Here is their post: I came to see people's Voquv tactics and instead I got a reminder of why PVP is stupid and utterly biased in favor of gunboats. Meh.

In response to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD22NNM1Cjw&feature=plcp


That has this as the description: Intro to the Vo'Quv Carrier using a very basic gear set and BOFF layout. Demonstrating the ruggedness of the ship under some very strong attacks.

And I think I can sort of understand where they are coming from, the feeling that the odds are stacked in favor of Y vs X. And that this video bears out that feeling. And that is of very much concern to me as the idea behind these videos is to show that a player of no particular practice in a certain ship, using only the most basic of gear and layouts, can enjoy and have reasonable success in all aspects of the game.

I do make note that the ship is equipped with only common gear. There is no stf gear of any sort during the first sequence. I also make note that I made a HUGE mistake of not checking who my opponents were and not seeing to my own defenses. And so I had to use every ability that was available to survive. And I had some missteps during that very busy minute or so. But I did enough of the right things at the right time.

So what? I made it. And the idea is that anyone can make it, even if you HAVEN'T had the time to grind out all purple gear. It can be done. You just need understand some basic principles of the game.

One of the most often overlooked ones is that this is a TEAM sport.

Yes, yes it is. Many of the complaints that players have vanish when they work as a team. I'm sorry that there's no magical way to make that happen for all of us. Forming a team is something we need to accomplish on our own.

So please anyone viewing videos on that channel, keep in mind that its not the cutting bleeding edge min maxing channel. These videos are to show some basics about the featured ships along with the ways in which some fundamental abilities interact to compliment each other that some players just may not be aware of yet.

So in short I guess what I'm trying to say is

I know PVP seems awful at times. I feel that way too. I don't know all the answers, but I do know a few. I know that Teamwork is always one of those answers, and that it is most often the single best answer. And I do know that covering some basics and fully understanding them goes a long way towards helping players realizing what is ACTUALLY going on in PVP.

I'm not going to say it makes it any better. Just that you get to be more accurate in what it is you hate.

So join OPVP, join the InsaneMimePosse, Sadpandacubs, or whatever to get more exacting and specific tips as to what is going on for YOU in particular for PVP. And leave the videos for some basics, some dog and pony show demos.....

and for laughs......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9KTU2zZthE&feature=plcp


Cheers happy flying! And if you read this far grats 2u!

    I also think what's funny is how, except for the last video, most of the info might be a tad dated... :P
    You think that your beta test was bad?
