Its been a while since I posted some videos.  Mostly due to me not playing as much, as Phoenix Throne got pretty unbalanced for a while which made the game a lot less fun; but Order has been making a comeback recently and there's been a lot more fighting, which means I gots some videos! =)

Gratuitous Use of Eeek!

I stumbled upon Ceelee (WH), Phez (SH) and Izzzo (Choppa) near the ambush stump in Reikland, engaged with about 4 order.  And they were losing!  Ack!  I start recording as I approach the fight and within the first 15 seconds Izzzo and Ceelee both die and Phez kites out of my range, things weren't looking too good... and to make things worse even more order shows up!



Back and Forth at the Fortress
The Shining Way fortress was under siege and order was hanging out near the front, preventing destruction from approaching.  I found a small group of order there and we played a bit of back and forth attacking, with their ranged dps pelting me and their witch hunter constantly trying to flank me =)



That's all I got for today, hope you enjoyed =)

I like the idea of posting weekly RvR videos.  Except, I haven't played this week!  Things were just a little too busy for me.  But, I played quite a bit last week and have a few extra videos from then.  These are a little more B quality videos I suppose, but hopefully still entertaining enough, and with 1.2.1 going live today, maybe I'll have more interesting ones next week =)

Sinikin and Zzztopper
Just before this video starts I was fighting 1vs1 with Zzztopper (Ironbreaker); Sinikin (Shadow Warrior) joins the fight so I eeek both into the river and start filming! =)  About half way through the video a Warrior Priest arrives as well!




Nazgum and Sogeou vs Draxous, Mythrendir, Bellagen

This was a really close fight!  Bellagen (Warrior Priest), Draxous (Sword Master) and Mythrender (Knight) charged me and Sogeou in Eataine.  I had a seriously hard time healing Sogeou, as both tanks seemed to spam their Shatter Enchantment type skills and hit hard!  I also make lots of mistakes this fight >_<



Ottosel and Schmidbauer
This is a short video that takes place just north of the Order warcamp in Reikland where Ottosel (Warrior Priest) and Schmidbauer (Knight) charge me!  The Knight appears momentarily confused after my first eeek, perhaps realizing his advantage may have disappeared =)

Phoenix Throne has been a lot of fun this past week.  Despite the sometimes zergyness, fun fights happen far more often then on Ostermark, and a few weeks out now I'm glad the transfer happened.  Of course, me having fun on the server means I got more videos to share! =)

Omnifury, Lionel and more by the cliff
This video starts with me fighting Omnifury the Witch Hunter just south of Wilhelm's Fist in Reikland.  The fight moves near the cliff where a few more order enter the picture =)



"The Zerg!"

This is just a short video I caught that I thought was pretty humorous.  It starts with a 1vs1 in Reikland, that quickly becomes a 1vs2, and then a large Order Zerg shows and the chase is on!



Meeting Sogeou
It's always fun to try and pick an outnumbered fight. This starts with me fighting Kerwin the Witch Hunter and an SM.  Shortly into the fight Sogeou the Sorcerer shows, along with a few Order reinforcements =)



Fighting with Sogeou
After running into each other in Reikland, me and Sogeou decided to team up!  We ended up having a lot of fun fights, but one of the more fun ones from the night was actually against a little army of mostly non-40s we fought in Eataine.  Despite them being lower level they put up a tough fight, and had 2 healers (a RP and a WP) so were difficult to take down.



Hope you enjoyed!  Overall its been a pretty fun week in War, and I'm finding quite a few fun fights =)

Phoenix Throne has definitely taken some getting used to.  The server is far more populated then Ostermark and fights are often interrupted.  Many players hit harder on PT and seem to have much better gear.  I was getting a little frustrated the first two days, but I'm learning to pull players out of main roads before engaging and to be more cautious against dps classes, and am starting to have some fun fights again.  So with that little intro, onto some videos! =)

Video 1: Luan (WL) and Gynnon (SM)
A few minutes prior to this video starting, I came across Luan the White Lion at the Order Warcamp in Eataine; my first encounter with him I was unaware he hit so hard and was a little careless and ended up losing; being a stubborn gobbo I immediately went back and found him again; the video starts with me /scream'ing at Luan outside the Order Warcamp. =)



Video 2: Khyrons (WH) and Mercin (Slayer)
Destruction was sieging the west keep in Eataine so I setup between the Order warcamp and there to see who I could catch trying to make it to the keep to reinforce it; I find Khyrons, but shortly into our fight order reinforcements arrive..



Video 3: Namaste (WH) and Maslaire (WL)
While lurking around in the alleys near the Order Warcamp in Praag, Namaste unstealthed on me with some pretty nasty hits =)




That's all I got from friday, hope ya enjoyed =)

Transfers from Ostermark to Phoenix Throne have gone through for most people now, and I spent a few hours playing on my new home today.  What's it like?  Definitely different then Ostermark, some good and some bad.  The good is there is way more people to fight, which is awesome.  The bad is the server itself appears to be way more laggy then Ostermark, which is frustrating; hopefully its temporary due to transfers or something..

But despite the lag I've had fun on PT already and even have a new video to share! woot! =) 

Video Intro:  I was roaming around looking for a fight in Praag when Miriyn the Witch Hunter unstealthed on me.  We began fighting near the Southern Keep; but of course, as often occurs in WAR, an add showed!  Falanos the Warrior Priest!  Being new to the server I wasn't sure who Miriyn or Falanos were, but I wanted to try and fight them!  But how do you beat a warrior priest and a witch hunter as a shaman?  The video starts with them chasing me north of the southern keep and I just cut off the road..



Unfortunately as you can see in the video, 3 destruction showed up at the very end and ruined its! hehe.  But Falanos was extremely close to dying with a lot of mobs and Gork Sez Stop on her just before the dest showed, they barely hit her.  If they never showed she may have died there and then I had my chance at the WH 1vs1 and a much nicer video, but alas!  This was still fun =)

Last night I ran fraps to capture some fights from what was supposed to be Ostermark's last night (the transfers got delayed til tomorrow); a few final battles to say farewell to our sworn enemies on Ostermark, the stunties, humies and elves with funny hats!


Video #1: Nazgum, Gruunk and Lokyar
The first video is of Me, Gruunk and Lokyar in Dragonwake, looking for a fight perhaps a little too near their warcamp; which ends up resulting in many Order reinforcements.




Video #2: Nazgum vs Keldoran and Aisle
I only ended up running solo for about 30 minutes before teaming up with Gruunk last night, but I managed to capture one short fight near the southern keep in Chaos Wastes, with the lil stunty Keldoran and a Witch Hunter



Video #3: Nazgum, Gruunk, Lokyar, Chowskin and Overkill
Biggest fight last!  We had almost a full group and the fight starts off with a 5vs5 in front of the Order warcamp (we apparently failed to learn from our first video hehe).  The fighting quickly becomes us 5vs7 and then spirals into even worse odds, but we manage to take a few out with us ;)



All in all it was a good last night with lots of fun fights. (many in addition to the above videos!)

Mythic has locked Ostermark.  The war now rages on Phoenix Throne!
