FFXI subjob ftw. Being able to switch classes at will should be de rigeur for all MMOs going forward. Fuck alts. You should be able to play the class you enjoy most in a particular sphere in that sphere. Edit: of course you can always use a classless system of some sort too with the same result.

Yes. The Healer/DPS/Figher/CC are the result of current mob encounter archetypes. High Damage, High HP, More than 2 mobs. Add or change the mob encounter archetypes and you end up with new class archetypes. See my one example in the next MMO thread. We can add a Puller archetype by making...

Heh you called it.

Ellsworth it really has been said 1000x before. Go read other VG threads you will see the _exact_ same quote as you just used. Nobody really gives a fuck. I could say the exact oppositte of what you just said -- after playing VG I now can"t stand WoW"s look and you know what -- nobody...

2 am PST or in just under 8 hours.

Did you read the fucking post? The question was what newbie zone is better? You are telling me that newbie zones in other games are not forced and linear? GTFO. If you"ve done the quest line before you can swim off the island and do wahtever the fuck you want. The point is to introduce new...

I think we"ve made it clear that the mobs in the burning island Kojani newbie zone don"t drop anything AFAIK. Your purpose is to clear the quests to the next island -- lose your uber gear and then things proceed normally. The Tanvu newbie mobs will drop items though you are better off just...

No 2bit. Give me a specific fucking example of a newbie quest line in any MMO better than the Kojani human/half-elf. You"re the one saying it sucked -- so defend your statement. Or stfu.

Loot drops from mobs in VG. You could find this out by checking out the various VG databases out there. Thanks for playing.

What MMO has a better starting questline than the Kojani Human/Half-Elf newb line? I"d really like to know.

It"s in the game "tactics recongition" or whatever the skill is called -- was added last patch. Edit: Just read Nino"s post I guess they turned it off again.

Dude, you don"t play the fucking game you just bitch about on this forum -- why the fuck should anyone give a shit what you think? * * * How a problem with a game you don"t play could stick in your craw is beyond me. It"s borderline crazy bro.

Pot meet kettle. And you last played when? Edit: I like the new tag there Hiram. I feel the love.

Good to see you"re still trolling in VG threads Hiram. Glad you"ve finally stopped the "oh I want it to succeed even though I hate SOE" schtick and just given in to full on mindless raving. * * * I think I"ll go play a little more VG now. I feel like the kid in the candy store eating the...

I"m surprised you have to turn it all the way down. I have a shitty Go 6800 and I can run at higher perfomance with some non-default (that is better than default) settings -- e.g. further clipping plane, ,decent environmental detail and shadows (set in vgclient.ini). Check out some of the ini...

Dude, after you keep calling me out as a fanboy I went and read your old VG threads posts. Your posts either defend WoW against any criticism (I enjoyed your "WoW is best grouping experience evah" from 1-59 post btw that"s a keeper) or bring up any fact (no matter how unsubstantiated) that...

See the other thread.

It probably helps to look at the actual post. Vanguard US census - The Safehouse Forums Info is a week old and there are 160,000 sub-15 level toons. Edit: And yes Gaereth I"m aware that you too like to stick it to VG when you can and you were probably excited by the thought that numbers...

Good for you.

Dang and I was all set to get one and pass it to a level 1 shammy twink ;p Edit: So are you gonna make the final versions red? You have to admit the Axe certainly deservers it... We need more epeen!

I just hope they haven"t noticed that Adrid isn"t soulbound -- the only twinkable uber weapon in game right now (considering current player levels) ;p

Me too man. We"re sitting around crafting waiting to start the Infinieum quest (okay we"re also killing a lot of mobs -- but you get the picture -- the boys want their legendaries... eventually). * * * Nino, Awesome post -- thanks for still visiting the forums despite the griefers.

Absolutely!

Yes. VG Servers can handle a lot more than WoW. Not sure of the exact figure though as Sigil hasn"t released a number AFAIK.

Potential as in great game not as in 8 million accounts. No. Overall the content is very, very good. Not all of the content of course -- I still think a couple of starting areas area craptastic. But WoW has nothing like the Tomb of Lord Tsand weapons quest at the same level -- or any level...

I"m the first to agree that WoW is more polished. But more polished is not a synonym for better. It is a synonym for less bugs and more chrome. As has been stated approximately 1245x on this board VG PvE is a 90% unpolished group orientated game, WoW is a 90% polished solo orientated game...

So when are you going to roll your VG toon Itzena?

Useful huh ;p Delinates a complete break in thought and prepares the reader for what comes next. * * * Eh. The best thing (and the only thing I miss) about WoW are the BGs which AFAIK were always an afterthought. Vanguard"s PvE is to this point (lvl 22) incomparably better than the equivalent...

Here"s the lowdown on the major bugs currently plaguing Vanguard in order of severity (from player viewpoint). 1. Losing Mob LOS when two mobs interact or losing Mob LOS of large mobs in small rooms in dungeons.. Happens particularly on large mobs like the Trees in Ja"Kin Forest. You are...

You need a solid group to level consistenly -- but you can do a lot in 2 to 3 hours. And yes there is some group drama. That"s life. My group just spent the last three-four days in Jin"Ka Forest we now have three of the Tsang weapons (in addition to various other armor upgrades and etc) and...

Crap that reminds me need to mention the elevators on my miniguide at the vg site. The elevators are pretty amusing and hard to avoid ;p We simply relog and reform when necessary in the Tomb. I"m not sure how you can change the sword as their are people who want it as-is (helped a gaming...

defrag. setup static swapfile appropriate to your mem. And see the ini tweaks onVanguard Servers Community Message Board - Powered by vBulletinand hereMort"s Tweak Guide - The Cult of the Angry Goblin. This post isn"t super helpful but the link should have enough info for you.

Having a ton of fun dispite bugs... Memo to Sigil -- I"m going to keep using /stuck to get out of the Tomb of Lord Tsang until you guys fix that amazingly buggy place. Ban me for exploiting if you will -- but after the first 3 or 4 relogs and reforms on a run I"m just not willing to do more...

You don"t get it. I don"t care if someone doesn"t like Vanguard -- they prefer instanced to non-instanced combat -- they don"t like the combat mechanices -- they think i feels too much like EQ -- its still too fricking buggy -- whatever. I get pissed off at people who rag on a game that haven"t...

When was the last time you played the game? And I mean take a character to 15 or so not just 5 minutes in newbie zones. Seriously do you really believe you know what you"re talking about? I"m pretty tired of people who played the game in beta2 a year ago ragging on the game.
