First off, welcome to Parenthood!
I have a 2 year old son and a 6 week old son. Im a gamer. When i had my first, I got really worried, for many reasons not just gaming. Yea they take alot from you, depending on your sleeping habits and if your a live at home dad or mom or the bread winner. Get it in your head your now a servent for live to that kid. Its his world and your just living in it. You will do the job and never stop!!! He is a blank slate, your mirror, everything you do from how you go about your day to day life in his eyes to how you respond to everything. He will copy you, everything about you good and sadly the flaws. Will you have time to enjoy games again... yes he will sleep up to 15 hours a day in intervals usually ranging at the 3 or 4 hour mark. Every cry means something every darn one. and when he crys its immediate desperation. Usually he will need to burb first before anything, then feed him, he will eat 2 ounces. Read the book then throw it away. Every kids different. Talk to your kid like you would talk to anyone else, he cant understand you but your voice will be comforting. Kids are a full time job, as they get into the 4 month mark everything will change, and that will change even more everyweek there after. You will be able to game according to his sleeping time. Kiss running a guild or really going heavy into mmog's goodbye, you never know when your needed by your son. As he gets older and can nearly walk ( depending on how much you work with him on it) he can go outside, he needs the sunlight to turn that vitamin c into something useful. Also to get his skin some sun. Its good for his visual perspective and the black rings that tend to form around the eyes. from never being in the warm outside.
So to sum it all up, yea your gaming life is going to take a huge hit. Kids are a full time job. Prepare to get blown away. You are the architect for his future in every way. His habits to the way we will react to everything in his path.
Sing to your son even if you suck, it really does wonders, and who cares about pride when it comes to your kid, in his eyes you are his hero, and he will be your biggest fan.
We parents are very lucky to be able to experience such wonders and gifts. Let us build them well!! You too will know the true meaning of life.

All done within instances right. The persistant part is a station indoors thats it right...
In otherwords a graphical lobby to take missions and select weapons then off to a instance room. |

Sorry D&D was DOA.. And struggled ever since it was released. They went with a partial micro transaction to open classes and parts of the game, yet retained its monthly fee and have the whole game to open the door to populate its servers. Its not the same, nor should be chucked in with the payed advertisments that have all but taken over mmorpg.com.
North American gamers want a lvl playing field, we are a subscription customer base. Hence when these asian item mall games show up they disappear from radar just as fast. The content offered has always been a generation or three behind the NA developed games. If we NA players do play those titles we dont spend money on them. As of late the asian developers have been trying to turn our biggest pc gaming market into a item mall game, The fps market. EA tried to experiment with the idea with battlefield heros, and as its been going, The models not profitable, so they are practically giving the items away, They lowered the prices on everything to next to nothing and made them perminant. Thus they are trying to just make thier money back for the development. The last ditch effort. Why spend cash on a game i can out right buy and play , mod, etc... And a few download for free for ever and have the whole game forever. So no matter how Richard tries to spin the free to play model, the facts are the facts. And we have choosen with our wallets. The guys like a used car salesman, trying to convince me that ol car with 200,000 old lady miles is the biggest and best thing since carryout. Why would i want that ol car when i own a mustang...

Um so whats all the crying about? One toon per server account... One race since... one toon only. Want to play another race you have to destroy the old toon first.
Only one server so weres the contradiction?
Ohh you came here to get attention?
Boring... |

The exploits and hacks. They let people use the exploits for weeks before stopping it and fixing one.. No roll back... so we are left to manage against super defence players... Then the shield exploit now we have to deal with master weapon users... You spend your time building a city with the hopes it works for you in return... Hence.... We built a city prep for a siege and as they came, it sounded like pop corn as three guilds cast launch over our walls. Who needs to seige.. just launch over the walls and knock stuff down...
If y0ou dont macro all night you cant compete, if you didnt use the exploits you lost your city. Your city is a waste of time. You spent all the time grinding like robots to get it built, only to have clans launch over the walls and attack you inside.. Its like whos idea was it to even think about putting walls up.... remember how long it was for them to add doors for the gate houses..
Darkfall has fun pvp solo or in groups sure but any damn game can have good pvp solo or in groups. This was suppose to be about seiges and the full scale war thing. its not so i quit.
Ive thought of returning when the American servers come but then im thinking ... the the hell for.. Mortal is right around the corner... Hopefully they know how to design a city for seige combat.
Yes i really played i was in Shimmergloom.

