Rooks and Kings VidBR: Battle in Notoras (1080p available)

[@Kiljaedenas]

One of the best Eve battle videos I have ever seen, if not the best.

[@makhoe1]

Eve cannot begin until a corporation sets aside their social inanities, bro-texting, or enshrining-ISK, etc. Eve comes alive when teams pursue the diligent application of relevant information through well-rehearsed fleet mischief. That is why RnK's youtube videos may well remain definitive. I'm so jealous. God-dammit.

[@Fedithan]

I have to hand it to you, the monologue was well done, the detail put into the video was exponentially entertaining and insightful. Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@Flyinghotpocket]

those heavy pulses sounds should NEVER have been taken out of the game.

[@Pazuzu6]

they gimped so many weapon visuals and sounds, downright criminal. Blasters looked amazing and railguns sounded amazing too. Pulses and beams were glorious as well. what a shame.

[@wildadv7263]

other than heavy blasters the newer sound effects arent as cool. Heavy blasters are mean though :)

[@jebadiahkerman7846]

Too many gun sound nerfs... I'm glad they fixed the small lasers though, god those were annoying. Though the GZZRRRRRRRRR of the medium heavy beam laser was too good... Also the tachyons and 425mm rails.

[@ChaoThing]

Songs in this are from the Arcana album "The Last Embrace", the tracks appearing in this order being: Love Eternal, ...The Last Embrace, Diadema Excellent video, Rooks and Kings have amazing class. =)

[@ecabernet]

I was one of few who survived this fight. My drake is still there. Such shame : /

[@Kiljaedenas]

Utterly awesome vid!!! Not many battle vids are right in the thick of the combat like that, they're often from a long distance away. Great choice of music too, and good information to boot!

[@kartikm24]

excellent video, excellent quality, excellent clarity in voice, excellent explanation, excellent tactics, excellent team work, excellent job....... this is how u earn respect in eve and uve earned mine

[@zerokmatrix]

Excellent video as always. I love the commentary, I can always follow what is going on in your videos. Thank you for posting and please post more like this.

[@MrEarnil]

One of the best videos I've ever watched about a video game.

[@Q3Cyrus]

Beauty in execution by a true FC. Respect and congratulations.

[@eveonline247]

This video is way BEYOND stunning!

[@Markcus1986]

learnt so much from such detailed battles, keep up the good work cheers !

[@slycooper5455]

Man, your Battle Reports are epic!!!! You deserve more subs!

[@Wheeler711]

That video was amazing please make more like this one. It is so entertaining and informational. Good job man!

[@karrakis]

You blokes and gals bring elegance to EVE. Much respect.

[@Jamahllobb]

You are showing people the way eve is meant to be played. Great use of tactics! Would love to fly in a group like that any day!

[@captainjonna1034]

i`ve never watched an EvE battle before, mostly because all you see is user interface windows every where that was an epic battle and its nice to see battle up close.

[@MartyBeardFace]

12:54 Karl Blackheart was the CEO of my corp, Bar Noir after this! What a small world

[@adrianshaw727]

May I just take the time to say that left me with a warm fuzzy feeling (Dirty and Emmyl). The cinematic/editing and commentary... where next to NON! thank you from a relatively noob player. No other "large" corp. has this level of production /salute

[@theAessaya]

I wish i could say "I was there", but, sadly, i wasn't. Awesome BR, as always!

[@tougenokaibutsu]

excellent videos from you guys, some of my favorites, cheers!

[@emikochan13]

stunning fight, fantastic editing and music. o7

[@HellownElijah]

Its also worth noting, to add to Hobbesrs points, that enemy fleets will often primary the guardians if they cannot kill the DPS. If you were fighting against this fleet in eve, (the Rooks and Kings fleet), your best bet would be to either jam or kill the guardians. They field 9, and be it 5/1 or 4/2 fit, you're still pushing 36 large remote reps. You engage a guardian, you ave the potential of eliminating 4 or 5 of those reps instantly. Thats why you mostly see guardians being repaired.

[@emerett2409]

poor immyl

[@rietveen26]

this deserves so many more views! awesome!

[@blahman919]

I can't wait to get into my big logi ship for the first time. Watching this just makes me want to be able to fly it sooner.

