I was a AC fanboy and a UO fanatic.. I have no respect for you if you claim you have pvp skills but never played either of these games.. but more on topic ish, ok look i dont know about you but I've read alot about this new Darkfall game.. i've heard about it for years.. but i just felt like bringing it up because I figure the more i hype it up (btw: im suprized its not
#1 on the hype meter for MMORPG.. but thats another thread.. or atleast
#2 to WAR.) the more people will play.. thus more people to pwnzorize. With that said.. Darkfall will be the harbinger of everything that is good and right in a pvp game.. minus the sticky melee and rediculous targeting systems, plus you get the ability to push people??? (collision detection FTW)
Omg be ready to be embarassed during melee combat when someone pushs you instead of laying that final blow.. and this talk about knockback?! fireballs literally blowing you off cliffs? in this game.. true skill will reign supreme.. darkfall =

Oh no! I have never played AC or UO, that means you don't respect me! Excuse me while I go kill myself in fretful night of tears and alcohol.
Alright I'm done.
Anyways, DarkFall is nothing more than vaporware as far as I am concerned. Seriously the game has been in development for the better part of a decade, and I seriously doubt it will ever come to pass. Even if it does, being an indy game that it is, it will be open to so many exploits that those "l33t pwn" skills you claim will be wasted. PvP is generally an afterthought in MMORPGs for a reason. That being people.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that I don't respect people who haven't played UO or AC but I will admit that you missed some of the best PvP that I have EVER witnessed. I played UO a few months after it retailed to mid 2000. It was a blast. For the people who have never played a full loot PvP game its hard to describe. I honestly believe that games with full loot have spoiled me to the point where I can't stand some of the more recent games that have no penalty for death.
As for Darkfall being Vaporware I would advise you to actually follow it a bit. They may not update here very often but updates are posted quite regularly on other websites (usually every other Friday). I can live with waiting longer for a better quality game to be released rather than have them pump out some cookie cutter piece of trash game that seems to be all too common today.
PvP may be the focus of Darkfall but in all actuality it is the crafters that will make the game what it is. EVERYTHING is dependant on them. You are going to need them to build your cities defenses, make armor and weapons for the guild and to even start a siege. If they decide to make only one character per server I believe this will put even more pressure on the reliance of crafters.
A games community is what makes or breaks ANY game. You can have a great game but if the community is terrible it will flop. When this game is released I pray that the community is great. That will be what decides if Darkfall is a successful or not.
Darkfall is will be the messiah of crushed hopes.

You know a couple of the reasons pvp was so good in UO and AC, they had collision avoidence and looting. If you don't have both of these your pvp is going to bland if not boring.
This game has been vaporware for so long, that I have extreme doubts it will ever get published.

How you sit behind that computer and just move the mouse around, killing people in battles that for 70% are based on numbers, man, biggest respect man. seriously
Oh sorry did I forget that part? Here, I'll even phrase it so you can read it:
OH Manz! I have teh L33tzzz PVPs skillz! I am teh pwnzers! Everybody else is nwebs to me! I'm l33t h4rdcore!!!one! I never touched AC or UO beforez! But I still am teh rockzorz! L33t!!!!one!!1
How the hell can anybody take themselves serious when they actually use words like this?

Lol.. sighs are a sign of realization or relief.. if played AC you sighed alot.. i think thats where i get it from..
I thought the AC2 players were the ones who really sighed...
I understand what you meen,.but you cant be bias..
I started on UO and AO,.yes there was lots of risk and the pvp was a intence bloodrush in UO.took lots of hand eye and skill with the mouse and interface to be good,.same as a FPS,.Skill builds allso made a impact.UO was great,.But I fear that your wrong if you think players now are not devloping good skills on there key board and ingame.
Try eve-online if you think the way you do,.as far as freedom and greifing pking what ever,.it can be done there,.and yes it has a nice set of skills to choose from,.350 infact,. No one has the same build,.and yes you will drop all your loot when your killed.The only game to ever give me back that fear UO gave me back in the day.Think this pvp is softcore? you didnt try it then.Eve players would put you to shame,.the only thing you and me and other vets learnd from games like UO is how to prevent and plan for ganks or getting ripped off.
It is the fear and risk your talking about? right? And the fact that UO made you lick your wounds and suck it up time after time,.Made you strong right? well eve will make you feel the same way,.
Hello Suberman,
I have played UO for years and hey, I was a PK hunter. Yep, I enjoyed killing all the l33t dUdezz like Us who I pawnz Us all. One slap on the face and they were all crying like babies.
To enjoy PvP because there's nothing like facing a human oponent than an idiotic AI is one thing but to have such behavior like yours is different. It's a game after all. People like you destroyed the pvp in games making it totally be pushed in the background, leading us to a decade of mostly pve games. :-/
Anyways...
See you in.....Darkfall
Features not included that attracted a rabid fanbase and hollow promises only to find out that it was released early after a half assed open beta.
Sound familiar?
It could sound like any newly released mmo in its 1st year.I predict that the next 5 mmo's that people are looking forward to will be dissapointments.People have high expectations upon release and mmo's a;ways dissapoint because the devs have to release to make money to really flesh out the game in it's 1st year.
What is your physical limit?
I pretty much agree with you.
Ive had my share of MMOPG's but none comes close to what darkfall will bring (Cept UO, but that was 2d). PvP system will be based on skill. Open PvP, ships, seiges, collistion detection, decent graphics, player made content... :O-------
Id never look at another MMO if darkfall brings what it promises.
All my hopes rest with DF. It reads like the next gen of UO (1998).
Sandbox + awesome crafting/community + full corpse looting = my game
Edit: Development didn't begin until 2003. Updates are being regularly provided so it appears far from Vapourware.
''98-''99 UO (Golden days!)
''00-''02 CS; SB beta

Waiting for Darkfall and PoBS
