The Murder Herd (my guild) got atttacked this evening by over 8 separate guilds working together. I'd say the numbers were well over 200. I got lag for the first time since I started so I dropped my visual quality from 1600x1200 on high to 1024x768 on high, and my lag immediately stopped. The clans were the Old Timers Guild, CLAW, Severnity Now, Vindicators, Awful Company, and a couple others. We were attacked while at our guild city and managed to hold them off, pushing them both north towards the middle of Agon. Eventually our enemies ported out or ran off, and the battle finally ended.

Definitely one hell of a time, and I would like to thank all guilds that participated in this awesome battle. By far my best experience in Darkfall so far (seeing about 100 mana missels and 50 people firing arrows flying in your direction was definitely an amazing experience).

Sorry for being drunk and posting this, but I wanted to let you all know that relatively large battles are now happening on a daily basis. We saw 2 clans declare siege status against two other clans this evening, and they are the first 2 sieges to happen on the server.

So shit is already starting to get dirty. Looks like I'll be up until 7 A.M. again (thank god I don't have class or work tomorrow ).....

This is from one of the opposing guilds we fought:

"
Both the server and client stood up extremely well with what might have been one of the largest battles to take place in Darkfall. Client crashes during the actual fighting were virtually nonexistent though we did run into a problem during our retreat where everyone starting crashing when we crossed a certain section in the forest.

Framerate varied depending on peoples' machines but most people had at least 20 FPS during even the biggest fights and some had well over 50 FPS during the entire encounter. Lag was also not an issue. Out of the 50 people in the Ventrilo channel I heard almost none complaining about desync issues or lag.

Overall it was a great time. PvP is a bit chaotic at the moment since everyone chooses to melee over using archery or magic but it's still immensely fun. "

Here are some screenshots on the opposing guilds since I still can't take any. Definitely an amazing MMO experience.

Wow...that must have been one hell of a battle. Gratz on holding the fort.

Oh and the pics look awesome...thanks for posting.

Sounds pretty fun, looking forward to *hopefully* being able to get my hands on the game.. sometime relatively soon. Seems I'm missing out.

Wow... I post pictures and a decent battle story, and with 215 views, only 4 posts total?

Guess this thread wasn't troll worthy enough hahahahaha.

honestly?  something along those lines.

Sorry must agree, Df has launched and now that it has dropped below even the worst F2P games there is not alot to talk about now.. if it ever moves up on the list to even a half good P2P game then we will talk more,, Sorry not really troll worthy anymore..

Why do the rabid fanboys keep coming here telling us about these massive battles that are getting bigger everyday. We are not interested and DF for many of us is a heap of dated shite. Instead of telling us ,why don't you maske a vid of these 200 people battles instead of showing screenshots that look like its more like 50 people and not 200.

Lets see a vid or stfu and post your shit on the main DF forums where the rest of your fanboys are waiting.

Screens is all you fanboys ever post. Let's see a vid of these 200 plus battles instead of screenshots. You can't make a vid because you know damn well that it's not 200 people and the server is laggy as hell with more that 50 people pvping.

nothing enticing in those screens.

After all, when it comes to computer games, Graphics>gameplay (that's what I've come to conclude as a personal opinion, so spare me the comments)

No, I didn't make a video because I was more interested in defending our city.

Look at how much "hate" has been posted in these two pages alone, do your really think I'd take the time to make a video for you? <Snip> - Mod Edit.

Hahahah.... absolutely not. Only reason  I posted screenshots is because they weren't me that took me.

But stay delusional.

are you here to sell this game or something?

Keep`em coming. Your guild have delivered some good pics and vids for us waiting to get in. You make the waiting less painful so thanks alot. 

I just wish some of the larger guilds build a big ship just to make the haters quiet for good.

What makes you believe that is the focus of hate regarding Darkfall? If anything, haters are commenting on the poor design of the game, not just missing features (which, btw, are not missing).

This is one of the better posts in the mmorpg-darfall forum imo. I'm sure PvP-wise things are fairly ok with this game

I'd like to see more information on some other features of what i expect from a sandbox game:

* crafting and stuff like shops and auction.

* PvE, badass monsters and dungeons.

* social interaction, places to hang out and meet up. Free housing, Guild housing and stuff like that.

Ok then I`m sorry. It`s just that some of us don`t care alot about design.

Lets say some guild build a big ship and 50 players went onboard and sailed away into the sunset. If that happen you would have to say that was the best designed ship you had ever seen in a fantasy mmorpg, because ships in your dreams don`t count.

Yup, you can craft pretty much anything in game. No shops or AH. 

 

* PvE, badass monsters and dungeons.

Yup, got that, just be sure to watch your back while pve'ing, I can tell you from experience. 

* social interaction, places to hang out and meet up. Free housing, Guild housing and stuff like that.

No individual housing, yes for al the rest, though people are more concerned with building their skills, atm.
