You are right, it is a joke, and the joke is on you
The joke is on the people who followed this for 7 years. lol
The fanboys have misguided anger. Instead of taking it out on the right people - the developers.. they choose to unleash it on the general public when they point out what this game actually is.
Crap.
Oh, I have not waited for 7 years, nowhere near so long. What did encourage you to make such an assumption?
***************************** I have nothing clever to say.
Nileq posted with the same kind of quality the people he quoted posted with. I'm sure he could have written a well thought out and informative comment... but for what? It's not like they care.
In my eyes it seems like the people who come to this board trying to flame the game are running out of material. In every thread I'm guranteed to read something about poor graphics, vaporware/vaporfall, and/or "lolnopreorderz".

I assure you I can write proper posts on these forums, I also assure you that I can argue with the best trolls around here; however it would be a massive waste of time and energy.
I simply followed suit and replied to the original poster in the same manner and tone as the original post’s showed. If you would have me prove that what I state here is infact correct I would direct you to the blog entries that I have here on MMORPG.com.
I will even provide you with a Link, just to show you that I am in truth a cordial type of person. Just be warned some of you might find the wall of text imposing.

Is it just me or are these Darkfall fanbois running out of material?
I mean just look at the 3 posts above.
I hope this is no indication of how the future Darkfall community will be like.
I think 9/10 fanbois on this site would not play Darkfall. They would maybe try it, decide they don't really like it, and go on to posting about the next game that's supposed to be the Mecca of MMORPGs.
*yawn* these updates are a sleeping pill. I really care less about the graphics but it so obvious her words are very controlled by the devs. Of course she had to say something about her system's default settings this time.
May I suggest that you take a nap then?
What a great finale in your 5 post streak. Next time just cut and paste quotes in a single post, saves you the trouble of looking like a caffeinated child that feels the need to directly reply to every-single-post.
Anyway, I haven't been posting/trolling this forum as long as some of you; but given the amount of game mechanics promised how does this not look fishy to everyone? They promised the moon and are showing you starter areas and goblins. If it is free then I will try it, but some of you are just blindly defending nothing for all you know.
As others are blindly attacking it, for all they know.
Listen, and I am not talking directly to you Hazmal necessarily, but the basic truth here is that no company owes you anything until they have taken money off you. No contract has been entered, and no obligation exists. All you have to do for DF to stop effecting you is walk away. Take what they offer, or reject it. It's your choice.
Come back post release, if you like, whenever that is, and judge the game for what it is then. That is the only fair time to judge any game anyhow.
There is no crusade to be fought here... No great evil to be brought down. Either a (good) game will be released, or it won't. DF has no competition other then itself.
I am not a DF 'fanboi' myself, or a DF 'hateboi' either, I sit squarely in the middle, but all they want is a game they hope to love to play. Thats all. Whats so bad in that? If they are wrong to believe in a product that has the potentiol to bring diversity and passion back to MMORPG making, then all the more shame on their attackers and all the more more power to them I say.
Without their support, this project may have fallen by the wayside years ago, and that would have been a shame. The hobby needs indie developers to be a success now more then ever.
We should ALL be hoping DF works out, even if don't plan on playing it, 'cause if it dosent thats one more reason for indies to not take the risk ever again, or of course majors to invest in the new 'niche' ideas that the hobby so badly needs. That will hurt everyone who plays these games in the future.
btw, People may percieve they have been 'lied' to, but thats prolly more to do with their own sensitivety then the truth. Most people arnt that sensitive though, they just pretend to be for the sake of a good argument.
“For the next few days I won't be able to do long updates (friends visiting),” Come on, why don’t you just say the dog ate your PC? I hope this is wont be a “Tasos” home brand “next few days“. Perhaps those friends visiting are Tasos and Claus themselves ? My hunch is there’s not much more left to talk about anyway, shadows on and off and the precise moment when characters display their names is really scraping the barrel as it is already. But some more about the Goblins would be immensely appreciated though, please tell us what is the quest reward for gathering 4 r_Goblins Axes’s?, you cant leave us on tender hooks like this.
Do you have any reason for a personal grudge, let alone attacks, on her? Do you know her that good really?
Gianna is nothing but a gamer like us, a veteran MMO player known to many as such, volunteering to share her individual impression of the game as she is seeing fit.
While questioning her professionalism or the content of her review is perfectly ok, openly labeling her as a liar isn't. This doesn't contribute anything but an insight into your own lack of manners and maturity.
There is no need to label her a liar because there is nothing of substance in her "beta review".
Uhm, yes, so be it, - and now what (talking about substance)?
There is no need to attack her in any way. If people have trouble with PR and reliable information on DF, it's Aventurine they have trouble with, not Gianna. She has absolutley zero obligation to do anything but what she likes with the information she has at hand. If this is her style, you can like it or not. As I said, it's perfectly ok to discuss her articles content-wise.
Why is it the community these days feels like everybody, even just the fellow gamers, as soon as they obviously gained some additional knowledge, is owing them?
Sure there is. The crusade against empty promises and stupidity.
And here is why these forums are considered to be the worst on the internet. Fans are trying to discuss a game. And the trolls think they are "fighitng a crusade".
Lol its an internet message board about video games, grow up. Make your point and move on. Posting it in every new DF thread in an attempt to battle "empty promises and stupidity" or to try and convince neutrals to not play is pretty sad.
"The monsters are tough. I was looking for a challenge, but these things are just too damn smart." -DF Beta Tester
"If people were dismissing it, then they wouldn't be talking about it. The well-meaning gamers root for efforts that try to raise the bar. So who's left? It's so easy being a skeptic." -Tasos

