Dunno if there's going to be an actual article to go with this, but in the meanwhile, enjoy the human getting omgwtfpwnt by a wolfie.

ok so first things first.
Theres no more autumn leaves on the trees!!!! Wonder if that is correct or if its different types of trees. That woudl be cool.
I am now definately more interested in how hiding in grass will work because you can see the render distance with the grass is maybe 200 yards.
The armor looks really realistic which I think is awesome.

Nice! But interesting pick of words.
Ouote:
Aventurine, a Greek-based company that absorbed the originator of the project, a Norwegian team called Razorwax, and has advanced it to the stage where it seems on track to "LAUNCH" later this year. Quote..
"Launch" as in Public Gold release? By passing a Public Beta?
Was there a limited invite beta going on all this time, and now there going to release the game its self? Hum... Be sweetness if there was... !o.O!
Wondering if that screen is the actual 3rd person view in combat, if so, thats
a perfect amout of sight.... Just the right vision field.
Lastly what can I say, "Mahirim, Feeling the Love", a Human snack right befor going in to the graveyard for some the real action.... :P

The texturing on the Mahirim and the shiny metal armor on the human both look spectacular. The graphics seem to be getting better and better.
Now they just need to work on increasing the view distance by about 25%, a more realistic sky, and a more realistic item fade.

I have a feeling that this is a clipping problem.
If you look closer at the pic, it looks like the sword is in the skin/flesh. And you kind of see the sword trying to pierce out through the other side. But that can be easly dismissed as shadows... thats probably what it is.

*wishes that aventurine would make these fights into videos instead of screenshots* Why? Because I'm not here for OMGWTFGRAPHICS. If I wanted that and only that, I'd wait til FFXII came out and play that. I want action, and screenshots just barely show any of that no matter how good they are.
Not too bad an update however. /pray for an article.

You can't see the sword inside the skin. Take a closer look, it's just the light/shadows on his body... unless the sword's width just magically decreases by half when entering the body.

Yay, for more screen shots, and I believe that the game will start being played when they are nearing completion. I also believe they will be near completion when we start seeing more diverse screen shots... Thus... We still got some time to wait, go get yourself a girlfriend to suck you while you play or something!

Nice shots. Looks to me the graphics are coming along nicely. I thought the sword was actually sticking in him too at first glance, until I realized theres was just no way :P. After taking a second look, I realize its just a shadow effect playing with our eyes >.<
And yea, that human is getting rolled. But no surpise ;)

More impressive visuals. Draw distance looks reasonable still as well,as does the blood.
But this should have been a video. :D

']These screens were photoshoped :ninja: Agreed :P Anyways, the skin on the wolfie looks realy nice and the armor of the human. Though the litle feather on the helmet looks kinda of absurd!
TreyDingo2020
09-20-2006, 10:22 PM
sure wish this was a video. But it looks great anyway. I still dream that that is in fact the sword under the flesh, and also i dont think it has been mentioned the sweet lion etched into the humans armor along with the design on the sword which both look awesome.
I wonder what a mahrim would look like beat up. too bad ill never get to see it cause mahirim will always kick ass.
wish the blood could look a little better after it has so nicely settled. And also is it just me or do the humans look like they have leprocy when they are injured. But those are my only complaints. Awesome update.

I'm simply hoping that what they said about not divulging any information is true, and that in actuality they have videos, and a whole ton of other working systems, that will be released when the time is right. I always come to this page waiting to see a beta announcement, along with a huge compilation of completed content.
One of these days... one of these days...

Skies they look very strange in # 1 and # 2, I swear it almost looks like water droplets on glass. But gorgeous sky and mist in #3, what changed?
Might be the damage effects, aka splatter, but it's not very visible in #4 where the damage appears to be worse. And why would personal damage cause your vision to be affected in TPV - when you can see the blood on your toon?
But there's a lot to like in the way the limbs flex, the stances, and all the rest.

And the Leaves have changed showing seasonal changes at that... :P

It looks pretty good actually. Nice screens. Wish there was some kind of content though. Oh well. They really need to fix the blood though. Don't make it strips of blood. Make is splatters. As if the blood was coming from under the armor, and spilled out.

As I recall from the video a while back (I believe it was about mounted combat, but I'm not sure) whenever your character took damage from something, you got a quick red splatter effect around the edges of your screen. I'm guessing that what you see in #1 and #2 is that. Whichever guy was taking the screenshots had just taken a hit, and the effect hadn't faded yet.

teeh ee hee, he has a feather on his helm.
i like the details like the moons on the mahirim armor and the heraldic lion on the human. adds immersion when the armor design fits the racial lore

No apparent combat animations besides the stereotypical sword whiff effect, more terrible blood effects, and no real info.
Looks like they're just standing there getting beat by trails of air from swinging swords...
Shits weak!
Anyone noticed the little black lion on the humans leg plate and probbly on his shoulder plate to? (It's one of those old medival style lions). It can be seen especialy well on the third screen.
I think theres a big lack of tombstones for a graveyard. The big tree on one of the screens shown to the right looks cool as hell. Nice splatter of blood.
The whole screen lacks meaning to me though, two people somwhere that looks like the middle of nowhere fighting with only one handed swords not eving using shields... Whats the story?
Ruggulkrek
09-21-2006, 11:11 AM
Quit your bitchin' about the blood already. It'll look good when you see it in action. I remember before I started looking into WoW I said I'd never play it because from the screens, it looked like a big cartoon piece of shit. Then my brother got it and I watched him play it, and it had a certain feel to it that I grew to like. That's when the game first started and still had some magic. You know, before they turned the ENTIRE GAME into a mass pile of rancid dog shit.
It'll be ok.
Secondly, I'm sure you'll get over the fact that the 314th piece of grass in the left sector of the town of Gildar turns blue for .07 seconds on the 5th of June every other year if the moon is at a 68 degree angle from the 9th tree to the left of the fence post, but only if the humidity is above 43% and the wind is blowing 13 to 17 mph.
It'll be ok.

