Darkfall: Unholy Wars: Clan Markets, Masks & Weather Effects Incoming

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

The latest patch notes for Darkfall: Unholy Wars have been posted. Of particular not is the inclusion of the new Clan Markets where clan members can exchange goods with one another or, alternatively, clans can set up the group's holding into a trading center. In addition, Darkfall: Unholy Wars now sports realistic weather effects to lend a deeper feeling of immersion to the game.

Clan leaders have the option of opening their individual market buildings to allies, non enemies or even everyone and have them enjoy the same benefits as the clan members. If only clan members have access to the market, individual member permissions will also come into play. In the case of catastrophic events, like the holding changing hands, all market orders are expired forcibly unless another clan building market that belongs to the clan still stands. On that note, a market building that has been damaged enough to reach the deactivation state is not accessible by anyone but order timers still tick away normally.

Check out the rest of the patch notes on the Darkfall: Unholy Wars site after watching this nifty video about clan markets.

    It'll be a nice addition to see clan markets and improved weather effects but the main aspect of this patch are bug fixes. As far as we know, the economic overhall and territory control changes coming soon afterwards, which should completely redefine the end-game and player conflicts.

    If they would have just said weather effects, I wouldn't have posted. But for them to say realistic and glorify those crappy weather effects, I must point out that they really suck big time.

    They probably specifically said realistic weather effects because they recently added weather, but it didn't affect anything in the world. Now if it's snowing you'll have snow on your character, on buildings, etc.

     

    I think it looks great. Not sure how spoiled you'd have to be to say these "suck big time"

    Now many games have weather effects that actually change the terrain and player/monster models?

     

    In a PvP focused game like Darkfall, something as 'simple' as having snow camouflage your raid of players while you're about to attack an enemy city can be quite interesting, as there is no brightly colored nameplates floating over your head that otherwise would give your position away.

     
    This is mainly a bug fix patch however.

    That really does not look very realistic or impressive either. Best game, worst execution :(

    Tell me again, how are these guys still in business?

    Tell me an mmo that has better weather effects ..

    This patch seems nice, doesnt fix any of the current problems but gives a better atmosphere to the game.

    For those who are willing to give UW another try , i suggest you to do this after the territory patch.

    Because the game is incredibly fun. The pvp is one of the best in the business. Do you play the game?

    Another great incoming patch to separate Darkfall from the crowd.  After the first weather patch was put in, I was going to kill some black knights but it was night time and raining.  Really low visibility.  I see a person farming and I go in for the kill but it was the rain and dark that helped that guy get away.  The weather is already having an effect on battles.  Snow covering the ground, mounts, armour, etc will had a whole other layer.

    At 1:14 is that snow on the character's armor?

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    Yeah. The snow covered ships look cool too.

    Is that a first for MMOs or have there been other MMOs where snow does that?

    Mmmm I'm not sure. You'd probably have a better idea of that than I would. I can't think of another instance of it off the top of my head.

    Looks like the patch is going in today.  They also updated the patch notes to include a few other things like some new animations, and removing enemy clan markers above your head.

    This is basically the party lag fix patch, as far as I'm concerned.
