No, they are strongly looking into item looting because there are a ton of players asking for it on the official forums. On the FFA servers the only safespots will be the towns and that is it.

 

There shouldn't be ANY safespots except for guild cities.

And yes, there should be item looting...but most of the replies to threads asking for item looting are from carebears who don't want it (even though they won't even be playing on the FFA server). I guess time will tell, -fingers crossed-

Yeah there are many carebares destroying threads, but right from one of the devs is that they are strongly looking into making some servers with loot rules. I can hop, right?

AOC will have at least one FFA server at launch. They probably will add guards to protect kiddies in the outposts though.

As for item looting, I doubt it. WOW has nubified the entire genre and noobs can't handle death penalties, even if it's on ruleset they never plan on playing on - they will still cry. Blood money FTL.

As for the attack style, it seems alright, but it's very close to becoming a key mashing fest ie 123qwe.

Meh, I'm hoping for the best but it will have to be something REALLY special to beat Darktide.

I will definately play this game and I beliew I'll enjoy it too but...  but why not skill based or limited skill based like the old SWG where you were able to choose few paths and combine them a unique character. There is also restrictions with race/class that I find hard to understand like no soldiers in Stygia or druid of the Storm in Cimmeria.

Maybe Stygians should have better bonuses being able to access unholy libraries in Khemi in general but a cimmerian wanderer if living in Stygia for a while should be able to access that infonmation too.... after few bribes etc. And vica versa why not a stygian would be able to master soldiers profession if joined a cimmerian tribe and lived with them for sometime.

The game says the be after enchanced realism. Love it! So why these over simpliphied class restrictions sometimes even against the lore? Realism would t be able go everywhere and try anything and then become superiour(skilled) in what you train most...

Oh well I will play it but why why gate our way in Hyboria

If this is a serious concern of yours, why would you ask it here where you can only get feedback from users here, why would you choose to not post it on the official forums where your questions may get answered by a Dev?

First off let me thank you for posting an awesome topic idea that hasn't been overdone! Now, anytime you participate in a large scale battle I get that feeling. No matter if it is PVE or PVP, knowing I am taking part in an active battle where there are mass amounts of mobs or players always gives me a rush.

Well then search for all my comments what i want in a mmo lol, then you see im far from instant rewards, its just i dont like how FFXI is style combat and more but mostly becouse no pvp.
I want a far more complex game and far more harsh enviroment then final fantasy(carebear)XI.

OK WHOA there son! You just called one of the harshest environment games a carebear game? Why because you can't gank people? Try killing things in the Dunes at level 10 by yourself and tell me its not harsh. YOu lose xp when you die, hell you could delevel to level 1 from 75 if you wanted, that's just insane(although it does make you appreciate your accomplishments more).

We understand you don't like FFXI, but the reasons you state make you seem like you want an FPS gameplay in your mmorpg, which is fine, but definitely not what most mmorpgs are about.

On a sidenote, I'm expecting a very immature reply to this, since you seem to be the kind who can't take criticism very well, let me save you the wasted brain cells. Don't Bother!

Nah he isn't immature, he is just a overly major fanboy for DarkFall. This is to the point where he claims all other MMORPGs are carebare games and that the only true game is DFO. He has been like this since he joined the site lol.

Sorry have to correct you a little asheron calls server darktide ive never said it was carebear(was my first and best untill now pvp experience).

 

But i even on darkfall forums try to explain what darkfall will be, its a game for all kinds of players  even casuals carebears if they can take the killing but not wanne pvp but only craft or pve the beauty of DFO is its total freedom of playingstyle and gameworld!.

But you have to understand, those are all just ideas until they are proven to be working in a beta state.

I hope not ,and there is still place for true hardcore mmorpgs to come to market(DFO:))

Ah, when you say hardcore you don't mean in terms of time-intensity -you mean in terms of difficulty, which I think is something else that could be worth discussing.

 

Yes i see hardcore as playing true rp with intense play and far more difficult curve then majority of mmorpgs out there.

 

Well im waiting for one thats true hardcore in every sense:)

I say nomore:)

 

You mean hoping it will be true to the word hardcore. They never even mentioned how long it will take to get your skills up and how fast they diminish in game with the level up your skills system. It could possible be pretty easy to level up and do things because of how much there is to do in the game. I know you keep putting other games down because you want people to play DarkFall but we simply do not know enough about it to claim that this will be the game that is true to the word hardcore, in every sense.

Somehow your read me wrong, but thats excused, becouse my english sucks i know.

