Credits to the guys who made the vids:cool:

You didnt youtube link them properly. You have to use the Embedding instead of the youtube links.

As for the videos:

I suppose everyone has different definitions of "motivating" but these videos arent very motivating for me. They're more "FAQs" or information videos to me. For me, motivation videos showcase almost every aspect of the class and all the skills a class have.

The Darius videos annoyed me with the sound effects (though it'd be motivational to hope to kill the monsters seen in the vid I guess) and most of the rest were zakum/horntail videos, which showcases a group doing something, not an individual. In groups, you have all classes and its motivation to be in a certain group, not to be a certain class or even a certain level (You could be 18x and not get into a HT group yet a 15x who has friends there can get in).

If you find them motivational, that's great and if others find them motivational, that's good for them too. However, I just see these as one of a few hundred thousand maple videos out there that are "showcasing" something they've done (and probably something that's been done by many others too) and just arent very motivational to me... There's no emotional content and whatnot. Then again, I suppose it just might be me but I personally need some artistic content and storyline, something to give it meaning to you to make it motivational but that's just me =X

Edit: I will say this though: The arms battle is an interesting concept that I think other servers could and maybe should consider, lols (add a twist to zak duos xD).

I know all of these movies, and I like all of them :f2: Although Darius' movies somewhat annoy me with the sounds >_>

Also the one before the last movie contains a malicious ID or something o_O

[DrRusty]

wow oO
the strongest shadower in the world made a video AND I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT? WTF!!

w0rmified is crazy

[»-Chris->]

Oh, never saw those paladin videos before, thanks! =]

[Nielz]

Retalion i still dont understand how to ling the vid's with that youtube thingy
And i don't see how you see them as FAQ's xD well i never listend too the sound of any video beside the one from Mondays Cause my friend said to put the sound on there
btw this is not flaming ;-)
And i love the skills of the shadower who avoid all monster's attacks and the speed up in the Movies from Darius make it less boring

What I mean by "FAQ" is that its more of a video showing "information" on a given class/subject of the game. There is little to no artistic content, storyline and other elements that make an "all around complete" video.

Edit: One screenshot*:

Image didnt size up really well but you get the point: Copy and paste the EMBEDDED part on the side, then put it inside the [.youtube][./youtube] (without the dots of course) brackets.

Just to get it out of the way: Yeah, we know, this Hermit is attack speed hacking. It motivated me to make a Hermit because it illustrates well the speed of the class - even if it's hacked.

Plus, this fool is old school as hell. Grims with no Hyper Body and a Warrior Pill? Hell yes. There are only 3 older school places and those are Vict/El Nath/Orbis and we all know no good videos came from Orbis!

Not that it's a superbly well made video, but it gave me some motivation way back ;D

pretty fun.

Oh man, you guys got totally cockblocked with the weapon immunity. Pretty good video, though.

I'm half and half on not skipping the weapon immunity in the video - on one hand, it illustrates exactly how long the run took, on the other, it's really boring to sit there and watch while nothing happens. At least you had some decent music going, I guess. I wasn't expecting Spanish, of all things, so that was a pretty neat surprise.

I don't think it motivated me much - you can't even see a particular player's damage and not much else was showcased as far as Night Lords go. But that's not to say somebody else wouldn't find it motivational - some people are motivated by Zakum (I know I was when I first heard about it).

Anyway, that's something of a critique. Overall, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. Mileage may vary.
