If this is supposed to be the last update for a considerable period of time for a game that is set for beta and release this year its pathetic, amateurish and totally inadequate.
Just a Q and A but no demonstration of any of the features or game play just the same old talking but not showing anything new.
And to add insult to injury they even have the audacity to re-use screen shots from Dev Journal 16 and 20 in this update, they must be really desperate.
This is the last scheduled update we are getting and they cant even show new screen shots but are repeating ones from previous updates , Does this look like a game that is starting beta soon? Or that this game is coming out this year?. (these are rhetorical questions)
If this game is ready for beta “very soon” and is going to launch this year, this is one of the worst attempts at PR I have ever seen from any MMO company. (excluding the ones that fail miserably)

Not to dampen your spirits, but those screenshots were placed in the journal by Warcry, not Darkfall. If you had happened to read the 8 comments, someone in thier states that. Other than that, this journal was fine. I for one saw nothing wrong with it. But i do understand people wanting to see more from Darkfall.

Indeed. The fanboys or haters one day will one day have to admit they are wrong. I for one belive that day is closing.

I'm not jumping into the inevitable argument of vaporware, or not vaporware at this point.
With that said, I hope this game does indeed come out one day. They have some fascinating ideas. If not maybe some of these guys will get scooped up by another company and be able to implement similar ideas in some new game.
Blah, same crap. Man does the DF team need to get on the ball. Oh no! they are not going to give any updates for a while.... who cares? its the same crap in each update. I have been waiting for DF so long it seems forever and its the same news, same info over and over again. If the DF team does show a video, they will behave like they did us a favor. The DF team owes alot to the people that have been following the game for years.

so what? The point is they didn't give any new screenshots.. they allowed them to place up the same old crap and didn't care about it... that's the point.
I think mmorpg.com should remove DF from the listings here until it can actually show it's really still in development..
I mean , when they can't even show new screenshots anymore and make it seem like they have a hard time doing a bi-weekly dev journal then somethings seriously wrong somewhere
guys... just leave them to develop the game... when the they're rdy they'll release it... if u put pressure on them, they many release something as crapy as Vanguard
sure thing. They can take down the official forums then and the site too and get removed from mmorpg.com.. Then they can be in peace to work on whatever the hell they are working on there. Then they can reopen it when they launch the game.. sounds fair right?
They want their cake and eat it too. They want people following and hyping their project but don't want to give the community any kind of support.. these people are real pieces of work.

This is the second time he used the heavy work load excuse.
oh ya.. I'am sure everyone appreciates your blatent bullshit. This guy makes it out to look like doing a dev journal once every 2 weeks is loads of work. Is this for real???? But at lease now there won't be anymore dev journals repeating the same stuff over and over..
Heres an idea - If you can't handle doing a dev journal once every 2 weeks then how about hiring someone who can? It's not like anyone needs a degree to release news on a video game.

How long will it take before this account is banned. I give it a week
LOL, yeah, I noticed the pattern too, same user, keeps creating new alt accounts almost monthly. Should almost be a rule, no posting on the DF forums until you have at least 100 posts and been around a month.
I don't have much hope the DF will ever come out. That said, their ideas are good and I sure would like to play a game like DF. Like someone else said, perhaps some other firm will grab a few of the good ones and add them to their game.

Many good new questions there. Many have begun to whine about the idea of skill decay again. I prsonally lke the idea that you have to be dedicated to be a "master" in a specific area of expertise. its not for everyone.
No prestige classes at release is disappointing. The problem is they are promised and now they won't be there and will come later ? maybe ? who knows ?
On the other hand farming sounds intresting and i hope its important for a city/clan's progress, would be really funny to be farmer.
and no blueprints for crafting, undecided about but think its not good.

The more info (what little there is) that is released about DF the more it sounds like an updated version of UO.
The original UO had the exact same mechanic as described above.
Not that I'm saying another UO would be a bad thing...

I honestly think its just more of the same thing they have been releasing for years, all talk but no substance.
If they released screenshots and videos to demonstrate specifically the implemented reality of what they are talking about then I would be interested in debating and discussing , instead of the generic or repeated screen shots showing very little.
But unfortunately after many years of only talk and broken promises the developers have zero credibility in my opinion, the only way they can improve there reputation is to start showing the game instead of only talking about it.
Years ago I was active on the official forums debating and discussing the latest “information” released but its just pointless now in my opinion until beta starts or a major and honest discloser is made about the true state of this games development. (limited screenshots and talking does not qualify)
limited you crazy ther is over 400 plus screen shots all diffrent
Limited in the sense that nearly all they show are variations on the theme of generic avatars with bland backgrounds.
They do not show any of the normal things you see in the screen shots released by credible MMO’s in development showing there major features that are going into beta “very soon” and releasing this year.
And a good proportion of the 400 screen shots are totally outdated from years ago, not including the fact that 400 is hardly impressive for a game that been in development for 7 years its more like pathetic.
Click on the “Games in development” section of the forums and look at all the MMO’s releasing this year or going into beta “very soon” like Darkfall supposedly is.
You cannot find any other MMO that has released as little as Darkfall matching its officially pronounced state of development, unless you start looking at MMO’s that have no chance of releasing this year and are no where near going into beta.

Greetings from the future.
All of your waiting is not in vain. DF does come out... in 2016.
Nah.. I'm just kidding. It's still not out. But we did just get Dev journal #25.
Don't believe I'm from the future? Want proof? The Patriots win the Super Bowl.
There.
