Response to that made me giggle. :)

The answer to that is so arrogant and in denial of reality it's not even funny anymore. But we are used to it coming from Tasos anyway.

I'd like to see Tasos' response when MO delivers the final blow to Darkfall's dwindling population...

Same shit he says in every interview where they don't ask him real questions or push him out of his comfort zone, forcing him to become the rude little prick he's known to be ( like when mmorpg.com interviewed him months ago ). Except, of course, instead of "Every gamer will have a chance to try Darkfall before purchsing." has changed to "We don't have one. We might someday.".

"Groundbreaking technology" cracks me up every time, though.

Yeah, was rather miffed with not being able to try it out before purchasing...now i don't even want to anymore and will not purchase, the drama surrounding this game is just to much..... and no that drama I'm talking about is not the negativity from forum trolls, its the drama this Taso's guy started with stretching of truths and going back on various things promised...

As for ground breaking technology...yes it is groundbreaking....in Greece...not the rest of the world though.

"Darkfall is not a mod, it’s a game made from the ground up for PvP and massive battles."

Doh@that dig@mortal.

So then the posts from fans 3 months ago that said there were "thousands" in a battle with zero lag were... dishonest?

I'm shocked! 

 

i am shocked as well!

and what about every fan spouting "OMG the AI IS THE SMARTEST IN THE WORLD! LOOK HOW IT DODGES MY ATTACKS!"

 

yeah.......

Yeah that one is pretty funny as well.
 

 

For an AI that was touted as being the smartest... it sure seemed to be getting a lot of updates every single patch.  Heck by now it should be able to run circles around Deep Blue. 

 

Hopefully, some may start to realize why some of us were skeptical of Tasos' claims back before Beta even started.  There aren't many of the koolaid drinkers left... but some are still drinking in Tasos' own special blend like there is no tomorrow. 

 

I hope that you're not including wyrdaskolir in with the few koolaid drinkers, he's been the most balanced fan of the game that we have posting here.

Nah... I think they know who they are.

Stopped reading after I realized the same questions that have been asked before were being asked again...

The original article is in Italian.   If you go to the bottom of the "English" translation page there is a "Previous"  (Precedente) button.  It will take you to the un-translated Italian article.  I figured more users here speak English than Italian... so I linked the English version. 

I also kinda thought that the ".it" part in the link would give it away that it was originally a foreign interview.  I usually don't link those, but since they had an English translated version, I figured it would work out.

Anyway... most probably figured it out, but hopefully that clears it up for everyone else.

If Darkfall has ever had 10k concurrent users online, they'd have announced it. There would be queues.  Players would be posting about how full the server is, not how empty.  It's pure bullshit.

Regarding battles with thousands of players, also bullshit.  The largest campaign I've ever heard of on the boards (both here and on the official boards) was allegedly with 2k players and I've yet to hear of one since then that's been even one thousand (hundreds is more like it).  If it was happening, we'd know.  At the time I played, I questioned whether there were even 2 or 3 thousand online, so how could these epic battles even be possible?  Also, before some anal-retentive (more than me ;) ) apologist comes along, yes 2k players is "thousands", but Tasos is clearly implying that these types of battles occur regularly, not just the alleged one time.

~Ripper

Yeah, those numbers were hard to believe when EU-1 was at it's peak.

When Tasos tries to imply that the servers are even more full now... it really makes me believe he is trying to get on some comedy show.  Does he really think anyone believes the BS he spews forth?

I would have loved to have seen this interview on video.  I am sure the person doing the interview was having a hard time keeping a straight face after hearing some of those answers. 

Tasos is definitely related to "Bahgdad Bob".

Most people who criticize the game play or have played the game. And let me break it for you: the US and EU are not the whole world.

Now that made me laugh.  I doubt 50% of the people who criticize the game have actually played it.  We know we're not the whole world... just the most important parts of it.

This is incorrect.

That, and I don't think the ability to go against the laws of physics and climb 90 degree inclines is really something to be proud of.

That was a weak jab, indeed. I have played plenty of games where the developers were using an already built engine, awesome games by the way. Unless your own engine is really good there's not much to be bragging about...

I like the swing he takes at MO with "Darkfall is not a mod."

