I guess this is the end of the road for me. I'll try to respond to all your comments. It's been a fun ride but all good things come to an end (including the previous gacha and sidegrading system). See ya chump.
Hope you like the video, remember to smash the like and subscribe buttons thanks!
Thank you for the outpouring of support and kind words, they really do mean a lot to me. I'm so happy to hear from you all, and I do recognize most, if not all of you. I've read all your comments. Even though work and personal life was a factor, the fact remains that the SA system and its effects on account progression, the negative banner changes, the fact that many SA units are NOT useful unless awakened, off-banner pulls and sidegrading being punished/impossible, FOMO for getting the newest unit within it's featured banner, the forever $tarchart debt (basically the greedy gacha system changes as a whole among other issues) PLUS the Astral Archive pay to win model that has made this game unenjoyable for me.
I still love the game and wish things were different, but like many of you said, all good things must come to an end. It's too bad that it's mainly due to the game system and enjoyment factor going downhill though. I might still play the main story since I do enjoy the story overall. I hope to meet you again, whether WFS changes its direction on this game, or perhaps on a new one!
cmon
You will be missed! 🎉
You will be missed gammer dad. I came to see cause I haven't seen a video in a while. I have watched you for a couple years and am very sad to not be able to hear your voice and watch pulls with the family. Wish you all the best in life.
For the past five years you have truly been a pillar of the Another Eden community. Though we are sorry to see you go, we consider ourselves lucky that you have been with us for so long, making so many valuable contributions to the community. Thank you for everything!
-Scott
Thanks for everything Scott, it was truly a pleasure. Too bad we never got a second chance to work together, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for the opportunity to collab with WFS, the interview, and for your work in the community. I’ll probably still lurk around the community from time to time.
If possible, please direct my video and criticisms to the appropriate department at WFS. I still hope that there can be improvements to the Stellar Awakening and updated Gacha system that would balance gameplay, enjoyment and profits as well. If you’re not able to, I completely understand as well.
Hope we cross paths again soon!
P.S. I would still love to have a Varuo plushie! 😉
End of an era
Thank you so much for all your contributions to the community these past 5 years, I'm really really sad to see you go but I understand that the way WFS has been handling the Stellar Awakening system has made it more difficult for f2p players to keep up with the game. For your sake as well as for the sake of all the others who left for the same reasons as you, I really hope that the devs will take notice of these reasons and implement changes to make things more fair again. I love this game so much for its story, characters, and world despite not being the best at superboss content, but I suppose quality story isn't enough to keep everyone around if the gacha system loses its uniqueness that it once had within the gacha industry.
I'm trying to believe that this isn't a permanent goodbye but rather a break for your mental health + a test to wait and see if things within the game will change for the better. If/when WFS actually does address these issues and makes the much needed changes that the community has been calling for, will you consider coming back to the game?
Thanks for the kind words. If they made significant positive changes to the SA system, then yes I would consider coming back to AE. I really do love the game but the current path of the game and system are simply not acceptable for my play style. I am still halfheartedly doing my keys and may even start the main story. We shall see.
Thank you for uploading and sharing your content on Another Eden with us in the Another Eden Community, Wil Mak.
I've followed your channel for I don't know how long at this point, having played this game on and off, off currently, and I've always appreciated your input about things, should you summons for both paid and free players, guides for superbosses. I believe I even superchatted money to you during a livestream...I've never done that before. Thank you for all that you've done for the game, I agree with your current thoughts on the game 100% and I understand and emphasize with your reasons why you would stop uploading AE content.
The whole apathy thing, I remember the first time I felt that though it was before the SA system. It was the final boss of the AS Cerrine boss series. I wanted to see the rest of her story really badly but that boss fight annoyed me so much it made me pull for Yakumo. It was rough, I think I spent 15k stones or near that and I got him, and easily destroyed that boss and felt nothing. I did get to see the rest of what happened and enjoyed it thankfully, but as for bossing from then I was really checked out as far as it comes to this game and I was already not too much of a super bosser. The fights just got less and less fun.
