Personally, I hope they aren't that much better, as we don't want lag. But for the graphics whores on this forum, there you go. And for the vaportrolls who are still hanging around, the kicker comes in the second part of the update. Aventurine SA is co-hosting the Athens ESWC.(Electronic Sports World Cup) There's going to be a Darkfall event there, as well as some WC3/ Quake tourneys. Read more about it here: http://www.eswc.com/document/30.html GG no re, Vaportrolls. ------------------------------------------ Darkfall wins. Vaportrolls lose.

The trolls will stil find something to attack, whether it be the gameplay, community or who knows what. They have definitely thinned out around here though.

Will be a great opportunity for them to show off their game. We're getting closer! I'm sorry but the graphics are more than enough for me, anyone that thinks they are not clean and crisp is just looking to be a dick. Lets see who the first dick to post in this thread will be.....

With all the magnificent features of this game, I really can't wait for its release. For a long time, I thought the concept that Darkfall is going to run was kind of a 'dream' concept for an MMO that no one would ever make, but ever since I've heard of this game, I've been sold on it. Let's go Darkfall!

originalegg Novice Member Joined: 10/09/06 Posts: 1151 Darkfall Releases - February 25th!!! Vaporware trolls = scum	9/13/08 11:25:13 AM#8 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) A very pleasant surprise to see the update on Saturday. They are obviously working hard and puting in those extra hours that all devs do when they are close to release. Yes the screen are awsome and unfortunatly this explanation wont silence the trolls that just wont stay away, but no one really takes them seriously anyways. Even if the graphics in the video were the best they can be (they arent) I would still think they are more than fine for what this game plans to offer. Darkfall IS comming people, hopefully after this event we will see the end to all trolling and the depressed skeptics can join those of us with a little faith and common sense in enjoying this game! Hopefully the next update has beta info in it, though I have a funny feeling we wont hear anything about beta until they have their first wave of testers picked and we'll see an announcement saying that they sent out invites and beta will start on xx/xx/2008. Also if you are anywhere near Athens, do yourself a favor and try to go to this thing if it will mean you can see the game in action. ---sig--- Click this for lulz: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/173737/page/6

I'm more interested in the release details though. It's not going to make much difference how good it is if we can't get the game.

Since Aventurine was so busy with ESWC, it caused a delay in the launch of DFO. Read it here first folks.... I don't understand why they'd get wrapped up in something that huge when October is suppose to be the huge beta launch month. I don't understand how they feel they need to be distracted during beta launch month. Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

Remember, Tasos assured us that without a doubt, DFO will launch this year. December 31 is rapidly approaching.

They did well, I'm glad the game's turning out to be more than just trash. But yeah, I'm still iffy with the video, I just wish more UI was shown. Past that, as long as the beta shows up and plays well, I could give a shit less. I'm really glad it all came out well, so far. EDIT Me lucky stars be gone!

I'm saying they should stick to DFO and not get side tracked with the Game Conference. They don't need any excuse or distractions. They are good at coming up with their own. Do you honestly think if they get side tracked launch will happen this year?

I think its fantastic that they are gonna show it at ESWC as i think that playerbase is a great market for DF. The new screens look really nice and its good to know how much the game can scale graphics wise. Having the game run good on a myriad of systems is key to DF's success and Adventurine has wisely shown they are aware of that. Overall an awsome update and hopefully we see a lot of fan coverage from Greece.
