Comment on New Trailer (Science System and Epic Raids)

I had no idea where to place this, but this forum seems like the best place....
I just checked the new trailer. Althought the graphics seem nice, the video is going through all the content so fast I barely had time to actually SEE anything. Before I knew what I saw the page was turned and there was talk about something else. Perhaps next time the video could be at a slower pace so that you can actually see what it's all about?
Perhaps it's just me, perhaps it's because I'm not entirely awake yet, but it was way too fast for my liking.

My first impressions from the video:
- There's something about the geologists, no idea what though.
- New adventures? With bosses or something like that?
- Anything else? It didn't register with me.

Sorry that it's negative feedback, but I thought I'd better share it anyway....

Not sure what you mean it's pretty simple to follow along. Try the test server out and you'll see what they're talking about. Some of the stuff is for higher level players so it might not pertain to you

What I meant to say is that it's going so fast I hardly had the time to actually read/see something in the video before the next thing was shown to/thrown at me. It maybe simple to follow when you've been playing for a while and when you try out the test server, but for people who haven't played the game (and seen the end of the video I assume that's who's targetted with this video too) it's hard to grasp.
Shouldn't the video entice you to play the game? Shouldn't it show what these new features are about instead of giving a very quick glimpse before moving on? A glimpse which I wouldn't even call a glimpse at first to be honest.

I've watched the video again and now that I know what to pay attention to, I guess It's less ... quick, but still....
If it's only meant for current players, perhaps it's an okay video.
If it's also meant to entice new players, which I assume from the end of the video ("play it here", twitter link, facebook link, etc), I don't know if it will reach it's goal.

And although I might not be a high level player yet, I do think lower leveled players should have something to look forward to, so I disagree with you that it might not be something for me yet. Of course it's also something lower leveled players. This way they know what they can look forward to in the future.

All this is on test server. :-)

Nope i watched it again and it still isn't hard to follow. I belive it is more for ppl already playing the game and not an ad for it.

I don't understand

ya i saw it and wasn't impressed.

Nothing wrong about it, but it's not exactly "awesome". (i would not recommend it to a friend)

Not sure if by I don't understand you meant what are they all talking about or that you didn't understand what the video was mentioning. Just in case it's the first, here's a link to the video in question.

It was like those ads where the fine print is read really quick and no one understands. The graphics and the music are cool though, lol.

huh?

It seems that the trailer that was on the home page went too fast for the person that started this thread. Guess they wanted a sing-a-long ad instead of the short to the point traier that was posted. Maybe they just don't understand what a trailer is?

I know perfectly well what a trailer is. And there's absolutely no need to be so.... insulting or is it patronizing? I'm guessing a bit of both. Perhaps you think it because I've just joined this forum, but I've been playing games for years and I've seen my share of trailers (movies, books AND video games), so I DO know what a trailer is.
I don't need a sing-a-long, but a few seconds more to actually see what was shown would have been nice. Like I stated earlier, perhaps I was under the wrong impression due to the end of the trailer. The end suggested to me the trailer was also meant for people who had never played Settlers Online before. And like I said earlier, if you want people to keep on playing and like the science part and adventures, a little more insight into those two sections of the video instead of a little flash would have been more.... interesting.
Oh, I know, my level isn't high yet (lvl 24) so I've only just started the science part and haven't gotten to the adventures part yet (two more levels to go for that), but it's NOT this video that's got me looking forward to those things. It's what friends and guildmates told me about both things. The video was just.... not doing it for me. But hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

Not everybody wants to play the test server just to know whats going on. The layout of your island sucks and I have no desire to try and fix it. They have a group of long term players and those are what the devs would listen to anyhow. I prefer to get the news from other sources.

I didn't find the video all that informative but it didn't seem to go to fast to follow along. Maybe my internet speed is worse then the OP :)
