    As I said, there isn't much to explain, we are ONLY trying the basics of the game, there really aren't much to tell... Ask me a question and ill do my best...

     I'm not trying to trick you with the question, and I'm going to hold off on being more critical because... well, I'm really bored at work right now.

     

    You claim the server is a problem, but what ping/latency are you getting to the server, or do you know? Open up the cmd.exe on your comp and type in "ping (IP #)" without the quotes or parentheses (you may have to wait til server's up and you may not know the IP #, I guess, but if you can figure it out it'd help your case). 

    The server's most likely in athens. They're not done setting up servers throughout the rest of the world. Where are you located? My ping to athens is 200+ so playing on a server like that... ugh.

    What abilities have you at your disposal in combat

    how do you go about combat..describe the process from first sighting and all actions to kill!

    are there numerous hit boxes.

    what is AI like....elaborate, are they fighting back at all?

    Since I’m the only one who seems to of taken the bait ill ask a few more

    What’s the best thing you have seen so far

    And what the worst thing so far

    What are the sounds effects / music like

    Are the graphics and animations more or less impressive overall then the 17 min video

    Have you done anything in the 17 min video like riding on mounts, sailing ships, using cannons, big fights, sieges etc.

    Have you seen anything to do with resource gathering, hirable NPC’s or city building yet

    Is the combat fun, is it fast and furious or is it slow and clunky

    Is there location specific damage (headshots, leg shots)

    Is there collision detection

    What’s the fps view for magic and archery like, does it work well?

    How many of the 500 skills and spells have you tested

    How many items of equipment and weapons are there to test

    How long did it take you to download the client and how did you download it

    Are the testers all random or are they mostly from guilds or friends of the developers?

    Have you tested dungeons yet

    What other MMO’s you have tested does Darkfall compare to in its current state.

    Yes they are certainly fighting back... We have only been able to fight with meele weapons so far... The combat isn't as revolutionary as the devs claim, its very straight forward, you lock on to a target, and attack. It's actually very much like the DnD online fighting system...

    Lock on to a target?

    Uhm this is impossible - you can't target anyone in DF - so I guess it was a troll after all...

    because the dev's said so long time ago? maybe they changed the combat system during the 10 years they have been developing the game you know?

     

    Dont care but just saying :p and until whoever says they are in beta post screens they are liers :)

    Magstax, why dont u just open the client and take a SS? that will prove u are in beta, u dont need to wait for "another" session as u say..

     

    Open the game and take a SS of login screen or whatever.

    What’s the best thing you have seen so far the best must be all the different items, there are really an awesome number of cool weapons and armor.
    And what the worst thing so far the animations (but that might has something to do with the server)
    What are the sounds effects / music like As of right now, I have only heard one score, so that's very basic, sound effects are what you would expect...
    Are the graphics and animations more or less impressive overall then the 17 min video They are sadly very much like that
    Have you done anything in the 17 min video like riding on mounts, sailing ships, using cannons, big fights, sieges etc. no i havn't.
    Have you seen anything to do with resource gathering, hirable NPC’s or city building yet I have had a short encounter with resource gathering, but that was VERY limited (like, go press that tree and gain some logs)
    Is the combat fun, is it fast and furious or is it slow and clunky Right now, its very slow, and basic... but that might be because they havnt released all of their skills and spells yet...
    Is there location specific damage (headshots, leg shots) not what I know of, atleast not yet...
    Is there collision detection nope
    What’s the fps view for magic and archery like, does it work well? havnt been able to try magic or archery yet...
    How many of the 500 skills and spells have you tested dont know the exact number of skills, (but there are not 500). Spells havn't been released.
    How many items of equipment and weapons are there to test MANY that's all i can say :)
    How long did it take you to download the client and how did you download it it took 2 days, but my connection is pretty bad so :)
    Are the testers all random or are they mostly from guilds or friends of the developers? It's hardware specefications (as someone stated I wouldn't be able to run pacman on mine; so i must fall in the shitty computer department...)


    Have you tested dungeons yet no
    What other MMO’s you have tested does Darkfall compare to in its current state. I have tested all from early UO to WOW, but this has seems, as scary as it is, alot like Dark and light...

    Magstax can you please simply take a screen shot of the login screen, the loading screen and the files in the Darkfall directory on your computer and host it on a free site or send them to me, otherwise most people wont actually believe you myself included.

    *Edit sorry don’t want to appear rude.

    I appreciate you are offering information but what your saying would basically be proving everything I’ve been saying for years so it would just be to easy for me to accept it without proof.

    During the 4 years, they didn't bring over a combat system from their previous work. 

    You've got a 17 min. video that shows there's no lock-on, including a few first person shots. The claim that it's 150-300 ping from denmark to athens is funny, since I've got 200 ping to athens from the southeast united states. 

    150-300 ping, onboard notebook graphics with 356 RAM, he's getting 20-30 fps? 

    Ah, getting critical again. Ok, keep going.

    Make a free account on a site like imageshack or photobucket

    Upload the images

    Then copy past the link from the hosted images into your post or use the insert image button.

    Or just send them in a mail to me on this site.

  • MagstaxMagstax Member Posts: 42

    Allright here is your loading screen. but this is the reason why I didnt upload it to begin with... It looks like crap (although the pixelization is my fault, I dont know why it does that when i take a screen)... But here it is believe it or not, I have told nothing but the truth here...