The SA system? Yep, stopped caring about keys once they started this system (unless it's for episode dungeons). I stopped caring about gameplay and having units for that matter when they introduced this system. I truly hope they amend the system to be better for players but seeing as the game appears to be gaining revenue (at least compared to before the SA system) so unfortunately don't see it happening. I still really do enjoy the story too, I look forward to finishing it or catching up with it eventually.
It was really cool seeing that (or knowing rather) you played AE with your family and using it as a way to teach, bond, and have fun. It's truly a shame to see all of that fade away, hopefully there are other ways you guys somewhere can find that kind of magic. I'll stay subscribed for that tiny chance that you come back to post. It's been a pleasure, thanks for being a gaming dad.
Yes, I remember your superchat, it was my first and extremely exciting for me to receive it. Thank you for your support over the years!
God, it hurts to see you go! Your guides saved me so many times in the past.
I'm willing to stay with AnaDen due to the story rather than the gacha or gameplay, but I'll admit the gacha has made it demoralizing if they don't plan on making it more player friendly.
Hope you are well Wil, and, well, if we ever cross paths again, hope it will be to share nice memories.
Hey Wil, I just want to say that I am very appreciative of these videos. I quit the game about 6 months ago but your videos have always been special to me and I found your guides/reviews very helpful. Another Eden was honestly such a special game for me, I remember sinking hundreds of hours into the game about a month after its release. To me, the original story(I think part ) is the best I have ever seen in any gacha game. Completing the original story was such a memorable experience for me, and the stories that followed were not bad as well. however, I feel like the story over the past 1 or 2 years is not a strong as it used to be, I feel like nothing will come close to what it once was. It really is unfortunate that AE has taken a turn for the worse, and the power creep in this game is actually insane. You were by far my favourite AE content creator and I would just like to say thanks. If you ever find another game with similar mechanics, I highly recommend you return to UA-cam, your calming and genuine videos are very fun to watch. I was originally going to spend this money on buying the 1000 chrono stone pack on AE about a year ago, but I think I would rather support you than give in to the greedy devs at WFS. It really is a shame that the game has strayed so far from it's initial state.
Thank you for your kind words! It really is unfortunate how the game has deviated from its roots, but money talks I guess. I feel that if you still enjoy the main story you can play it, however, the gacha component will always haunt you. I really appreciate the token, and especially enjoy the fact that you diverted it from supporting WFS to my (currently) defunct channel.
If I find another game, or if AE changes its path, I'll be sure to come back! Thanks again.
So sad you’re leaving, I so enjoyed sharing this journey with you. The one thing you did that made your videos stand out was that you talked and explained WHY you were using certain characters or spells, which enabled me to learn or to make substitutions of other characters who could fill the same roles. For me the biggest problem hasn’t been the SA system so much (though the problems you foresaw are becoming apparent), but rather that the super bosses have gotten so difficult they are no longer fun and I can’t beat them without help despite having a terrific roster. That and the new characters being so complex I don’t understand how to use them. We’ll miss you.
Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed hearing about your family's progress in AE, especially Chaos. Like you mentioned, there are many problems that have arisen including the difficulty/complexity of the superboss fights. They even negate the abilities of your team (nullify barrier pierce, 100% type/phys up to name a few) making them not fun anymore.
miss your videos man. Those character reviews back in the days were awesome and was what motivated me to collect characters
Thanks for all the contribution to the community.
I think its safe to say ur the most prominent ae player in global without a doubt.
I still remember the old days when i was a new player and wil mak strategy videos got me started on the basics of the game.
It was quite an enjoyable journey which will probably stay with me in my memory forever.
Part of the reason i wanted to quit was to preserve this feeling rather than have all the negativity pile up and overwhelm all my positive memories ice created with the community over the years
Thank you. I enjoyed our interactions and watching your Kikyo videos, very impressive! Like you, I think I will miss the good times and the community the most.
