Benefit of the doubt
Development is mainly focused around testing and fixing bugs. We're also optimizing client and servers. We're playtesting a lot, we've also logged many hours of large battles and we're very excited with what we're experiencing.
While playtesting we're getting a lot of video footage that's going to end up in a video we'll be releasing next month so you'll get an idea of what we've been talking about.
The video was announced 2 months ago, he says next month we'll get it.So about 3 months of footage they have.
Will they release a comprehensive video showing people what darkfall is all about or will they throw together 2 minutes of 5 second fly bys of 40 different places that shows you next to nothing about the game?
Next month we will know for sure if these guys are trying their hardest to live up to their [in]famy or are just a bunch of clueless chumps who dont know a damn thing about MMO development.

What are the chances that in a month from now we get another update from Tasos telling us that a new gameplay video will be coming out next month?
small. I think they will stick to their promise this time, however the content of the video remains yet to be seen...
I am hoping that this turns out to be a reality.
If this game releases and delivers.....
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
If that happens then you can flush this down the shitter.
I dont know, but we have already seen alot in the other videos. But you have to watch for yourself. Noone is spelling it out for you.
If we see 200 hundred characters fighting in the next video, if only for 5 seconds....that will tell us alot. Now i dont want it to be a 5 seconds video.
I hope for a ten minute video that shown everything from character creation to respawn after death.
Something that make us all come togeather to talk about Darkfall here, except just arguing about if its vaporware or not.
Thats the least to expect. Considering they are aiming for a 2008 launch.
Hauken Stormchaser
I want pre-CU back
Station.com : We got your game
Yeah?, Well i want it back!!!
they should be ready for a 2008 launch, especially considering beta started years ago. /sarcasm off.
Honestly, I think Tasos should just come out and admit he is a f*&k up and that he doesn't have the first clue about PR.
Then he should say that he won't say anything else until he has a REAL beta announcement.
Personally I would like to see more on the different player cities that can be built, as well as the sieging stuff. Would like to see short flybys through the 4 smaller continents to see their contrast in environments as well.
I hope it's a mix of stuff.
I don't believe this is a game coming out ever. My gut has never been wrong.
I dunno man, there's been hella lot of activity lately, and no way a big company like AVE would sign ANYTHING and even THINK about setting up a new distribution business unless they had a lot of confidence in the product. That more than anything makes me feel like it's really coming out this time.
I believe this video will something special, something that people all across the mmo boards will be talking about. The date for Beta start will come within weeks of the video and it will all tie together into the buzz about Darkfall hitting new heights.
I called it, and this is how it will play out.
The thought has crossed my mind too but having been around for the 2006 near-beta I don't want to get too excited though I have to admit it really does feel like the real thing this time...
im expecting alot from this video. 15 minute video atleast heck they've had enough time.It should show char. creation, UI, Crafting, mob AI,city building,skill trees then get into the combat side of things.No more of this soon,next month stuff put up or shut up devs. We've been loyal fans reward us for that.

If you think that a game that's spent this long, with this much money in development, from a small team with finite resources, that just signed a publishing deal, isn't going to come out, then you need to find help.
Darkfall Travelogues!
What in gods name are blabbering about?
So you're saying just because they developed forever and don't have much resources that proves the game will come out? That's just wishful thinking.
And even if that were the case. They could at this point simply be kicking a turd out the door to try and get back some of their money. It's been done with SB and plenty of other lesser profile games.
I'am 99% sure this thing will fail hardcore. All the signs are just there. The odds of it succeeding are almost zero at this point.
They don't even have a publisher , or Beta date , or anything really , 5 months to a launch.
I said the same thing about Dark and Light a year before it "came out". Of course none of the morons who followed it would listen... just like with Darkfall.
Funny that everyone who followed DnL to the grave moved on to Darkfall for a second round of disappointment. LOL
Mark my words. This game will turn out to be a big steaming load if it's ever actually put on public display that is.
Darkfall keep making promises they don't keep. No one ever hold them accountable for it. They promised beta for years and never has any problems waiting half a year and then announcing it will come soon, again.
The game is a hoax. There are no videos of a real working, fully functional game engine. Why? Because the game doesn't exist.

What I'm blabbering about is that no matter what state this game is in, it will come out. Even if its a collosal failure its going to be released, because they have to try to make SOME money back.

That's ... an abysmal way (and might be true) way of looking at it.

Rofl and I agree, Arcken.
I'm not saying the game isn't going to release at all, but late and not very polished. Just think of it this way guys. Do you think Darkfall is going to be more successful than AoC? If you answered no, just imagine that outcome.
If you answered yes, where did all of the sudden fans come from? And the game features yet to be seen.

These guys are developing a MMO, not playing a being legal eagles over every last word they spout. Small Indie developer with good concepts and code but not enough hours in the day. Priorities change and as such best to leave them to it, you can all hype your own expectations but until an official Beta or more community involvement is required then this is pretty much irrelevant. On top of that there is no community here so as such this won't be a starting point for DF enlightenment.

Big assumption, they don't necessarily have to make anything. They have played with what they like to play with developed , they will be dissapointed if their work does not come to fruition for the public to play but for people without money and woorking towards a vision you may find that money is not a key issue here. If it was they would not be persisting on a shoestring of a budget!!!

They don't make promises, they just make updates and trolls turn them into promises.
It's just a game under development, and no amount of crying and trolling will speed it up nor slow it down. They talked about going to beta, then specifically retracted to expand/improve the game even more.
There are plenty of videos and screenshots around to show off the majority of the game, it's absurd to say otherwise. some people are getting confused about the videos cause the game is mostly first-person, which they aren't used to, some they think it's not real gameplay. it is.
fact is, the game is clearly in the testing phase, and is making all the preparation necessary for release. good games take time, great games take even longer, get over it.
if you want to see what a rushed conveyor-belt game looks like, go play Age of Conan while you wait for Darkfall.

A bit off topic, but... What I find amazing is all these "new" defenders of DF. I mean there has to at least a half dozen of these people making accounts within the last couple of weeks. I mean what the heck is going on here?
Seems a bit odd to me.
Its only one person doing it, and its very sloppy work, its so obvious and blatant, either the person doing it is not very smart or their just desperate and ignorant about how they appear.
The person is even talking to themselves, and carrying on a conversation between their previous accounts in their own sticky, and this is the person who accused me of being sad, pathetic and wasting my time / life with one of their accounts recently.
Now he’s even nonchalantly picking up and continuing arguments / debates with his current account that he started with previous accounts.

You mean like... Trollbait... Account created 7/21/08.
Or, the many accounts and user names of Downtoearth... There are others.
He thinks we will all believe that a person who's NEVER registered at this site, would just happen to create an account AND start PREACHING about Darkfall as if he's been following it for years BUT never posted before.
Yes.. That's perfectly believable.
