    That someday is coming. In fact if you correlate from the first post of 50+ to this one of 300+! it will only be a matter of 7 days.



     

    am i napping during the videos?  i doubt i've seen 50 folks on a DF video simultaneously yet, much less hundreds.

    I was thinking the same thing...

    I just want a hax so i can play on a darkfall server and not have to go through the process of digital download/subscription.  Can i have like some type of implant that i can just think darkfall to start up for me and it will.  i dont even wana have to say anything, that would be to exhausting.  any way i think it looks superb, given the direction that has been taken to release this.  now that its out, its here and stuff, witch is cool.  the video is outragous, freakin rinos rideing sand dunes is clasic.  i wana ride sand dunes with rinos.

    Here is a movie of the fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FicFVAMyZLo

    I doubt it was 300 people there, but at least 120-160 people. Hard to see everyone because the fight was all around/inside the hamlet.

    This deserves its own thread.

     

    Awesome stuff

    I took at look at that "epic video" and it looks like a bunch of "Lego Castle" dudes throwing blue frisbees at eachother.

    In other words...

    That shit looks like horrible, horrible crap. If that's Darkfall, yeah... I'll gladly pass.

    Bloody hell, I watched the videos that were being screamed about and what do I see? Same old boring repetitive animations being thrown about same old exaggerated crap, I see they still haven't fixed the mounts and I see they still haven't had the decency to fix the damn combat system yet to make it as complex as they promised it to be so that the game really isn't a number fest.

    Darkfall really won't get my money now since it clearly still seems to be in beta, Tribes 2 was more fun and chaotic and interesting than that and I get pissed off at that game because no one defends the flag properly. 

    Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

    The video looks really great :) I sooo wish I had an account already...

    Bad Aventurine, they keeping players out just to say their game has no lag and such

    And yes, the animations are horrible, but it doesn't matter. I'd rather have bad animations and a great game, then rolling heads and crap game

    Are you serious? If so, that's really really low.

    would it surprise you at all?

    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?

    Lineage 2 has had large scale PVP for years. 250+ people sieges are a common thing, the most I have seen was around 400  players.

    Coming from the company that employs Tacos Flambé, not at all. I just wonder if it's true.

    Ok. Are you guys genuine fans? Or are you just people hired by 2 seperate gaming companies, to duke it out in a forum, for the same customers?

    Look, all i'm saying is that DF is a new PvP game, it does allow for large scale PvP. Stop living in the past glories, the game isn't great yet, but it does have fun PvP (from what I've seen).

    So give credit where it's due...DF by most accounts of players has really fun PvP.

    So what's the beef (besides graphics/animations/customer service/billing/)?

    hahaha

    That was the shittiest massive pvp battle I've ever seen in an MMO.

    Seriosuly epic shit..i've never seen anything like it. WTF did they bring the servers down?

     

     Never seen anything like it? You must  have not played Planetside back in 2003 to 2005 at its peak. DF is not doing anything new in the large scale real time combat in MMO's, Planetside already been there and done that. Even in Planetside those battles over and over again become dull, the same will happen to DF.

     

    Yes, but that was then and this is now. You're living in the past man! Contemporize!

    This appears to be the only game on the market that offers large scale PvP today. Planetside may have done it fiirst, but Planetside is dead, let it go. DF offers the PvP today, so shitty graphics and choppy animations (terrible spell effects too) aside, DF is the best PvP option available today I think.



    Lineage 2 has regularly had mass PvP for years now, and still does. Castle sieges, fighting for major raid bosses, random world PvP encounters, etc. 200-300+ people on a seige field, especially for a major castle, is pretty common.

    If you notice most are AoC fanbois scrambling to protect Funcom's grand mistake

    The beef is for 8 yrs of development what did they produce other than whack a mole pvp? The game is as shallow as a dried up lake. Thats the beef. Never promise the world if you cant even produce a small one horse town

    OMG....   I just watched that video and cannot stop laughing...!  (The music was the best part of the video! )

     

    Darkfall fanbois just need to stop posting, they are making it worse for Aventurine, because anyone watching these videos are going to say:

    "WTF kinda combat is that?  It's kinda crude, when did you say they are going to release this game... around christmass..?"

    And you get to reply:

    "No, it was released last month...   it's publisher is Comedy Central and they are trying to get teenagers who cannot play normal FPS games excited about them.  Since normal FPS are a tad too harsh and hardcore, they decided to take the WoW approach and make a slow and cumbersome Online FPS game, so people can chat and talk and ride around with their buddies"

     

    Listen, it took 8 years to make this pile of garbage, no amount of patching will save this game. Darkfall will never make it out of summer before it closes it doors! It's the biggest flop in the MMORPG industry in 10 years!

     The ironic thing is people are complaining about animations and spell effects (which they see as lacking meaning combat itself is boring) when in reality it is exactly for that reason that the game can hold such large battles, relatively lag free.

     

    I payed WAR and even 2 warbands sieging a Keepwould lag to hell unless you turned off all particles and then you wouldn't have any idea of whats going on. I have a 4870 and a relitively new PC at that. All that animation fluff, means 90% of people can't enjoy mass PvP in newer games. DF definately took the right direction here considering its primary focus is city building/city warfare as you progress.

     

    More to the point, organized combat is tough in this game. It is chaortic and fast like a real battlefied because, thank fuck, there is no CC that takes you out of combat for 10 seconds. It is free flowing. Anyway those who say there is no strat have not played, it is quite evident.

     

    Hate on though fellah's, I'm sure you enjoy rubbing one out to AoC/WoW/WAR.
