Darkfall is, until a gameplay video and the promised free to play Test version come along, a myth.
Where do you people come from? There have been 6 videos; they're even linked from the sticky on the first page of this forum, 3 of these 6 show full-on combat gameplay; all 6 are made from actual gameplay.
and 1 reasons stuff wasnt shown or the reason they was quick flashes in the other 2 was because of missing spell effects and animations they didnt have done quite yet. and they didnt want to show that to us.
but the next vid we will be getting will be all playtesting no flying around quick flashes of combat. might be flying camara over a seige but i doubt it

I am coming from the point of view of someone who has never seen anyone play this game. Have you? Can you link me to any video where someone is actually playing this game? Any E3 Booth? Any other Convention? Heck, any video of one of their "honorary" visitors actually playing the game?
That is where I am coming from. And being someone who has been burnt by Developers one too many times, I am naturally cautious and am not ready to straight out believe that the game will be everything they promise it to be.
Besides, those videos prove nothing of the oh so grand combat, nor do they really show any of the features which are supposed to be in it. As i said, until I can see it step by step, or can try it for myself, nope, not gonna believe it will be what Tasos claims it will be.
Are you guys daft? I'm not saying there is no game. I never said that and I think it's ridiculous to say so.
HOWEVER, I do not believe the game will be what it is hyped up to be. The features promised won't all be in or they will be severely broken/unfinished. The game will cut corners and so on and so forth.
I repeatedly said I do not believe Darkfall will release AS PROMISED!
Please...read what I am writing. All I want is someone showing me the release-ready game in a way I can believe...or for me to test it. before that, I won't believe it is what it says it is. There...I hope everyone understands this now.

no point in lieing if everyone gets to play for free before paying a dime. guess you will find out.
As long as they dont go back on that then i dont see any problems
its what you say against what tasos says he also says you can beleive them if you want. noone is forcing oyu to so just sit back and watch... its simple
3) high quality of graphics in recent screenshots indicating they are in final polish stages
Polishing? How can you be "polishing" a game that hasn't even gone to a closed beta stage? They are miles away from polishing anything.
The first step is exposing your code to the masses. Then you watch as a thousand or so people do things to your code in a thousand ways you never dreamed about, breaking, exploiting it, crashing it, and everything in between. Then you spend six months dealing with all that. Then you start balancing, tweaking, adding content, etc.
THEN you start polishing.
Cleaned-up screenshots of an engine nobody has seen is not "polishing." What engine and netcode are these guys using? Did they write it all from scratch?

actully they been in closed beta since last year
but more private (there trying something diffrence) we will find out if it worked or not.
Do younot understand what a release ready public beta means

An internal beta for an MMO, done by a dozen or so people, that leads to a release-ready product?

Exactly. My word against his. And NOTHING else. He's just as believeable as I am in that regard because there is no evidence to the contrary.
And yes, I chose to not believe him. Because there's been too many people who have asked the community to believe in them and have delivered rubbish in the end. There's no trust out of the blue anymore. Period.
First: DF is not hyped! It is the opposit of hyped. AoC and WAR is exapmples of hyped MMOs..
And i find it a good thing that people are sceptical towards new MMOs. Exept AoC, noone were sceptical there. But its a way of telling MMO developers that we wont take anymore crap. Force them to release intersting, polished games.
And also, since noone will have to pay a nickle to try Darkfall, we cant get fooled. And thats a better deal then we will get from so many other "noble" MMOs in development.

this thing's been pretty ready for a bit, i'm sure beta would have been out by now if their publishing didn't take so long to figure out
no there just anal on wanting a near release ready public beta.
