Those of you itching for a three-faction PvP MMO with a sci-fi twist will have to endure the discomfort a bit longer. Dominus has announced a slight delay in its beta testing program due to a new game engine that is currently in need of some tweaking.

"The content is basically fine. But the animations are borked, and the lighting is all off, and everything needs to be re-optimized," explains Pitchblack community manager Sanya Weathers on Dominus' official forums.

The bad news is that those players who were promised a spot in the December wave of beta invites are out of luck for the time being. The good news is that the spots aren't going anywhere, and you'll be able to do your part in Dominus' testing phase when new player acceptances resume after the new year.

[Update: We've corrected our erroneous references to Dominus' old title.]

I had a feeling they would delay it, the good news is that it appears they are trying to take advantage of the new Hero engine features released last month.

It's hard to stay energized about a game when all there is are words and company made video's.T'is the nature of mmo development though.

As an old DAoC fan, I can't help but be interested in the 3-faction PvP. I'll give it a go JUST because of that. My hopes aren't too high, but I'll keep an open mind all the same.

Yup I just read that they are now using the Hero Engine that SWTOR is using. It will be interesting to see where they go with this and what they can achieve.
