E3 2006/05/09: New Interview

[Pavlos]

Linky! (http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setview/features/loadFeature/629/gameID/4/page/1)

[QUOTE]Of course, with this freedom comes responsibility, killing members of your own race will have a huge impact on your character

[Surly]

BAM! Nice find on that one, sir. Moved to the news section.

[LanMandragon]

Theres seven new screenshots, plus a whole interview. Great read, and cannons , and pirates, and the worlds looking more devloped, the human cities look awesome, more cities, more everything.

IM STOKED

[Keldroth]

Just read it.

This game is going to be awesome!

[Sarmatian]

so you could line the wall up with 30 cannons and blast away the zergs :hmm:

[LanMandragon]

I cant wait to have my guild laying siege to another guild with our pirate ships. UH that will pwn.

[Hecubis]

I call dibs on the name Long Dong Silver, the terror of the seas... and wenches.

[Ko Sanel]

Awesome!

Check out the picture of the golems, ice giants, and mobs. This is now my new wallpaper :)

[losinglife]

man sweeter and sweeter everytime a news bit comes out

[Pavlos]

Can't wait to see it live!
Friendly fire is great :) You can now torch that dwarven ally of yours and say "Sorry, it was accidental friendly fire."

Also, the article says: "absence of height maps". I don't know what that tells you, but no height maps = full height-axis. They could make an island floating in mid-air above the ground, or a cave could be exactly below where you stand, making it possible to find a hole and just fall inside it.

[Dragon Skull]

[QUOTE] Of course, with this freedom comes responsibility, killing members of your own race will have a huge impact on your character

[Hecubis]

Excuse me, what?

That totally sucks! Why should my fisherman be evil if my warrior is the one doing the killing?! I dont like this one bit!

If you want fish, just fucking steal em.

[Metal Wolf]

I think the cross charicter penalty is a little hash on people who want to play as a good guy some times and a basterd others. It wont bother me much as I rarly play but one charicter, but it will suck to roll up a noob and have a huge neative alignment on him the moment he goes into the game. I could see two charicters in the same guild on an account sharing alignment but to unrelated charicters sharing alighment limits playstyles.

And whats with the cannons? Are we going to have Midevil Sieges instead of Darkage sieges now? or are cannons a coastle only thing? I'm gona miss my trebs.

I do like the architecture though.

[Metrobius]

If you want fish, just fucking steal em.

My new motto. Thank you Hecubis.

[Spawl]

and I figured the pictures is all we would get. Nice.

[Gowel]

Interesting screenshots, but I'm wondering if they're older shots? The article doesn't say. Wasn't there supposed to have been a complete graphics update before E3?

[Slak]

NIOCE!!!!!
...
...
...
anyone got a towel?

[Ultimo]

finally some text to go with the pictures, that was a long 2 hour wait haha. anywho, glad to see the game is getting to be a well polished machine

[Ko Sanel]

yeah,

I wonder how many times we will hear "I didn't mean to kill your best horse with my fireball," or "I promise I won't cut off your head again," or "I didn't set the ship on fire! The sail go in the way of my spell!"

[Pylor]

Nothing new about crafting, but it's nice to know that they are staying on course with the mentioned things.

[Malhavok]

The cannons have me wondering as well. I was anticipating it to be much more strictly along the lines of "no, no dwarves with guns"... Even the crudest early cannons were superior to trebuchets in everything except cost and mobility. I wonder how that will sway things during sieges.

[lordbelerial]

yah, only thing out of all that I didn't like was the aligment among all your characters...I want to be able to have my miner and fisher and such not be affected if I wanna be a dick once in a while

although this may discourage ganking a bit, just curb it a touch

[PKSinister]

Excuse me, what?

That totally sucks! Why should my fisherman be evil if my warrior is the one doing the killing?! I dont like this one bit!

Actually, when I read this bit I said to Lia, hey thats a clever idea, and thats exactly what it is. No more fueling your mindless noob murderer character using alts, if you want to play the evil noob killing bastard than you'd better make sure you can deal with the consequences.

