from what i can see the world looks so huge and immersive... yeah cool vid.

Vetarnias · January 2009

Graphics look ok. Not impressed by the interface, and something tells me it's going to be locked in the first person. Very limiting.

Jupsto · January 2009

ummm i think the vid showed it in 3rd person if I'm not mistaken... i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder... i was foaming at the mouth like a rabbid fanboi...

DAS1337 · January 2009

I've never seen graphics like that in a MMO before.. so if you weren't impressed.. what exact;y were you looking at?

Anyone notice the crash at the end of the presentation? sliding corpses.. no docking feature with the UI.

Pretty crappy animation from what I saw.. but I don't expect any game to be perfect.

Ashrik · January 2009

Well, I wouldn't say I was impressed by the graphics at all. The environment looked very good, however, will all the shadows and sunlight.

On the other hand, the character models look as shoddy as anyone can remember them. Weapon and Armor models/textures aren't very nice at all. I'd say they were inappropriately shiny, given the grit and dirt on them. And dear lord, look at it when mounted

even w/ the poor quality of the vid, i saw relfections and shine off some parts of their armor, and from what i can tell they're not using flat texture maping on the chars like they did in WoW or WAR.. very flat textures

Shadowhand · January 2009

Yeah, graphics were never one of the things that drew me to DF, but I was pleasantly surprised with them from this video, ( even with the poor quality ). Did anyone else notice the moon rotating while moving?

DiTH · January 2009

So i had nothing to do and translated the whole vid :P.Hope you understand it :P

He says:

Open beta of Darkfall will end at early december.The launch of the game will be a little afterwards because its also based on marketing.Our publisher is Audiovisual Enterprises for 50 countries and after that it will launch in the whole world.

1 Minute

Here we are in one city which is a starting city of Darkfall.I have created a group which you can see on the screen.

3 Minute

Im going near the capital city of orcs.At this time someone plays on the server along with some other guys live on stage.

4 Minute

I think you understood what happened,it was a little monster.This is a little village.Creatures in Darkfall are not randomly around but have their our civilizations,architecture,etc.This is a little village.

5 Minute

You can see here the interface.

6 Minute

7 Minute

I want to say some things about the company.As we said 3 Greeks along with 5 norwegians started the company Aventurine,afterwards we added more people now we are around 30 people who are working on this project u see for many years.We are the biggest development company in Greece and we hope that there will be a lot more companies.Later today we will have a Game Developers Conference.Which when we started it was completely out of reality.I see here that there are many who study game development which is very important because when we started we couldnt find people in Greece so we had to get people from out of country or help the ones we have to learn some things.

8 Minute

Game development is one of the hardest activities on computers(Dont really know the word he says :P) and this kind of games like this one is the hardest to make,MMO's.

9 Minute

This is the entrance to the capital city of Orcs.Darkfall has (?) Races that each has its own capital and starting cities.Anyone want to make a question?

10 Minute

Question:Do we drive the ships ourselves?

Answer:Yes,1 guy can drive a ship.The camera goes out to 3rd person and you can see how it moves.The captain.The others can go and handle the cannons.To get a ship you have to kill the captain of that ship and you can get it.

Question:Are you going to have Greek servers?

Answer:Not yet,Darkfall is a worldwide game.If there is big interest in Darkfall we will make greek servers,at least i hope that we will.

11 Minute

Question:Skills.About reaction skills.For example,the most fire spells 1 person gets hits by the more he can resist to them?

Answer:No

Question:What about lag?How are you going to deal with it?

Answer:We have dealt with this issue.Firstly,we have used the best available technology and our servers are in the best location and also the game has a prediction system that is very effective.We have people that played from Korea and Japan and they had no problems.Also from West coast of USA which is practically to the other side of the world.Ofcourse there is always the problem with speed of light,so u can see that servers need to be in the region.For example,its good for people that play from California the server to be in California which is ofcourse on schedule.

12 Minute

Question:About combat.If we use sword and spells together.(Interrupted)

Answer:You cant use them both,to use a spell you have to pull out a staff to cast the spell.And when u cast the spell on first person view,afterwards you pull out the sword and camera goes back to 3rd person view.

13 Minute

Question:How about the travelling system?If i want to go from 1 capital to the other.There are ships which i can make with my friends.Is there any teleportation?

Answer:Yes there is,there are some gates that you can use and also there is a system which we have called Runes.You can bind them on one place and go back to this place.These "Runes" are crafted and they are relatively expensive.There are some gates which you can teleport with but they are not everywhere.Because its a PvP game we cant make it so easy for someone to go from some place to the other side of the world without any punishment.

