Why rush out a Journal when you can take your time after your vacation.
You can't honestly believe the dev journals they release took them any decent amount of time to write....
This guy makes a good point here.
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981

It seems to be the foundation of what Darkfall Online is built upon. Not only do it's developers show it , but most of it's fanbase has it too... it's like a disease over there or something.
Why rush out a Journal when you can take your time after your vacation. What do you do for a living because you seem to have no idea how a real job works.
Before I leave on Vacation I make sure to put all my ducks in a row and get ready for when I return. I am a Systems Admin for a medium size company. When I return I catch up on anything that changed and then I start working from were I left off. I dont hurry up and rush something out because I am going to be on Vacation, I set everything I need up for when I get back.
Seems like you dont understand what common sense is.
The guy is just a paid Troll/Wind Up merchant. They are all just wound up because DF just get on with their jobs and ignore the lame attempts for the "paid enemy to sow discord" which theyy can't do because no one feeds them... Troll=Forum variant of a griefer just laugh and they will go away.
They can't take peoples beliefs away which is what annoys' them so much. Amusing

So you would take time out of your Vacation to wirte a Dev Journal? That is stupied. Wait till your done with family time to worry about work again. Again why do they have to do any PR until the game is DONE. I dont understand that logic? Basicly why do they have to tell you anything at all? What makes you think they dont care about this project? Because they dont hype it? Remember Vanguard and all there Hype? What did that get them.
That is a rather foolish statement. Vanguard had a huge pre-game fanbase and had a bunch of people buy the game. The hype isn't even close to the reason that the game failed, it was due to the fact that the game sucked. If anything, the hype let them get a bit of cash before people realized it sucked :P
Point is, a hype can never hurt the game. If anything it helps, so they make money. It is important to let people know about your game, and Darkfall just makes it seem that it is not a big deal.
The hype believe it or not got this game rushed out the door. Because of all the hype players bought an unfinish game. I was part of that fan based because I was hoping for another EQ1 game. The hype helped get the game released sooner then it should have.
Without Hype not as many players would have gotten ripped off by Vanguard.
The reason the game was released sooner was because they had financial problems. The hype did not help them hold the game off, but still, it is not the hype's fault the game sucks. The fact that Vanguard isn't even good has nothing to do with the hype.
I see wat you are getting at, since people were surprised that the game wasn't as good as they thought. That does not take away from the fact that the game wasn't good.
The fact that the game was released early did more damage than the hype.

Why would Greek Easter (Apr 27th) impede Tasos ability to write a journal for Apr 25th? Would love to hear that one explained. It would make sense if he was talking about the May 2nd journal. Unless there is some time/space fracture Aventurine is working on and adding to the "feature" list in the coming months.
April 25th is good friday
You seem me clueless about greek orthodox eastern and Athens. Athens is deserted for several days cause people leave for area of origin and visit their family.
So are you implying that Tasos waits until the last minute to write the dev journals he releases?
That would not really surprise me, but most companies would want time to review a journal before release. Most companies would have the journal written several days before it is due and in a situation like this would release it a day early. Also Aventurine is made up of people from many different cultures not just Greek and it would be silly to assume that everyone would have that entire weekend off when according to Tasos they have an impossible amount of work to do.
So once again why could they not release a journal that should have been done days before good friday, emailed by someone not a Greek Orthodox, within a company that was staffed most likely on that Thursday by SOME people?
As to the whole feature complete does not mean game completed. The game was feature complete in august of last year with a full beta build. So you are telling me that 9 months later they are even more swamped?
I am using common sense and what Tasos writes never makes much sense. The ironic thing about all of this is that I see new faces every few months, but the old cheerleaders for this game tend to fade away after a year or so. I wonder how many of the current fanboys in this forum will still be here by the end of the year if DF still is not in beta?

