial point that Godforge will face the same issues because alot of the changes WILL BE made by the same people that have directly influenced the game that people are mad at in the first place. Lol. I hope they succeed and im sure they want to...but anything other than seeing something for what it is seems foolish. Godforge is gonna nerf things, have game mode changes that will trigger you and most importantly...want to make money. Decisions arent gonna be made that make you and i happy...its gonna be what lines pockets.
Saph is insufferable. This game gets more and more boring as the days go on, and it seems like Saph and plarium can NEVER make up their minds when it comes to changes to the game, and seem to forget what the word "POSITIVE" means 😂. Love the content, keep up the great work! Also i wouldn't put it past saph to block/ban someone who disagrees with him on every social platform possible, he seems like he's that kind of person 😂.
Saph is a brilliant strategists in game and good at helping people but he is not in touch with the community some things dont need fixing they are fun and u can choose not to engage with them if they bother u
I argue that Saph is a good strategist. He's not - he's just good at understanding code and programming logic, but in terms of theory crafting, I have yet to see anything original from him that has shown him to be big brained. LMK if I got this wrong or if he came up with any actually helpful strategy (see Bronko) for the community.
😂😂😂 Ok i think get whats happened now. Thanks for the context. Basically theres a guy like saph at plarium is the assumption and he gets insight from saph most likey because they have similar thought process being so analytical and history of communications. Which is a good thing in some areas im sure. On something like major champion and hyrdra reblances he missed the mark. Now saph is acting like he is being bullied instead of being able to take the actual criticism or have a conversation where he takes any responsibility when clearly he has pushed this change and felt strongly about it. Now you sam are just personally effected and have the platform to apply criticism. Love your vids.
Closer to 11min but I forgive you. Hey, if you want videos that are two or three times as long, just as "useless", from someone with 164x my audience, and on a daily or twice daily.. you can always go watch Cocomelon. You seem like the type that would enjoy his content.
@@SamSolstice69 Its the exact same as raid but has more content. that you can't play because you have no energy or silver. the packs cost more, and theres tons of em. the prices are ridiculous. the popups when you collect things are annoying. and the energy is 5 minutes regen. not 3 like raid, which means you never have a full energy refil when you wake up. i'm still enjoying it though. join Cobrakai. when you are in lol, we have 6 raid players. more coming on the 27th november on release day.
I started disliking that guy when auto battle for clan boss was introduced, he said it will take out enjoyment out of the game and he will wouldn't use it, it made me laugh and then I proceded to block his channel to appear on my feed and I have been a little bit happier since xD
Oh, he brings up CB still to this day. He's living in 2020 and wants everyone to struggle. When he was going after Cadaver in Hydra he mentioned hating how people can get billions in Demon Lord. Such a self absorbed, an anti-fun CC.
I can only imagine how awful GodForge is going to be , I have a feeling that it wont make it out of BETA ,HellHades channel and his comrades sure trying to ruin the RAID recently
Yeah I jumped ship after he got wixwell nerfed, I stopped watching all his vids and live streams, it seems more like as soon as the average player base starts competing with pay to win players it becomes a problem to look at changes, these guys had no problem with trunda until, madman, corpulent cadaver, wixwell etc it’s annoying to see this happening time and time again 😒
Sam, you gotta stop holding back and tell us how you really feel! 😜 Regardless of topic I love the no bullshit approach from you, I have never seen you not call it like you see it or say your say unfiltered for the most part.
To be fair, I probs should rein it in maybe 20% - 30% and re-enable my profanity filter haha.. but Saph has been baiting me out for a while so I had to.
Saph has always rubbed me the wrong way. Finally.....a channel thats not afraid to call out other CC's when they are full of 💩!!! JGigs is fine concerning criticism of Plarium itself, BUT i've been missing CC's not being called out since Stew Gaming (way back in the day) giving ASH hell on the regular. Lol, I miss him calling ASH's "O" face (in his stupid thumbnails) his "ASH hole" 😂🤣 Give em hell luv!!! PS: 2nd video i've watched from you, I am NOT disappointed. Keep being blatantly unapologetic. I enjoy every minute of you pointing out Saph's "whiney little b!tch" attitude/persona that he desperately needs to do something about. You friggen rock!!! PSS: Had to edit and self censor (I loathe it, YT deleted my original comment) because UA-cam sucks almost as much as RAID. Hopefully this one is namby-pamby enough that they won't delete it.