14 Minute

Question:The engine you used is not open source but you have created it.Why didnt u use an engine allready created?

Answer:At that time and even now there isnt anything that can do what we wanted the engine to do,meaning the realtime was a really basic thing for us,you can see that some engine bought from other MMO's didnt really cope with those challenges that had a usual MMO not like Darkfall which has action and strategy and all these things u saw on this video.And what you see on this video is very few things compared to the available things.This is a pre-beta,a hardware testing you can say and you can see a game that we are live so much time and not had 1 crash.I remember other games in Open beta that had crashes every 5 minutes.

15.5 Minute

Question:Do you consider releases on other Platforms except Windows?

Answer:Look,if Xbox live was working really good in Europe it would be really interesting to have a MMO in a console.Many gamers use consoles.To make a game to a different platform its a big deal.Alone making the game is a big deal.We are interested in Mac and linux,mac is getting bigger market share all the time,but we are 30 people.Teams that make these kind of games are 300 and more.As you can understand we have lots of things to do.I do 10 works,the other guy does 30.We would want to have mac and linux versions but we will only have windows version.

17 Minute

Question:As i can see the game is really organised.Are you considering making an Expansion

Answer:The game uses our own tools and technology.We can make a lot of expansions.Every month we will have a mini expansion.The so called monthly updates.I believe we can make 1 expansion per year and that is also in our schedule.There are many things we can do.These are live games,everyday you fix some stuff and you update some other like graphics.The game is always developing.

18 Minute

Question:Is the game free or is there some subscription?

Answer:The game is in monthly subscription.We will also try to have a lot of ways to subscribe to the game.We will try and work with companies that offer many ways for someone to pay with.

19 Minute

Question:Can characters jump?Is it realtime game but is there friendly fire?What happens when some1 dies?

Answer:Yes.Yes.Dieing is relative.Firstly u become disabled.You are down on the ground wanting help and there is a timebar which some1 can come and help you or he can kill you.There are some finishing moves ingame.If you die you go outside your body and you go somewhere else and when you come back you might not find anything from your stuff.The enemies can take everything you have.

20 Minute

Question:Is there some ranking system?

Answer:There are some titles.For example you can have a name and have a title.You can have a guild rank.Guild leaders can give ranks.There are not ranking systems like ingame.You can be the best PvP player in server.And other people can see that.There are hundreds little things ingame that can distinct you from other players based on how well u do.

21 Minute

Question:You said that anyone can enter instances.What have you done to avoid camping in big bosses?

Answer:Lets say a hypothetical scenario where we go inside an instance and we find some people camping there.In other games we have player you stay there and whine.Because you are waiting for them to leave and you are captive of the time the other group that wants to stay there.In Darkfall you can go there and kill them so you can make a try until some other guys come and kill you.In Darkfall things are pretty simple.There is nothing that cant be solved with violence.There are some repurcusions though from violence.The game does not have violence just to have violence.This is a heroic game.We dont glory violence in this game its just one more mean for a player to use.

23 Minute

Question:From the time our gear goes bad,do we have to go to a capital to repair it?

Answer:Some crafters can repair some items.You can be that type of crafter.But mostly the gear is replaceable.You change your gear all the time,you will lose your gear at some point.Someone else will take your gear and you will take someone elses gear.You have to have backup gear.This is on of the things it bothered us on other games.You cant have something and use it forever.Equipment is important but its not everything.

24 Minute

Question:You said previously that there are no levels.How does HP,Skills and attributes go?

Answer:About levels,they were saying in the old time that a game has a life of 3-5 years so they made you reach that cap after 3-5 years.In the beggining it was nice but after some time you wanted months to get a level.So to counter that they made you reach the level cap really fast and you see now that in other MMO's after 1 week they have reached max level.So there is no point in having levels if you can reach the max level in 1 week.Comparing the levels to skills,you cant kill rats like you do in the start of many mmo's and use then those points in crafting.There is no connection between those two.And the worst is that you start a class and u dont know what you will find in the end or if u will like that class.

26 Minute

Question:How long does it take to max a skill?Swords for example.

Answer:Theoreticaly you can reach max level on all skills.But practically i think thats really really hard.The cap point at skills is 100 but that can change in an expansion or at some point.This ofcourse can be balanced but at the moment we find that it is pretty good.If you want to become good at some things you can achieve that pretty fast,it wont take you weeks.

27 Minute

Question:What happens when someone reaches negative allignment?After killing many players.

Answer:When some1 dies you go back at some stone you have bind.When your allignment is negative and you are not allowed to go there.You will go to another stones.We have named those ["Cave??"(didnt really understand him)] stones.Where there are many characters with that playstyle.Personally i would have played on this playstyle.This is not a punishement.You punish the players that dont want to play like this.

