Oh, and this Brannoc guy is one of the devs? Well, "I'm not paying attention". That explains it.
Isn't Brannoc one of the original Devs from Norway where they started writing the draft for this game back in 1995?
I have no idea, I thought Darkfall was just a strange collection of odd-looking Europeans with one semi-hot girl. At least the lead devs are, last I heard they had an astounding number (30) of total devs.
People say Brannoc is one of the devs so I believe 'em.

I never laid the blame squarely on the trolls.. Actually, I pretty much put the whole "troll" problem on the fanboy's themselves..

The worst on both sides make rediculous claims with poor spelling and grammar (I sooo wanted to use an e). The real problem is most of the more hardcore "fanboys" can't tell the difference between an actual internet troll, and a critic or burned former fan of Darkfall's ideas. But what I said still stands, the more they try to "fight back" against REAL trolls, the worse their troll problem will get. Many of the worst trolls almost always use horrible grammar and spelling, along with leet speak thrown in (but their amateurs, usually from SA or "ebaums") while the most successful trolls go almost unnoticed. But proper trolling seems to be a lost artform as it seems every 12yr old that visited 4chan think they can troll, and/or are actually funny. A talanted troll is, sometimes, a beautiful thing to watch.. But usually, they're so good you don't know that you've been trolled until after you smashed your monitor in a fit of nerdrage.
I agree. 'Don't feed the trolls'...lol...and I agree that true trolling is an artform.
Sorry about hitting you with the spelling mistake...lol I do it myself more often than I'll admit to. That said it's 'ridiculous'.
All the fighting has to be taken with a laugh, no matter what side you are fighting on, it's not really doing any harm to the game. It demonstrates that people won't change their opinion based on what trolls say, though I do believe that some of the most ardent fans drive people away.
I didn't mean my post to be an attack on you, you just said troll like 50 times so I assumed that you were anti-trolling. You know what assume does...lol
These forums are just for fun for me. It's like throwing water balloons at a Christian Youth Rally. No harm is really being done, it's just funny to watch them freak out and start shouting obscenities.

No offense taken, a college education and I still can't spell worth a spit.. But it's true, I'm not anti troll.. I've been known to go to young earth creationist websites and spam them with evolution logic.. It's a sick pleasure, but fundies, be it christian or darkfall fanboys, do supply some facepalming replies. I find the whole "troll vs. fanboy" fight hillarious, myself, especially seeing as I've given tips on how to control the troll problem (I feel sorry for some of the more "honest" fans) but that advice has been completely ignored by most for more of a "fire vs fire" approach.. which we've all seen works so great... /sarcasm

Your first statement was interesting. Everything following the first period was just the same-old-tripe.
Played (more than a month): SWG, Second Life, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, EvE, MxO, Ryzom.
this has to be fake..no way a real dev would ever talk to the community like that
No, he is the Community Manager, he isn't doing any development at all and has no idea what is going on development wise other than what the devs are telling him.
You may think this is even worse, I think this guy is great

Haha... You haven't ever heard of Trancechat or The Way International have you? I used to troll their forums all the time. Part of me feels bad sometimes because a lot of the people on these forums are just kids and I know they take this stuff a lot more seriously than I do, but I also go out of my way to say something nice to people if I offend them too badly. If I ever actually tried to get some of the fans or trolls on these boards to change their opinions based on logic I'd end up tearing my hair out in frustration. LOL Luckily I don't care enough to allow myself to be drawn into anything that serious.
The Way International, been there, hehe.. It's true most are very uneducated young kids, but I usually prowl for evolution Vs ID fights already underway. Biology and science has been a pet project of mine for a while, and very rarely does it ever turn into a logical debate, but many of those uneducated "I'm not a monkey lolz" arguments piss me off to no end. Plus, I had a few moronic relatives that are fundies try to campaign for ID in my community.. Lets just say they don't show up for thanksgiving anymore. It's sad I usually try to use logical arguments with notations on my points, but I usually end up getting flamed once I've exhausted their pre-planned arguments, then banned. But I have a whole set of bookmarks, and they usually don't IP ban.
"Ultima Online was at least fun to play at the beginning and allowed all who wanted to join in. "
Hmm, spoken like someone who was not there for UO's release, which was very, very rocky. Lag up the wazoo. Virtually unplayable in the first couple weeks. In fact, PC Gamer trashed it with a 60% conditional review (allowing that it would likely improve if they could fix the lag and balance issues).

