MO is just vaporware, its even "developed" in Sweden.....much smaller country then Greece. TCoS seems to be a really nice PvE MMO (i have just dl it) but its no DF.

 

interesting... well it almost seems unfair to declare something "vaporware" w/out any proof but why call it that after checking out their website...

Now i feel sorry for any new dev that might want to bring out a new idea or game... they could be accused of "vaporware" syndrome ...

Now could MO end up belly up and never come out, sure that could happen, and could happen to any company for any number of reasons, ... does that make it vaporware?

For that matter would you consider this vaporeware since it's in it's early stages?

Community.

I'd like to preface my observations with the clarification that I'm not making a global indictment on Darkfall forum posters.

That being said, that community is inhabited by some of the most vile, rude, crude, grammar impaired, immature brats I've ever run across.  I thought WoW had a nasty bunch (and it does) and Vanguard's community had some real gems when it was in development.  But man, it seemed like every other post on the official DF forums had a blistering list of responses whose only purpose was to insult and denigrate the OP.   Oddly, I don't see it on these DF forums so much, at least not to the degree as the Aventurine forums.

Of course, I realize not all DF fans are like that, any more than all WoW players are like that.  It was just shocking to see the number of insulting responses to posts on so many posts.  

But, typical of hardcore pvp games, you'd better have a thick skin, because the personalities don't get sweeter in the game. 

my grammer sucks just because i stop caring about it long itme ago ic ould do grammer if i felt like it but im actully anice person but i dont like certain people that keep creating alt accounts

oooooh pfffffffffffft

 

I would prioritize gameplay/combat/skill mechanics first then graphics... but I won't rule out graphics either... I want to have my cake and eat it

YEa sb gfx are horrible couldnt play that type of gfx but darkfalls and ffxi is fine warhammer is too sterlie to me. wow is to cartoony ><

Simple answer: Why can't we have both. Many people paid a lot of money for there rig and videocard, why waste all that horsepower on a game that plays good but looks like poop.

WE WANT BOTH.

If you disagree with that then that means your rig is old and outdated.

but with high end gfx you lmit the gameplay ALOT

and you limit the player base

The problem with your post.   No Grinding.   WRONG.   It's an MMO.   Grinding is in,  but instead of grinding for a level, you'll be grinding for skill.  Grinding for materials,  Grinding for fun. 

 

Maybe this is where you are confused. The whole "premise" behind Darkfall is that you won't have to grind "for fun". You can make a brand new character and immediately go exploring in the world. Your "grinding for skills" comes automatic as you get better in the things that you participate in.

Want to become an archer? Well the more you pull back that bow the better you'll get. You don't "have" to do anything. You don't "have" to go anywhere. You can sit in a town and relax for all you care.

That's the difference many of us are looking forward to. You don't have to do quest chain A to get to level B. You play how you want to play, and thus by doing so, you get better in the things you want to get better in.

Well, that can technically be said of any MMO.

 

In UO, EQ, AC, WoW, SWG, EQ2, LoTRo, WAR, AoC, etc...

In all those games you didn't "have" to do anything.  You don't "have" to go anywhere.  You could just sit in town and relax for all you care.

See... that statement is kinda what ALL MMOs are about.  You don't really "have" to do anything.

 

Now if you want to progress and advance your character on the other hand... now you'll "have" to do something.  In that regards, DarkFall will be no different.

If you want to progress your skills you are going to need to do stuff. 

You are going to need money for training some skills. 

You are going to need money to do crafting, or buy things from vendors/crafters. 

You are going to need money for a mount. 

You are going to need to find trainers for the higher skills.

You are going to need to explore to find what you need to advance your skills.

 

So yeah, you don't "have" to do anything... just like any other MMO.  I got a feeling that would get kinda boring pretty fast though... just like in any other MMO. 

 

 

This is where Darkfall claims to be different. Yes, you'll need money to do things, but you can do it so many different ways.

Do you want to craft and sell items for money? Then fine.

Do you want to go and kill some poor sap and loot his body? Fine.

