Darkfall Unholy Wars

[Banok]

it was a really good interview tho, we actually learnt some cool things. one of the best for me is that every account can have a NA and a EU character. having an NA alt just to show up to big sieges or tournements is cool.

Darkfall: Unholy Wars has been Greenlit on Steam after only 2 days on there!   

They've also released several vids recently showing some of the new roles. http://www.darkfallonline.com/blog/

the amount of interest in this game on this board is disappointing indeed

What role you guys gonna roll?

I'm thinking Archery or the fast/evading role which I can't recall the name of and to lazy to check.

I know Darkwulf and Sylauris are gonna play and Ima join them (use to play with them in DF 1.0). We will be rocking The Fallen Lords tags (clan).

is this up to date on all roles?

darkfall 1 never got an ounce of the attention it deserved, even now it is a technically impossible game to most developers even with hundreds of millions budget. so in comparison think unholywars is actually getting a bit of attention considering once again no marketing/advertising. if its well designed and decently polished when it releases on steam it could be a huge sleeper hit.

generally tho full loot games never appealed to many people, but dayz broke that mold and hopefully made people realise that full loot can work amazing if done right.

that is afaik up to date on roles, but we do know names of earth/air spells just not descriptions. also doesn't mention the known opposing schools.

I always wanted to be an archer but the arrow trajectory in videos still looks like df1 (really weak), i think it will be a hard class to play well. i am thinking of maxing a warrior role first simply because destroyer in darkfall 1 was really amazing vs zergs in sieges, and i want to be super effective in all the huge siegewars at launch.

in DF the main problem wasn't the pvp or full loot, you could put together a decent gearbag for a few thousand gold, more annoying was actually organizing it from your bag.

What chased people off was mostly the grind to get all your intensifies, masteries, archmage skill, etc. Macroing stuff. It basically took months of macroing overnight and grinding to get a non-gimped char. Which just wasn't acceptable for people.

As you mention the game engine itself is pretty solid so if they removed the grind it could be quite popular.

So what the hell is AV doing, 1 day to release and no word whatsoever, no page, no preorder, nuthin'.

Well, I'm going to wait a few days after release anyway, gather some feedback on just how grindy this game is and if it's worth it for non 24/7 gameplay.

knowing Tasos , must be a delay .....if not , it must be considered a new christmas , pink snow raising from  the ground and glowing ufos spamming commercial advertisements at any corner , in other words Tasos is the king of trolls , sorry chadz.

I said before most people should avoid 12/12/12 since there is no beta. now it will actually get a proper launch (hopefully), with stable with steam and full content.

for us die hard fans its only really a 5 day delay, im pissed too but SO much overreaction. this is much better for the game, only really stupid thing is that they made this decisions the night before launch not >1 month ago.
