I was actually going to get DF UW on Monday when I can deposit my paycheck, since I am a returning player it's only $15 for the beta and a free month after launch. DF1 had similar issues with lag and login problems at launch and they fixed them fairly quickly and I would expect the same during beta(glad they held off on releasing it from the sounds of it). I have heard of a lot of people having fun though so still plan to get it considering how cheap it is, even if I only play the first month of launch with only 15 hours of gameplay it's worth it :P.

(these forums need an overhaul btw lol, not fond of the current theme/format and I do look forward to trying Salem here in a minute)

By any chance, do you really think your connection matters on the framerate you get?

Not to mention the beta build is running in debug mode and practically stuffing a ***** in the logfile. So far the game seems just fine, but I never played DF1. I do however wonder how by the gods did AV think this was ready to release in NOVEMBER (their first "release" date), when it's hardly out of alpha right now. They are doing a nice job at communicating with testers/players regarding the issues, so that's good.


It's to do with the devs unable to support every hardware to the fullest, what with the changes the newer ones have and AV probably having old/outdated rigs or something.

I don't like the melee animations too, it looks like something out of a game from 1997. But at least it's not the generic tab target combat. I can imagine PvP being fun.


This has always bothered by about darkfall, the utterly boring animations combined with

UI is not the best I've seen, but most of the DF1.0 people think it's still an improvement. Sure feels a bit like it's made for consoles lol.

This, the new darkfall looked very arcade-y in the trailers I watched, and a UI made for a console wouldnt help it.

i am sure it would matter if i was on a ****** dsl or dialup connection, just mentioned it as to eliminate some retard telling me to stop using dialup or some other terribly original and hilarious statement.

Perhaps in a really badly written game, where the client's engine actually waits and freezes until it gets sufficient data from the server to continue or something.

Ok I'm lost,this "new" Darkfail, is it releaseD? in beta? Open Beta?? The last new item says something about "Different from what we "would have" released.

Like CoD Black Ops 2? Gah that game is horrible and I regret buying it, I only bought that for the zombie mode and it was not what they advertised either.

There is still a lot of games with the subscription model(and I prefer them over F2P in most cases). Also DFO is the only game of it's kind available currently on the MMO market, so they wont have troubles(and have not in the past).
