• • Graphics or gameplay? Which one is it?

  • I agree with you.

    Sure the graphics are a bit dated looking, but they look like that for a reason and the Devs have not been shy telling you why that is.

    Busting on the games graphics when its pretty much always been known that the graphics wont be top notch is a bit futile i think.

    Im fine with the graphics Darkfall has as long as its a good game that runs well.
    Im really interested with this automatic graphic setting changes to prevent lag that the devs were talking about. That sounds like an excellent idea to me, i just dont see how they can make it work.

    I think the naesayers balance out the fanboys rather nicely on this issue, actually.  So I wouldn't go so far as to say that everyone has confidence in Darkfall.

    There are more people who are skeptical of darkfall that "trolls" and more people like the other quote who have not even played the game.. yet have SOO Much faith based on dev promises.

    where guild fight over towns and resources and not on a forum about "who has the more uber lootz or who got the World wide first on Epic mob Z"

    thats why many people are hyped about this game, also because many WOW players suck at games so they wont be able to hack it at all in darkfall.

    thats why some are excited about it.
     

    Glad to see you have played the game and are having fun..

    Oh.. what is that? you haven't played it?? And.. You know all of these things how?? Cause the DEvs said.. just like they said clan beta in 2005? Or possible betas every year for the past 5 years?  Is that how?? ..

     

    Me. in Red. Cause.. Yeah..

    
     

    I really like how you can blast people for being positive about a game that they have never played but you can bust on a game that you have never played.

    Must be fun in the world of you.

     

    Wow.. You aren't the brightest bulb, are you?  No where did I "blast" on the game.   It's funny. .. I guess if you aren't gah gah over darkfall.. you must be blasting it.. Get a f'n clue man.. People believe the word of the Devs WAY too much.. when they have next to zero credibility.  

    
     

    I am in no way gah gah over Darkfall, there is a good chance i wont even play though i am interested.

    And perhaps you didnt blast the game in THIS thread, but i have read many from you on this board.

    But you are right, believing everything that comes out of the Devs mouth is probably not the best, but discounting everything as you tend to do isnt either.

    So they have missed some release dates and Beta dates, who the hell really cares. None of us are paying for this game. Let them take as long as they want to put the thing out, and if in the end they just decide to junk the whole idea then thats fine too. We still lose nothing.

    Im on this forum because i am interested in the game and hope i can get some more information. You are on here to tell everyone they are foolish. Who is really wasting their time here. I am getting what i want and it has gotten to the point that no one is even caring what you write. Pretty soon you will be tenspotting and people wont even bother to read.

    Games coming out = Good for everyone
    Games not coming out = Bad for everyone

    Easy concept.

• • Mortal Online doing what Darkfall fails to do right (for many years)

  • While i agree in Theory with what Avery said but being open and giving information to your fans really doesnt mean anything.

    Vanguard was very open and gave alot of information to their fans, AOC did the same. Both had VERY disappointed fans.

    I really dont know which is better, but i think i would rather have little information then alot of information that isnt really going to happen. Not that Mortal Online will do this of course. Like every other game we shall have to wait and see.

    I am just happy that more developers are trying to make games that arent like WoW so all the power to them.

    Maybe your post is a good one to respond to with some of the things that concern me about Darkfall.

    I, too, prefer PvE to PvP.  I have played both and for all the talk about PvEers being carebears, I think it is superior to PvP.  PvP can be mass chaos, constant death and total frustration.  PvE tends to be a lot more ordered, imo.  And Darkfall is touting unrestricted PvP.  So that concerns me somewhat.  But it sounds like the world is going to be so huge, it may be possible to find some remote corner and just kill mobs.

    Lack of classes.  While I love the idea of skill-based advancement, I wish the game had classes. I like the idea of specialization.  No classes creates the prospect of characters being too similiar to one another.  But maybe they'll do it in a way that you can still have a somewhat unique avatar.

    It says in the Wiki description that ranged combat and general play will be viewed from the first person persective while melee combat will take place from the third person view.  I hope you will have the option to change views anytime.  I do not like playing in first person view at all.  I like to always play my character from third person.

    Complete looting of other players.  I've never played a game that had this, so I don't know for sure how it's going to be, but I'm concerned about this one as well.  Everyone is saying just make sure you don't wear any uber gear and you won't have to worry about it.  Well what's the point in going after uber gear if you can't wear it?  I'm pretty sure I'm not going to care for this feature.

    That's about it though.  Just about everything else I've read about this game is sounding very sweet.  So if I can learn to live with these, I think I could really like this game.  We'll just have to wait and see.

    I agree with pretty much everything you said above and share pretty much all your concerns.
     

    The PVP concerns me but what i hoping is that when it is all said and done it is more faction based PVP then just mass ganking. I know it is open PVP but im hoping that the penalties for killing your own faction will make it not very appealing. I really have no problem if i am playing a Dwarf and an Orc comes by and kills me, i start having a problem when it is another Dwarf.

    Lack of classes i think i can deal with because while Skill based fans will talk about how great and different it is i still believe that when it gets down to it most people are going to build the "Class" they like by taking the skills that that "Class" would have. Plus a little healing of course.

    What i like about Darkfall is all the little stuff that they are supposed to bring back into MMOs, like no instant travel, spell components, food and drink, death penalthy (besides the looting, though the looting could be penalty enough for me), etc.

    There is a pretty good chance that i am going to totally hate Darkfall because of the PVP aspect, but there is also a decent chance that 1. I will actually like PVP or 2. I like everything else enough that the PVP wont matter. Hopefully i will be able to find out soon.
