View Full Version : Duchy of Wessex to set foot on Agon again

It seems there are interesting political times ahead on the EU server as Duchy of Wessex is making a return and we suspect will try to follow through with their attempt at political domination of wide parts of Agon.
Read the official thread with all the buzz here (http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=272054).
Political situations on both servers seem to be quite heated right now.
Make sure you keep the Liaisons informed on the hot topics!

definitely is big news politically for the EU server :)
They failed while the server was full, so they maybe able to do something productive on a empty EU server.

Only difference is they didn't plan and build up for 5+ years only to get smashed in like 2-3 months and quit.

I'm not so sure you can say they failed when they had one of the largest Empires ever on that server, and only got brought down when everyone and a Goon zerg swarmed them. Just wish they were coming to NA1.

They will have a hard time, and the political situation is not very interesting because everyone is self sieging because your holdings go invulnurable if a siege gets dropped at you. Remove that and add territorial controll and we will have an epic political landscape

No, they definitely failed. They had a 2000 man zerg and 5+ years of planning/structure back when the common alliance size was 500 max with a few weeks/moths of planning. They simply made horrendous decisions, such as going after Yssam before the had put down the enemies in their own backyard.
Hell, had it not been for bugs within the system, Hyperion never wouldn't have even secured Yssam. Besides, you can hardly say they got "zerged" when they had 50+ clans in their alliance.

Wessex will be a perfect example of why a new server is needed. THey will simply get zerged down by all the pre-established powers. There simply aren't enough factions ingame, and every new faction that enters the scenee instantly becomes a target as a result. A new server is needed (At the sacrifice of the other two) so people can be given time to create new factions and a proper political landscape.

I dont think that ll happen. Wessex have received a quite warm welcome by the community and majority sees them as an addition to the landscape.
They secured Long March already and have plenty of Vets that have played in different clans in the meanwhile, they´ll be alright for the daily raids.

DF is what allowed Hypertron to receive the few wins they had and is what won Hyperion half of its sieges thanks to server crashes and bugs. Besides, the factors that made Hyperion members qui were the same ones affecting everyone else in the game. Cotc beat Hyperion, plain and simple.

It didn't all go their way. I don't remember them losing a siege until clans like Anvil, DBC, Thelma, etc all quit the game. I'm pretty sure CotC just beat what was left and claimed a victory over an alliance that was a shell of what it was before.

Actually every holding taken by Hyperion, was made possible by bugs. Also, the bugs/server crashes ALWAYS went their way. (1st siege on Tiquiya would have been lost anyways do to inadequate siege equipment.

We actually had tons of siege hammers and a few cannons.
Nice try though : )
All the Hyperion hate is unfounded.
Darkfall defeated us, not any player alliance.
Try keeping people playing after months of bugs, exploits, disconnects, laggy sieges, and then fighting people who exploited mobs to get super high stats and great gear.
I remember having a full 100 man vent, and then having about 10 people. This was all before CoTC or any of those guys.

I agree 100% with the add more Territorial controle as plee for more entertaining crafting, economy and diversity in the game. Djee on one hand everyone can everything... witch is fine and true sandbox but on the other hand, in crafting and economy, its a killer.
Anyhow, it should be an accomplishmend getting a holding for a clan noone should be expecting a holding from day one cause there will be no feeling of accomplishment at all. I remember those days with the duchy of wessex. I wish those guys all the best.

Yeah, clearly ping doesn't matter in a FPS-esque game like Darkfall.
Everyone would totally be at an even field with 200 ping vs 30 ping.
No one ever complains about ping when they are on the 'wrong' regional server.

Because there is a thing called lore. You expect the Children of the Sun to work with misborn? It's bad enough to work with those filthy Dwarves and Mirdain, but the fact that some of our Fathers Children would work with the likes of Alfar, Mahirim, and Orc is a truly sad and disgusting sight.
All misborn and benighted must be put to the Cleansing Flame.

