So, it seems that on many fronts - despite increased lag, Titans soloing everything, and random stuff that happens in the wake of expansions, Dominion may actually be a success in the increased fights and such it has spawned.
This is only the opinion of one guy in an NC corp, but from all ive read everywhere i have sene it posted, the majority agree with him:
I am currently in JC-YX8 and local is standing near 770 strong right now. Our fleet consists something like maybe 150. I'm not certain how many reinforcements are coming, but if this is all, then I suspect I will be in my clone sooner than I thought. I guess this is the thing I've been missing out on so much. It's one of the things Eve is known for. Some grand skirmish that decides the experiences of thousands of people.
Local is doing its normal thing. Lots of smack on both sides and everyone playing the waiting game. I must admit to a looming feeling of trepidation in my stomach. We are committed no matter what. I am committed no matter the outcome. I have lots of thoughts right now. Things like:
Are these fights just for fights?
Is some alliance leaders pride and honor on the line?
What happens when the dust settles?
I found it significant that even including alts, there may be 700 people all around the world who are all waiting like I am. It's a feeling of awe and genuine fascination for a game I have been playing for over a year now. All this time and just now I am doing this.
Not sure what is to come of all of this, but I would like to say thank you to CCP for giving me an experience that I have never had in a game before. Also thanks to all the people in local and the people who help comprise this great game. No matter the outcome I will be grateful for my first time. You only get one first time. Let's make it count.
I am hoping that as MAADi gets more involved in eve life once again, we get to actually get into BS fights and enjoy them as much as this guy is now
