Good call. As a masochist, I just watched all of it. It's one of the worst PvP movies I've ever sat through, and I'm still not sure why I did it. It's like an entire video full of the fights people put in to pad the run time of their video - there isn't a single interesting fight there, nor interesting fit or even decent smack talk in local. The OP's only talent is in picking a fairly neutral track list to back his poorly edited film.

Why do I even have a signature these days?

Thats kind of harsh.

Atleast he made something instead of criticizing other peoples work.

Well interesting post atleast. Video isnt supposed to be any special just fights what are common in fw. I did find fights interesting but maybe it is beucase I like frig/dessie pvp. I would use more battlecruisers and up but they just get blobbed alot more often and gets expensive.

About interesting fits dont know how you can make them more interesting other than pimp them without any reason. Dont know about the smack talk was there even any and why there should be?

And it would be nice to know what was wrong with the editing as I want to improve ofcourse.

Well, I didn't watch it all, but from what I saw I can say you did a pretty good job of editing it so kudos for that. You did say that these fights were pretty normal for faction warfare, and tbh I think that's exactly why you won't see much of a positive response to this video.

Anyone who spends the majority of there time PVPing in lowsec will have numerous fights, exactly like these everyday - there's nothing really extraordinary about them, and while to the person involved in the fight they can sometimes be exhilarating, they are pretty meh for an observer to watch. (This coming from someone who's almost exclusively a small hull PVPer)

This video does however give anyone unfamiliar with lowsec a good glimpse into the day to day goings on in said space. My only question is why are militia pilots so eager to engage war targets, but run from every neutral or -10 pilot that shows up inside there complexes, almost everytime. I will never understand FW PVPers. Also you seemed to have a fight in Vlillirier on the one day it wasn't packed with blobbers o.O THAT I found interesting.

Things is, that is what makes the game and any resulting videos interesting.

If you watch Garmon fly a Malice you are still watching a solo-player fly a frigate.

The difference is that it holds some form of meaning, which also dictates the piloting of that ship and the response of the people you encounter.

Even if you decide to be at the top of your game in whatever free hull you pick from the litter, it's not necessary that whoever you come across is going to take the fight seriously. If both of you are players who have never experienced flying PvP with some risk or stakes involved, then neither of you can be assumed to pilot accordingly.

That's what makes any [frigate, destroyer, cruiser, battlecruiser] movie dull when the merit of their production is affordability alone. I'm not saying those ships never produce fascinating content, but when you make a movie on the premise (and with the mindset) of aim-small-miss-small the content tend to follow suit. It doesn't matter if you hone your skills and attempt to pilot well, since it isn't "real". If you went on SiSi you could do this with a larger variety of ships, but it wouldn't make it anymore interesting for others to watch.

I'm sorry that I picked your thread to complain about this, given the frequence of [solo/small frigate/cruiser] threads but you brought up the discussion here and it's been bothering me a bit that we went from waiting for too long for any (interesting-) movies to appear in this forum and now we see alot of entires but even less interesting movies instead because of the lack of some-risk content for those who used to make those more interesting movies.

Garmon flying a Malice against [frigate, destroyer] wouldn't be very interesting to see either.

Dont listen to these retards, good video, people just cant appreciate good piloting (or more likely, are way to bad to notice it).

You warped out a bit to early for my taste a couple of times tho and you switch ammo to often.
