Darkfall's epic pve
Darkfall isnt only a game with great custommer support, an exquisite website and a delighting community.
Its also has epic battles vs mighty dragons.
I'm not a no life that sits in front of his computer all day long, I'm an intern that sits in front of his computer all day long.

is this sarcastic or not?
damn i cant really tell anymore!
Yep, only the fankids thought that PVE would be "epic" in this game.
That seems more like boring work to me than a game. Seriously they stood there pressing one button over and over while the dragon with holes in its wings just stood there turning in circles.
Honestly how can you fanbois defend that? Don't say pvp because all you have to do is change the dragon for a person and then all you do is whack one button over and over that looks like you are chopping wood.
that sure took alot of skill pushing that mouse buton 50 times yep it sure did i can se now why its so hardcore
really? quote that sir, please.
pve..... rofl.

Hmm.. that combat didn't look very fun. A bunch of em' were repeating the same hack move over and over O.o
Nice vid otherwise
quite the superior AI aswell this makes aoc look like wow in quality
A fan of the game does not need to explain why they enjoy the game. Just let them enjoy there game and we enjoy ours. Personly I would love to play darkfall, but I am waiting for a free trail or winning a lottery, with ever comes first! Game like this are not about looking nice and good, but it attracts a different kind of community (an no not just the ganker comunity or the self claimed elite hardcore MMO'er) with I love.
and yet the bots say millions of people will play this game haha........
Good Golly... this PvE looks more like Adventure Quest to me LOL! I'm glad I wasn't waiting for this...
The only nice thing about this video is the song. Apart from that it sucks. Big time!
hehe - I found that video quite funny, I confess.
really? quote that sir, please.

Yet another video with a bunch of twinkies hacking away (with the same attack) at another defenseless creature that just stands there and takes it.

Look they are talking about crafting which is very carebear if you ask me. You should do some justice. Go get em tiger. Maul those carebears who only want to craft.
Watching Fanbois drop their soap in a prison full of desperate men.
If I hear that song one more time.

