Looking like a lot of fun! Been in denial about everything Darkfall, but recently my interest in the game keeps growing to a "close to buy it" level. This is the #1 runner-up on my list and Aventurine seem to have turned it alot.
But in many videos something about it is also looking so very awkward. I can't put my finger on it, perhaps it's the combination of animations and graphics (spells, no interaction with water, textures and low polycount etc). I can only assume that alot of them might be recorded with mid to low video settings, the prize of large scale pvp i guess.
I've seen some clips with moving trees, lot's of flora and also some great screenshots showing that the overall feeling in the game's world must be of epic ambience. To me it's like the game is looking different, from cheap to awesome in about every other clip.
Anyway, i'm very interested to see the way it evolves within the next 6-12 month.
I should imagine alot of PvPers turn down their settings to get as much FPS when in a large scale battle/siege, there are some really large scale battles in DFO we're talking 100's and it's playable with a decent rig and settings on low.

Nice video, already resubbed.
That were a awesome video.
Why cant AV also make some?
Wow a DF video that has some pve in it...cool beans
They don't need to? Other people appear to be doing a good enough job on their own.
adventurine has always let the community advertise the game .
The words of a player are 1000 times better then an offcial add.
Just take a look at WAR, they had an awsome ad campaighn, and it got them no where.

I'm just happy they're spending all their time on keeping the game together, I think Aventurine have got their focus right myself. Build a great game and they will come, flashy marketing or not. The video was awesome too.

Maybe they should change the visualls so that it doesnt look like a EQ 1 game then.
love the vid!

The graphics are quite good in game. AV has a very distinct style and the ingame atmosphere is unmatched.
Darkfall is a good and uniq game, and I think the visuals are just fine.
Some of you are playing other mmo's like Aion, and yes your game have better graphics. But what do you feel when you play your game.
-Do you often shout out loud in joy?
-Do you get angry enough to hit your keyboard, turn of your PC and go for a walk?
-Do you get the "rush" when the adrenaline is flowing through your body?
-Do you get the "shake" after a PvP encounter?
-Do you feel danger when you play your game?
No visuals in a game can give me this feeling, and that's why we like Darkfall. I used to play your kind of mmo's to relax, but I play Darkfall to have fun. Heck, just read the starter reviews, this game scares us.

When Aion will be able to hold 100 vs 100 battles without anyone crashing nor lagging too much. Come back here and say that.
Otherwise....NEXT!
In WoW top PVPers are playing on lowest settings, with only spell details on high for maximum performance, so i take it as normal for PVP videos to be on low settings, also bear in mind that they are using recording program which also lowers the fps.
On Topic: Great vid. Im waiting for my term test session to finish in end of january and im buying this game for sure. I've always wanted something like Darkfall, now it exists and i can't miss it. I read various stories and reviews every day and some of them even brought tears to my eyes to be honest

Aion has had the crash issue for over a year now and the developers haven't been able to narrow it down / find a fix for the problem. There solution was to offer more options to turn down the graphics to make the issue not happen as often. It's just the price you pay for high end graphics and developers that don't know how to clear out there graphics texture cache when textures are no longer in use.

Just asking because I don't know. Does Aion have Tab Targeting, Instancing, spell auto follow and auto attacking?

Yes to all of that.
And thats a big reason I consider Aion to be a PVE game, with minor pvp focus.

I can agree with you on that but the developers of Aion would disagree with us. They repeatedly say that its a PvPvE game with the focus being on large scale PvP in the abyss (that doesn't work by the way with the crazy amount of crashing and fortress flipping that occures).

Then Aion is inferior and should not be mentioned in the same breath as Darkfall.

Trust me when you have all the shadows, and AA set to max as well as everything else this game does not i repeat does not look like eq1 ive got a year old pc and i run max settings and get 40-60fps. They either had it turned down for the video capture or were running an older pc at the time. Also you have to think I just started and really havent gotten to any large scale battles yet but im sure I may need to turn things down a bit because when you have a crapload of people on screen things can get crazy.
