Darkfall

Now that Darkfall has had a public showing, it is gearing up for open beta, then eventual launch. However, this means that it has to start reaching out to the general public... and this may not go over well.

To this point there have been two large (and vocal) groups:

Fanbois, who blindly praise the game, and violently oppose anyone that doesn't agree with them.

Haters, who ridicule the game, and violently oppose anyone that doesnt agree with them.

Now, with the game being exposed to the general public... BOTH of these groups will continue thier relentless tirades of hate to all who do not totally share thier beliefs.

That means if I dont think that this is the best game in the world... I am suddenly a hater, and all the fanbois will try to pummel me.

That means that if I dont think that this game sucks... I am suddenly a fanboi, and all the haters will try to pummel me.

So, look around this board... and tell me, do you see the 'normal' players being welcomed?

If it's a good game it will grow.

I hope the normal player stuck in between will be the biggest part of the DF population.  The fanbois and haters will be to busy trolling forums while we others play the game.

And how many times a day doesntwe hear cryes about a different MMO? Darkfall is a different MMO. Every player that wants to be part of something bigger will aim fo Darkfall.

Darkfall may be different... we dont know yet.

How many 'different' MMO's have failed, because they were not mainstream enough? WoW didn't succeed because it was 'different' but rather it succeeded because it did things right.

People play MMO's because they want to interact with other people... if those other people are actively hostile to them, most dont want to stay.

  Hostility isn't that high at Forumfall. The occasional spicy rant for the kicks and laughs - sure, but seriously hostile when people go all emo dots, caps lock and excess punctuation and you have in your head the clear image of them hitting their face in the keyboard repeatedly. This i've seen only here and over at WoW forums after someone's class got nerfed.

I know i'm looking for something different and more mature than the bog standard WOW clones available atm maybe this is it maybe it isn't will wait and see with fingers crossed

 

Darkfall may be different... we dont know yet.  From what I've read Darkfall is going to be different from the average WOW clone MMO's available

How many 'different' MMO's have failed, because they were not mainstream enough? WoW didn't succeed because it was 'different' but rather it succeeded because it did things right.As far as i can tell WOW succeeded because it went deliberately average and in effect was different by being completely average.  Personally i couldn't stand it so so really can't say it succeeded for my part

People play MMO's because they want to interact with other people...I don't care about interacting with others tbh but I do like the feel of not being ingame alone lol  if those other people are actively hostile to them, most dont want to stay.  If u mean hostile by the immature idiots that gank u 3 on 1 with such intellectual cries of noooob and GAY when they inevitably kill u and just spend their time thinking everyone should listen to their insults the I couldn't agree more

 

Both fanbois and Haters get on my tits too so I hope they don't do too much damage here

Yeah thoric your right, its pretty bad here.... probably because most are from WoW, f2p mmo's or people let down by AoC. lol

I havnt even seen that many blind fanbois on here really, just people who are interested in the game and are refuting and getting really pissed off at all the ignorat trolls that come on here and slag the game off for no reason.

I have tested all MMOs we have seen the last thre years. And there were none that were different. Many claimed to be, but they all ended up as bad WoW-clones.

Doesnt matter if thay have a really cool concept gameplay wise, if they try to squize it in a WoW theme : (

You forgot the Followers, people who like the game but can criticise it if they don't like something.
I am in this category.
For now I like the game design, the graphics and Aventurine attitude not to boast about the game and all the future "missing" features at every occasion (Funcom anyone?)

Of course if things start to look dodgy, I will be the first to raise the alarm, and like me there are many people out there.

Anyway the normal players, who stands between the followers and the haters, will read in amusement all the fireworks, but they will wait until open beta before trusting either of the opposing factions.
So don't worry about them :)
