Infernal Hordes are a new wave-based game mode that received mostly positive sentiment in Diablo 4 Season 5. Since players seemed to enjoy this game mode, the developers decided to preserve it as part of the main game going forward, as opposed to something that would disappear once Season 5 ended. While Infernal Hordes are here to stay, they will be receiving some changes in Season 6.

WoW Moviewatch: Releasing the Beast II: Don’t Call me Huntard
Filed under: Hunter, Machinima, PvP, Humor, WoW Moviewatch
Warning: This video contains harsh language.
Today we’re featuring Releasing the Beast II: Don’t Call me Huntard! by Sazabi. It’s an intriguing, mesmerizing, hilarious, self-aware take on a PvP movie — following up the hugely successful Releasing the Beast. Now, wait! Don’t tune out if you don’t like PvP movies. It’s not actually a PvP movie, per se. It’s a comedy all the way, including the filmmaker showing his own failures in the battlegrounds and making fun of his arena rating. It’s certainly not a how-to movie. In fact, the story goes out of its way to demonstrate that it is NOT a model of PvP play tactics.
The premise is this: after brutally failing during a PvE raid (with a very funny guest voice appearance from the star of Onyxia Wipe Animation) caused by his hobby as a Fraps-aholic machinima filmmaker, our hero decides to try his hand at the battlegrounds and arena scene at the urging of his main character, an Orc hunter. (Hence, the subtitle: Don’t call me huntard!) The PvP scenes are interludes within the arc of the bigger story and are set to some great music, mostly from the Naruto Original Soundtrack. These battle scenes are slickly filmed with split-screen punctuations of the action. (My only complaint about them is at times the camera angle is too high to see well.)
The battle fray is framed by the comedic conflict between the Second Life avatar of the filmmaker and his WoW creation (or so he believes), Sazabi. The story folds in on itself so many times that you feel like you’re in a Möbius strip that’s been flagged in enemy territory. But that’s exactly the fun here. Even though the film is 27 minutes long, you need to wait for the twist at the end which presents a fine comeuppance for our hero. (Which hero you’ll have to find out for yourself.) I also recommend downloading the FileFront version because the subtitles are a bit difficult to read in the streaming version and they help clear up some of the European accents at times.
