Care to explain this? Cant see any basis for this opinion. darkfall pvp was all about focus firing.

At least it will be a free to play beta, as opposed to a pay to play beta if it did release 12/12/12. and people were angry about the decision? :O

also a feature which would be nullified if the game went f2p.

lmao

not sure if this is serious or a troll but either way pretty funny. if it is serious you could always go live somewhere else, human or elf lands, or better join a clan and live in thier cities.

if I actually get to play on monday im going to to die of excittement.

in thoery we download the game tommorow. if that works then chances are beta will actually start on monday

CANNOT FUCKING WAIT

They are the only 2 games in existance with the following two features combined:

• Real shooter combat, projectiles etc. not just hitscans.
• thousands concurrent of players on a non instanced map

I didnt know age of wushu had those features, colour me interested.

however people keep refering to darkfall as mmorpg, its really a mmorpg-fps-rts

the combat and open world conquest are what really completely and utterly separated darkfall from every other game. not the ffa full loot pvp. 

for this reason i would say planetside 2 is the closest thing to darkfall on the market. even tho they are also vastly different in other ways.

its smaller.

normall this would be upsetting, but darkfall 1's map really was THAT huge that I don't actually care its probably for the best.

• We spoke above on the armor specialization. You can excel at using one-handed melee to the point where you should be able to compete with other play-styles. Combined with a shield and a new mechanic for blocking , you will be very viable within the constraints of the melee specialty, since there are trade-offs to be made.

So if you state something completely false as a "rule", it makes it unquestionably correct?

your "rule1" is so obviously wrong its not even worth making an arguement against. as for the rest: dayz not only forced pvp but also full loot and was pretty sucessful. what about ps2, you don't play that because its forced pvp right? actually wait ps2 doesn't exist right?

not sure why im responding to such a stupid flamebait thread anyway.

the nexus's were destructable, lasted a certain amount of time and only lasted for X amount of teleports (10?). you needed to place an entrance and a exit, which are separate rare items.

they were pretty awesome if you could find good places to hide them, so other people didn't use them or destroy.

You still gotta grind the skills, enchanting was an extremely hard and expensive crafting skill to raise in darkfall 1.

Im not sure who first got 100 enchanting but it was probably like a year or more after release, and throughout most of darkfalls life cycle very few people had 100 enchanting. 

just because there is no theoretical limit does not mean anyone can craft anything.

it annoys me that people call it permadeath when really its just full loot, especially in war z where u can actually bank stuff.

but yeah i never thought full loot would appeal to a large/mainsteam audience. paves the way for other "revival" games like darkfall. and real permadeath like salem.
