DF:UW – Win some, lose some, win some more

Posted on June 11, 2013 by SynCaine

The last patch that AV put out seems to have fixed all crashing problems during a large battle, which is pretty damn awesome. My ping only spiked to 400ish once the entire night (3hrs or so?), and my FPS never … Continue reading →

No Forumfall makes me sad

Posted on June 10, 2013 by SynCaine

The DF:UW forums have been down for over 24 hours, and it’s driving me insane. Funny how big a part of my enjoyment that aspect of the game is. Lots of siege action tonight for OTG. Should be interesting.

Posted on June 3, 2013 by SynCaine

Last Friday the latest patch for DF:UW was released, and it included the first dungeon added to the game. Sunday night OTG and allies put together a group of eight to go check it out. Entering the dungeon works like … Continue reading →

DF:UW – TheMercs crush VAMP

Posted on May 29, 2013 by SynCaine

Good video here from TheMercs showing solid group tactics and how to string out a much larger force. Also love that voice comms are included in the video, as it gives a much better view into how such a group … Continue reading →

DF:UW – In the halls of old Aradoth

Posted on May 28, 2013 by SynCaine

Darkfall: Unholy Wars takes place (I believe) 200 years after the events of Darkfall. Aventurine hasn’t done a lot with the lore, but in-game some areas reflect this more than others. The location of today’s story, the city of Aradoth, … Continue reading →

DF:UW – Scroaching

Posted on May 23, 2013 by SynCaine

Last night there were multiple large sieges not involving OTG, and since our clan had no formal plans to attend, I made my way down to the area to do some good old scroaching. For non-Darkfall players, scroaching is basically … Continue reading →

DF:UW – Newbie perspective

Posted on May 20, 2013 by SynCaine

My guess is most of you did not catch MJ from Massively live streaming a little over an hour of her DF:UW experience a few days ago. It’s not exactly appointment viewing given the length, but it’s actually rather interesting … Continue reading →

Posted on May 16, 2013 by SynCaine

Last night OTG had a siege against The Empire for their hamlet of Alden Enak (AE), located just south of our city of Kvit. The nice thing about this siege was that the numbers, gear, and player skill were about … Continue reading →

Themepark goes F2P, take infinity

Posted on May 15, 2013 by SynCaine

Some quick thoughts on the Rift F2P thing, since a few people have asked. First, it’s not surprising. Scott Hartsman leaving Trion was basically the “Rift is going F2P” announcement. Second, not surprising given what Rift is. It’s an above-average … Continue reading →

DF:UW – The value of owning a city

Posted on May 13, 2013 by SynCaine

A popular topic on ForumFall of late has been the value of player cities and hamlets, with some believe they are not worth owning, or that the cost to build them up is too great and needs to be reduced. … Continue reading →
