Update November 11th 2011

We mentioned planning a fast skilling weekend with increased loot in our last communication

The effort is to have this start Friday November 18th and last through Monday November 21st. We’ll send out a communication on Wednesday concerning the timing. We’re also putting together a patch, which takes priority, so there’s a small chance we might need to  postpone the fast skilling weekend by one week. In any case we’ll let you know this by the middle of next week.

The patch includes bug fixes and adjustments, more specifically addressing emotes cutting off animations and sounds. We’re also taking care of exploits and bugs having to do with the trade window, such as using the trade window to bypass encumbrance and trading with invulnerable players. Silent teleportation and silent recall have been fixed. House owners can share their house safe with tenants. We took your feedback concerning village control point damage in consideration, so now their health will go back to full after 20 minutes of not taking more damage. There are some more bug fixes having to do with village control points, also some more fixes you’ll read about in the patch notes.

We’d like to apologize about the slow communication of late. This has happened for several reasons having to do with major business activity related to the re-launch, the Asian version of the game, localized versions for other territories, etc. and their requirements,  which are taking up even more of our limited resources. We hope to be in a position to explain more about the new version of the game, the results of our business activities, and our future plans in the next few weeks.

Thank you for reading.

    In before the complaints about no release date & wipe speculation, lol.

    + House owners can share their house safe with tenants. <=yes!!

  2. sounds good to me, hope the asian server really hits so you guys can get the cash to fix everything with the game after 2.0 and make this the best game ever made and good populations on the servers.
    My fingers are crossed.!

    I think this is a great post, I don’t know why all the whiners. Hmm we get new VCP patch and 2 weeks later AV says ya we missed some stuff and you guys got the correct tweeks we are going to listen to you. Um that is great. Keep up the good work AV!

  5. I can’t change the text colour, so everyone just IMAGINE that this is all written in green…

    Love the changes, I abhor Facebook but I will log in if I have to just to post a kudos. Being able to share your house safe is something I’ve wanted since safes were implemented. Also fixing the lame tactic of clans leaving a VCP at <50% HP and having to wait till server up to reset it was annoying, thank you for addressing it.

    You guys are on a roll with the last few patches in the last month or two, VCP's are small-scale PvP hotspots worth fighting over now and the ninja-capping of VCP's was also addressed along with fixing the Bluetail Submarines.

    The game is starting to polish up nicely here, I hope you see the benefits of this kind of "maintenance" of the game, something you have neglected for soo long. This is necessary to maintain a good MMO, little tweaks here and there fixing bugs/exploits and bumping balance closer to a more fun game for all.

    Excellent job, keep this up releasing a smallish patch once a month or so addressing concerns from the players and the community will once again have faith in you. Now all you have to do is man up and address the wipe concerns one way or another and the faith-o-meter will stabilize.

  6. Why do I look forward to these blogs? Always a let down. I was under the impression we were going to learn more about the phat loot. What does this mean?

  7. Tyler Burke says:

    At this point, I’m pleased to even get an update. Although “the next few weeks” is always something to worry about.

  8. Eric Gayman says:

    You guys don’t have to fix village control points the smarter players take repair shards to claim them it only takes like 4 or 5. Just saying :P

  9. I am very excited to get some old darkfall friends playing again during the event. Thanks for the update and best of luck!

    Meh blog. Actually it is a very well written (HTML) part of the website. +1 for the mobile version. You’ve fooled me too much AV. Not going to resub until 2.0. We both know that the extra skipping will be like x1 or x1.5 gains. Hardly a reason to get people to resub. Increasing drops and rates by…. Let’s say 50% should get people like me drank the Greek Gatorade one more.

  11. Tasos ur down 2 300 players…. soon u will have 0

  12. …bishock 1-2, saints row collection, mass effect 1-2, skyrim…i wont play DF on free weekend…maybe when AV realease all promised features…

    …no, dont hate this game, i love it, but i was a sub since 2009 until begin of this year and lots of promises after i unsubed…waiting AV see the great potencial of his own game…

  13. DUDE!!! WTF!!! Aventurine are you serious? I want to say give up but I want to see DF2.0. All these little fixes should’ve already been done. Where the hell is your new game that people put money in for? We want the new content you said you would release, not fixes that should’ve been addressed when the population of the game was higher than 20. I think that 98% of the post on your blogs are now negative and this should get you guys moving. What is the problem? wait don’t tell me I already know the answers. You gave them to us one year ago and I’m pretty sure we all have them memorized because they’ve been the same since. Except for little fixes here and there.

    Stop wasting your Time Money and resources on a client that is going to get scrapped. Instead Focus ALL your so called Limited Resources on developing, Finishing and releasing DarkFall 2.0 Stop Beating a Dead dog, Its Dead, No Bug fix, Re-balance, re-decorate is going to bring it back to life. We want 2.0 not Irreverent bug fixes, china servers.

    Its time to step it up.
    Start giving your developers DEADLINES!
    Start giving your community REAL answers.
    Stop Misleading your Community
    Stop Making promises unless you can Deliver in a timely matter.
    (no promises are better than false promises)
    If Tell us about something Provide Real Release Dates and stick to it, not some BS ETA that is never even close to the actual release.
    Promote your product.(Tv commercials work wanders! That how wow did it)

    Did Adventuring forget somewhere along the line that we actually pay for this product? As things are Darkfall Feels like a Paid beta and 2.0 is going to be the real product. LETS GO ALREADY!

    Your a business & we are your customers. We expect Adventurine to conduct itself professionally And Distribute a professional product. Is this too much to ask?

    JUST SAYIN!

    No Idea why that posted 2x.

    LoL Even The Blog is Broken

  17. well, personally i’d hold out from releasing in china till next edition released, no one likes problems and you and chinese partner will have far higher retention of new customers with df2 then an inevitably disappointing df1 release, they can find this site ya know and will know eventually if you were to impatient for cash to wait till the best version is ready all around that they been fed a dud in the name of expediency so to prevent annoyed gamers and max retention focus 100% on df2 then release asia version releasing their with df1 by this point is plain insulting to asian gamers with df2 looming on the horizon

  19. Fcking fix the lagspikes and those disconnect issues i pay for servers that work since i dont do for serious patches it seems

  20. are you really that greek AV? GET THE SERVERS READY!!!!!!!
