Well, as you know I've had darkfall for over a week now, and well I haven't had much time to play, however over this weekend, I did give it a proper go.
Darkfall is basically a game which you will either Love or Hate. And there are many many things to Love and to Hate. Some things are really annoying, like the Crappy Animations, sometimes its difficult to switch weapons, because you have to sheathe it and also the lag sometimes causes people to appear in a different posistions. Also, this runs like an FPS, but without the fps responsiveness that you find in games like CS or BF.
However, that being said, this is an MMO with FPS type combat, actually it reminds me a lot of Neocron, and if you have played Neocron, then this is almost a carbon copy, but with many many many more players. So what is there to love? Well FFA PVP. This game is basically PK after PK after PK after PK, and if your best buddy tries to steal your mob, or accidently hits you, then its PK... not only that, after you kill him, you can loot ALL of his items.
I think after initially hating this game, I actually really really love this concept, its bring a lot of adrenaline while playing, so when you are running, you really are running for your life. Also the cc is very very limited, which is good. Although it does take a long time to kill certain players, I think less CC is always better than too much CC. Actually, i prefer this game many many many many times more than War. And I would say its neck and neck with AOC, except has a lot more depth and client stabilty than AOC, so that is definately a plus. You can run the client for hour and hours without crashing, and that really make me happy.
Well as a PVP guild (as always), we are tiny, but very active (about 6), but with more of Boss joining us in DF, we will surely make an impact, if you are able to bear all the problems, I would invite all Boss to come and join us so we can grief other guilds. We are about to make an Alliance with Bad Karma who also have about 5-6 players, and will roam DF and hire ourselves as Mercenaries.
This will definately be a fun few months if more of you newbs will come join us. This game has a lot of depth, you just have to give it a chance, and will certainly fill the gap until the next awesome game comes out (globalagenda), however i remember SWG took about 1 year to get awesome, and this game remind me a lot of SWG, and since they haven't made millions of server, but only 1 atm, that means we arnen't going to see the same problem of AOC and WAR of empty servers after month 1.
