Update October 11th

[Tasos]

As you may have guessed, there are no offsite updates this week and this isn't due to lack of topics or desire, but purely because of increased workload.

We're in the middle of an effort of maintaining beta preparations while continuing to develop the game. In regards to that, I understand that the main information you need is a date, and we're getting closer to locking a schedule in.

We'll return to the regular updates hopefully next week. There will be an addition and we're also planning to do more on the official site. We're also very pleased to see some original content on Darkfall Warcry.


About releasing videos, it's a drain on resources and we don't want to release anything substandard just to put something out. The point is to capture the true look and feel of the game. We are working on it but it's not our number 1 priority.


Clan beta registrations will resume next week. We have been sporadically reviewing new apps but have fallen behind on the demand. We ask for a little patience on this since we're shorthanded on the task.

In the next couple of days I'm going to start posting developer answers to some questions asked in regards to the latest updates starting with the Dwarven RPG Vault introduction and move on to the the Darkfall tactical overview update.

Until then.

[[AG]Salsabus]

Zounds good. keep it up!

[Daarco]

Love you people :D
Just keep the good work up:cool:

[Tongue]

Nice update

[Casus]

[Maj]

Due to the lack of updates you should stop in IRC and say hello!

[Gunther TheBlack]

okidoki

[G.Struepp]

thx for the head up :)

[Phooey]

As always, thanks for the update! Sounds like we can look forward to some good information coming up. :D

[Red-Eye]

Good with some explanation and forum activity.

[rekker]

Cheers, this'll keep the "WHERES DA UPDATE" threads away for about a week. Looking forward to this vid.

[Paco69]

Cant wait hope its good bit of info :D

[Taneos]

Basically one of the best updates ;)

[Chronos]

In the next couple of days I'm going to start posting developer answers to some questions asked in regards to the latest updates starting with the Dwarven RPG Vault introduction

Sounds like we are going to get an explanation on the 5 Dwarven clones from the Dwarf update screens. :)

[Dronjak]

Nice answer to all the impatient people out there.
Mesa love Tasos long time.

Keep it up :)

[doma]

now THIS is an update! A dev posting on the forums! :D

Interesting. Thanks for that Tasos. :D

[Airius Droc]

Cool.

Any chance we can get an official "SCS Rocks the House that Rocks the House" soon?

[JimLad]

Thanks matey.

This actually means more to me than the usual updates, hearing about the game state first hand beats seeing some new screenshots any day imo.
That and dev answerings is all we really need right now. I look forward to it.

[Razel]

a well thought out update, nice job Tasos, rock on

[Forgivance]

Awesome, thank you much :)

[Darksoul_]

Any chance we can get an official "SCS Rocks the House that Rocks the House" soon?
if they have anything but a clue and read the thread they'll post a SRS rox the box :)

[Stigma]

The key isn't to feed us more material, but rather to let us know what's going on so we aren't totally sensory deprived. Good call on making this heads-up post Tasos. I hop you'l take the time further down the line too.

I love PR talk.

That's the kind of stuff I like to hear about.

Thanks.

Thanks Tasos, glad to hear all is still moving along. Looking forward to the Dev answers.

And yes alfar need some love... feel free to leave out the elves though no one cares about the elves.

Well, its good to know that the devs are paying attention to the fourms. Its also good news that they really are working on beta preperations. Looks like IGN was right.

They are going to be answering questions from posters. Thats great. It shows they really want to keep players informed.

Thanks, Tasos, for the info. Dont rush it, guys, everyone wants everything to go off without any problems. Take all the time you need. Everyone here wants to see Darkfall be the best game it possibly can.

[ObsiDian_Osiris]

Cool deal

[alfaroverall]

My only reluctance is that I hope the devs aren't thinking "Shit, we gotta get Darkfall out soon or Aventurine is gonna kick our asses out for not paying our debts. Let's botch everything we haven't already finished and get clan beta out next week." Please devs, don't do this.
If this is untrue and you are just hiding most of your completed content, then I continue what has already been said: good update.

[Nerma]

Good news. Im glad to hear things are progressing.

[crazyhorse]

mmm I love hearing the word beta:D


:D me too... nicely done, an update worth drooling over!

