I think I read somewhere that the day/night cycle is 4 hours.
Sounds a bit too short.. should be an odd number like 7 or 9, so it changes each day..
Well, its subject to change but: http://www.darkfallonline.com/faq/world.html
Quote: What about weather effects and day/night cycles?
Agon will be a very atmospheric and beautiful world complete with world physics that will surprise you. The weather effects will often be dramatic, and the day/night cycles will sometimes be accompanied with spectacular dawns and sunsets.
The exact time cycle is not set yet, but the current total night/day cycle is about four hours long. Expect realistic weather effects, such as rain, snow, wind blowing in the trees, wind blowing in the grass on the ground, thunder and lightning.

hm that sounds ok, as you could probably get to see a whole day cycle in a sitting of the game. Would prefer it to be the same as RL though.

That'd be cool, but honestly, not an intelligent idea.
People with restricted play times (like myself, I can only play like 2 hours around 23:00) would have to spend their entire game experience in the same moment of the day, and that gets tiring after a while. ---<---@ JackFalcord |

Yes, this is probably why they picked 4 hours. Its short enough for everybody to be able to experience both night and day in the game.
I watched the trailer for the game and it looks like massive ganking and no tactics, but I will try the game if it has a open beta during x-mas and beginning of January. ---

Originally by: Doug Dread Hopefully the developers of Darkfall will listen less to the whining of carebears to make things easier for them all the time - they got WoW and EVE (pretty much these days seeing as every patch is one new nerf for free pvp - not including that gay fleet warfare and 0.0 blob crap) and continually saturating games to cater to them may not help them in the long run. I know CCP was originally like this and caved over time and Darkfall devs could just as easily go down this road. However CCP is already toned down to carebear pressure - aventurine is still a virgin and can hopefully stay that way from carebears.
These are just some examples that come to mind.
Of course I am not really trying to crap on EVE in these comparisons - it should be expected that Darkfall will have advantages as it is a new game and EVE is almost a decade old. I am just so eager to try Darkfall and hope it will be my EVE replacement as I am getting more tired of the continuing carebearish patches that will drive pirates and evil from the game.

Non-consensual PvP in Eve can now only be found in 0.0 and sitting outside Jita 4-4 killing those war targets unlucky enough to undock with a blackscreen. See http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=928550 for further details.
Darkfall looks like it may be the game that Eve used to be, a harsh world where nowhere and no one is completely safe.
I would just plead with the carebears who have managed to ruin Eve to stay here and leave Darkfall to the rest of us. It would be a bit like Vegetarians going to a Steak restaurant and then complaining about them serving meat.

I have faith in darkfall for one reason.
What will keep it from being a gankfest is the fact that you can only have one character per account.
Games become a gankfest because the people who commit those crimes know they can be the bad guys for 20 minutes and when they're bored, they just pick their alts, farm stuff for their evil mains or just play the game in another fashion.
Darkfall will not allow this. If you're bad, you're bad. The only way to play an eternal gankfest is choosing alfar, which will anyway become a reverse-gankfest soon because they're KOS to the rest of the races (lol, it's gotta be harsh for those guys).
Soo, probably we will see all the immature gankers pick alfar and enjoy their portion of the game, while humans, dwarves, and elves, then orcs and furries to a lesser extent will probably team up and defend each other, leaving the occasional ganky clan/group apart, which will soon belong to the KOS list for everyone. Soon, they would realize they'd be better off playing alfar for that, and reroll. Back to starting point. ---<---@ JackFalcord |

Well, considering the vast different possibilities of character customization, friendly fire, manual aim/block, being able to physically block or tackle people due to collision detection, fighting ontop of mounts, ambushes, realistic archery etc.. I wouldn't be suprised if it was more tactical than EVE..
What I don't like with EVE atm is that people run/hide/avoid pvp too easily or the blob and you'll have to run/hide.. You can't warp out or cloak in Darkfall at least, and you'll be able to spot and avoid huge armies if you see them from far away..

I have some question Agony alliance in EVE is friendly with which powerblock ? (Goon, BoB, NC...) In which server u will go, English i bet ? Could I eventually join even if u dont Know me ingame ? Do you potentially accept French people ? ^^ I ask coz seems Darkfall really seems to be a "stay grouped or die" game and you seems to be the only entity from eve which will go in the game 'en masse'

Thanks Slade. And, mini moon, if you couldn't answer your question after reading that, we aren't aligned with any EVE power blocs. We've fought goons, NC, and bob. We're an equal killing opportunity group.
That aside, we're not going to be bring anything from EVE into Darkfall aside from the name/logo, and some of the EVE members. I can tell you right now that there will be people in our Darkfall clan who are in alliances we are currently fighting in EVE. We're just going to keep EVE talk completely separate from our Darkfall group and you're welcome to sign up and join us at http://darkfall.agony-empire.com

I'm not so sure... The race poll shows all 3 alignments to be close-ish: http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=9266
First pick is Humans, 2nd is Mahirim, 3rd is Alfar. I'd pick Alfar except Alfar look horrible to me. Just creepy or... idk. I wouldn't play one because I don't like how they look.
Anyway, don't forget that you can attack anyone and play the "pirate" regardless of your race.

