How did so many people get sucked into feeding this troll.

I got accpeted into the beta, and tried installing from Torrent, and Download.  It errors out every time trying to install.  Fail is as fail does.

The situation with Darkfall is beyond comical at this point.

Here we are at about three weeks (please don't try to suggest they'll launch during Christmas week) before the supposed "open beta + release" and all they're willing to show is a "daily preview" done by the dev's close personal friends?

This is their idea of throwing their supporters a bone? Seriously? 

Oh, and the Darkfall fans better hope there's something wrong with the first screenshot because if that's how the graphics look in-game, all the non-fanboys are going to have a field day.

this post has a very distinct odor of rotting troll.

Flaws....

1. Games won't release the week of Xmas.  Wrong.  It's been done by publishers befor.  Why would this title be different,  Just because its an MMO?  Kids are out of school.  Seems like a great time to lauch a game.

2. Have you honestly looked at the newest screenshots?  Looks better then WoW, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, and a dozen of other MMOs that are alive and kicking, and/ or under production.

3. All the NON-Fanboys are going to have a field day?  By this You mean TROLLS.   By Troll I mean people who honestly don't plan to play the game, and just want to torment,  make statements that are completely irrelevent, or false.(LIKE the Comment I quoted)  You think they haven't been saying the same crap all along?  Aside from the Vaporware crap,  Nothing has changed for trolls.  Different games get the same Troll responce.  "Graphics suck"  "It won't be finished" "Pay to Beta"  mobo jumbo. 

The communities outcries have almost NO significance to the production of this game.    IF they CAN release the game in time they will,  if they can't.   They WONT. 

Trolls laughing, and Fanboi's crying, changes NOTHING.

Why to compare to WoW?. Not all play it, and also i see WoW like shitty copy of Eq...

And afterall i guess 90% of MMO is same.... You go kill monsters/get quests to kill more monster, you get lvl, you get better gear, you repeat it countless times till you reach endgame and then go pvp.

Really WoW is same as most, but it took advantage of Warcraft tittle and good marketing. With their money they could have created something more Greater and Massive. But no... they created some shitty game and put it to market to steal money...

Also about graphics: wanna something good? Get outside, travel a bit.. You will see really nice graphic without any bugs... In my opinion games shouldnt be critized by their graphics (what if game have good graphics and nothing other to offer...)

I hate this crap.   X copied Y.   Well if you want to get technical ALL MMO's copied off MUD's(TEXT BASED GAMES).   Everyone compaires to WoW because WoW has more subscriptions then amost EVERY other MMO combined.     THIS IS why everyone compairs everything to WoW.  Like it or not WoW is the most sucessful MMO ever.  

I wouldn't compair myself to somebody in the special olympics.  "I almost beat a special olymics record!!" woohoo.  

If you can't figure out why,  or understand that people are going to do this, over and over again; deal with it.

Anyone got an extra to spare?  I'd really like to get involved in this game.

Please of wise one,  grace us with your knowledge.  I don't know how many more days I can take the suspence.   My mind tells me longer waits for such a game, but my heart wants to tell me it will be soon.  I'm so conflicted.

FFS,  what ever happened to Public Relations.   IF it's going to be delayed, the do it already.  I understand that people prolly watch the website and talk about the game more when they thing it will release soon, but come on this is your player base your abusing.  Hook a brother up.

I've said it for years,  Blizzard is the best company doing what they do.   They are the benchmark.  Their product may not be the product for everyone, but they produce the highest quality, and functional MMO, ever.    They don't do EVERYTHING better then everyone else, but they do a lot of things VERY VERY WELL.   I won't return to World of Warcraft,  but I can still agree, that it is a great game.   Blizzards NEXT MMO will be the only WoW killer.   Starcraft MMO anyone?  Ohhh I gotta chubby just thinking about it.

 

That's funny.  So if their next MMO flops will you eat your words? 

Blizzard is just another company.  They've produced games I like and games I don't.  No company will ever produce solid hits.

 

Wrong. Tell me a game from Blizzard that has not been a hit. Blizzard isn't just "another company". From my point of view there is : Blizzard and others ...

Exactly.  Blizzard gave us some of the first Player On Player action with Warcraft 1,  Be it only Dailing up to your friends computer.   Blizzard has made and broken nearly every benchmark of Online Gaming.  There is no other 4 companies that could combine to accomplish what blizzard has, and its by far and away the most wealth game developer.  I SAID DEVELOPER.  EA might have more money, but they arn't the same kind of company.  EA makes a killing from its console sales.