No, DF isn't a mod, it's just a half-assed, rinky-dink engine. And MO isn't a mod either. I don't know if he knows the difference between a game that has access to engine code or a mod that just has limited access to code/scripts, but it seems he doesn't.

I'm gonna laugh so hard when MO owns DFs face. Because you know DF is gonna crash and burn when MO is released, since it will take all DFs players.

"I like some of the games that have come out recently but I don’t believe any game can be similar to Darkfall any time soon. I won’t go into the long list of unique features that Darkfall has but I’ll just say that Darkfall is the largest seamless, zoneless, un-instanced MMO ever created that holds more than 10 thousand concurrent users with no artificial barriers and invisible walls. The largest and most epic real-time online battles ever with thousands of players participating are happening in Darkfall right now. For any game to be able to do just that they would have to create their own groundbreaking technology like we had to do in order to offer things to our players that nobody else could until now."

Lol, this whole thing made me laugh. The only games that have come out recently are "themepark carebear" games. Hear that you fanbots? Tasos is really a themepark carebear. Stop defending him.

"Long list of unique features..." Right. Their whole selling point was that they're going back to the old UO days, so how can they be unique features?

"Largest seamless..." blah, blah, blah. Like Bloodworth said above me, it's not true.

Thousands of epic real-time battles... maybe once, or twice. In 5 months of release.

"Groundbreaking technology" also cracks me up.

Thanks for linking the "Intervista a Tasos - Articolo di MMORPG GameSource.it: Videogiochi, Soluzioni, Anteprime e molto altro". Yes, everyone should've been able to tell that it was a translated version of an Italian interview.

Jesus christ do you Darkfail cunts not get it?  WE don't care about every little hunk of shit that pops up on this crap game.  WoW doesn't get a post every time someone stubs there toe ingame.  WAR doesn't get a new post every time someone has to run to the bathroom during a fight.  Drink the damn kool-aid already or stfu.  Tasos is a moron and your all fanboys.  Daikatana online was never good.

Yeah... I just kept thinking "Bullshit... Bullshit... Bullshit..." to almost every comment he made in that response.

"It’s easy however to announce that your game will have some of Darkfall’s features when and if your game comes out some day."

I love that bit. How many times have people here proven, time and again, that every so-called "unique feature" in Darkfall has already existed in other MMOs before it... that nothing DF does is unique or "revolutionary"? I've lost count.

I really wonder if Tasos actually *believes* half the crap he spews out. Sometimes I think he does... then I read a particularly absurd comment and think, "No... No way does he actually believe that..."

As for the "thousands" of people fighting in one area comment.. Funny how that bit had fallen by the wayside as even some of the more avid fans doubted its accuracy... Doesn't stop Tasos from repeating it, though. The guy is a first-class BS Artist and Spin-Meister, plain and simple.

cool, they already work on the missing features that were promised next free expansion. darkfall is so full of win.

 Yes, by your post, I can definitely sense the inherent qualities of the First World.

Heh, most of the MMO population of the world is in Asia, and look how hard western developers are trying to tap that market. Do your homework, important boy, before trying to jab people at Internet. Because it can (and did) make you look stupid.

Hi everyone,

i'm Chobeat from www.gamesource.it I'm the head director of the Mmorpg section. I just would like to say that the original interview is in English so every mistyping in the answers come from Tasos itself. We never edit answers. If there is any mistype among the questions, please notify that to me and i will check myself. We didn't expected such an audience for this interview so we took it easy on the correction of our own questions.

Btw lulz @darkfall is not a mod

Putting a pretty red bow on a dried dog turd would be 'improving' it as well.  But it'd still be a turd.

"For any game to be able to do just that they would have to create their own groundbreaking technology like we had to do in order to offer things to our players that nobody else could until now."

What do they offer their players that no one else could?

UO had ALL of the features in Darkfall + many... many more.
Shadowbane had all of the non-skill related features except naval combat + many... many more.

It's like Tasos lives in a dream world where only what is inside of his mind is factual.

I also laughed pretty hard at the "largest seamless, zoneless, un-instanced MMO ever created."

Uh... ever hear of EvE, Tasos?

EvE is cleverly disguised... but not seamless.

most this interview was BS...

Yep. It isn't a "Myth" after all.

I was  starting to wonder if I would ever get to use it anywhere.

Seemed like as good a place as any.
