EVE Online 'Dominion' Update Gets Details, Trailer

Ahh trailers always making MMOs look more interesting and exciting than they actually are.

I don't know... When the game is so complex that you need to go outside the game to understand how to play it, I think a gray line is being created in the "We are a hardcore gamers game" or "We could get more players by simplifying some of this a bit."

There is a complexity that I'm sure hardcore people love having all the nitty gritty details. But then there is such a complexity that the game almost requires you to constantly be looking up things in a Wiki how things operate (not to mention, player misinformation.) So much so that they've made this in-game browser (It servers more purposes than just that, corp websites and such)

A similar correlation that I think could be drawn in how Blizzard is doing a major overhaul to their Armor/crit/dodge/resilience/hitrating/hitcap/defensecap/etc systems. You had to leave the game to go understand how to effectively be a Tank, DPS, Heal. With the expansion they are lumping all those things into simpler Buffs like Strength/Intellect/Spirit/Agility/etc and from the sounds of it, keeping all those old numbers but hiding them from the players; letting the developers to tweak.

Are they going too simple? Some hardcore WoW min-max'ers will probably not like it. I'm sure there is a better range for EVE that could cater to both hardcore and newer players. I'd say though, WoW's complexity is WAY less, even in it's current state than EVE's.

I really want to love and play this game more.

What's a doomsday device in Eve?

I haven't played EVE in years (used to be in m0o and then Reikoku), but its awesome how that trailer more or less accurately depicts EVE's tactical pvp side. The dialog is almost dead on - that is basically what it sounds like on Ventrilo during a fleet battle.

FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

two titans at the end firing on a planet? i'm going to make evemon cry with trying to get me to titan piloting.

The playerbase in EVE that the Dominion expansion most directly effects are all screaming bloody murder to delay it, because the changes are all awful. The term "SWG:NGE" is getting thrown around more than once.

I wish I could get into this game, I tried the demo and I didn't got anything.

I wish this game was a fun as that trailer makes it look.

cpp = king of trailers,

I was trying to take little break from the game but I'm reactivating now,, (from the accent I can tell they tried to represent TCF , Red Alliance .. anything else?)

I really need to get back into this game. I played it solid for my 2 months I had free, never joined a corp, and just fizzled out...I regret it!
