Savage 2 PVP VIDEO

[exezic]

You should get TotalBiscuit to upload this to youtube, since he's got one of those "special" accounts that allows him to have clips >10 min

That was an amazing video!

As a new player (Came with the 10-buck sale) I learned alot from it, and was well entertained at the same time.

A great initiative to make an instructional video like this instead of the usual "Watch me pwn" vids that are usually made in games.

Thanks for it.

Thank you. =)

It's good to know that it's having the effect I was aiming for. New players can learn from it, and veteran players can still find stuff to enjoy. ^^

Please do!

When I said first of what I hope to be many videos, I didn't mean that I would be the only author. <3

And actually none of those clips were included because I wanted to single you or anyone else out.

The entire video was made in 1 day. I spent the afternoon playing 2 games, the evening going through the 2 replays, then frapsing it. Then most of the night editing it and I let it render till morning. I woke up and uploaded it and made this topic. ^^

All the clips were included because they illustrate some of my personal rules for fighting.

The stuff I explain is only half the thought that's put into the way I prefer to fight. ^^
And I didn't even scratch how to use Ranged Weapons, Back Blocking, Fake QA or any significant use of the Dodge mechanic.

You (and DOS) were the only really veteran players I fought on that server that day. So I took a clip where DOS annihilated me and one where I managed to make a "come back" from low health vs you.

I can only really use my own footage because I can't exactly sit down, record, slow-mo and explain why some guy is fighting the way he is. I can only explain why I fight the way I do.

That's the new animation for the commander armor debuff.

In order to remove the "Connection Interrupted" message thing that shows when watching replays I watched them with the Test Server client.

I do hope you make even more vids in the future tho. Looking forward to any upcoming PVP vids

ah, I should've put 2 and 5 together and got the 4 when I noticed the Connection Interrupted logo I complained about for months was gone.

[ambiate]

isn't that the new mana shield item that dumps all your mana pool into an protective armor? maybe it's the 1 dispel per minute item though.

We need more videos like this btw, I won't mind getting pwnd for a good cause!

Hijacked!

Actually, if you load up savage 2, go to practice mode. Quit practice, then join a server and you can see the blue swords and hear the *swish* when someone gets armor debuffed. Bad thing is you lose the animation for getting an armor buff.
