Played the game, enjoyed it , then realized that was it. What I m saying is it got boring extremly fast. Played with a good group of people only 3 are left playing, we all had that been there done that feeling with SB. Only thing is we found SB WAY better. In the end we all sold our accounts :) To each their own, it was just meh to me and most of my long time guild mates.

Yeah, I get that feeling, too.  It feels like AC.. but.. in AC everything was NEW and seeing a Tusker/Olthoi for the first time was great.  But until I got to see the scary stuff in the high end, I know I have to kill the low level stuff to build up.

I am in a clan.  The thing is, they gave out the pre-order link on our forums, and I wasn't ready to pre-order darkfall. iw anted them to work out the bugs first.   But, my clan didn't.  so, the majority of them are out fighting high level stuff, have mounts and tons of gear.  I don't like things handed to me, so I told them I'd work up to that point.

I also don't like macroing.. and with the starter weapon fix, it makes is sort of impractical, although I could just go into part of our city and do it.. I guess that wouldn't be so bad..

Don't macro. We have enough cheaters in the game as it is.

Regarding gear, mounts, etc., you can join your clan's groups when they go PVE farming and get yourself geared up, without them actually giving you anything. For mounts, just spend a couple hours herbing and have one of your clanmates make you a mount with your steedgrass.

Wasn't hard for me to get, played for a day and decided I liked it, but just didn't have the time for it. Extremely time consuming so it doesn't work well with having a job and wife, and a life outside of my office.

It's true.  At first I thought I could just pick it up, run around and kill things, but the more I play it the more time it seems to take up.  From going from one place to another (1.5 hours from yssem to the area I'm at now.. which isn't even half way across the map).  That's a long ways to go.. and if you die.. You're pretty much screwed..

The time it takes up to level skills is long.  Especially if you have a starter weapon.  No real point to playing if you only have a starter weapon.. at least not long periods of time.

 

I have a wife, a job, and a 3month-old son. i highly recommend macroing the dull stuff while you do RL stuff so you can do the fun stuff with the time leftover.

Very interesting comment coming from you, considering the discussion we had in the other thread. I thought the systems we fun and rewarding, so macroing was not needed?

I also have a wife, I as well have 3 kids, and I m a chef at a multi care facility/manager. In otherwords I work alot. That said macroing in a game to keep up is a joke, if you don t have time to play a game then don t. Macroing is a joke IMO.

I played DF for about 2 weeks at first i thought hey maybe this could work, then marcoing and speed hacking started. Well it happens, then it just kept dragging on. Iam not going to play a game that i spend 4 hours a day playing havesting fight or whatever and this fruit that dosnt want to put the time in sets up a macro program i understand there is marcoing in alot of game but when a game is based on crafted armor and crafted items it sucks for the person that spend the time to the person that is lazy. I do understand that people have jobs family but its a game to be enjoyed by all if u have time then play if not then dont. Speed hacking dont even have to say much about that how long it take before they do something about it 3 people rolling 20 plus people that dont want to hack hmm BS. The game play not bad it has ok graphics and some good quests. The faction for the races is broke someone that kills other races for awhile can then go back and murder his race wtf the logic in that. Dont get me wrong i love pvp and pve as long as it fair or atleast semi.   

One more thing DF promised hundred of skills and spells and whatever else. There about 40 for each lol that a fare cry from the hundred they promised. For Solo play there is non or at best very little. Guild up or Die.

I played for the first free month. I was looking forward to the game since 2005 but over the last year i lost my hope. I was pleasantly surprised and had a lot of fun in my time.

The PvP and exploring the world, sneaking around, stealthing up on people was fun and exciting, but very time consuming. In the end i just wasnt bothered leaving town i was just chatting, so i decided to sell my account and maybe come back later (hopefully with some way to sell stuff other than "WTS", as i like trading but not spamming chat all day and waiting around all day).

Also in the end i didnt feel my character was progressing much. It didnt feel like many of the skills made a difference at all, although i appreciate that a newbie can beat a high skilled character, I wanted it to be more of an rpg where i could shape my character. Although its a non-class based system nearly everyone has the same skills and fights the same ie archery, side swipe melee and mana missile.