[@deathscreton]

Watching these videos, I realize how intense faction wars can really get. I just started Eve over a month ago, recently got into my Raven and learned the hard way the rules of engagement via classes of ships and which could do what damage. Fortunately, I didn't let this stagger my cause, and now, I'm working towards many things that will make me a viable asset on the field. Whatever I may be piloting, I hope to one day don a memory of a battle as destructive and amazing as this.

[@PatrickDunca]

I agree with Fedithan. As someone who doesn't play EVE but thinks it's beautiful it is nice to be able to see what it's like for long-term members. With the excellent story-telling and production values of this series of videos I wonder how many other viewers are non-players too. And as a non-player, I'd love to know how you afford to purchase and maintain such fleets in the first place. Would you consider doing a background video on this?

[@TFHxPESTILENCE]

whoa this was uploaded right after my birthday!! yay

[@WyvernFalken]

I don't understand why I don't get the amplified explosion sounds and the ship explosion effects....Did that all go away with Incarna?

[@unwucht1529]

was Caish FC back then? I love RnK videos and their approach. but headshoting in the beginning of the fight is a nasty strategy :P

[@KillerShark73]

Just found your channel. Great stuff. Look forward to more.

[@Jaigarful]

I like the Hawk at 12:00 thats tracking disrupting his Guardian.

[@t7412j]

my first t3 fleet with RnK :) you never forget your first time.

[@5000g]

geat vid and narration. clarion call 2 still my most favorite though :) after winter expansion arrives i really look forward to an R&K vid then.

[@ChristopherMoye]

terrific as usual.

[@thepeginator2556]

Anyone else notice the ECCM burn out at 18:00? Even the pros make mistakes! Can't get enough of RnK vids!

[@Havak37]

Love your vidyah's. You have the voice and story telling to really make it entertaining. Also good info. Eve nooblet

[@GeoDota]

The enemy here lacked webs for the primary, this cost them the entire fight, you can't expect to kill a guardian without webs.

[@Eveproguides]

Very cool R&K. I love your videos.

[@Kiljaedenas]

No kidding, the enemy fleet split dps like crazy, from his watch list alone which didn't include his entire side I sometimes saw at least three guys getting hit. The FC of the enemy fleet didn't know what he was doing.

[@blitzfultime]

the good doctor is a great narrator.

[@bengacris]

I'm still kind of a newb at fleet PVP and PVP in overall, but from what I understand, the role of the Guardians was to heal themselves together while giving cap to DPS ships? Because I only saw Guardians being targeted through the video. Thanks.

[@GROGOLOG]

they fit eccm and sometimes remote eccm to boost signal strength massivly, it would be impossible to jam out a significant amount of the reps at once. unless ofc they had like 50 ecm boats

[@andreassjoberg3145]

ECM Bombs then ? Are they a viable option ? Never really used them except as GTFO-lastditch for when FC-ing from a cloaky and being caught on a gate.

[@Varagbogrot]

Any reason that the ship velocity was obscured?

[@karrakis]

@mattgandroid Nonsense. As Dr. House once said when Thirteen asked why she wasn't fired: "because you're the only person in my employ who I'm certain will never make that mistake again."

[@Michael-Harrison544]

rooks n kings.. wish i played with you guys.. the only alliance i fallowed on youtube.. if you guys make a comeback on Eve Online.. hit Lt Harrison of Exiled Kings up.. we miss you guys

[@DeepAxion]

Arcana is the artist. Diadema is the song that's most often used by R&K and probably the one people like most.

[@bobaafett8177]

One of the greatest small gang alliances in the game.

[@hobbesrs]

Not quiet, the Gaurdian's heal themselves as well as the DPS. They only give the dps cap if the the DPS calls for it, otherwise the Gaurdians are capping eachother permanently so they can run the reps.

[@HellownElijah]

There is that as well. Any number of thing could have affected the fight, but given what both fleets had, the FCON/MH fleet were just out played.

[@salehram]

That is completely right! kudos and hearts to every logistics pilot out there

[@romenyrr]

Anyone have a link for the Loki setups they were running?

[@thecardigiant]

you guys are awesome fairplay !

[@eveDjakku]

"Boudicca in her chariot providing moral support" -only Maldoror ^^

[@ajsb1986]

I hope my alliance never fights R&K with malicious intent. For my alliance has R&K's videos to thank for my interest in being a Logi pilot, and I have all the respect in the world for them based off their videos.

