Darkfall "Released"

[schild]

It's obviously a joke. Also, MMORPG uses green for sarcasm? That's it, we have got to stop using it here. And if that's where it came from, fuck whoever did it first here. Fuck'em, right in their tiny, puckered browneye.

* schild snarls like Dick Cheney.

I never used or liked green text anyways. Fuck that coddling bullshit. You can all fall into the sarchasm for all I care.

[Signe]

I wonder which ones are plain bellied and which ones have stars upon thars?

[Nonentity]

Wow, they DO use green for sarcasm.

Th... that just... just.. suits them so.. w- w- FUCK I CANT DO IT, IT'S TOO UGLY

[UnSub]

Elvian regretted bringing up the subject of threesome.



... I'm sorry, but that's what I see when I look at this. Most awkward couch situation ever.

I was the one who suggested it, and I don't think I've ever browsed their forums. I'm pretty sure they stole it from us.

[ashrik]

It's just that one guy, who uses it for all of his posts all of the time.

I've only ever seen mounts done right once in a videogame. Most of the time, they feel awkward and are animated terribly. Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess come close, but Shadow of the Colossus got it right.

The mount animations and whatnot were terrible in WAR, but I found the inability to sit far more annoying.

Ever play Mount&Blade? The base game does them well, and some of the mods are glorious.

I have no idea why no one has copied or bought them yet and implemented the combat system into a MMORPG. God forbid combat actually be fun!

[Rake]

Darkfall devs have said that they were trying to implement the combat style of Mount & Blade in their game from a few years back. Would be awesome if this ever comes about.

sorry for not being off topic

[Draegan]

There is no topic in this topic.

I'm probably going to get banned for this but this is something that I cannot keep to myself. I've just be accepted into the internal beta for the white/gray border and after finally printing, reading and signing the 2344 page NDA agreement, I cannot, in good faith keep this from the true fans on the border, although the NDA forces me to be silent for 46 years.

After numerous hours of grueling testing, it turns out that the border is in fact not a border at all but 4 columns and 3 rows arranged to look like a border, with the background color set to gray. However, the most interesting part is that each row and column has a 1 pixel clear GIF image with the file name "clear.gif". Each image is also stretched to 10 pixels either horizontally or vertically depending on it's location.

This just reinforces my worries that the developers have been slowly caving into the carebears. The hardcore fans do not need this "clear.gif" image. All it does it take away from the freedom of the border. Don't you see? The border is fixed to be 10 pixels wide or high, it has no freedom.

When they added the flash animation of the dragon, I started to worry that they were caving in but I thought to myself that they were just updating the site to make it more appealing to the general masses but a clear image that contrsicts the rows and columns? This is too much!

My question is how much of their vision for the border are they willing to give up in order to get more subscribers? What's next? Java Script? PHP? ASP? "Bind on use" spyware?

Oh well, maybe Mortal Online will stay true to their vision and not insert GIF images into their rows and columns which are emulating a border.

LOL @ that thread.

What is that guy talking about?

What is that guy talking about?

After 2 months of nothing, Aventurine finally updated their website to put a white (or grey) border around it.

[Signe]

To be fair, they updated their news page on December 1.  And there are still NINE whole days until the game is released!

I just highlight the text and use the little forum dongle buttons up top! Like This!

If green is going the way of the Dodo, hot pink is the only REAL alternative.

Good enough reason to kill it.

Falwell, we don't need a damn alternative.

[Triforcer]

Agree.  People should just, you know, have common sense.  I've always said that not green is the new green. 

[Righ]

You do realise that they will just copy not using it from us too?

[schild]

I'm OK with that.

[tmp]

edit: meh, broke the quote and too lazy to try and fix it

[Signe]

That pink isn't hot anyway.

[UnSub]

I'm going to keep using green because I don't care what the MMORPG.com forum does. They all use English too, but I'm not going to start posting in Esperanto just to be different.

[Draegan]

They don't use English.  They use Full Retard.

[Mrbloodworth]

Never go full retard.

[Draegan]

Never goto MMORPG.com

[Signe]

I go there sometimes.   Are you calling me a full retard?

oops.  I forgot to use a sad smiley face.  :(  I'm too lazy to find one right now.

[Lantyssa]

I only use green in Politics where common sense about what is sarcasm is harder to detect than normal for some reason.  Out here, you're on your own.

In politics, full retard is just a stepping stone to fuller retard.

[Triforcer]

It makes sense that we haven't heard from them in awhile.  Researching extradition treaties and selling all your office equipment to convert the proceeds to Paraguayan guarani takes a lot of time.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't a retard though...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller

I go to MMORPG.com as well. And Massively.com. They can be useful news sources and I like to hear the viewpoints of those less cynical (even if they are frequently naive) than here.

I like Massively.  Even if the journalism leaves something to be desired, its still a great clearinghouse for finding and linking random interviews that you may have missed about your favorite MMO (it really got me up to speed on DCUO, for example, and it always says something when SWTOR gets up new screenshots, or even new avatars).  That's not this site's function, at least not on a full-coverage, systemic basis.  Both types of places are nice to have.
