DarkFall Athens event!

[invadertim]

Some info on the Athens event in Greek and posible the open beta will be finished.

As far as I'm aware at this time no new information is being released at the event. However odds are people who attended will begin posting their perceptions of the event today or tomorrow.

An update on the event and how it went will come from Aventurine at a later date, however as this was basically a local PR sort of thing don't expect that they got information you guys don't have. It's the sort of thing to get more people who don't know about the game interested in it.

The event was great, about 120 people watched the presentation although at first Tasos feared there would not be many people because of the day an hour it took place. The game was there, running live, over the internet and not some offline version. Performance is great although I don't know what kind of machine they were running it on and it was running for a good hour I think without crashing, glitching or showing any other problems. Right at the end of the presentation the game seemed to crash to the desktop and everyone when uh-oh. But the message that poped up was that the connection to the server had been lost… Greek internet connections ftw.

The big news that I was told I can share with the community is that OPEN beta will be FINISHED by the start of December and release will follow soon after. So… stay on your toes.
Here are some pics.

HOLY CRAP!!! cant wait for OPEN BETA this game looks sooo awsome and i hope we get in

[vimick]

and the hype begins

[Morris-POE]

Lol darkfall shouldnt be hyped i mean it looks freaken sweet ima play it but hype just kills the game and overfeeds the minds of waiting players lol which when they get in feel extremely disapointed

[corasked]

that game sucks anyway it has horrible animations

[Vesper]

The game looked great... 3 ****ing years ago.

You have to admit, nowadays in alot of mmorpg, graphics is everything, even if the players say "GAMEPLAY IS EVERYTHING!!!", if the graphics get dull/glitchy, no one will play that game.

Actually graphics to me is 0% of how I judge a game. The only graphics I dont like are nothing but pixeled 2d 32x32 tile things or whatever..

Gameplay is probably around 80%, cash shop balance 19%, music/sounds 1%

Thats how I judge a game.. Not hard to impress me.. game needs to be smooth movement is biggest factor.

Lol ya bryan i said the game thing EVERYONE CARES about graphics i could care less about graphics and we dont want darkfall to have fuking oblivion graphics becuase i dont think any computer will be able to handle it if theres going to be 10k players on each server.....i care about gameplay and the gameplay sounds awsome, dont judge a book by its cover poeple!

[Powster]

I play gunz on the lowest settings possible where everything is blurred and hardly colored.. lol I play it like that for better gameplay so I dont mind if on darkfall everything is ugly looking as long as its fun. Which hopefully it is going to be..

[Wicked315]

This is a 3D Ultima Online ( I dare you to say its not )

....How in ANY WAY...is that bad? Seriously?

Oh em gee, my guy isnt looking perfectly pixled, go QQ about graphics to someone who cares

[Vesper]

To all the people trying to give us reasons not to play this game, you just wasted 10seconds-1minute of your life. You're basically trying to convince a wall to break down, let us play whatever game we want.

Sup bitches, what now.

I state my opinion, I get tons of hostility, thankfully I'm not a mindless drone (i.e. fanboy/girl).

[GoharaMindFreak]

At last! A thread where the non-graphic whores have the crown!!!

[Morris-POE]

agreed with wicked also i really dont base games off graphics lol for all i care it could be a MUD game but i really enjoy gameplay i mean shit i played runescape classic for like 4 years damn man doesnt get worse than that

I agree with you, except I would make music/sound 15% and cash shop balance 5%. Only cause really good music/sound can be really immersive =)

[Tyrfing]

Yah, hype the game for its awesome gameplay and well-developed structure/system.

... wait. LULWUT.