4:05 that's dirty....................and HILARIOUS. I've had my share of run-ins with Saph on Reddit, particularly on a discussion about Gnut's max HP hit, which is the stupidest thing I'd heard. Saying it's terrible game design because it makes bosses irrelevant as if you could just throw the character on a team with nothing and he'd just destroy them. Then if you go and look at all of his dungeon teams, they're ALL speed teams that delete bosses in seconds. He's a hypocrite in that sense. It's fine if the hit comes from a burn exploder or someone like Whisper, but if it's max HP like a Gnut, it's somehow a problem and he doesn't like it.
Saph has a small brain. Good players show him what's good and he points at that thing and calls it "broken". Then makes videos talking about how to "fix" it for 6 month. Then he gets angry he isn't getting his way and makes videos demanding it to be fixed. Basically Andy Dufresne but instead of writing 2 letters per-month, he's writing 14 letters per-week.
This is hilarious. I was watching his live stream one night, shortly after they nerfed Godseeker solo Amius strat, and he was arguing with his own chat about how it was a good thing because strats that ignore boss mechanics are bad for the game...while he was trying to "one shot" Amius with dual Whispers, thus ignoring all boss mechanics. Just can't make this shit up. I have no ill-will towards the dude. My take is that he gets out in front of his skis. He says A LOT without pulling thoughts all the way through, then when the outcome is different than his assumption he walks it back like he knew it was gonna happen every time. Watch him play live arena, it is hilarious and a little sad but a good microcosm of wildly definitive assumptions that play out differently in reality.
Well I watched his video, and my impression is that he played the victim card (again) because is not the first time that a major part of the community blames him for ruining people's fun. I do not have any issues with suggesting changes, the problem is when an individual believes that his thinking must be taken into account no matter what, and keeps making noise until getting his way. I got out of Reddit because I had a few runs with his manners in the raid sub, whenever you don't agree with his point the best you can get is disdain, and the worst, well there's plenty stories to pick. The point is that he's in a position to influence raid devs because his mod/cc status gives him more ways to get heard than the majority of us commoners, and knowing that he abuses that power to his own advantage, which mislead plarium into believing that he talk for a vast majority of players. Even HH himself has been away (on some event for his game it seem) and disconnected more a more from the game since all the hydra changes took place. I can admit that changes need to be implemented some times, but ruining all the fun for everyone and then get pissed off when all the heat come to your way because the audience has seen your videos and correlate those changes to your content, but then deny the obvious evidence?, sorry but no, he made the bed, now he must sleep on it.
Lot of hate here but where are the proposals? Saph is no god who decides what Plarium does and does not. Hydra was broken and he had suggestions on how fix it. Some of the proposals were bad and some good as in any problem solving. Thre is no need to make this personal.
I still haven't watched this video and went straight to the comment section, lol. I agree Saph is no god and Plarium is the ultimate decision maker. But no, Hydra wasn't broken. You speak of this as an absolute truth like everybody is in agreement. Saph does the same thing. There are other opinions out there, and this particular opinion certainly does not represent the entire community. I'm not trying to be personal or start hate, but I do want him to understand this point. Personally I speculate that majority of the community were fine with Hydra.
@@yobytae. I was under the impression that Trunda made the Hydra clash broken. I have played for a long time ad I am in a top 100 clan. I have loads of void leggos but never pulled Trunda. For me the Hydra was broken as I never could compete. That said, my oppinion matters just as much (or rather as little) as everyone elses. No hate from me and as we are dealing with pixels on a screen, things should not get personal.
@@Benzefal I get it, but that was a problem for only like 0.1% of all the clans. Also, it's clash, not Hydra in general. Meaning they could have done something about the reward system in clash or even removed clash entirely rather than mess with the actual mechanics, basically by following Saph's logic and reasoning. I'm not sure where to draw the line in terms of what's considered "personal". I support Sam's videos, I want to get it across to Saph that he does not represent the entire community, many people do not agree with his suggestions. Yes, Plarium didn't do exactly as he suggested (although heavily influenced), but even if they did many would have disagreed with it anyway. But I will say this isn't meant as an attack (at least not from me), he shouldn't take it to heart, he should still voice his opinions. Just don't be so dang arrogant about it.
