Okay -we have established that DarkWind is not WOW .
We have established that it is not a fast arcade bash either .
DW is turn based - every bullet and every armour point counts ( I really really mean that)
Vive le' Difference !
DarkWind is hard , dark and vicious .
There is nothing sanitized or controlled about DW. No resurrect sites, No uber Heal potions .
YOU will lose characters. YOU will lose cars , maybe whole convoys will never return from the waste .
“It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.”
And that is the evolving beauty of DW. The exhilaration of victory is immense when you know how much you could have lost. Your stable of cars and your accumulated gang members mean you will always have another chance. And the world is evolving in response to player behaviour and not the other way around - there was a significant upsurge in trader attacks by players and prices in keys towns spiralled out of control .This caused a round of player verses player fights, in turn a rise in bounties and availability of contracts .
The near future holds the possibility creation of a pirate haven and new extended trader caravan escort events.
There are structured leagues and races in the big towns , but the real meat of the game is in the wilderness. Pirates predate upon traders , bounty hunter search for pirates - Players can be any of the three parties.
The game is developing very fast , with massive player involvement. New chassis , new event and new weapons appear much faster than I expected. I found indirect fire weapons were causing recoil when fired ( and therefore amplifying inaccuracy ) .I made a request and with 2 weeks a handbrake was added ! Racer have great fun using it for bootleggers.
