I haven’t had much time to get into Darkfall since I was able to purchase a copy a few days ago, but I feel early impressions of a game are still important even if it’s only 2 hrs. To me Darkfall Gold made me feel the same way I did when I got my first hand-me down car when I got my license. I knew it was a piece of shit, but I was glad to have it.

Right off the bat on the games first loading screen there was already a resolution bug. I know it’s only a minor thing that doesn’t effect the game at all, but it does speak volumes about how polished the game is and that’s none, zero. I’m sure there’s a ton of bugs more important than this one which is why it’s probably still there, but common, do you really want the first thing the gamer sees about your game to be a bug?

After you created your character, I selected the wolf race Mahirim, you start out in a little town where you’re presented with a 6 page tool tip guide that’s pretty much tells you how to move and drag and drop items. A pretty useless guide, or so I thought. Once I closed that I didn’t see my character so I though maybe it was still loading, I didn’t realize at the time that you start out in first person mode. After a few seconds I tried to move and saw my cursor move but still no character. I then right clicked and was suddenly able to move. This is where reading the tool tip guide would have helped cause I didn’t know there was a button to switch between movement and interface mode.

So after I got acquainted with how that works I was ready to start on my journey. Since the game gives you no direction I decided to try to find the closes NPC and get a quest. Once I found him and got 2 quests I was ready to go, but again I found Darkfall Online gold more things that bugged me. First, it takes 3 clicks to get to your quest description. You first have to open your journal, then click view quests, then select the quest you want and click description. I don’t know if it’s just me, but every time I open my journal it took around 5-6 secs, even though there’s nothing in it yet. It was taking me around 10-12 secs to get to my quests description because of the slow loading and because there’s no quick quest widget where you can easily see your active quests.
