Bah, korean potspam invulnerability in this game too from the looks of the movies (pvplight.avi). Hope they realise how boring that is and put a higher timer on them.
Oh my god it looks HORRIBLE! I never thought i would see vector graphic ala c64 again!
Studdering models moving like crap, standing on top of eachother in a pile attacking a player from 0.2 cm... And who holds a halbard one handed in the bottom swinging the 4 meters over head like that?
What the hell have they been doing for 5 years? Taking those out-of-theme balloons for rides???
I thought this was gonna be advanced combat, they stand far away and hurl different looking magic balls/fuzzballs in super slow motion twice for every creature.... This is gonna flopp like Michael Jackson at a consert for grown ups!
I can say i'm disapointed by the movies. Have a lot of friends who stopped playing Lineage II to beta test this one, so i thought it'd be more exciting than Lineage but it doesn't seem to be Well, i applied for the beta test a while ago, gonna try it in a couple of weeks to c if it was improved or not. As someone already said, it's a beta test. No game started the way they r right now. But once again i must say i'm really disapointed with this DnL.
yea there's not much done in DNL at all.. hell even the sounds aren't in, no sounds in the video, besides the music and a few spell effects
horrible company, horrible product. I doubt it'll be better in april 2006 as well, they already delayed the game this year from April to November 2005, what did they accomplish during the delay? Not much at all. It's like there's one guy and a half working on the game, lame.
I'd like the game to do well, but I'm very skeptical about the whole thing, I don't see it improving all that much, combat mechanics are barely operational, they've yet to balance anything etc.. yuck..
The graphics for a MMORPG just need to reach a certain level of non suckiness in order to be acceptable. DnL meets that non suck standard. Who plays a MMORPG and focuses on the graphics after the first 5 minutes anyway?
It's all about the gameplay and immersiveness .
If you newbs are so concerned with graphics then go play WoW or Lineage 2. I hear those graphixs roxxor.
I thought I would just speak my mind on this subject. Everyone is downing Dnl for being pushed back so many times but they aren't thinking about the task at hand here. The landmass of this game is 20 times the size of WoW. Do you expect them to get done quickly?? They haven't got the huge team that blizzard had so I think you trolls should give it a rest and let them give it there best shot. The ideas behind the game are better than anything you have ever seen in mmorpg's.
As for the graphics I think they look fine. The fact that you can view for 30 miles in each direction is amazing enough. I have seen the beta in action and it has the best basics for any mmo in the market. It isn't finished and dont' expect it to be finished anytime soon. It's worth waiting for a game that actually had thought put into the ideas instead of copying the games that came before it. I sure as hell don't want to hear you trolls downing SoG when it's free and still basically a beta client.

i could take some yellow,brown,green or white bitmap and strech it over 100 times the WoW or other games size ... thing is DnL areas (atleast the ones i saw so far) look like someone shoot trees and other stuff with a gun into the area and you know ... size dosent matter ;P
about the vids ... they look really cheap ... i was never a big DnL fan but atleast i thought the gfx wouldnt be that bad

You people who think after a couple of videos some guy with a crap system has posted the graphics suck? WOW how pathetic.. il post some screens from my pc tonight and il show you the DnL graphics own anything out.
after watching quite a few of those movies, i can say i am surprised...the game looks to be a lot better than i expected. the animations are not as bad as some of you are making out to be. the armor doesnt look too great, but i can live with that. other than that the spells look pretty nice and combat isnt bad, needs a bit more speed though i think. (heh, at least there wont be too much "1 hitting", from what i can see)

What you posted is all fine and good, but the fact is, Farlan has announced dates and deadline that they could not keep. If the task is so huge, then keep quiet and work on it, don't make deadlines you cannot keep and then not even announce that it has changed or will not be met. That is what they do, and expect the people waiting to be "ok" with it. Icarus is making a huge game called Fallen Earth, They release some info, but for the most part, they are saying that they will keep quiet until they are ready. They don't go and announce false deadlines. As much as I am anticipating that game, I respect they way they are going about making it.
The fact that SoG is free is beside the point. It is the way these people are going about their business that has me seriously re-thinking this whole thing.
Yesterday, Turbine had a sign-up for their DDO stress test. They said it would start at 2:59 PM EST. I was there at 2:58, and on 2:59 sharp, the sign-up page came up. That is how you go about things, not saying something and then ignoring it. That is what Farlan/AD does.
I'm afraid this conduct will carry over into the game, if it is ever released. The actual game is what has kept me dedicated for over 2 years. Now I have lost my patience. The process of building a mmorpg should include the development time and including the community as much as possible. This isn't happening with Dark and Light.

I think I remember that guild Ebonlore from Shadowbane. Didn't their guild leader run off with a ton of money. Only to sell it on ebay?
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
they are having a stress test?
i thought the whole idea of being guildwars JR. was to avoid server stress..
