Miss that from the time when you switched to aion?


I like this, but it would be nicer with a small "Currently working on:" sign on the forums for those who don't twit.

[Narcowski]

Pretty awesome to see this implemented. Here's to hoping it stays updated too ;)

[alfar1]

"Working on the trade route logic, one of Darkfall's 'Conquer the Seas' new expansion features."

This sounds bad. At least a month till expansion? And then who'd roll out an expansion right before NY? Let's say mid-January?

[Askeladden]

Henning Ludvigsen is one of the followers there.
He could share this interesting information the 2. november;

"Getting owned by goblins in darkfall. Need to play our game more I guess, haha"

[Fugean]

Wheres the tweet where you give us an ETA on expansion?

[Tengil]

This is a great way to show the community some love. People have to realise that the expansion is delayed. And live with that.

See it as a christmas present.

The delay till including these week is covered through official announcement, impatience grows tho with every new day passes without an exact ETA.

[MortalZero]

the twitter sounds "better" now

"Just entered final testing: Player movement extension - Double-tap"

Maybe this is the way to say that we won't see the expansion this month :bang:

Don´t expect the expansion until beginning or mid December.

[Dririan Korr]

Huh? An exact estimated time of arrival?

On the flipside, three months ago you guys were crying for more transparency and info from the devs. Then we get spotlight, now you bitch because its not what you think is important.

I'm pretty goddamn happy with anything the devs could do. They could go take another vacation and I'd still be happy.

[Lexxer]

After reading those I fear we arent even close to a expansion release?

honestly i am surprised AV wouldn't even have the decency to tell the community that the 'expansion' has been delayed... they just sort of let the 'middle of november' pass by... its bad business practice... keep crying wolf AV and soon people will loose faith and thus you will loose subscriptions.

if you dont have an ETA don't preach falsehoods to the community, simply don't announce an ETA... first you announced october... then the middle of november...

how about this? once you know for certain when your teams will be done with the necessary work for the 'expansion' give us an ETA of about 2-3 weeks after that date... so that if something comes up an you need some extra time the community is not dissapointed and if by some miracle you actually make your own deadline, the community would be pleasantly surprised at an expansion being released "ahead of schedual"

this might have been a good idea no?

i can say with certanty i wont be qq'ing about patch notes... im just happy an eta was given

[Tiak]

I'm not a huge fan of twitter normally, but this account has given us more information than spotlights have in the last week so far, so I for one welcome our new tweeting overlords.

[Azdul]

so we have to deduce from ur tweets that the expansion is way off schedual...shame on u..

sometimes i think u gives have no shame at all..

They can tell you exactly what they expect - "expected date of arrival", and what they are doing at the moment - and that's all.

Usually "ETA" is "earliest possible date" or "impossibly optimistic release date".

When you compare AV to other MMO developers - they no longer seem so bad ...

[Lumanil]

Wheres the tweet where you give us an ETA on expansion?

Its not in the tweet, it's in the NEWS-section.

Now, all you need is an official FB-group, and will look like this whole deal is professional.

Never used Twitter... I'm still a bit.... iffy on what Twitter is, except a way for people to share every boring detail of what they're doing every hour of the day, though in this case might actually be useful.

Still I'm very excited to see all the news, especially the ETA for the Expansion, can't wait! I was afraid I'd die of old age before I saw it.

There is always the RSS feed if you don't want to make an account.

Then he wouldn't really be working on the logic, would he? Routes != pre-set path, routes = potential paths.

FB is good for staying in touch with family/friends. Twitter is good for getting gory details about little minute micro-news updates from companies/organizations/etc in which you're interested.

[coder1024]

no, I read the comment as, "working on the 'trade route' logic". Meaning logic for the trade route feature. That could very well be a fixed route and the logic has to do with how those fixed routes are setup properly so they're not going through trees or something :)

Maybe they're like trolleys that endlessly shuttle goods back and forth.

[Bored]

Meh, sounded to me like pathing.

