Survey – Video Battle Reports

By Stronghammer, in X-Wing

Hey everybody,

I am looking into doing some video battle reports for youtube, so I was just wondering what you looked for / liked about certain video reports.

Cheers

Mic the players, have them announce which ships are attacking which.

Clearly mark which ships are which so that tracking damage is easy.

Clearly mark which ships are target locked to which ships. Maybe force players to use color coded locks.

Clear shots of the dice. Make sure they're shot from close up and not at an angle that displays glare.

Don't cast Turretwing games. Video battle reports seemed to get popular during the ruined wasteland wave 5 meta and it was all you'd see and you had to search to find a watchable game.

Marking everything can be expensive/difficult/too involved, and is sometimes compensated by good comments. Having two commentators is a good idea. I prefer it if they don't try to be too funny, they are not the Mystery Science guys even if they think they are. War stories from other games are also not very interesting most of the time.

What do you like and look for in video reports? What don't you like? What do you miss?

Cheers Dagonet,

I do have a list of things I intend to add, and I get what you are saying, though I'd like to try and incorporate as many features as I can that people enjoy , otherwise if I just put in things I like, whilst I get the extra experience out of it, if no one is watching it....

I asked because if you show that you have an idea of where you would like to go people are more likely to take you seriously. ;).

Were you thinking of doing some editing or straight to youtube with raw stuff?

It can sometimes be hard, in what I've seen now, to see the crits or some upgrades clearly.

What Team Covenant is doing, with clearly labeling which ship is which, is a smart move.

Thanks Dagonet, yes I was looking at editing, whilst it does talk longer, I think it is definitely worth it.

I definitely agree with you on the crits and labelling the ships, especially when there are several of the same, trying to keep track of which is which and which has which damage.

Thanks for the feedback
