Hey, i'm new here. Just stopped playing wow, and starting looking up new mmorpg's that i could start playing. Darkfall caught my eye, and seems to incorporate alot of the things that was missing from wow, that made me quit. Anyways enough introduction. I'll get to a few of my questions. appologies if they have already been asked, so many threads.
I read that Darkfall will be technically first person. Ie: you have to aim at what you want to hit. Sounds like a good idea to me. But Given the nature of Massive multiplayer Online games, i was wondering how any lag will affect the ability to play. I come From Australia, and unfortunitally all the servers are overseas, so i get ping of around 500 as a good ping. I know from playing with friends on lan the effect of the lag, as on one computer your two characters are running along side, whereas the other, there is a sizable gap. Also, since this game seems to focus alot more on pvp, and all out war, for lack of better termanology, two teams all fighting in the one area, at the one one time, might also cause lag. My theory was that mmorpg created the Target player fighting mode, to reduce this problem. Like i said my question is how will any lag effect ones ability to play/fight. Is there anything incorporated into the game to solve this problem. Ie: a game system that what ever you hit on your computer will kill them no matter where they are on theirs?
Also while i'm on the topic of being from Australia, One thing that has annoyed me about playing mmorpg, is that there is never an australian server for australians. Population whise we aren't that large, but we do still have alot of people playing games. It would be really Nice to have a server where we can get decent pings, Minimum lag, and where most of the players are all on when you would normally play. Is or would Darkfall Consider and Australian based server?
One other thing that i was wondering about was, crafting, and resources. My assumption of the darkfall crafting system, is Simular to the old starwars galaxies System. Are the resources a mine on the ground you hack a few times, or a deposite in an area of the world, you put a mine on to extract them. Also will the resources have a quality %, which means what ever items you make, are improved by the better quality recources used to make it?
Anyways they are my main questions for the moment. Sorry to babble on. Thx for taking the time to ready, and looking forward to the game being released sometime soon hopefully.
