10 guys chasing 1 doesn't sound like they're risking much. In fact, seems a fitting example of a gankfest.
except it took them 5 minutes to do it...so basically one guy got 10 other people to waste 5 minutes of their lives running. That's better than killing someone and making them run back from their respawn. The winner in that video is the guy being chased imo. Haha! I guess there is a silver lining in every cloud! |

Uh, if you've been using their website for info about release details, then you've been horribly misinformed. They've stated for a long time now how horribly outdated that is, and they sadly have never fixed it. That site was seriously oudated way before beta. What exactly is not in that was promised? Prestige classes? Player houses?
Now how about what is in? Clan hamlets, cities, keeps, warhulks, ships, exhaustive crafting trees, most NPC, half of the mob spawns (they have massively been updating these last two pretty much daily). All the endgame content is in, except tabards and the tiny little collections of player houses. When they've got massive keeps working how hard is it going to be to add houses with their locations already all predetermined?
Note: I assume the warhulks and larger ships function, though I have not personally tested these. All the basic mechanics are in-place to use them, but I don't think anyone has quite built them yet, though many are on the verge.
Come back to me with a list of the lies that Aventurine released about what they were going to have in this game, and I'll shoot back with your lack of reading comprehension for missing obscure threads explaining that those features were removed several months ago and the site never updated, or I'll easily counter with a larger list of core features working very well in the beta right now. Yes, some things didn't make the beta. Yes, they certainly used a liberal definition of "feature complete" when describing their product at a few points in history. Is that your grand claim to vaporware status? By that definition every MMO ever released is vaporware I think.
The fact is: this game works, most of the core features are working better than expected, and a lot of testers are having fun playing this game. Also, contrary to the trolls who frequent these forums, this game visually looks better and functions better than any other MMO I've played on the market (and most single-player games too) with these same mechanics. The only rival in graphics/performance I can even think of is Eve, and considering the world/models are far more numerous and varied in DFO, I'd say it comes out a bit ahead there.

I have never, in any post I've ever made about DF, used the term vapourware. It's simply a game with a minutia of the features advertised (if you want to use the excuse that only website they have dedicated to the game is inconsequential and mean nothing...then you're proving my point already about their ineptidude and lack of care for the game). It's an incomplete game, not the game that has been hyped for the past years, and while there are some people just so delusional that they're forcing themselves to be happy with SOMETHING...then bravo, I'm glad you're happy. But your spin, however verbose, is lost on anyone that has any semblace of intelligence. |

Watch that video again and but look around at the world instead of the "Chase" and you will get an idea of what much what of Darkfall is like. I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and Im all out of bubble gum |

This game is no where near as in depth as UO was. In fact, It is a hollow shell of what UO was and still is today.
This is bang on. DF is just so shallow, wait and see when it goes live, thats if you can get a copy. It will go the way of Mordred server on DAOC, within a year. This is my prediction, save it and remind me in a year:) |

Great video, and for people to understand how big AGON is they could have kept sprinting (in straight line) for atleast 2 hours more without hitting shore.... then svim for hours..... But of Stamina drain makes it you cant sprint forever. |

I never said I agreed with their outdated website, and thought it was good marketing. I don't. But it's funny that you low IQ trolls come here to complain about a site you know has been inaccurate for a very long time and then don't even get specific about what features the game fails to deliver. You're all just making blanket statements about something everyone who has even partially followed this game has known for years. The website is shit and out-of-date. At least be honest and just say their website sucks, not that it's some elaborate effort to falsely advertise their product.

Thanks for the vid. Imo however that was a bloody awful example of pvp. That has put me off this game more than any vid I've seen so far. Good quality though. ----- |

I agree it is NOT ELABORATE but it is an effort to falsely advertise their product and I am sure most judges and juries would agree. Doesn't really matter though since they can't even make a sign up server that can operate without programming errors Currently this is the quality of their login / game order server "An internal server error occurred. Please try again later". This is after they have "fixed" it to handle the "massive" load of people trying to order. At least it is no longer generating the script substring error, LOL. |

This is the most retarded looking game I have ever seen based on this video.. Is it even worth it to chase 1 guy for 9000 miles? its either run or chase thats it.. well at least theres no mobs to aggro you you can chase each other in peace.. |
