Always remember that we are fighting outnumbered ALOT of the time. In the last fight in the movie we have 1x Dominix, 1x Megathron, 1x Deimos and 4x Logistics vs 4x RR Dominix, 1x Typhoon, 2x Megathron, 1x Scorpion, 1x Drake and 1x Blackbird. Don't you think it's a risky game to engage that with what we had, considering that they had a Blackbird that could jam our logistics?

It's called good teamwork and very good piloting. Specially when we managed to kill a Scorpion and a Drake (yeah forgot to put the Drake into the battlereport in the movie) while we had 0 losses against that.

More interesting than your previous videos, I'll grant you that.

But sitting still and pressing F1-F3 on the primary is no more interesting for me than a CFC fleet where they orbit an anchor and shoot missiles. Arguably, it's less exciting - at least they broadcast for reps!

quick question, do you guys take contracts in low sec?

Nightmare, if nano is so easy, please come down to low/null sec and record a video doing so. Controlling range is NOT easy, unless if you burn/align in a straight line and rely on someone else to point things. Dipping in and out of disruptor range is actually pretty difficult.

Sitting still and pressing F1-F3 is as fun as watching a 1 vs 1 fight where the guy who are frapsing are in a nano ships and controlling the range with no risks. It's the same with 0.0 space / low sec fights where someone is hotdropping some carriers (used as a logistic) into a mid size battle in 0.0 space / low sec at a station.

Those types of movies as i'm talking about is as fun to watch as it's fun to watch a tree grow.

Nah, having control of your distance isn't that hard if you knows exactly what you are doing and if you are experienced. In the same ways as we knows exactly what we are doing by having very few losses.

I was going to come in here and offer you some constructive criticism about how RR-BS is boring as **** to watch even though it might take some technical proficiency to pull off, which makes it a very poor subject for videos, but then you went and said this:



and this:



It's clear that you're HILARIOUSLY delusional about your own skill, the content of your video and the ability of others. You're a quintessential example of the annoying dude who says, "I could do it better than you can if I only knew how to do it!"

People here, in these forums, enjoy watching videos where the odds are CLEARLY stacked against the protagonist. No one cares about blobbing. If they wanted to blob, they'd just log on to TQ and do that. People enjoy watching stuff that they couldn't pull off themselves. This means fighting against people that are at LEAST 4, 5, 6 or more times the size of your gang.

As far as BS pvp is concerned, really the only well received one that I've seen was Kovorix's Mael at the end of Everlasting II. That was only because he was in a tandem taking on an entire 20 man camp.

This is all besides the point though. The point is that you've posted your video here, asked people what they thought of it, and then people tried to tell you that you didn't like it, you became very defensive. Here's a summation of the collective verdicts so far. You are clearly a talented video editor. From a technical standpoint, the video was very well made. The content however was boring to people.

If you want to release videos that will be better received, you either need to change your content or change your audience. There is NOTHING wrong with releasing videos for your own alliance that show some of their past victories. Since they were involved in the fight, they have more of a connection with the content and will enjoy it more. If, however, you want to release videos to the greater EvE public, you need to either change the content of your videos, or accept the fact that the vast majority of people won't like your videos and move on with it. It's completely OK to release a video with a niche audience in mind. Just don't try to release it to the greater public and expect it to be a huge hit.

Ugh. Fine, it seems like this can only be solved by captain caps lock cruise control. WE AREN'T CRITICIZING YOUR FIGHTING, WE'RE SAYING IT'S BORING TO WATCH. I don't know how else to explain it to you.

As far as nullsec blobbing is concerned, no one enjoys watching videos of it aside from the alliances involved (unless there are some really funny coms or something). Can you point to a single video on here that glorifies blobbing and isn't about a minute long? I sure as sh*t can't.

If my movie is boring to watch, then i'm affraid that empire PVP never will be fun to watch for you guys no matter what.

See where this is going?

Before I comment further, this isn't my cup of tea. I hope that you will not disregard what I'm saying because of that though.

I know some people who do enjoy this style of PvP so I'm going to make some suggestions based on that:
- add an ISK destroyed/lost section in the after action screen
- add in a little more description at the beginning of how the fight started if it was missed with FRAPS
- divide the info box up; left side fighting ships, right side logi
- leave the info screen up with the ships until you have something else to show, there is no need for a blank box
- provide information mid fight that might build tension in the situation
- after providing that information switch the info box back to showing the ships involved and update it as ships leave/join the fray

I think you're providing only some of the information your core viewers would want to have because you've followed a presentation template built for a different audience.

The Rooks and Kings series of video series is an example where they can take an interesting collection of fights and make them amazing by providing context, detailing information on the important bits, and excellent storytelling. If it was just the fights in a vacuum I'd probably find it much less entertaining.

Actually, ive seen plenty of good empire pvp movies over the years, and you know what they all had in common? No freaking neutral RR.

And the fact that you state that this is the only way to do empire wars, clearly show how wrong you are.
You wont find a single time the last few months where we have flown with logis in the gang (or neutral rr for that matter)

Your problem is that to you guys, risking your ships is actually such a dreadfull thought. That again leads to gangs where u cant lose, wich is why your movies are boring to watch.
Sadly, though everyone here has been trying to tell you this in all sorts of manner, it just seems you cant grasp the concept of solo pvp or any sort of pvp with risk in it.

I guess thats why you allways spent more time on sisi then on tq in the past.

If my movie is boring to watch, then i'm affraid that empire PVP never will be fun to watch for you guys no matter what.

See where this is going?

Do you see now why i try to get more peoples to accept the style of PVP we do in empire?

Ye u ****** what if that blackbird make jam lol?

Yeah, it's painfull to get jammed ya know

I give up

If you had made this video with footage from Sisi it would be more exciting.

Then again, after reading your replies I can only assume you believe what you type. In which case, everyone should stop bullying him. He's clearly an idiot.

Now back on topic. OH CUTE, isn't this video amazing! You should be so happy fella, it looks fantastic!
