Worst release I've participated in.

Actually, I haven't even really participated in it, because I was unwilling to screw with the pre-ordering mess, and I've been unable to buy the game since.

They messed up so many things. The website isn't updated, the server wasn't stable (apparently it is now), many features have been left out (mahirim 4 legged run - i realized they told us it was out but jesus christ man). The official forums aren't even up.

Why don't they just throw a few google ads on the header and footer and call it a night? It shouldn't be that expensive to maintain a vb forum installation rofl...

Regardless of how pathetic this launch has been, I really want to play Darkfall. Even though they've left out my favorite feature (player housing), the game is still superior to anything else out there right now.

Everyone needs to stop and reaize that these guys are running a single server that is (supposedly) capable of supporting 10,000 simultaneous players. That's pretty badass. It sounds to me like, regardless of how devoid the world is of NPC mobs, you're bound to run into someone fairly often.

I would like to plead with Aventurine: Guys - stop screwing up. Do your jobs, get your servers stable (forum/account/etc), and DELIVER YOUR PRODUCT.

    But it can't so who gives a fuck?

    And even if it can.. it's meaningless..

    You can go on a regular MMO world that has 3,000 people on it and it will still feel exactly the same as having 10,000...  It's just a bigger world with more spread out people..

    Tha't's not a "feature" in any way shape or form.

    The game is a totally featureless empty world with nothing to do but PK with the terrible click fest combat and craft some junk with the terrible craft system

    It will be a dead zone within a month after the newness wears off and people get sick of having nothing to do.

    Just think about this... Most people got sick of WoW within a few MONTHS... and it was jam fucking packed with features and content...

    How long do you think it will take for them to get sick of a contentless featureless game that is never going to be updated because they have no freakin money and limited man power.

    Sorry - who are you? I'm offering the informed opinion of someone who's been following darkfall for probably longer than you've been playing MMOs, and has participated in its beta. Thanks for the troll post. You managed to contribute absolutely nothing, and advance your post count by 1.

    To elaborate on my original post, here's what I like about Darkfall:

    • The skill system really is sandbox. Even though quite a few of the skills are redundant and/or worthless, you truly do have the choice to train in whatever you want.
    • The lack of any kind of level system means that you aren't constantly progressing towards the next level. A big part of MMOs is bragging to your friends/guild mates about how epic you are, and in Darkfall you don't have to be level 75 to do that.
    • No one really knows how powerful you are unless they ask you or try to kill you. In UO, some of the best PvPers in the game used to run around naked with a few reagents in their backpack. It is my hope that the same thing will be possible in Darkfall. I hope reagents in this game are worth more than they are in uo - mages shouldn't be able to fight with relatively little risk in comparison to the amount of risk melee types take by bringing armor and weapons out.
    • The world is pretty badass. The far clip is pretty far, and the textures look decent. It's not as good as LotRO, but it's at least equal to WoW, in my opinion (though WoW does run a bit smoother. For the record, it's wow's smoothness that made it such a popular game.) It really is a damn admn shame that they didn't include player housing. There was so much potential for people to have unique and interesting houses dotting the landscape. Like a Tavern/Inn in the middle of nowhere that you can bind at and rest. Or a blacksmith bordering a large forest, so you can run and repair your tiems.
    • Many more things, but my girlfriend is now lookin at me weird cuz i'm typin a huge paragraph into a gaming site...

    Actually I am of a different opinion. Having participated in the launch myself. It was rocky the first couple of days, but has improved leaps and bounds. The client now, as I stated about the beta client, is far beyond how stable AoC was even 3 months after launch.

     

    This is one of the best launched I have participated in. Not the best, but it is up there. In any case, this is just the opinion from someone Actually participating in the launch.

     

    Sync issues are gone, haven't incountered any bugs or glitches, haven't even experience any lag what so ever evil while running fraps, and I am in the US. This of course is simply my experience after playing for the past 6 hours straight lol. Had a bit to much fun and couldn't tear myself away. Didn't even go grab a smoke but once every 3 hours OO! And for me thats unheard of lol.

    Yes, it has. I could actually log in and play Anarchy online, instead of watching people platy that ordered after me.

     

    Sure I got stuck in walls and fell through the world but at least i could say I was playing :)