Man, I go away on vacation and come back to discover my favorite youtuber is calling it a day (or 5 years). Wil, I don't know if you're still checking comments, but as I've indicated before, you are the inspiration I had to begin my own AE channel! I'm also a 2019+ player, and I don't recall when I discovered your channel, but I was watching your videos long before I ever created my own. I know mine is small compared to yours, but I am attempting to follow your mantra: I saw how you were attempting to make the game playable and fun for all, and that was my motivation when I began mine. Well, that and learning how youtube works from a creator viewpoint so I could keep tabs on my daughter's channel. :)
I hear you regarding how some parts of the game now just absolutely require certain characters or else it's unbeatable or extremely unpleasant. My earliest videos used to showcase how to beat bosses with various teams, but recently I find myself using only the strongest characters. It's no longer a fun puzzle trying to find who can support whom; it's now hoping you get a powerful character and building around them. I've tried to adapt by showing how to build around multiple meta characters, but you're right...many fights are simply not possible with most existing characters. And that's a sad thing. Not to mention the collection headaches.
I've always said that games should be fun. If you're not having fun, do what's best for you. Enjoy playing at your own pace for a change and not stressing over video production or fighting WFS! I would have loved to collaborate with you on some casual chat videos; you are somewhat like an idol to me, but I'll do what I can to continue your spirit. Thank you so much, and please enjoy "retirement!"
Good luck on your channel! I’ll still be lurking from time to time, and enjoy your summer holidays!
Oh wow. I’m just seeing this. You’ve served the community so well with all of your hard work over the years, sir. It’s been appreciated beyond words. AE is losing out on the communities longest lived, and VERY MUCH REQUIRED go-to resource. This game simply wouldn’t have been as enjoyable with out your help and explanations. We’ve always known their monetization system was ill advised… and since coming back and hearing this it’s obvious it went from just being unintelligent to being awful. Cheers and god bless my dude. 🫡
I did not expect to wake up today and see such a heartbreaking video from you.
I understand your decision and how you feel though. The game got away from its original super f2p ways.
I thank you for the years of content creation for our beloved game and wish you and your family life only the best!
Hopefully you will stay on UA-cam and create other content for things you are passionate about.
Thank you. I’m not sure what the future holds, but perhaps I’ll be back with another game I’m passionate about.
@@WilMakGamerDad I sure hope so!
Aww, it's been quite a while I've been on and off with the game. I think that the sidegrade system is AE is really good compared to any gacha games I've played. But as you said, I think since the Stellar Awakening update things feels so different. I also think the same about the state of AE.
It's been such a long and wonderful journey in AE with your videos. And I will definitely miss you, Gamer Dad. Thank you for putting the best time and effors on them, and thank you so much
At this rate, I really hope the devs implement the changes that every player really needs with the current state of the game.
It feels like a family member is moving away but we’re happy for you and support you in your decision. Thanks again for all your help. You and your family will be missed.
This is a dark day indeed! I wish you nothing but the best man! You really helped me out with content! Always appreciated! Come back anytime!
Wil, even though this channel was for Another Eden, everyone still came for -your- content and how you presented it, they were here for you. You built this community, I'm sure if you ever do more guides and gameplay for another game, some will continue to follow you there as well~
Whether you ever come back to AE or make other game guides or never, thanks for the guides you did make, they made a difference~
Dang, I started playing this game a few months after you and quit about a month before you. In the process of switching all of my subs to my new youtube account I saw that you posted this video and just wanted to say thanks for all the vids over the years. Subbed with this new account in case you ever come back with a different game. As a long term AE fan I couldn't agree more with absolutely everything you said. Best of luck in whatever you do!
Gonna miss you Will! You really helped out the community so much! I agree about the SA system. I sadly quit after the SA system started to get implemented in a bad way. It really started to bring down the game. I just couldn't keep up anymore, and to be honest the story quality went down a lot.
hey Wil
you were here when i first started to play the game in the pandemic so it sucks that you're leaving it but you gotta do what makes you happy and I understand
it's not goodbye Wil, it's until next communion; later days man😁
sad. my playing has dropped off significantly and apathy describes my feelings as well. i miss how the game was earlier and the spirit of the community surrounding the game. it's not the same. will miss your videos and you as well. take care and wishing you the best!
I really can't blame you. I've hating this new SA system since it launched and it seems it'll only go down from this point onwards
Needless to say, i've enjoyed ur content for years now! You're by far the biggest AE channel on West-only viewers such as myself, and you helped me throughout many occasions and obstacles at the game.
