Darkfall "Released"

[Herring]

Forums have been down due to large volume, almost double our highest traffic to date, people weren’t able to access them. We brought them down in order to be able to post communications so you would know what was going on.

The hell? Weren't they posting their communication through irc bot?

on the word of mouth, at the moment it seems to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_05vPCO58o

Their official IRC channel is still offline since "Stratics couldn't handle the load."

This is how you become a god.

Wow, he's comparing his developing "new techniques" (like jumping and spinning to fire an arrow which has been in WoW forever) to Darwin writing the "Origin of Species"...

Posting in an awesome thread for no reason.

Keep it up chaps.  I just want to say Good Luck;  we're all counting on you.

Sarcasm troll is sarcastic.

I personally like his analysis of looting - "Proves nothing, it's a fucking mini loot game"

The players bio reads:

I'm a level 205 Sho male called Dread Og and I play on the Darktide server in Asheron's Call. My general purpose and function is to pwn noobs which I do on a regular basis (actually all the time LOL). I post pk vids that show how good I am + I am starting a Diary so you can learn more about the best pk in AC. I also tackle cultural and political issues.

Fucking WIN.

You can't be a legend if you didn't play beta.

[Lantyssa]

I couldn't care less if you take a turkey baster up the tuck nightly.  The internet is not a snuggle bunny of happiness.

Yes, but message boards are both private and have a pre-existing community with their own standards of what is acceptable.  We can be complete jerks to one another, but we show some fucking respect, too.

It might behoove you to not be a complete ass on your first day of posting ya damn breeder.

Edit: Breeder implies getting some.

[slog]

All we need now is someone to hack the client to use GM powers and teleport everyone to the middle of the ocean.

We already have that here.  Do try to keep up! 

It's a shadowbane reference.

[ashrik]

uh oh, teh gheys are getting up in arms. Better distract them with a quick Tasos update!

Update 5.49pm GMT

After addressing a couple of early issues the servers have been running very stable for several hours and we have a large number of players in-game right now.

It’s normal to expect more issues to surface in the next couple of days. We postponed our scheduled maintenance of 10am GMT for later until we can gather some more data and address anything that comes up in a patch later tonight.

We’re aware that some areas are experiencing sync issues for some players. This is a high priority issue that we are working to address as soon as possible. We know the cause for it so it shouldn’t take very long. We will keep the servers up while this is being fixed and we will bring them down for a patch later tonight. For now, players can move away from starting areas to improve their experience.

We have processed the problematic accounts that were never charged but received a successful pre-order notification. Only a small percentage of these were successful and we found out that this is because most of them contain incomplete or incorrect account information. We will try this one last time again tomorrow morning European time, and we’ll open up account management later tonight for these accounts to be able to correct their account data and credit information before we reprocess them. If anyone does not want the pre-order to be processed, they should remove their credit card information from their account. After this is concluded we should be able to open up sales for more Darkfall copies.

That’s all for now, we’ll keep you updated with anything new that comes up.

That's a re-post. (like i have room to talk)

This isn't, the video is labeled laggy, but i do not think that's lagg.

[HaemishM]

Was that speedhacks on the day of release? 

[Mrbloodworth]

Was that speedhacks on the day of release? 

That's what i looked like to me. That's too fast, and to much ground covered between blips to just be lagg, lagg also dosnt speed your animations up like that, unless they have some sort of crazy tween/blend system i have never seen before.

[Soulflame]

I'm not sure that's a speedhack, it looks like severe disagreement between client/server as to where the avatar is in the world.  i.e. someone moves a tiny bit in one direction, and the server shows them continuing to move in that direction til the client communicates again, at which point the server "snaps" them back to where they should be.

[kildorn]

It looks like that (bad desyncs and client prediction gone wrong, circa first gen multiplayer shooters), but the thing to watch is that the player jumping around like that is moving REALLY fast compared to everyone else.

While it's possible, most of that's due to your client getting "player X is moving at Y angle at Z speed" followed by "no wait, he's right here" popping,  but Z speed shouldn't be "faster than should be possible" even in a high lag/shitty client server code setting.

Yes, that what happens with normal movement prediction, however, this looks controlled, and is also speeding up animations. Nothing else, and none else is being affected. Also the ground covered..... that's not normal compared to everyone else on the shot.

Duh.  I know.  I was there. The guy who caused the incident you're referencing is already on f13.

I read it on the internet so therefore it must be true or it just might be a bunch of butt hurt turkey baster loving chimps making up lies to comfort their sore egos.   Oh and I'm in playing Darkfall, guess you guys are gonna have to find something else to hate on.  Maybe try religon?

[Draegan]

We hate on religion in another sub-forum.

Respect is a two way street.  If you don't like me posting here ban me, but I'm not going to apologize or kiss someones ass for using a vague generalization in a post.  Anyone needing that level of safety in life or on the internet has bigger issues then my posts.

It's a to way street to where?  F13 is certainly not a politically correct forum by any stretch of the imagination.  However, there is a certain modicum of respect you want to give people.  To determine that level, it helps to, on your first day of posting, not refer to the whole community as "you fags", which crosses that line.  Seriously, we may be jerks to each other around here, but I think most of the comments are about a person's game opinions, and not personal life.

Mr Soar pants knew damn well I wasn't targeting him he just choose to get on a soap box.  He brought HIS sexual preference into the thread not me, if he's got a insecurity problem with that it really should have kept it to himself.  I'm not shell shocked when someone calls me old, fat, or a pollak.  I can't believe I'm even having this stupid argument.

[Arthur_Parker]

I'm kinda interested/amused to see what happens with Darkfall, for better or worse, hardcore pvp guilds/players like Sinister/BoneDancr are the target market.  So unless the intent is to limit Darkfall discussion, allow for a little more intensity to posts than usual.

"lol fags"
"Hey, you know, some here *are* actually gay, watch it."
"WHY DO YOU BRING YOUR SEXUAL PREFERENCES INTO THIS THREAD"

Good to hear you're enjoying Darkfall, from what I remember from Sinister in UO you are the precise, literal target market for this game.

With most of us pushing 40 now were no longer in the bracket.  Old-man hands makes you lose to much.  But hey some people trade in wifes at midlife... me I just get another video game.

P.S. Good to see you to Lum, how'd that gig work out ;p

Wonder if the age in his profile is real...

Also, drop the white knighting. Lantyssa can defend himself.

Or maybe you could have done some reading, noticed that among the various insults we throw around, that one is not widely used.  Like Lantyssa said, it's helpful to learn what's acceptable and what's not.
