Episode 17.2: Culling of Stratholme
Project Lore follow Arthas into Old Stratholme in the Caverns of Time. They begin the timed event which may lead to a new mount for Bowbins or Lylelovett... but can they do it? Is time on their side? Watch this episode and find out.

They mostly would have not have made it either way, wipe or not. Lyle being new to the instance, albeit this was 3 or so months ago so Lyle isn't new anymore, did hinder their speed, but since this was an episode of Project Lore (Not the speediest but that's a good thing) I never really expected them to get the Infinite Corrupter on time anyway. When I looked at the episode list, there was this one's description, and 17.3 says "takes on Meathook." so it was either this would have been insanely short and was only trash, or they wiped. Which in this case, was the latter.
Though I may hate world of warcraft and games in general, I like watching this because you guys are pretty funny.
I stumbled upon this website by complete accident and didn't know why I started watching, but you guys are pretty funny, so I continued.
One thing I never understood (because I started watching later) was why the heck you would show shots of the speaker every now and then until the episode before this when I finally realized that it was the other dude playing the game that's not in the room with you.
Ha
i watch it, i watch it all the time, i ran this heroic every day for 4 or 5 days to grind the mount w/ a group of five people, i got it on the last day, but i never died, either its the tank and he needs a few more pieces of gear, or the healer needs to be healing specced ;)
@ donk
depends for like 90% on the player and his/her skills, class is never the problem, unless you wanna heal with a mage or something:P

This episode kinda made me sad. . . seeing the big dramatic "Boss Kill" graphic, only to have the episode end on a wipe. Usually it's cool to see you guys bounce back and get it right on the second try.
Now I can only assume everyone got discouraged, stopped shooting the video, and quit Project Lore. Don't leave us hanging like that!
Well, that wasn't pro at all. =\
So sad that they didn't make it for the drake (though with a shaman and a Paladin it could still be possible for Juggy to ankh and rez Winterstrike and keep going if they picked up the pace). As a tank myself (granted I am a Paladin and this place is a playground for me) if you haven't set foot in the zone before it's pretty much a moot point to try a timed run. Perhaps if they had run it on normal before shooting a couple times they could have gotten it.
The look on their faces when they wiped, priceless. They all look as if they were told for the first time that Santa is just a drunk man in a suit at the mall, the Easter bunny isn't real and that the world as they know it has come to an end. The shock, the awe, the disappointment... Drama at it's finest.
Wow. Simply. wow. Great job projectlore! This website and video content makes instances and the game in general very fun and enjoyable~!
Keep up the filming too.. remember the video crew that helped film this too.. cos i was a videoman myself once hahahaha
BTW.. yea.. tank coulda blown LAst Stand and shield Wall..
or the paladin coulda blown Lay on Hands on the tank..
After watching the video, its comforting to know that even seasoned players forget their class mechanics from time to time hahahaha
Something tells me that Lyle got hosed on this, for not having run it, before...
Might it have been better to have run it through, once to get everyone up to speed on what was going to happen & then run it a second time (on tape), to show the Group getting the achievements available (or not)...?
It wasn't the most glowing indictment of how a Guild runs an Instance, esp. if 2 of the DPS seemed to be pre-occupied with their DPS showing - 2 of the team who (it would appear) had run the Instance before & would seemingly KNOW how the Event was going to unfold...
This wipe was horrible - I've seen PL have 'better' wipes (less disappointing ones) - and it didn't show the team as a cohesive unit... like Dorkins said; 'We need to focus...', but some of the team didn't...
I agree with Jeff. This is why I hate DPS meters. Most dps classes only care about DPS instead of whats going on around them, and cause problems to the group / raid. DPS is not everything.
What ever else I had to say, was already said in the previous comments, and I would just be repeating it.
Just an FYI though, you could still do the drake one after one wipe, just have to release asap, and run back. Make sure to talk to Chromie to port to the entrance. Most people forget about that.
oh hais
...What?
