dude look how polished it is? yes the constant updates we have been getting the last 2 weeks including races being updated yea if nayone calls it vapor naymore there ust doing it because of spite
Umm, thats not an example of how polished it is. Those are screen shots of pretty renders. Polished would be if the game plays well without many bugs/errors, missing quests/items or broken content, not shiny graphics.
My only question is why in almost every screen shot they show, everyone looks like they are wearing mittens?
Well I'm not going to comment on the Screenies as it's pointless to do so with all the hate-trolls here other than to say that they do look very good and are a drastic improvement over past screenies we've seen. I can however answer the "mittens" question. About 90% of all dark ages or Medievil gauntlets used what was referred to as the Clam Shell design. This had a single segmented sheet of plating that covered all of the fingers and flexed as a unified unit. They did have gauntlets that incorporated individual finger designs but those where staggeringly more time consuming and expensive to produce and didn't offer as much protection as the clam shell design did.
They look great! Like the armors. Alot has happened last weeks, will see what this friday news provide us with.

lol they changed the screenshots from yesturday they didnt like them the other fan site has them all tho
Those screenshots werent at the main DF site, I linked them but they were from German fan site; the screens that you see on the main DF site on the human page are new and have been added so I guess they are the official screens.
Nice screenshots! Maybe there's something to this game afterall. I'm taking the wait and see approach and will keep my fingers crossed. The MMO community really needs a good shot in the arm right now.

a shot in the arm??? how so...because we are the only smart ones to point out that this little piece of Vaporware wont see the bright lights of the inside of a video game store? they can send all the screens and updates they want...but until the game is officially released (beta doesnt count simply for the fact that even if you got to be in one, and they still never released the game???....just think of all the mad players) its still going to remain in that category. screens are screens, they dont look any different to me, but out of all of you who want this game so bad...me and the other realists arent dumb enough to scurry up the wall when they dangle that piece of cheese...cuz we know they wont drop it into the cage we call MMORPGs. Nuff Said.
they have already said it will be released one way or another
see the problem is oyu think the devs have been lieing
thats the problem they havent (and that right there makes your (lil rant im a person that knows it all)
out the window
cause you know what ill bet you it will release when i dont know but with them taking time to do more updates and update tehre homepage know and having 10 more clans added to the beta list? today for a better chance of getting in i would say beta is pretty fdamn close remeber in jan they said we expect within a few month we will deside on apublisher or self publish guess what its been with a few months and they still have rest of march
and btw can you people learn to stay on topic for once geeses
do you have your glasses off? the screenshots have been improved alot probly because they got the settings maxed now

Ya you know there was another realist that thought like you do, you know what his name was?
HITLER!
But seriously, if you think about it, its more "Realistic" to say they are going to release a below-par product then nothing at all.

I don't know what your major malfunction is, and to be honest, I really don't care. I am not a fan of nor a hater of Darkfall. I simply said that the screenshots look good (my opinion) and that the MMO industry in general needs a boost. Right now, it sucks (again, my opinion). Whether it's Darkfall or AoC or something entirely differnt that gives MMOs a shot in the arm, it doesn't matter to me. What does matter is that we start seeing some good games, and soon.
Oh, and before you go around bragging about how smart you are, you might want to consider how ignorant it is to post garbage on a forum about a game that you say you believe will never come out anyway. Surely someone as smart as you has better things to do with your time. Nuff said.

That was a horrible analogy. I almost wanted to put it in my signature, but I'm too lazy. That's all.
they have already said it will be released one way or another see the problem is oyu think the devs have been lieing thats the problem they havent Prove it. Making renders and calling them screenshots is an old trick. Not saying they did this, only saying it is very much possible. And a couple of very limited videos ( most from years ago ) doesn't exactly shout "This game is real!!!", it says they possibly know how to make computer animated movies. So, prove they haven't been lying, or stop trying to talk as if your opinion is fact. You don't know if they've been lying or not. Noone does. Let me know when they let a real gaming site or credible game reviewer play the game and report the fact to confirm it exists. Or bring out the beta for real. Don't tell me when they let some no-name schmuck in some obscure guild supposedly play. It's not credible. Don't tell me what the devs say is real or not, as they have shown enough incompetence and mismanagement repeatedly when it comes to doing what they say, to make their words have no merit.
Is it possible the game is real and will release? Yes. Have what little the devs have shown over the many years already given any reason to believe it will? Nope.

Difference btw you and me is that i actually believe in people til proven wrong. I could say the same to you, prove that the game is a hoax? You cant?? OMG, then why is you here? What is your purpose with this totally negative reply as above one? To tell the fanbois something they already is well aware of, the Aventurine game priorities and promotings? So instead of discuss about what we know you choose to make up some negative vibrations among the fans and reason for doing this is above me? Its just plain childish.
What people on this Darkfall board is doing is communicating about the game, changes, features, screenies, videos and so forth. What we know and what we seen. We also discuss things werent 100% sure of but still like to share among each other. And there you come, all negative. With low faith and even distrusting the devs which is probably working their asses of to deliver a hell of a game the best way they can. We in the fanbois is looking forward to this game since were convinced if they deliver it will be the best game ever crated. And we love to discuss it.
If you dont like to discuss what we discuss, take a hike then. Noone is forcing you to enter the Darkfall forum.

The statements of OP maybe true or maybe wrong. It doesnt affect me either.
The way DarkFall has attracted me were different then with other game. I don't saw a flashy boom whoom add or saw some video.
It worked other way. I had read post/article about some game featuring open PvP and other nice features. I digged more and with every bit more info about the features i got dragged more and more into the magic of DarkFall .
Videos, Screenshoots , Flash anims or not any of them, i desire to see these features DarkFall describe in DarkFall or in any MMO,with aventurine publish or with Blizzard (only $OE get no money from me anymore-since November 2005) .
It is not DarkFall, its their features described and promised i wanna be part of in an MMO world.
It doesnt helped me to watch thousand videos,flash adds or pictures of Warcraft of AoC or game X. If they provide not the features promised by DF i will not love any of the games and will wait for DF or any other game out there wich includes DF's feature list.
May i watch some nice made AoC video and be impressed but i will not love the game cause well where is Naval warfare ?
May i see some flashy anim of game X , will there be these siege and conquer mechanics in the game ?
May you right requesting videos and previews, would i like to see them ? hell yea ! but IMO it doesn't count either for me, i will wait for any game releasing these features to give it my love, DarkFall happen to be promising them yet.

Yea but what vapor games put out this much info? yes beta will be this year its pretty obvious
Well... for instance I have a huge skill system, nation system, technological system, pvp system, etc for my game... I even have a few models, but 0 lines of code yet.
Your right though Darkfall would be the longest running vaporware ever.
As I said earlier, Im not against Darkfall, I really really want the game to release. However, after being misslead over the past 6 - 8 years, I wont be getting my hopes up until I actually see a beta.
It's not the underlying code thats the issue it's the integration with the visuals. As far as I am concerned a moving box is fine as long as the game mechanics work.

Damn, this have to be the best way to explain the menatality of a normal DF follower. No über adds or commercial have got us here. Just the written words and a few small videos.
