    They don't even have the common sense of doing something so simple as using commercial grade fonts lol

    Oh look.. someone decided to completely miss the point. How cute.

    Ya they would have 10 mill subs only because they are Blizzard Entertainment and have the best Dev's in the world and have a ridiculously good reputation..   

    they would also "NEVER" have a website that looks as god aweful as Darkfalls because they also have the commen sense to see that it would reflect badly on them...

    No I understand perfectly well that you are a troll that has come into this forum with no other purpose than to try to rip Darkfall apart so you've gotten desperate and decided to attack the website because you've got nothing credible. Sum it up for you?

    QFT

    Catizone just give it a rest.  You may get a rise out of some DF supporters, even me sometimes, but no one takes you seriously.  It is pathetic how much you hate this game, and yet still decide to let us know about it by posting and making new threads.

    Like i posted elsewhere, a normal person would simply just leave this game behind and leave us simpletons alone to follow the game if they believed it wasnt comming out, garbage, vapourware, or whatever else you trolls are trying to claim it to be these days.

    It's not my fault the website looks like shit. I didn't build it.

    I see people are once again MISSING THE POINT. So I guess I'll waste a little time to explain it to the slow thinkers.

    If these people were actually SERIOUS about building a AAA quality game , if they were serious about getting as many subs as possible , if they cared about what people thought of them and their future product than they would do the best they could in representing that product to the public and that includes putting together an amazing website to showcase their product and their work.

    FACT of the matter is.. the website looks like garbage. Their PR is garbage...  Their game is 7 fucken years behind schedule and for all intensive purposes still appears to be in ALPHA.

    Does this look like a company who is serious about their product and image?

    I think not.

    Can I get an Amen?

    AMEN

    Although I do agree they need a PR, I will argue with you about the website...you know, the point of the post?

     

    Having a certain website will most likely NOT mean they do not care about the game/will not have many subs.  The reason WoW and AoC have such great sites is because they have money to spare, so they decide to make some fancy site.  Other games that do not have this money to spare will not waste money on paying a web designer to make some fancy website.  Games that are early in development OR are new to the MMO publicity will also not have great sites, since there is no need for one.

    You seem to somehow think that every game NEEDS a good website to be a success.  That is clearly bullshit, since people get these fancy sites AFTER they become a success/get a large amount of publicity.

    The games like Darkfall and CoS really don't need great websites, since a) they are a new company b) not far in development  and c) are new to the large amount of publicity.    As long as a site gives recent info about a game and all the necessary aspects to get someone interested, then I could really care less about how the web design is.  Also, you make it seem that web designing is simple to do, especially for someone who is not experienced in that field.  Well guess what, it is a complex job, although you make it seem extremely simple.  Also, web designers can be rather expensive, and read here so you can see that web designers can cost from $1500-$2000 dollars.

    Just because a company does not have a great website does not mean they are not serious...Although Adventurine does show other ways they are not serious, web design is NOT one of them.

    This thread is so far in the troll flamebait section that I'm not even going to actively participate in the flaming.

     

    At least when I come in here to argue with the normal Darkfall supporters, and/or fanbois, I at least get some entertainment, as most of them are fairly intelligent. This thread doesn't even deserve the effort. So:

     

     

    I like pie.

  • TheodgrimTheodgrim Member Posts: 535

    Is there anything that cant get excused away? 

    The site reflects on how thorough and professional these guys are, if they really care about the details.  It is NOT a good thing that they ignore a poor web site, and it does NOT mean they are able to put extra polish on the game.  Any reason they give for this will be one that reflects poorly on the company.  (Lack of money, lack of time, lack of skill, lack of interest - all bad.)

    Frankly, it is low on my list of "things that concern me about Darkfall", but it certainly is valid.

    LMAO

    Really?  You are going to attack their website now, lol?

    I might be wrong, but isn't their dev team about 20 people, maybe 40?  So they should hire another person, for 7 years, at probably 50k/year or more, to do occasional updates to their site?  Then if you want to say that they could just hire him to make the site and be done, wouldn't it be better to wait until the game is close to being done so that the website won't need updates.  Definately not a good idea for someone on a tight budget.  That does not make business sense.  Don't argue business sense if you have none.  Seems to me they could spend that 50k/year on another programmer or artist, someone who contribute to the game everyday.

    Furthermore, look at WoW, they have a fantastic site, yet I would not go back to their game even if no more mmorpg's ever came out.  Sure they have 10 million players, but that doesn't mean crap if you don't personally like the game now does it.  So as far as I am concerned, WoW, as a game, is a failure.

    If DF was really marketing their product hard, and being the small company they are, I would be worried.  If they thought the game needed lots of marketing, I would assume the game is less than spectacular.  Halo 3 anyone?  Also, the people that are actually following it now, will probably make up a minority of the customer base.  When they release they can revamp their site and be ready for new customers.  Take any financially successful game and you will see that players that followed the game before release, were a very small group, I'm talking games with 500k+ subs, really this will probably apply to even unsucessful games.

    Let's compare the website for Adventurines 2nd or 3rd game to that of AoC and War.  Those companies making those games already have released games, so they already have a nice cash pile to throw at web designers and hookers.  I guess I could go to a mom and pop restaurant and complain that their advertising isn't as good as McDonald's so their food must also suck.

    Your mind is like a parachute, it's only useful when it's open.
    Don't forget, you can use the block function on trolls.

    Does this look like a company who is serious about putting out a game?   A games website represents the quality of the company and the product..  Darkfalls website is a joke.

    See how that works?

     

    No no, have you seen Aventurine's website?  This is the company that many claim is an international company with Greek defence contracts and supports not only computer gaming activities, but also pro athletic events in countries like Lybia.  Here you go... prepare yourself the most amazing website you have ever seen... I present to you http://www.aventurine.gr/

    Enjoy!

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    So you really think it takes $50,000 a year to build a website and update it? C'mon let loose the common sense....

    That's not what I said.

    It doesn't take more than a few thousand dollars to hire either a web dev studio to build a very nice website or a freelancer to build a nice website.

    Catizone-

     

    Look, I never said the website was the greatest either nor is it the worst I've seen on the web by far. Its actually about average. Nothing more, nothing less, just average. My main problem is not what your saying at all it's with you, period. You're a troll that comes into this forum to do nothing but try to rip this game apart. I'm no huge fan of Darkfall's development either but I take the good with the bad. All you see is bad and it's gone to the point that I feel you are truly neurotic about it. What is it with you anyways? Did a Darkfall dev run over your puppy or something?

     

    Others like Zorvan, Ghoul31, Kyleran and many more come into this forum and have negative views about Darkfall but they all also acknowledge the good points of Darkfall as well. You don't, you see only bad which tells me that you're either a neurotic crackpot or someone with an agenda. They also start threads or give comments about their concerns about the game in an intelligent coherent manner acknowledging the other side's viewpoint and offer their own counter viewpoints. You just Bash, Bash, Bash refusing to even acknowledge that there is a counter viewpoint and I for one have gotten sick to death of it. I mean seriously, what is this your 100th alt account? And you expect anyone to take anything you say seriously? Its laughable at best.

     

    If this topic was being argued by anyone but you I may have actually debated it even if I do think its a null issue but because it is you it is not to be taken seriously and is easily dismissed.
