You gotta love how the darkfall haters have to not only lash out at the game every chance they get, but lash out at everybody who likes the game as well. If this is the type of person who is going to be playing Mortal Online, maybe I'll rethink my plans for a preorder.
"Darkfall Online takes in the mouth of all those that have been involved in the world of the MMORPGs since it left, for already 4 months. When Aventurine began with its development, it does or more than 8 years, few gave credit to this small study of development, and they described many it as vaporware, Darkfail or other tuna denominations, interested or done almost always from ignorance. I do not want to enter the classic disquisition of the world of fans of the MMORPGs pre-wow and post-wow, but without a doubt it is a great factor to consider. Aventurine left very clearly what persecuted: • A MMORPG based on the MMORPGs but old, as It completes Online, with its classic functionalities: or Crafting > Drop, that is to say, that what you would puedieran to make the players using crafts abilities, always would be superior to the objects that would puedieran to throw the Monstrous or NPCs in the world of Agon. or Risk stop versus Reward, that is to say, at the most you gamble, but you would win. In this concept loot is included different functionalities like full, or to lose everything what it takes when dying, the challenges by the cities, in which the clans gamble their city or a very high amount of money when trying to conquer another one, or generally, the danger that it has to travel by the world of Agon, where behind each corner it can have a player or a NPC ready to asesinarte without mercy or robarte your mount while you lower to you to keep it. or Game noninstanciado: A flat and persistent world, without zoning, private and sites where hide-and-seek or unattainable instances for any player. or Innovating system battle: fleeing from classic tabulator + Spam of spells or abilities, Aventurine has created its own graphical motor that completely includes a system battle Shooter or FPS, as much for the part mele as ranged, where the ability surpasses to the equipment and where players with personages with a similar development or far distant, will always gain the best one to the keyboard, and in fights of groups, without a doubt they gain the best one organized instead of best the equipment or with trinket fashionable. In the part ranged, the magicians must aim at the ground or the personage to give their objective, and the arqueros to consider the distance and the parabola
or A great newness: System battle to horse, very obtained, that allows an important superiority to the cavalry loads, and that a good force of arqueros can defeat in just a short time. or As far as loot, Aventurine wanted a system in which to even pick up the objects of the fallens was real, having to one by one gather them, after keeping your weapon, abrir your knapsack and to puncture and to drag. or PvP FFA, with alignment system. or System and 3 factions, but in fact the great clans are ARACK, or that admit all the races. or The transport is limited mounts on foot and, or to do “recall” to where the personage this tying, or the site in which does respawn when dying. Also there is runas of transport, that is necessary to mark before use. or If you die, or you can run to look for your tomb or will lose what you took, if you have not been victim of a Gank.
Once said this, how it is the health of the game? The world of Agon has passed through a evolution similar to which probably has passed any civilization, keeping the distances. Thousands of players entered the game the first weeks, creating clans, that organized themselves as well in alliances, to control the cities and hamlets (towns) of the game. The cities and hamlets are positions of attention to control zones of farming, or farmeo, and in addition they semi offer safe places for the players of the alliances, besides providing structures like mines, sawmills or farms that provide the necessary resources for magical reagentes, arms, armors or mounts. Therefore, the clans that control but cities will have but to be able to make equipment and to raise their abilities of magic or fights, which makes the fight of conquest the fundamental factor of the game, that is to say, high end. The first two months of the game saw like great guilds classic of the world of the games based on PvP, like the Goons, The Mercs, The Duchy of Wessex, Lord of Death, Grief, Blood, Shadow Syndicate, SUN and other many fought by the control. Organized in great alliances that group to hundreds or thousands of players, they battled every day by the cities.
Map WWI This gave rise to the call World War I in Agon, in which the Hyperion alliance, commanded by Wessex, grouped to but of 4000 players, the great Zerg, and was able to control tens of cities and hamlets, and its avarice obtained that the rest of alliances was grouped against them, attacking to them by different fronts. After a war that extended several weeks, Hyperion occurred by won and disappeared, partly by the fight put by the Goons, calls in DFO The Awful Company and their allies, that the second great Zerg of the servant created, and that for a short time more of a month are fighting, and losing, against the alliances of Afghanistan, Cairn and the SB, in the World War II.
To say it of some way, this has been the main history of Agon. But in addition, there are other hundreds of small clans made up of PKs pure that dedicate themselves to do Roaming by the world of Agon, assaulting collectors, small hamlets, or declaring the war among them and fighting in the capitals of the 3 factions among them, the Alfar faction, the faction Mahirim- Orco, and the classic human-elfos-dwarves. The game has undergone a great evolution in only four months, with Aventurine having patched continuously trying to fix to nuemerosos exploits and bugs, and fitting the alieneamiento system, that we have not commented, that allows the players to kill to those of its own faction at the cost of becoming PK and not being able to enter its own cities, and forcing to kill to those of the opposite faction to recover its alignment. At this moment, the game gambles mainly in the great cities of the great alliances. People in the capitals or zones hardly see themselves that are not in conflict. The players keep forces for the great battles.

