    IGN doesn't even recognize the existence of Darkfall.  Can we just all admit that this game is a big FAIL?

    The one and only.

    You paid because you wanted to. No stealing in that. People here were warned a lot before the game came out.

    I were a potential customer for Darkfall after having read the games feature list on their website. I enjoy open worlds with lots of different game features and aspects.

    Sadly the game doesn't seem to have fulfilled the features I were interested in, and instead only one feature seems to be dominating any other which isn't really sandbox like imo.

    Also, after having read Tasos response to the bad review score EG gave Darkfall, I am suspecious that the guy is a real nutcase and I am proberly better off not involving my self or my money with him and his products.

    Are you trying throw personal insults against me because I am not automatically a raving fan of DFO?

    If so, lol at you.

    I lost all interest in the game when I read that full loot PvP was listed as a major feature. Just doesn't interest me to play in that kind of environment.

    That's what alot of DF fans do.  Make an argument they can't fight and watch as they will: 

    Insult your intelligence level

    Insult your character

    Insult your living conditions

    Play the post history dig up game

    Play the post count game

    Play the join date game

    Deny facts

    Claim you wrong, without providing proof

    Play the victim card

    Play the bully card

    Use lame responses like, but not limited to - "Carebear" or "Go back to XXX"

    Make up random statistics

    Bad pedaling and/or flip flopping

    That's just a small taste of their board warrior tactics.  I swear most of them spend more time trying to PvP on forums then they do in their beloved game.  My personal favorite though is one that Darthraiden replied with, in a quote to me.  Claiming that I didn't understand.  What it is like to be part of something bigger then myself.  Which I should probably thank him for, as I, as well as a few of my co-workers, got a good laugh out of.

     

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    If there were a free trial I would proberly do that.

    I have never stated that DFO is a bad game, it just doesn't seem like something I will invest money and time in and I stated my reason for thinking that.

    I do not need to play DFO to make an opinion on Tasos' behaviour, because his writing is out for everybody to see.

    Yes I do agree that a free trial would get alot the arguements Ironed out . But it annoys me that the haters on this forum are whipping up a frenzy of Hate and unwarranted negativity towards Darkfall, when the " majority of them hav'nt even played it. And some are even jumping on the bandwagon that hav'nt even heard of it before.. To me its the mob mentality , which is an extemley sad side of human nature.

    Not really seeing your point there because you went ahead and decided not to disprove the highlighted points. As to your previous post, I can hate Darkfall all i want because the company that runs it and the mouth of the company Tasos are terrible at what they do and unprofessional to the extreme.

     

    incase you want proof, Their website and Tasos response to a review  are all i really need to point out.

    I love this game. I don't play it, and probably never will unless there's a trial, but the hilarity that comes out of it's user base is astounding. I know other people that won't play it because they limit purchases, though I don't understand why. So what if they keep things at a manageable level? Don't take it personally. It's probably more to do with a gradual increase in users and server load testing than anything else. They probably don't have the staff or resources to do massive load testing or handle tens of thousands of purchases at once. Big deal. People seem to forget that this is their "Darkfall European commercial release". AFAIK, as a US citizen, it's still in beta. I'm sure they have a lot of NA users. Maybe if they didn't, things would be different. I think they will do a North American release eventually after they polish things up. If not, meh, it's just a game; go outside. In the mean time, I benefit from them fixing bugs and banning cheaters while the early adopters pay to beta test.

    Last I knew Darkfall wasn't first person view (FPV); Mortal Online will be FPV-only, but Darkfall was third person view (TPV), or at least allowed some form of TPV. I think I read recently that it's a limited-view TPV, a yard behind or so, which only makes sense to me. You can't whip your head around to glance behind you easily in a game, so seeing a small amount behind you is acceptable. Seeing far behind you, while you look/run/aim/fight forward--especially in a PvP game--is just silly. If it somehow fits into the lore, of which I don't think Darkfall really has any, maybe it would be acceptable to me. Personally, as mainly a PvE player, I prefer FPV as it immerses me more and makes it more fun for me. In PvP I wouldn't even bother if it was TPV, that would really suck for rogues (which I usually don't play). I also enjoy a challenge, though.

