Are you aggressive enough to play Darkfall?

........................Or, are you smart enough to stay away?

 Sorry but the combat *still* looks bloody awful. Whack.. whack.. whack.... run.. run ...run... whack.... repeat x1000. I can see the initial appeal but the sub loss shows the staying power of this game.

Aggressive enough. Just not bored enough.

I guess not.

I seem to have outgrown the testosterone driven aggression that Darkfall seems to require.

If I wanted to play a game with Quake animations and effects, then I would play Quake.

Sorry, but that's what Darkfall reminds me of every time I see one of these videos.

Team Fortress Intro  circa 1996

The Medic chopping on the Scout at 0:37 cracks me up.

Longer than I played DFO.

In that game parry mattered as did timing. Blocking in the front didn't mean you were blocking in the back as well. Strategy was important. Archery had a much better trajectory making aiming feel realistic. Many fun battles were faught in that game, The question should be, is DFO aggressive enough for us. Doesn't it depress you that it seems peoples first order of business when they get attacked in there city isn't to fight back but bank what they can first?

Still most ugly and boring combat of MMORPG history...

One should imagine that a topic like this would backfire.

And some still disagree that this game is basically a fantasy FPS...

It is truly amazing how low and unimaginable fight on this game can be. Not only the lowest possible quality of graphics/animations but also lack of content. Its like watching wolfenstein fighting.

Saddly, Tacos is not succesfull for making a game, but for fooling people using marketing tricks, exploiting peoples lust for pvp and eventlly producing one of the worst mmo titles ever. 

This video is just a proof of what most of us were expecting it will be, only 3 years earlier.

I have a pretty good computer and I can assure you, it doesn’t look crappy like that, it looks a lot better on higher settings. That’s just a guy that lowered his graphics so his computer wouldn’t choke on fraps.

As for the boring combat, I like it… I like it a lot. It’s very interactive unlike 95% of the cookie cutter MMOs out there. Well, it doesn’t look as fun for mages but that’s the current flavour of the month so every hardcore elite players are into magic.

In 6 month, you’ll see videos with only long sword and vice versa… it’s like WOW and the old Arcanite Reaper, EVE and the Myrmidon, SWG and the kraith T21, Mankind and the legion of fishbones….

My only main concern is, why the fuck are you guys hanging on this forum if you hate this game so much, are you all retarded or something? There is not a single constructive reason for you guys to be here, do you enjoy being a worthless person? Is that what your life devotion is, being worthless? 

Darkfall is an indie game made by a very small group and so far, it's a pretty damn good game. It has flaws, it doesn't have AAA graphics and the sound production is ear bleeding at times but the experience is quite good.

Well most are hanging around this forums hoping it gets better. Many felt the same as you when we were as new to the game as you. Given time though some realizations set in. That wasn't a slight on you. I played from beta up until just before NA servers. In the begining I felt about the game the same way you do now. I even said pretty much what you're saying now. If you don't believe me look through my post history lol. As far as the FoV comment, thats a pretty long month considering that flavor has been here since about 2 weeks after launch lol.

I'm sure the game will lose it's special perfume after a few week or months. Also, I've never aimed at you in my posts. You always write something worth reading, no worries on that.

Aggressively terribad.  Looks like a MMO version of Hexen 2.

I hang out here for the same reason I have been following Darkfall since it was announced in 2001, to keep up with it and it's development. Will it ever be what it touted itself to be all these years? Who knows. But if poking fun at some of Darkfall's "features" gets me labeled as a hater, retarded, worthless person, then so be it.

What some refer to as "hate" is simply a rational reaction to the shortcomings that Darkfall has, and the unwillingness to accept what was finally offered as opposed to what was advertised.

Darkfall could/should have been much more than what was delivered.

Yes, Darkfall is developed by an indie company. I just don't feel that this gives any justification to the state of the game.

Personally, I feel the day that people quit "hating" on Darkfall will mean one of two things. That the game is finally perfect, or the people that want the game to improve no longer cares.

That begun like such a nice post, why did you have to ruin it by adding this paragraph ?

Agree 100%

I do have to wonder sometimes if some realize mmorpg.com is a gaming forum.  As such; many find it's main use to be one of entertainment.  

That music was pretty gay.......great vid though.

Who are "you guys"? If you do some careful reading around here, you'll notice that most of what you'd consider "haters" are people that had great expectations about the game, only to witness the abortion Aventurine put out. Most of the criticism is fact-based, written properly and generally constructive. There is the occasional hate burst, but those are few and far between. Ignore them, and you'll have a valid pool of good constructive criticism.

We had a lot of fire and brimstone after the beta and at launch, when people felt the pain head on. Those were the guys that hanged in here (or stalked information, like me) for the past few years. And, honestly, I think they had a very valid point in venting up.

And, just to provoke, what's a worthy person?

You guys just wish your MMO was as awesome as Darkfall is, or you wouldn't post here at all.

In truth we simply wish DFO was awsome that is why we post here. Waiting and hoping. It's a race to see what happens first.

Does DarkFall become "Awsome" 

Or do we lose interest and quit posting.

Only time will tell.

I read this and thought, "Where is Polarization when you need him?"

He could do it more justice than I ever could.

Actually, Polarization would say exactly the same as Zeno.

But then you would know for certain that it was sarcasm.
