So whats up with DF?

redkaliber

   Whats goin on in DF? I see the servers are unavialable. Acount problems. Hysterical maniacs trying to refresh the page every second to get in. To tell you the truth this was to be expected. I mean which mmo in the past 5 years had a good launch? Anyway i just wanna play the game to see if that sandbox style will be as good as it sounds.

Basically what happened is you had an indie dev team made of oldschool gamers who decided to make one hell of a game, and they made it very well.

However...they are borderline retarded when it came to billing, launching, and predicting what the load was going to be like on release...and now we have our current situation.

Theyll fix it, the game will be fun as hell, its just unfortunate that they are mmo company #1423 that had a bad launch.

Hopefully a better company will take over billing, distribution, and publishing down the road. There's a reason why companies like FLS team up with publishers such as SOE. They just can't handle the maintenence and distribution on their own.

I hope they correct all these issue cause to someone like me "looking in the window" or "on the fence " about this game isnt impressed at all. It will turn alot of ppl away too. I'll give them 3-4 months b4 i even think of trying out this game.

Just an update : servers are up and running. Been in game for 30 mins, without crash or lag.

The expected issues are in the game : tons of player, few mobs : lots of noob bashing!

Oh and there are still options that bring a pop up saying "Don't click this button again!"

just stay cool...

 

look at warhammer! EA and GOA had same problems, and that are multi-million-dollar companies!

 

Im a bit more upset about taking down the forum and changing it into a whiny statement... do they wanna tell the forum has crashed?? LOL!

 

Another thing they should FAST think about are payment options! Tried to buy the game, but all they have is a poor american styled CreditCard Option... There are more secure and reliable payment-methods european like, (paypal etc)...

How long did you sit in the que for?

Surprisingly, 0 second queue

And believe me, it's CROWDED!

Been on for almost 2 hours now, bashing and getting ganked. It's fun!

And everyone i talked to where pre-orders, just like me. Seems to me it worked just fine. But by damn, i didn't think i'd see so many people on the first days!

Have they upped the mob spawns since beta? or is it still as void as ever?

Spawning time seems higher.

Thing is, there's like 50+ players camping a goblin camp.

Whenever a globin pops up, 4 or 5 players jump in to kill it and start bashing each other.

Guess what? Rogues!!! Weeeeee noob slaughter time

Quite a good summary. The problem is that they are headed by an egomaniac who has royally screwed things up, painting the whole development in a bad light. Get rid of Tasos and DF will flourish.

Good Lord I have a different idea of what is "fun" in a game than you brother.  That couldn't sound more idiotic and terrible.

Wrong. Things are now going better.

Boy you should have seen how things started at the end of Asheron's Call beta!

Or Anarchy Online?

Even EVE Online was a mess!

And don't get me started on the first days of World of Crapcraft!

 within the next month all the major issues people are having will be gone because they are probably the fastest to respond to player feedback out of any company

Oh really?

That's so interesting.

Really, i can't wait to read your next implied criticism so nicely constructed.

Seriously, if you do not see the point in mass noob brawls, you'd better wait a few months. Right now, there's so many people around that you can NOT avoid it.

After all, this is an open PvP world. Enjoy it or leave it. Judging me won't make you or me any smarter.
