I am posting this because I care

Dear Mindark,

You recently posted a new, AI generated 4 minute video to youtube, in hopes to get views and possibly make us excited about new content.

I love your game, I always have

but I am really starting to wonder what is going on with you at this moment.

In the video, we can see this clip.

It’s a well known weapon within the Entropia crowd. The EWE Laser Carbine/Rifles.

Awesome stuff, so awesome that CDF actually made their own version of it.

What happens next is beyond beggars belief

The following scene is this

A whole bullet, including case (and i suspect from the looks of it… propellant inside it..), primer and at the very front, the bullet itself.

If you are trying to tease me with new content and this is the result of the AI generated videos that you are now pushing more and more, let me tell you… it is pushing me further and further away.

Imagine coming across this as a new player, and you see this exact scene… What do you think is gonna go through their mind?

I say this with love,

you can do better than this.

Raise your standards.

Is that the only thing that bothers you? How about that she’s running through robots and they’re ignoring her completely except the one she’s running to?

But to be fair, can do only so much with AI, tell it to correct one scene and it will break 10 others. It probably took a lot of prompts to get it mostly right, and this one is already a big step up from what they did before.

Absolutely not the only thing that bothers me.

Imho, the whole video is embarrassing.

I was looking forward to catch up to Entropia today after being offline for a while because of RL, and seeing this just completely killed my mood of even logging in.

I am sorry, this is a you issue.

You are just complaining at this point. This bothers you but not lasers with 28m range?

Play the game, don’t watch their videos frame by frame

If you dont see the lack of standards in a video teaser like this, thats not a me issue.

I care about the game and seeing this becoming the new “thing” is rather upsetting.

I guess its a me issue. Shouldnt have so high hopes i guess…

I mean I understand what you are saying BUT man this game has SOOOO MANY other issues…

According to Google high end animation costs between $10,000 and $40,000 to create. The video is four minutes?

Imagine if they would spend 6-24 months worth of salaries on a teaser video instead with so much problems in game. I’m happy they used AI and an afternoon

Edit: Also isn’t that how bullets been depicted in slow motion in games and movies ever since Matrix?

No, it isnt. A whole ass cartridge being shot out of a rifle is beyond stupid

Caseless ammunition appears quite frequently in sci-fi literature. But the devil is in the details .Given that the core player base of MMORPGs consists of geeks who always notice lore details, a laser rifle ejecting a bullet and casing looks cringeworthy. Even assuming it’s a BLP rifle, the flange on the cartridge case/bullet looks cringeworthy too.


EU doesn’t attract the same crowd as other games. Especially with the recruit a colonist addition and new ads it is super clear the new target audience is people who want to get rich quick. Same people will ask chatgpt to write a book and publish on Amazon with prompts and everything. I wouldn’t say the target audience pays attention to detail not quality.

Yes, but this target audience of new colonists needs to come from other MMOs. The concepts of being a geek and having the opportunity to earn money are not mutually exclusive. New colonists need to see a serious attention to detail right from the start—before they invest in the game.Every pixel in the RCE game must look presentable.Every pixel must radiate the magic of real money.

well they are because there is nothing beneath their current standard.

Back in the day people were registered because neverdie mortgage his house to purchase ingame goods and others were paying 300k for weapon nowadays people get scamed for a footage that looks nothing from current actual game.

Bankrupcy is closer than ever.

For someone with experience with RL guns, personally it doesn’t bother me at all lol. The fact they are putting effort into marketing the game with more story is cool imo. I think they are taking positive steps to draw players in. I get being a critic but like many others stated here this is the least of most players concerns. I’m just happy they are pushing content/ stories to get those curious about the game to play. It doesn’t have to be perfect as long as they are putting in the effort.

Then solution would be no videos, no advertising and not accepting anyone signing up for a couple of years

I vote they make a compilation video of all the ATHs and huge hofs etc. Write the $ usd amount plus the word “profit” next to it in bright bubble letter/numbers and sink every advertising dollar they can spare including all the money they stole from me thru the mining change into pumping it out far and wide thruout the world. We would see a boom in activity that would make covid activity seem like a joke and servers would be crashing left and right in beginning.

For those of you who say blah blah blah false advertising. I say to you man up. Either this game stays stagnant/dying for next 10 yrs or they make a bold move like that.

Also new bigger gambling bps wen?

Sounds like my two only YouTube videos I made in space mining but bigger and better :joy:

You have recordings? I’m up for this. Unfortunately don’t have more than images of my own loots

Ah I wish but unfortunately I haven’t hit over 2k in years ever since the post I made about the mine bots I don’t think MA liked that 1 lol… there’s some on YouTube tho like that ATH video that guy hit after 3 clicks or whatever. I’m sure MA gotta have some videos saved somehow. Hell use AI and make some fake videos of the real ATHs lol :laughing:. Them big hits are going to be what brings in the type of customers we actually need in game and not the ones that show long slow grinds that need 1 million kills to get correct RTP # boring type shit. I think 1 video they had mentioned something about profit or real money and every1 shit on them for it because it was not “realistic” or false advertising or whatever and unfortunately MA actually listened to them.

It will look like an isolation experiment involving living organisms within a biosphere.:smiley:

If I’ve ever seen an ad for a game, it’s always in an MMORPG-related information field. I have never seen an advertisement for our favorite game on the facades of the Tokyo or New York Stock Exchanges.

i havent seen it , but only thing i can say is : the more AI slob the less players willing to try the game.