All i can say is i am not going to like looking at bright shiny armor the whole time i am in the game. The bright spots are so white that you have to wear sunglasses to look at the pic's (ok thats an exaggeration).
The Mahirim's chest is just as bright as the Humans armor.
I realize your trying to go for realism but looking at that bright of objects is going to be bothersume for many poeple.

Just go ahead a rub some charcoal on yourself. I mean, its going to a bitch to sneak around in that armor, unless you can dull it down somehow.
Screens look nice and it's always interesting how the RPGVault keeps changing the one sentence about beta release...
BLACKWATCH
09-21-2006, 06:04 PM
If we look at the changes overall each set of Screenshots shows remarkable improvement as thery are defenatly in the Polishing Phaze.
There has been different armor on the Mahirim and humans each time.
Plus the Quality keeps getting better each time , nice!
The graveyard looks like it covers a huge area in the back ground, You can wonder what may spaun if you wonder in. Or what Opening to a crypt or dungeon is lurking there. (Necro? Lich? Ghouls? Skells? ummmm!)
The blood looks like a streek, but its a single shot in a movement, the Movement may look beter as a quick spray of blood. Not a stain... as a video..
THere is a huge amount of changes in just the last few sets of screen shots, Good changes...

The detail on the armor, both the humans and the Mahirims, is excelent. If you look closely at the humans sword, youll see some kind of engraving. Possibly runes or some other kind of decoration. I like the fact that a feather is in the humans helmet. It adds a level of authenticity to the armor, making it all the more realistic. The back ground looks go too. Atleast, it looks good to me. I cant wait to explore that particular grave yard that they have pictured in the screenshots. I want to see whats in that tomb.
And, it looks like the human is winning. An added bonus.

Man, that mahirim's face looks really good. Especially if this is still a "mid grade" set up. Kudos to the graphics department :)

look at the last pic, the mahirim is obviously cutting into the human for some massive damage. Otherwise how is the human getting blood on his back from a frontal slash wound to the opponent, that's why it leads me to believe the Mahirim is indeed, omgwtfpwning the human

your just lucky he wasn't packing ghost claws, or doing hit and run on all fours, and the humans still getting wtfpwned, look at that blood spray from the mahirim's sword against that pitiful human, dominant, no, numerous, like cockroaches, and they will be stomped in a similar fashion.

Oh yeah, the ghost claws. Arent those the ones that only work during full moons and the rest of the time they are pretty much useless? Yeah, mahirim are real tough. :rolleyes:
The human is going to waste that Mahirim.
Ghost Claws, :lmao:.

Their regular claws? :lmao: Yeah, thats it. Those claws would only work against a someone with no armor. Humans are smart enough to know to always wear armor. so the calw thing wont work. Mahirim arent versatile enough to compete against a human.

we could go all fours, dodge around and use our speed until you left an open spot on your neck, or started disabling you piece by piece, biting off your hand, etc.
If you look at the video, his face and neck are CLEARLY exposed, a single bite to the jugular vein would kill him

Yeah, but there arent any one hit kills in Darkfall. So there goes that plans gonna back fire.
And im sure there is a way to counter a Mahirim charging at you on all fours. A defensive stance perhaps? Using a spear to impale the Mahirim works well too. Just use its momentum against it. The devs did say that physics play a part in darkfall. That would be a good counter.

I'm sure we can go over all the counters of a particular attack to eternity, such as rushing on all fours to fake you out into using a spear then wailing on you close range, but we'll never know until the games into our hands, that's why I hate waiting so much :bang:
and how do you know the Mahirim isn't level 40 to the noob lv5 human :lmao:
We need a dev response telling who was winning that fight :lmao:

How do I know that the Mahirim isnt Level 40 and the human isnt level 5? Thats an easy one. There are no levels in Darkfall. The game is 100% skill based. Looks like you need to :faq:.

Tell that to every other poster on the forums.
Besides, I was merely suggesting that they :faq: since they were still under the impression that the game was level based.

I'm talking in terms of skill-level, since if it's "skill-based" I'm not gonna say, well how do you know if the Mahirim doesn't have 5 levels in swordfighting, 2 levels in weapon defense, etc.
So basically I could put it that the Mahirirm could have 40"levels" in skill and the human 5 "levels" equivalent to a noob, since I doubt it'll be hard to gain those 5 "skill levels"
So you :faq:
just like with the Mahirim vs Human, you just got wtfpwned, and you kinda missed the entire point of the post I made
Mahirim +10
Humans, well, it would be wrong to take them any further into the negatives

Wrong again. The individual skills themselves do not have levels, they have percentages. Hence why the games skill system is 100% skills based. Looks like you just got wtfpwned. There are no tiers, levels or any of that other WoW or EQ cloning.
+20% for the humans.
Seriously you need to :faq: .

Nice models and the graphics shape up to be just fine.
But I would be majorly surprised if any news until release excited me as much as the manual blocking. :)

Do you have skill caps?
Yes, skills start at one and cap at 100.
where does it say percentages?
they are using numbers such as one and 100 not 1% and 100%
so..........................:faq:
-40points from humans
+40 to Mahirim

Fortunately, Humans will probably have an innate "Breathing" skill.
edit: I shouldn't have released this +number plague upon this thread. It's dumb as hell after the first 1 or 2 posts.
