Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)
- Thread starter TheYanger
- Start date
It's too plasticy and the texturing is awful. But the speedtree mod and the cloud/sky mod they purchased is pretty good.

I think this post quantifies why the majority of players here disagree with every post that you manage to drool out.qwerty_sl said:
The majority of players on this board have played MMO's and most have been playing since EQ. Yet, in every single one of your god-forsaken posts, you make the presumptive argument that it is the player's fault if they don't enjoy a game you yourself enjoy.
Making statements like, "Well, the game shouldn't cater to people who rage quit," completely ignores the fact that the game in and of itself created a wall between the player and the game.
You're immediate assumption, over and over again, is that it's the players fault they're not enjoying the game. Who are these games being made for again? Oh yeah, players. If the devs can't manage to involve players in their game within a reasonable period of time (I suppose it differs with every game/situation), then that's their fault and their game will die.
Get over yourself, monkey. Clearly you can type (pages), it's the thinking that eludes you.

Lol really in every post I do that? Not just one post ever? What color is the sky on your fucked planet?
What? It's almost as dumbed down as WoW, it's not a wall at all. Here is some retard who logged in after 6 years and couldn't find his weapons, and yet didn't check any of the places where they might be. And then he comes on here and bitches about how it let him down. No, you let yourself down. If you want a game that is 100% instant satisfaction all the time and no mishaps ever, and it never requires you to actually do anything for yourself, then play WoW or one of the other million dumb fuck games for dumb fucking whiny bitch children like you who live life thinking the world owes them something.
I made that claim once, and it's true. It's analogous to me buying myself and expensive wrist watch to cheer myself up, then shoving it deep up my ass and complaining when I am unable to tell the time.
Yes players, ie, people who actually play. Not log in with tears in your eyes and sand in your pussy, just looking for an excuse to give up.
Go and play connect 4 you simple minded cunt.
How populated of a game are we looking at here? I purchased it at launched and quit shortly thereafter. Would I still be able to find groups?

the first tip i will give you is ignore qwerty. as far as grouping yes you can get group pretty easy for kedgors end at mid late teens. vol tuniel early 30s, some thelaseen late 30s and tricksters in early 40s. also alot of graystone in late 30s early 40s. you level pretty fast so you wont really do alot of samey level dungeons

I can only take so much of his mental finger painting. Dude completely dumbs down the discussion.
Pro tip: concision.
How do I dumb down the discussion? Read the previous page. It only went bad when you showed up. Again, read the words on the page, stop living in denial. And grumbledumb, please do ignore me. I know more about this game than anyone on this forum and I would hate to think a stupid little dumb bitch like you who can barely even type, would get any benefit from what I have to say.

Producer Letter - Changes to Free to Play and Membership Benefits!
Posted On 01/17/2013
Greetings all!
I thought it was about time to update everyone on what's been happening on the development side of Vanguard?. As the team returned from the holidays, we started working on fixing more of the low hanging fruit. The fruit I refer to are the bug fixes that players have asked about that we can get out quickly as we work on larger tasks in the background. Some of these things include fixes for quests, spells and abilities, and epic weapons, as well as making it take less time to earn rewards from some of the major factions in the game. There has also been some work done on crafting and diplomacy that we aren't ready to release details on yet, but we will be telling you about them in the near future.
Speaking of larger tasks in the background, we have been working on something that has come up multiple times in threads on the forums. That is, how do we make it even easier for people to come back to Vanguard to see all the changes that we've been making? Well, after a lot of discussion and debate, we've decided to do something pretty awesome. We have decided to expand and improve on the free- to-play offering for Vanguard. That means everyone can play any race, any class, to any level for free. You can also own a house, create guilds, and do a bunch of other things. Why did we decide to do this? Because we all believe that once you start playing the game without restrictions, you'll want to keep playing and will find our Membership option to be an even greater value!
Why?
Because of the perks we are adding for your membership! Membership should be something you get on top of the game you are playing, not something you have to do to have fun. With that said, there will be increased XP and faction gains, discounts on broker fees, the ability to purchase additional housing plots, and other exciting benefits. You can see all the membership benefits here.
Talk to you all again soon and see you in-game!

They should have knew that Extra Bag Slots would be very important in retaining customers.
Heheh. Well the class thing is a really great thing. So many brilliant classes were not playable unless you pay. And a lot of people just sample games like this and refuse to pay until they get really hooked. And yet... there's smaller chance of them getting really hooked if the class they might most like to play is locked to them. The whole thing was just silly. So were race restrictions. I think it's pretty damn generous now, and it's how it should be for Vanguard. The population is so low, even a bunch of freeloaders playing 1-50 without spending a dime is worthwhile 
But I am sure that once most people get in the 40's, they will start spending to wear yellow gear and whatnot. I did.

Can't believe this game is still around. I played at release for a couple of months. Diplo was pretty awesome. Wish it was it's own stand alone game.
