in the next one should also show some of the fun "Stuff-ups" like accidentally jumping a titan instead of bridging. Shocked

Great trailer.

Spouse isn't even a big fan of Eve, and even this was epic... Well done, to CCP and all players involved! Keep it up!

Great job CCP and players for making a truely epic trailer!

I was fortunate to witness the release of this at #EDU2014, and I think I will be watching this when I get home many more times!

I heard you got 300 trail signups overnight, which is great. Hope they turn into subscribers!

The only thing that I can think that might deter some people subbing is when they realise how long it will take to train to fly/use some of those ships in the trailer Big smile

Epic job though guys please we want more!

I ran into 3 guys tonight I hadn't seen in ages, they all mentioned the trailer as the reason they came back.

Best Trailer ever as far as I'm concerned.

Nice. Very nice. In particular the pipe bomb part, that was hilarious.



I was clapping and cheering when that happened lol. This was the opposite of my in-game reaction when it happened to me lol.

This trailer is like watching a sexy woman go by - you just stare in awe.

The trailer is great indeed. But the problem still will be that people starting EVE because of this trailer will leave disappointed when looking at windows and brackets all the time.

Why isn't CCP releasing a script based BATTLE RECORDER to use the engine for post-editing and post-rendering every fight from cinematic perspectives? Can some DEV answer this? This idea is now out for years and was even supported by the CSM.

The soundtrack is a nice adaption from MAN OF STEEL and works perfectly.

The other vids may have been more epic/awesome/cinematographically perfect. But this hits the mark as being the only one truly "getting" the game.

Just look at the numbers of new character creation, it has spiked by 3x after the trailer. It's the BRB5 effect in action...

I've shown the trailer to people who know I'm a EVE freak and they all are in awe about it. Fortunately, they also have me to tell them the chances they have to experience anything shown in the trailer... and a esitmate of how much time and money would cost them to get there. Twisted

Another rather good trailer showcasing that without us, CCP and their game amounts to spacedust.

CCP this is just as much a call for inspiration to you, as it is to us. Make us want to play and recruit our friends once more. End this stagnation, it's is not only nullsec that has stagnated to the point of people leaving the game in handfuls due to it not being fun, and plex being a ludicrous price.

The fact that our playerbase is one of the best in the history of MMOs is because of the old spirit that CCP had. A spirit that departed long ago, and we await its return.

CCP Seagull, I love you, we love you, we always have. Kick this game in the nuts, shake things up and make us feel badass again. Don't walk the fine line between being diplomatic and a hostile takeover-style dictatorship. Rule the dev team with an iron fist and make them realize the dream you have.

I would actually watch that....Big smile

And for all the criticasters that this is just one big null propaganda show: It isn't. It's about genuine joy in playing this game, together with friends or solo. The scanning, industry and trade side of EvE are also in this wonderful trailer.



Then maybe CCP should wonder why 90% of the trailer is devoted to what 20% of the players do 1% of the time. Why there is so little joy to so little people in so little chances?

This trailer will replay the BRB5 effect. People will join expecting to do what they've seen, and they'll find out that the game is nothing like that, and their chances to as much as do anyhting show in the video are slim and will take a lot of money and time to to get there.

Someone should tell them that the ships they see are player ships, some of them quite expensive, and a game where such destructive events happened each day should be a game with free respawns, unconsequential loss and no ingame entry barriers.

A player can see a video of a tank blapping stuff in Planetside 2 and can do that withing 30 minutes and for free. Then he can keep honing his skill and become a terrific tank blapper.

But in EVE, the road to totally ruin the day of other players is long and expensive and the chances are totally stacked against the new guy because it's an old game, with a veteran and highly organized playerbase, and CCP is quite literally focused in selling the game back to former customers since development is devoted to stuff like adding a Level 90 area (Thera) for some of the Level 80 veterans, so they don't go to play other games.

I don't enjoy being bitter, but I also will not think CCP are doing anything good until I feel an urge to resub my main and put her 75 million SP to use. And as far as I can tell and as far as CCP has been doing for the last 3 years, nothing is changing...

Great video!

I really enjoyed it. Having Tempelman N laughing his head off in glee, tipped me over the edge. I succumbed and resubbed Big smile

More please!

Aaaaaaand relax.

Pretty neat. There is only one thing that bothers me. (which has been said befor, but i point it out again):

And who wonders why test-players and new-players quit so fast? Maybe they did expect an action game?

->Action, explosions, and more action. If you want to focus the community and show what eve really is then include more of the other 90% gameplay:
- meta gaming (spying, intel, strategic...)
- w-space hunt preparations
- miner chats
- POS bashing congo lines?!?

Just wanted to point out that such fleet fights are rare for a lot of pilots.