There are a lot of people attacking Wizard D for his video about this and Ash. it's a shame that many who watch this can't pop over to his channel and give him some support as he has been flamed for literally saying the same thing.
As they should because it wasn't just a video about Ash. Wizard made a video being sexist, bitching and moaning that a couple new content creators who happen to be women are doing a better job at providing enjoyable to watch content than him and are blowing his views out of the water.
@@SamSolstice69 I'd agree to them being shills if they were promoting purchasing above and beyond the norm, and essentially running PR campaigns praising Plarium and ignoring misteps and acting like the game has never been better. Granted I haven't seen any of CC's videos, But the few of Carla's that I've seen haven't been like that. I don't know if you watched Ash's response to Wizard's video, but CC apparently has a big background in Summoner War, and Carla also having a big subscriber base spread across different platforms-- the scrutiny should be on Plarium for wanting to bring new creators in to attract new players that aren't knowledgeable of the Plarium lore. It's kind of hard to blame someone for not turning down free money, especially if they're not acting as probogandists for Plarium. What is unfortunate is Plarium not doing more to promote existing dedicated content creators, which is the real crux of the issue imo. EDIT: I forgot to add that if they are indeed directly paid to cover the game, it would be something that should be disclosed. I understand that is part of being a shill, but overall there isn't any proof but I guess personally I just tend to be a bit less cynical/operate on good faith on this type issue. P.s., very solid points on Saph. I never was a big fan, but appreciated some of his breakdowns. That being said, a big part of integrity to me is consistency and that is something he is currently not displaying.
@@SamSolstice69I'll take someone chasing a bag over a manchild crying to his 200 viewers that the mean pretty lady is getting more views than him and that he actually deserves those views more than her.
On Saph: Definitely out of touch. The quote 'Its important to be happy than to be right' basically sums it up. On this video: Damn thats cringe and beyond reasonable. Your stan would just rally up behind you like what you assumed Saph's stan would do. 🤦♂
To think that plarium will actually fix anything properly is just wishful thinking. So much shit is untested on release. Hope he is happy now, Trunda is best dps in the game. Cadaver, madman, pyxneil, madman, Wixwell, Emic and all taunt champions are now almost dead in hydra. My one and only gacha void Lego (Emic) who is worthless now😂. To think that all the points he presented are the true hydra nerfs is just ridiculous.
So dude argued for certain changes and different changes were implemented and it's his fault because there is some similarity to them? Terrible should go to jail. Also infinite scaling being bad really shouldn't be hot take because they tend to break any game that allows them. But I agree that arguing it may create issues for the future context is ludicrours. That has obviously never happened and I certainly don't have undeletable message in my mail box just about the new boss release. Oh look context.
@@SamSolstice69 Right back at ya then. I have no strong opinion on the man one way or the other but given the way you seem to communicate, I am shocked it took him this long to block you. Man must be a saint. And oh yeah. If you think countering "but they did something different that what he said" with "but he kept saying it for a while", then God help you.
I don’t really see the point of your content recently. Are you making your channel anti other content creator? Seems like a waste of time. I don’t think Plarium listens to any of you.
My channel is what it is, I make whatever content I want. Most CCs are aware that Plarium watch Saphs Channel though. I play a clip of some of them joking about it in this video.

New CB.. hopefully doesn't suck. That's something.
@@SamSolstice69 Eh, we will see, but honestly, seeing how some other game developers respect and listen to their community makes me realize how shitty of a relationship I have been in with Raid. I am looking to start playing other games like POE2
@@mrburritoslayer A lot of us are on the same boat. As in... wanting to leave this shitty relationship and kind of waiting and hoping that it will eventually fade away or something else come along to yank us away from Plarium's grip. Best wishes man, don't look back!
@ 🙏🏾🍻
Just stumbled into your channel - Love the content. Keep it up!
