Notes on Clarion Call 3: rookskings.blog...
'We're not going to jump back until they're dead"
'Get into optimal, get over here, and kill them'
'We're not leaving now'
I love this guy, legend, what a leader, you could follow him into hell and be convinced you would kick Satan's ass.
yeah
One of the single greatest unfunded amateur films ever released. The composition, commentary, background music - impeccable.
I swear, this video - and the upcoming Crucible release has made me misty eyed, as if I'm getting reunited with a long lost loved one. Brilliant work guys.
love the mythic quality of this work, and you are a class act.
Great Scot, its Scott!
Fly safe!
It still blows my mind how great these videos were. These and you Scott got me into EVE! Some of the best gaming times of my life so far
its 2024 you guys are missed. Eve needs legends like you again.
This is still one of the best things EVE related ever made, even in 2020
even in 2022
@@Randiom True
2023
@@gauloiseguy Still true
Amazing
I still find my way back here often and regularly. The story telling, the build up, the climax, the timing, the music, this is just better then so many movies out there
100%
"Fly AWAY from the wormhole! Fly AWAY from the wormhole. Get into optimal. Get in here. AND KILL THEM!"
I still get goosebumps from that. Anyone who has played fleet cat-and-mouse in Eve Online knows how tough that decision is.
As an fc you always gotta keep everyone's fear in check. The fear of losing ships is strong, but you need to be stronger.
I still have to come back and watch these from time to time. love them.
Just watched it again :D
And again XD
@@malango255 maybe it's time to watch it again?
@@user-hy6hi7fg5m shit you're right. i literally just resubbed after a huge break too.
watched again :D
This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. A work of combat proficiency rivaling that of real-world warfare in terms of logistics, planning, and execution.
And that carrier pilot deserves a goddamned trophy. And a medal of his own for the "Does anyone have repair paste?" at the end. Just the perfect expression of "Job's done, no big deal."
yeah shame the real eve game is nothing like this video or it would be much more fun to play this videos a joke eve online is not this amazing to play it's so boring to play in comparison
@@raven4k998 'The real EVE game'? This is literally the game.
@@julianmann8738 yeah boring as fuck flying in circles shit boring
@@raven4k998 Times change, given that this was made during what i'd argue was the Golden Age of Eve and even gaming in general 10 years ago.
Still, in a sandbox game you create your own content, go take some risks.
@@sidemountsarge there was a golden age of eve that explains why it's so shitty now thanks I'll continue play space engineer's know that eve is dead now and the golden age has gone away never to return again
That fight gives me goosebumps to this day. 6 years later and every time I watch it... just... awesome. Hope you're all doing well, wherever you are.
9 years later it still does ...
11 years later it still does
29:20 that “we won” still gives me chills
LM is a cold G
10 years ago on this day, this video made its first appearance. Crazy how things change in 10 years and how fast it can fly by. I miss these days so much, the long nights after my 2nd shift job mining and building for our nullsec corp, or running missions with the guys. Nerve-racking trips to Jita for minerals or to sell. I still remember being there when T3, wormholes, and planet mining were brand new and just dropped.
All the good times - It was one of those 'you had to be there' kinds of things, and I'm glad to have been there to, as Walker said, "See something, and see it for real."
22:15 - WE ARE NOT JUMPING BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DEAD
I like it when m'lord gets a bit cross lol
Lord Maldoror has the most amazing command skills
Yes... to bad they joined a blob coalition on chinese server. They became the evil they fought ^^
@@Mic_Glow Think of it as fresh meat - Chinese take away even.
And he tells a dang good story.
Eve is truly greatest living work of science fiction. After deciding to fly logi, I followed bread crumbs and found treasure left by people who decoded game so long ago. Once i asked in a corp chat (all tough null sec cats, unlike me the null newb) about you. Silence, and then a lone voice said:"Rooks and Kings are my spirit animal". Thank you for everything, and best of luck.
A beautiful example of teamwork and tactics if ever I saw one.
I suspect those who have yet to play EVE would never understand the sheer adrenaline-pumping rush you get in these fights, so rather amazing that their voices were never raised in panic or curses.
It's Rooks and Kings. This is pretty much what they do. I'm still amazed by the amounts of shenanigans they can pull off.
