Anybody who has a spare place in a Clan for me and maybe a buddy or two in the future would be great, or maybe just a bit of advice in game as I am kind of on my own at the moment.

Cheers!

 

 

First of all, congratulations on biting the bullet and not listening to the stupid trolls and haters that still lurk around here. Yes, it's an excellent game, and it's only going to get better with the HUGE expansion coming out tomorrow.

 

As for your race choice, no, do not reroll. If you want to be a mage, STAY Alfar. They're getting magic boosts (we're all assuming based off of what they hinted at) so they're definitely the "magic" race to be.

 

As for advice, BANK and BANK OFTEN. You will lose a ton of shit in this game, it's a given, just remember that one day you'll be the one standing over the tombstone of someone you destroyed on the battlefield.

Besides that, my biggest piece of advice is to play the game the way it was designed. DO NOT macro, DO NOT focus on the same skill for hours unless you enjoy that. I play the game the way I want. I skill up on mobs for a little while and then I mostly do solo/small scale PvP. If I grinded like so many people in game do all the time, I would drive myself insane.
 

Oh, and WELCOME TO DARKFALL! For some reason, I have a feeling I'll be saying that all the damn time over the next few weeks as more and more and more people seem to be taking the chance at trying Darkfall and LOVING it.

 

I have never listened to trolls, but have never listened to blatant fanboism either. Am very glad to have bit the bullet as well.

 

I know I said I wanted to be a mage, but I don't know if you've experienced Alfar chat it's all "lulz that dood was a faggot" ad nauseum. So I think I may go Human as I'm presuming they can fill any role by reading their description.

 

I was already following the banking code, so no worries there. Have already deleted my other toon, just deciding whether to reroll tonight ot wait after the patch, I should probably wait but really want to play.

 

I have a feeling good things are coming for both Darkfall and Aventurine.

I would prob say wait just to see what the racials are before you pick, might help you decide.. would suck to pick human and they have the worst racials in the game or something :p

edit:

"All races are getting traits which are small enhancements connected to the background story of each race. Alfar for example lean towards magic, orks towards melee, etc. we’ll keep working on differentiating the races even further. These are not huge differences at this stage but they will help give the races more individuality and these differences will be felt in the game. We’re taking small steps to keep everything well balanced and we’ll not stop at this. We’ll evaluate every change and build on it."

Well I did it. Rerolled Maharim and don't regret it one bit.

Was killing Gobbos and received one PM offering to pay me for all the vegetables and cheese I find, and another was a clan invite to a clan that has been very very helpful. So I don't regret my decision one bit, I can still be a mage. Not the most effective, but at least I can read Racial chat now :P

Actually mahirims have an advantage to magic since they are taller and can hit people's feet slightly easier.
