how vulnerable is the game to hacking?

When darkfall launched there were many players that enjoyed hacking and exploiting the game.. altho AV managed to get rid of most of them there are still ways to do it..

But...

If you play game like us normal players do.. the people who hack can be counted with your fingers and are not really noticable when playing darkfall the normal way..

Also if a hacker is spotted by another player this account will be perma banned.. (logical ofcourse)

tbh don''t worry to much about these kinda stuff.. you prolly won't encounter them

Yes he did.  I'm not trying to compare the two games, I'm offering to answer any questions people have about the new game or the old game.  There are many features of the old game that will be in the new one.

 how much timke have you spent playing in DFUW beta that you can claim to be a vet in it? if not how can you truely answer our questions with any degree of honesty?

If I dont like getting ganked and dry looted and sent back to a binding post on the other side of the game world after farming mobs for 2 hours losing basically two hours of my life and some really hard work will I still like DF?

If I dont like getting ganked and dry looted when I have 5% heatlh left after fighting and just killig a super hard mob will I still like DF?

If I dont like having to mount and dismount 50 feet out of town for fear someone will jump on my mount the minute I spawn or dismount regardless of whether they care about being flagged or not, will I still like DF?

If i dont like setting up a trade with someone then being setup mself ganked and dry looted of everything I wanted to trade, will I still like DF?

Because this stuff happens all day non-stop in DF.  But its being sold as a game that has somwthing for "everyone".

Tasos isn't CEO ..he is Associative Producer ...

 

But he takes over multple jobs like he like to say one of it is propaganda chief  think irak information minister / bagdad bob ...

 So true. +1

For some time now I have been getting interested in this game but I want to know more about it. Specially the PVE part.

Will there be significant PvE to the game or will it just be a placeholder for the PvP?

Will there be restrictions in place to prevent players from just being a master of every combat ability? Like mastering all mages, warrior, etc skills?

They all end in question marks.

edit: And Id say its more like a retaining wall.

there is lost of pve ingame.. and it actually takes some skil aswell to kill some..

The only thing is.. that can you be killed with your loot on you.. which makes the pve a thrill..

In darkfall 1.0 everyone good do anything @ the same time..

In darkfall unholy wars.. this will be different there are rolls and not everyone can take all the roles @ the same time.. you can swtich tho.. but not every spells or ability will be accessable @ the same time

I completely disagree.   I get po'd every time I get killed.  I hate losing stuff.  I still love the game.  Once you realise that you can replace things easily and that your gear isn't level based etc. It is a lot easier.  I would hate to drive someone away because they think they are going to lose the equivilent of a purple item everytime they die.

I'm gonna mop you up in 2.0 boy.

That's right.

Well you dont have to worry about full loot in the game because the same way that dude killed you and took the stuff somebody killed him and took his things. Its a circle of karma.

Another question:

In games you can usually press a key, lets use Alt for example, and you can see monsters, npcs, and players name floating over the heads telling you their position, is this possible on Darkfall or are the names always hidden until you reach a certain distance, say 5 feet from it?

I ask because I usually play roles where I can hide and attack from a distance.

in the old 1.0.. when you aimed on something.. you had a tekstblock in a window telling you want you can do with it.

FYI: there are no tesktblocks on anything except a small icon when your in party

basicly you need to forget all you know about mmo's

Before i played darkfall i was fan of ""normal" games aswell.. like gw and so forth.. once you hit in darkfall and played for it for couple of month''s there is no turning back.. :P

everything else is just dull and boring..

Hide and attack --> you will fit straight in

There are no healthbars or name markers on the GUI until as you said, you get 5 feet from your target and put your cursor over it. So yes hiding behind a tree and watching someone kill a mob, then swooping in and surprise attacking them is perfectly viable :D

Darkfall players don't like getting looting, they like looting someone else. However the fact that you can get looted makes looting someone else possible. If you travel for two hours to a farming spot you are doing it wrong. Farming spots are spread out all across the world and everyone farms nears their bindstone.

If I dont like getting ganked and dry looted when I have 5% heatlh left after fighting and just killig a super hard mob will I still like DF?

If you have to drop to 5% health while fighting a monster you are doing it wrong or fighting too hard of a monster. Darkfall pve has its own rules regarding pve compared to other games. There are no limitations on levels or the amount of players you can have in a zone, however the risk vs reward concept that darkfall is based off of presents natural rules to the pve meta game. Bring less people, split the loot with less players, more likely to be killed by bandits. You could wear more expensive gear, kill the mob faster, defend yourself better. However you never know how prepared your enemy will be and you could die to 5 players and you have essentially wasted all your best gear.

Basically what I'm saying if you want safer farming in darkfall it is very possible, you just have to put in the effort.

If I dont like having to mount and dismount 50 feet out of town for fear someone will jump on my mount the minute I spawn or dismount regardless of whether they care about being flagged or not, will I still like DF?

I never had my mount stolen in darkfall 1 after three years, not once. Regardless I see this could annoy some players and improve the new player experience overall by not allowing mount theft. Mount theft is not possible like it was in darkfall 1.

If i dont like setting up a trade with someone then being setup mself ganked and dry looted of everything I wanted to trade, will I still like DF?

Pvp is disabled in some parts of the world in Darkfall unholy wars.

Because this stuff happens all day non-stop in DF.  But its being sold as a game that has somwthing for "everyone".
