lol. be ready. Your about to be flamed, called a fanboi and trolled as well as possibly called a shill by those that haven't even played the game yet lol.
But yeah, after the initial bumps in the road everythings been great lol.
I would advice people to read the OP's post history before taking his enthusiastic review to the bank.
now why on earth would someone bring a review to the bank.
Yeah the 6.8 points is definitely a sign of quality.
yeah
You should change the title to Woohoo The besg game for ME since UO. then trolls cant say shit.
Im going to sell you a dream.
all lies, nice try though.
NDA is lifted and the shit is on front street now.
5k beta testers couldn't fix this game ,what makes you think 5k fanbois gonna help it?
Yup i play the game daily and its everything it should be. Minor tweaks/changes needed but a very stable solid game. Good work !
I've played a lot of mmorpg, last year i played AoC and War, actually my War account expired last week, i can say they are the worst games i played since World of Warcraft.....
The only one i loved after Star Wars Galaxies and Dark Age of Camelot was EVE, so i can't call myself a fanboy... I planned to try Darekfall after some weeks by the release, i don't like to try a third stick in my ass after War and AoC.... But i can see that a lot of children claim this game is a failure without any clue...
Why?? Are you retarded?? Play it at least, if you don't try, how can you write some stupid things about this game??
Question: I have read reviews, watch live streams of gameplay, seems like the mobs are very rare. What do you mean good spawn system? Do they really only spawn in the same camps all the time. Aren't you fighting over mobs with other players?
Please describe the mob spawn system, differences from the usual MMO, It seems like mobs are a rare spwn from what I've seen.
Thanks,
You loved Starwars galaxies ,that shows what type of MMO player you are. You don't know crap.
If you think Starwars galaxies was good ,I bet you like and play Hello Kitty Online?

Mobs spawn only in specified locations. Most are near some random houses in wildrness, some guarded castles or some ruins etc. They are not wandering around ready to be killed. If you played Shadowbane then you will know what I mean. This encourages PvP because mob spots are something like valuable place you can 'control'. Anyway, this is opposite to Diablo 2 cow level or WoW.

Are you idiot??? Star wars galaxies was an awesome sandbox mmorpg, until NGE.... What have you played??? Only WoW in your life???? Hello Kitty is a game online? You know it well then, i'm impressed!
I hate hello kitty (creeps me out the awful cat), but i pay respect to you if you play that game! It needs some guts!

SWG was good, what was wrong with it?

Only good if you love buggy unpolished games

give this a look when this guy starts playing again i did for 4 hours last night and needless to say i still want to play this game but alot of the problem's the troll's are saying is true just watch and see if you like it.
lol. be ready. Your about to be flamed, called a fanboi and trolled as well as possibly called a shill by those that haven't even played the game yet lol.

I watched the game being played long enough to decide it wasnt for me. Some people love the game. And frankly im delighted they do, but seriously give the "flamed, called a fanboi and trolled" stuff a rest. You accomplished what precisely? You invite trolling with this sort of sandbox stupidity.

There are mob camps but the reason people think there are few mobs is because UNLIKE WAR, WOW, DAOC etc etc, you will NOT bump into a mob every 5 feet. I like that. I cant count the number of times my ambushes in DAOC went south because even though ya I can kill all three of those hibs, that goddamn mob I agroed tipped the scales. So super stuff.

If you want to just grind mats, skills or money though, is it easy to find a spwan and fight a couple hours without getting ganked?
erm... the same way that people that don't play the game can write wonderful things about the game every day?
the same way that people, who are supposedly having the time of their lives, are constantly posting about the game, instead of playing it?
dunno, your guess is as good as mine?
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
But i don't remember writing some wonderful things about the game, i only remarked the stupidity of speaking of Darkfall as shit unless you have played it....
It's simple, obvious, i presume....

Oh some elaboration pls. How is it buggy? How is it unpolished? How does that contributes to a bad gameplay? I do not need 2 adjectives. I have so much fun during the early days of SWG that I find it hard to relive that kind of freedom and exploration in the years since. Love DF, Hate DF, but don't bring SWG into the scene for comparison. I have big doubts that DF can get me anywhere near SWG. The quality of the SWG community alone will place all these forum fights into a shade.
As for Hello Kitty Online, this weak attempt to insult shows the communication skills of the community.

I was in beta for nearly a month, i have since found out nothing mob wise has changed since the last days of beta.
And this is bullshit, its one thing to have areas which are loosely populate with mobs, but i once spent 3 hours running around the map exploring, in all that time i met about 6 different types of mobs on about 8 different occasions... in 3 HOURS!!
And when i did they were small groups in very isolated areas.
I found entire castle complexes completely empty, whole villages devoid of mobs, even some dungeons only have a handful of mobs in them.
Thing is the devs kept saying more mobs would be added on leading up to release, but every time they tried it created huge AI problems and bugs, so i dont really think they are capable of enabling more.
Its also amazing how the fanbois before launch would go on about how amazing it would be with the wandering dynamic spawns which leveled up and looted players, NOW after launch has revealed what utter bullshit that was they are suddenly talking up how brilliant it is that the world is empty... honestly its priceless

Interesting information. If the world is barren, all you can do is keep ganking each other while waiting for the mob to spawn, or for the next patch hoping something will pop up somewhere. Just one question tho, how large is the world, how much of it have you covered during 3 hours. Unless you are very unlucky, its likely that a 3 hour search can provide quite a representative sample of the rest of the unexplored world.
I heard that walking is very slow in DF, does this hinders your span of coverage in that 3 hours. One way or another, if that is all you can found in 3 hours that this game is not really interesting for ppl who want to explore and find things for themselves.
If I want to play a PVP game in a barren world, how about street fighter. Its a free game, its fast paced, its ... everything ... it even have some (stupid non interacting) NPCs waving a fan or stick as you fight.
In 3 hours i managed to go from the orc lands starter cities to the dwarf cities (which is a fair old hike) and then to the center so i guess i uncovered what i suppose 1/5 to 1/4 of the mainland in pretty good detail.
And no sprinting is easy, its to easy, just load up on fish (food) and stamina pots and travel naked with no weight.
To get from one side of the mainland to the other its about 2 hours i think i heard someone else in beta say.
The thing is its way to easy to sprint explore wherever you like and because the mobs are so rare when you do meet them you just sprint away for a few seconds and youve escaped.
The map is great, youll have real fun exploring it for like 1 week, like the combat, its fun (but shallow) and is fun for a week, but if you are looking for a deep game after about 2 or 3 weeks Darkfall will become a very dull and empty experience for you.