I'm still going to play the game since I do want to see where and how the story of Aldo and his friends will end (as I guess u too will do), but we can say that it has been a hell of a ride, for both us and you
A sincere "thank you", Gamer Dad, and we hope you keep uploading new videos about other stuff. You'll be always welcomed here, and we'll miss you dearly
I'm still gonna be subscribed to your channel as a token of gratitude for everything. Hope you and your family to continue to be as happy as it possible can.
Cheers from Brazil
Thanks for all the work you put out towards the community! I know it must be a tough decision to quit something you ended up so passionate about but time will eventually come to this. You have been such a incredible person for not only the f2p community but to everyone as well ❤
This is a sad day. Your videos were so helpful. When I first started, I subscribed and looked for all your 5* reviews to learn about the game, and your SDE ratings… you definitely made the game accessible, and did the research for us. Please return, this game, or another. You found your niche, and we all have benefitted. Thank you.
What a run Wil, I want to fully support your decision.
I also quit a few months ago, my life has been a lot less stressful, and the SA system broke this game.
You actually quit? This is so sad to hear man. I wish you and your family all the best luck in the world and maybe we will see you again in the future if possible.
I am also a day 1 player when AE came out and i watched so many of your videos for help on some guides. You will never be forgotten.
Good luck to you and your future pulls!
Thank you very much for your hard work with AE, thanks to your guides with the grastas, characters, etc. I was able to defeat several superbosses, I hope that very soon we can find you again, even if it is in other games giving us interesting reviews or useful tips. Rest, enjoy your family and a big hug from Bolivia
Thank you, Wil, for everything you've done to bring people into AE over the years. One of the biggest problems and blessings I feel AE has as someone who plays a lot of gachas and runs a few communities is understanding some of the unit mechanics (especially in recent years). You've always helped fill that gap with your videos, and it is very sad to see you go. Pretty much everyone else that makes videos assumes everyone plays it as much as they do and is familiar with all the crazy synergies they've added to the game. I could count on your videos to help me understand those mechanics or solve a quest puzzle in a pinch.
AE is like that secret little world that is always out there for those who enjoy its storytelling; there is just something incredibly special about it. I play maybe 2-3 months a year to catch up on the game with some friends. Often, it brings back some very wholesome and good memories of childhood. I just returned to the game, and your channel was the first I looked up to catch up on videos. Wish you the best whether your journey brings you back to a place beyond time and space or not.
Thank you wil. I think i can speak for all and say your videos have helped many of us thru tough parts of the game. We wish we could continue to share the joirney of AE with you, but we all understand. Hopefully, wfs makes some positve changes and you find love for the game again. In the mean time, May you have health and prosperity for you and your family. Once again thank you wil for all the videos.
Thank you for the support over the years as well Mark. Hopefully you and your family continue to enjoy AE!
Thank you for all the wonderful videos and contribution to the community.
After the anniversary I decided to quit for many of the same reason you have. The passion is just gone. Playing the game isn’t rewarding anymore. I spent money to support the game I loved but the new systems felt like they were spitting in my face.
I’ve detailed this in previous comments but I just got further and further behind while the difficulty spikes became more and more insurmountable.
If it isn’t rewarding and costs an arm and leg why support it? I could have bought many full games with that but I chose to spent it on AE because it was the best gacha game around.
That feeling is gone. I gave the new system a chance even when I didn’t agree with it and it just made me more and more disappointed.
It sucks to see something I loved go down this path. Such as life I guess. There was nothing else left to do but quit and at least keep some of the good memories of it.
Good luck with wherever life takes you Will. If you ever feel like coming back or miss making videos I’ll drop by whatever form those videos might take.
Sad to see gamer dad go. I enjoyed your IDA Ep 2 videos
I'm not surprised, and I wish you all the best!! Thanks for making this game fun while it lasted. I can always rely on your content to play this game and understand its gimmicks.
Vol 3 mechanics and their bonus activities are making it more grindy.
Thanks for all the fun and informative videos! Definitely one of my favorite channels for AE content and was always excited for your pulls/side grades/boss walkthroughs. Always looked forward to your thoughts on updates and definitely influenced some of my pulls. Regardless of what future holds, I’ll support your decision! Wishing you and the fam the best!