Anyone else mention that MO has had twitter going for months?

Another ETA? Dude, did they pay you to kiss their ass or are you naturally bent over? This expansion should went up in October, it will be up supposedely in late November and they have only released some vagous information about a vagous mage-killer specialization. Oh yes, and the slot machine thing.

[Rekshop]

Some people are never satisfied. We asked them for more info and they answered with Spotlight and now Twitter.

One thing many people don't realize is that programming never has a definitive timeline where you can say "this functionality will take X amount of hours/days to complete". So if they blow the ETA at least we know what they are working on and what has/has not been completed or tested.

This is so much better than in the past where we would get almost no information until the day they actually patched. I'm liking the increased communication and Twitter is exactly what we needed. Now one of the dev's can hop on Twitter and write down a couple lines to keep us informed on the smaller details and progress increments. Good work AV.

I read them all of course. My point is still valid : the patch should went up in October and we still have NOT patch notes. We still don't know how mage killer will work, how Global Cooldown on spell will be applied (and if it will be applied on Whirlwinds also), how the damage resistances on heavier armor will be modified etcetera. I don't give a damn about slot machines or monster AI if they will not fix serious game-breaking problems first.

That's a different point from them not having released any information apart from mage killer and slot machines though. Keep your posts to the point and the discussion going, don't stick on the same points over and over. It doesn't lead anywhere.

You don't release patch notes before you release a patch. Why? Because you'd screw the economy and game-play over by doing so.

You do realize that when you test things they don't automatically fix themselves. You do realize that programmers are constantly optimizing previous code while developing things, you do realize that testing brings about tweaks. Working on something does not mean it hasn't been or isn't being tested. Games are constantly being tweaked, and improved, and modified during development.

Of course I didn't ask for the exact patch notes, but they should at least give us same way deeper info's about the things that I mentioned. For example, we still don't know for sure if Mage Killer will be a general buff or a skill like Whirlwind. I can't believe they haven't figured out things like this yet.

Magekiller is a specialization (see prestige class), as in it's a permanent state.

Darkfall's Quest journal completely re-vamped in upcoming "Conquer the Seas" Expansion, to enhance the role-playing aspect of the game.

I hope that re-vamped also means that it will no longer be browser based.
I wonder how it will enhance the role-playing though.

We're not 100% sure about that.

[JCatano]

We're not 100% sure about that.

"Specialization options are already in the game, and many more are on their way. He offered three quick examples from October’s upcoming free expansion:

An option called Jumpshot allows you to jump and fire a bow at a 10 percent penalty on max mana. Aquatic Shot allows you to use a bow under water at a 5 percent penalty on max mana. Finally Mage-Killer will give you bonus damage against users wielding a staff but completely blocks your ability to use elemental, arcane, and necromancy magic."

They are going to be like spell upgrades.

[Karac]

They are going to be like spell upgrades.
I read it and I read your reply in that other thread. But if they wouldn't clearly state that Mage Killer will be a specialization (and I wish it would), and how it is going to work (will you still be able to use buffs from elemental, arcane and necro schools? Things like that), it could really be anything.

It does clearly state that's it a specialization and that Mage Killer "completely" blocks elemental, arcane, and necromancy magic:

"This is a choice you make, you’re not forced to do this, and if you don’t like it you can reverse it easily and get something else that suits your play-style better. There are many high-end specialization options available and more will be added with every update."

thx for the twitter !!!

[Karac]

This, along with other changes, such as the mage killer shot, will help bring some much desired balance to the game.

They contraddicted themselves, or they used very bad wording. But this is not the only thing.
Which AoE spells will get a Global Cooldown?
Are going to be melee specialization? Magic specialization? Still no one news about this? Who cares about slot machines and sea towers, if they don't fix VITAL things like siege mechanics (yes, they said they will, but HOW?) and broken PvP mechanics (example : bugged hitboxes).

