EVE Online - The Glassing of Venal - A New Campaign to the North

An update on life. TEST, Panfam and NC. Muninn fleet dine with BOSS and friends in Venal, a valueble strategic position that is a good staging ground against several major friendly alliances and coalitions. We also look at the Cerberus's tactical advantage vs sniping HACs, and how good FCs and good positioning helps to overcome them.
Server performance was notably poor, with frequent disconnects with little to no Tidi.

hey there! i'm a member of B0SS, so to me it's very interesting to see the other side of this conflict! i'm a bit sad that i wasn't able to make it to this fight, but i was at QHJ, and hope to be at future fights as well. i'm hopeful they turn out as well as QHJ did for us, but i'm also not going to fool myself into believing our structures will stay forever. sometimes when the bloc gets its collective mind set on a task there isn't much a smaller group like us can do. it's just the nature of the beast. still, we've been through this dance with FRT before, and even they couldn't force us out. plus i feel obligated to point out there are NPC stations in Venal, so nobody can ever truly force us out. we will adapt, as we always have. in any case, i do look forward to seeing your perspective on this going forward. i've always enjoyed your videos... i just never expected to be in one. o7

Your vids have always captured the battlefield in multiple ways. From a tactical standpoint, and also the beauty of it! Glad to be flying alongside while you are on these fleets, as you know how to display EVE at its best and show why so many of us enjoy this game! Your YZ9 vid one of my favorites, and the music you use enhances the different moments perfectly! Hope to see more in the near future!

[@AHigherPerspective]

[@Jonah-554]

Please make more videos - only you can convince me to finally give Eve another shot :D (really love your editing, storytelling and overall "feeling" of your videos) As a side note: Maybe you could mix in a couple of videos of other games you play? If thats something on your mind :)

[@AHigherPerspective]

Haha, EVE is certainly a niche game, the time and reward ratio is not very good given the current state of the game. I really want to start doing videos of more games. But while I am away from home I am gaming with a 6 year old laptop so it kind of struggles a bit at newer titles. But I will definitely try something soon.

[@thalleousscendaris4550]

Ive been here and been enjoying ur videos pretty much since the mid war period and hope u keep making such great eve videos about great conflicts. Im now a CEO of a smalgang corp in Pandemic horde which i wasnt at the time when i used to watch this channel back in june of 2021

Every one of your videos are breathtaking. This game is, something. Eve, a game I’m so scared of it’s tempted me yet scared me for years. Sometimes I hop on, jump in the porp and mine. My mind begins to wonder, I really want to do what you do in eve, even just spectate these battles but something keeps me from it. Probably my full time job lol

[@AHigherPerspective]

Hi! Thanks very much, I'm glad you are enjoying them! There are far more times when you spend 2-3 hours in this game in a fleet and have no action than there are good fights unfortunately. You have to invest a lot of time to have a little pay off here and there.

[@CarlosianBigWang]

@@AHigherPerspective yeah I’ve tried over the years, but like you just said unfortunately it’s a huge time sink to be able to get these quick (in the grand scale of things) engagements. Plus man I’ve been ganked and lost multiple porps and that’s a kick in the balls to me I couldn’t imagine loosing a ship worth 50k irl. I appreciate you replying! Hope pilot training is going well bro=]

I don't play any more "life" but always a pleasure to watch one of your videos even if I no longer like the direction this game has taken it will always have a place in my heart "money over quality"

I've said it before, but I'm excited every time you drop a video. You are quite simply the best battle reporter in Eve. Thank you for your videos. I hope you continue to produce them, but IRL is important, too.

[@343Guilty1]

As a boss member, I’d like to say as a small disclaimer, during that fight we had quite a few DCs which is why we weren’t able to break any muninns, would have been fun if we had a few more kills but it was a good scrap regardless. We made up for it in QHJ, can’t wait to see what future fights hold. I’m not sure about everyone else, but I see these forts as content, and nothing else. Who cares about structures and sov, I just want gud fights, and this “glassing” has been fun. Y’all are alright in my book

[@AHigherPerspective]

Yeah the server performance was quite wonky. Eventhough theres not much tidi it was reallllly bad lag. We had quite a few disconnects on our side as well. Don't mind the "glassing" in the title, its just there for theatrics, you guys are definitely holding your own. I was super excited to see the Tactical recloner on the Nyx in QHJ and I knew this was going to be a good one! I hope to have a video of that out after the work week. Great fight guys.