[Virtra]

Good stuff. Its nice to hear that clan beta registration will resume, though I am surprised that they would need more to sign up, as opposed to individual sign-ups. As for answering some of our questions based on the recent updates - is there a specific place where we can submit these questions, or have you guys just read over the forum responce to them and are getting our questions from that?

[BLACKWATCH]

Lol, Now that all the Fanboi'ism has died down, whats with the appluse for telling us the information pipeline has dried up, and there behind.

With there normal were going to realy release information , just as soon as we reach a milestone, Right uh huh...Soon.. (heard that one befor)...

Same effort to tell us there is nothing ,could of been used for something ...

Nice of them to say there not going to do anything, but at the same time give a glimmer of hope by "allmost" implying there getting close to a Public beta...

I guess after a few years, I dont see the same way as the Fanbois do anymore.

When they release a set instone date (S) (or at least try) Ill start beliveing it... Tell then its wishfull talking...

[Niccoli]

Awesome to know whats going on (kinda). :D

Keep giving us updates like this, it's good to know something is happening behind the curtain. ;)

[Killuminati]

yay I like this update :D can't wait for beta date

[morrigu]

Great cant wait for the dates

[Xenodude]

great job Devs really looking forward to it!

[NewRage]

I might have been corrupted (and probably have) but am I the only one who noticed the wording of "maintaining beta preparations"? Maintain doesn't mean come out with, it means to keep in its current state. Technically in order to maintain the current beta, they would have to do... nothing. There is nothing to maintain at this point. As a matter of fact maintaining the beta seems like a bad thing, I would rather they don't keep the current beta in its current state. Do people just see a dev tag, and the word beta, then get excited?

As for the part about the video, I've kinda been upset since that deathpig video. They released screenshots of the death pig, and people claimed they were faked, so they released the ingame video the screens were taken from to shut them up. Anyone else see the problem with that? They took the video, and instead released some screens captured from it.

I'm not here to entirely bitch, but I'm kinda curious why people are so excited about this lack of update... or pre-update. I'm looking forward to the interaction coming up, but this is far from the "best update".

[Leric]

don't know if anyone's said this yet but

"We're in the middle of an effort of maintaining beta preparations while continuing to develop the game. In regards to that, I understand that the main information you need is a date, and we're getting closer to locking a schedule in. "

that must be what caught my attention most.

ty for giving us this news ahead of time.

[Akatosh]

No news is good news I guess. They probably need to re-open clan beta signups because the information they have is rather old... Or they may just want to get more clans or clans that are still following.

[nazual]

Basically one of the best updates ;)

Indeed. In fact, I've never been this happy for darkfall :)

[jova]

did he say "date"? I thought he said it, I really did. Yay!

[Mobed]

I'll be waiting...

[Malishan]

:ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

Yep, I'm sittin on pins and needles here too! Thanks Tasos

[Ultimo]

yay, fun stuff! keep us updated tasos ol buddy

[Rokolith]

Can't deney I'm a little sad no new DF news this week, but its good to hear that things are in full swing! Best of luck!

[Squatch]

I've become a bit addicted to the updates. Time for withdrawal symptoms!

Thanks for throwing us a line Tasos.

[tiggerlove]

Elf love plz...forget alfar :)

[Draacco]

Tasos, You guys need to let me produce a video for you.. If you really want to hit the heart of gamers from WoW and EQ and get them over here.. I'm the man.. I know PvP, I live PvP..

Here is my resume' for producing video's for various games.. It's all about the storyline and the delivery not the cool graphics and pretty mountains.. These guys just want to blow each other up; not look at pretty sunsets.. I have some great idea's and the gaming community will go nuts over this game with the right hook..

Maintain doesn't mean come out with, it means to keep in its current state. Technically in order to maintain the current beta, they would have to do... nothing.

This really made me laugh hard. It's funny because it's true. :)

Everytime an update comes out I think to myself "I wonder how long the devs could do this before people just stopped paying attention?" I'm guessing that Darkfall could literally be in production for 20 years and people would still follow it as long as they got a few updated screen shots.