Every group will have frantic comms at times, but I love the RnK videos because they rework the audio to only include the necessary info. They also make the backstory and commentary during the fights work perfectly. I welcome the return of Guillotine Therapy. Let the fights ensue.
+No1KnowsY too bad they are dead now.
beating2 I know right, they had a small revival with WH gank fleets but nothing since, makes me a sad panda.
Yah I been waiting for new videos till I realised that. Sad but I hope they recover it's EVE!
Still the best video of Eve I have ever seen. Clear, concise and inspiring.
Still watching in 2020, these are memories you've made. Excellent work, from a guy whose life you've made an impact on :)
22:16.... Ice cold FC gives the most amazing order I have ever heard! Damn......
The feeling of flying with competent wingmen, and a FC with balls the size of moons
2023 and I miss these videos
I miss this era of eve.
Freaking Winston Churchill'd that fight.
"Ok, we should be ready to get out"
"NO! We will not retreat! We will not back down! We will fight!"
"Ok we need to stop now"
"NO! We can still fight! Never surrender!"
Gah, so freaking awesome. Who needs 2000 man fights when this is so much more epic.
I was there :) it was my best experience in Eve, Guillotine Therapy and Rooks & Kings Forever.
Full spotted
Of my nine years on Eve, the few months I spent at Guillotine Therapy were, without doubt, the best and most epic.
How I wish I could relive those moments with you DarKaNgeN, FullGaz and all Rooks and Kings.
Vacuum collision. Orbits diverge. Farewell, love...
I'm not sure who says it, perhaps the narrator (who's name I can't remember) but at 22:20 it's voice of a FC:
"No. we're not going to jump back until they're dead. All of you around the wormhole, get to optimal and kill them!"
I LOVE that line.
Yes, It is the narrator Lord Maldoror! Great Fc!
"I have not even BEGUN to fight!"
My favorite line from him is from clarion call 4 where he says:
"It is always more effective to show someone the fire before setting them alight"
That's some poetry right there....
I'm watching this 11 years later, the level of leadership here is breathtaking. I know its a game, but you can tell how much their ships matter to them when they were sensing they would be destroyed and panic began to set in, but it did not affect him at all, nerves of steel, and it calmed and focused the minds of his troops in the heat of battle. I wonder if he actually knew Agent would overheat his repper to destruction ahead of him reporting it, I'm sure he did. Sometimes being a leader requires you to be one step ahead of your own troops, let alone the enemy. I would have loved to be in this man's company of soldiers.
For me this is still the best eve video ever made..watched countless time by myself!!
RnK should attempt to sell the rights for this story. Seriously, it's 100% marketable and very appealing to the spectator.
Came back for memories, and hearing Narwhals rushed back so many great times.
Still flying under local009 if any of the old bunch want to reach out.
Only the best FC in EVE history... (in my humble opinion)...
+nanogeekpro2 yeah hes great!
An excellent FC, with extremely competent people behind them, is the most powerful force in EVE
Epic, now look were not leaving fly away from the WH get over here get into optimal and kill them -the master has spoken
Even 2.5 years since stopped this game - this movie is golden and i rewatch it from time to time :)
Wish i had a corp like yours back in my free days :)
still watching :)
still
The word "Epic" doesn't make this justice.
I don't play Eve, although it's always seemed appealing, but the videos produced by you guys are some of the most amazingly well executed and entertaining videos I have seen for any game. Fantastic, riveting work!
I know I've commented on this video in the past, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that this along with SK Believe are the best videos about a video game. And this being EVE Online, gives RnK a slight edge.
Roses Of Time When you do make sure you link to the appropriate comment on the appropriate video. If you need directions as to how to find those I can sketch a creationist friendly map for you.
Roses Of Time Report me!!!
I guess you will have to find out and please let me know how wrong you are.
I just went to watch sk believe, and its nothing compared to this... its nothing compared to anything actually
lostnamenowwhoami Makes sense, because SK Believe would probably only interest you if you were an SK fan :) Probably multiple CS videos/movies out there that are alot better.
I still love this video, 12 years later. "It doesn't matter, we've won"
One of the best Eve Videos i have watched had me on the edge of my seat.
