Yuk... ugly bastards... Any idea what they are?



The article can be found HERE! (http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/673/673107p1.html)

[Tormentius]

The texture on the 2nd pic looks slick. Sickly shiny. Nice.

[Xinnro]

they are messed up..thats what they are..

look nice as hell though

[Rhynn]

Alfar home territory native beasts?

[evolyze]

Alfar with ugly mothers.

[Mistereo]

Alfar pets! ;)

[Ceredwyn]

pretty damn cool

[Tormentius]

Just noticed the hind legs have two joints :D
If it werent DF i'd say it looked like a vampire/lykan hybrid that had been skinned...
But im sure the devs are making there own critters and the story behind this one wont be vampire/lykan

[Metal Wolf]

Looks like someone raised their family to close to the nuclear power plant.

Creapy cool lookin, The one in the second picture looks like those licker things from Resedent Evil a little. the rest look like mutant zombie elves ether resurected by a necro or some kind of spawn I guess.

[Orgalon]

I want one IRL heh

[Gunther TheBlack]

the 3 guys look a bit pirate like to me somehow :p

Haha yah i just said that in irc aswell about that "licker" creature :D

They should have rendered the tongue ;)

[Rhynn]

Hrm, Alfar version of werecat mobs maybe, the faces are the same, I'm guessing trasformation.

[Rincewind01]

mmmm gunky muscles.

[Figrix Voidstar]

Awww how cute!

[kehmesis]

I want 2 heads!

[Shaar]

Article is up as well, read it here! (http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/673/673107p1.html)

[kehmesis]

EDIT: I suck

[Gunther TheBlack]

I think you have to do some quest surrounding this race to become proficient in necromancy.

[Virtra]

A mob worthy of resident evil, very nicely done.

[kehmesis]

I thought friday would be xmas. I guess I'll have to satisfy myself with information about a race I would have prefered discovering in game.

[doma]

Yay for more info.
Looks good, I'm thinking of going necromancer.

[Gunther TheBlack]

Not a single update for you anymore!

just discover everything in-game then lol :p

[BLACKWATCH]

Creepy,and nice art.
The Skinless Dog, would make a great PET!!..

That games features are shapping up nicely!! Cant wait to Explore!..
:)

[NFX]

Fits nicely with the Travels of Agon.

[Darkmatter]

Can`t wait to meet one of those flesh-thingies during the night. Renders galore:) ..

[kehmesis]

Not a single update for you anymore!

just discover everything in-game then lol :p


Eh, I guess I'm too demanding. I thought the other updates were awesome. I just thought the last day of the week would be better than renders of one of the 100 npc races.

Nevertheless, I loved this week :)

[Gunther TheBlack]

Perhaps they should rename the fleshdog into fleshhound to sound more evil :D

[Erratic]

That dog thing looks just like the bad guys from Blade 2 imo... you know those things whose jaw opens and stuff... Anyway, I was hoping for more with the updates to... Oh well...

[Figrix Voidstar]

Cool looking; however, I'm with Kehmesis on this one. Just didn't seem like a suitable "peek" to me, I'd have much rather enjoyed something more related to naval capabilites, housing, castles and the like. Still happy with it though, I may need to do some dealings with these Arthain...

Question: Does IGN "week" coverage usually only last mon-fri? Or is it possible we will get two more days of glorious info?

[kehmesis]

If that's the case, I take back what I said. However, I think these things usually end friday.

[Shaar]

Well Age of Conan that was the week before was Mon-Fri and there no updates to RPG Vault during the weekend whatsoever so I guess its over... :(

[Phooey]

Definately looks cool... I can't wait to meet those guys in-game. :)

[Figrix Voidstar]

:(

bummer.

Well, back to waiting! The current info will certainly spice up the boards though, already we are seeing threads outside of the norm. I know it won't last, but it's good to see creative and intuitive threads again.

[kehmesis]

Yes, that's true. New things to talk about. I guess that's why I don't like the last update much, what the hell is there to talk about? Cool monsters, next!

