This hit my eye:
Epic mission arc:
Spanning multiple regions of space, this all new mission arc will take players on a journey through all four empires, starting at character creation. As the story progresses and the rewards grow more enticing, pilots will be faced with the decision of which side to fight for in the final battle.
Shouldn't that be arcs? Surely there isn't just one lousy arc coming with the expansion?

They need to have that music play when you enter wormhole space. It will put everyone on edge, especialy if your flying a rokh with marines in the cargo hold after watching aliens and you come across an abandoned ship.

On topic wise, nice teaser. Story stuff isn't online yet but I'm hoping they're planning stuff like with Quantum Rise, several teasers accompanying story elements on the website.

Really nice feature page, the background music it has is very nice I must say.
The interviews are pretty cool to listen too aswell, and the art... yum. Can't wait for them all to be up.
Only downside was some kind of odd arced section at the top of all the videos, as if a small part was more heavily interlaced than the rest. It looked very odd, and it's a bit distracting.

I think that's meant to give it a kind of tv-screen type of light sheen at the top. Can't wait for the blooper reels. :D

Seems so, which doesn't surprise me in the least. Something had to be cut from Apocrypha's list of claimed features* in order to make the March 10th deadline. Planetary rings and epic mission arcs are the victims.
This also means the people that claim that "Apocrypha has content for everyone!" can suck it, as miners get nothing from Apocrypha, while mission runners get a single T2 module.
*If you're wondering where these features were claimed to be in Apocrypha, look at the Fanfest videos. 4 months ago. |

It was to be expected I guess. I don't really do PvE anymore, I have effects and sounds disabled, so the skill/attribute changes, UI improvements and wormhole PvP are the things in it that I care about. The whining by PvE vets who got their hopes up and then will get them crushed by this will be fun to read though.

So much for all the hype and to make it worse its one arc for new players so based around lvl 1 stuff. Devs confirmed in the Game Development Forum.
So short of T3 and wormholes there nothing in the expansion content wise for old players. What happened to old expansions with a wide mix of new content.

Think of epic mission arc feature being similar to exploration content. The first patch that ever featured 'exploration' content didnt have that many sites to them they just did more work creating a foundation than content based off that foundation, as time went on this area kept on getting stuffed with more and more content. =============

I'm not that surpriced, since some things just require time to do and 3 months isn't that much even with the added people working on the expansion. Many people thought CCP would not make it, but most of the features seem to have made it. I think the expansion is great, but the features could have used a month or two of more work and tweaking. Not that it matters really in the long run, since EVE is in constant development, but CCP raised the expectations pretty high, so some people were bound to be disappointed.

Someone should post the video of that slide... the drum roll, the black curtain over it falling, spotlights swirling in the night sky, and the resulting orgy of symphony, fireworks, and amazement when it was finally revealed to the world.

You maybe don't know what is hype even if it is in front off you face. CCP is throwing tons of money into it, if you can't see then you're screwed. The "biggest eve expansion", the "mighty retail audience". My ass.
You need to realize you're a customer, not a "follower" of CCP. This expansion is very good, but it lacks things that should have been there (and they are, just for new customers).

Are you stupid or is that the best you can do? You were crying about hype over the epic mission content, not the whole expansion as a whole, which is crammed full of stuff. Stop whining and get over it, right.

Fixed it for you.
Not just the fan-fest preview, but dev interviews in numerous online magazines, on video, replies to posts etc. They have been pumping expectations a lot for this expansion and now it appears we get a new probing system, updated graphics, ability to export stuff and T3 (with wormholes) .. everything else is primarily for players coming in.
If you have no interest in T3 and has more than 6 months in-game you get close to nothing out of it.
All the things not related to W-Space and the New Player Experience, are natural refinements of the game which has to happen or we would all be ASCII characters running around in an Eve-MUD.
Edit: Mind your language please.

This new site is wicked. it wins the dinner, lunch and all other weekly meals with its gushings of win-sauce.
So fluid, so smooth. It is this site I can show to people and say to join up. Hell, I hope to open a charity camp where people can wonder in (much like a music tent that has a curious beat and thus people wander in )
Is it weird I have booked three days off for this new expansion. Never done that with the aim of sitting in front of a PC before...
Should be fun. will need pro-plus, perhaps...

Gods, I love this game. The teaser is brilliant and does its teasing so very well. I have happy tears in my eyes, if I'm honest about my level of squishiness for the art direction.
Oh yes, the music... I'm not a music guru so I can't really critique it properly, but it stands out from some of the more standard tracks RealX has done, and although it has the standard Eve pads you'd expect, the percussion underneath seems different and adds quite a lot of atmosphere. I'm enjoying that.
P.S. I would offer the wallpapers in higher quality JPG or PNG if time is available. The first thing I noticed aside from the pretty nebulas were compression artifacts around the expansion logotype. I'd expect twice the file size or more for a nice, 1920x1200 JPG image.

The problem with the new patch is that if things do not change much T3 are crap-o-holic glorified T2 cruisers that will cost as 3 times (probably more) the price. And given that all the expansion (main content at least) goes around the concept of T3 fail is coming. Black ops 2nd edition? Stop pre-nerfing CCP, ffs.
P.S: Also meh for one epic mission arc for noobs. Let's hope more updates are released soon to add/fix/rebalance stuff, which will for sure.

