This video just doesn't capture the skill of this guy. He releases multiple hour long videos of this kinda gameplay every few days. The man dies what like 2 or 3 times over 2-3 hours of streaming? On top of that, he calls out everything that he's going to do, and what the enemy team is going to do, and it's spot on 90% of the time. Hands down the best player there is in the game right now
Thank you for the encouraging words, I still enjoy having montages it's like a recap of some stuff. I agree thought it's very hard to really capture and make it entertaining from SPVP perspective as a thief because the role you play as thief being +1/decap.
For me, best thief GW2. He explains realtime everything he does, he does everything with almost perfect timing, mechanical wise he´s a beast and the best of all if that he is doing these kind of things to TOP10 PvP players. Definitely you deserve the God of PvP title.
Every Profession can be god tier in pvp if you learn how to play. Not trying to be a troll with that statement, but it is true. Learn what each class can and can't do and what your current class can do. All the people going "Thief OP" are just inexperienced players not countering or utilizing themselves properly.
Sind, to me your videos are amazing on multiple levels: not only are they interesting/entertaining to watch and have helped me to play with n against thieves better, but they have surprisingly helped me play a far more effective mesmer! Your kiting, target prioritization, jukes and placement of burst are fantastic and definitely top notch. Keep kickin butt :)
Hands down best thief and best streamer. Great to see someone has spent the time to show a little of Sindrener's skill off. I have learnt so much from this guy. Keep it up!
Props to Shadowfall for making one of the most dynamic GW2 montages. Nothing exaggerated, sticking with the same style throughout the whole video. Those zoom-ins upon interrupting and skill icon combos are really a nice addition. They break some kind of monotonous clip-by-clip action we see in most montages. Just a thought for the narrowing screen at 2:26 - perhaps you could leave the screen as is until he enters stealth. Then you could crop it. I had to look twice if something was wrong with the screen covering skill icons. Just a thought :) Other than that, I enjoyed every second of Sindrener's gameplay and Shadowfall's montage.
Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it! Yeah I wasn't sure how to build in the crop, since it would also kinda look odd if I would only show half of the icons etc. But narrowing it when he enters stealth is a good idea!
Holy sick editing and gameplay. We all know that you are damn good, but incredibly great job from the editor. I especially liked the intro, may steal that idea and do something similar as well! :D
Video is way too short to get all the highlights and the godplays he delights us in every stream. Even though great video, insane plays, as always. All bow to the thief god.
One question: Why don't you use the black powder -> heartseeker + steal -> backstab combo? I found it to be very useful for engaging and downing an unsuspecting opponent in a teamfight with a lot of aoe flying around. Is this just personal preference or this combo just generally bad for a reason.
Really nice footage, however I did prefer your previous style of montages with the witch house music better. GG and keep it up, really appreciate your streams as well.
Either that or he teleported using hacks (which I doubt) because he just appears behind her, Shadowstep is on cd, and he didn't use steal or shadow shot.
Nice video. Great skill. Get back that R1 from KingKong..! Also, what lacks in this and "primal stomp" video , is your comments on your actions. It helps to analyze your actions and teaches others. For Shadowfall: Just for my taste the music from "primal stomp" video is much better - gives more immersion maybe. Also on my monitor its too contrasty, too dark sometimes (maybe its just my issues). According zoom ins - if original footage is 60 fps or more, in moments of crits or interrupts slow them down to 25 (or whatever is final fps), and then do a zoom in. It will be much smoother and easier for the viewers eye to capture this moment (I dont know which editing software u use, like Shift + B in FCPX.)
the zoom-ins feel too clunky and hard. It is a good idea to somehow make the PI have some sort of visual impact as well (I'll just assume that's what he was going for) but this could have been achieved in a smoother way. Part of the reason is also that with how GW looks (the UI) it feels alienating when it zooms in like that. Maybe a mix of blur and warp of the whole screen could work? Idk Also you (Shadowfall in case you read this which I hope) should watch out for transitions where you go completely black. This is sort of hard on the eyes and throws of some of the immersion while watching. (For example at 1:19) Other than this well done video and it's certainly one of the better edited GW2 videos. I like how the words in the beginning of the vid are done. Good job on that. @Sindrener would be nice if you could forward this to Shadowfall in case he won't see it himself! really nice gameplay from your side of course as well. Thief looks really strong this season!
IkjuGRAPHICS Thanks for the feedback, as this is my second try on editing a video to gw2 I appreciate any constructive criticism a lot. I was also wondering if I should do those zoom-ins but this also kinda worked as my first try and experiment using After-Effects. Again, thanks for your honest feedback! Edit: And I haven't even considered that those transitions could be kinda hardto watch, so thank you for bringing that up!
No problem at all I'm glad you're not minding it. I tried myself at video editing a bit so I got a reaaally basic knowledge of it. I almost excluseviley used sony vegas though but I experimented with AE a bit in the end. AE is really amazing but so hard to get into (for me it was anyways). Some other things I want to comment on: The color correction is decent. I really like the intro. Masks would be so cool but I can imagine it's not really possible with this kind of footage.
Yea I made my first montage exclusively with adobe premiere, but since that's not really the right software for composing I gave AE a shot in this one. As you said it's really hard to get into and I'm just starting trying to improve :D. Regarding the masks I also would imagine that it's quite difficult as I also only could use the most basic color grading since the quality isn't top-notch itself and the clips would become blurry.

