Darkfall FREE weekend + fast skill progression + Phat loot
From the darkfall blog head developer Tasos left the following message:
-
In two weeks, every Darkfall account will be reactivated to participate in a free weekend with accelerated skilling and great loot.
More details on this next week, along with a development update.
-
Most likely this is happening becouse they will finnaly have some real news (most likely a eta) about the hyped expansion darkfall 2.0 wich should fix all problems, add alot more content, improve visuals and would make the game alot more enjoyable for everyone instead of the 24/7 hardcore gamer.
Comments
Nobody cares man, a few years old failed game, with the slowest development team ever, with poor comunication skills, and a game full of problems that exist since day one is never gonna get up.
Thats why its still up and running?
Yes AV isnt the best but if you have played the game for some time you can easily see this game has ALOT of potentional and it is AV that created that.
Whe are playing a beta afterall
Awesome! I'm actually excited to try DFO again.
sweet! I've been thinking of coming back.
I'll probably try it again, but not looking forward to the first day setting up all my binds again, then writing autohotkey macros from scratch. Wish I had those backed up.
a lot of potentional with slowest development team in the history of MMO gaming, hands down.
That last patch almost got me playing again, and if they had just did that patch last year (since 99%of that shit we have been asking for since beta) darkfall would another 5k+ subs.
I heard they are going to do a wipe with 2.0 so whats the point.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
I hope they plan to take all inactive characters out of storage prior to the free time, or this weekend will be full of fail. Considering it's av...they won't, and it will be.
What do you mean take all inactive out of storage?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Darkfall as a game, its you and so many gamers who wanne play Darkfall themepark style and with savezones and holdhands.
Darkfall was for hardcore but it seems these days only ezmode fluff horny gamers left who cry whole day when there pked/ganked in a game that i suppose to pk/gank.
You gamers have destroyed this genre not AV.
Hope to build full AMD system RYZEN/VEGA/AM4!!!

Well then. Looks like I shall re-download the game to my new system. Maybe having 200 more FPS will help with my RL skill problems.

The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
Awesome! i never deinstalled the game, i seriously love the game, i just don't have enough time to actually enjoy Darkfall apart from holidays
With all the veterans having max skills at everything and AV still doing absolutely nothing about people macroing skills 24/7, I can hardly see a reason to come back, even though I do like the basic game mechanics.
Would also love to see them greately improve the UI to the point where using third-party software to make it useful is possible. If those are in, I'll consider coming back...

QFT.
Broken game does not equal = " for the hardcore"
Shooting in to the sky for skillgains
Shooting AFK players againsts a wall for skillgains
Shooting stationary mobs
Shooting mobs agro'd on unreachable mounts for skillgains (still currently being used 24/7)
Shooting mobs stuck/spwn'd in or on geometry for skillgains (still currently being used 24/7)
Macro'ing againsts a trial account (still currently being used 24/7)
it was Aventurines fault for not addressing most of these issues for the first year+ that caused the players to call for semi-safe zones that they could skill up as intended.
Like I stated before, as a vet I did all those things because you either did them and competed or got rolled plain and simple, and the first two years there wasnt a vet player who didnt.
Fantastic idea and I do love Darkfall but a perfect example of how not to run a MMO and in fact destroy your game by Aventurine.
When you don't play for a couple months, they put your character into a seperate memory storage. And you have to contact support to get them out.
You must be in complete denial. People who wanted darkfall in the first place knew it was full loot. They knew it was ffa. I'm sure some people quit because of getting griefed for hours, but everyone knows what there getting into when they buy darkfall. Where are all of these supposed people who thought Darkfall was a themepark wow game? Oh, thats right, no one ever did. That was the reason this game had buzz in the first place.
People quit darkfall because of all the exploiting, all the grind, all the balance issues, no skill cap, lack of sandbox features, lack of gameplay options, horrible coding (no multi-core support?!), bad ui, and av's incompetence. Not because they wanted it to be "wow".
"Darkfall FREE weekend + fast skill progression + Phat loot...."
....that someone will take from you in five seconds. Noice.
"TO MICHAEL!"
then DF isn't for you, sir. Oh btw, your quote says.."Aaron Rogers > Brett Favre" yet you have a pic of Mike Vick as your avatar? Are you a MV fan or just wanted all of us to know that AR is better than BF who is retired? Your quote and pic are confusing.
Playing: BF4/BF:Hardline, Subnautica 7 days to die
Hiatus: EvE
Waiting on: World of Darkness(sigh)
Interested in: better games in general
I resubbed a couple of months ago just to judge the state of the game. It was under populated. The meditation system was a nice addition for people who don't want to swim against the dock for months. but not nearly as affordable a method. They allow you ot learn all magic schools now, and I feel that just makes the level gap even wider. I enjoy the concept of this game, but early on the exploiters ruined this game for me.
"I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!"
Yeah, tried it at launch; recently saw this promo and the title. Not sure how far I'd get on a weekend going up against people already pimped out. Any items and "phat loot" you gain can be taken away immediately so.. yep, don't see the point really. /shrug
OT: as far as my avatar:
"Aaron Rogers > Brett Favre" yet you have a pic of Mike Vick as your avatar?" Yes I do.
"Are you a MV fan.. Yes I am.
or just wanted all of us to know that AR is better than BF who is retired? The avatar has nothing to do with the picture anymore than your avatar about "Ugly People" have to do with your quote of "Deeds, not words". Just opinions people have. Many times avatars and quotes don't have to go together.
"TO MICHAEL!"
You must have played very briefly then, bud. Any items that are "taken away" (lol @ how you put that) from you when you first start playing are going to be nothing more than Goblin drops and ore/wood/mounts. Far from phat loot or anything that cannot be quickly and easily replaced. Remember you have to bank often? It's been that way since UO, right?
On topic: this is a cool promo and all, but with the looming wipe (which we don't know even know how light or heavy it will be) coming with DF 2.0, I'm not sure this was a great time to offer this. Personally as much as I love the game, I'm not playing very often as I'm not sure if whatever I'm doing will be a complete waste of my time. AV needs to clarify what sort of wipe will come when DF 2.0 launches. They should have already made an announcement or simply never mentioned a wipe in the first place.
"Mr. Rothstein, your people never will understand... the way it works out here. You're all just our guests. But you act like you're at home. Let me tell you something, partner. You ain't home. But that's where we're gonna send you if it harelips the governor." - Pat Webb
So the notion of "coming back" for three days as an underpowered guy who'll immediately get robbed of all the "Goblin drops and ore/wood/mounts" doesn't appeal to me at all.
Which is pretty much the point. If you can get 'phat loot' in two days and have it taken away in the third day... I fail to understand the activity.
"TO MICHAEL!"
I'm sure they will since they say they are reactivating all expired accounts. I'm going to be pissed if I have to contact support to play my character but last time I resubbed after a few months I didnt have to do that so we will see.
Just bank your shit, it's really not a big deal.
If you're farming a spawn that has any assholes hanging around, use one of the player created maps to locate another spawn. Agon is one the biggest worlds that the genre has ever seen. It's not much of a challenge to relocate somewhere cozy and quiet. In my first 3 months I must have moved like 7 times. Exploring is a big part of this game. You really have to use a lot initiative in this game.
