The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (ARCHIVE) Darkfall Members Forum Canceling DFO Account Until Further Notice

I have been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks, and I have made up my mind. I refuse to continue to pay in excess of $20 a month to play a mostly broken beta anymore.

Plenty of potential in Darkfall, Adventurine just isn't delivering on anything in any kind of timely manner, nor do they have any intentions of addressing most of the issues based on how they have communicated and delivered in the last three months. The future patch notes and the things they are working on are a far cry from any type of balancing major issues in PvP and Sieging.

Personally I don't want to AFK macro or Semi-AFK macro up Magic just to have a broken magic system. The PvE is beyond broken and is reduced to exploiting the AI by any number of means. Don't even get me started on the gear durability issue they created recently. Not to mention harvesting materials is about as enjoyable as watching SOMEONE ELSE'S paint dry.

So that leaves me with a stupid Siege system that I can't really enjoy because of horrible lag and a slideshow in anything with more then 40 or so people on the screen doing anything. In addition, the PvP is largely nothing more then twitch sprinting circle strafing, sprinting bunny hopping overpowered archery, and extremely long chases due because of the way mounts work with unpacking them on a simple quick macro and the total lack of encumbrance for carry multiple mounts. Because yeah, its reasonable to think you could have 10 horses in a bag and they have no weight, I mean come on.

Personally, I can get my twitch fix in the literally dozens of FPS titles I already own and don't have to pay an additional 20 bucks a month to play. It's not the money, its the principle of it.

With that said, I just paid my last month of DFO until they address the major BROKEN issues in this game. If they do that, I will return and may actually enjoy their attempt at what I, and many of you were looking for. A balanced PvP Sandbox world, in which FFA loot and a reasonable balanced system allowed for GLOBAL DOMINATION!!



P.S ~ Before you even go there, no shit no game is ever finished or completely balanced, but at the same time DFO is a broken piece of crap right now, with all the potential in the world once they actually implement half the stuff they KNOW they need too.

Take care mon! Hope you come back soon .

Later Taso, you're a cool guy. I hope AV gets a bit of it together and fixes things to make it a bit more enjoyable as well, but I'm still having fun.

Have a good one, hope to see you back.

I can totally understand you Taso, their sub fees are over 20 dollars a month? That is fucking crazy

With the Euro exchange rate currently its about $15 and some change. I live in a sales tax state, so add 11.5% to the base amount and tack on the Foreign Transaction Fee of $4.50 from WAMU, and the monthly sub fee is actually in excess of $20 a month. That is part of what actually made me start to think about the enjoyment value of the current state of the game vs. the monthly cost. Currently, the game isn't worth $22 bucks a month I am shelling out for this game.

The only thing they didn't hit us with is the EU Value Added Tax (VAT) that most the other players not in NA are subjected too.

Put it on a prepaid visa and you only pay %15 a month.

Anyways, good luck, sad to see ya go. I try to make my own fun. I can see how this could become incredibly boring incredibly fast.

Perhaps I should make this a little more clear.

I am taking a break from DFO until they figure out how to and actually do address some of the MAJOR issues that have this game in a paid beta status.

I am not leaving KGB in any way, shape, or form. I came here not because I was playing DFO and so was KGB, I came here because I have known off and personally known KGB players since the 1998-99 time frame from UO, SB, then SWG.

The one thing I have always liked about KGB was that it wasn't about the game you were playing, it was about the company you chose to keep, regardless of what game you were in.

i cant wait to play with you again (in game)

I guess now is a better time than any to say I will also be uninstalling it tonight. I need resources to do what I want to do but I don't have the time to get them. When I do get the time to go get them I get ganked and killed because I suck at PvP. I gave it a good shot and I still plan on coming back possibley in September when my schedule gets less frantic, but for now I am saying goodbye to Darkfall.

The last few weeks the times I have been on have been entirely too frustrating. Good luck to everyone. Hope to be back soon.

You guys are bumming me out, I just got in bitches, lol I'll be waiting for your return, and you will be sorely missed
