Darkfall News - Wrong Prediction, Tasos will pull out the four legged run !

[Mem]

Given the current situation, I'll fall on my sword and say I think this will be his "surprise" very soon, even though they ruled it out. Plenty have told me it will never happen.

He needs a rabbit for his NA launch. A four legged sword and board wolf with a speed gain, melee powerful, is balance IMHO. (Even a crouch sprint wolf only) Starting stats seem essentially irrelevant in the long run, but hit boxes matter the most unless you have aoe. Going within range of a melee wolf should be fatal, and getting away hard. Orcs to melee should be even harder hitting. Not just both bigger targets. Maybe melee stam loss should be lowered in parry a fair bit.

Darkfall Expansion Pack Link

Update June 24 *some spin here too, obviously !

On the American server: The American server will launch on July 7th. Characters from the European server can be cloned and moved without their possessions 3 months after the American launch. Certain restrictions and charges will apply, to be announced at a later date. In the meanwhile if you want to play on the American server at launch you need to buy the American Darkfall client. More information on the American server will be available in a few days.

Darkfall will launch a massive free expansion update the first week of July, something that the Darkfall team has been working on for a while now. This expansion includes major new features and major content, PvE, and PvP updates.

In the last few patches we had implemented several major optimizations making it possible to support even larger battles and sieges and more concurrent users than ever before. As a result, massive battles now run smoother than ever. We've seen some of the largest and the highest frequency of massive battles this past month, which has helped us find even more ways to optimize the Darkfall experience.

As a result of these optimizations we've also been able to keep sales open most of the time. We're still being careful because Darkfall resubscription rates remain very high even though this is a time for exams and/or vacations. It's still difficult to buy Darkfall but we hope that after the US servers have launched it will be easier for new players to learn about and to buy Darkfall.

To that effect, a new site is coming, along with new forums for Darkfall players only. These forums will be readable by the public and only players with active accounts will be able to post in them. The current public forums will remain active for anyone to post in, but moderation will be stronger. This because we're getting people from other communities with the sole intention of disrupting our forums. The Darkfall community has always been a source of good feedback, constructive criticism, and inspiration for the Darkfall developers and we'll keep it that way by doing away with the non-constructive elements.

Our next major patch will be included in the Darkfall expansion the first week of July.

Thank you for reading

Older News - 40 v 50 Slamfest

Watched a mate take part in a defense of a city under seige, with talented attackers and full on geared players, well i got to tell you, its a bag of fun.

There are some awesome players rattling around DFO and seeing the teamwork and organisation that goes into a mid sized battle is pretty cool. No server issues throughout this one that I saw.

The Knights of Glory and Beer (KGB) along with a myriad of different race and class toons launched a well oraganized probing assault, harassing and harrying over the initial period to feel out the opposition.

Then its just on for young and old, a great spectacle. Lots of tension because your assets are on the line...

*edit See if the footage can be converted to a flash or you tube link from one of these battles.

In the meantime these are reasonably close:



ALSO yes you guessed it, someone tried the whitespace exploit on our clan just like the SCARY BAD GUYS did below.

Old:

A bloodthirsty Weekend indeed in our current AO....

An Eighty man/woman clan moved into the area and two ARAC friendly Goon squads also.

At the same time.

who is SBG? - Darkfall Forums
and this...
ROFL Bank looted - Darkfall Forums (thanks Prep H)

For players in other PVP games (maybe really any game with any form of theft), the current info is that it is a whitespace exploit:

Blanks in between and after names are often removed on the in game interface. Although I am sure most of you experienced guys would have been onto this sort of thing years ago.

On a side note it reminds me of people using odd character set chars in names in Shadowbane so people couldn't target you by typing. Substituting capital "i" and l based on font etc have been mentioned in other posts as tricks to watch out for.

TOGs policy and process of clanning people, having voice, etc in Darkfall that Deadmans told me would have prevented this, thanks guys.

Ok so what you need to do to be able to view the various guild forums, including the Darkfall forum, is register at the website. To do this, go to the Barracks thread in the public forums and follow the instructions in the sticky on how to join TOG. Once they have approved your app you will be a member of the TOG gaming community and get access to all the guild forum threads, including the Darkfall thread.

Then, in game, you need request to join "TOGs" in the clan window. Let me know if you dont know how to do this.

Then, to join the TOG DF division on the TOG website, you need go down to the Darkfall division section and post your in game name in the "Clan Invite" sticky thread.

Once you've completed these three steps, you will be a member of the clan in game and on the website. There's ventrillo information in the Darkfall guild section on the website and we encourage members to use Vent. In any case, please send me a PM if you have any difficulties. Thanks for considering TOG

You can direct download the game through the gamearena.com.au and games.on.net they are both australian sites so the speeds should be fairly good.

Darkfall Political Map

A nice alternative to the sinister feed. Perhaps more readable for bloggers and web sites to refer to. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

[Reoh]

Reminds me of the old Shadowbane maps with all those blips around. Are those player cities too?

[Deadmans]

Reoh yes what you are looking at on that map is all the player cities and hamlets in the world of Agon. That is the Political map actually and it shows the name of the guild owning the city and what alliance it is a apart of in the world.

In each race area on the map there is another 5-6 cities or towns that are run by NPC's with various vendors, crafting stations, banks, and more. In the world of Agon the devs have done a fairly good job at spreading the races around so as not to give any race a major advantage over the rest.

[Reoh]

I didn't realise you could make your own player towns, thats a really cool feature

[Max Damage]

Not only that, Reoh, but building a hamlet or a city gives you access to better resources, and equipment. It really is the "end game" aspect of Darkfall - own a city/hamlet, grow the clan resources and wealth, war against your enemies, defend your territory.

Many think DF is just a one dimensional PvP slugfest, but the GvG aspect is probably the real strength of the game.
