I have a few Questions.

1. Are they serious about a Q4 release this year, I mean its only 37 days left in this year and they have a ton of bugs, problems with server stability, and they plan two major patches which will have their own issues?

2. Any announcement of a NA server?

3. Are all the features they promised going to be in before release?

4. System spec minimum for running the game without lag? Is it possible to play the game without lag?

 

1. Sadly, they are serious.

2. No, and I don't think there will ever be NA server, there just wont be enough players.

3. More or less, if you want to call them features.  Well certainly they are features, but as of this post, most could be considered early ALPHA stage and not fully fledged features, and this includes just about everything, from combat, to UI, to controls to crafting to graphics.  They will launch Alpha MO.

4.  No clue.

Hello,

Since official forums and FAQs are proving to be useless if you are trying to learn about game's PVP, I thought I would give MMORPG community a shot.

So for those of you that actually played the game to some greater extent, tell us about PVP in Champions Online. 

1. So there is PVP outside duels?

2. Is lvling via PVP a viable option?

3. Do you gain acclaim (or whatever) from duels?

4. Do you lose anything if you lose a fight in a PVP battle?

Anything else that we should know about PVP if you assume that people know nothing about the game at all?

Thanks

Hahaha, better luck tomorrow suckers!!

Wish me the same, I didn't even see it was open, I can't even access the account page now :(

Good stuff :).  You got a lot of talent.

if you refresh more than 5 times in any 10 minute period,  it's a 10 minute ban.  Pretty simple and fair I would say.

If you don't know politics in a game, you haven't played a decent MMORPG my friend.  Politics and drama, half the fun of any good game :).  AoC has by far the best politics and the most drama ever.  love it.  Too bad the game is not as good forum PVP.

If they sold let's say 10K pre-orders (which I think they did, at least 10K), that would give them $500K+, which should be more than enough for them to buy another server or 2 and to even hire new people.  They are far from broke, unless they were in debt before launch.  And once they can handle the volume tens, if not hundreds of tousands more people will buy the game.

They should hire at least one good sound tech to redo all game sounds and add ambient sounds eventually...but redo current ones first, at least the most common sounds that annoy people non stop hehe.

Then they should hire a team of few animators to redo all the common animations...like running.

Surely they can afford that much after the launch sales.

Well, the way that Darkfall works is that whenever you log back into the game, you will always login by a bindstone, wherever you are bound.  So, since game just launched, everybody and their grandmother is bound to the same few bindstones in newbie zone.  This essentially means that the rest of the gameworld could be empty, but if your bindstone is overloaded, you will have to wait.  For future reference, move away from newbie zone and find another bindstone somewhere....once you manage to get in that is.  For the record, what race are you playing?

I was under impression that Orcs would be the biggest...damn those dogs are huge then!

I wish you could order with SOLO debit cards, it sucks.

It's named SOLO for a reason, all alone

:D

couldn't resist

Well, they haven't really recovered fully yet, billing is still an issue, but I'm glad to hear you can have such experience in the first few hours of gameplay.  I hope they get their billing sorted out soon.

Well, if it's indeed true that there were 5.5K users in-game at once (which I don't believe just yet), and this is AT LAUCH (terrible launch at that) where almost all people are confined to select few areas, it is easy to believe that few months, or even weeks, down the read when they get things under control and when people spread out of the newbie zones, they will be able to handle 10K no problem.

The only people who would downplay the seriousness of an exploit, or try to quiet the voices of reason calling for a wipe are those with an agenda. I.E. Exploiters themselves.

Anyone else wants a fair playing field.

 

Speak for yourself.  I'm not in, and I probably wont be for at least few weeks(and no I'm not in a guild nor do I know anybody that plays DF currently), if game survives that long anyway, but seriously, you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill.  If you guys can't catch up to a 10 hours gameplay headstart, I don't know, MMOs are not for you really. 

I wonder how much will people cry when they open NA servers (if ever), because transferred toons will be so far ahead it will be unfair to newbies...and at this point these guys will be pretty far ahead of the newbies for sure.  Should they wipe again?  Whatever.

Stop whining already, get over it.  I'm so tired of whiners and 'harcore carebears' who can't handle the load.  Wow, some players had like 10 hours gameplay headstart!  Doom!  I'll never catch up!  Jesus.

I don't think they have a TEST server, where they can apply the patch and test it, they have to do it on live.  So they make a patch, take the server down, patch it, test the server, if bugs not fixed or more bugs created, keep the server down while trying to fix it on the go, trial and error style...with live server.  I think that's the real reason they keep the servers down so much.

I am looking for real information  on the ETA of there store and when i will be able to buy this game.

there forums are down so there no help

and most of the post here are just bashing the dev team anyway so little help here

trolls do not reply i am posting this cause i am sick of seeing all the troll post about this game already, i am a gamer and i will make up my own mind, i don't need to see any more negative comments about this game.

 

Like the othe poster said, there is no official ETA.  My personal guess would be on Monday, not later than Wednesday next week.  And that's very optimistic on my end.

I can haz ur stuffz?  Oh wait...you haven't played the game yet.

Haha, sorry but this thread is just pure QQing.  Get over it, pick yourself up and kick some ass.  Or not.  Just stop QQing.

Now could you PLEASE disable that awfull music for a while, as annoying as DF sounds are, I rather listen to that.
