The balancing is not such a big problem in a sandbox MMO. Everyone can do whatever thay want to.

Mounted combat and naval combat taking time to develop?? Maybe thats why its taking time for release compared to other MMOs? Remember, all other developers say its to much work making a MMO good. They could do it if they wanted to...but they decide not to do it since we dont care.

Would you play a forced grouping game?

In otherwords, this game would not be like WoW, where  you can do almost all the quests by yourself, and you can group if you want to, but it's not necessary because you level just as fast not grouping. (I"m talking about pre-max level, i.e. BEFORE WoW turns into  a raiding game).

 I'm not saying you couldn't do ANYTHING without a group, but leveling (or gaining skill points in a skill based game) would be 4 or 5 times slower solo than in a decent group.

You could access all the content, and get all the same gear,  but you'd have to level, and come back to lower level zones to do some of the dungeons solo to get the gear, etc.

 

I have no idea what you talk about?

History and common sense will tell anyone that if you are have help, the work will go faster. Thats something you cant change. Lets say you wanna build a house, siege a city, or find a magic sword. Why not be 20 people working??

If some idiot wanna do it all alone...thats his/hers problem.

I can just say this: i would never play a MMO wich is "forced soloing".

Wahen i watch those videos, im having a hard time of not thinkng about WoW when i see WAR. That alone is a reason why DF feels more "real".

DF have something we havent seen much of. None of those lame auto attacks, characters standing still for seconds before they begin to move....in a fight! , or lightning effects as soon something moves.

Dark and Light exists too.

We are not talking about if DF will be a good game or not, we are talking about if DF is vaporware or not.

So bringing up Dark and Light or WoW or whatever crappy MMO dont change our subject here,

Thank you.

I agree with the OP.

We need to see some major changes to the MMO development attitude, or else noone will care about MMOs in two years into the future.

I dont like the word "unlocked".

Jedi should be a profession, same as beeing a police officer. Its something you choose to do 24/7.  So the first minute you begin to fail as acting as one, you are reported and your lightsaber stop working, creds withdrawed and you are no longer a Jedi.

Beeing a Jedi is no childsplay, you will have responsibility all the time.

So......if you cant handle the responsibility, dont become a Jedi.

Remember, there are no bad pulicity...only good publicity 

So whatever person talks about DF, Aventurine wins.  Let everyone in here and post.

We have videos, but not enough of them, we have screenshots, but not enough of them, we have updates, but not enough of them.

The quantity of released material have nothing to do with the final product!  As we just have seen with AoC, released hours of video gameplay dont help the game in any way.  And Funcom is a major company, they shouldent be able to make mistakes.

Right, so what make you DF nay-sayers think that everything is working out perfect for Aventurine?? Let them work and we will see when/if DF is relesed.

Thats why its no point in removing DF from this forum.

I just think that many people today lack real life experience. No traumas, intersting events, near life (near death) experiences.

Many just study and have no innovative, new or personal felings. They get spoon fed with the same ideas from everyone. Thats the main reason why older MMOs are much more interesting gameplay wise. They had to get programmers and "know how", whatever how and were they got thier knowledge.

As we see right now, only WoW clones..because thats the only way to do it.

Why go to a hype meter for a MMO you dont "like"? I hate WoW, but i would never go and give it a 1. Because i dont play it., and i dont intend to ever play it in the future.

But then again, i rather see Darkfall get a 1 on the MMORPG.com hypemeter, that way we might get rid of most of the idiotes that follows hype.  Same people that went to see the Super Mario Bros movie (with Denins Hopper) just because it was hyped.

And we could sure manage without those people in DF.

Im a huge fan of the graphic novel, and have been woried for years that Michael Bay or something would do a movie about it.

Still, when i heard that Zach Snyder (300) would do it.....it sounded not to weird. Snyder have showed a lot of potential when dealing with graphic novels.  Atlest more then any other director.  And from seeing the trailer, i know it visually will take everyone by schock. Its amazing.

So how the actual storyline works in the movie, acting, characters......thats to be seen later.

Seriously, you can't point out anything to the people. Nothing will make them think twice about anything. It's all god(Tasos) given truth after all.

 

To be fair you and AmazingAvery were really shootin off some fireworks for AoC. Funny how after release I didnt see much of either of ya posting about AoC rofl.

