Real PVP or carebear PVP?

Miklos

I've been following Darkfall with great interrest.

To me it seems they have an UO/EVE style of PVP and player created content in terms of politics and crafting system.

Have anyone actually tried an alpha version that can confirm this - that if you beat someone in PVP you can loot their corps etc. It's _the_ single most important feature in PVP as anything else just makes PVP boring.

i think they said that you can loot 1 item or something like that from player corpses, would suck if you lost everything if you died lol..

You can attack ANYONE, ANYWHERE, for WHATEVER REASON.  You may loot EVERYTHING from equipted items, to items in the pack.  There is no way to get LESS carebear PvP then this.

I don't know where you heard this crap, because it's been set from the beginning that DF will be an Open PvP Full Loot game.

its not going to be what you think... if people are going to play this game because they like to "grief" and "gank" people they are going to have a hard life in darkfall it seems. becuse the actions you make in darkfall detemins your allignment, meaning if you like to gank you will become evil and be k.o.s. at every major city in the world. and they have said it will be very hard to get to the allignment of good and bennifits from it that are unknown at this time. so if you think this is ganna be a huge gank fest like wow its my honest opinion you are dead wrong...

millbro

So there is a penatly for ganking ppl of your race?.. I think i get it, so you can only go all out on ppl from other alignments.. Wow is kinda the same way tho.. in that you can gank ppl from the other races and have no recorse..

Something like that, you can attack anyone you want which will alter your alignment with them and their allys negatively and posatively with their enemies. The safe-ish zones are decided from your own alignment, but the different races also hate each other in 3v2v1 form.

Basically you can make your own rules when it comes to players (you can have mixed aligned race guilds), but npcs act on your standing.

I heard that your equipped items can't be looted but everything else can. I think this was from a warcry Q&A with the lead designer, but was quite a while ago so it might have changed.
Full loot can sound daunting, but it can easily be avoided if you keep an eye out and work in a remote or friendly area. (The world is gonna be eff'in huge)
I don't think and am hoping it's not going to be a rare loot fest. Crafted items will be the best you can get, meaning they're allways there to buy if you have enough money, and since there's no equipped item loot those will be fairly safe anyway. It's just your cash, raw materials and other trades that can be seized, so the better pkers will most likely target the rich who will be guarded by their own personal npc body guards.

The game is gonna rock.

not sure if there is a penelty for killing your race but attacking anyone "unprovoked" will make you evil real quick. im asuming that means any race but not sure if say you were good and attacked an evil pc. and btw in wow your allignment is bound by race and cannot be altered no matter what you do, in darkfall that will not be the case.....

Open PvP, and losing loot when you die! DROOL AC1 Dark Tide got this right, sounds like Darkfall is gonna be one hell of a game. I've been looking into DF for a couple days now. Count me in! Carebears can keep WoW and EQ, I love mmorpgs where you can't hide from your actions. What is the time frame on this game for release? I know alot of you all have been following this for a while now, so is it coming along smoothly or has it been pushed back alot?

Thanks!

a quote from the darkfall dev's

As many of you already know, we’ve started clan beta preparations by inviting clans to register for it.

The criteria for inviting clans have been the following:

Darkfall Community involvement
We know them - and have played with or against them in the past
Reputation - or recommendation by other clans and evaluation.
There has been great interest and we've had numerous requests by clans wanting to be included. Also, there are good clans out there that we haven't been able to contact. We want to be as fair as possible so we’ll allow clans the option to apply in this second round:

If you would like to apply for participation in the Darkfall clan beta, this is the link to use: http://www.darkfallonline.com/cb/apply.php

One stipulation is that the contact email you list can be easily found on the clan website for verification purposes or it should be on the same domain (example: www.clan123.com - tasos@clan123.com). The field [Contact Email Link(!) (Location of Contact Email on your site)] on the application form is the URL of where we can find the contact information on your website.

Don’t expect an immediate response. We will review each application carefully.
For more information on the clan beta please check out the FAQ Brannoc has compiled. You should also register your guild on our forums. More information on how to do this can be found in the FAQ link above.

The fact that we’re organizing the clan beta right now does not mean that individual players will be left out. Beta testing is not limited to clans. We have been preparing for individual testers for a while. Individuals should keep their contact information on the Darkfall boards up to date and valid.

There will be plenty of opportunities to playtest Darkfall. We hope that everyone interested in the game will get a chance to playtest it before it goes live. We’ll keep you updated as needed on the Darkfall Beta."

so ya the game is in beta, not to sure when it will be released though.....
