[Deyth[Combine]]

A summary review. (http://www.the-combine.net/ArticleViewer.aspx?ArticleNo=322)

[Sabrok]

thanks.

[[DJ]Hugo]

Thanks, nice summary of all the new info.

[Atoria]

Better than Warcry interview hihi
Warcry guys just don't know to :search:

[dark-M]

very nice

[Deyth[Combine]]

Glad some found it useful. I think most know that Combine are fans of the guys behind Darkfall, hopefully we'll be fans of the game too.

[Sabrok]

well we found out how large the world is, about 12 hours to cross, that is pretty freakin huge:)

[Shadow Walker2020]

I have to say that I found the combine's review more informative and detalied than that of Warcry.

[LanMandragon]

great one. Thank you.

[Metal Wolf]

The mounts being stealable is good to know. But the best thing from this interview is that the bodies twitch as they die. That makes my day.:D

[Khael[SUN]]

Good article, thanks =)

[Celerity]

Yeah nice piece, ty

[Havoc208]

Woot, MASSIVE WORLD! 12 hours to cross.

Now it's actually like a journey and not a quick jog like in WoW.

[Fluffier]

Guild-controlled cities will be a huge part of the game. Guilds can only build cities in preset locations around the world (I was assured that there would be a large amount of possible locations, like on the sides of mountains or islands, etc.)

Island fortress, here i come.

[[DJ]Hugo]

Island fortress, here i come.

I'm gonna plant dynamite and rocket jump through your throne room window and steal your princess.

[Speaker]

Excellent, thanks.

[Havoc208]

Oh ya? Well I'm going to light a fireball under me then rip ass, I'll steal the princess out of your hands before you hit the ground.

[Fluffier]

Hugo']I'm gonna plant dynamite and rocket jump through your throne room window and steal your princess.

Dont take Hanz from me. :(

The idea of controlling a complete island just appeals to something evil in me. Seems easy to defend aswell.

All sounds good, if I fail on the Princess Mission. Expect a zerg of 50 Warships nuking your fortress with cannon fire.

If I can't get the princess, I'll rocket jump her to me :p

[Jangang]

Thanks for posting this. Some good info. :)

[Deyth[Combine]]

I haven't read any of the other interviews yet but fortunately it's not a competition. The more the merrier.

[Falokis]

"When a player dies the corpse remains on the ground, unconscious and twitching. You can either release, wait for a friendly to resurrect you, or your enemy can come and perform a finishing move that sends you back to your bind point." --- This is the best quote from the write up.

[Sirtalon]

Holy crap, I almost pissed myself when I imagined what would life as a pirate be like.

[Spawl]

Thanks for the link Deyth.

Some of the really good things I saw in this thread involved mounts. If left unattended, they can be stolen. If you kill an orc, you can ride the warpig. The one thing it didn't say that I will just assume is that, unlike WoW, you can't put the horse away in your pocket.

[Rhynn]

Deyth, can I have a trip to Greece please. Thanks!

[Nefastus]

Good information there Combined. Hopefully it's all true.

Thanks!

[Deyth[Combine]]

Deyth, can I have a trip to Greece please. Thanks!
I can't tell from your name if you're female. If yes, send nude pics and then I'll have to interview you in person before I take you as a mistress because that's the only way you're getting a free trip out of me.

Good information there Combined. Hopefully it's all true.

Thanks!
Heh, name's Deyth. Combine is the guild. Of course it's true.

[Rhynn]

Discriminatin' against Dwarves I tell ya. What's the world coming too...

[Sirtalon]

Who wants a smelly dwarf as a mistress?

[Brannoc]

Moved to news!

[boby]

12 hours ? where did he found that :/

Well I remember people talking about a world germany sized.. But 12h (even if its nice..) is more like a big town with suburb. This kind of info, where people compare to IRL aspects, always crappy..

[Rhynn]

12h to run across the main island? Or 12h with a mount? How about all the other islands? I could run across AC's world in an hour. SB's in a few. So, it's looking pretty big still, especially with all the subcontinents, not to mention all the damn open seas!!!

[Zerikin Loukbel]

Yeah that one was better than Warcry's :idea:

[APEist]

best overview yet, great job Deyth.

