Looks like the server is down though. I'll check it again after lunch. Thanks for the stream though!

Uh, am I missing something or is this 20 minutes of you patching the client and surfing the eve forums?
I guess it's kinda funny
edit: heheh, it musta stopped to buffer as soon as the screen faded to black to load the game... I honestly thought it was just a vid of the patching process
Interesting. Graphics look decent, performance way better than FE at release. Is there no ingame music? Also, it looks quite empty in the cities considering it's just come out?
thanks this is what I was looking for =D
Server just went down
EDIT: Hard to tell from video how good it is, he was just walking around Dead LOL

Yeah, I had to commit suicide because I was stuck in water. I smell heavy fanboism.
No Fanboi here, just curious. DF was good for a few months until the Clan/City Polotics ruint it for me, was hoping MO was going to be even better. BTW I was Bartoni33 in your chat room.

I didn't get too see much of your stream.. being at work and all.
I'd love to see you write up some of your thoughts from the first day's play. Let us know the highlights.. performance etc.

I'm off for now. Stream will be up tomorrow again. I'll try to write something about my first impression.
GREAT! Looking forward to it!

I'd stream you guys what I'm doing in game but you'd be bored to shit watching me make countless crap swords and deleting them or macro gathering brown wood to sell. Game won't be exciting for a few days at least.

I thought they banned macroing and were running some detection program to catch macroers. I remember a big discussion about it, but stopped following a few weeks ago so I'm not sure if they changed the rules.
They really either need to make macroing legal to all.. or they better enforce any rules against it. Not macroing in Darkfall put me WAY behind the curve because everyone else was doing it...(even though it was against the rules..)

You know I'm not sure if it's legal or not, really the only things I have running to help out are an autoclicker so I can afk gather brown wood and tonight when I go to bed I plan to make my guy jump all night to raise that skill to 100.
Without gathering to get your base stats maxed I've been told you're far weaker, and really it only takes maybe an hour or two of afk gathering to get max strength and etc..

TBH I doubt what he saw were macros, just people with a lot of patience. I was watching one of those eerie mass-woodchopping things, and they all scattered pretty quick when PK'ers ran through.
edit: I can't say whether SV's macro detection works or not, but it's amazing how similar stat-grinders and bots operate.
Few people asked me to post my first impression about the game.
TL;DR = MO is very unpolished, especially the game mechanics. Graphics however looks partially really good. Server crashes every 15-20min, server-side lag was never experienced, client side performance is good, but may require some polish. UI is horrible and totally user-unfriendly. - I don't recommend purchasing the game atm, especially sensible people with a little spare time. The basic idea of this sandbox MMORPG is set. All it needs is polish and some more content.
Weather system looks really great! The clouds are moving around world. Weather is changing in real-time. This part adds a lot to the atmosphere.
Night/day cycle is well done. Yesterday shortly after launch it was night ingame. I hunted some pigs which live ~1km from Fabernum. After my bag was filled, I decided to go back to sell my stuff, but it midnight already, I could barely see anything. I had no idea where Fabernum lies. I walked around and returned back to the farm, there I met a player who was about to return to Faber and he had a torch! So I asked him if I can come with him, he gladly accepted and we started our adventure. Unfortunately he was a noob, just like me and we both got lost. After 20 minutes or so we finally returned to Faber.
(the server crashed shortly after that, though).
Graphics. The world of Nave is really beautiful, especially the large view range makes it special. The creatures look very detailed. The vegetations look awful, though.
However, I don't give much shit about the graphics, the most important part and most broken one are the game mechanics. Let's start with PvE. The mobs barely react to players, even if you hit them. Most of the time they just stand still and let you him them. Sometimes they try to run away, sometimes they hit back, but in the opposite direction. There's zero excitement fighting them.
Looting barely works(for few players it does, though). After login I can loot 1 mob, the following ones will fail. I'll have to relogin to loot another mob.
Performance. The server keeps crashing like every 15-20 minutes. It almost seems like the crashes are planned. This is really annoying, but we're only 2 days past release, so it's fine. There were worse MMORPG releases in the past. I never experienced any server-side lags. All my actions reacted really quick. Mobs/players never teleported around for me. This is a BIG +. Lag would be far worse than crashes.
Client-side performance is acceptable. All settings were set to max. (+ in NVidia CP). In cities with 30-50 players the FPS range was 40~75(75 due to VSync). At places with barely any players, the game runs at max. FPS (75), all the time. So I came to the conclusion that other players on screen consume pretty much performance. I think battles with 50vs50 or so would be pretty laggy for some people.
The world of Nave is really beautiful, but very empty. You have to travel a lot just to find any mobs. I think people who watched my steam can confirm this, since during the 4 hours 60% was walking, 20% server downs and remaining 20% actual gameplay.
The most important part is, the MO sandbox idea works and I think this place will soon become a new home for all the old-school UO players. All it needs is polishing FU***** ALOT OF POLISHING. During the last few months, MO was moving closer to what's written paper. Nowai this game is worth 50€/$ right now, though.
PS: I'm was long term hater(Jasdemi on MO forums). I never thought they'd come this far, but here we are. I actually bought their game and have some faith in this half-assed company, SV.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I will look for your stream again tomorrow to see if things get better.

Yes, it is illegal, they do have a system in place to detect it, and they do indeed ban.
That's good to hear. Let's see if their detection actually works as Bainwalker said he was macroing. Let us know if SV drops you an Email or a GM pops by.

Will do, I seriously doubt they will bother me because honestly all you need is 2 days of it to get the skills you want done.... and that's 2 days most.

Right.. but there are two benefits from macroing. One is the skill gain.. the other is the resources. I know folks in Darkfall that just have macro toons and they login a bank character every so often to grab and hold the reources.
If they can actually detect and ban folks for macroing that would be a big point in their favor.

So far their method of server down every 10 - 30 mins is proving to work, though really I think the only unatended macro I may run is jumping all night. Everything I've done with the autoclicker thus far has been with me activily there. I'll admit if they can't stop macro's we'll have a huge problem with overnight harvesters that just sit there gathering. (I did it for white wood last night and got 6 - 7 stacks before the server went down)
