• • Has the Beta started yet?

  • Darkfall (and Aventurine) are the Barrack Obama of MMOs.

    Pretty, but evasive, inexperienced, and dangerous to the whole.

    But hey, why not build a campaign around nothing but promises on a foundation thats not even remotely solid?

    
     

    Fixed your post for you.

    i'm sorry but 10,000 at once is just plain rediculous.  i dont care how friggen good your programming is there is far too many variables that interfere with the game to make a lag free game with that many players.  Battles with hundreds?  thats achievable but some cuts needs to be made (graphics and effects mainly).

     

     

    you can argue all you want but until we get decent connections, better servers and even better programming we wont see lag free games.

     

    good luck to Darkfall and i can see maybe up to 100 at once (damn big fight) could be lag free (with those graphics and sparse landscape)

    EVE has 300,000 players on one server. You...are an idiot.

    
     

    Buhahahaha! Best post on this thread.

    It's best to double check yourself when calling aother people idoits.

    Also I am still VERY sceptical about these claims by Darkfall's devs. I would hope they can pull off what they claim but I don't see it happening on today's internet.

    Anyone remmeber when Valve was talking about redoing tcp/ip so dialups could get pings almost like a broadband connection?

• • Darkfall will be trying to make $ in the worste world economy ever

  • This is hardly the worst economy ever. Banks were doing some stupid stuff and it caught up with them. Now things have to settle out. Times may be a bit harder but ups and downs are normal.

    Also entertainment tends to do well in bad economic times due to the fact that people want a release form money pressures. Some people are thinking video games will be what movies were for people during the depression.

• • Which race will you play?

  • Which race are the ones that look like sad, evil clowns?

    If this game ever comes out I'll try the race that has the best looking outfits. IE ones with no horns.

• • Good news, the next generation MMORPG is soon to be released, it's a little too hardcore though!

  • It's the manual block and aimming in 200v200 battles that makes me really wonder. I don't think it can be done without alot of people whinning about how lag killed them. I'd like to see it happen but I have large doubts about it working well.

    Personally I think "skills" are overrated for mmo's. What good are your skills going to do against a guy with 100 ms lower ping?

    Also I disagree that clicking a button and waiting for cooldown takes no skill. The skill is in what order and how you use those buttons. Anyone who has evered played a mmo can attest to the fact that there are some people who can't play thier class well and there are some who can. That's skill(or lack of). Skill isn't found in the lack of cooldown timers, 100% manual aim, etc. It's found in any game.

    For me I might give darkfall a try. But I'm staying away right now. The art for the outfits looks awful. There's no fun in it for me in an uber game if I look like a 5 year old made an outfit and put it on me. 

     I do like the evil clown race though. I hope they die alot. Die evil sword clowns, die.
