Daggers are the fastest Melee weapon in game. Damage is up there too. Backstab not sure but all weapons get extra bonus when hitting from rear ( even magic). But they are useless to Parry with, which you will do ALOT. I've been playing almost since NA launch and have NEVER seen daggers in PvP action. I've looted some nice ones from player corpses but never seen one in action. IMHO they may be viable in PvE but PvP will be much harder because of Parry.

 

But if ya want to try something different than everyone else, Daggers would be the way to go!

All good clans use ventrilo, the ones who don't lack coordination and tactics during combat.

 

I hear that alot. Good thing their is that little thing called Chat Tabs.

If all Clans in DF use Vent then I guess I'll just stay Solo. Im not going to spend hours listening to people scream into my ear.

At least he wasent being an ass about it, just the way he plays I guess. Must be too Hardcore to kill the Enemy LOL!

Not sure where Yssam is, Im currently in Monkhold or something like that by the Human Capital. But Ill have fun trying to find it!

"Then he asks me why he is Evil and how to quit being it! "

 

Oh Lord, I choked on my Monster when I read that part. Trust me when I tell you Monster through the nose IS NOT a good thing.

 

Yikes!

 

Am I the only one who does not know what "my Monster" is referring to?  Perhaps something mentioned while I was away? 

 

Anyway... whatever it is... I had a good laugh at "my Monster" reference. 

 

Holy Crap!!  

Let me clarify, Monster Khaos, it's an energy drink. 

Ahh...  

 

I'm not familiar with that drink, so you can probably appreciate the laugh I had when you said that you:

"choked on my Monster" 

 

Lol, no problem here.

 

The reason I found that funny was I used to get such a kick out of new players in UO that would be asking the same thing, usually while/after running for their lives. This happened a lot outside of Delucia, where they would run around and kill the Shepards. 

Yeah what happened was that I hit him a couple of times on accident and went Grey then he got all mad and killed me when I was working on another mob.  Then when I did my corpse run he got me again before I got to it (should have Rested first). Then I guess he tried to get back into Monkfield Bank and got zapped by towers! Of course I looted his corpse, got my stuff back plus some of his stuff (all crappy noob stuff) then he sends me a tell asking me if we can call it a truce! I said Sure since you started it, then he asked me how to "Stop being evil" (i.e. turn back to Blue) and I say Stop killing me for a start! It was quite funny in a wierd way. Its better to be Ganked by a clueless noob than a group of tw@s that likes to camp at the Starter Goblin areas!

If you see Pong Lenis (yes thats his IGN) whack him a few times then ask him "How do i stop being Evil"!

 

Wow Pong Lenis, that was my former clanmate before I left the clan awful company. We played for several months and fought in the wars that included major alliances. I wonder if he left AC also since he is in a starter town. And to answer your previous questions, the friends list is annoying imo so I don't use it. I just send a /tell to the person that I wanted to talk to. If you don't already know how to send a pm here is what you type: /tell "firstname" "lastname" "yourmessage" without the signs. Are you sure you are ready for Yssam? There are less new players around here since it is far from the starting towns and has all player owned cities and no guard towers to protect you from reds. I will get on later and tomorrow to see if you are on, Ozzy Mcfly is the name correct? I'll busy for a couple of hours.

Well he told me he was new. That was on my first day in Monkfield. Guess he was lying so I wouldn't get mad or something. Dosen't matter, I thought the whole thing was hilarious!

As far as Yssam, your prolly right. Would take a couple of hours just to get there! In a few days when Im more comfortable with game mechanics I'll start looking for a Clan. Seems like all the ones that advertise on Chat all require Vent or TS and I dont use either and refuse to. Nothing more annoying than a bunch of people trying to yell over each other! I just listen to my music collection while playing.

Yes Ozzy Mcfly is the IGN.

Hi guys, been waiting to play the game for 2/3 days now. Had it on download, but I'm struggling to get more that 10kb/s from the torrent. Any advice?

 

I got the game from Torrent and was getting between 400-900Kb/s took about 6 hours I think (was at work while DL). The longer you are connected to Seeds the better you will find your DL speeds. Maybe you need to ajust your Port Settings and your Share Ratio also. Hope that helps.

I've decided to purchase DF on the US server and give the game a go.  I have read hundreds of posts that say it's the greatest game ever and the worst game ever and very few are in between.  I'm bored of every other MMO out there right now, and $50 isn't really that big of a deal, so here goes.

I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.  Let's see what happens...

 

 

Welcome aboard! You have the perfect attitude going in to a game like this. Its not the Be-All-End-All that some say and its not a Barely-Beta POS others say. Its just..DF! Just remember that you WILL be Ganked early and often but dont let it get you down. Just keep running to the nearest Bank every so often and you'll be fine. In 4 days playing I've aquired a Small Arsenal of mostly noobish Shortswords and Armor plus a few good items from "other" means (read: Player Tombstones). So if I do get PK'ed all they get are a few throwaway items cause I'm keeping the good stuff in Bank until I find a Clan to run with (and NO I dont do the Naked thing).

