The Furious Angels

This guy on our bluepill forums recommended Darkfall Online, which is in Beta. The game seems to be geared towards clans, as Beta acceptance is based on clans. I went ahead and applied just for fun and guess what - we got in. So if you're bored, register for their boards at http://forums.darkfallonline.com/register.php? . After that, post the name you are using and your email here. First 11 get primary beta slots. Everyone else gets an extra beta tester slot.
Don't worry - we're not going multi-game. Just something new to tryout since it is in beta.

The criteria for inviting clans have been the following:
1. Darkfall Community involvement
2. We know them - and have played with or against them in the past
3. Reputation - or recommendation by other clans and evaluation.
whoa umm i dont think we fit any of those, how did we get picked? I smell dev favortism! :)
-
Eroz and Broin added. 4 slots left!
3. Reputation - or recommendation by other clans and evaluation.
Another clan recommended us. I provided our website and a few other details for them to evaluate us with, and I guess they liked what they saw.

hmm interesting good stuff.

Darkfall is freedom to have fun straight from the box. There are no set grinds that you need to go through in order to enjoy the end game. There's no level grind, no money grind, no item grind. You should go out and start having fun doing whatever it is that you enjoy doing in the game. You can focus on PvP, on trade, or on adventuring, or do it all.
I hope to God that they pull this off.
-
yeah you dont lvl in this game its crazy
-
I WANT TO PLAY!!!!
-
Honestly I was never a fantasy game fan but I gotta say this game has some damn good ideas. If they arn't broken promises like mxo's ideas this game would probably be somthing I would even have great interest in.

Whatever Arch. I just went out and bought a new headset for $15. Stop being lazy!
-
Lazy is my middle name :P
It was funny too, cause i went to best buy to buy one... and got distracted with the 1Gig memory stick duo and a usb cable for my PSP...
I bought that and COMPLETELY forgot to get my mic T_T
-
Meh, the computer is an appliance, but the PSP is a lifestyle tool.
-
PSP rocks.

I know I probably missed it.. or perhaps it is someone else.. but their is a character named Psy - FA
Anyone know who this is? Justing wondering if this is FA meaning our FA or just something that he put
-
Maybe not... just tired... check the time of post... hint... 5:30 in the morning :-D
-
there is a clan there already called Fallen Angels which also have the FA tag.

I guess this is what I was thinking about when I posted in the RF Online thread. Oops!

Don't know if this was a registration for the BETA or what we have already done... Just a heads up that it looks like BETA for this game is starting very soon
http://forums.darkfallonline.com/announcement.php?f=29&a=20
-
Haha, about time :p
-
Broin, that link was for forum group registrations. Basically, it was an opportunity to have "Furious Angels" under your name on the forums. It had nothing to do with Beta accept giving your faction more face time and a better chance to get into Beta.
I can't remember how to login to see our clan registration page anymore. I don't have that link ever since my HD crashed a while back.

Yeah Tbone needs to make our faction group on the Darkfall forums then we need to join it, so once Tbone gets on that we can get on that.

Hmm, I don't really remember an Ember...lol. You can still sign up for this using the directions on the first post of this thread (I think it's the first post). I can add each of you as you give me details. Meanwhile I'll delete these some of these old guys.
-
Well according to the post Broin linked they will be doign registration a little differently I guess. So on the 20th we will have to see what it says.
-
I think basically what you have to do is provide that information to them again to show them that you are still an active clan that wants to be invovled in the BETA. You give them your name as the leader the clan name the member names etc., and all that has to be pm'd or emailed to a specific person or contact when the reopen registration
-
The link you posted is to get your own FORUM group. Basically they put your faction in their usergroups and everyone in your faction can have "Furious Angels" under their name in the forums. It doesn't get you in Beta, but it apparently increases your chances.

As far as the Sept registration period goes; we got a grand total of 451 submissions so it will take some time to process everything. Current ETA for completion is Sept 24. If you have not heard from either me or Guild Registrar by Sept 24th please send ME a pm informing me."

Ok, our guild is set up on the forums! Now I NEED all of you to log on to their forums, go to "User CP", "Group Memberships", find "Furious Angels" in the list, and apply to join. We have 14 days to get at least 10 of you signed up or they nix us.
-
Alright i have requested access!

Done.
-
Done.
-
Oh, and you wanna scroll to the bottom of Group Memberships after I accept you and choose FA as your the membership that is "seen".
-
Done.
-
Done
-
As a general question.. what are the races and or classes.. perhaps its that it is 2 in the morning and I don't want to look especially hard for it.. but can anyone enlighten me or link me please.
-
There are no classes only skills. And there are several different race types that are listed on their website.
-
Doneh!
-
Also, I would like to see what race you guys like: For me, the elves (Mirdain) or the humans. Most probably Elves though since with these kind of "olde" games I like to use a bow and arrow.
-
I'm leaning towards human, though I would like to have an alt of every race if that is possible. Two handed swords or sword and shield is normally my first choice.
-
Heh it has been so long since i actually first looked at this game when ever someone here first mentioned it now i dont even remember much about it cause every time i go to the site, it makes me not want to look at it, i think it is pretty ugly and unuserfriendly
-

Yeah, I definitely noticed that. It took me fifteen minutes to find the forums. o.o
-
Too right :D But yeah, I think it may be fun, looks like a Guild wars spin off to me/ morrowind.
-
Yeah, but so far their user and guild customization has been spot on. I've already got more group control there than on MxO and Darkfall isn't even in Beta yet. lol

Very interesting article.
-
Characters in Darkfall collide with, rather than passing through each other. Collision detection makes formations possible and necessary in group combat. You can block entrances and exits, use chokepoints, and protect your healers and ranged fighters effectively. You can actually surround your enemies, perform battle maneuvers, deploy your forces based on your enemy numbers and formation, etc.
That made me smile.

