(fucking upload the 8 gigs so it doesn't slow everyone with invites, not just the PATCHIER)
New Patch or here for link
------------------------------
We have fixed most of the problems people had with the patching
process. You should all get decent patching speeds now.
A new patch has been released.
We've reset the patch system and done some optimization on the dataset.
The complete dataset has been reduced to around 8 GB in this patch
instead of 20 GB as it was before.
We've gone up several build numbers since the last patch, and the
characters have been wiped.

[*] Updates to the world
LEAKREADER2
"General question to any leaker.
Question, are stats(dex,vit,str...) Fixed or do they improve when you use skills?
This and if stats improve how fast do they improve, and to what extent(like from 25 to 100)."
Stats go up as you use things related to the stats, as far as I can tell. They go up at a reasonable pace and they increase fractionally.
"I dont see why people in a pvp game would really give a shit how long it takes to cross the game world. WHO GIVES A SHIT!If anything make the world smaller for more pvp action. This isnt a RP game."
I hear that it takes 2.5 hours to walk across the game world. The only thing I know for sure is that it takes 30-40 minutes to sprint between capital cities, as I have tested that personally. The world is more than big enough to get off the grid.
"QUESTION: What about the forest? How does it look like? Is it dense? With bushes, small, large trees? Or just one tree here, one tree there...
Noone said a thing about forest... :("
The pine forests look like real pine forests. There are all kinds of different landscapes. Swamps, Blasted lands, Desert, Frozen, Broadleaf and Pine Forests. Most of which have some fantasy or alien like plants or rocks as well.
"With clans/clanadministration, ships, sieging enabled how can testers have the feeling not much is turned on ?"
As I said before, I could only answer what I had experienced first hand, otherwise I said that I did not see it yet. There have been plenty of wipes and there was a small population before. So while perhaps some others have seen this stuff and don't talk about it, I still have not. The things I said were off, were off. That was the population of dungeons and some outdoor spawn areas. Maybe that will be on as well with this new build. Very possible.
The devs and some other beta testers do not appreciate any leaks at all. With all due repect, I do not feel bad leaking some positive and counter information to the negative leaks that were already out. They certainly were not going to say anything about it, and I do not know if they realized how many people didn't even believe their game existed before these leaks started. Even now some people still think this is like Dark and Light or Dawn. Which it is not. This is a very good and solid game.
As for the current status, we are still waiting for the game servers to come up and most people I imagine are still patching. The patching started very slow but seems to be speeding up now. The new patch screen and icon looks very polished and is what you would expect from a professional company. Unlike their earlier temporary login screen.
Additionally, many new testers have been let in, and it sounds like they are going to keep letting in more and more people as they are able to. Hopefully the game servers will be up very soon. -leakreader2

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 253 of 253It's a "shell of a game", is it? Sounds great, I'll be looking forward to another MMO where players can actually affect the world. EVE would be a "shell of a game" too if it had no players, because it's the players that fill in the gaps. As long as it's actually complete, with the promised features in and working.
Well i opened up the log in box just to stare at it a while and it promted a download and it installed "lobby". Excitement over, back to staring.
Server seems to be online again.
http://www.eu1.darkfallonline.com/news/
I have the client, and I'm not in beta.
Unless this is the patcher, haha.