Best Gacha dad out there!
Bye wil. I still go back and watch your old videos whenever i go to old content. Its been a few years now. I still have hope they fix it and maybe give a chance for you to come back and make it a labor of love.
I remember using ur videos for everything AE, since you were the only person I could find that had most of the content I wanted/needed. For example, how to get skull, etc.
Sad to see you go 😢
Thank you for your contribution, Wil! I have been a long time player and in my early days of watching your channel, your videos motivated me to farm units like Aldo to 255 light.
Sad to see the day come, but I understand because I haven't felt excited for Another Eden for a long time too. The newer character designs don't appeal to me and in terms of the stories, I feel that they are starting to lose their charm. I really want to love it and have it improve instead of the game moving towards EOS like Dragalia Lost did.
Anyways, thanks again for your guides and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours!
I watched so many of your videos. Every time I was stuck somewhere I'd see where you were and it helped me so many times. You outlasted me, I downloaded this game the first day it was available, but stopped playing as soon as Sazanca dropped. Just wasn't very fun anymore. Thank you so much for years of AE content
I am pretty radio silent on social media comments, but wanted to make sure you knew that I looked forward to your videos far more than the live streams. Your easy to understand tips even for those of us that are casual gamers at best really kept me in the game.
If you start videos for another game, consider me subscribed 😊
Don't leave man
Thank you so much, Wil, for your channel and your massive contribution to Another Eden and the community you've supported. You have been a huge reason for my sustained interest in the game, and my continuing knowledge about many of its elements. Your kindness and passion are evident in each of your content releases, and I miss them already. As others have said, end of an era.
I was a little hesitant to watch this video, but curiosity (maybe integrity too?) urged me to hear you out.
You must be one of the most fair, kind, and supportive content creators I've ever seen.
Comparing your perspective with my "casual" one (I have just ignored most Astral Archives and the last group of bounties), I can finally see how big the impact of the past few updates really was. I thought that the backlash against Steallar Awakeings was over the top, until you emphasized that more serious players were much more dependant on achievable content in a timely manner.
I see your points and want to thank you for an amazing few years on this channel.
PS: Anyone who gives you a hard time for putting work & family over a game is either ignorant or maliciously incompetent!
Have a great time with your loved ones!
I actually left months ago but you were with me through the whole AE journey. AE will always be one of my favorite mobile games ever! Sadly, this is usually how the games end, and I chose to get out before my memories of the game are tainted. I have enjoyed my time watching you and you have helped me out greatly. I'll keep my eyes on your channel to see if you pick up a new game, otherwise, it's been fun and thank you.
Thank you so much for all the effort you have put in for the F2P community. Wishing you all the best!
I get it and I don't blame you , the stellar awaken system makes me not even want to go for the paid banners (thankfully, they are making units more useful even in the "regular" star version now... I think they learned a lesson)
banners like star dream used to be great.. now? the units I get from it are lacking. If you do decide to come back..... one interesting way to do it could be a new account with a new mindset....saving more, summoning on very few units, not feeling like you must clear everything.... I had quit the game but after giving it some time this is what made me come back.... probably wouldn't work as much as a youtube thing.... but it could work for personal enjoyment.
either way, thanks for the journey.
Thanks for uploading videos and archiving so much of AE's world for us Wil. Your service has been invaluable to us, and you'll be missed.
Wish you all the best will. I was follow your video from beginning my AE journey.
So sad seeing you stop this AE game. However I agree the SA system and no pity gacha really wreck for F2P player. As I am also one veteran player now the game become to grinding even for me not as excited as before with the content more gimmick pull new unit. Hope the dev here about all content creator AE pulling out
Hope to see you back someday
i understand your frustration with the SA system. imo a star chart AD would be helpful. but the story is still there and the content was beatable with older units, and the bosses were a lot of fun. hopefully we'll see you back in some form
Genuinely, thank you so much for helping a lot of players with the AE content🥺 I remembered always binging your videos when I was new to the game and it really helped me a lot:))
I'm very sad but I completely understand why you'd quit the game (I've contemplated quitting as well for similar reasons), but yeah, I'm super grateful for all the help and support you had for the community🥺 Again, thank you so much Gamer Dad! Till we meet again❤️
I'm getting emotional lol. You were the only AE channel I watched consistently. Can I interview you on one of my streams???
