They spent all their $ making sure the game is quality first
But yet the evidence doesn't support the claim.
Tasos stated there's no need to spend any money on marketing because they dumped it all into the game to make sure it's just amazing quaity... so it will just sell itself..
Yet for some strange reason we're left with animations like these that look like they were built by someone just learning how to animate.

Kind of strange considering they supposedly dumped so much cash into making sure everything was quality but seem to have overlooked something as glaring and in your face as having proper motion capture animation or quality hand animations on PC models that everyone will be looking at constantly.
This is just one example of how this Tasos person constantly contradicts himself everytime he open his yap... unless of course that IS quality to him.. ??? At which point you would have to seriously question his producing and quality assurance abilities.

It's funny how you say the GAME as a whole lacks quality because of hand models and animations lol. I will take this as you running out of ammo.
Yes we are all in agreement the animations are sub par, the hand models as the char models are far from great but far from horrible. The enviroment is where the graphics seem great.

and since we agree on this /thread
Oh no I can keep going.
Not only are the animations sub par.. but 90% of the graphics are sub par also.
And based on the few videos released , the gameplay looks like nothing more than a very basic combat simulator at best...
So I am trying to figure out where exactly was all this cash dumped into???

do you honestly believe that these enviornments seem "great". This is exactly what happened with Dark and Light. One real players screenshots started leaking out everything started looking terrible.
Blizzard, if I remember correctly, spent somewhere between 60-70 million to make WoW.
How much of that was spent on PR? I don't know, but I don't think it was half the budget, or a 1/3 of the budget, or 1/4 of the budget.
I think a small percentage of a development budget is PR, and that's usually handled by the Publisher, so I'm not sure it really means anything to say we spent our PR budget on the game instead.
Or another way to look at it, if Vanguard, or AoC, or WAR spent their PR budget on the game instead, would it be that much better? I don't really think so.

Those environments are not great either segg
They are as basic as you can possibly get. The second screenshot looks terrible.
all screenshots look terrible:P lol
It was better than the default setting screenie.
Anyhow, gameplay is more important for me than having the best graphics of all games.

I stand corrected, your right the above look just like Realmcrafter screenies. (Sarcasm).
not to be a hataer or anything, but the screen shot do look really bad
Can't be mad if you don't like them. Personal taste is personal taste.

umm no
Much better animation than the 100 million crap called WAR..........at least Adventurine spent 1 tenth of that.
Also that video is 3 months old, animation is easily fixed, like Funcom proved.
Animation was really poor in AoC couple of months before lunch, but they fixed it just in time (probably the only thing they actually fixed ready for lunch........)
And for me that is acceptable for a game made by an indie, MMORPGs are not normal games, they require much more resources and investments, they will never look as sleeck and shiny as an offline game, in particular if made by an Indie.
The quality of Darkfall should be in the gameplay, I personally don't give a shit about animation, and the graphic looks good enough to me.
I will judge the game on the gameplay only, so i suppopse I ll have to wait another month.
IF your going to make dumb claims atleast quote people correctly.
Tasos NEVER said they dumped all their money ANYWHERE. HE said "Why would we need a huge advertising or marketing push?" Hes right. Everyones buzzing about Darkfall. Save the money untill the Buzz dies down.
i play wow for many years.. So graphic arent the most important thing; ulimately, it's about gameplay. We'll see how darkfall goes.
Oh I see what you're saying now. Sooo.... quality means... graphics? So graphics > gameplay? Its so clear now!
Darkfall Travelogues!
While I can appreciate your desire to play forum police... I would guess that you'll be making this same post in all the threads about the Jan. Release then? Or every thread about Tasos's interview with mmorpg.com, or every thread saying how excited they are about the Jan. Release date, or... well you probably get the idea.
Seems a bit disingenuous of you if you only feign concern on threads that aren't praising DarkFall and Aventurine... doesn't it? Just curious.
Oh I see what you're saying now. Sooo.... quality means... graphics? So graphics > gameplay? Its so clear now!
I could be wrong... but I think he meant quality means the entire game... including graphics.
I do think that the graphics in DarkFall are good enough for what they are trying to accomplish. To say they are A+ top-quality? I guess, it's in the eye of the beholder then... I just don't see it.
Graphics are not as important as gameplay... at least to me.
However, he does have a valid criticism of a statement that Tasos made. Tasos has made many such statements saying that they are only willing to release a top-notch quality game. He has said time and time again that they didn't want to spend money on advertising and marketing because they wanted that to go into the game instead.
All good things to say.
But that is where the valid criticism comes in. He didn't say... Great quality game, except for the animations... you'll just have to accept those being average to sub-par. Nope, don't recall him saying that. When he says the game is top-quality... It applies to the whole game. That would include the animations that I think almost everyone would agree are NOT top-quality.
That is what I think he was trying to say.
Aint it funny. I gave you a quote from developer journal 22 in another thread and in a second you open a thread on whats said there.
You is a troll with no or very little information on the game Darkfall.
You even need the fans to give you the ammo for next troll thread.

Hehe I was just thinking the same myself
Must be an amatuer troll trying to get in some sorely needed practice where he can. Either that he came home to find Tasos in bed with his mother. Why else would one spend a whole day at home spewing hate-threads about an un-released online game?