I was hoping too much for a gameplay video ;) Like many others, I guess. But I can't say I can complain, my mornings were pretty fun this week :)

[Hagnasty]

My guess would be the alfar slaves since they have a variety of slaves that do all the grunt work. Everyone knows mutations happen ^.^

[Decius]

It's been a good week with the IGN info.

It's good to see that they are making PvE and quest NPCs interesting.

It would be great if this trend of putting out info continues. I'd love to finally hear some real info about NPC guilds, the crafting system, trade and resources (are they still regional or evenly distributed around Agon) while they're sharing. :)

If they do put out a gameplay video, I hope they show a city defense or naval fighting - or a coastal city being attacked from both land and sea. It would be interesting to see how tough magic and archery will be on melees charging in to a fight and some FPV from the caster and archers' perspective to see how hard it'll be to fire into a battle without hitting friends.

Other than that, I wish they'd give examples of what the hell runecasting is and what some example runic effects are.

[Gunther TheBlack]

Anyway, the reason why don't didn't show any screenshots after monday is this i think ;)

The last time they showed screenies with their graph settings at a higher setting they got "flamed" for having shitty gloom and blurry graphs (which imo were nice and smoothened the game ;) ) So i think they are still working on some details when you talk about the high grap settings and the eye candy. That's why they showed screenshots that were made with most graph settings being low or off on monday. Because of this people on the forums said it wasn't smart to release low quality pics when they could just put the eye candy on and blast us out of our shoes with the nice graphs they have. So they prolly found it a bad id as well and just gave us renders instead the next days :D


Not that it matters anything hehe

[Morlem]

EWWW... Yeah.. good job!

[Falstaff]

Thats an amazing ammount of sub-story for just a species of monster. Makes me think their pvm is going to be as good as their pvp, we might actually have a well rounded game on our hands.

[Deanicus]

reminds me of Doom for some reason.... very impressive though.

[Satorian]

I love this game. If the gameplay is anywhere near the level of what we've seen this week in terms of design and art, then this is going TO ROCK. :)

Bring on the game!

[Salazar[SG]]

those are some juicy concepts/renderings really starting to like DF EVEN MORE.

More of these updates please

[pjstyles]

wow looking good.

[Aragoni]

The secound pic gave me the creeps! imagine facing those bastards somewhere in a catacomb!

[-DarkRaver-]

Now you've done it... now half of the community here wont go anywhere NEAR the catacombs. Or am i the only pussycat here?*le sigh*

Lookin pretty slick though. :>

[Snog]

This was the best peek ever. Now I know who to go to for necromancy.

[Aeomus]

Amazing story behind these ugly bastards. The whole 3rd arm spellcaster thing makes me wanna be an Arthain...

[lok-tar-ogar]

those guys look sweet i particually like the flesh dogs

[Beal]

Looks like one of those monsters from The Descent. Cool movie too btw.

[focusinc83]

i'm so excited i can hardly contain myself :eek:

[wOrker]

I'm going to catch one of them things on fire and feed it to my clan, someone already skinned the beast for me! :D

[Bensidhe]

Hmmm...I wonder if they wimper like a dog when they get booted? :p ..Resident Evil did come to mind here . I think that Dwarven hammer is going come in handy for laying the smack down on any of those critters . Something about Fire and Alfar critters not mixing well :D ...or the Ghost Claw .
Maybe the Devs will let the Mahirim and the Flesh Hounds have a biting contest ...there are dogs, and then there are "the DAWGS" , know what I mean ;)

[Teth]

Well, now we know what mirdain are good for - helping sire malformed halfbreeds that can be turned into flesh-hound-thingies.

Yay for mirdain finally having a purpose! :D

[TheMageLord]

it shouldve been posted for halloween.

Bit more fitting i'd think... December is too late for freakish flesh monsters :D

[kehmesis]

That's only half of the mirdains. The other half evolved into superior beings.

