But there is a reason why people didn't like the Original Post.

The whole thread would have died in obscurity if The Pilot took the feedback and hadn't resorted to insults, which just generated more negative response etc.

This particular thread might have attracted a couple viewers, but was it really worth it?

Sure does look like it.

I did watch it through, didn't even particularly disagree with the salvaging bit (it is done quite well in NMS) but bringing EVE-like spreadsheeting (which I imagine it would be, even moreso than BGS is currently) IMO wouldn't actually improve the game.

The principal negative (being very blunt) over the video was that it was fragmented in comparison to the normal slick presentation known over the 'ships' series. I had lost interest in the first couple of minutes but watched it through regardless.

If this is the way forward for your presentations, The Pilot, with no disrespect intended, the reception will not receive the enthusiasm from me as in the past. It is your channel and you know what you want from it, that is your right, so no actual criticism.

That's fine!

THAT is a valid criticism.

You don't like the new format.

That's okay!

If anybody had bothered to ask, I was experimenting with a twitch clip format that many channels use, and it seems as if a lot of people enjoy.

And for the record, it works. Both the Twitch channel and the YT channel have grown over the last week since I started it.

Would I absolutely love to keep doing the cinematic series like the ship reviews? Of course! (And I probably still will sneak a few in there)

But, like it or not, I do have to grow or die. That's just how it is.

That is exactly why I made the point that my view wasn't a criticism...
Only you know which format will 'work' for you, but if you sneak in the odd ship review, or similar, you can bet I'll be there and (y)it ;)
 
Odyessy Aside....The small things i'd like to see......

DBX Mark II, better canopy
Ship Mating - Let me strap a Viper to the top of an Anaconda etc
Station Life - People on the landing pads, In the Towers, turn some lights on and off, Fifa crowds do a job but they bring life to the game beyond sound
The Anaconda has battle damage but not of the rest not in the same way, real world effects of combat
More Varied SRVs
Fleet Carrier Bridge even if its only a splash screen to start
Ship rooms - if we cant walk around or ships lets us in a chair in our rooms
Varied cockpit control layouts
Better Stealth/Smuggler options
Reactive cargo - Land too hard with landmine and the ship blows, carring explosives you better drive careful, explosive decompression loose passengers
Character reaction - Spend to long in a system under blight you get sick and the ships harder to fly, too much time under a bright star headaches impeading view, effects of high gravity
Cross Play
Thargoid development.... what are they, what do they look like
More Aliens
A Station dedication to Mira Furlan
AI Inteligence - Sidewinder rocks up and tells me... In my corvette that i am abou to die!!!!!


Voice Lines - Wouldn't you like to part of the game, downloadable script we could read back and send in for station management, some of us sound better the others (i dont) but some of us might get in let FDEV pick and choose.
 
Sorry? You asked if I had watched it in post 78:



I then responded that I had. I did not like the video, and made observations as to why others might dislike it too.

Ah so you're pretending to misunderstand me to avoid answering the question, which you still haven't answered.

What has disliking the format of video got to do with commenting on a video you have not watched?
 
It's trendy to jump on the hate bandwagon about something and I think this is what's going on in this thread. It's weird that so many people who admittedly haven't watched the video at all are hating on it yet aren't offering any counter argument on its contents based on others comments. I see random people post videos all the time and you never see this kind of vitriol so I think people are just jumping on a bandwagon. Plus there's a percived ego boost too when you can put down someone who is percived to be a kind of "celebrity"
 
Guys, you will now jump at each other's throats because of Pilot's YT movie in format that you don't like? :)

Its quite simple- if you have a suggestion post it in suggestions. As fun as it is, just condense down ideas so people can read them, and refer back to points to debate them. Its really hard to contextualize ideas if you have to keep making notes yourself and know exactly at what points certain things were said.

Bruh. How many times have we seen someone post an Obsidian Ant video with little to no text other than to say "yeah cool video"? It happens all the time. You never see people jump in the comments and start trashing the guy because he didn't condense his video into a text format.
 
It's not that easy. I think it's mainly about the trendy inflation of low quality, wannabe "content creators". If they would present their "content" in text form, I'm pretty sure it would take me a few seconds to recognize an incompetent, unstructured approach. Unfortunately, with videos you can't see that from outside and you often have to waste 10 minutes or more for nothing.
I see your point and I agree with that. But there is a line between constructive criticism and totally discrediting someone's effort and work (Pilot's effort to be precise). And if I don't want to waste my time, then I'm not forced to watch it.

I can't remember any OA videos that I've watched that talked about ideas like this one, hence why its better just to post the idea in text format so its easier to talk about. That, and post it in the suggestions, where suggestions go- otherwise people will assume some ulterior motive to get clicks.