The players keep forces for the great battles. Graphic system, sound and yield DFO only has a servant, at the moment, where approximately 20k players fight every day. A right strategy on the part of Aventurine, knowing that but of 20% of which they prove the game they it will not like, since those denominated Carebears, or players to whom they do not like the risk, would not remain in the game. Said this, it is clear that in the great battles hundreds of players fight, and although at the beginning of the game the servants fell and the yield was low, at this moment the servant is able to manage several simultaneous sieges in different parts of the world with thousand from players involved altogether. The graphs are not of the best thing of the game, but it is necessary to say that the system of shades is sufficiently decent for a game of these characteristics, since a system with but quality could not offer these epic battles. And if you play, a thing that you cannot be lost is the cities of players. Each designed by hand, in caves, islands, mountains, puertso, barricades. a delight of the graphical design. The adapted sound also this to this philosophy, being very basic, fulfills its assignment, since the sound, like in many FPS, is fundamental in the combat, to know how from where the enemy attacks, to hear to the mounts before seeing them, listening to collectors itching mines or cutting wood, or to listen to like your enemy “joke” before atacarte, and in addition, to be able to manage a battle in whom there are hundreds or thousands of simultaneous sounds. PvE By far, the worse thing of the game for the lovers of this aspect. First, because the NPCs is easily “bugeables”, and although these seem to have a good AI, running, avoiding and going to request aid to another NPCs when they feel threatened, are not a great challenge, since in addition any object done by the players is better. Some of the NPCs and MOBs have been the main problem in the game, since they allowed at the time to be exploitados by many clans that secured countless resources in the form of gold or reagentes that have given an enormous advantage them with respect to the new players or to that did not abuse. Even so, some guilds are trying to kill super mobs of the game, like the dragoons, that require tens of players using thousands of you shoot with an arrow and magic to kill to them, but loot is so poor that he is not profitable absolutely, just as the cost in arms, that also are spent and they are not possible to be repaired, nor armors. In addition almost any half high MOB always will win in best damage to healers in the game. The worse thing. Unfortunately for Aventurine, the worse thing has come in the form of Hacks. We have in DFO all the fan that asola the games online from the start of these games, aimbots, wallhacks, teleports etc. She is without a doubt one of the main reasons for which they have left it to the players, in a game with full loot, if after being “farmeando” during hours, you die into the hands of hacker using speedhack + aimbot, is but frustante who can have, and the reason not to pay but the monthly instalment very well. It seems that Aventurine has begun to persecute to these hackers, but the problem is still far from being solved. Another good reason is the lack of softcap for the abilities and stats. The players but hardcore have groups of player to the maximum, defenses yet, damage with arc, with arms mele, magic, you cure and comic, that almost make them play in “god mode”. He is unproblema that the players can be specialized in everything and custe not to raise but abilities that others, because that creates too great disadvantages. Our score. The game is magnificent. It is the greater impact in the world of the MMORPGs for years, without a doubt, different, oriented to the epic fight PvP between great alliances, conquers, where the players really create impanto enormous in the persistent world of Agon, and with a completely different system battle, where the organization, the coordination, als tactical and the shabilidades tell but that in no otr, and where the policy has a paper fundamental to control the wars and sieges. Guilds but important of the world in the aspect of PvP is centered in him, spending to hours and resources without limit, and reproducing the great fights that years ago had in It completes Online or in ShadowBane. It is a game for the players of the old school, that never will arrive at the numbers of another MMORPGs trims in PvE, but that as It completes Online, ShadowBane or famous Star Wars Galaxies pre-cu, will create legend, and within years many will say “I I played DFO first the years, fights against or with Hyperion, I fought against or with the Goons, or fought in the next wars that will come….” In spite of hacks, exploits and bugs, deserve 9.5 by originality, value, and by the own history and legend that are constructing the own players with epic battles.."
i cant understand it

It only took how many months to find one good rating for this piece of garbage game?? lol......They probably gave Hello Kitty Online a 12.5 though.........