What makes you think that?
LMAO! I can't believe I actually considered buying this at one point.
well.... sounds like a lot of pve stuff ingame, of course how much credence can you give to an MMO's official site? ... all the below is taken from the official darkfallonline.com site:
I don?t like PvP, why should I even consider trying out Darkfall?
If you give it a chance, you?ll discover that Darkfall is an extremely well rounded game. For example, there?s as much effort going into the quest engine and the crafting process, as there is going into the combat design. Darkfall features the ultimate player based economy, more useful trade skills than any other released MMORPG to date, advanced NPC and monster AI, and a quest engine constantly creating new and challenging content. Furthermore, the game world is huge; you could move to a remote area with your friends and try to create a safe haven for other like-minded players.
Explore five continents, countless small islands, trackless underwater depths, and a sprawling underworld. Hundreds of dungeons and adventure areas await.
What are the Prestige classes?
Prestige classes are special classes, like Paladin, Assassin, Gladiator, Enchanter etc. and it?s an optional path that you may choose for your character to follow. Picking a prestige class will in most cases give you a few special skills, a few special spells, and you will have a certain status. There are limitations, tradeoffs and restrictions playing a prestige class character. Druids for example may never use metal armor after they are initiated, and Paladins have to give half of their earnings to their church.
Uncover the mysteries of an ancient civilization, which left more than just ruins for later generations to discover. Untold riches and incredible power is the prize, as you join the race to claim an age-old inheritance
In Darkfall, there?s much more to character development than, say, raising your riding or mining skill by mindlessly killing rats all day. Instead, you'll need to practice your skills if you want to get better at them. Darkfall?s skill based system makes sense, and it saves you from having to waste your playing time leveling.
You will never have to re-roll your character again. With Darkfall?s flexible character development system, your character simply adapts to the choices you make for him. We give you hundreds of skills to learn and master, and around a hundred Prestige classes to further specialize in.
Multiple safeguards protect you from cheats and exploits that would otherwise interfere with your gaming experience.
In Darkfall, all items in the world can be made by the players.
Darkfall?s crafting system is intuitive, non-repetitive, challenging, useful, fun - and profitable. Using Darkfall?s virtually limitless item creator system, you could invent and be the first to use a weapon as awesome as the Flamefury Raudstaal Battleaxe of Bloodshed, or just make a simple saddle for your horse.
Bring your goods to market using Darkfall?s sophisticated and secure trading system, bringing buyers and sellers together easily whether they?re inside the game or not.
Choose from a great variety of weapons, armors, hundreds of offensive and defensive spells, and special attacks.
Trade your hard earned items using Darkfall?s secure trade interface and in-game trade boards.
Explore the many different paths to being successful, and discover new ones that nobody thought of before.
We are committed to delivering and maintaining a complete, stable, and balanced game; a game that makes good on its promises, with regular and free expansion-size updates, prompt and swift customer service, and superior value for our players.
What do you mean by next generation?
By ?Next Generation? we mean that while Darkfall was inspired by the pioneers of online role-playing games, such as Ultima Online, Everquest and Asheron?s Call, it has advanced features and technology never before seen in online games. We are confident that Darkfall will help to advance the genre further.
As the game is launched, clues begin to indicate the hiding places of artifacts called word-stones. Darkfall's dynamic storyline concerns the struggle between players to control these artifacts and the wealth and power which they unlock.
Is Darkfall a Player vs. Player (PvP) game?
Calling Darkfall a PvP game would be selling it short. Of course there?s going to be a lot of PvP combat and the combat gameplay will be as fast paced and fun as a first person shooter, but the focus of the game is kingdom building, clan warfare, and conquest. The battles will be epic and will require a lot more than just PvP skill to be won. Darkfall is as much a social, a real-time strategy, and a fantasy role playing game, as it is a PvP game.
Will you offer a world without PvP for those of us that do not enjoy it?
We like to think of Darkfall as a game where there are no restrictions to player interaction that don?t make sense. The fantasy literature and mythology that inspired fantasy based RPGs contains conflict, combat and warfare and its part of what made these worlds so dramatic, the characters so heroic, and the endings so rewarding. Having said that, we?re sorry, but we cannot offer a ?softer? version of Darkfall.
What effect will eating or not eating have on my character?
We don?t want to add too many mundane everyday issues to Darkfall. However we do think that eating, or not, should affect your character. This means that if you are starving, your stats and skills will take a small penalty, and you will regenerate hit points, stamina and mana slightly slower than if you weren?t starving. Nothing big ? you can?t die from hunger - just enough for it to make sense to have some food in your backpack.
We have trade skills such as farming, setting snares and hunting animals, and we are serious about having useful trade skills in Darkfall. Therefore eating is in the game, and players that enjoy farming, setting traps, baking, cooking, fishing, hunting, etc. can sell their wares to other players and actually be useful to others.
Will there be player owned houses?
Players will be able to set up houses of various sizes and design, ranging from small cottages to huge castles and citadels.
Can I design my own house?
Yes you can.
Can players make magical items?
Darkfall features an extremely sophisticated item creator, which will enable players to create powerful items, like weapons, jewelry, armor, wands, potions, food and more.
We have invested a lot of time and design resources into creating the ultimate player based economy. Players who enjoy trading and crafting will truly enjoy Darkfall’s virtually limitless item creator system, something never before seen in a MMORPG.
What different crafts buildings are there?
There’s a smithy, a workshop, an alchemist shop, a herbalist’s shop and the mage guild.
How will trading work?
We have developed a pretty sophisticated trading system that brings buyers and sellers together easily, and it will work in, but also out of the game. There will be more on this at a later date.
Can I have pets or NPC hirelings in Darkfall?
You can have pets and NPC hirelings in Darkfall, ranging from tamed animals and monsters, to summoned skeletons, charmed animals and monsters, hired NPC merchants, hired NPC guards, etc.
What can my NPC hirelings do?
NPC hirelings can follow you around and fight with you, they can carry your loot, they can perform skills and spells to aid you, etc. NPC hirelings can do pretty much everything that player friends can do. In addition, NPC hirelings can be given advanced orders such as patrolling your city, looking for enemies, criminals, and thieves. They can be a vendor in your shop that you have set up, they can mine for minerals in a mine, they can go out into the forest and chop wood for you, or stand on the banks of a river fishing for you all day.
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?
what "great" custommer support are you talking about?
OMFG!
Please tell me that is early beta footage. That looks like absolute shiite. The dragon is floating in the air spinning, chop chop chop go the animations. OMG honestly, I have been warming considerably to DF despite the shit graphics and animations, but that is awful, just...terrible!
Please tell me this isn't what a new player today (assuming they can fight a dragon) would see?
...Man, that looks terrible! I can't believe it.
You do realize that is the only thing that made it in to DF for release as it was written. Most of the stuff has been cut or hastily put together, and players have not been give a timeline or a " Look what we are doing " post on what is to come. DF is in a sad state unless you like mindless PvP.
