Will there be Gypsies in game? That move around the countryside at random? You could visit them, partake in your fortunes/games and perhaps come out a winner?! Have you palms read/crystal ball and have a percentage chance to have either a buff or debuff to skills for the next hour perhaps?!!

You could even do quests for them and earn the title "Gypsey Honorary Memeber", ect...


Heres hoping!

Like the Darkmoon Faire in WoW? I don't think there are many buffs in this game if at all either....

This is the stupedest thread EVER!!!!! :bang:
Where are YUO from?? F****NG DREAM LAND??

Fair go... not everyone wants to go around trying to pwn everyone else's ass! Some are happy to get their ass owned every now and then while getting their palms read by gypsies about how they are about to get their asses pwnd...

Seriously though, I think the general concept is ok... details would need to be well thought out though - and who knows, maybe they have put something like this in already???

*waits for Hammer'Em to come and type some tiny detail in a small, gray font again* :rolleyes:

(At least in 6 and 7, probably in earlier ones too. Not sure about UO tho.)

You want gypsies? Make a gypsy clan and do it yourself. Nothing stopping you there.

I hate gypo's, cant trust em, they take anything they can get hands on an they are without doubt the most disliked people you can meet.As for in game, how would be a gypo (or if you have delicate sensibilities) A "Traveler".

Yeah a gypsy clan would be nice. =) If they're just nice and giving buffs to players... A Free Kill (AFK) if they're another race... oh, what race should I take? The Zerg ones (humans and so on), the maybe skill-better orks and whatever or the very less alfar? First ones will maybe have good cities, many players, second ones the better players and third one just can hope that they're not being overwhelmed by the others? o.O Economy-Factor is on humans and so on, skill factor on the orks and the avoidance factor goes to the alfar - I should choose human, they can do everything but crap out at everything too - but then there maybe won't such gypsy or noob clans to take on with them... -.-

Americans are typically assholes.

But w Gypsies in game we would be fearful of going near them, you just know another band of Euros will be rushing to its spawn point to slaughter, rape and pillage the filthy sub humans and the honor of being the genocidal hero that claims the head of these roving thieves. The hatred, spite and unreasonable distain we will witness from Euros will shock our sensitive and free loving American sensibilities.

Then Americans will realize we are not all that bad at all and Euros are evil vile and twisted racist bastards and then how will America fall so they can go back to butchering each other again? So as such no, I cannot see any Gypsies being in this game.

If they put Gypsies in the game, they would have to add Whores, Prostitutes, Jewish beggars, and Nazi followers to even things out.

sorry but no long term buffs



13. Does Darkfall have "buff" spells?

Buffs have always annoyed us as players. Buffs tend to be very time consuming, repetitive, restrictive, and pointless because they negate themselves, they can make characters virtually unkillable, they're sources of constant visual and verbal spam, and distractions to say the least. In games with a lot of buffs, you spend an awful lot of time preparing to play. We prefer that you can just log in and start playing instead.

Darkfall has few buffs and they're mostly tactical and situational. They don't last very long and most are buff other spells. This way they become part of the action and not part of the preparations.

In Darkfall "my buffs went out" definitely won't be an excuse.

America can kick your ass, twice.

And I thought this new asshole president of ours Obama was suppoesd to to tell the other countries that America isn't as stupid as they think it is. (But by voting Obama in, the opposite is actually true, and not because the color of his skin is different, just because he is a fucking moron).

Euros couldn't take care of their own problems in WWII, why would it be any different today?

Sorry but I couldnt resist

When America fails, everyone else fails harder. More starving children with AIDS in Africa I say! Not because the color of their skin is different, but because they are "fucking morons" (joke and sarcasm applied)

Tell my gypsy can you see me
in your crystal ball?
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end

Anyway, nomads in general are cool with me. I'm sure you could RP as a gypsy.

You never know, a group of players might think up a way to do this. If the devs give us the tools, someone will think of ways to use them.

You'd need guards, wagons, and some games of chance.

Ummm... WWII did actually originate in Europe... started by Europeans against Europeans.... Are you forgetting there is more than one race of people in Europe??? Besides, the US sat on the sidelines until the Japanese broke their secret pact with the Nazis and attacked the US instead of the USSR. By the time the US arrived in Europe, the war was half over in the European theatre. To be fair, I'm not saying that you had no influence at all, but I don't think you deserve the "hero" status you're acclaiming to.

Oh wait, should I add here "Sorry but I couldn't resist", 'cause that's still funny...

Don't forget the US funded both side of WWII and WWI.

But this game is about what the people want. If someone wants to be a band of gypsies than the can do that. Make a guild and travel about telling fortunes and stuff.

Ah…. the glory of infinite possibility in a pre-release forum.

Sadly, post like this build a game up beyond what it is, causing disappointment on release.

If you want Gypsies, maybe you should become one yourself.

Why is there always a debate about the USA "saving" Europe during WW2? The Allies would have won regardless of American involvement. Hitler and Mousolini made several grave mistakes like the diversion of German troops to Greece when Italy was overwhelmed which delayed the German invasion of Russia and caused German troops to freeze to death in the harsh Russian winter.

If there were gypsies in the game for these things, you better be able to kill them too.

Imagine, you come across some guy watching with joy-filled eyes as gypsies lovingly read his palms, and just as he's thanking them or whatever, you run in and brutally massacre every last gypsy right in front of him. Then as he's crying, you can mercilessly kill him too! Then loot him!

Will these gypsies steal our mounts(horses) and loot chickens from our towns too?

Burdock
01-01-2009, 07:04 AM
They could, and they would be good reagent sellers for spells, like "Witches eyes" for the spell "Mage sight", ect. (Mind you, they are a real witches "eyes"!)

Remember the original warlock movie with Julian Sands? "With mine eyes will guide thee...."

We prefer to be referred to as Roma.

I am reporting you racists and hope you get banned for life.

You're all just jealous of our godlike wit, enormous penis size, and glorious riches.
