Aventurine reaches out to Darkfall community with tournament video
Darkfall's devs are going out of their way to interact with the community of late. Whether it's in the form of new blog entries or unannounced presences at in-game events, it's clear the Aventurine braintrust is interested in keeping their fingers firmly on the community's pulse. The latest outreach example takes the form of a forum post by Tascha, a developer who shares a company-produced video that was recently recorded at a dueling tournament on the game's EU server. "Several of us, including Aventurine's CEO, where watching from the shadows during the last 1vs1 Tournament on EU organized by Ninogan Swiftstep," Tascha writes. As for the tourney itself, it was a labor of love for Swiftstep. "When you spend as much time as you do with an MMO, you want to make the most of your time and do cool stuff. For Darkfall, which is all about PvP for me, doing something like this felt natural," he says. Keep an eye on Darkfall's community events forum for more happenings around the world of Agon, and don't forget to check out the tourney video after the break.
One Shots: Bubble of DOOOOOOM
Normally we don't get large descriptions, such as the one we got for today's Darkfall One Shots that was sent in to us by Ninogan Swiftstep. That said, when we do get them, we're glad to cede the floor as the players are often one of the best resources on learning more about a game, for better or worse. As such, here's today's note from Ninogan: Darkfall has been running for a few months now and with the latest patch you can no longer jump while charging a spell or nocking an arrow. This has changed pvp quite a bit and it seems like a lot of people hate it and a lot of people love it. I still haven't decided how I feel about it but I was a lot better at PvP before this change. Right now it seems like the guy with the highest magic skills will usually win most of the fights and that's a big problem considering the changes to how you can skill up magic now (long story short: it's a lot more annoying now).So when you see someone conjure up huge AoE's and bubbles like the one in the picture then you probably should turn around if you don't have any of those mean spells yourself or accept that you will mostly likely lose your gear. Darkfall is still a lot of fun, win or lose.Want to tell us why your favorite game is cool? We're glad to hear from you - just send your thought along with a wicked-cool screenshot to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com. Add your name and the name of the game as well! We'll post it here and give you credit - and the floor.%Gallery-9798%
