  MikeB video show how easy it is to clobber together a spectator view. Seems just about everything is rendered.
  
  Lol, can you post a screenshot of the spectator mode from the private server. lol

    is implemented only in arenas where you have an npc who gives you the list of games and raitings and you chose what you want to watch

Guildwars2 did the email on the screen because of the NDA. If someone posted a pic they made their email available which also made it easy for ANet to drop them from the beta.

It was not because they wanted to track down private servers.

  No worries, no one made that connection on the show, so I don’t think any of the viewers will either.

    Wasn’t this old news? I remember something about Blizzard putting in this information to catch Death Knight screenshots. But, I cant find an article on the webz.

I hope they won’t change too much undead animation… It’s amazing and feels great. hehehe WoW players whine but still pay, so blizz don’t give a fuk

Compare gold in WoW and gold in GW2 is stupid… In GW2 you won’t get tons of gold droping from mobs, I think even after a while we won’t see retarded gold amounts like in WoW.
Normalization items in pvp in WoW = banned all pve items from pvp like in gw2
About 10 mil players, zero new players only alts. It doesn’t matter how populated sever is if 95% of this population sit in org or sw. When I leveled my warr, never left city just que for dung as tank…

MoP is going to be a interesting expansion, for the first time in wows history 10 man raiding is the pinnacle of raiding in wow now, with over 92% of guilds being 10 man and paragon also gone 10 man (which was out of there control) it’s where the competition is at.

I expect a lot more top end guilds to drop down. 25 man raiding is officially the B league now.
Posted on manaflask.

“It’s crazy, the last 25 man raiding guild on my realm is going 10man for MoP, they saying with over 90% of all raiding guilds being 10man and now the best guild in cataclysm going 10man that’s where the real competition is now. It’s a real shame what’s happened to the game. Not only is 25 man raiding much harder to manage outside of raids it’s now being seen by many as the inferior competitive format now by the playerbase. Crazy what blizzard has done.”

  Yep, I can believe it. The largest guild on my realm is running 6 10-man raids. The top guild runs 2 10-man raids. If you are a highly competitive raiding team, you run 1 tank, 2 heals and 7 dps, with the dps that can switch to off tank and heals as needed.
  
  The ten man raids just lead to less drama/trauma within the group. Less hurt feelings over legendary weapons and loot drops.
  
  What I would love to see is the return of 40/25-man single boss raids. While we are getting the two world bosses in MoP, I do miss the large single boss instanced raids. You get four raid teams together and tackle a 40 man raid boss.

this show needs to be longer, i juts love it. Maybe go over more of the “everyday” blue posts and discuss them. And maybe dedicated a segment to ghost crawlers tweets lol

  Sounds like we would need to have food delivered to the hosts for the show to be longer.

Cross realm zones need GW2 systems to work right, I.E. resource nodes for all and especially no mob tagging.
- http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr
  
  Not so sure about that. While allowing everyone to tag mobs and gather from nodes works for GW2 (annoying when players tag a skill challenge and run off.)
  
  WoW competitive resource gathering works (as long as the bots are under control.) While I can understand why players who are happy with low pop servers are happy with zones to themselves, I am enjoying seeing more opposing factions out in the world.
  
  I was glad to see the “group” level mini-boss in Mist of Pandaria did not have tagging. This allow you to join the fight, without a group invite or having to wait for a respawn.

    i WANT to be able to say “oh look a player, great we can work together”, but with the system right now it’s more like “oh shit! a player i better step up my game or they will tag my kills and steal my nodes.”

I hate the fact that when you click on the screen, now, it goes to another site and starts the video again instead of pausing it like it use to. If I wanted to use the other site, I’d be there already. I want to watch it on gamebreakertv.com’s site, dammit.

Brilliant show as usual, thanks guys =)
