• • Is "Darkfall" the biggest joke in the MMO Industry?

    DF is not a joke.

    And there are no problems. The beta will be short and end shortly after. The game is feature complete and doesnt need beta testing like for example WAR did.

    Impressively pathetic.

    Understood Rhinok, but my concerns about Darkfall are even greater seeing that Darkfall is trying to pull off even more now. To be a first person style of game, then the game engine needs to run VERY fast and smooth to provide for good game play, as in a first person shooter FPS. Could you imagine playing Halo 3 with slow character movement or extreme lag?

    Okay, so they are trying to pull off a first person viewpoint where your move your mouse in the direction you are looking. I got that now. I never really studied all the promised features of Darkfall and how they plan to implement everything, but now I wonder about a million more little details, which is probably not answered yet.

    See, this game certainly seems like it is trying to pull off way more then it can handle. It's trying to be a fast moving, skill based FPS style game that is also an mmo on a single server with 200 vs 200 player warefare as I've seen talked about several times on these forums already. It's trying to promise a million things and everyones favorite parts of a hundred thousand game style elements and put them all into this "sounds too good to be true" type of game.

    But we can talk forever about what they are promising to be implemented in the game. What is actually going to happen when I install and play this game on my computer is where my real concerns are. My doctor can tell me that a pill I'm supposed to take tastes like moist, tender Chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and warm apple pie all in the same little pill. And his nurses that work with him, for him in his offices can tell me the same thing. But that don't mean I'm not gonna taste a chalky piece of crap pill when I put it in my mouth. (The nurses in his office being all the friends and people who put up reviews of this game from the offices or control of Aventurine)

    Honestly, sit back and try to enjoy the ride.  If the something big is going to happen, it'll happen this month.  There's no reason to get worked up about the "flaws" of a game you've not yet played, so just hold off until the beta.  Go play some 360...Or something.

    Call me as you wish. But just stop and think for a minute here. A "fixed" camera that cannot be adjusted. How fantastic will this work? First we have to assume that we actually ever play this game. So here we are with the camera fixed in a position that shows us an angle that works fine and shows what we want to see right in front of us. Cool.

    Then we start to move and move up or down a slope. Now imagine this un-adjustable camera in its fixed position either showing us the sky or the ground and we cannot adjust it to see anything. Not anything behind us, nor anything in front of us. Truly advanced alright. Sounds like great fun, I can hardly wait to play now!

    I'm really not seeing much of a problem with a fixed camera.  How I believe it'll work is it'll tilt with your character's head movement...I could be wrong and it's stuck in the air...But whatever, I'll leave my judgment until I try the beta...

    And of course, your well thought out reply will include something like, "given a beta ever does happen"  Well, no shit.  But it's always good to keep a level head, and a slightly optimistic outlook.  Otherwise people tend to post pessimistic, close-minded viewpoints on forums where no one really cares.

    ....And no one wants that.

    No, by then I believe they will increase.  Either side of this argument's funny.  If the game's a success, I'll still laugh at the ignorant naysayers; otherwise, I'll continue laughing at the adamant supporters.  I win!
