Darkfall fluid huge battles???
Yes we heard it many times by fanboys that Darkfall can host 200 to 400 people battles with little to NO lag. Many of us trolls questioned this and they claimed it be good programming and how darkfall brought MASSIVE back to mmorpgs.
Sounds to good to be true doesnt it. So why not check out what real darkfall players actually have to say about this Lagree affair.

read the 1st post and the rest if you want. but we see how the op does everything in his power to try to get some good fps to defend his city from attackers. aprox 100 in the fight dropping his fps to 1-2 fps at LOW settings. Other claim their ping flys out the roof and its unplayable. Hmm this really questions the fanboys credability. comon why lie? why do people even have to basicly shut everything to low, including sound to partake in a battle at medicore fps.
Now about the videos we see that "claim a huge siege" when you look at em you can clearly see there is in no point in time huge blobs of people fighting eachother, we only see prob 30 people tops at any given time. sad indead
Im going to sell you a dream.

The trolls never rest. Of course anyone who claims to have been in a large battle must be a fanboy. Someone has lag in a battle, surely they must be the prophet of truth. You "skeptics" are amazing.

seriously stay on topic what does your post contribue to it. Im clearly pointing out that fanboys on these fourms claimed the game to be lagfree in big battles and this is proof its all a lie. Post somthing constructive against my post not jibberish with no meaning at all.
btw go close that thread before it gets to big.

Lol, common solution seems to be to turn the sound down or off. With crappy sound effects, I figured most people would've already done this with Darkfall.

I am on topic, not my fault you were failing at reading comprehension.
I am pointing out an obvious fact. Many people have different computers. You have the audacity to believe that just because some people can't handle the massive battles, then it must be the only person speaking the truth and everyone else claiming to have no lag must be big giant liars. You realize what an epic fail that logic is, right?

Clearly I am not a real Darkfall player because I have good performance. But hey, at least I don't sit on the official forums for games I hate hoping to find something to post about on the MMORPG.com forums. I think after reading this post I will cancel my account and have my entire guild cancel as well. Some random guy on the MMORPG.com forums who doesn't have the game told me it doesn't run well.

They didn't test any of the end-game features, it's all bs as usual with AV. It's impossible to play the game with an acceptable performance in a huge battle. Tasos' last update was a hilarious read. I especially liked the part where he states that they had battles with 2000 participants, which is a blatant lie to anyone who's actually playing the game. There were a few sieges that crashed the server, every bigger siege makes the whole server lag.
Even though I'm not a fan of huge battles, I had to go to a siege because my guild got involved. From what we've seen, there was less than 300 people in the area and the game was nearly unplayable for me because of hardware lag. When we got to where the siege was taking place my framerate dropped from 100+ I usually get to <10fps. Everyone was warping around due to graphical and network lag, I couldn't really hear anything either (the sound positioning gets all screwy if there's a lot of people in the area, and if you don't drastically lower the amount of 3d sounds your PC has to process, the performance will be even worse, even though <10fps is pretty much the rock bottom anyway.) Funny thing is, there was NOTHING that I could do to improve the performance; the game was running at the absolute lowest settings possible and it still lagged so bad I could barely see what's going on. I have no problems running any other newly released games that I play, so it's not a problem with malware or 590243583409 applications running in the background. I was really surprised to see the game perform so badly, so after the fight I asked my friends to see if they had a similar experience, and even though some of them are running the game on top of the line PC-s, they were all lagging equally bad. Plus, there's a lot of people complaining about crashes etc.
I have a C2D e4400, 2GB, GF8800GTS320MB, X-Fi Xtreme Music, WinXP32 SP3, which is not even close to being a top of the line system, BUT the game does not support dual core processors, it does not support hardware sound, and if we take that into consideration, then it's pretty safe to assume that it does not support SLI either.
Haha, you all just got owned.

Whahh whahh all you want. the fact is if the mayority of the players experience so much lag and only top of the line players dont its a huge disadvantage.
no auto attack = anyone who cannot get good fps in a large battle cannon fodder to those who can. btw did you read my post? cuz if you did this is the counter to all those fanboys who screamed on these fourms that the game can run a huge battle flawlessly , bash all other games out there then insult the players of said games calling em carebears and what not because all the aother games CANNOT support huge battles with no lag.
This is to PRove the point that NOT even darkfall can preform flawlessly under a huge amount of pruessure. In other words. Its like all the rest.
So haha to you...
go write a blog or somthing about floating spaceships in darkfall.
Im going to sell you a dream.
Haha, you all just got owned.
eh what... i just owned you fanboys who decided to bash every other game out there because darkfall was the only game that has flawless big battles.

