Both made by small dev. teams. Both promised a revolutionary pvp game. Both had long delays.

But the fanbois said the big difference was that Darkfall would never take pre-orders to get into beta. Well now they are taking pre-orders. Now the two game are exactly the same.

 

 

Wow could you make a bigger assumption?  Are you just trying to take any credibility you have and throw it under a bus?


 

The fanbois have been screaming for years that there will be no preorders for this game, and that everyone will get to try it for free.

Now there will be preorders, and everyone won't get to try it for free. . Those are facts, not assumptions.

 

 

So if a game takes pre-orders it's like DnL?

and send them to the Special Olympus.

No, But if the beta leaks say that most of the features aren't in the game or turned on yet. And there have been no credible reviews of the game yet, And they won't let you try the game before you buy it, even though for the last few years they said they would let you try it first, then yes, it is like D&L.

I am actually leaning towards one of my other assumptions from an earlier thread made in jest, that when all is said and done, there MIGHT be a real beta for subscribers (Tasos calls it release for preorders, I call it the long awaited closed beta) where there will be real subscriptions taking place while under an NDA. I could be wrong, but based on Tasos own comments, it is seeming more like this will be the situation...

Better at doing whatever it is Wolverine does.

just curiously..

didn't Dark and Light have some sort of  early access pre-order deal called Settlers of Ganareth? or am I thinking of something else.

it wasn't classified as a "Open Beta", but it wasn't a "release" either. it was specifically called a "Trial" or something like that..

anyone know what I'm talking about?

Don''t pay Retail for Beta!

I'm really hoping this game comes out and does well but I don't see it comming out for some time.

First there is not specs. This is usually determined by now this late in development...

They don't have any real marketing or even any real interviews going on.. like with this site.

They are not responding to questions on their forums at all with any relative information

They don't have any GM's in training or in place

No subscription processor in place. (hint: if the Credit card processor is not in the US, chances are your bank may put a freeze on your Dept or Credit card)

Fuck it.. I could go on and on but instead I'll just sit back and laugh my ass off for all the poor fools that are dumb enough to shell out money for a pre order.  Pre order with the very very limited information given by the developers= we don't have enough money to finish.

Like I said I'll just sit back and laugh at the fanbois as usual like I have for the last 4 big tittles

Hah, best sig ever!!!

 

Watching this boat sink and all the fanbois sticking to it is pretty funny imo. My only regret is they just postponed the show :(

The rules of Debate are really simple; once you have to stoop to insults instead of facts, logic, or reason to try and win your argument, you've lost.

Agree
No more VG/DnL/AOC it's enough

No payment for beta or alpha.

Imo this game is gonna be worst than AOC. 

Throw VG in the garbage  1 day ago , bought it 1 year ago couldn't play . Full of bugs, an ALPHA 2 years after the release... (Thx to the VANBOYS who told me these game was awesome .  Theyre always saying the same things at this moment )

 

I'm not going to trust Darkfallboys now. 

No more Vanguard

No more Dark and Light

No more AOC

Thanks man. Once again I'll state (just like I have for the last 4 that have failed...) I hope the game does well but I pretty sure It'll sink just like the rest. Hell if it wasn't for the Feds, I would come up with a vaporware MMO and sucker er.. I mean get people to pre order it.

You are absolutely correct.

We talked about it forever over on the DnL forum.

If any one is really interested to see the parallels between these 2 pieces of software it is all laid out over there in the discussions about DnL, and if they spent a small amount of time researching what happened, they would see the same sequence of events happening all over again.

No matter how often people claim otherwise, neither AoC nor WAR had a paid beta. If you fell for the usual fileplanet routine of giving out keys to subscribers a couple days earlier than registered users, you've got noone but yourself to blame.

Actually, I can't comment on AoC's open beta, but I certainly played WAR's, and I am greatful to them for allowing me to do so, the only thing I lost was bandwidth. I didn't like the game, but I certainly didn't flame it. They gave me a chance to decide whether I wanted to play it long term or not, and I decided not.

 

No, he said there would be an Open Beta before Launch. Which he just announced has been delayed so they could fit Open Beta.  The pre-order is only available 3 weeks after Open Beta starts, long after we will have heard all about DF and argued in a billion directions about it. All of the people pretending we won't get to actually try DF before pre-orders begin is putting on a farce for the sake of flaming/drama.

No offense. There is not enough time between now and their launch date to achieve a open beta three weeks before pre-orders, and then at the same time have pre-orders offered at the time they stated before launch.

Aventurine has been promising the sky for a long F$^#ing time now.  Not only this but every interview they've done has held the confidence of an info-mercial.  Honestly, this entire situation screams the word scam.  These guys have proven absolutely nothing past the fact that they lie and are vastly overconfident.

We've been promised a trial before purchase, I expect one.  Anything less from a company as poorly thought-out as this, would likely mean wasted money.

 

Hey Now! Leave the Browns out of this....

Nevermind, bring them in...they suck...

Metcalf up the middle, Metcalf up the middle, Vardell to the right...PUNT...Those were good days.