I see the truth somewhere in the middle - Wix was a way to catch up to Trunda abusers. It was fun! I agree in more regards than not that the high numbers we see were bug, and the path of least resistance was to fix trunda to be more in line with the rest of the teams. Issue still persists. The issue is that hydra was fudged by Plarium, not only because of Saph.
I like this take. And agree 100%. Though highlighting Saph's issues does not mean (at least not to me) that he's the only issue.
Hydra was fine. Clash was poorly implemented. And like @yobtae said.. highlighting things Saph said or asked for, isn't claiming he's to blame for everything. Plarium are the ones that did this, I'm simply holding a mirror up to the ones influencing them.
Noice
Your videos are great 😂. Never apologize for the length of your videos. They are worth everyone’s time 😂
Alot of this video highlights...at least for me, why when the hydra changes were made and everyone was screaming for Godforge so they can not play raid made zero sense. If nerfs and the hydra changes were what sets people off...how is going to the game ran by people that either supports nerfs(hellhades and Saph) or come up with ideas that suck and this case suggest one of THEE changes(saph and Serps buff) that triggers you in the first place the answer? Like being mad that where you live is freezing cold so you move to Alaska. Lol. Great content, Sam!!
nice take ! love it !
Tbf HH disagreed on wixwell.
@@Khaavrenbbb. While that's true...he has said numerous times he supports changes. So again...if nerfs trigger you to say fvck plarium!... how can you think that Godforge isnt gonna have the same issues...guess what? Its going to...bet on it, bro
@@realtree.j I hope there are people at godforge who can rein him in. They do want to succeed. If this series by @sam does anything, I think they will at least scrutinize his contributions more closely .
@@Khaavrenbbb think the fact that you used the word hope says it all...especially to my initial point that Godforge will face the same issues because alot of the changes WILL BE made by the same people that have directly influenced the game that people are mad at in the first place. Lol. I hope they succeed and im sure they want to...but anything other than seeing something for what it is seems foolish. Godforge is gonna nerf things, have game mode changes that will trigger you and most importantly...want to make money. Decisions arent gonna be made that make you and i happy...its gonna be what lines pockets.

That "autism translator" was really funny!
The context, cracking video as usual.👍😉
Saph is insufferable. This game gets more and more boring as the days go on, and it seems like Saph and plarium can NEVER make up their minds when it comes to changes to the game, and seem to forget what the word "POSITIVE" means 😂.
Love the content, keep up the great work! Also i wouldn't put it past saph to block/ban someone who disagrees with him on every social platform possible, he seems like he's that kind of person 😂.
So many people I've talked to refer to him as "insufferable".. it can't be a coincidence haha
@@SamSolstice69 As well as I constantly hear people call you a "troll". Can't be a coincidence!
@@whom382 It isn't.
saf...the game destroyer...i was afraid it will happen after i ve seen his video before the nerfs.
In these dark times your videos bring me solace - please don't stop
ps. The new CB is going to be a shit show!
Hopefully Plarium learned to stop listening to Saph, so the new Clan Boss can be good 😜
Saph is a brilliant strategists in game and good at helping people but he is not in touch with the community some things dont need fixing they are fun and u can choose not to engage with them if they bother u
I argue that Saph is a good strategist. He's not - he's just good at understanding code and programming logic, but in terms of theory crafting, I have yet to see anything original from him that has shown him to be big brained. LMK if I got this wrong or if he came up with any actually helpful strategy (see Bronko) for the community.
😂😂😂 Ok i think get whats happened now. Thanks for the context.
Basically theres a guy like saph at plarium is the assumption and he gets insight from saph most likey because they have similar thought process being so analytical and history of communications. Which is a good thing in some areas im sure. On something like major champion and hyrdra reblances he missed the mark.
Now saph is acting like he is being bullied instead of being able to take the actual criticism or have a conversation where he takes any responsibility when clearly he has pushed this change and felt strongly about it.
Now you sam are just personally effected and have the platform to apply criticism. Love your vids.
I chuckled every time the old man saying “context” shows up
Context!
Girl you got a new fan
Watch out for copyright, wouldnt put it past that muppet to abuse UA-cam's copyright system
In todays News: Person on the Internet disagrees with another Perosn. Watch now 12 minutes of useless shit
Closer to 11min but I forgive you.
