ok then name one mmo flawless launch just one is all i ask for

and if anyone says wow i will smack them inthe mouth

all mmo's that are out and that come out are unfineshed thats kind of the way it works

deal with it .

thats the way it has been its for damn sure not exclusive to AoC

get over it .

im sorry but i cant get behind a game that's devs generalize and damn near flame its players.

thats just pathetic.

therion- youtube "the secret of the runes" album and youll know they fit

and some not fitting ones like

emiliana torrini or bjork

i know im kind of lame

with the upcoming realease of WAR i was just wondering if anyone played the warhammer or 40k tabletops, and which you think is best. personally i play:

warhammer 40k

space wolves, and a little of the 13th company

what about you ?

Alright, here's the deal. Either give me a release date, a publisher, or a pre-order website.

If you can't do ONE of those, you have no case.

 

No case you say.=)

Are you for real?

What do you think Darkfall developers have done during all these years informing us the fans with endless updates about the game? Been out partying or? Why dont you read up about all the hundreds of developer updates during the years. Heres is a good site for that. There is 205 written updates and news on these link. http://forums.darkfallonline.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29&order=desc .

Have you seen the progression during the years of Darkfall graphics? I quote myself on this since i dont have the patience to make something better for a person like you that is merely here on the Darkfall board to defend your crapgame AoC and troll Darkfall.

Any seeable improvements? =) Seems to me like a game under development, or?

Have you seen all videos from the Darkfall devs? Where does those came from of its not from a game under development? =)

Ok defended enough now. All games have no case then if were gonna follow your logic. All games under development isnt worth following if your logic is right. Didnt you follow AoC before beta were released?

But i can fill one of these in for you, i give you a publisher. Darkfall have a publisher in Aventurine thats been there first choice of publisher since 2002 when Razorwax and Aventurine merged. So it seems we do have a case. =)

http://www.warcry.com/articles/view/devjournals/darkfalljournals/2813-Darkfall-Dev-Journal-21-Community-Q-A

[QUOTE] Community: why has Darkfall had such a hard time securing a solid publisher and with the impending release of both age of Conan and Warhammer online aren't you concerned that the game will be unable to maintain a self sustaining profitable player base considering that the other games have giant budgets and giant advertising campaigns.

Tasos Flambouras: In very simple terms, it's not so much as Darkfall having a hard time securing a publisher as it is that publishers have had a hard time securing Darkfall. I'll explain: We do have the capability to self-publish, so the competition to any publishing offer, aside from other offers, is our own plan for self-publication. In our self-publishing scheme we hire the same services that most publishers use so in effect "cutting out the middleman" is usually to our advantage, especially since as a newcomer in the gaming industry it's rare to get a fantastic deal. Furthermore, getting a publishing deal isn't crucial to us in regards to development, and we won't just jump at offers. We have the "luxury" to try to do what's best for the game in this context. That being said, we have been and still are in discussions with publishers who present a good and viable alternative to our self-publishing plan.

 Giant budgets and giant advertising campaigns demand giant paydays. We definitely don't need to be a World of Warcraft killer to be successful, but the same may not be true about some of the other games in development. When faced with the question of budget allocation we decided that it's more important for us to first make as good a game as possible and then to market it on its merit. The opposite doesn't work in the long run, and quality would be compromised by taking some of the development resources and throwing them into marketing so we're betting everything on our strength. We couldn't compete with some of the large titles when it comes to marketing since it all comes down to dollars and cents, but we can still make one hell of a game. [/QUOTE]

They can selfpublish and its been there intention all along, just like EvE, but they been and still are in discussions with publishers who present a good and viable alternative to theirs self-publishing plan.

So you agree we have a case now then?

 Can we go back on topic now and compare Darkfall graphics with Age of Conan graphics?

i guess you have no case.

i know that this would be tough but i would like to see more of a difference in SM chapters other than just a color change.

cause space wolves are AWESOME!!!