29 Minute

Here you can see him hitting one of his allies with an aoe spell.

So thats it :P Hope you understand it.Soz for misspells and if you dont understand something.

madmax286 · January 2009

Because im in a hurry, I'll trslate half of it now and the rest on a later post. Here you go mate:

Darkfall's open beta will finish in early December. The game's launch will take place some time later, which mostly has to do with commercial decisions. Our publisher is Audio Visual enterprises for 50 countries and later Darkfall will be published all over the world

01:30-2:30

Here we are in one of the start up cities of Darkfall. I have just created a party, you can see the members on screen

03:00-04:00

We ar aproaching the Orc capital now. At this point we are playing live and there are some more players in game, you can watch it live on stage.

04:00-05:30

I think you all realised what happened. It was a little monster. This is a small village. Creatures in Darkfall are not all over the place. They have their own civilizations (cultures) with their own hierarchy.

05:30-07:00

Youi can see the interface here

07:00-08:30

While you are watching this a few words about the company. 3 Greeks and 5 Norwegians came together and started Aventurine. Now we are a company of 30 designers who have been working for a couple of years on this project. We are the biggest game company in Greece and we hope there will be many more. Later today we will be having a press conferance here. When we started out, this was considered an impossible project. We see there are many students among us here today, when we started out we couldnt find people to work on this project and we had to bring them here from aborad or to develop the people we had hired for the company. The game we are watching is a very hard undertaking in computing and the hardest game's to develop are these MMO's.

08:30-09:50

This is the entrance to the orc capital. Darkfall has 6 races(I think he said 6), each one has its own capital and cities

QUESTINIONS FROM THE CROWD

(1) Good morning, can we sail the ships in this game ?

- Yes 1 person can sail one ship and be the captain. The others can man the guns or stay on the deck. To take the ship, you must kill its captain

(2) Will there be Greek servers?

- The servers we have now will be available to the Greek public but there wont be a Greek speaking server. Darkfall is a world wide game

(3) I have a couple of questons....About the skills, are there any intermediate skills, I mean if you use fire spells a lot does your character become more persistant against fire

- No

(3) About collision detection and lag(latency). Whats the situation at the moment?

- We believe we have dealt with lag, first of allby using the best available tehnology and secondly by placing our servers at the best possible locations. The game also incorporates a prediction system which deals with lag very effeciently. We have people who have played from Japan and the U.S. and have reported no problems. But one always has the speed of light problem. Thats whu our servers are placed by region. If one wants to play the game in California, then its better to have a server in the US .

(3) Can we use a spell and a sword at the same time?

No, not at the same time. To use a spell you have to have a staff and train it. To use a sword you must put in the staff, take out the sword and then use it.

(3) (In short) Is there a fast travel system in Darkfall?

Yes there is. There are runes you can use which you should bind to a certain location. These runes are crafted and are supposed to be expensive. There are also gates but they are not everywhere. This is a PvP and conquest game. We cannot make it that easy for someone to travel from one part of the world to the other. There should be a journey in between but we are remaining reasonable concerning this aspect. We are not doing anything that will cause frustration to the players

Thats about half the video mate. They were talking about the game's engine later on......I will translate the rest when I get back (propably tommorow).Hope this helps for now

Shadowhand · January 2009

Wow, lotta work guys, thanks

hidden1 · January 2009

nice, ty for translating it, this is great information... especially some of the tidbits he said about camping boss areas... classic "there's nothing that violence can't solve(r)" (i'm sure the 'r' was a typo)

anyways thanks so much for taking the time to translate, awesome work

Ashrik · January 2009

Awesome work man.

I find the notion of being incapacitated before either being rescued or killed to be pretty interesting.

Thanks for the translation. I think the small indie gaming company has a real gem here, and since everything in that vid was real game footage I dont see a reason why it won't be released on the 22.

cross fingers, knocks on wood, dawns horseshoe, and picks a four leaf clover.

Thradar · January 2009

Graphics actually look pretty good in this video. Interface looks like a clunky afterthought. Walking/running animation is terribad...like uberterribad. Riding animation looks like he's riding a rocking horse across the land. Character movement seems very slow compared to the scale of the world. I can't put my finger on it...just looks strange. World looks utterly empty. Are there supposed to be mobs/NPCs? Or is this it?

Overall I have a somewhat more favorable opinion of the game after seeing this video. It actually shows the interface and positive looking graphics. I still don't think Darkfall will get the population needed to support it...but I guess we'll find out.
