Wrong.

* No penalties or bonuses on weapon styles so everyone will use the polearm - why wouldn't they?

Wrong.

Wrong.

Not that I give a rat's hindquarters either way but just because you say 'Wrong' doesn't make it wrong. Someone else saying 'It is' without proof doesn't make it right either. Some of the things listed are purely opinion either way. In the example of 'Poor Community' I was part of that community and sure enough there were some nice folks but there were also a whole RAFT of elitist pr1cks, more of the latter IMO.
 

Give more than one word answers. More people might pay attention. If the game is that important to you(either way), it's your job to find a way to explain WITHOUT personal opinion as to why it is as you have said it to be.

Chat should be a priority. When it's confusing and people don't chat because they struggle to respond in time or don't bother due to to the hassle then suddenly the game gets tagged by others have a having a 'weak community' when it hasn't. Seen it other games.

Ah poppets your relentless crusade continues.

I shal combat it with pure opinion!

Am I having more fun in darkfall than any MMO that released in the last 5 years? YES!

A MMO not finished does not mean its not fun.

I second that, I am in beta since a few weeks and guess what there is no game on the market which give me same adrenaline boost like Darkfall, even FPS games.

Sure game has it faults and need balancing, byt hey show me balance in first year of WoW or any MMO on the market. Only thing they have to change is numbers right now. Hole base of game: design and mechanics are well implemented.

YOu are wrong on so many points. Have you even played the game? Or just trolled...

 

Just one example because iam tired:

* No penalties or bonuses on armor types so everyone will wear full plate - why wouldn't they?

There are penatlies, alot of them. Wearing heavy armour makes you fizzle more, makes spells take longer to cast. etc. etc.

      If Darkfall was dog poop with sprinkles on it the fanbois would only see the sprinkles and the haters would only see the dog poop.........If the players that like the game enjoy what it offers then more power to them......Since alot of us did not get into beta all we have to go by is the reviews and the beta vids and they are not very complimentary to say the least.......As for all this fun you guys say you are having I just havent seen it....... I still havent seen a mob in any of the vids I have seen and all I saw was players running around like chickens with their heads chopped off......If that is what makes the game fun then alot of you are easily entertained but most of us want more than that out of our games.

Haha you are trolling when you mention AoC right? I had friends who invested alot of money in Funcom before the release of AoC. Why shouldn`t they when it was a sure win. People was tired of WOW and AoC was the only new mmo on the horizon at that time. We all bought AoC, but we knew after a few hours how bad that game was. Luckily we sold our stoks before they plummet, and we still laugh when we talk about AoC.

 

You have to remember ffa pvp and full-loot is THE thing that makes a mmo fun. I find it hard to belive that most players don`t like this feature, but I guess most haven`t tried it. The funny thing is that I`m not even a good pvper and loose my fights 90 % of the time in DF. Still I love the ffa full-loot mmo`s.

 

And to me quality isn`t about how the game looks, but what I feel when I play it.

Darkfall: Age of the Masochist. Because that's what you guys need to be in order to actually enjoy this game. Don't worry about it, once another full-loot sandbox FFA/alliance-based PvP MMO releases they'll jump this crappy ship.

Funny almost all your points can be said about most established MMOs and one of those games has over 10 million subscribers.

Because you would have to go back to DnL to find something to compare it to and get an idea of how truly terrible and featureless this game really is.

Do you know why the fanboys say the game is "phenomenal"?  Because it lets them run around and grief people and take all their stuff. LOL 

THAT"S IT.  That's exactly why they think the game is "phenomenal". For no other reason but because they can Full Loot and PvP/grief everyone which BTW is exactly what the game is - a grief fest. They call that FREEDOM

Darkfall is nothing more than a functioning combat simulator. And a very badly done one at that with some of the worste animations ever seen in a MMO and nothing more than a mouse click fest.

Stop the madness man.    You registered on this site to pretty much bash the game.   Just move onto Aion and stop trying to convince people who have played the game already that they don't like it.

* Servers not stress tested

- Servers were never tested with 10k occupants ( npc take up player slots )

* weak community

- They do provide pretty good entertainment.

* bad communication by dev's

- A whole month with no information, and patch notes being the only form of communication with beta testers.  Yeah I would say it was pretty bad.

* No player housing

* No Weather

- Who needs weather when the clip plane is crap?

* No Trading system

- DF was never meant to be anything more than mindless PvP. 

* Harvesting only viable through macroing, very poorly designed

- TBH I don't really know how you would make harvesting fun.  I suppose you could make it macro unfriendly tho.

