I have some friends who love sandbox games, but seem turned off to eve because of how the combat appears to be boring.

Can you guys please me some good eve videos? VBRs with coms are best. nothing more than 10-20 minutes if possible. I want these guys to see the true eve experience, and preferably not from the perspective of some guy with his camera zoomed out 100km.

I like the rooks and kings videos, but they are a little confusing to new players as well as being very long. Can you guys help me out?

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

-Clear freaking Skies

You know. If you are going to show them videos. Show them ganking or burn Jita. Unless you belong to a large alliance, you aren't going to get in a fleet fight, but anyone can gank solo.


Yep Faction Warfare doesn't get you fleet fights.

And no, Villore Accords isn't a big alliance either.

I've always thought RnK battle in Notoras is one of the best displays of what EVE combat can be. There are few enough pilots that TiDi is not a factor but enough that there is a lot going on and it's shot in HD with the full commentary accessible even to non-EVE players we've come to expect from RnK over the years plus the majority of it is filmed at normal speed making it as close to in game play as you'll ever see.

Other than that all you can really say is that no other game come close to replicating the adrenaline rush you can get from EVE. EVE is the only game where close fights will leave me shivering in my chair for 20 minutes while the adrenaline clears and it really does slow time yet it never feels anything like enough to make sure you're always making the right decisions. A fight that felt 15 minutes long is only 4 minutes worth of FRAPS. I've never played any other game that causes that feeling and it's precisely that feeling that makes it fun and it's why I have to keep coming back for more.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

Show videos of large 10% tidi fleet fights that aren't sped to real time. Making them sit through it.

Keep an eye on the top right. Outdated UI, but still relevant.
