5 Reasons to be optomistic about Jan. 22nd

Repost from DF main forums by Necodemus123:

 

1.Tasos has stated repeatedly that they would not announce a release date until they were absolutely sure it would be met. They clearly understand the negative effects of a delay.

2. Tasos has also stated that DFO was more complete than many other mmorpg's 1 month after release (and that was in november)

3. Games that have not met their release date in the past have generally announced the release date 6 months to 1 year prior. Aventurine announced the dfo release date within 2 months. When you announce the release of a game in that short amount of time the game must already be completed (or extremely nearly completed).

4. There are relatively very few beta leaks and those that do exist are almost entirely positive. Also there are now over 1000 beta testers according to all the available information. Does any one really believe if the game was not ready or didnt deliver everything that has been promised that we would not know about if? If that were the case we all know there would be negative leaks everywhere.

5. According to mmorpg.it journalist beta started on Monday January 5th. If the game was going to be delayed why open journalist beta?

Flame away, call me a fanboy, whatever makes you feel better.

    Or how about a , who cares! You people and these over-zealous threads. Is this a way to show the world your bored or blind? Why I say blind you might ask, i don't know, maybe look through the 5k+ other threads trying to be like you. Hey guess what, Aion in April!!!!

    I am open minded and I'm not doubting what they say as there is no evidence to contradict them but I would want to see a lot more leaks before I could confidently say it's going to release fine.  The same also applies for negative comments, there's no real evidence it's just peoples speculations.

    Nope, and if it was the only computer game on the market I still wouldn't play it.

    EDIT: Actually I'm lying I have played it except it used to be called World of Warcraft then.

    Hehe yeah I dont understand why you would be on the DF forums if you were excited about Aion.  The games are not ever close to similar.

    "To this I can say now, that during a planning meeting we determined that our launch date will be inside 2008, with the public beta preceding it by a few weeks. This is official and internally we're a lot more specific,"
    "The announcement of launch within the year is an official company commitment and it’s not a guestimate."
    "The announcement during ADW was that the open beta phase is scheduled to end early in December. More importantly this means that the game will be ready to release at that point."
    2. Tasos has also stated that DFO was more complete than many other mmorpg's 1 month after release (and that was in november)
    The beta testers say most of the features are not implemented yet, Tasos is talking BS.

When you announce the release of a game in that short amount of time the game must already be completed (or extremely nearly completed).
    Darkfalls first release timeframe of many was set for 2003.

If that were the case we all know there would be negative leaks everywhere.
    Darkfalls beta testers are staff and only a few hundred hand picked friends, forum moderaters and long term supporters and affiliated guild members.
    5. According to mmorpg.it journalist beta started on Monday January 5th. If the game was going to be delayed why open journalist beta?
    There is no open beta for journalists, unless you are refering to Tasos friends like gianna and her Beta preview on the website they host for her.

    Well you are in the DF forum. The same thing happens in the Aion forum if you mention DF so you guys are just as bad, haven't you got grinding to do or something? /shoo...

    I will do exactly as you say o' wise one.  Oh wait, I played L2 when it first came out and didn't care for it.  Way to stereotype that which you have no idea about.

    Key word is RELEASE DATE, not "a general time".  Only been 1 my friend.
    2. Tasos has also stated that DFO was more complete than many other mmorpg's 1 month after release (and that was in november)
    The beta testers say most of the features are not implemented yet, Tasos is talking BS.
    Haha what? Have you talked to a CONFIRMED beta tester? If not then keep quiet.
    3. Games that have not met their release date in the past have generally announced the release date 6 months to 1 year prior. Aventurine announced the dfo release date within 2 months. When you announce the release of a game in that short amount of time the game must already be completed (or extremely nearly completed).
    Darkfalls first release timeframe of many was set for 2003.
    They alluded to releasing in 2003 before they revamped the game. Nice try.
    4. There are relatively very few beta leaks and those that do exist are almost entirely positive. Also there are now over 1000 beta testers according to all the available information.

    I know 100% that this is false

    You can ignore my point above all you want, but it wont go away.

    Tasos said open beta would start a few weeks before release. That has turned out to be a lie. If they don't have an open bete, you should be very worried.

    But but but the "confirmed" thousands of beta testers, including the journalist beta testers (because the OP said Polarization was wrong about only a couple of hundred testers!) have only positive things to say, so that means Darkfall is perfect and doesn't need an Open Beta!

The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

    1,2 and 3 make sense. 4 and 5 do not. If the journalist beta is open that doesn't mean anything as long as the NDA is still up.

    And lack of beta leaks is troubling, not encouraging. It means there are not many beta testers. There shouldn't be 1,000, there should be 10,000.

    I don't care what game it is, if 10K people play it, a few hundred of them will hate it. Even if I think it's the best game ever, somebody is going to disagree, and post about in on a beta leak. Unless there just aren't many beta testers, which is not a good thing.

    There are quite a few leaks about now, not as many as I would like to see and of course leaks are never proof of anything as you don't know how reliable or biased they are but they exist.

    What's your definition of "quite a few"? Is that more than three? four? More than four?