Just watched again after a few years , still playing on my 2005 character and remember these guys well back in the day . Some of the greatest Eve videos ever produced are in the R and K series , masterclasses of tactics and execution .
Absolute pleasure to watch !
Just watched this for about the 5th time, LM's voice is the greatest for these videos. Hats off chaps, see you in space!
Excellent storytelling. This is what allows the video transcend the level from 'good' to 'awesome'.
Instead of playing EVE, I'm watching this... +1
i rarely sub to channels but by god .. these are very well done... found myself well into your vids with goose bumps and screaming shit when he burnt his repper out.
"AHARM were wrong about many things, but they were right about their moto: "All paths lead to K162"" I love that. It says all paths lead to the most common wormhole space entrance. But what it takes the meaning of is "All paths lead to adventure, all paths lead to unknown, and all paths lead to home". I don't know much else in EVE online that would count as poetry...
+Galileo Gaming k162 isn't the most common entrance, it is literally the wormhole code for "this is an *exit* wormhole, no details available until your sorry ass jumps through."
(so literally, all wormholes lead to a k162 exit) >_>
+George Huestis I've seen some other codes though. That's odd. K162 was always a middle-class though so I assumed it had something to do with that. Maybe I'm thinking of what the WH identifies as when going to other way?
Yeah, it you're on the "entrance" side you get a type-specific id. It's weird but each wormhole has an origin point and a destination, so each side has a different classification. One of these is always k162. I think they did it so all wormholes in high sec would provide no clues as to what you might be getting into by jumping through.
George Huestis
Makes sense. it also leaves the question of two linked WH systems. If one is a C1 and one is a C5, whats the class of WH connecting them, and what is it's appearance? WH's be nature are confusing, so I suppose its reasonable that they are the same in-game.
+Galileo Gaming aharm are going to return
*hint
Damn... and I thought our wormhole alliance had problems with another small alliance setting up a POS in our C2...
This is on a whole different level of gameplay. A year? Are you kidding me? Hats off.
"Does anyone have repair paste?" lol
The music through out this video is spot on... especially when I hear Serenata Immortale start playing at 29:00... years later, still my favourite EVE Online video of all time. I can't help but come back from time to time to get the feels all over again!
I have no idea what the fuck is happening but it looks so cool, might finally give Eve a try after 10 years of being scared away by its complexity
don't be scared! The game is infinitely complex but if you try to focus on 2-3 aspects, it's manageable. Any more that that and you'll be overwhelmed and burn out quickly like many of my friends.
CatroiOz Just buy a plex and sell it in-game for about 630 000 000 isk and then join Brave Newbies. Go to Barleguet (their HQ system) and buy and fit a dozen cheap frigates that have microwarpdrive and warp scrambler (1M for the entire ship + modules, plus a little ammo). Then you just join random brave fleets as fast-tackle and roam around tackling enemy ships. That's the newbie job that you should start in if you want the most immediate learning-curve. Brave Newbies is a very laidback newbie-friendly alliance.
lazygamerz why would he join bad newbies
judgman Because there's always something to do there.
judgman My ship is cheaper than the one I fight. I make them by the hundreds. Then we go around killing expensive things and come out on the plus side.
2022, I don't even play Eve, but I do like this. A few well organized against the many. Beautiful. I've watched it every once in a while since it came out. I wish they made more videos.
i wish ccp had allowed u to deploy the infinite gun before fixing it, it would have been cool to see u whoop them with their own weapon
Exactly what I was thinking watching this video :-)
Whenever I get burnt out on EVE a little, I watch some Rooks & Kings. Faith restored.
"We've won" best line and a most unbelievable victory, amazing job!
2019. Still the best Eve video made. I miss RnK. Want to see more of their content.
This is more compelling than a lot of modern sci-fi movies, though I wish I knew which side was which in the big fight at the end.
Thanks!
It's 2021 and I still watch this video
Way to keep your calm in that fight! Fantastic video!!
R and K , usually fight outnumbered Maltador, ice precise and concise every time unlike a lot of present FC,s ranting, shouting and overly repeating targets. not taking anything away from the regulars he had around him lethal together love the doctrine of the few against the many -they get more we get tougher.
