Akcope

Akcope 4 is out, yes, but unfortunately the blog system didn’t let me in.

I have suggested WCM to remake the blog system and forum system to get more WCM-ish like and Uzbeki noticed it and replied, they will work on it.

Alright, as the title says, the movie is 90% done and I’m glad that I can say that I will release it as i promised - before the start of the next season.

What’s left to do:

Last one or two secenes ( They are done actually but I was excited that I’m finishing the movie and was all fast fast about it so they definetly need some shaping)

Intro (Partly done)

Outro

Trailer - As I said i wanna release one before the full movie Kicks in.

Be ready to hear from me soon!

As I promised, I’m posting a state of Akcope 4. It is quite advanced, we could say. As I mentioned, I already have all footage needed, and only thing I need to finish is the editing now. I spent a lot of hours on it, and really tried for it to be good. About 5 minutes are finished so far.

However, do not expect anything awesome. Just a decent editing job, I could say, so far my best and hardest work.

Also, I have learned how to render, so the movie will be out in two versions:

1) Same rendering as my previous movies, but better quality as this is done by Fraps and i haven’t pre-rendered the files to reduce size. The size of the final product stays the same.

2) High Quality - This is where the nice stuff comes in, the quality should be almost same as if you were playing the game. The size of the final product should be about 900mb / 20 min.

I also want to release a trailer fairly soon! So keep on track with the site and my blog

Right, I was solving problems with this blog system ever since I started this blog, but now it is getting really bad. I am even considering moving the blog if it’s not sorted soon. I am not good in making web sites although I have some little experience with aspx. Not really enough to make my own blog though.

Instead of whining endlessly, let me just sum up the problems here:

1) Troubles logging in. Sometimes I need to put the password in several times to actually get into the system, and yes, I type it right and in the proper case.

2) Letters. The blog sometimes randomly transforms some letters into a diffirent ones after I post, and trust me, it is not fun fixing it in long posts.

3) Links. Honestly, do any of the Blog clickables really work? Have you tried getting into previous entries or the archive? I cannot even see what I have posted in the past myself.

4) Emoticons. These don’t work. When I use an emoticon, the emoticon is not where it should be. It is moved at the begining of the line instead.

5) Header. What the hell? If you check it now it is blank. I tried to re-upload it, but it keeps being blank, please hit me if its just me >_>

6) Spam filter. There is no spam filter in comments so I have to filter them out and approve them myself… 20 spam comments a day, click per spam comment, managable, however annoying. One of the lesser problems.

7) Problems with the formatting. The posted text doesn’t usually look the same when I write it.

Minor problems in the system, sometimes my unfinished saved posts just dissapear from the database. Thank god i save them on my PC too.

Anyway, you see that the problems are getting really bad, the latest one is the header, that kinda winded me up but meh. I will continue posting here until Akcope 4 is made at least, and then see if I want to change. Anyway, writing a post about that right now.

PS: I think that Erunno feels the same way.

Yeah, it already looks like it! Seems that I have gotten enough footage and will get the last bits today and tommorow in wsg. Surely I will also have to review the quality and check the length of all the clips, but I think that I am good to go! As the material is quite fun! For a crit movie anyway, Akcope 5 will be from arena again.

Anyway, as I said, I won’t title the movie as Akcope 4, I have decided to call it otherwise. The current possibilities are:

Akcope 3,5 : Level 60 Madness
Akcope 3,5 : Back to 60
Akcope 3,5 : Clearing bg’s (As someone suggested in comments It’s quite a fitting title as you will see)

If you have some suggestions for a name, feel free to post them here! I am always open to people’s suggestions!

See you on monday!

So yeah, as i promised a comedy movie in the weekend, here it comes!

This movie features me and some of my friends making the orgrimmar auctioneers dissapear for about 3 hours and the results.

Right, I dont know why, but my account on filefront has been wiped out, so I am going to re-upload all my movies to a diffirent streaming site.

Akcope 2 and 3 are already uploaded on Vimeo and the streams are working, gonna sort the rest of the movies during the week.

-Akc

Just to sum up the last days of recording - I have got a LOT of usable clips, but I have noticed that there is a lot of face smashing lower levels and using bubble in every clip etc… The good fact is, that it often is 1v7 etc.

Anyhow, after realising that, I decided that I will take no more AV clips, and will focus on WSG and AB, where I will fight high levels. Already got a clip of me killing 3 level 65+’s. I will try to make the movie the best quality possible.

Also, the movie probably will not be called Akcope 4, as it is not of my level 80 character on which all these movies have been made. Not sure about the name yet, but as soon as I make one up, I will let you know.

Last thing - I have recently recorded and finished a comedy movie, it will be coming shortly in the weekend - Stay tuned!

So as I promised, I finally started, and got to record something today. Let me tell you something about the movie.

This will be my first movie recorded with Fraps, I had to reduce the gfx settings of wow so my PC could take it, until now, everything was recorded on gamecam, so it had pretty shitty quality, but that is not the case of this movie.

The movie will be a paladin one, but it will feature my level 60 paladin twink. He has the top gear and no longer obtainable mace Might of Menethil, so the movie will feature some nice faceroll.

This alt is on Magtheridon-EU, it is a server which has pretty nice 60 activity in it, and I have migrated here from my main’s server Thunderhorn, where the twink activity has gotten too serious, everyone goes engineering and that is just not the fun anymore.

I got 4 clips for the movie from today’s recording, of which i will definetly use at least two, I might not use the other two after reviewing for the best possible quality of the movie, but I need to think about that first.

I will also release a small trailer a week or so before the release of the full movie, so look forward to the movie, if you like faceroll critting and 5v1 situations, probably with some nice editing!

More reports about recording to come soon! Goodbye for now

People whine whatever they get, yes. But what most do not realise, is the insane potential and FUN that the 3.2 ret has to offer. Let me explain.

- Exorcism: Now has a 1.5 second cast time, but can once again be used on players.

Now, this is a great damage boost to us, the biggest buff in the patch, it is a great opener, makes you think twice before you use it, and it is even made instant by AoW.

- Hand of Reckoning: Redesigned. Now does damage only when target does not currently have the caster targeted, but damage done increased to 50% of attack power, occurring after the taunt effect is applied.

So, I’m not sure if this is usable in PvP or not next patch, but i can say: if it works, then it is FREAKING AWESOME! A non-gcd ranged spell that if used right crits for 4000, what else would you want.

- Crusader Strike: Damage reduced to 75% weapon damage to match the new 4 second cooldown.

Nothing much to say here, lesser burst, same damage, which is good anyway in the current state of PvP.

-Seal of Command: Redesigned. This seal now deals 36% weapon damage on every swing, and deals substantially less judgement damage.

Awesome, no more self damage, the oldschool SoC days come back.

-Seal of Vengeance and Seal of Corruption: These seals have been redesigned to deal substantially more damage. Now, once a paladin has 5 copies of the debuff from these seals on his or her target, on each swing the paladin will deal 33% weapon damage as Holy, with critical strikes dealing double damage.

Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME? Crits dealing DOUBLE DAMAGE, plus a DoT??? If this seal is used well, it becomes a true killer.

-Art of War: Now only applies to melee critical hits, but will make your next Flash of Light or Exorcism instant.

A slight nerf, but reasonable as it makes Exorcism instant as well.

See, it’s not that bad after all, after re-evaluating everything, is it? I am sure that many will share my opinion
