Re: Do we really need to suffer through another year of pokespam and LT-abuse?

I agree with you on the LT thing - it's a tool that does tend to seperate the good players from the great players when it comes to misdirection.

It's just this kind of garbage that people hate to deal with:


@KidShowtime1867 Would you mind posting an explanation on how you create these clips? I think it would improve the quality of discussion if more people knew how to do this because they are really good at illustrating problems. The native "upload a video" feature of the message board is a mess...

    Yea no problem. 

    These instructions apply to Xbox, but I'm sure the Playstation users can find equivalent settings for capturing gameplay.

    Firs of all, make sure your console is set up to automatically upload clips. This makes things a little easier

    Head over to https://www.GameClips.io

    Enter your Gamertag in the top right corner and search. This will bring up all of your recent captures. (It sometimes takes 10-15 minutes for my clip to appear on this site. YMMV)

    In order to quickly convert these to GIFs, I use a program called 'GifCam' - https://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam

    Essentially, this app allows you to capture your desktop and save to a GIF. So what I do is navigate to the clip I want to use, fire open GifCam - put it over top of the video and capture the sequence I want. Then I save the GIF to my computer.

    After that, I upload the gif to https://www.imgur.com

    After you upload the gif, you right-click it and select 'copy link'. (This will copy a link that ends in .MP4, but we'll get to that in a sec)

    Now - to add the GIF to your message on the forums - click the 'HTML' tab and use HTML to add your GIF:

    (NOTE: Change the extension on your link from MP4 to GIF or else it won't load)

    Seems complicated, and there might be an even easier way of doing this, but it's just getting things set up that takes the most time. Once you get in to a groove in this setup, it's super easy to get clips.

    @KidShowtime1867 I always found the media upload feature on the EA forums to be so frustrating… very medieval aged lol… lots of other forums you can just copy paste a link or something and it’ll show up properly…

    The LT abuse like that gif you have is atrocious… mostly why I don’t bother playing online..
