Thanks for putting together Buildcast guys. I like this format much better then you did in episode 1. Will the 4th panel member be back? I personally like it with the 3, keeps the comments and evaluations shorter and more to the point.

Here are my recommendation for the show:
1. Create image slide(s) to show the build traits, slotted skills, stats and equipped gear. It is hard to see clearly on the video with 480p, a slide or two showing it in larger text/numbers would make it much clearer for viewers.
2. When showing the match itself, please do not put the “bar” at the bottom of the screen. It covers the skill bar and health, so it is almost impossible to see what skills are being used at what points in the characters health levels. Allowing us to keep an eye on it will allow your viewers to make recommendations or generate questions on what should have been done instead at specific points.

Those are my primary recommendations so far. Create image slides that give the viewers the finer details that we can actually read and see clearly on a 480 stream/video. When showing the actual match footage to evaluate, please don’t put the bottom bar there so we can see the skills/health.

OMG!  Mr. Park you are a calculation/spreedsheet king……….very nice too hear your tips

The problem with downed state is the classes that have a knockback ability to use while in downed. It is too powerful for one or 2 to have that and the other not  have something like that.

I figure it’s probably hard to do while you don’t have access to the servers but at some point in the future when the game is live I would really like to see a show about each class one by one.
Taking the Warrior for example you could set up maybe 3 different PvP builds, one with a Rifle that is focused on bleeds, one thats more supportive with healing shouts and a melee based damage build (these are just random types for an example) and then go through each build, the theory behind it and what it’s trying to achieve and the traits and runes that synergise well with each one.  There doesn’t have to be gameplay footage for each one as the theorycrafting is why I like the show in the first place.
You could also then use a part of each of the class specific shows to use Matt’s idea to show people the animations for each classes big attacks so people who don’t play that class know what to look out for.

Also, rather than taking someone else’s build every week, maybe sometimes Matt and Ed could take a general concept (a Ranger that uses conditions from this weeks show) and then they could create a build and explain how they went about constructing it, why they chose certain talents, weapons and runes.  (This is purely so you can show builds from a different perspective, rather than taking someone else’s build and saying “I would have done this instead” it’s a case of saying “Here is why I did this”, both are equally valid, I just like the ground up approach from people who obviously know what they are doing).

Love the show though, my personal preference is more Matt and Ed talking about the in’s an out’s of a build and less sitting through game play, but that’s just me.

Great show guys! I really like the format, I have not been a big PvP’er but this will help me improve my game and want to play it some more. I’m really learning a lot listening to you guys critiquing the build and play style in the video.Thanks!
