You'll never guess who we found in the studio one day at the end of shooting. That's right, our own Alexis Knapp. A lot of you guys have been saying that she can't play. Well, we hope this puts some of that speculation to rest. (And yeah, we did blur out a couple screens for the sake of her privacy.)

Better than me!
Rogue/Hunter isn't too bad of a combo, I got like 1700 rating back in season 2 now I play with a mage but it's not a bad combo, also Alexis I should've suggested that you get your battlemaster's before you get medallion since if you already had a +20 resil blue then another +20 isn't better than bm crit/ap/etc
OMG, sh is sooo lovely. Not is she extremely beautiful, but also plays 10 times better than me. I was not one of those guys that saud she can't play, but man was I sure she only played casually if that. Wow she is good, amazing!
Oh and yeah, she also has a very nice voice! :P
Alexis FTW!
Excuse my typos. Bah!
Of course I mean she IS extremely beautiful! :P
Yea Alexis. Great looking character. Also you seem so much more relaxed you should be that way during the wrap up episodes.
See why can't she be more chilled out and natural like in this video, it's much more pleasing to watch. None of the eyes go left eyes go right shit.. just don't give her a script and let her talk her way through the recap it will be much more pleasing to watch and probably be a lot more descriptive than the short brief that the producer/whoever gives her..
/played?
yeah agree with Zaffe, shouldn't script read =/
makes me think you're just a hired actor who knows nothing about WoW but, guess this vid shut me up lol, sick gaming
Okay, I'll admit that I had some doubts about her actually playing the game, mainly stemming from the large amount of script-reading during the wrap-up episodes. This video convinces me that, at the very least, she plays the game, and she apparently plays it fairly well.
Now that I know she plays WoW, though, I'm curious about what makes her stumble so much during the wrap-up videos. Either she's being told to read a script, or she's just really nervous on camera.
I suggest this: if it's the former, let her take a shot at doing her own wrap-up. I doubt something as simple as the weekly wrap-up needs to be explicitly written anyway. If it's the latter, you might want to find someone more comfortable to do the wrap-ups.
I told you all! I knew she was a Real wow player.
I never doubted you for a second Alexis!
Now now now. I never said she couldn't play. I simply asked for proof because of the stale way she acts on camera most of the time.
Anyway, you delivered, Project Lore. You gave in to our demands and I can't thank you enough. Now that I know she can hold true to what she said originally and that she's not a random fake, I feel much more comfortable watching the wrap ups.
You rock, Alexis. And relax more like this, ya? >:D
woow, she is nice
:O And we didnt believe her! We are so sorry master! ;D
I smell a spin-off!
i knew she kicked ass all female hunters do.

Jesus you really are a lick ass, do you think she's going to e-mail you and say thanks?
I think when you use flare you should use Freeze Trap and dps the one you didnt frezee 2 on 1 and do wingclip to freezed one when you got other it will pretty good for 2v2 Btw I also think she plays you can see from her talks at wrap ups
Oh no you don't Cruineros. You're not going to play the good guy here. I didn't like how the video made it out to be a coincidence that they stumbled upon her playing WoW. Before they decided to turn the camera on here they had their minds made up to dispell all of Alexis' accusers here. No one doubts she can play. But when you act like a Project Lore pinup and do your coverage and witty remarks like a brainless bimbo we start to hate that personality. The persona that does the wrap-ups and the one here are completely different.
The Alexis here would be awesome for future episodes. And was that Dorkins with the camera?
Go and show them your no push over. (Seriously though you should put this video as a pod cast)
that makes me wanna go play my hunter....i think i might go do that
nice moves
Alexis who?
she purdy
She plays well, however a few exp in pvp would hurt, but anyway, good to know that now all the answers have benn cleared, about the vid i only need to say you felt more relax at this one, if wrap-up could be like that you would have a shoe in! just speak from your own exp. and not a script...;)
This is an amazing team. Would love to be apart of the laughs they have plus the coordination they have together as a group. Well keep up the good work guys, always looking for new episodes when they drop, and Alexis awesome PVP player would love to run a few premades with you.
Awesome. Its always nice to see a little PvP.
Personally, I enjoy Hunter/Rouge as a combo provided you have the right spec between them. I'd say Marksman and Shadowstep is a personal fav. With the right gear and timing its a clothy destroyer. However, without the right spec or synergy it can be a very weak combo. However, Hunter/Druid is music to my ears.
Its also refreshing to hear more people know how EotS can actually be won. Yes, towers are more important then the flag, in addition when the flag is captured you gain more points based off of how many towers are under your control.
As for strategies, it sounds like Alexis and I are on the same page. If I were alliance the first place I'd send 9 people is Fel Reaver. However, I play horde so if they listen they usually lay waste to Dreanai(sp?) Ruins. Of course leaving one behind for Mage Tower(Alliance) or Blood Elf Tower(Horde). While the other remaining player fend off the zerg of the other established territories. After you have territory and the people to guard it, then go mid, grab flag, repeat turn in... win in no time.
Hopefully this becomes a regular thing... PvP is ze fun.
