Does that make you feel better in some way when you say it or something?
The last long video is 100% the true quality of the game. That's a fact jack. It is not going to somehow look magically different just because you login.
the screenshot slook diffrent : ) so that tell me the vid is under alot of compression
dont get me wrong the whole idea behind the game is nice and all, but the grafics are crap.. animations are allso not that good (yes i watched the best videos from sites..)
but still the game either gets realy low population since its a hardcore game and the population gets so low that the game wont even last long (money problems etc.) or they screw up the system they are planning to make. i realy hope the game works for me just to try it but i just dont see it happen game was too long in production and they didnt update the grafics and i know grafics aint everything hell i even play ragnarok/redmoon/infantry sometimes but for that to work the whole game needs to run perfectly from start even if there is 1 lil mistake the game fails horrable
LOL, graphics horrible? Do you know what good graphics are? Let me guess, world of warcraft player? My friend, that isn't great graphics if you think it is. Not really saying you think it is, just saying it could be the game you think has amazing graphics. I am going to say Requiem and Lineage 2 = real graphics. Darkfall = REAL GRAPHICS, amazing graphics.
Is surreal supposed to look like shit from 2001 too?
You do realize all you've been saying in this thread is nothing more than YOUR OPINION nothing more? It's just the way you go about stating your opinion to others as absolute fact makes you come across as very immature . Now if you changed your attitude a bit and come at the debate with less hostility, stating this is only your opinion, then people might receive you better. Believe it or not there are those that like the art style, others may find the depth of the game behind the graphics is what they find most appealing and others both.
To say the graphics are 2001 is a bit an exaggeration. Darkfall clearly uses DirectX 9. In 2001 the world was very much in the DirectX 8 era. The first directX 9 API wasn't released until Dec 2002, not many had gfx card that could support it, and the transition period for gamers upgrading does't happen over night. It wasn't until 2003/04 did we start to see the first fully dx9 games. 2005 is when dx9 truly took off as standard in games matured as an API and the gfx cards that supported it become affordable to the masses. Dx9 Shader 3.0 didn't start appearing in games until 2006 and we're still in the dx9 Shader 3.0 era and dx10 still in it's very early days.

This is why i am SOOO excited about Darkfall.
A thread that was made with a simple and clear intention...and the first post is a troll who saw the words "Darkfall" and instantly was like troll troll trooooooool.
Couldnt post his graphics comment in any of the other million threads about them, but instead had to troll a new thread that hadnt been bashed yet.
This people are so afraid of this game existing, and the community is loving it and its turning more people on to the game. Absolutly amazing lol.
OP,
Pointless thread is pointless. I dont understand why you would make this thread now when you know Nov. 10th or so will be a big day for beta invites. But that being said, it will still be pointless. You are on a forum that probably consists of .1% of official forum DF people, and then its going to be lied about and obviously since it has happened already, degrade into a flamewar.
I dont get why people make these uber intellectual threads that try to explore the psyche of the gamer. Like that thread looking to find "a correlation betwee join date and amount of skepticism about DF".
Cmon people this is a online message board for video games...get real.
and no one really does know if anyone got into beta outside of Aventurine posting that it was so.
This poll won't help solve the mystery I'm afraid, and right now I'm not sure I'd believe anything unless I was the one logging into beta today. (which I'm not).

Im clearly a DF fanboi...but also have my own reservations about the game.
I find it hard to believe that there has not been 1 report on any blog or anywhere that someone has participated in the hardware testing or playing the game. I know there is an NDA, but you would think that one person, somewhere, would have at least shouted out that he got in just to let people know that it was actually happening.

We will see soon enough.
Its because Aventurine takes all their beta testers hostage and threatens them....I know I'm one of them...and I am risking my life (I'm just kidding i'm not in beta)
Anyway I've been watching this game from afar for some time now, and yes its got good graphics and potential if it lives up to the hype but I've been let down to many times to get my hopes up for anything. My last hype was WAR and even though it was a good game it just wasn't what I was looking for in a MMO so I've been keeping an eye on DF and just waiting for some positive feedback from someone who has played it. I would like to be a part of this so called beta but I'm not gonna sit at my computer and religiously check my emails for a invite, if I get invite thats cool if not I'll play it soon enough I suppose.
Every logical person knew nothing "mass' was going to happen first thing on the 10th , or on the 10th period for that matter.
BTW, i love your chugachugachuga Troll Train effect you got your self there , fits you good i would say .
Did you read the above post?? The same guy who posted the "next phase of beta on the 10th?".. Like I said.. I'm not a troll.. I'm a realist. All of the fanbois taking dates as the word of God.. They can't see beyond the lies that Tasos spews.. So.. eh.. shut the hell up? Thanks!

I agree that people should stop misunderstanding what the dev's have said and stop taking tentative dates as a 100% that it will happen that day . Most people see what they want in a statement with a date and run with it like its a fact .
There is still zero evidence that anything that should be called "beta" even exists. Tasos' word is not evidence.
Not a single person has anonymously leaked the fact that they are in beta, which makes it the first time in gaming history.
On top of that, with the way the blind DF faithful are dying for some kind of proof that they aren't being fools, I'm certain one of them would leak it somewhere to shut up all the "trolls" who dare to use critical thinking skills.
No matter how much you want something to be true, you must face reality. The reality is these guys claim to have an MMO **ready to release in six weeks!** .... that nobody outside the company can say they've ever seen.

I would say that it is a large group of people from outside the company watching it being played live.
Sigh Blodpls you are such a sheep. That is clearly all done in CGI with maybe some robots used as well. Gah you DF cult members are getting worse everyday.

Since when is it ever against the NDA to say you're in the beta?
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

Does that make you feel better in some way when you say it or something?

the screenshot slook diffrent : ) so that tell me the vid is under alot of compression
and the cam 1 is just that CAM
Paradoxically, that would mean you tell the truth if you are lying about being a compulsive liar...
Correction: graphics are quite good, animations are crap.
