honestly its a single player game with multi tacked on go play potbs(the open sea is nice tho) thats how bad the instancing is.

wtf is happening to open worlds whats with all the god darn instancing and zones all of sudden it kills the mmo feel of it badly

In my own opinion i do not think instancing is all that bad...i mean i played EverQuest 1 for like 5 years, had no problem zoning...actually the game would suck with out it because you damn near could not drop aggro unless you were an FD class

TRAAAIN!!!1!!

Can you spare a plat for a newbie please, pretty please?

Haha! you know it!

Fun to get a group a friends together and go train busting, or on PvP servers snare some cocky druid or bard trying to train some innocent levelers and watch them get trampled by their own trains.

I agree with you its a matter of choice. Also played the games you mention above and enjoyed them from start but its just no good endgame in those games, its more levels and new forever grinding in new dungeons. Those games becomes boring quite fast as i see it and feel it. Myself i prefer a dynamic player driven world like Darkfall before instances like in AoC. I want total freedom and i prefer to be involved in a game like Darkfall with all its amazing features. Just gotta hope they deliver what they promised.=)

And on the graphic issue, graphics isnt just about polygons, its also a matter of style. I prefer Darkfall style and hopefully the lower polygon counts will make the game run alot better then AoC in large epic battles and that you dont need the latest computer to perform well.

Look at these latest ingame screenies, just amazing how well the developed :

Its like a new game graphic wise.=)

hehe sorry to be every other post but this thread has me interested.

I really like those Pictures of Darkfall...really shows how imaginative the creators are. My only problem is the 2D branches in the trees, otherwise ill be trying Darkfall out as well when and if it releases.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but current Darkfall graphics are at least 3-4 years behind the times and not getting updated anytime soon.

Small team means they have to cut quality.  You can't do a MMO today with 25-30 people, at least and not have decent graphics and features.

What you really need is a new set of eyeglasses. The only MMORPG game under development that can compete with Darkfall graphics is AoC. AoC have more polygons but i prefer Darkfall graphic style any day compared to AoC one. Love the dark, realistic and gothic style Darkfall delivers. Just awsome.

Imo you cannot have both top graphics and lagfree PvP outside an instance. If you like to PvP 20v20, it could work fine, if you want 200vs200 zoneless, it is impossible with the technology available.

exactully why you think AOc is a pathed piss of crap

I'm not a big fan of Darkfall's graphics either, and think LOTRO and VG are MUCH better. With that said, graphics definately don't make the game - IMO LOTRO as a game is even worse than WOW, even though it look 1000 times better, and VG's PVP isn't anything to get excited about (although it does sh** all over LOTRO + WOW).

I do believe DF graphics are an improvement over WAR however, though definately not on par with AOC.

In the end, I am not interested in DF for it's graphics, hell, I'm still playing AC1, and along with UO believe these to still be the best games I have ever played.

good pvp >> graphics :)

Can you show me an ingame video of darkfall graphics?......maybe a fight scene or something?

ok just some guy doing his washing up then?

atm all you are doing is posting a picture of a "house" and saying.."man darkfall pawns AoC"
