So lets start with positives...

The editing was OK, and the music was OK until the 'Feed Me' brostep at the end. Unfortunately that's where the positives end for me.

Now for the negatives, I'm not trying to be a jerk but I'm going to be honest...

The bulk of this video is you ganking opponents with RR on your side not exactly fun to watch. In the gang fights you don't list the involved friendly ships so we don't know if you're out classed or not, though I think we can safely assume you aren't with the RR alts and such. I can't believe I just spent 4 minutes watching you fail to disengage vs a keres/falcon and slowly burn out your MWD and die, why the hell would you put that out in the public eye? The few 1v1 frigate fights you have... your opponents seem to be t1 fit (kestrel) also you seem to just click orbit and go afk, there's no actual piloting involved. That merlin you fought? 1/2 its DPS in in rockets... all of your DPS is in guns, by orbiting you're reducing your own DPS much more than you are his. You could have won the fight had you loaded barrage and sat at 6k-8k outside his blaster range and lowered transversal for your guns.

You have the ability to edit together an EVE video, but the content of the video needs a lot of work in my opinion. Also you need to learn the intricacies of combat piloting as made evident by the frigate fights and the cyclone loss. I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not as a personal attack.

*** As a disclaimer no I've never made my own video, but its because the majority of fights I'm in in EVE aren't entertaining enough to warrant sharing with others. However I've watched just about every PVP video posted here since 2009.

Holy damn i really hoped the first song was the worse one but instantly stopped at the second, footage wasnt worth ruining my ears and there was absolutely no overview what was going on.

No clue how you could think the music was okay, Handlebars is one of the most pointless and unfitting songs ever.

Appreciate the effort that went into making this video, well done.
There were a couple nice solo fights.

Overall, generally speaking, highsec wardecs don't make for very interesting videos, I don't think I've ever seen an exciting highsec PvP video yet.

i'll keep it in mind to give a list of ships on both sides next time, the tama fight was terrible, and i know that, ("now a bit of me being an idiot.."). the merlin was using 200mm AC's so i knew i couldn't really get out of range as well as i could have if he were blaster fit. thanks for the feedback though

Actually if the merlin is neutron fit going long range is a worse idea. The merlin does crap dps at barrage range with AC's, but with the optimal bonus with null loaded in neutrons merlins do serious damage in barrage range. It doesn't really matter because long range ammo for blasters and AC's do crap damage vs the merlin's resists, but are the resist holes for a rifter.

Fighting a merlin in a rifter isn't a great idea. The last merlin I fought in my rifter I won the fight with 7% hull left.

Let's guess:

Nullsec is where its at, the massive 200 vs 200 press f1 turkeyshoot fests?

Lowsec is where it's at, where people fly back home to alert buddies and grab a fleet 2x the size of what was scouted?

If thats all you have to add to someone's go at a PvP video, dont bother posting to begin with.

In response to mr Gibbo:
This indeed tbh --> A nice pony for you.




Honestly, highsec PvP might not make for the best of video's, but at times have to work pretty hard to even get fights.

I liked watching it, so my feedback is positive.
The only points of criticism have already been pointed out, no need to adress those again.

Fun watch, please do again.

Aesh
