• • Darkfall's Beta NDA

  • Honestly, the only evidence i see that Darkfall is real, is the fact that MMORPG.com only has 14 games in the "games in development" section on the left there, and Darkfall is one of them.

    If not for this site i would have stopped paying attention to DF a long time ago, seriously. The game sounds good to me, and i would love to get a chance to play it, but they really haven't put any effort into sharing with their fan base at all. I think this is a bad move on thier part. The arguements of Darkfall's existence or lack of it may bring attention to the game, but in my eyes it is negative attention that will not serve them in the long run, and could have a hand in them seeing so much trouble getting an NA publisher and what not as well.

    I agree with people who say that Adv needs to let some kind of leakage slide in the near future for the sake of the fans patiently awaiting the game, as well as the game itself. I'm not condoning NDA breaks or trying to make one happen, but saying the company should rethink thier position, and find a way to temporarily allow some info to make it's way to the people without compromising the original intent of their NDA or depending on thier own resources which have proven a bit too slow for the demanding fan base.

    In my eyes, in honor of the years of dedication of attention as well as the valuable spot in it's "In Development" forum section from MMORPG.com, this site should be chosen as a mediator that would be allowed to share a few things with it's 950k+ members, out of appreciation.

    They could allow members of the MMORPG.com staff to divuldge select bits of footage ( taking for granted that Adv has actually allowed someone from the staff access to the beta ) without taking down thier NDA, and still allow valuable, trustworthy and long-awaited video evidence of Darkfall's existence and progress to reach the fans who will ultimately make or break the whole project at some point.

    Adventurine, you know what we want, but we have no idea what you want. All we ask for is a little bit of goodness to wet our appetites and give us a bit of hope during the long wait. I don't see any way that could hurt you guys, even if the game is not in a state where you would think you should be showing it off yet, it is what is is, and it will be done when it's done, nothing can change that. You and your fans practically see eye to eye in your vision, so i don't think we will ever part ways in that respect, but without and reason to hope for the game or even have faith in it's existence, there will always be a dark cloud following the name Darkfall, and i'm betting your marketing and publication ventures will surely suffer from the mixed opinions and high amount of hate being thrown towards the game in general.

     

    Just my perspective as a fan who has been waiting for the game since the days of Dark and Light, Age of Conan and Darkfall's original announcements. MMORPG.com has proven a loyal follower of it's development, and a little good will shown here from the devs will go a long way, i think. And, i don't think i'm alone here. So i officially submit my request for more info, specifically through MMORPG.com to be supplied to it's one million loyal members, hoping the lot of us equal enough weight that when thrown at Adv, they may just budge.

    P.S.

    Oh, also thowing one beta key my way would also do the trick in my eyes, another good option and you should honostly consider it also.

• • Is flying the only thing unique about this game.

  • The world will be completely new and unique.

    From what i've heard so far, alot of people think Aion is alot like WoW without cartoon style graphics. Or a mix of WoW/EQ and L2/GW. I love the gameplay style of Wow and EQ type games, and i love great graphics. So as long as the gameplay is alot of fun, Aion should bring me alot more fun hours of gaming.

    New classes, skills and abilities i've never experienced before in a world i've never explored. That is basically all i need. I don't think of it as another serving of the same old stuff, more like the next step in MMO evolution. (if it ends up being good that is)

    I agree with the thought, ''if it ain't broke, don't fix it''. As long as the game is polished, gameplay is solid and the world is well designed, i should have something new to play for a while, maybe even a long time. I don't like games that try to re-invent the wheel, and most of the time i see it as a company with a sub-par game trying to cash in on a gimmick rather than making the best game they could.

• • The only thing that would stop me from playing this game

  • Death penalties are fine with me, as long as the penalties are from PvE deaths and not from PvP. With PvE it is your decision to venture into dangerous areas and attempt to kill difficult mobs, so the penalty adds risk factor.

    But with PvP you don't always have a choice, so there should be no penalty when another player decides you should die. It would also add to risk factor here, but i don't need another reason to run from players who overpower me and may decide to kill me again and again, until they get bored or i leave / log out. Besides i would rather fight back and die than run, even if i didn't want to fight to begin with.

• • Why are my Graphics so Low?

  • Maybe i'm crazy but the graphics look better to me today than they have in the past.

    Was there some graphic update in the latest patch?

    The funny thing is i actually feel more drawn to the game now that i think it looks good. Guess i am a graphics whore after all.

• • cant patch or play login info is correct

  • Once when i was trying to log in and the server was down, it wouldn't let me past the login thing and looked as if i was putting the info in wrong, but as soon as the server came up it was fine. Are you guys on different servers than closed beta?

    If the servers aren't down, it has been suggested that you uncheck Save Login Name, delete whatever login acc and pw is written and write them again because of some strange bug.
