To summarize, even if AoC was not mentioned, even if they didn't specifically mean AoC, it still falls into the pool of games they could have meant during the comment, and they were bashing games that fall into the category of their comments, which would include AoC, so even if indirectly, they attacked it. In the latest Dev Journal they say "Anyone can have a mount in Darkfall, and you don't need to fulfill a special set of conditions, reach a certain level, save gold for months, win a contest, or preorder the game to own one." The last part of it, also seems to take another "indirect" hit at AoC.
Well, I think those are targeted remarks specifically at WoW if anything, if they also apply to AoC, perhaps funcom should think outside the box, and not make a WoW clone hoping to ensnare the bored X-WoW players.
I hardly consider it Tasos' fault that funcaom was unoriginal enough to take an unintentional blow from a swipe at the largest game in the MMO genre, and quite frankly, agree with the post that would slap Blizzard for exploiting players' investment in time/money, as opposed to having player skill.
When I was growing up I wanted to work for Blizz, now, fuck that, I wouldn't work for them if I made 3x what I make now. They are EXACTLY like the guys that get banned from other MMOs for exploiting bugs in the system. They found a niche in the market, and made it an unending billing cycle designed to rip off their subscribers (hence the treadmill effect).
WHICH IS ESACTLY THE REASON WE FORUMFALLERS ROLL HARDER THAN OTHER GAMERS. Darkfall isn't just another game, it's a concept that transcends rational belief, like christanity to a christian, it is HOPE and FAITH. And for that reason, will remain invulnerable to any attack by some stupid uninformed non-believing troll (yes, Weezer, you should feel dis-enheartened here)
No.. Dated meaning they look like they are from a game from 2002 at best.. The graphics are terribly outdated in this game. The texture resolutions are terrible.. the lighting is terrible.. the color pallette is bad.. the modeling work is bad... the animations are bad.. I can go on but why bother. It's just like talking to a brick wall.
Well if these screenshots that look far better than lets say wow already which is 4 years old now and people still play within the millions.
And if you say all of it is bad than you have absolutly no idea about graphic designs, hell the new screens look better than AOC's or WARHAMMER, and this game isnt even nearly finished.
I could go on, but you dont have anything to back up your arguments, so yeh if you dont like the game, stop wasting time here and get a fucking life.
Ya you're right. A video showing a scripted camera flying around some empty buildings and terrain.. and another showing some people swinging their swords at each other looks more promising than any other MMO coming out..
What kind of world do you live in? lol
Learn 2 read I said it looks better than many mmo's that are out NOW , not that are coming out. And given the state DF is in versus the nearly finished outcoming mmo's DF can still go far beyond them too
Again i could go on, but why bother when you obviously cant even read properly.
Ohh and have fun with your AOC crappy beta test weekend, Im sure like with everything else they put out sofar it will lead to loads of disgruntled fans bitching about the bugs and the low level of player skill involved in pvp.
And for Weezer: Again get of your fucking high horse, Darkfall team doesnt owe you anything at all, its a game in development, it will be done when its done, not when you want it to be.
Also for the ones whining about Tasos taking a swing (or not) at AOC, stop being so fucking hypocritical if the AOC developers do the exact same thing
This is what happens when you wait 7 years to release your game.
A much better version comes along and crushes you..This was just announced a few days ago and there's already people leaving Darkfall posting there and it's just going to snowball...
shaoranhongkong: "Like AOC? LOL People will start dropping off after the first few months out of boredom and horrible lag...you watch and mark my words."
Keep saying that everyday to yourself, one day it might be true. while that i'll be enjoying a game, a real one, not a youtube video.
Funny thing tho, i never heard a dev of darkfall mention AoC
That's because he's too cowardly to name exact names and you're obviously too stupid to read between the lines because it's clear as day that Tasos guy was talking about Age of Conan in that dev journal.. Exploiting Mature rating??? There's only one MMORPG with a mature rating and that's Conan.. the only other one is Second Life..... and he wasn't talking about Second Life..
I guess even a puppet can see
You are one.. back to your Vaporware forums with you.. Hopefully they'll string your puppet ass long for the next 7 years..
the fact that the only guy on this thread supporting you is your alt. Teedle, (note: immediately after your posts)
lol what the fuck is this guy high on? Do you REALLY believe that its SO UNCOMMON for someone to actually agree with mthis guys views about Darkfall? I mean wake up dude. 90% of the MMORPG public who knows about Darkfall thinks of it EXACTLY the way this guy wrote it all up....The only ones who don't are 12 year olds with 0 commen sense.
Darkfall is 7 year old played out nonsense plain and simple and is finally getting publically called out on it (long overdue).. It's time to put up or shut up for Darkfall Online..
The only thing Darkfall has managed to do in 7 years of ""work"" is amass a forum community full of delusional idiots that would be better offer in some kind of a brainwashed cult than playing video games. And you can be their leader.

