Anyone want to try DarkFall ?

[flabbyjack]

No....no ninja editing here.

Apparently I was lied to by someone that I thought was trustworthy.

Did you jump to the worst possible conclusion about me? OMFG lame.

You said you were in beta, you sack o' crap. You sir are a liar and a scoundrel.

 

[DarkSign]

No I didnt. I said I had a FRIEND in beta you fucktard of the fecal order.

 

[Jaime Lannister]

Everyone has friends in beta.

I'm probably going to pick this up unless it gets universally trashed on release day. (Assassin's Creed, GTA IV PC, Spore, Pirates of the Burning Sea) Any other Codexers going to play?

 

[DarkSign]

I was thinking of playing the race that can't go out in the light of day. Anyone else?

[DarkSign]

Vampires of course.

 

[deadplayer]

I would give it a try. The game would be hot in 2009.

Jan 22nd 2008 release for Europe, but North America can download and play too on that date. Servers for Europe will be the only ones available at launch.

I'll try it just to see how it is. If it's anywhere close to how they described it - i.e. adding elements of MMORPG + RTS + commandable NPC hirelings then it could be quite good.

I'm too lazy to go find out when it launches in the US.

These as far as pets or mercs you hire to fight for you are not in. I'm too lazy to dig up the dev quote tho.

The RTS aspect of the game will be how well a commander's troops respond to his/her orders.

us launch tba and irrelevant considering people worldwide will be able to try the game before they buy it. The box copy will only be available in EU. The rest of us DL it. Yup.. to lazy for that dev quote also..

I will definitely try the game. I'm not a big fan of FFA PVP because the consequences are not very realistic (I don't mean risking all your loot, but having to deal with a social contract, i.e. getting sent to jail). But I read a tidbit about the murder system and it seems like it might work.

Sorry

So I just brought myself to download the full gameplay trailer and actually it looks pretty good. I don't mean the graphics, because they do seem quite... unpolished... but the trailer shows so many aspects of the game that it convinced me it's not vaporware. I will definitely try it.

You mean there's a free trial/public beta or do you just mean that we can all download it after we pay?

"Dear .... your Darkfall pre-order was succesful"

The entire system was extremely laggy and to make things work it was refresh galore almost as if the grinding had already started.

 

[DefJam101]

After watching gameplay videos I'm much more excited for Earthfall.

(I signed up for that beta, if I get in I will share my thoughts.)

We’ve been waiting for the pre-orders to process through billing and it has been moving along but not fast enough. We’re almost done with this. Many of you will be getting notifications of this during this process. As soon as this is concluded we’ll process the accounts and open up the servers for the pre-orders. This will be done tonight; the game has been ready and waiting.

Unfortunately we’re running behind schedule as far as opening up the extra sales which we hoped to do tonight as well. We’ll do this tomorrow as early as possible, likely sometime around noon GMT time, around the time of our first scheduled maintenance. At this time we will also process the problematic accounts which had 0 euro problems, no charges, no balance, but received a successful pre-order message. We are also looking into the few cases that have pre-ordered but have not received a confirmation email and we will resolve all these issues. Most of these problems were due to a combination of lag, multiple sessions, and multiple charge attempts.

We want to thank you for your patience again, and we would like to let you know that we’re adding a couple more days to the free month of play making them 33 for everyone that pre-ordered and that will buy the game tomorrow. This is to make up for any bad experience with the account management, the lag and the delays you’ve had to face with purchasing.

The traffic volume we’ve been experiencing has been unbelievably high because of the initial rush and was compounded by users hammering the system with multiple sessions. You should also know that we have been doing everything necessary to resolve all these issues as soon as possible.

We’ll post again as soon as the server is open.

The forums will return shortly as well.

So nothing new under the sun. Perhaps on 26th the servers will finally be up.

Darkfall is released?

What next, Troika reforming? AoD going gold?

Duke nukem forever?

The servers are up but there's the usual issues of mob sync etc so it will probably take a while for everything to work like it's supposed to.

Hm so how many people here are playing/planning to play? Being a full on PVP game, there is safety in a clan.... Codex clan? :D

 

[DarkSign]

Id love to have a clan.