Of course there is. I have discussed them already.
The point here, I think, is being deliberetly lost in the cause of a petty argument.
Most people here just obnoxiously attack what you say if they think they have an angle on it, and if they don't and can't answer you they just ignore you and tune out anything that might challange what they pretend to know.
I have only made about 5 posts on the DF forums and, tbh, I have had enough of it here already.
Good luck to you all. Hope to see some of the saner ones in game when it arrives.
I hope everything works out for the rest of you....
Sure there is. The crusade against empty promises and stupidity.
That's right, you fight that crusade. For all the things promised - nay, owed to you, as a loyal, paying customer of Aventurine!
Exactly! Since well respected companies like funcom gave us so much info prelaunch then Aventurine is RESPONSIBLE for giving the fans every piece of info they can. We haven't given them any money yet? oh well they still work for us and owe us what we demand!!!
Poor marketing maybe. But beyond that...they owe you nothing and you make yourself look ridiculous when you call them liars, dishonest, not honorable, poor devs...etc....

Yeah I don't understand the graphics complaint, it looks average or maybe even slightly better than most mmorpgs to me. They are much better than the most popular mmorpgs.
Yep same here. I dont see how people can call them horrible...especially when you compare it to a game like WAR but it is all personal opinion.
Seems way more people think they are fine or above average so im positive that they wont be an issue in terms of pulling in subs. That plus anyone who really woulnt play a game because the graphics arent top notch, especially in this genre, is just not worth discussing.
Yea, these graphics are not bad at all, looked much better than WAR in the Atehns video. Warhammer had good graphics as well if you have a good machine and play on highest, but different style. Some animation is pretty bad in Darkfall, but that can be fixed.
What I want to see are all the features they promised, how much is really in the game at launch? Age of Conan promised a ton and was missing about 50% of the features at launch, how complete is Darkfall wonder? COME ON OPEN BETA!!!
I hate the fact that we should be in open beta by now from what they said in the Athens event("Open beta Will End by Early December"). But, this lady says a few hundred people are in the beta at least, maybe we will get to try soon.
I think the graphics are average and on medium they are set to average so you get average graphics.
I think the graphics are better then WAR, which I think are horrible anyways and worse then WOW or LOTRO. IMO
What she doesn't say is if the shadows show for a player so can I see the shadow of the player from behind a tree or if a player is hiding can I still see thier shadow. That was one thing I hated in DAOC was the personnel light showed up across the screen even if you were hidden.

Many of the fanbois never pay for the game they just play the free beta and complain, then move to the next beta. That way they never have to pay for the crappy game they helped to build.
