Bored so I went to check out the dnl forums..let the comedy begin
How do I cancel?Welcome to Hotel California...There is no escape!!!
this really has no right to even exist.
this game looks like it was made 15 years ago.
2 questions is this a scam/joke?with anyluck this will just be a joke and the real dnl will be released on the 5th
This release makes Horizons and Mourning look like top notch software.
I hate everything and everyone who even knows of this game.
Please post me the link where I cancel my subscription.
I think I'll take my preorder and give it away to someone I hate.
Level 5 mobs spawn right where new players spawn,your attacked and dead before you can even load in.
This game is worse than those free Korean MMO's...
Comments
(In a post on an intended "feature", which someone said was not very well thought out)
Can you point out anything so far that has been well thought out besides placing the headquarters on Mauritius where it would be hard for anyone to get anything back legally?
Woot one of my quotes made it up there. Yeah this game is a steaming pile. I would rather play pong than DnL.
Cons - bugged as its just been released
Pros - too many to list, but this game has the potential to be the best mmorpg ever to date.
Patching is very frequent so the server gets a rebooted from time to time.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
In that case, a server reboot schedule of once every 30 minutes--which is likely--just means we are getting cool patches. Har har! And here is a quote from a player thread called "Weapon crafting guide -- for idiots by idiots":
"Of course all of this should have been explained by the devs with a proper manual with a detailed crafting section. How do they expect this game to prosper if they leave us stumbling about in the dark."
And this from another thread:
"Ok i wanna know who they used for the Motion Capture for there highly touted Fighting animations. My guy who does one animation for melee looks like hes trying to get up off the toilet. There about as fluid as a barbie doll."
Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave
LOL

Funny and sad thing is, I lived in the USA since 1989.
Even served in my beloved USMC for 4 yrs from 1997-2001.
Also listened to "Hotel California" many a drunken nights.
But It took Lilbo to post and highlight the important facts for me to realize what teh song really means and its analogy to D&L.

freaky aint it? LOL
EDIT: Now I cant get the damn song outta my head LOL
My favourite quote is this one
I hate everything and everyone who even knows of this game.
I almost fell off my chair laughing
Weapon Crafting Guide - for idiots by idiots
okay 'fess up --- which fanbois helped the devs do this one?
Now that the forum is back up, got another one.
Entering this game for the first time is like excitedly squeezing thru the crowded front gates in a newly opened theme/fun park!!
Giddy with excitement we hop on the rides with wide grins on our faces.... only for the malfunctioning equipment to violently jump the tracks and mercilessly fling us screaming over the park walls.
that one was great too
not many fanboi quotes left to choose from though, i was hoping to find some of those
This is my favorite so far:

Interesting choice of words considering most of the people that has really been following this game from the start are either:

Aye, it aint us! If you are banned you cant post right? LOL
I only go to read. I know full well I open my mouth and reply to some of that fanboi crap I WOULD be banned in a heartbeat.
Sooo I guess you can assume those that got the game today, spent all of 30mins TRYING to play it after 4 hours of fiddling with the configurations and have already seen what a high faluting piece of flying garbage this is.
Too many !
I must admit I merely glanced at the many awful posts at the dnl site before diving in and taking the bath that I did when I actually got in the game. It was just so hard that a game could be that bad. Well, they were right. So I went a little digging futher into the threads and just about evrything there is true and had happened to me when attempting this game.
Just a few I liked:
"What you feel should be added/removed?What should be added...hmmm.
Decent artists who are not fresh
out of kindergarten would help.
Programmers who don't smoke crack on their lunch breaks"
"I had 4 mobs agro me and knowing I couldn't take all 4 with my rusty err trusty dagger and my loin cloth at lvl 35, I ran away"
"As of now, I am wishing that I had never spent $60 on a game that belongs on the $10 rack at Wal-Mart"
and of course this one:
Should I get DnL?"
Answer:
"Should I get herpes?""
Kick ass show that one, even if it's not him.
And what's the text say at the top of your sig? I can't make it all out clearly.
But yeah, back to the quotes. Is giving me a right hoot to help pass the time while I reinstall the hundreds of gigs of audio writing software on my new PC... ARRRGHHH!!!

"Hello,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunatly, we cannot do anything about this.
Regards,

plz do not compare this to other MMO's. This is a crappy game. ATi
users are getting no support or answers. For now only Nvidia users can
play. I guess when the game was in BETA there were no ATi testers
hmmm?? Plus this game just came out yet, it looks like its from 2001
with the puke grafix. Not for nothing this game will be dead in 6
months. God they don't even have distribution costs for a boxed item
yet it still costs the same as boxed games. This game ripped off a lot
of people.
YOU BEED HAD....
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
I'm really glad from reading these forums that I didn't pre-order. if it weren't for these boards, I'd likely be in the refund queue now.
and as for potential, again, that's what the beta's for, realising the potential and preparing it to be the game they promise when it's available. As it is, the graphics look awful most of the time (some of the terain reminded me of the old Vista programs on the Amiga...), and with a totally unfinished crafting system even, sounds like they couldn't have made a worse release if they'd tried.
I'll still keep an eye out, should things change over the next few months and the potential somehow be realised, but I don't hold much hope now for it, think I'll devote my time to DAoC and Guild Wars instead.
