 I've played on a PvE and a PvP server, mostly the latter and I've only had negligible difference in leveling times as a result of ganking.

 Warriors and Elementalists are excellent at tanking when done correctly.

Monk is the best at healing in my opinion simply because of Divine favor. I can't express the number of times that little bit of extra healing has come in handy.

 OP, I don't plan on buying WAR for some time but this thread is a serious fail.

It's because the game is sooo generic and doesn't interest anyone and the ugly character models don't do anything to help, even the new ones are god damn ugly.

Oh speak for yourself.

Again, many seem to forget that the DF hypemeter is plagued with "lol vapores"  and "crap" from people who have not "looked into it" like you say.  However I have no problem with that.  If they have no interest in the game at this time, their assessment is correct. 

Im sure some non-DF fans have multiple accounts, and im not saying that it hasnt happened, just not in the massive amounts that people are trying to make it seem. 

And the comments that you describe as "idiots", its a hype meter, there to judge hype for a game, not a review meter for people to leave detailed reviews.  I look at stargate worlds and instantly know i will never play it.  Shadow of legend, hello kitty, same thing.  But even if you want to blind yourself to that fact, I could easily label the people who leave the "lol its a scam" comments as idiots as well.

Here is another example from the DF hype meter:  "Wont stand up agianst Warhammer or World of Warcraft. "   I could easily say lol this guy has obviously not read up on DF at all and is just a fanboi of some other game since anyone who knows anything knows that DF is not aiming to stand up to those "easy access" MMOs and also caters to a niche in the market.  No one expects it to get those kind of numbers, because it just isnt designed that way.

Funny how people only like to see their side of the arguement...god strike me down if i ever go through life that close minded.

I get that people don't like DF, its not for everyone and people value other things in games.  And I get that some people just cant grasp a mmo company having a different development cycle.  But what I dont get are the people who have no room in their lives for an open mind.

I also enjoy reminding people about TF2...a game that forum trolls loved to hop on the bandwagon and be cool by using the word "vaporwarez".  TF2 was scraped and redone after a lot of development, and people bashed the game for it.  But the developers *gasp* delayed it and created a game that they felt was to the best of their abilities (and other reasons) and it turned out to be one of the best PC shooters of its time.

Stories like TF2 just show how that group think mentality works and how close minded people are.  

Darkfall could of course flop, definitely not denying that since I have yet to play it.  But it also could be a huge success...an option that I rarely see you naysayers admitting to.
 

I will most definitely not dispute the fact that there are comments from people on the DF hype meter saying it's vaporware, and I agree that they do indeed sound silly. However, the problem we have here is that certain DF fans have gone on a recruitment drive/alternate account creation spree to specifically hype DF high and other games low. I wouldn't even have a problem with the organised event as long as it was done fairly. Sadly, I'm in no two minds about the fact that alternate accounts have been created. 

Also, as you mentioned, DF is a niche game, so I still can't see how you can think that it's the most hyped MMO at the moment. It's a direct contradiction. Using the excuse of Warhammer "is on the horizon" is also a rather silly one, no offense, as Darkfall has supposedly been all these years too. Sure, we have a definite release date for Warhammer but the point is that that date hasn't arrived yet.

Lastly, I am not a DF naysayer. I believe that it will be out soon. However, certain members of the community are getting on my nerves extremely.

I thought the main point of WoW was to continue striving to get better and better gear.

I'm not complaining then!

oh man I get a big smile on my face everytime i hear someone cry about DF fans supporting their game and giving games they have no interest in playing a 1.  Funny how people seem to forget what the hype meter is there for.  Also funny how people seem to forget the amount of people on this site who jump on the cool kid bandwagon and just call DF vapor cause its safe because everyone else is who dont really follow the game, and in turn hype it a 1. 

Like it or not...there is a LOT more hype surrounding DF's impending release or complete disaster than any other game on that list.  So it definitely makes sense that it is at the top.

Now I really don't think people are making alt accounts, but if they are then that is ridiculous just to hype the game.  But I think people just get confused when they see a bunch of new registers with low post counts.   Most of those are DF fans who had neve bothered with this forum due to the extreme amount of trolls on it.

But yea if there is any game that has been targeted for dehyping, it is DF....there just happens to be a big fanbase behind it to balance.

Again, I definitely do not support anyone creating alt accounts to hype/dehype...but there is nothing wrong with giving a 10 to a game you are excited for, and a 1 to all the games you have no interest in playing.  Thats what the hype meter is there for and it is working as intended.

I have seen people say with their own mouth that they have created alternate accounts in order to rate Darkfall high and other games low. You can smile as much as you want but when I see comments such as "DF is better - 1" and "looks cool but DF rulez!!" I can't help but think "idiots." I can totally understand hyping a game with a 1 if you actually know jack about it, but that clearly isn't the case when sifting through the comments on other games' hype lists. 

Lastly, your comment about no other game having as much hype as Darkfall is rather laughable. If that is the case then why isn't it at the top of the hype list for one? Simple clicking on the "Recent forum posts" button further proves my point. The large majority of threads are Warhammer-related, not Darkfall-related. So as much as you'd like to believe that is the case, I'm sorry, but it is not and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that. 

I can almost guarantee you that if you mention Warhammer Online on your average game forum many more people will know what you're talking about than if you mentioned Darkfall.

Well, if you'd take the time to read both sentences in the thread opener, i said EVERY GAME.  Twice.  I believe darkfall falls into that category.  Try this one more time, slowly, sounding out words.

 

how is it that EVERY GAME on the hype meter's hype rating has gone down 5-10 points in the last week?

Next time you try to sound clever consider the option that not everyone is a Darkfall fan rating other games a 1 and that the very same thing might be happening with DF.

 People.

Oh i didn't know that about the editor

And from this we learn that you never delete a game before giving it a proper chance.

 I have heard a lot of people mention that Aion is quite good

Aion isn't released yet so opinions from people who have actually played the game will be rare. However, it is NOT your typical Korean grinder. It is being developed with both the Western and Asian markets in mind.
