EVE Online - Graveyard of Giants - Encounter at EC-P8R

[@AHigherPerspective]

Hi everyone, I never thought this video would get so much exposure so I would like to say thank you to everyone for watching. I will try to explain more things next time there is a major fight. If anyone from the Imperium is watching and would like to collaborate on a video so that I can include both sides of the battle (with comms), please send give me a shout. Thank you, stay safe!

LOL That one Heretic..." BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"! XD made my day.

[@yourrandomstuff1057]

I did no understand a single thing but man it so cool.

[@AHigherPerspective]

Haha. Think of it as line battle of ships focus firing on a target. Repeat that 500 times and you have an EVE fleet battle. It's not as exciting as smaller scale engagement where battles are more "fluid'

[@dionysis_]

A Higher Perspective are you zoomed out cause you are the commander and everyone else is zoomed in?

[@AHigherPerspective]

@@dionysis_ Naw, I'm just a front line soldier. I zoom out just to capture the scope of the battle. I would imagine the fleet commander is doing the same thing for enhanced situational awareness.

[@michaelwise6970]

You would love this game, it's so addicting and very very fun.. especially PvP 👍

[@RyanTheHuehue]

Me, who never played EVE: "Man, how can you understand anything that is going on to give commands??"

[@AHigherPerspective]

There are some very specific ships that do specific roles in EVE, and he shouts off some of the commands to them to make sure it gets done. For front liner soldiers, you just shoot whomever's name comes up in the little window in the bottom right hand corner, Its actually quite easy.

[@Ozrico1o1]

Eve's Overview, the tool that gives you a list of the belligerents, is what is giving the Fleet Commander the tactical info to choose a target, and he does that based on range & shiptype (role). Notice that you only hear the FC, with occasional updates from the logistical FC (the healers) for his fleet, which the FC needs to know. Those are the only ones you hear on comms, but the FC is also linked to various others in chat that are keeping eyes on the enemy's various bases in other systems within reach of the fight in order to know if the opposing force is preparing to send more ships or not. So the FC depends on many others to have a successful outcome, it's not all on him.

[@OnlyFinsCanada]

When you're like me and have never played more than 1 hour of EVE to come to the conclusion that it's wayyy to complicated for you and you watch this, you're very lost :)

[@AHigherPerspective]

Haha I hear ya. Time is a precious resource for me as well. I just shoot who he tells me to shoot.

[@larryhorton8384]

Eve is an extremely fun and addictive game. Just as most space/sci-fi sandbox MMOs, it looks a lot more complicated than it really is. That's not to say it is really simple, it just has almost two decades of it's user interface being refined into something easy to control.

[@arnoldkim5135]

Let's just say that you'd have to grind and farm for a couple of years to to have your skills high enough to do this shit. And need to grind and farm a several months to coup your losses you saw on this short clip.

[@Jonah-554]

Even though I just started with Eve and have no idea what's happening, this was such a nice video in terms of narration/audio/etc - really looking forward to more videos from you (discovered your channel after your video " Graveyard of Giants II" popped up in my recommendations)

[@AHigherPerspective]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you stick with it and come bak and rewatch some of my videos so you can understand whats going on.

[@up1oader1]

Great video and commentary. The Commentary makes these videos. I was there in the late eagle fleet. Unfortunately, it needed to have formed a lot earlier and at that point in the fight it really didn’t have a chance. GF

[@AHigherPerspective]

Gf indeed. I think the fight would have been dramatically different if the eagle fleet was on station with the rest of your fleet.

[@jonathanohagan1349]

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

Great fight! One of the best I've ever seen. Been playing since 2004. You guys did an amazing job. Top notch fc

Nice to see another old soul. I've been around on and off since the beta in mid 2002 ;) I'm sure we must have crossed paths ingame.

This video is awesome! I enjoy the style you're using to record, combining close ups and larger tactical views. The high resolution is also beautiful. Great work!

I'm a brand new player, two weeks in. I have absolutely no idea what's going on, but this video makes it look epic and one day I want to be a part of something like this too! Thanks for getting my heartbeat up!

Stay well away from the game bud for your own sanity.. there are very good reasons why the eve population is so low now

[@doubleheadedeagle6769]

So...did the developers leave hundreds of wrecks orbiting a planet? Is it a monument to that battle? Now that would be impressive.

[@AHigherPerspective]

Unfortunately, most of the wrecks will either be salvaged for components or straight up shot at to prevent enemy salvage. However, there are a few locations in the universe where certain titan wrecks remain I believe and they are there just as you said. Monuments.

[@bogustoast22none25]

To be fair, it adds to the lore to have several of those remain, as the video is aptly called “The graveyard of giants”

[@FelixMaterial]

Three years ago I will salvage everything I could.

[@Jariid]

It wasn't the biggest fight or even one of the biggest, monuments would have to be for things that break the norm entirely. Not just the next record.

[@codeHDN]

I was there, lost 2 HAC's was in our first and second subcap fleet. Not sure what was going on I don't think we broke a single eagle of UFC/friends

[@AHigherPerspective]

Hi. Thanks for coming (twice!). We had a really oddly high number of logis that night for some reason, and our high resist against projectiles combined with the Eagle's nearly 90k EHP overheated combined really benefited us here. Volta's tracking disruptors definitely made a big impact on your damage application as well. I was definitely concerned that your 2nd fleet would indeed by AB fit Eagles, i think we would have suffered more losses for sure.

[@TwoGunz2008]

[@TheDwarfishjoe]

As someone who's never played this game, sincerely.... wtf is going on?

[@AHigherPerspective]

Bad guys came to destroy a friendly structure. Bunch of like-minded dudes banded together to help fend off the bad guys. Lots of stuff died on both sides defending the structure.