I’ll let you know if I decide to join an interview. However at this time I’m going to stay off any YT videos. Thanks for asking.
So sad to see you go! You were one of the reasons I started AE! best of luck in life and all you are set to do!
Had to leave a 2nd comment. It's not "half-quitting" to come back. If you find the passion returns later, there's no guilt or shame to be had. Enjoy what you enjoy good sir, without apology.
Thank you. If things change for the better, then perhaps I'll come back, but not in its current iteration.
I'm sorry for this loss. You were a resource throughout my journey through this game. It remains the best RPG out there and I will continue playing.
As life goes on, the things that we love fade, however the memories will forever remain. You sir, will always remain a legend in our hearts! When life brings you down or puts you in hard times, always remember the people who supported you. Today, we'll end of with a bang!
Honestly I have no idea what I'm writing, but uh yeah. Life is life. Good luck out there!
this really hurts to take in because your guides were really helpful to me in the past. i really couldn’t have gotten to where i am without you. thank you overall
Thanks for all your videos over the years. I have also taken a break which isn't a bad thing either.
Sad to c u go. Hope u have a good break and see u posting a game sometime soon!
A shame, I only recently discovered your channel. I mostly play AE for the story and for something to do while watching UA-cam videos or listening to podcasts. I try to go through as much non-narrative content as I can without hitting a brick wall; I may have more options later. For a long time I only did daily login and ads. Then I lost my job and the catch-up campaign started soon after. That got me inspired to get back into the game. I practically marathoned my way through the main story from the middle of part one, with a few diversions to side-stories, until the end of part 2. One reason I was able to go so far in such a short time (despite helping to renovate my brother's house for six days a week during most of the catch-up campaign) was because of the AE Wiki which relies on players such as you to record facts about the game. I thank you for your contributions to the AE information space.
i used to always use ur vids to see if i should summon or not lol. thanks for everything!
Thank you, Wil, for this channel. I stopped playing Another Eden before the new system arrived and, to be honest, once my luck in the gacha evaporated and treatises and chant scripts became scant, I retreated. There was just no sense of progress in terms of side-grading characters and winning the big boss battles, so I Iost interest.
I thought the original system had a reasonable, viable f2p path, but I (personally) stopped thriving in that system but was content in the knowledge that it continued to work for other f2p players.
I am sad to hear that this has changed.
I saw a glimpse of the new system, but I had stopped logging on enough to even figure it out, but if your video is anything to go by, I will continue seeking out other games.
With that said, I truly loved this game when I started out. It was the first mobile game I ever played; It was so charming and fun, with well-developed characters and a good story, and you were my go-to channel for strategy and advice...or just watching your amazing gacha pulls.
It was a ride, and I will continue to have fun memories of Aldo ("Al-pal") and the gang and watching GamerDad videos to get me through. It was a time. 😊 I wish you all the best, and who knows? You may find another game that turns into a passion project. But for now--farewell and take care. Thanks for everything you contributed to the AE global community.
Came back to say bye Will - wishing you best of luck!
Im not sure if you will read this but I want to say thank you for making videos. Over the years you helped me alot with guides on the game.
Thanks for all your years of service, Will. Your videos have been helpful and enjoyable. I've been feeling similarly, but haven't been able to articulate why exactly. Your reasoning and discussion of value was spot on and very insightful. Good luck in your professional and personal endeavors. 👍
NGL I kinda saw this coming. Especially after other well-known people in the community left. Doesn't make it less sad to see you go. Wishing you the best, Gamer Dad! Thank you for helping us for so many years. ❤❤❤❤
It's as they say. All good things must come to an end. Your videos were really helpful and shaped how I play the game. Not to brag, but I'm a fish who buys monthly passes and sometimes hard currency for pulling to support the team, and I do agree that the current game is brutal to all F2Ps who wants to make progress on their account. I just hope that the AE devs would listen to the cries of the community.
May God bless you on your future plans!
