who will win

Darkfall wont win thats for sure.

 

Darkfall will win on its turf since neither WAR nor WoW compete there. =)

Hardcore PvP players will flock for a chance playing Darkfall.

Have a nice day

 

releasing in 2008, they haven't even beta'd the game yet. i smell dark and light all over again. At least the hardcore pvp'ers will stop whining now since they have their messiah. I cannot wait to come back here when this game fails and laugh at you, because it will fail bad.

edit: calling yourself a hardcore pvp'er makes you sound like a douche.

Now dont be sad cause i was right and you were wrong. =)

It can happen to anyone.

Game looks just amazing and the graphics many complains over is nothing but troll propaganda. Who in their right mind could expect a game where you can have a 200 vs 200 epic battle with 60 fps to be Age of Conan hi polygon graphics? =)

Gameplay owns graphics any day and Darkfall seems to have just that, amazing gameplay.

Have a nice day

I just saw this video and let me tell you something...

I was impressed. No, really, i enjoyed watching the video and the game looked fun to play.

Graphics were fine (though in some scenes the characters seemed to "float" when they ran downhill) but oveall, it was the gameplay that impressed me.

Ship combat, mounted combat, (not a lot of magic combat though, more melee and archers) and in general, just lots of great combat.

And the scenery was great too.... ice, deserts, islands, fantastic lands.

If this game is for real, I'll be playing it.

nuff said.

lol funny post op, i played Ac/DT from 97 to 2004, together with the devs of DF btw. Was a nice game, even when i played it last in 2004 it was still nice.

But ok, it cant even start comparing with DF, heh, after i saw the vid today im sure..

I even considered subscribing again now for patch 100 but after this vid, no way, lol last 7 years it has just been carebears roaming on DT.

I used to like AC, it was once a great game.  Its subpar by todays standards but I will say that it probably is still a much better game than what I have been able to take from this new DF video.

I am enjoying WAR a lot.  WAR and DF will make a great MMO year.  I think DF and WAR are niches games in their own.

DF and it's hardcore PvP (FFAPvP Full Looting).  WAR and it's RvR implementation of PvP.

I think they wont attract the masses but they maybe successful in the sense of having a big community.

I do think the number guy (1213213432 or whatever) is correct in the other of the games, if we only consider subs as who "wins".

But lets remember this is not a match.  I could care less who has more subs.  These are games and I will be extremely happy to have these two games to play.  They both should give me a lot of fun.  After all we play for the fun, dont we? :)

As long as DF and WAR get enough player base to keep going (economically), I will be happy.

EDIT: AoC started the year very bad for MMOs... but can 2008 end up as one great year?!  :)

you obviously cream your pants pre-maturely..that video stank..it was obviously a staged video and it still looked crap.

It obviously was staged? Kinda like how df was obviously vaproware and had nothing to show for it?

This is a very good reply and i agree to the fullest with you. =)

DF nor WAR will be any WoW killing games. I doubt we will see any MMORPG game in the close future that will be even close to WoW subs.

Hopefully we can all play the MMORPG games we like though and the Devs can get enough money too keep going and evolve the games.

Have a nice one

Wow great replies! Hope we all find our niche... Moderation.. I almost forgot what it sounded like

This.

Ronan is new to the troll game from what i see.  give him time, he will get better.

Anyways...what was shaping up to be a terrible year for the MMO genre looks like it will have an amazing ending with DF and WAR.  Even TCoS has a developer now and last i checked was still slated for q3 2008, so probably q4. 

Congrats on retaking this forum fans...cya in game (hopefully in beta!!!)

You and your fanboy buddies need to riot and demand developer podcasts that show what they're working on, that show all the things they promised, and that show...well, a game, not just movie-type fighting. THAT will convince 99% of the people who didn't like this trailer (including me). Then we can more accurately judge if we'll like the game or not...if they deliver things smoothly/completely.

The Developers of WAR will not be happy , these froumns are going to get worse as all the paid troll start to roll in. Time to go somewhere to talk about the game this place is not the plac3e to be anymore :)

I'll ask you the same question as I ask every ill-informed  conspiracy theorist: Who is paying the "paid troll"? What company is willing to jeopardize it's public trading standing and face millions of dollars in SEC fines to engage in this activity. Just give me one name. Heck, don't give it to me... Give it to the Securities and Exchange Commission. If you're going to make such ludricous claims, at least offer 1 tiny bit of concrete evidence. No? Didn't think so. What's really disturbing is that you think people need to be paid to offer criticism.