No more jumping on your alt knowing that those same people you've been messing around are going to just sit their and let you farm freely, they can kill you without an alignment hit.

One way around this could be to get a second account, but thats not so bad, only the serious murderers may consider this option, not the wannabe greifers who just want some quick thrills.

I fully support this. Basically if you want to be a bad ass motherfucker, your gonna have to be a bad ass motherfucker ALL THE TIME.

[Darkmatter]

Good stuff, I wonder if E3 will bring us even more insight into the world of Df..

[The-Nit]

Having reputation affect all chars will also help give a better feel of "real life" law.
Being a murderer will have consequenses.
It will give a MUCH better roleplaying experience.

[Feoir]

Great Interview.
Looking forward to see it live.

[Mango]

Great thing (accountability), a good compromise in the SCS/MCS discussion.

[LionbI4]

Nice interview and screens.
Is it only me noticed small picture http://images.mmorpg.com/features/628/images/628_2_t.jpg and big picture
http://images.mmorpg.com/features/628/images/628_2.jpg are different ? Thumbnail comes from different screenshot. Where can I see large screen of thumbnailed picture?

[doma]

Nice screens :)

[Sarusan]

Looks nice, but still waiting to see some more action and other races with race ships etc.

[Omnax]

First of all I would like to see that video.

"Preview based on an interview and video by Michael Hampden"

And second of all, I really hoped that we will see some graphics update. No new info at all.

[HoE-Wedlock]

I would like to see that video too ~~
same about graphics update ;/
Dissapointed a lil bit.

ps can't wait till the game comes out, nothing to play at all

[Gunther TheBlack]

Very nice.

ALtho i ain't a big fan of the accountability thing ;)
But i guess it will seperate the men from the boys.


I am still gonna try and be an evil dwarf tho. So if you guys wanna see the one and only evil dwarf, you better come and play on the european server :cool:

[Zekarde]

Awesome, thanks.

I can feel my urge to draw blood rising.. this game is going to make everything I've played beforehand look like barbie online.

[Darkmatter]

I'd rather ships stick with balistae/trebuchet/catapult variants mounted on them like the romans had, instead of cannons!! (same goes for stationary defenses)

[Quantrell]

Personally I think having the alignment hit all characters is a step in the right direction. I have said for awhile that we will never be able to have true player justice until the evil PKer can no longer switch to his goody goody crafter alt to hide from the mob. I wasn't quite expecting to see it in DFO though.

It does hamper player style a bit I will admit, it will force you to be evil or good, or somewhere inbetween maybe. But as Gunther put it, "it will seperate the men from the boys."

[Phooey]

Gotta love waking up to a new interview! :D

[Lukeh]

The accountable things are very good imo. Decent screenshots too.

[brutalbengt]

Give me that CD infront of them :ninja:
http://images.mmorpg.com/features/629/images/629_5.jpg

[Sack]

Excuse me, what?

That totally sucks! Why should my fisherman be evil if my warrior is the one doing the killing?! I dont like this one bit!


I like this idea... holds the player accountable. No more hiding behind alts. Im assuming that your chars on a different server would be fine... so make your candy canes elsewhere.

[lordbelerial]

Give me that CD infront of them :ninja:
http://images.mmorpg.com/features/629/images/629_5.jpg

yeah, I KNOW, that's exactly what I was thinking too, hahaha

[|Avalanche]

What a perfect day! New screens and a interview. The sun is shining, it is 20degreeds celius and it is spring!

[Fylraen]

Of course, everyone gets hyped, but the interview says nothing new about the game. Just a few updates on things we already knew.

Things to note: Cannons. Now it takes 4-5 noobs to kill a vet instead of 3 noobs, which is bad. Somebody is paying to make Aventurine t-shirts. Alignment goes across characters. Need teamwork for boats.

Screenshots look nice.

