FFA PvP and Player Looting :) Hurry up with this game!

in Darkfall

If this game has FFA PvP, Player Looting, and Housing... it will be better than all the other industry giants out there (WoW, LOTRO, Vanguard, etc).  I'm so sick of all these safe little games where you log on and there's no risk at all in losing in combat.

Darkfall is looking better and better.  But when will it be released?

    The question of the ages....  no one knows the time or the season....  maybe never.



    But DF looks to be your last great hope for now.

    It sounds great, but so did Vanguard, Shadowbane, Dark and Light....Great idea's but the companies could not follow through. Lets hope Darkfall can but it's so scary now since it's so old and still not even a beta announcment or release date.

    That is exactly the reason why we shouldnt rush them with the game.  As a lot of people have said already " I'd rather have a glitchess game thats behind schedule, rather than a buggy game released on time with patches every 3 seconds.

    Get comfortable.  Already 5 years in development and still no end in sight.  I think the correct question is - will this game get released, not when.

    5 years?  It's got to be 7 by now, at the very least.

    Around 4 ½ actually (depends how you count). Before 2003 they where a few norwegians with a nice concept. 2003 they merged with Aventurine and moved to Greece and established their studio with around 25 people. They then also trashed their old engine and made a new one.



    So it may take a while. But it's the only mmorpg I look forward to and even if it's never getting released it's just a game so who cares.

    I just wondered about Dark and Light? What was the special feature that made the hype? I cant find anyone special.

    And long developtime for DF..yes. But i found these old screenshots from the old DF engine. They have change it during development

    Cant wait for this game either!
  • AmstelAmstel Member Posts: 61
    Count me in the group that can not wait for this game.



    Any game with item looting in PVP is going to be the best game out. Who the hell likes to PVE? There is  name for people like that, but I would probably get banned from this forum if I typed it.
  • ManmadegodManmadegod Member Posts: 501
    Basically what worries me about this game... I love the ideas... I love ffa pvp and player looting like old school Ultima Online.....



    But...



    What worries me is that this game has been in development longer than humans have harnessed tools or fire. There comes a point where you just have to stand back and say - Really, I know its a small independent team but an eon is a long time.... The graphics are already getting dated, the ideas that once were original or going to be focused on are becoming blurred, we get no information from them.... and beta has been SOON since I still played UO.

    First of all, why would you care if people prefer PvE to PvP?  Just enjoy what you like and let others enjoy what they like.

    I would say I prefer PvE, however, I can go with PvP if it is done right.  To just have open PvP where anyone can kill anyone else can get pretty chaotic.  It should be done with some controls on it.  Otherwise you are doing nothing but fighting other players constantly and have no time to go out and adventure and gain nice equipment.  Also, new players become instant targets to more experienced players in an open PvP world.  A game that successfully institutes both options is the best of all imo.  The more balance a game has the better it's going to be.

    The DF world itself will control the PK. You dont heal up in 10 seconds as in other MMO. No level makes a noob as dangerous as a veteran. All players can use any weapon or armor from the first day of playing.

    You risk everything everytime you fight, another reason why you shouldent throw yourself into a fight every minute.....

     

     

    So no "control" is needed..you are free

    I really hope they redo chariter models, ill play with the crappy ones they have now but they really need to throw some more polys or normal map that crap. I played sb for 2 years so im not comitted to high quality but this game made us wait too long =P

    I'm definitely going to at least try this game when and if it comes out, it looks incredibly promising and being obsessed with Elder Scrolls Oblivion the first person combat idea where you can fire spells and arrows without the stats rolls makes me want to play even more. This will allow for some serious tactics, I mean, people could actually play proper bandits who organize ambushes for once, not just stand there and tap hotkey buttons.



    Then there's the cannons *drool* I just hope it's not vaporware like some people are trying to say.

    Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

  • strongaxestrongaxe Member Posts: 848
    Everyone is gunna try it when it comes out!! The listed features are gunna make everyone try it out haha.
  • Carl132pCarl132p Member UncommonPosts: 538
    I have a strong feeling that this game is going to become vaper ware. I found out about this game and another similar game at the same time. The other game Trials of Ascension  was a   game where the players crafted their own cities, crafted teh siege weapons to destroy them, and had an amazing classless skill based system (so it seemed)  That game has since become vaperware and wandering if this wont do the same.

    Notice qaz i said "Almost anywere", Anyway thats just one feature that i would enjoy to have. Just imagine you can build your own houses along side of a heavily traveled path to sell things. Or that house can be used as a H.Q. for your friends and clan. And if some idiot decides to build one in the middle of the road Burn IT To Hell!!  Just this one of  darkfalls many tantalizing features offers a a buff for a good game.

    Just checking back to what i think is the only real risk PvP game in the making.

    Boy, the PVE's sure did a good job convincing the DEV's I'm the only person in existence who won't quit when he's killed and loses his sword.  (then again, I probably didn't buy it on E-bay, or spend hours working on some exploit to get it)

    anyway- go guys, I haven't had fun in an MMORPG since Ultima, the First Everquest, and early days of DAoC.