Thank you for all the past videos, everything, really. Gonna miss ur content, gamer dad! The only UA-camr of Another Eden that I often watch, hopefully you'll return someday in the future. Until then, all the best for you!👍
Will miss you at least I can tell you the good news on my front one last time. Got Mazrika in both accounts and got enough materials to side grade Yakumo to AS.
Glad to hear it, congrats!
Thank you for everything that you did for the community along with the boss video you made on Lavoger. It was cause of your videos that kept me going through the game.
Man, I left around Melpiphia's banner. Came to check you cuz of KoF Collab but. Yeah I understand, I left because of the SA system.
Thank you. You were so much helpful. We will miss you.
Thanks for getting me through all those super bosses!
I haven't been playing in months and just been doing the daily rewards. I am hoping to hop back in soon enough. I appreciate the vids you made along with the numerous guides you provided us for all these years on AE. Thank you.
We will sorely miss you. But you have to be willing to stop when it just isn't enjoyable anymore. Thank you for all of your time and effort in this community!
Thank you and your family as well. I still remember the video you made! And good luck, hopefully you still can enjoy playing AE!
Oof. Thanks for all the hard work Gamerdad!
Thanks. Good luck with your channel!
You're an OG AE legend, Wil 😢. You've helped me so many times with your videos. First Ballot AE Hall of Famer without a doubt 🫡
Wil thank you so much for all your help a little Peabody like myself always need your help and you always came through. I did notice that you had distance yourself from here so I knew something was coming😢 I wish you luck and enjoy your family time that is something you will never get back because your children will grow and that is precious time again good luck to you
I'd like to know if the new producer and the changes they made after they joined had to do with decision. In any case as someone who had previously quit for about a year I understand why you are leaving the game. I wish you the best of luck with what you do after this.
I admit the gacha is part of the problem for me. Since I have been back I have been blowing through stones and haven't gotten crap. Very demoralizing.
I also have Steam so I have games on there to go to if I quit this again.
Unfortunately the new producer came alongside the negative changes to the Gacha especially the SA system. That of course affected the sidegrading system which was the primary way players could keep progressing.
@@WilMakGamerDad Well I wish you the best of luck in what you choose to do ... play or not.
Thanks for leaving the videos up. I still have a lot to catch up on.
@@thisranks13 you're welcome, and good luck!
I feel sad 😢... I started AE 1,5 years after Global Release, I had a lot to catch-up but I discovered your channel soon enough and helped me to get those Manifest Weapons, decide on pulling for new units and see how grindy can AE be to get those Chant Scripts and Teatrises. I understand the game is becoming quite predative: if you don't get new SA units within their banner, you are soon left behind, powercreep without a pity system is causing many Global players to quit the game. I'll stay to see new Story and skip all superbosses, they're absurdly difficult, but if the powercreep escalates, probably in several months I'll be quitting too. I hope you continue playing even if you don't make videos, just for the story and the fun, thank you for everything, Wil!!! 😊
Sad to see you go!
i will miss your channel
i usually watch your channel before every summon
i watch yours to decide whether im gonna summon or not.
but recently the rates been ridiculous, i know they spend a lot to make new content but making the game f2p friendly to hard p2w is really bad.
Sad to see you go. Good luck with your future endeavours.
You've been a big help for many in the community with your guides and showcases.
Unfortunately, until a resolution for SA comes around, it's a big demotivator; far too restrictive and being more and more p2w. Both with Starcharts and light/shadow points (your first stellar points are at 15, a 4.5 unit that you've maxed can't even make use of it), it's a big frustration for sure.
As AE is the game that has helped me get through a lot of tough days, I'll keep playing it, frustrating as recent decisions have been.
Big thanks again, your work will always be appreciated.
Thank you, let’s meet somewhere down the line :) , Thank You GamerDad.
I knew this was coming, but it doesn’t make it easier….. this is so sad.
Take care Wil! Will you try other gachas?
Thank you. We can still meet up IRL in the future ha ha! As a fellow subredditor once said, this will be my first and probably my last Gacha game.
@@WilMakGamerDad i would like that! It was really fun hanging out!
Ah, so no migration then to another game.
