its a great way to bring alot of new players into the darkfall world and when they are ready they can come to the PvP server and start a new character. never make an option to transfer from PvE to PvP.

And that's exactly the reason why DF:UW will fail the same way as DF1.
A meaningless gankfest with FPS-combat.... I'd rather play any other FPS where there's no monthly subscription.
Sorry to burst your bubble but DF1 did not fail it is stil going. People that seem to want to change the ruleset of DF just don't get we aren't looking for millions of players not even hundreds of thousands just.....thousands of like minded individuals that want to play in a harsh environment where it takes actual skill to survive and thrive.
We like our niche game, aren't looking to make bazillions of dollars just a ffa full loot niche game.
LOL
I'm telling you, when this game releases there will be SOOOOOO much people crying and raging...
Exactly right, Planetside 2 is a good example of a subless MMOFPS.
I know a ton of people that quit DF purely on the basis of the PvP mechanics, even an Eve online type system would work.

Firefall would be another one
The Devs for the game are hardcore PvPers themselves, who are focusing on a niche market. In other words: they don't want to make a game for you. Seriously, they understand there are other games for that.
everyone understands what u mean, its just not posible in this game ...nor would it be fn at all- if ur not playing it for the PVP then i suggest to find another game (not trying to sound rude here) ...its just this game is made ALL ABOUT pvp ----when u farm for stuff its almost 100% chance u will get jumped and need to fight off the attacker, its what make it fun, knowing at any moment u could be attacked ---without that risk i honestly would not play this game (not to mention there isnt enough pve to keep people just doing pve) ---
as i said before , just take my word ...that mind set is not for this game
The base of the game is deisgned around player conflict, competition and risk. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I have to thank Adventurine for sticking to their guns and not giving to the easy mode Adventure Daycare masses.
The game is design for a often overlooked niche market and I hope enough of us step up and subscribe long enough for them to at least make some money after all the hard work.
Asking for a Darkfall PvE server makes baby jesus cry.
While the PvE combat/AI is probably the best in the MMO sphere, Darkfall really doesn't work without PvP. So much of the game's central focus and mechanics revolve around PvP, that if it were removed, the game would fall to pieces.
I PvE in Darkfall more than I PvP, and other than the AI, what makes PvE interesting is the constant threat of conflict.
Because your actions as player having a persistant non scripted impact on the game world is meaningless. ok.
Why you people even bother to come on sandbox game forums when you cant seem to grasp the very basics of why people like sandboxes I cant understand. There is a plethora of themepark titles relevant to your interests, go there and leave us with our interest.
Look at EvE Online. The games is all about player-conflict aswell, yet they manage to provide somewhat safe content for the carebears without breaking their game.
Quiet contrary. All these carebears are needed to drive the games economy actually, and feed the warmachines.
yet eve and darkfall are not alike in many many ways---- as someone else pointed out above . there are way to many games on the market right now that tend to the PVE side of games , or cater to the "carebears" ..the game WILL never have a pve server so there is really no use in argueing , but to ask for a game that is made one way be changed from its roots and what its designed to do should tell u ..THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU. . again not to sound rude ...but i dont go play RIFT/EVE/age of conan/wow /etc etc and hope they change the very founation of the game , cause when i start playing a game i know what its ment for (pve or pvp ) and i play it for that reason .
again , asking for a pve server is asking for a diffrent game all together. try df , if u dont like it i suggest u not hold ur breath for a PVE server :P
It will never happen.
Better security systems on the existing servers would be great though - as in more dynamic security, not "safer".
If they made a pve server no one would be left playing on the pvp shards.
Same thing happened with UO.
Believe it or not most people prefer to not get ganked while farming materials and skills.
Playing: Nothing
Looking forward to: Nothing
I dont get it. Why do you people want to make every game the same? You got 1000000000 PVE mmo's to choose from. Why do you have to ruin every game? Darkfall is the only PvP game in the market, lets not ruin it please.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
Years ago they could have went down a path with this game where a PVE server would have made sense. For a PVE server and PVE gameplay to make sense they would have had to add considerable amounts of non PVP focused and non PVP related sandbox content. Many would have enjoyed this without a doubt.
However. Just about every system in game needs PVP. Without PVP a lot of this game doesnt make sense, without the high risk activity of farming mobs for enchants, specific weapons to transmute, and sometimes resources in an enviroment where your going to get ganked if you stay too long...the game becomes a really boring farming game.
The game is set up in so many different ways that to a normal gamer, seem stupid. The field of view seems retarded, the loot system seems pointless, the fact that when you do just about anything it takes your focus away from your surroundings which enhances the risk to getting jumped just doesnt make sense.
Also...this is the ONLY game where sound is extremely important. Your going to hear the badguys comming before you see them, and vice versa, the noises your making is going to be what alerts someone on the prowl that theres someone else near.
IMO this sound aspect is brilliant in a game like this. When you hear something it makes sense to stop listen and try to figure out what race your hearing based on combat sounds, how the are fighting based on weapon or magic sounds....its fantastic.
So many of this games mechanics are based around creating a hardcore FFA pvp enviroment. It leads the game downa path where many of its mundane activites can be adrenaline inducing. Without the ffa pvp aspect, a lot of this game just isnt anything special.
^^^ This right here. I only wish there were more like minded devs who would create these types of games for us hardcore pvp'rs. It is a smaller market but most games now a days PVP is just a lacking afterthought. People who PVP don't usually care about PVE so why would we want a PVE server?
