Darkfall - Jan 22nd (maybe...)

If you get a super sword leave it in your bank until you know you've got a huge fight coming up, use your second best sword (or weapon). It's all about tactics now. :p And newbies won't be able to over power you, more chance of them just killing themselves with the friendly fire. :)

Indeed, thats exactly what I used to do in UO, kept my top stuff in the bank until absolutely required and operated in the main in my secondary gear. There is a lot of "survival" tactics that players of early MMOs like UO had to learn which modern MMO players simply have never had to learn due to the newer MMOs being so less harsh than early MMOs.
 
Have been casually watching this for a few months but had a good read last night . Also watched the video .
It does looks nice but player anims are really poor . Very messy and poorly animated imho .
Also the target system ... Its like a fps ...from what i read you have to aim spells/arrows ...Like why!! Its a MMO why would i have to aim at someone . There was talk of splash damage from spells (if u miss) etc but if u can imagine pvp/pking and trying to kill/chase people and have to aim at them ... Dont sound good to me .

Also there video ..all 20 mins of it was about raiding towns/boats and ganking people .. No views really from crafting or questing or pve . As a long term UO player (since beta) i would love it to work but hmm im not sure .

Persil
 
Persil I think that gameplay video is really old, as far as I'm aware. One I watched was old, I hope they've improved character animations aswell persil. I wholeheartedly agree on that.

Regarding aiming, it's to prove user skill. No auto-attack and selecting that targer. It's swing swing aim aim. Killed. True it's an MMO but it's a different MMO. :)
 
Is anyone forming a Guild or has people already willing to join one?

I need some familiar faces when leveling up as I hate playing MMO's on my own.

I've joined Lux Arcana, which used to be in Vanguard and others. Pretty organised it seems. Recruitment is stopping at 60 members, and they're in the 50s, so get in there if you want.

Cheers fella, I've applied so I'm hoping I get a trial of some sort. my only disadvantage is I've only recently stumbled upon Darkfall and I'm not really 100% up to snuff on the nitty gritty.

been reading up on it recently though seems to be my cuppa. My age also might be a limiting factor :D.
 
Thats gotta be the first game based forum I can actually read at work :eek:

....proberbly not for much longer :p

It looks quite promising. I think I'm just going to hang back and read what people say once it is actually out. I dont wanna get my hopes up just for it to be crushed.

This is an update about what is happening today:

We have sent out the first wave of invites to clans and individual testers. We will send more waves of invites within a few hours. Invited players will be able to download the Darkfall installer.

We are applying the latest patch, and players will be able to start patching soon, and entering the game.

We are spacing out the invites in order to facilitate the download of the client and patching. We will continue sending out more invites every day until we reach our capacity.

Since this first phase has to do with stress testing the servers, and doing final testing on features, we are not lifting the NDA until this testing is concluded.

We apologize for the problems with the forums and the website today, we have been experiencing denial of service attacks, and we are working to resolve them.
