Video - Tracking and Spiralling

(Updated Jan 7th 2012)

For those of you who are familiar with Agony's public PVP classes, you'll know our PVP-Basic class covers a shedload of theory. A lot of it many of the students already know, and at around 5 hours it takes up a huge chunk of time which could be spent more productively by actually PVPing.

For this reason, we're currently undergoing a project to convert the whole theory portion of that class into a series of high quality video lectures, which students can watch in their own time. These will be publicly available, meaning anyone can watch them - even people who have no interest on coming on our classes.

I recently finished working on the first of these, and I'd like to share it with you. Obviously PVP-Basic is just an instroductory class for players who are new to PVP, so I expect most of my readers here will already be familiar with everything in these videos. Perhaps you know someone who will benefit from them, who knows. What I would absolutely appreciate is any feedback you have on them, be it content, format, presentation, etc. The whole series will probably include somewhere between 8 and 10 videos of similar length to this one, so I'm fully execting they will improve as I go on.

Update: I've updated the video based on initial feedback as well as some of my own thoughts looking back on it. The biggest change is that I've now included a section on optimal and falloff, meaning all of the turret mechanics are in a single video (this did require cutting down the spiralling section slightly to keep the length reasonable, but most of the audio content is still there).
