Originally posted by killerxionI would like to correct something about that.
Better is a very subjective term. Darkfall may (or may not) have a lot of features that people have been calling for, -BUT- it remains to be seen if this game will have more success than a standard, niche-based game. Why? Because of the hardcore mentality behind it. FFA PvP Servers with full looting? How many people do you think will be attracted to that? Quite a few, certainly, but masses?
In the end, if the game releases, i think it will be a niche-success, maybe along the lines of EVE-Online. It will not compete with AoC or Warhammer or WoW for that matter. |

Originally posted by killerxionWhere'd you get that number from? I would think with the amount of "stuff" says about how great DF is, those numbers would be higher. People over on the AoC boards are complaing about 200 vs 200 battles being too small.....

Originally posted by KairarrI don't know if you're doing it on purpose, or if you've just gone over the deep end with the latest announcement, but some of this stuff just isn't true, you're exagerated released info, and just started a flame war by saying this.
I'll try to clear it up, because I am a Darkfall fan, but I'm not insane!
Game has been in development for less than 5 years. Beta will be short, a few weeks before release, release will be 2008, that's all we know. There won't be a long public beta(no MMOs seem to have them anymore, and they're not really "public" anyway <looks at AoC smoldering in the corner> They're doing most of their testing with professional testers and bots.
Numbers and underscores_is NOT a key feature of the game, and most people don't like this news. It could very well be temporary. The world is absolutely massive, yes, but no one ever said twice as big as Dark and Light. Better PvP than AoC, surely, better than War? I don't know, Mythic's PvP is still the best thing on the market right now with a 7 year old Dark Age of Camelot, we'll have to see. PvP anywhere, true, no levels, true, no grind, probably true with this game design, but no one has actually come out and SAID that. Siege a city, yes. Better raids than WoW, thats most MMOs out right now, so that's probably true. The real raid masters and EverQuest and Dark Age of Camelot. DAoC still has one of the longest and most difficult raid encounters in the MMO world. Caer Sidi. 13+hours to complete, not to mention Master Levels, which were insanely difficult. Now MMOs are pansies and have low scale low skill instance raiding. Graphics will be good, realistic, but doubtful if its better than AoC. I personally like the style better, but AoC has higher system specs, and will probably be able to handle more realistic graphics. Naval combat sounds like it will be very fun and realistic, but no, no one has said anything about it being better than potbs.
Hope people read MY message and not the OPs! |

One last thing, I find it very hard to take the devs serious now after seeing their naming policy. Numbers and underscores....There will be no RPG in this MMO. |

Originally posted by killerxion I was just repeating what I read. Now, I don't know why you think AOC can't handle 400 people on screen. I just used AOC as a reference because of a similar discussion I read about there, regarding their siege gameplay. |

Originally posted by SignusMJust one quick correction. They -HAVE- said that their world will be twice the size of D&L. Or rather, they said their world will be twice the size of any MMO currently out or under development. Their own words, it was in one of their Developer Journals.
As for public Beta, Darkfall is not even having a Closed Beta in the traditional sense. And that is probably what is being hinted at in some points. No players were invited to beta-test the game. It is all done by Q&A Pro testers and their AI. |

Originally posted by killerxion So you honestly feel two weeks is enough time for them to straighten out any issues the players may encounter when they are allowed to play? It's taken them this long just to get to this point..... |
