Getting back on topic...

Going back to the archer sniping scene in the tree.  It looked as if he was one-shotting the players on the ground.  Makes me wonder if there is a long cast archer skill that may allow this.  I remember devs saying that magic and bows would not do the dmg that a melee blow would. 

Anyone else have thoughts about this?  Maybe i was too busy crying out of happiness to notice that they weren't going down in one shot.

The graphics and animations remind me a lot of Dark and Light.

Is it the same company or a relaunch of Dark and Light?

Well outlawVr i am not a paid troll, but just a guy who has logged in this site for awhile and got a good laugh from the fanboys and haters. I really am happy the video came out . and stil not sure about the graphics. i know graphic are not everything .  I am not getting into a type off with trolls for or against DF . just a person that watched the video and posted a thought.

fair enough

I know its graphics are not crisis

but wow's graphics are not the best either, not even when it came out.

watch the high def version, seriously the graphics are not bad at all.

Darkfall fans , can i have some of drugs you are using ?

Agree , i only watched the utube video. That is why i said will wait and see . the list of thing the game has is great just don't want 10 year old graphic. O and as far as WoW graphic yes i have WoW and bought the BC expansion , but for some reason me and my wife just can't stay logged in for more then a few hours before we find a reason to logout. I do play EQ2 but little by little they are lowering it to WoW . so i hope for this game since Vanguard has lost most of its people and i want a living server.

That was something that got my attention too.  He did seem to be able to one shot players.  Of course, we dont know if those players had damage before the arrow hit them, or if they edited the sequence for drama. 

It also seemed as if the mage was able to one shot the archer.  He certainly knocked him out of the tree, but perhaps did not kill him.

Which brings me to falling damage.  If there is damage, it would seem to require a very long fall, since I noticed a lot of leaping off of things.

It was probably done for effect.  When you watch the video.  Alot of the people look like they were dying from one or two hits of melee.   I seriously doubt that it will play out like some CS:S match up.  Where everyone is running around with AWP's one and two shotting people.  That would just be stupid.

Drink the punch in the corner and join the others in the field.

I refrained from any comment on Darkfall for so long due to my doubts.  But I have to say, for an independant company, that was damn impressive.  I'll give it a shot for sure if the game comes out.

It's skill based! and my character has basic bipedal functions?!  I'm in!

Yea a lot of people arent giving them credit for their company size and what they have accomplished with the video and their game.

I cant wait and hope i get lucky with a beta invite.  But of course we all must be on drugs for looking forward to this game huh?

Ahhhhh, the hypocrisy of gamers....

How many threads have we seen, "Gameplay versus Graphics" where the majority of gamers insist that graphics take a backseat to gameplay.  And yet, what seems to be one of the number one criticisms, graphics.

This is one of the problems with gamers today.  Many are so lazy they don't want to use their imagination.  Someone talking about metal armor would cause a player to sink, lol.  Stop thinking congrete and start thinking abstract, because when you get past that way of thinking your imagination will take off and soar, and that's when the fun starts.

It seems like for some gamers the ultimate achievment would be to create a super realistic life simulator.  And while that would indeed be a monumental accomplisment, I submit that such a thing has already been done; you have only to get up, throw open the door and walk outside into the real world.
