bye bye macro against the wall
You are now required to hit a valid target to gain skill in archery
Skill progression in spells requires the caster to hit a valid target

Awesome no more retards shooting arrows and spells into the air to skill up.

Playing: EvE, Ryzom
Easily the best patch notes i have seen yet. great work AV.
Now i can actually specialize in archery and not every monkey who stands against a wall can be as high as me
i know there are players that have already got a high skill from doing this but ill just have to live with that 
And some of the more neglected spells seem to have had an upgrade too, wont be just a MM fight
Best patch notice to ever hit mankind, so far : )
Should be MUCH easier to skill up now. I am curious if hitting yourself with magic splash damage will work for skilling up.

So, basically, they are telling players waiting to join not to do, because they are not going to have a chance against the macroers that arrive first?
So basically, target practice is useless? If I go to a shooting range to shoot at the wall where there's a target dummy, I won't get better at it? All these years I've been wasting my time? Thanks for ruining my life AV!
Good move. But I do have to point out, that the MMOs they are attempting to emulate, solved this 10 years ago.

True but at least they are listening, give them that plz bloodworth. I know you are a leet critic of every mmorpg and all that, but at least they listen, I do not know that many devs that emulate that.
Easily one of the best patches. The grind was unbereable damn, hopefully it will be significantly faster to skilll up now, and you have to get out there and DO SOMETHING to gain it.
Crafting is also quicker, good on that too.
Game is heading in the right direction.
*looks into crystal ball*
I predict that prices of accounts of Darkfall players with high stats sold on e-bay will sky-rocket after this patch..........
Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
I'm just going to say:
I thought this didn't happen, and no one has ever seen anyone do this but once. It was a completely overblown rumor started by the "Haters".
Whats up?

They are making good efforts, considering the resources.

Wooot I'm not playing darkfall and i doubt I'll play it, but is really a big step in the right direction. Good job.
this is so sweet....
My blog:
Wish they would have added more mobs or increase the spawn rate. Every mob spawn i checked was pretty packed close to the starter areas. Usually people are always coming and going, now they're camping them. I do it too, not complaining about people camping, just not enough mobs for everyone to skill up. Just my first impression. things may settle down.
See you in the dream..
The Fires from heaven, now as cold as ice. A rapid ascension tolls a heavy price.
Definitely a step in the right direction. Let's hope that AV continues to realease patches like this.
well yes because before this patch u dint get any damage from earth quake now you do get damage ... so no more piramid rigor party
BestSigEver :P
I wantss that!
*steals ball*
My precioussss!
on topic; seems like a smart patch. War on the macroers indeed. I hope that Mortal Online devs are paying close attention
My brand new bloggity blog.
Good game development progression, which is what is expected and experienced with each and every other mmo. Glad to see the game-play improvements.

True enough... but at least they've addressed it. It's a step in the right direction. Gotta give 'em that much.
and the cash shop selling asphalt..." - Mimzel on F2P/Cash Shops
Yup step in the right direction. (Hang on odd feeling saying that for DF). I need a comeback... hang on... *fumbles around*
Ah here it is.... BUT gods this was painfully obvious. What did they do with the beta testers feedback ? Shit on it and set fire to it and lol a whole lot ?!?!?!
Now, if only i could buy the game. I actually tried to yesterday, however all 3 of my credit cards (with 3 different banks) failed to work. I got some sort of transaction error or something, call you bank or wait till later.
Not sure if the store was just not working correctly (or not actually up, because it was 7 pm ET) or did I really need to call my bank/cc company?
Who the hell are you, and why should I care?
Congrats! You are a victim of Trollstar!

Didn't you post that in another thread about a group of people using the exploit they took out today?
There's a word I'm looking for...
Hypocrit?
I guess it's not exploting as long as it's your method of exploiting.
BTW,
I was asking them to do this over 2 months ago.
Beta testers were saying it before that.
I really don't get how a company can not take action to fix something that is so very obvious, and that the playerbase repeatedly points out to them over the course of many months, and then get praised for making the change.
There's no reason for this to not have been fixed before the game was release.
I see no reason for praise at this point.
It's too late for the EU server, the damage is done - when things like this get "fixed" without the possibility of a rollback it only hurts new players.. they have successfully created a large gap between the old and the new. only the eventual US server will benefit from this
