I have been in the game 20min after queuing for 2hrs and so far I just want to quit. How do you send a tell and how do you sit? Anyone know? I will rpobably log off for awhile since there are no mobs in the game and it is completely counterintuitive system. Wow I thought AoC was bad. Anyways, let me know if you know how to sit and/or send a tell.
Well pretty simple! Just click left > click right > drag > press R > left click > press something = REST. Awesome huh? LOL
I don't play WoW (played for a month when it first came out), it has good graphics, looks clean, has easy loot and combat, etc... there is a reason this game has 1 server and WoW has 100.... { Mod Edit }
WoW has had 5 years to amass enough players to have that many servers, it didnt have very many at launch. Darkfall has barely been out for two weeks and probably half the player base isnt even in it yet, not to mention all the players it will gain over the years. Im not into DF but I can respect it for what it is, dont hold DF up to all the of the major games on the market, it was never meant to be one of those.
You sit by dragging the rest ability from your skills page to your hotbar.
Darkfall is a joke. It is barely playable and has half the gfx of WoW.. you are kidding yourself to justify your 5 years of waiting for it to come out. And btw WoW had at least 25 servers at launch and several splits/adds.
You sir are the joke, if you fail to se that DFO have much better GFX than your pressious WoW then you are just plain lying. And about the 25 servers WoW had at lauch they only have like 5000 account on each so moot point.
I am pretty sure you never played DFO, since you have so many blatant missconceptions of the game.
***************************** I have nothing clever to say.
I glad you decided to stop playing OP, cause your no addition to this game. Go find you you something that satisfies you instant gratification within the first 20 minutes/ Graphics centric game and get happy with it.
You spot will be replaced with someone worthy, there are still people in my guild who can't wait to be with myClan in the game..
The fact that you bought DarkFall without get you information about the starter place or don't looked about information about how to send a tell and the mobs doen't speak for you..you will NOT be missed..
Bye and hope i don't meet you in any of my games..because you clearly the type of player that is not target audience in any game i would play and would not show any understanding of your noob spam and QQ ing in any of my chat window about things you can find out yourself..Glad DarkFall community has not to deal with you anymore ..i give you at least for you leaving some credit..

I just exited... terrible gfx and worse gameplay. I bought Two Worlds when it came out and actually threw it away after 15 minutes of playing... This isn't much better. Actually it isn't better. The gfx are terrible and clunky, looting is a 10 step process. If you attack near another person you hitm them and they kill you. The chat sucks, etc. Wow it is bad but I knew what to expect and just wanted to say I was part of the trainwreck that was Darkfall. See you all in WoW. J/k.. I don't play WoW... See you all on the forums!!!
You may be a bit too young for this type of game.
Perhaps finding something more in your age braket would be beneficial.
Strange, but I feel a bit too old for this game. So, who is this thing designed for anyway?

wow!! u really had the balls to say that? That is impressive.
So u are too noob for Darkfall? u admit that?
U couldnt figure out how to use an interface in a game that 10 thousand people are playing with no problem.
In other words, out of 10000 players who figured this out on their own, u couldnt.
Its people like this that justifies warning labels like:
"Do not attempt to stop the blade with your genitals" (on a chainsaw in sweden)
or
On an infant's bathtub: "Do not throw baby out with bath water"
or
On a cup of McDonald's coffee: "Allow to cool before applying to groin area"
(all true stories)
I mean I knew there where dumb people out there, but to come right out and say it....

People are using it with no problem, does not mean it is convenient to all players.

another thing you might like to know is the ' /bindstone recall ' (it casts a recall, no cooldown, but a 1-2 minute cast time, dont know how long it is... but it sure as heck feels like 5 minutes when you are in hostile territory )
Is this recall a spell or skill or...? Do you need any reagants for it?
Or is this just free teleport for everyone?

Just an ability, no reagents.
There are runes, that are in game that I have not found yet, that actually act like a mark/recall spell, if you know what I mean.

I will rpobably log off for awhile since there are no mobs in the game and it is completely counterintuitive system. Wow I thought AoC was bad. Anyways, let me know if you know how to sit and/or send a tell.
To sit, you need to open up your skill list (rightclick the screen to switch actionmode on/off) then in your skill list, in the general section, find the skill called REST, drag it onto your hotbar. Then you you use R to sheathe your weapon (assuming you have one unsheathed), and then press the hotbutton to make Rest your active skill, then left click to use it. (your avatar will then sit down and enter rest mode)
it sounds a bit complicated for something as simple as sitting down... but eventually the buttonclicking becomes a habit and you wont think much about it when you do it.
you send a tell with /tell name surname blahblah (ie. /tell Random Gankster Hello, can i have my stuff back please?)
another thing you might like to know is the ' /bindstone recall ' (it casts a recall, no cooldown, but a 1-2 minute cast time, dont know how long it is... but it sure as heck feels like 5 minutes when you are in hostile territory )
and /annotation_add Bank (it will add a mapnote with the text Bank , on your current location.)
Yep, sounds like alpha stage placeholders. Simply because, it's 2009 and Aventurine cannot figure out how to make a real hotbar, so when you press a command, it happens. So you must now just simply macro a sit command on my G15.

