Holy Moly, Bright Wizard pwnage

This reinforces my thought that one of our Bright Wizards should be running Fraps instead of me.

Watch this video from the guild Exodus on an EU server from the perspective of a RR74 BW. Great music, awesome fights.

Ultimate Dragonwake ORVR fight

Perle — Mon, 25 May 2009 13:34:50 +0000

I’ve been playing around with Fraps quite a lot lately. Here is another fight from May 17, where FOTF, TS and some other folks ran to look for the Destro zerg. And boy, did we find them!

What followed was a fight from the big bridge in Dragonwake all the way to the Destruction warcamp. The fight actually lasted about seven minutes, but I compressed the entire thing down to three. Enjoy!

Such an intense, crazy fight!

On another note, FOTS (as we now call the combination of Fight on the Flag and Temporal Space) has been avoiding keep assaults. We timed how long it took for us to get through the first and second doors of a rank four keep: nearly half an hour. That was with two warbands banging on the door.

By the way, no new videos until I get a special project completed. Hopefully I will have more word of said project in the coming week.

FotFail: BO failure last weekend

Perle — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:52:12 +0000

I thought I’d also show the failures of our RVR attempts. Sunday in Chaos Wastes, we were trying to prevent a BO capture. Problem was, we were in the far south of the zone when it was taken, and the BO was to the north. We decided to try to kill Destro anyway, even though we wouldn’t get the cap.

Ugh, nine verses at least a warband. That was really painful.

For those of you on Twitter, I wanted to let you know that Fight on the Flag now has a Twitter account. Actually, we started it a long time ago, back when we started the game, and haven’t used it since. I plan to use TweetDeck to follow other Warhammer tweeters.

South KV keep defense

Thought I would throw up another video of FOTF/TS taking down two warbands of Destruction at the south keep in Kadrin Valley. This was one of those ultimate Warhammer moments I will never forget. (Click HQ to view in high quality.)

Khaevil was talking in this, but unfortunately I had him muted (we are in the same room after all).

I was really skeptical that we would win this fight, and yet we did. Look at all of the Destruction! I am pretty sure we were the only people there. If we weren’t there was maybe a handful of Order with us. Great teamwork all around!

Garrison of Skulls ambush

Perle — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:51:36 +0000

Here’s a short video from a fight in Praag. We heard a warband of Destro was attacking the north keep in Praag, Garrison of Skulls. We came up behind them and ambushed them. (Use HQ mode.)

That’s Organdonar who accidentally punted the group of them away. Oops! I Like how he was all casual “Who did that?”

Tons of fun fights last weekend. Sunday we had an awesome, rolling six-minute fight from the big bridge in Dragonwake down to the Destro warcamp. I’ll edit that footage down to two minutes or so and post it later.

Keep doors and Perle’s first PVP video!

Perle — Sun, 17 May 2009 13:20:24 +0000

Yesterday’s PVP wasn’t too bad. Granted, the doors in our path are so high-level that it literally takes us an hour to get through two of them. It’s getting to be ridiculous.

Realm vs. Door is an entirely new kind of fight. It’s filled with long stretches of boredom and periodic killing.

Anyway, here’s a video of some of the PVP action. This was from a short fight (about 3-4 minutes) at Chillwind Manor after we got tired of trying to bash the doors down.

I should mention there were just seven members in the group (you can see from the video in my Squared interface). I am guessing there were at least three groups of Destro in Chillwind (someone had a mod that said about 22 Destro were at the BO).

I apologize for the spliced video clips in there (there are three). I only have the trial version of Fraps, which only allows 30-second clips. We actually almost wiped at one point, but because me lying on the ground staring at a wall is boring I did not include that clip.

Feeback on my video capturing is welcome. My feedback to the Destro: Don’t go AFK at a Battlefield Objective!
