Status Report- July 9

[Tasos]

I know that I said “a brief development report” but it has been a while, so it came out a bit longer than expected. There will be more soon-ish.

Darkfall is still in internal beta. Delays and development taking longer than anticipated is the norm in the gaming industry as we all know, even in companies and projects with virtually unlimited resources. In our case the time related problems were tied more with the development of the advanced technology and the tools behind the game and not so much with the game itself. While delays are the norm, we're not at all casual about them. They drive us crazy too, and we're doing everything in our power to minimize them. There actually is a bright side to this: the development process isn't linear, so the extra time helps us make a better game.

Darkfall is a well funded, fully staffed and supported project. Production has been stepped up since the last development report and right now we're going stronger than ever. Any speculation to the contrary is completely false. Not only are we fully committed to producing and supporting Darkfall, but we're fully committed to doing it without cutting any corners.

We understand and we even share the community's impatience to a certain degree. We understand that you want to know specifics about the beta testing and the game launch. All we can say responsibly is that we can see light at the end of the tunnel and we'll let you know as soon as we know for sure. The fact that our planning has been off before makes us more cautious about getting into specifics. The beta forms have been ready for months and our tester evaluation is an ongoing process.

Here are the main areas of concentration in Darkfall development right now:

• We're putting a lot of resources into testing and refining the combat system and the actual PvP gameplay, doing our best to make combat fluid and as much fun as possible without making it too complicated.

• We're revising the conquest system that we weren't very happy with and we've come up with several ways to improve it. We'll leave it open for further adjustment during open beta testing.

• Races: Character models, armors, weapons, architecture are completed.
• Monsters: Completed.
• Worldbuilding: We're still working on the Alfar and Mirdain areas, the Ice and the Jungle continent.
• Dungeons: We're redoing some of them that turned out less than great.
• Skills and spells are about halfway done being implemented.


Addressing a couple of the frequent community complaints:

Lack of feedback on gameplay and game mechanics.

We don't think that giving the community an x-ray of the game and analyzing Darkfall gameplay features while-you-wait is the proper thing to do and we also believe that we've gone way overboard with this in the past. This is one of the reasons we've chosen to give you a preview our game through features like the Travels on Agon, even if this is very time consuming for us. Finally there are a lot of things that we shouldn’t talk about yet.

Not enough updates / need more developer interaction:

Again, time is a problem here. Development is our first priority and time is very-very tight. Timing is also a factor, and the development stage we're at isn't very developer feedback and update friendly. With the previous website we gave you more than 70 updates over the course of a year, over 400 visuals, a bunch of interviews and frequent developer visits into the IRC channel and there were still a lot of requests for more. We're doing the best that we can.

Overall we feel that we've given a lot of feedback, information, and interaction, especially to the people that have been with us for a while. We do hear you though, we do read the boards every day, and we’re trying to improve the frequency and the quality of the feedback and interaction.

We'll try out this (possibly) regular Q&A feature and see how it works out. Brannoc has already set up the infrastructure for it and we're (possibly) looking forward to answering your questions. :)

[lurifaxa]

Thats what I call good newZ

[Spawl]

Thank you for the update. This at least gives us a picture as where the game stands now. The fact that there are still some areas to build, and re-working some items shows that we still have a while to go. I appreciate the candid comments. Thanks again.

[Darkmatter]

-bows-This is a great day! :)

[kehmesis]

YES! thanks!

[Senthryse]

always great to hear somethings getting done :P

[Mattheus]

Thanks for the update

[Athos]

Thanks so much Tasos

[Vinadil]

Fully funded and committed... good things to hear about a game we are hoping will come out :)

We know you guys don't have time to respond to all the threads... how bout the ones where we have gone totally off the board you just lock and say "um, no thats not going to be in the game" :).

[Pavlos]

Thanks for the update. It's good to here from you every once in a while, because even people who don't complain publicly begin to worry at some point.

[Yuengling.OoB]

Wow, looks like there is alot left to do.


Thanks, y

[Archibald]

thanks for the update, nice to hear about the stable funding and development etc , now get back on that game making treadmill ! *cracks whip* ;)

[nasents]

/agree

Thanks for the info. Glad to see some of the *complete* statuses. =)

Really glad to see the Beta apps are done <^^>

[carbonzee]

Thanks for the update Tasos!

