In the Darkfall Gameplay video, Aventurine released, I noticed something that caught my attention. In the video, about 4:54 into it, there is a part where, it looks to be the race alfar or mirdain, are hiding up in trees, while shooting their bows at their enemies traveling along the ground. As the arrow hit one, the enemy without any fight at all, goes down, with one shot.

So I am raising the question, do you actually think that there will be a "one shot kill" in this game?

Maby, when you are able to hit that spot.. a bid like a headshot in fps games?

there are no 1 shot dead hits that guy was already hurt.

But how do you know that for sure? Was that you in that video? Because, there is no "life meter" or anything to give us indication on how much life he had.

I kind of wonder now about Kingtommyboy's comment. "when you are able to hit that spot.. a bid like a headshot in fps games?" This is a possibility. I even tried examining the vid more closely. and seeing if I can see where the arrow hits, exactly. But I am still without a answer.

Aye, no oneshot killing in Darkfall.

The guy that died to that archer had low hitpoints already.

and there are no hitboxes (no headshots). there is only back and front of an enemy. hitting the back makes more damage.

as devs explained it, hitboxes are out, because there could be a lot of lag trouble with hitboxes when a lot of players (about 100 in case of siege) are in a battle at once.

Because the developers informed us that he was already on low hitpoints.

It's been discussed on Darkfall main board.

if you stop video when archer aims, you can see the healthbar. it is almost empty. so one shot killed in this scenario. but as you see in the same movie, group of archers have to fire many times, to kill ork (6 or 7 arrows in his body).

Oh okay. I see that now and I am glad to hear that there will not be. Thank you very much Aragon100, for bringing that to my attention and also providing actual evidence of this. 
 

That was a setup for the video, there will be no one-shot kills in Darkfall.

That was just for cinematic reasons. One shot kills are not in.
