DF mobs aim to hit, WoW mobs tab target.    enough said

 

HuH?????? WTF are you babbling about?

Is the latest response that Tasos approved for you to post? BTW how do I get on the shillbot mailing list? I would like to see what marching orders Tasos is sending out to the sycophants.

Lol. I've seen some pretty nonsensical posts from Darth and the like, but this one takes the cake by far. Freakin' hilarious, thank you!

Cinematic trailers have to be good, they're meant to sell the product and make you drool. That being said, this one was particularly well done (though a little short). Though as posted on the Gametrailers site in the comments section, "EH. They could of just bombed the whole place from orbit in a few seconds; however, somehow that's not as cinematic." Hehe.

On another note, it was just a typical "Evil is cool, come to the Dark Side because we have scarred guys with ventilators, crashing ships, Bounty Hunters, and cookies!" promo trailer.

Glad to see both Jedi and Sith wearing some type of light, flexible armor, not just robes. Looks awesome.

Basically, that's what a troll is, although normally trolls spread misinformation or make stupid posts in order to create a negative atmosphere, denounce their target game, or just because they're bored losers. You can call genuinely misinformed/stupid people "junior trolls" if you want, but in reality, those are the people we should educate, not report.

Edit: If they refuse to be educated and continue to make misinformed/stupid posts, then that is also considered trolling and trolling is already reportable.

*Still scratching head over OP's logic...or lack thereof...?*

But the game im really looking forward to is Dragon Age....... If I'm playing an MMO at that time I'll probobly be taking a break for a while.

I plan on getting The Witcher, I read the book The Last Wish which is more or less what the game is based on...however I am trying to get the uncut version of the game.

I want to play Dragon Age, unfortunately we've still got a while before it comes out.

There's an uncut version? I got the Enhanced Edition (if you're gonna get it, get the Enhanced Edition). Good game. There were some uncensored files you could download from the forums, if that's what you meant.

(I know very little about this game).

Wait, a vampire MMO targetted to 18-25 yr. FEMALES? What other "chick book" has vampires in it...oh God...

Well, I think it's a different shift in direction and I hope it works out for CCP. Hell, my girlfriend thought EVE was boring, but I thought it was a pretty good game. EVE can be the boy's game, and WoD can be the girl's. 

I'm not sure I'm following your reasoning here. You assume that if a game has to close, you'd rather it be a "crappy" game than "one that deserves to keep its doors open". However, if the game is crap, it'll naturally have less subs than a "game that deserves to keep its doors open". That's how the market works - if you don't make money because you don't have a good enough product, you will have to close shop.

Maybe you're suggesting that these bad games take subs away from the good ones, because inevitably, some people will find those games enjoyable. Unlike Wild West towns, though, the market is big enough for the two of them. Most people are going to choose the better product and if enough people do that, the lesser will eventually close down. No one needs to go around spreading the message that "X game should be closed down!"... it will happen on its own.

If two games, one good or decent and one terrible, were put into a life or death cagematch with their quality as their only weapons, then I think this thread would make sense. But it's not just that simple, bad economy or not.

You know I have been a long time fan of this game. I have defended this game time and time again.

I will be cancelling my account tommorow, if nothing is done about this.

I love the game. but I am unwilling to pay and to continue to play this game if this is goign to happen.

 

OK as I have had words with Jon in the past and maybe some were nasty I have to think there is some credence to this if he agrees and threatens to cancel. The sad  part is that at one time I really wanted this game to break through so that there would be a broader future for games in this genre. Sadly it is AV who may be killing its own game more than the game if that makes any sense. SOrry to hear the screwing continues.

 

I was directly involved in this siege.

I was in a group of people who ran for an HOUR accross the world to participate. I spent totaly of about 3 hours on this siege, not to even mention the hours spent harvesting mats for the cannons, horses, gear that was used.

we won the siege and second later the game did not crash, it was purposefully taken down, because there was a message saying the server was being shutdown.

the game was rolled back about a minute and the city was lost.

once again... I love this game, but this is unacceptable.

Hehe. Sorry to hear about this, guys. "Trolls", let's go easy on 'em. Don't say "We tried to warn you", etc., etc. It's never good when a person loves a game but is forced to quit because of issues like this. It's all about individual tolerance level, and despite this debacle, I'm sure most of the DF subs will remain tomorrow.

Still...most of the people on this list i have never heard of (probly ignorance on my part)

Same here, really. Steefel, Jacobs, Smedley (it's important for someone to show us how not to do things, right?), and a few others are all I can immediately recognize.

Edit: I will now, and always, laugh at Godager. Glad he's on the list.

Well written, and the picture for "Failure" was hilarious. Good read.

Well, I don't "HATE" Aion, I'm not very interested in it at the moment. But one of my big turnoffs is the overall style. Girly men, rediculously sized weapon and over-the-top, glowy, shiny WoW-esque armor, and ballerina combat? No thanks. I know it's Asian, but really. Graphics, though, are respectably good, even if the style isn't for me.

