As for "naked macroing".. Skills can be raised by striking air? If thats so, then this game has already failed. Why fight you when I can just setup and auto strike air macro and build my skill up for days?

Obviously with that design the developers are indeed fighting themselves because you want your citizens to fight each other, yet they do not have to, to get better? Wheres the reward for fighting if they are going to train naked for skill all day? Who's ACTUALLY going to be fighting? lol..

 

Almost every skill can be raised by unattended macroing.  In some cases, you have absolutely nothing to risk (mage, melee etc).  In some cases, like mining, you have a risk of someone finding you and killing you and you lose what is in your backpack.  Fortunately it's fairly easy to do a 'circular' macro where you run back to the bank every so often.  The other fortunate part is that you can macro most gathering skills within protected zones, so you can't even be ganked.

A lot of the other skills are very easy to macro.. absurdly easy.  To the point where you dont' have to even run a macro program, all you need to do is put something heavy on one of your keys.

The 'target' in this story probably could care less.  He went to sleep with a low skill, and woke up and his skill was much higher. 

Expect to see 'naked' people everywhere.

If what you say is true then darkfall = epic fail and my faith in this game is greatly diminished although I was never a huge fan, I may have tried it but not now.

Think i will stick with forums.station.sony.com/vg/posts/list.m until MO come out.

 

The game can be scaled to look like it was made in 2000, or up to 2009. At max settings, it's beyond beautiful. The OP must not have a very strong PC.

Pics or it didn't happen. The draw distance in this game laughable.

Here is what we had in 2007.

And now it comes with DX10 shadowing and post processes.

Darkfall looks like it runs on DX5. With a distance fog of "In your face".

yet it takes you 30 seconds to travel through that, and you can't climb the edges.

so have fun with your themepark box.

edit: take a look at this

You don't know what your talking about.

The fact that this new game is being compared to a game that was released three years ago (and for me it looks worse) is enough for me not to play it. I once said, "I don't care about grapics I just want a good game". Well after building my monster that no longer falls true, I want graphics, good content, solid gameplay, stable servers, PvP, raiding and as a paying customer I should have them all.

is that supposed to look good?

I'm a beta tester myself, but graphics were a big let-down when compared to the screens we got in the updates.

Ok, i know high-gfx settings are not enabled yet, but if the game stays as it is currently then that's good reason not to play...

Whatever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL88uLdu5-4&feature=hd  <---- DX9, not even DX10.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MkqPxjvGts  <-- DX10

I love fanboy logic.

If something in the game is awesome, list it everywhere as a feature and brag on the forums.

If something turns out to be crap, say it doesn't matter and call them trolls.

So hilarious. They were bragging about the graphics, then when real beta vids come out and look like 1995 they now think "Graphics don't matter anyway."

Thank you, I like reading this sort of things!

However, repeatedly killing that guy at the end, over and over, is one of the reasons I will not pick this game up at start. I can stand anyone taking all my stuff no problem, but getting camped like that breaks immersion instead of adding it and that is a real gamebreaker to me.

I should mention that when you resurrect, he had a buff which made him immune to damage for about 1-2 minutes, however, he chose there to sit and wait for it to be up. I believe he was macroing, and I was not able to loot him as he got back to his corspe too fast, and there seemed to be a bug or something which prevented me from opening his loot bag even 10 seconds after I clicked use.

These graphics are on max settings, I have a nvidia 8800gt, dual core processor at 3.00gHz, a 1680x1050 monitor, they were pasted on to Paint, which most probably degraded the quality.

O.o

So, this was max settings, as for paint, being a Graphic designer, no, Paint would retain the exact pixel values for everything, its a lossless app from the days of BMP's.

Well Mr. Graphic Designer, the uploaded images are in .jpg

So? As if JPG would make the graphics shitty. There just isn't enough compression in those images to even go down this road.

Yeah, sure, save the same image file as .bmp and as .jpg using Paint and notice the difference...

aye good thinking.

smart people usually base decisions off a beta-quality screenshot.

Yes, because jpeg lossy compression shortens distance fog.............

Yeah, try looking for the words "Distance fog" in any of my previous post. Won't take you long as I only have two, lol. 

These pictures almost make the game look cel-shaded. Almost like XIII was. I love it.

ya but even though the game will still be the same after launch it is good thinking to judge from a beta screenshot...oh i forgot the game will be in beta for a long time now. yay another game releasing in beta state quality...whoo hooo!!! /sarcasm
