If you go to www.betaleaks.com and look under the darkfall leaks forum, you will see they do have a confirmed beta leaker who has been doing his best to try and answer lots of questions, you will have to register to see the leak forum, the regular darkfall forum you can view as a guest.. I have read through the whole thread and the results are promising to me, save for the fact that they have so much stuff turned off. The leaker has been doing well in answering questions and put forth alot of info considering people where nearly 100% in the dark before.




Or he could be some guy that is doing his best to discredit the game to help lay the foundation to promote the game his employers are going to release in direct competetion.

What I'm saying is he could be schlepping for a rival company. There is an industry out there that does nothing but troll forums and post like they have an inside track to promote or discredit products. These people become active participants in various gaming groups just for that purpose.

Why would someone risk a beta slot that doesn't seem easy to come by just to tell people a game isn't ready?

I'm not a fanboi, I frankly have no preference for DFO over any other game. I just want to game with everyone else, if the game is DFO, I'll play DFO. I'm just trying to throw a word of caution in here.

A valid concern. Lots of people have been hating on DFO for a long time, for no apparent reason.

Though I do not doubt the game will not be "ready", no MMO ever is. Especially not one worth playing. AC was the closest thing to a decent MMO that was "ready" and even it had many many issues at launch. Lots of assorted small things and odd balancing etc..

Look at EVE, it took a couple years for that game to really become truly viable.. our best hope for DFO is that it doesnt suck technically as bad as SB did... and that the core of ppl who want this style of game stick with it and the devs do like EVE and improve the game over time not like AoC, where the devs try to sink the game as fast as humanly possible.

The betaleaker is not slamming the game at all, in fact he is doing the opposite. Also, hes completely anonymous. www.betaleaks.com is trusted, they make sure a person is really in the beta before allowing them access to post on the leak forum, aka he sent them some kind of info that proved it, whether it be screen shots or whatever. If you read through you can tell he is as real as you or me. Also, before you say 'well maybe hes an employee of Aventurine then'; If aventurine wanted info out on the game, they would announce it.

edit: this guy on www.betaleaks.com is not the person from the original slamming post, he came forward to shed light on the game objectively. Right now he is saying they have the server down so they can put out a new build of the game, and when it comes back up, he will answer more questions~

It is 100% reliable as far as I am concerned, if you read through it, you will see.

I followed betaleaks for Warhammer, and almost all the facts they said were 100% correct. However, it's the opinions you have to ignore.

But the thing about the melee problems in DFO, that's probably true.

Not too long to wait if it's really Jan 22 anyway.

This was posted in the Darkfall thread on the SA forums:

Quote:

From what I have seen, this game is going to launch for Europe at their posted deadline.

From what I can piece together is that it will be released in NA a month later, to the day (30 to be exact)

Everyone saying how it is broken etc. I wish you were in beta, it is not as bad as some of you are talking.

People, please just keep thinking it is what a baby would look like if Ultima Online and Shadowbane were the parents, maybe with DAoC as the godparent.




So, from this, I think we all know what the major question is...

In the relationship of UO and SB, who would be the woman?

Edit: You can chalk up the '30' to either the guy forgetting what month he's talking about, or as a clue that it's all a bunch of bullshit.

Edit: Oh, 30 days. Whatever. Only way this could be possible is if they had a secret NA publisher lined up.

Why is that the only way? The NA release is going to refer to a server setup for North America, they will already have a digital download setup~ GNI the company that will be running the servers is based out of California, so I think that is in line, considering 3/4ths of the awaiting player base is north american~

Looks like a bunch more info is leaking out of the beta.

betaleaks.com is gone, replaced by a new version of the site, but one of the mods is still running a blog dedicated to darkfall leaks, lots of good info here http://darkfallleaks.blogspot.com/
