Is anyone playing or plan on playing this?

I'm in the beta (have been for a few weeks)... It's pretty fun... different, but fun.  I'm an Orc and I'm red (murderer)... 

[stumpster]

Had signed up for the beta a looong time ago, kinda fell off the radar.  How is it?

[fldash]

It's 'different'... for a low budget MMO it has promise.  The world design and size (with pretty much seemless zones), full pvp/full loot, full contact melee (you hit everyone in your blade path, friend or foe, clan member or party member or whatever) and real-time archery and spell casting (being able to dodge them and see them moving thru the air) are the best parts...

The bad parts are the character animations, people bitch about crafting but I haven't done it....

I'm a poor college student, no money for MMORPGS.

Looking forward to Guild Wars 2 though.

I have a friend very close to development in Darkfall, actually.  He's an elf, though.  I'd probably join, if not for that fact.  Ew, pansy elves.

[fldash]

Who the fuck would play an elf... I mean... seriously.

God damn it ! I was accepted in beta but forgot to change the mail, and it got lost. Now i'm waiting for a resend !
Shit, and im waiting for this game since 2006 or earlier 
Not that it matters anyway since it will go live in a few days.

Its the only mmorpg i wanna play, not because its a greek co production but cause of the planned features. In my eyes it is a morrowind/ oblivion on line.

FL how does the gameplay feels ? Are the core elements in the beta right now ?
Theres a lot of rumours flying around that they havent tested them so theyre not in game.

[Kolath]

fl, who said you could play other games?  There are servers to fix!  Back to your cage! 
 

[fldash]

What core elements are you talking about?

You can capture cities / hamlets and siege them to take them over... You can declare war / alliances.  

All that works, I've done it.

I'm not sure what 'gameplay' elements you are refering to...

As for how the gameplay feels... it feels good... it's a rush knowing you can lose your stuff at any time... And travel is slow and even if your naked having to walk back will suck so you do everything to stay alive...

I've been playing off / on for 3 weeks... It's fun and I pre-ordered but I don't know how long I'll play...

Hmm like the extensive in number skill system they mentioned, mounts, naval combat, npc guards, variety of weapons and armor, stuff like these.

Was there testing of large scale battles ? Like 50 people or 100 and more ?
Also whats the mentality of players so far in game compaired to other games you played ?

[fldash]

Mounts are in... naval combat may be in already, I know one guild built a ship but I don't think anyone else did....

No NPC Guards, no NPC hires at all (including to vendor your crafted goods). 

I think most players are still too noobish to know about variety of weapons and armor... It looks different on every race that puts it on so thats some of the variety... Like an Orc in plate looks different than an Elf in plate, yet they wear the same item.

I played in a decent sized battle... maybe 20v20?  It wasn't that laggy to me, but I have a fast computer and a good connection (even though I'm connecting overseas)... 

Mentality of the players is... indifferent... many will run if you look to be aggressive as they don't want to die (especially if they have good gear).  Since there is no stealth, hiding is a legitimate option... for example I hid behind a rock when I was chased by two guys and they ran right past me... it was a pretty good rush...

It's fun to me.  For how long, I don't know. 

[Schultz]

I saw some videos, like running 10 minutes to reach a guy and i have bad memories from AoC when stamina could never be depleted, and either the one that pursuit gave up or the one chased stopped so they could fight.
Is it like that ?

[fldash]

I played AOC a lot... I had 2 80s and running was never an issue in that game like it is in Darkfall.  Mainly becaues AOC was instanced and zoned.  Darkfall is neither.

You can run and it's viable... if the player chasing you has magic or arrows though, you won't get THAT far unless you are an excellent dodger and started running when you had more Stam than they did.
