The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (ARCHIVE) Darkfall Members Forum FAQ Discussion thread.

You know, there was one point, and I don't know how you guys did this in the past, but why isn't Vent Mandatory? I know, this may limit your membership, especially for those casual players ... but I was always of the opinion, AT THE VERY LEAST, you should be able to hear us on vent.

Having a mic isn't all the necessary, but when we're doing Group PvP, and coordinating, there's NO substitute for being in vent, even if your just listening.

The only problem i've come across though the years is when people don't use headphones and don't want their family to hear all the crap that goes on in vent, and even then, there's a simple solution. (use headphones)

Just my 2 cents.

Agree completely with your Vent sentiments. I really have a difficult time even remembering to type when in-game and using Vent. Only exception I'd make would be for Uber or someone with a similar reason for not utilizing Vent..

IMO only people who are totally self concious, or totally lazy do not have vent. (mostly #1, and for no good reason)

Vent is a must have for anyone who wants to compete in online gaming

headset - 10 bucks! get out of 1985!

I like the Alfar idea

You cant get pigon holed into one thing. it is skill base not race based.

Personally I like Human, always have, but I am not going to mandate. I am going to leave it up to the High Chancellor.

Alfar stats are caster biased? Highest INT and lowest STR.

Doesnt matter to me though

Humans have a roxor special weapon if we play good. But it may attracts a lot of newbies (less than Mirdain and Fur, but a lot).
Alfar may attract too much high e-peen guilds. It may be a problem, but it'll get us a lot of action.

those are starting stats. Just like UO, stats/skills/etc will be the same across all races. I like Humans as well, I was only stating Alfar becuase even before this FAQ/announce I was thinking about Alfar being the best becuase they are already at free range War with everyone.

I wouldnt mind human either, but i figure most everyone will be human and we will have to take a lot more counts that way.

either is good for me

Where's the dorf vote????

I say Alfar as well unless we discover that there are several races within close enough proximity to succeed with a ARAC stance. The important thing *in release* is for us all to group up immediately upon character creation and skill up in groups for mutual protection and maximum grindage, etc.

In beta, I think it's crucial we have characters across the boards so we can collect as much intel/data as possible for use in release!
