You guys rock. I never played Eve for more than a month, but know a few things about the game AND I love basically everything you guys produce! Keep up the work!
I'd been using the catch bubbles offgrid to JBs for years and i never once thought to use bombers. certainly is the end of an era, but as everything with eve, people will find a way, with new grid mechanics, comes new opportunities. Thank you again R&K.
+WINGSPAN TT wth? They never made 4 hours long videos. You can say that RnK videos are lots of things, but not ones where you wonder if it's the end already.
+Jason Ender which you rightly can... most of the *old* RnK shenanigans should still be able on Serenity since they aren't on the same patch iteration as TQ, afaik.
Well presented and narrated! I for one(and I won't be alone for sure..) have been waiting out on the happenings and activities of RnK for sometime. Looking forward to many more :) Cheers Gents (& lady)
+Anime Summit "exploitative"? Seriously? Do you have any idea how long the grids have been like this? This tactic has been viable ever since bombs can into EVE. Well that's not exactly true. Back when Titans still PBAOEed off a cyno you could stop a fleet, have a cyno frig cross the grid and BLAM! Bye Bye fleet........... This is NOT new! Its only "New" to you............
I don't play Eve, but I love watching RnK videos because I feel they give a bit of insight into the complexity of its universe and gameplay. Maybe one day.
I miss you guys so much. I'd nut to join you (been on eve since RMR). I've seen everything from the nano domi to the first titan kill but no one entertains like you.
That Grid-Fu manual is now a strange and slightly mind-boggling artifact from a very different time. People joke about spaghetti code but old online games had some jank to them that you just can't replicate the experience of anymore. Some parts still show through, like EVE's 1hz server tick rate letting you pre-cancel a mod faster than failing to cycle on a lost target. If you catch actions on the window between when your client knows something and when the server acknowledges, you can skip a step waiting for the reply to the client. In the end you skip the red flash and go straight to ready for next target
With the release of this video, the ending of this video, and the timeline of videos on your website I am guessing (hoping really), that you guys are going to be releasing a larger military campaignish video sometime soon? After all its been quite a while since the last one, I would guess that you guys would have a lot of recorded content to post by now. Looking at your website you currently don't have anything listed for this 2015 year. I am looking forward to you guys remedying that. Cheers, o7.
In the end, I'm kinda glad this tactic was removed. It's a very cheap and overpowered tactic that allows you to destroy entire fleets without suffering casualties.
It's been two months since the last time we saw a glimpse of what future video can show. please dont keep us waiting ! Release a trailer/sneak peak/20seconds/teaser anthing please!
So wait, for someone who likes following events in EVE but does not play, I was wondering if I could get some clarifications: This style of bombing is or is not similar to the one RnK showed in Clarion Call 4? Can CC4 style pipebombings still be done? Also what's that awesome song that plays for most of the video, from the start?
+BladePHF No it doesn't effect the "cc4-bombing". Pipebombs are about cloak, about cynos and about Timing. And this one is about fuck up gamedesign. But you have to realize first^^ Remember CC3 and the "infinite gun"? I experienced that way before it was known but i didn't realize back then. Like many others here playing with bubbles and Bombers. Guess that is why everyone loves RnK, they know the game so damn well :)
So... what's the change? You guys keep mentioning that it's changing, but don't mention how it's changing. Mind clarifying that up for me? I play EVE, but rarely now. I just have 200 days worth of training going on XD
Just start MWD and see how far it has expanded. As Im still curious how one person can't be off grid being the grid size is in relation to you. Not someone else before they move to the next grid. This is how Goon expanded the grid for themselves and the other fleet couldn't see them. As I think this hack is still a no, no from CCP if caught and hasn't changed.
+Claude “Reviews4U” Rains It was fine and has always been fine. You clearly have read nothing on the subject else you would understand that the grid is not in relation to you but rather your starting point in space.
You think you can handle rooks and kings? well think again. you cant. esspecialy when they aiming for you. Thats how you force people respect you my friends. respect lesson 101.

Thank you again R&K.
that's rnk for you. I also used certain mechanics they showed my self. but I never got the ideas to use to that extend as they did. (the drebuchet)
+Danny Delusion A famous dinosaur lawyer once said...
+JStank -dreddit is recruiting- life...finds a way
A Rooks and Kings video under 4 hours long? What universe is this?!
+WINGSPAN TT i think i'd be quite happy watching a 4 hour long RnK vid.
+WINGSPAN TT Not one I want to be a part of.
+WINGSPAN TT oh man a 4hr RNK video. in my wildest dreams.
+WINGSPAN TT Video length is proportionate with the amount of content in game.
+WINGSPAN TT wth? They never made 4 hours long videos. You can say that RnK videos are lots of things, but not ones where you wonder if it's the end already.
that ending was basically the after credit scene of a marvel movie.
+riedstep I thought it was implying that you could do it on the china server

Amazing. Never knew this kind of tactic, hats off to you guys!
RnK are the only thing about Eve I still find interesting, that tactic is devilishly cunning. nice choice of music too, I love me a bit of Wardruna :)
+karL ish It's borderline exploitative.
your not wrong mate.
+karL ish Wardruna is always a big big + :)
+Anime Summit "exploitative"? Seriously? Do you have any idea how long the grids have been like this? This tactic has been viable ever since bombs can into EVE. Well that's not exactly true.