[@thehaneranga422]

Great content dude, hope you can upload more frequently

[@Sjolus]

As multiple others I'll join in and kind of voice my immediate reactions. It's always a great experience to watch your videos, your perspective and your storytelling skills are always on point. Looking a bit at this conflict from the outside leaves a bit of a sour taste, I guess, given the political circumstances and the likely outcome on the influence map. But it's not the line members nor the FC's job to pick the battles at this scale, so I can't quite ask you as a content provider to go another direction. All I hope for is more videos from you, as I enjoy every single one of them.

[@AHigherPerspective]

I do feel that we definitely used a bigger hammer than necessary here. But they are not as helpless as you think, we just disengaged against them in another battle where I feel like we were outplayed pretty hard. I should have a video up in a few days,

[@Sjolus]

​@@AHigherPerspective Looking forward to that video! Also to clarify, I'd never call b0ss helpless. I honestly think they're good people, regardless of my history getting my moons farmed by them. It's a shame someone decided they didn't deserve having structures anymore, that is all.

I am still in the middle of pilot training. It's certainly been some difficult times on my end but I'm pushing through. I've made some content regarding my training on my other KZbin page "A Higher Perspective Media". I am planning on doing a full documentary about the pilot training plan as I get closer to completion. Please let me know if you have any questions at all and I will gladly answer them.

[@alinajmaldin]

@@AHigherPerspective Thanks for the reply. Just saw the other channel and it's awesome! I've been studying for the CFAT and Aircrew selection for the past few months. I just have no idea of the difficulty I will face. How hard was it for you to be selected for a pilot slot? I am almost 24, if I may ask, at what age did you apply? Thank you for the help! I will keep applying until I get in :) You know, I was planning on doing videos documenting the whole process as well to help others in a similar situation :)

[@AHigherPerspective]

The CFAT itself is not too bad. You want to make sure you score really well in the spatial ability test. Aircrew selection on the other hand is challenging. I went through selection at 34 years of age, and only 4 of 30 that was selected. Keep in mind you are not pvping other candidates in the room, you either have the score to move on or you don't. There are several apps and other resources to help you be successful. So I highly recommend you use them to your advantage. Be sure to pop on to my other page and say hello when you start filming! Love me some air force contents :) best of luck.

How does your fleet move as one, that's pretty cool. Is there a feature that makes your ship follow FC?

You just have to select the FC and select approach. Your ship will follow him until he's dead. You can also use keep at range.

[@tenon13]

Your fighting or the wrong team

[@ganthrithor]

Look: your video productions are good (I really do mean that: they're one of the closer things I've seen to the old Rooks and Kings videos in terms of format, which is a refreshing change from the usual dubstep-over-sped-up-FRAPs format of EVE videos), but the material you are forced to present as a consequence of your choice of alliance membership is um... suboptimal? It hurts the content from a narrative perspective: it's hard to make an intense, dramatic video about a bunch of big alliances showing up with what looks like 3x the numbers to dogpile a lone Cerb fleet presumably fielded by a bunch of NPC-null dwellers desperately trying to defend their little fiefdom against a substantially larger attacking force. The narrative was already kind of absurd when it was about the Delve conflict, but at least then you guys were fighting a worthy (although dramatically smaller) adversary. If you want to produce compelling content from a narrative perspective and improve your gameplay, you need to run as far away from alliances like NCdot as you can: they're just a pile of cowards with big egos whose decidedly-average EVE skills quickly degenerate into piss-poor performance the second any actual pressure is applied to them. They constantly seek out the most lopsided engagements to pad their killboards and feed their egos. You will have a hard time getting better at the game or finding yourself inspiring narrative topics for videos by playing with that kind of group. IMO if you only have so much time available to play EVE, you should spend it doing something other than blobbing out smaller groups in laggy fleet battles. You'll enjoy yourself more, and the videos will be more interesting. Just my two cents. BTW: this is how you kill a Claymore elegantly: zkillboard.com/kill/92457133/ -- HACs are ships for the lazy and unimaginative :P I do hope you keep producing videos, although I'm sure your training is going to leave you increasingly-less free time as it goes on. The level of systems and procedures knowledge you're going to need to internalize is *intense*. Don't let the EVE stuff hold you back!