Your Messiah Tasos just got publically bitch slapped on one of the biggest MMORPG sites on the Net. Go give him an E-hug...
You call them cowards, but you are obviously a AOC dev and yet you hide behind some BS name on a fan site...interesting.

What's the point of following Darkfall now? It's over for Darkfall Online.. and there's nobody to blame but themselves for not delivering...
Darkfall dev's have bullshitted their community for far to long and now look? They're paying the ultimate price...
Now they will see where their fanbases loyalty truly lies ---> To the ones who deliver the goods like it should be.
Teedle, I looked at that video, its uber crap. THOSE ARE NOT INGAME VIDEOS, so your argument about them having ANYTHING on Darkfall is just plain RETARDED.
Gee, an FPS game with no FPS ingame video, and we're supposed to lose faith because of a few words on a LAME CGI video, that lacks content as well as realism?
Your words do not fall on deaf ears, we just dont speak troll. cya.
Nightfreak: And for Weezer: Again get of your fucking high horse, Darkfall team doesnt owe you anything at all, its a game in development, it will be done when its done, not when you want it to be.
But the view is oh-so nice from up here; you look so cute and small and all. ;-)

And they say I can rant. Sheesh!
If hope is what will get you through the night, more power to you. ;-)
Well, I think those are targeted remarks specifically at WoW if anything, if they also apply to AoC, perhaps funcom should think outside the box, and not make a WoW clone hoping to ensnare the bored X-WoW players.
I hardly consider it Tasos' fault that funcaom was unoriginal enough to take an unintentional blow from a swipe at the largest game in the MMO genre, and quite frankly, agree with the post that would slap Blizzard for exploiting players' investment in time/money, as opposed to having player skill.
I have to disagree, I tried WoW and it wasn't for me, yet I'm quite fond of what Age of Conan offers, and it appears to be quite different, many people consider Blizzard quite amazing, and I too agreed in the past, though I only really liked starcraft so until recently I've been quite disappointed.
I played a few trials of WoW with some friends, but it was never really for me, since I wasn't a fan of warcraft, the lore, races, etc, it didn't interest me, I've played many many MMOs, and yes, its true, Blizzard was very lucky with WoW, there is nothing that gives it the right to be more popular then other MMOs, it isn't special, most WoW players just do not seem to know of the existence of other MMOs, and by now, when they know they exist, they bash them and think their game is the best.
Having read much on Age of Conan, seeing dev and player videos, and reading up on the whole experience from people who didn't like it, and those who did, I can say that it sounds fairly enjoyable to me in contrast to all the MMOs I do not like, while most of Darkfall's ideas are good too, I don't like the whole "freedom" thing, yes, I like "freedom" in games, but it seems too chaotic to have as much freedom as Darkfall provides.
I'm sorry, I flat out don't see where all your hope and faith comes from for Darkfall, I admit pretty much every MMO that has come along has failed to give me everything I've wanted in an MMO, but having read even the "promises" alone for Darkfall, from what I consider do-able, and the extent I can see it being done, it doesn't exactly get me to soil myself, nothing about it really screams amazing, I'm sorry but I do believe a few years down the line when it enters some sort of closed beta, you will be disappointed.
This thread is being locked as it has spiraled way off course and I'd like to refer many of you to one of our forum rules:
1.) No personal attacks or flames. This includes, but is not limited to insulting others for their comments and/or ideas, language skills, age, sex and religious beliefs.
Attack the opinion, not the person. Flaming of users on our forums is unacceptable, personal attacks on our staff, even more so.