Venom2U wtf are yo talking about? This isnt even new to me. Also, why would something hsve to be new to be exploitative?
This was cool. I love the R&K video format. That calm voice as epic destruction rages on the screen.. legendary :D
I knew about bombing between grids, but didn't know of warp disruption across grids. Great video!
Just thinking of the times we could have used this in our fleets makes me cry inside (Bombers Bar here). /respect RnK for the innovative spirit.
..once again, an excellent piece of work. Thx RnK !
R.I.P Rooksandkings
If you would make a video where you talk about pain drying for 3 hours I would still watch it and be interested.
Welcome back fellas! Stopped quite a while to actually play but not to watch :)
great video's! i really like that you are talking so calmly, puts another side to it keep it up!
Excellent video and can't wait to see more content from you guys.
i learn so many things from this channel
The Winter has come,
And with it brought forth the resurrection of light
Where darkness has nowhere to hide
For Rooks and Kings have returned!
o7
Amen. o7
I don't play Eve, but I love watching RnK videos because I feel they give a bit of insight into the complexity of its universe and gameplay. Maybe one day.
+WinterRED You should pick up if you enjoy complexity.
I miss you guys so much. I'd nut to join you (been on eve since RMR). I've seen everything from the nano domi to the first titan kill but no one entertains like you.
Thanks for the memories, smooth sailing mates.
Very nice video, like always.
Thank you.
I wish you guys made more videos. Each one is amazing

That was fucking amazing. 10/10 video as always, Goldsnake and RnK.
i get downright giddy when i see rooks and kings in my sub box.
all my
Glad to see you back.
loving ur stories man!
As is said of spoons, there is no bubble. Its only John, sitting very still in a heavy dictior.... just off grid.
sponsored by legacy code :P
wb people. Missed your content. A lot. Looking forward to some more out of the box thinking from RnK. Fly dangerous o7.
Thanks for the video! Never heard of this, tho having an "I was there" experience in the famous "bomb&blink" footage (as a victim of course).
Ho Lord, Ho Lord.... nostalgie... Would love to be on fleet, on coms with you guys again.....
lool i was never aware of this. that's really nice :D good video again! cant wait to see more

+Chad Wilson you clearly don't know RnK ;)
Welcome to Serenity server, please share your videos :D
please upload vids more often! even serenity's server idc. i just want to see u guys at work, that was awesome!
In the end, I'm kinda glad this tactic was removed. It's a very cheap and overpowered tactic that allows you to destroy entire fleets without suffering casualties.
It's been two months since the last time we saw a glimpse of what future video can show. please dont keep us waiting !
Release a trailer/sneak peak/20seconds/teaser anthing please!
Where the hell have you guys been!!!
+midnightsteel Dead corp.
so you are saying they are back?
+midnightsteel In China
W.O.W.!.!.! that's incredible! I had no idea bout grid-foo! :-) GOLD!
Wow, how could I missed that one? Shame on me. Just another piece of art Tbh.
They're back!
This guy is the only reason i started eve Lol
R&K was becoming big when I quit 2 years ago, sort of disappointing to see that they're still around!
need more R&Ks vids in my life. plz!!
CYNO'S UP ! \o/
R.I.P Rooksandkings!!! you will be missed.
lol you guys can be scary as hell but in a good way.
Nice music choice, what's it called?
Your alive!!!!
So wait, for someone who likes following events in EVE but does not play, I was wondering if I could get some clarifications:

Guess that is why everyone loves RnK, they know the game so damn well :)
Thank you!!!
Possible Clarion Call 5?
what language were they speaking at the end there?
So... what's the change? You guys keep mentioning that it's changing, but don't mention how it's changing. Mind clarifying that up for me? I play EVE, but rarely now. I just have 200 days worth of training going on XD
+Unsolved Paradox Grid size was increased from around 1-200, to ~8000km radius. You can actually see starbase towers from some jumpgates now.
+Unsolved Paradox The Grid size went up multiple 10k km, but bubbles only catch within 1k km
TheClol7 Soldier Forrester Oh ok. Thank you guys for clearing that up for me :)
I love R&K videos
and I'm just sitting here waiting for another full release... hoping
also... Cyno up!
I think I need to go take a shower because this is just fuckin dirty
Mad respect RnK
Haven't heard the word gridfoo in a long time!! lol
You guy's are making a come back?
+John Clark Maybe they've been busy. hehe
I want more long videos :(
RnKs, wonder what's next for these guys..... are they for hire?? I have a few ideas when I get back to total online status again......
Gridfoo is possibly the coolest term ever devised in Eve Online :P (meme of Neo emerging from matrix saying "I know gridfoo") XD
+lazygamerz Gridfu....
Anime Summit whatever :P
+lazygamerz Gridfuckery spelled out
Please come back
RnK is back?
I was really hoping to hear some butthurt comms... I am disappoint RnK.
ppl have learned, that butthurt comms, regarding a recent rnk operation tend to find its way into their videos.
Loved it, as usual o7
Video starts at 05:02
值得一试，我试着回去推广下lol
new RnK yay!!
Damn, as much as I have been bombing and knowing about the grid fu i never put two and two together for it
more videos rnk!

mouseprodinc "but rather your starting point in space."
I just said that. AS it is relation to me. Not an object in space.
Thank You
CYNO'S UP !
RnK should start making instructional videos, if you ask me.
+Derfoklishe They *are* instructional videos.
Stay cool RnK
