I've been playing with Yew and it's pretty fun. Game is pretty intense and huge some things need to still be worked out but probably most fun i had in a while in any MMO.

I am playing

Elrina Sannes in game and member of Dogma some europa guild .Most members new to this kind of games so it is pretty fanny to see how guild evolve from Neutral to guild that is in war now already because of ganking .

How is going with yew .Maybe I need to visit Yew City and bring some ale

If anyone want add me as friend .Would like to stay in touch with you guys.Game is good just need good group to team up.

What is your in game name Nethru and where is Yew City ?

So how is it so far? I'm kind of undecided on getting it right now mainly because I am dubious as to how fun the combat is really going to be. They have billed it as this ultimate skill game but from videos I have seen it looks incredibly simple. Having to aim does not equal challenge to anyone who is decent at fps games. My other point of concern is the fact that they really do not seem to have their shit together, so it would seem wise to wait a few months before diving in.

Arggg I want to play Darkfall soooo badly. I heard mostly no, but I need other opinions. I got a Pent 4 3.00 ghz, 2.23 gb RAM and RADEON 700x series. Do you think I can play? If not, what is the easiest/cheapest way to upgrade so I can play?

I really don't think the game is going to require as good of a computer as most people think. The graphics aren't very technically impressive. I'm not familiar with that graphics card but I think your cpu/ram would be okay.

Found this in a darkfall news post:

The initial system requirements for Darkfall are as follows:
Operating System: Windows XP, Vista
Processor: 2.5GHz Pentium 4, or equivalent
RAM: 1GB for Windows XP, 2GB for Windows Vista
Graphics Card: 128MB PixelShader 2.0 support
Hard Drive Space: 12 GB Free Space Minimum

FYI I was able to play Age of Conan on a p4 2.8ghz, 1gb ram, geforce 7800gs. So if your graphics card is comparable, which I am not really sure if it is, then you should be able to play DF.

At any rate you might want to upgrade anyways for more eye candy and/or frames. If you do upgrade it would probably be wise to get a whole new computer as p4s are ancient technology these days and use a different socket type than newer processors(meaning you need a new motherboard), also chances are your ram is pretty slow and likely would not be compatible with a new mobo anyways. Also graphics card prices are WAY down right now due to ATIs new lineup giving nvidia a serious run for its money. I would recommend a radeon 4850 or 4870 as the best bang/buck right now (or a geforce 9800gtx or so) and that should be able to handle just about anything you throw at it. You can build a decent core2duo comp for pretty cheap these days.

DF is interesting game but start was not good .

First few days due to Synch bug many guilds exploited it and got a lot of gold to start City /train skills.

Game is stable for now and devs working really hard to keep it so.Most players just zerg/gank and dry loot .Starting area is crowded and need good steal kill skills if you want to get some starting gold.We have starting quests like kill 4 goblins/10 goblins and so to get some starting stuff.

AI of mobs is fun and I really like it.PvP is interesting as you need to think where you going to hit,where from sound of magic spells or melee is coming,never turn your back to enemy ... look spot to hide ,crouch ..

There is no hiding/stealth in game but you can walk silent and use shadow to make ambush.Everything cost gold.Gold is not hard to get but you must be fast looter

Cities are cool idea but I yet have to own one so no idea how it really work.Crafting is klicking,klicking and crapal tonnel before you know.People are busy making macros but be aware there is no AFK macroing allowed .AV will ban people who macro inside safe guarded zones .

Min punt is no chat bubbles or /say in game.So when you see player in game and try RP only way is /tell or use publick chat .Hope they will change that.Right now there is no Role play community or Factions. Dwarves killing dwarves without any reason and most dwarves are just crafters.Humans and Elves are race alliance but boy most players just make you go gray and kill without getting any penalties.

Mahrims/orcs is second race ally and I see orcs attcking Cities and farming noobs .

Alfar is attckable by all races.


No player houses in game yet,most NPC Cities are empty ,no recall like in UO ,no gate .. not easy to team up if you in other area.It took me 2 days and many deads ,client crashes to meet my mates at human area as I started as dwarf.It took us 2 hours to move from human area to elven area ..
Now most of us are humans and stay in group .


You cannot steal out of player bags or drop anything on ground.So no disarm/thief for tal.For healing most players drink pots and use mage staff .Healing like we had in UO is higher magery level and do not see people using it yet.

With problems with pre-orders and lack of guild mates in game,exploits .. first impression of game is still positive as long as you like sandbox game.Most players who leave game are ex wow or VG /EQ players.

Arhm if you have 50 euro just buy it and play .If not wait for month or two until they fix all stuff.

I think the game is pretty fun. They need to just open up to everyone and stop the 1k users per day crap. Yew city is on the Ice Island right dead in the center city. We are allied with LoD. Kinda funny RP guild allied with a PK guild but we protect each other on the island. My dudes name is Krigor Deathbinder.

oh yeah Boz. Your computer is good enough to play it.

well you can just turn settings down so you don't have bad FPS. As for new shard doubtfull. I don't even know if they will release a NA server.

Once they create a North America shard, we should really jump into this and get organized. I am going to get some more RAM on my comp, I guess my video card is good enough. Do they have any plans on adding more shards soon? Or maybe a PvP or RP/PvP server?

There is no eta when and of they will release in usa so just get in game .I heard connection is good from usa.

I get average 120 ping from East Coast so it's not bad.

From what I hear Darkfall won't have a North American server until later this summer. I think in the meantime I might download AI.

I am in Yew too and I can tell one thing ..action never stop.

There is always war or need for resources or gold to prepare for war.Large alliances are formed ,players are moving from one side of server to other to help each other.
Serious problem is frame drop during large sieges and game crash .Just imagine epic fights between 200 players or last one was 400.Impossible to play so 80% crash .
Cities can be taken/attcked in off hours and that is what most alliances use now.That sucks but action never stop.


Nethru get your buts in game