Soon! lol

Until then, have a good laugh at yourself. That's what I do. :)

[G.Struepp]

I might have been corrupted (and probably have) but am I the only one who noticed the wording of "maintaining beta preparations"?[...]I noticed it aswell.
I'm no native english speaker, but for me that sentence sounds pretty strange, directly translated to german it's even worse. But afaik Tasos is no native english speaker aswell since he seems to be from greece - so i wouldn't nitpick on this expression.
I tranlated it to: "We're in the middle of beta preparations" - that's still vague enough not to be blamed by anyone :D


BTW:

[...]Technically in order to maintain the current beta[...]it's not "maintain beta", it's maintaining beta Preparations :p

[Kamigatta]

YOU HAVE ALL BEEN TRICKED!! I hacked into Tasos's account and posted that update.. muahahahahaha :ninja:


bah just bored.. GJ on the update.. cant wait till next week..

[Poet]

So I am sitting here at my computer, trying to ignore the fact that my male roommate is watching the Tyra Banks show...

I type in www.darkfallonline.com (http://www.darkfallonline.com) with hope that there will be some new words put out by our heros from the Darkfall developement team.

Tasos,
Although, what you put out was not filled with exciting news, you may have saved my life tonight. I was planning on murdering my roommate (who professes that he is heterosexual) and than taking my own life.

Each day, when I come home, my roommate is relying on the E! channel for entertainment. Each day, when I come home, a peice of my soul is destroyed.

Thank you for saving me Tasos!

Btw... before ya keel the roomate, find a place to stash the bod, i suggest stuffing him under the bed is not a good idea either...

Nice I have always been a fan of the straight up disclosures from developers to the community!

Thanks for dropping in and giving us the heads up.

[Figrix Voidstar]

All positive info - good to hear!

It's been a fun ride so far and it's going to get even better :)

I can't wait for more ^^

[Nehemia]

This is something I like.

But as locked beta date... Dont say "soon".

[Darthsteveo]

I can't wait till the update. I think about Darkfall all the time and how badly I want to play it. I've got my guildies all into it and they are excited as well. I hope the devs just give us something we haven't seen in the pics and vids, and surprise us. Hoooah

[Taliac]

Why do i think of Duke Nukem forever now? :ohno:

[PainlessDeath]

If you build it (right), they will come.

[Trent Fireblood]

Dear Tasos,

Thank you for another update. I do believe that Darkfall will be epic (one day).

Until that potentially memorable day I await uncomplainingly and with great patience only because the alternatives are sh*t.

[Skiptag]

This was more revealing than some of the updates ive seen :D

[WonderBrick]

While the personalized update by Tasos is nice, I interpret this as business as usual. They are hard at work and have to keep breaking their estimated dates at beta due to the workload. While Tasos's update is full of wishful thinking, it is nothing more to me then a message that they are still alive and working hard.

I would love to read some substance about development milestones hit or missed, instead of this hopeful fluff.

I appreciate the time Tasos took to post this, but my expectations of beta are still as they always have been: a year from now, forever. :P

better lock that schedule in by the end of the year


also about substandard video posts, i think to capture the true look and feel of the game you arent supposed to edit up the video to make it look better.

and stop releasing substandard screenshots if thats the case



sorry if im trolling

[Amundi Olaf]

Thank you Tasos.Allways great to hear from the developers,I'll be waiting until
next week then ^,^.

[Ghostface]

thanks for the update Tasos!
looking forward for an concrete timeplan and some unseen/heard information!

[Lone Swordsman]

well thanks for letting me know the project is still moving

i want you to know i'm still interested in the game as i'm sure others are as well
we're still here and won't give up if you don't

i do want a christmas update though
it would be a good present to have something to chew on

[Opal]

Keep the info comming!:)

[Davis_Andrews]

releasing videos is a drain? of what, like 5 minutes?

Bah. I call BS

I agree lol... oh well, its not like im dying every moment that i can't play... so i can wait.

[Zalasahr]

DEADLINE for BETA is 31.12.2006 :))
i hope a little bit earlier:sly:

[Dagger]

beta dec 25 2006:D

best time imo (screw wraped gifts):D

LOL, ya under the bed eventually gets messy not to mention a horrid smell after a week or so...

