    Why all this negativism? =)

     

    Maybe because we don't like to see people get their hopes up again and again for nothing.

    Seriously, the DF apologists on this forum are doing such a fantastic job of trying to make something out of nothing that Aventurine don't even need Tasos any more. The number of threads desperately trying to demonstrate that this is anything but vaporware from clunky screenshots, cinematic snippets, stolen logos and dev resumés astounds me. It's a bit like watching a small crowd of people staring at a brick wall thinking it's one of those Magic Eye puzzles.

    Sorry guys, but all the hoping and wishing in the world isn't going to make that magic picture appear.

    Mmm... like nothing I've ever seen before...

     

    ahh excpet darkfalls is better

     

     

    Hardly surprising, since they've had five more years to work on improving it. After that long I'd have thought they could at least have added a little twinkle of Flash animation, or maybe even thought up their own logo instead of ripping off someone else's (not particularly original) one.



     

    Yes, this is a shameless rip-off. The way the wings frame the logo and everything. A large percentage of the effectiveness of a logo is the concept, and they've just stolen it. This just adds to the lack of credibilty about this project.



     

    Its like saying all fantasy books created after Tolkien is rip-offs.

    Good day to you



     

    No, just the ones with Elves and Dwarfs. Ok, perhaps I was wrong. It's not a complete rip-off, it's a stale, over-used cliche. My mistake.

    I appreciate the link. But the logo says nothing about when or if the game will release. It's certainly not a giant step for MMO's. Anyone who thinks it's more than (at best) a pretty picture, get a grip.

    I think realistic people will pretty much ignore it until there's a game they can play. After all what good is a game until you can play it?



     

    More like the nay-sayers refuses stubbornly to admit to themself that Darkfall is getting prepared for open beta.

    Have a nice day



     

    open beta could be going and some will still refuse to admit it

    I was wondering what this had to do with beta, but now i see the web address is .../beta. Placeholder I would guess for a sign up page or some such.

    What you have to add to the equation is that Darkfall been in closed beta with professional beta testers since last year.

    Its a official company statement that the game will be released before the end of 2008. There first official release statement.

    Open beta will exceed that release with a few weeks ( edit -and a few weeks might be more then 4 weeks).

    All this we know and this brand new logo of Darkfall beta make it a very promising sign.

    To me theyre getting prepared for beta.

  • ClaesClaes Member CommonPosts: 265

    This seems promising.. I'm really curious.

  • terminaldogmterminaldogm Member Posts: 41

    LOL @ people who still believe this stuff.

    Let's talk about the darkfall "beta".  Nearly THREE YEARS AGO my l2 clan / wow guild was accepted into the "clan beta" for darkfall...the IMMINENT clan beta.  Now, who can guess what happened next?  That's right, nothing.  None of the clans accepted have heard anything since then...THREE YEARS ago.

    Yes, sure, beta is "just around the corner".  How long have we been hearing that?  Yet the faithful remain, and will remain for years to come as beta remains fleetingly "just around the corner".

    As sad as it is, this is a great study in social psychology, b/c it illustrates the same phenomenon responsible for many of the infinitely greater evils in the world---why do we go out every 4 years and enthusiasticaly elect thieves, liars, and traitors to govern us, even when they sell us out as soon as they get into office?  Why do abused spouses love and refuse to leave their abusers?  Why do some people STILL play AoC?

    You people are clutching onto a LOGO!  How little it takes to reinforce hopes at this point.

    Not happening.  Have fun waiting though.

    That's what I thought, that an announcement of a beta existed sometime ago.

    And that is why...

    Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.

    You seem bitter cause they decided to postpone the beta 2005 since they knew they could make a so much better game then the one they had 2005.

    Im very glad they took that decision.

    Closed beta have been going on since late 2007 and Darkfall is a finished game with all features included. This brand new beta logo is just another piece of evidence that something good is cooking.

    I catch ya ingame mate.