Yeah I agree unreal engine, ugghh this is gonna be terrible.

 

Unreal Engines power some of the best looking games out.  Gears of War2 uses Unreal Engine. 

 

Gears of War 2 is made by the same people that wrote Unreal 3 so they aren't using someone else's engine, every system running it has identicle hardware, it only has 10 people maximum in multiplayer and is probably chock full of load screens.

I don't think you fully understand how the engine is being used.  But.  Unreal Engines power some of the great looking MMO's.

No thanks.

 

I'd argue that Ultime Online had the best crafting system ever invented in an MMORPG and that includes all of these new ones.

I've never seen another game where you could literally stick a sheep in your house, wait for it's wool to grow, shear it, spin it, weave it and then sew it in to clothing, dye it and then transport it on your own ship and then even sell it on your own vendors (to other players) in your player owned tents and houses.

It had full pvp looting of course.

Your logic is completely flawed - loss of goods through pvp actually creates market demand to replace it.  It's a GOOD thing for trade skills.  Now compare this to WoW... You've got the most awesome Axe of Pwning from The Biggest Badass Boss and you can never lose it... ever... for any reason.  Why would you buy another from a player?

OMFG nail on the head. 
 

WITHOUT FULL LOOT,  CRAFTING is just a Gimick to keep you busy befor you quit.

Not necessarily, decay ala pre-cu swg works fine too, of course a system with both implemented makes for a crafters paradise, but full looting isn't the only way to make crafting useful.

It's tried, and true.  It works.   Unlike other methods, it puts the responsiblity in the players hands.   If you travel with good gear in places where known dangers abound...   Hey let face it,  you don't walk the streets of new york late at night with a 50k Rolex.

anarchy online was not particularly good, why would you want a version 2 of it?

Full loot does some interesting things.  

1. It makes people accountable for their attitude.   If your a jerk,  I can just pillage your gear, given I can kill you. 

2. Stimulates Economy.  If people arn't using their tradeskills, or buying / selling goods,  then the game will become very 1 demensional.   Having full loot goes hand and hand with economy.  Look at UO.  UO had a great system.  Vendors were well used,  and the NON PVP'er could make a good living avoiding confrontation and crafting wares.

3. Increases Risk / Reward.  If  everyone wanted to play a game where they could just die, respawn and repeat, they could play Call of Duty or some other console game.

I find that people have become more and more carebear over the years, as more and more games cater to the wims of wimps.   The fact of the matter is,  Full Loot will make this game different from dozens of other games, and that MIGHT be why some less skilled players opt to play something a little more childish.  I for 1 was not looking forward to this game untill I found out it was full loot.

The game is decent at best.

The gameplay isn't anything new.  Its very Repetitive.  The RvR is good, but flawed.  Mythic can fix the problems with this game, but I don't see them addressing the fact that there are very real problems.

This game basicly offers NOTHING to players who would decide to try WoW or Warhammer for the first time.   WoW would be the better game to play.   Now for players who are tired of WoW,  Warhammer will be fun for a few months, but ultimately is very much the same MMO everyones been playing. 

Overall I give it a 6/10

Kill scenarios. Merge servers. Retool PQs to be PvE and PvP. Problem solved. :)

You would still have problems.   Classes are balanced because the other factions have the same charactors.  BASICLY Sorcs are the same as Bright Wizards.  They work exactly the same.  Yeah the AoEs are slighting different, but if you can play one you can play the other.  So in reality, theres like 5 classes.  And The paper rock sissors effect is TOO previlent,  If your class is strong at beating tanks,  thats fine, but being able to beat ANY tank thats +/- 8 levels.   Thats too extreme.

I gotta AGREE.  Warhammer is too EZ-mode.   Theres no COmplexity to combat.    IF I'm debuffed its laughable.  Who cares?  The decent debuffs can't even be removed.  The ones that can arn't worth the time it takes to remove them.

Who exactly ?
Old members of MO forums ? Or newest incomers ?
The second ones already started to whine.

 

I would say, A great deal of BOTH.  There are a few people who are just Forum Warriors anyway that will not whine, but I think everyone would be disappointed if the game didn't release as expected.

They're all gone.   IF anyone can send me a friend key, I would be greatly appriciative.

I'm going to make a wild guess, and say that they will delay the release.  I've been waiting for one MMO or another for the last 10 years.  Odds are it will delay..... again....