Well I have been watching Darkfall for a few years now so I am not going anywhere.
I have nothing to lose if I wait for Darkfall, it cost me no money to wait for Darkfall, guess what it doesnt even cost me time because I am playing other games while I wait.
I wait for Darkfall because I choose to believe that a Gaming Company can bring back the heart and soul of MMORPGs and make a game for the Community not to line their pockets with cash. Yes of couse they think about Money, it would be stupied if they did not.
If Darkfall releases and it has everything they say it will then Stand up and take notice how many other "main" stream game companies start taking steps in to unexplored realms. They will start to make MMORPGs of every type for all the Millions upon Millions of different players. What WoW did was Good and bad for the industry. The Good is it put a huge spot light on the Genre and the Bad is now every dick tom and jerry Game company is trying to make the NEXT WoW, plain and simple, their will never be another game like WoW ever, well you should never say never but understand that most game companies can make a good profit from 600,000 to 1,000,000 subs.
I am waiting on other Indie games too CoS comes to mind. I am all for changing the genre because right now the MMORPG industry is just stuck in the mud. The Industry needs change, it needs an Indie company to show the big dogs that something different can make money as well. That is all the big Companies want is Money.
Atleast the Darkfall Development Team is trying something different, maybe it will fail or mabye it will be successful. WE ALL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. I for one hope it is successful and it helps move the MMORPG industy forward.
Sorry that is just my train of though, maybe I am nuts, maybe some of you bashers are right and I dont know what I am talking about and I have no common sense.

Tdogskal,
I agree with everything you said and I think you are missing my point. I WANT DF to succeed. I love the concept of DF and what they are trying to do with it. What I am tired of is the BS that comes out of Aventurine. Honestly, an info blackout until beta would be the best thing at this point.
I do not trust anything that Tasos says anymore. He has been talking beta since 2004. After the same song and dance for 4 years it gets old. To make matters worse, you get doe eyed followers that just found the game holding pom poms and aggressively attacking anyone who does not buy 200% into what is being fed to the public.
My greatest hope for DF is that they deliver 50% of what they have listed and the game is stable. Thinking DF is the next coming of the messiah is not rational. Anyone new to this game would get their hopes built so high that there is no way Aventurine could deliver on that. I really hate Tasos's attitude and that drives most of my posts. Even though I repeatedly say I want this game to succeed it is nothing but personal attacks and militant behavior by the core fan base because I do not lick Tasos boots.
I would not be on these boards if I did not care about DF. AoC and WAR hold no allure for me. What I am left with is a bunch of "IFs", a game company that talks big, and a fan base that very easily could be as violent as they are stupid. Not a lot to work with or hope for from my point of view. Can you understand that?
-Atziluth-
- Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
Yea I can understand it but can you understand my position for defending Darkfall. Why sometimes it may come off as personal attacks is because I feel like I am getting attack and it is just nature to defend myself.
I dont see why its a big deal that I choose to believe that Tasos is not lieing to use and they are ready for a beta and are currently in a beta of sorts.
I just think because of the sheer nature of testing a game with out limits they run into unexpected issues/bugs that set them back that they know they can fix and dont need to tell the player base,
I feel that anything that Tasos tells us about Darkfall is great because he owns the community nothing, they are making this game because they want to play a game like Darkfall not to be come rich. I know they think about that but seriously I believe this project started out more as a hobby and turned into a reall MMO and the Development team is still trying to catch up.
Originally posted by TdogSkal I feel that anything that Tasos tells us about Darkfall is great because he owns the community nothing,
You put up public forums , to build a community , and tell people to go out and "spread the word" about your product , than you owe something.
Unless taking and giving nothing in return is all they are good for?
How does he own me anything at all? I have not paid him, he has not required me to go around posting. I choose to follow the game and defend it. Tasos or any other Developer team owns me nothing until I pay them for something. How do you not understand that concept?
Does the Car dealership down the road owe you anything because you go around spreading the word about the great new car they have on the lot?
Does the Car dealership down the road owe you anything because you go around spreading the word about the great new car they have on the lot?
Yes when they specifically ask me to do it
What if a car dealer told me that they are going to get a car in next month that is 10 times better than any other car out there? So I come in a month later, and theres no car. So hes says it'll be in soon. So I keep checking back over and over for the next 5 years, and the car is never there.
So I say, "well since you have been jerking me around for the last 5 years, can you at least show me some proof that the car has all the features you said?" And the guy says no.

i am implying that they show the pattern dev journals releaseday= friday, unfortunately this friday is good friday , nothing more .
Sure the could attempt to change the pattern and realease on thursday but why do that ? all greece is celebrating easter and the holy week and preparations for easter started already at monday.
The time now i am writing this at least 3/4 of Athens population is away.
To give you a taste of greek eastern , it is independence day , thanksgiving, eastern and xmas in one.

