It is only my opinion from recent experience, but Exordium feels wrong. People ask why I feel the region is unfinished. It feels like a big empty with career agents copy pasted into it. No regard any details such as those blank thumbnails. How long should it take to crop in a thumbnail, oh wait, they have to do 40 thumbnails, I am sure that would require at least 4 to 5 employees at several hours of hard labor.
Another issue is the lack of PVP. I am not saying they need to have the vets in there gate camping, but no consensual duels? This means new player Joe Common views one of the awesome adverts on YouTube with all ships doing battle. Jumps on and downloads the game, immediately introduced to the tutorial, NPC combat, and won’t do PVP at all, until they leave Exordium. That would be like joining the army, bootcamp with wooden rifles and foam knives. How many can relate to that analogy? I bet everyone in my squad would get a perfect score at the rifle range.
I don’t see how this new region will be holding much attention. I thought it was suppose to be different, showing rookies the game without gankers interfering. It fails to show them much of the game at all. This isn’t easing a baby into a hot bath, it is more like sprinkling cold water on them. It is a quick turn off.