* No local banks

- I would have liked to see global banking between the starter cities, but your right its a huge failure that clan banking is global also.

* No trade caravans

- Agreed

* There ARE safezones

- DF would fall flat on its face if it didn't have safe zones.   I think the better design choice would have been to start players on a fortified island,  then move them over to Argon, which could then be 100% no safe zones.

* Buggy UI

- Yeah its terrible looking and implemented very poorly, but that apparently adds to the " hardcoreness "  

* Lack of intuitive chat commands

- Falls under UI implementation

* Total lack of LFG system, and lack of intuitive group formation systems

- Falls under UI implementation

* Extremely boring, unimaginative and grindy harvesting and crafting system

- Its poorly done, but both will always be a grind no matter how its done.

* Boring badly designed click fest melee combat, with no variation in weapon skill sets

- I can understand the lack of variation with melee combat, but the lack of different animations that would give different weaknesses and strengths to the weapons is just weak.  Blocking and Parry are still irrelevant in combat, and your stamina is the new health bar.  It just needs a lot of work before it lives up to their " Unparallelled " title.

* No penalties or bonuses on armor types so everyone will wear full plate - why wouldn't they?

-  There are bonuses and penalties, but when everyone has the same skill set players won't see different armors being used.  Not enough love is given to players that wish to specialize.

* No penalties or bonuses on weapon styles so everyone will use the polearm - why wouldn't they?

- Agreed

* Effectively 1 class because there will be 10k clones of exactly the same build, because the devs have NO CLUE about making skill based diversification, as has been explained to them hundreds of times

- That will happen when every skill set is the same for every melee weapon, and magic is copy + paste with different particles and animation

* Extremely solo and red unfriendly from minute one of logging in

- It is extremely red friendly.  The only consequence is not being able to go in starter cities or near the wilderness banks by the starter cities.   The solo part is a bit crappy, but it just means the game will be filled with larger guilds.

* Just be aware that you will be PTB (paying to beta) for the first 3 months

- All launches are rocky at the start.

New game with poor launch will fall through the gaps in the fast paced gaming community. Save your money people.

- I'm going to agree that the game doesn't look to be going anywhere.

So much moronic misinformation.

 

-Darkstar

 

 

Not that I give a rat's hindquarters either way but just because you say 'Wrong' doesn't make it wrong. Someone else saying 'It is' without proof doesn't make it right either. Some of the things listed are purely opinion either way. In the example of 'Poor Community' I was part of that community and sure enough there were some nice folks but there were also a whole RAFT of elitist pr1cks, more of the latter IMO.
 

Give more than one word answers. More people might pay attention. If the game is that important to you(either way), it's your job to find a way to explain WITHOUT personal opinion as to why it is as you have said it to be.

 

The point is the original posters intention is not to argue.

 

He presents baseless assertions with no facts to back it up, ill reply in kind.

Again, not that it really matters to me but if the OP presents baseless assertions with no facts to back it up ( the assessment of which I agreed with earlier) and you define that action as 'So much moronic misinformation' and then you  'reply in kind', doesn't that make your response(s) also moronic misinformation?

*I'm not defending or attacking either party. Just discussing semantics

 

He did it first.

 

 Also im willing to stand by any of those points if he or anyone wants to contend them.

-Darkstar

 

You sound just like my 10 yr old grandson. Just what is your age there AV employee / shill?

The OP is only stating what is all over the DF forums nothing more. He doesn't have to justify what others have said and feel.

Now I will admit he is trolling since we have all seen all of these shortcomings for 8 years and they haven't been corrected yet but there really is no reason to keep restating them.

Because you would have to go back to DnL to find something to compare it to and get an idea of how truly terrible and featureless this game really is.

Do you know why the fanboys say the game is "phenomenal"?  Because it lets them run around and grief people and take all their stuff. LOL 

THAT"S IT.  That's exactly why they think the game is "phenomenal". For no other reason but because they can Full Loot and PvP/grief everyone which BTW is exactly what the game is - a grief fest. They call that FREEDOM

Darkfall is nothing more than a functioning combat simulator. And a very badly done one at that with some of the worste animations ever seen in a MMO and nothing more than a mouse click fest.

Fear not Koen83 Poppets is a wise and convincing foe created from the pure evils of unvaporware withdrawls caused by the release of in game information about darkfall. Do not fall for his traps his only goal is to steer you away from the light.

I would not say I 'play' online, I would say I 'live' online.

I must admit even with all the hate there seems to be for darkfall I still think I will give it a chance. At end of the day everyone's taste is different.

You know the saying "one man's rubbish is another man's treasure" lol