Planetside and ww2 online type of gameplay (fps) In a mmog setting full world design with destructable bases that are designed and rebuilt after the mass is destroyed by the owning faction. Thus creating a new excperience each time a player logs in. Tons of vehicles and weapons, mechs and air vehicles. Build anywhere on the map destroy anything on the map.
The details ill keep to myself. |

Thanks KeKe, yea thats where i get my info.
The rest, Targeting Whether attacking or defending, targeting is achieved by hovering your targeting cursor over your intended target and pressing the target button. Don’t expect a raft of info when you do this – there won’t be statistics displayed for target health, endurance or mana as with many other MMORPGs, you’ll get a target box but no numbers. The “target list” itself will contain some basic information on the targets you’ve added, their status (criminal/murderer/friendly etc.) but little else. Star Vault seem to be going for essential information only, possibly due to an attempt to keep the player’s interest on the combat, rather than on statistical nonsense. So what happens once you get inside melee range? Incoming! Switching to the Combat Stance, leaves you with two options – attack or be attacked. The left mouse button (LMB) when pressed charges your attack, holding the button down will allow you to delay the attack, releasing it will instantly unleash your fury. This rather neat change from minding clicking allows the player some control over timing, which frankly, is rather sweet! Here’s the downside, after making an attack, your open for a counter attack for a short time, so be careful as you can’t parry or block during this vulnerable period. Mortal Online seems to be encouraging the berserker in us all, at least a little, maybe just a tiny bit, OK I’m looking for an excuse. I can see me using their charge attack a lot, whilst running into combat if you attack you’ll unleash the “power stike” with the LMB. This drains a huge amount of your stamina, but I bet it’s a lot of fun! The action of charging strikes before attacking, negates any benefit from button mashing, it pushes players to think tactics during combat, Do I try to take him down now and risk a counter? Or wait until he attacks, block and cut his balls off with a counter of my own? Reading your opponent will be key and this will only come with experience, probably of dying a lot but we’ll cover that gory detail later.
What more do you need. Read the damn thing. Thats where i get my info. |

Crap point and click... I had hoped they wouldnt go this route, but more the darkfall route of full player control combat system. Or twitch... Ill have to rethink even getting this now.. bummer.
And yes if i have to click on a target its nothing more then point and click. As for ping, darkfall servers ping around 150ms -200ms for me in North America and we do realtime twitch based fps type combat just fine.
If the talent darkfalls Devs produced can do it im sure these Mortals devs could. If they do they, will get a subscriber, if not then they wont.
I cant go back to the old point and target system, ive played the next best thing in a mmog setting. Its like riding a uber roller coaster, then riding some small thing... it just doesnt have the thrill anymore. |

File multiple complaints with the BBB. I just got done talking with the bank guy that was at the building that AV is renting. He said the company on the 2nd floor has filed for bankruptcy, and he came to go over some paper work, but they mircalously aren't there. Looks like AV is doing a release and run. I feel sorry for everyone that got a pre-order. And here is another nutt job, boy they sure come out of the woodwork... How many seats are on that crazy train...

Yea, i see many are jumping over to STO forums... With new Forum names of course... I thought it quite funny to see many DF trolls, back to back posting and complimenting them selves, and you go look att their past posts.... All Darkfall bashing.... Comical. Another thing comical, is these same people dont even sub to mmog's... |

What many posters cant understand, or refuse to understand, is that with darkfall the "end game" starts right when you log in for the first time.

Funny , i guessing now from the eartlier numbers on the preorders, they sold if it went at the same speed, over 10k preorders, that is if the numbers keep rolling as they have been. Or they shut the spout off, not sure what the limit is for preorder.... |

Betatester here... Everyone here is telling you the same thing, So i wont waste my typing fingers... I will say, They also turned the starting areas into dark and jungle type of areas, full of plants and trees, rocks and some new buildings... Not normal trees you look at but types you can climb up into and on the branches. The gobos are mixed in this area, roaming...not static sitting there... They are roaming, hiding, watching you. If they see you they will go deeper, pulling you farther in, Into their friends that may flank around you.
If you see a gobo runing in circles then back and forth in front of you like a dance, then you approach he shoots a few arrows off and runs into the woods, careful... You may have three vollys of arrows coming out from between those trees. You may think, ohh bs they dont do that your exaggerating.... im not! There are no lvls they will kill you! The Ai is very smart and get smarter the higher up the ladder they are. The gobos are the very bottom of the bottom. |

After beta testing, I'll be buying a brand new Graphics card, preordering darkfall, and getting the longest sub they have. This has been a great beta experience. My whole guild will most likely be preordering. Yea bought a new vid card.. not for darkfall though trading out my 8800gts for a 285 I play alot of fps games and gta 4 is a hog. Took forever to save the money, with my kids and all.. i like to tap my personal stash for something special all the time for them.
