I’m not doing this one. The likelyhood of winning anything is so terribly low. That said, I say kudos to CCP for trying to deal with a major problem with the game. Skillpoints are just too time consuming. The huge number of skills along with the time needed to earn them is a major barrier to entry into the game as well as to maintaining a subscription. Anything that can be done to lower this burden is good for the game. So why not just increase the overall rate at which skills are earned by doubling (or more) the Omega rate for all skills? That would get my 550+ day skill queue down to 275. Still a long time but at least I would be able to participate in more activities more quickly. ---

> [@grimaxemorpher](#): > > how do I record the gameplay There’s a few options for this sort of thing. If you have an Nvidia card, I would recommend using Shadowplay. > **[ShadowPlay: Record, Share Game Videos & Screenshots | NVIDIA](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/shadowplay/)** > > ShadowPlay allows you to record and share high-quality game videos, screenshots, and livestreams with your friends. It’s part of your Nvidia package, and allows for both recording as you go and more DVR style “save the last five minutes or so” recording whenever you’ve done something fun or impressive, or whatever. Easy to use, pretty good quality, plenty of utility for basic recording. If you use multiple clients or tab around a lot etc, it can get a bit wonky though. > **[Open Broadcaster Software | OBS](https://obsproject.com/)** > > OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding. Open Broadcasting Software (or OBS) is a lot more complicated, but at the same time a lot more powerful. A favorite of Streamers and allowing for pretty granular control over what to record on which clients, audio recordings and so on, I would highly recommend it if you are going to be recording on the regular. Takes more time to get comfortable with than most other options, but worth it in the end if you’re going to do it a lot. I’d mention a few alternatives like Fraps and so on, but at this point they’ve sadly kind of fallen behind the competition in terms of performance and features, and both Shadowplay and OBS are free and you won’t lose anything by giving them a shot. For the actual editing… well, that’s another kettle of fish entirely. There’s your free alternatives like Blender (actually a 3D animation thing, but has a surprisingly decent video editor as well, free), Lightworks and DaVinci but I can’t really say much about any of those. I tend to go for the paid programs, like Vegas PRO, Adobe Premiere etc. Those are heavy investments though, so not worth it for something like this competition. Youtube itself has a basic video editor thing letting you crop out just the important bits, if memory serves, so all you _really_ need for this is a way to record, and Shadowplay or OBS will serve you well for that. … all that said, do you really want to put in this kind of effort for something this wank? ---

Competition should be interesting for majority of players, not for youtube professionals, who are hardcore game funs same time. Average completion time for causal player - a little over 30 sec. While pro players says it should be done in about 10-12 sec. Video record is a proof? WTF? I dunno how to do it. Just 3-4 prizes? Why should I try? There are no chances. Right way to do such event should be like: give us an item (lets say mid or better any slot module that start time count, after activation. And a screenshot as a proof. There should be some little reward for reasonable speed, for eveyone. Faster - more. ---

This form of competition is very limiting. I have no idea how to take a video of my own gameplay let alone upload it, and even if I did, given this is a speed based contest, what hope has anyone got if living in Australia where we have that much server lag it’s not funny at times. And just like the last round of Tournaments, who has the time and money to just drop everything in their real lives to jet off to Iceland for a few weeks if they win? This “Skilling Spree” could have been a bit better thought out, CCP. ---
