My EVE

No one likes to watch zoomed out blob fights in general (unless they themselves were in them or they were epic fights, like B-R). You zooming in still wouldn't have made a difference. The fights weren't exciting for the VIEWER, simple as that. There might be people who like to watch videos of brackets though, so I might be wrong.

Also, I don't know your age or mental well being in real life so It's difficult to have a dialogue going. Your posting and reacting to people in the thread suggests that all the chickens aren't in the nest, so to speak.

Ad hominem aside, your posting is bad and you should feel bad. Please stop posting. This thread needs a lock already.

No you do not understand tracking NightmareX. If you orbit a target you are increasing the angular velocity of that target, and thus negatively affecting your tracking. Orbit a Frigate that is at 0m/s with 4 vindicator webs on it in your vindicator with MWD on and you will be surprised why your guns won't be hitting. Theres no need for you to orbit anything when you aren't being shot at since there is no need to mitigate any damage.

In all seriousness though since this thread is being camped by ISD. The reasons why people don't like your videos are simple. It's incredibly difficult for most people to understand any of the context of the fights, you do not have any comms, you do not have watch list added, so all people are seeing is you and your gang outnumbering your targets, with you hardly ever being shot at in the clips because you are not the primary (You mentioned in a post that in the dominix fight a bhaalgorn fleet-mate of yours is being shot at, but it's impossible to tell that in the video, had you included comms/watchlist it would have been easier to tell the context of this fight, and how much closer or thrilling it may have been in reality).

You make a lot of piloting mistakes (Such as the Vindicator Tracking thing already mentioned), and combining this with the lack of context, and outnumbering your targets, most folks just see a mediocre piloted gang beating another gang through sheer numbers/higher quality ships & SP + HG Implants rather than because of any decision making or piloting you or your gang may have made, and this turns off a lot of people who may be interested in your video.

I don't think people hate PvP videos just because of 'highsec' or 'empire'. I think they hate the style of PvP That marmite like entitys tend to partake in. (Outside stations, at 0m/s, with mass logistics, no piloting involved at all just sitting still and doing DPS, and winning due to the other side lacking fleet discipline, lower quality ships than you/less SP/Implants.). It's about the same as watching a Raven running a level 4 mission, sat at 0m/s killing rats without showing any signs of being in danger.

You are obviously very talented when it comes to editing, way better than I am. Since you are obviously very good when it comes to editing, why not just make a video thats more focused on the stories behind the wars, with fleet comms, that seems like the best kind of video you can make if you continue doing the PvP that you obviously enjoy.

You are way below optimal and going pretty fast, so yes you have tracking issues. But keep digging yourself in, the best part about NightmareX videos is the thread about the video.

I suggest you watch your own video. At 1:40 in your video, you are doing well, too close (3km), but still doing full DPS on the Tempest as it is also doing 0 m/s (also bad piloting on his side, moving if only a little would have mitigated some damage).

Then you decide that he is dying too fast, and start orbiting the stargate and lower damage application. It's not any better for the Dominixes that follow, as most are shot from below 4km while going full speed around that stargate.

Think about it, if you applied your DPS properly, maybe the Falcons would not have been needed...

Also just an FYI,

A vindi orbiting an APOC doin 0m/sec, will do less DPS than a vindi sitting at 0m/sec vs that same APOC both still being in optimal range.

BS sized weapons do not perfectly track BS sized targets in optimal with poor transversal. I know this very well and I still ****** that up as one of the sleips in one of our tourney fights............... felt like such a noob.

If a frigate shooting a frigate can have tracking problems while orbiting, and a cruiser shooting a cruiser can have tracking problems while orbiting, it stands to reason that a battleship can have the same problems.



That is of course ignoring the actual math in the game (which supports the argument that you will have tracking problems).

The criticisms here are the same ones you see in your old video threads. I'd say you have a fixed way of playing that is unlikely ever to change.

It seems this just doesn't translate well to the type of video's you traditionally make.

I'd seriously consider Suitonia's suggestion to focus on storytelling with slick editing. It gives you room to be more creative and cinematic in scope. I'd be very interested in seeing what you could produce in that style.

Work to your strengths!

Constructive posts like this deserves to get a 'Like' , so here we go. So yeah, thanks for that post.

Seems like i have to change on the way i make the videos to make the empire PVP videos more intresting to the type of PVP i / we do. So i will keep that in mind to next time.

So is it that the way i edit the video doesn't fit to the fraps footages or the other way around?

Ok, thanks for your answer. That made more sense .

Sorry for late answer, but here it comes. Better late than never .

It's simple. All you need is isk, good skills to be able to use t2 mods, knows how to fly your desire ships and ofc know how to follow the fleet commanders in fleet and so on.

What you see in my video, specially the fights against RvB is something you are not going to see very soon again. That kind of events are extremely rare. So what you have to concentrate on is the more smaller fights like we had in Amarr, or like the one in the first fight in my video. By that, you only have to focus on the 4 things i mentioned over.