How did he die? Did he forget he has CDs to pop when things get bad? Meathook may hit fairly hard, but its not that bad.
CoS was my first LK heroic and I wasn't expecting to get the drake, but sure enough I got my group to the Infinite Corrupter with 4 minutes left on the clock. Maybe it was because I am a paladin, but still, its not rocket science to get it.
Where did you get the awesome ninjabrears with frikkin murlocs on? Coolest thing ever! Bla bla bla, i have recently enterd the world (of warcraft) and am currently lvl 64 druid so i don't have any idea of all the crazy lvl 80 things going on.
Great Job guys Im long time watcher first time writer everyone dies sometimes helpful comment would be to attack the same side of the boss and be arrranged in a order for the healer to be able to easily heal but you guys are the experts. Oh by the way What hapened to Goggins he was a good player and a great resty shaman can you tell what happend to him
to bad about the drake but by now all of you guys prolly have it i bet >.> can't wait to run this instance though and for all i know i may get lucky and have my first group being people who already know how to do the whole thing no problem and just wanted one more person...either way i can say this Easy drake once you get the hang of it (at least from what i am hearing since i haven't run it yet)
Lol jeff is cocky now that he is getting dps up there. First off, Lyle, DO NOT KEYBOARD TURN use the mouse, just unbind them arrow keys, u should never click or keyboard turn, it delays ur reactions to things by 10x. And yah dps, all they care is about who will get highest, they pull before even the tank gets aggros, then whine when they die and complain about the healers. Dorkins, Bowbins, and Winter, stop worrying about your dps . Should of also gave lyle kings instead of might, forget them stupid monkeys lol
@Donk
Thats just plain wrong.
Lyle isnt even using half of his abilities.
Run ahead of your healer, charge in on the elites, shockwave em all for a 4 sec stun, Thunderclap, cleave with glyph of cleave. Aoe tanking? No problem. But you have to know what you are doing. Lyle dont.
@ Donk
Warriors are good aoe tanks but if you take a look at Lyle's gear and the others its clear its hard for him to control the threat.
A little tip for jeff - use lay on hands on the tank when he has low hp.
that was a really boring episode. two episode and not one boss kill
still quite funny though
@Smilezor
how can you find something boring and fun at the same time?
@Will
Unfortunatly Goggins left PL for good. Alex told us in an earlier weekly wrap up.
But lucky for us, Jeff is a cool dude and a good addition to the PL team.
For the episode, well it would be nice if they'd just did the whole instance in 2 or 3 episodes. But instead they'll use 2 weeks.
When are you guys gonna show some lich king raiding stuff?
it would be nice to see the PL team and some of the guild people to sow us a naxx run on reg or heroic
I don't think you guys sucks, I'm just really dissapointed you couldn't keep your healer alive in that first boss.
Someone could have slapped a heal on him if he was chain wrapped. It's not like this is entirely new to three of you, you've done a timed run before!
Really what this boils down to is the group has not run this with each other before. Yes Jeff and Zand seem pre-occupied with the meters, but that is more than likely just friendly pokes at each other as before when they were on the wrath Beta Jeff's Paladin was typically at the bottom and now they are reversed as Jeff has figured his Paladin out.
All that aside, Jeff, Zand and Juggy have all run this, they are use to the tank already knowing what they need to do and where to go and getting there first so they can run in with all guns blazing. This isn't the case with Lyle since he doesn't know the instance. While I'm not saying that Drake runs r srs bzns, they aren't trivial if you haven't run it before and know what they mean by "flags on the mini map" and how the instance progresses/boss abilities.
I stick with my previous comment that they should have run it as a group on normal a couple times so that Lyle and Alex could get on the same page as Jeff Zand and Juggy. They probably would not have wiped (I'm still hanging onto the hope that Juggy Ankh's and rezes Jeff and they both get the group back up and running and they can pick up the pace later on).
