Darkfall so special, why?
Its funny to me how so many people are eagerly waiting for this game thinking it will be something huge, a real pvp game, skills etc.. etc..yet
All people saw about this game were couple of really lousy gameplay if you could even call it gameplay videos, animations look terrible totaly robotic, 100 of spells, none knows anything about those spells or how good gameplay they produce, none knows anything worthy about the game yet and the game is overhyped on this website so i really wonder why are you so fucked up about this game because i am cool as a beer waiting to see what will come up from this, dont epect anything nor i would ever hype this game on mmorpg.com, why you expect this game will be great? I am really curious
Comments
dunno, guess it's just the potential to be great if it can deliver on it's features.
Im not sure where you are getting your "overhyped" from. The only hype that darkfall is getting is from the darkfall forums itself, but why wouldn't we be talking about darkfall here?
I myself am not expecting this game to be something huge. Im looking for a game that will keep me interested for a long period of time and this is what I think Darkfall will do.
I think the majority of the people who think we think this game is the greatest thing since sliced bread are the trolls you see posting in here every minute. If it wasn't for them, this forum wouldn't be very active.
I don't expect anything from mmorpgs anymore and had given up on the genre alltogether if I hadn't found out about Darkfall.
I do hope that they will be able to release a game with the promised features (or at least the ones I find important) because it will offer more freedom for the individual player that the load of liniar get-to-max-lvl-as-fast-as-possible-(preferable soloing)-so-you-can-do-raid-content-and-then-wait-for-expansion mmorgps that seems to be the standard these days.
Darkfall isnt special. Its just a sandbox MMORPG. When i thinks about it, its a real MMORPG. Not one of those "single player online" things we mostle see nowdays.
And 90% of all MMO players today dont even know what the hell sandbox is! Thats what makes it.... special.
It is the most free world Sandbox MMO. You are not locked into one specific class, but you can be proficient in all forms of combat, while some will be better in specifics because of being a "Prestige" class. You are not forced anywhere, and your character isn't told that he can only do this and not that simply because you enjoy a certain aspect of combat over another. It doesn't mean you don't want to experience the other aspects, just that you would rather be more proficient in another.

Isn't sandbox a mission to get to level 10 and enter the tier 2 map ? with bigger monsters to beat ? and better loot ?
However if i reach endgame i will own the noobs in starting area lol will have max level and best loot from instance raids..

I think you nailed every feature that a sanbox dont have : )
Sarcasm detected.
This.
Although, I disagree slightly with your post. There are MMOs that are "theme park" that are still very much not a single player game. DDO, while soloable, is really only playable with a group. EQ was infamous for being brutal to the lone wolf.
What I would like is something somewhere in between. I love the story of a theme based MMO, but I like the skill based system of sandboxes.
I will end with what I end all my DF posts with, none of us know what's in store, but I really hope the deliever as promised.
Freedom, thats why.
Yeah, you are right there are some really good "themepark" MMOs, regardiung grouping and so on. I was mostly referring to the ongoing trend from developers promising us that we can solo thier game.

He's getting "overhyped" from teh same place everyone else is.
You can't go on any forum about MMORPGs and mention anything, without someone postings things like
Yea, that's might be a good game when it releases, but not as good as Darkfall.
Oh, you want that feature? You're definitely looking for Darkfall, so check it out.
Oh, you want this feature? Darkfall is going to do that best, without a doubt.
Sandbox is what you're looking for? Darkfall is going to be the best sandbox ever.
Players skills? Yea, Darkfall has them.
You want PvP? Darkfall has the best PvP system ever.
AoC, Vanguard, WoW, EQ2, War, they suck. Why? Not as cool as Darkfall.
And on, and on, and on, and on.
That is the over hype. Not just this forum, but EVERY forum around about MMORPGs people say, that game sucks, it's not as good as Darkfall will be. Srsly.

You are absolutely right.
But its not Aventurine that does the hype. And thats different from example WAR and AoC. There it was the companys that did the better part of the hype.
You just made all of that up. I've been looking through the other forums and it's simply not true.
why not and if you dont like it dont come here simple
The hype is made by trolls and vapor shouters, for real fans its just only hardcore pvp game that comes soon with great grafhipcs and hardcore pvp
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.

Yes, it is true, so there.

Don't forget the hype caused by the posters pretending to be above it all, and calling everyone else trolls and vapor shouters, and the posters that think they can decide who should come here and who shouldn't.
Ok go through the TCoS and Aion forums and see how many times DF is mentioned on all the threads in the first page. It should be quite a lot according to you, say at least once every thread according to your statement.

http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/search_results/1I disagree. It's always been the players driving the hypemobile for any game. They spend a few minutes on trhe forums and come here to tell people the game is the second coming and will save the world. What the devs have promised is nothing compared to what the fans say they have promised. For example
"Darfall will have freedom," (I've even seen people post total freedom)
No darkfall will have exactly as many features as they have programmed into it. You won't be able to do anything beyond that. Most of what you will be able to do in Darkfall are the same things you can do in any MMO. The differences, good or bad, are how they have been implemented and how well. That won't be known until after release.
I think that is correct. Hype always comes from players, never from Publishers and Developers.
Amount of ads =/= hype.
You cannot buy hype. You can put out tons of ads, and hope players will hype your game, but that doesn't mean they will. you may have no ads, and players will hype your game.
I think when people refer to hype, they are talking about how excited the gaming community is about a game, not how many ads the company has put out.
You just made all of that up. I've been looking through the other forums and it's simply not true.
Yes, it is true, so there.
Even a cursory look through the top 15 threads in general discussion shows that DF is only mentioned twice (excluding 1 thread moved from the DF forum to general) and one of those times it was being flamed. Your statement does not reflect reality.
The reasons Darkfall is special to me.
1. Freedom, of skills/ styles. You can take your charactor in any direction you want, and your charactor can change freely.
2. A loot / economy system that works to stimulate each other. People will be losing gear, and it will break, Player crafted goods will be useful, so there will be more to the game then just grind for gear.
3. Community versitility. by this i mean, because of the skill system your guild isn't restricted by "man we have too many healers" "We need more TANKS!" That crap is history.
4. Theres more to the game then Level, Collect Equipment, and Raid. You can have an "entertaining exsistance" (I'm pattening that catch phrase). I can build a ship and build a navy. Not that I want to build a navy, but I CAN!!
5. People who deserve to die, can be killed.
Take a look at the LFG forums sometime. He's exagerating but yeah it's happening. Hell I've seen it in the WoW forums and that's the last place on Earth you want to recruit players for this game.
Yeah I've seen it on the WoW forums as well but it is occuring a great deal less than other recent games, it's just a comment here and there and hardly noticable unless you look for it. Compare to that WAR or AoC, it's nothing in comparison.
Making statements like "You can't go on any forum about MMORPGs and mention anything, without someone postings things like" is absurd.

You Sir, do not appreciate, or understand hyperbole. Good day.

Daarco, makes a very acurate point above and both of you are being deliberatly thick or just ignorant . Both the games above spent millions hyping their own game advertising wise and both were packed with falsehoods and have failed to deliver.
DFO has not done this in any way yet , their website in minimalistic , with a simple forumn attached.
They have been putting there efforts into the game.
