how didn't this get funded?
Creator Josh on September 8, 2012
a shame that it dident get funded,but i have prepurchased the ultimate edition from you guys
hope you get enough to make add a bit of polish to the game!
Creator João Varandas on September 8, 2012
Such a shame this didn't succeed on Kickstarter. It just goes to show that quality, professionalism and hard work often don't suffice, but they do come a long way when it comes to loyalty. I had pledged 30 dollars, but having tried the alpha and seeing the potential this game has, I'll be buying the 60 dollar Ultimate version. I wish you guys and Forge all the best of luck!
Creator Dark Vale Games on September 8, 2012
@nick: When the campaign fails, you won't be charged. We've launched our direct pre-orders just a few moments ago to replace Kickstarter. You can pre-order and keep your Founder's benefits at: http://account.playforgewar.com/Products.aspx
(You haven't been and won't be charged for any activity here on Kickstarter for Forge, they only do that if the campaign reaches its goal with is impossible for us. You can cancel your pledge here if you are nervous about this in any way before pre-ordering from us directly without worry of losing access to the Alpha or other perks)
Creator nick on September 8, 2012
Awesome game btw
Creator nick on September 8, 2012
If the kickstarter campaign fails do i have to buy the game again?
Creator Dark Vale Games on September 7, 2012
@Maken X That sounds like you don't have DirectX 9.0c installed. Download that from your account page, install it, then try installing the game afterwards.
Creator Maken X on September 7, 2012
What should I do if I keep getting an error for the alpha saying D3DCOMPILER_43.dll is missing after reinstalling a few times?
Creator Miguel Campins on September 7, 2012
@micheal Yeah, it seems to do fine on Steam. Wich do not mean they will earn the money, and we 're far of the goal one day before the limit. As @Jalister points, they might have set a too high goal...
I'd personally want this game to be on Steam, since it will be easier to find a community to play. And with the game developed, I guess the 300k goal wouldn't be a must if Steam becomes its marketing platform. You know, Steam crazy sales and all that stuff. So Dark Vale will have to worry just about his servers and developing updates... You know, making the game bigger. Wich can be done as it gets acceptation on the platform.
And if they are really in need of money to make the game alive, they can always try to a free-to-play model and sell their DLCs for cash. I got experience with certain publishers whom do that and it is not a crazy idea.
Creator Julian Wiesner on September 6, 2012
This game looks pretty damn good. I was never a person who participated a lot in PvP in MMOs, but the polished art and concept draged me here. However, it is a shame that this campaign lined up with the release of a certain other popular title. I think that's why this isn't getting all the momentum it deserves. Dark Vale, don't be discouraged. You have something here. Just let the hype die down a bit and you'll see a lot of people looking for something new and fresh. I'll be watching the progress of Forge.
Creator micheal on September 6, 2012
i agree jalister... all we can do is spread the word and hope for the best
Creator Jalister-Eternal Champion of WoOS & OOoE on September 6, 2012
Shame this is still so far away from the goal. Forge has pulled in more dollars than two other similar style games on Kickstarter, but those made their goals since they were set lower. Of the three, this is the one I want the most.
Creator Ogaday on September 5, 2012
Anyone around to shoot some alpha today, Europeside?
Creator micheal on September 4, 2012
it looks like its doin well on sream greenlight from the looks of it its one of the top ones
Creator Skyla Grimes on September 4, 2012
Saw you guys @ PAX and had a great time playing your game. This is my first pledge on kickstarter and well worth it! Thanks for creating something so beautifully crafted and fun.
Creator micheal on September 3, 2012
so do u guys have a release date in mind
Creator micheal on September 3, 2012
daniel is right it is addicting
Creator Daniel Johnson on September 3, 2012
Game was fantastic at PAX. I think I just got you a few more backers! I hope the game does release as I'm already addicted, haha.
Creator Dark Vale Games on September 3, 2012
@Michael: Thanks so much for all you're doing, and for your support
@Bobby: Having our guys at PAX made an Alpha patch not really possible up to this point.
@Stwjester: We're not expecting greenlight to provide much push here. It's really going to come down to viral word of mouth for these last five days if something is going to happen. Thanks for your support!
@Evan: We're glad your'e excited! Thanks for your support
Creator Evan on September 3, 2012
omg i just got home dwnloading as fast as i can to play >< awesome!
Creator Stwjester on September 3, 2012
Hopefully the Greenlight will Push this in the last 5 days!!!
Creator micheal on September 2, 2012
i am also helping with google +
Creator micheal on September 2, 2012
lol i think i acctuly helping i have put a link and some stuff about the game on steam greenlight and it seems the money is riseing and im the current top comment so everyone is seeing it
Creator Bobby on September 2, 2012
alpha with a quick patch :D 1.001.
Loosing to 1v5 :(
Creator micheal on September 2, 2012
so after kickstarter is done well the alpha still be playable intill release..... that seems like it would make alot of fans happy or maybe like u told me that u guys were gonna move the alpha download to a new page.
maybe u should put it on ur site and make it free for everyone that way it would grab alot more attintion i would think... but what im really trying to say is well the alpha build continue intill release lol.....