too lit, best thief
3:07 "Here's what I think about your trap"
This makes me wanna play GW2 again. I really love the thief profession! Hands down the most fun assassin in any MMO! Keep up the good work man!
Thank you!
For me, best thief GW2. He explains realtime everything he does, he does everything with almost perfect timing, mechanical wise he´s a beast and the best of all if that he is doing these kind of things to TOP10 PvP players. Definitely you deserve the God of PvP title.
Kossen Give him other class to play that is not OP, then say he should get God of pvp title.
but thief isnt really op..>_

Hes the GOAT. Period.

Thank you! Appreciate it:) not only for the nice words but im really happy that my content continue to improve the level of others regardless class
was sleeping when your vid popped on ytube but the amazing music awoke me.
Hands down best thief and best streamer. Great to see someone has spent the time to show a little of Sindrener's skill off. I have learnt so much from this guy. Keep it up!

Just absolute skill. Your streams are clear and helpful. Good attitude too. Gameplay was on point, and intro with you drawing the gun was fire. WP.
Kocoff games cheers!
Blew my mind to see that you're using the on-kill sigils. I'm no where good enough to fully utilize those xD
very fun to watch my man, it's nice to see a thief that is playing to the maximum.
Funny when you're like "i've seen it live! Oh and this one too" Then u realized u've watched him too much xD
Awesome!!!!!! Amazing! Fantastic! Keep on making montages :-)
Really nice man, mvp plays all over da place
I Exy I thanks exy!
Nice first fight 😂😂
Gj Ladd
this is awsome
the king is in the place GG bro !!!
and good montage :)
Oh really sick montage! Keep up the good work :)
What do you like more current SD meta or an old DP one like in this clip? To me DP looks so much more fun and fluid...
Old DP anytime
Holy sick editing and gameplay. We all know that you are damn good, but incredibly great job from the editor. I especially liked the intro, may steal that idea and do something similar as well! :D
Thanks, yeah shad0wfall did an amazing job :)
Video is way too short to get all the highlights and the godplays he delights us in every stream. Even though great video, insane plays, as always. All bow to the thief god.
how to kill a wild helseth vol 1
wait wait what is this insane intro you should put it in your recent videos too
Where do you get titles for those? Are they track names?
Also stream music > this
White Bear Alchemy 2016
Mostly track names yes or art
Gg best thief i've never seen ! Best player !
One question: Why don't you use the black powder -> heartseeker + steal -> backstab combo? I found it to be very useful for engaging and downing an unsuspecting opponent in a teamfight with a lot of aoe flying around. Is this just personal preference or this combo just generally bad for a reason.
Blutiges Schwanzhusten its too clunky, too much blocks to get any value doing it. Also too predictable.
Freakin Awesome!!
Really nice footage, however I did prefer your previous style of montages with the witch house music better.
GG and keep it up, really appreciate your streams as well.
This is so dope ! :D :O
Great play! Any chance for your build ?
Max Maximo his build is on his twitch homepage
Many Thanks =)
How did you land the backstab at 6:00??? It looks like there's a cut in the video
Either that or he teleported using hacks (which I doubt) because he just appears behind her, Shadowstep is on cd, and he didn't use steal or shadow shot.
It was just a cut to take some length out of the duel.
solid !
Nice video. Great skill. Get back that R1 from KingKong..!

rip the good music
needs more blvck;)
FeelsBadMan
Whoa nice plays!
not a fan of the zoom-ins but the skill icon gimmick is really sweet.
Thanks! I'm sure Shadowfall appreciate any constructive feedback

No problem at all I'm glad you're not minding it.
I tried myself at video editing a bit so I got a reaaally basic knowledge of it. I almost excluseviley used sony vegas though but I experimented with AE a bit in the end.
AE is really amazing but so hard to get into (for me it was anyways).
Some other things I want to comment on:
The color correction is decent.
I really like the intro.
Masks would be so cool but I can imagine it's not really possible with this kind of footage.
Yea I made my first montage exclusively with adobe premiere, but since that's not really the right software for composing I gave AE a shot in this one. As you said it's really hard to get into and I'm just starting trying to improve :D.

how do u make that intro man its sick, nice gameplay tho best thief eva ;)
Nihilus otkuray it was shadowfall who made it
aha thanks friend it looks very nice ;)
gameplay/editing is really good but that first and last song are the most overused songs ever
I personally don't really listen to this type of music, I think editing to my style would be very weird hehe
Whut. First time I ever hear it.
I can totally agree regarding the first one! Never heard the last one before I used it in this montage though.
This is also my first time hearing all songs used in the video. I actually enjoyed them, even though it's not my usual go to genre.
