Watch a couple of those and tell me Darkfall is full of fail.

I will agree though DF was far to grindy and PvP sucks until you reach high skill levels. Players skill does not make up for Weapon Master at 75. At least they have eased that somewhat, but the game is missing 80% of its sandbox content. It is focused on PvP and Conquest to the exclusion of all else – and I don’t mean moronic WoW quests or supposed “solo content”. You need sandbox tools to build stuff, personalised tabards, proper clan management tools, property ownership in cities, local banking, caravans/wagons, region specific resources etc. And for the love of all that is holy Magic needs to be toned down. It should be an exception not the rule. Melee and archery are far more fun.

I participated in Beta and strung along as best as I could till the end of June.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was the stupidity you felt in crafting.
I mean the crafting really was made for the slow kids.
A waste of time IMHO.

Perhaps someday the golden age will return to the MMO but after experiencing this mess I feel that I might have to take a step back and wait till something deserves my entertainment dollar.

That part of that paragraph explains is the very core of the problem of the game and sadly i don’t see it being fixed anytime soon because long skill grind AND weak coding of the client are both part of the game core .

Anyone complaining about getting killed by their own race needs to stop looking at the race thing. The racial stuff is put into the game to make it “interesting” and nothing more. Factions are not like WoW in this game and you are going to get PK’d by a PKer in a OPEN PVP GAME.

I started to read the post and then noticed that most of the anger stems from being killed by their own race or ARAC clans. I am sorry to say people will get killed in a PVP game it’s just the way things work. However getting killed in this game is not as bad as this post says it is.

I will end it at that as I do believe the game is broken and needs a lot of fixes.

Darkfall is sadly never going to be the game we expected it to be and Tasos is never going to stop lying about it.

If you’ve played enough MMOs, you’d know that casuals make up the back-bone of an MMO world. Without them, the ‘hardcore’ PvP players have to harvest/craft for themselves.

IMO the game lacks the simple UO ability to walk off into the woods, kills some basic neutral wildlife (pigs, sheep, ect.), bring the mats back to town, and start a profitable profession to build on.

The world is void of life minus overcrowded and typically player camped NPC spawns.

There’s no room for a new player entering the game to develop a character to a point where they have even the slightest attachment to it before they’re cut down by either a massive group of NPCs or roaming griefers.

Would it be impossible to add deer, moose, or wildlife in general?

As it stands, the game has an accelerated aging population with no new blood.
If they don’t do something to bring in new players, the game will stagnate and die.

I ground my skills up to respectable levels early, without macroing. I did it by clicking over and over and over and over and over while watching movies. (Thanks aXXo for making it a bit more enjoyable).

I PvE’d solo, duo, and in groups. I PvP’d solo, duo, and in groups.

At first, I really liked it. I wanted to love the game. Then a friend quit… followed shortly after by his whole guild. Then another left, then another. All of the good players were dropping like flies.

The exploiters remained. The game went spiralling downhill, and I’m glad I was talked into leaving it finally, after I held on in hopes it would improve.

Its a game for hackers and cheaters now.

I hope they enjoy the muck left behind from all the good players leaving.
