I dunno.. but I find it funny that most of the extreme haters on here are silent right now... I wonder if they are playing the game... which makes me wonder, if they were all so sure this game sucks and is going to fail... why did they buy the game.
I had a chance to log into the game. I got in, saw a bunch of people standing in 1 spot frozen, some running in place and no monsters to be found in the starting area or anywhere around it. Decided I might be bugged or lagging and went to relog, and now I'm Queuing as I have been for the last 20 minutes.... Super Stable.
Hmm thats odd. What starter town were you at? I am listening to ppl kill goblins right now in vent.

You'll find that monsters arn't scattered around randomly for people to find like other MMO's, they'll be in camps and in groups - not randomly placed.

I went looking for these camps and found one. However, there were just a bunch of players sitting there frozen in place and no mobs to be found. So I'm not sure if I was just bugged or lagging or what.
where can 1 buy darkfall
talk to the NPCs around town, they'll give quests to kill the goblins, rewarding you with gear/gold. Once you accept a quest, it will show the goblin camp on your minimap. Get used to looking at your minimap, there will usually be interesting spots on it worth checking out, once you get to it there's usually mobs. The entire world was 100% hand created, so everywhere you're exploring was set to look exactly like it is by a real person, ensuring the world is a lot cooler and better put together than some random computer generated landscape.

They'll be doing the same thing their frothing counterparts will be doing if the game doesn't do so hot in the next coming months. Hiding, ignoring and eventually creating new accounts.

You can't buy it yet, they are limiting the server load by not letting anyone buy it, which i slightly annoying.
Bongloads do u play subspace/continuum??
if you are interested in ordering the game, please take it up with the official forums so that an official representative can point you in the right direction...thank you!

Or instead of buying the game you can go to the official website
http://www.darkfallonline.com/
and at the top right, you can sign up for the free beta
Seriously, you guys are idiots that are paying money to play. Right there, on the official website is the free beta sign up.

Beta is OVER. They just haven't updated the website and removed the beta signup.
You can take all the factors into account and its still a shoddy launch. So many great games have never recovered from the negativity of a poor launch. The MMO market has grown massively and the expectations of gamers have grown with it (rightly or wrongly). However you colour this one, AV have not communicated well enough with their potential customers on what is going on and therefore try to establish some empathy for what they are trying to accomplish. In the abscence of this comms, the community with get worried, frustrated and then angry.
This cant be what they envisaged...
To err is human....to play is divine
In beta, 1 of each races 3 starter towns was bugged in so far as the mob camps where completely empty. Re-roll in another starter town or spend about 15 minutes running to another one.

You just asked in another thread for people to post a screen so you could see if sliders worked
lol you little lier
You must have me confused with some one else I asked no such thing. What has sliders to do with monster spawns in beta anyway? It's true and probably still is. For example in Alfar lands it was the centre starting town that had no spawns.
People were "teleporting" and jumping around, really annoying actually. I also bashed that goblin for 30 seconds with no hits. I'm not sure if that's lag (goblin really being in another position) or my non-existant sword skill. My ping is under 100 at all times.
Also mobs look retarded. There's like 15 people on one mob, and the crazy goblin just runs in circles super fast instead of attacking anyone

Come on man this is just the start of DF downward slide. There are many things that will break this game,it wont happen over night . A sure sign is when it comes time to re-sub or when people actually realise what a bore DF really is.
I bet money that many of the fanboys will be singing a different tune within 4 weeks time.It's new and fresh and the feeling of a new mmorpg is keeping the fanboys entertained but it will wear off.
Will DF have staying power,i don't think so.

You bring up some interesting and well thought our poi........oh wait, you just say DF will not have staying power. That makes sense because people have not been playing UO for 10+ years now, and DF has even more than UO!
been playing for 3 hours or so, 0 crashes, ping between 150 - 200 and Im located in Texas. There are some funny mob and player movements, but game works, and is more stable than I expected.
They also just billed my brother who was one of the unlucky preorder who never got charged, so seems they got that together as well. IMO they may be turning it around

The first rational response so far that I have seen.
Everyone knows that they are a small indie company.
Everyone knows that there is a lot of excitmement for this game, by both haters and fans.
Adventurine has said that they have been overwhelmed. Even big game companies have had problems when they launched. People need to give things a chance.
If people were to complain about what their governments were doing to them as much as they do about this game and Adventurine, real life would be much better. You would probably have better games too.
I'm glad to hear someone not complaining. Its sounds like you have taken the launch problems in stride.

Thanks pyro. Good to know they are still working on the uncharged preorders. Hope they get to mine soon.
