    Plays.tv is ass quality. GfE is decent, but its really just a vehicle for the NVENC which is nvidias gpu processed video codec, which is only good if you are using a nvidia card. OBS has NVENC and h.246 (cpu processed codec) and you can adjust your bitrate and everything. Only problem with obs is there is no always running highlight feature that I know of. But with my setup I only lose around 5 fps when I'm recording in 1440@60fps. If I ever get around to editing something together I will post some gameplay footage from obs in eso so you can see it.

    Plus, its free and open source, so that's cool.

    Edit: With like 30 seconds of google searching I discovered that you can do the always running thing like GfE and plays in OBS. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-classic-how-to-use-the-replay-buffer.103/ so apparently I have been *** up and missing recording good fights in vain all this time.

    I'll definitely need to give that a try. I'm sick of GeForce Experience messing up and not saving my highlights properly.

    @ofSunhold if someone wants to spam encase on me I'll actually stop being as studious as I have been and make a build to show how to spam encase properly when in a group. It won't be fun.

    It sounds fun.

    You could take it as a compliment. I only lean hard on encase for people I feeeeeear






    Actually, now that I think about it, that's a big lie. But go with it!

    Today has to be the easiest crowning I've seen in a while!
    When I logged on we only had Ash and Glade was under attack. Only 1 hour and half later, after great PUGz + Thirteen Wolves coordination, we took the ring + Brindle and Arrius! :)

    Had some good fights tonight. DC stood strong. Of course there were a few that were a little too competitive resulting in the flapping of pie holes, but at least there was some good action.

    I don't know much about the politics of past years around here (I've been sub'd since release, and did check the forums once in a while) since I just returned to the game a couple of months ago, but if all of this realm-hopping that some complain about is really happening, I like it. The first month I was back was DC Zerg City and sorta boring (and I'm DC). This past week was excellent fun! We've had massed EP and AD being super aggressive, with clearly far more numbers than DC has. Luckily, DC has guilds like PUGz who are long-term players and even more hyper-aggressive, or we'd get owned even harder. The only thing I don't like about all of this heavy fighting is that my toon levels so darn fast that I'm booted out of BWB right when things are getting interesting.

    I remember back in the days when DAoC launched, realm pride actually meant something (Mid/Perc forevah!), and we'd be mighty angry if we found out someone wasn't 100% loyal. These days, besides the fact that we're all sixteen years older (and over 50, in my case), nobody has much of a sense of loyalty to anything (in games or RL, for that matter). So let's just have fun, and remember that the guy with the red or yellow shield above their head is a fellow MMORPG lover and probably just as cool as the people on "your team".

    Keep it up! This is a blast. I haven't had this much fun since 1999 and Tallon Zek in EverQuest. My wife isn't happy that I'm up past midnight, but we're almost into camping season so she'll have her time.

    God damn this was a hard night. Took us forever to retake ash, and then lost it pretty fast cause of a huuuge EP zerg that had a hard on for ALES. At least in the end, EP finaly got the memo and we kicked AD out of the ring in no time cause they decided to go take Dragonclaw lol!

    I am one of the most loyal DC players.

    When I PvE I don't think of the players color and I chat with many AD and EP players. However, when I step in PvP I can careless less if you are a "COOL" AD player or a "VERY NICE" EP player. You mean nothing to me. I am there to fight and win as an alliance, and I am there to protect all DC members ( even if I have you on ignore ).

    As far as this past weekend goes, I recorded over 85 gigs of game play. I was in most major fights, so I got some good footage. I had many "I am so proud to be a DC player" moments this past weekend.

    Yeah, it's been hard for us to get a group up this week. Lots of people on PTS, plus lots of unis are hitting finals week now/soon. That's what I'm attributing it too, anyway.

    I should upload a picture of my doberman pup for proof - @vamp_emily seems skeptical that I ever have had mouse issues. It's probably just an elaborate ruse to avoid explaining AD's inferiority, right?

    I get a kick out of the people who who make it known that they just killed you. I had a few people this weekend make comments when I died. Yesterday during my long run I had 172 kills and 14 deaths. If I made sure all those people knew I killed them ( if for some reason their game did not come with the death re-cap feature) I would have spent all my time typing instead of playing the game. Silly kids.

    I have played quite a bit of PTS and from my perspective the changes are pretty good. I'm sure there are some high end players that hate it but from a casual player point of view, it seems a little more balanced. I think there will be some very unique builds that perform quite well.

    Im with ya on that stridig. I like it when they shake up the core of the game. It gets stale and boring. Not so exited about playing a worden as I am about playing against them. Should be fun.

    Nope. I'm gonna be handicapped by having too many buttons now.

    @Valen_Byte , I'm also a little worried. I'm not a huge fan of the sustain changes outside of what was changed in CP, but I think that too many people are now calling it the end of the world. Talking with people playing on the PTS it does seem that the changes can be tolerated and I'm not opposed to learning a new style of play - personally, I think that's stimulating.

    I'm different from you in that I'm suuuuper hyped to play warden. I'll probably be maining it unless they revert a lot of the DK changes. I really like the ability to run necropotence, but I don't know that a petsorc is the right build for me.

    I think the people who are going to struggle with the changes are the ones who go into it trying to just maintain there old build rather than adapting ti a new style or reworking there build all together. Gotta just roll with it.

    @FlyLionel most of us are constantly teaching new players in BwB the ropes of PvP and send invites to our guilds, then help with their characters as well to help them get the most of their PvP experience ( which is y ( i believe ) a lot of us stick around )
