After trying a 7am raid on us this morning which included seiging both LoD and Yew.... it backfired and we took 2 holdings from them in their primetime. More news tomorrow... now its our turn while they sleep.

VICTORY!

"It is for this reason that after a long and successful run, I now capitulate to the blue dots, and such leaders as Obidiah of LOD and Bone of Sinister, who are gentlemen I most enjoyed sharing the chessboard with, and whose tactic of lying low and making strategic use of the more vocal alliances bought them an excellent position. Much like a good billiards player doesn't think only about the ball he's currently trying to sink, but about how much force he needs to apply to set up the next shot, the Death Alliance, the blue dots, are the ones who played their hand most favorably, and of all my three antagonists are now poised with the most advantage on the world map."

Hyperion takes it in the ass

2009-04-20T21:02:00.001-07:00

I would have summed it up like, hyperion fell for the bait, got flanked, lost to less numbers... and king manus pooped out 3 mortars with his full plate. Bone wrote it up all fancy schmancy for you.

"This weekened I was a part of a siege that for me defines Darkfall. The fight for the bridge west of Hamlet 121 was everything I could have hoped for in organized combat. Sinister and the Deceit alliance moved out form defensive postures of Sunthrone, Rhenegar, and Khunark 1 hour prior to Skogul's vulnerability point. The forces of Hyperion met the Sunthrone offensive force head on at a bridge choke point imeediately to the west of Skogul and a pitched battle began. At one point it looked like we (Deceit) were going to be routed as the Hyperion army charged across the bridge on horseback like calvary. Players were in full on sprint away from the battle and the lines were broken, that is until the second division of our forces slammed into the Hyperion flank.

This fight was the most epic thing I've seen in the game. Beach heads were won and lost, flanks and counter flanks were employeed it was really just awesome. The lag was present but not game breaking and I honestly think had we lost the siege I would have still be very happy with the experience. In a world where lines are drawn now between all of the alliances I predict most encounters to be pitched battles like this where no step is taken without blood and tears being spilt.

From a tactical standpoint I believe Hyperion forces errored in charging past the bridge they could have held that point for a VERY long time. By extending outside of Skogul and into the fields the rear flank of our second division was able to smash them one by one from the rear. Mannus and his troops should have kept their original positions 80-100 man strong north east of Skogul and only after our troops had to fight through Skogul's 40-60 rooftop and building defenders should they have entered the frey. Stamina of our troops would have been lower, cohesion of force would have been weaker and the initiative would have been theirs to take.

Destroying a clanstone in this game takes even a large force about 15 minutes of unoccupied time, during which any AE on or near the stone hits massive amounts of players. There SHOULD be lots of time for reactionary combat where players either come off the stone or die for it.

In short, by giving up the natural defensive postures of Skogul, and by not focusing on its defense, they lost the battle.

Still, was about the most fun I've had in Darfkall yet and I salute all involved. "

Darkfall Gepolitical Update - Week IV by bonedancer

"North West Island - Deceit
Just one week since I predicted an uphill battle for LOD to conquer Deceit they and their allies have managed to wipe out all opposition, shows you what I know. Having been an active particpant in many of these fights I've seen for myself that wars are not won by numbers, not by resources, but by will alone. The LOD guys and their buddies simply wanted it more. Those of you looking for the field manual on how to conquer land should look to some of the lessons learned here. Don't try to win in one night, demoralize their Clan by taking down bind spots and valuable assets, do so repeatedly until their moral is so low a push results in their fall. "

It seems that many guilds are re-considering their objectives. Here's some of the more interesting reads. Leave comments if I left out any of the hacks who couldn't hang in a true hardcore MMO.

Under-the-Radar-Approach-Never-Works (NAA)

"Their guilds have problems with spies, so every move of the NAA was so predictable by LoD alliance. Anyway, we keep fighting on there, knowing since saturday we were walking directly to our defeat or to a never ending war, just for loyalty to our new friends."

