I've been thinking of giving EVE a try for awhile now. I dont know why i havent yet, I guess it just feels like its to late, like id be so far behind the curve

Over all i was really disappointed i think more by the dev team themselves more so the game

Disappointments

the biggest would have to be all the feature complete ready to go talk Tasos did turns out to be bs

the wont have to spend a dollar before trying it

the not the kind of company to have preorders only to have preorders

the sound is horrible especially as far as sound direction.

the world is empty. i dont want something ever five feet but there has to be a happy medium.Npc's to fill the empty cities,roaming  migrational herds of animsl,animmls in general,the occasional lone or partnered creature harvesting,hunting whatever

the overall community sucks as already said its not about helpin and playin with everyone, its about ganking and tryin to ruin other players game time but I guess thats the game. I was hopin it would balance itself out but i dont think it will.

The exploiting,macroing and what so far seems the lack of interest by the devs to prevent this. It wont be long before the hacks are out and if the built in cheat system the devs have talked about folows the feature complete statements they have made, this game is in trouble.

Surprises

I still want to play it

i can still see this game being fun if you have some decent people to play with

It is stable i crashed once in all the time i played

I know someone will tell me its beta such and such isnt on or the creature pop isnt turned up blah, blah, blah

look its 3 days before release this stuff should be done and things should be turned on . Im tired of hearing mostly from people that have no connection to this game or its dev team what will be. It should already be and if its not fine, delay again and get it fixed dont tell us its done and ready when it clearly isnt and dont try to sell us this if its not

Ive been following since 05 not as much as some i know and i so want this game to work because i too am tired of the clones but i cant be blind about this like i was about D&L

Ill be waiting till the us release before i think about buyin this game

Has any improvment been made on the sound more importantly the sound direction or any info from the dev about improving it? For a game that places so much importance on hearing to detect ambushes and such the sound sucks

 until i get to try it, its all just wishful thinking

my name will be HairyDangler and my old lady will be StinkyClam

OP you have a link to the info about them having least amount of strength?

i read the race description  and i didnt see anything about them having less strength, I did read that they will have a bonus to magic

As far as basic choices of which race to be it seems if you want to kill everyone go Alfar  because everyone is their enemy. If you dont want to kill alot go Dwarf,Human or Mirdain  gives you the most friends and least amount of enemies. Ork and Marahim  splits the diferance

It used to be that a big part of playin a mmorpg was discovering and learning  the game.Thats what made it what it is, you needed to learn,explore,try different things more importantly you needed the community to help eachother and figure the processes out then the guides would start to hit the net.Now with all the whiny, spoiled, feed it to me on a spoon people that has come about, when a company tries to get back to what it was everyone thinks they are hiding something. Its sad

I dont know alot of details about the game,I know what is at its base and its something i like so i will give it a shot and try to support a company willing to take a risk instead of rehashing the same simple thing

Grr i so want this game to be out already

I think i have more anticipation for this game than i did for my first sexual experience 

there is something like that people are working on but you need to use the force to find it because ive been told im not allowed to post it for some bs reason

good thread but i would just like to add that this Q&A thread  http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=57229     has a ton of info.

also another reward that i havent seen mentioned yet for killin off a guild or group is to control that land which has resources that you can mine for crafting and such.Ive read that if your guild controls that land and someone else mines it your guild will get a message with that persons name.

darkfall has promise if it can deliver. I was disapointed somewhat with the movie as another post said it seemed more like a smoke screen it really showed none of the sub systems. Crafting,ui,pve ai which they've bosted about, char. creation especialy since what i saw as far a toons go all looked the same.The graphics aren't very good but they were never meant to be. The game is based on pvp geared towards large scale battles you cant have both.

some of the swg qualities it has are

open world you can do what you want  FREEDOM

no class restrictions (want to heal and tank you can)

almost everything is player crafted with decay its not about who loots the epic weapon bs                                 crafted goods >than looted goods 

resources play apart and to get the resources you need to control the land the resouces are on

