Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Vanguard... despite my regular ranting I had hoped, and I clung to them. Somehow I really had hoped they would work to bring "soul" to this game, which it so sorely lacked. But no glamorous title of being "The Legendary" can pay me off for the balderdash of GU4. What a farce.

For me the customization always was important, and now... its behind even some F2P games!

All characters I had worked so meticiously on their looks seem like chubby ken/barbie clones. I was really pissed when I saw HOW many sliders they took out.

VG has some damn good classes, many races and a big world, which is all good. But in one year they NEVER worked against the sterile atmosphere, the lack of "soul" and made this world more "alive". Its a matter of feeling, where it always lacked and VG never did a single step to work on that. Instead they take out customization, add the most ugly helmets I have ever seen and make MORE skill juggling.

For me its the final blow.

Funny, it is the first time in MANY years, since I started closely after SWG launch, that I am totally without any SOE game. Finally salvation from evil? Heh, who knows. I didnt lack patience. Time and again I gave them the credit of doubt and my credit card, but enough is enough. They can have their plastic worlds for themselves. Its a pity, I see the potential of their games, seriously, but they really, really managed to srcew ALL of them. What a waste...

LOL, so you have finally seen teh light, oh praise him one and all ;)

And again, misinformation has led to false conclusions, just as concerning the dismounting and buffing issue.  Characters and their looks including customisation are being revamped. This was only a first step, customisation options will be added in future patches.

And funny thing is, most didnt even notice that their characters have lost a couple of bones in their faces because even from a closer distant, you dont see a difference (unless you zoom in really close). Nevermind though.

What would be nice for all of us who are worried about this aspect of the game or for new players thinking of starting, would be a few honest before and after screenys so everyone could see the difference if any :)

Talk is just that, Talk. But lets see some references that we can judge for ourselves if the changes are horrendous or slight.

I totally agree with you Elikal. Again, again and over again I have given them the benefits of the doubts, and access to my credit card. But people can only take so much.

No more SOE

No problem, as I dont have time as I'm in the office I'll try to post some pics here on the week-end.

I really love people that level up a character to level 14 in a few days, and then write ten page long review about how much the game sucks.

Thanks friend! i still have my game installed and was going to give it a week for gu4 to settle then try again. The screenies would be more for newer players realy so they can actualy make thier own mind up rather than listen to how horrific the changes are :)