-Etrurian_Akab

Harm makes excuses, blames LoD's willingness to be "hardcore"

"Our alliance lost a city the other day because we just plain out could not defend it due to the time of day it was attacked. A fair tactic and I wont complain. From browsing LOD forums we knew they were coming and when just not what target. We also knew they were taking vacation from work and getting up at 3:30am to accomplish their goals. The day I have to take vacation to save pixels is the day I say fuck the pixels."

So...

2009-03-22T14:18:00.000-07:00

Whatever did happen to Harm's bank (besides being disabled later that night)? Let's ask Labiferoan Windrunner, former Harm officer with clan bank access, turned newest addition to LoD explains...

(LoL)

What loot? Harm loot seized by LoD officials included; gold, resources, modules etc. plus 40+ siege hammers put to GREAT use that same night (read "Doing Work").

(What loot? ALL OF IT)

But Why? What drives a man to realize he was surrounded by Busch Leaguers pretending to be hardcore MMO'ers? Nobody respects a zerg. PERIOD.

(Sounds about right)

Where did all the loot end up? Mostly in the hands of LoD financial wizard, Hew, who was quoted as saying "We didn't even apply for bail-out funds, wtf is this all aboot?"

(Ahoy!)

More screens/vids to follow. ATC couldn't resist posting the exclusive early before news could be twisted by the masses. The vent recordings alone are comedy gold.

Hopefully non-believers learned two valuable lessons.

1. Just because you play with legends, doesn't give you the right to call yourself one. You will never be more than a cog in a zerg.

2. Don't fuck with LoD.

Because you're talking about us-- and the formation of the mega-zerg alliance means that as individual guilds you will remain obscure unknowns in the annals of MMO history. A mere fart compared to the shit-stain LoD has smeared over its enemies.

23 pages of drama filled posts

Summed up best...

"So, from this thread we agree, everyone hates LOD, and thus they're famous, similarly they are respected to an extent even by guilds that hate them. Then there is the alliance of 16 guilds who are no names trying to make a name for themselves and the whole server hates them for mad zergfest. Can I join in on one of these guilds? I want to be famous too."

Harm's bank located in the ghetto known as Mamengruk was declared defunct as financial guru Couls decided to leverage major assets (BA would say "a shit-ton of battlespikes") in a long term battle against the intruders. When finally allowed to go to bed, Venger declared "THIS BULLSHIT IS BULLSHIT".

Harm was able to bring several partners in to join the fight to include; Tempest and Legion. But these hippies pretty much suck...so yah.

The Art of Competitive Gaming

2009-03-13T10:35:00.000-07:00

I'd like to assume that the majority of the ATC readers consider themselves competitive gamers. This interesting article on Competitve Gaming takes an analytical approach to the concept of balances within MMORPGs. The author really nails some of the points that compose the LoD4Life mentality. Now, if this article came from Adventurine, we would all be in great shape.

A game is enjoyable if there's strategic depth and variety that encourages experimentation, and every new dominant strategy discovered is met with an effective counterstrategy. A game is broken or unbalanced if it becomes clear that spamming a particular move, taking over a particular location, or employing a particular tactic makes everything else in the game irrelevant.

Perhaps the biggest difference between a casual player and a hardcore player is that a casual player wants to be able to pick up a game and have fun with it without putting hundreds of hours into it, and a hardcore player wants the hundreds of hours invested into the game to mean something

Don't come to our city and expect not to be griefed. That goes for GM's too. Speakingof GM's...don't show up and try to flex on us...especially when 50% of my guildmates are still pressing "F5".

This is the story of a young GM, who wandered into the wrong town. Bonepeeler Protectorofall paid a visit to the very unfriendly Frost Coast (aka Deceit).

He was quickly met by the LoD Box Club -- who surrounded the GM and began to "harrass" him.

(So mean)

Apparently two LoD members were booted from game. It is still unknown whether or not anyone received any type of suspension. If so, I wonder if they'll deduct it from the time Aventurine already owes us.

Simon LoD, who was actually punted from game, had this to say, "You put that Mother F'er in 4oz. gloves and fly him to Fresno...I guarantee i'll test his chin".

