Nice looking shield!

Nice pictures.
Will this get moved to Darkfall News board though? (the suspense!)

[Protonix]

heh that is pretty sweet, good shots

[Suitepee]

heh that is pretty sweet, good shots

Proto approves! Move to the Darkfall News section,pronto! :D

[Virtra]

That shield is pretty bad-ass

[Darkmatter]

Ah! Those look like the old wooden churches found around Norway. That shield is looking good too.

The downside is the apparent 2d elements, but i'll get over them!

Thanks! :)

[Sarmatian]

Cool shield.

[Nevron]

I like everything about the shots. The environment just seems perfect to me, I feel like I'm suppose to jump through the screenshot and go kill someone.

[Darkmatter]

It seems like they're currently putting more emphasis on the textures of characters/equipment and such, which is fine by me. Looks great yup and at the same time it actually looks playable not something that'd kill my system.

[paade]

very acceptable, elven village looks like it should look. Hippiegayish.

[SamDog]

Doesn't look dark and gritty to me. I suppose the elves are the happy land if there is one though. Hopefully the other nations won't be so bright and cheery.

I note that the grass range does not extend more than about 25 meters (my estimate).

[crazyhorse]

excellent pics... crazy want more! CRAZY WANT MORE!:bang:

[rekker]

Lovin' that shield!!

Do you reackon thats a clan emblem on the shield? I doubt it'd be just a random pattern unless it has a certain name or certain lore behind it.

[Sidabras]

The trees look like they might show seasonal change. I like that level of detail. The grass looks similar to that in the shots of the dwarves. Overall, nice.

Also, the guys helm is a new look with the same dragon armor look for the body. Makes me wonder how much of the player base will be in very similar arms and armor for day to day fighting. I expect some decent pieces to become standard type gear for the masses.

[Cunning]

Very pretty, I splilled some blood on the floor, oh no. Not again.

[doma]

I really like the one with the shield. Niceness!

[Shadow Walker2020]

Great screenshots. It looks like that guy is wearing a bandana over his face. Possibly a bandits mask?

Anyway, the shield is kick'n. I wonder if other patters and insignias can be put on it?

You should look at the alfar lands instead of the fluffy elven lands..

oops.. damn, no alfar land pics available. :ohno:

But nevertheless, the shield look good, the sword look fine(i hate glowing wow weapons), and the armor is nice.. even the mask is absolutely ok, and it is fine to know, that masks are available.

[r4nge]

bandit mask.. my favorite kind of mask!

[Spart]

haha, i love it, especially that the graphics looks like it will work on my comp =)

[Nafelos]

Isnt the Mirdain city supposed to be surrounded by Aerthain walls? Just matching what I see with the description in Mirdain lore.

[r4nge]

hidden alfar (http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=27581)?

EDIT:lol

[Nehemia]

Nice looking shield!

Shield? SHIELD!? Can't you see his wearing a mask! Mask = also hooded masks! Now I will get my ranger look!

[Dronjak]

Nice

[BlackVolgan]

awsome he's wearing a hood.

hello gondor rangers.

[G.Struepp]

cool shield...nice screen for the weekend :)

[Legolas]

Sweet! Very nice shield and the facemask rocks!

[Gaelan]

Nice shots of new buildings. Cool looking gear. What race is under there though? Is that a human?

[huapua]

Oh god, no way my computer is going to be able to run DF...

[boby]

Agon need some...

:ninja:

[Crovax]

The guy seems a little out of place but that's just because of his armor I suppose.

[BLACKWATCH]

Good contrast on the Dark woody trees and the lighter greenish roofs, and angles suggesting Elf design, but sadly No Elfs, Run away? lol....

Interesting is the face cover like a robber or other wishing not to reviel there face.

The shield is interesting, but closer examining is the spikes on the armor, a nice touch.

If this is a Elf Building, congrats, Not the "Rainbow monkey " Coloring bloom that many games have, but a more dark , gritty realistic feel. More believable and a real feeling to it.