@sean
The patcher for the game has been leaked. Here's the link to the new one. http://www.eu1.darkfallonline.com/dl/Darkfall_1025.exe
You can download and install the patcher but you can't download the client unless you have a beta account so it's a little bit useless at this point.
@br00tal
That is just the patcher. Once you login you would download the 8 gig client.
Damn this screenshot is awesome.... after seeing this and all the others the one thing that i know will be great is the worl and the landscapes. Even if darkfall did fail (which i hope it doesnt) i think someone would see the devs vision and hopefully a bigger company will do a joint venture with them and they can get something else out with alot more funding behind it.
Yeah I also downloaded the patcher/launcher. No beta access sadly.
Hopefully they let more people in soon. Either that or maybe someone can bruteforce and admin acct
This is a "review" from a confirmed beta player. He has only played the game briefly but this is his impressions. I was to lazy to translate it my self so i used google translator.
At the beginning of the game and you get to choose race. Once you have chosen race, it is the ordinary, to choose faces, etc. However, it seems not skin tone work yet. Still, really nice charactercustomisation.
I chose the man and chose a proper Viking look. Afterwards you get to choose Starter city. Could choose 3 cities around sanguine (human capital) and I chose some city called something with Monk.
The city was fullsmockad with players, so I doubt that there are few who can beta test.
When I was well inside, I was cruelly confused. Could not do a damn. Press the right mouse button and then came the mouse pointer up with a lot of menus. Paper Doll picked up where I could put weapons and Backpack where a beginner was the host, named Leaf Blade (or reach such). "Fat" I thought, and took my gun. Press "R" so that nature took up arms, it became a third-person view and then it was PAAAAAARTAY!
Attacked the next time I saw a bunch of times. The character that I attacked lost a bloody pulp HP but then I saw the large text on the screen where the stog I become "Rogue," and then began a watchtower to attack me with lightning. I ran as fast my legs dried out of the city.
Out there so I saw a bunch of buildings, and I ran there. "Thump!" (or reach sånt) said it and then I saw that an arrow stuck out of my character sexy belly. I looked confused a little further away and saw where a Goblin Scout, which I then ran up and killed. Happiness was total. I pressed the 'R' and then 'F' (Use button) on the grave stone. There was a better Starter host, 5 gold and a bow. Tragically, so while I was in the loota so another character and killed me. Were sorry in the eye and respawnade light tower, now do not attack me.
I talked with other beta testers via ventrilo while all this happened and now, we decided to collect us light clan stone and form a group. To create a group, go near any, addressed siktet against him / her and press "G". Does he / she will call karaktärens face + health, mana and staminabar forward. As in WoW. The difference is that here you can move around it.
Shortly after we made a team so we agreed that we would be out and kill Goblins, to obtain EQ but just when we all went outside the city so the server down. We are waiting for it to be posted again.
The only negative thing I have to say is that the ping is completely to hell. Sometimes it was around 60 but then you went and began to beat on things as it went up to the 5k. This should be improved when the regular servers released (I HOPE!).
@ anton thanks for that persons review
i love reading botched english so it was funny and informative
the 60 ping to 5k ping makes me think of hardware configuration and bad optimization not server stability...
Tabula Rasa wasn't optimized for my processor and woulkd only use 1 processor. If there was animations on my screen my ping would sky rocket and become unplayable because it couldn't render what was happening because it was trying to use more resources than possible.
Seeing how there obviously is quite a few people here who actually have been able to get a beta invite I just have to ask if anyone is done trying the game and would like to trade it for something? send me a mail at bobby.larsson(at)gmail.com if so
Forums, Patcher, Server..
Everything is down right now..
you mite want to remove that screenshot its gives out WWAY to much info. sadly the devs probly seen it expect that person to be kicke dout of beta
@bobby
I dont think thats going to happen
This game is doo doo.
The graphics are barely any better than Shadowbane.. and the world is just as empty. There's nothing to do.
I dunno what they were doing for 7 years but if it took them this long to build this then they need to go into another business.
Ya'll know why they got the NDA still up? And they're not letting in everybody to test?
Because they would get fried. The game is terrible.
Milk might be downloading the small updates they give for the Patcher itslef. You don't have to be logged in to get those. The actual game patch you have to log in Im told.
