    Thank you ..

    But please refrain from questions worded with "Vapourware"  and/or compares to the better "beta and release strategies"  of other companies..

    We want the differences highlighted as a grittier way of Aventurine and not as burden...

    I agree about the Vaporware comment.

     

    Although I think it would be fair to ask about OPEN Beta though if it hasn't been launched by the time the interview happens. 

     

    At this point, I don't have any questions for Tasos. I'll be interested to read player reviews of the game when the NDA is dropped.

    I could really care less what Tasos or any of the developers  have to say about the game.

    Why bother? Soon enough we'll get unfiltered reviews from real players, and that will tell the tale.

    Allow me to translate:

     

    Please be gentle with the Great God Tasos. Please do not anger him with silly questions of meaning. Rather, allow him questions of worthless merit which can be molded and used in 50 million ways.

    Heh, looks like the legitimate and highly due mmorpg.com questions rattled the poor fanbois more than they did Tasos.

    Anyway, yay. Another interview of carefully selected questions and even more carefully selected responses. Can't wait to to see more benign drivel fed to the fanbois from Tasos.

    Seems the Troll comment by Tasos rattled a lot of cages as well lol.

    Anyways, I think DarthRaiden wants actual questions not more of what we already know.

    Those running around spewing Vaporware have nothing to back it up, those compairing the beta to other companies beta and release strategies has already been answerd several times.

    Anyone with hald a brain knows the game exists at this point and should have since ADW atleast. So asking about it being Vaporware is a bit...... well pointless lol.

    They are different from every other company in the industry in almost every way this has been established even when discussing there Beta and release strategies so a bit..... well pointless lol.

     Sorry Zorvan lol someone has to keep it real.

    Since vaporware by definition includes any game not released, darkfall falls into that category whether you like it or not.

    Tasos got rattled by these questions, theres no doubt about it, and I dont think hes as confident as he would have you believe.

    If I had a product that I knew was superior to its competitors, you wouldnt rattle my cage at all. This again just shows that somethings just not right.

    Again if its all that Tasos says it will be, why worry about trolls? Im suprised he even mentioned them, frankly that speaks volumes.

    "Keeping it real" belongs to the trolls btw, the fans are going on pure faith.

    Since when does vaporware mean "any game not released"? That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why invent the term at all if it applies to EVERYTHING?

    The questions are submitted by our premium community members, so they're not actually our questions but the community's. That said, we will still screen the questions and edit them for grammar and syntax. And we'll be choosing the ones we deem the best and most appropriate.

    I can assure you that "vaporware" isn't a term we throw around when we're asking devs to tell us more about a game.

    I attempted to post this on the DFO forums, but they won't allow it due to the requirements to even suggest a question, which is money.

    This now clarifies why DFO denied TTH's interview in the first place. They might deny the questions as well.

    And if they do I support it. Paying to post in forums? Are you serious?

    You really have been testy lately Zorvan.  Your snippy comment after the stradden interview shows something up.

    I was just suggesting that some of us dont check tentonhammer and as this was my first time hearing about this interview attempt that maybe others on this board also havent heard about it.

    Of course im going to go check out their boards to learn more....but for others who may not know its even going on it may be a good idea to spread the world.
