Does Anyone Actually Regret Buying DF:UW?

So I've read some good reviews, and some negative ones. And seen that there are any number of people on the fence about trying DF:UW since it has no triial and costs $40.
But my question is, does anyone that either pre-purchased the game or bought it after launch (both new players and returning DF1 vets) regret the purchase? In other words, you've already decided you'll never play DF again and wish you hadn't tried it?
If you are in this category (you own the game now but plan to never play again) - what was your reason for giving up on DF already? No need to give an 8 paragraph manifesto or full review, just a couple sentences.
Thanks for reading!

You will definitely find people that regret the purchase - it seems most people negative about this game are very vocal. I am definitely not one of them. I am absolutely addicted to this game like I haven't been to one in a while. I am a returning player who quit when the population got too low. The new changes are just great. Prowess system, etc. If you like the idea of full loot PVP with an open world map, get it. Get it now.
It is a really difficult game, so be prepared to put some time in to learn and be confused, but it is horribly rewarding and fun.
No regrets at all.
But I do know people who do regret, they went back to GW2 lol.
To each his own? Yep.
Some peopel just can't handle a brutal game like DF. And that's ok.
as much as i wanted this game to release i dont think it should of released yet.
I know people have bad launches but they opened the servers before giveing people a chance to download the game.
might of been better to release the patch/download a week before release....
I don't regret buying it since it was only 15 eu (df1 player), I regret spending some good evenings on "playing" it, instead of spending my time on something else.

Nope ,i had to get my own "hands on" experience.
Now without cheaters atm its close to what DF1 was,even tho this version is heavily dumbed down.
But if you ask "are you going to pay the sub for the next month"
my answer is no,i got what i wanted,they didnt improve their game so i cant expect them to improve it in the future either.
They have chosen their direction and i dont like it.

I often feel that way as well!
I played DF1 and I don't know what you're talking about! If you recall, in DF1 everyone would be running against walls overnight for many days to get their stats up!
Do you remember swimming against the pier to get your swimming / stamina up?!
This new DF2 has fixed all of those problems.
i was there from the day one and left when i could not watch sploiting anymore could not watch AVs response either.
If i remember right for example harvesting was not automatic action but they changed it so everyone could act like sploiters.
and they continued this to max,now in DF:UW we all have sploiters powers ,but i was hoping that they remove them.
i have played now 3 days and im one shotting everything that i see and i dont like it ,i do understand that some sploiter wants that kind of things but i dont.

Elaborate more please. You must leave the safe zone as fast as possible to take on better mobs. I hope you already know that.

exactly ,as fast as possible,but that was not the selling point of DF but it is for DF:UW.
im part of huge clan which makes things even easier if i wanted to but i dont want to,i really try to play this as orignal DF,but even that is impossible.

Haha true. I was going to buy a new suit this morning, but ended up in Agon.
Darn I hate the kill 150 npc quests, the grind to get pvp viable, the interface, some of the animations and probably more. But regret I bought the game, never. These games are just awesome. I`ll just quote Tristaryan
The game is damn good. I dare say its immersive, addictive, dangerous AND fun.
I had almost forgotten how scary it was to kill NPCs and harvest outside the safezone. How many times are you constantly listening to your environments when you farm in a normal mmo? The adrenaline rush of getting away from a ganksquad with hundreds of iron ore in my bag. The hands shaking when I won a close fight. The calmness of harvesting inside safezone. The fun of listening to clan mates in teamspeak.
I`ve had more fun in two days of Darkfall than my one month in GW2. But I`m old school, and I like these kind of games.
That mini poll a few pages back is a trap.
I didn't read what the guy said and clicked "No" because the conversation was about if we have regrets... But then read he's asking if we will continue the sub.
The answer is YES.
I played DF1 for 3 years from server up until server down. If you go back into the history of these forums you'll see I've made some pretty extensive threads supporting Darkfall for years. Even supporting the new game before it went into beta.
I won't touch DF:UW with a ten foot pole. The game is simply not in any way fun. It's an insanely unbalanced class warware/flavor-of-the-month PvP arena with no diversity. I mean if you're going to make a game with classes...why make one with only 4 and no differentiation of play-styles. There are literally only 4 choices. It's pathetic.
The game is slow and promotes skill-less PvP. Every person you see on these forums who was a "DF1 vet" who praises DF:UW was simply BAD at DF1. Like the prized Uzik. Honestly one of the worst long term players of Darkfall in the games history. But now he is the god of DF:UW because it has finally been dumbed down to the point where he can compete.
I haven't played DF:UW since December, I cancelled my sub, and I disputed the purchase of the game with my credit card because AV wouldn't give me a refund.
I highly suggest you stay away from DF:UW. The sooner it dies, the sooner there is a possibility of AV being bought out and DF1 being re-opened.

I present you exhibit B. A DF1 non-factor who loves the skill-less bland purgatory that is DF:UW. I've followed every patch and I've watched all the videos...it's all crap.
@OP, if you want a game with 4 classes (1 playstyle per class), no content to speak of besides a menu based point grind (yippee!), bland PvP, and an huge open world that is completely void of any interesting content....well then, this game is for you!
Save your money. $40 is a lot to blow on a game these days and DF:UW is absolutely not worth it.
