    I think you're in denial of the facts. The tentonhammer guys saw the game, did the interview, and reported it on their own website as occurring at E3. The same guys recently reported on the WOW WotLK expansion - are they faking that too?

    ...unless you're suggesting they're in on this world-wide Darkfall conspiracy or whatever crazy notion you believe.

    The facts speak for themselves.

    The fact is, the TTH DF interview was an INTERVIEW and they did NOT play the game.  You cant make up your own "facts".

    Did you even read the articles you linked?  In the WotLK article, the first thing they say is that they got to sit down and try the game.  In the DF interview, they say no such thing.

    So, yes, the actual facts speak for themselves.

    I didn't say they played it, I said "saw" the game, which if you look at the first picture you'll see a picture of the guy sitting in front of the laptop. The title of the article is "First impressions", implying they saw the game. If they didn't see the game it would have been called an interview. The text "their physics and combat system are very realistic" is first person and also strongly suggests they saw the game. Lastly, interviews given by the Darkfall devs indicate they took a standalone demo version of the game to the event.

    Yes facts do speak for themselves when you use your eyes and common sense. Not to mention there are other first-person accounts of people who have seen and/or played the game.

     

    A lot of people say plenty of things.  Did they show you a video or exclusive never seen before screenshots?  Did they perhaps show you some great innovative feature?  Did they even take a picture of a computer with the game running on it?  Anything?  No?  Okay.. wonderful.  I'm glad we got that out of the way.

• • Still vaporware? E3 presence?

  • Wow... another year of nothing.  It still amazes me the stupidity that people possess in these Darkfall forums.  Defending what you believe in is one thing.. but even being proven wrong and getting your nose shoved into it doesn't change your mind.  It's like everyone and everything points to the fact that grass is green, yet some of you still believe that it is yellow and that one day, the grass will change and we'll all be proven wrong.  Yes, piss is yellow too, that's about the only way it's going to change =P

     

    This game has been in development for almost a decade.  Does anyone know what a decade is?  I'll tell you!  It's 10 freaking years.  How many games have been developed after that?  I'll venture to guess that very few have pulled that off, if any.  And certainly not a MMO of any kind.  They promise a 2003 release, you get nothing.  2004 release, you get nothing.  2005 release, again, nothing.  And in 2006 you think you see a glimmer of hope, nope.. nothing.  2007?  No.  It's now 2008 and they have yet again missed the biggest gaming convention of the year.  Even the smallest, crappiest game companies with horrible games come to this event.  It is the mack daddy of events.  Yet, Darkfall can't even manage to show up.  I would have felt better if they just said...   "Hey, we're here!  Sorry, no presentations!  But, we're here!"... So.. they either can't afford a booth, or they don't have a game, a logical analysis would dictate. 

     

    Yet, whenever Vaporware is mentioned, it's met with scorn and hot tempers.  Ignorance doesn't even describe the steadfast denial of these Darkfall fans.  It's more like borderline insanity.  This is why I'm putting the next bit at the bottom, just to see how many people actually read through before resorting to personal attacks.  I personally believe that if this game is made, it should be great.  I'm an old UO'er.  I love this type of play style.  If it hit the shelves tomorrow, I'd be there with box in hand at the register.  You better believe it.  That said, I'm not stupid.  I'm not going to make myself look like an absolute moron because I like what Darkfall has promised.. forget the fact that they've broken their promise about 10 times now.  Until this company shows the gamer fans respect.  Unless this company interacts with the community as if we are actually people.  Until this company stands at E3 or has a press release of ANY significance.  Unless I see anything other than broken promises...  This game is...

     

    Wait for it..

     

    VAPORWARE!

• • Why don't You want to raid any longer in MMO?

  • When the game you're playing starts to feel like a second job, then it's time to think about quitting.  Vent doesn't bother me, being serious and organized during raids doesn't bother me, raiding times don't bother me.  If you have all of those things in place, it makes your raiding experience much easier, and MUCH quicker.

     

    With me, I quit WoW when I woke up one day, with no job, no money, on day 45 of my rep grind.  The day when I realized that I just spend almost two months preparing for the opportunity to raid, leveling up to 70.  This was right after the Outland.  And I knew what was to come.  Countless days of grinding a raid dungeon, 8 hours a day, because we don't know the encounters and we don't have the gear to blaze through it yet.  Now, normally I'd just say, but then I'd be okay, with my tier 4.  But, I already knew what would happen.  They'd release a new dungeon, with a new tier and I'd have to spend months to get ready for that.  Only to have another dungeon come out and I'd have to grind and grind and grind some more to be successful. 

     

    it really is when you stop having fun and it becomes more of a job than a game.

    Wow, I hate using the whole fanboi/troll thing.  It bothers me, it really does.  But come on people.  In every combat clip that I've watched since the first one was ever released, it's just a bunch of different classes standing around, and every 3 or 4 seconds, they swing.  Anyone who's played DAoC should be able to tell where they got their spell effects from.  WoW Anti-gravity garbage.  Characters look like they are floating along the surface, rather than actually running on it.  The graphics are slightly better than WoW's and you guys are going nuts?  Are you serious? 

     

    So now they are axing 1/3 of their classes, 2/3 of their cities and a bunch of other very vital things to the game... yet people still get excited over graphics that aren't even that great to begin with.  Damn Blizzard for bringing in so many new gamers.  Their only concept of an MMO is World of Warcraft.

    
     

    THE FINAL LIGHTING SYSTEM IS NOT IN YET. NOT EVEN THE BETA TESTERS HAVE SEEN THE FINAL GRAPHIC BUILD.

    I don't know how many times you must stress a point for someone to understand it... good lord. People are playing the game for their first time... they don't know what buttons and skills to use, hence why it looks slow. And the spell effects actually remind me of DAoC, considering, you know, the same guy who did the spell effects in DAoC is doing the spell effects again in WAR.

    How the hell is 4 out of 24 classes 1/3 of the classes? Fortresses have been put in place of the other capital cities, and you still need to sack both fortresses before you can capture Altdorf or the Inevitable City. And the content has NOT been cut, only delayed from the launch of the game.

    If you think this is anything like World of Warcraft, have you been following the development of this game, at all?

     

    No one has seen dx10 from AoC either, and it's nearly 2 months after release..  who's to say WAR will deliver? 

     

    I know you probably made a mistake.. but how can I give you any credit when at the end of your reply, you claim that I said WAR is like WoW.  Because... I mean, you even quoted my post.. I obviously didn't say that.  I'm not going to repeat what I said.. However, it is obvious that I was speaking of the typical gamer mentality after the emergence of WoW.

     

    Don't give me they are playing for their first time BS.  I played AoC PvP weekend for my first time and I was still able to use several different spells and abilities consecutively.  The first time I played WoW, I actually did fairly well.  I mean, anyone playing there probably has some sort of video game background on a PC.  They've probably played a game where you actually had to move your mouse and press buttons.  No?  Does every person that goes to a convention only know how to press 1 button?  Are they forced at gunpoint to a 1 button maximum?  Please.
