[Asmodeus]

Wewt thnx Brannoc.

One thing though, the new screen shot of the dragon thing, its named a Chimera... Its a three headed dragon, AKA a Hydra, a Chimera is like lion/goat/serpant variety.

[Spawl]

Thanks for the link!

[dudeness]

Awesome, thanks a ton dude.

[LanMandragon]

Thanks Brannoc. This is looking real good.

[Inquisitor Drex]

WoW thanks

[MorkDaOrc]

First of all, if you want to build a ship that is bigger than 17 jumbo jets, you can. There is no pre-set size limit on naval vessels. Basically, like everything else in this game, if you have the resources and the skill, you can produce whatever you want. On top of that, just like in the real world, if you can pack 8000 players onto one tiny ship without it sinking, then so be it. There are no slots or other pre-determined limits on the amount of characters you can pile on to vessels. One of the examples they gave me was if a player wanted to surprise an enemy base, they could sail their ship in with only a few players on the deck. Once the ship got close enough for players to swim ashore without getting killed, the captain of the vessel could literally open their holds to release a tidal wave of men.

HAWT.

"For example, take point A and point B. Point A is located west of point B. The wind is blowing east from point A to point B. If it is raining at point A, eventually, because of the wind, the rain will reach point B. Not weather in the Darkfall universe happens randomly. If you are planning a night time raid on your enemy, you may want to wait until a night that has a full moon scheduled with clear skies so you can see, or you may want to wait for a night with no moon and rain so you can sneak up on your enemy easily."

hotter, way hotter.

[Solrac]

Nice thanks Brannoc =P

[Shadowoak]

Nice. Though, I really think that Tasos and the rest should always point that the company's name is Aventurine, as the mineral. I'm tired of reading of this Adventurine.

Edit: oops, seems like its a typo, in 3rd page they spell it right. (Except if thats the real typo).

[huapua]

Holy hell, so many interviews/updates... They shouldnt release so many... they should spread it out over time instead so people stop complaining about inactivity... RoFLMAYO

[kehmesis]

Thanks.

I like the no limit on ship size. I wonder if it'll be the same with structures. It's lego style, afterall, so it would be possible.

[Dozier]

Where's godzilla when you need him?

[kabe]

very interesting. Whats with the recent sell off? Time to buy!

[Gatts]

Thank you for the link.

[Afgar]

For the link, I thank you.

[Evre]

Nice, thanks for the link. Wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

[Paco69]

Link.....reading now:D

[Bones]

Thanks Brannoc.
Hrmmm anyone wanna reconstruct noahs ark???? no limit on ship size rofl, lets all build supertankers when this thing goes live.

[Slinkinator]

Holy hell, so many interviews/updates... They shouldnt release so many... they should spread it out over time instead so people stop complaining about inactivity... RoFLMAYO


stabs



and i'm taking the full metal alchemist view of the chimera, any organic living breathing construct made from more than one beast.

[Komako]

This thread is about my pants.

Or rather, my new pants.

[BLACKWATCH]

The Info on Ship building and massive holds for raiding, just light my fire..
With a crafters dream of making huge ships or small fast one, raiding just took on a whole new meaning..

Then there was the Mahirim with a sword, brought a tear to me eyes...

Its time to Fear a Pirate Clan of Mahirim. :)

[Maglubiyet]

This is awsome news, alittle more indepth then the past ones. Good to know weather wont be randomly generated that it actually moves around the world. And i hope the no limit on ship sizes just means, too big cant controll, and too big very very skillful crafter"s". Sounds awesome and cant wait.

[Yuengling.OoB]

chimera

Did anyone happen to see that discovery channel about them? freaky.

[Trazodone]

Did anyone happen to see that discovery channel about them? freaky.

no but i saw them live not to long ago. well, chimaira that is=P

now this was a good write up, way better then that ten ton hammer one. kudos

[SkullPizza]

Nice post. Thanks Brannoc

[nazual]

It's awesome to look at those old pictures and to see how much the game has evolved :)

[Moonstrucken]

Great stuff. Thanks for the link. I take it they are trying to hype the game for Beta!! Let's hope. :ohno:

[Khael[SUN]]

Well written interview. Seems like you have impressed those guys =)

[Metal Wolf]

I forsee some Aircraft carier sized ships roaming around in the mists of the sea; its gona be a bumer to run into a whole guild on their baseship. And isn't that criter from a Godzilla movie? Sweet!