I absolutely LOVE these videos. All three Clarion Calls had me glued to the screen with chills. Your commentary and narration is perfect! i love it.
22:15 : political commissar moment right there
23:08 : gut check moment for solo-bhaalgorn Seliah
what I really like is that these guys are frikkin ice cold under preassure. you don't see that often in eve, eh?
30:59 : "does anybody have repair paste?" lol finisher
+Wiryan Tirtarahardja Pretty sure his voice ranks right up there with Morgan Freeman's. I could put this video, or any video this guy narrates, and fall asleep to it #mancrush haha
yeah i know.
maybe because i came here from that Asakai video. Horrid comms. spam feed cap 999x
+Gosti.C I feel you man I'm part of the dark space initiative a c5 wh Corp and the fight are so different from empire fights.. More specialized rolls to get as much as you can from the small number of ships you can bring.
*****
and lowsec is just gate slug-fests and dashing in between timers.
+Wiryan Tirtarahardja basically. lol. thats the life im living right now. its pretty satisfying lol
Watching this in 2021. Thanks for the memories guys
7 years later... it's still epic!
So, I'm unsure how I ended up here, and I have never played EVE and I only barely know what it's about, but I still found this intriguing enough to watch the whole thing, I guess it was because of the way it was presented, quite well that is.
please give us clarion call 5 :( i love these videos i miss this game so much
+Little Frodo's Channel Amen
Unfortunately, in Eve's current state, there is not much room for this sort of gameplay.
Better storytelling than most movies, insane. Come here often to rewatch, masterpiece.
*NERDBONER* *DEPLOYED*
I don't think I've ever seen a movie this epic. Narration and music were fantastic. The scope of what happened made it very tense. The stakes were high and depth of knowledge about the game, and the assessment of situation by FC + the fantastic players in the fleet such as the Bhaalgorn & Carrier... Legendary!
Where the fuck did 35 mins just go?! Haha genuinely didnt realise id been watching rhat do long. Most the vids of EvE dont donit justice but inhave to say this was fantastic well done! And as always fly safe! o7
I usually just listen to these videos in the background while I play other things.. at 22:16 when LM did his thing I literally stopped everything I was doing and just watched. Awesome leadership.
Wow I got kinda absorbed there dude should have this as a tv show Christ
still such an absolute absolute classic to this very day. what we do now echoes into eternity
any link to AHARM comms on the last fight?
Hayaishi [AHARM] here, comms were very sparse. We were on our offpeak when RnK entered, and we hastily threw together a response. That's why I was in just a Zealot. They show this engagement as a crowning achievement, when really, each member were making 2-3 bil ISK a day, so any losses, even capitals, were replaced easily. It was never an ISK war to us.
Your voice is so calm-it's surreal towards the end.
I know the video is old, but I had to comment. Literally one of the best game-vids I've ever seen, and I don't even play this game. You guys make me want to play, but I know I'd never be able to handle the point-click-spreadsheet management. This video was epic, because it's all player driven content, over the course of a year!! What other game can say that? I've watched this video like 20 times since I found it, and I'm still nervous for Agent, because I know EvE's consequences for death. Most other people would be like "ho-hum, re-spawning 30 sec", but not here. Shit is real and your investment is on the line. Truly Epic! Please make more vids, though I know it's hard since you have to film over the course of months. Long Live RnK!
Very well done, LM. And you kept it pretty accurate without chest beating. As an AHARM member who has been there for the whole thing, I actually am proud of featuring in this very well made movie.
Baker?
"Does anyone have repair paste?"
May as well have been asking for a change of underwear. XD
13 years later, the sheer balls of LM to command everyone away from their only escape and fly straight into the inferno, and the iron faith his team had in him that he would lead them to victory against the demons of hell, is still absolutely legendary. Nothing short of perfect execution could have prevailed against impossible odds like this, and they did it.
This is epic. 29:16, i got chills.
+Aleksey Konovalik me too man... "we've won" ! i got the chills everytime !!
+Aleksey Konovalik Been here since release of this and stop by now and then...chills & tears..what a fight and example of teamwork...
