Great. I just edited my post to explain my reasoning for why darkfall was not worth resubbing but then the damn server signed me out and when I hit submit everything was deleted and was prompted to log back in.
Well to sum it up: (bear with me here)
You buy darkfall
sign in with a class at a starter-town
walk around and see less than 2 players (9 times out of 10)
talk to one of the four exact-same NPCs at every single town
realize the quest system blows balls
venture out and find some bullshit spawn
kill shit for 1-4 weeks until you find a clan
grind your skills
go on an occasional raid
grind
prevent a raid
grind
wait for an upcoming patch which promises to make you cream your pants
wait
wait
wait
wait
realize the patch is poorly executed and even with that patch the game still seems like its 50% finished
grind
gather
grind
pvp
wipe your ass with $15
flush
I mean the fact that its 3D does not help the game what-so-ever. Everything is so impersonal, in UO when you talked the text was over your head so you knew if the person you were talking to was listening. In darkfall I feel like im always alone in a fucking MMO for fucks sake. When i talk into the box even in the large chat rooms... its like im talking to a wall. The game world is so damn huge, and so damn empty its ridiculous. Yes i know they added some random bullshit. Still, theres literally (the EXACT SAME) 4npcs per city, then depending on the city theres 2-5 players inside it. Yes I know everyone is in their 'clan city' but that is pretty shitty for pvp. Its like 'trammel' in your city, fucking impervious to attack. Might as well have a PVP off button because when you go into your clan city thats basically what happens. Then if you do get attacked, you have a fucking 24 hour notice.
There is no such thing as Casual PVP in this game. Theres no point... why? to kill some newbie who will probably end up quitting because you just ganked his 2 hours of gathering 50 gold. Its all giant fucking battles, where you spam elemental magic and hope to hit the broad side of a fucking barn.
the PVP: sucks IMO. First of all, theres nobody anywhere. If there are people out in the world its either
a. a complete newb spawn camping, not even worth griefing
b. a random person gathering
c. a giant gank squad
then you have to chase these motherfuckers for up to an hour because stamina goes down so ridiculously slow, especially on a mount. Once you catch up its a spam fest of spells and swinging your dick around trying to hit a lamp. There is no such thing as a 'different build' everyone makes the exact same type of pvp character, and pvps the exact same way, everytime. No diversity what so ever.
The economy: useless. The whole point of getting money is grinding, after that the economy is insanely useless. Even crafting is completely pointless. No one buys shit, i mean why would they? When the materials cost more than the fucking item themselves, the prices are goin to suck. Everyone would rather just go get some shit off spawns or wait until they kill somebody in a clusterfuck raid. Once you've grinded your skills you might as well forget that money exists because its pretty much pointless.
The game in general is just boring. Sure its somewhat fun but really how many times can you spam a spell pointed at some enemy city and have fun.. how many times are you gonna chase somebody for an hour for some uneventful, completely linear pvp?
The reason why darkfall doesnt advertise is because they KNOW that the game was released 50% finished. Even now the game is still only about 70% done. They just NOW added random spawns. Are you kidding me? the game has been out for almost a year.
I literally resubbed, signed on for 20 minutes and deleted the game. Wasted fucking $15. Somebody plz refute what I just said, because you cant, because this game sucks. the end.
