They are also addidng an entire new line of mounts to the already bloated herd of Neo Pets available .. Now joining the Lobster ,Spider ,and Plant thingy ,and assorted mounts will be your chance to earn your very own Looney Toon mount ,So if you ever wanted to mount Squidly Didley ,Bugs ,Daffy or even Porky Pig the chance will soon be yours ..

It's not like Mythic doesn't know this. I suggest coming back in a month or two once patch 1.1 comes. They've already adjusted exp for PvE in Tier 3, already DOUBLE exp for PvP kills in OPEN RvR, and they'll add even more incentives to open world RvR to make scenarios what they wanted in the first place: an option for people who don't have much time, but who want to feel like they're contributing. Right now it's the main method of RvR. Mythic should also maximize the effect and importance of Tier control so that when morons realize their scenarios make the control bar go up .01%, and then they see capturing a Keep makes it go up 75%, they'll go take a Keep.

The beginnings are always rough for MMOs, no matter how much time in development or whatever. While the game is solid, I think another month or two wouldn't have hurt. Even if it's average to you (and others here) it's also fun.

 

Sure Mythic knows the problem, but I am not so convinced of their solution just yet.  200% of zero is still zero.  Scenarios provide instant pvp action, more balanced teams, guaranteed experience and renown.  RvR is still a complete gamble of time that could result in wasted hours of gameplay if you do not encounter an enemies. 

 

Also I think it is a bit over the top to call people morons for not battling over keeps in T1-T3.  Most people are more concerned with character developement and gaining levels at that stage than trying to move the PvP meter to open up city sieges they most likely will not be able to partake in anyhow. 

 

The incentives just don't match up enough yet to motivate people to get out into the scrum. 

   I have yet to walk into open RvR and not encounter  enemies and Exp and Renown are also guaranteed .. Lol you actually get a lot more in a night of raiding Keeps than you will in Scenarios..

   Dont do scenarios ,, Open RvR is where all the fun is ... Anyone who planned on going into this game to to costantly grind PvP scenarios or is in game and continues to do it.. you are making your game .. you are making it the grind of Scenarios ... They arent necassary ... MOve out to the open RvR the compettion is much better ...

  Get rid of the Companion mechanic they are boasting about .. this will be a western fail with it.

   Really dont matter what they do all the SWG vets will not get the game they long for and the tears will still be flowing here.

Clearly only the insane or delusional think that DF is 100% revolutionary.

In this age of MMOs it is probably impossible to create a game (that would actually be fun) that has 100% original concepts.  Every MMO has taken core concepts from the pioneers in the genre, and DF will be no different.

However they combine many concepts in a truly unique way. 

Warning:  While i have played many MMOs, i certainly have not played them all, so let me know if any of the following is off.

I have never seen a MMO that has FPS/Oblivion style combat COMBINED with full loot anywhere pvp.  Planetside is an example of a game that was FPS and imo was very fun, and there have been a number of full loot games, but none that i can recall that had both.

This may not be 100% original, but it is definitely original in today's trend of MMOs:  AI that is dynamic like DF claims to have (and at this point after they have proven plenty, it is definitely now a case of innocent into proven guilty so please dont say they havent proven they have this yet).  Im talking about once you kill a mob, its gone.  WoW, WAR, EQ2, Vanguard, and other current day MMOs all have camps and mobs that respawn, and some have instanced dungeons which allow you to safely bring a group in to your private dungeon.  DF has AI, on paper, that will grow in size if they go uncheck, and will not respawn once cleared out.  Mobs that will also loot you!!!  And please again lets try to be mature here and until the game comes out and doesnt have these features, assume they are in.  If they arent on release, feel free to call me out.

I could go on but my main point im trying to make is that the level headed fans are not considering DF to be 100% original.  But in today's market they are definitely branching out with a combo of original ideas, and taking combinations of past successful games.

 

  Im looking forward to Darkfall and hope it releases with the features promised but ... As far as mobs looting you UO did this 1st and i thought this was an awesome feature ..More games should do this...

  Like i said 8 months ago 1 year from launch Warhammer will have 3 million subs many will be WoW refugees ... WoW most certainly will feel the bite of War ....

                  Dam shame EQ2 is heading  more and more to catering to the whiny Gimme Bear...

                           they are slowing removing the challenge..

                         Why not just make everyone lvl 80 and be done with it thats what the lil cry babys want

                     I have a 50 Ranger and unsubbed after the farse of GU5 what a load of bunk ... I would return if they added content and remove all the Childrens Neo Pet mounts...

