    There are way too many pvp videos that have either music from some anime or Nickelback. Some commentary on your playstyle and class is alot more interesting imo.

    I personally prefer videos that have commentary on thought process and decisionmaking - probably also analysing mistakes being made.

    Music + gameplay is nice sometimes, especially when it's clear some thought has been put into the music choices (Lyser's magwarden video set to "I Can't Go For That" right after the Fissure nerf, or some of the exquisitely-timed DBOS + beat drop combos in Rhage's videos, for example). Commentary can be nice, but often enough it just feels like superfluous narration to me ("and now I kite up the stairs because there are a lot of blues" blah blah blah). In-game comms can be very nice when they're relevant to what's going on, with callouts and useful info instead of just random chatter.

    So in short, all three can be great or mute-worthy, depending on how much thought is put into them.

    Music that isn't terrible and fits ESO, not an edgy call of duty montage. Or commentary if its something unique like an off meta build/playstyle.

    For group play videos, I definitely prefer comms as long as the group is focused and most of the chatter is relevant to the fight I'm watching.
    Music is a little hit or miss. There is some really well made content out there with music, but most of the time it just looks like a compilation video with "here's my favorite song at the moment" tacked on.

    I prefer commentary but only if the person has personality/good voice. Nothing worse than hearing commentary from someone that is rushing or sounds like he should lay off the grass a little lol.

    I also liked DDukes recent build videos where is plays an entree BG and has photos overlaid while he is talking. Very informative and entertaining.

    I love Jack Daniels PvP commentary that follows a build video.

    Voice comms = the people in your group talking to one another. A real time recording of what the group members were saying to one another during the fights.

    Commentary = a voice-over, usually recorded after the fact, describing the decisions and actions recorded in the video.

    All depends on the type of pvp video. If it’s a montage I’d rsther hear music, but if it’s for educational purposes then commentary matters more. Albeit, you still can have background music.

    any gaming related channel should have one of these three things for me to watch it :

    1. good and interesting commentary
    2. great and not boring gameplay(I'm gonna watch fengrush do an ok job at playing a stamDk but I won't watch the best nightblade ever sitting in stealth and ganking people on their horses.)
    3. informative. Alcast might not be the greatest player or have the best commentary , but he sure has informative content, and he does a little bit of everything on my list. Good player, good commentary and great interaction with his viewers, very informative.
    4. Bonus points for not having a garbage taste in music.

    I'm telling these three things about all games, not just eso. Commentary should always come first, if you don't have that, you should be as good as shroud is at pubg otherwise you won't get too far. And an informative channel that teaches you things and makes you think outside the box is always welcome too. I like theorycrafting a lot for example, I don't like it when people do builds and don't even use it themselves and when a build makes me say ''how did I not think of this myself'', I know thats worthy of my attention, obviously the next thing I want is to see that build in action.

    Definitely solid gameplay and solid music. Voice comms are nice if they are funny or intense, but I don't need to hear why you pressed your heal button at the time you did. Unless you are a new player, you probably know why someone is doing what they are doing. But good gameplay and music I think is entertaining all the time. I prefer watching NA PC videos, though. Not sure if others feel the same about their megaserver.

    Except Nickleback. If you play that, I'm blocking your channel for life. I don't care if you are a legend in the game or give the best build advice ever...I don't trust people who listen to Nickleback on purpose.

    That’s what I’m kinda on the fence about. I mean I’ll use your most recent video as an example. I consider myself a high level player and I know what’s going on and can more or less figure out the nuances of what’s going on. However, I have experience on every class and I can see how a mid, mid-high level player could struggle to understand what’s going on in your head during some of those fights.

    I think there’s definitely a gap there concerning educational info and helping other people become higher level players.

    @p00tx what if it’s a video about capturing Nickel back from the other alliance, no ironic nickelback there?