Hey, if you want videos that are two or three times as long, just as "useless", from someone with 164x my audience, and on a daily or twice daily.. you can always go watch Cocomelon. You seem like the type that would enjoy his content.
Saph's video is 17 minutes of victim card pulling useless shit . I wonder if you left the same comment there too😂
Saph and I got n2 it over the crap he spews so it is what it is love ur content keep it going
haha love it, you should do a video on scratch next! lol
That would be a much longer video.. that guy sucks 😜
If I could subscribe any harder I would.

Even though I clicked "Do Not Recommend" on UA-cam, it still gives me this trash channel.
@@whom382Do you have a do not recommend button?
Saph and Nub love seeing the game get nerfs and lowering player enjoyment.
now i really want u to jump to King Arthur. raid is dead game anyway
I'm going to try it when it drops on Steam.
@@SamSolstice69 Its the exact same as raid but has more content. that you can't play because you have no energy or silver. the packs cost more, and theres tons of em. the prices are ridiculous. the popups when you collect things are annoying. and the energy is 5 minutes regen. not 3 like raid, which means you never have a full energy refil when you wake up. i'm still enjoying it though. join Cobrakai. when you are in lol, we have 6 raid players. more coming on the 27th november on release day.
Please continue with these vids!
I started disliking that guy when auto battle for clan boss was introduced, he said it will take out enjoyment out of the game and he will wouldn't use it, it made me laugh and then I proceded to block his channel to appear on my feed and I have been a little bit happier since xD
wait , he actually was against that ? what a tool ! he wants to sit and watch senseless clan boss fight 3 to 4 times a day ? wtf is wrong with him
Oh, he brings up CB still to this day. He's living in 2020 and wants everyone to struggle. When he was going after Cadaver in Hydra he mentioned hating how people can get billions in Demon Lord. Such a self absorbed, an anti-fun CC.
@SamSolstice69 lol what a prick he is .
I can only imagine how awful GodForge is going to be , I have a feeling that it wont make it out of BETA ,HellHades channel and his comrades sure trying to ruin the RAID recently
Yeah I jumped ship after he got wixwell nerfed, I stopped watching all his vids and live streams, it seems more like as soon as the average player base starts competing with pay to win players it becomes a problem to look at changes, these guys had no problem with trunda until, madman, corpulent cadaver, wixwell etc it’s annoying to see this happening time and time again 😒
Keep up the amazing work Sam, thanks for speaking up for the f2p community as well as for the people that actually care about this game 💯
Saph is my favorite CC, he embodies everything I hate about Raid, particularly the cluster B personality traits.
Saph is your favourite CC after me.. I think you meant to say.
@SamSolstice69 i did thanks for the correction lol
god forbid you suggest a change to the game 😅
Free Queen Eva's for everyone.
Sam, you gotta stop holding back and tell us how you really feel! 😜
Regardless of topic I love the no bullshit approach from you, I have never seen you not call it like you see it or say your say unfiltered for the most part.
To be fair, I probs should rein it in maybe 20% - 30% and re-enable my profanity filter haha.. but Saph has been baiting me out for a while so I had to.
@@SamSolstice69 been there!
Saph has always rubbed me the wrong way. Finally.....a channel thats not afraid to call out other CC's when they are full of 💩!!! JGigs is fine concerning criticism of Plarium itself, BUT i've been missing CC's not being called out since Stew Gaming (way back in the day) giving ASH hell on the regular. Lol, I miss him calling ASH's "O" face (in his stupid thumbnails) his "ASH hole" 😂🤣
Give em hell luv!!!
PS: 2nd video i've watched from you, I am NOT disappointed. Keep being blatantly unapologetic. I enjoy every minute of you pointing out Saph's "whiney little b!tch" attitude/persona that he desperately needs to do something about.
You friggen rock!!!
PSS: Had to edit and self censor (I loathe it, YT deleted my original comment) because UA-cam sucks almost as much as RAID.
Hopefully this one is namby-pamby enough that they won't delete it.
Yeah some of my own replies on my channel don't get through haha
one bit of context rage baiting for views in common on youtube
@@billjohnson104 huh?
