    No paragraph, no readie. So sorry.

     

    Bwhahahah... I skipped it as well.  I also skipped his first wall o' text.

     

    DF fans aren't known for their reading comprehension skills though....

    too hardcore I think

    Game is enjoyed by some, hated by others, in the end, you'll have to try it yourself to find out if its your type of game.

     

     

     

    It's not about reading comprehension, but whatever.

    Most of the people here, whether they bash or praise it, haven't even played the game, so you're not going to get a fair response.  Common sense really.

    I beta tested DF and all I can say is that only a fool would give Tasos a dime.

    Hmm, deathstiny, haven't seen that name before.  You're now duly noted as a liar (exaggeration past a certain point is a lie) and from now on will be dismissed as inane, thanks for presenting yourself forthright so as to be easily identifiable.

     

    ummmm a lot of Death's post was true....

     Its not polished like say AoC (now not release) or perhaps LOTRO, or War.

    But they dont offer what we the DF fans find fun: ffa pvp, twitch skills needed for pvp, full loot, city building and sieging, massive fights, some pvp and questing, player politics, open seamless world, ship battles.....you can do whatever you want in the game....if that  sounds like fun then yes, DF has all that.

     

    Some complain about animations (just updated btw so they dont run with a stick up their ass) some about hard to grasp UI, unsoloable really if u are not a crafter...its a matter of preference

     

    I find the game good and enjoy it, some do not and hate on it for sometimes stupid reasons. look at vids and if they look like fun try it out, if not try some other game

     The game is fantastic fun. This is the first MMO launch I've seen in 5 years launch with just about all of their promised features and actually be unique. 

     

    Anyone who calls it the worst launch in MMO history has likely never played another MMO in their life, or is just a troll.

    Spoken like a true troll. It's nice to see that some of your kind still exists even after the game proved not to be vaporware.

    why would anyone in their right mind think that selling 10,000 copys on release date a sucuess! 

    who ever waited 7 years for this has to be so disapointed..even five..even 3 or 2 years..you think they coulda put something a bit better together ..and the grafix..my god is it still 1994? ..almost looks as good as marrowind..not really lol ...this is clearly a sham of a game / release

    I wasn't aware they released their sales number, nice job though. I guess you've never heard of a staged release.

     

    They seem to be far better off right now than Age of Conan, which launched with no features, wasn't stable, and went bankrupt within 2 months and had to shut down like 30 servers within 3 months. Then you have Darkfall which launches on a smaller scale, with a stable game, and stable servers steadily growing. 

     

    Yup, failure alright. And the graphics? Really, you're picking fun at the graphics... how sad... That's all you've got left to cry about, something that is completely subjective (I personally believe its like being inside an Elderscrolls game, the lightning is the best in any MMO to date.

    I think this is the most reasonable post I have seen from a fan of the game.  My hats off to you, sir.  Now, on to the topic at hand....

     

    Darkfall isn't for everyone.  It's a niche game, much like Eve.  There is abundant information available now about the game, some negative, some positive.  My best advice to you is to look at the information from the official forums and from videos and screenshots that are available now.  Asking for an opinion here is just asking for trouble.  Not only do you not know who has played the game or not, but some are a little overzealous about the game (rose-colored glasses).    Best way to know if you'll like it is to try it yourself.

  • DkevlarDkevlar Member Posts: 308

    The game doesn't suck that much really.

    But it will only attract a niche (rpg'ers that like pvp and full loot) from a niche ( rpg'ers that like sanbox/skill driven games) from another niche (rpger's) from another, bigger, niche (mmorpgers).

    While confusing, the above statement is ultimately true.

    Despite whatever problems it has or might have, Even if Aventurine fixed everything wrong or supposedly wrong with Darkfall and gave it next generation graphics, it would never be  not a mass appeal game.

    If you're not in the sanbox with full loot league,  and mentally prepared to get ganked, lose all, recraft, kill some, lose again-there is not much that would hold you to the game, more a case of "move along".

    For those that are, they will endure anything because it is their style of gameplay- what is fair and aceptable- and there aren't that many other options.

    Personally I once was on that league, so I can understand the motivations to play,  but age moves on, the amount of free time shortens, and truth is my UO days passed many moons ago.  So after checking out it was, playing a bit, I bid adieu to darkfall without any hard feeliings.

    Played for about a month but cancelled now. The game has (or possibly had) a lot of potential, and I can see how some players would love the game.

    For me though it was the way the game pretty much forces you to guild, and the way that the big zerg alliances would then just steamroll everyone. Yeah I know you can solo, but I personally don't want to spend my "relaxing" time of an evening, fighting tooth and nail for scraps as a loner, nor do i want to be part of one of the zerg alliances.