At the Way's site I was known as 'The Apostate', they eventually banned me for comparing Jesus to the easter bunny. Which was surprising as it was by far not the worst thing I had said.
Yeah, my family's all fundamentalist so I have to hold my tongue at family gatherings. They're good people, just blinded by their need to have some 'purpose' in being. They mostly just leave me alone. They know how I feel, I know how they feel and we all know that nothing any of us say is going to change the other's outlook.
Well it was great to meet someone with an alike veiw on things, but I don't want to derail this thread any further with a personal conversation. Besides which, I am tired as hell...lol

That definitely pushed me over the edge. I was contemplating getting the game a few months down the line, if it was still around and provided they fixed it, but with douche bags like that running it, I would never.
Thank you, Mrbloodworth! You truly are a pillar to this community.
Don't think so either, but he is a rabid fanboy. This topic is just him trying to justify why he has been so rabid over the past few months. Reposting a troll post...
Every normal fan would just dismiss such a troll post without even thinking about it. Signus on the other hand gets all worked up about it, enough to make a topic on mmorpg.com instead of playing Darkfall.

sorry, if this game was super duper great, then why so many posts from the fanboys? repeatedly and over and over again? that one dude kept posting until we pointed out that if he was so in love with the game, he'd be playing the game instead of doing damage control.
just take wow's horrid release -- hyjal was pretty rough for a couple/three/six months and yet that first day (and week) no one stopped playing wow long enough to go post anything about wow -- cuz we were having fun.
but darkfall is so great and fun that this entire first week (so far) the fanbois do nothing BUT post. some of them stop "poasting" once we point this out... but some are determined to do damage control... which is really weird, since sales are stopped on darkfall.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

Hahaha, maybe I need to start reading the official forums again for this game. Sounds like it just got good again!
Comments
Isn't Brannoc one of the original Devs from Norway where they started writing the draft for this game back in 1995?
I have no idea, I thought Darkfall was just a strange collection of odd-looking Europeans with one semi-hot girl. At least the lead devs are, last I heard they had an astounding number (30) of total devs.
People say Brannoc is one of the devs so I believe 'em.
I agree. 'Don't feed the trolls'...lol...and I agree that true trolling is an artform.
Sorry about hitting you with the spelling mistake...lol I do it myself more often than I'll admit to. That said it's 'ridiculous'.
All the fighting has to be taken with a laugh, no matter what side you are fighting on, it's not really doing any harm to the game. It demonstrates that people won't change their opinion based on what trolls say, though I do believe that some of the most ardent fans drive people away.
I didn't mean my post to be an attack on you, you just said troll like 50 times so I assumed that you were anti-trolling. You know what assume does...lol
These forums are just for fun for me. It's like throwing water balloons at a Christian Youth Rally. No harm is really being done, it's just funny to watch them freak out and start shouting obscenities.
*I haven't done that for years by the way. I'd hate for people to think I'm a nearly middle aged reprobate...lol*
I present to you the Brannoc log.
this has to be fake..no way a real dev would ever talk to the community like that
Not fake. Taken from over a year of IRC.
Here is a great one from the past.
01:53 <@Brannoc>; I think limited release sales when you're releasing your first ever game is a fairly smart thing to do tbh
01:53 <@Brannoc>; who wants the servers to be down all day on launch day?
Indeed. Indeed.
Nice find Mr B.
"20:16 <@Brannoc>; in 2005 things were supposed to be all ready and they ran into distribution snags that couldn't be resolved Signus"
Still screwed them 3 years later..
And you don't see how the hardcore fans of the game do the same thing? Trolls do this and trolls do that... Troll Troll Troll. You say that trolls have bad spelling and 'GRAMMAR', yet some of the worst writing I've seen has come from rabid fans. Both sides are just as bad. Of course you can't say anything about people's poor grammar because all of a sudden English isn't their first language.
Quit whining people. Discuss things rationally, argue them ignorantly, ignore people who say things you don't agree with if you must, but take care of these things at the point of origin, don't drag them out and start new threads about them. If there is a thread talking about Darkfall's combat and somebody says that 'Darkfail SUXX cuz it's all running in circles and randomly clicking the mouse!' then debate that issue there don't start a new thread going 'You won't believe what this Troll said!'. For the love of all that's holy start realizing that flame wars are a two way street and if you post a thread like this one you are just as bad as any troll.