[Phooey]

Great update, Tasos! It sounds like you guys got a little set back, but it definately looks like you know what you're doing. I can't wait to explore the dungeons! Any other group of developers would have left them as "less than great" because of deadline pressure and instead fixed them in a patch or expansion, if at all.

[Sarin]

Wow good update, we now know were the develepment stands. Well if funding backers have enough faith in you and are willing to give you the extra time to make the game right and what you think the pvp community has been looking for than I dont see why anyone else shouldnt have faith. I know a thread awhile back got a bit voiceterous with some strong opinions stated and it seems you do actually read and pay attention to what is going on in your community. You devs are the very very first devs ever in a MMO to actually respond to a concern it seems which for me is one step to the game I have been looking for in a MMO for a very long time ( since early UO really). Next step is the game itself and I am pretty confident in time you will deliver that and you will be forever my MMO godleh hereos :D

[Blade]

As allways its great to hear more about the development of our "Precious" :)
And this is one of the best updates to date. Thnx for the info Tasos and send a big thank you to the whole team for the efforts you guys are putting in this for all of us!!
I know that most of us apreciate it infinitelly!

Keep at it!! :)

[KarateK|d]

Dunno if this is the right time or place but I'll say it anyway, I told you so :p

Great news guys, keep up the good work!

[Brista]

Thanks!

Now, don't spend the whole summer locked in that cave - it's July and you're in Greece! :cool:

[G.Struepp]

Thx for the detailed update.

To be honest i was expecting less than we got, but the more i apreciate the infos, especially sweeping some worries about a possible cancelation of DF away.

2 thumbs up for your work, we all need a pvp orientated mmorpg.

[_Void_]

Good update, thanks.

[Metamorphosis]

Great report. One thing you forgot to mention though.. How are the quests coming along?

[Xiat]

Always nice to get updates.

[Urk_the_Smasher]

Good to finally hear from you Tasos. I guess I kinda feel guilty now since I made a few bitter comments about not having enough info. Anyway, all I ask is that you make a game worth waiting for. If you can do that, I'm fine waiting all summer, maybe all winter too, for beta.

[losinglife]

nice read a status update, gives me hope i will have more to read when i get bored at work :p

[Porthios]

Once again, thanks very much for the great status report. I feel that my hopes for DF have once again been rekindled. Keep up the great work, we love you guys for it.

[chuck farlie]

gimme DF NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW! NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW! NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW! NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW! NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!

[Arevin Roth]

I was earlier bitching bout the lack of info and im sorry. Very nice developement report thanks Devs! Cant wait to hear more

[Athos]

Good to finally hear from you Tasos. I guess I kinda feel guilty now since I made a few bitter comments about not having enough info.

Me and you both :o

[Kai Strator]

Great to here from you all again!

[AkielVonStrife]

This update seems repetitive and hollow.

I

[Darkmatter]

Wow, a strickt post coming from Akiel. But i must admit that i found myself nodding alot while reading his post!

I`m really happy today, due to this long awaited update.. I was one of the people starting to lose faith. I really love this game idea. But even though I felt this update to be insuring release and confirming some elements of gameplay - it does not however give much real facts about the current state of the game(crafting,pvp etc)

To be realistic; Some good concept clans are folding already(!) , and I`ve had first hand experience with being in a clan that has been in an extatic state for more than a year that just suddenly dozes off into inactivity because it simply has done all the discussing,planning and preparations it can possibly do with this amount of real game information. I`ve had to defend this game lots of times infront of gaming friends, confronted with them laughing at the old content and lack of updating for months at a time.

Did they really need us? Maybe, at the beginning - now, other things are more important.

It`s not easy being a fan these days, that is true - and though i`m active alot, i really dont feel like i`m contributing either. There is a lot of sence in what Akiel has written, but i still think these forums should be around. The site has not been real interesting to me since they released it.

We were promised a PR guy to be our contact with the team, while they concentrated about their development, to save time and fans - but this has not happened. Shouldn`t a fully staffed and financially secure dev team, with their own site, internal beta and forums with several thousand members be able to develope their game while keeping their fanbase growing ?

We thank you for the information given to us, but .. seriously.

[Humongous]

Thank you very much:D

[Athos]

Wow, a strickt post coming from Akiel. But i must admit that i found myself nodding alot while reading his post!

Aye

But I'm still happy with todays info

[Humongous]

Thank you for the update. Can I also say sorry for my post in General Discussion ( I was drunk that day :o ).

