Oh, Dark, you mean breaking the mold. Not groundbreaking.

Here is the definition of groundbreaking:

groundbreaking

adjective
1. being or producing something like nothing done or experienced or created before; "stylistically innovative works"; "innovative members of the artistic community"; "a mind so innovational, so original" [syn: innovative]

But its a simple mistake to make, I hope this cleared it up for you.

  The game lacks many of the features that were supposed to make it ground breaking, 

 

 

Go on what ground breaking features did not make it into launch ??

 

Lots of mobs? Right, ground breaking... no wait every other MMO has that.

 

Fog ?  Are u kidding me?

 

Prestige classes ?  Sorry, nothing ground breaking there.

 

What is it about Darkfall that was supposed to be so groundbreaking ?

 

1. Free for all pvp, its been done before but not recently, its ground breaking.  CHECK. 

If it's been done before, it is not groundbreaking. UO, Lineage 2 ( which I'd say counts as recently )

 2. Full loot. Certainly Ground breaking. CHECK

Been done before, not groundbreaking. UO

 3. No levels, skill based instead.  In todays MMO market, this is ground breaking. CHECK.

Been done before, not groundbreaking. UO come s to mind.

 4. The ability to craft almost any item in the game. Yup, thats ground breaking. CHECK.

Saga of Ryzom, EVERYTHING IS CRAFTED. Been done before, not groundbreaking.

 5. To craft boats, steer them and destroy other players boats. Ground Breaking. CHECK.

 Sorry, been done before, not groundbreaking. Here's a hint, they have pirates even..

6. Guild towns and cities. done before, but this could very well be ground breaking. CHECK.

Done before, not groundbreaking. Star Wars Galaxies

 7. Sieging other cities.  If done well, this is ground breaking. CHECK

Done before, not groundbreaking. Shadowbane

 8. FPS style combat in an MMO. Definitetly ground breaking. CHECK.

Done before, not groundbreaking. Hellgate: London

 

 

 

Keep fidling along on ur last string little trolls, its the only one u got left.

Keep trying to defend Darkfall with bullshit, it's the only thing you got left.

 

 

-Darkstar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Learn the meaning of the word groundbreaking. If it has EVER been done before, it is NOT groundbreaking.

Thanks for playing, come back soon!
 

 

Sorry, u got it wrong.

 

Right now every MMO is a wow clone, thats is because every MMO believes that WOW is the formulae form making a good MMO. 

Therefore to break new ground is not about having a new feature, but have a feature that breaks from the wow mold, but being implemented in an innovative way that actually works well.

If it doesnt become part of the mold for the next generation of MMOs, its not ground breaking.

 

And thats why people say that Darkfall will be groundbreaking, I understand ur confusion since, as u say, u thought groundbreaking meant New.

Then it would have said new.

 

But its a simple mistake to make, I hope this cleared it up for u.

So by your definition, DF is not groundbreaking until most future MMOs take DF as influence when developping their features.

Also: EvE.

If u look a little bit up on that same page, assuming u used dictionary.com, ull see what im talking about.

originating or pioneering a new endeavor, field of inquiry, or the like: Pasteur's groundbreaking work in bacteriology.

Pioneering being the operative word.

Also if u follow ur own explanation u need to look up the word Innovative.

Here ill do it for u:

something new or different introduced:

Not neccesarily created,  just introduced.

Its really not very hard to grasp.

I don't post often but this can't be passed up...Do you REALLY think that you can just define words to mean whatever you want?

Darkstar you can't even spell out "you," so stop giving spelling lessons, lmao.

WoW was not ground breaking, it just borrowed heavily from EQ and bits from a few other games without many of their mistakes and put a good polish on it
DFO is not groundbreaking, it has just borrowed heavily from UO and somewhat from Daoc, improved a few things, left out a lot more and screwed up the rest

Both took their templates from one of the two main braches of previous generation MMO’s because both went into development at roughly the same time, just wow beat DFO to release by..oh about 4 years

DFO could not follow the “WoW template” because plan for it was laid out years before wow was released and while it might look groundbreaking to you it’s not to anyone who has been around for while

This is true, but noone is making another EVE, or another UO.

No point pioneering if noone will go there after u, then someone has to pioneer all over again, breaking ground again so to speak.

Like the Vikings being the first ones to America.

They could easily have made the game more of a wow clone as the development went on, in fact this is one of the reasons development was halted in Norway.

Actually it wasnt the wow template at that time, it was the DAoC template that later wow copied in terms of gameplay, which ofcourse was a continuation of the EQ template.

Each step broke new ground for THAT particular design choice in an MMO, and each step had their own innovations.

Same with the UO, Shadowbane, EVE and now Darkfall path, each is based on the other but each brings something new to the table constantly pushing that Template forward.

Can't we say that about features in just about every pay to play MMO though? "Each is based off each other but each brings something new to the table...". I think we can, so by this definition Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Lord of the Rings Online,  World of Warcraft, among others should all be considered groundbreaking.

Wrong:  DFO is an attempt at a next gen UO (pre UO:R) , from their own FAQ

"Darkfall was inspired by the pioneers of online role-playing games, such as Ultima Online, Everquest and Asheron’s Call"

And if you look at their updates over the years you will see constant references to UO

I never played Lotro, but I dont think anyone will be taking features from AoC or WAR and bring them further.

Apart from the city building in AoC most of their features where pretty much the wow template, granted a few improvements here and there, but very few things id call groundbreaking.

hmm, maybe the Public Quest system in WAR, that was groundbreaking.

The housing in AoC was a step back, im sorry but Shadowbane did it better.

Having every guild have its own instance town creates thousands of empty little instances with buildings in them.

Making the Battlekeeps almost pointless, why risk that much on a town u can loose when u can have a safe town all for urself? The benefits of the Battlekeep where negligable.

In Darkfall however EVERYTHING is ground breaking, every feature takes the template two or three steps further.

Much more town construction possibilites then in Shadowbane, many more spells schools then UO and all the rest that makes the game unique today.

Yes inspired by. DFO has some elements from UO but here's the thing. It's more of an RTSFPSMMORPG.

That isn't a copy of UO.

Inspired by and clone are two different things.

How can you judge something that hasn't even released yet? They had to redo the whole thing from scratch a while back, so I wouldn't call it a retarded term such as "Vaporware". So what if it isn't what you hoped for when it releases? QQ and quit complaining.

I'm a beta tester and Darkfall is and never was vaporware. The game has held every last promise that matters. OP is just a troll that wants to save face.

they turned off certain features in the BETA so they could get players to use other features that they wanted to be tested. as for everyone saying it sucks and it has crappy gameplay....either try the actual full retail release to see the true gameplay and then complain.....or shut the f*** up and get on with your life instead of wasting it b****ing about the BETA.
