most heart pumping, adrenaline surging, skill based mmo on the market. Beware if you're a [censored] this is not the game for you.


Unless you have seriously played this game in like last 6 months don't open your mouth, the improvements have been astronomical.

This game is not for everyone,

You're welcome.

Advertising, or discussion? This seems pretty borderline to me.

Edit
Never mind, you didn't post any links to go buy it. Guess discussion. Ignore me and my mistake.

So, it's changed for the better and improved astronomically...how, and from what?

It honestly doesn't look that interesting.

Completely for discussion although the game is on sale right now thats all im gonna say.

Darkfall had a ruff launch as over 100 thousand people tried to buy it on the first day, at the time only 1 server was launched and 1 server supports 10000 simultaneous players, this caused a huge portion of those that couldn't get the game to say [censored] it.

In june of 2009 they released the NA server which essentially split the player base in half which again drew some of the community away. Right now darkfall's population is stable but its not thriving.

Darkfall's grind is absolutely [censored], they've pretty much cut it by 80% but its still really really long, those who have played since launch aren't near completeion. Its not very friendly to new players as darkfall is 100% open world full loot pvp, im talking you log in someone can come and kill you and loot everything that you have on you. Of cource there is a banking system but if you want to rock insane gear like the guy in the first video, if you die anyone can come and loot you. Basically darkfall is a TES MMO, not much else to it, player housing, conquest (the second video is a siege) where we attacked a city and took it from another alliance. (all videos are of TSL alliance , which I am apart of)

Just straight PvP? Not worth it.

Especially for a monthly fee...


YES SIR!

Oh no theres PVE, Crafting all that stuff. PVP is what makes the game what it is.

and tons of soloable mobs.

Any game that is completely open world PVP where anyone can come kill you at any level no matter what and steal all your stuff AND is pay to play, is a junky game imho. PVP is fine, as long as it's agreed upon by others(or you specifically join a sever in the game solely dedicated to PVP, like WoW has). If it's all the time, anytime, no restrictions, that's what I call a bad business model, since it heavily favors anyone who has been playing from the start, and makes it damn near impossible for anyone new to join after a certain amount of time has passed since it's launch, excluding the launch of a brand new server with only new players allowed to play on it.

Thats why people like you play wow and the others that don't like the instanced pvp zones play games like Darkfall.

I was in the beta. I'm glad to see it's changing for the better. Hehe, I still have memories of killing the orcs in that little quarry outside the main elf village, and running for my life from the dragon near the middle of the map.

If people are interested, here's my overall breakdown. PAIN IN THE ASS(!!!!) to get started, but once you've gotten some gold....or murdered an afk player for his stuff, and procured alright equipment, you're ready to tackle things bigger than goblins and orcs.

Hey I heard this new game is super hard. You can be killed ANY time and all of your loot taken. I still have to pay monthly to be robbed in game though, and I can't get anywhere to level up because I keep getting ganked. It's essentially robbing me blind twice! How innovative! Well I have to give it props for doing something new, but I also have to laugh at how [censored] of an idea that is. No one is ever going to want to play the game if it's going to be 10000000000x harder than it ever was for the initial player base. It's just an excuse to get your ass kicked, but now your gladly handing over your money.

Well, Ultima Online was first with the whole full loot PVP. A lot of people were hoping DF was gonna be like Ultima. Unfortunately, they had those stupid towers...

I'm just gonna wait for Guild Wars 2.

This. But I'll be playing Fallen Earth till that glorious day comes.




And, that just makes me even more wary of buying the game. I've heard the community is pretty toxic, and that doesn't put me at ease.

Until this, LOTRO...unless I find something truly better.

*In obnoxious fake offended tone* PEOPLE LIKE ME?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE LIKE ME? Just because I don't want to play a game where anyone who didn't start the game when it was released is never going to get anywhere/perpetually screwed doesn't make me any less hardcoe of an MMO player. it just makes me a SMART MMO player. Whats the point in wasting your time with a game that as Gamgee pointed out, is essentially robbing you blind twice, by making you pay for it, and then punishing you for starting the game late by making you easy, accessible fodder to anyone of higher level? If you want to be a masochist, be my guest, but I'm not interested in torturing myself.

Edit: Also, you really might want to adjust your attitude a bit if you want anyone to take you seriously and listen to what you have to say. Alienating anyone who talks about the games obvious drawbacks by insulting them isn't really a good way to win fans of a game and it's community.

Oh, yeah. I'm not lying at all when I say Darkfall has the worst community. Ever.