[Darkmatter]

Will walls and structures have hp and just vanish when its depleted, or do you think we'll see parts of these structures blown to pieces until it doesn't serve any purpose? I'm thinking about what will happen to an archer in a tower, if the tower gets struck by a few cannons.

Cannons effectivity vs troops is an interesting discussion versus their anti-vehicle(siege weaponry,ships) capabilities.

[Spikey]

Yayayayayayayayay.

[SuperVlieg]

Give me that CD infront of them :ninja:
http://images.mmorpg.com/features/629/images/629_5.jpg

hahahah!

Now i see what you talking about!
damn me want :D

[Osirus]

Excuse me, what?

That totally sucks! Why should my fisherman be evil if my warrior is the one doing the killing?! I dont like this one bit!

reap what you sow?

great article ... always good to see updates.

[Galdred]

Argh, I would have preferred a cannonless world too :/
Medieval artillery is so funnier IMO
I find the pictures cool(except for the cannons, I expected ballistae and mangonnels), but I guess many will disagree about that.

Many will probably disagree, but I agree with you.

[Horseman]

Even the guys at mmorpg can't spell Aventurine. Looks awesome. Hoping we will hear more during E3.

[Fikk]

Stealing tuna is my specialty.

[Yuengling.OoB]

Alignment across the account = hrm
Cannons = meh

Cannons seem silly, but only time will tell if their crazy over powered...

[Natsuo]

Looks good. Woke up this morning, and had a link to it from MMORPG in my email. Nice to wake up to. I have to say I support the idea of alignment effecting all of your characters. Can't have those wanker griefers running around then just hopping on another character when things get too tough for them.

I thought the screen shots looked great, give or take the one of the armored guy, he was looking a bit pixelated. Swamp screenshot was pretty phat though.

[the Akorn]

must say I'm disapointed in them adding cannons. Gunpowder always seem to ruin good games. But as long as they stay away from adding guns, grenades etc I'm okay with it, as I trust Cannons will be mostly reserved for sieges/ship-to-ship.

[Champion_Mark]

I just wish they had a booth at H3 or E3 or whatever its called. I don't live that Far from L.A. Would of been a nice vacation... Couple hours, and "would" of been camping in front of there booth.

P.S.
Don't forget the smores...

I thought the screen shots was pretty pimp, except the armored dude. He looked like he was knocked in the head a few times with a hammer/mallet.

[Surly]

But as long as they stay away from adding guns, grenades etc I'm okay with it, as I trust Cannons will be mostly reserved for sieges/ship-to-ship.Yeah, but trebuchets on boats would be rather idiotic. I'm pretty happy with cannons for siegecraft and ships.

Hope we can put dwarf-a-pults on ships though ;) Hell, I hope we have dwarf-a-pults to begin with.

[huapua]

wtf, ive been board whorring for 2 days straight cause i felt an update and as soon as i go to bed ya'll post this? Bah!

[Taneos]

The news that Alignment affects ALL chars on the Account (I believe per server), is the best news in really long time.
Accountability creates way better playing experience.

Kill whoever you want, whenever you want, but face the consequences. At least once again a game where not every idiot makes a pk, logs in for 5 mins to gank noobs and then logs back on his gay Paladin.

[tornadoclaw]

Good news about the alignment, doesnt change the fact that im gonna kill pretty much everyone onsight. The people who hide behind there alts aint real griefers/gankers.:ninja:

[MrFun]

Give me that CD infront of them :ninja:
http://images.mmorpg.com/features/629/images/629_5.jpg

Yeah, but a printed CD like that...means there was some sort of production run for it. It didn't look like one of them crappy sticker home made CDs that grandma sends you with pictures of her ulcers...

[Consume]

was so excited to see this. when i read it was awsome.

IM SO FUCKIN PUMPED

[Maglubiyet]

If anyone gets G4 watch it tonight there doing live coverage on E3, im gonna try to see any of the devs walking around... lol

BTW GREAT info, cant wait for this game to come out.