4:05 that's dirty....................and HILARIOUS.
I've had my share of run-ins with Saph on Reddit, particularly on a discussion about Gnut's max HP hit, which is the stupidest thing I'd heard. Saying it's terrible game design because it makes bosses irrelevant as if you could just throw the character on a team with nothing and he'd just destroy them. Then if you go and look at all of his dungeon teams, they're ALL speed teams that delete bosses in seconds. He's a hypocrite in that sense. It's fine if the hit comes from a burn exploder or someone like Whisper, but if it's max HP like a Gnut, it's somehow a problem and he doesn't like it.
Saph has a small brain. Good players show him what's good and he points at that thing and calls it "broken". Then makes videos talking about how to "fix" it for 6 month. Then he gets angry he isn't getting his way and makes videos demanding it to be fixed. Basically Andy Dufresne but instead of writing 2 letters per-month, he's writing 14 letters per-week.
@@SamSolstice69awesome shawshank reference
@@SamSolstice69 🤣
This is hilarious. I was watching his live stream one night, shortly after they nerfed Godseeker solo Amius strat, and he was arguing with his own chat about how it was a good thing because strats that ignore boss mechanics are bad for the game...while he was trying to "one shot" Amius with dual Whispers, thus ignoring all boss mechanics. Just can't make this shit up.
I have no ill-will towards the dude. My take is that he gets out in front of his skis. He says A LOT without pulling thoughts all the way through, then when the outcome is different than his assumption he walks it back like he knew it was gonna happen every time. Watch him play live arena, it is hilarious and a little sad but a good microcosm of wildly definitive assumptions that play out differently in reality.
@@tonyflow429 I should edit and upload one of his stream haha..
Well I watched his video, and my impression is that he played the victim card (again) because is not the first time that a major part of the community blames him for ruining people's fun.
I do not have any issues with suggesting changes, the problem is when an individual believes that his thinking must be taken into account no matter what, and keeps making noise until getting his way.
I got out of Reddit because I had a few runs with his manners in the raid sub, whenever you don't agree with his point the best you can get is disdain, and the worst, well there's plenty stories to pick.
The point is that he's in a position to influence raid devs because his mod/cc status gives him more ways to get heard than the majority of us commoners, and knowing that he abuses that power to his own advantage, which mislead plarium into believing that he talk for a vast majority of players.
Even HH himself has been away (on some event for his game it seem) and disconnected more a more from the game since all the hydra changes took place.
I can admit that changes need to be implemented some times, but ruining all the fun for everyone and then get pissed off when all the heat come to your way because the audience has seen your videos and correlate those changes to your content, but then deny the obvious evidence?, sorry but no, he made the bed, now he must sleep on it.
Pin worthy comment.
Lot of hate here but where are the proposals? Saph is no god who decides what Plarium does and does not. Hydra was broken and he had suggestions on how fix it. Some of the proposals were bad and some good as in any problem solving. Thre is no need to make this personal.
I still haven't watched this video and went straight to the comment section, lol. I agree Saph is no god and Plarium is the ultimate decision maker. But no, Hydra wasn't broken. You speak of this as an absolute truth like everybody is in agreement. Saph does the same thing. There are other opinions out there, and this particular opinion certainly does not represent the entire community. I'm not trying to be personal or start hate, but I do want him to understand this point. Personally I speculate that majority of the community were fine with Hydra.
@@yobytae. I was under the impression that Trunda made the Hydra clash broken. I have played for a long time ad I am in a top 100 clan. I have loads of void leggos but never pulled Trunda. For me the Hydra was broken as I never could compete. That said, my oppinion matters just as much (or rather as little) as everyone elses. No hate from me and as we are dealing with pixels on a screen, things should not get personal.
The "personal" part has nothing to do with the game... that's why it's personal.
@@Benzefal I get it, but that was a problem for only like 0.1% of all the clans. Also, it's clash, not Hydra in general. Meaning they could have done something about the reward system in clash or even removed clash entirely rather than mess with the actual mechanics, basically by following Saph's logic and reasoning.
