NA Server Transfers

WycliffeWycliffe Member Posts: 354

http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?p=3434920#post3434920

So the NA server is coming and there will be transfers.

Will we be able to keep ALL of skills, stats and whatnot and just lose our banks? I'm curious to know what I should be doing in the next few months.

My character is pretty new so I don't have amazing stats or anything, but my harvesting/crafting skills are definately making serious progress. Right now i'm lvling up my taming and have a bank filled with drakes.

Curious if I should keep lvling my wisdom, taming and herb or just join a zerg clan, hand out my drakes like party favors and go on a giant killing spree for the next few months.

Btw, congrats to Paragus1 for making the update! You deserve it man.

    Thanks man, although I am sure the trolls are already on their way to use this to further accuse me of being a shill etc.

    It's definitely an interesting situation.   It looks like if we want to be on NA server right at the start we will have to reroll.  If you are a new players starting on NA, it looks like you will have a few months to skill up before the transfer of powerful characters happens.   You can always keep playing on the EU server after the NA one opens up if you don't want to reroll.  I bet a lot of guilds will be talking among themselves today to try to plot the best course of action.   I know mine will.

    Here's an idea.

    Go find out what the word troll means in an internet context.

    Then people might actually take you seriously.

    Go derail someone elses thread. This one is meant for people who actually play the game and deciding what they'll do when NA server launches.

    I wouldn't've posted if Paragus hadn't said something stupid. *shrugs*

    You Darkfall fanbots bring it upon yourselves.

    There should be no transfers no starting advantages, or transfers to be set back to skills 0

    Be nice if DF had its own forums so you could just ask there and hear right from the horses mouth so to speak.

    pffft why can we just post a reply to what the OP said and not start .. again some stupid war, bashing.. well  "I am sure the trolls".. man that didnt need to be said all you did was become one that knows hes right yet the others are wrong and toss something in to bate others .. piss them off..

    That would defeat the purpose of a transfer wouldn't it?

    not really i dun wanna start on a new server first day of launch and have maxed skilled players killing all the noobs,  server launch should be a free for all and not a head start for transfers,  or make transfers available 1 month from launch with all their skills intact

    That's the kind of communication the Darkfall community needs.  There's a lot of promise in there.  Hopefully, Aventurine can live up to it.

    I still think the macro program issue is ambiguous, though.  In once sentence, Tasos says:

    "The only types of programs allowed are chat communication programs and screenshot-video capture programs.", which would rule out any macro programs, or at least those not used for chatting.

    vs.

    "Unattended macroing and unattended use of autorun and swimming against obstacles are also prohibited."

    This would imply that attended macroing is allowed, although how that would be done without 3rd-party software is a question (gaming keyboards, perhaps?).

    Regardless, i'm happy to see Aventurine taking a public stance against macroing, in general, although I hope they continue to improve their design in order to make macroing irrelevant.  I'm happy about the stance against loot scripts, geometry exploits (so much for those excuses about using "terrain" to your advantage), too.

    I might actually bother to pay for a a month, now that my first month is running out, to see how things go.

    Probably too long to copy here, but I have it on my forums as well.   See if your work block THIS link.

    sadly this will be after my free month is up.  too bad because the terrible ping and not being allowed in game untill cheaters had already taken over were 2 of the things that really bugged me.  a fresh start would be nice, however it will be either too soon (cheats/hacks not fixed making things still unbalanced) or too late (at least for me).

     

    too bad.  I hope another game takes the good features from this game and puts them into something I could enjoy.

    Everything creates huge amounts of negativity on the internet, that's what the internet is for: Negativity, porn and lolcats.

    They are making transfers delayed by a month or so.

    One of the best posts Tasos has ever made. 

    That is the type of post he should have been making from day 1.  Hopefully Aventurine will live up to the promises that he made in that post.

     

    Namely these:

    • Starting today, players exploiting the geometry will receive temporary bans which for repeat offenders will escalate to permanent bans. 
      • So that policy will apply to EVERYONE... right?  Even the big guilds that are currently doing it?

     

    • Also, starting today we will detect and take action against any use of loot scripts.
      • If this is indeed true... a large portion of the player-base will be having to re-learn how to loot again.

     

    • Unattended macroing and unattended use of autorun and swimming against obstacles are also prohibited. 
      • Unfortunately there was no "penalty" listed for choosing to do the unattended macroing. So perhaps the DarkFall Coorespondant here on mmorpg.com was correct when he said that unattended macroing is something that won't get you banned, and that if you want to do it, "...go ahead."  www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/2817510#2817510    Not sure why Tasos said it was prohibited, but then didn't list any kind of a penalty for doing it, but at least he made it a bit more clear that it is considered prohibited.

     

     

    One main thing I'll have to call B.S. on Tasos for though:

    • We don’t want to create any problems by allowing too many new users in. This is why we have no boxes in the market, why we haven’t been promoting the game, why our new site isn’t up yet, why we don’t offer a free trial, why we don’t offer more payment options etc.
      • Ahh... so the main reason the web-site hasn't been updated is because you don't want "too many new users".  Heh... nevermind the fact that some of those "new users" wouldn't be attracted to DarkFall in the first place if all the Features NOT currently IN the game were in fact NOT advertised as being IN the game!  

     

    Anyway, as I said... all in all a pretty good post by Tasos.  He still has his fair share of B.S. inter-laced throughout the post, but it is definitely a step in the right direction... IF they follow-through with what he said they will do.  "Starting today..."

    Looks like they're going with delayed transfers. I always thought of it as the best form of transfer for fresh start players and for the ones who only started to play on the european server to be able to transfer eventually.