[paade]

Quote:
Of course, with this freedom comes responsibility, killing members of your own race will have a huge impact on your character’s alignment. Soon enough he’ll be known to all as evil, and will be unable to trade in most cities, and may even be attacked on-sight by town guards. This alignment also extends to all characters on your account, so players will have to be accountable for their actions, regardless of which character they are currently playing. You had better watch where you aim that fireball too, because Darkfall doesn’t feature any form of friendly-fire protection.


All this tells me is that they prefer people having only one character/server, which is a good thing imo. Multiple toons in same server is for homos anyways.

[LeprechaunTFK]

If you want fish just fucking steal em! -Hecubus

You spelled his name wrong in your sig


Oh and great stuff, love the alignment stuff

[Sabrok]

I am going go go against a great deal of people here and agree with few that the alignment system sounds like a refreshing change to me.

[Shei]

I personally think it's a great idea with that alignment hit.
If you worry about your crafter or whatnot - buy a second account.

If you enjoy griefing and rpk then don't hide behind a second char.
Can't hide much longer behind pixels :p

This read was also quite entertaining, from the blog of the mmorpg.com guy who made the interview:

[QUOTE]What do they feed people in Greece? I am 6

[Baelfire]

Wonder if you started a character, and then was a very bad person, raping the world for what its worth... then create a new character if that still transfers the evil status to the new character...

[Maglubiyet]

Give me that CD infront of them :ninja:
http://images.mmorpg.com/features/629/images/629_5.jpg

I agree!

[Celerity]

Yeah, but a printed CD like that...means there was some sort of production run for it. It didn't look like one of them crappy sticker home made CDs that grandma sends you with pictures of her ulcers...

You can get printable cds and print directly on them with a $90 inkjet printer these days. I have one, and when done right it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing. (the paper envelope is kinda suspect, too.)

In fact, if you look close you'll see the background of the disc is white, just like on a printable disc or label.

[Ravaan]

about time ... but not much new info.

[[uBp]Paranoia]

I think I need to go change my pants now...

[Falokis]

[Crovax]

Cool they covered the sea life aspect of Dark Fall which i'm sure got all you pirates drooling, but of course this also means that the next interview will probably cover another aspect like archery or crafting

[Inquisitor Drex]

wow great cannons and such plus great interview in general.

[Marcus]

AWESOME!!!! And to think i doubted the DF staff for a second

[Gambe]

looking forward for an e3 demo video :)

[Slinkinator]

I fully support this. Basically if you want to be a bad ass motherfucker, your gonna have to be a bad ass motherfucker ALL THE TIME.



JUST LIKE SHAFT DAMMIT!!!!!!


he one bad ass mutha--- SHUT JO MOUTH------- hey im talking bout shaft here----- WE CAN DIG IT!!!!

sorry bout that btw THE OLD SHAFT PWNS THIS NEW CRAPPY ONE!!!!!


and this thingy PWNS!!!!!

[Scripture]

We'll, news of any kind is good news when it comes to this game.

However, I am concerned with two things from this news.

1) If you have a evil character, and then create a new character, following the logic of the devs, the new character would then be considered evil as well. However, newbie starting spots were said to of been heavily guarded by npcs, so does that mean as soon as a "evil" person makes a new character, they essentially get insta killed?

2) In shadowbane, there was always a problem with one spy in your guild being the result of a guild's downfall (whether it was opening doors, attacking others in guild or attacking guards). Will the whole "accountability" thing take those situations into consideration as well? (I don't want 1 spy in my guild that can essentially destroy my town, or be a huge factor in getting my town destroyed.) The only thing I can think of would be to have every character of yours to be added to the guild. Or have guards attack people that do harm to other guildmates, or structures/other guards.

Other then that, great read!! I admit, trebs would of looked kinda goofy on ships. This has really gotten me thinking of all the different type of defences a city can/will have (like cannons being a good defense against infantry, or just archers as main defense). Anywho, I look forward to more information and hopefully a close beta!!