His post is racist and insultive to everyone. i hope he gets banned

This review can be completely ignored imo.
They gave graphics a 9.... No matter what your take on how bad or good darkfall may be, or how bad the company running it has handled publicity, etc. everyone can tell that the graphics and animations are complete rubbish.
And for you people who claim that AV is a small studio and thats somehow an excuse:
I know it was made by an indie blah blah blah...I dont give a shit. Every game should be judged by its peers, so an indie developed game's graphics should be judged by it's peers, and clearly Darkfall's graphics are far far worse than a 9/10 (90%, A....I guess this shitty performance might warrent an A in some public schools though)
The writer must have been a fanboy?
Yes, everyone who likes this game must just be a fanboy. Everyone who doesnt hate what you hate must just be an idiot. If only we could all be like you!
see with all the fiasco from the last review these guys have kind of set a president for reviewers now. they know to expect that the game they reviewed will try to trash them if its a bad review.
so at this point the reviewer has to worry about the fallout if he doesnt like the game and how it will affect the site he writes for.
all the drama outside of this game just turned me off completely. i dont care if its any good at this point. im staying away. theres too many reviews that swing from one side to the other and anything at all negative is violently defended against.
is adventurine secretly the church of scientology? they sure seem to use the same pr tactics.
Games i'm playing right now...

Point to where I said he was an idiot or where I said I hated the game.
EDIT: The quote function wont work for me, this post was in regards to Maduex (spelling?) the guy with the demon child as his avatar
What I am about to say is 100% true and not stated to be mean toward anyone
when I first saw MO I thought, great graphics I might try it out when it comes out. Then later I heard that much of what I would call "RTS" really isnt going to me in MO at all, sure maybe in the future but not anytime near its release date. (sorry for those that do not understand the context of what I am saying when I use the word RTS in the context of Darkfall and/or MO and no I am not going to explain it again)
So at this point in my story I had already decided that I most likely will not try it. I might spend the $50 to try out the graphics becuase I am a graphic junky but even that was unlikely.
At this point however, I am waiting for all the players who hate DF to leave the game and when they do where ever they mass I want to stay away from as much as possible. Not to teach them a lesson, just becuase I dont want to be around them
That would be MO.
No way will I try MO until its out in the mainstream market for at least 6 months and mostly becuase of the community that is currently attracted to it. not having RTS would be second.
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

Graphics in a game doesn't only mean character animation. While pretty much everyone will agree that the characters could've been better the enviroment's graphic are really good. Also, with a much higher quality, the game can be accessed by a larger audience than most games who aim for a much higher quality.
And since when does graphics describes how good a game is? Because honestly even RuneScape wouldn't have such a huge player database if it did. And while you might reply "I never said graphics makes a game", the moment you wrote "This review can be completly ignored imo" and discussed only about the graphics, I think that speaks for itself.

I didnt say that graphics made the game, I said that the reviewer proved that he had a "pro-darkfall" bias by rating the graphics subsection a 9/10. If he would have been unbiased, It would have probably sat around the 5 range.
His pro-darkfall bias (as shown by his graphics subsection rating) would make me ignore the review. I want unbiased reviews - and yes I know that is hard to find these days for almost any game.

STOP TROLLING - we darkfall players are sick and tired of it. just like, we darkfall players are sick and tired of lies and fanbois!
after playing darkfall for some time, and having played it's contemporaries - any rating above 50% is very suspect - any reasonable person would agree. i would even say most ratings close to 50% would be suspect.
tl;dr - STOP TROLLING.
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?

