Annnd a random Zeratul video. Pretty tense moment a few minutes in.  This is another game we won pretty handily, but our team does a bit more dying.

So my problem was that I can't both be zoomed out and follow my character at the same time. Recorded a couple from my proper POV, showing where I'm clicking, putting my camera, etc. This first one was just a silly stomping in the Garden.

Nice, I'm glad to know they're fun to see!  I can only do it now because it's so easy with HotS. They save all of the replays in a folder that you can go into Watch mode in game and see, so I just record them there, after the fact. Clip a few seconds off the beginning and the end of a capture, and ta-da!

This game just felt good all around. :3

I'm actually super curious as to how our one group of mercs just steamrolls theirs and starts hitting their fort... Going to take a peek at the replay again tonight.

As discussed/requested, the Infernal Shrines comeback!

I watched this a few times to get the capture, and it's a bit stunning how just capturing a couple key merc camps made such a huge difference in this game. They kill us... a LOT. Really a lot. And they just don't capitalize properly on their victories. They could have painted the map red and let the camps do their work for them, but they just wouldn't leave their punisher, even when they had four of us dead and me down to 15% health. They take a couple camps throughout the game but one of them is countered by ours, another is way too late and just serves to pull their Xul out of position, and the other(s) just have very little impact on anything.

I have allll the video. I'm recording these from the Watch mode. =)

We definitely had some good ones! I felt pretty wincey watching my Diablo; I think my main problem was that I was playing as though we had a support. Other problems include a couple ill-advised dives, and a couple wrong targets. Gotta say that pressuring Tracer while Sonya has < 100 hp within melee range is not a great move.  I'll take that performance at 2am after an entire night's worth of booze though!

Tried recording a full match! Our last match of the night after you went to bed Kytn. Another crazy ending.

Looks like my only problem was that I didn't realize that I actually play HotS at 2715x1527, so I swapped resolutions to capture the next one. Also the quality really cleans up at 0:11 but I have no idea why.

Just a little something I thought might make a fun test upload. The quality ended up pretty bad but hooray first youtubes. =p

Wow! Grats lol. What did the calc say your chances were? Did you get super lucky?

Main note of interest:

• The number of Blackstones needed to force an enchantment has been lowered.

Pretty sure that's the joke :X

I will definitely be powering heroes to 5. Even this week's free rotation prior to Friday is a lot for me to get through!

Xul, Butcher, Morales, Stitches, Illidan, Tyrande, Gazlowe

This weekend from Friday at 11:00am PDT to Monday at 11:00am PDT all heroes are free to play.

Also, from Friday through to two mondays from now, 4/18, everyone gets 50% bonus XP.

I guess their Heroes of the Dorm tournament was a big success. =)

Oh man, you missed TWO golden opportunities to just go "Broegadyn".

Welcome!

Congratulations! Eve chapter officerin' up. I like it.

Lol. You're so right. Well, what's one more week.. >.>

Notables:

• Dehaka introduced!!! Pls help me wait until he goes to 10k gold to buy him. Such excite.
• New map, available exclusively in Custom mode. One lane, no mercenary camps; simply fight through the opponent's Fort, Keep, and Core to win. No hearthstones are available, and your base won't heal you.
• Quick Cast can now be set on a per-ability basis.
• Garden Terror's Overgrowth no longer damages anything. It simply prevents structures from firing. Its duration and health have been drastically increased.
• Huge Talent changes to Illidan, Kael'thas, Tychus, Gazlowe, and Sylvanas.
• Most Block effects increased from 50% damage reduction to 75% damage reduction.

And lots of other shit.

That's good info, thanks. I hadn't considered that, though I like to think I'd have noticed when I saw how the reward was delivered. Very good info on the lifespan of the skill reset item, though; that's super important.

It's a hidden quest in the game. =p

Congrats =)

That guide is really good; thanks for finding it. I'd been kind of just working off of a build guide I found somewhere, and I've been successful enough in PvE (I've only died once and that was to easy mobs after I'd been drinking ). I've kept my Evasive Attack and Evasion maxed, as well as Bolt/Jolt, Scratch, and Trample. It doesn't match his lvl 45 build very much at all, but I like it so far. I'll consider respeccing into something closer to what he has later on, since I do like his rationale, and what's worked so far in PvE I'm sure needs tweaking and refinement to be good in PvP.

I cheated. :3
