The only people that like DF are the UO elitist hax0rz self-claimed pwnage people who suck at any other game except zerg/gank fests. All they do is clicking the mouse and feel happy.
Pretty hard to rate a game that is barely out of alpha stage. This game is probably at least a year away from being decent if of course the developers can stay around that long. I am amazed at the amount of people willing to pay to beta this game.
The scary part is that there will be no wipe at the end of this testing period, so all the exploited items will be in game when and if this game becomes playable. That is the problem with releasing an unfinished game.
Hey! Just wondering how many of you people like DFO?
Many people seem to HATE it but everyone who's played it appart from a few have said what a great game it is!
What do you guys think about it?
Good...or ....Bad??
Gonna fail....gonna last for years?
WoW killer?.......Or not
Thanks
probably would have been better to ask this on darkfall's forums; same amount of fanboi's but less trolls atleast.
Either way it boils down to this: 1) Do you enjoy PvP? 2) have you been disappointed with all the recient PvP games because there is no consequences? (or simply nothing that makes the PvP exciting/enjoyable). 3) is gameplay more important then graphics?
If you answered yes to all three then you may want to check out darkfall, if you answered no to any, then probably stay away.
I think you left out the most important feature. Do I like FPS games? YES! Do I want FPS combat in my MMORPG? NO!
What do you think they have now 8k players even some amateurs in garage make mmo that attrack more players.
They have maybe 355k register but i think Darkfall is msallest mmo so hype in history ever launched with start day1 4k players and after 2 weeks 8k players lol this must be record for been lowest payed community at launch ever.
And for now offcorse all who play say its great, but already if you have follow those live stream sites you see few already complaining and are bored 2 streams i watched already sold there account, on offcial forum already few sold there account.
If they continuing like this allinating europeans and hardcore this game is doomed with how they do business now.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
Im only going to comment on the wow killer part. Can people stop asking if a game is going to be a WoW killer? Time will kill WoW and that is all. Apart from that they cater to different people so i highly doubt that even if darkfall makes it, it will have any impact at all on WoW.
It wont even kill old games like AC-SB or UO lol thats how pathetic this launch was:P

The NPC AI is great, the Combat is awesome and complex, the graphics are actually pretty good, its funny how many of the things the trolls are spamming is simply not true.

I heard they get stuck in knee-deep water. Have they fixed this? Or is that still considered "great"?
Darkfall is unlike anything else on the market. Not everyone likes diffrent.
Oh its that allright. As in the only Alpha MMO that comes with rose tinted glasses
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
Ok, I been under a rock for 2 weeks and missed the launch (spent the time in Cuba, didn't go to any net café)...
But it seems to me like things are exactly like just before the launch, some people love it while other hates it. Typical of a niche game but no niche game can compete with Wow in popularity, it would be like having a Black metal band compete with the most popular pop star.
I do want to try the game once they make a trial, maybe I like it but it can never compete with "pop"games like Wow and Guildwars, it just don't offer enough of different kinds of gameplay.
I am not a Wow fan myself but it do have something for at least almost everyone and the next big game will have to pull in both PvP and PvE players.
We were one of the lucky guilds to get a beta invite. Many of us have been around since the UO days so its no suprise we all wanted DF to be successful, fun and our home for a few coming years.
Most of us quit in beta. I only know of one who still plays the game.
It's that bad. Imho.

Darkfall is going to be a WoW-Killer for me personally because I've grown sick of it a long time ago. Unfortunately they are limiting the number of people they let in atm
I can see a lot of happiness on offiical forums and the PVP vids look tight. So cant wait to get in. I would ignore the trolls on this site though never ask their opinion just sub and try for yourself. You can probably trust PAragus though (blogger here on this site). He writes good stuff.

Man you must be the most unloyal fanboi. A few months ago you used to praise Darkfall 24/7. You gave darkfall fanbois a bad name yo
As a person who has played Darkfall since launch, yeah pretty much everyone likes it. I say pretty much because I guess there will always be someone out there who wont like it, but tbh I have never met anyone in the game who isnt loving the hell out of it.
The NPC AI is great, the Combat is awesome and complex, the graphics are actually pretty good, its funny how many of the things the trolls are spamming is simply not true.
-Darkstar
I hate to bring this into general forums, since this discussion doesn't really belong here but this awesome and complex combat is about as awesome and complex as Counter Strike knife fighting only with crappier animations.

Counter strike is like crack for FPS'ers. That doesn't sound bad at all. I guess for folks used to autoattack all these years will be offended but I really dont see your logic here.
I've seen a lot of anti-DF fanbois preach this like its a bad thing and its kinda funny.
you have 1 post ( are you the DEVs cousin or something, j/k)...
If everyone actually likes it, then why are you asking us? of course it not a wow killer, you cant even buy the damn game. I believe WOW had a thing called an "ADVERTISMENT" when it was released. I see darkfall, nowhere for pre order or for sell. Darkfall is a joke. even aion has a pre order on amazon. the devs of darkfall could be swimming in cash right now and hire extra help if they knew the least bit about marketing. A pre order option on amazon would bring generous revenue to build there team futher. is adventurine ran by monkeys?
I like the idea of Darkfall, I don't like all the stuff I'm reading and seeing on Youtube though about hacks and the lack lustre way Aventurine is going about stopping it, I would have expected at least a Hotfix by now to sort it temporarily.
If Aventurine sorted it's self out and made the game readily available 24/7, dealt with the hackers and I don't care if it's just a hand full doing it, a hand full is still too much. Sorted out a proper 2 way communication with the forums then I'l get myself a copy, no chance until then and I'l just sit on the sidelines looking at it with an intersted look but not daring to enter just incase I get seriously shafted by the management.
Also whats with the WoW killer stuff, every bloody new MMO thats ever come out has supposedly killed off every MMO before it, it ain't happend it ain't ever going to happen so please for the love of all thats sane stop bloody saying it.

So mindlessly running around and hitting the left mouse button trying to hit your opponent is a good this for an MMORPG?
As they load more people onto their server, you're going to see the game get progressively worse. Because it's difficult to get an account from Aventurine at this time, the secondary market is beginning to thrive.
This game probably will do OK for a few months - if they open up another server - and then people will probably be driven off as large bands of gank squads take over.

Just a thought here... Maybe you never met anyone ingame who doesn't like it is because they all stopped playing? Why play a game that you don't like?

Darkfall is a niche game. It does not cater to the masses and thus will not interest them.
Within it's niche, Darkfall should do well for years to come as long as it survives the next few months.
Darkfall maybe dont get mass but they cater to mass well they try hard no succes yet it will prolly fail.
Universial banks Starwars Towers with LAZERBEAMS, and neon lights above head:(, alignment system to protect the carebears.
It saty nich becouse of terible pre-orders launch lack of knowledge business customer service and to much catered towwards US only player base.
These are main reason why it now stay nich not becouse its hardcore only.

Right now I think Darkfall is just too expensive for what it offers, which is basically a huge PVP arena.
For what its worth,
We were one of the lucky guilds to get a beta invite. Many of us have been around since the UO days so its no suprise we all wanted DF to be successful, fun and our home for a few coming years.
