[Jester's Trek] "Picture" of the Week: Drebuchet
"Picture" of the Week: Drebuchet
God knows that I'm critical of Lord Maldoror's Rooks and Kings videos around here from time to time. As I've said before, while I thought Clarion Calls 1 and 2 were masterpieces, I find his more recent stuff incredibly pretentious, and hugely lacking in both actual EVE game-play and specific suggestions on how to apply the tactics that he talks about. That last was one of the things that made CC1 and CC2 truly great: not only was the game-play video fantastic, but the vids showed how the tactics worked, step-by-step, and more or less dared you to put the ideas therein into practice.
So I guess it's only fair to point out when they get one right. The latest tactics Rooks and Kings video, jokingly called "The Drebuchet" is brilliant, the most fun and clever thing put out by Rooks and Kings in years. It's particularly funny for me because I was prepared to hate it after the first 25 or 30 seconds. Go give it a watch:
So yeah, OK, that was funny and fairly brilliant. Well done!
The real question, though: can anyone actually implement the tactic demonstrated in this video? In particular, can someone use it to save a titan or other super tackled on a POS? Guess we'll see.
