I was just watching some combat videos earlier. Looks nothing like WoW, and plays nothing like WoW. I find it difficult to place the OP. Troll or just an idiot?
both
I'm gonna give DF the benifit of the doubt right now and say that we can't yet tell if melee is going to be WoW like (it may, if its really basic at the start, imagine how it will be with "skills"(which only rarely add more twitch to the game, there is no twitch involved in casting "hamstring" on your opponent), obviously ranged combat will be nothing like what the OP has stated,
but looking at the gameplay video, lol I must say WoW's melee looks ATLEAST 75x deeper, in the gameplay videos, all that happened was 2 guys stood next 2 each other, swung, and one of them died. I mean in WoW atleast you had to do more things than left click...
Lol the gameplay videos' melee reminded me of runescape combat
Both have systems, mechanics, and a depth that comes from two very different angles.
If you really think they're the same, or that you won't be able to tell the difference, you should probably enter a dark room and think deep and hard. Nix that, thinking may not be your strong suite- perhaps just contine to drool on the keyboard.
I'm sure you've seen two level 1 characters duel in WoW. Pretty exciting and deep, right?
Fanboys and skeptics share a few important traits, they are both arrogant/ignorant, quickly jump to sarcasm and insults and have a tendency to skip over the most reasonable posts. This isn't limited to Darkfall either, it's every game.
Both sides are blind, because no one is willing to be wrong. Just my opinion/observations at any rate.
As far as the combat in DF goes, I suspect (always have) that it would be like Elder Scrolls or Mount and Blade. In both games timely blocks and moving around in an evasive manner have added a sense of depth to the combat, throw in a few skills to use strategically and that's good enough for me; if I wanted FPS combat I'd play an FPS (assuming I break down and buy the game, that is).
As far as rampant PK'ing, sure it will be around, but as the game settles in politics will take the forefront as alliances and battle lines from past MMOs are drawn out (plenty of these floating around the Darkfall fanbase). Then there's also the alignment which will deter some due to them not wanting to deal with the additional hardships. In other words, Pk'ing may or may not be as bad as anyone predicts, there's no telling without actually seeing how things end up first hand.
At any rate, they say I'll be able to try it free before I have to decide whether or not to buy it, and my own experience is far better to base opinions off of as opposed to someone elses, or leaks that may or may not be accurate (let alone true).

Agree.
You have to wonder how OP can base Darkfall melee on some newbie characters previews? Seems OP dont understand and know about the frequent server wipes that takes place during beta. Noone have played Darkfall melee endgame yet.
Melee will of course evolve during training and higher experience. Certain moves will be unlocked. Just look at the knockback skill that get available to you when you hit 25.0 in skill. All these moves isnt previewed yet. So noone know anything about Darkfall end melee and that make this thread useless from starters. How make a judgement from something you have no clue about?
Darkfall melee endgame havent been previewed and OP:s assumptions on it fall flat flat to the ground. He can come back when he know what he is talking about.

WOWs pvp is NOT deep
1,1,1,1,2,2,1,4,1,1,1 is deep to u?
Go play a melee character in WoW, set up your hot keys however you like, and show me ANY case where 1,1,1,1,2,2,1,4,1,1,1 will be remotely successful in PvP.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike Loved: Star Wars Galaxies Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.
One nice thing darkfall is supose to have unlike other mmo's is the way you raise skills. Your going to be---if the game ever releases--- able to raise them practicing with your friends. No more killing the same mobs tons of times, then moving on to another group of mobs to kill them a million times and pick up 20 "boar tusks" to complete the quest. Seriously thats one majorly gay thing mmos have now. Lame ass grinding/quests. If i'm level 20 and my friend joins the game and we wanna play, we can't.
(I only read the original posters post, so if this is already in sorry bout that)

When I'm energetic I'm:
the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
When I'm at default I'm:
WHITE/BLUE
Lol according to this I'm bipolar :O
DF plays like any 3rd person melee action game.
WoW plays like any 3rd person fantasy MMO.
Both have systems, mechanics, and a depth that comes from two very different angles.