Actually, I was volunteering on Darkfall's staff ages ago (i've long since quit) and I can tell you for a fact that paid employees of competitors do troll the forum.  One of the moderators even caught a FunCom employee posting from work (Oops, forgot to hide that IP) and FunCom later publicly apologized for it on their forums.  He certainly wasn't the only or the last competitor to do so.

So there's your concrete evidence.

First i though he was sarcastic or something, but 70% of the OPs post is about how good AC is.

DF fans, I saw all 6 videos launched today on YouTube in high quality.. still downloading the torrent video....

But if this seriously makes you excited and drool... then I hate to say this... but there is already a game that looks as good or better, with probably 10 times the content out. Full PvP, looting, skills, great crafting and loot, etc.

I will admit that I didn't think the video would come out today. Figured it would be a couple more weeks. However, as I suspected they didn't show nearly as much single player 3rd person perspective game play as I would have hoped for. I understand why they showed it the way that they did. Makes it look more exciting and dramatic to show it in the fashion that they did.

I will almost guarantee you fans though that a 9 year old PvP game that exists right now is better, smoother, and already out. Simply log onto the Darktide server of Asheron's Call right now and get just as good of graphics with TONS of content, smooth gameplay, tons of skills you can completely vary your avatar with and change individually with use and experience earned. Sure, there isn't a lot of players now, but in two months after Darkfall launches, when it launches, there will probably not be many players there either.. if it lasts that long. If it launches and cannot support all the players or is very bug ridden, then most of the people who try it will eventually get frustrated and leave. And there may not be as many players buying this game as you think.

I can say after watching these videos that I am extremely confident that Asherons Call is a better game, with just as good of graphics as Darkfall will ever be. And it is going to be going on its 10th year in November people.

I will admit that I was wrong about Darkfall not launching soon. I admit that I now think it has a good chance of launching within the next six months or so. I certainly have concerns which I think are legitimate that it will have many bugs, lag, and other problems that may be very slow for such a small team to fix when it does launch however. And that alone could be the death of Darkfall. Time will tell.

I'm being serious guys and gals. If you are truly excited about this game, all of you log into the Darktide server of Asherons call and fight each other and run around and kill mobs and do quests. The quests in AC actually are MUCH deeper then the WoW type quests as well, they actually have tons of lore and purpose to them, and most are intelligently done. The PvP is some of the most fun PvP ever cone in an mmo imo, maybe only giving Dark Age of Camelot credit for more fun PvP. Death has tough consequences in Asherons Call. Items drop on your corpse, yes even items that are equipped can be lost, and the higher your level, the higher the item loss suffered, forcing you to always carry "death items" as insurance that you don't drop your most prized equipment should you die!

I suggest you play or try Asherons Call until this game releases and see what you think. There is a 14 day free trial that you can play NOW!

14 day free trial of Asherons Call

Atleast try it if you have never tried good ol' AC and if you are truly excited about Darkfall. And then in the scenario where Darkfall fails to launch for a few months and/or fails to run as smoothly as you would hope it will, you'll atleast have a solid 9 year old PvP game with tons of content that has been added monthly to fall back on.

Granted AC doesn't have the ship combat, but I betcha AC has tons of good stuff that Darfall will fall short of as well.

Whatever you do, enjoy what you play.

Yes I will try Darkfall when it's available. But I bet you anything right now that it's player based review on this website and many other websites will not be nearly as good as the reviews and scores that already exist for this old school mmo that I firmly believe is one of the best PvP mmos ever made. Trust me when I say it deserves atleast a chance from everyone who loves PvP in their online gaming.

Take care. And have fun with whatever you choose to play.

If DF is what they claim to be. Perma-death, everything is player made. FFA pvp. You are going to have griefers, exploiters, the economy is going to go no where, and it will fall to the way side just like Fury.

There is no perma death in Darkfall, even the most hardcore PVP fans would probably agree thats taking it a bit too far.  Life as a griefer won't be as easy as you think it is.  Eve has a similar ruleset and it has best economy of any game.

Yea definitely no perma death.  Was never even hinted at won't be happening.

Griefers will find themselves outcasted and/or can be dealt with through pvp, while in past games they could hide behind game mechanics.

Exploiters...what game doesnt have them?
