you should give legion a try dude. I stopped playing after wrath (I did come back for a few month in pandaria but only lvled up and then stopped) and I must say that legion really made me want to play again and I haven't stopped playing it ever since it came out.

[@Carriesue1982]

For some reason, people seem to dislike this zone, largely because of the one color scheme of it (the one color being that infected orange, obviously), but I really enjoy this zone. It illustrates exactly the type of shit the Legion & fel energy can do to a planet. Don't get me wrong, I liked Nagrand & the other zones as well, but coming into this zone for the first time and taking it all in was amazing.

[@toxendon]

I agree.... I mean what do people want from a destroyed planet? I even expected Northrend to be more barren and snowy I felt there was too much variation because I knew it was supposed to be a dead place

[@Flealfy45]

The first time I thought it was awesome, but coming back again there was really boring, until you get a fly, you just spend loads of time going one place to another

[@Guitarfailtastic2857]

it's always been one of my fav zones in wow ever

[@lexatchik2079]

Most people don't like this zone because of the leveling process. And to be honest, there is not very much zone who are interesting in leveling (sadly because we rush them to be up for new content at max level) But hopefully it's changing at shadowland where you can take the time to fully experiment a whole expansion :)

[@joeldosanjos4873]

Burning Crusade's OST is so unique, it gives Outland an original atmosphere

[@Everness1]

A good third of Hellfire soundtrack are stingers, so I had to improvise a little bit with the choice of music tracks. I hope it turned out okay. The ambience though is super lackluster. Literally one one-minute loop. The only itty bitty little thing I found usable for this zone was the Fel Reaver “scream.” Clunky, but eh. Citadel ambience is jarringly different and very bland. Someone also mentioned that transitions I use for every video are too distracting. I made new ones. What do you think? First one should be right after 2:27.

[@everydaySupremacey]

Yes! A new video which I can listen to countless of times. I have never noticed transitions until today, but new one (cross dissolve?) might be less distracting than fade to black and back again. Anyway, great job as always.

[@Everness1]

It's a combination of gaussian blur and color dodge with custom keyframe interpolations. Boom: i.imgur.com/ErqjS7h.jpg Standard effects (transitions) are boring and lame. If you're already working in After Effects, why not make something cool, right?

[@onefiftyone738]

First off, love your videos. I am making a fantasy game and I leaves these videos on a separate monitor while I'm modelling, writing code and writing dialogue. Just wanted to start with that. If I'm really looking for it, the increase in color/saturation from the color dodge can be a little distracting. The speed of the transition is also super fast. If you wanted to make the transitions close to unnoticeable, just cross dissolve with an ease out in two seconds. You only really notice transitions if they're fast and bright. If you're looking to get away from standard effects you could also use the after effects camera blur and add a bokeh blur between shots which is a lot of fun and very pretty, too. No bad vibes meant here, just constructive criticism if you wanted it. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@Everness1]

Thank you! No bad vibes indeed, I love comments like this. I like the idea of using bokeh and I will definitely play around with it for the next one, but allow me to say something just to explain my point of view: none distracting does not necessarily mean unnoticeable. I'm absolutely fine with people noticing the scene change, I just want this change to look somewhat natural. I was using essentially 20 frame long dip to black to (kinda) simulate a blink. In the video above I was trying to make transitions look like your vision adjusting to a new environment. I honestly believe it was a success more than a failure. I don't like that blur fallout at the end though. 5-10 frames too many.

[@belowthestoneofficial1476]

Onefifty One whats the name of the game? Or is the name a wip?

[@matthewaltig4857]

I absolutely loved this area when I first played BC. It's enviroment, music, and ambiance basically told me that I'm in a strange foreign world with untold monstrosities that lie ahead of me...of course that all changes to pure fear when you hear the terrifying alarm warning you that the massive Fel Reaver that roams the area is heading your way and you need to move, NOW.

Fun fact, almost all of the soundtrack for The Burning Crusade was originally created for an older version of Diablo 3 that was in development at the time. That specific version of Diablo 3 was scrapped and its music was moved to TBC.

[@PCRyder]

It was a long time ago. When I first walked through that portal. One small step for the greatest Undead Rogue that had ever lived, one giant leap to the epicness of WoW. There I was standing face to face with some of the largest creatures i'd ever seen in any video game EVER. How insignificant I felt, staring down this Pit Lord. It still brings tears to my eyes, so I did what any man in my position would do in that situation.... I screamed out loud "FOR THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDE" and proceeded to stab the SHIT outta the big toe that belonged to that Pit Lord. HE WILL NEVER WALK RIGHT AGAIN. AND WHEN HE DOES HE WILL REMEMBER MY NAME FOR I AM THE GREATEST ROGUE THAT HAS EVER EXISTED. Then he hit me for half a million damage and i died.

Fun fact: Originally, before WoW released, it was intended that much of what was in Burning Crusade (including the zone itself, it's raids, locations, etc.) were intended to be in the base game, even the level cap was supposed to be 70. However, due to time issues, these ideas were shelved for later and the game released with only a 60-level cap. Of course, these ideas were revived and turned into the first expansion of the game instead.