Got my cereal in the morning, watched this before work, and now I'm on100 percent morality. Like I've just watched one of my favourite films.
Isn't that the truth! I watched this for the third time (at work) and absolutely love it. The production is absolutely fantastic!
Wow, just WOW! Marvelous video. EVE is an awesome game and you win at it :D
I am saving this into my "History" folder. A Noosphere battle, but I would consider it still a historic event.
Jesus, Enders game much.
From someone who has been on the receiving end of Aperture Harmonics before, I can't say how awesome it was to see them bested on their own turf. I'm just a small fish in Eve myself, but I hope one day to contribute to something as epic as this story :)
finally a very decent EVE video with really suitable music (most i find are with dumb techno whatever) +1 for Arcana
Rafal Stanczak Have you watched RnK's other videos yet? I personally think CC4 is their best creation ever.
both Clarion Call 3 and 4 are very well made
Even after years, I still come back to this.
I love after the little verbal spanking there's 100% complete silence for almost ten seconds. Like oh shit, he just laid down the law, better fly over there...
Why are they called "rooks and kings"?
***** but why only rooks and kings? why not kings, queens, bishops, knights, rooks, and pawns?
Because in chess there is a strategic play called "rook and king", look it up on youtube, you'll see what im talking about :)
Possibly because Rooks and Kings are the only 2 pieces on a chess board that can move in the same turn.
The most brilliant Eve-video I've ever laid my eyes upon, not to mention the top class pvp and tactics and lest not forget the storytelling as the events unfolds... 10/10!
2019, they'ed drop 50 titans on you.............. what happened to eve.
Well, the day they let 50 titans drop in WHs really WILL spell the death of it all.
CCP and Pearl Abyss do seem to be trying hard, though.
That has got to be one of the most capturing eve movies i have ever seen, it made me hold my breath at some points. The battle in their wormhole was fantastic! Masterwork video, kudo's to you sir!
this is beautiful. the second Nova fight gave me the chills, outnumberd and outgunned and won with sheer will and determination
Best Eve video I've seen in years!!! Thank you for 37 minutes of incredible. I'm truly humbled by the piloting and FCing after 6 years of Eve playing.
Man this is truly the best and informative video ever on eve. In my Oppinion its awesome how you guys did that. Great job !
That was epic! Thanks a heap for putting this gem together!
Better than anything I've seen in theaters last couple of years! I'd pay for this for sure! And not only in ISK...
This is pure epic - more atmospheric, suspenseful and exciting than most movies. Great job!
All these years later this one still gives me chills.
Thanks Jackaryas!
In other news, I showed this video to a RL friend of mine who has been interested in Eve, but has not tried it. He's completely sold, so thanks again to all of RnK and especially to LM with his awesome narration (Princess' narration was also great on the old CC videos)!
I am thoroughly impressed at not only the FC's knowledge and application of it, but at the strategic prowess displayed here. This is top notch Eve and goes to show that at higher levels is truly a thinking man's game. I won't even get into the amazing production value of these videos. Epic is truly an applicable term here.
I can't stop watching this vid- this video is so good it deserves to be on the History Channel or something....it's a full blown documentary of high end wormhole alliance warfare. The production quality of the video is only exceeded by the epic magnitude of the battles being recounted, and the elite skills of the Rooks and Kings pilots on display here.
Truly awesome- this is the best fan submitted video for a video game ever.... and not just for EVE, but for any video game.
god I miss the old days of Apocrypha and the introductions of wormholes...haven't played in years but have had an active training account just in case I decide to come back. But it just doesnt seem to be what it used to be....the good 'ol days. I love these videos
Impressive how supperior their skills, fits and piloting abbilities are over enemies
This is the only EVE video series I absolutely love!
In particular this video gives me the chills every time I watch it!
Definitely recommend this to anyone that wants a good EVE video to watch.!!!
Amazing, watched entirely with no breaks. Props RnK.
Now one makes better EVE videos than RK. Story building, suspense, drama, final stands; great narrator. I challenge anyone to top this. THIS is EVE.
25:52 to about 30:59 remains my fave stretch in a Rooks and Kings video after all these years. The music just makes it... Perfection.
at this point, the main benefit of playing eve was to be able to appreciate this video