Nearly as quickly as it started, Tasha Dev, came to the rescue of her retarded 'lil brother and behaved like a paid employee of a shittily-launched game should. The two were last seen comparing notes on how to actually use their UI.

(GMs take damage but their health bar stays at 100% just FYI)

(Alert the Clutch!)

The episode leaves many questions unanswered. Why were GMs in our city in the 1st place? Do GMs receive training on how to use their "powers"? Is it Aventurine's policy to punt players from game for "harrassment"? Will Bonepeeler always be a n00b?

With the frustration of this release it is a surprise that any guilds were able to get in game. While many guilds could not cut it, LoD was another story. The members that were able to get in game started it off with a bang.

The Lords of Death accomplished two firsts for the Euro release of Darkfall. LoD was the first guild formed, as well as the first town claimed. This is thanks to the dedication of our members that were able to get online. LoD is a well oiled machine and we challenge anyone to take us up on our supremacy.

It is every shire’s responsibility to claim their fief! Please name your clans by your territory name, and then use your forum name as the motto, for example:

Winterblades calls out LoD

2009-02-23T16:40:00.000-08:00

LoD's bank was delicious

- Oly, Guild Leader of Night Crew, Winterblades

Late into the evening, just days before release, Winterblades issued an official challenge to LoD.

Just as the servers came up, Winterblades decided to put together a raiding crew to see how much drama they could stir up at the infamous LoD Keep. With LoD members pre-occupied f5'ing through the pre-order selection, LoD was taken by slight surprise when this small but effecient seige hammer weilding crew showed up and knocked on the bank door.

As LoD architects spent their time wisely divising release plans and strategies, Winterblades felt it would be a good opportunity to try gain some e-peen fame by riding the LoD coattails and emerging from the "non-factor beta guild" category.

Threatening us is laughable.

-Ssly, Winterblades

Unfortunately for Winterblades, every attack against LoD, including beta, will result in an equal and opposite reaction. I hope your "laughable" journey to LoD's bank was worth your guilds demise once the stakes actually matter.

LoD Beta Fun Part 3: Gay Exploiters!

2009-02-18T20:02:00.001-08:00

It's nothing new. LoD being accused of exploiting. Don't forget, in SB we were European hackers that convinced GMs to do our bidding. Apparently in DF we have a "radar hack" an "aimbot" and a "speedhack". Obama is also LoD's Manchurian candidate and we fooled Americans into believing we actually landed on the moon.

From the DF beta clan forums about our very own "Lucyhawk" aka Jordache.

"Just lol. Anyone else run into this speedhacking bitch? And no, it's not lag. It's very clearly not lag. She goes against 7 suited guildmates,
while she's naked, with a two-hander, flying and teleporting, and
hitting us perfectly. The only time you can hit her is when she's looting. She goes at mach-speed infinitely, and kept trailing and screwing with people.

I really don't much about LoD, but the fact that they keep trash like that in their guild really says something."
-sawyerj66

"This I would like proof of, cause yo jerk offs have been sitting in towns attacking people who are clanned at the bank with out going Grey looting shit and dumping everything in the bank or deleting the items in spite. You loot faster then even a 2.3k dpi mouse can pull a cursor. And this is just Lucy hawk I'm talking about. Don't bull shit me."
-GreatRedDeath

"It would be nieve of everyone to think that LoD won't use every exploit in the game. If 5 people hack/cheat, 3 of them will be LoD."
-Psymon

(That website really is pretty cool)

(Garreett Caic is probably gay and probably looking to exploit)

LoD Beta Fun Part 2: Homeless and Scared

2009-02-18T19:53:00.000-08:00

These "extortion" posts pissed off the clan beta forums for their abiguity. They never realized they were on the hook for the massive LoD propaganda machine.

How dare this guy question LoD's reputation

The real Matriarch

2008-12-09T10:33:00.000-08:00

ATC Delivers an exclusive interview with Matriarch of Murder Herd.

Me:
BlackJack here to set the record straight on Darkfall Clan politics. Lets get right to it shall we?

