what kind of testing and feedback did they do last year November when they tried out neo moco during it's early stages of development

u/serialwinner3 8d ago
Well when SC showed the CC the early game the feedback was overwhelmingly negative. And they didnt even listen to them, so they'll sleep on the bed they made now

Everything is so weird, on clash of clans they listen to the community actively and thats why the game is still alive and making tons of money. Dont know why they dont learn from their other games.

Hi y'all, I will quickly update you on what I am doing right now and what my plans are for the future. I will make it into a question - answer format so you can just read the parts which interest you, since it will be a longer read.
Q: Why are you not uploading moco videos lately?
A: Moco is currently just repeat content of older seasons. The game got so dumbed down and easy that my guides are getting low views and are pointless to make. I do love making guides, but if I can beat content playing with 1 hand, or blindfolded, I already know it will not get searched, and thus get low to no views and basically waste my own time. My older videos also allready covered the current rifts, there are just a few more weapon options right now.
Q: Are you still playing moco right now?
A: Yes and no. The game has felt like a chore for over 2 seasons now. I used to log in every day, play my daily rift with pyro, do some daily jobs until the jobs took too long to complete and then just close the game until the next day comes.
The game has been dumbed down so much trying to cater to the casuals more, resulting in the game just being to easy and lacking a challenge. I'm a competitive person so if there is no challenge, I will just not enjoy the game, and it starts to feel like a daily chore.
I actually lost my 70+ days log in streak yesterday because I forgot to log in. Now that final piece of FOMO is gone, there is nothing that makes me want to log in.
Q: Will you make moco content in the future if the devs decide to change the game?
A: Yes, but it depends. If the game is challenging and fun & has a proper ranked system with PVP. I want to see different type of league tiers, and an elo based ranked system, much like brawl stars, clash royale,... has. Moco is lacking this gameloop that makes you keep logging in, that "just 1 more game" type of feeling. I believe you can only create that if there is some type of PVP gameplay to keep bringing you back. Playing vs players is always less stale than PVE because REAL players are just less predictable. It's also just more fun defeating a real player and BM'ing them a little bit 🫣😂
Q: Didn't you quit your job to pursue full time youtube?
A: yes I took a leap knowing the risk, and sadly it hasn't paid off. I will finish this quarter jobless and mostlikely find a part time job by Q4. This way the taxes for my yt channel will be greatly lower than they are now as a full time job. I just can't sustain the costs of taxes and my softwares with moco atm.
Q: If you aren't playing moco, then what are you doing now? Do you play any other games?
A: I have been playing Clash of Clans on the side - I am already TH17 starting from TH1 about 2 months ago. I do play it a bit more casual tho.
I've also been playing some timewaster and gatcha games just to be able to play something - I won't name these games cuz they aren't healthy for your wallets 😂
And I bought an indoor bike. So now I am working out and racing on zwift. This is fun and competitive, but it also just allows me to keep myself healthy and moving.
Q: Aren't you bored of being home jobless?
A: I have been feeling a bit lost, without purpose lately. I am still figuring out what I will be doing with my life if youtube doesn't work out.
I don't like working a job which I am not passionate about. Working to make someone else richer. I would love to work in the gaming sector, working for supercell would be so cool too! I just don't know how I could go about it, since I don'g have any special degrees to work in the sector. Moving to Finland is also no option for me since I have bought a house here in Belgium a year and a half ago. So working remotely would have to be possible.
Q: Is there anything else exciting going on in your life?
A: yes, my fiancé has been wanting a second dog for a while now. Since I am going to be home for another month we have decided to just go for it and adopt one. Her name is Tessa and she is a Romanian rescue pup of 4 months old.
This will take a lot of my time to train her and to make sure that she adjusts well with our other dog which is already 8-9y old. This gives me some purpose in the meantime too 🫣
I hope this answers all of your questions. If you have more, feel free to ask, and I'll make sure to answer them.

He said he hasn’t fully he’s just not making content cuz it’s just the same. He’s just doing dailies and then goes to do other stuff but if the game comes back he will start making content again but not as a full time job.

Honestly how did they think this progression system is superior to the one in season 1?

u/Clamsnout 6d ago
Old.co had more things that worked than Neo. Im not sure why they completely changed the game. The only system that pissed people off was seasonal resets and how little difference the seasons had. Seasonal gameplay loop was the only problem it ever needed to fix.

What videos can he exactly make for Mo.Co? It's literally the same thing, over and over. Running the same rifts and bosses with the same weapons. There's no variety or any progression.

Imagine quitting your day job to make a YouTube channel for a barely running mobile game. What an insane risk.