    IMHO, nearly all the critiques people have given were strongly subjective, driven by some problem that person had and were biased, and generally suspect. I'm not a fanboi; I really don't care if this game succeeds in the long term or not. The more vocal people are people that don't like the game, which is always the case, for every person that rants on a forum about it there are probably a hundred that don't. A PvP game gets more pissed off people that not, and a strict policy adds to that. Expected, IMO, and possibly a good thing. The more losers that rant the less are ruining the game. I think the fact that they are being harsh on cheaters shows that they really care about their game, which is good. SOE, one of those power house huge companies, doesn't give a crap about most (if not all) of their games or game communities. They're abstracted; it's all about the money. Maybe a small company is better. Sure, you might not get to play for a while, but when you do it might be a better experience.

    This game would never be a top five game to begin with. It's market is very niche. Not only because it's PvP, but because it's lootable PvP, wide-open PvP, realistic graphics, skill-based (which I also love)...it will never be huge, but with a game like this that may be preferable. I would rather be in a smaller server community than one in which any one of ten thousand teenagers can come up and gank me and take my stuff. Your reputation means more, you will more likely be remembered, and there will generally be less shenanigans. Combined with their banhammer policies it should turn out to be a solid place to play if you enjoy open PvP. If you're a delinquent that exploits and griefs, maybe it wouldn't be, which the upstanding murderers of society in Darkfall probably appreciate.

    Either way, until I play it myself, I don't care what any retards post on any forums. Just like you shouldn't care about what I've just said. :)

    LMAO!!! Post of the week!



     

    Oh dear ... and this from someone who thinks Darkfall Players have a low IQ ...

    I bet when you go to bed at night , you stick your head under the blankets and smell your own farts and then giggle to yourslf eh ?

    go on its ok to admit it, you do dont you ...

     

    This is what I'm talking about, is that supposed to be a clever insult?  It is blunt, crude, and unimaginative at best.  It is the kind of insult that someone would expect a Chimpanzee to make if the chimp was able to talk.  By contrast, cfurlin made a hilarious pun, but it seems to have gone over your head, sorry.

     

    Do you smell your farts? har har Do you eat your own poo?

     

    lol

     

    What will you hit me with next, 'yo momma'?

     

    This coming from a guy named Super Crap.

    Figured.  Troll hater.  A lot of the other trolls seem to be abstaining from voting as well.

  • Cik_AsalinCik_Asalin Member Posts: 3,033

    Again. My stance i chose is that im playing and enjoy the short time spent.  At the same time, Im a fan whos the first to say that AV fucked up at not providing a product as stable and complete as it should be. Anyone else here that bad-mouths the product without playing it are adolescent spas-hats who are going to continue to look for mmo handouts, let alone easy government handouts.

     

    Its just not an easy game to enjoy for those spoiled by theme-park mmo's.

  • KrayzjoelKrayzjoel Member Posts: 906

    Im on the fence about this product. I would love to try a trial version of the game, but not while the following are on going

    Bad business practices.

    Tasos has anything to do with the game.

    DF community continues to be horrible.

    Graphics look decent and they update the game on a good basis so there is couple pluses for them. I wont sub until alot of changes in the company occur.

     

     

    Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.
    Playing EVE Online and AOC.
    Wtg for SW:TOR and WOD

    Then you may want to look into another game.  I don't see ANY of those things changing anytime soon.  You may want to look into Mortal or Eve.  Eve, from what I understand, has an overall mature population.  MO may draw in the same kinda population that DF did.  Time will tell.  Hope you find a game you like...

    So, we're talking about a game here, okay.   I'd float that this game isnt for you, if your pride is with pve-centric mmo's, as it seems.  Your points are clearly subjective, but your own, as with bad business practices....most have no idea what that means and how it impacts your game-play, Tasos being with AV is a meaningless subjective impact on your game-play and I have no idea how that influences your enjoyment, getting involved in the braedth or depth of game-play or the immersiveness of game-play. DF comminuty is horrible is again a subjective assertion, but it is a coarse community of very competitive and player-driven enthusiasts, much like a very competitive blue-collar American sports fan, rather than someone that is a fan of a broadway show.

    A critic is not essentially a negative expression. I am a critic of DF and I enjoy playing it despite flaws. I would like to see some features of the game done in different way and some things fixed. DF has atmosphere which all of modern MMO ( except EVE for which I don't have patience ) miss. Right now I know that this atmosphere won't be enough to keep me longer then a another month in the game.I will check how DF is doing in few next months.
