Here is the video footage of the fight. (Dem bomb effects) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3ns-ugNW-A
And for all who are wondering how long the whole op took...it was about an hour. We formed up, bridged into AJI, murdered Nulli, bridged home. |

Underwhelming lemming fleet battle with frantic caller and little else of interest. Still, Branch looks more fun than when i was there last. |

Um... no. Tbqh, the only nullsec entity I'd genuinely want to be involved with is the Fairlight Corp of RnK, and the only reason for that is so I could listen the beautiful voices of Alazais and Princess Aricia. Seriously, I could listen to those two recite the telephone directory and it would be like aural sex to me.
Wait, what was the question again? |

I am in nullsec right now - *ALONE* - unsupported, and far from home, and having some rather epic moments.
The whole epic battle thing does draw in the people who watched a lot of Star Wars and Star Trek (I think the DS9 series had the best in fleet fights).
But what gets dangled in front of players and what players end up with when going to 0.0 are two different things.
And CCP is the last entity to blame, by the way. It's the players who make going to 0.0 the way it is, and why a lot of players won't go there.
And yet it's much of the talk from people in 0.0 who claim that the attitudes of players, the carebears in particular, must change.
This is in fact reciprocal.
My solution: let all ships dial in a system to system warp and then we'll see the end of gate camps, the Great Wall of Carebear (bears on BOTH sides) and some real solo and small gang PVP. Also make resources finite, with roid belts in highsec that can be mined out of existence - or at least requiring some months to come back, and mission agents that run out of work, plus tech moons that can be mined flat and require a long time to replenish, and then we will see some real inferno.
Until then, it's all just bored gate campers pulling a Jan Brady in the forums while pretending they liked their decision to move to 0.0 and sit on a gate all day for overlords who could care less about them while raking in the big ISK.

Whichever, glad I *wasn't* a part of that, or there'd have been a serious case of 'blue-on-blue.' Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing. |

Sorry OP, your video sucks and I have absolutely no interest in massive lag, blinky red boxes, huge blobs of almost exactly the same ships, and someone with an annoying voice repeating things 7.3 times.
Personally, if the FC really needs to repeat stuff more than once, then he/she needs to find people who know how to listen properly.
That kind of gameplay repulses me because it's basically a single-player game for the FCs. They call all the shots, and anyone who steps out of line gets yelled at. There's very little in the way of excitement without shifting tactical situations. That's why small-scale PvP is much more entertaining. Too bad it's mostly dead thanks to the fact that the nullsec alliances are so rich that they can afford to throw dozens of capships at their enemies with reckless abandon. |

It is not.
You align, if the FC is competent enough makes fleet warp to "x", you land and start targeting once again if the FC is competent enough to link in fleet history (faster targeting for members) and has DBRB just said "blap" stuff in that order.
If this is considered as gameplay then playing some pvp rogue or shadow in wow requires a a tremendous QI above general Eve player. It's a lot more than just let "stuff" being donne by others (FC) and at least one dozen more skills used for fights. But they also have dumb down stuff like click&win.
Eve it's absolutely not complicated, it's just tedious, requires numbers to succeed and very little personal skill. |

Pretty much this. I have no time to play EVE at the moment, let along dedicate the time needed to be an active members of a space holding alliance.

It was quite difficult to watch and listen to. Typically, I can't stand the videos with just music blasting, I like to hear the chatter, but that was miserable.
I know nothing about FC'ing, but shouldn't he be giving general orders to subordinate squadrons who then actually pick the target? Or for these battles does EVERYONE shoot the same poor sap? Because... if that's the case, that's too bad. |

I doubt it. Nullsec is the ultimate in player driven content, and once you get a taste of it you will never want to leave. Instead of crunching on rocks and grinding missions you can be a soldier in an epic battle where empires are born and die, where your every action can make all the difference in the world. Try it.
I know it's nice to gold coat stuff.

Wow that looks...boring.
What did the average pilot do during that battle? Orbit an anchor and shoot primary? It's that pretty much the MO of incursions?
I'll stick to small gang warfare. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

Guild Wars 2 PvP is 1000 times better than the quality of EvE blobbing. Only saving grace in EvE are small roams.
EvE PvP is too long to setup, too long to find something to kill and that won't insta-cyno 800 supercaps.
No fun elements like personal positional tactics, no personal line of sight relevance, no subtle personal tricks (FCs do have theirs though). No real collision detection bar some 1990 half broken "collision spheres" that only work some times. Plus ships stop like they are swimming in water. Nuff said.
EvE PvP can be played by damn clickers, the WORST in the PvP industry, who would lose to any competitive PvP game baddie.
I have played in 0.0 blobs, it was a snooze + lag fest. Only saving grace was our FC, when he'd finally get drunk and started singing then we'd do some epic deeds, but still within the obsolete PvP gameplay of EvE. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

That looks like the most boring PVP video I've ever seen... I'll stick to non-blobby highsec/wormhole PVP, thanks.

I call this brilliant, award winning, gameplay. It is the most emergent, complex, gameplay I've ever encountered in an MMO.
You clearly need to play more PVP games, EVE is no different then any other MMO really. Sure it has more Sandbox features but its not complex. Once you know the mod's and ships its all about knowing the counters and all that takes its time and effort.

Man I hated DAoC PVP for some reason. I mean, I'd spend several minutes running with the zym and then get smoked by a pack of those floating vampire players - I forget what they were called. The only fun I was was playing one of those minotaur-headed characters - this was long ago and for a short time so I forget the names of everything. My ex was a hardcore DAoC vet who might still be playing it if they haven't shut out the lights yet. My bullhead dude's name was "Peoplefighter" and the casters used to run when they saw him coming. That was enjoyable yet I shortly left DAoC after that.
PVP with a beast spec hunter in WoW was enjoyable if not for the win, but for the sheer enjoyment of watching them getting chewed up while they tried to find your shadow-melded NE. I think they nerfed that, but have not been back since the end of 2007.
EvE PVP has the potential to be great, but only because I think this game has a hard-core following and so long as the FiS portion is not affected, there's no "gold ammo" or MT involved, CCP has the balls to try new stuff. Balls in MMO development is always a good thing so long as they don't end up on your chin.

Perhaps, you could realise that you can work with other people, without having someone else telling you what to do all the time. Perhaps you should go and find a game where everyone agrees with having only one style of game play - yours. |