[Teth]

While I'd still like to wrangle a dev chat out of the lot of you at some point, o Darkfall devs, I must say that this post has cheered my weary bones mightily. It's nice to see where you're standing right now. I also understand now why you've been willing to give us screenshots with ToA but precious few hard details. Fair enough.

Do you guys still think you can make Claus' stated 'end of 2004' date, or is it too early in the year to be asking that yet? ;P

If you guys could bundle up a short status report every two weeks with your Travels on Agon, I think that would be muchly good...just a short little overview of what you guys were tackling this week, ect.

Or doth I request too much as a lowly fan! :D

[Akabe]

w00t thanx for update!! :D

[Veilroth]

Wow, a strickt post coming from Akiel. But i must admit that i found myself nodding alot while reading his post!

Same here! Although I'm glad we've got an update, I'd have to second Akiel's
comments.

[StainlessSteelRat]

Akiel & Niadr,

I understand some of your frustration, but asking why the boards are here only to point out that they don't fulfill your expectations isn't really a valid critique. Maybe the boards are just here for us to speculate while they work, who knows. If the boards don't server a purpose for you, don't visit them. (And I don't mean that in a snide way).

I, also, am not too familiar with game development and I don't visit these boards every day. I do continue to post, often the same things I've said before, in the hopes that the Devs are reading and taking note even if they don't let us know.

Missed deadlines and unfulfilled promises, while frustrating, are at least a sign, to me, that the devs are unwilling to force unfinished product out the door just to meet said deadlines.

Maybe we're all just guilty of hyping ourselves up too early. Granted they dangled a delicious looking carrot in front of us, but maybe we imagined the stick being a lot shorter. ;)

In any case, I hope to see all of you and your friends here when the game is released. Judge the game when it is out, not by the foreplay.

[zen_pollo]

Hooray!!

It's great to hear that production is coming along...

Keep up the good work...

You adress us both, we made seperate posts. In mine, i said i still wanted the boards. Those are my main source of information for anything darkfall related. The website on the other hand fell under my critisism.

Not to bark back in any way :) Just wanted to straighten that out.

[Athos]

The website server's as a source of information to those who are new to Darkfall. The Forums are just here for mindless rambling.

[thirty two]

this just made my day, thanks.

[Oakstead]

This is great news! I suspected the delay was due to the server cluster's dynamic loading technology.

Quote: "In our case the time related problems were tied more with the development of the advanced technology and the tools behind the game and not so much with the game itself."

This is an extremely important piece of technology to get right for any good PvP game.

[Aradorn Skyfyre]

good to hear the news =)

[Jax]

Pleasantly surprised by the update. Gotta give my support to the devs - keep up fighting the good fight.

[Andonis]

Thanks for the update :)
Seems like this is just what the community needed

[Aran]

News-even bad news[skills only half way done..etc] is very welcome,but as you say in the end the wait will bring us a far better game on release which is what we all are waiting for after all.

As for the bitching..well,you showed us a vision of the promised land and you wonder why we are screaming at the gates to be let in??

[Rhynn]

Great news all-around. The absolute best thing I heard was "the process isn't linear". Great to hear you guys are taking the "downtime" to finish up and further improve upon those things already accomplished. Other devs might just have put 100% into boxing up the game and simply saying "the hell with resources and quests, we'll chunk them into a post-release expansion pack!'. *COUGH SB COUGH*

Wel done indeed! You guys have my support.

[Drax]

For taking the time to keep us informed. Hopefully everything keeps on track and in future we can expience the game. One thing that i noted in lengthy Shadowbane beta process is a lot of players burnt out on game before release and only lasted 2 or 6 months before becoming bored with game mechanics. This is partly due to number of bugs in system but also because everything had been done time and time again. New content may have helped this process but i beleave main problem with shadowbane is 90% its forcus was on city vs city pvp , all large scale. Nothing was put in place to encorange raiding or smaller scale fights. Which generaly take less numbers and are far quicker to organize.

[Busk]

Very Nice. Keep it up guys :)

[Petro]

yay :) thank you!

[Kmac]

Thank you much for the update. I think (judgeing by alot of recent threads) that this is exactly what the community needed. It would be great if we could get a status report frequently (once a month or so) so we could better see the progess you guys are making.

At any rate, I am happy to see that you guys are taking the time to refine/redo apects of the game you are not happy with rather than leaving it as is and trying to patch it later.