    If it's still here in another 6 months, and AV add back in some of the cut content, then the game could be absolutely fantastic. That being said though AV just seem completely overwhelmed by the whole process of trying to run a business and an MMO so I, personally, don't want to throw anymore money at them until I know they're settled.

    One other bad side was the community, I've never had the "pleasure" of dealing with so many angry, vitriolic wankers in my life. Apparently playing DF means you're "hardcore" and thus better than everyone else. Sorry, but anyone who thinks they're more "hardcore" than anyone else, for playing a computer game needs to get a fucking grip.

    My friend, well, not really, please, don't lose hope. There is a game with everything we have longed for. It's called Mortal Online. Join our forums and know what a true sandbox with caring developers is like.

    Should be pretty fun.

  • daarcodaarco Member UncommonPosts: 4,276

    I guess this is what you can expect from a PvE forum about a PvP game!

    The truth is that DF dont suck more then any other game. Or, if you like sandbox its even a good game. Same as SWG and EVE.

    ITT:

    The griefed

    The PKed

    The people who failed to get the game

    The carebear squads





    Darkfall is the best MMO since Ultima Online and Everquest.  Don't take my word for it though, try it for yourself.  In fact, don't trust anyone on this site for honest reviews or opinions.  This is the biggest collection of trolls on the fucking internet.

    Lol. This post, along with your forum name made me really laugh. No sarcasm, no offence. "The carebear squads! Lol! That's hilarious..

    I disagree with you, but if I could rep you on these forums I would. Great post.

    Again, no sarcasm.

    its been practise by several companys to charge double, for info i needed to stop the payment for eq2 about 4 times before they got a cleu i was no longer paying this game. and i still dont have all the money back. this after 6 months.


    - Now, it is okay for patch files to delete the game from your harddrive instead of patching it

    now this point you have correct this is very poor. unless they dont want to really promote the game yet before they have more servers....
    and on and on it goes......this truely IS a REVOLUTIONARY MMO
     
    you talk lots of bullshit, you must be glad you can use the internet in real life you probably get told to shut up alot.

    Who ever said the game was absolute crap? It's one of the most stable MMO launches I've seen in a long time. A game that actually WORKS at launch? <gasp>
     Think the only other time that has happened was with the LotRO launch (and thats cause they gutted their main game 7 months before launch, but it launched with what it promised in those 7 months) Lacks polish, truly, but hey, I didn't except a glistening gem from a 30 man studio if a 200 man studio can't even do that. (the funny bit there is that said 30 man studio got closer to a shining gem than the 200 man studio did, AND managed to have more innovative game features at the same time)

    So you haven't disputed that you are paying to beta. Point goes to Deathstiny
    I'm not paying for beta testing, I'm paying for a finished game?
     That being said, I've run into a few bugs post launch, but hey guess what, if bugs never existed in MMOs then they wouldn't need to be PATCHED. WoW is still getting patches, 5 years and they haven't gotten rid of all their bugs? For shame.

    Customers that were double charge already had it fixed. Took about 3 hours to catch that mistake before they fixed it.

    Tell that to the massive amount of people that have already been banned and like to whine about it in the IRC room. 
    - GMs are getting actively involved and PKing and have their own cities which they will defend god-mode style
    even more Bullshit
    Says you.
    I think the only instance I've seen this happen was a rumor flew around in beta that a GM was a member of someone's guild, because someone in said guild used a name similar to a GM to mess with people, and it exploded from there.
    - updating official websites is finally a thing of the past
    now this point you have correct this is very poor. unless they dont want to really promote the game yet before they have more servers....
    Mmm, yes they do really need to get on with that new website they were talking about, the amount of misleading information on the old site is not good, though just about everyone knows to use the news forum, not the main site. Newcomers however, wouldn't know that.
     
    and on and on it goes......this truely IS a REVOLUTIONARY MMO
     If you look at the crap we've had the past 5 years, its nothing short of a miracle game.

Also I know that there is currently a conspiracy theory going around that the GMs are kicking people who are participating in raids on their town... Is there anything nice to say about this game?

     

    well you have to take into consideration that the huge majority of those here have never even played this game, making SOME of the hate you see in their posts actually focused on the fact that they can't play, rather than on the game itself.

     

    Also take into consideration that these guys have been extremely negative on DF YEARS before release.

    With all that, yes the anger is still warranted, the game sucks atm imo, nothing 6 months can't fix (there's a complete lack of any form of polish, making the game look like someone's high school project), but lets just hope AV shifts gears and gets their sh1t together; if the coming month is anything like the last month, there will be no more AV com May.
