I am not arguing against his views. I am arguing against his fanaticism, it is completely different.

This is not "based on screenshots and videos". Anyone who is not remotely retarded can predict that an MMORPG will have major shortcomings in certain areas. This isn"t being against the grain, being a genius, or being a visionary. This is "not being a retard". I am not advocating that everyone...

Prediction: The classes at release of arbitrary MMORPG will not be balanced, several people will roll the obviously overpowered class and complain about being nerfed. The raid loot of the next MMORPG will be underwhelming compared to loot you can obtain by grouping and will be tweaked...

I meant Utnayan, not Itzena, sorry if that wasn"t clear.

I don"t play Vanguard right now, I was in beta, played it, decided I didn"t like the PvE, I am holding for the launch of an item-loot PvP server and might check it out, since I absolutely want to play a non-instanced PvP game where competition for spawns will be relevant. Everyone should make...

The mental image of Utnayan slavishly hitting refresh on this board and cursing to himself that he couldn"t flame Brad on this board was amazing. You have some very very serious psychological flaws. Do you have bullseyes with Brad"s face painted on them in your room?

You are seriously dumb if you think you can judge a game by what hugely biased people post about it on a message board. I am not defending Vanguard, I tried it on the PvE servers and didn"t like it, I might give it a go if an item loot PvP server comes up, but if you think you can get a...

Why? Seriously, are you suggesting that WoW was too much fun without the tedium so people now won"t stand a slight bit of tedium? Seriously, that"s a horribly stupid generalization that people who won"t put up with pain are "not worthy" of playing MMORPGs

Actually, cutting the community forums was a great idea, since it became pretty much an echo chamber of people frustrated that Vanguard didn"t conform to their vision, and you seem to be unhappy you cannot be on their boards bitching up a storm. Negativity breeds negativity, and loudmouthed...

Excellent post Brad, and I am very very thankful for you posting this. I want to ask a very specific question though, which you may or may not want to answer. Originally, in the earlier Vanguard betas, Sigil"s stance on solo advancement and how hard a game should be was completely different...

Tagad, since you are lurking here, and I had the impression that this was something that bothered you personally as well, could you adress the topic of feedback on beta boards? Personally, I found the discussion there very very useless and just stopped going there. I was curious if you felt...

This was incredibly annoying, I always wondered why whoever was directing marketing would allow Brad to do this. You"d get screenshots carefully given to fan-sites, then Brad would spam 10 screenshots clearly not fit for showing to players on this board. I am sure the man is good at what he...

Heh, everything looks so good on paper before you get to work on the technical stuff right? I suppose this is why there are a bilion arm-chair developers with their little visions, and fewer Gallenites/Pardo"s/McQuaides that can actually implement it. As for the technical back-end; pick...

Kendrick, my base disagreement is that I think the idea of a separate PR person vs developer is a failure at the get-go. I would much rather receive sporadic communication from a developer who is busy with the inner-workings of the class and who can explain in detail why certain decisions...

Get Gallenite please for the love of all that is good.

His point is that it is easy as hell to attack someone that has actually gone forward and done something, while you get to sit in the luxury of internet anonimity and give your monday morning quarter back opinion on shit you never have done or never will. Brad has done some pretty shitty...