Must we troll each other all day.... seriously this is getting ridiculous.
Mcquaided, just because some people are having problems does not mean that the whole thing is broken. It does not mean that its supremely fluid like some claim either. All it means is that a some are having some technical difficulties in which we do not know the exact cause of. It could be lots of things ranging from poor internet connection or hardware to shoddy coding on Aventurine's end or even a mixture of some of these things. Now you may very well be right but in my opinion you need alot more evidence than this to prove your assumption correct.
SignusM, why would you troll someone that you consider a troll? It's obvious that you love the game but using troll tactics to further the "fan's cause" does no justice to the game. If anything its hurting it by making the community out to being no better than the trolls. Trolls are going to be trolls (not necessarily you mcquaided) and they are going to say anything to make the game out to be a POS. You don't want to be the equivalent to them except on the other side of the fence do you? Be the bigger person and don't stoop to insults and just bring logical counterpoints and/or criticism to points you don't agree with.
Paragus1, I thought you were better than this..... Instead of giving good logical counters like you usually do, you sarcastically trolled the post effectively throwing some gas on the flames....
I know i'll probably get flamed for this post and I'm aware that you are all entitled to say whatever you want on these forums at any given moment but seriously when is enough going to enough? I guess I'm just tired of seeing both sides trolling each other on every single thing.
@ OP post mode 03-23-2009, 09:06 PM plz dig better you can find awfull threads on release day
BestSigEver :P
Really if you have a good performance thats ok, but why don't you accept that some people have a problem with that? You are really trying to disavow that there are gamebreaking problems in the game for reasons that I can not understand.
Do you feel personally attacked everytime someone critisizes the game? You didn't made the game, so why do bother so much? Its like you are trying to convince the majority of people who read this forum that everything is ok with the game while small percentage would buy the game and a small fractional amount of them would ever have the chance to purchase it.
And it is good that mmorpg.com exists because in the offcial forums every inconvenient thread gets either flamed, locked or rather deleted (mostly every post about rampant use of hacks and no these are not troll posts), so its hard for a new interested player to find out what negative points he needs to accept before trying to purchase the game, the official hompage with wrong feature informations is extremly out of date so the page doesn't help.
I don't have a problem if someone enjoys Darkfall, but I hate to see when developers selling shitty and half made mmo games for the full price and lie evertime they open their mouth. I became suspicious about games who promise to deliver the gamers heaven on earth after being disappointed too often. The posts and threads about the really negative points in the game repeat too often (here and in the official forum), to be just troll posts.

Some players will have better performance than others due simply to the fact that they have different hardware. For exaple, I never had an issue running AOC, even at launch. Others were not so fortunate. The same is true for Darkfall. I have been involved in large battles and have not had issues with significant loss of FPS or lag, others have. So the "game breaking issues" are not so, for me.

I don't. Then again, there are many here that simply talk crap without having any first hand knowledge of what it is they are saying.

Indeed.

Doesn't match my experience with the game or, in fact, AV, so I can't really relate to your view. There are, btw, a lot of trolls, but more so, a lot of people that simply like to complain.
Paragus in the trenches batting away cluetrolls with the cluebat, nice.
And all this time, these fluid, scaleable sieges i'm fighting in have been just an illusion!!!!!!11111
According to this troll, who's never played the game: in other MMOs, noone *ever* has computer/graphics setup issues.
if anything, that thread just proves what we're all saying -- some people with crap for hardware get shit performance in battles with 400+.
so you pretty much self-pwned yourself here.
your attempt at trolling is effectively a fanboi post, GG.

Sorry tho,
But in Warhammer Online people with State of the Art Rigs ran into 1-2 FPS with continues disconnects with only 40-80 people on the RvR lake.
Hardware does mean jack shit. It's the Game Engine and how well the game engine is optimised to support different hardware. Wich usually comes down to the same ol' same ol' NVidia versus ATi debate. Not to mention AMD versus Intel CPU's.
And no doubt the exact same shit happens in Darkfall.
The always continue automatic blame of a person's hardware is getting old.
With Age of Conan's launch I had a brandnew system and my girlfriend was using my older rig (not so old tho, about 1-2 years old hardware) and the game was running much better on her rig then on my so called brandnew State of The Art rig.
So go figure!
ouch, my eyes...
performance in an internet game is the sum of a lot of things. server code, server hardware, server bandwidth, client bandwidth, client latency, client hardware, client code. if any of them are crappy then performance will probably be crappy.
i'd had no performance issues but then i've not been involved in a battle with no more than a 100 or so. my clanmates have reported no performance issues either but again, we generally do (prefer) smaller battles. that is all going to change really soon though............
It is completely PC dependant.
I have an ATI 4750 and 100-200 battles stay at around 40-60FPS.
200+ battles are more attuned to 20-60FPS. However, since alot of other people lag during these times they hop around a bit and it can be somewhat difficult to stay on a single target. That being said, I have participated in at least 4 200+ battles and can confirm they do run at a very playable rate with a newer PC.
I still turn 3D sounds down and shadows off just for good measure.
Ty for giving a good explination about it. damn beats the omg this game runs without lag with large battles going on.
The game suffers the same thing as the rest which was my point.
I do admit i get a kick when fanboys explode in anger. good to see regular players having a blast reconizing the problems yet not bash others or othergames.
Im going to sell you a dream.
Simply because there is little to nothing else in the game to do. There seems a renewed campaign on here by the ardent few fanbots to cover up what is essentially being shown to be the truth on the main DF forums. Sad and a little bit disturbing. BUt we all know why AV are moving to private fourms. Dirt under the carpet.
I say it once and I will say it again. DF does not have any groundbreaking technology when it comes to server / client and number of players in the same area. If they did AV would have patented the technology and made a tidy profit. INstead they can barely afford a new server or a test server. This is epic fail and obvious lies.
Lies and misdirection from AV.. oh never !
You "faithful" are no less so.

actually you do have a point. if they could do somthing many companies have tried to do all these years, they would make more of a profit selling the game engine then the actual game.
Kinda like the company behind heroes journey. The game was placed in the back burner but the engine has been sold already to a few companies and we will be seeing games using their technology soon. Their game however is on the verge to become vaporware . Kinda is by now
Watching Fanbois drop their soap in a prison full of desperate men.
Yes Tom, AV with approx 30 unknown programmers with no known bios or previous experience have been able to do what neither IBM, Oracle, Cisco, SAP, Blizzard, EA, et al have been able to do.
I agree with you, if they had been able to optimize their database code, network interface and traffic handling that well, one of the above would have bought them out in a New York minute and we would have never heard of Dark-n-Fail.
Just that much more BS by the BS artists and the slavering sycophantic failbois.
