There's only one thing that I ask: level cap. The lack of it ruined Darkfall.

Kinda, I guess. What REALLY ruined Darkfall Online was players exploiting the physics system to achieve breakneck speeds in order to escape combat right before they die. This significantly changed the game paradigm, and hit the developers totally unexpected when people started doing it after release. They still haven't fixed it.

Also, the technical issues involving medium and large sized sieges where players would disconnect/client crash. Btw when you crash in Darkfall you don't just 're-log in'. When you disconnect you are locked out of the login process for about 15 minutes, then load the client for another few minutes. To set your graphics settings to something that gives your reasonable performance during sieges you had to go into settings and configure dozens of settings in a very specific and not obvious way.

Oh also I hope you picked your race correctly -- smaller races have much smaller hitboxes giving them a large advantage.

There won't be a level cap but roles that you can switch into, that define the set of skills you have at your disposal at any one time. Kinda like hopping into a certain ship in Eve-O.

wrt bunnyhopping: That should be fixed; you can still use it but not indefinitely long anymore.

i didn't have many technical issues with darkfall, interestingly enough it's probably one of the most stable running games i've ever had on my hdd. the 15 minute timeout thingy you mention is annoying yeah.

all races now have the same hitboxes from what i take from the news blurp.

Sadly 'indy' RPGs like Darkfall always suffer from cheats, exploits and shit. The developers either don't care or can't stop it.

i ragequit after i realized that devs didn't give a shit, after being killed 1000 tiems by people who would shot 200 arrows in a bunch of seconds using exploits etc, but damn this game had potential, made me feel like the first days of UO again...

That looks amazing, finally melee can stand a chance. Seems like they're actually going for some sort of balance this time around, and assuming you can switch between primaries/secondaries whenever you want I really don't see it to be as limiting as others do.

well that looks pretty terrible, i hope those people he 1-shotted were low hp
They may have been near full HP. Although the devs don't want people dying from 1 hit, you can die from a couple hits, especially if you are a new player.
First 3 months of Darkfall: Log in every night and swim against a wall to raise your HP at a rate of 4-1 per day(Over some months, that adds up)
