UO lovers rejoice!

Darkfall Unholy Wars is a hardcore MMORPG supposedly launching on Steam on 12/12/2012

Features include:

- Full Loot
- Sandbox game
- Clan city capturing/building
- huge world up to 10,000 simultaneous players

Anyone else hopping on this shit? I played the first game at release and it was probably the most fun I've had in an MMORPG ever.

---------------------------------------------

A worthy successor for the sandbox MMO Darkfall Online, or vaporware for real this time?

I always have this tiny bit of hope some really good fantasy sandbox MMO will emerge. Darkfall Online, Xsyon, Mortal Online, Dawntide all failed. Very Happy

meh.. Played all these wannabe fail sandbox mmo's Played DF the longest...

The only thing I can reccomend is STAY AWAY from this game, DF 1 was pretty decent, but all the duping dev favoratism and mostly crappy faulty buggy mechanics made it a crappy game. And now with the huge xp bonuses .. pretty much says fuck you to anyone who played the game when you didnt get 10x xp/loot.

Besides the 1(Df 2 was announced like.. 2 years ago(was called DF 2010 first and theres just 1 little techdemo video for df2) looks exactly like df 1 with some added lightning. Muh!

I received an e-mail:

Darkfall Unholy Wars New Release Date

Despite our best efforts to hit the November 20th launch date, we fell just
short of the mark. A combination of external factors, last minute issues,
and final testing feedback forces us to push back the release date to
December 12th, 2012. Read More http://www.darkfallonline.com/blog/?p=3366

Ah okay, that explains it. Very Happy

As a matter of fact it is more a subliminal message in and of itself. Raising awareness subliminally is just my cup of tea bro.

Also it's kind of launching in 2 days.

Indeed very few games give you that rush. This is like DayZ without zombies and guns lol I'm always so paranoid and go into hunter/hunted mode.

I can't say much, having never played it or the original, but the video above makes combat (and by extension the rest of the game) feel incredibly shallow.

He's basically running and hopping around like an idiot, spamming one spell over and over. If all it comes down to is gear and cheap tactics like that, well....


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

it's not the most complex system yea, you have like 8 spells max but hopping=dodging and aiming actually maters and it's all part of the fun. gear is not thaaaat important since it's all very small upgrades only.

guess this game is really not for everyone but so was ultima online back then.

i bought guild wars 2 and played it for like 10 minutes. this game i am already playing longer than 2 weeks and i'm still having fun, so...works for me Smile

Game is retarded and a joke of what DF1 was. If the first one had somewhat sandbox gameplay, it has been removed completely and derpified.

It won't last long that's for sure. All the classes aren't even in game yet LOL.

it might look easy and derp, but actually what he's doing is hard as fuck, and hes using more spells than 1 =), its more the tactics to keep mana/life/stam up not to get faceraped

Fail, if you played DF1 you would know what a fuckfest of everyones a mage now the game turned into.. UW is not derpified at all.. It actually adds much more to it than df1 had. Yes some mechanics are still not in but they are doing well with patching and additional stuff so far. 4 weeks ahead for a new school each to each class to come as well..

Of course its AV one does not ignore that but from what they done so far its looking like they will hold true to the content list to come.

let us know how UW to DF1 is less sandbox? do tell Very Happy

Yeah I'm sure the 1000 people are having a jolly time I'm telling you it won't last long, another half a year max before population dwindles.

AV is a joke and simply break more than they fix. I wouldn't expect anything more from a company that is situated in a country that has gone bankrupt. They're out for a quick buck, while having significantly less content than the first.

Everyone was a mage you say? Yeah, that was the only problem. At least the combat was fluid, no rollbacks ever happened, all dungeons and spells and classes were in from the start, and mahirims were fucking WOLVES not people. Race wars and alignment systems were actually features, now we get a beta with everything stripped to make way for "classes". What a joke.


If you think it's "funny" that 99% of any forums related to Darkfall are just people whining I feel sorry for you. That means it is the general consensus of gamers that the game sucks, period.

I mean I'd understand if it was a SWTOR forum but fucking everybody hates on DFUW - MMORPG.com, official Darkfall forums, Steam forums, even Reddit.

Name me this hidden forum where people are talking good about this joke of a sequel, enlighten me.