The devs are blowing it with there hush, hush attitude especialy with warhammer comin out because one thing thats more important than the game are the people you play it with and the group ive played with (about 25peeps) since early pre-cu is going for war because of this no info crap the devs are doin.As it stands now Darkfall is at the level of Dnl in my view sure there is a game but who the hell knows how it plays or if it plays.

im expecting alot from this video. 15 minute video atleast heck they've had enough time.It should show char. creation, UI, Crafting, mob AI,city building,skill trees then get into the combat side of things.No more of this soon,next month stuff put up or shut up devs. We've been loyal fans reward us for that.

I love what the game says its gonna be but it has got to the point where its time to put up or shut up! Give us something already.The last update said we will be getting a movie soon i hope its a good one that gives us actual info about the game.I also like that the lead guy said we would without a doubt get a chance to play it before we spend any money for it.

I lost my interest in MMO's ...

there I said it....

Since 2004 I am regular member of this forums. I played and tried everything , and i followed and took part ( community wise ) in most of MMOs in development. I seen this form of gaming blossom and vain.

And waited and waited and waited for the MMO messiah to come... but all what i seen was chain of disapointments. I am sure many of you feel this way...

And now 2008 , on the edge of final release of AOC and WAR it hits me...

This games are nothing like what 2004 mmo fan expected 2008 mmo would be

 

Where is the sandbox ? Where is community ? Where is roleplay ? Where is massive seamless world ?

It is replaced by

Instanced , battleground , grind , linear , limited , l337.

 

The new word is not community , group , simulation , open ended ... no

The new word is how to bring singleplayer experience into multiplayer game.

 

But why do i need that ? Singleplayer RPG's allready give me that in better way. Minus grind and minus sub...

Lack of content hidden by mandatory grind and raid...i am getting bored

 

Couple this with having no more than 10 hours to play weekly. When it seems to me that MMO design is targeted at population that has time and time on their hands...students, unemployed, stay home mom's.

 

Where is the world for us , the working class ?

 

And how about community ?

From one side we have the PVP crowd - that for some unfortunate reason draws (among others)   emotionally chalenged , social misfits - that find the MMO to be sole medium of exercising their frustration and hate.

And on the otherside the PVE crowd - that for some reason attracts stay home mom and dad , emo poets and people that confuse MMOs with My Space ...

And me ... for all my non-perfection , my visit to MMO community made me worse - bitter ...

 

And to make all this worse. Is there anything on horizon that will change MMOs for better ?

 

AOC ? WAR ? ... Aion ?

Just a same ol'grind

 

Sandbox is abandoned concept. Virtual world is abandoned concept.

 

The mmo of the future are singleplayer games in multiplayer enviroment with added grind ...

 

 

I had enough ....

 

companies and devs dont listen and continue to shove this crap on us but until we stand up and stop buying these games even to try out of desperation and stop going back to whats out there just because theres nothing else to play nothing is gonna change

its great havin new SS and its was great to see the latest movie but i think everyone can aggree its to the point now with how long its been to put up or shut up.gives us a beta and take your place as the greatest mmorpg.    jmo

 that is the dev team that brought us the NGE must of been recorded in the planning stages.

SOE deserves every bit of hate they get.I havent tried a soe game since NGE and dont plan on tryin one anytime soon.

Not sure if this has been posted if so sry.

http://www.dailytech.com/NASA+Looking+to+Create+MMO+Game/article10399.htm

seems nasa is thinking about makin a space based mmo

i do wish a company would listen.Take StarGate for example that had so much promise from what i read and and SS i saw then they go with the class system and that really turned me off even before i heard their plans for crafting / resources.

It comes down to us. When we stop settling for what they give us and paying them for it then maybe they will listen.

thought i read in a post that they changed to crafting system and dumbed it down.

Is this true?
