Then don't watch them and stop complaining in every single topic. =)

Worgen. That kind of destroyed the mood, and kind of enhanced it.

Pretty solid movie, imo.

Playing a worgen was probably a necessity to get 1vN world pvp footage. It seemed to me that the worgen content was stronger than the undead content overall.

Said my opinion already in other thread, heres hes armories btw.

Undead

Worgen

when i think destro drake come sin my mind first....

ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. Also the fact that his worgen was actually bad geared instead of model editing, which was my first assumption is so fucking badass.

So entertained, also the short machinima at the beginning was flawless. I loved it.

I don't know. I think some people are bitter over Cata, this game is no worse than WOTLK was in a lot of ways as long as you still have friends and a purpose It's fun. It's easy to be nostalgic when you've been around forever.

On topic: I quite liked the video, the editing was quite good as was the game-play. Then again I don't have an issue watching 1 v 1's because it generally means the player was of better quality than those in 1 v x's.

I agree with Mintii and Exactly. DD9 was prolly his masterpiece because editing was awe and footage too, this one was cool but I was kinda disapointed because this edit was really different than the previous movie, and the scenes not comparable to it either.

I may have a different view on this compared to you guys.
I absolutely like this movie and I liked DD9 the same way.
It's not about 1vWorld, not about uberskill or defeating skilled players.

It's about having something on your mind, the creativity behind this whole stuff is the whole thing.
To explain this: have you ever watched... let's say "MacGyver"?
I loved the series but if you just watch the episodes alone they honestly aren't that good, but the character behind all this and the story which continues about this guy is what keeps people viewing.

DrakeDog is very similiar. He created back in the days this iconic figure and just creates movies with his style, blowing me completely away just by the whole... well, scenario I get from this.
Everytime I watch DD I'm a little bit jealous and a little bit sad that I decided to play affliction a long time ago (I still love this specc (especially for BGs) but destruction just looks awesome if played this way).

DD9 had the same complaints about like those posted above.
Guys, I don't care about that.

My 2 cents ^.^

I wasn't satisfied at all, I was slightly entertained but my expectations were way higher than what I was given, the editing was very inconsistent and was questionable a lot of the times, take one machinima scene where you see a moon and it looks like a white circle, looks like something I could create in Photoshop and my PS skills are without doubt the worst, it was a joke to say the least.

Another scene would have to be where you saw nothing but the player frames and in some scenes he showed CC while in others he didn't, this was quite questionable as well why do something this way then half thru out the movie decide not to do it, felt incomplete, not to mention abnormal.

Another scene was when the song "Blue Stahli - Take Down" ended when the scene wasn't finished then when the scene was 90% done the song begun again this was really the biggest flaw I managed to spot, it was just completely awful.

The music was decent nothing I'd listen to on a regular basis excluding Blue Stahli & Crossfade, not going to hate on the music as it is a personal preference it seemed to interact with the movie (excluding Take Down).

The gameplay was rather below average, seeing several 1v1 wasn't too satisfactory not to mention countless clips where all people apparently had no idea where they placed the interrupt button was just sad, overall I agree with Exactly, to say the least Cataclysm destroyed this movie, what I did like was the worgen section as it was rather refreshing.

DD 7 BEAST!!

3/5

I was so fucking bored of it 4 minutes in the movie. Every time the same story - short machinima, same old editting, same old music, it's like a deja vu really, I'm just sooo dissapointed...

The problem with 1v1s in a BG setting is that you have no way of knowing if the opponent has all his CDs available or not. It's really hard to tell if someone is "good" if you don't know what they are working with.

1v1s in movies should mainly be restricted to duels. In a BG setting, 1v1s should be fights against someone with exceptional gear or an exceptional title or a fight where an exceptional move of some type was made to win the fight.

All, IMO.

I wouldn't call that a flaw since it was obviously done intentionally to build some sort of tension in the fight. It's effectiveness can certainly be argued, of course. It's not something I've seen anyone else do before in a movie, so I will give the editor some credit for thinking outside of the box and trying something different.

Of course it was done intentionally but it wasn't good in my own opinion, he waited too long one can argue. It was not good at all in my own opinion.

He matches up changes in the clips to changes in the songs. When you do this you have a lot of decisions to make since it's almost always the case that when you lay down a clip (or clips) to a song that the transitions do not match up perfectly.

Do you speed clips up or slow down clips to match things up? Do you cut out entire parts of the fights? Goo does both throughout the film, since it's clearly important to him that the transitions in the clips match the transitions in the songs.

In this case, I'm thinking he dropped the song as both a tension builder and as another way to match up transitions. He wanted to keep that particular footage in its entirety without speeding it up or slowing it down. It was just another way to get around syncing up footage. Creative, IMO. Maybe not effective, although I did like the way it built back up into the song.
