Forgive me, but my beta account is still not working so I can not login to the beta forums.. so I'm still in the dark.

Simple question:

When will character wipe take place and servers go down in preperation for Tuesday?

Thanks!

gotcha, thanks for the feedback everyone.

I've been doing quest lines for the story, haven't done any IAs. They are *that* good on xp huh?

might as well go ahead w/ the expansion purchase then.

For anyone else who wants to know, you do NOT have access to the new souls, cloak slot, and several other things.

Hello all! 

Easy and quick question:

I am currently in my low 40s and I would like to postpone purchasing storm legion only if there is nothing I can take advantage of now while I finish out my 40s (I'm casual player and it may take some time for me to hit 50).

So the question is simple: what features/content would I be missing if I do not purchase until I hit 50?

Thank you!

I still have fond memories of Rift, however I was just burned out on the "themepark" type of gameplay at the time. I'm looking to get back into this world as they have done so many things right.

One of the things I was looking forward too prior to launch was open world pvp that made an actual difference, as in one faction taking control of the outpost, their vendors, quests, NPCs, ect ect

My question is have they expanded upon this Openworld PVP where it actually mattered? I'm an old school pre-Atlantis DAOC player and nothing I miss more today than open world pvp that made a difference for the faction that took control.

Thanks!

I would assume the possibility of looting something really nice is another great reason to pvp, correct?

(Thanks for the discussion/replies and keeping it civil, keep em coming!)

Well this is interesting, first 2 replies seem like opposites.

I was reading the first reply and was beginning to jump up and down for joy as that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Then after reading second reply, there doesn't seem to be much action going on as far as players/clans/alliances fighting for control of areas/resources ect ect...

So which is it?

I hate to use the cliche: "end game" but I didn't want the subject line to be super long.

I'm enjoying my stay in Darkfall thus far. It is very "sandboxy" with players building and there's a feeling that everything is really controlled by the player and not NPCs.

It has a very old school feel to it, and I really like the freshness of old school :)

My questions are quite simple and I'm trying to find someone, who has experienced it, that can give a little detail.

#1) While researching DF, I read somewhere about "guilds fighting for control over resources and/or lands". My question: is there sieges, batttles, fighting ect for control of resources? Do guild "stake claim" to areas in attempts to drain the area of resources then move on after it is drained? Is that all true? Details?

#2) Does the "end game" consist of controlling dymanic resource spawns, and controlling land masses? If I'm understanding this correctly can someone provide details about this?

If this is the case I am willing to invest time/money into the game as that type of "end game" I have not had the pleasure of being a part of since the old SWG days or DAOC's olden days of keep seiging for control of artifacts/relics and such.

Basically, I'm needing some details on the "end-game" and if replies tell me it's NOT about raiding the same instance dungeons 1000x times for gear then I will jump for joy and rejoice in the name of the MMO gods.

Thank you!

Would Love a Key!!!! Old MMOer really wanting to see what SE has to offer!

Well if they are running debugging software in the background and i think they are. we wont see the effect of it turned of until 22nd or 30th sep.

Wondering tho if all servers will be located in jap after release because that would suck

That would suck really bad. If memory serves me right, you all can probably tell me, that's the way FFXI was..... wasn't it?

Not yet, hopefully open beta client will speed things up... on the ui side of things... the mouse won't be fix til after release.

Did you read this somewhere from devs or is this just assumed?

(if it's assumed, I would agree with you. If it's from the dev's, that's a damn shame)

I guess it's just one of those OCD type things... but I just HATE to move a mouse and it not move w/ me but yet a second or two later...

ughh!!! but yes, it did get a little better today.

In my opinion, soloing is much easier than before.. however, it is much more beneficial to group with others.

In my opinion this is EXACTLY what it should be like. For example: old DAOC.. I could solo for weeks, but it was MUCH more beneficial to group with others.

This is what I want as I play an MMO to be a part of the "multiplayer" not soloing day in and day out. I have Fable for that :)

Game runs smooth, graphics look great, FPS Is really high...

All of that being said I can move the mouse from point A to point B and it takes forever for it to catch up. Now I know that everyone has already stated this, and I too have sumitted reports to SE and offered to try anything as this is the MAJOR fallback I have with the game currently.. It drives me freakin' crazy.

My question is, has anyone at all found a magic config change or some magic setting to reduce UI lag to nothing? I sure hope so, because right now it's so annoying that I just simply cannot play.

I'm only on the trial right now, but I can see some of the feel from AC.  I have a L45 Warrior stuck in Baishi and was a Loong time player back then.  I'm not sure how I feel for this game yet except surprised.  I related to it another buddy of mine that played AC along with me as EVEonLand. 

Its got a steep learning curve, but i'm definitley No dissapointed with it.

That's exactly how I feel.

And they're busting their arses to squash bugs and improve the game in every way.

The thought of AC type character progression, in-debth crafting, and the possibility of a SWG like housing system gives me chills.
