A few things you could do with the Heirloom system in regard to Faction : 1 - Purchasable account-bound items that you can use/turn in that give large amounts of faction. These are only buyable if you are at X level of faction (Bonus : Money sink) 2 - A fraction of all faction gained is...

That"s fine if you don"t want to craft. Ideally, tradeskilling will be completely independent of adventuring; pretty much the complete opposite way that WoW does them. Why should you rely on anyone other than yourself at all? Why shouldn"t you be able to be the best of the best while playing...

I"m going to throw this in here just because. Please implement a thorough, fun, useful, fully fleshed out tradeskill system. I could go on and on and on (and on and on) about tradeskills, but I think it"s relatively safe to assume y"all are skimming these posts, so I"ll just throw out the...

Though he"s probably not reading this train wreck anymore and despite not wanting to sound like an ass kisser, I wanted to say that I think Grieg"s was one of the best single group dungeons I"ve ever been in. Mobs appearing differently to different players, random immunity, etc., made me love...

Other posters covered it pretty much. He posts like an angsty 15 year old that you"d expect to see over at gamefaqs. Rational and sensible posters (kcxiv, a few others) are needed to balance the constant stream of anti-VG venom. What isn"t needed is people just blurting juvenile drivel.

I"m glad Morderick is posting now. There was a gaping hole for a raving Vanboi since Tad got booted, and he is filling it nicely. Thanks, Mord! Graphic-wise, LotRO kicks the shit out of VG. Not only does it look far better, it runs better as well. The only thing VG has on that front is the...

Sadly, I have to agree. Every time a tiny smolder of interest forms for VG, xregg posts SS"s and that flame is quickly snuffed out. Gameplay is king and all, no doubt, but does anyone seriously think those look good? What I really don"t get is how LotRO looks far better (IMO!) and still manages...

On my BE Paladin, I did a few instance groups for fun and even turned down a few invites. Keep in mind this is right after BC launched (and I was far ahead of 98% of the rest of the Blood Elves,) so most were in Outland or leveling their BE. I"m also Horde on a PvE server; ie, low pop. As for...

First off, I"m not talking about gameplay at all, just graphics. Secondly, I realize that you can"t expect the best graphics in an MMO for many reasons. This wasn"t what I was getting at, but can understand the confusion. Here is why I asked. The thing with VG for me is it shoots for...

I have a serious question for the people who like VG"s graphics. Have you played for any real length of time (actually played, not walked by a guy who had the icon on his desktop) any non-MMOs with more realistic graphics; ie Dark Messiah, Oblivion, Half-Life 2, Prey, Battlefield 2, etc.? The...

Wow, this thread turn into a fanboi retardfest really fast. I love how at LEAST 3 people are bashing on Rayne without even reading what he wrote. Then one person accuses him of backtracking because others missed the part where he clearly stated the he had finished the newbie island. Fantastic...

Sounds like when I made a female character in Oblivion. First thought was "LAWL H0T CHICK INC!" That goal quickly dropped to "Make a female who doesn"t look like she is cursed by years of inbreeding." I failed. She uhh... had a good personality though... despite shooting arrows into people"s...

What"s funny is I look at Vanguard in the same way. People post these shots of "OMG look how beautiful" and I wonder if maybe the awesome screenshot is hiding behind the Poser shot. Both from screenshots and actual play, the world and it"s inhabitants (barring a few exceptions) are bland and...

And that"s how it should be in an MMO. While you should be able to see some occasional nifty stuff solo (like the newbie Draenei totem quest,) most developer time and effort should be spent on things that require a group IMO. I agree that most things you do solo don"t need to be extraordinary...

But why does it need to be forced grouping? Why take options away instead of giving them? Soloing should be an option for all classes. Sometimes you don"t have long to play. Sometimes you don"t get a group right away. Sometimes you just want to play without dealing with the hassle of...

Because it"s fun? Some people (see above) need to be all but forced to do something in order to do it. You don"t always need some carrot dangled in front of you to do something. Some people will do things if not onlybecause they like to do it.It"s a safe bet that the people that bitch that they...

If I didn"t like his style, I would have said so. I don"t like David Bowie"s style, but I think he"s a talented person. From the books I mentioned above and which were raved about by fans, I consider him to be not very good. It read them as a fanfic about someone"s munchkin character. Maybe he"s...

Ugh, Salvatore. Did he get better after the Dark Elf Trilogy? I read Exile and Sojourn which were (IMO!) no better than half the fan-fic out there (emo munchkin character included.) After that, I couldn"t stomach the thought of reading more of his angsty, repetitive, totally predictable writing...