Being a spy should be a legit part of the game. In an open game you can do anything... If 1 spy can take down your city, all the more power to him.
You just need to do the appropriate leg work of recruiting reliable people

[Porthios]

Well, I'd have to say that I'm very impressed and very pleased with their progress. And it takes quite a bit to impress me. Good job AV/RW.

[Coal_Oblivion]

That's more like it!

[Joiry]

Cannons or catapults, either is fine with me. Does anyone doubt however they look like they'll have the same stats?

Speaking of looks, those cannon mounting look both silly and impractical.

[illicit]

I just wet my pants, that looks sweet. Can't wait to get into it.

[Gotrex]

Excellent

Glad to hear about the reputation thing as usualy it is so easy to get around acountability with alts. I know it will still be posible to go around it with a second acount but its still a good step.

As for the cannons i like them, naval combat wouldnt be as good without being able to broardside another ship with a nice row of cannons.

[Unknewn]

Cannons, ships, siege on water, siege on water and ground, more then one character per server and more... :)

[Mhorham]

The scale of the ripples in the water is BANG ON! Nice work there :D

Everything looks crisp and its amazing to see a lot of the fine detail in armor and things like the side of the cannons.

One thing I did notice I thought was a bit odd. Plants (exp grass and flowers) grow straight up even if they are growing on a slope. Its one of those things a lot of people wont be able to put their finger on right away, but it will make them feel uneasy.

[Satan]

as part of a pirate griefing guild in WoW, i approve this interview

[Sabrok]

as part of a pirate griefing guild in WoW, i approve this interview

what the hell, even satan is stalking darkfall now... We can't fail.

[Atoria]

What if that ship burns our city while we are offline ? ?
Placing the city away from sea might be nice choice hihi

[Slinkinator]

What if that ship burns our city while we are offline ? ?
Placing the city away from sea might be nice choice hihi

but then you have less trade, it's harder to establish that city, and any others.


you cant carry a mine on your back in DF.


you need a ship or wagons to move enough stone to make a house, let alone a city, far away from a mine.

and ships are faster

and if you want to carry some treasure on them to help jumpstart your city then i really hope it doesn't get "LOST" at sea.

[AkielVonStrife]

I would like lasers on my ship because realism would be no fun.

[AkielVonStrife]

Excuse me, what?

That totally sucks! Why should my fisherman be evil if my warrior is the one doing the killing?! I dont like this one bit!

Die Shadowbane.

[Nick Danger]

...with this freedom comes responsibility...We sure don't see this basic truth stated very often. Usually it's the griefer/kid types demanding freedom while doing all they can to avoid accepting responsibility.

This alignment also extends to all characters on your account

Excellent!

Alignment applying to all chars on that account separates the men from the wannabes. I hope they stick to their guns on this, because this is the type of game that's worth playing.

I recall the devs saying there would be an evil town or even evil towns so that evil people who didnt have a house/guild would still have somewhere to start, i guess if you start a noob evil character, you'll be starting in an evil town.

[Spawl]

I have a problem with the title of this thread. It is dated 5/9, but the interview was actually conducted and posted on 5/8.

[GandalfPl]

I like cannons! Ships must have cannons, I'm glad they didn't go with lame catapults. And ships look awesome on screenshots, just incredible.

[Afgar]

I don't get why some of the models look so awesome, yet in game look so crappy.

Oh by the way guys,

Darkfall is going to have naval combat! AWESOME!

[Darkmatter]

If someone has naval supremacy, its going to be quite hard to take them out. Cities or guilds with huge fleets can sweep the shores of settlements across continents, and prove a valuable asset through siege bombardment - where as buildings belonging to a clanstone will have the protection, the troops on the walls and so forth will not.

[Mango]

Very nice.

ALtho i ain't a big fan of the accountability thing ;)
But i guess it will seperate the men from the boys.



DOH Gunther, can

[Exodeus]

I do wonder why the renderings/ the artist works looks so much better then the actuall stuff in game...

