Looks great. Character and Armor models are probably the weakest aspect of the game, and the first thing players complain about. As long as it doesn't effect gameplay I think its outstanding. Glad to see armor and character models are finally looking to be on par with the outstanding world environments.
Hopefully the art team will hit up animations next.
I'm glad they're upgrading character models, but the game world isn't that shnazzy and I think it needs some work too :-/ If anything, I think the character models were pretty cool, I just wasn't too fond of the land quality. Haven't played in a while so I might be thinking of old news.
The character models and animations are one of the biggest reason why I wont try DF so thats a step in the right direction. Sadly the awfull community (aka religouse fantaics) and the lack of interesting lore or PvE content is still there.
actually the PVE is one of the strongest features of Darkfall. the AI lived up to the idea of being like Quake/Unreal bots that seem so smart sometimes that you wonder if a dev or GM is taking control of them and fighting you.
its not a grind to fight these mobs. best PVE of any MMO by far.
the lore is par for the course, just very light on it compared to most MMOs.
you are right somewhat about the community. gotta expect that in PVP focused games. many people extend the gameplay PVP to verbal PVP and argue and fight over anything.
I cannot agree more that the community is like dealing with a bunch of 13 year old boys who were left home by their parents for the weekend (no offence to the 13 y.o. population out there). If I have to hear about how big their male parts are again or having them ranting some homophobic/racist remarks to each other everyone will end up on my ignore list.
The AI is great and I love how the mobs use the environment to their advantage as well as they are more than happy to take those amazingly long shots at you as you run from them. I played Fallen Earth for a few months and their AI was something that is pretty basic. I would like to see them take on the AI of Darkfall.

A marriage of Fallen Earth and Darkfall's best concepts would be amazing. They could both learn a lot from each-other.

Nothing wrong with the game world graphics wise, especially for a seamless world the size of Darkfall. Get yourself a computer than can do it justice.