Well not sure what's going on with this but the latest post in the global announcment talks about BETA Keys so, just a heads up to Tbone and anyone else whose been interseted in this
-
I think we already have a Beta Key, basically a key gets your guild into the clan beta system I think... tbone would probably know more.
-
I'm game, just tell me when and where. ('Specially if its free! :D)
-
Checked my e-mail...no key....
-

Email Wraithninja17@aol.com
-
Well that's the first I've heard them mention BETA Key. What we were doing before was clan registration, so I'm assuming this is different. Might be a good idea to send the dude a PM for clarification
-
this game looks and sounds so fookin shweet!
-
I sent him a PM. They make it sound like the last few open registrations were for beta and not for the forums. Very confusing...
-
Cool stuff, I've been waiting for this beta for a while now.
-
i hope we get in
-
Ok yeah, upon rereading it, it does sound as if beta is in progress. And it does hint to around the 20th... lets keep an eye on this for sure.

Does that mean that the last few registration windows have been for beta and not for forum registration as I thought?
-------
They have all been for forum groups, a forum group is tied to getting a beta key after a fashion.
Keep an eye on the new announcement that'll be going up in the next few hours, it should clear things up.
-
sweet, next few hours huh?
-
Now, twenty-six hours later....?
-
Yeah it opened up but we already did it long long ago when we had the chance... again FA is ahead of the pack.
-
Just tell me what to do and I'll do it, I have been waiting for this for some time.

Ditto. Should be fun to have something to do when MXO gets a little boring. :)

Some off-topic news but a new video is out. Looks pretty neat.
http://files.darkfallonline.com/darkfall_battle.zip
-
Hmm, decent. Graphics and animation look like they need a lot of tweaking. It's starting to look more like your basic sword-slasher than that video we originally saw with the "fps" feel to it. I'm more interested in the guild systems and things of that nature. This is one of those we really won't know if it is good until we get in there.
-
Hmmm... interesting

Another interview that gives a concise amount of information pertaining to the game. Man this game looks like FUN!
-
January 22nd is the launch date for the European servers. The good news is that North Americans are allowed to join the European servers.
A lot of you seem to be interested in this game. We still haven't been able to join Beta, but what's the consensus on doing some recruiting in this game and trying to be a full-fledged clan in the game? Should we try it out first? Or build our player-base first?
Obviously we can't create a web-challenge for this game as we are already working on another one. If we can get into a schedule, we could do recruitment on their boards and just have extensive interviews. Once we get in game, we could do in-game recruiting via mysterious methods. How many of you are willing to shell out money for the game? Is it a monthly charge? I don't remember.
Let me know your thoughts. If there's enough interest, I'll create a forum, TS channel, special user group for Darkfall recruits, etc.

You are correct. However, from what I've gathered from the forums, they will be adding in North American servers once they have the resources available to them, meaning that we could stay on the European server, or we could migrate to the North American server. What I don't know, however, is whether we will have to create NEW characters on the NA server or simply transfer our characters to the new NA server. If the former is the case, then our EU server could simply be a trial and error time where we figure out the mechanics of the game before we really try and set up a clan/guild/faction.

We could always try recruiting on the forums! That might also increase our chances of getting into the Beta because we'll be posting more, and more members in a game that a lot of us will be playing sounds like a good idea to me. Once the Open Beta starts (if it does), we can step up our recruiting efforts. If not, we can step up our efforts if we're really serious about playing this game. I don't think, however, that we should recruit people unless the current people in the faction want to play the game. We would want to appear "active".

I am willing to shell out money for this game. As well, I believe that Tasos (the Walrus of Darkfall) stated that everyone who wants to will be able to try out the game before they buy it, indicating that they will have either a nice trial period or an Open Beta, so that should give any doubters the chance to try before they buy it. And, yes, it will be a monthly charge, but it shouldn't be any more than MXO. As for interviews and recruiting and such, we will definitely need to be more active than we were in MXO, seeing as we won't be known just by our name alone, at least initially. If we get enough people in the faction interested in the game, we could always try to create a challenge for this game, too, once the Agency's one is done.
Let me know your thoughts. If there's enough interest, I'll create a forum, TS channel, special user group for Darkfall recruits, etc.
Should we make a separate thread for this, maybe? This one has become very congested with a lot of stuff and might not be as desirable to read compared to a new, fresh thread. We could also create a poll and even schedule a meeting time to discuss this game more if there's interest. I know that Broin, Pheinyx, Manic, you, and I are for sure interested. I'm sure that we could get a bunch of everyone else interested in the game just by the simple fact that they would once again get to play a game with people in the faction, something that nearly everyone has really been wanting to do for a while now.

Count me in. I've got an RL friend who is rather new to gaming (he started off right by diving in with PC MMO's!), and he has been keeping an eye on this game as well, which came as a pleasant surprise.

I shall be playing Darkfall.
It'll be fun to hang out with you guys in game again and is more than worth the money, to do just that.

Not "in" as pertaining to the beta, but I am "in" in the context of wanting to play this game. :)
