Are you talking about the stream or Calamity's mother?

Watch tonight's match LIVE on WarbandNA at 9PM EDT.

Wappaw

vs

West Knights

[size=12pt]In the West Knight camp, the atmosphere is busy. Calamity and Cradoc are seen petting their horses and attaching the saddle, while Lagstro sharpens his arrows. On the far side of the field, the Wappaw horde stands ready but tense, uncertain of what this clash will bring. Pizza, looks over at GreenKnight, nodding, as they prepare to ride their steeds into battle. What will happen when the lances fly? Watch tonight!

W-why are you posting times in EDT? You're confusing even me, and I should supposedly know what's going on. :l

EDT = Eastern Daylight Time.

Basically, look outside.

Is it dark? It's probably winter. Use EDT.
Is the sun in the sky? Probably summer. Use EST.

Remember to always follow WarbandNA's guide to time zones!

 

[RoBo_CoP]

Either way it's Eastern time, not sure how hard of a concept that is to wrap your mind around unless you're not North American. :^)

Also, EDT is used during the summer, not winter.

 

[Catholic]

Whoop, I'm wrong.

Good call.

 

[Lord Brutus]

Eternal, worst PR ever. 

 

[Catholic]

Ah, right, to be good PR:

WarbandNA sincerely apologizes for the inaccuracies provided in its time zone distinction. Instead, we advise the following:
Is it dark? It's probably winter. Use EST.
Is the sun in the sky? Probably summer. Go outside.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for doing business with us.

Posting this on the appropiate thread not to clog up UNAC threads. Also this is all based on the First map only as I had a match to attend and could not watch the second.

guis did i do gud job?

Alright, I made some comments in the chat but I didn't and don't expect you to keep track of chat while casting. Here's the deal I feel you can be one of the better commentator's WarbandNA has, the others few are decent and the rest lets not go there so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. But my feedback to you is to calm down a bit. When you have to two people casting generally one person does the play by play and the other talks about the match and a bit more context of whats going on and ****. You were talking way way to much this last match, super fast it was impossible to keep up with what you were saying. I didn't know if I had to concentrate on watching the match or concentrate on what you were saying, because honestly it was one or the other to understand what was happening. I also felt that you really never gave room for Blak who was your co-caster to talk. It was a intense and exciting match and you were so into it that it seems like you forgot you had someone else casting with you. Overall it was ok despite giving me  a headache by listening to it. You did well on the play by play but you sometimes gave way to many details you were calling individuals name in a big ball of melee saying who's fighting who. By the time you were done with half of it the fight was over, and you missed a fight on the side. The match you casted with Dman was much better then this one. I heard some people said it was a boring casting but I will attribute that to your co-caster. No offense but Dman is boring as a caster. So I guess its all on you to know your co-caster, in order for you to know when to talk a lot and when to share the "mic" with your co-caster. Keep in mind that two good caster's will turn any boring match, an entertaining one. They will also make a game not made for spectators one entertaining to spectate. I will admit personally WarbandNA has very few decent casters. You and Blak are among those, so if you both had casted that together it would have been a great stream, but the fact you Blak had no room so to say. Made that casting chaotic not that great.

tl;dr - Last match felt like I was listening to a auctioneer.

I think that's an unfair assessment.  X did a very good job.  It wasn't a very exciting match (if you're talking about wK vs wappaw).  One sided matches are harder to call.  I enjoyed X's enthusiasm.  X was the main caller, Blak "backup" in that he made general informed comments about the teams (in which he is very good at).  X should be talking more.

But I do agree that X can be one of the better casters for us this season.

First there shouldnt be a such thing as backup caster. Both casters should have a role  : play by plays and general information / context. X did a good job but his excitement and "extra energy" were way to much. I had five Balions in vent with me watching none of us could follow what X was saying. It was extremely fast and sometimes not even needed so much. I am not saying he did a terrible job, I am saying he can do much better hence why I posted the feedback. Its nice to have people enthusiastic to cast a warband match. But X can do better. I am sure he will.

Almost every sport that exists has either one commentator or one commentator and a "backup" guy who doesn't speak nearly as much.  It works well because there is more to be said in X's role than Blaks, that's why it might not have been "equal" (even though I don't agree it was even an issue in this stream at all and you are nitpicking).

Other casters have suffered from not being able to keep up with the play at all and calling stuff that happened 10 seconds ago.  X's speed is necessary to keep up with everything going on.  If you couldn't follow along, that's your fault.

 

[OurGloriousLeader]

I enjoyed X's commentary, a little enthusiasm can go a long way to making an entertaining show, even if he isn't really saying much.

Agreed, I enjoyed your commentating X

Yeah Zero, **** you for leaving constructive feedback! I hate it when people are genuinely trying to help!

This. If Zero watched the stream and felt as he did, then it's important to hear about his experience. Everyone at WarbandNA thanks him for caring about the stream enough to speak to us about it.

Zero, if you watched further, X toned down his excitement by the second map and Blak's voice became more prominent. This shows X can adapt, and your words will only help him hone his casting further when he reflects upon it. There is no science to good casting or good entertainment, so we can only refine what we do by listening to the criticisms of the people we do it for.