Thanks again! :)

[Taneos]

Allthough we all complain constantly (because we want to get in to the game at last !!!! :) ) ... when you boil it down, this is exactly what we want. Put your time into the game and release it without cutting off the corners.

Good News, thanks.

[B0WEN]

You guys are lucky they are spending any time to tell you anything. If they so desired they could hide away and only concentrate on the game 100% and just worry about releasing it only, which wouldnt be a bad idea.. :ninja:

Didn't help much that the SB community turned every little PK into battle between guilds either though. Not to mention the alliances that they formed.. so if one person TK'd another then that brought in about 8 guilds to start another server war all because of a ninja loot on commander disc or whatever. And heck when things got too peaceful for awhile people started breaking off alliances just to start up battles again. I'd have to say that games mega fall was from the community not the low content. Although some extra content certainly wouldn't of hurt.

There could of been plenty of small battles. But the alliances the community formed prevented that. If only people had realized they were using nukes in that game over the smallest things causing as much harm to themselves it might of lasted longer.

[Jangang]

Thanks for the update, its always good to get an idea about whats going on with the dev process. :ninja:

Update A-Ok for me....its actually the subtle things that reignite my fire, rather than the update itself....

[Dogorox]

WTF? Tasos you got time to chit-chat on the forums, but I don't see a beta?
Get your butt back to work PRONTO! I don't need updates. I need a good game to play and you guys are my only hope! (ok ok Guild Wars does look sweet as well) But anyway, don't make me break out the whip. Crank this puppy out already!





lol JK. ty much for the info

[Ferox]

thanks for the reply, im glad that we always get the straight answers, this is why I trust the darkfall devs :).

Lack of feedback on gameplay and game mechanics.


Especially lack of feedback on "anti-cheat" mechanics.

Could anyone of the devteam please comment on your aproach to prevent that this game will become a cheatfest (dupes, netcode hacking, Texture exploits etc).

Questions:

- Can you track duped items
- Is there any aproach to secure the netcode
- How you prevent "counter-strike" style cheats like "Wallhacking" / Other Textures Cheats.
- Will you check the integrity of the binaries, libs etc. of the game on the client machine

Thank you,

:: hybris ::

[Flame]

Dear developer - its ok to be carefull with details, but time could be running out soon. EQ2 are closing in and SB tries to makes it more skill based. Warcraft will certainly be interesting for a lot of players. I know this is a mix of several kinds of MMORPH, but it is not only the possibilities to pvp who could count for many players but also astonishing graphics or fine guild communications or things I cannot see. When I post in your forums its of course because I especially want to support Darfall. I think you have to get the beta out running soon, even if you have to do it in a limited form. This would always be a trial to seen how it behaves in the "real" cyberspace. You could add missing dungeons and special areas when rdy. When we start for real the beta trial was just a trial and we will start all over again.
Your,
FLAME

[Gunther TheBlack]

- How you prevent "counter-strike" style cheats like "Wallhacking" / Other Textures Cheats.




Can't they use "punkbuster" to prevent this?

[Gunther TheBlack]

MWHUAHAHAHAA :D

eq2 is a completely different game.
"SB tries to makes it more skill based" Nope, the only thing they are trying to change atm is to implement a resource system.
And WoW is a nice game but it offers hardly anything new.

Darkfall is trying to be something new, not new as in completely new but mixing certain features that they don't have in any of the old and new big mmorpg's. Put that into a skill based system and you get a very attractive game imo.

Releasing it sooner will only make you LOSE customers since it will be a lot more buggier and will have less content, that will result in pissed of customers. If you wait you have the risk of people buying another game but you won't destroy the future of your game like anarchy on-line did with their release :)

[Yuengling.OoB]

Did punkbuster ever prevent cheating for more than a few hours?

If you wait you have the risk of people buying another game but you won't destroy the future of your game like anarchy on-line did with their release :)Did Anarchy Online destroy their future? I played from day 1. It was horrible, the bugs and the client crashing all the time. But i loved the game.
(i lost my hard earned yalmahas two times due to bugs)

After a year i took a brake, and when i returned the game was stable. And even though many players were pissed off at the beginning, many decided to return - and with shadowlands introduced - and Alien Invasion soon to come , they have more players on the servers than ever, selling a steady stream of copies of the game.

One thing is having a buggy game from release and not doing enough to fix it.
Another, is to keep at it and make the game stable through patching and dedication to improve the product.

In my eyes Anarchy Online , and Funcom has redeemed themselves.


If DF had a similar launch(god forbid); and I loved the game, I would stick by them as well.

[Snog]

I played from day 1.I was on the forums from the day they opened till the day I signed the NDA(Non-Disclosure Agreement)

Funcom was going to get another MMORPG up and running, a craft/village-based game set in Norse times, but cancelled it after they released the site and some concept art. They've got another as-of-yet unannounced game in the works, just ask Godager(Lead dev).

[Forgivance]

Thank you for update Tasos and the rest of the Darkfall folk.

When Arious Droc pointed me to this game some time ago I wasn't sure about it, but after following you for the last couple years I feel comfortable with the game still in development and internal beta. Thank you again

You mean World of Midgard right ?

Yes, i followed that game. And yes, it was skill-based like Darkfall is today. I do not however know how their other unannounced game will be like... :(

Oo, it's dev-quote time.

[QUOTE=Kjetil]Cheating is as you all know a pretty common problem in online games, and while I wont detail how, I'll mention a few of the ways we are planning on handling this. First of all, cheating will NOT be tolerated. The EULA will clearly state what actions will be taken against detected cheaters, and attempts to cheat will be at the users own risk.

We have designed the server in a way letting us insert cheat detection into every layer of the code, and are very aware of the fact that people will attempt to cheat. The basic idea simply is that the server decides what happens, and if the client and the server disagree, the server always wins. If you hack your client to e.g. move at twice the normal speed, it

We all look forward to future posts. :)

[dirtYbird]

Many thx for the update.

[Hybris]

Oo, it's dev-quote time.

Thanx for pointing that out. I never ran over this interviews. That should be in the game FAQ IMO.

How the devs go about game security sounds very reasonable and again highten my hopes for this game.

:: hybris ::

[omghax]

Its really good to know that we are only a few months off. I have been up keeping with the forums on a daily basis :D I dont really post I just observe which I fear will ruin my chances to get into beta oh well, just figured id post and say its good to know things are being "reworked" that are "broken" most games dont do that sadly :( like sb.... they implemented patch 3.0 on test... so much was broken with that... and still is... its horrible. Anyways keep up the good work a month before this game comes out I will be canceling my SB accnts :D

[mudge80]

This is good to hear. I have been patient for beta and I can still wait. I want a game done right not soon. I have not been chatting in the general boards much because I have said all I had to say, so now I will go back to waiting. Thanks for the update!

[Nevyn]

Thanks for the update. Take all the time you need...I am tired of games that are buggy from the beginning, and the bugs just keep piling up every time new features are added. That said, I can't wait for beta :D.

[Saeren]

Great, thanks for the update, Tasos. Hope to hear more soon, but when it's appropriate.

[Ashindir]

Nice update! I just hope beta is around the corner.

[Oken]

Keep up the good work

[Vicar]

Great update. :)

[Rhiven]

Im impressed with the confidence and attention on behalf of the developers/company. My experience recently in MMORPG gaming has been a disheartened lack of communication and appreciation for the customers. However it is so refreshing to come here and be continually assured and entertained with progress made.

Thank you for the updates :)

[Matteon]

Thank you for taking the time to compile and post the update.

[Murray]

Hurray!!!! Hopefully this'll cut down on the update thread whiners!!!!

[Khurtys]

I am glad to hear that you are taking your time. I started to play Anarchy on line when it first came out and it was a mess. I love the concept and idea behind this game take yur time do a good job. Thanks for the info. khurtis

[PurpleHaze]

Ahhh good to hear this game is still on track despite all the rumours people were throwing about :)

[Crimthan]

Great news, sounds very promising and also delivered in an informative, professional manner.

[Pantar-Cult]

guess ill be another one to repeat what everyone else has said.

Thx for the update!

[Zeralith]

I'm hoping that some gameplay movies start to come out, really soon.

Thank you for the update! Keep them coming.

[Crom2169]

Hey, wow. Thank you for that. By the sound of it you guys are very kind people. That update was PERFECT and I really respect how you do not give a date on beta-testing. Although I would love one to be able to look forward to that date, I totally understand because i have seen NUMEROUS companies either delay the due date OR they just say fuck it we can't piss them off and release it unfinished. I think at the rate and mind set that you guys have this game may turn out to be a very promising one. I will be here to test it when you need me and I really, truly hope that this game turns out to be one of the best for myself, the player, and for you guys, the creators.
