US Checking in

The best in years! :)

Queues are fast...We have access to a lot of epics and large variety of new goodies. 29 XP Off people are no longer in the bracket, with the separation again of XP Off queues. Enchants are no longer quite as OP in BGs, either.

Very competitive.

F2P and competitive in the same sentence? lmfao
 
Not really.

Though, I can understand the misconception. :D
 
with new races starting at level 20, that should make the epic attempts, rinse, reroll, repeat process easy
 
finished the quest chain to unlock maghar orcs (my first allied race).. made a warrior, made a shaman.. then promptly logged off. absolutely 0 desire to farm epics god damn it
 
Thank you, that was helpful. Are vet enchants a big advantage in instanced pvp, or not so much?

Crusader is really big. Satyr is moderately useful. Rest are all pretty negleable

Have I got a video for you!

Damn, I only watched this so I could laugh at Chops... but that was some genuine quality content!
  • Information-dense without sounding "scripted".
  • Rapidly-paced without sounding "forced".
  • Comfortable in front of the camera without sounding "smug".
  • Engaging despite covering material most of us already "know".
I give it "Two Ears-Up". :D

If you're serious about these videos, the "production values" could use some minor tweaks... but regardless, I look forward to seeing more.
  • If you're going to use a UI-frame as a "visual aid" in a YouTube video, you gotta' zoom-in on that shit... either with your recording/editing software, or just scaling the desired frame with a /console command.
  • You're wearing the same headset as your previous video, but the audio sounds like your microphone is in another room or something. Regardless of the quality of your mike, you should either:
    • ...keep it close-enough to your mouth that your voice "drowns-out" any environmental echoing, or
    • ...do a modicum of sound-proofing to nearby surfaces (hang a blanket on large bare walls, drag a mattress onto hardwood floors, etc... or if that's a hassle, you can invest in a cheap "folding room-divider", hang a few dollars of foam "egg crate" padding on the back of it, and position it directly behind you whenever you need to record something).
  • ...and of course, once that Phat YouTube Ca$h™ starts rolling in, you might consider consulting one of the many recent "Vlogging Guides" online, and overhauling your whole setup (and then I guess buy XP-Off, since that's the trendy thing to do these days). ;)

Appreciate the feedback! Most of the production value issues are me just being a cheap bastard. The headset came with the computer and is predictably bad, the web cam is so old I don't even remember buying it, etc.

But these particular audio issues were 100% my fault. OBS recorded off my cam instead of my mic and I didn't catch it. But because this was like... take 3564674 (shout out to my dog for being an asshole) I just let it ride.