I think I'd tell this guy to kiss my ass
They never asked me to spread the word about Darkfall. I never got that Memo.
Well your missing something in your example back to me.
So I say "Well since you have been jerking me around for the last 5 years, can you at least show me some proof that the car has all the features you said?"
The guy would show you a ton of pictures, a few video's of the car in action, and some blogs by the Engineers about the car.
That is basicly what Darkfall has done. They have showed us tons of screenshots, some video's and Development Journals.
Again if the screenshots and videos and journals are not enough for you then the door is that way, dont let it hit you on the way out. Nobody is twisting your arm to follow Darkfall.
Why rush out a Journal when you can take your time after your vacation. What do you do for a living because you seem to have no idea how a real job works.
Before I leave on Vacation I make sure to put all my ducks in a row and get ready for when I return. I am a Systems Admin for a medium size company. When I return I catch up on anything that changed and then I start working from were I left off. I dont hurry up and rush something out because I am going to be on Vacation, I set everything I need up for when I get back. Seems like you dont understand what common sense is.
hehe...thats funny because in my "real" job...I work on easter. Not trying to get under your skin or anything, just pointing out that some of us have different views on "real" jobs.
And yeah, they probably took easter and a few other days of to celebrate. I don't blame them for not writing a journal.
It's a proven historical fact that beer saved humankind.
Hey let me ask somethign as i heard about Darkfall years ago.
Some say thats they developing the game like for 7 years, from the screenshots i have seen the engine seems outdated and the grafix lets say lame... Can anyone knows what engine the using? and some info on that ? Also the developers are Greek? Im Greek can u tell me where they have offices in Greece? Regards to Darkfall community.
They build a custom engine. Graphics are being polished as far as we are told.
The Developers are not only greek but they do work in Athens, Greece. So of the Developers are American

You still failed to address the fact that many of the developers are not Greek Orthadox. The company with so much work probably does not give the whole week off. The simple fact is Tasos has nothing new to say so he is making excuses for not posting a dev journal.
Notice how the journals have progressed from talking about progress to giving vague answers to community questions?

It doesn't matter if the some of the development team are not Greek Orthodox; their Good Friday and Easter Monday are still national public holidays, i.e. no one goes to work.
The update is next friday. Brannoc wrote it today on the official DF forum. But i hope they are making a nice video for us. Showing girls and the beaches of Thailand, i would like to go there now. Anyway...i would be glad.

What if a car dealer told me that they are going to get a car in next month that is 10 times better than any other car out there? So I come in a month later, and theres no car. So hes says it'll be in soon. So I keep checking back over and over for the next 5 years, and the car is never there.
So I say, "well since you have been jerking me around for the last 5 years, can you at least show me some proof that the car has all the features you said?" And the guy says no.
I think I'd tell this guy to kiss my ass
They never asked me to spread the word about Darkfall. I never got that Memo.Well your missing something in your example back to me.

The guy would show you a ton of pictures, a few video's of the car in action, and some blogs by the Engineers about the car.
That is basicly what Darkfall has done. They have showed us tons of screenshots, some video's and Development Journals.
Again if the screenshots and videos and journals are not enough for you then the door is that way, dont let it hit you on the way out. Nobody is twisting your arm to follow Darkfall.
Sooner or Later
Their videos would translate into a car with a frame , an untested engine , and no tires...
hehe...thats funny because in my "real" job...I work on easter. Not trying to get under your skin or anything, just pointing out that some of us have different views on "real" jobs.
And yeah, they probably took easter and a few other days of to celebrate. I don't blame them for not writing a journal.
It's a proven historical fact that beer saved humankind.
They build a custom engine. Graphics are being polished as far as we are told.
The Developers are not only greek but they do work in Athens, Greece. So of the Developers are American
Sooner or Later
Have you seen the combat video's?Their videos would translate into a car with a frame , an untested engine , and no tires...
It would be like showing a Car driving down a test track vs a real road but not a half done car... Please try again.
Sooner or Later
Notice how the journals have progressed from talking about progress to giving vague answers to community questions?

It doesn't matter if the some of the development team are not Greek Orthodox; their Good Friday and Easter Monday are still national public holidays, i.e. no one goes to work.
Nooooo!
The update is next friday. Brannoc wrote it today on the official DF forum. But i hope they are making a nice video for us. Showing girls and the beaches of Thailand, i would like to go there now. Anyway...i would be glad.
