    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Since I wrote that snippet, allow me to respond. That partial list, does not show, "What"s missing from Vanguard". I was asked privately to identify where a higher level player, could adventure so I rattled off, as best I could, the areas that were currently AVAILABLE, or COMING in the near...

    I wasn"t here during the first year when that decision was made.

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    As objective as I can try to be... A massive premium was placed on the "overall artistic feel and vision" of Vanguard. One way in which the large world helps, is by allowing for more gradual transitions from area to area to avoid sudden and jarring landscapes. I agree that the placement of...

    Yep. You do the best you can with what you have and try and come up with creative ways to bridge the gap. Money can provide choices and alternatives to problems, but it does not guarantee success.

    I"ve been fairly vocal about trying to get the animations improved and changed as needed. One of the things that people couldn"t stand was the "shout" animation that looked bad and lasted way too long. In the next art push we have six new "War Cry" animations of varying lengths and styles to...

    So, I finally fixed the wolf form howl. I had to duplicate the existing wolf and strip the "howl" sound from the model index. Sadly, it won"t get pushed until the end of the week with the rest of the art, but it is indeed "fixed". It used to be much worse when I accidentally flagged the howl...

    I"ve seen the plan for this, but we are not 100% ready to flip the switch. Remember last week when people were learning other classes" spells? We pushed ability learning live without enough testing and it went screwy so we had to turn it off. I believe it will go live again very soon; once we...

    To clarify... NOBODY is telling you to turn the sound off; certainly not in any official capacity. If you have sound hardware, the game actually runs even better. The problem is with low quality on-board sound that renders everything in software. No doubt, this will degrade your...

    I play on a x1800xt with 512mb and I have yet to crash in the two weeks we"ve been live. I play on High Performance or Balanced. I am not sure, but is something with HDR or bloom, or whatever causing you to crash? Try playing on a different setting, or check the task manager and see how much RAM...

    I empathize with you greatly and wish there was more I could do. We know we still have some bugs like this that are pissing people off and our response times are unacceptable. To be perfectly honest, I think some of the tools needed by the GMs to resolve certain issues are not functioning...

    Khal has been notoriously bad, as well as Lomshir and Hathor Zhi sometimes. Some of the issues have been resolved with shoring up memory leaks, but there are other issues. Khal is being debugged better today to try and find the source of the performance hit.

    So, I am back from the morning meeting(s). We should be patching tonight/tomorrow early am. There are a slew of good fixes for both code and content. Many of the issues related to the social server have had some changes made. There probably is NOT resolution on the elevator crap, but it...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    I will be the first person to agree that I do not like forced grouping. In fact, I despise it. I"ve soloed my live character up to 10 now, and I am having fun. However, where Vanguard shines is in small group/full group play, and I am fully aware of this. The interaction between classes adds a...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    A lot of those "stand out" features were tried, but honestly, WHY make harvesting this long convoluted process, where by the way, you could DIE by harvesting incorrectly, when its main function is to support crafting? It sounded good on paper, (to some people), but it was not fun; it was in fact...