ROFL, this guy is priceless
Your first statement was interesting. Everything following the first period was just the same-old-tripe.
Played (more than a month): SWG, Second Life, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, EvE, MxO, Ryzom.
Tried: WoW, Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Everquest, WWII Online, Planetside
Beta: Lotro, Tabula Rasa, WAR.
No, he is the Community Manager, he isn't doing any development at all and has no idea what is going on development wise other than what the devs are telling him.

Part of me feels bad sometimes because a lot of the people on these forums are just kids and I know they take this stuff a lot more seriously than I do, but I also go out of my way to say something nice to people if I offend them too badly. If I ever actually tried to get some of the fans or trolls on these boards to change their opinions based on logic I'd end up tearing my hair out in frustration. LOL Luckily I don't care enough to allow myself to be drawn into anything that serious.
The Way International, been there, hehe.. It's true most are very uneducated young kids, but I usually prowl for evolution Vs ID fights already underway. Biology and science has been a pet project of mine for a while, and very rarely does it ever turn into a logical debate, but many of those uneducated "I'm not a monkey lolz" arguments piss me off to no end. Plus, I had a few moronic relatives that are fundies try to campaign for ID in my community.. Lets just say they don't show up for thanksgiving anymore. It's sad I usually try to use logical arguments with notations on my points, but I usually end up getting flamed once I've exhausted their pre-planned arguments, then banned. But I have a whole set of bookmarks, and they usually don't IP ban.
Hmm, spoken like someone who was not there for UO's release, which was very, very rocky. Lag up the wazoo. Virtually unplayable in the first couple weeks. In fact, PC Gamer trashed it with a 60% conditional review (allowing that it would likely improve if they could fix the lag and balance issues).
People have short memories.
At the Way's site I was known as 'The Apostate', they eventually banned me for comparing Jesus to the easter bunny. Which was surprising as it was by far not the worst thing I had said.
Yeah, my family's all fundamentalist so I have to hold my tongue at family gatherings. They're good people, just blinded by their need to have some 'purpose' in being. They mostly just leave me alone. They know how I feel, I know how they feel and we all know that nothing any of us say is going to change the other's outlook.
Well it was great to meet someone with an alike veiw on things, but I don't want to derail this thread any further with a personal conversation. Besides which, I am tired as hell...lol
Cya around Syyth.
"I have a friend" With no name no way to check the story blah blah. We all have the same friend haha.
As the matrix would say.. there is no friend.
They should look at this.
I present to you the Brannoc log.
this has to be fake..no way a real dev would ever talk to the community like that
Factor in the DF element into the equation. I could believe anything about this game, its fanbois and the developers and admins.
If anyone would like I could play a violin to this post ... ?
I present to you the Brannoc log.
That definitely pushed me over the edge. I was contemplating getting the game a few months down the line, if it was still around and provided they fixed it, but with douche bags like that running it, I would never.
Thank you, Mrbloodworth! You truly are a pillar to this community.
signus def isnt brannoc lmao
Don't think so either, but he is a rabid fanboy. This topic is just him trying to justify why he has been so rabid over the past few months. Reposting a troll post...
Every normal fan would just dismiss such a troll post without even thinking about it. Signus on the other hand gets all worked up about it, enough to make a topic on mmorpg.com instead of playing Darkfall.

sorry, if this game was super duper great, then why so many posts from the fanboys? repeatedly and over and over again? that one dude kept posting until we pointed out that if he was so in love with the game, he'd be playing the game instead of doing damage control.
just take wow's horrid release -- hyjal was pretty rough for a couple/three/six months and yet that first day (and week) no one stopped playing wow long enough to go post anything about wow -- cuz we were having fun.
but darkfall is so great and fun that this entire first week (so far) the fanbois do nothing BUT post. some of them stop "poasting" once we point this out... but some are determined to do damage control... which is really weird, since sales are stopped on darkfall.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

lmao... what?
Darkfall is an overhyped flop...! This game won't even be open in 6 months, so it doesn't matter what anyone says..!