Hey Wyrd, Ive been trying to add you to my Friends list but it says player not found. Do you have to be logged on to add? Im really enjoying the game and think Im ready to join a Clan, getting tired of Solo play. 

Im actually really suprised that their is no XP loss on death in DF. But since their are no levels it would be hard to decide what skills to punish.

If you beleive all the ForumFallers (I dont) the only way to gimp your character is to not macro and AFK Grind and Bloodwall like they say everbody else is doing! I have seen very few AFK'rs in my few days of playing. So the answer is No, you cant gimp your character.

Whats even more funny is that the Xfire numbers keep going down.

So if they are trying to manipulate the numbers they are loosing people faster then they can create false Xfire accounts to pad the game statistics.


 

Did it ever occur to you that maybe DF isn't losing players but xFire is losing DF players?

First, let me say I never liked xFire and I think it's a poor way to judge a game's subscription numbers. For the plain, simple fact that not everyone uses it.

Second... what?

How does that make any sense? You're saying some DF players began using xFire at first, and then they, for whatever reason, stopped? That's possible in a few cases, but when you start seeing dropping numbers en masse, it's not a very logical argument. If anything, Darkfall fans would want high xFire numbers, so they can promote the game through it saying, "Look! We have ___ number of subs while ___ game has lost ___ percent of theirs! Darkfall is the best (niche) game evar!"

 

Makes alot of sense if you actually are an Xfire user (like me). For some reason Xfire is causing issues with some people when playing DF. The Xfire forums have a few posts about lag spikes and whatnot. How many are effected who knows. I dont have any problems running it but some do. Though I do agree that Xfire isnt the best way to track sub numbers.

P.S. For some reason I cant get my Xfire Sig to work on this site. I C&P the URL like it says to but it dosent show up when I post. Any other Xfire users having same problem?

I work evenings so I get off at 11PM CST. Usually on by Midnight or so. Getting ready to log on now. Prolly have to stick around Monkhold (sp?) for a few more days to skill up before trying to make it to Yssam!

Well I died by the hand of a fellow human the first few hours of my first day, so I got ya beat LOL!

 Because of there is no lengthy tutorial system for new players, I imagine that many people don't enjoy darkfall in their first hours or days(not saying that is the only problem). There is not that much information given as newbies are thrust into a world that seems empty and boring. Therefore any new players can pm me ingame for any help/questions. Maybe some free armor/weapons/gold to get you started if you travel to the jungles of yssam and join a clan that I live with. IGN - nuclear terrorist

Hope I dont have to jump through a lot of hoops to get this account activated.

Sounds good! I'm sure I will have a few (heh) questions LOL! When I get in-game and find out what my character name is I will holler at you. I hope that oskironmaide gave his/my character a good name!

I think you bought it from me lol. :) dont forget the positive feedback buddy

No shite?! Small world huh? I just got your Email and started Torrent from DF site. Gotta go to work in a few hours but should be done when I get home. Getting about 400 kb/sec from seeds so should take about 9-11 hours to finish. Will leave feedback when I get home.

By the way, be safe while serving our country, we appreciate all you do!

I always thought that a MMO based on the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett would be great. If their ever was a world  that would be fun (and Funny) to explore it would be one that was traveling around the universe on the back of a Giant Turtle, has magic (of course!), and is flat also!



 
Next best thing - Discworld MUD

 

 

Your Clicky isn't working but Google is! Thanks for the tip, MUD's aren't my cup of tea but I may try this one.

Last thing I read, it mentioned CB is supposed to start any day now, so it is possible we may be getting our invites as soon as the last few straglers confirm. If not, not more than a couple of weeks at most, I suspect.

As for the above question of if this will be an MMOFPS- for all intents and purposes, I <think> this might be more along the lines of something like SWG- in that it has both FPS elements and melee combat. The melee combat, I picked up off of one of the class discriptions on wiki or somesuch. However, I think the focus will obviously be on the fps. Besides I would hate to be in a melee fight with someone who decides to break out a flamethrower (see the latest dev youtube video).

Either way, all your worlds are belong to meh!

 Their is a stress test starting the 24th but not sure about CB.  Game is in pre-beta stage ATM. I hope I get into CB myself, need somthing to fill the hole that SWG left.

Why would you  "write a lame answer" for your question? Really?

 

Only thing I can think of is to use your browsers History Tab and try to find the page that you wrote your lame answer on. I don't use IE (of course) but Firefox goes back quite a few days. Either that or try to remember said lame answer. Good luck!
