Work in progress: Lighting system

[Matjes22]

lol darkfall is unique theres no other game like it

its like real life in anarchy ....

thats what would happen everywhere on world

[Ymgarl]

What are the art developers to do... how would they fix things?

[zulnar178]

fix the damn shit that is broken instead!

[soicuteem]

content please

[PaganDragon98]

AV has a LOT more to worry about then stupid lighting.

[tomppa89]

Looks awesome. Guys at Aventurine are like my idols :D I wish I could work with you :P

[jterry102]

@tomppa89 you want to work for a company that sucks ass at developing? A company that started creating new character models over a year ago and have yet to finish them? A company that takes 2 months to release a patch with only bug fixes? A company that hasn't added 1 piece of content since October?

Think this over..... AV is literally the worst game developer on the planet.

[kaiuycn]

@jterry102 he probably wants to work for them so he can tell them to HURRY UP LOL

[tomppa89]

@jterry102 Content... Go play wow if u need you "content". A proper game doesnt need all the filler stuff to be a great game. And indeed they have done awesome job on Darkfall. They took a big risk when they started coding the game with C++ and Java. I dont think any other game developer would have even thought of it.

[jootai]

@tomppa89 its just not a good game man.. guys in sheds do better things

[tomppa89]

@jootai Yap, it aint. It's just the best game of all time.

[moocaten]

<3

[haxja]

Awesome stuff :D

[Wufflestar]

ADLKFJASD;KLJFK; am i the only one excited? Wewt!

[UnknownXV]

It actually does look awesome. Along with the shadows already in-game, very impressive stuff.

I'd say the priority should be to reduce shadow lag on lowest settings, and force it on so shadow sneaky play could be possible.

Also, remove 1.1 shader option, as it makes water combat so much easier no one bothers to use higher shaders.

[SoloRaiderPvP]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! IS THIS EVEN DARKFALL!?? DAMN MAN!! NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN IS IT LIVE!??!

[xLightFilmsx]

I should really get around to playing Darkfall.

[polnatista2410]

@xLightFilmsx No

[xLightFilmsx]

@polnatista2410 No?

[polnatista2410]

@xLightFilmsx Me and a bunch of outfit / guild mates from another game tried it about a year ago. The grind was insane lol. By all means give it a go, the combat is fun, if it wasn't such a mental grind to be able to compete we would still be playing. Not to mention the crafting skills, grinding them lol, just seemed like a waste of money to sit and watch. But like i say there are the odd good bits here and there :P

[shazugin]

@polnatista2410 the grind from a year ago has been reduced multiple times and is not bad at all anymore

[TheParepin]

@polnatista2410 - the grind is gone. You can even skill up while logged out now. 1 - 75 in any weapon skill is only a few hours with friends attacking strong creatures like elemental's. Next patch is stat gain offline which is the last big grind of the game.

[polnatista2410]

@TheParepin Thanks for informing me, i appreciate it. I may yet give it another go, not any time soon though ( other games i'm invested in, you know how it is lol )

[RyanT1310]

i love darkfall how it is

but i could shoot the devs in the face without remorse

[defstoner18]

The wizards at AV have done it again...

...



[TotallyTwistedSick]

Looks awesome.

[twincann0n]

pro-tip: make your game not take a fucking year of grinding to even be remotely competitive in pvp and I will play it.

[Lumanil]

@twincann0n You can be competitive after a few weeks so stop complainig please. They massively reduced the grind in the last patches. The meditation system also helps greatly.

[nuclearping]

@Lumanil Yes you can if you dedicate yourself to stupid grind with a haste and heal alt for a few weeks or sit in the oceans and macro.

[facethanatos]

@twincann0n Your not even in fucking game and we don't want you to play Darkfall. Stop saying reduce the grind when your not even in game and don't know what the hell your talking about.

[WoTpro]

they are facking idiots, ITS 100 % pointless cause the lightning system is only gonna work under shader 3.0 and we are all running at 1.1 since we wanna be able to see under water. This is unbelivable they don't have a clue, it makes me so sad to see them dick around like that.

[WormaUploader]

@WoTpro yeayea we saw ur post on the forums. So what if they unable shader 1.1 or remove it?

[RealBigDeal22]

@WormaUploader If they unable 1.1, i will stop playing DF for ever. I wont waste money for a new computer only for that game.

[WormaUploader]

@RealBigDeal22 bye

[dargnon]

@WoTpro Good point. I am definitelly not going to switch from 1.1 because of some lightning effects.

[nuclearping]

@WoTpro I read somewhere they are going to overhaul the underwater effects too. This means that you cannot see underwater with Shader 1 aswell or that you finally can see too with Shader 3. :D

[lolagras]

YEAH MOTHAFUCKA WE WILL PLAY THE BEST MMORPG EVER but we WILLLLLLLLLLLLL when they finish with their df arena 2012 maybe :P

[Avorysuds]

6+ years behind the the times, even for MMO's... Wait, whats that you say, it's not even in game yet? LOLZ.

[nuclearping]

@Avorysuds Avrio!

[t4paN]

Ambient Occlusion at long last. I hope the new world is fully baked with AO in the expansion, right now you can't see holes in the ground because of the lack of baked shadows etc. Awesome!

[TacoTaco45]

I like how they work on these settings that nobody will use.

[t4paN]

@TacoTaco45 Actually, AO will make a huge difference in graphic quality and it doesn't require shit to process. It's a grayscale map that tells you where shadows would supposedly fall and darkens these areas. The heavy processing is actually pre-rendered. You probably won't be able to turn it off as you can't turn off specular or normal maps.

[Maudrandir]

soon in 8 months?

[AlmightSkuzz]

GIVE ME RACE CHANGES!

[Alass0n]

real life is a low resolution in comparison

:P nice i hope i don't need nasa pc to play

[nuclearping]

Can this feature be en- / or disabled in the video options? If yes -> Fail, everybody will disable it. More FPS and no dark corners enemies could be hidden in and overseen by the player.

[ReymasofAshborne]

@nuclearping Agree, this has to be forced or no one will use it.

[kkirT]

BETTER GRAPHICS THAN REAL LIFE

[konli4]

love it

[Edd360]

so dynamic, so REEEAAALLL
