first darkfall dragon kill

javacjavac Member Posts: 1,175

well-known WOW guild 'Serenity Now' (who has apparently ditched WOW for Darkfall) has slain the first named Darkfall dragon: forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php

 

great news IMO for the people interested in Darkfall PVE.

 

this, on top of the well-publicised 150v150 battles, DF is just going from strength to strength. they just need to prove they can now scale up the number of game servers.

    How many epics did it drop?

     

    EDIT: It actually looks like they didn't down the dragon and just lied about it. However, it's Serenity Now vs. Onlookers on the forums, check it out.

    He who keeps his cool best wins.

    Yes as far as I know dragon dropped an epic sword (without jokes - I saw it in chat). Rank 90 2-hander with owning stats. But I doubt someone will ever dare to use it in PvP...

    I would jump into this game the instant if this happened. Doesnt matter if im a hater or a troll, i WOULD BUY THIS GAME!!! trust me. lol

    btw, no pics of the loot or the mob acutally dead (that SS shows 35% health).  And it's not a server first regardless.  GG SN.

    Are they on water or just falling through the map?

    this dragon was killed multiple times in beta. It is apparently a fairly easy dragon to kill.

    I can't see anything here.

    Is that a dwarf sitting on a dragons neck? Why is he tilted to the right and where is the other half of the dragon?

    Also, what is that thing in the middle of the screenshot, another dragon?

     Jeez...this game looks so terrible.

    It doesnt seem to be a big accomplishment. Much less no stratergy involved. Just look

    www.youtube.com/watch

    The pve doesnt look as marketed. i dont see any brilliant ai comming from this mob.

    so did goblins only get a slight morrowind ai boost?

    Looks a bit like toy soldiers slashing at a big rubber dragon toy.

     

    To bad they have no animations for turning in DF. That would make it look a lot better.

    Wow this game looks horrid, I just dont see the apeal here. Even Shadowbane's PVE blows this away!

  • miagisanmiagisan Member Posts: 5,156

    the graphics on the dragon look nice, but it seemed total devoid of any ai.....and god, the over head chop of melee.....seriously....are there anythin else but side hits and over head hits? i would be bored to tears after a few minutes.

    What you have to do to become it on the ground walking ? Dragons are flying mostly (well the red dragons at  least)

    Congratulation SN. Nice accomplishment

    Looks DF has sweet PvE tasks also.

    I think his response was to the youtube that was linked by maxnrosy.

    There were no magic missiles in that, only those overhead chops with a complete still lower body. Would it really have been that hard to make them bend their knees?

    I have seen lots of comments on that those animations will be very easy to fix. If that is so, then why are they not fixed already?

    Also lots of comments about that graphics and animations don't matter, but then why go trough the trouble of creating a 3d game in the first place...

    Yeah, animation is not all to games. But the animations don't have to be like this either. There is a middle way.

    That is to you a "sweet PvE task"?

     

    I'm sorry, I just don't understand your reasoning for calling that sweet. Left clicking on a big badly made random stereotypical dragon is sweet? Does it even have any lore or reasoning to be there, or is it simply enough to make a big dragon and drop it randomly across the lands of Darkfall and then watch as the PvP'ers get something to talk about when referring to the 'sweet' PvE aspect of Darkfall.

    It is preferable not to travel with a dead man.

    Not to insult or anything, but I have to say that looked pretty boring.  It didn't seem like the AI was really doing anything special. Not to mention on parts of the video.  You can clearly see the dragon hovering off the ground,  but not because it was flying.

    hmm dragon battles. how can this one be epic when you have things like this from other games.

    www.youtube.com/watch

    This is from an old game.

    even wow's dragon fights are more epic. and these 2 are just random lame dragons.

    Too bad Serenity Now is full of shit. Plenty of other guilds have taken down dragons, some even on the first day the game went live.

    On the first day live? Let me ask you, do you consider this to be a good thing, people being able to kill dragons on day one?

    and why Not, that defines the game as a sandbox. I big group could come and topple any pve creature. There are not lvls ect. you can get some decent gear from goblins and go on a dragon kill spree. This game is not lvl base so it is possible.

    learn to sandbox?
