EvE has battles nearing 3000's or even mroe which is like 3 times the whole darkfall population jsut in 1 battle =p

If you liked DF you should try EvE, it does everythign DF did but 10 times better, and 10 times more options, DF only allowed pvp orf arm nothing else at all, EvE has 10's of career patchs, explorer, pirate, imperialist, mission runner, miner, industrialist... So many options

I would call bullshit, biggest battle I ever was in DF had maybe 150-200 players. Can't be sure, this was sometime after launch when there were actually people still playing the game.

I can't change what you believe >.< I've been in many mass-scale sieges, the largest was between CotC and Afghan + Dusk (or Cactus?) for Mar Shral. There was an estimated 1200 people involved, with fighting spread over a huge area. I also know that that fight was not nearly the largest. Some of the early fights on Niffleheim were between massive armies as well, and at Hyperions height, just before they fell to CotC, they had about 1500 membrs, with CotC sporting 2200. When those two alliances clashed, the whole server felt it.

The Mar Shral siege was definitely the largest I've ever been in at ~1200 people, but I've been in many, many sieges with anywhere from 300-500 people in it over the years. Even recently, with a lower server population, I've been in fights with 200 people in it.

I'm really quite curious though. What scale of combat does PS2 offer? What do I have to look forward to there?

The problem I had with Darkfall 1 and the problem I'm sure I'm going to have with Darkfall Unholy Wars is if you don't go almost full magic you're doomed to fail.  I wanted to simply be all melee and maybe some archer, but watching these videos reminded me why I dumped this game and didn't look back.  Plus look at it.  It's nothing but buff wars.  I'm sorry, I can see the appeal for some people, but it's if going to be the same thing in Darkfall Unholy Wars, you're going to just have the same few people interested.  I hate seeing games with 5 stacks of buffs.  Give me one or two single buffs and it's not overkill.  You start stacking sometimes 20 buffs and tell me what the point is then.

Perhaps the best player to ever touch Darkfall has been playing almost exclusively melee/archery for as long as I can remember. He's pretty much the last person you want to encounter in a siege.

I'd rather not go into personal assaults but as you are obviously baiting me to do so I can't really prevent myself from doing it.

 

Oh! Yeah, I wasn't directly in the wessex clan but in the covenant of the phoenix if I can recall the name right. We were well-organized and I mostly listened to our leader and troopleaders rather than the higher ups as it didn't concern me. I did roleplay though so Mannus was my king for better or worse (worse actually as he was very full of himself and it was the other people in wessex that were the true leaders) 

 

The crafting in darkfall was mediocre and as there were no  item decay and pretty much anyone could just make the best items thus it became pointless fast. Now, if there were decay on items and some items were very difficult to create or the knowledge on how to make them was different I would say that the crafting was well-done but it was okay. :P 

 

Not trying to bait you merely let you know that a shit ton has changed over the last 3 years and you cannot judge the game today as it was at launch.   Also, just stop talking about crafting you obviously don't know wtf you are talking about as  there is and always has been item decay in DF it is called durability any item goes down according to how many times you use the item.  You swing your shiny new sword its dura goes down shoot an arrow from your bow dura goes down (regardless of whether you hit anything or not)  the only thing that has to be hit to go down is... duh armor of course, and yes it has dura and will break as well.  EVERY SINGLE ITEM IN DF WILL BREAK OVER TIME (unless of course you never actually use it).   Also the durability is in fact not that great and will range from perhaps 500 swings on a shitty crafted sword to at max 1500 swings on the best crafted sword you can make.   Perhaps you are judging crafting from your experiences in the early days when very very few people had actually researched and crafted any higher level stuff, hell at 3 months i don't think anyone was even crafting infernal or JB's maybe like a couple people on the server.
