What one thing about Darkfall are you looking forward to most of all?
General Discussion « Darkfall 1/27/09 8:22:30 PM
One group of anti-social idiots leaving the other group of anti-social idiots alone in forums.
Seriously, why is there so much hate over every new game that comes down the pike?
Don't like this one, go play another? It's an idea that never seemed to catch on....

... is remove Jedi and put it back the way it was the first month sans bugs.
Yeah, many will bitch and moan, but I think it would get a cult following that would never let it die.
[edit] And I say this LOVING the current space flight part of it... I'd give that up in a heartbeat

LOL, er, LAWLS, ur funy...
Kidding aside, they said that from day one. Be real, it will be around 8 years from now, and probably with as many players. Look at UO, if it doesn't creep you out, nothing will. It's like the dirty old man in the neighborhood that waves to all the kiddies. WoW is Popular. It's have to get pretty haggard and old before people stop trying to cop a feel.
Will better games come out? sure. heck, they may even BE out already. Will people leave? sure. but people are still flocking to it, more and more onliners every day. Will the farmers own it? sure. they own every game, fact of life, get over it.

I tried to love the game, and there are a lot of things I liked about it, but overall, 5/10.
Jumpgate beats it hands down on physics, realistic flying, targetting, and general space feel. It wins on lighting, particle count, skinning, and making space feel HUGE through slow travel.
Speaking of which, I hate long periods of my game play where I am doing nothing; and to travel, that's what happens, it reminds me of flight points in WoW. Hated them too. Or the zone loads of EQ/EQ2, time wasters. And that's what I'm PAYING for in the end, Time.
The societal aspect of the game can be good or bad, depending on the time of day and where you are. There plenty of asses with big ships to make up for their inadiquicies in 0 space. But there are also lots of good people willing to rescue you and befreind you, not just pity you for being such a noob.
I'd probably have rated it higher except it wasted so much of my time.
[edit] (as an aside: I find the people who do like it, like it a lot more than is "healthy", and the rating here @ mmorpg.com is a testimate to their "tenacity". |

only took 40 minutes to d/l and patch, not bad for Beta. I got to character creation screen, under-welmed, selected server, showing 0 people in world, got "world is full" message and the boot, retried, on logon screen, "world is full"... so I am assuming one character and one realm only. again, under-welmed. The avaters just remined me of Bigger version of UO 3D characters.... blah.
So... I un-installed. Have fun, and good luck.

Hello, I am pretty much a hardcore role player. I read up on the world I am visiting, then make a character to fit into that world, giving them thier own history and personality. In the past I have played both good guys and bad guys. My characters have often make choices different than those I would make, sometimes to the detriment of thier progress, because it was what they would do. Over the years I can decided that, in the spirit of good will towards role players, I will no longer play bad guys. My reasons may, in part, be found below. I have been in the MMORPG community since UO Alpha and have Beta tested and played probably half or more of the Active games on the list, plus am in five Beta's now. That said, I think I know something about the MMORPG world. 95% of gamers do not, nor will they ever, role play for more than a few minutes at a time. (If they Ever do) Of the 5% who are left, less than 30% play "good guys". Or neutral at least. That leaves 70% playing "assholes by design", of some sort. Some of them actually do a decent job, but generally: Wham, right in the kisser, brute force gankers rule of justification, "I'm role playing, suck it up". My best guess is that there are around 30% of the "role play community" who are "rule lawyers", "god modders", or "I am the exception" players, (read Paladins, Drow, etc.. when it is not within the world lore and sometimes not even possible!) giving the community black eyes. Generally making Everyone mad with thier lameness. So that leaves you with, what?, ~ 1% of the player populous who role play and give other players a good experience? And that is the key, Other players. MMORPG No wonder we are so "beloved" and thought of as whiners. If 95% of any population thinks you are lame or get mad at you, you are history, in the social sense. Guess who the DEV usually are? ... that's right, part of the 95%.... Question: Why would DEVs waste thier man hours making role playing content for such a small "whiny" minority? Answer: They haven't and they won't anytime soon. Lest you the game player forgets, it's about making a buck. There is no altruism at work here. So, in conclusion, make your role play when and where you can yourself. I do, even in WoW. Let me tell you that is not easy. It was a broken stategy game with a horrid plot line, half baked mechanics, and then they morphed it into a massive version of itself with even more brokem lore. I mean, look at character creation, the Elves lost their Immortality? Right? Per the Lore, yes, yet, like ALL the rest of the world, player AND NPCs, they are still serially immortal. lol. Did they maybe mean Invulnerable? I doubt it. It's just broken lore. And it get's worse from there... So, why do I play? Because my wife plays and it is fun because I make it fun. What more can you ask of a Game? |