Edit: and I think thats an old shot of the Mahirim.

[paade]

First of all, if you want to build a ship that is bigger than 17 jumbo jets, you can. There is no pre-set size limit on naval vessels.

i can see it now, my own floating island. Paadeland:eek:

[Vanir]

It was a good read, made me want to join this community :).

[Slyder]

Good stuff, cant wait for the beta!

[AkielVonStrife]

Won't someone please think of the caravns?!

Am I the only person in the world that wants to hear about the economy?

[Spades911]

Where is this "new darkfall video update" they speak of.. do they mean the one like 3-4 months ago?

[AkielVonStrife]

It took me 100 years to find it too.

I'll be the second guy. I care more about economy than combat.

[khieron]

nice news. wish we could get some footage of the battle he was talking about.

[Virtra]

[QUOTE]Darkfall will also have something that is not found in current MMORPG games

[Nehemia]

Kewl, thanks!

:D

[Atnas]

How unexpected! Nice to see a new interview.

MMOReport > Warcry so far.

[Hecubis]

So is there anyone at all who isn't planning on taking to the high seas ASAP?

...

I know I am.

[G.Struepp]

so you can build a ship long enough to connect 2 islands? :D

[Darkmatter]

I think about them too. Ships can not travel anywhere on land so hopefully there'll be a niche for the caravans there. By the looks of things, there'll be plenty of ship owners, and plenty of pirates in this game.

[doma]

Nice! Love the Screens

[Platon2x]

Good read and the graphics are awesome. Im kinda concerned why the Chimera aint in the game yet... I would be alot more optimistic if it was an ingame screen. However I have no idea how long implenting races and creatures take.

[KarateK|d]

Love the reasent influx of info we've gotten!
Wish they held E3 more often ^^

On a sidenote, it seams the devs have put alot of importance on boats and naval combat. It will be interesting to see how the map will look :)

[Shaar]

Great stuff. Each new interview make me more impatient...

[Mug]

New info is always welcome :)

[Mhorham]

I am happy to see the pr machine gearing up. But I really got to say that that article sucked. And why are they using last years Screen shots?

It did not do the game justice.

[|Avalanche]

Great stuff! Told ya that we where going to get more info this week ;P

[Finrod]

Ooh imagine holding the whole servers population on one boat...

[Exodeus]

yawn... more stuff on how great the game looks... nothing new...

[[DJ]Hugo]

When ever I take a day off from checking the forum at all, this happens.

Awesome to get some new news, it's a crumb, but crumbs good!

[Spikey]

Nice interview, like the no limit on ship size.

[Sack]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Baren]

Goodness. This game sounds like it has everything you could possibly want. I can't wait, its about time we have a generation of level headed developers :cool:

[Osirus]

decent read, thanks.

[Sarmatian]

Darkfall will be a GREAT game. I just wish I could be able to play it when it comes out :(

Damn real life.

[Lorphos]

This game looks hotter with every interview. I just hope it will be released.

[Komako]

I'm going to point out why a ship will never get that big:

1. Always a probility of the ship being destroyed.

2. Requires a HUGE amount of resources. How can a pirate clan build a large ship, when they have no timber?

3. I can't imagine a ship that size will be as fast as a smaller vessal, if physics apply.

You are correct, but it isn't so much about actually building that collosal ship. Its all about knowing you could if you really wanted.
Its about being able to chose!

And seen the fact it appears this way in all aspects of the game, I'm sure DF will be a hit!

[NewRage]

Makes me wonder, can you decommision boats you have to get the base resources out of them? Then if you see a boat you don't like, there is an incentive to capture it instead of just blowing the shit outta it, plus gives those pirate clans a way to get resources...

[nastilon]

No limit on people on a boat seems great, they can pack themselves on there and maybe some mage can nuke them all with an AoE and take them out. Muwhahah

/edit: I just had an orgasm reading this article