Oh we're all [censored]s and trolls but thats what makes it so special, you get attached to your character because you put so much time into it, its almost like being a racecar driver (stupid example I know) you work on your car so that its the fastest and can beat anyone and then some [censored] comes and rams you and your car gets destroyed, time to start building that thing better and faster. Not saying that your character resets when you die but if you're not the best you will grind until you are. The pvp experience in this game is like no other out there, your hands will be shaking after a fight, I don't know why or how this game gets adrenaline flowing like that but it does for EVERYONE. This game isn't for pussies, people come and see what the community is like, they either love us because they're fellow asshats or they go back to wow crying. If you're tired of the censored, carebare, baby cradling, wow, wow clone, and typical point and click game that takes essentially no skill what so ever darkfall is the mmo for you. Question to the people here crying about full loot, chances are you're here for TES, well don't you love seeing what your opponent is wearing and then wanting to kill him more to get that gear? Think of the first time you saw that guy wearing daedric, you [censored] your pants and killed that son of a [censored] quicker then anything else in the game because you wanted his gear. I do that everyday in darkfall. I haven't played this game since launch, ive been playing since feb of 2010 and I have caught up, I don't play much at all, maybe 3 times a week for 4 hours, I'm not going to lie my character isn't the greatest in the game but I'm sure as hell considered extremely viable. They have cut the grind by literally 80% from what it was at launch. Time to man the [censored] up get into darkfall and do something that you've never done before. If you don't like it, you're probably better suited for flowers kittens and wow. Any fan of TES should be lactating all over this game by now, but suit yourself, I guess taking it from some 12 year old kid in wow that keeps dancing in front of you is cool, but don't you wish you could drop the kid? you can't in wow cause you're either not in a pvp server (lol chump) or your not in a pvp designated zone (lol chump), in darkfall however, the kid isn't dancing cause that just fking stupid in an mmo and you've already killed him before he could even try it.

Oh and we have the worst community ever? thats your opinion. I personally think we've got the best community ever, we aren't censored by the devs for anything (within reason of course), we're free to humiliate people when they deserve it or when they don't, we're allowed to insult those that need insulting or when they don't, we can do anything within our community because its part of the game. In Darkfall you are completely free to do what ever you want, try calling a kid a [censored] (lol censored) in wow you're banned, muted or warned within 10 minutes. PM a gm in darkfall and say someone came up to you, killed you, took everything you had on you, blew up your city, bind camped you and then sent you a pm saying lol get good [censored] (lol censored) and watch what happens.

My methods of alienating someone that shows the "games obvious drawbacks" Is a sign of love, don't waste your time on darkfall. We would love to have your tears, really we would; but im going to save you those tears. Btw rp server on WoW later on? we can have a tea party, bulls only im attracted to their nose rings (L) <3

In other words, if you're a complete moron and jack-ass, Darkfall is the game for you, but if you're a mature, sensible advlt who doesn't feel the need to be rude to every other person, then you shouldn't bother. Gotcha! Also, I don't play WoW. can't stand the cartoony graphics.

Edit: Also, is anyone else here starting to think this really IS an advertisemant/recruitment thread for darkfall, and not really a discussion at all? I mean, the guy talks about how the game has changed and what not, but when queried on it, he hasn't given a single detail except to flame anyone who disagrees with him, and say the game isn't for wimps and pussies.

Spot on

And this is in no way an advertisemant you're just upset and want to get back at me by shutting down my thread you mean person! If it was an advertisemant I would be giving you my community publisher link and the darkfall website which would mean I get money off my own subscription for people buying the game through my sponsorship.

Ive been answering any question that comes up, this is discussion; discuss the game, ask questions and have a good time!

lol...why am I upset again? Because I find you obnoxious and rude? That's hardly a reason to be upset. It just seems to me that you haven't actually answered ANY question ANYONE has asked. You've been asked in what ways the grind has been reduced, but all you've said is "It's been reduced by about 80% but it's still really really long". You've been asked how it differs from WoW and other MMOs, and all you say is "You can kill anyone at any time and have your gear stolen". There have to be some other differences you could talk about. You've been asked how it's "Been improved astronomically" and you never answered that. Nope, all you've done thus far is rant and rave how people like myself and anyone else in this thread that refuses to try it or talk about how crappy it would be to start are pussies and wimps. So, yeah, I view this as one giant advertisemant, just without the links.

Another you mentioned is that people who like TES should play Darkfall, but you fail to mention that one of the main reasons people play TES is because of the interesting and engaging world. There is nothing interesting or engaging about Agon. At all. It's a boring circular continent where every race is flanked by two opposing races. The mini-continents, though, were pretty cool. I especially liked Yssam. But you can't go there without being massacred. So you're stuck in boring Agon, farming goblins or orcs (or getting murdered by people who go by yelling "lol noob. Lern 2 play.")

It's a lot like EVE, in that the only way to excel is to sell your soul to one of the guilds. And I don't know if Hyperion or its satellite guilds is still around in Darkfall or not, but when guilds are little better than bandit clans who kill anyone not affiliated with them, something is wrong.