I don't play WoW (played for a month when it first came out), it has good graphics, looks clean, has easy loot and combat, etc... there is a reason this game has 1 server and WoW has 100.... { Mod Edit }
THe thing is, this game intentionaly doesnt want easy loot or combat because the fans dont like that. Aventurine knows of course that they could get more players if they do things like that but they (most likely) dont care that much about money and would rather make a game that a specific community wants.

Not a WoW fan at all, quit about 3 months after release and have not been back. But that is completely untrue. WoW sold about halh a million copies first day and completely overwhelmed the servers. To Blizzard's credit, they quickly had new servers online,
And when Tasos came out and claimed the game was more feature complete than any MMO on the market, he begged for Darkfall to be held up to all the major titles. Completely his fault he tried and failed to run with the big dogs.

How can anyone claim this? Adventurine is in this for the money but there is just one problem, in order to make more money you have to have some to begin with. Saying that ANY company doesn't care about money is just plain ignorant.

Not to sound insulting, but these things seem like little annoyances and pickiness more than anything else. Someone really feels these to be major gamebreakers and arguments as to why a game "sucks"?
You cant /sit like in other games?
You can't /tell like in other games?
You can't /bindstone recall like in other games?
They do seem like rather trivial concerns. It probably would have been better if someone reasons why the overall gameplay was bad, not stuff they can fix rather easily in the coming months (queues and /emotes). Just seems as though these things interfere make it difficult for someone to /happy emo with their friends in town, but not a real essential purpose, lol.
Would you rather have working /sit and /tell commands, or a working /build city, /fight enemies in huge battles without constant hourly server crashes?
If someone is the type to choose /sit and /tell, I think they might want to try "Hello Kitty". I read they got rave reviews for their /sit, /tell, /wave and /hi commands.
And that other guy saw NO mobs to fight? Was he stuck in town /macroing too?

good that you're statment is false otherwize we 'd never see any niche market games coming. Fact is if it was true games without a solid casual content would never even be produced. hopefully some companys try something else than mainstream wow bullshit games for the small fans market. regardless if its a good game or not.
PS: tryed it, didnt like but fact is the game isnt that bad as long as you are not spoiled with the last years games.

I really do not understand how people are "spoiled" with the "last years games".
If being spoiled is coming to expect some type of standard for games when it comes to graphics, ui, and sells then I guess we are all spoiled.
The "last years games" all for the most part have upheld some form of genre wide standard, ever trying to improve graphics, ui, and gameplay. Some fell short but they tried.
AoC for example, raised an entire new level when it came to graphics. WoW standardized casual gameplay and implemented such a marketing and sells tactic unlike the world has ever seen in this day and age.
EQ2 improved on EQ1 as a total package.
Guild Wars also improved on graphics and teamplay.
Warhammer improved on DAoC's graphics and attempted to improve on gameplay.
Darkfall has gone backwards in all of these categories. You can call me spoiled if you like, I am just used to game companies trying to raise the bar, not lower it.

Maybe, but then again, Darkfall is a hell of a lot more fun to play, then any of the games you mentioned above.
So, in my opinion, they got the most important element correct.
They just turned off mob spawns because they had too many players in the game.
That's how pathetic this company is, and how well this game is coded.
And I find it more entertaining for every person here to say "Yea, we didn't want you in the game anyway!" -- soon enough you'll have nobody left to play with, because it will only be the fanboys. And we already know that the fanboys are largely allied with one another, so the game with shitty gameplay is now going to be even worse than it initially was.
Shadowbane has better graphics and mechanics than Darkfall, even if it's level based. Hell, even DF is level based in disguise, but I won't get started on that because fanboys will shout me down and it's not worth explaining it to them. It's not even a sandbox world either, but I'll avoid that for the same reason.

It's actually only 19 minutes more than is necessary to determine (correctly) that Darkfall Online is a horrible, horrible excuse for a game.

