*grabs popcorn*
The vapor-tards have been most entertaining of late. |

WHO CARES? lol The only people who care are the fanbois and the trolls. What's the point of speculating? The game isn't worth all the attention the fanbois and vapor-tards are giving it until after the game releases.

Grinding is the worst idea ever integrated into a game... I would much rather have fun. |
I don't quite understand how you're able to remove yourself from the argument saying you're a third-party, after saying, "Obviously they're not afraid of that, as the closed beta proves" to me claiming the following, "It scares me if Adventurine's this afraid of having their game leave the studio...It really scares me." Frankly, I'll put it very simply. I've explained why things seem shady on Aventurine's end. And you'vePproven once again that you're unable to garnish any proof of a beta. You've argued over nothing, proving nothing { Mod Edit }. |

I'll agree with you here I know two testers and have seen just a couple of (really minor) leaks (which makes me think their numbers are fairly small) but the important thing is ... WHO CARES? I would love to see the above And why do I care? Likely because I've some free time between sleeping, and getting home from work. Oh, and the fact that the idea of this game is unique, and I've never played anything like it before. Sorry, I'm excited, and Aventurine's not helping things by attempting to sell some swamp-land property.

You see, you are the perfect example of why I lurk here and why this forum is so much fun! To any other gamer Darkfall's closed beta is just like any other. ie - Ignore until free trial or release. Here, people (both fanbois and trolls) actually bother to argue over whether or not the closed beta is fake. WHO CARES?!? To an average gamer, a game is either Released or Not Released with no inbetween. Darkfall is obviously in the "Not Released" catagory here, so it doesn't deserve the huge ammounts of time that the fanbois and troll-tards have devoted to it in debating every minor or inconcequential thing.
And yet they do.
Quite sad really.

The average gamer also buys AoC without waiting for reviews, and ends up getting what he/she paid for. They also doesn't usually play this form of an MMO. What I'm saying is that the uniqueness of this game makes it worth spending time on. I see more potential in Darkfall's "closed-beta" than in any other MMO currently out there and I would love to be in it. While Released, or Not Released is the criteria that I usually go by, Darkfall's an outlier for me. And yes, I'm actually glad you enjoy beginning arguments, then refusing to back your claims. It does make for some enjoyable times. Care to change subjects again?
EDIT* Are you going to offer proof of the beta yet? |

There are SO many erronious assumptions in that statement.
1 - Why would I - as an average gamer - have access to inside resources that can prove, or disprove, a closed beta? 2 - Why would I - as an average gamer - care? Every mmo game out there goes though a closed beta. My Care-o-meter doesn't even twitch until the game releases. As an average gamer, i just take the develoepr claims at face value and pretty much just ignore the game until it comes out. 3 - Why would I - as an average gamer - need to prove that Darkfall is having closed beta? If the developers claim that they are having one, then fine. I'll try to care about the development history of the game after it releases and I'm playing it. The real question is ... why do you care enough to claim that the beta is fake?
About AoC. It sold well because all the stupid fanbois bought into the hype and pre-ordered. Then us average gamers got sucked in because all the reviews were "OMGZ!!! TH1S G$M£ 1S T£H %H!T!!!!! - 11/10!"

You tend to ignore your own previous posts, don't you? Must you make me pull up this many references?
The following are answers to your questions, in the same format 1 - In a previous post you said "I know two testers and have seen just a couple of (really minor) leaks (which makes me think their numbers are fairly small)" So really, you've enough information to make an assumption. What I've been asking for is your proof, so that I can use it for myself. 2 - Are you saying this to offer reason as to why you offer no proof of your claims? Is it that you feel since you're an "average gamer" you don't need to argue your statements, since they don't matter in the first place? This entire argument began because you said the closed-beta was proof in itself that Aventurine doesn't need to prove anything. Upon being asked for your reasons and proof, you produced nothing except revolving logic. 3 - If you really feel this way, why enter the discussion on a forum like this, especially if you're not prepared to offer information to back your claims. You "did" start this argument, yet now you refuse to finish it. I've already answered why I'm here twice, apparently you can't read.
And yeah, I'm sorry that you bought into the hype. Last time it happened to me was when I purchased Gothic 3. I was all excited because I'd be a part of the third installment of my favorite games at the time...Wow, was I raped for 40 dollars. Never again will I jump on a bandwagon, even if I am part of the beta. I will always wait for some educated reviews, several weeks after release. |

Look, I made this thread to be one of constructive information, not yet another thread for arguing crap. Now, can you two agree to disagree, or do I need to have the staff do some pruning so the thread is not locked? |