Creator micheal on September 2, 2012
and i have a perdiction when this reaches the last 2 days im thinking u well see and amazing rise in money
my fingers are crossed
Creator micheal on September 2, 2012
wow make that 4 percent
Creator micheal on September 2, 2012
i would like to tell u guys that its getiing some great views on steam greenlight so far
and its competeing with the likes of slenderman source and that has 10 percent of the wanted positvie votes.
u guys are currently at 2 percent but it seems to be growing in time
Creator Dark Vale Games on September 2, 2012
@michael: Thanks for your support!
@WhyKillMe: Thanks for letting us know where you found us, and thanks for your support!
@Lolmacaroi: Yeah, it's looking like quite a long shot. Need a rather massive increase in the number of people backing to see it succeed. Thanks for your support
@Visitant: That's true, the game releases either way, but it would certainly be a shame to see it end without reaching its goal. Hopefully we get a nice uptick in last minute word of mouth, and thank you either way for your support
@Trent Boyd: Only an Alpha issue, thanks for your support
@Sanzabar: Thanks so much for that, hopefully everyone that has pledged takes up the cause. If every pledge only managed to bring in one additional backer, we'd hit the goal in no time at all. Thanks for your support
Creator Sanzabar on September 1, 2012
Backed and have streamed footage on my twitch.tv/sanzabar account and put links on my page- may make a background as well to pump this up for final days! Loving it- I will actually put GW2 down to push this the next week:P and at some LanParty events coming up. Greenlighted on Steam and will put a link on my page as well gogogogo everyone push it!
Creator Trent Boyd on September 1, 2012
can i ask about the user names I rather like having a _ in my user name is there a reason i can't have one ?
Creator Visitant on September 1, 2012
@lolmacroi even if it doesn't meet the goal it just sets back future xpacs / dlc and classes, either way the game will be released
Creator Lolmacaroi on September 1, 2012
Its a real shame if the game doesnt meet his goal... :( But the truth is that there is only 7 days to go, and the game is not even near his goal...
Creator WhyKillMe on September 1, 2012
Found you through steam, backed 15$ :)
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012

and i know that even if this game dosent get backed u guys well still release it one way or another
u guys well make ur money on this game dont worrie about that it just need more advertisements
ill be telling people about this game to help out..........
Creator Josh on August 31, 2012
I'm sad that we're not even close to our goal. Where are all the good peoples. This Game NEEDS TO BE FUNDED like yesterday ;)
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
@dark vale games i have fixed the issue it just ended up finishing the download eventually
so i have played it and the game is good so far alittle issues but its alpha so its understandable
Creator Dark Vale Games on August 31, 2012
@micheal - We're still investigating this issue that some of you guys are experiencing. Most likely if we can't solve it by next week we'll switch the location of the download and see if that'll improve things. We'll keep you posted on that front once we have more info.
Creator JunkRobot on August 31, 2012
I like games where you don't have to spend a lot of time developing characters but can jump right in and get going. This look promising.
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
it did it again i give up
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
sorry for blowing up the comments but at this moment i have now went to the forge file location and deleted everything and i have now put it back on to my pc and its now starting the download over so hopefully it well work
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012

maybe it sur last update or something and its haveing trouble downloading it
idk
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
i really want to play ur game ive been excited for this game for awhile
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
i have done everything i deleted took forge of my pc then put it back on but it still remembers my last download and kepps doin the same thing help me i have no options
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
im haveing a huge problem i have downloaded most of the alpha then it stops at 0.28 bytes and then it says
reliable source serving corrupt data........... now what the heck do i do this sucks
Creator micheal on August 31, 2012
@stephen i had the same problem but now im downloading so just keep messing with it and u should get through...... hope this works
Creator giles on August 31, 2012
just pledged 60. really hope this reaches it's goal. we need to get more people to spread the word. It seems that not everyone realises this is a kickstarter project. If it doesn't succeed will the release still be in 2012?
Creator Dark Vale Games on August 30, 2012
First, sorry that responses are taking longer than usual. We're at PAX, which means lots and lots of time spent setting up and talking with people that come by. Doing our best to keep up with it all!
@Jonathon: We don't have a date for the OSX client at this time. Sorry, and thank you for your support
@Jalister&Jason: Thanks for the help getting the word out and support!
@Martin: Thanks for your support, every pledge matters
@Kevin: Your money hasn't been taken yet thankfully, so your card will be as though you never pledged should the KS not reach its goal. Thanks for your support!
@Michael: You'll get the key sent to you through KS messaging which I believe sends you an email. Thanks for the support!
@Stephen: Sorry about that. If you try a second browser, that problem usually resolves. One thing we have with the Alpha currently is that we can't have symbols or special characters in your password. if you change your password through the forum's profile management to one without those, it should work out. Thanks for the patience with Alpha blues and for your support!
Creator Stephen on August 30, 2012
Every time I try to enter my alpha key i get this http://i.imgur.com/Q0AG0.jpg
Then when I do what it says is says invalid login, but it's not an invalid login.
Help!
Creator micheal on August 30, 2012
i have pleged 15 so well the key be sent by email and well it contain the download