How about getting your guild to go sneak into a player run city and kill them and take their bank's gold? Sure.

That's why I'm excited, because unlike most MMOs that are linear, in Darkfall there will be numerous ways to get to the same end, it's really on what you decide.

you cant take the banks gold

EQ are you blind? EQ is worse than wows and df gfx ar ebetter than wows and they look a better style that warhammers and probly better gfx than warhammer too  since we havent seen max settinngs yet

Does anyone have any information about a NA release of Darkfall? I'd like to know if they plan on releasing it and what the ETA might be. If they aren't is there going to be a way to aquire the game and play from NA?

you can play on eu servers at first and you just buy it online and download it

then when na servers come up you jsut create a character on that server if you want too

I would say Na release at most 6 months after eu release but thats a guess

just because they said soon after but not soon enough

You can wait til the beta starts and try it yourself.. but so far the beta seems to fall into the promises and hype catagory also.

All we have is the devs saying it will be 'better than every other mmorpg".

 

quote it please they never said that? i mean in a way they have but it doesnt matter if there being honest it doenst matter if theys how proof or not. i have a feeling they are XDDD but hey you will see wont you

btw theres 700-1000 in beta now will the game burn during pubklic beta or will there way of testing actully work? thats the only thing that im worried about atm

 

Yes. They have. Many times. Devlopment started in 2003. They have said a lot of crap.

 

They dont need to beta test, they have Bots.

 

where is that quote? prove your point or stay down

Look for yourself, its right on this site. Or any of the other numerous interviews.

 

They use supper fancy AI to test the game.

I recall them saying something along the lines of "Our closed beta won't need to be as long as many other MMO games, because we've been doing extensive internal testing" Of course that's a paraphrase off memory, and I don't see how anyone gets the idea of bots or, not needing to do testing out of it.

well tasos did mention the help from there AI but its such a vague statemeant to what extent are they actully helping them

I think what can be factually said about the size of the Darkfall 'public' beta, is, that it is small enough in number where not one single (genuine) looking leak has occurred to date. So could that happen with 700 - 1,000 people testing? Personally, I really don't think so. And I simply don't believe your number for one moment downtoearth, nor your 'I know for a fact' assertions either.

But when the NDA comes down and you can tell us all about your beta testing experience, send me a PM. And if I owe you an apology, I'll make it.

actully there was go to the darkfall blog site that has the leaks it was of the 4 screenshots. to bad that guy got caught because it has to much info in it.

the reason i know is becomes my friend is in beta

which he proved to me how hard is that to belive god damn you guys are thick headed.

i have no reason to lie about this none what so ever.

alot of invites are based on trust and if you have played any mmos wiht the devs in the past then it goes from there. there been plenty of leaks in private to be honest and i mean ALOT. its stupid to post shit in public because all it does is get you caught. even my friend is warry of the NDA/contract. and to be honest if i got into beta i wouldnt be here. because it scares me too >.>

You can say it as many times as you want.  That doesn't make it true.

Look, downtoearth.  I'm sure you are very trustworthy and have never told a lie in your entire life.  I'm sure you know there are 700+ people in beta.

The problem is, you are on the internet.  We don't know you.  Without some type of hard evidence to your claim most people will not believe you.  So I don't really see the point in posting this in every thread on these forums.  The people that believe you already do and everyone else is not going to be swayed without some type of proof.

i already proved my case to some people heh

"someone was accepted into beta"    News at 11.

With 23 days til launch, we now have secondary rumors that one person may, or may not have been accepted into a beta, which doesn't even mean they actually started playing it yet.

I take it DF will be in OB on jan22 ? so if its in OB then the client should be free and free to play while in OB. Is this correct ?

 

yea except open beta should be before that

 

open beta should be going on right now based on what Lord Tasos has said.

well tech shaar said it plans change it snot that big a deal as long as it happens and it was actully said at the event thing not really ina ny annuncmeant plus they never gave a date jsut a time frame . all well it iwll happen some time here press beta is first tho which shouldnt be no more than a week im guessing then public beta after that they have to see what server cap is
