LOL! Am I the only one to see the hilarious irony in that statement? Now that is a true Darkfall fanboy mentality.

 

"The wait to start waiting is over! Let the real wait begin! Yay!!!"

 

 

I find that very funny as well, so you're not the only one at least. It's as if one act of waiting was different from the other. First he states his waiting for Darkfall will be over, so he will start waiting for the game (which is Darkfall). Had he said that his waiting for visual information on the features is over, so now he's going to start waiting for personal confirmation of said features, it would have made sense.

The reason the video has been delayed is because they're too busy developing the game. I'm sure it'll come out soon.

You're just waiting. That's all anyone can say they have done with this game - wait. Waiting for a game to go live involves what I am doing right now - downloading a 9.5 gb beta client for a game that's already been beta tested by thousands of people, is being sold, and about to launch.

 

THAT is "waiting for a game to go live." You guys are celebrating waiting for years for a super-secret video so you can go back to... waiting for the game.

Can't wait to see the half-baked fanboy reply to this one.

Well, they may actually produce the video, I won't deny that possibility.

However, very little of what Tasos has ever said has been carried out. Just a couple months ago he stated there would be two or more articles in MAJOR gaming magazines in August. I've yet to see those articles in ANY major magazine. Where are they?

See what I mean. Tasos says lots of stuff. He promises everything IS coming SOON! But... Soon never seems to come. It is always postponed a little bit longer for one reason or another.

Very convenient to be able to make promises time and time again, and have fans just go along without question.

Well... In my opinion, the time has finally come to produce something.

No more.... just a while longer... in a few weeks... months... years...

You get the idea.

The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

he said hell tells us when they come out.

quote

*We've started collecting in-game footage for a video update which is taking a while being low in the immediate priorities list, but moving along. There have been a couple of magazine interviews; we’ll let you know which ones when they come out. There are a couple of requests for online interviews which we’re doing as well. *
 

and what promises have taso broke?

all i remember is them giving us tmi on there plans and there plans get changed

A lot of us would like to see Darkfall (or a game with many of its theoretical features) happen; we've just grown ... extremely skeptical.

 

The reason we give you a hard time is because we see a certain blindness in the Darkfall loyalists. We see that your expectations have lowered to the point where you wait for months and years for tiny bits of information, bits which usually end up being just words.

 

The latest issue of the video is a good microcosm for the whole affair. Everyone knows it's easy to take video and edit it. Any idiot can get Fraps, Virtualdub and Audacity for free and start rolling. All they would have to do is put a big headline saying "THIS IS RAW GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE" and they wouldn't even have to bother with editing.

 

Nobody expects some cinematic-quality trailer; what people DO expect is some kind of proof of life. That the DF guys hem and haw and delay and promise for months over such a simple thing says a lot.
