1) Graphics aren't great but they allow for lower end computers to handle larger numbers on screen. Graphics don't make a game, they may define part of it but no game should be based off of this. Graphics are important for games. To say anything less is to not know the industry. If you read what i put it stated that a) the graphics aren't great b) it gives a reason why c) never says graphics aren't important d) i state that it defines a part of the game. By your statement here AoC should be the best game every. and wow should have been scrapped from the beginning. 2) It took me a whopping 5 minutes to get used to the control scheme and i didn't get any of the beta cake. As for the hotbars, can you not remember what buttons you have set those abilities to? or do you have to look at your screen everytime you need to use something? Drivel. You are not saying anything beside I am good and you are not. Doesn't take away the fact that the controls are bad, regardless of you thinking that you are better than me or not. There is a brief overview of buttons when you start and there is a help button that takes you to a website that shows all commands. 3) There isn't a lot in the world so it feels like a real world. I will admit much is left out due to being unfinished, but i enjoy the fact there isn't some baddie sitting behind every tree for some odd reason. I take 30 minutes to drive to the next city over and i don't see 40 dear, 20 bears, 12 wolves, 170 other people, and a village that has been on fire for the last 5 years... haha, not heard this one before. The lack of content is what makes it feel like a real world LOL, you fanbots crack me up. your right. it would be awesome if mobs were around every corner, heard you moving, and you get swarmed by 10 before you even know they're there. When you read a book it isn't constant action, but when you watch the movie it is. I don't know about you but i feel more immersed by a book than a movie. 4) It is kind of refreshing to see a company act like human beings. It shows they aren't necessarily concerned only with the money. They are willing to put not only their business but their name on the line for this game. As for the server downtime, I am not sure of the reason honestly. You win there. Human beings? I work as a software developer and acting like they have done and using being human being as excuse does not cut it. Their behaviour has been anything but professional and customers pick up on that. Actually i don't give a damn what you say, because i stated my opinion on how they reacted. I didn't present it as fact. "I" (key word there) don't mind seeing them act this way. 5) Range has the advantage of being able to hit over a distance and melee has a wider los to compensate. Where's the problem in that? The problem is that forced 1st person view is something that no MMORPG has ever tried before. I wonder why that is. Could it be because the massive majority of players does not like it because it works worse than 3rd person view? Why other is it forced if it works just as good as 3rd person view? I wonder why all FPS aren't done 3PS instead by your logic? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean there isn't a reason. 6)Who wants to do quests anyways? I know i'm not here for that reason. In other words you win, but in a small, small way. If you can't do it properly, or your playerbase does not want it, then why have it in the game at all? Just makes you look bad to have a bunch of quests with poor english. Again, unproffesional. Why are you arguing here? I said you won... You seem as if you just want to argue. 7) Yes things are missing, but i hear that some games can patch themselves and add more content once its ready. They still plan on having most of whats in there. Maybe they should mention it isn't ready yet, but the ideas are still in the making. (some of them) This is one of the downsides of supporting a company that doesn't have other IP's to keep them afloat while they dump in more money to improve the game. Even though it is common for MMORPGs to cut down on features, what we see in Darkfall is just extreme. I mean, over half of the stuff on their web site is not in the game, not just one or two stuff HALF. And i also see stuff getting added in. But since you jumped ship so quick if you played at all you wouldn't know that would you? 8) Thats your opinion. I find the combat better than facerolling the keyboard for a win. Yeah because "facerolling the keyboard for a win" is what modern FPS games are like... And here i was thinking this argument was about MMO'S... 9) god forbid your characters abilities be based off the skill you have instead of the skills your character doesn't. Since everybody is the same it allows anybody to be competitive against anyone. So what? That is unresponsive to what I said. The problem is that there is only one viable build and you are saying that is good because then everyone are competetive? My good, then why not just give everyone the same class and be done with it? The point of a skill based system is that it, theoretically, gives room for many, many different combinations. However in reality that works only for a balanced and well tested skill based game, which Darkfall is not. If you don't want something you don't have to get it. If you want it, you can. How does that limit different combinations? No game is ever perfectly balanced when it first comes out and Darkfall is no exception. p.s. The game does have its flaws and i'm not here to say it doesn't. But there are people who enjoy the game and talk about the positives without their reasons being 'stfu. uz not hardcoer enuf. u doesnt like becuz u suxorz and were looted to many times." There are people who enjoy being shit and pissed on. That is not an argument for something being good. No it isn't. But someone who is neutral to the scene of Darkfall will see there are people who enjoy the game and will now be able to see some of the things that are good about the game instead of just the bad from naysayers and trolls/flames from supporters. However, I will give you credit for not being like the scores of other Darkfall fans that respond in the way you described. Thank You. I just don't want my community being cut down in size because there are forums that say it is bad. When they see contradicting opinions, if they are intelligent they will be able to form an opinion of their own instead of following the rest of the sheep here. Whether that person likes it or not I don't care, but with a niche game like this it is really hard to judge someone elses opinion because you don't know what kind of gaming interests them. You either like the game or hate it and a lot of people who bought the game have realised it either isn't for them or it isn't ready enough for them. I personally don't mind giving AV my money in hopes it will lead to further enjoyment down the road. There are other's that do.

Because I paid for 30 days of game time and my account went inactive after 28?
Do I have to list more reasons, or is this one good enough?
This game is a major flop. Moving on....
The one and only.
Please do and stay away. Thanks.
