    I will go into more detail later but there is not a "panic mode" happening, no one is nuking all negative threads on the forums. All anyone has to look at is a few posts in any thread, there is tons of negativity, forumfall is one of the most critical and loosely enforced boards out there.

     

    The people getting infractions are deliberately trying to derail the OFFICIAL discussion thread. Or starting new discussion threads on the same topic

     With only 2 posted, you must be upset about something to come here from the Darkfall forum to post here.Are you a Dev by chance? If so you might to want to listen to your fan base..image

    Mod Edit.. A word from a wise person..You dont bite the hands that feed you!image

    I retired retroactively..Haha

    Hey Agent oranje Hows it feel to be such a moron that you've made the situation 10 times worse by deleting threads and posts the community posted voicing their displeasure with AV. You've angered enough people that now more have cancelled their subbs and come here to a even more public broad reaching forum. Was this your intention you moron? What you can't delete threads here? ohhhh noooo. This isn't 1940 Germany son!

    AV has destroyed this game with all it's BS promises and lies and they should answer to the community for it and be held accountable. People are speaking with their wallets that's why the game is failing and AV is going to lose everything when InternetQ takes over and punts TACOS out on his ass. I just hope they can find a real company to take it over and redo it into what it should have been.

    Well my post was deleted as well, and it was no negative attack AV post either. I just said, after the latest update, that I won't resub for now, and come back  and check it out once they put more content in. At least I wasn't banned. But deleting posts like that just doesn't make any sense, and makes you wonder bout a "panic mode".

    They took Darkfall, an EPIC PvP focused, one of the last few games which FORCED you to be social (Politics, Player Based Economy, Trading) and turned it into a console game.

    Do I really need to say anything more about why we are pissed?

    I think the reasons why they are deleting all the threads is because it's a PR nightmare now, and they got funding from some other company to get it done, and failed ... super hard.

    The only thing they could do now is sell it to EA, only they could make it worse.

    The rude awakening is that they turned on the community instead of listening. Deleting posts and silencing critics is much easier than fixing the game. You might not have seen it since the thread was deleted, but he posted that the mods were instructed to crack down on dissenters by AV.

     

    That's agent being agent. He shouldn't be a mod I agree, but hes been doing this since he was made a mod. He doesn't do it at the order of AV, he just doesn't like any flaming period. He should quit/get fired. He suspended me for "spamming"

    Now, some of the posts I've seen him delete were just trolling/flaming. Others were deleted for BS reasons. But its JUST HIM. 

    No its not just him.  I have seen the MODS there say they were directed to delete various posts.  I may even have quoted it last night I don't recall.

    Pretty much this.

I was branded a troll because I replied to a MOD and asked him to stop locking/deleting/banning, because it will do much more harm than good. And I was suspended for 30 days. Everybody has to agree with everything AV says or does? Not only agree, but praise them? And DFUW?

     

    Long time supporters and fan boys are getting their posts deleted, simply by stating that they are unhappy with what Tasos said today. This has seriously got to stop!

     

    AV: You will never be successful or respected by any player when you exhibit such extreme behavior! You have been at this for 12+ years and you still refuse to interact with us as if you were all in this together, rather than this is your game and we are just cattle.

     

    I want Darkfall to succeed, but it will not. And not because its Darkfall, but because AV is at the helm.

     

    @AV: WAKE THE FUCK UP!

    Then wtf are you doing there? just leave them alone, if all people like you left already instead of complaining all the time, AV would be off duty already for the inability to produce a playable mediocre mmorpg imo.

    This is simply a lie.

     

    I have seen entire threads deleted.  There weren't "official" anything.  One was from a newer players looking for people's opinions thinking of playing the game on the Darkfall Public Forums sections.  Yes, there were a fair amount of DF1 players that never liked DFUW but there were also plenty of DFUW players (that like it or both version) that were just stating their opinion as they saw it.

     

    I can name others but why bother?

    Many of the games players enjoy part of the game and are trying to get AV to fix the problems.  For people that want to or are paying for the game there is no reason they shouldn't voice their opinion.  

     

    For those that moved on with no intent of coming back well then yeah I sort of agree.  I suppose they are still upset.

    InternetQ owns 40% of AV with the option to buy controlling interest in AV.

    They only have 2 options, #1 ask AV to stop the loss by shutting the doors and recover as much lost money as possible by selling the platform or #2 buy controlling interest if AV refuses option 1 and force the closure of AV and sell the platform to another gaming company as a partner in hopes of developing it into a revenue generating game or sell it flat out and take whatever cash they can get to recover their loss on investment.

    InternetQ share holders, which is a public London exchange traded company, only care about the share price and how this fiasco effects it.

    Maybe Agent oranje can join Tacos on the unemployment line in Greece. Hey you never know maybe Tacos will start a kick starter to make another game lol.

    I opened a ticket for what it's worth to AV complaining about the mods deleting threads and that I quit Darkfall over this issue after paying them to beta test since 2008.

    You are not the first I have seen do that (minus the ticket).

     

    I just want to add.  I am not saying (I don't believe other are either) that mods shouldn't delete replies to a thread that get off topic or that get abusive.  I think they need to delete abusive posts in general as I feel they drive away the educated and intellectual players.

     

    That aside the issue is them delete entire threads with legitimate complaints and issues with the game.

    Or deleting entire threads instead of replies when a few idiots try and derail a discuss because otherwise almost all threads over there would get deleted.

    AV should look into how many people unsubbed yesterday of this? I'm sure there is a huge spike all of the sudden that is leaving AV scratching it's heads after such an awesome update from TACOS. Look no further AV then your Mods for the spike of people canceling their accounts.

    It is more complicated than that.  I am sure some yes but there are other things going on.

     

    The balance patch created a shift with no respec.  Duelist patched shift power even more.

    Asian Darkfall is free and heavily populated due to it just releasing.  Many have more faith in that company?  Also, some asian and aussie player would prefer it just on ping alone.

    There are a number of other issues as well.  Performance in sieges.  Random ping spikes.  Holdings need more meaning.  Land based pve needs more meaning.  There needs to be something to fight over on land. etc.

     

    Claus's moment letting people know there is hope and worry about finances.  Helped?  Hurt?

    Etc.

    Downloading the client right now. Follow the steps use a google translator if you need to.

    What's left of my clan has now left NA and are on the asian server. A few have come back that quit months ago and are playing there as well. We're done with NA forever. We'll see how the asain server lauch goes and what changes Mgame puts in. The only hope is that InternetQ forces a sale of the game engine to a new publisher to recoup the money it's lost in this partnership with AV.

    Too bad the mods don't care what the community has to say and AV doesn't implement what they promised months and years ago. The Community is fed up with the constant disappointment in a game they really care about and hoped would be df1/df2010 plus more. Instead AV lies to us and burns us over and over and expects us to support them. Then when we tell them were sick of it they delete what we have to say about their actions. They don't want to be held accountable and in the end have no one to blame but themselves for the repeated failures.

    I don't know why they would. This thread is full of honest opinions about a bad game. We need to get the word out there so people don't buy a game that they are going to hate.
