Then you leave the game on all night, and when you play the next day, his running skill will be up.

This is pretty much the way use it to improve it games work.

LOL .. and people think quest-leveling is no fun ...

3) Create more PVE mobs and more locations of them (too many players not enough mobs)

 

Anyways i will update this in a few days.

great post but just like so many posts before, I dont get this!

there are plenty of monsters in game. i cant understand how people are walking past all the mobs!

i know the mobs are not as packed as in wow. but the mobs are closer to each other then for in example Uo

I too made the plunge, both in EU originally and now on the NA server. This is THE best failure I've played in a long time. I hope I can find more failures like this in the future.

Say hello to me in-game. Of course, I'll kill you and take your stuff, but that's just our way of saying, "Hi". I promise only to do it once...

Don't say you like the game, the trolls will swarm you for enjoying a good game

Honestly..............some DF fans have become so bitter lately with the rather quick demise of the player base. No one is going to "swarm you" for enjoying DF, ppl wil "swarm you" for making assadine posts like that. Most peeps problems are with the game it's self or the behavior of the developers. DF does catch it's share of critics, but I think that is to be expected with the long development time and the promises made and not kept. So don't take things so personally, people have different opinions, learn to deal with it.

These are the things that need improvement

1) PVE, they need more World Lore and more active quests.  (if it continues to go for PVP gamers it will fail)

2) Update locations on map (arent enough viewable)

3) Create more PVE mobs and more locations of them (too many players not enough mobs)

 

Anyways i will update this in a few days.

Great first impression OP.  I am still have the same feeling after 4 months now.  As for these improvements.

1) DF is designed with main focus on PvP , seek yourself  and be ready for PvP at any time and after you got familiar with the game switch over to PvP as your main activity as for content / Lore / income etc.

As for now, follow the quest lines there are quests at various NPC and theNPC at  capitals can provide you with the "title quests"2

2) DF was initially meant not to give much information out. It was meant you going out and explore the world and keep yourself notes about what you discovered.

3)I am not sure if you left the beginner areas and got yourself to exploring yet. Also many mobs spawn dynamically if you getting in a specific area so maybe you passed empty mobspawns and left  mobs "right and left" behind you ?  The world is not cluttered with mobs but i dont have  a prob with finding PvE if i want to.

after playing for a day i dont understand why ppl hate this game. its got pretty graphics and combat is really diffrent and fun. so i guess its diffrent from person to person as to how they experience the game. for me its just fun and i guess thats all we need otherwise we would find somethin else 2do. but play before you judge.

I do not think that folk "hate this game" as you say, but more that they get annoyed by some of the DF fans claims about how brilliant and fun the game is, and that anyone who disagrees should go play WoW because they do not have the high Inteligence necessary to find fun in the game.  They fail to see issues that have caused players to cancel their account, and can not understand how any one with an ounce of sense who enjoys full loot pvp could even suggest that the game fails to entertain after a certain amount of play.

I played for about 4 months, would have kept my account open longer just as a way to sponsor the game giving devs the time to add content and fluff, anything to make the necessary steps to become competitive enjoyable, or give you something fun to do when you dont really feel like looking for pvp .   The first few weeks were ok, but play soon became rather boring.  I only got enjoyment out of PvP and sieging, but needed to pve to become competitive and did not want to do what those who hate the gameplay did -leave my computer on all day/night macroing or at the blood wall, also refused to hack or exploit mobs as so many did.

Anyway, there you have it ... my story.  I keep up with this forum for 2 reasons still. 

First, I still hope to see the game live up to its full potential and be given a reason to return.  

Second, I do not like seeing fellow gamers being given reports on a game which are plainly misleading or wrong.  I have a huge problem with that and beleive this is done with the purpose to get folk to plop down their $50.00 to create income for the developers.  

Keep it honest and informative and you would see a very different DF forum.

after playing for a day i cant say i am impressed. its diffrent but not special i hope pvp and seiges will prove to be good. (if i find a proper clan)

The game is brilliant, and if a fan doesn't validate another persons feelings it's quite childish to become annoyed.   A gamer having a different experience may not relate to the "issues" that led one to cancel their account, and that is not the same as "failing to see".    One can turn that around and say those who don't currently play "fail to see".   Silly.  If the game isn't for a person, great; there are plenty of other game to play.     Odd people stay annoyed so long over a game they don't continue to play.

It's unfortunate, because the state of the game now, and at release in NA was far superior to the game you played.

Keeping it honest means to put more weight on those opinions from people who are playing the game in its current state on a new server, then on the experiences on EU, which were VERY different.

The skill system is just a glorified Level system. You'll eventually realize that.

Character progression is the core mechanic for MMOs. You'll eventually realise that.

many of us think that WOW is like a mindless, repetitive job that you're expect to pay for but that doesn't mean one should hang out on the WOW forums whining about how bad the game is unless one is desperately short of attention IRL.

some people love the things i hate about WOW, good for them. What YOU find a horrible feature others probably find refreshing, or great.

get over it.

So I have to ask, you find CS knife fighting refreshing?

And no I dont hate the game but the combat imo is far to simple.

If you know of any good videos that show me to be wrong, please link and Ill be more than happy to take a look and just maybe be pleasantly surprised.
