Darkfall supposedly uses a free aiming system. This type of system is VERY server intensive and it's simply not a good system to use in a MMOG.

It would be a lag fest like you wouldn't believe with this kind of setup.. High pings.. low pings...  All the high pings would dominate constantly.

Its a complete nightmare to get a system like that functioning properly where everyone is on a level playing field and manage to actually have a smooth running game in massive siege battles.

Mount and blade does it ONLY because it's an offline game.

Disaster waiting to happen. I'am telling you.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, darkfall will never be released for about 6 or 7 years so its not really a concern at the moment.

Well consider the Developers, you know the people making the game, said it will be out 2008/2009.   I tend to believe them over some useless troll.

Take a look at all the MMORPG's ever built. NONE of them use a free aiming system and there's a reason for it -- because it doesn't work in a MMORPG.

The closest thing to it is PlanetSide and even that is not a true free aiming system. It's a hybrid of it.

So because a company wants to do something different then the norm, they will fail?

So know company ever has pulled off something that never been done before?  Your logic is flawed.  You are trying to start a flame war and are trolling.   STOP.

For every new thing that is created, their are people like you that say it CANNOT be done.... You need to learn that anything is possiable.  If a FPS can have 64 on a small map, then it is possiable to have more, its just a matter of figuring out the technology.

 Ya it will be. But not with todays internet and technology.

But ya you're right. I'am sure some start up company without a shred of credibility or experience to their name is going to do it while no other company even dares to try.

Just like the Developers, you know the people making the game, said it will be out in 2003/2004/2005/2006/2007, right?

Do you know what's even funnier about it?

The fact that they have not even tested this type of system with more than a handful of people online and they want to have a very short Beta and launch in 2008.

The more and more I think about this project the bigger and bigger of a joke it becomes.

I can't believe anyone actually believes in this. The majority of their followers have to be some of the most ignorant people I've ever seen in my life.

How do you know how many people they tested this game with?

I can't believe anyone actually waster their time bashing a game they think is a joke.  Those kinds of people have to be the most ignorant people I've ever seen in my life.

Second, because I believe a company can create a game that would have everything I have ever dreamed of in a MMORPG, I am ignorant.  Hmm some how that doesn't make sense.   Seems like your the Ignorant one based on the post you have made. 

As far as the release date, they never gave a release date before, they were beta dates, that is totally different then a release date.

Sorry that you guys can't have faith in anything that has not been proven before.  If more people were like you guys, then the world would have never tried anything new.

Today's internet can handle this without a problem. Technology, we have not even put a dent into what technology can do today.  Your talking without knowing anything about what your talking about.

Its way less server intensive compared to Age of Conan graphics.

Remeber that DF uses very low polygon graphics which will make way less lag issues.

So DF will have way less lag then a game like Age of Conan we already know is a lagfeast.

Graphics have absolutely nothing to do with server lag. They are client side and handled by your video card and PC.

Wow, do you honestly mean to tell me, that a professional developer would base their entire game around this combat system, and have it NOT work? You honestly believe they'd release the combat even if its laggy as Hell? Yup, developers sure do like releasing games that fail.