    And have a nice day

    Shouldn't D in Darkfall be captilized in their logo? I mean, it's the title of the game..

    That will be the sole subject of their next progress report 6 months from now.

    "We have updated the darkfall beta logo.  Expect an announcement about beta soon"

    ROFL at the bitterness you express.

    I waited longer for this game then you have and im not bitter. Darkfall developers dont owe us jackshit. Have you payed them for something that give you a reason to be this bitter at them? No you havent, so theres no reason whatsoever being bitter. A game where the developers take their sweet time finishing their game should be applauded by all of us.

    Just look at the opposite called Age of Conan.

    Cya ingame mate.

    Yeah, my clan was accepted into the 2005 clan beta as well.  I cant wait for it to start, should be any minute now... 

    Seriously, Aragon.  They didnt do beta/release in 2003.  The delay from 2003 to 2005 was to "make the game better".  So I guess this delay from 2005 to 2008 was to "make the game betterer".  No doubt they will delay the 2008 beta to "make the game betterest". 

    That should make you cream your jeans, right?  And it will obviously be a very, very good thing.  So lets all hope for another 3 year delay!  Go team!

    if it would have released in 2005 it would have been buried.

    Buried how?  If it was a good game it would have been able to stand on it's own two feet.  Only truly sucktastic games get buried, because of the release of another game.  Besides there were no other major PvP-centric games being released around that time.

    The delay from 2003 was because the game was under a new company and had to be totally remade. Delay from 2005 was for a major update to the game, according to Women's Gamer, who interviewed them in 2006. Never before have they had a release date, or a publisher. They now have both. And they should very well know fi they delay this again, they will lose the little credibility they have left.

    You seem bitter cause they decided to postpone the beta 2005 since they knew they could make a so much better game then the one they had 2005.

    Im very glad they took that decision.

    Closed beta have been going on since late 2007 and Darkfall is a finished game with all features included. This brand new beta logo is just another piece of evidence that something good is cooking.

    I catch ya ingame mate.

    And have a nice day



     

    Yeah, my clan was accepted into the 2005 clan beta as well.  I cant wait for it to start, should be any minute now... 

    Seriously, Aragon.  They didnt do beta/release in 2003.  The delay from 2003 to 2005 was to "make the game better".  So I guess this delay from 2005 to 2008 was to "make the game betterer".  No doubt they will delay the 2008 beta to "make the game betterest". 

    That should make you cream your jeans, right?  And it will obviously be a very, very good thing.  So lets all hope for another 3 year delay!  Go team!

    The delay from 2003 was because the game was under a new company and had to be totally remade. Delay from 2005 was for a major update to the game, according to Women's Gamer, who interviewed them in 2006. Never before have they had a release date, or a publisher. They now have both. And they should very well know fi they delay this again, they will lose the little credibility they have left.

    there not goign to delay again unless some major flaw happens. and we wont know that until public beta starts.
    thre saying release this year not beta. that means public beta better start

    Buried?  Come on, you are just parroting what Tasos said much later, in an attempt to gloss over what they had said in 2005.  It is a lame excuse.  And if what they were saying in 2005 was actually true, no excuse would have been needed.

    Tasos during an interview in 2005:

    Tasos Flambouras: The additional time taken to work on the game was a decision made in an effort to make Darkfall directly competitive with the largest MMOG titles out there. Nobody is going to feel they've stepped down by switching to Darkfall, or play Darkfall as an alternative to their main game.

    So, they took additional time to make a game that is directly competetive with the largest titles out there.  They claim DF is just as good as any MMOG, including the top of the line titles.

    Tasos Flambouras: But the main reason is that we decided that it's time to show Darkfall, rather than keep talking about it - we believe that it will speak for itself better than we ever could.

    Tasos Flambouras: It's getting close to the point where people will get the chance to playtest the game. If they aren't looking at Darkfall now, they'll probably wish they had been. :)

    Does this sound like a game that would be "buried" if it were to release?  If so, that sure isnt what the devs are saying to the press/fans.
