"Venture is primary." XD

"he's in structure" -"take him down" xD

[@ManicVelocity]

This is exactly the kind of thing I've missed from CCP's marketing. Silly, and slightly unconventional. It's good to bring our heads out of the "grimdark" trough every once in a while and come up for air.

[@ajfoyt2452]

And still no purchase of the ship models from the marketing. Only the Collector Box from years ago.

[@orioniic]

Escalating over a venture with Ravens. Sounds legit!

[@arenarsten3216]

Have you been to NS lately?

[@pr0vaporizer468]

if it was delve it would be titans

[@IllutianKade]

I think that would have been even funnier if they had dropped Titans on the field. xD

Don't you get it? The Venture has a cyno on it.

[@sly2218]

[@tibbs4gaming]

Best EVE Video since...years. Love that style. The whole unconventional idea. Will spread it (with one of my ref links of cource ;) )

[@ajfoyt2452]

Spread the word, more EVE veterans still looking to buy the ship models that you see in the background on the tables.

[@shanematthews1985]

Can confirm, this is accurate

[@aaronmit6584]

Then when your friends burn out you get all their stuff! :D

you forgot to add an info that you nerfed rewards for recruiting

[@lazynoob304]

Jokes on you. I don’t have any friends

[@nailboard6492]

well we play EVE, it's only natural to not have friends XD

[@MrLince-hr4of]

thats why i play eve

[@FrayHavoc]

A lot of this, if not all of it, was shot in and around CCP Headquarters in Reykjavik. I recognize it from my visit a few weeks ago.

[@jadeowenhamblyn4405]

CCP showing their true allegiances by showing a venture getting ganked.

[@CommanderM117]

poor venture

[@doom2ruler]

I'm forced to disagree. There was no CONCORD involvement, therefore they were in low-sec at the least. You leave high sec, you know the risks.

[@CommanderM117]

indeed don't fly what you cant afford to loss but i will say i agree with him on account of ccp favorite pirates over miners /carebears

[@nbaumg]

EvE takes way too much work to play for any of my friends to enjoy it. im unfortunately alone on this one :/

[@drmcgeebox1]

Not to mention the time to invest in capital ships only to lose them to griefers flying around in cheap ships.

[@Mic_Glow]

@@drmcgeebox1 there are no "griefers" in low/0.0 thou... and that's where you fly capitals. Not sure if there are any in eve in general- this isn't minecraft and the other guy isn't jealous of your castle, he wants a killmail. Also there needs to be destruction for industry/ mining to work.

awesome ! 10 Years playing ! And I hope my childs will take the lead in the next 10 years ! EVE FOR EVER !

[@Sheal4n]

Why i had to recruit if the game seems broken?

[@TheAdamDarvas]

Well, great add... Though the rewards are bit lacklustre.

[@greatspacegoat147]

Eve is absolutely amazing so glad its still alive im comming back to play your beautiful game😁😁😁😎

[@CloakyStargazer]

This is the most accurate depiction of the experience of playing EVE in all CCP marketing.

omg they killed a venture , so hardcore xD

They gotta start somewhere, right? ;)

[@isenhertor]

next is taking down an orca

Ill give you hardcore: taking out a criminal capsule in high sec in a battleship 😤😂😂

am i allow to use my own link for an alt that i plan to go omega with ?

[@ajfoyt2452]

All those ship models in the background on the tables are not for sale by the game company. Instead of selling them for the company to make money -- Instead you are seeing this ad begging you to get someone to join the game.

[@MichaelNichol]

This should be on the TV, need more commercials like this on the TV .... Ya Think .... get er done .... kewl vid

wish i had friends.....

[@OnSpotTV]

I would love to get more of my friends involved, they like the stories I tell them about our big fleet fights. Unfortunately when I call them up to see them live... they see clients crashing.... 10% tidi... frustration with modules... 30 mins of relogging..... Pls help....

[@MnemonicHack]

None of that really happens unless you're in supermassive brawls, and then it's sort of your fault. There's only so much CCP can do to keep the servers running. Try scaling it down a little bit, maybe go for 100+ man fights instead of 1000+ man fights, and you'll get better performance with just as much excitement. Actually, you'll get more excitement because you can actually play without starting the servers on fire.

[@TheGokki]

When i see gameplay all i see is a bunch of windows with lists and some squares and lines, i never see actual ships firing cannons because actual gameplay is just zoomed out as much as possible.

[@OnSpotTV]

That will never happen. It's been more than 7 years of 1000+ players fights and almost 0 improvement on stability and performance. Actually in the last period it started to get worse and worse in terms of performance. When you have a large number of players investing time and resources into defending or attacking objectives, what you are talking about is impossible, unless we all give up on playing and the servers will be empty which is exactly the opposite of what this movie is suggesting. We all love this game. We want to have fun and enjoy it AS it is advertised. I wish... really wish.... more effort is put into this issue.

[@MrPechNoe]

yeah right, a few years back nodes died with 2000 players duking it out. The server didn't die just got very slow with 6000 people around a Keepstar a few months back. I don't see what you are talking about. In other games your Instances are just limited to a number of players where you don't have that issue and people are alway on about how these don't have such problems... in eve you don't have that luxus so there has to be a compromise.

[@OnSpotTV]

Exactly, a few months ago the server didn't die with 6000+ players on it. Now a supernode crashes with ~3500 players on it.

[@davidkline1441]

my prob is i am a major recruiter for my alliance and they made the rewards not worth the time i spend recruiting any more, and less new players coming to the game, game play fixes i think are spot on for now

I was ready for some strange stuff, but this... was highly entertaining! But one minus point for not dropping Supers on four frigates... dude! Do you even PLAY this game!?!?! :D

[@R3dp055um]

I first played EVE in 2006, and I've only played actively for about 6 or 7 of those 18 years. But I keep coming back. I can't say why, but... Anyhow, the ad. I thought it was clever. All the comments I see are valid, calling primary on a Venture, that it's in structure, and especially the three Ravens. WTF are they even going to DO against Frigates? Maybe they have some medium Drones?

[@Velvex_Vancreed]

Melted my hard drive playing this game

[@kellycleveland]

lmao. Nc commercial. Finally its great to see EVE's Marketing team finally come out of the break room. lol. just kidding .. great job keep it up.

[@XDex91]

Did you see those ship models? Those were legit! Where do I get one that size? The Rifter was huge!

[@mrkyledescoudres1502]

The ending is true. If you attack a loner NPC venture (that belongs to some kind of "Expedition"), you are doomed. The venture has "friends" and they are likely much stronger than your friends (if any)

[@manuelsosa6651]

Prob, cyno venture?

[@TorrentTalon]

it's funny that the first clip is PVP, but the person doesn't have a target, but their ship looks fitted for PvP.

Remember your not the only one with friends. Who said I have any friends sure I got 2 but they don´t evenn like eve what so ever so I play alone and that friend referral code is useless to me.

[@Cynosarus-Rex]

Alright, someone needs to remake this but when he goes to jump the gate get traffic controlled and sit there for 1 hour before it continues, then when he gets his friends and they shoot the venture, socket closed.

[@jorgey4]

Tidi only occurs with thousands of people in space at one time. Jim's small gang, and the venture's half? A drop in the bucket even if those ravens had a handful of other ships on their way.

[@pedrocenteio4822]

Loved it. But I gotta say this: Ganking miners? Really? Loved it even more when those Ravens arrived :)

[@zEver-bLack]

Are you kidding? Jim had no paste in his ancillary repper, had 2 ungrouped guns and for some reason had fitted a fricking Cloaking Device on a Rifter...
