wayfarer May 29, 2007 Share wayfarer Member May 29, 2007 This looks like a good MMORPG. Anyone try it? Vanguard Sega of Heros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon May 29, 2007 Share Allanon Member May 29, 2007 It's ok... I was in the beta for a while but did not care for it too much, however... If you really want an immersive RPG which requires lots of time and is very rigorous then Vanguard is a good choice. There are however numerous bugs, though supposedly it's a lot better then it was at launch. It does require a beast to run at high settings, but it looks really nice. While I don't want to come off sounding like I have a grudge against SoH, the fact that Microsoft dropped it because the lead developer, Brad McQuaid who recently left Sigil and layed off about 50 employees could not meet the timetables and instead SoE took over made me a little irritated. As anyone who has played EverQuest, Planetside, or Star Wars Galaxies can tell you, SoE normally mishandles games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenger May 31, 2007 Share Kenger Member May 31, 2007 I was actually really excited when Microsoft decided to back this game and provide funding, but i heard SOE took it over and decided it would go to crap like the other SOE games sadily this game could have been something else if the developers weren't lazy. I think EverQuest had a lot to do with corrupting the developers, but they were among the best in mmo backgrounds, but microsoft wanted something to compete with World of Warcraft so i can see why they stopped funding the game.

wayfarer May 31, 2007 Author Share wayfarer Member May 31, 2007 (edited) I picked this up. Gonna try it for a bit. So far the game is very dynamic, the details of this game makes WoW look like tetris. Graphics & sound are awsome. The download time for the game is very long, however, and the server population seems a little sparse. The game is brand new though. If it survives long enough for them to clean it up a bit, and to get some people in there, it looks like it will be a fantastic game.

wayfarer June 2, 2007 Author Share wayfarer Member June 2, 2007 Name - Valinda Server - Woefeather Continent - Thestra I'm a high Elf. If you want to hook up DK & I are around the city of Leth Nurae. I have no idea how difficult it would be to hook up if you start as another race, this world is gigantic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer June 3, 2007 Author Share wayfarer Member June 3, 2007 (edited) Scuba, myself, and Dknight, another buddy of ours from WoW, started really getting into this game last night. I was told that there are no instances in this game. however, with Scuba, and Dkight at level 11, and myself at level 12 we had already experienced 3 complete dungeons. The third one we are on is by all accounts, other than party seperation from the game, a full blown instance. The flow of gameplay was quite enjoyable and the graphics stunning, (even though my AGP X850 XT is chugging along on the medium low setting!) The music is an absoloute treat, harminous fantasy in towns and open fields, dark and ominous in the deep dungeons, and heart pounding & epic during battles. Dknight & myself picked up our first mounts at level 10 for a measly 12 silver. Really good armor & weapon drops in the dungeons of this game too, all three of us getting at least one good item from each dungeon, more often two or three. Having really just entered the second zone, we were completely amazed at the sheer magnitude of this game. Customizable UI, ingame co-ordinates, and minimap markers make navigating this behemoth of a game an absoloute joy. If there is a game out there that will pull me out of WoW, this is it, without a doubt. Edited June 3, 2007 by wayfarer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenger June 3, 2007 Share Kenger Member June 3, 2007 so u want a tank or a bard? im gonna play paladin / shadow knight / or a frutie bard who sings melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon June 3, 2007 Share Allanon Member June 3, 2007 Bards actually do quite a lot of damage, at least the one I played during the beta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer June 3, 2007 Author Share wayfarer Member June 3, 2007 (edited) Looks like Breydon is coming too. He said he was looking at a paladin. Either way I guess we could use a tank. Another healer would be good too. I don't know how much undead there are in this game, but clerics are awsome against them. I would'nt be opposed to another cleric either.

JackieChan June 4, 2007 Share JackieChan GC Alumni June 4, 2007 (edited) I'll tell ya, Way, I'm tempted. Very tempted. Not sure if I want to play the whole catch up game again though... *edit I figured I'd try it out... Won't hurt me. If I don't like it, no harm done since it's a free month.

wayfarer June 4, 2007 Author Share wayfarer Member June 4, 2007 If you guys want to hook up then make sure your the same race. If theres 2 of you getting to lvl 10 is a breeze. Less than a day IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan June 4, 2007 Share JackieChan GC Alumni June 4, 2007 (edited) I'll meet ya in game, Way. Hope it's as good as you say it is... might replace WoW if it's really that fun because WoW seems more like a chore to play now. ugh, I probably won't get in for another hour or so because it has to analyze files before I can play...
