I'm curious to see what changed about pvp and trading to convince even a handful of servers to riot. It's not a good idea to turn upside a playstyle people are used to. If that's what happened Jagex should just change things back. Hopefully this is a legitimate complaint unlike the way people whine about the game going 3D...

then how come it's not even competing in the market.

nah not you, pstruth sounds really familiar.

not saying he is but luca has been on these forums =)

and i've been a part of some PS convo's

although i have sorta stopped following PS as of late.

hi luca

every post i make about runescape gets deleted...

so i'll just say that i very dislike this game.

cool, i can post 5 words too!

oops!!! already over 5 words!

like i don't know or play this game

I've played FlyFF for a long time and I have to say it's a very boring game. The name is very misleading, the game is named Fly for Fun yet flying plays almost no role in the game. You have flying surfboard looking things and magic brooms and they are only used for basic transportation. Theres no quests, no combat, nothing assosiated with flying so you'll spend most of your time walking. Also the game is very insecure, hacking is very rampit, for examble seeing a level 1 newbie go into the arena and wipe out a whole big group of level 60+ players in a gigantic explosion of magic, things like that. the game has GMs but they do little to no work at all. They usualy just sit in one of the towns broadcasting a lot of bad jokes.

Another bad point to the game is updates. The game it's self is rarly updated with new stuff. 99% of the time all you'll see is new stuff added to the game's cash shop which does absolutly nothing and is very over priced. As far as items and equipment in game, money in the game is almost impossible to come by and higher level equipment is very expensive. Usualy only used by players who spend thousands of dollars a month on cash shop items to sell in game for 30 to 100 million in in-game money. basicly the only way you'll ever get past the first class promotion is if your willing to spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the next 4 years or so playing the game.

oh really now.

since meng there has been no hacking ^.^

since when does anyone walk around o.O (that would be just retarded, everyone flies)

i'll admit maybe some stale jokes -.- but GM's are active and the game gets weekly content.

and i didn't play 24/7 to get 2nd job change, you just don't know how to play video game my non-friend, and in this world that... is very sad.

aren't they already releasing starcraft 2?

starcraft mmo would be a waste and pointless.

doesn't blizzard already dominate the market? if they released another mmo they would probably doom themselves. they need to wait

i duno. i don't like instancing that doesn't feel very mmo'ish to me and you can't trade equipment... how cool is that.

What baffles me about Dark and Light is how and why their servers (or rather server) are still live?

 

I don't see how they making any money given it's still free-to-play and must only have a handful of people playing.

 

Is there some litigation (I know they're being sued or so last I heard) or financial obligation they're avoiding by keeping the game running?   That's the only reason I could think of. 

oh yeah, dark and light 2:

 

they can contact to the great success of dark and light 1 :D

because they made so many players happy with DnL 1 that everyone is asking for more :P

LOL!  the sad thing is i actually had a pretty faithful following of this game up until launch, was accepted into closed beta along with a bunch of guildmates. long live SoF

can't believe how bad it flopped, once the highest anticipated game

any new star wars mmo would be sweet ^.^

but i don't think it would necessarily have to be star wars for it to be a success.

bioware had me at NWN.

 If you consider PVP a form of interuption to PVE - the answer is quite obvious...choose a ruleset/game that caters to your PVE playstyle. To me, PVE is an interuption to PVP - thus why I'm here, and not in the WOW forums.

Darkfall is a 'player skill' based game, not item or level based - meaning a noob does have a "snowballs chance" against a veteran - but you know that already, right?

Regardless, I really don't know why there are so many carebears on this forum to begin with - did i miss something? Isn't there like a million MMO's catering for YOUR PLAYSTYLE already?

Note: The dev's have already stated there will NOT be a watered down or safer ruleset.

 

I don't consider it an interuption. You misread me, I said that "many" consider it.

And you also misread my intentions. PvP isn't an interuption to PvE, unless you are doing something in the PvE side and are forced into PvP.

And yes, I did already know that about Darkfall.

You seem to know a lot about my playstyle, yet, I have never impied anything about it... I simply post in this thread to encourage discussion and debate.

The OP created a topic that was very pointed, combative, and with a biased poll. I'm simply trying to show an alternate perspective, and thus encourage healthy debate. Also, I'm bored at work :)

I am not trying to be combatitve and rude, but receive much of it in response to my postings. That's fine by me, it only further adds to the stigma that FFA PvP / Darkfall fanbois are really just @sshat gankers.

Am I saying that all Darkfall fanbois are? No, of course not. You are making that point for me.

There are plenty who are excited for Darkfall so they can form great and noble guilds, conquering lands and keeping their charges safe from bandits and other enemies (i.e. @sshat gankers)

Even using the term "carebear" in the way you do, and many on this forum including the OP do, makes you sound.. rather childish...

Attack the posters arguement, not the poster.

Anyway.. back to something on topic... The big question I have is: will be if you can advance your character 100% through PvP in Darkfall. That is, will you be able to advance your RPG skills by fighting exclusively with players? Obviously you can make money and gear etc. from looting others that you kill, but will you advance your skills through PvP?

yes

a mod should close this thread because it's

and since when is there a system to stop mass pk LOL

ww2online sux -.-

lol

i'm looking forward to this game as much as anyone else (besides dumb people who want a no pvp server however much sense that makes)

CHESE DOODLZ PLOX

carebears shouldn't even be playing this game, it's not for them, so why barge in and complain already?

that's just dumb. play something else, don't just try and change a whole game concept.

 

Nice try, Pal.  PvPers having been jacking up PvE games for the last ten years.  Kinda sucks doesn't it to have someone stepping on your playground?  Trust me, in the end the PvE crowd will get their own servers (or at least servers with alternative rule sets) or this bad boy will be self-published. OP, I can tell you've never worked for a PR firm.  That poll is so biased it bleeds written by a Darkfall dev.

 

oh really. if it's your playground why are you complaining about the concept of pvp. because it has pretty graphics so it should change it's whole design to cater to pve only? darkfall itself wouldn't work. there will be no pve server period. YOU are wrong.   if you can't handle it go somewhere else.

"Don't you fear that out of control player killers will ruin the game? No. Being a random player killer of evil alignment is definately possible, but also an extremely hard career. You will have enemies everywhere, and will have a hard time finding a safe city to sell/buy in. Also keep in mind that Darkfall is a very harsh world, deep into the dark ages and then some. This is a place were people will kill you if they get half a chance, loot you, take your equipment, and then brag about it to their friends. If you find it hard to get by on your own, join a clan, and you have instant protection, friends and allies. Grow strong, and go out and punish those that have done you wrong.

Remember that people can kill you, but you can also kill them. It goes both ways. Someone being rude, and refuse to leave you alone? Kill them. Someone stealing from you? Kill them. Someone camping your favourite part of the woods? Kill them.

We are not saying killing people is nice, a good idea, or even legal - we are just trying to prepare everyone for a really great game - a game were YOU decide what you want to do, and how you will interact with other people."

so with pve only game = teh failz

 

That is your opinion.  With one ruleset, it will end up having the same subscriber base as Dark and Light.  We'll discuss this again IF this game ever launches.

 

that's not my opinion i took that from the website. LOL

does this game even have anti-griefing? i havn't read anything about that in any official posts or faqs. it was quoted that if you want to kill someone kill them. doesn't say you have to be or do or have so and so to do that. just do it

i liek milk

they should be scared of getting their server files stolen, not that fact that he wanted to play beta so bad -.-
