The Lioneye's Watch wants some PvP clips

So here is the video from yesterday:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBhlFyQaR84

Some highlights:
28:36 - a hot swap, taking out CWDTS and swappin for more BCR to be able to kill fox, an aegis tank
1:05:24 - a draw match
and if you click through it you can find multiple 3-4 matches

Also sorry for the frame drops, it is only like that in the video, I don't know what causes it, I recorded by OBS, but my game was going smoothly, you can hear the audio correctly tho. Is there any fix to that kind of recording lag?


Another good video for hightlight, Lapiz vs Libri:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdaiGCwTt1k

It seems a more classic match, pretty balanced, long rounds, some flask management, positioning, weapon swaps etc.


Rlowe, you always manage to be negative, we got it, you are mad at the guild, get over it please? As far as I saw people had fun during our 3v3s. I think we had good diversity in our video. The molten shell build is still not that popular, I've seen only a few people use it. I know showing EA or other mainstream builds too much wouldn't be good, but fortunately we lacked those in yesterday's video. The video you linked is however showcasing non meta builds, try to look at it objectively, it is very one-sided, quickly over, and imo in the eyes of new players seem just as broken.

highlights;

start of the round:

"libritannia: prepare for 270k"

"libritannia has suicided"

The real highlights of the Lapiz vs Lib video are the comments being disabled, and the like/dislike ratio lol

Marcuszscsz, calm down, you barely qualify as a member of that guild anyway, I could hardly associate you with them lol I'm not mad at it, just disappointed in it, sad for it, even.

And yea, the video I linked is one-sided, I'm much much better than most of firestick's characters, but like you said, the point of my video is to showcase non-meta builds still being able to compete; PVP isn't always about what skills win easiest. As for your video, I wouldn't exactly say yours would be enticing to people new to PVP, it just looks like one big chaotic clusterfuck of CWDT everything, but whatever. I mean, that's the state of PVP right there.

New people won't realise what's meta or not in PvP, only we do.

I know how my video looks, but PvE has CoC and all that, so It won't be too unfamiliar to people.

However, I would still suggest the other video I linked over any other.

Good video of those 3v3s. That's what you need to put on a podcast to show GGG. Then offer a few challenges to GGG themselves or other streamers. To A. use a namelock skill in that setting B. survive hits C. not lag D. claim there is skill here or that with enough gearing/skillful play you can beat it. F. find this enjoyable and not laugh at how stupid it is.

-accusing Npc but using Wispering ice is pretty hilarious.

Full aoe skill you just need to stand in place, stack es and int and why not curse on hit to fuck melee over. Melt anyone in 0.5 sec. Really if you want to complain about broken builds, WI is not a good counter exemple. Also full GS WI builds super broken too.

-Not sure what PT really want, but my bet it is to promote pvp.
Posting molten builds, EA zerphi and other shit like that will just make reddit go : "pvp? fuck this shit"

-Mulla right tho, highlights of those broken builds could be great if PT then show it in GGG face so they take responsability a little about their lack of balance.


To me afhack video is a tiny bit better exemple of what pvp should be: a chess game not a 1 click win button.

Lib vs lapiz was fun too but EA is kind of same old same old if you want people to discover something new.

I'm still right though. Plus, nobody really cares about WI because it's not like every cookie-cutter WI build does well in PVP without mirror-worthy items. I've seen maybe like, three or four total during my time in PVP, and only two of them have done well, and I've been the only one to stick with it. lol I don't stand in place for the most part (depends on who I'm fighting), stack int (mine's at 925 I think?), or use curse on hit, that's all scrub-tier shit ;) Not a lot of good WI builds around, so no, WI is a pretty good counter example, especially because it has trouble with high-block builds and generally lacks the damage needed to take out tanker enemies who can get out of the way of multiple stacks. You make WI sound good in theory, but it's not really that simple. Also, what full GS builds aren't completely broken, let's be real lol

But you are right about posting meta shit, nobody's into PVP as it is, but if they see all that kind of shit, it's gonna get even less positive attention, and reddit downvotes just about everything as it is, those dickwads. I do think showing more "off-the-beaten-path" builds would be a bit more beneficial if PT was going to promote PVP in any way, but for people to stick with PVP, it needs fixing. Showing videos of how fucked up everything is would be pointless, since we've pointed everything out already, here on the forums. The less shit-tastic meta we show off, hopefully less people will use them. We already saw what happened when Mathil invented FW/LA before Rup, and showed everyone ;)

Not sure exactly what you're looking for - but take your pick...

I upload most of the vids based upon my characters, but our guild has a decent variety of pvp matches spanning the past few months, along with some more recent matches - granted these were more intended for our viewing pleasure rather than the pvp community at large so they are not edited. Crass language might be found.

However, a caveat - you won't find any matches with the usual suspects. No 'Tear Wunnies'

Just from there till about 10 seconds later, all you really need.

Honestly any of the HLD clips won't attract a majority of the podcast watchers, especially if it'll just be used as background videos w/o commentary. It's already evident from PT's viewers when he holds the LLD events, that people think LLD is broken as fuck just coz they don't understand how shit works. Imagine how the average viewer will feel seeing shit blowing up without any explanation at all.

If ya'll think showing GGG and the public how broken HLD is right now will get them to fix things, then you're bordering delusional. GGG can't even balance the base game or give qol to shit like trading, what makes you think they'll suddenly put more focus into balancing something less than 50 people do? That goes for both LLD and HLD.

Back on topic, I think any of the more balanced matches we had in the last 3v3s would be good background videos for the podcast PT, just don't pick the srs vs arc mine curbstomps.