Just and that sleeper "AI" could be probably more decent, or at least more variance into the spawns (active tanking, playing by the same set of rules, remaking npc ewar, different spawns with different tactics like close gankage, etc.).
Just let's hope they keep polishing all these features and do not continue with their trend of 'add new stuff and don't revisite until 2 years'.

Looking forward to March 10... just a wee niggle: will there be an HTML version of the features page? Or at least a version with a typeface that isn't so small that it gives me a headache after 20 seconds?
There's plenty of room on the page for larger type: the Flash object only takes up about a third of the width of my monitor. (I use Firefox and I do know about Ctrl++... but the resulting enlargement is not crisp and it gets fiddly with that poorly designed little scroll bar being at the bottom of the flash object.)

There is this invention called 'glasses'. Been around since the late 1200's. Perhaps you have heard of it?  |

I am pretty excited for this but I do have to mention: they are calling this the biggest expansion that they have done. Are 1 type of modular cruiser for each race, graphics improvements (not quite on the scale of trinity), wormholes, and ui changes (the best feature of this expansion) really on par with something like Red Moon Rising (which glancing at the features page, introduced 23 new tech 2 ships, carriers, motherships, titans, character bloodlines, its own set of ui improvements, tractor beams, jump clones, production enhancements, and a lot of tweaking) which was considered "shy of deserving the title of "full" expansion"?

Have any of you noticed where it says we're only going to get 3 out of the 5 subsystems? This makes me a Sad Panda.

No, it says 3 variations of the 5 subsystems... meaning that for each race, there will be 3 versions of the engineering, electronics, defense, offense, and propulsion subsystems (one such item might be Caldari Defensive Subsystem 2, for example)

We were originally promised 5 variations of each of the 5 subsystems, hence the often-touted figure of 12500 new ships [5x5x5x5x5[x4 races]]
With a 3x3x3x3x3x4 combo we get a comparatively meagre 972  -----

Sorry... haven't seen this topic before posting my own. But there's a reason why this page looks so good (my guess is 2advanced).

Yes, because there are Caldari ships only, you'd not like it if it showed an ugly dominix or minmatar trash

Woo, exciting! I assume everyone can pick up the epic arc, even though it starts after player creation?
As others said, wouldn't hurt (it does now) to scale up the text on the feature page, my head is spinning.
Also, you better put that music ingame.

I knew from the moment they said "summer expansion will be released in march" that they were dreaming.
I was expecting either it to be delayed, or half the stuff would get cut.
One Arc for release is disappointing, but its good that they have focused on the NPE, especially with the box coming out.
For the first time im trying to set aside my personal wants for the expansion and consider the new players. OK so there is juicy stuff for existing players in this expansion, like t3, but my thoughts are with new players and i'll drink a pint of beer to CCP's success with this.
(but this is only a temporary reprive, ill be demanding MOAR for WiS )

What are you talking about, most stuff for this expansion also applies to old players: ui changes, graphics & sounds, neural remapping, skill queue, new probing system (I think it's not mentioned on the feature page? is not making it!?) and specially all the stuff revollving around t3 & wormholes which are the central features of the expansion.
My "only" worry is we end up with a new account on CCP track history of 'half done feature not finished': T3 is not worth it as it is right now, the industry around it could end like the boosters disaster, and the T3 ships like an other black ops or stealth bombers, "useless" ships prenerfed to hell which will cost a bazillion isks. On sleepers work done is decent but could get better I guess, a lot of work to do on that front (npcs using the same stats of players? bvarious tactics and fits? etc.). I won't whine on the epic arc stuff as it hasn't even been released, I just hope they can add new missions (and phase out gradually old stuff, ffs) with some taste of new 'AI' without having to wait for major patches each 6 months.
I wouldn't have problems with that if they would revisit it in a following patch asap (apoc 1.1, 1.2, and whichever patches are needed) but CCP has a history of attention span over their features of a 2 years old kid: factional warfare, sov warfare, endless stuff on the UI front and new additions to corp/alliance/market/S&I interfaces, mining & industry stuff, umerous balancing minor stuff and general disasters like minnies split weapon systems or blackops, and I could go on and on.
So yes, new stuff is wellcome but don't leave us with half-assed features, plz?

My point was not that the type it is out of focus, but rather that it is too small for comfortable reading.
Sometimes making a typeface small serves an important functional goal (e.g., to cram a lot of UI data onto the screen). However, the features page expressly wastes most of my screen 'real estate' (by choosing to display only a small Flash object), so that's apparently not an operative concern in this case. So it seems that the small typeface is simply an aesthetic choice. I assume it is not the intent of EVE's designers to make that website hard to use, so I do but suggest an improvement.

So much hype, so much in the Iceland meeting, and now this. It's like...unacceptable? very low.
it's 80 missions long and has like 30 endings.
als this mean the system is done and more can be made.
got to make that m10 date for the box.
Yeah but the funny thing is, there was one specific team working on just the missions.. If i was Torifrans i'd have fired them by now.. They work as long as the other teams, and all they manage to produce is 1 single epic arc? While the other teams managed new fitting windows/functionality/importing-exporting, new t3 ships and modular stuff, wormholespace with 2499 new systems, new effects for all weapons and modules..
And then the mission team comes there. "Oh hai... We have 1 mission arc for new players." Yeah, well worth their salary. Lazy bums! /rant

Any chance one of the new features is a fix for the memory leak introduced in QR?
