  1. Camera is fine, but you could try to put your image close to the edges so it doesnt just float in the picture, also you could use a moving image like something with fire and moving animations if isnt much work for you, aside that im really happy to know that the sieges that i really love from Lineage 2 have been brougth to this game's siege system, plus adding things from BDO and maybe Aion, sounds amazing and i cant wait to see it once the NDA is lifted.

  2. Sieges sound like a fiesta of craziness and fun! Excited for the drama behind these sieges in the future. Though, I am a bit worried for the direction of the game since Jeffrey Bard left yesterday. So, I hope the direction of the game stays the same like now since it’s awesome.

  3. Personally the image quality is not bad, you might try to zoom in or bring the camera closer while reducing the size of the window. It will be more of you and less of the area around you, just a thought..

  4. Hey, I dont know, how much of the in-game mechanics are in place right now or how much they could have been modified by the GMs for this test. I am realy curoius about mana management in this kind of situation. You mentioned mages spamming aoe attacks. How fast were they running out of mana? Are there ways to get additional mana quickly? Etc. mana potions or specialist class, who can recharge mana for others… Thanks for the content, I am super excited about the game and your straight to the hard facts approach is amazing.

  5. wow that whole siege concept sounds so fun I can't wait to actually play in one someday. btw I think your camera looked perfectly fine b4 you changed it and now it kinda looks off but its not a big issue IMO

  7. I'll be honest, not a fan of the angle, it looks like you're slouching, or, like, laying on your bed or couch. The quality seems fine, but my monitor is 24" 1920×1080.

  8. I would say that during the entire Siege I had at least 60 people on my screen most of the time.
    But there were definitely at least 300 people
    The [Virtue] of the Siege was "I got [Wood II]". LOL

  9. When recording, check the bitrate you're recording at and the resolution your camera is recording at. During default settings it might be lower than you want it to be.

  10. I logged back on but too late for the siege testing. But I am so happy to hear your enjoyment even during a test. I truly hear that you enjoyed yourself from your voice. I would have liked to be a fly on the wall to hear what Steven was saying when he was being pulled from his goal. I bet he was having a blast as I think that unexpected tactic is something he enjoys. I think you hit it by saying it was the people and voice that added to the excitement.

  11. You know the game is going to be great when the reaction of a tester to the siege is just so pure and you can tell it made you happy to experience that!

  12. Bro, I was there with you guys. Character was kadmus. So, much fun. And it was honestly a breath of fresh air in a time where mmorpg’s pretty much just give you everything when you hit max level. These systems when fleshed out will be awesome! Will see you next week as well. Great video!!

  13. Notes for your camera – If you plan on being a legit content creator, I'd recommend investing in a DSLR camera and hooking it up to your computer rather than a web cam. Resolution only gets you so far. A true DSLR has a much better lens, captures lighting better, has less noise, etc. Any big name streamer uses a DSLR camera (that's why they look so good haha). There's lots of info online about professional camera setups, from fairly cheap to very expensive and anywhere in between.

  14. Four out of five people I know are planning on playing a tank. Why?
    Is the tank class the only class that will be able to tank?
    What about a fighter/tank?
    If you plan on tanking do you think being a tank/tank will be mandatory?
    I don't want to roll with 4 tanks!