Her:
BlackJack, that's a sexy name, have you seen my leaf tits?

Me:
Yes Matriarch, I've seen your leaf tits. But we will get back to that topic later, I've got a doozy for ya. But first, tell me about your guild Murder Herd.

Her:
What would you like to know?

Me:
Tell me about your charter, when and why you formed the guild, and what you hope to accomplish in Darkfall.

Her:
We're here to kick ass and take names. Make no mistake about it, the Herd is here to sweep all before it. However, while we do intend to make a name for ourselves through our own unique form of asshatery, we aren't your typical bullies.

Me:
Tell me about this asshatery?

Her:
Well, I developed a plan for maximum loyalty. In my younger days I was a real life role player, I used to model at renaissance fairs. I took one of those pictures, and used it as a recruitment tool. Now I've got a hoard of internet pimps in competition to impress me in hopes of losing their e-virginity.

Me:
If they only knew...

Her:
Knew what?

Me:
Younger years, lol.. An anonymous source sent me your mug shot from a recent molestation arrest of yours. Apparently Conq's mom decided to press charges?

Her:
...

Me:
You're usually pretty wordy... what gives?

Her:
I just love role playing, especially in bed with Conq. Fuck ATC, gimmie those ATD <3<3<3<3<3

Hugs and Kisses,
Matriarch

Darkfall Release Date = Riots in Athens

2008-12-07T07:26:00.000-08:00

The wait is over! DarkFall will be released on Jan 22/2009!

Immediately after the confirmation of the release date, drunk European's lacking shirts took to the streets in an all out celebration. Riots are still happening as we speak in Athens, I guess those guys are more hardcore then we thought.

Tasos addressed the skeptics on MMORPG.com with a generous Darkfall progress update.

Some key points:

MMORPG.com:

There is a great deal of confusion surrounding Darkfall's beta and release schedule. Could you clarify any of this for us?

Tasos Flambouras:

We've been trying to get our partners up to speed and there will be an official statement in the next few days announcing a release date for the game. This should clear things up.

We all want beta douches.

2008-11-26T09:29:00.001-08:00

With the countdown until our reported release date, the official forums have become overrun with threads that fall in one of two categories:

1. I'm a douche bag kiss up, thank you Devs for making the game of my dreams, please give me beta.

2. I'm a douche bag troll, if they don't open beta on Friday, this game is VAPOR!

We all want beta, and if you're trying to increase your odds, do something a bit more original, and clever.

What is the role of the LoD Empire?

2008-11-24T16:50:00.000-08:00

One of our new empire members had the following questions to ask, below, you can read a few of the first replies from our private forum.

---------------------
Besides the obvious stepping stone to LoD Proper, what are the expectations of the minor leaguers?

Are we considered "pledges", like in a fraternity, where we must follow orders from LoD Proper?
Do we have to collect resources constantly in order for LoD Proper to use?

I assume members of Empire will have to "pay their dues" to show our dedication to LoD...I'd like to know whether it is more along the lines of showing we value Guild > Self or just being good little LoD bitches.

--------------------

My reply:

We want new blood, you want to roll with the best. Win/Win. As for duties, we will need to play Darkfall in greater capacity before we can make that determination, but rest assured that if the empire members are asked to gather logs, that the Lords themselves will also be gathering logs.

--------------------

Murd's Reply (Famous ATC host and LoD Lord):

Any former Shadowbane Empire members may want to chime in. While in DF, you have most every right AND obligation as any LoD member. But only through LoD proper can you become a full-member that spans across ANY game in the future.

Because you are new, you will be expected to show your loyalties and skills on a more frequent basis. However, as we get to know and trust you...it will become less of an issue.

We are a pretty blunt group of guys. We like to PK, raid and conquer. We like to pillage and loot, but don't encourage exploits. We're not good at giving warm fuzzies and fake MMO medals on the forums. All we can promise you is fun and the possibility of joining a 10+ year MMO vet guild.

Empire is CLEARLY nobody's bitch, but just beginning their path to being a Lord of Death.

