The folks over at Darkfall have released a new internal Q&A where the developers answer some of the fans' questions.

Here’s the QA…we worked with lists sent to us by community members and tried to answer as many as possible without too much embellishing. There was an effort to answer question categories that weren’t addressed in the previous Q&A’s. We didn’t address the questions having to do with beta and publishing due to recent developments, we would like more time before we get into that.

Do different weapon types damage them (mobs) easier, like a spear, mace, etc.?

Different monsters are vulnerable to different types of attack. In some cases they could be nearly immune to certain attacks like a fire elemental may not take fire damage. This applies to various armors and protections as well, the varying degrees in which they could protect the player against specific types of damage. There’s a whole system in place behind this, and players will learn from experience and through various information sources within the game.

Read it all here.

Cheers,

God, it all sounds so good. I hope that it does come to be sometime, while I highly doubt their claim of this year.

All you have to do is look at their feature list to realize it is strictly a wish list.  The small staff they have will have a hard time even getting half of those features in at release.

I have to laugh, they talk as if mounts and boats will be in the game at release.  Just like I pointed out above, with a small staff things like that will be for a later release at best.

Vaporware at it's best!

Some of the answers bug me. For instance Pocket Ponies for mounts?

When I first learnt about Darkfall, it seemed very sandbox-oriented. But the more I know about, the less sandbox it appears to be.

If it is vaporware they really go through lots of troubles answering questions.

So let us hope they manage to sort of launch in the next years with hopefully most features.

Oh no, you don't get to use the "next year" card.  They promised to release in 2008 and we're holding them to that promise.

Sounds good from the QA..but ...can they deliver?
