Darkfall may be an Explorer's game

Czzarre

I know the game is tough ...tough to look at, tough to manage the user interface, and very  tough to survive.

However, I find that a lot of players are sticking to the same places near and around the starting towns/ guild cities . Grinding up crafting and venturing out very little. My suggestion is dump everything into your bank and go exploring. No, there isnt a lot of PVE mobs out there, but there is a lot of things to find. I highly reccomend that you put on your swim trunks and check out all those small islands. Found one the other day filled with ruins. In the midst was a weapons crate (that I could loot) that when you approached spawns a demon. Damn hit hit hard and from behind......... I was running! bobbing and weaving through the fallen buildings with that hellspawn hot on my tail. And then it hit me...hey! that was fun.

 Does it overcome all of darkfalls problems..no. Does that make this game fun for everyone? no. But I think I'm going to head out a bit more in the ocean and see what's lies in the far corners of this world before I leave

Almost every set of ruins I have found do, indeed, have mobs. You simply have to hang around a bit.

 

(Sometimes, what spawns, pwns.....lol)

Yea its wierd. Sometimes I happen into a ruins (IM down in CAIRNE now) and nothing is there. About 2-4 minutes later the place is crawling with agro mobs
