Well, its finally time to watch this game crash and burn.  Closing the open beta and saying the lag is gone when there are probably a max number of 100 people on the server at one time...  O did I mention... saying they fixed lag/desync when everything is disabled is the biggest lie I have seen since the start of the beta... It goes in high step with all the false advertising trailers they were releasing showing awesome dragons that were never even put into the beta...

This is going to be awesome to watch...  I can't wait to see what the fans will do...  /cuts wrists

 its not disabled server side just client side. thats part of the issues witht he client atm too. the client we have now is a new build. its not the old one. but i think there jumping the gun by saying its fixed. and thee not going by the amount of testers on the server. there going by what they see in the in house testing. they had some packet issues witht he old engine and theyc ouldnt find them the new engine has the proper tools to see whats wrong. Hence why they said its fixed. but i can almost bet as soona s the stuff is enabled client side for the testers shits going to brreak again.

Only if you $ paid/pay $ Starvault. 

Since there is still much to be tested, did they say why the Open Beta closed?   

 its on the home page its to prepare for release.

I am happy to see others have done the same but tire of reading about the poor people of our community insulting those of us that actually paid out of pocket that we waisted our money. Its to our benefit that all games make it in the market so that they and future game developers learn from each other to make the games we are all looking for in the end. If you think the game choices are bad now try finding games without investors and those of us that can afford to donate to our video game future. 

 

nope u are not helping anyone here, u are a bad invester period.  U are the reason why the mmo keep getting worse and worse each year b/c they know ppl like u will buy it and waste ur money on the box no matter how bad the game is.

 

 QFT.   Everytime you help set the bar lowered for a game.. you set the stage for the next group to lower it even more. IMHO this hurts the community as a whole. It's your right to do so, but it's my belief that it's a harmful action.

 

That last thing I would EVER encourage someone to do is "donate to our videogame future"...

 i will donate a misly 50 bucks if it helps stop all these MMos like WOW.

i even pre ordered xsyon. and thats not doing that hot atm

 Can we get past the absoulutely retarded idea that SV is a charity. You aren't supposed to "donate" anything. You are supposed to buy their game because you would enjoy it. Giving them money just reinforces the idea for game companies to sell preorders for their unfinished games.

I think it's stupid to hate on WoW, but if you really want to "beat" WoW then you have to stop giving companies free passes by buying their shit.

 actully we have to help indie companys out because they dont have the resources blizzard does. no big company is goin g to make a good mmo except maybe square enix

Actually no, you don't have to help out anyone, and by not helping out anyone you drive the quality of all games higher, because the developers realize that you don't want their shit games. 

 except

we are gettting shit games from devs we dont help.

Also the desync is now gone meaning the game can get back on track soon :) Yay (We also have new content!)

LOL what?   http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/41762-desync-feedback-thread-3.html

 

Even IF the desync was gone, how would you know it was fixed?  Most of the game features are disabled and server is hardly packed.

Well there is no desync now so they can begin to do things like reactivate features silly.

 not until they fix the current bugs that cropped up

will find out what it's like in open beta, the major concerns i have are

if the game has so many custom options (which make it look great) then if i am on a mission and i run in to a group of 15 people all with heavly desgined cars and shirts/everything else then will the game have a lag problem trying to get all the custom desgins or igore the graphics making the whole custom side a moot point.  Will see how the game deal with that issue when it comes open beta.

 

Where the servers are based could also be a major problem for me. As it's a fps at heart so ping times matter alot more than in other mmos.

 

also will be nice to see how they have done the pvp side of the game e.g if i am in a gang/socitey/guild can we control area and what does it mean to control space and what do we get for doing it (i know it's the game is instanced hence why it will be nice to see how they pull it off for me)  my biggest fear for the pvp side of the game is if they have just done it so you take a mission and once thats done it has no real effect so in a few mins after the mission is over no one could tell that they was a blood bath in that area

 cough doing just fine at 200 ping at 400 tho you can really tell there is only one hit box. so its not quite like say halo or something

I hear where you are coming from laughing-man... I remember countless times when mobs would pop already claimed by JP players. The ping is an issue when camping NMs because people are sitting there spamming their /provoke "target name" macro, so whoever has the faster ping gets the mob...  it isn't my system specs either so that isn't an excuse, I have a top of the line system.