Very well done!

[Necrash]

Nice we get to see a ninja mask on that pick lol...
the one thing I notice guy in heavy armour with a cloth head part hmnn

[JediMindTrickz]

I got something original to say....I wanna play damnit!:lmao:

[fCo_Pancho]

I dont know if I like the scimitar.
It looks like a wicked tuning fork.

[LanMandragon]

those look really good.

[Malishan]

Woot! very nice.

[Suitepee]

Wow this actually made it to the Darkfall News area.
Much :lmao:!!!
That shield does look good....

[Dagger]

an elven city eh? a sign of beta? lets hope so, now weres the elves....

[Maglubiyet]

I wanna see that exact same shot but at night. I wanna see the lighting from the buildings reflecting off his armor, and how the colors look. That shield is the shit, looks really good.

[ObsiDian_Osiris]

ohh boy two pictures, this owns

[Nalira]

its sad when 2 pictures, not even great ones... stirs up so much interest, sigh.

[HellFire[GoD]]

Wow, thanks for the great update!

[Ezion]

Good to note a few new pics- wish they'd throw on a lot more, maybe 60 or so with various abilities...
Maybe in a month if we're lucky?

[Airius Droc]

Comments: I like this architecture (I'm assuming it's Mirdain) much better than the previous Mirdain screens. It looks a little cartoonish (less organic than many of the other screen shots, imo) (and also similar to WoW) and that part I don't like. But overall it's refreshing to finally see an Elven Village that captures my imagination. It

[Airius Droc]

...also, and I meant to comment on this the first time we received shots of the Mirdain buildings, but forgot to. It seems like the buildings and trees should be taller, higher, more imposing. I'm guessing that this is a technical limitation, or perhaps it's just the angle that the shot is being taken at...in any event, it's a lot like how I thought the Orkish capital would be bigger than it was. In my mind, the landscape seems far less grand than I've been imagining it to be.

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm not appreciative of the work that's been done, because I truly am. I just hate to miss an opportunity to give constructive feedback instead of just posting "w00t!" every other week.

I think in the case of the Elves, LotR's has ruined all preconceived notions about what "Rivendale" should look like. For all intensive purposes, THAT's what I want to see, just remodeled and rearranged. Go watch the movies again. :)

[Airius Droc]

...and another thing.

Organic. That's a big part of my reaction to these screens. I'm noticing that the trees that the houses are built on are very different. Probably the Mirdain magic that does that...ok great. But can't they appear more "organically" in tune with the rest of the surroundings? I don't want to see the tree houses from the forest, so to speak. :)

As they are right now, it seems (to me) that there's too clear a difference between where the forest begins and where the exteral Mirdain culture ends. From the lore I really expected more harmony between the two.

[Baasha]

I am SERIOUSLY "jonesing" for an open beta! These pictures are awesome, if the reality even comes close to concept, this will be the best game to EVER come out.

[Moosebish2]

Whoa!!! 2 updates in one week...

[Shramek]

Nice Screens, I especially like the one with the shield which also got me thinking that maybe shields could bare a guild isignia? I am really anticipating the crafting system...and what i can do with it=P.

[Sarusan]

Why do i feel that this village was showed months ago.....I just hope they work so hard to get beta ready for this year instead of making impressive updates. Oh, and i have a feeling that everytime they make some new item, graphicaly ended, they show it on screen, lets hope not lol.

[Shon'ai]

Does look pretty spiftastic, I like the curly wood at the top of the shield.

[Cidius]

For some odd reason that place is going to probably look like that during beta. Empty.

[[LoD]Dhal]

looks like the human models are near finish if not already. also good to see more variety in the weapon schemes coming along rather than the generic ones we've seen in the past.

models appear to be getting less and less blocky, i could really care less about cosmetics though they seem to be coming along quite well. with the game mechanics, i will play this game regardless so long as upon gold it doesn't crash every 10 steps. *cough* sb.exe *cough*

[Rummak]

For some odd reason that place is going to probably look like that during beta. Empty.

