Read up on the game. You can find gatespots in Dungeons that will make large distances way closer. There is even runes which will be rare but they will exist that will work as a teleportation. And large world map will to me mainly mean, alot to explore which i think is fun. And it might also work as a protector for the solo players, the PvE-oriented ones since there just is such a vast world.

I made a little experiment, god i have no life.=) I entered my Ultima freeshard and walked felucca from north to south and it took me 25 minutes. Darkfall will take 8 hours which make Darkfall map at least 16x16 times bigger, that is 256 times bigger then felucca world map in Ultima. Thats huge.=)

That is all anyone can do for the past 6 years, "read up on the game."

 

Like I said they will have a system like shadowbane with portals. As to dungeons please show me anything that indicates dungeons other then game descriptions on promises from Devs. You have no clue if this is still in the game.

As to potential protection for solo play, IF they stick to their statements there are already better systems in place to protect solo players. Making a huge empty land mass does not ensure protection to PvE players.

Also Tasos talked about filling the ENTIRE land mass with interesting things and not just have empty space. The time it would take and work to locate glitches would put this game another 10 years out. It goes far beyond plausible and that was my point. Tasos is talking a big game drumming up the fanboys and dangling the carrot for those losing hope.

To the person who talked about going long distances and losing your house. The Devs have already said it does not work that way. Your house would be part of a bigger town and would come under the protection of a runestone. Again they took this directly from shadowbane. While the details are not specifically known, your town cannot I repeat CANNOT be destroyed at any given point. A date and time has to be set by placing a bane stone of some kind. Again the details are vague but it appears to work very similar to Shadowbane.

Also if going hours away from home would gets your house destroyed, then you would never have a house to come back to when you logged off.

It will take weeks to destroy a whole clancity. 1 house per/day was the last call for this. And where they is on filling the world with content is anybodies guess. You have no clue nor do i. They might just be finished with it! If we believe the devs the game is just about finished by now. Theyre polishing it and QA-testing it.

To be honest i dont care why anyone gets worked up over this....... Darkfall is Vapor ware any ways.. its fallowing the exact same path as  Duke nukem forever... and you cant say it isnt cause were is any tangible evidence saying other wise?????

A staff of 30-40 developers working fulltime on game isnt vaporware. Seeable and readable improvements make it a game under development. If im right with the name vaporware is that its a game that was announced early and is still in development, so on that i agree with you. Correct me is i was wrong concerning vaporware description.=)

As far as I am concerned I would like to see facts about this game not coming out in the future, because there are facts about it moving along in development and even game play videos (not just the environment). I guess it is easy for people to be pessimistic... no... wait... I'm not! Have any of you even tried developing a game or even made a working program and not some cookie cutter application that made it for you? All you people who are so negative are just trolls in the forums, bashing games because you have no real life to look forward to. When you can present facts then will talk, till then shut up!

For the same reason fanbois do. We have an opinion, and we are allowed to express it. It's your choice to read/respond or not.

Its funny reading trough the soon to be 100 replies on that editorial.

http://www.warcry.com/forums/read/118.56774?page=1

Just about 100% of the repliers want his head on a silver plate. So what he achieved with that article isnt what he intended. Its more publicity to Darkfall and alot of hate towards Funcom and Age of Conan. Talk about epic failure.=)

I'm not a huge fan of Tasos, but nor am I of Funcom.  I am, however, a huge fan of the truth.

All that matters in any of this, are the actual games.  We will soon see the fate of AoC.  And maybe someday, we'll even see the fate of Darkfall.

But arguing about which is better, when in truth neither actually "exists" yet (from the player point of view), is an absolutely pointless waste of time.

But then again, so is American Idol, but millions still watch that every week so...

My final word on the subject, from a Darkfall perspective is this,

If (Darkfall = great), then Tasos is God and all is forgiven.

If (Darkfall = vaporware), then Tasos will never work in the industry again, and he will spend the remainder of his days being rick-rolled by the Darkfall community (or possibly being actually rolled, if they ever find him.)

isnt that the truth if taso is lieing aventurine will probly be burned down

  I thought it was funny that someone actually used the term "Rick-Rolled" in a sentence.

  Of course...if he IS lying, Adventurine doesn't really exist anyway.  Corporations, such as they are, only really ever exist on paper and in relevancy anyway.  The "building" that these "fans" have gone to in order to see the game could easily have been some apartment...or even a warehouse that was rented for the weekend.  It takes very little to doctor them up to have desks.

  For him to be THAT evil...why....he's probably eating babies for sustenance and smoking purified demon blood through a nuns hollowed out, dismembered, finger.

The truth of the matter is that Adventurine does not really exist and is not developing any game whatsoever.

Aventurine on the other hand does exist and is creating a game that should hopefully move the stagnant mmorpg scene beyond the current cookie-cutter rut.

Please people, remember that "Aventurine" is a mineral and not a play on the word "Adventure" 

Sorry, just sick of reading that misspelling a dozen times a day on these forums

I guess AoC was just about titties anyways.

This editorial is bullshit. Period.

It's dying anyway. The combination of Darkfall, Warhammer and WotLK should put it out of its long suffering misery.

Yup, looks like darkfall will be the winner in this case. AoC has failed as only such an unfinished piece of shit can do. Beats me how they could take so long and spend so much to produce something thats is basicaly just GFX, even if they are nice ones.

He who laughs last laughs longest.