 

I dont put other games down i just simple point out the experience i have with those games, yes i like to play DFO and sure hope enough gonne play it ,but if you can read all what i reply im not advertising darkfall by putting down all other games as rubbish.

That would only work agains darkfall instead of helping it hehe.

I dont silence if a game in my opinion is not good to my standards ill tell about it, its still a free country wel holland is maybe some live in not so free speech country i dunno hehe.

You may not be intending to come off like this, but it truly is how you come off. As somebody who bashes other games and hypes DFO even though nobody has gotten a chance to play it yet, even beta it.

Lol you guys call that pvp:P

There is a difference in not enjoying their PvP and not having PvP. You kept saying there was none, when there is, not that you were high enough level to participate anyway.

Let me clarify...WOW of course has the hardcore;)  I played with them at times.  It has more hardcore players just by sheer numbers.   I was referring more to those who want to create a virtual life in a game, like the way people do in UO or Eve.  Or those hardcore on this board who want the game to be so difficult to play, normal people wouldn't.  But unlike past MMOs they don't NEED them.  Blizzard also  has more casual players than most MMOs combined, so creating rules and systems that only appeal to the hardcore and alienate the casual would be bad.  Sorry=)

Im 100% positive that there is still a market for games like darkfall!

 

First plenty of true hardcore pvp players who dont want the casual pvp in wow, or those other games, and plenty who want a game thats a true chellenge in every sense not only grind 24/7  for months to get your epic set from black temple(majority even never get it lol and most will skip half game:P).

There are so many casual games already on market so dont wurry you guys wont be alianated from us hardcore:P

98% is casual 2% is true hardcore where not a threat at all:P

 

And 100% of your statistics in this post have been made up on the spot.

So hello guys im in search of a new mmo. I recently saw a FF11 review from gametrailers and i was just stunned how beautifull this game looks. And it even has a story...but my only concern is if there are enough ppl playing it so that finding parties etc wont be that hard. Oh and since school started i will have about 4h a day to play it, so another question is, is 4h a day enough time to get anywhere ? Ty for your help.

Its very party unfriendly specially now when game is so old.

 

But if you like grind bots slow combat no pvp dull lvl design then this game is for you:)

This is the third straight thread you have shown your lack of knowledge for any game other than DarkFall.

played it for 3 months and its my experience agains your simple if im saying something about a mmoprg ive played its objective and correct capice.(but played FFXI 2years ago maybe it chanced?)

 

 

2 requirement for this game

1. You must learn to research the web for every information possible before you act

2. Make alot friends.

The leveling is extremely fast, at level 70. It take me 3 hour of FIGHTING to reach 1 full level. But seeking is another story, however, it doesn't take more then 30 min to make a group, of course you HAVE TO BE ACTIVELY making groups. If you aren't leadership type people, this game isn't for you.

I have met people that seek for 10 hour.....when there was 3 nin,3pld,  5 rdm and 1 brd Seeking among with like 20 DD...

Of course, i would call those people "idiots"

yeh right make up any story you want, whatever makes you happy:)

Guess the leveling and crafting systems were too hardcore for ya!

The game that you made a thread about, when you knew little to nothing about the game and then Gameloading had to prove you didn't know much of the game? Please talk about games you know.

So all I learned from this thread is that Forest once again talks down about a game he has played to level 5 or less. What else is new?

If I may ask:

Which one of the two games caters more to the hardcore pvp scene ?

Or in other words: Which game comes closest to: death penalty, losing stuff when you die, open pvp, player skill is a factor ?

 

Age of Conan will have free for all servers, you currently drop blood money when you die, but they are looking into and leaning toward making items lootable. Skill will be a factor in each game depending on you look at the word skill. In Age of Conan it will be knowing when to perform a combo, when to break a combo and start a new one, you actually have to aim at your target as there is no auto attack. In WAR the skill could easily be looked at as choosing which special move it best in a certain situation. Neither game has a real harsh death penalty though. Respawn at certain point and in AoC there is a shot we may lose items.

Thats a great idea and stops the need for a 24 /7 watch. I have a life and there will never be a chance for smaller guilds to grow ... I guess. Also nice to structure the play in that way, much more strcutured PvP play appeals to even myself generally a non PvP player. I can log in  and immedatily prepare for the attack. Also do the ring round in the day :)

Would be nice to have some smaller more immediate PvP fights too. Looks like PVP in this game is very much a  group thing however.

 

Wonderful spot on AOC dev's.

That feature is in, the smaller more immediate fights. The only thing you have a timer to attack is the Battle Keeps.
