i wonder how combat works in this. do you spend 12 pages describing how your character's dressed, and then the other person counters by taking a 4 hour bath?

qft
or they could use ads- that saved Shadowbane. the…

i'm just confused by the long term strategic benefits. it seems like just codified WoW UI mod cooldown sync. i might be wrong, because i haven't unlocked all 5 bars/slots, but what's the point of forcing people to switch bars to use a cooldown? a…
no you're right, after reading up on it i can see its a pretty new concept; i just didn't understand it in game because the interface is so completely fucknut strange, especially the skill bar (which i see now as a potentially cool mechanic, though …
i think most people assumed initially that they would IP block clients like most of the azn games do. i got suspicious when i saw the redirect though lol
you can beat TCOS IP block easily, i'm pretty sure the posts about beating the registration system are on the first page still; there's no block on the client itself. but yeah, IP block is dumb sometimes. as someone who played post-f2p Shadowbane,…
i can confirm that a web based proxy outside of NA works fine to register/play. haven't tried just a regular open proxy. if you're looking for lists of these, just go to wikipedia and look up "proxy lists", i'm sure admins will delete the public l…

I did not say you could do that in Darkfall. I am saying this is an example of the extremely tedious and boring things gankers will do if they have to.
See the point?
You may replace "grinding green mobs" with absolute…

You're going to go off in the woods, by yourself, and grind on green mobs over and over until you max level, just so you can gank lower level players? Yep.
I couldn't do it, but for some people it's a piece of cake…
a lot of people are pissed from when Shadowbane was still a p2p game, and even from before. i did the beta, and a lot of the things the devs promised never made it in (i only betad the last 3 or 4 months, and it was pretty clear a lot of the featur…
OP is basically 100% right
i only disagree slightly, and then only with the idea that everyone will be happy about DF's successful release. the companies developing any kind of clone that has been dubbed "next-gen" because of shader X+1 graphics …

What I'm having a hard time understanding is how the devs could make such a great game, yet be utterly incompetent at putting it in the hands of people who want to pay them to play it.
i think i'm with you there, …
no, unless we get a discount for unused time. i don't think i could squeeze that much playtime in, but if it's priced comparably to other games, that's unfair from a business standpoint
i guess vanilla PVE game + saturated market - the UO faithful that Garriot effectively gave the cold shoulder to - (in the last month) Garriot himself = failure for this game
good riddance imo, but it's good that the company had the common decency…
i define griefing as sensitive people getting upset over trivial things. there really isn't any behavior online that can't be resolved with, as the OP said, log out and come back, or other player to player action. disassembling the game code and u…
nobody "invented" it, it's the result of using the same 37 year old system of RNG conflict resolution. you roll a nat 20, you hit the goblin. you kill the goblin, it's worth 100 xp, you need 400000 more to level
what's bad is that we're still us…
[quote] have been a gamer since the early 80's and love the MMO concept, yet every MMO I play it will have say 20 servers that are PVE and 1 or 2 that are PVP and those servers are usually on medium or low load.
So why are there so many games bein…
