The only people who come here are people who like to endlessly rant over non-sense. To belittle others over the same bs again, and again. The game itself is no longer relevent. Only if you are a touted fanboy, or attention seeking troll is the only worthy topic it seems.

So you have three choices. Look for useful information elsewhere. Sit back with popcorn and laugh at the idiocy of these forums. Or both.

 

Or you could troll the people that come to these forums.


 

Tell me what I said is untrue. Point me to some interesting conversation in these forums regarding how this game will play. That has not already diverted into a battle between this game is gonna flop vs this game is "teh win"

You misunderstood what I meant, I was saying you could jump in the troll fest of this website and just troll the people saying the game is vaporware/gonna be bad, so technically there's four things you can do.

 

Your post was correct though, you just misunderstood what I said.

Hehe, I made this entire thread because my confidence in DF is ridiculous.

All this time and effort invested in speculation by some of you, and 90% of it right.

3 cheers to the mmorpg.com community! They are the best!

Fixed that for you.

Haha saying 90% of what these forum trolls have spewed is correct is hilarious.  More like 5% up until a few weeks ago, and then when it turned out not to be vapor they had to come up with a whole new list of negatives most of which are out of date and are being adressed, and now maybe they are right about 15-20% of their complaints which are 90% opinion and preference, and of that 75% is based on horribly decompressed and crappy videos.

Then 99% of all statistics are made up so what do you have...  A ridiculous forum.  Let's all go hug someone we love and eat pie.

Yep, yep. Everything everybody says that doesn't put Darkfall or Tasos in the best of lights is a troll and just making up stuff right?
Like my posts about Tasos and his statements over the years with links to his own words about the state of the game... I just made all of that up and put up phony websites with stuff Tasos never actually said I suppose.

The reasons these forums are 'absolutely ridiculous' is simply because of blind fanboyism like what we see demonstrated in this specific post by Mr ProfRed here.

PS.  This is in no way a defense of Tasos.  Tasos speaks bull quite often, but his faults don't correlate with Darkfalls.  Tasos isn't a unique character either.  We have seem him in other companies as well, throughout MMORPG history.

 


 

Ya Ya... move along, FANBOIS.  We heard the same arguments about Vanguard, POTBS, Fury, Hellgate:London, Tabla Rasa, AoC, Warhammer... on and on you fanbois bring the hype only for us to watch you disappear into nothingness when your game disappoints the masses.  Most of us here that you like to call trolls are realist.  We are just waiting for you to wake up and smell the coffee.  Supposed that time will come around the 25th.  We'll have to see....

And oh... please, the Tasos you speak of in other companies in MMORPG history, please... bless us with your wisdom because of the smartest of your very own fanbois have failed to prove to us just one title where Tasos is actually credited with working on.

 

 

are you a fan of anything? you dont play mmo's... you just bitch.

This is the typical DF fan response to legitimate concerns, complaints, doubts, and any skepticism from anyone.

- They hardly ever actually combat the doubts with answers.

- They never want to provide links or sources of what they want to show as proof of Darkfalls greatness, unless ofcourse that proof is from their mighty Tasos himself.

- They DO attack any skepticism with personal attacks and aggressiveness.

- They DO bitch about the doubters, not the doubts, but the doubters as if people don't have a right to be skeptical.

- They DO think that somehow them desiring a PvP full loot game means they are superior to anyone who has even legitimate concerns or doubts. What they fail to understand that having and showing concerns might actually mean that person cares MORE then they do about said feature or game play mechanic.

And what's even more hilarious is that somehow about 95% of all the Darkfall fans here try and spout clues that they are in or have seen with their own eyes live beta of Darkfall. And THIS is another big load of crap. I'm betting not even 1 in 10 of these supposed fans that try and make it seem like they are beta now and "Darkfall is teh sh!t" are almost as full as crap as their beloved hero, Tasos.

Oh yes, and according to most of them, anyone who does have any concerns, doubts, cares, or skepticism, no matter how legitimate it might be, needs to "go back to WoW'. ROTF. Like any real WoW fanatics would even give a damn about a game like Darkfall in the first place, lol.

Lol, you're still waisting your time.

And not simply because it's 'lost on us,' even though I guess it is.

This forum has progressed from (to quote the great Floyd)

"Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round."

to 

"With, without.
And who'll deny its what the fightings all about?"

 

That last one pertains especially to me, muahaha

lol,  I think this is a crack in your crystal ball.

 

Although WAR  was bit bland for my taste it has been reported to have a population over 300,000.  Plenty of subscribers to keep the game making money.

AoC is guesstimated to have around 100,000 but it is tough to get numbers , Funcom is still spending money on a new Russian launch and they did add two new fresh start servers after the merges last month.

The funny thing about games nowadays is that they nearly recoup the production costs ( $ 30 million ) in just the initial box sales and preorders alone.   Even if the game is crap, 500,000 box sales is a huge amount of money. 

Your prediction seems a bit lacking ...

Lets look at sub 100,000 subscriber MMOs that have been going strong for years and will probably be around long after 2010 :

Asheron's Call,  estimated 45,000 subs still around after almost 10 years !

Dark Age of Camelot, estimated 90,000 subscribers and still around after 8 years.

Everquest 1, Everquest2, Vanguard, UO, etc...

Im very skeptical. Aventurine has a piss poor track record of releasing anything. Theyve never put out a game and this game has been in limbo for nearly a decade.

It may come out but honestly I think when it does the DF fanbois are gonna see how small the ffa pvp full loot sandbox crowd really is. For your sake I hope theres enough of you to keep df limping along

These forums are absolutely ridiculous

I agree with you, but Most forums are rediculas, because most people go onto forums to discuss or flame there opinions about somthing they have a problem with or do not like, and sometimes people dont like to hear anything bad about the games they like. I think if people could be more open minded and less ignorant and share their opinions like adults and try to see each others veiw, Maybe these forums wouldnt be so rediculas to you, but we all know that will never happin.

Proof that alot of people on MMORPG are ignorant.

 The problem with all the trolls and nay-sayers is that they don't release just how great DF could be.  EVEN if it fails to deliver on everything promised, it will still be 10x better than WoW, WAR, and rest, including the not yet even released, Aion.

The reason why DF has hardcore fanbois who turn a blind eye to some minor faults Av has exhibited is because the potential of the game greatly outways its current faults, i.e. poor customer service and communication, graphics and animations.

1. The original poster is in the Beta of Darkfall.

2. The original poster is posting about that which he knows naught, the very thing the he complains others are doing.

 

Well your point is made. It should also be made for the people all saying a game will fail befor anyone has played it live..