---------------------

Apok's Reply (Former SB Empire member turned full member):

As an empire member from SB the best things I can recommend are: (I'm sure there's more but these came to the top of my head first)

1. Keep your mouth shut on the political forums once DF starts. We have people whose job it is to be the public liaison and get our word out. LoD doesn't need a forum warrior to make a statement. We do so in game.
2. Speak up when the guild needs help. Lots of people got bounced for choosing to XP when we needed them. Remember guild > self. Plus, you'll get your levels and cool loot sooner or later anyway.
3. Don't try to be a hero. Listening to orders from the target caller either made or broke battles for us in any game. Organization is key to the success of this guild.
3. Kick it with us. You got our back, we got yours. LoD is a lot of fun. We recruit the best to be the best. Show your skills and what gaming talents you have. The rest will fall into place.

Of course these rules above are pretty much universally recognized by everyone in the guild. Just because I say don't do this and that doesn't mean that members, like myself, adepts, lord etc don't also follow suit with these rules.

--------------------

Roby's Reply (LoD Lord):

We don't really know what will be required, thats all being discussed, and will become apparent as we get into game, but it's not like you will be slaves. You will fight right along side us, reap the rewards of our victorys, and thrive off the fats of our lands.

I have no idea of the requirements for buildings, gear, regs, ect. But if we need 2 million logs and 1 million stone to build our castle than yes, there will proably be a requirement placed on everybody, not just empire. That's the whole point of Guild before self, everyone that is currently a Lord, Adept, or Member, has shown that willingness to put the guild before self and spend that 2 hours a week farming lumber rather than do what you want to do. It might seem harsh, but it's also alot of the reason LoD is successful, you gotta work together to get the job done. Everyone will be required to contribute, all the way up and down the rankings.

Now it's really gonna depend on the empire member individually what they want to do and accomplish. If for example we decide we need 5k logs from every LoD member a week, the donations will be tracked by whomever is in charge of that, if you are not pulling your weight you might get cut from the team, if you pull the 5k asked, nobody will bother you...however if you actually want to get into LoD and move up the ranks I would suggest donatiing the 5k + as much as possible, your contributions will not be overlooked.

And beyond that it will also depend alot on what you do with your time with us, example: lf someone that donates the minimum 5k lumber but is a phenominal PK and can ass tool everyone in LoD in a duel, and decides to spend most of their time ass raping our enemys in the name of LoD will be noticed and have a good chance to find sponsors and move up the ranks.

Example 2: Someone who rolls a healer class and shows up giving it their all at the required raids, events, ect. but is not a natural PvP master and spends the rest of his time crafting, harvesting, and generally being a nessicary backbone to the guild welfare will also be noticed, and sponsored and have a good chance to move up in ranks. The guys keeping us geared will have many friends amongst the guild.

Or anywhere between the two finding whatever balance suits you best 50/30/20 PK/Crafter/Forager...whatever you like. Obviously PK/PvP is truly the heart of our guild, and typically that's who fits in best.

Just general eagerness to help amongst the guild will be an important factor, how willing are you to drop what your doing and help out a guildmate in need???

There will be plenty of people that don't care to move up the ranks in LoD and just want to fight along side us knowing we are no non-sense so to speak, we don't like to loose, and we take this shit very seriously in the MMORPG department when we have a game we all stand behind. Those people will hopefully meet the minimum requirements from the guild and just have fun on the paintrain as it steamrolls through the DF landscape.

So yeah, it's all up to the individual empire member and what they want to accomplish with the opportunity given to them working with LoD.

LoD Fan-Boi's Flock To The Darkfall Forums

This just in, ATC is once again achieving wide-spread fame across the nation!!

Darkfall is just 2 weeks away and the minions of LoD fan-boi's are already surfacing on the forums.

Surly the retarded dwarf had this to say:

Haha, wait, no, you're not remembering your history right! You (Murdock) stole the 1m gold on the second day of release (so 1m was huge back then), and the most important part: You deposited it in our own bank right in front of us! lol, god... I've never stopped respecting you since that day. You even made a clean getaway.