I was thinking alfar due to being able to kill more people freely that way, but if I go with the mirdain I'll be able to play the same race in Darkfall and EVE.
All this '3 friendly races' crap sounds like it is for the carebears though. -

All this '3 friendly races' crap sounds like it is for the carebears though.
I don't think it will be noticeable that Humans/Mirdain/Dwarves are the carebear alignment. Remember that the population will not split 16.6% each race http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=9266 so Humans/Mirdain/Dwarves will probably have the most people, but...
(While they aren't truely indicative of how things will go, I'm going to reference polls from the darkfall forums to give you an idea of what the other forumfall posters think)
- as a Mirdain, my clan can wardec any other Humans/Dwarves/Mirdain clan.
- as a Mirdain, my clan can go outlaw and kill anyone and use Silvertown (the outlaw city) as our wretched hive of s****and villany. Quite a large percentage seem to be wanting to do this: http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=90920
http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=89698
- as a Mirdain, if I see another Human/Dwarf/Mirdain out in the world and not be worried about him, I may quickly find myself attacked, dead, and looted because I assumed he wouldn't attack me since he's of the same alignment.
- according to this map: http://www.bkbhq.com/index.php?pageid=dfmap each race is separated from other races it is aligned with such that you are surrounded by alignment enemies. In order for Dwarves to get to the Humans territory, they'd have to run through Ork territory, or through the center of Agon. In other words, Humans, Dwarves, and Mirdain will all be seperated from each other as will Orks and Mahirim.
- in EVE, people can stay in high sec and carebear to their heart's content in relative safety. In Darkfall, there is no high sec. Everywhere is low sec with less sentry guns and the only relative safe places are in cities but a carebear couldn't do much in Darkfall I think w/out going outside a city. My point here is that Darkfall will not last long for the many carebears and I believe Darkfall will certainly have less hardcore carebears than EVE does.
- Most Darkfall clans will probably be pvp oriented http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=67420
Once again, I recognize that polls only indicate the feelings of the forum fans and then only the ones that look at those polls. Still, at this time I don't think we'll associate any one alignment with say Caldari = carebears.

Edited by: Sever Aldaria on 18/12/2008 16:37:52 It looks like the NDA has finally been publicly broken for the first time with several screen shot releases:
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?view=forums&thread=216186&game=4&bhcp=1
[EDIT] they killed the thread. Screen shots here: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/MedRagery/DFndabreak.jpg

Look at the mini map and which direction the player is facing in different screen shots it looks like the dragon is flying circles and patterns around him blasting him from the sky!

Originally by: Sever Aldaria good points
But look at it from the other side. On signup you are asked:
Click 'A' if you would like to be able to attack 5/6ths of the population freely, at the cost of them all being able to attack you too.
Click 'B' if you are ok with only being able to attack 1/2, so you can have more friendly/neutral characters around you.
Of course the population won't split evenly as you say, but you get the idea, there's the PvP option and the carebear option (and the middle option which I left out). -

I disagree because either alignment that has more than one race are separated from each other. So each race is surrounded by enemies. If you want the most targets, you only have to go either to your left or right and hunt around in that race's territory. And again, because there will be a lot of outlaws which will have their own outlaw city, there's no immunity from other people of your race. Its just like low sec in EVE. So while one alignment may be able to attack more races without alignment repercussions, I don't think it will matter enough. I think you'll see plenty of pvp no matter which alignment you choose and the carebear focus will not be on random characters named xkbsjeqpf like in high sec EVE because they won't be able to survive on their own very well. Rather, I think the majority of carebears will be in large alliances just like in EVE and those alliances may have inter-alignment NAPs. I know of at least 2 large alliances on the darkfall forums which are of different alliances but are friendly to each other.
Once again, you can attack anyone freely.

Darkfall releases with digital download (like EVE) on January 22 just about 2 weeks from now. No word yet on an open beta. Most suspect a one week or a weekend open beta for stress testing. beta leakers say those that liked Ultima Online will love Darkfall Online.

@ Arianhod
We decided to go with the Humans/Mirdain/Dwarves alignment to give people the most options with choosing what race to play. This means, for now, we won't allow Orks, Mahirim, or Alfar.
@ Gnomes Rock
A Clan can have all races if they wish, but it creates complications with clan management. For one, if your clan occupies a city/outpost ect. you can only have one race of npc guards. So if you hire say Human npc guards, it doesn't matter if you're in clan or not, if you're an Alfar or Mahirim or Ork then you're going to be attacked by them. So it just makes things harder on you.
P.S. Alfar look too emo/creepy for me. Not like, "Ah! They're scary!" but like "Ah! What the hell were you artists thinking when you designed Alfar?"
