Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

This game is not fun.

I cannot believe they can even sell this peice of junk. I got it today and I feel so... wow

I run a Windows Vista dell with a Pentium 2 Duo, 3 gigs of ram and a Radeon HD 2600 XT and blah blah etc etc widescreen nice clear LCD - WoW looks beautiful on it, esp when I am out farming and casting all my pretty little spells or in Raids with tons of pretty little spells and smooth like butter - it's a good computer and should run any current MMO easily with max graphics.

I install, goes smooth. Nice.

I crank up the graphics... hmmm, odd, but it could work. Make my character. Sorta nice, dislike the hairstyles a lot actually but it seems promising because you can change other things like facial features and body part sizes. But the system seems clunky.

I am still excited at the end of it. I make a shaman and she has an earthy vibe going on and I am excited to start a new game.

I think seems like a nice adventure game like Oblivion but better and online.

Apply brakes here

The game is second life but online with orcs and elves. But no, wait! The graphics are WORSE than second life and the lag is MUCH worse.

WOW

Somebody needs to flush this disaster.

I do not play VG, I left it bitterly disappointed after a long beta.  Our entire guild left a couple months after launch.

Given my bitterness with VG, I still find your post very unfair to VG.  If you find WoW beautiful, in the sense that it needs a great PC to display, I wonder how you will find VG worse looking.  You might need to figure out how to run it in Vista, I never have Vista.  I do know that VG has very acceptable graphics with a decent PC.  WoW, on the other hand, has a cleverly designed consistent line of artwork which works well on lower end PCs.  But to say ditch VG graphics using WoW, ouch ...

YA right... Wow is the best looking MMO out there, people that slag it are just bitter.

Wow has serious issues, other than raiding and PvP I don't enjoy wow anymore. I used to love leveling and adventure in the worlds Blizzard created, but I think for me it is close to reaching it's end raiding aside. Blizzard sure puts out one amazing game and I am looking forward to Starcraft 2 and the next MMO.

But Vanguard? I'll go back to Oblivion thank you. Vanguard is a joke.

It reminds me of Second Life but a twisted version with orcs. The graphics are that bad, anyone who says otherwise is either blind or a troll.

Oh yeah you are right.  I was trying to express my views, thinking its an honest thread.  Now I know better.

I just returned to VG after six months. I had played from beta for a bout six months. So much has been improved since i left. The group I've been playing with has been having a great time. Brotherhoods work quite well. But listen, to say VG's graphics are crap is a lie. I have a modest rig and i can play with most everything turned on. Compared to most other games VG is beautiful. EQ2 might come close. But WOW? WOW may have some high points but graphics are not one of them.

I returned to Vanguard a month or two ago after playing in beta and shortly after launch.

While the devs have made some improvements, overall graphic fluidity is still a problem.  There are stutters, pauses, etc etc.  Those playing VG and accepting these anomolies, more power to you.  The game does have its strong points.

To me, in the end, the glaring performance issues combined with the overall lack of interest in the game was the clincher for me.

That being said, I've been bouncing around from MMO to MMO for quite a while now.  None of the major players really appeal to me much anymore.  I've played them all, and they all are remarkably similar.

I agree, VG still has problems.  That said, its unfair to dismiss VG, saying that the graphics is inferior to WoW.

"express your views"....

Your "view" is basically calling anyone names who likes Vanguards graphics. Very open minded, enlightening and thought provoking of you.

You actually preempted insulted everyone who would even think to debate it with you.

Now, was there another meaning behind "anyone who disagrees with me is blind or a troll" that maybe we misunderstood?

IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GTFO
