Entropia Universe concept video

Is that the "new render trailer using a real female actor (Sayah King)" that was announced by MindArk (several times & a long time ago)...in cooperation with...uh, was (had to be) produced by Planet Arkadia Team ?​

​

Dont get me wrong, it is well put together and you got my attention​

for the 1st 30 seconds, until the female voice started.​

​

Maybe hire a professional voice for 200$-500$ next time,​

that uses a pro-microphone too ? =)​

I mean, this got announced as an official MindArk product...back then...​

​

It would be "great work" if it would have been another​

contest/participant/fan made video...just for the kicks.​

But somehow I was thinking of something even more professional/spectacular this time, as it used to be an official MindArk announc...Planet Arkadia Team product.​

​

And why would you try to copy the original concept video this way ?​

​

​

No retro feeling, no goosebumps here.​

​

Is MindArk really out of money ? Did they even pay you guy(s) ?​

​

SEE, what has been done in 2001/2002.​

​

​

Kudos for the effort though. (trolls away)​

 

And maybe it is a good idea to take out taming as "useable profession" *hint, hint*


I agree that the pink (8-9) ones are true professions...more or less... :p

And the red ones are listed multiple times...more or less... :p

Hunter, Miner, Crafter, Trader

Tailor = Crafter ?

Stylist, Medic

Archaeologist = Miner ?

Mentor, Landowner, Eventmanager

Beautician = Stylist ?

Explorer (how, without any points of interest?)

Technican = Repairer ?

PvP Maestro = PvP

Pilot = victim :p

Virtual Star = never dies...but wasnt that Wistrel ?

Enterpreneuer = worst case scenario

Sales Agent = what the... ?

Gunner = Hunter / PVP ?

Repairer = Technican ?

Model = Fashion victim ? ;)

Carpenter =Crafter ?

Colourer = Crafter / Stylist ?

Animal Tamer = n.a.

Mindforce User = Hunter / PvP ?
(or what else was mindforce good for again ?) -_- oooOOOooOoOOOoo

Radio DJ = hmmkay

Brawler = Hunter / PVP ?

Texturizer = Crafter ?

Treasure Hunter = Miner ?

Space Knight = say what ?

Pirate = PvP ?

What about the scanning profession ? Did you leave that one out because MindArk f*cked this profession like never before ? :)

 

McCormick perhaps you are misunderstanding something or more likely missing something as indeed we all may be...

 

Yup! I'm tickled pink to be in it haha. Almost as good as that time I appeared in your Land Deed video! (almost)

Wistrel

 

I SEE the old Sayah King Video as big step forward in creating an professional, official introduction video for Entropia. Pure Quality.

The new video isnt bad. But it simply doesnt have the look and feel of a "Official Introduction Video". It didnt even get announced as that.

And why had Team Arkadia to do it ? Whos left at MindArk ? Does the creativity/design crew really consist of Timkrans and son, David Simmonds, Benny Iggland and Bridge Investment ?!?! Jesus Christ ?!

The new (official) video is lovely put together. I know how much work needs to be done and the hardest step is to release it and...still be satisfied with it, when you watch it over and over and over again.

As MindArk announced a new render trailer with a real female actor, I seriously expected something else then a "lovely" fan made video.

MindArk has lied again and they and others wonder why I point at those "problems" ?

Some people already SEE me as public enemy of MindArk. Are they really THAT blind ? Or do they simply not care at all anymore ? Are they really completly happy with this product (the universe). How often do you have to forgive ? Jesus Christ !!?? ;D

Yea, I miss the past, the past that will never return. I miss a lot of broken promises.

Maybe I should really lower my expectations in this MMO.
(and Im already at 50%)

Still, there are rays of hope left, somewhere, out there...lets SEE...

 

It may be time for an intervention, Micky.

We are all here for you, care about you, want you to get better. But, you're addicted to the way PE was, and the charming things that hooked us so many years ago. It is time... time to let go of those dreams. The old neighborhood will never be the same. The new mega-mall has been built over it; a shiny, glistening glass building, with incredible rides, exhibits, and promises inside.

It won't be an easy road to recovery. In fact, it will be very difficult, painful at times. But we are all here for you, waiting... waiting for you to rejoin us in the adventure. You can do it! You'll SEE!

 

Its not just about the past or the design. Its about identity.
For sure there are still funny rides and nice exhibits. I fully agree.
Else I would have left long ago. The identity got thrown into the mud and kicked with feet until it suffered from a thing called "We want to be 1st using CryEngine 2!"

The love is gone, the details are gone. The originality is gone. A huge part of the alienated, immersive world feeling is gone. You cant just replace all of that by just placing a mega-mall on the muddy ground, where the old Entropia is still trying to breath, trying to brake through, with its full potential.

