Heh, and people wonder why DF is criticisized as being a buggy POS?

Not only should things like that actually not even happen, but to have to use those as workarounds tell you what kind of amatuerish job was done coding in the first place.

It boggles the mind...

 

planetside 2 barely handles 50 people on the same place(lag all over the place) and graphics are superbad imo

 

soooo I dont really understand how you can shit on Darkfall when it is the top concurent players on the server game(excluding EvE online because the commands there are really simple and it isn't FPS type like df and ps 2 are).

So, you are saying that SOE can't program? No s*** sherlock.

Not a good comparison.

And yes, Eve is the game to compare it to, since it is the only other single server game that comes to mind. Other games have many servers, instances and that stuff, so can't really compare those.

And comparing just the game functionality to Eve really shows how far AV has to go...

 

But EVE online doesn't offer FPS controls and doesn'T even have a detailed land mass.

So no, Darkfall is unique and the only game that offers fluent mass battles. No big company accomplished that before

After GW2 failed to keep their promise with the introduction of the gear treadmill this week...I started looking around for new game again since I was there for the WvW with no gear grind. Was pleasantly surprised when I found out about Darkfall  Unholy Wars! I will definitely be looking into this!

 

Oh btw, very interesting that this got top hype...the very same day that the information about the new gear tier in GW2 started to come out.

It is top hyped since weeks and if you liked GW2 sieging you will love Darkfalls sieging about meaningful playercities

Ah I was going off the thread start date. Nm then hah.

Either way, I'll be checking it out for sure.

Are you going to try it to see if it changes your mind?  That is the only way to do a "i told you so" when you fall in love with the game.

at least 90% of people who considered darkfall and just tried it think it sucks. Rest 10% had the rush of their lives, especially on launch and we all hope for repeat of this! There is also sickness: darkfallness where you cant look at other MMORPGs because you are so biased by darkfall mechanics so you understand how rest of the MMOs are really crap. Fear not that I'm a fanboy because I can't wait for a day for some other company/game to deliver simmilar mechanics in a much nicer development enviorment!

The first iteration of Darkfall lasted 3+ years, with a solid niche player base.  That was long enough for the developer, one Aventurine, SA, to fix things up and re-release the game as its own entity.

I've seen posts by people intending to come back to the game, and personally know quite a few (40 to 50ish) who are coming back.  The game might fail in your world, but not ours.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Unless you're not from the USA; then have a nice Thursday.

500,000 tried , 150000 purchased = 30%

There seems to be an error here.  The game with top hype is already released.  I don't think a patch that fixes a few bugs, wipes everyone's progress, and alters the title is considered a game in development.

...and updates the graphics, revamps the UI, introduces all new land, completely changes the skill system, introduces a class system...hmm.

:P

there's actually more then 5000 people on 1 server? All of which without instance

up to 10k per server all at once with no instances.

Ah so it isn't a patch.  An expansion.  So why is it listed as a game in development?

Lol, expansions don't wipe your character and introduce all new land while getting rid of all old land and completely change the gameplay :P What kind of games to do play where that would happen? :P ok ok, i won't feed troll anymore hehe.

We're probably going to have to actually play DF:UW before we start referring to it as an expansion/patch/mild update/hey new launcher graphics or whatever tickles you the right way. Patience, bud. Patience.

Save the judgement for the right time.