[@bogustoast22none25]

Logi (loh-gee) refers to logistics ships that focus solely on repairing friendly ships by either mending armor or restoring energy shields. Kiki (kee-kee) which is short for Kikimora, a destroyer sized ship in game, the ship (and all that fall in the same family of ships) have are unique in the sense that they are good at repairing friendly (but not their own) armor while maintaining a decent firepower. What makes it unique is that no other type of known ship is a decent hybrid at both damage and repairing, making fleets of these ships extremely dangerous as every single ship is a healer, and every single healer is also fighting. Dreadnought, think ships the size of Star destroyers from Star Wars. Titans, think of SSDs from Star Wars, with a mini Death Star shot if allowed. Purples are friendly, reds are enemies. HAC (pronounced hack) stands for Heavy Assault Cruisers. Heavily combat oriented. They are the sluggers of almost every fight. I hope these terms help you understand what’s going on.

A blob of dots shoot beams at another blob of dots, and you make a shit ton of video game money.

[@KeyOrion]

The fight was very interesting to watch. A will admit, I was unable to follow any of the lingo. Did see a lot of head hunting. Specific ships, or players being called out to be destroyed. But was completely lost. I did notice two things. One the purple violet group was more of a shield, with very few specific spike attacks against certain vessels on called targets. Would love to have heard the enemy red forces comms to hear the other side of the battle. Red was like a snake, big long string that was slowly being cut to pieces. An ability to change your tactics and strategy on the fly is the best defense. An inability to alter your plans and continue in a straight line, knowing that their is a grinder at the end of the line, probably not so smart. I WOULD LOVE to hear the other sides version of this battle for a clear cut look at both sides of the battle.

[@AHigherPerspective]

Great eye! The game is terribly difficult to decipher if you dont play it. But you got the most of it. Purples are people in the friendly fleet, grey are neutrals (who we were helping, and some helping the enemy), and reds are baddies. The big towering capital ships were just duking it out in their own little battle while the smaller sub capitals (us) were trying to kill each other. The way these ships are fitted is so that we can quickly all focus on a target and destroy them in 1-2 volley so that the enemy cannot repair them in time. The reinforcement being thrown in the grinder is just part of the fun, the enemy flew a long way to get here, its more fun for the boys and girls to try to get some kills instead of turning around and going home. Had all the enemy fleet been on the field at the same time the battle would have been very brutal for both sides. I would love to in the future see it from their side as well and incorporate it into the video so we can see where it went wrong for each of the side.

@@AHigherPerspective prob going to get flamed for this but i apreciate the star citizen gameplay more. not bashing eve or elite just not what I want. but again. great video. well done.

[@AHigherPerspective]

@@TheCort1971 Thanks a lot. EVE is a pretty old game with some really old code that hinders it's future development. I don't think anyone would flame you for wanting Star Citizen style of gameplay. I believe a large crowd would switch over in a heartbeat, even if they won't admit it. I very much look forward to Star Citizen to come to fruition.

I think more and more to came back in new eden, et see this kind of fight... Sorry my life, my gun need to do the talking!

[@AHigherPerspective]

Fights like these are pretty rare to be honest, I was just lucky to be there to capture it.

I guess it safe to say that my knowledge of stellaris combat systems is similar to EVE online, if not i had no idea how it work

[@AHigherPerspective]

EVE has it's meta lineup of ship that particularly strong and that generally what ends up in fleet engagements. There are several other ship types as well that compliments it. Webbers (which slows down the target to be easier shot at) and scramblers (to prevent them from warping off), or interdictors (those big bubbles you see, it prevents ANYONE from warping while in them). I would say its a very complicated game of rock, paper, scissors....with a lot of yelling.

Probably one of the most fun fights I have fced

So i've never played Eve Online, when I first saw it in '08, I was a teen with no $ flow, and as of 2016, I had assumed the game would die soon. But then I saw that galactic news real about the "Biggest battle Ever!" where they lost, I think it was, over IRL $2M worth of ships, or something like that. It's been a couple years. I still don't have the time or opening in my current gaming list to get into it like the game deserves, but I LOVE watching the galactic news, and seeing the player driven lore and history this game has developed over the years. I DO have to ask though... do shipwrecks stick around unless cleaned up by someone?

[@AHigherPerspective]

Thanks for watching! The wrecks do stay around for a little bit. But the wrecks can contain some of the modules and weapons that was equipped in the now dead ships (which are very expensive). There are also special types of ships that can come and salvage the wreck itself for valuable construction parts of the ships themselves which can overall bring down the cost to replace them. If we are in hostile space, and won the engagement, we will shoot the wrecks and destroy them, so that our enemies cannot salvage some of their cost back.

[@NationalDevin]

@@AHigherPerspective I was wondering how well salvage procedure works in Eve. I watched that tutorial that is, as he says, "Not really a tutorial, but just a video to keep you from being Incompetent at playing eve" awhile ago, and I saw that Security has a huge deal to do with you being safe, unless you're a faction war player, so I imagine that it depends on which type of player you are, but I was more curious about it on the Micro level. How policed scrap is, if it's protected or abandoned by the groups in question regularly, if people wait on the outskirts of fights just to go swoop in, if pirates bait people. I'm sure there's contexts for someone doing everything, but I'm curious because if I do decide to play, I feel like I'd try to stick to a certain region of space and establish myself as a trader of some sort. I don't want to be in a faction for awhile, but a faction proxy would be nice lol.

I feel like a regular man looking at the Matrix green code. I can't understand what I am seeing but you guys car just "see" through it.

[@AHigherPerspective]

Pretty much it....Its pretty hard to get into, but once you play it for a bit everything starts to make sense. The game is much more interesting in small scale engagements.
