Personally I dont think if having it M rated and having that kind of content is such a good idea, because its a fact... majority (Or okay maybe not majority, but A LOT) of gamers are between the ages of 13-16 etc...

 

I remember having started gaming a looong time ago, I think my first game was that prince of persia side scroller, and later DOOM 1 and 2 etc... good ol' days

EDIT: Yeah maybe some of you guys' first games were Pac Man and Pong etc, but im still juvenile

Exactly, POINTLESS. everybody will just be focused on the pvp content, including the developers. It will just turn into a big all out pvp warzone. no roleplaying, just mindless killing. an ugly version of battlefield 2 (very ugly, I might add)

Pointless? In Darkfall you have to fight to keep or gain control of territory, builds, and items. In addition, since Darkfall uses a skill based system instead of level, you can also skill up during pvp. And from a more role-playing perspective, if some guild is taxing the people in their territory too much you can also fight oppression. Pvp has never been more meaningful. If you think all pvp is pointless you've been playing WoW too long.

1. both

2. not sure

3. seamless world

4. FPS

5. there is housing, not sure what type

6. yes

7. i think it decays

8. don't know

9. actually it's not even in beta yet it's still in devolopment, and yes there have been major changes to the company and the game itself

Likin the look of that, I hadn't realized the screenshots before these ones were so old.

I take it from these screenshots that the first-person only idea is out?

Overall I agree with semajin. He's correct on most points.

But I'd rate AA as more of a mediocre game than a bad one. I have two reasons for this. One, it's still in beta and not a release version. And two, I didn't get to try out the end game or pvp content.

The main reason for the lag/bad frame rate is most likely because it's still in beta. The devs have even stated that they know you need a super high end computer to play it currently and are working on fixing it. Now, I'm not saying that between now and when it's released that all the fps problems will go away. I'm just saying that it should get better. Also I heard people in-game complaining about some quest bugs and hopefully those will also get fixed.

As I said I personally didn't get to try the end game or pvp content, so I can't comment on it. If both those areas are done well, this might (repeat might) just end up being a good game; if not, it could break the game as a whole. I'm actually a little hopeful about the end game. As semajin said the skills and items are kind of lacking, but that's when you're level <10. I think the skill and item systems could be far more diverse and satisfying at level 80 (the cap at release). But as I just said "could be", meaning of course that I can't know for certain at this time. And if the skill and item systems do get better with age, that might make pvp interesting and fun.

All of that is just speculative. If I had to rate it right now, just based on what I've already seen/done and not taking the future into account; I would have to rate it as a poor game.

Of course that's why a lot of people are going alfar already (including me and my guild) and you still can't kill other alfar without a faction hit (other than the first few). Well no game can be prefect, but this one's close enough for me; after it finally comes out that is...

Someone posted those pics on my guild forum as well, only they had some more info to go with them.

NOTE: I heard this from a guy in my guild who heard it from who knows where so I wouldn't exactly call it reliable info. Just posting it because you never; it could be right.

For those of you that picked a different combination, what did you pick and why?

Now that they changed the tradeskill system to professions, what professions are you going to do? Remember, anyone can get cooking, fishing and first aid in addition to 2 others. Survival has been combined with cooking.

Sounds like a good idea (only because I have nothing else to do like play WoW). I missed the applaction deadline because I wasn't keeping track of the game.

Hope my avatar works and poeple can tell what it is.