 And hyanmen I know how upset you get about anything anti-SE but i'm not saying that SE is playing favorites with this, this is simply a location advantage, SE probably didn't intend for the JP players to have an advantage. But either way it is still an issue and should be looked into if FFXIV has NMs. (hopefully the NMs will be force popped)

If you are going to complain, at least complain about a real issue and not a non-existent one.

The game is poorly coded; it lags no matter how high your specs are. Only by deleting unnecessary mobs and changing your resolution to 512x512 or something similar will give you an advantage.

Guess who figured that out first?

There are so much better things to complain about when it comes to HNM's (or the game in general) and you pick the one that doesn't make any difference.. yes, I am upset about that. So sorry.

 i didnt lag on my newer builds and i was running 2048 background rez

 LAG not dysync. crashes where worse too but that the result of the new engine. now what if all the features where enabled how would they figure out whats causing the crash?

 Perhaps you did not experience any desync because of your great connection to the server.  i fyou actually read the desync thread though, you would see that there are tons of folks who are not only experiencing desync, but are experiencing it even worse than a month ago. 

 theres alot more fps lag for me than dysync. but this is for testing anyway waiting on more patches before i make remarks that i have no clue on

If you've seen some of the leaked beta screenshots or the screenshots released during the Noob comic previews, you would know that the graphics are nothing close to what is shown here, not that this screenshot is anything amazing to write home about.

Classic bait n' switch.

because this is close to max settings from the devs soem of the settings dont do anything atm for the testers client.

and screenshots and vids dont do this game justice really

Well  if a mob passed me while chasing another player, and my faction with that mob was negative so it also disliked me, then logically it should attack me on it's way back to where it normally patrolled.

I miss that kind of sensible AI which existed in classic EQ. Most of the newer theme park games either warp the NPC mob back to its starting point or code the NPC mob to ignore other players while it heads back to its starting spot, even though it's original target is cleared from its hate list.

I hope Darkfall truly does have realistic AI for NPC mobs.

 

Well, it depends on the purpose of mobs. In the end, mobs are powerups. If the game was predominantly a pve game then I would agree with you.

But since this is a pvp game, the mob really is there to just further your character and make the world seem like it has a little bit of life.

actully pve is there for the same reason pvp there game play

Probably not going to be many NPC mobs in this game. You are mainly going to be fighting other players with hopefully some form of intelligence.

thre will be plenty of mobs in game

Feature-complete, and feature-tested...Are two different subjects, but whatever, Everquest-boy.

I do, however, disagree with them only leaving one month to beta-test this game.  It's a risky move, but from what I'm reading from "most" (all but one) beta testers(), the game's good, so far.

So it's really up to Aventurine, if they play it stupid and shoot themself in the foot, let them.  But at least try to be happy...Things are actually starting to look better.  

WOw your being postitive for once

Yeah, my mood on here tends to be affected by Darkfall's "state of game".  I still think Aventurine's stupid as hell for leaving the NDA up, it makes me worry...I really doubt it has any other usage other than making me go, "Are they hiding something?"

But whatever, I want in beta; those bastards.

 

if you read tasos update. thats the very reason why the nda is still up because of stuff being fixed that broke with the stress test. nda will come down hopefully before preorders. 

i think they should had a bigger regular closed beta before the mass invites. but most stuff works just some bugs involved XD : )

I would say they are medium, but have some pretty cool style.  Definitely not Oblivion, but not FFXI either.  Probably exactly what you would imagine from an indy type company.  The animations will likely be awkward, and graphics decent.

This game is much more about features over graphics, but if you look on youtube you can see a lot of gameplay footage to answer the question for yourself.

Graphics are always an opinion to different gamers.  I have always loved FFXI graphics.  If a brand new MMO came out that was feature complete with FFXI graphics I would love it.  Some people have to have bump mapping and games that require 500$ video cards.  It is all about features and gameplay for me.

i think ffxi gfx highest settings are inbetween this games low and max

Have FUN when you will see 20 characters like that with full per pixel lighting and prey for your FPS to dont go close to zero.

 

And to comment the pic. Whats so impressive here? Honestly, the human model is just uninspired... grass? every games have that.. trees? imho looks crapy, nothing impressive. Horse looks good, sword and shield, rest is crap. No artwork, no originality.

 

nope there alot of tricks being used for good fps

i think some client options for gfx isnt enabled O_o