To sit, you need to open up your skill list (rightclick the screen to switch actionmode on/off) then in your skill list, in the general section, find the skill called REST, drag it onto your hotbar. Then you you use R to sheathe your weapon (assuming you have one unsheathed), and then press the hotbutton to make Rest your active skill, then left click to use it. (your avatar will then sit down and enter rest mode)
it sounds a bit complicated for something as simple as sitting down... but eventually the buttonclicking becomes a habit and you wont think much about it when you do it.
you send a tell with /tell name surname blahblah (ie. /tell Random Gankster Hello, can i have my stuff back please?)
another thing you might like to know is the ' /bindstone recall ' (it casts a recall, no cooldown, but a 1-2 minute cast time, dont know how long it is... but it sure as heck feels like 5 minutes when you are in hostile territory
)
and /annotation_add Bank (it will add a mapnote with the text Bank , on your current location.)
Yep, sounds like alpha stage placeholders. Simply because, it's 2009 and Aventurine cannot figure out how to make a real hotbar, so when you press a command, it happens. So you must now just simply macro a sit command on my G15.

Not a WoW fan at all, quit about 3 months after release and have not been back. But that is completely untrue. WoW sold about halh a million copies first day and completely overwhelmed the servers. To Blizzard's credit, they quickly had new servers online,
And when Tasos came out and claimed the game was more feature complete than any MMO on the market, he begged for Darkfall to be held up to all the major titles. Completely his fault he tried and failed to run with the big dogs.
THe thing is, this game intentionaly doesnt want easy loot or combat because the fans dont like that. Aventurine knows of course that they could get more players if they do things like that but they (most likely) dont care that much about money and would rather make a game that a specific community wants.
How can anyone claim this? Adventurine is in this for the money but there is just one problem, in order to make more money you have to have some to begin with. Saying that ANY company doesn't care about money is just plain ignorant.

You wouldn't understand
Not to sound insulting, but these things seem like little annoyances and pickiness more than anything else. Someone really feels these to be major gamebreakers and arguments as to why a game "sucks"?
You cant /sit like in other games?
You can't /tell like in other games?
You can't /bindstone recall like in other games?
They do seem like rather trivial concerns. It probably would have been better if someone reasons why the overall gameplay was bad, not stuff they can fix rather easily in the coming months (queues and /emotes). Just seems as though these things interfere make it difficult for someone to /happy emo with their friends in town, but not a real essential purpose, lol.
Would you rather have working /sit and /tell commands, or a working /build city, /fight enemies in huge battles without constant hourly server crashes?
If someone is the type to choose /sit and /tell, I think they might want to try "Hello Kitty". I read they got rave reviews for their /sit, /tell, /wave and /hi commands.
And that other guy saw NO mobs to fight? Was he stuck in town /macroing too?
"TO MICHAEL!"

fixed.
good that you're statment is false otherwize we 'd never see any niche market games coming. Fact is if it was true games without a solid casual content would never even be produced. hopefully some companys try something else than mainstream wow bullshit games for the small fans market. regardless if its a good game or not.
PS: tryed it, didnt like but fact is the game isnt that bad as long as you are not spoiled with the last years games.

I really do not understand how people are "spoiled" with the "last years games".
If being spoiled is coming to expect some type of standard for games when it comes to graphics, ui, and sells then I guess we are all spoiled.
The "last years games" all for the most part have upheld some form of genre wide standard, ever trying to improve graphics, ui, and gameplay. Some fell short but they tried.
AoC for example, raised an entire new level when it came to graphics. WoW standardized casual gameplay and implemented such a marketing and sells tactic unlike the world has ever seen in this day and age.
EQ2 improved on EQ1 as a total package.
Guild Wars also improved on graphics and teamplay.
Warhammer improved on DAoC's graphics and attempted to improve on gameplay.
Darkfall has gone backwards in all of these categories. You can call me spoiled if you like, I am just used to game companies trying to raise the bar, not lower it.
Maybe, but then again, Darkfall is a hell of a lot more fun to play, then any of the games you mentioned above.
So, in my opinion, they got the most important element correct.
They just turned off mob spawns because they had too many players in the game.
That's how pathetic this company is, and how well this game is coded.
And I find it more entertaining for every person here to say "Yea, we didn't want you in the game anyway!" -- soon enough you'll have nobody left to play with, because it will only be the fanboys. And we already know that the fanboys are largely allied with one another, so the game with shitty gameplay is now going to be even worse than it initially was.
Shadowbane has better graphics and mechanics than Darkfall, even if it's level based. Hell, even DF is level based in disguise, but I won't get started on that because fanboys will shout me down and it's not worth explaining it to them. It's not even a sandbox world either, but I'll avoid that for the same reason.
This game is an entire joke.