Unless they limit the world size available in beta :sly:

[Moosebish2]

Why do i feel that this village was showed months ago.....

It coule be that they just want you to see the same village again with all the brilliant colors and graphics.

[Kahlin]

Thats a sweet shield, nice catch.

[Metal Wolf]

Spancy shield, nice ninja mask too.

[Ruggulkrek]

Very kickass screens. I actually got very happy when I saw this one, and normally I'm the person that goes, "It's a picture of something you'll stop noticing after you play a week. Stop creaming yourself." ... But, this one actually gave me a slight erection.

But, that probably has to do with the fact that it reminds me of northern Wisconsin, where I lived most of my life. And I just moved to Vegas from there, so I went from humid forest to dry desert. Not to mention that shield is awesome. It looks fancy but very realistic at the same time, I love it!

And I'm not a big fan of the ninja bullshit, but, the mask looks great there. I hope there's alot of clothing options we can have like that just to give us a different look from other people and customize ourselves a little more, even if the clothing doesn't actually do anything. Like they did in UO =D

[Amilcare]

really nice thanks:D

[Unknewn]

Allways looking better and better :)

[Barbot]

Delicious.

[Martha]

OOC: It's nice to see how far the graphics quality has come along. The landscapes look lush and well-detailed, and the quality of the player model is great! I looked at these and was excited with the possibility of exploring another land.

[Agge]

Hmm, thats intresting, these screens looks way better then the screens on the mirdian village we saw earlier... Even though it just looks like they added some color and sharpend the texture.

[Wisperer]

Oh yea, way better then the bleached out look that we were shown earlier this year. The armor and shield look great.

[Yuengling.OoB]

Looks like there's a third one up now.

[JediMindTrickz]

Ya just saw that too...cool pic. Looks like houses by a major city or somthing.:ohno:

[Osirus]

good find.

[Metal Wolf]

looks orkish in the new one.

[Virtra]

looks orkish in the new one.
Yeah, looks like. I really like the 3rd one, very atmospheric.

[Narayan]

Look like dog houses.

[Xaeyr]

Nottt Bad!

[Airius Droc]

The new Ork screen looks very cool. I like it a lot.

[Airius Droc]

The new Ork screen looks very cool. I like it a lot.

Ok, I guess they could be Mahirim, based on the description. Whatever they are, they're good.

[Moosebish2]

I'm pretty sure they're orcish houses, with the skulls and everything. The Mahirim houses are actual structures that have dome roofs...

[Adreu]

Very nice work. :)

[Skeanthu]

Oh great, now I got the shakes again! :)

[Freddy]

Really nice graphics, looks like the movement may be awkward though

[lipe[cpc]]

This last one is quite impressive. The grass looks smoother and the details are just awesome.

[KillSwitch]

Very nice indeed. Intresting to see the horns on the sheild.. Would like to see more of them

[Narayan]

Oh yeah, the skulls. Dogs usually bury bones, so I might've called that one wrong.

[Marke]

truley cool grafics, takes me back to Obvlivion.

I just cant sit still thinking about playing this game... It has been a dream for such a longtime playing something like the start of "Daggerfall" as an MMORPG.

and soon the dream will come true! but with much much more Features! :D

[Sarusan]

Soon a Dev will come with "we have a 1 new picture in gallery update!", in next month(s) we will give you 1 screenshot with 1 extra if you behave nice on fourms...

PS. To Marke - soon the nightmare will come true with world without any NPC's or mobs to test...

There's already a new picture in the gallery! :D

[Lord Caim]

I know it's overrated but I'll go ahead and say it anyways...

:eek: WHOA COOL SHIELD!!!!:eek:

[Ghostface]

some underground and/or alfar screens would be great

/sob

[Marke]

There's already a new picture in the gallery! :D

love the grafics!

[LanMandragon]

Really nice graphics, looks like the movement may be awkward though

Could you explain to me how you got that the movement looks awkward from a STILL.