[Spades911]

we need a beta date! to kick off this badass interview extravaganza

[Osirus]

nice write up.

[Komako]

I found the climbing part to be the most interesting. What I find lacking is that the author forgot to mention if there is a climbing skill or not. Climbing is going to be important for characters that intend to 'roll' a range-based class.

Imagine trying to level your climbing skill and accidentally going afk while hanging on the rock....

EDIT: Climbing skill mentioned at http://www.warcry.com/scripts/columns/view_sectionalt.phtml?site=15&id=499&colid=9722

[r4nge]

I can't wait to quit my life and play DF full time!!!!!

[nazual]

Worth the read. All this new DF info is making me so excited :D

[Deyth[Combine]]

best overview yet, great job Deyth.
My guildmate Unknowing did that, not me. I'm sure there's stuff he forgot to mention. There's a thread for this article on our board, you can ask him there because he doesn't read this one.

[kehmesis]

Thanks.

[Shaar]

Great info in that one. Thanks!

[khieron]

one of the most descriptive articles yet id have to say.

[Niccoli]

Good to see another good review of Darkfall, thanks for the link! :D

Once again, wishing to see "Beta is starting" news. *sigh*

[G.Struepp]

thx for that review - most important point however was that there is still no alternativ pvp-mmo to DF on the Horizon. I really hope DF is going to be the DF i have built in my mind, and than Aventurine kicks SOE & Co finaly in their big lazy uncreative gamerhating butts.

[Ultimo]

another good review, all this new information has me pretttttyyy psyched

[Darkmatter]

This and the Warcry article makes for a nice batch of information. It sounds great. RTS building w. resources sounds like fun as well. I love RTS games. The weather map sounds innovative, other game devs will come to DF for inspiration. Now I'm just waiting for them to let individual players sign up for this killfest.

[Pavlos]

Great summary, thank you for posting this.

[Salazar[SG]]

Good summary

Hats off to you combine boys and gals

"Weather will play a part in this game as well. Rain and snow causes very low visibility. A weather map will be accessible in game showing weather patterns and their direction of movement. A guild can anticipate a rain storm and use it to ambush another guild. During good weather players can be seen from an extremely long distance. They can be seen as a small dot in the clipping range. "

Sounds haaawttt

[doma]

Nice summary of DF :) good read

[Darkmatter]

I posted the two new pieces of information on the Gamespot DF forum. I have to say, GS aren't the quickest to update their info. Someone should give them a nudge to add the newest stuff. Piggie screens etc.

[Trazodone]

.....anyone can get behind the ship and drive it away.

Hmmmm if ships stay docked, im so getting a group,sneaking in, and stealing them. mwahahaha

the life of a thief looks so awesome now. im raiding your stables now, too

[demonic]

If the game will be as good as the reviews make it seem we will all be in for a few years of great fun, entertainment and victim head and limbs collecting :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Rane]

Very nice Combine! Some new info that got me all tingly inside.

[Rhynn]

Hrm, I thought docked ships were completely safe. It's only if they're at sea unattended, or it's been taken over that someone can just sail away with it.

[Trazodone]

have to see, hopefully i'll find some way to steal the damn things.

[kiegh]

Rhynn's right. It's been previously stated that docked ships are protected. In what way, we don't know completely, but I'm leaning towards the thought that when docked, they're protected in the same way buildings are protected by clanstones.

[Luke]

I'm surprised noonw noticed the hint about hte seige system. Maybe I missed it, but the news that there will be no banes required, or anything of the sort is pretty big. Appearantly you can launch an assault on any building any time, making for some nice raids on specific builldings (docks, smiths, stables) in preparation for a bigger war. Spec ops anyone?

[Maedhros]

good stuff

[Ultimasage]

Very nice review most informative one ive read so far. Now to find something to do till beta.

I believe it's been previously that it will require a bane of sorts to go after the clan stone, however not all buildings (if a large amount of them) can be protected at all times. I think they described it as a lot of mini battles to decide the victor.

But fricking awesome review!!

[Sabnock]

Great write up indeed!

[Ghann]

i find the gaining of experiance through killing people the most exciting part. Nothing like everytime you get hit by a fireball it does less and less dmg over time.

[reteep]

Sounds great!
