"We understand that it may be frustrating for those waiting to play the game to not be given an indication on when, but since there are still several factors affecting this, some of which are external to us, we would rather not make a guess. "
They seem to be going back on their summer beta plans. Now they are saying they couldn't even guess at a beta date.
Their saying that they have some important factors to decide(such as publishers) and making a guess it could be very wrong. When i think of them discussing the publisher it makes me think of SRS/SCS debates and if so this could take a while.
O comeon, not again! Now I will stop following this game hardcore and go to...uh....... WAR/Vanguard (they're patching up the game
). Cya in about a year or 2.

wow what a surprise
i think if they wait too mcuh longer the graphics will look so outdated not many people will paly..
the ideas behind this game sound so good and I will be really hyped about it if they make the game like they say they will
To most players graphics arent a major issue, I mean as long as the gift is great who cares how its wrapped. Players came to this game seeking full loot and open PVP. Not carebear graphics, dont get me wrong id love to see sun light flash off detailed armor, but it wont be the dealbreaker in playing this mmo.
There are so many other masterpieces in the MMO world if you want amazing graphics......Lineage2, Sword of the new world.....
/sarcasm
"Another issue to consider, which we've talked about before, is the timing for the beta testing; things like costs in time, equipment, and support personnel need to be carefully considered in order for the test to be successful and useful. "
I have an idea. Why don't they go use their 20 million dollar loan that all the fanboys swear they have to cover those costs. what a joke.

Blizzard announced a new expansion for WoW, which will allow more intense PVP/Guild vs. Guild combat, including destructable buildings and seige warfare... Oh - and they put out a ton of video content for it, and listed a ton of the new features.
In essence, crushing Darkfall's chance at being unique.

good night darkfall.
Are you really this stupid?? Do you really think WoW will have anything that even remotely feels like Darkfall?!
We've had all sorts of trolls here, but you my friend definately take the cake, you've proven not to only be a moron of the month who knows nothing of the things you discuss here, and now you also reveal you don't know first thing about the game you for some reason feel the need to bash on.
Do yourself a favor and stop embarassing yourself here
"and now you also reveal you don't know first thing about the game "
what game? Have you played this game? I haven't. Or are you (like every other foolish person who hypes this mess) just beating themselves off to some ideas they have read on their website?
I know that its been in development for 6 years and has absolutely nothing to show for it other than a website with a list of ideas. So who's the real "moron" here?

good night darkfall. you snooze eventually someone will fill your spot and you lose.
Why are you acting like destructable buildings and seige warfare are unique? I put a game with those features to rest years ago(Shadowbane). There's nothing original there. Tidalbunny you are apparently a WoW junkie and in my opinion an MMORPG NOOB(hate to use the word but it fits). If you're not interested in Darkfall then get out of the Darkfall forums, they have done you no harm.
P.S. Stop using large text, it just makes you look like a flaming child.
"P.S. Stop using large text"
uhm no. If they did not want people to use large text then they wouldn't have included it as a feature on the boards.
Honestly, I do value other peoples opinion, even if they differ from mine, but ignorant idiots spamming their mouth about things obviously too complex for them to understand is something that just ticks me off. You're like a supermodel of that sub-human race.
Doesent all know you are not supposed to speak about DF and WoW in the same sentance? But what have skill based, full PvP, full loot, real time combat with WoW to do?????
I remember when WoW were just vaporware on the www.
Well it seems that this forum is turning into as much of a battle ground as forumfall. Please people Stop this sensless fighting " Can't you see its tearing us apart!
"
Yeah!
I was hoping this thread would be about the Update #12. But it turned out to be another one about beta whining.
Don't lissen to tidalbunny, he is just a kid doing new profiles to flame Darkfall. He is a true WoW fanboi and hate all the other games out there.
OT: Does updates are great, good to know what they doing and were they stand in the development. And about the gfx talk, they have said that gfx are not a prior at this time, they will put an real effort when the game is out.

And if they're put more effort MMORPG.com can create a 'Team Sceptic'
and send them to the Special Olympus.
The day AoC and WoW dear to implement "true" corpse looting, I will revisit your post. Until then, have fun in WoW. I hear you can level to 80 now. It must be a coincidence that AoC has that out from the box

