    I'm impressed with the Alfar,although mostly regards their mean-looking mount.

    Glad to see things are still on course.

    Im wondering for the first time.....they say beta many times in the update. And they say they have done internal testing for a very long time to keep the public beta to a minimum......hmm  I wonder?

    Ohh, and cool pics of the Alfar

    I want 5 of those

    300 quests seems a bit low though doesnt it? I mean unless they are planning on adding more before release...

    Very nice thanks for the link!! Its a shame this game is taking so long, it seems to be driving peeps away because of it. I havent been following it as long as a lot of people but I will definately be following it from here on out.

     

    Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there,
    80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters.
    Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior,
    and he will bring the others home.

    Its not a quest based MMO. We dont need no stinking quests to play Darkfall

    With player freedom you can do whatever you want. You dont have to hunt quest to get xp to gain levels.

    To try to do something big and survival will be the ultimate DF quest.

    Exactly. In a game without classes and levels, quests mean absolutely nothing. In fact, I'm surprised there are quests at all, let alone so many of them. What purpose do they serve, I wonder? Aside from some interesting storyline stuff, obviously.

    I am glad to hear though that the beta will not be watered down, and I certainly hope that all features will be prepared in time to make it into the beta.

    I also had to laugh at the guy commenting towards the bottom of the article's comments section, going on about how Aventurine "claims a hacker is keeping them out of beta." Just goes to show you how people can ignore what's right in front of them in favor of paranoia and denial.

    "We're not looking forward to a prolonged beta period, and we've already performed extensive internal testing in order to minimize it."

    -----------

    haha.. know why they're not looking forward to a long beta?

    1. because they are stupid and don't even begin to understand that these games NEED long betas and "internal testing" means jack.

    2. because they can't afford to support a long beta because no publisher will touch this game and pony up for the servers.

    Dark and Light v2.0 is on its way.

    When is someone going to buy these fools a clue and let them know this thing failed 3 years ago?



    WAKE UP AND SMELL REALITY

  • daarcodaarco Member UncommonPosts: 4,276

    I understand you wont like the DF gameplay.  You will need to have preseverince to play it. And why do we want a long beta?...thats for old games.

    And all games are vaporware untill beta.....thats nothing new

    lol Taxesdue is such a troll, prolly Age of Mourning fanboy. You're infringing on the copyrights of other trolls, start writing your own posts instead of copy pasting the same crap over and over again.

    I like this quote:

    "The first beta build will be very close to the full game: all races, the whole world, full gameplay, around 300 quests, countless adventure areas, hundreds of monsters, all the mounts, ships, cities, sieging, with as few limitations as possible."

    Now, I wonder if he meant as few limitations from the full game as possilbe or as few limitations on what players can do in general.

    Calling it "crap" before it has even come out; that's the definition of ignorant.  Speculate all you want that it will not come out, but you can't judge the game before it's even available.