While very true this probably isn't a very sensible comparison, due to the hype the game had at the time. One can argue the hype has been a bad factor long term. ;)

Ah, that's a shame. I'm not really planning to play again mate. Actually, I am quite enjoying browsing the forums every now and then, following what's happening etc. Seems to give me enough satisfaction during my rare moments of boredom (or rather, need for distraction).
It's a real shame I cannot post in the subscriber forums though! :(

Sad part is, I'd almost rather Hyperion to have won the war so that regionalized alliances would have remained ingame.
Cod3r:

Most likely true, although I couldn't back it up with evidence. The truth is separating the servers wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't already a fundamental issue with the game.
Darkfall is a niche MMO designed around massive combat between political powers.
Problem: You can have a tiny niche game, you can have massive political conflict and battles, but you can't have both unless you're willing to give a little on one.
Aventurine chose to cater to people who wanted no skill cap or any kind of real skill system, failed to properly implement hot spots, and took their sweet time doing anything about skill progression/any real communication with the community. It is much, much harder to revive a game after you've fucked it up than it is to just do it right the first time. I, for one, hope Aventurine manages it, because the game STILL has heaps of potential. Not to mention, there really isn't another sandbox game that can compete on the horizon let alone in existence. However, given in roughly a year's time they failed to really address any of the principle problems holding back this game's ability to become what it was conceptualized to be-- I'm no longer holding my breath :(.
Oh yeah, and Hyperion got nutcupped to all hell. Goons even tried to strong arm SBA into the fight, but we were content to piss off Dusk and battle it out with that behemoth.

There aren't enough newbies on both servers for that to happen. The spawns that are useful to older players are usually always used from what I can tell, but more people are held up in their city now than at launch. Yea, it won't be as much, but I think it would be more than 50% of the launch (3-4months in)

Domination through shady tactics with game mechanics and lag switches no doubt like any large scale PVP in this game. No large Alliance or clan play clean and fair to hold on to their terrorizes and assets and it all just boils down to bunch of people bitching how each side exploited the short comings in the client. Have fun fighting those who keep using lag switches in large battles because they're not prepared to loose due to egos.

Most people still need money and don't travel that far from their town just for cash farming. If they are getting a certain enchanting mat, that is different. That's beside the point. Population isn't near what it was before and wouldn't be even close if servers were merged.
Here's to hoping DF2010 solves all our problems and brings in new (and old) players.

3-4 weeks after launch i travelled through agon without meeting a single player, it wasnt exactly crawling back then either.

The clan never had a breakdown or anything mate, just moved out of Darkfall becaue the majority of the leadership (and members to be fair) didn't get on with the game. Darkfall = marmite :)
Ah well, I wasnt around when it happened, but thats good news. Atleast there wasnt any conflict.
And yes I guess it was, but right now? Wessex is really having a blast so there must be something they've changed for the better.

Looking at it from the outside (correct me if I am mistaken, which I very well may be), it seemed like the mayor reason for this breakdown was a too character developing focused playerbase?
I've seen KDS mostly in their base grinding skills, preparing for actual combat. Of course, in darkfall, the grind did not end until recently (it took months, most people are there now), causing people to give up. So while there was preparation there wasn't much combat :)
That's how I look at it anyway, I think darkfall is a game that does not need statistic based character development, but that's why I get flamed so much. :sly:
I can't edit my message, but wanted to say "abandon of darkfall" rather than "breakdown".

There was a massive focus on the end-game and macroing to get there. It burnt most people out, yeah. The problem is, if 10 of your poorer players get smashed by 2 or 3 guys who've macroed for 3/4s of a year longer than you've actually been playing, aforementioned poorer players are going to be self-aware enough to think "Given that I'm not an FPS god, I can't hope to compete even outnumbering them until I've got a beast of a character."
The disparity between finished characters and a casual's character was too much for KDS who were pretty much a casual clan for the most part. Its horses for courses though, and as I understand it KDS are kicking the hell out of world of tanks together, having a blast and waiting for SW:TOR.

Why does a non-factor attack a fellow non-factor?

Yeah tell Reckin likewise :)
I rly enjoyed talking and working with him also, very nice chap.
Not playing the middle man any further though ;) www.keepers.ws - If you kids want to pass notes you'll have to sign up to KDS forums.
A massive ROFL at calling WSX non-factors. They've proven to be anything but historically.

So can we haz' King Manus back? If not, these news are NOT threadworthy.
DoW is just a bunch of LARPER without Manus.

The DoW still exists? Do you guys actually play? I've never seen or heard mention of any of you since I've been back to NA1.

Its very likely that you havent. Wessex is a multi-gaming guild and we only recently came back to Darkfall. I believe most of us have been unsubbed since Terrae Regis and Hyperion Nova fell, which might easily have been a year ago, if not more.
