Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Hello all.  I recently purchased Vanguard for 20 dollars at my store, and currently I am enjoying myself greatly! Here's a small writing on my thoughts of the game so far:

Community- The community is great, I must say.  Any time I had a question, people were always there to help.  Without them I wouldn't have found my map for who knows how long!

Quests-  So far I am not far along in the game to really say, but so far they're not very interesting.  I am hoping that while I level the quests get more interesting.

Graphics-  Beautiful.  The settings are easiuly adjustable, and within ten minutes it was running EXTREMELY smoothly.

Overall-  So far I am enjoying the game.  I am currently a level 5 monk, and am beginning to get the hang of the game.  I am doing all of the quests I can find; to improve gear and make a nice profit. The only problem is i'm rather lonely, as it seems I am a quiet part of the game Here are some screens of my journey thus far. 

65% Event.observe($('fullSizedImage'), 'load', function(event) { pageTags.addTagListToImg('fullSizedImage', [ ]); });

Glad you are enjoying yourself m8.

I see from your screenies you are on Kojan. Kojan can be a lonely place, the least populated of the starter areas, which is a shame. It's a beautiful part of the game world and I always loved the intro quests for the Far eastern looking humans and half elves.  If you feel like a change of area grab a rift to the other main land masses. To find which rift is nearest make the macro below.

Right click an empty slot on the hotbar. type this below.(I'm sure this is the command. ask in chat if you have problems)

/togglewindow Vanguard Riftway system

This will bring up the riftway system map. It only costs 25 copper to use the low level rifts. Travel to the nearest one and port to one of the other main lands. Groups will most likely still be thin on the ground, but this is down to the low level population being scattered around all the starter areas., but you should see more people running about, OOC chat is busier etc.  Once you hit the mid teens to the low twenties people merge to the most popular quests lines like Hunters League and CIS in Qalia and grouping starts to be more common place.

"The community is great"  lol thats because there is 4 servers.  You have no choice but to get along or play by yourself.   I played VG since release for 3 months. I have played VG 3 times on seperate occasions since release.  Good luck.

Edit: Sorry mike470, did not mean to hijack your thread.

And there you have the reason why I quit my recent foray into V:SoH.

*  Large Empty World
*  Static, lifeless NPCs
*  Boring Quest Lines
*  Few other players

Oh well.

Glad you are enjoying it.  Yes, there is no better game community as far as I'm concerned.  I think the depth, complexity and challenge of Vanguard attracts more vetern MMO'ers and as such, we end up with a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful community.

The quests get better and down-right addicting as you level.  At lower levels, the quests are more straight-forward and work at setting up the lore of the area that you are in.  At mid to higher levels, the quests become more interesting, lenghty and offer better rewards.  The are also 'hidden' quest lines that you only find through dialogue and following the text closely.  Often over-looked because folks get used to their quest journal and follow way-points etc.

Kojan is rather large and spreadout and most people leave that continent around level 15-20 to go to either Qailia or Thestra.  When you get to the 20 quest areas and beyond is very easy to pick up groups. 

Sorry to bother you all, but I am stuck on a quest and it's driving me crazy

I am currently doing the monk quest which makes you pick from positive or negative jin.  I picked psitive and then walked away for like 20 seconds, and then I realized something was supposed to happen.  I have been standing there for around5 minutes, and still nothing is happening.  Do I just abandone it and start over, or do I just not finish the quest?

Thank you

Mike,

Just abandon the quest and take it again.  When you go up and choose, give it a bit of time.  It goes through a summoning process, then an NPC will appear.  When I did it, the summoning went on for about 30 seconds.

Hope that helps!

From the screenshots it looks like another generic wow clone.
