Played it....quit...came back...realized the graphics are terrible, the game is laggy and the world is an empty bore except for hackers and griefers. Even with the changes I saw no reason to keep going. Another rip-off bore fest IMHO.
Don't agree with the AOC thing, but I was pleasantly surprised by DF's graphics. I personally think the world could use ambient sound effects such as birds, rustling leaves, rivers etc. With such a huge beautiful world it seems such a shame that it is utterly silent.
Oh ya and this thread is such a weak troll, please "come again!"

Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

To each his own... hope you find what you are looking for.
I actually rather like the look/style of DF's graphics.
Can't quite put a finger on it... It "feels" rather like Morrowind to me in terms of overall look and style, only a bit 'grittier". I know they're updating the graphics and are re-doing character models, etc... So that should bring it up a notch or two, but I think it looks fine now - at least in terms of the style they went for.
I do agree there's an awful lot of wasted space in the game world, though, and it does feel a bit barren in-between populated spots... It also seems there's a lot of lore that can be better utilized and implemented in the game world itself in some way.

I feel exactly the same with the Morrowind example. Ironically I like Morrowind style and graphics more than Oblivion and I feel the same way when it comes to DF vs MO. MO is pretty but I question its diversity and creativity in world design.
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.
Rather than obey the orders of the arrogant OP... perhaps you should just download the demo and try it for yourself.
I did, and i didn't care for the game. But I certianly don't need someone to tell me not to even try it. Lots of people like the game, maybe you'll be one of them.

Graphics aren't bad, it is either a taste issue or you need a new PC.
Laggy, you are either in the wrong country or need a better connection. My ping is rarely over 100 and I am not that close to the server.
Hackers, I can tell you play the game. Griefers maybe some but you would have to go out of your way to not be able to avoid them.
Empty - there plenty to do guess you really didn't play the game, did you?

Hey there head. Thanks for letting us know this. I was a little worried that you might enjoy the game, but now I know this isnt the case. I feel better now, knowing this.

MO looks nice in some places... awful in others. Very inconsistent in terms of "quality" in my opinion.
It also benefits, and at the same time, suffers, from being very clearly built on Unreal 3 tech, in that if you've played Unreal Tournament 3, or Gears of War or just about any other game built off Unreal Engine 3 tech... it *looks* like it. Its rendering engine has a very distinct look to it. You can even pick up a bit of it in TERA Online, which is also using Unreal Engine 3.
What I guess I'm getting at is that there's some nice stuff I've seen in MO, but I think the engine does more to establish that game's look than the artists do.... which is unfortunate.

I find the world graphics great. I love the art and its uniqueness. Once you up the settings and get antialiasing to work the game is truely beautiful. At first I didn't care for it that much, but I guess it grows on you. Today I love it. But I agree that the characters gfx and animations need a little more work (they have already posted shots of the new chars, its coming).
I get no lag, I am always at around 50ms.
I agree that some places feel empty. Fortunately, the new wildlife they have added is making thoses areas feel less static.

I agree 100% on the good graphics and the lack of ambient sounds issue.
While I wouldn't say the graphics are fantastic, they definetly ain't bad. A lot of amtosphere, especially at sunset/sunrise.
I agree that the sounds are lacking unfortunately. And yes, it is a bit empty, but isn't that typical for a sandbox ? SWG is fairly empty, even at it's peak, at least some of the planets. UO is a bit better, but without the housing it would be pretty empty.
Heck, what is Eve? In a large galaxy of course there isn't "much".
So not sure if "emptiness" is a valid thing to reason around in a sandbox. Amount of players is o/c a different matter.
Graphics are fine. Indie enthusuasts dont rank their average graphics as a deal-breaker, just the way it is.
However, all-race-clans was a joke, there isnt any semblance of worthy reputation system that matters, there isnt anything personally attainable where a single-player could establish their little ecosystem in this game, let alone small group that can contribute to a larger ecosystem, weapons, armor and character skill simportance has been diminshed, and that combined with the welfare state of the game where introductory characters are catapulted to a position where vet characters earned through engaging within the tools, resources and time-input of game-play dwindles this game to the compound of a rudimentary third-person shooter.
It is not possible to make a game like DFO and have it look like AoC. In that case DFO would also have to be instanced. You could say that you like the art better since that is a matter of taste but AoC have better effects, better made backgrounds and higher polygon count.
DFO is not made to look pretty, some games are. That doesn't mean that it sucks or anything.
As for the OP: While you didn't like DFO other people do. So either write: I didn't like DFO, not DFO sucks. Be also free to give it a low score here but don't start troll threads without any point.
At lkeast write what you think the company should do to make the game better or something constructive, and this doesn't just go for this game but for all.

Smashing your face against the PVE grindstone for 2 months only to find out that there is hardly anyone out there to kill is a harsh wake up call, thats for sure.

I'm currently on a break from this game but man I never had any sort of problem finding other players. I'm not saying the population was/is bustling, but it certainly wasn't empty in "my part of town". For the record my character is Mahirim, so maybe my experience differed greatly from yours.

I never get killed by a player unless I go looking for other players specifically. And that usually means starter areas where most players have safety timers, or clan cities where most fights are 1v2+. Actually I don't think I have ever encountered an enemy player "in the wild." I recently started taking villages, and I have seen just 1 PK in all of my village-taking adventures (all 6 of them). Even he was just a miner. Taking all these villages by myself has really opened my eyes to how much people don't want to leave their clan cities.

I think the graphics are amazing, and the world is lush. I can actually enjoy traveling and chilling with friends just admiring the world.
Hackers are practically a thing of the past, now they have their "scanning" system in... No idea how it works, I believe it sends them a screenshot of the guys screen they scan every few seconds. Speedhackers were gone long ago (well, very rare. seen people do it when they quit, etc) , radar hackers are gone too.
World empty? Well, i've almost always disagreed with that statement. But that's because I know where to find people. But right now, at this time? The world is booming, honestly. And the playerbase is only going to increase with the balance patch, upcoming expansion, Darkfall 2010, reduced price, plans to go retail such as Steam and boxed copies (which apparently already exist in greece)..
These are good times for Darkfall.
Sounds like you got ganked a few times and are butthurt.

DF has better graphics than AoC...far better

The only thing I didn't like about the graphics was the limited draw-distance and the transition between some areas could have been done a lot better.

There is a FREE trial:
Free which mean just that 14 days of it and 24 hours of that you cannot be hurt by other players:
It's a great game even if it is PvP. Crafters will love this game as well.
There is a ton of things to do if you look for them, But if your lazy forget it. Like any good game everything takes time.
TRY the trial yourself . I have seen some great games get bashed by some that have no clue what someone else likes:
Are you high on drugs?

Graphics really don't matter in a game like this. The gameplay is far more important... at least for me.
That being said, I have always thought Darkfalls graphics were fine. They have their own unique flavor to them that I enjoy.
