Yes, just join in and we'll help you form there. It's a bit tough arranging things in advande in hawken, so we usually just decide things like servers on the fly.

[Dr_Freeze001]

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the Predator training by TwentyFirstPilot has now ended. Video should be up in a day or two.

Thank you to 21st for his extremely well prepared and well tough out lessons, I was very pleasantly surprised. Well done sir. Thank you to everybody who showed up.


Next week we will do map navigation and if necessary some more movement.

Cheers, cya'll next week.
~ Freeze

ALSO: Alvizzei, sorry for not helping you right then and there, but the event was already going on. I'll send you a pm and I'll get you set up for next time.

That was fun! I'm glad I could help.

Again, if anyone is interested in becoming a better Pred pilot, shoot me a friend request and we can party up when we're both online.

If anyone would like a copy of that guide I wrote/read off, wait a few days and I'll post it. It was rushed, and it needs to be polished.

To whoever recorded the session: Could you please post that recording here_ As I said earlier, I have a few friends who wanted to attend, but couldn't.

That .. kind of got out of hand. I intended to teach you what I wrote down here, but .. um .. things happened.

Like getting rekt by the Australians_

Well, I'll definitely check out the video once it comes out to see what I missed.

Come back without your crony, then we can talk.

Pshhh, that "crony" beat you up as much as you did with me. And let us not forget that he also had 250+ ping. That crony also taught me more than you did. Also, let us not forget that both of you were reking me so...yeah - except that one time that you challenged both of us at one time...ha.

Awesome, I'd get to watching that vid!

Edited by Dawn_of_Ash, October 26 2014 - 03:12 AM.

[Dawn_of_Ash]

I've only watched a few minutes of the video, and I can say something straight away;

It's a bit bland.

Now, I'm not saying that you should do massive edits/cuts, because I know that it takes a ton of effort on your part, and I think you've already done so much for the event as it is. What I would recommend is music to be played softly throughout the sessions - or in the first part of this video anyways where there is explainations and you are just spectating the fights - the sound is practually inaudible in the video leaving a sort of silence that was making me a bit bored...but, again, that could just be me. But, yeah, I guess putting music may take a bit because of copyright and all that stuff - maybe have a cycle of songs and maybe you could use the same soundtracks for each episode, so all you would really have to do is type the songs out once, then copy and paste it for each video_

Anyways, I'd get back to watching the vid.

[Dr_Freeze001]

Well, sadly I am a complete amateur at video editing and sound design, but I'll see what I can cook up. I mostly do graphical design and such. If there is anyone out there who would like to help out editing: please get in touch with me.

On another note we need teachers for the week after the next, Saturday 8 November. If you have any interest in teaching please PM me and we can get together. If you have no experience in teaching and don't think to have what it takes, don't worry. We can meet up in advance and we'll work on it together.

lastly next week, November 1st, will be general map knowledge and navigation presented by yours truly. it will involve points of interest, map navigation tricks, fastest way to get to places and maybe even some 'spatial' subject .

If you have any commentary on yesterday's training or training in general, feel free to post a reply. All is welcome.

Hi there, one last thing on the subject of timezones.
http://wwp.greenwich...ime.com/to/est/

So today the GMT summertime has ended, and the EST daylight savings time will end Sunday 2 November. This means that right now GMT is 5 hours ahead of EST, and from nov. 2nd it'll go back to a 4h difference... I think.

For this reason I'll be using countdown rather than set times for now, to avoid confusion. I have tested it and it's the same for GMT and EST, so it should work for any other timezone. Event starts when the countdown stops.
