Having recently completed my first pvp video it made me look back at all those past years and past videos. The list is not completed, I am just posting what was memorable for me.
pre-2008/2008:
Age of Conan Assassin PVP BETA weekend video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-O9llVT4dc
low level, beta pvp
2008:
Wohast - Rider - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fLwxLC2nHM
This video might look like crap, but it's probably the first 80lvl assassin pvp vid ever recorded. By that time Whoast was one of the first lvl80 players and everyone was asking how is pvp in the end game. He posted this in the reply.
Mephs - no gimmicks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYshs63AnO4
Mephs was one of the premiere assassins of his time and he made a lot of great movies. This clip is the only surviving part of the clips, but luckly I have them stored my my HDD and will re-post them soon enough. This movie had old combo system where "jousting" was the most common pvp technique (pre-loading 5-6 combo steps and landing it on opponent).
2009:
Age of Conan Assassin PvP Romelon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8mDQv11Foc
Post-combo steps nerf movie. This might be patch 1.4, but I can't really narrow it down.
2010:
Bloodrayne Killing Spree - AoC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV8pQ-B4KEk
Last movie made in 1.5 before big revamp of 1.6. This was the hardest time for assassins as classic hybrid got nerfed to the ground and casters were the ruling caste of Hybria (it was also called "age of casters").
2010:
Age of Conan Assassin PvP by Cozzano - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tbYfLwVBJ8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQxGbB3g4Ls - reupload with music
First post-revamp movie that really showcased the power house that assassins were at that time. Combo skipping and instant-CCs made pvp ultra fast and ultra flashy
2011:
Age of Conan assassin pvp video Jindae - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwQbh_JGy0E
post combo fix and CC revamp (added combo steps and casting time). More ROGS influenced pvp experience.
2012:
2013:
Bloodshed in the dreaming west by Slith - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8AdxMYD7oc
This video is featuring "raw" and unedited 1v1. None of the fights is staged and every single one is spontaneous minigame action.
Not all cooldowns are always available, not everyone is ready and things can turn weird (like opponent running away).
The fights are 1v1 and uniterupted by other players (I trashed the footage if I got any help from my team).
I have hand picked my opponents so they are either matching my gear or are wearing better stuff (T4, T4 weapons or T3 weapons) with an exception of ninja song.
Insurrection by Muffz Opportunist - http://vimeo.com/72181117
Open world madness during World Bosses event.
2014:
