Nothing about trying to fix or give the game some sort of skill cap so im still not interested at all in playing this

[UniToxic]

I do have to say it looks like they are at least trying

[Sarkhan]

Aquatic themed expansions are always a + in my book, hence my undying love for ToA for DAoC (besides the unbalancing it brought to the game). So, +1 for boats; here's to hoping MO has them!

By the way the giant squid looks honestly scary. I started getting worried when I was being chased by sharks in DF (I was in a raft).

Player owned vendors

Darkfall went the route of specialization instead.

There's already a module slot for houses in beta designed to have a vendor behide it, so we can expect that.

Well it has been on the plans since first MO trailer and powerpoint...

But I have to quote myself

Exactly. The game wont start growing just because of that. And the other reason to it is that the engine is their selfmade. It takes huge time for them to create patches and bring more to the game world. The "expansions" which they add are just big patches. You can count in fingers how many of these real patches have been deployed to the servers, and now I mean all of them expect quick patches. There are 6 of them, six I say. Yeah think about it...

It's their biggest issue that how long for them it takes to get anything new in to the game as they have to find solutions with their own engine, this will not be problem for MO as it is using UE engine which is currently the most high tech engine there really is. Even tough sv uses the older version if I'm right.

To be honest I tryed darkfall three weeks ago, I really wanted to try it, but no.... I was really, really excited to see the world again since the release but serious shit that hasn't still been fixed. Horrible voice animations, pvp cheat when you take off your ethernet cable and get it back on you blink in the game world, world of harry potter online, people with enormous amount of hp and strenght and tons of gear in their banks, gold is worthless because of farmers which sell 50000 dfo gold costing 50dollars... Every player in game crafts their own equipment as they have every single crafting skill maxed, guild alliances concisting over 10guilds. Totally empty world, waaay too low playerbase and waaay too big world for it.

Every player in the game are specialized in the class of warriorpriestroguemagearcherminercraftergatherer.

And still, almost every "player town" is premade...


I'm not not saying that the game itself sucks, but the system truly does... No skill cap, harry potter online and their own engine issues and that leads to the timeframe they release patches which sucks.

The crafting and other stuff is good but yea... You just can't compete anymore.

I don't really see anything in this patch what would fix this...

Sure it's cool stuff for the existing players but it's the same schaisse for new players still.

Sharks are easy, first time i was like WTF IM DIEING. Then you notice they only hit once every 10mins because they cant aim shit.
I still shit my pants when i come across the red dragon while im walking/mounted.

They found it, besides who says that rabbits are also carrying epic items they didnt mention wich ones are able to drop them. Maybe its a giant mutated bear who killed an adventurer but is stuck with an epic sword in his body waiting for you to finish him off.
Or maybe the testicels of deers and rabbits are epic?

[inferno3387]

looks pretty freakin sweet

[Dot Matrix]

[Gobwar]

I'm really tired of games making monsters more difficult by following the same exact 2 steps.

step 1: give it more HP/defense
step 2: make it do more damage

The fight LOOKS interesting, but it's the same old PvE damage race...keep your HP above 0 and hit it til it dies..repeat. It could stay under water more and attack the ship forcing the players to fight it under water, it could swim to avoid attacks from the surface and pop up on the other side, forcing players to watch it's movement and keep track of its location so they can plan the next attack.

This.

World of Warcraft has been doing good job on this one tough, the bosses have actual tactics but after you kill it few times it gets old. Expect if the encouter is really long.

[madsholme]

cool, one thing i liked about DF was their sharks

[Branwulf]

Sadly a sea monster and some slot machines isn't enough to get me to waste money on the sub.

[Zigkirby]

Wow, that looked boring. If Starvault tries to pass this kind of crap off as an "epic encounter" I'm going to cry.

Arrows do nothing to Kraken, you need to hit it with ship cannons.

Guy probably didn't knew that, or didn't knew that cannons now require black powder to shoot. Kraken and new requirement for shooting cannons are in game since 8AM today.

Sure, expansion/patch made ships cheaper, but you would still need tremendous balls to take 4 ships for Kraken hunting :-)

I agree, it was so repetitive, Its ok having an epic mob like that but if the AI sucks it may as well just be a goldfish :P

[Hawk]

Awesome looking fight, games needs more encounters like these.

[trast]

I think it looks cool actually, games need more water encounters.
Though, the fight looked kinda boring, considering there werent much tactic present, just shoot the canons.

Then again, I don't know if you have to do something special.

[Stingerslick]

I thought the AI was very basic though, The mob itself looked pretty good but it was like a throw back to an old PS2 game or something

[Maleus Garyn]

Needs better AI. Tank and spank mobs are trash.

I will cry too... tears of joy! If I can sneak around a group fighting this type of thing and wait until they kill it then stealth in and loot it and make off with the epic loot that will be so freakin' awesome!! even more awesome if I can steal it from somebody there after they loot it

[Velleity]

It just looks like a flat out dps race against a large sized gribbly.

Oh and it'll fuck you out of a ship and all your stuff you are carrying, if you fail.

Yawn.

[Orbious]

Reminded me of those octopus sprinklers that flail around, hehe.

Didn't look all that interesting really, but it's something other then just PvP at least.

[Slightlycampana]

Merged both DF expanion threads

Trials of Ascension? I would murder someone if that game would be released.

Otherwise yes, DFO is trying, and they deserve credit for that. Let us hope MO can take a page out of their book (but not read the rest of it).


First AoC, then DFO, now MO. Let's hope the third time's the charm.

not an epic encounter, that was just raping.

you need more than 1 boat to kill the thing.

[Bruin]

At first I was about to post "Let me give old girl another try..." but then I realized it would still be a laggy, horrible, laughable, unrealistic, sucky-combat-having game with an excessive and never-ending grind.

So no thanks--again.

[BasilTeshi]

DF was always a fun game, kept visiting the MO forums and such while playing it with the feeling that DF was kind of like the beta of what MO is trying to be always in anticipation of MO. Good ideas to start and then build upon them. After being part of the Beta of MO since block B, I am actually looking forward to trying DF again after the changes since i left while i wait to see how MO will turn out with time.

[Wanwo1]

That game is certainly coming along.

[Kiev]

this expansion actually sounds like an expansion! the previous one was just a big patch imho.
