I keep it simple.
From what I haer, if im correct is has all out pvp, all out looting, all out do what ever u want.
Fromt he trailers it looks like best MMO ever....
Even if the graphics looked worse than an Amstrad I would not care, as long as gameplay is there. Think some people need to swuitch on. All i hear is people moan about graphics, serisouly.. I rather have something looking like dog poo and play and be mega fun!
Than have a game feel ike a tech demo for graphics ala AoC.
If Darkfall really does do and ahve all it says, I am gonna signu p and be a life time member... AoC has pissed me off enough with flare graphics but nothign there... like a emopty box.
How do I sign up for Darkfall beta!

if you have not registered on the forums though, you will need to do so as it asks for your forum info.

and yes if you are someone who is into pvp and seeks real pvp rewards and consequences, and not just another disguised grind for better gear, and you like sandboxes, this is the game for you right now. It truly stands alone with what is on the market right now and a lot of people are excited about it. even the naysayers have it on their radar and you better believe they will be looking at it if it releases well and the reviews are good.

Youh ave to register a forum account first though. So go to http://forums.darkfallonline.com first if you haven't already.
And no, it's not everything we ever wanted. Some people actually like carebear PvE based grindfests like WoW
But you and me don't so it certainly is everything we ever wanted.
------------------------------------------
Darkfall wins. Vaportrolls lose.
MMOs will never be all that we want them to be but if you're a fan of sandbox games and titles like UO or SWG then this game is probably for you.

Not bad will give it a shot.
all this talk about graphics is silly, for what was shown on the video... in an mmo environment, the graphics are amazing!
anyway, ive been following it for years.. and everything they said was shown with flying colors recently.. its going to be amazing
Remember Old School Ultima Online
I am excited for Darkfall. I was a little dissapointed with the polygons in the water and the interaction between the characters footfalls and the ground but that was basically about it. The overall video was amazing. The graphics can be tweaked prior to release. Even if it isn't it will still look a million times btter than WoW. And as long as the game play is at least what they have stated it will hands down be the game for many hard core players that are looking for a truly PvP game to bring back an amazing gaming experience.
Best,
Phae
There will of course never be on game to rule them all...but there will certainly be ones that stand out over others.
People will enjoy WoW and WAR etc because they like the simple, hand-held, linear gameplay. And if you think im insulting the games by describing them that way, you are way off. It is entertainment people. You have to understand that everyone has different needs and desires from a MMO. DF will be a game for those of us who are just blown away by its features list, while you see others in this forum bashing it because they cant understand why we would want to have a full loot pvp game.
I can't wait.

If its like UO i be in heaven!
So what scares me is release date, its gotta be soon! Not sure i can hold on long for this one.
DAMIT!
I have a lot of confidence that once we start getting reports from beta we will all fully believe that Darkfall is going to deliver what we want in an MMO.

I would say public beta in October, release December/Late November.

Aye thats my guess too.
Have a nice one
Release is pretty definetely gonna be inside this year, rumoured October.
Just to be very clear. There is 0% chance you will see this game release in October. None.
The rumors are for a public beta in october, and the GOAL of a release before xmas.

I do not like when people discredit arguments before they are had. By saying "if you disagree with me, you are wrong" You have lost all further substance, and I will no longer read any of your posts.
But, back to subject, I hope it is. I wanted to get into SW, but it was bug to start. I'm going to enjoy Darkfall if it is a true full loot/skill based game. I don't think its the 'full loot' that makes it good though. I think it's more that OPEN world with the ability to SHAPE it how you see fit. A non-linear story that isn't over arc'ing in the game, WoW actually does this, but that game isn't a sand box, its rehashed quests, second job raids.. and the like. I'm talking about areas in the game with history. Perhaps struggles that happened there. Like a story.

I dont like when people twist my words...especially when I cant even figure out what they could possibly be twisting!!!
If you really interpreted "And if you think im insulting the games by describing them that way, you are way off" as me saying "if you disagree with me, you are wrong" then I really dont even know how to respond to that. I was giving compliments to the games on how they are successful by having certain elements that appeal to a wide range of gamers. I wasnt bashing. I played wow for awhile and enjoyed my time until it got stale. I have said over and over in this forum that I have played WAR and was ready to play full time until DF came through with the video and beta. So im boggled by what you are talking about.
If you are talking about when i said "you will see people bash the game because they dont understand why we could like full loot" well yea, um, you will see that. Not everyone who bashes the game does it for that reason, but you will see that.
I dont know, reread my post maybe? Because you clearly read something wrong to come at me with such a snippy attitude.

The idea is sound, I'm highly dubious about the actual implementation being any good though. I also don't personally like the fact they went with real time combat. AC went that path to a degree and it was just way too easy to exploit in my opinion.
iTS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT IT IS true.
By far the hardest part is over... the waiting, and the dreaded feeling of vaporware. Darkfall is HERE.
And the best part is that the devs do care about the fanbase, so anything that isn't perfect now will eventually be worked over. Graphics can be polished over time, Shadowbane was ugly as hell when it first came out but after a few patches it was better. The ONLY thing that can kill Darkfall is lack of population, so hopefully Aventurine will have hired some brilliant marketing geniuses and advisors to attract as many people as possible. Once that first stage is complete, it's all about holding the player base through new content and hosted events, etc.
This is such a good point, it needs to be quoted.
Aventurine (Darkfall) isnt your mega company like Failcom, they dont just care about the bottom line. These guys are gamers making games for gamers. Only the naive mistake a bad marketing strategy up to this point as not caring about the community.
In this day and age of MMOs taking advantage of the customers with lies and terrible management, it is nice to see a smaller indy company that we can identify with more because they do give it to you straight and will manage their game accordingly.
You see community mods like brannoc just giving it to you straight and even tossing some insults around where they are warranted. This isnt your politically correct, seperation of customer and management, type game.

My only hesitation about the game is that there's so many vastly different aspects to it, that I see it either having one of two outcomes.
A. Everything is inches deep.
B. The population on a server is so spread out between them that nothing truly feels epic.
If they somehow manage to overcome the "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" logic then I'll be playing the game.
---------------------------------------------
I live to fight, and fight to live.
I can't wait for this game to come out, it's going to be sooooo good to play. So much fun
Agreed.
Do not go into the light
Agreed.

Darkfall will rule them all.
There will always be flaws in an MMO. It ultimately decided upon "completion" of one, IE: Age of Conan i hear was fun and great...... initially then once you got to the higher levels which only took about 2-3 days, then there was nothing for anyone to keep playing.
I'd say darkfall is near close to everything we wanted.