[Mystic_Fuzz]

I love how the grass is long and not freshly mowed like in other games.

[Indah]

kool

[monotoy]

Dhal;617128']*cough* sb.exe *cough*

made me laugh :) that one was SO terrible at start heheh

[Draugh]

Nice looking shield. Looks like the Eagle is a guild sigil, so that's good news imo. The mask is an interesting touch as well, good to see we'll have some neat options.

The village looks nice too, very clean and "Elvish" according to the Agon lore. It also looks like a tactically defensive place, with lots of highplaces to shoot from with archers, as well as that long winding path.

As for all the people saying Agon will be empty, I do believe the developers said that there "weren't going to be civilians" and that the cities would be populated by players, with the exception of the racial capital cities. So basically, yes, Agon will be quite empty until people get it populated with hired NPC's.

What I'd really like to see though is some of the miles of underground caverns that were developed, along with maybe a look at the human architecture.

[Lord_Carnage]

Nice shield indeed. And yes im back.

[jungjedi]

I am digging that shield action. I also can't help but have the urge to pillage that elven village for all I'm worth. It seems ripe for it! I am also extremely impressed with your contact with the public and your bravery in showing your works in progress. Rock on! Can't wait to play...:bang:

[PaleOne]

Ok we can change the title of this thread to two old pictures now.......


Pale

[End Dream]

someone probably already said this but theres 3 now

[armaya]

Agreed!

[Neverdie]

All shield no pvp :(.

[stalwart]

so, 2 weeks since they ninja-posted two screenshots...

bout time to lock this and put something new up.

[Skiptag]

Really nice pictures :)

[thefoolkiller]

Remember when they announced weekly updates and actually did weekly updates for like 3 weeks? Now its back to nothing again. Perhaps they gave up? lol or maybe they trying to get beta before Christmas. Either way, we need an update and I think you all agree.

It was more like several months, and then Tasos said they were getting back to hitting the grindstone and the updates were stopping.

[rekker]

This is the biggest joke I've ever seen.

Who follows this shit? This junk has been in development for the last 6 years and it looks like it's maybe 4% done. :lmao:
and it won't even enter beta in 2006 yet. :lmao:

not too mention the engine looks like it's a down graded version of Asheron's call 1.

this is so doomed it isnt even funny.



you want to know why? Because they blew their load in 3 weeks and had nothing left to talk about.

Don't you think the idea of the game is a good one though? And judging from the screenshots, the game seems like it could be fun. "Following" a game-in-development doesn't involve devoting your life to it (Unless you've got nothing better to do), and the majority of us will be able to happily continue with our lives if the game folds. There are many other games out there worth a play, and most of us realise that. I don't think its a doomed game, I think it'll be released. (Otherwise I wouldn't check the forums as frequently as I do for updates and decent threads) And just so you know, full scale development begun in 2003 (IIRC), which makes it a bit less than 6 years :P

Of course it'll be dissapointing if the game folds, but thats a risk any MMORPG follower takes when following an unreleased MMO! Cheers for the post, I doubt it'll change anyones mind though. People will always check back for updates for as long as they're interested in the idea of an open-PvP MMORPG.

[Mhorham]

Yea and its too bad too because its the only game deep into devlopment that offers the kind of gameplay I am looking for. I really wish I was seeing more progress out of Aventurine than I am because the basic concept seems ultimate.

We'll always have the wooden purple dildos that should taste like liquorice but actually taste like banana! And imagine Eddie Murphy saying that fast!

[Kalysta]

All the pics are great I am so stoked about this game I cannot wait like the rest of you. I almost feel like I am going ot burst everytime I view these forums and the main website. :D I am a guild leader on another game that is dieing and have been looking for a game like this since, well, since Asheron's Call. Hope to see you all in game :D

[Raekwon]

Someone should probably close this thread, it's so damn old the only posts left being made are ones saying that it's old or saying that DF is vapor. Both of which we dont really need to hear again.