TO ALL,
this is almost word for word exactly what someone wrote to me yesterday..
just to let everyone know peple are trying to scam you into a troll fit by calling you a troll
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

Do any of the darkfall supporters honestly believe it deserves a 9.5? I seem to remember alot of ppl going nuts over a "bad review", where are they now? This review is just as bad, just to the positive.
You gotta love how the darkfall haters have to not only lash out at the game every chance they get, but lash out at everybody who likes the game as well. If this is the type of person who is going to be playing Mortal Online, maybe I'll rethink my plans for a preorder.
The type of person who will be playing MO will be the same ones who are playing Darkfall atm, or hating on it (which shows they are interested in it). The pool of players for a FFA game is the same...dont really understand the MO noobs coming here and preaching that MO community is so much better and more mature than DFs. Its just that we are waiting till the game goes open beta/live.
It seems they just have no ideea of PVP games, the same guys and guilds, Goons, mercs, blood and everyone else will try it. Know the kind of people you will play with before you buy it.
Everquest community is not in DF, and will not be in MO. Thats just how it is.
Regarding the review, at least you can clearly see he played the game and was informed of everything going on in the world, from PVE to the guild alliances and politics. Much more informed than a certain imbecile from Eurogamer.
weird, cuz for a year or so before the darkfall "release", we had to put up with darkfail trolls on every forum on the internet -- talking about how great everything surrounding darkfall was going to be.
you're only starting to feel the pain of the non-fanboi community, with the MO threads. a teeny tiny small portion of the pain, tbqmfh.
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?
As a darkfall supporter and one that many consider a fanboi I conside 9.5 to be to high.
if I was a game reviewer I would give it an 8.
compared to games i personally have played I would give it a 9.
8-9 is a bit more close to 9.5 than 2 is.
I guess industry wide we can say we are still at 5.75 which is still too low

Can't understand spanish, but the rating sounds about right? Are you serious? Do you know how long the reviewer played for? Since you were so willing to ride Ed Zitron (sp?) about it? This is why DF fans for the most part, are a running joke in too many game forums.
If you are happy with a high review that you can't even understand. Just because it gave your little love child a high score. Then you are an even bigger <blank> then I thought.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
I played it for more than a week, about a month, and i liked it. But Id still rate it about a 6-7, because of it's lack of polish and having to play on the EU server for so long.

we darkfall players don't go for double standards.
instead of posting spanish reviews, can we get a good translation, op? and we darkfall players, after the scrutiny given to the vastly more accurate ratings of 2/10 and 4/10; we darkfall players very much want to know how many hours this reviewer played.
if i don't speak spanish, how do i even know this supposed review is even about darkfall?
talk about random trolling by just posting another-language link.... wtf over?
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?
They probably just wanted a mention from Darkfall henche the high review. Even a lot of people who play and enjoy the game wouldn't rate it that high yet. This person loses all credibility as far as i'm concerned.
Hispanwho?
I could not agree more with this statement. There is always extreme love or extreme hate for this game. We need more balanced reviews that are willing to say whats good about the game as well as the bad. Also both sides need to better manage their reactions to criticism or praise coming from both sides. It does not make sense to troll and flame someone just because they like/hate something. Also it does not make sense to nerd rage about a review whether its good or bad.
Seriously, how are you going to get mad and tell someone else that their OPINION is wrong even if it may be based in false information. Instead of doing that why don't everyone tell why they have the opinion they have...
No single MMO from UO and Meridian 59 to whatever just released is worth a 9,5. They still don't have the perfection that just a few single player games have been able to create (Diablo, NWN, Quake 2, half life...).
This is just about another game page that gives out way to high scores. And I would write this no matter what game got 9,5, no MMO have ever been over a 9. Sorry but I give MMORPG Hispano a 1.
They could also tell us more why they give the game 9,5 while they still say it is bugged? 9,5 is almost perfect and therefor it shouldn't have any buggs whatsoever to get this score.
I mean a 6 would be one thing or even a 7 because the reviewer liked the gameplay and new thinking is good and should award bonus points but any MMO should be judged on graphics, sounds & music, gameplay, performance, story, art, interface and community(people cheating or using bots lower this score for any game BTW).
Can anyone actually honest say that DF (or any other MMO for that matter) deserves at least a 9 on all these points?
I think not.
And no, I am not against DF as such but I am against stupid reviews that either are bought by the devs or made by the worlds biggest fanboi. Other MMOs have had these too, always upsets me.
No game ever made is worth a 9.5 rating, and any review that offers that high of a rating can be dismissed out of hand as completely biased ( and most likely having some type of financial reason for offering a high rating of unpolished and broken games, you see this type of thing often in certain gaming magazines ).
DFO is a solid 4.5, and with much polish ( and several game changes ) could possibly rise to a 6.0
