WHAT IS A RELAUNCH?





Quote:
The Darkfall relaunch: First an ETA: Development should be completed sometime in August and we should know around that time when we’re going to release it and we’ll give out a release date and all the details. This relaunch is not an expansion. It’s a new game we’ve been developing in parallel with the current version of Darkfall. The scope is massive, and it has been difficult to stay on schedule after several unexpected issues we’ve had with the current version, changes and additions we decided to make for the new version, some business developments, and the decision to add the siege system into this version of the game rather than in the relaunch. There are shifting priorities having to do with business issues for this relaunch, and another part being some Asian developments we also need to take into consideration. We can assure you that everything we’re doing in this regard is in the best interest of our players and of Darkfall, and that the relaunch of the game will be very exciting for everyone.

Finally, we try to give you estimates based on our best information at any given time. This is done with the understanding that this is a dynamic environment and that priorities shift every day based on feedback from the live game and from the development process. We understand the frustration of being a player waiting for things to change. We’ve been there, and this is exactly why we’re moving forward with a complete redesign of the game incorporating the lessons learned from the current version, rather than just keep patching up this version. Please know that we are very hard at work trying to make Darkfall the best it can possibly be. We apologize for the inevitable inaccuracies in trying to predict the stages of our development cycle, but we feel it’s better than “it’s done when it’s done”.


What does this mean for the existing player base? Comments?

Looks like it means you're starting over, possibly combining NA and EU. If they allow character transfers from the current darkfall, I won't even try it. If they are starting over, I may give it a shot to see what or if they really changed the problems.

The main issue I have is with Duping and other exploits. Some people in the game play 24/7 so when they find an exploit they've used it to the max by the time AV would find out. If they can keeps these to a minimum, that would be a big plus.

df had a big drop in activitie, so they announced this, I already saw several df players, playing warband-cRPG. They are not crazy to reset a 1-2 year character development to be viable.

But there is a problem in real world and virtual world, once the customer is disapointed they do not come back.

That rudie poot bumba rasta-pastahead calls me for her daily info.

I foresee, white men in suits coming for you...the letters "I" and..."R", seem to be prominent, and it looks like a "S". Seems your Uncle is going to visit you Miss Cleo, and ask for some money.

I am not sure if they reset characters, regardless if they do it or not unless they fix the grind there absolutely no point of trying to "fresh start" it.

Even if they fix bunny hopping, ray cycling, bubble, knock-ups and so on... nobody going to suffer through years of grind to get to the endgame.

Sure even with grind, first few month after reset going to be fun, but once power-gap kicks in it will be quitting time for everyone who gave it another shot.

We thought we were promised a player skill based game. We got the worst grinder ever.
Until they remove the grind for PvP relatd things, they can forget about more than couple month surge of activity here and there.

If they remove it, add some much needed graphic perks (bumpmapping anyone ?) and advertise even a little they can relax and enjoy the money.

You can be skilled up in a matter of a couple months if you glitch out mobs and have a way for someone to push you all the resources needed to gain the skill. What takes years of actual game play is getting your stats up to a point in which you are competitive. The only skills that take a while to level up are the ones that allow for damage mitigation.

Darkfall is just a bad system, and has been since we were playing early EU Alpha. The crux of the problem is one Sr. Developer and his Epic Ego.

Fuck you Tasos, I will see you in hell and enjoy shoving a pineapple up your bunghole backwards.