They tend to pick and choose what to tell you before hand to keep people updated to a point. The less they announce the less people will expect of the expansion and therefore the better it will seem. But the more they tell us about it the more people will look into it and keep subbing or re-sub. It's a balancing act to hype something properly. If they release too much info too soon people imaginations run wild with it and they expect too much as was the case with launch. They have said they are adding melee specializations, they've mentioned a new melee and archery skill that disables a persons block for some time, they've mentioned a lot of things they're changing.

It's also a matter of releasing info that will appeal to a large variety of people. Some people just want more content and so they want to give them some info too. So it's a multi-layered balancing act gving the correct amount of info and picking and choosing a variety of things to show off.

More updates: System architecture enhancements in place to support new features associated with Darkfall's upcoming 'Conquer the Seas' expansion

[MortalZero]

"system architecture enhancements" :eek:

[Drago Palmas]

Could you please release the exact day end of this week when you will release the expansion, I want to take some days off to plaaayy :)

[samureyed]

I cant believe darkfall got me to use twitter again...

[GRCPan]

Could you please release the exact day end of this week when you will release the expansion, I want to take some days off to plaaayy :)

Darkfall's new free expansion, "Conquer the Seas", is set to launch late next week. This is a tentative ETA, but even if we miss it, it will be a matter of just a few more days.

Basically you should expect it next week, not this week.

[Sinny]

this is what most developers say "It's out when it's out"

I wouldn't take a day off work when the patch isn't even out or predicted to be out. I'd expect it, as previously said, next week.

I agree with both of you, in my opinion end of this week will be Sunday, so the Monday of could be great..

[Caaahl]

Anyway. Many previous patches tought us:

Never play on patchday.

And for Darkfall:

Never play on patchday and the day after and the day after that day after. ;)

[JCatano]

They contraddicted themselves, or they used very bad wording. But this is not the only thing.
Which AoE spells will get a Global Cooldown?
Are going to be melee specialization? Magic specialization? Still no one news about this? Who cares about slot machines and sea towers, if they don't fix VITAL things like siege mechanics (yes, they said they will, but HOW?) and broken PvP mechanics (example : bugged hitboxes).

If you buy the Mage Killer option, I'm sure every arrow you land on someone using a staff is a "Mage Killer shot".

[Emolas]

I thought they taught us to play on patchday in order to sploit as much as possible before everything is fixed.

sooo, this is it? after 5 days u no longer post??
remembers me of certan spotlight part of the forum...started fine, now we are lucky if we get one every 3 days...
twitter started with 5 the first day, went down to 2 the following, then 1 and no none(week-ends not taken into account)..

[Caaahl]

The guys at AV should now be away just couple of days from finishing the expansion. So i guess they are kind of busy right now and have other priorities than twittering.

do it during lunch :@

no but in all truth, the dev themselves have never been much for updating us - a twitter wont change that, if the spotlight guys were doing it it might come to something, but with the Dev's doing it i forsee 1 post per milliena.

[Niburu]

nice they are testing...this means no Expansion this weekend :(

[oladarula]

you guys really complain about everything.

you know what happens to people who complain all the time?

...

nobody takes them serious anymore.

[empa]

they could get done today with testing... testing doesn't mean anything really

[Aerias]

That doesn't mean they've just started testing it, someone could just doing the last round of testing to make sure it works properly and could in fact be finished.

I love how everyone jumps to the worst case scenario

Hope for the best, prepare for the worse.

Interesting twitter update.

Bloodcraft and Shadecraft, eh?

[campino87]

sounds very interesting!

I was hoping we would get some updates on atleast a daily basis on their twitter channel of what they are doing... its been 3 days since they put anything there now...

oh yeah, forgot about that...
well anyways, I wish they would take this more seriously and post like they did at the start. Now they just update it when a new spotlight comes up it feels like.

[katahlyn]

oh yeah, forgot about that...
I hate you. :D

[raffraff]

New update!

