If your maxed out with the covenant you seem to get Explorer's League rep. Maybe its just fills the next none exaled Vanguard rep
SithLlenniuq Nov 13th 2009 4:06PM
You know the sound from the game would be better than listening to someone add lib this.
Reuben Nov 13th 2009 4:13PM
I disagree. I'd find that pretty stale. At least this has personality.
Sean Nov 13th 2009 4:13PM
It's gonna be Tirion that becomes the next Lich King. He'll come in and finish off Arthas at the end of the raid fight, then become him. Hopefully he'll keep enough of his sanity to keep the Scourge from being a threat anymore.

Personally, I thought Darion Mograine would become the next Lich King. Makes sense to me that he would. :)
reservoirpirate Nov 13th 2009 4:26PM
Well that was cool seeing the end... oh wait. Fail.
SithLlenniuq Nov 13th 2009 4:27PM
OMG the person with the cam really sucks. Not as a player, but as a person supposed to be showing us the HoF.
1. STFU, some of us want to hear the game not your rambling.
2. Go and attack the LK... Evidently you didn't prepare for this battle by reading?
Down rate me if you want.
But all in all that video was the biggest waste of my time to not even be able to see the end.
*Sigh* going to play the PTR
reservoirpirate Nov 13th 2009 4:31PM
Agreed. Get someone else to do it please.
BuzzDX Nov 13th 2009 4:33PM
There's a difference between giving constructive criticism and being a douchebag. Clearly, you favor the latter.
Falcon6 Nov 13th 2009 4:36PM
Oh, calm down.
1. You may not want to hear his rambling, but I actually find it amusing...it shows that he likes to play the game and talk about it. And if it was just the game, then you might not figure out some of the small details here and there that only a person could tell you.
2. Yes, it was a silly idea, but give him a break. It's PTR testing...he might as well test what would happen if he stayed there.
Basically, yes, if you think you can test the dungeon better than he can, by all means, do it...PTR is about getting out all the bugs you can.
Reuben Nov 13th 2009 4:50PM
I voted Falcon by up. I don't understand why this has everyone so pissed off. I thought it was fun and amusing. Not everything has to be serious when it comes to this game.

@ SithLlenniuq
Silence heathen! Do not mock The Schramm for he will bring great repentance upon thee!!
But in all seriousness, you're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the epic new 5-mans and listening to the hilarious commentary.
Thanks so much WoW Insider!
Now I want some Saronilla Ice-cream and some Icecrown-Ebon-Ice-cream (I think that has a nice ring to it, especially if you say it fast like one word). Mmmm floor. Om nom *cough*choke*hurl*. Delicious. =P
Jason Nov 13th 2009 4:28PM
That loading screen looks SO much like the Lordaeron Throne Room...
SithLlenniuq Nov 13th 2009 4:46PM
LMAO there is getting the bugs out and there is rushing the LK when anybody who has been reading this site knows the battle is not to kill the LK but get away.
HE IS ONE OF THE EDITORS. Sure its all fun in games to screw around. But when you have over 1k people watching your screen to see the end and you fail like that?
If you like his ramblings... get his podcast.
I want to see and hear the dungeon.
Not listen to his crappy voice acting roleplaying of major toons from the game. It is one thing to tell us what is going on. BUT HE NEVER SHUTS UP.
This video was HIS Pay-Attention-to-my-adhd-antics not See HoR.
He fails in his role to be showing us some thing.
SithLlenniuq Nov 13th 2009 4:47PM
Supposed to me a reply to my post in reply to Falcon6
Falcon6 Nov 13th 2009 5:15PM
You are clearly unable to make even the tiniest mistake in WoW. You are perfect in all walks of life in your WoW trials and your gearscore is clearly above average. Your evidence on how awesome you truly are and how horrible the author was is conclusive. I bow down before your unending epicness, good sir.
...
Look, I'm sorry. You don't like the video. Great. Awesome stuff. Stop watching and move on. It's fairly silly to have buyer's remorse for something you didn't buy in the first place.
You've made your point about how much you disliked his stream. Let's move on.
Go on the PTR and check out the stuff yourself if you really thought his video wasn't up to your "level" of gaming. Don't go onto an Internet blog's comments and try to degrade his work. He didn't have to do this stream at all. He could've just done a written blog about it and left it at that. Frankly, I like commentary in these streams.
And you don't. And that's fine. Let's leave it at that.
Tylenol Nov 13th 2009 4:55PM
Now can you please log on to your Horde toon's so we can see the non sappy version of this encounter.
SithLlenniuq Nov 13th 2009 5:03PM
Just a follow up.
I don't rage much here. (Read my posts and you will see that).
But what I saw on this video was a joke coming from an editor of this website.
This is what I would expect from some person who runs a personal blog / podcast and is not in a level of professionalism that WoW.com is supposed to be.
If you want to have fun, do it in your own time, I am sure I am not alone in wanting to see the dungeon and not listen to Matt.
Then that action at the end with the LK.
That made Leroy Jenkins even /facepalm.
All I am saying is that this was a joke coming from wow.com and I hope he gets a little chat from the higher-ups before they let him do a live video again.
SithLlenniuq Nov 13th 2009 5:08PM
Sorry follow up on my follow up.
Talking to some people in Vent, they are saying maybe he didn't know about the end. That he was supposed to be running and not fighting.
OK I will give him that, but it is the LK.
He is a DPS. His whole team is not there, they are running away. HE IS GOING TO TANK the LK solo?
Either he doesn't know what he is doing in a dungeon and shouldn't have been there.
Or he doesn't know what he is doing as an editor of this site, and still shouldn't have been there.
Thats it, I am done.
/end rage.

"If you want to have fun, do it in your own time, I am sure I am not alone in wanting to see the dungeon and not listen to Matt."
That was actually Mike, not Matt. But yeah, I thought the reason for doing the stream was to show us the instance, and I'd much rather have heard the events from the instance than the narrating (over 5 minutes of how to pronounce "Saron" made me want to stick a spork in my ears).
