Well, sorry for taking so long to update this blog. I had big ambitions to make this a daily thing, but in my heart I knew I would never be able to pull it off. However, I do love writing, and it is a nice place to keep some well keep memories.
Last I wrote we were doing the bank heist. We haven't done it in ages, and I think it's because people have caught on or...to be honest, I am not sure why we haven't. I guess we have better things to do these days, like going around and killing people. The only problem with the bank heist trick is that we first have to find a buyer/seller that has enough of something to make it worth while, then the person also has to agree to travel to that particular city. Sometimes, it can take like 30-45 minutes of traveling. So finding a buyer then the added traveling time, we sometimes wait doing nothing for over an hour. So basically, in that time frame we could have a wandering group of guys PKing people and taking their gear and items, which is more fun and perhaps equal on loot. Oh well, it was absolutely hilarious when we were doing it. We were all laughing our asses off on vent (a program where people can talk over the internet with mics).
One of the members of the guild made a few videos. His selection of music is questionable (recommended to watch with the sound off):
Anyways, since those videos were made, other things have been going on. I'll just write about one incident.
Hmm...let's see, so yeah, we are just basically a small little guild of about 30 people. We have like 8-12 people on at times, so we can't do too much, but what we lack in number we make up in skill and tactics. So for example, a group of us were riding around on our mounts looking to pk people. We then heard that two alliances were going to fight over a hamlet (a very small town in the game) in about 2 hours. So we got the location of the hamlet and headed there. It was in the middle of a forest and we noticed there were giant trees surrounding the hamlet. Most of the guild members had a spell called "launch" which effectively launches you up in the air. We launched ourselves up into the tree tops and waited for the chaos.
We waited for about 45 minutes and then the fun began. The defenders came first, which were about 50 or so and we told them we would help them out. Then the time for the siege started and the attackers arrived, which numbered about 80-100. We got out our bows and staffs (to use magic) and rained down our terror on them. A few of them also had the spell launch, but we were so high up (we did a few launches to get to our spots) that they couldn't reach us. Unfortunately, the defenders got destroyed amazingly fast and we were left all alone (about 8 of us) to defend off about 80 people. Eventually, they surrounded the tree and started attacking us on all sides with arrows and magic. Also, a few of them found their ways up on a tree branch next to our tree so they could attack us on an even level. We called the fight and jumped off and ran into the water. Unfortunately, since my graphics card basically sucks (Nvidia 8700) and my ping is already god awful, I was one of the two guys that died to a hail of their arrows and magic.
Hmm...there were some other interesting fights, but this blog is already too long. Anyways, so far I haven't had a chance to play for a week or so because of personal issues of trying to find a new job and moving, so it's doubtful I will have any news of Darkfall for a few weeks.
So far the game is ok. I think it has massive potential, as I always thought; however, there are some issues that I am unsure if the devs will address. The world is utterly stunning, and streamless. However...well I don't want to get into all the details of it's issues, but I guess one glaring one is the problem of zerging, and how the world is basically changing into 3 big alliances ruling the game world. It reminds me of some of the servers on Shadowbane where it was basically 2 alliances...so in that regard DFO fails.