Wow. I think rhinok just became my new forum hero. He plays the game, but he has a brain? Call Dr. Tasos, one escaped from the funny farm! He is still capable of rational thought!

Also, hilarious title. I guess tomorrow morning will be an epic sunset in Darkfall, too. Big battles are always nice, I suppose, even in a game like Darkfall.

You'd figure that if a large group of people are in consensus, you should at least consider what they're saying instead of labeling them as "whiners".

Now, about this whole thing, it's pretty funny. I'd rather they celebrated their one year anniversary with 1.05, instead of a botched event like this.

We can only hope the release of 1.5 will be handled more professionally than this poor excuse called "event".

Seriously.

Add in a weight burdens. If you are wearing full armor and have a full backpack you should not be able to run as fast as someone in a robe and nothing in their backpack.

So ranged chars kite the hell out of anyone wears good armor.  Not that ranged guys have already big advantage. Leads again to build of classes through backdoor.

weight on backpack is worth a discussion.

Well, that can actually be balanced also.

But IRL walking in a full armor is heavy work, if you ever spent a day in one you know what I am talking about. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to get into battle without one because it takes only one cut or stab to either kill or at least hurt a person without armor badly, while you can spend 30 minutes hitting someone in real plate.

Real knights have a horse and lance evening out the odds, problem is that longbow men can get thru their armor on a good hit. On the other hand they need a good hit so I prefer being the knight in that scenario anyways.

MMO devs don't know how much incredibly better you get in a real armor but it of course have it's disadvantages also. If you put in movement penalties you just have to balance up that by making the armor better like it actually is. Unless someone have a black powder gun of course, then you are screwed. Pikes are also annoying if you are on a horse.

While all of that is true, range will always have the advantage. And I think you can never truly balance melee vs. ranged on a one vs. one scale, because unless every melee player has a horse with mounted combat being possible (which, of course, ranged people would consider OP), they will eventually die from ranged fire.

It's only balanced in real life because battles were never 1 vs. 1, 12 vs. 12, or even 100 vs. 100. If you have a line of several hundred infantry advancing towards an enemy that's shooting at you, many of your men will die. Quality of armor determines how many, but still, it's only balanced when there are massive numbers. Even if you lose a third of your men in that group, they will be able to advance to the ranged enemy and cut them down (because ranged should definitely be very weak against melee).

Class balance is tricky - no kidding. If we want realistic combat, big battles, we'll have to get used to dying, teamwork, etc. Of course, that goes against the whole mentality of an RPG - having YOUR character. And it'll undoubtedly bring up complaints of "LOL no Death Penalty, I'm too much of a masochist to play this noob game!"

Anyways, those are just my thoughts. This whole thread is quite rediculous, I've only seen one "valid" response so far, but some funny pictures.

The first thoughts that come to my mind when im just about to reply to this is, honeslty when hasent something similar to this not happened in any other software thats ever been made.  If its not something with the actual game mechanics and some long gun exploiting something its a dislike.  Being as this is a new game, with a small dev team, i can see something like this happeneing.  It could also be a corrupt gm in game that has combined forces with these players.  Why are you calling it stealing also, just call it an exploit and thats it.  Theres plenty of them in every game. 

But i also think that you had a nice seige or what ever there called going on and its kinda sad that it had to end.  I still want a copy of darkfall though. 

Maybe if Darkfall was free, sure, I'd want to try it. Actually, you can spend your money however you want. Just keep believing that exploits like this happen in every game.

Hint: People don't report common things, RARE or UNIQUE incidents make better news.

"Dumb troll,s you'z dont' even playz da game and you dunno bout da newestest patchy notez that states Aventoourine added in flyingz airships!!! Now you can drop bombs on da baddies right in the middlez of Pvp!!11"

Like the title says, will there be any 'star wars' in this?  Thats the one thing in SWG that I did like..customizing ships etc.

I play EvE right now for my space fix, but I'd love it if TOR gave me a reason to leave.

 

Thanks.

 

Forget about SWG! I hope there is litttle to 0 resemblence to SWG.I hope they get it right and try not to make another clone of an existing game.

You know how many cranky "good ol' days" vets will burn you alive for saying that? They have wet dreams about another (pre-NGE) SWG game. Even though Bioware has not suggested that TOR will be like SWG.

To OP, yeah, I hope so too. The ships during Luke's time were always goofy, but the ships from the newer Star Wars movies are sleeker, faster, and more "spacey", so I hope to see (and be able to fly!) some of those in-game.

 

 

I am a Day 1 SWG vet,and believe me,I do not want to see another game like it. I played SWG,in its pre-cu,cu and NGE states,Been there done that. I am looking for a new game experience and it looks like Kotor Online might be on to somthing.

Oh no! The indiscriminate power of assumption has forsaken me once again. Sorry. I get what you're saying, though, and I hope you understand the point I was trying to get across. No doubt you've noticed it as well.