I'm not sure where to draw the line in terms of what's considered "personal". I support Sam's videos, I want to get it across to Saph that he does not represent the entire community, many people do not agree with his suggestions. Yes, Plarium didn't do exactly as he suggested (although heavily influenced), but even if they did many would have disagreed with it anyway.
But I will say this isn't meant as an attack (at least not from me), he shouldn't take it to heart, he should still voice his opinions. Just don't be so dang arrogant about it.
@@yobytae. I guess I was just very unlucky to be in that one clan in a 1000 where that was a problem.
Only name i can find for you is that you are a Hero for pointing this out! Thanks!!
I need a sam and ash collab.
If I thought for a second Ash was able to make a vid that wasn't some vapid tier list.. I might consider it.
He is also good friends with Saph...
You forgot show his talk about fun , I definitely didn't had fun playing hydra more than the time I used cadaver
I need to make a Lore video.. that "part 3" Discord post was the catalyst for all this.
Good video as usual
There are a lot of people attacking Wizard D for his video about this and Ash. it's a shame that many who watch this can't pop over to his channel and give him some support as he has been flamed for literally saying the same thing.
Yeah I had a chat with Dave when he made the vid.. Hopefully this takes some heat of him haha
As they should because it wasn't just a video about Ash. Wizard made a video being sexist, bitching and moaning that a couple new content creators who happen to be women are doing a better job at providing enjoyable to watch content than him and are blowing his views out of the water.
@@WindReiter10 They are both literal Shills.
@@SamSolstice69 I'd agree to them being shills if they were promoting purchasing above and beyond the norm, and essentially running PR campaigns praising Plarium and ignoring misteps and acting like the game has never been better.
Granted I haven't seen any of CC's videos, But the few of Carla's that I've seen haven't been like that.
I don't know if you watched Ash's response to Wizard's video, but CC apparently has a big background in Summoner War, and Carla also having a big subscriber base spread across different platforms-- the scrutiny should be on Plarium for wanting to bring new creators in to attract new players that aren't knowledgeable of the Plarium lore.
It's kind of hard to blame someone for not turning down free money, especially if they're not acting as probogandists for Plarium.
What is unfortunate is Plarium not doing more to promote existing dedicated content creators, which is the real crux of the issue imo.
EDIT: I forgot to add that if they are indeed directly paid to cover the game, it would be something that should be disclosed.
I understand that is part of being a shill, but overall there isn't any proof but I guess personally I just tend to be a bit less cynical/operate on good faith on this type issue.
P.s., very solid points on Saph. I never was a big fan, but appreciated some of his breakdowns. That being said, a big part of integrity to me is consistency and that is something he is currently not displaying.
@@SamSolstice69I'll take someone chasing a bag over a manchild crying to his 200 viewers that the mean pretty lady is getting more views than him and that he actually deserves those views more than her.

Apology accepted. 😎
another amazing video
Very contexty
OOF, he's cooked.
This is too good, really showing how weak and fragile Saph really is
On Saph: Definitely out of touch. The quote 'Its important to be happy than to be right' basically sums it up.
On this video: Damn thats cringe and beyond reasonable. Your stan would just rally up behind you like what you assumed Saph's stan would do.
🤦♂
Not sure I understand the 2nd part.
spot on
I was waiting for that response... shame this ruins the saph as a person further, which is worse than just his takes
To think that plarium will actually fix anything properly is just wishful thinking.
So much shit is untested on release.
Hope he is happy now, Trunda is best dps in the game. Cadaver, madman, pyxneil, madman, Wixwell, Emic and all taunt champions are now almost dead in hydra.
My one and only gacha void Lego (Emic) who is worthless now😂.
To think that all the points he presented are the true hydra nerfs is just ridiculous.
Please just think of the CONTEXT!!.
Don’t blame saph he’s welsh. Probably a bit too much sheep in his past causes him to hate people.
So dude argued for certain changes and different changes were implemented and it's his fault because there is some similarity to them? Terrible should go to jail.
Also infinite scaling being bad really shouldn't be hot take because they tend to break any game that allows them. But I agree that arguing it may create issues for the future context is ludicrours. That has obviously never happened and I certainly don't have undeletable message in my mail box just about the new boss release. Oh look context.