But I'll throw in a "yay!" too.

[Seether]

Fleshdog...Cujo's brother?

[Trent Fireblood]

I want a pit full of fleshdogs.

[Jyibe]

"Flesh Golems leave behind trails of flesh and blood when they walk, and large chunks fall off when they are hit in a fight"

YES.

[Raybur Ravenloc]

That's only half of the mirdains. The other half evolved into superior beings.

But I'll throw in a "yay!" too.
i believe that other half you refer to fall under "malformed halfbreeds"

[Scorb]

Lets hope that the ground is as good as thous guys where. not like most games where some things are ubre good ,with high polugon rate put ground is stretched ( if you got my meaning :) )

[Nightblaze]

dated a chick that looked like that every time i logg'd on to play WOW. :cool:

[AkielVonStrife]

I'm not too excited about last weeks info. There were a few things mentioned that mildly caught my eye, but it really seemed to let me down more than anything.

[AkielVonStrife]

...let me down (AGAIN).

[RavenLord]

hmm...they didn

[Shaar]

[QUOTE=RavenLord]hmm...they didn

[AkielVonStrife]

I hope the next bit of info we get is either "Beta will be on X date" and/or "here's how our economy will work - in detail."

Maybe someone will be kind enough to send me an email when one of those two things happens.

[sm00th]

Instead of whining and complaining like little 5 year olds that didn't get their ice cream, how about you compliment the game makers for doing an outstanding job of giving multiple sneak peeks, screen shots, and other bits of info on the game that is being put together by a small number of ppl asap. I'd rather wait an extra month and have an amazing game than to whine on the message boards so that the creators rush through the creation process and have unfinished content. That's what happened in WoW with hero classes, which were supposed to be ready at release....which still haven't been introduced fyi. Give these guys a break... they're doing everything in their power to create an awesome game for YOU... ungrateful ppl piss me off.

Hmmm I kinda doubt you would say these words if you had been a member of this community for abour 2 years like many people here have. Truth is though that there are even people that joined like a month ago that complain about the game being late and that is kinda wierd but anyway... Not all people are patient.

[AkielVonStrife]

ungrateful ppl piss me off.

In the time I've been following Darkfall I've gotten married, had twins (that are now two years old), my wife is having a third child Soon(TM).

I don't even remember when exactly I originally registered on this site, but it was years before October 2003.

When Darkfall is finally here I'll be one of the happiest people following the game. Until then...

Kinda funny that you flamed this against akiel von strife (arius droc)

But it's impossible to know every little detail on this forum ;)

Yeh ungratefull people piss me off too but i don't think akiel is that ungratefull ehhe :)

[Psy - FA]

[PoeticRex]

Beta date please for a Xmas Present!

LOL. agreed with everyone .... dont post stuff like this. when uve been here a month... Some of us have been here for 5 years foolowin the game. IE ME. and many others. the point is. someone .. even I.. get upset.. just as im sure the devs do as well. .. but i do not agree. with anyone who says the info ISNT good.. i just wish they would continue the pace. as im sure many others feel the same ... :).. if uve been here more then 2 years. u wuld understand.


tg.

[Fedamin[SUN]]

started nice with the interview and screens (which looks like the same castle like on the vid, so just the horse is really new tho). rest equal shit. to be honest..i expected more regarding the inc clan beta but well, guess youve to just be glad to hear anything nowadays.

anyways, thanks, keep the updates coming and give us a goddamn good pvp game :)

[sm00th]

ok... i apologize for lashing out at you veterans of the DF messageboard... i would've been here a lot earlier waiting with you if I had known about it. I can understand waiting 2, 3, 4+ years for a game to come out can wear on you. Coming from a game like WoW, I'm just used to ppl bitching about everything. Just ready for a badass pvp mmo =)..... so sorry once again.

[AkielVonStrife]

No big deal, you gave me a reason to post. :)

Now I have to wait until we get another stupid interview that tells us something we already knew. See ya in a year.