[@danbuffington75]

I keep wanting to link up and getting nervous when I don't see a cap on the Guardian...

[@Mazra42]

True, but the scale of the battle aside, the strategy is the same, which is kinda cool. Makes it easier to transition from one to the other. ;)

[@Ravendager]

If you would have noticed that is not a sensor booster that is a ECCM.. You know the thing that keeps others from jamming you.. lol

[@VukLau]

Excellent video

[@peacemazer]

RIP ECCM :(

[@Skabet88]

that's just insanly good

[@topanteon]

I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive Rooks and Kings for not making their ticker RnK instead of melee....

[@ravenk7149]

them old pulse laser sounds :D

[@DestroyerofWorlds0x]

+Justin Ayala pew pew :D

[@mad0314]

I think it was sitting inside the bubble. They said they were at a POS, right? 4:08

[@nemahs]

Same, I became a logi pilot because of R&K.

[@daFUNKxx]

Outstanding, Incredible, Legendary, Biblical. All come to mind. 8)

[@juMAlol1]

whar server you on?

[@ainumahtar]

Why only after watching these? Every time an enemy fleet switches prime because they can't break reps I'm proud as hell :P

[@stargater]

sheer class! awesome logi pilots....

[@feelsgoodnow]

Your kidding right. You can never have to much logi or to many falcons in almost any situation.

[@doorran]

great story telling.

[@robbroome]

major split dps going on there..if they focused fire it might have been differant...

[@Boxghost102]

what was with the stiletto?

[@aKeckers1]

That's simply a ridiculous number of logistics for the size of your gang. Especially considering the resists on the T3s. That logistics ratio is almost as bad as a 20 man fleet bring 5 falcons.

[@mattm7007]

What ever happened to Rooks and Kings?

[@Kana-vx2ec]

Moved to Chinese servers.

[@bastiaan248]

Lovely video

[@xDImGellinDx]

The narration is post-battle

[@rostyloco1]

simply epic

[@Sgmorris0054]

R&k kick ass i cant wait for them to opening up there door for new members!!! i went in

[@hobbesrs]

12:42 battle itty 5? XD

[@mingiasi]

lol i found myself trying to scroll out from the ship view during the vid.

[@diggindeepforlove7296]

Come back!!!

[@Hezv1]

Oh my the nerd chills... they dont stop!

[@AvalabilityPending]

All I have to say is, your triage and guardian video's have made me want to be a logistics pilot. I cannot wait to get into a guardian and then an archon :) Just call me the mini AgentXer0 :P

[@venisbad]

Leet pvp, I love droping a proteus and guardian in a a drop. I dont like flying more then that in a fleet

[@mils0r]

Is DirtyDirty still playing the game?

[@xCeeJayy]

Brilliant.

[@Clod15]

This battle was won because of immyl coming back. if they killed her or she kept going into space, Ithink you wouldn't have been able to save the guardian "dirty" that was dying. and it wouldof all went down from there. GREAT VIDEO! btw

[@ronniprivat]

im new to eve my self....but i must dammit this fight looks very crazy :-)

[@Liam40]

They receive remote energy from other logis

[@JohnnyRuff27]

they have like no cap usage

[@VaernSul]

do you even lift ?

[@Sergeo333]

relaxing voice!

[@Dfossy]

i miss my eve days :( good vid Thums up :)

[@mattb5417]

Hi everyone my name is Matt, and I am a Eve addict.... {group say Hi Matt} I have been "Eve clean" for 2 and a half years now. But today, because of Lord Maldoror the temptation of dusting up my Archon, guardian, widow etc... is becoming hard to resist. I feel weak. I need to resist. I need to be strong and resist Eve

[@SamSkjord]

Be strong, I was clean for nearly 4 years, I watched one RnK video, I thought I could handle it. I resubbed both my accounts :(

[@mattb5417]

Sam Traeger ;_; I filled their application form and I am resisting sending it. Dear god and all that is holy please help me resist temptation.

[@dshizznitrb3]

+Sam Traeger lmao

[@Tearnofear]

after watching R&K Vids i'm always proud to be a logisticspilot =)

[@Mazra42]

It's funny how similar this strategy is to the strategy in most MMORPG PvP, really. Always focus the "healer."

[@illegal_waffles]

What about jamgus :(