The mega-mall is based on lies and broken/false promises.

There could have been done so much more. More then just breaking promises again and again and again and again...

More then just adding a FarCry themed feeling to calypso and use a random generator on huge parts of the landscape.

More then turning well known towns and places into a single service center or an empty, boring, random generated area.

There have been done so many things the wrong way. The road to recovery is heavily damaged, unuseable and the MindArk team build many road barriers on it.

I never left this adventure, so no need to re-join. Im mining now and then, Im hunting now and then and Im going for the Viceroy Candy Armor right now. (the long way) :)

But hell, this universe deserves to be treated with more respect. We need men of honor at the top again. Many of the creative people did not deserve to get fired after the SEE incident.

 

I don't know... I wonder where its all going. My biggest fear right now is that we may SEE another planet partner fail or fail to launch. Its already happened twice. A third might make people sit up and start to take notice... I can imagine a very scary situation where the deed price suddenly crashes as the weekly revenue drops. All it would take would be enough of a rumour that the game was doing an Afterworld and suddenly people wouldn't be able to get their money out fast enough! I also feel that if enough people tried to sell their deeds MA would struggle to front the cash for the withdrawals. This would also have a knock on effect to the income as freeing ped out of deed tie ups would put a lot of currency available in game so less need to deposit.

 

An old PE friend just introduced me to his vision of a new Entropia Trailer. SEE, what well choosen scenes, epic music and some little sound effects can do to a videoclip. :)

 

Sometimes great idea's backfire on those who exploit it. Seems MindArk becomes the victim in this case along with those who are on the train with them.
Still I could not understand how you can ever create a fair R.C.E where you can pull your money back while we all very aware about all the costs around a project like this that have to be paid also.
The simple fact for those who can calculate should know in advance this game will cost money and not deliver it, with some exceptions of course. Remember that these exceptions, mostly planet partners and traders press even more on the budget called possible returns for the common people...

If you now see that planets fall and new planet partners even seem to fail the launch you should really head-scratch yourself...

Still EU has survived 21-12-2012 so they at least not become victims of the end of the world yet...

 

Hi,

Quoted for truth.

The mega-mall doesn't suit my needs anymore. It's clean, sterile, polished, shiny, but soooo artificial. I try to make a living in it, but I can't but feel like one of the hobos at the entrance. I'm not ready to deposit a small fortune each month to participate in the high-stake gamble that is what is left as challenging. In a world that is this poorly done, this artificial.

The graphics as well as the animations are - just poor. Watch the video. Isn't it disgusting? Watch the robotic moving of the girl, like a marionette played by a newbie puppeteer?

Uncanny valley anyone?

Ages ago, before CE2 (that could sport much better results, see Crysis, btw), with the old Gamebryo engine, we all looked strange, moved strange, in a strange world, but, because all of this was this strange, it worked - and was immersive ways beyond what we have today.
Ever played WoW? Yes, even crazy comic-like Gnomes, Trolls, Orks or Elves can feel ways more "real" and immersive compared to the Barbie-&-Ken clones we have to to play in EU, today. (if animated by well done animation code)

Well, a new, shiny, sterile mega-mall has been build where once a small, strange market was. While I spent quite some money in this old market each month, always had fun to be there, chatting with the pals, spending time at the good old slot machines, the new mega-mall doesn't suit my needs anymore.
The pals have left, the stakes for the promising slot machines went to "insane", and the fun is gone - it's all about "money, money, eco" now. But not mine!

When thinking about goin' to the mega mall I usually check the forum first, get stuck, then write posts like this one, and forget about the mega mall meanwhile.
Only to visit another small, strange market later, have fun there, and spent my money there. Bad luck, MA.


This video looks quite ridiculous to me. They want to show off with such poor performance, ORLY? And besides this, every nOOb will discover in the very first 5 mins of actual try-out that it's completely faked. The EU reality is even worse ...

Have fun!

PS: For sure, all = my 2 PEC. And biased. And negative. Tbh, I don't care. As MA doesn't care about players like me.

 

That is awesome! I really really really like it. Its not perfect and some shots are a little ropey but I love that they've done it. I actually kinda had an inkling that the new trailer would spawn a collection of "alternatives" done better. Glad to see at least someone took up the challenge :D

 

OK entirely unrelated question.... but at the end of the above video, the spaceship...."look at him he's heading for that small moon"

 

Thats no moon...thats a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

 

nice videos :)

 

Of the two concept videos I liked the first one as Saya King was a lot better in it :)

 

"Have you EVER heard that before?"

 

Was just my personal opinion
