hello,welcome www.idarkfallgold.com
darkfall has many problems, so it should be fixed asap.
There are quite a few things you should also do before a NA release and advertising.
PvE
Fix PvE by increasing the number of mobs found outside of starter areas and reduce the HP of them drastically. You should also make it so that all items found on mobs have 100% durability 100% of the time but at a reduced overall durability. This does not include high end mobs for late game.
Resources
You also need to add some random rare nodes outside of clan cities, random mines, stone quarries, farms, ect. and add larger nodes with increased ore, wood, and stone out put in the wilderness… Give people an incentive to go out and farm in the wilderness, make it so you have Large Metal nodes and Large Trees out in the wilderness providing three ore/wood per hit, instead of one.
Wilderness Banks
Put some wilderness banks more sporadically around the world. Make some banks near chaos stones not protected by towers so reds can gear up after they die and reduce down time.
Alignment System
Rethink the flagging system… Make it so you go gray for 20-30 seconds when you hit someone, taking away the ability for people to just hit you and wait 10 seconds by the time you get to them they’re already blue and just repeating it. If a new player hits someone and turns gray they can easily run for 20-30 seconds and get away. After you kill someone make it so you stay red for at least two hours to prevent them from just killing a couple reds and going right back to grieving others. You could also make it so that there is no -100 to +10 alignment system and go the way of others and just making it a certain time period so that people don’t have to remake every time they go red for killing one person who was stealing their loot or just messing with them for an extended amount of time… This of course would have to be play time only, they can’t just log out and wait.
Forum
You guys should really scrap these forums and the website and create new ones in their place. You will find that having an out dated site and a forum full of people trolling will push quite a few people away from the game. You should also be a lot more hardcore about deleting troll/hate threads, you are allowing one person to potentially sway 5+ people from buying the game by reading one thread. You need to add a newcomers section to the forum like you had before. You will have a lot of new people who haven’t heard about the game yet, and if you let them dive into advanced discussion you might turn them off of the game instantly. You should make a guide readily available on the main site and on the forums, and link players too it after buying the game. You could also make it so people can register their Game Account to their Forum name which would give them a Subscribing Player title below their name, or a One Subscribing Player below their name. This would prevent a lot of unreliable flame post coming from people who have never played the game.
Exploits/Cheating/Hacking
You should also try as best you can to fix exploits, cheating, and hacking. People will find this a huge turn off like they did when EU was released. You lost quite a bit of people due to these things.
Skill Gaining
It would also be a good idea to reduce the skill gains from attacking other players by 50% and increase the skill gain on monsters by 200% from the current. Doing this will increase the amount of people out in the world, thus increasing PvP and experience.
Clan City Towers
Remove the clan city towers, one of the most fun things to do in darkfall is sneak around clan cities and kill afk macros. You have completely taken away one of the real PvP aspects of the game by making it impossible to have a small raid on a enemies city.
Clanstone Recall
I know a lot of you might not like this one but it should be introduced to help travel across the huge world and aollow players to meet other people other then the ones in their clan. This would be to separate a Clanstone recall and Bindstone recall, increasing the ease of world travel, and increasing the ease of newcomers to your game. A lot of people will find it very hard to get across the world unless you do this and will be turned off from your game.
Cloths
You could also create some type of starter cloths to give people some sort if individuality, these cloths would offer absolutely no benefit other then looks. You would but different colors from merchants like you would the starter weapons. Despite what some might think, this could actually help peoples overall experience by not seeing a bunch of naked players at the start of the game.
Starter Weapon Skill Gain
You also need to reintroduce skill gain by starter weapons. The only thing you’re doing by not allowing this is confusing new players, and making it harder for them to catch up to others who have played longer. You could reduce the amount of skill gained by these to move others to use crafted weapons or weapons found on monsters.
Advertise
After you do all of these things, you need to ADVERTISE THE GAME!!!! You’ll get so many more people interested, and make them acknowledge the game. Contact TV shows, magazines, and websites to review your game, they would more then gladly do it.
Sprinting
Another thing would be to fix the Sprinting system. Sprinting is used non stop in melee fights which ends up just being a figure eight fight when you hardly ever see your opponent. Make it so the suggested special sprint bar that would deplete at a quick rate, or make it so you can’t even sprint while swinging your weapons/casting… That would fix a lot of it and you could still run away from opponents.
This is all I can think of now, and I’m sure everyone has their own ideas. Which of course they will post below.