[Rane]

Hmm somehow I can't view the interview on my computer but I looked it up on another and are those gray buildings on one of the screenshots Alfar houses!? I pray to all kinds of gods that they are because they look AWESOME!

[Nalira]

only thing i have now learned after reading this article, is the fact that all characters share the same alignment within an account... the rest i already knew unfortunately.

however, it is nice to know that all characters will share alignment because now if you wanna be a dick, ur gonna be stuck being a dick... i know im gonna be a dick.

[jokurt]

Something is up at df.warcry

We had an amazing interview with SO much more information! We'll get it up as soon as possible - stay tuned!

[Ragnar]

No one seems to see the aspect of racial wars. If i wanna kill a miner or sth like that i go to a enemy Race mine and bash the hell out of them. This way i might even get rewarded (alignment, honor, what ever) because its the enemy race.
Why should i bother pking my own race?

Beeing "red" in my Lands and beeing in a foreign land shouldn't be too different, everyone's gonna try to kill you.

I see the problem beeing a craftsman with a profession out of town. A raiding enemy will kill you in matter of seconds without any penalty.
And please dont tell me that the community will handle this. I wouldn't guard a Mine for 3 hours because there could be enemys comming and kill my races miners, i'd rather go to a well known pvp spot where action is guaranteed.

[Zerikin Loukbel]

Nice, no hiding with mules if your a evil PK. Avast! thar be a target off the port bow sea battles look like they will rock, cities on the coast ftw?

They better hurry up :D

[Derosian]

Woot, for new interview with more information. And here I was worried that Darkfall wouldn't get as much publicity in E3 as I thought they needed. =]

Yay!!! Ah, but the shared alignment thing could be advantages. I could have two characters one very good, and one very bad. And they would come out to be neutral eh?

[Minx]

Good deal, thanks for the heads-up!

[CaptainObvious]

Nice update. I really enjoyed the 'construction' detail in the city/tree fort shots.

[Virtra]

Wow... nice update. Its great to come back from vacation to see this. To those that say there isn't any new info here, well, you're dead wrong.

1) Cannons are in!!! (Yarrr, no farrie trebs on dis scurvy dog's deck)

2) Alignment effects all your characters on the same server. (good shit, IMHO. No more pansy PKs logging onto their alts to hide like the 14-year-old bitches they are. If you wanna be an RPK then you're goign to have to learn how to take a smack down now and again.)

3) Weather forcasting. (Very nice touch. Its been speculated about on the boards a whole lot, but no "official" mention has ever been made to my knowledge.)

4) Large ships will require more than one person to run properly/well. (THANK FUCKING GOD!!! Before this all we'd heard was that it wasn't "fun" to make sailing require multiple people, which I can understand, but I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about it. However, this is really great news. Now if we can just learn about ship binding... )

Dis be good news fer da crew, an' bad news fer all yous lubbers tinkin' dat you've gotta chance 'n hell against da Shipwrecked Pirates! :sly:

[Viluin]

I'm refreshing the Warcry page every 10 seconds now :sly:

[Obee]

All of this sounds awesome. Finally another game I can wait for. :)

[Syloc]

They need a stress test to find out if it's worth it :P

[Khantrah]

Ahh, so this is why I hang out on these forums. I almost forgot, for a second there.

The prospect of naval battles as represented in the screenshots is so damn exciting. Screw Pirates of the Burning Sea and their watered down instanced crap -- looks like Darkfall will be delivering the sea-faring delights I have been thirsting for.

Graphic detail and quality -- unsurprisingly at this point -- are not particularly noteworthy. The attention to detail, however, and graphical styling are compelling. Especially in that human city. That was a scene straight out of a fairy tale.

Very nice little scrap for the starving, thanks guys.

[Brannoc]

I would like to clear up that the following quote is a mistake:

This alignment also extends to all characters on your account

This is a misquote. One character's alignment will not affect another character's on the same account.