@@losersbecomewinners2043 no other game other than an idle browser game called Mousehunt (it's pretty lowkey)
@@WilMakGamerDad interesting! I wish you the best friend!
Thank you will and take care
Sad to see a beloved content creator end his streak, but know that Gamerdad goes out with thundering applause... now go home and be a Family man! **'Queue in Guile's Theme'**
Thank you!
It's sad to see this is your last video for another eden. You might miss out for the main story part 3 chronos empire strikes back. But Wil Mak, you have been a great youtuber for this game. I wish the best for you. I want to appreciate you for the guides you showed me and others and other strategies I commented on your videos. I hope we meet again someday if you come back to play again. I respect your decision on wanting to quit. I'm looking forward to part 3 of the main story. And wanting to steal your line, Thanks for watching, will see you next time somewhere in the future. Peace out, Wil Mak. And thank you. ✌
Been 26 years since my first full-time job, and it feels like I'm working more than I ever. Currently working on selling my home and downsizing just to get some extra cash/time back. Hopefully things slow down by our 60s 😅
Best wishes to you and yours Wil, wherever life takes you.
Thanks for watching me all these years!
Dear Mr. Mak, Gamer dad, I'm sorry to hear you're leaving. I've followed your AE videos for quite some time and enjoy the tips to the battles/updates of the game. Sad to see you leave. Maybe later, if AE gets better, everyone can see you make a stellar return. I'm still hanging in even though it is a little crazy. I feel like there was a time they were just pumping out more characters than actual content, trying to make more money. Which isn't bad necessarily, executed the proper way. Some people enjoyed getting a slew of new characters and not content, but I'd rather see more manifest weapons, side stories, episodes, etc. I liked the encounter battles like Azami, Cerrine, (Curio weapon upgrade) & Gariyu; it made it feel great to achieve a victory in those battles. Enough ramblings. Thank you, Wil, for all your videos and dedication, may you find joy in life and other games! Cheers.
Thank you for all of the work you've done until now. It's been quite a journey. It's little to no chance, but may fate and time let us meet again someday.
NOOOO WILL GAMER DAD. I HAVE LOVED UR VIDEOS FOREVER DO NOT STOP MAKING THEM
Thanks for your help, I remember when I use your guide for getting some secret achivement at IDA School, guide for battling Hachiyo's, and more..
.
You are my MVP Gamerdad 😭
😢😢😢 I really appreciate ur dedication in making review videos up until now, wil! I started my AE journey and grew up watching ur videos, I was always looking forward for ur new video. Your review was the best, very clear and most applicable. I really hope for ur return someday.
Awe man i been with you since day1 years ago when the game 1st came out stopped and restarted a couple times since then. 😢😢 sad to see you go.
I just got to know you are not recording anymore videos, although i stopped playing AE ages ago i loved watching your videos back in the day, i hope all goes well for you.
Thanks for everything
I don't comment often but I've quit this game 3 times now and every time gamer dad helped me understand what I was behind on. I remember how I thought some of the voice over in your videos felt cheesy but honestly I think back on it now that I just had my first kid and I have to say its inspiring how you were able to build such a fun relationship with your kids using this gatcha game. You will be missed by this community and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this game was on its way out because having recently come back it does really feel like they are wringing the player base out even though they stuck with the game.
You'll always be a legend in the ae community 💪
first video I've checked into for a while, but just wanted to express some appreciation for your work over the years. Personally I dropped the game near the start of the year, I knew it had real issues when I actually pulled a unit I wanted but felt disappointment because it was a 4*...
Thank you for your videos Gamer Dad, you've been a great treasure for the AE community. It's been rough being a f2p, and yes the SA is the straw that break the camel's back unfortunately.
Been good to have you around. All the best in life, you're a star.
Very sad to see you go. Thank you for all the work you’ve done for the community! I hope the devs take into consideration making changes with the current stellar system before more players like us start to lose interest playingthe game… anyways, I’ve had good memories watching your videos, Wil! 😊
Wow this is a blow i was not expecting ........
i did wish we would have collaborated on some video but i fully understand why you are leaving ....... its been a fun ride
See you in Another X? Haha. Thanks Wil~
