Well tbh I would say if you will upgrade to a 8800 card and psu and tbh the processor also needs to be upgraded then.# It would be better and more productive to save up and build a new system,there does come a time when we have to throw the old system out and start again. |

I'm not sure quite what bottlenecking is, I'm guessing it's the card isn't running at its full potential due to other hardware? but I'm definitely gonna have an adequate power supply to run the new card, the processor isn't the best but it does well, dual core, 3.4ghz, not the most efficient or powerful but it's far from crap. I'm making sure I get a good power supply when I get the card, the processor I shall have to consider another time when cash once again enters my hands, but for now my top priority is getting a nice card, if bottlenecking is what I think it is, then I don't mind so much, but it's more than likely I'm incorrect, PCs are far more confusing that I first imagined after upgrading from a laptop, that's for sure. Tell you what mate I see you live in the UK,I live in Holland and have a 7600gt card in the attic doing nothing it is a very solid gamming card and if you want it send me a pm with your address and its all yours. |

I have had one CTD and server lag.

Originally posted by Brenelael I have followed many games in development since I started playing MMOs and almost all of them have had posts on their forums at one time or another telling people to come here and hype their game.
Yes it has been brought up in the TCoS forum a couple of times but quickly put down,It isnt a bad thing to hype the game but as me and a few others have pointed out your time would be better spent posting useful things and answering question about your game on mmorpg.com. The hype meter has always been seen by user's here as something very easy to manipulate and the DF guys have basically taken advantage of that. |

For more info read the thread. |

I dont think there are many mmo players that dont like the idea of DF I mean come on it sounds great,We are a bit held back if it will release as it says it will. What has got alot of ppl on this forum going is the community and the way they de-hyped games just for the sake of it,nothing to do with the game not at all. |

I can maybe understand if you think DF is the only game for you ever you give it a 10 but to give other games a 1 and leave comments like "looks a cool game but will give it 1 for the sake of DF"make no sense whatsoever. I could maybe understand if the DF gamers read a bit about other games then voted that would at least be something also,You can continue along these lines you guys have set yourself but at the end of the day you have come here just to hype DF to the top and dehype the other games regardless of what they are or indeed if you like the idea of it just so DF will be at the top of the hype meter...and BFD that is..... |

With regards to the graphic's they seem fine nothing new but easy on the eye,I grew up playing jetset willy and attic attack where your guy was made up of 6 square blocks but still found myself playing them games for hours upon hours on end,gameplay is where it is at. I will be playing a runepriest something a little new with the runes and healing is always a good challenge and rewarding at times,I can maybe understand if you play a tank type or similar it could feel the exact same as some games out there. Anyway nice honest review thanks for writting it,always good to hear as many opinion's as possible. |

Sorry but the only guys I see here calling people kids are people that are either playing the game now or people that have no intention of playing the open beta. |

I may be wrong but I am sure alot of player's have been spamming there codes and finally got through so this whole "I can be a 1",or a "D could be a O" doesnt hold much water if the codes work after hours of trying,Nothing like taking the highroad and blaming other's I guess. |
