13 years later I'm still waiting for an upgraded Holy Partisan of Underfoot...

Regretting getting rid of my old gaming PC. The wait for this to hit the PS3 is going to be interminable.

It's weird. I look at those videos and I'm excited by what I see but more from a feeling of nostalgia than a feeling of entering something totally new and unexplored. I see familiar enemies, paladin AF wearing mithra (or whatever they're called now), and very familiar zone design. The clip in...

I stopped wishing for them after I received a Vanguard beta invite. That sure taught me.

Loved my VG necro despite the slew of little bugs like pets vanishing on zoning. That quest you did where you had to choose between wraithform and skeleton was pretty awesome I recall. Did all classes have a similar mid-level class quest chain like that?

Fill your boots. I just have to listen to the Gustaberg theme tune and I'm an onion sword away from a Quadav gang-rape all over again.

You reminded me ofthis threadthat was floating around in VG's early days. The crux of the discussion was the game was designed for the top end machines on the market at the time and the expectation was people would upgrade to play. I vaguely recall Brad stating a $2k figure for what would be...

Closest I've seen in an MMO is FF14.

Just watched this Extra Credits clip today, seemed relevant.

I feel like I went back in time and read one of Brad's posts regarding Vanguard while it was in its infancy. Personal feelings regarding SOE aside I'd truly love to see them deliver something amazing but painful experience has taught me otherwise where hype like this is concerned.

/guildwar If only it had ever worked.

Demon's Souls. Advocates of the game say it's challenging, I just found it to be a ball-ache to play with awkward controls and overly punishing on recovering from a death.

I liked his comment about the moon facing at the end. Stuff like that - the lack of definitive clarification on game mechanics - ironically endeared me to FFXI. In a genre that has been dominated by min/maxers it's refreshing to have some unknowns out there.

It was unfixable. More powerful PCs can compensate for some of the performance problems but the underlying issues are still there.

Happy to see Aakla is still among the top warriors.

Go to Magelo, pick warrior, sort by highest HP, job done. Realm of Insanity on Xeg. Probably also worth mentioning Crimson Tempest on Drinal.

It could be argued EQ implemented that with LDoN.

It's predictable I know but... this thread could turn it around for Vanguard!

I doubt the current generation of MMO players would stump up $2800 for a BoC or SoD.

Equally there are bad players at the other end of the spectrum who just go balls out and get themselves killed. They make tanks, healers, and decent DPS jobs life a misery. From an FFXI perspective roughly 90% of Rangers and Black Mages but in that game part of the problem was the threat...

I'm guessing it's wildly optimistic to expect them to implement different rule servers like SH and FV rather than shitting up everywhere with micro transactions.

This is an opinion I've shared for more than a few years now and short of some fabulously wealthy MMO player stumping up the funds to develop a niche MMO and run it presumably at a loss - if a respectable expansion cycle/level of dev support is to be expected - then the majority of us are going...

To be fair, FFXI had even more roles than EQ. Tanking alone you had turtle tanking with paladins, avoidance (blink) tanking with ninjas, and additional situational builds depending on jobs, such as back-tanking mobs with damage shields on Dancer. You had red mages who could heal, debuff, nuke...

My intention was always to pick this up on the PS3 to play with my old FFXI friends but after the initial awful launch I figured that would never happen and, if I'm honest, I didn't much mind after seeing the previous version of the game. Now, I'm quietly anticipating the release and if I enjoy...
