i think the subconcious question here would be"Would i like the game or am i downloading it for nothing?"
As i said b4 Darkfall is a great sandbox game that still has issues. I Played it for 2 months (1 month per time) and i quit both times for same reason. Wrist pains.The interface forces you to use your mouse hand at least 50% more than other mmos.It's all about ergonomy. They kinda made things better with reducing tombs but still. It's drag and drop all the time, all the way till your wrist hurts baby!
Plus the alternating of melee and magic, sword and staff, spell changing etc STILL SUCKS BIG HAIRY DONKEY TESTICLES
Ugh, he tells the truth and reminds me of one of the biggest reasons I left as well...but as he says, good sandbox but with issues.

It goes down the same time every day for about an hour or less.
a nice guide for you
Yeah follow these guides! They got me my start.
Dear OP when you're in the clan announce in Race Alliance that you're a brand new player seeking a helpful guild asap. You will most likely find starter cities to be dead, everyone lives in player cities these days.
As for the whole it hurts my wrists... rebind your keys seriously. Use buttons like q,e ect and if you have a fancy mouse (i don't) you bind most of the main actions to it. Dragging loot hurting your wrist? See a Doctor but you could move your arm instead of twisting your wrist
That's like giving an advise to someone who can't swim to try and swim with his clothes on...Simply pointless.
Darkfalls UI is designed in such a way to create a "pseudo-time consuming-feeling" simulating the same amount of time looting in a supposed real time enviroment. That way the agony of "stealing" something gets magnified from the risk of someone interupting. I agree. But i have a better way . One button with a timer. Press LOOT and timer goes 1,2.....If it gets interupted then anything looted so far stays in inventory. They can even add a feature where each can prioritized which items to get looted first, second. etc. I trully do not see the gain from forcing players drag&drop the obvious
The dragging feature is there to delay the attacker when looting and also for when multiple people are looting they have to drag the most expensive items fast to get them. If it's a free for all looting fest. Although I agree I would like a click and it goes in, first to click gets it...
It's certainly a good basis for a game, but I right now I find it lacking in almost every way. I'm also not particularly fond of the combat. I like twitch based games, but the mobs and players don't move realistically at all. Turning on a dime, changing direction while still moving at full speed, stuff like that.

I actually loved darkfall when i played the trial. was really the best sandbox ive played. If i could afford to pay for more than 1 mmo this would easily be my second choice. I hear the pvp is hard to find but I didnt have an incredibly hard time finding it and when i did it was super epic.
It's pretty decent, fun combat mechanics, nice world, etc.. A good basis for a world if grown.. Kind of like a barebones system ready for some meat to be added.. It's too bad about the griefers and vets who have nothing better to do than go kill newer players due to being too cowardly to fight people their own strength!
Agreed.
People that behave like that in a game like this only tarnish it's reputation and turn people away. There are however, many Darkfall players that want nothing more than to help newbs out with tips and gear. I was lucky in my first fews days of playing. I had a half dozen people ask if I needed advice or if I wanted any ready bags. I was also asked if I'd like to join their clans in most cases. But, I'm well aware that many people did not experience this kind of treatment when they started out.

You need to self-heal, always make sure you have consumed food (and eat more when the food's effect has ended), and when your health is too low find some cover and rest ("H" key is default) for a brief time (nothing close to 10 minutes). That should help quite a bit. Also, make sure you watch those videos made by Val Roth that someone mentioned earlier in thread. They are beyond helpful to a new player.

Now this games gonna rock.
Thanks.
Is the game really laggy/choppy or is it just me?
I have a new video card shipping to me. I hope it gets here before my free trial runs out. ;p

In video options: turn off shadows, and post processing. Hopefully, that should help smooth things out.

Not trying to be rude, but I had no problems as far as performance was concerned.
Community in this game is the real deal holyfield. Never before in a game has the other people around you mattered so much. If a red is attacking some noob next to you, dont run, attack.. you just made a friend for life. If someone just died, revive them.
I remember my very first day.. I revived someone dead right at the bank. It took a while. I have no idea how to do it. That guy gave me bags filled to the brim of goodies. I was so excited I never took it out of the bank. The day I took one of those swords and mount out, it was taken within 5 minutes.
Dont fear losing anything. Its gonan be lost. Infact, as soon as you take it from the bank, it is already lost. Try to make friends. Try to get into crafting some blades and armor. Remember to stop harvesting and smell the roses. Find some guy who is swinging a pick axe and beat his fuckign brains in. Thats Darkfall.
My computers a few years old and the vid card is integrated.

disable mouse smoothenigg post processtin effects, all shadows for better fps
I think that's your issue, integrated vid cards aren't really designed for gaming I don't think. The game runs very smoothly usually.