Some intreresting tidbits there. I personally hope they will publish the game themselves. No SoE or EA to influence the game in a bad way. It was pretty evil of Tasos of linking us up to a japanese site without an english translation though. This is the babelfish translation
Being able to cut friend without pardon, the PvP specialization type MMORPG "Darkfall Online" which can take also the item from the partner whom it defeats
* The PvP specialization type MMORPG whose action characteristic is high
According to ?????, the next generation MMORPG "the element of another genre is added to MMORPG, with the thing which increases the pleasure of the prayer", with this work the element of the action game has joined mainly.
When attacking the enemy, it is necessary to decide the aim by your, the enemy and friendly regardless of attack hits tothe character inside the attack range,(there are also times when recovery magic is effective in the enemy). When it fights with the companion together, you inserting the attack range of your own weapon in consideration, you must unite formation well.
Also the movement such as jumping and squatting is possible, applying attack avoiding degree of dependence to the arm of the prayer is high. When with the bow and arrow and the like it attacks from long distance and necessary with prayer itself the aim to attach it is, (in magic some which automatically undertake, it is). When the stick (equipping you use) and the bow in permanent residence of magic, first person, in case of the weapon for human bullet game such as the sword and the ax it is the specification where the point of view which is in the midst of fighting third person and, with the weapon which has been equipped changes.
In addition, it can fight with this work even in a state where it rides in the animal and the like. When it fights with the partner who is walking the ground in the state, it seems that attack of the partner reaches and the ? and others applies, when riding in the animal just, can use the skill which can be moved and/or with, can fight rather profitably.
There is also an element of sea fight, it can fight with the prayer character which rode in the boat. No passenger, it has not become clear, but, the plural prayer characters board to the boat, as for the lowest one person as) with said, role allotment become necessary e.g., steering, the one person attack (shoots the cannon. Speaking conversely, when it is riding in the boat alone, while moving, attack is the case that it is impossible. According to ?????, there is an element which is not released yet in regard to battle fully, the vehicle field type is prepared to in addition to seems.
The damage of attack changes with the guard of ability and the weapon and the partner of the character, the effect of magic changes with the tolerance value of the character which is received. The action element is strong in regard to battle but, the character which grew so between the character which is not, in just the arm it seems that the difference which is not buried appears.
However, such when that alignment keeps getting near to Evil, repeatedly the character which does, keeps finally it becomes Evil. As for the character which becomes Evil, red sign is attached on the picture, the town which is inserted and the place etc. where shopping is possible are restricted. In addition, it means that the place where it revives when it is pushed down, is modified to the Evil character private area.
In just MMORPG where PvP is pushed out to the front, with this the air which becomes everyone Evil does, but, when the character which has belonged to the guild which is different and the character of the race who is different are pushed down, as for the alignment you say that it does not become Evil. By the way, also reaction of the monster changes with the alignment.
As for the race whom you can play with Darkfall, 6 types, Elf, Dwarf, Human, Mahirim, Ork and Alfar. 2 races of Mahirim and Ork which as for 3 races of Elf, Dwarf and Human is mutually cooperative relationship, similarly is cooperative relationship it has been opposed. And as for Alfar, the race of the harsh standpoint that it is are all races and relationship of opposition.
With Darkfall, also the character of the race who the counter is to regard changes, being to be able to belong to the same guild, the prayer depending, as for the partner who should fight. The partner who should fight beforehand (the race) has been decided,"Warhammer Online: It seems thatthat differs from Age of Reckoning "and so on.
There is a territory in each guild, can construct the town and the house there. This town being to be times when it is attacked to the other guild, becomes necessary employing the guard of NPC. Other than the house which is owned in the guild, the house can be owned with each character, but, this by his one for time of absence/offline, seems that the guard of NPC becomes necessary.
According to ?????, the item and the territory are protected from the other prayer/the guild,/it plunders, you say that is largest purpose of this work, is the big pleasure.
Furthermore, according to ?????, when already in Japan story concerning development has been offered from Japanese ??????, is. Being to be being, perhaps desire even in Japanese edition production thinks but), that (also lip service is included, the day when we convey the news, Japanese debut of Darkfall comes, once upon a time.
Before at present stage, it hits in Japan whether or not, it consists as MMORPG whether or not is, you can say that the extent which becomes worry, it is the specification which becomes pointed rather. Above striking out PvP on the front, a certain semantic balance is life, but, as for this work spot is applied by the fighting over of the territory by the guild, degree of dependence to the prayer is high, management side/development side controls balance and it probably is the ? leprosy. We would like to observe whether how it collects in the future via the test which is done, this work as MMORPG. (Noguchi)

Back on topic.... yes, it does seem that they are hedging their bets about a beta, mostly due to the fact they are considering teaming up with a publisher (this is new) and said partner might have their own ideas for beta testing/marketing.
I wouldn't count on much of a beta this summer.
It sounds like they are hard at work, and ramping up to do proper testing and content review.
Is the game real? I dunno, but they talk a good game.
Someday I hope DF comes out.... would be interesting to see the result.

I agree I personally am going to wait and see, but I'm not holding my breath, if something new comes out that's better than CoX I'll play that for awhile before going onto Darkfall Online, It does look interesting, but in all honesty I think the Firefly MMORPG that's in development will be out before Darkfall itself comes out though that could be just speculation...... Ah well.... Guess I'll have to deal with another eventless year of MMORPG gaming if beta doesn't come out this summer like they said it should.
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.
The day AoC and WoW dear to implement "true" corpse looting, I will revisit your post. Until then, have fun in WoW. I hear you can level to 80 now. It must be a coincidence that AoC has that out from the box
What a coincidence =/ , if anyone has been following WoW, they claim to have more subs then ever, now it seems clearer then ever that they are losing them, because if they where gaining, why would they be hard on themselves and release something that has to do with PvP? No, they would release another TBC. To the irrational fanboy, I am sorry your game is losing subs to newer games, have fun playing with gold farmer #384.P.S , anyone who comes into another forum to talk crap about it is an ignorant excuse for life, Darkfall may come out, it may not, if it does, it SHOULD be a great game, it may suck, the ideas are great, but no person on this website can say 'Darkfall is a terrible game' or 'Darkfall is the best game ever' ....... if it doesn't ever come out, yes alot of people will be angry/depressed for wasting X amount of years of there life following the games progress, but at the very least, they showed that people would support a game like darkfall, that fans really want devs to let the players shape the world, not have it shaped for us.
Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.

hmm, many good posts in a row.....is something happening to the DF forum?
I cant wait for the next update.
Yeah, WoW is REAL unique with seige combat. They didn't copy Shadowbane, DAoC, or AoC to do that. Get real.
They know the threat that these truely unique MMOs (like Darkfall and AoC) provide and many people are sick of WoW.
Darkfall's graphics are a little bit better than WoWs and what they provide in innovation and uniqueness in the MMORPG genre is LIGHTYEARS beyond what WoW has ever done. Innovation ftw.
