In order to show off good PvP in DarkFall I’m somewhat forced to linking other players videos. I don’t record DarkFall while I play, and more importantly, because my skills are not even close to the guy in this video, you would end up watching 20 second clips of me chasing someone around and ultimately dying, and that would only be fun for so long. This was recorded after the most recent patch, and as you can see it features far more archery, melee, and mounted combat instead of the AoE-fest that was all too common pre-patch.
The first fight is versus two skilled opponents initially and goes from there. The second fight is versus six members of NEW, the starter clan in DarkFall, and if watched closely a new player can pick up a lot of tips on how to take someone down and what the best strategy is for such a situation.
I found both fights overall very entertaining (I watched them on mute, so can’t comment on music selection), and I think the video does a good job of highlighting the hectic and yet calculated combat in DarkFall. Even when outnumbered or close to death, the player in the video remains calm, which is a very enviable trait. Good stuff iHope!
(DarkFall-related post disclaimer/reminder. If you click the image link near the top-right of this page and buy a DarkFall account, I get paid 20% of the client cost. If you believe this taints my views and reporting on DarkFall, your opinion is wrong.)
Just rising to that disclaimer – if I should just take your word for it I’d be wrong, is there anything else I should take your word for?
I don’t think taint matters and instead you mentioning things that other people can go and test the existance of themselves. Like you mention there being more archery in the video. People can test that for themselves, and even if you were tainted, if there is more archery, then there is. Taint doesn’t matter, facts do. And you seem to be giving facts/things people can test for themselves, so that’s doing the important and good thing!
Yah, I wrote too much, I know. BTW, video link didn’t seem to work for me? But sometimes my computer stuffs up, so it may be me.
Reminds me of knife combat in Counter-Strike 6 years ago. Right amount of bunny hopping too ;).
Wow… looks really fun actually. A mix of mount and blade and elder scrolls combat from the looks of it. Damn you to hell Syn, making me really wanna buy this game.
Crevex, you think that was good? Check this out:
Some naval combat! A couple of great videos, really illustrate the diversity in Darkfall.