If someone doesn't want to play their Darkfall account that got into beta, could you please send your account info to my email address please? peterpoisonn@gmail.com
I was never part of any beta but this is one that I wanted to join the most. Someone please help me.
@ForginBloodclaw -
Nice attempt at a troll, all in all, it fucking failed.
@Peter -
No chance!
@ ForginBloodclaw
Nice Troll.
Grow up.
The servers came up after they had applied a patch (We're now at build 103).
They were up for like 20 minutes, before they went down again. Pings weren't good.
We have received no more information than that. We don't know what caused it.
I suspect it's either: 1. The patch they implemented was buggy. 2. The game worked fine yesterday but not that many people were online then, could the problem be because of bad optimization of the servers? I'm guessing there were like 500 ppl online maybe a bit more when they went down. 3. Their game servers are also getting ddosed (probably not).
I wanna play :(
I'm no "fanboi" of Darkfall, but I tend not to believe most of the overly negative comments that spring up from time to time. Sheerly because, as opposed to people who seem to have actually tested it, they seem incapable of ever offering any solid examples of what they're saying. Most leaks go into fairly good detail about features, the system, how stuff works, etc. But these guys are just like, "omg sucks, nothing to do. BYE LOZRS!!!".
Come up with something more substantial than that, and people may listen to you. We don't want to hear your opinion; we want ACTUAL information.
@All other leakers, thanks for what you do, it gives everyone a better idea of where the game is currently at, and the progress being made on it.
Can you please stop with the "send me the beta key please" bs?
You're not going to get it, the only thing you'll get is viagra advertisment.
Btw, just noticed, Brother Justin is in the beta. >_<
Can any beta testers confirm that the patcher is not working??
The new UI definitely looks better.
Has anyone tried:
Login: Brothen
Password: Justin
in the Patcher? Lol
Aventurine is only inviting 10 people from every clan to join the supposedly "free trial".
By the way, what did Tasos mean when he said that the pre-orders would allow you to try the game earlier... Pre-orders will be available mid-february... THE FUCKING GAME IS BEING RELEASED FEBRUARY 25!
I hate how they're setting this all up. Coming from a game not many people know (Only a couple hundred thousand), they're still only selecting such few people to test!
hey forgin your such a fake.. becasue the forgin i talked to liked the game i think ill double check later
trolsl shouldnt use the leak screenshot names to try frame people or prove hes in beta
For all you people asking for beta accounts and posting your emails I'm going to submit them to every porn site and freelaptopcomputer site I can find. You're all retarded
I expect we will see them all in game begging for gold in a few weeks.
@ Tan
You claim to have played AC1 for 4 years but you comment on low server pops that is a recent thing. Its obvious you played AC1 after all macros were in and everything was logged into databases in "cheater" sites...
If you played AC1 from the start or beta you would know it started off very much the same as DFO seems to be...
Go back to WOW dude...
Worth a try:
needtehbetas34@live.com
If you pull through thanks :P
peterpoisonn@gmail.com PLEASE
I'm going to email bomb all the emails posted here.
Go ahead Milk Fox, I get a shit load of junk mail to that account anyway. Don't think anything you send me would make it any worse. Oh btw you're a prick & I hope you die a horrible death. XOXO
ROFL @ ppl posting emails here...

Crim shut up you little begger. You're worse than the noobs that hang around town begging for gold.
Milky Fag,
Ha you're such a 2 year old. Someone in the previous post said their guild had some extra keys and asked for an email address. Do you really think i care that you bombed my email address? Anyway I'm going out for the night, so enjoy bombing my box some more and later you can masturbate using your own tears as lube before you fall asleep alone. XOXO

This game is doo doo.
The graphics are barely any bette than Shadowbane and the world is just as empty and boring.
wana let me try then since you despise the game?
Lol its true milkfox leaked loads of shit from aoc beta.
people kept saying he'd been kicked but he kept posting videos.
my forumfall account is 07, I've tryed to stop myself trolling there because I do want to get into beta. but have got a couple of threads locks and definatly displayed some lack of faith in the holy Tasos. I prefer the skeptics who actually think on the mmorpg.com forums than the moronic cult like fanboys on forumfall, so not very active there.
thanks for the beta impressions.
even tranopez. yes its VERY negative but you guys flaming him are MORONS, if you dont want unbias impressions GTFO of here and go back to the official site and hear the official PR and marketing friendly bullshit.
