This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What is Darkfall: New Dawn?
Darkfall: New Dawn (DND) is an FPS-MMORPG set in the high-fantasy, vast, un-instanced world of Agon. The Darkfall franchise was originally launched by Aventurine Studios (a totally different development team) in 2009, with Darkfall Online. Aventurine then morphed it into the often-criticised Darkfall: Unholy Wars, and struggled to return that game to Darkfall's glory days of 2009-2012.

It's the only game around that's got high-skilled FPS PvP, massive clan and alliance warfare, politics, war-mongering, spying, diplomacy, crafting, trading and PvE – all in the one place. The game breeds a social nature.

The graphics might look outdated now, but the gameplay remains superb. The changes its new developers Ub3rgames have brought to the game have already gone a long way.

At its simplest, Darkfall is:

Full loot
Player-skill-based PvP/PvE
Massively open world
Regional control

MMORPG where individual and clan reputation matter.




So what's changed from the original Darkfall game?

Some highlights that are in for launch:

  • Localisation – banking and marketplaces will be local but you will have global access to your gold (Think EVE Online)
  • Armour traits – different armour types provide different potencies, and you can mix and match to suit your own playstyle
  • Titles – you can choose how you want to specialise in the available skills with up to 5 different titles (think of this like a skills soft cap/class system)
  • Meaningful alignment – going red (Bad) is a choice, but one that will make things much harder for those who dare kill their own kind, risk vs reward!
  • Spawn scaling – work together (even with people you don't know) to get more loot and XP: mobs get harder and give better gains/loot when you bring more people.
  • No fast travel – keeping the world localised, encouraging trade and the need to defend local, specialised resources. Control your own territory or encroach on your neighbours!
  • Village control points – 'king of the hill' style village captures to gain your clan much needed clan meditation points, gold and local resources – and the same for you too!
  • PvP has completely changed – gone is the old DFO meta where you needed to level up all skills to be viable. In come reactive blocking, weapons that are all useful (even the one-handed weapons and shield combos), encumbrance and magnitude greatly affecting archery, spell powers and damage.
  • Mount inventories – to help you carry your gear, loot and wares
  • Dynamic harvesting – the further you are from safety, the better drops you'll be getting

So much more than can be listed here!

Has anyone played the original DFO or DFUW? This is a successor to those games. Very similar to UO or AC. The game looks pretty solid so far :)
