Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Those mounts have been around sence beta sony just fixed them up abit and stuck them into the patch , much like APW is something sigil almost had ready for the game and sony just finished it up and stuck it in the game

So where do you find all these bugs and broken quests cause its been quite awhile sence ive seen anything in vanguard that i would even consider a minor annoyance , in fact i cant even remember the last time i even ran into a bug and i play alot

No, those mounts were never in beta. The only mounts that was in beta were the flying mounts (griffon,Wyvern,Wyrm and pegasus). I never seen a Spider mount for Dark Elves in beta nowhere, and I been playing since they had inquisitor trainers in Hathor Zhi.

I think it's pretty good that they are adding things in the game,other than fi xing client code issues and such,butI think it is too late too little also. Conan,War and WOW 's expansion  is right around the corner and think a good majority of the people fiddling thumbs in the game will be hauling once they are out. I think I'll give Vanguard a good rest and return maybe in a year or two as my DRK,Pal and Necro aren't going anywhere (maybe I'll find love for it again once devs start thinking quality).

Theres a really ugly horde of stuff coming at us right now. The only decent looking racial mount seems to be the Highelf one. And maybe one of these Rhinos for a Lesser Giant, ok. All the rest - no thank you, I'll pass.

I like them all, they are unique.  I didn't like most helms, but I like all of these, and can't wait to see the animations.  I have high expectations.

Congratulations for wasting a ton of bandwidth for images that most of us have probably already seen before.

Its sure good VG plays is strength: that of diversity, which most other MMOs lack, like the many races and classes too. I guess it wasnt so difficult to make those beats into mounts. Didnt they say it was possible quite early in beta already and just didnt implement it? So tbh I dont feel it was SUCH a waste of long time as some say.

That particle thing sounds like the most interesting part, I always felt the magic animations are the most dull seen in a long time, I rly would like to see something in vids from this.

My bottom line still is, before there is no new character customization I wont go back nevertheless, among other things, but I still wish the game luck.

Errm, why would I still want to get an Unicorn or a Shadowhound now ?

Not only are these very long and rather boring questlines, most importantly they are SLOWER !

I.e. they are as fast as the level 30 racial mount, but much slower and less stable than the level 50 one.

Therefore I will get racial mounts. Unless they introduce another questline to get a level 50 unicorn or shadowhound.

I didn't think gu5 was out yet so how is it that you know how hard it will be to get a racial mount?  I guess you are assuming it will be easy to get.  I'm thinking that is probably not a good assumption...  The other thing to consider is that some people will want a mount for the coolness factor.  The shadowhound and unicorn are both very cool mounts ;)

Ok seriously,  I was a huge Vanboy through beta all the way upto GU4.  Then Sony moved in and officialy started their world.

Now I look at all the updates to the game, and I know why I quite.

Seriously,  they need to rename the game to something not VANGUARD, I recomend something like (INSTANT GRATIFICATION), cause this is no longer the vision Brad had, and only the beta players truely understand what has occured.

take a moment and think back, If you played games back in the days of EQ,  How many hours did you have invested into a character?  30days, 60days, 90days, possibly 100+ days.  Did you even see everything the game had to offer?

Now take a really breif moment and think about the most recent MMO's you have played..... Can many of you actualy say you have not seen everything the game offers in under 10days total play time?

There is a reason EQ is still kicking, and so many other MMO's have burned out, or are now collecting dust on the shelf.

Its sad to see what has occured.

Now take a really breif moment and think about the most recent MMO's you have played..... Can many of you actualy say you have not seen everything the game offers in under 10days total play time?

EQ2 =) I needed around 60d Playtime for almost 3500 Quests. Now I've only rare dropquests and raidquests left. But there is way more content than in the "famous" wow for instance...

Ah yes, Kilmar,  60days on EQ2!  Well Put bro!

And I agree WOW is kinda a freak of nature. Its a game based around instant gratification, simplistic play, and not much total land mass to cover.  However its success is amazing!

I think WOW did set a new trend for MMO's,  one that points in the direction VG is going.  Its dissapointing, but hey, these companies don't release a game for our enjoyment to be honest,  they release the game to make MONEY,  and there goal is to make ALOT OF MONEY.
