holy crap.. those riding animations are just terrible.
The funny thing is with the video and your comment. it just shows you haven't played any of the real MMORPGs on the market, and probably have been playing free ones or ones like AO and shadowbane. Darkfall is just not up to 2008 standards, the combat is very very boring and basic and the graphics are 6 years old.... and even 6 years ago, the animations would be laughed at. The cool thing in the movie was though that there was one person actually using magic in combat out of probably 50 people in the fight. In my week of playing, I never saw a player use magic in combat.. only time I saw it was in cities as they shot spells up into the air.
I mean seriously.. look at the riding animation again.

They made DF so that you are going to kill your guild mates and group members by mistake. You will also go rogue in large battles as well. One of the reasons why not to many people use magic in DF. This is one reason why DF is so very carebear and Shadowbane is still 100% more hardcore. Everyone in DF is such a bad ass but yet they all fear PvP without having restrictions to hide behind, this is why they are playing DF. If they were hardcore bad asses, they would be playing Shadowbane. Darkfall and Shadowbane have about the same graphics.

Who the heck do you play with?
This is the most stupid thing I have read, on these forums, today. And that, my friend, is saying a lot...
WoWs riding animations are much better. To bad you cant fight when mounted, or make the mount fight. Or kill someone elses mount or steal it for that matter. All those years mounted in WoW, i cant think what the point was with the mounts in WoW. You could not do anything with them. I have not tryed LOTRO, is it the same there.
AoC was fun but i didnt get a mount there either.
So i think the battle looks really interesting. Atleast compared with the games i have played.
Horrible animations aside it looked pretty good, however what the heck were they a attacking eachother with? nerf bats? Seems like the only person that died in that siege was the person recording the video and even that took 10 minutes of him getting beat.
It's called an opinion for a reason. Maybe he has seen better N64 games better then this. Just because YOU disagree with him makes him a troll does it? Grow up.
So tells me the individual with the "order of the white border" as icon.
Perhaps its you who should get some common sense.
I do have common sense thank you. I'm not the once calling people trolls because i don't agree with their opinions.
The White Border is a bit of fun and alot of people including Darkfall supporters even posted and had a laugh in the thread created.
I actually think Darkfall looks alright and the video of the fight doesn't look too bad aswell.

The guy just wasent that good at pvp, not finishing off people he attacked and changing targets all the time. He was a self admitted newb in PVP battles tho

I think the reason he was called a troll is because he made a generalized statement without any intention to actually substantiate proof. Perhaps he owned a N64, perhaps not. It really doesn't matter at this point because there was no intention to actually prove that he was telling the truth. The point of his statement was to ridicule.
Next time, it would be simpler to just google n64 and look at a list of games, then coming up with an idea of which game or games he was referring to for his premise.

Your right , I just hate it when people call other people trolls it's one thing on the net that really annoys me i do enjoy a good conversation though and a good debate as long as it doesn't turn into a flame fight.

The funny thing about his N64 post was that I was trying to recall my days of playing "Link: The Legend of Zelda" and comparing it to screenshots and video of Darkfall. That Mario 64 game was pretty good graphics, as well (at least for its time). Without having played Darkfall, I don't have the right to honestly degrade it. But it does make me wonder...

seen a few vids covering that battle now, that one was prob the best so far, especially the cavalry charge. videos don't do justice to how much of an adrenaline rush the battles are though when you're playing.
bear in mind this is less than 2 weeks after release and already there's mass battles & sieges, mounts with cavalry charges, etc.

you must be new here. mmorpg.com doesn't do conversation or debate, it's ALL about the trolling. if anyone forms an opinion about a game from these forums they're a total moron.
hello, my grammar is bad - You can see how its near imposible to hit someone from horse if you suck - Guys did try to do some line formations but they understand its not good at all so it became standard DF circle running, just like real battles were once the initial lines clashed.
fixed.
it's only been 2 weeks, this is just the beginning. you can already see the smart clans figuring out how best to orchestrate infantry, archer & cavalry tactics & formations.
Horrible animations aside it looked pretty good, however what the heck were they a attacking eachother with? nerf bats? Seems like the only person that died in that siege was the person recording the video and even that took 10 minutes of him getting beat.
I've mentioned this in my other thread. The reason nobody is dying is because almost everyone is using their newbie (no drop) equipment. I'm not sure how edited this video is, but in the fights I participated in most (50%+) of the players were naked too. It was the way my guild worked.. if we went out killing mobs, we took main equipement.. but when we were going to raid another guild, most of our guild banked their good stuff and took newbie gear only.
Every single PK I've encountered in the wilderness was naked with their newbie equipment. Yes, you kill them most of the time, but you get nothing from them. They are just hoping to get lucky and kill you and get your stuff.

darkfall is awesome.
"Bear in mind it 2 weeks after release"... then.. "bear in mind, it's three weeks after release..." then "bear in mind, it's only 4 weeks after release"...
Bro, nothing is going to change, that is the game you BOUGHT!
Secondly, "Videos don't do justice to how much of an adrenaline rush the battles are..." ..? Dude, are you basing a game solely on how much of viceral attachment you have to ganking people...? Because, you cannot address your anger, frustration or energy in real life sports, or physical activities..? Darkfall is suppose to be an MMORPG, not mortal combat... which you have obvisouly never played, based on how excited you are. If you are looking for somethign viceral and HARDCORE... how in the hell does Darkfall fit that bill..?
THat video is pethetic and comical... nothing in that screams of an adrenaline rush. Dieing means nothing in Darkfall... death in the original EQ had more hardships and importance to your character.
Darkfall = Carebear UO for the mentally challenged ..!
I was involved in that Hamlet battle. Reportedly 300 or so people. Our Guild, Image helped support the Hamlet. We brought about 40 members. We travelled about 1/2 just to get there. As we crested a hill we saw enemies as far as the eye could see scattered all along the plains with a concentration of the attacking clan and alliances secured up in the city. The battle in the vid was before we got there.
It was the most amazing fun I have ever had in an MMO.
This is also just the beginning. A lot of our time has been devoted into building our city (almost complete). The real fun will be bringing in the siege equipment.
p.s. System specs are:
Dual core E8400 3 ghrtz
4 gigs ram
8800gts (320 mb)
vista 64
In this battle all settings were maxed with minimal lag.
Yeah mounted combat looks pretty much lamer than foot combat. I like the bit where the mount stops and does a little perfect reverse. Needs a little beeping signal to warning people like some truck reversing. Seriously again nothing like the standard set by M&B. Noticed not of embarassing sync issues to from time to time. Ugh... FPS games at this ping just make me swap servers, except with DF... oh yeah. One server.
But really I was not sure if the riders were fighting or making love to there sweet behind of there trusty mounts. Oh yeah ride my baby oh yeah !... I was gonna grab a screenie and sell it a furry pr0n.

I got to accept DF is looking like a very interesting game for massive battles, pretty amazing what you can see in the video.
To above poster: we all know about the bad animations, for months.

the combat is bad? no i don't think so its just a personal feelings, i do consider it as fact !
- You can see how its near imposible to hit someone from horse
- Guys did try to do some line formations but they understand its not good at all so it became standart DF circle runing
Why the fak it have to be like this, im not alone who dislike DF combat, but is pre-tram/priviate UO/SB/M&B fan.
fixed.
