Seriously, who CARES about the UI. that is the most unimportant, easily developed, and incosequential piece of crap in the whole game.
As for someone playing Darkfall -- see the leaked 2005 alpha video............

This is the way the Darkfall ends Not with a beta but a whimper. |
I’ll wait until August is over or this video is released before I continue this discussion, because it seems rather useless when this video might finally prove conclusively either way beyond reasonably doubt. But I will make the prediction that this video will probably be postponed again or come very late in August. Will be of relatively short duration. Will most likely contain footage of things that have already been seen before. Will probably have an emphasis on “large battles” to the exclusion or detriment of other features. Will probably fail to compressively show all of Darkfalls proposed features using game play footage. And the majority of the community will be dissatisfied or indifferent about its content. And a small minority of the community will insist it proves how good / bad Darkfall will definitely be. And it will pose more questions then it answers about Darkfall’s state of development. And it will be the source of continuous contention. And Tasos will make some statements attempting to explain, justify or excuse away any actual or potential criticisms of the video. But of course this is not really a prediction because it’s just what’s happened every other time they have released a video in the past. |

One guy jumping and being hit by a bunch of NPCs. Looked more like an Oblivion mod. Whereas in the FE vid there are obvious other players moving around. Like all the vids DF has, no life to it. No "this is an mmo!!" screaming out at me, whereas FE clearly gives the impression of being an mmo. |

We go to the judge's score cards. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a split-decision. And the winner, hailing from parts unknown...Zorvan! |

the 2005 alpha leak vid is done with a camcorder... http://youtube.com/watch?v=nU2ta1EsggE event ho this says 2003 it was actully 2005 your very confusing |

Originally posted by Zorvan That’s the reason why I’m happy just to just wait for games like Fallen Earth, they have released hours of game play footage whilst demonstrating their game at numerous tradeshows, let me just repeat that again, HOURS of game play footage and all the usual trailers and videos etc. and they have only just recently announced they are in Alpha, not to mention all the other relatively massive amount of information released. Darkfall has apparently been in internal Beta for over a year, yet we have so far only seen MINUTES of game play footage after 8 years of development of various kinds, and they have never publicly demonstrated Darkfall at a tradeshow, and only openly demonstrated the game to a select few. Those are facts that cannot be disputed, what they indicate is of course open to interpretation, but hopefully by the end of the year we will know why. |

Yep, video taped himself playing a singleplayer game. Again, footage of MULTIPLE people playing, since DF is supposedly an mmo.. Like I said, if they are testing, it should be a cakewalk to get footage of MULTIPLE people playing the game together. |

If you'd follow along with the conversation, you'd see I mean NOW, not then. I even said "They are", not "They were". And I'm not going to "cry" to anybody. See, that's your problem. People try to have a fucking conversation to explain their opinions/side, and you labe it as "crying". Whatever, I'm sure everyone else is able to figure things out from here, so I'm out. |