The code backup server just fell off the back of a lorry half way to the new offices and the entire Darkfall source code is lost. The most up to date backup is on Zip disk from 2001, discovered in a previous employees grandmother's attic in Oslo.

In the UK the law requires that telephone lines be made out of moistened string. I blame Thatcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Group#Privatisation) for my ping.

They are moving their offices so that’s probably why we are not seeing any updates at the moment.

"Additional character idle animations added in Darkfall's upcoming "Conquer the Seas" expansion. 11 minutes ago from web"

Not sure what good this will do but cool i guess

[ISVRaDa]

Idle animations refer to animations within video games that occur when the player does not do any action (hence being idle) :)

Yeah i know. But i dont see the point really k it might be abit nice to see characters feel abit more alive.

[Jargo]

Yeah, all those tiny little improvements add up to improve the overall game experience.

[Caaahl]

idle animations:
neat little feature to improve the atmosphere imo. :)

[HoolCelt]

Not bad, now i think they have not alot for make and makes that style of implements.

Four different tombstone types implemented in Darkfall's "Conquer the Seas" Expansion

Four different tombstone types implemented in Darkfall's "Conquer the Seas" Expansion

Delicious fluff.

[SynCaine]

Four types huh?

One for a player, one for a mob, two for...?

It can't be one per race, since we have six. Maybe it's per mob type (easy, med, hard, player)?

Maybe it's reactive, so it goes loot+skin, loot only, skin only, no loot/skin?

Probably, but I like the idea of..:

Same Clan
Allied Clan
Neutral Clan
Warred Clan

[XAleX]

And what for no clan?

[Avan]

I am guessing it's tomb stones based on the amount of item wealth lootable. Although coloured tomb stones [just the writing] sound nice too.

[HoolCelt]

that is not posible cos all the people dont have the same neutrals same allieds etc

[Narcowski]

And what for no clan?

Same as neutral, since you're neither allied with nor enemies of the grave's owner.

[Narcowski]

that is not posible cos all the people dont have the same neutrals same allieds etc

Sure it is, rendering is done clientside. All it would take (from a programming perspective) is to pass a short bit of information indicating the clan of the deceased. The player's client could then decide exactly which grave to render.

[Caaahl]

that is not posible cos all the people dont have the same neutrals same allieds etc

:rolleyes:

It could display different tombs to each individual player (like the colored names right now)

[blob]

1 tombstone for human,dwarf,mirdian
1 tombstone for ork, mahrim
1 tombstone for alfar
1 tombstone for mobs
-------------------------------------------

[Giblar]

Based on mob/player sizes I guess, so new wildlife bunnies can have little cute stones.

[HoolCelt]

will be good to see the color if is enemy etc in the name of the grave

[Kogaratsu]

Shadecraft and Bloodcraft being only limited to Mana/HPs influence is a bit disappointing, I hope that they add other enchanting options with bonus/malus like dmg, resistances, cooldown, etc...

[thedrumchannell]

I wonder if the tombstones have anything to do with alignment? :idea:

[KCC989]

that is not posible cos all the people dont have the same neutrals same allieds etc


Its the same way that they do the different colored names for enemy/clan/alliance/race alliance

[jagor]

1 tombstone for human,dwarf,mirdian
1 tombstone for ork, mahrim
1 tombstone for alfar
1 tombstone for mobs
-------------------------------------------

lol this would be useless :)

maybe

1 for alliance
1 for clan
1 for everyone else
1 for NPC

or

1 for "NPC not looted and not skined"
1 for "NPC looted but not skined"
1 for "NPC skined but not looted"
1 for "Player"

or

somehting no one can immagine :)

[stony23]

tombstone that makes others flag when they loot

tombstone that makes you flag when u loot

free for all tombstone

player tombstones

[Stormtrooper]

Its the same way that they do the different colored names for enemy/clan/alliance/race alliance

Agree, we might go rogue/get alignment loss upon looting a 'blue' (player) gravestone. Blue, red, green and orange tombstones?
