Seriously, make an article or something. The new Darkfall game will be relaunched way before many of the titles advertised on here are released, it's going to be pretty big :)

Is there any concrete ( no speculation ) info on DF 2.0 besides a possible server wipe,  siege system overhaul, redesigned map with a new resource layout?

Isn't DF 2.0 news only about a week old?

We've been getting updates on it for about a year but it's just been under different project names.

- Redesigned map

- New siege system

- New and improved graphics, new models and animations

- Dynamic lighting and dynamic sound system

- New map interface tool

- New UI

- New armour system where wearing certain armour types inhibit / encourage different styles of play

- Prestiege classes

- Quest system rewrtieen fron scratch

- sooo much more but I cba to shift through all the blogs

Hopefully the prestige classes and armor types effectively recreate the affect a skill cap would have on the game. I always hated the one size fits all characters.

MMORPG.com does not know every little detail about every game. You need to submit news simple as!

Use that link to inform them about posting anything news worthy.

 

Edit - BTW Massively.com has not posted much either maybe Adventurine is the people responsable for no news being posted up by not informing the media.

My guess is that is the problem.  They probably need to get confirmation from AV about what is all going to be in the relaunch, since it was labeled like that.

What's the article going to look like? "Tasos just announced Darkfall 2.0. We have no idea if the big man means it's going to be a new game or an update to the current game."

they have a long history of not keeping promises , so maybe we are hearing so little about 2.0 because its a bit of, ya well i will believe it when i see it , lets not forget this game was on many people's vaporware list before it came out.

AV problem will forever be that they overpromise and under deliver.  Simple as that.  So until something real is released  then its all speculation as AV is its own worst enemy when it comes to marketing.

Yeah, I think they learned from the first time around ;) Many of the game's "followers" were left quite crushed upon release after seeing that some of the key features they were looking forward to never saw the light of day.

From my observations of the genre over the years, I have found that unless something is actually tried and true, and it's going to make launch indefinitely, it's best if the devs not flap their lips about any features that are not are 100% for sure. The long term damage that is sustained due to "broken promises" (to put it dramatically) is just not worth it.

no way. After all this talk, its making me actually want to sub to DF again. Last time I played, the game felt so empty

Isn't DF2 just DF? Clearly already a DF forum.

I really liked my time in DF, but does anyone here really think this DF2 patch/new game will come out in the next 1-2 years?  Im not ranting here but i just cant see them pulling this off.  I hope but just have no faith i guess.  I have more faith ArcheAge will NA launch before DF2.

As i write this i almost want to resub....
