Sinister's video was from the perspective of the losing side, and did point out some good issues. We were fighting PFB in this siege and SIN only had a handful of people there, and obviously one of them made a movie they wanted to publish.

LotD won this siege, and we took the extra time to develop our own video. As you can tell we aren't having the same "technical issues" that others conveniently claimed.

You can find the videos here:

Low Res Download-Stream

We don't disagree that there are siege issues such as engines not working, walls bugged, etc.

But you can clearly see we were able to move around fairly decently with a lot of players on the screen. Yes they need to improve performance, and yes they need to fix the bugs. But sieges aren't all .05 FPS affairs as some like to claim when they lose.

I can't get over how much that looks like a DAoC video of a keep take with better graphics. 

I appreciate you posting this (and any future) video.  It gives me a feel for the pvp aspects of this game.

I agree they have to fix the issues with walls, siege engines not working, etc. But what's going around the net is the horrible performance issues, and you can see from our videos we didn't have lag issues.

I'm glad you guys managed to get a world first at something, seeing how it obviously means so much to you. (Couldn't just be an 'AoC Siege Video' could it?)

The only reason I named it world first was because this is the same battle that Sinister plastered all over the internet to say AOC sieges were .05 FPS affairs even on a so called super computer. The difference here is that this is the same battle but recorded on the LotD side. Yes it shows some slowdown in performance, but AOC sieges are not the debacle they made it out to be.