             To lil to late , and get rid of the F$^$&ing ridiculous Neofreakin Pet mounts they implemented in GU5.

ok, lets put the issue of graphics aside for a min. in the video (many of us know they are crap)

ok... with the subject of graphics out of the way, everyone else talks about this world changeing game play. Besides a bunch a guys running around in circles in a FFA match like Quake, what did the video really show us?

1) did it show an awsome game UI system? NO

2) did it show PvE quest content? NO

3) did it show an awsome skill system? NO

4) did it show a tons of awsome dungeons? NO

5) did it show a great crafting system? NO

6) did it show epic enconters with huge in game mobs? NO

7) did it show lots of really cool gear? NO

8) did it show a great guild system? NO

9) did it show player houses or guild halls? NO

10) did it show a cool looking game world with tons of different plants, monsters and different envirments? NO

11) did it show awsome partical effects for spells and weapon attacks? NO

12) did it show a new innovative combat system? NO

13) did it show new innovations of any kind? NO

 

I am looking for the game to end all games myself, just like all of you. DarkFall has promised alot of really cool features and if they had any of them in game yet I think they would be the first people to try to show them off. The fact is this game is not going to come through with all the promises it has made.

do i wish it will? YES

do i wish DarkFAll fans get everything they ever wanted out of this game? YES

will they? by the looks of everything so far I would honestly have to say NO

 

Hate me if you like, but I have only posted what I see, and it is the plan OLD crap that has been around for years. Nothing new here, move along.

 LMAO you just described Freeworld .. get a grip .. its just another game ...Nothing to see here folks move along..

   Heh a harry potter MMO would fail with the MMO community miserably.. But would be funny as heck to watch all the fools dance about it during its development ,then meltdown at launch .. Bad idea .

   I said at launch AoC would be lucky to have 80k subs by November .(They laughed)..Im stickin to it..

                  AoC needs a

 You get what you give.

                         i have 2 friends who joined us on Unrest 4 weeks ago and last night at guild nite they both hit 58...

                             Never really experienced any grind in EQ2 plenty of quests to keep you busy.. Hope that helps.

                      you get what you give.

OK here we go starting with:

1. The graphics quality of AOC

Everyone has to admit the graphic quatlity of this game is really what is groundbreaking.

2. The expansiveness and open play of EVE

Has to be the biggest game ever

3. The PVP excitment and group PVP of DAOC (includes seige)

What can you say, first game to introduce seige and set the benchmark.

4. The Sandbox of Ultima Online

Seriously has to be the most customisable game ive ever played. Especially houseing and endgame.

5. The Melee combat system of AOC(revison 1.2)

Ill give AOC that the melee combat system is something that i am starting to miss from mmorpg's now in some ways. I think its more to do with white damage swings. (this is the melee system at launch not the mess it is now)

6. The story line of LOTRO

Have to admit the immersive story of LORTO is very good, and the functionatlity that they made it. Want to wait till later to get immersed, fine come back when your ready.

7.  The gear of WOW.

Ok well this is a positive negative, i beleive its overboard now. But yes the choices in WOW for gear will make your head explode.

8. The GUI of LOTRO.

I think this is the first online MMORPG that physcially comes out of the box that lets you move around 90% of the GUI to your liking and to scale it.

9. The character customisation of Ultima Online.

This game gives you an open slatter when you start. You dont choose a class in this game you make one. FYI for the unitiated this game is 10 years old now.

10. Best implementation of servers worldwide goes to Ultima Online.

UO was the first and only company to still have a gaming server in the southern hemisphere. Aust/NZ and its island rejoyce. Warhammer has implemented a southern hemisphere server! <3

So guys whats your top 10.

<my vain attempt to spruce up these AOC forums :P>

 

mmmmm = Darkfall?

My copy of conan is coming today and I am seriously concerned.  The ranting on these forums aside and even if you brush them aside with "they are the minority" you cannot ignore that the quiet majority have voted this game so low.

I am tempted to leave it in its wrapper for 6 months.

(I used to play world of warcraft and loved it however I got a sparky new 8800gt which has issues with the game like many people and Im hoping wotlk will sort them out.)

Several things worry me about aoc, one is the extreme control on the official forums.  Blizzard whether you hate their game or not allow pretty much freedom of speech unless you are seriously abusive.  Whether they respond to certain issues though is another matter at least they allow people to voice their concerns.

It seems that the game is very detached from its community which is a shame and is essential to a successful operation.

I am an EU player and am waiting for that game with the X-Factor that I had in the first 2 years of Darkage of Camelot and 1st year of planetside.

                 You see all the sh!# ,you smell it ,you know its there, its your own fault if you step in it now...

   Yea cmon people 1 seed is terrible ... Plzz seed.

   If they pay me i would consider it other wise...... it.
