WoW Moviewatch: How to win at PvP

by Michael Gray Sep 11th 2009 at 12:00PM

I don't know if it's something about the mercurial impishness Wowcrendor lends to his videos, or if it's the playful and obvious love he has for the game. But, whatever that intangible quality might be, Wowcrendor's How to win at PvP is a soothing balm for an Alliance member who just can't figure out why they keep fighting on the road.

I liked the video, but it probably ran a little long overall. It could be split out into two different videos. One could have been a "common archetypes you meet in your BG raid" and the other would be "a guide to the different battlegrounds." I don't know. I had fun with each individual piece of the video, so I wouldn't advocate cutting anything out. But a satire that runs at 7 minutes will probably lose audience members by the end.

At the end of the day, I'm a fan of Wowcrendor, and am happy to see him develop this kind of style. It might be time to step up the pace a tad, however, as I think he has the talent to do a lot more.

The thing that gets me in PVP now is lazy achievement whores. Hey, I love achievements as much as anyone else.. I'm proud of my gamerscore on both WoW and Xbox 360 but the next time someone asks me to give them the flag in WSG for the achievement after me and say a priest (I've made 4 different priest friends from various servers in the past two weeks in WSG lol) did all the work of getting the flag in the first place while you stood at our ramp and /danced.. No. Especially not when we have half the ally team on our butts and blowing every possible cooldown just to stay alive while you watch and spam chat. Chances are that if I did pass it to you, they'd grab it before you ever did

Buffing people should be avoid at ALL TIME!
If someone is asking you for buffing at the beginning of the battleground, tell him you are out of mana.

Its true. With enough resilience, a level 40 is greater than the Lich King.

dude, please stop showing this video. Yes, it is funny, but the sad truth is that most alliance players will actually do the things that the video is telling them to do and expect to win. They do not know you are joking lol

Wonderful stuff. Length is fine and the pacing/delivery perfect.

Personally, I can't wait for his tips on raiding. I can see it now:

"For the love of God, stand in the fire! WHY AREN'T YOU STANDING IN THE FIRE!?"

Find it funny that my previous comment was downranked for being a critic and showing my thoughts on the video. Taking the day to day bad habits and making it a 7 minute video, posing these as winning tactics is not funny. I'm willing to give a person respect for pumping out anything and releasing it to the web for people to love or bash. But in my opinion, I didn't laugh at a single gag. Even with the added barrel roll.