Ouchy, that was under the belt Arcken.

I dont know what went wrong with Funcom/AoC.....but it was not their fans fault. Even i was looking forward of playing a new MMO. But nothing turned out as their promised. Lets just hope it wont happen to DF : )

DF is not WoW. We want to fight, trade, craft, talk to other players....not mobs.  Damn carebears, leave us alone here.

 

Well, you might want to check with the devs.  They are trying to make a game that appeals to more than just us PvPers. 

Yeah, thats right.

I just forget sometimes that some like to play with NPCs. But PvPers and RPers like to play with other players : )

Failure to launch or failure after launch. Pick your choice.

Hell I can go play Archlord right now for free and get a solid PvP game with up to date graphics. Think about that for a second. The game had to go FREE to play because no one wanted to play it. 

You really think people are going to come in droves to play some unheard of PvP game made by unknown devs simply because it's some kind of sandbox?

What's my motivation to play Darkfall?

FULL LOOTZ?? old graphics??  terrible animations??   What???

I'am a potential subscriber. Why should I play Darkfall?  Multiply me by 1 million and you have everybody else asking the same question and Aventurine asking why nobody is playing their game.

I'll tell ya why no one is going to play this Aventurine.  It's because you developed for far too long. You have no existing subscriber base to sell to.  The engine is terribly outdated. The content I'am sure is completely lacking in todays standards for a MMORPG.  You have far too much competition with deep pockets and huge teams to keep things up to date who will steal away 90% of your players without even knowing they did it.

Sure Darkfall might have some initial buzz going and some decent activity for awhile but at the end of the day when it's all died down , there will be nothing left but another empty game world and another failed attempt at greatness by an inexperienced team who's eyes are bigger than their skills and who got chewed up and spit out by the veteran companies in this industry.

Darkfall is the last in the line of failed MMORPG's that started back around 2000. It simply hasn't come full circle yet and launch and fail like all the others. 

My words are good. Watch and see.

 

 

 

What would be your motivation to play a game as DF??

What would be your motivation to play a MMO as WoW i say!

In a sandbox MMO noone is telling you what to do.  Go and do whatever you want from the first day. Earn your right to live. Join a clan/empire and fight for it....as a soldier, mage or crafter.....all all at same time. Become a pirate, bounty hunter, commander and become famous (real famous among real players).

Ohh, i see that this could be a problem with player freedom...you have to find a fate for yourself.....noone will give it to you.

Maybe best to go back to WoW and PvE item grind some more

Who the hell cares about mobs in a MMO as Darkfall??

DF is not WoW. We want to fight, trade, craft, talk to other players....not mobs.  Damn carebears, leave us alone here.

I did try a veteran trial today. And i have my main chracter on Euro-Chimaera. Mos Eisley are packed with people as always. But all other main citys are more or less emty : (

Tomorrow i take a look at Yavin 4 and see if its there everyone is.

I dont know, but we have already seen alot in the other videos. But you have to watch for yourself. Noone is spelling it out for you.

If we see 200 hundred characters fighting in the next video, if only for 5 seconds....that will tell us alot. Now i dont want it to be a 5 seconds video.

I hope for a ten minute video that shown everything from character creation to respawn after death.

Something that make us all come togeather to talk about Darkfall here, except just arguing about if its vaporware or not.

As many of you know, the original kotor series draws the vast majority of its rules and game mechanic concepts from the tabletop edition of star wars.

Everquest, wow, and all other mmos have drawn many of thier ideas from table top games.

With the recent release of 4th edition D&D as well as a revamped star wars table top game It is my opinion that you will find many of the tabletop concepts in this new mystery mmo.

So if your curious as to what to expect in the next big star wars mmo, check out the new star wars pen and paper game or even the 4th ed D&D.

I am predicting that those games will heavily influence this next mmo.

I dont get it. In US they use those class/level rules in table top RPGs.  But in EU we have only skillbased table top RPGs.

I personally just think the 4th edition D&D is one step closer to skillbased. They want you to feel as you have a choice.

And if that is the way they will go for in KOTORO.....then im not interested.

FFS!

Dont post these kinds of thread here...idiote

I knew it wasnt true, still i got one of those rare flashes of happyness when i saw it.

Not funny.