Never pre-order. I did with Dark and Light and seriously regretted it. Every other game I've played since 1994 that I Beta'ed and liked, I bought in the end. (And when I beta I do beta to 'test' and find bugs not just to sample the game). Pre-orders are just a way to get 'early' money for the software developer.

Most  occur at the end of a quarter to show 'extra' revenue.

i don't know how the whole pre-order thing works at other stores but at the gamestop that i work in no one makes money off of preorders the money that you put down goes directly towards the game.  its more in place so we can be sure you buy the game at our store.

 

you dont pay anything extra.

you just contradicted yourself. Preorders are used to be money makers prior to game launch by the developers. You are just ensuring by preordering they get a small amount of money prior to launch and then the rest at launch, so even if you cancel the game, devs still get $5 per pre order (or whatever the amount is)

 

If that is the case, then why can I go in and change my mind and put my $5 on another game?  I have quite a few times spent $5 on a game, got into a beta (DDO for example), realized I didn't like it, then swapped my $5 for something else.

I don't see the big deal or any risk in a pre order.  All you are doing is handing over $5 to make sure you get a copy the day it comes out.

I have never seen that in all my years of gaming, where you can take your $5 or whatever the initial fee is and transfer it. Once you pay the 5 bucks its done. While i agree $5 is nothing to cry over...look at games like Dark and Light, which promised the world, and never delivered. say if even 10k people preordered the game, the company still made 50k off preorders.

but i cant speak for any other stores out there.

ok (I'm partialy wrong it happens) but . . . you dont pay any thing extra, i dont see the problem with that.

darkfall is just not there yet, im not saying that it wont get there eventually but its not there now.

Why did you take 2 Darkfall screenies from 2006 when there is like 70 from 2008? And graphics is not only about polygon counts, its also about graphic style and there Darkfall owns AoC in my eyes. When i see Darkfall screenies i wanna jump right in and play, that feeling never occur to me when i see AoC ones. Darkfall ones look so much more alive and the athmosphere is just better. Darkfall graphic style owns AoC.

i am not saying that darkfall is a bad game its definitely getting a lot better that it was and my be closer to coming out but from a purely physical standpoint it is technically inferior to AoC for now anyway.

 

So you mean AoC is technical superior cause they make graphics that will be unplayable on hi settings for the common player? Aye that sure is superiority.=) The normal player with an average computer will have to set down the available graphics to very poor quality if he ever gonna be able to play it. And not to mention the epic battles with hundreds of players on screen at same time, imagine the lag in a game like AoC with that hi of a polygon counts.

Darkfall on the other hand have very low polygon counts so id say Darkfall is the smarter ones here with superior technology.

And remember, good gameplay is more important then graphics. And gameplay is always better with less lag.

the computer that i am buying for AoC costs 789.00 USD and i work at gamestop and make very little money im about as average as they come.

 

and AoC graphics >  DF graphics = technical superiority

i don't have anything from DF that shows what the game play will be like so i cant make the decision on which game is better game play wise. also this thread isn't about that its about graphics and graphics alone

 

 

My last answer was all about graphics. I doubt very much youre computer will handle AoC epic battles with hundreds of players on screen at same time. And youre computer would have alot more chance handling that on a low polygon graphic game like Darkfall. Just imagine to make such genious graphics with such a low polygon count as Darkfall devs have succeded to do. Thats why i think they is way more technical superior. They have a chance making epic battles less lagable. See my point?

you dont know how AoC will run with anything at all and even if you did 80-90% of my average time ingame wont be having epic megabatles, it will be questing and the like which my 8800gt, 2 gigs of dual channel ram and my quad core procesor will handle just fine.

also, you dont really know how any thing will work in DF on a realistic level because you havent seen any thing worth talking about. i have seen all of the video/screenshots there are to see about this game and a list  of all of the features that the game has to offer, but the game isnt close enough to any thing (beta, or launch) for me to tell if this game is worth my time.

yes it will do some innovative things and yes it very well beat the pants off of AoC

but i can't see how you are so gung ho about a game that's best points are rumors.

that would be a designers nightmare id imagine. one big quantum headache.

but ideas like that aren't bad keep them coming!