[Ezekiel]

always nice coming back and seeing that something is happening :)

[Zanthox]

Tasos, you've filled my ample belly with exuberant and joyful butterflies and my heart with hope. May you always shine so brilliantly as you do now.

[Komako]

An update... promising an update!

Listen to the fanbois cheer!

[cybernegy]

I demand a time frame for the release of the time frame for beta/release!

Glad to see Tasos is atleast hearing everyone's gripes. Hopefully next time he shows up, he comes with some real information...and hopefully the next time is sometime real soon. I think if anything is going to happen by the end of this year, they should be able to tell us by the end of this month.

[BlackVolgan]

dont listen to the demands devs...

We dont want this game to turn out like dark and light.

I knew they would miss dates and not live up to their promises but, WOW, I didnt think it would happen right after tasos' post. It is now Saturday and we got nothing more from the devs. Where are the dev answers at? All week I thought we were going to see some change begin to happen. I should have known I was kidding myself.

[Neverdie]

He said "date" and "beta" in the same paragraph, the world is coming to an end! Sounds like progress ;).

[Bigbone]

I could care less about a video, but I am ready for beta :)

couldnt have said it better myself
but so far this game is alot more involed with the online media then dnl ever was and the devs talk to their potential customers alot more.
Ive stayed with my guild from from their cuz they were great guys

[alfaroverall]

So what'd you guys propose for the 18th's update? Give the devs some ideas :)

Im new to the forums, and I've been reading about this game for the past 3 weeks now. The ideas sound amazing and I just hope you can acoomplish them , and prevail where other devs have failed.

the ideas and graphics look great what specs will you need to run this and when is the release date :)

[Moat]

:faq: :search:

there is no release date nor do we know the specs.. Since you are new I will let you in on a little secret.. The FAQ is a great place for answers... if you still have Question.. Use the Search

I can't wait for this game to come out, it appears so complex and community-based that it is guarenteed to be a success.

We are still under preporations for beta.( right now we have figured out many strategies to use on the unsuspecting beta users. as well as our lead designer is now high enough in smithing to make almost all ingame weapons.)

An for the second part Its a drain not on our resourses( but on our stragegy), the point is ( We dont want you stealing it when we raid you every day an night)

Thats what i read, an when they get good enough, then they will release the beta...

You sir, are a moron. You see, if they wanted high "skilled" characters before releasing beta, all they would have to do is..well make their chars the way they want them. They ARE the devs you know, they could just as easily insta 100 in all skills as they could ban your account :P.

Why build or restore a classic car, when i can just go buy one. Now wheres the fun in that.. Then again why am i even bothering with pointing this out to a 12 year old anyways.

Car...game character...car...game character, guess I'm missing something in that analogy. Are you saying they've had these characters forever? But didn't use them much, so the characters got a little rusty? And now they are rebuilding them? I think you could've used something better to compare, then again thats just me.

Hmm. this isn't news. There's nothing of substance in it. But it is nice to have communication from the coal face when there's no coal coming down the belts.... in DnL we don't even get that.

Uh, comparing this dev team to dark and light is like comparing....... actually its hard to compare dark and light bullshit to anything.

Anyways, it doesn't take much to qualify as news here, and it doesn't really matter because beta isn't out, they havent' charged us for shit, so its all good.

[Malishan]

It's an established fact that a :P is not a smiley, its a tongue-sticking-out expression to describe disgust, irritation, "bleh" , or just an "oh well", but clearly it does not indicate a joke! :D :faq:

It's an established fact that a :P is not a smiley, its a tongue-sticking-out expression to describe disgust, irritation, "bleh" , or just an "oh well", but clearly it does not indicate a joke! :D :faq:

Thats a pretty gay Emoticon. Look, it's even pink! Obviously the lowercase version has come out of the closet, but :P still means disgust. Maybe thats why the big P is disgusted, little bro has traitorously swapped teams!

The ratio in this DFO community of fanbois to neuts and doubters looks to be at a similar level as early pre-beta DNL community too (that's: lots of fanbois posting caught up in the hype; lots of neuts reading and only a few doubters frothing).

Here's hoping the news about the lack of news is not the start of a regular "Sorry, too busy" series of news items.
