EliasThorne	Vanguard Market/Chat/map General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/26/06 6:32:19 AM Auction houses is a bit of a non-winner.. There will be either abbreviations for types of items for sale or the channel will be spammed with links, I suspect it'll be a nightmare to find anything :( I see the socialising thing, but there are times when I just can't be bothered or don't have the time as I'm rushing off to do something with my group.
EliasThorne	What is innovative and ground breaking in vanguard? General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/26/06 6:23:37 AM Originally posted by Dimitrio Dynamic weather system?, Maybe we are going to enjoy an mmorpg with a dynamic wather system. I missed that one and its the sort of little extra I love, any details?
EliasThorne	Checking for a Pulse General Discussion « Hero's Journey 10/25/06 11:13:37 AM An odd thing just happened over in the vanguard forum - a comment one of my topics came back with "But he posts and actually responds and discusses far more than any other dev" referring to Brad, I has about to respond with something along the lines of... HJ have great devs who always keep us posted... then realised I could no longer say that I'm sure that nothing has really changed, but at that moment I realised that one of the major draws for HJ was gone
EliasThorne	Cult of Brad? General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/25/06 10:14:03 AM Ah, a gathering of giffers Still I see a couple of votes for the greatest man to walk the earth, but no explanation yet... Maybe its like a mind-washing cult @Copeland - I'm not sure where you were going with that, you're making out like building up something then ditching it when its worth enough is a nice thing to do... yes its a wise thing, but fans don't like people who jump ship, but I've no doubt he'll say how good things were and if he had his way... etc etc etc... @Mrbloodworth - Very true Hero's Journey is trying new things, its just they're keeping low key - in fact very low key at the moment as they seem to be focusing on the engine they sold very the game itself at the mo (just my opinion) @Sturmrabe - I hope people don;t actually hate him, thats taking things too far surly! @hypersan - Oddly MUD is where HJ spawns from, but just how well will it come across to a graphical MMO - think about it how often have you heard someone say about a film - "Its not as good as the book"?
EliasThorne	Cult of Brad? General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/25/06 8:02:17 AM Hi all, I've no doubt this'll end up looking like trolling, but please will someone tell me why he's so revered? I get that some people have good ideas, I get that some people are rally good at their jobs, but this almost seems like celebrity worship! So someone explain why?
EliasThorne	YESSS General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/25/06 6:49:40 AM Yeah, the zombies are really nice :)
EliasThorne	Anyone else feel the same way? General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/25/06 6:40:46 AM I now how you feel BlackWhysper, thats a part of the reason why I can't commit 100% to this game. I just seems there are so many angry people involved in MMOs, it seems they don't have the wonderful life they think the world owes them so they immerse themselves in an alternate personality (whether in game or as a forum member) and just vent all over anyone they feel like as there is no social ramifications. It is a shame, but sadly its the way things are for now. There are a couple of extra ingredients with Vanguard as far as I can tell, there are the Brad followers who were drawn to it simply because of him (scary but true), there are the ones who feel betrayed by Sony and then there are the ones who don't really care about much, they just swarm to anywhere where they have a sizable audience and randomly attack people for fun (I suspect most of these people enjoy ganking but I have no proof). Its funny really I would love to love this game, but the vocal minority just won't let me and with so many alternatives out there now - many offering give or take many of the same features - it's just easier to go where its "nice", after all what sort of masochist seeks out conflict?
EliasThorne	Gonna Play it when it comes out? General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/25/06 6:27:39 AM I'm at about 80% likely to get it, but if theres a trial or if I'm lucky enough to land a beta pass I'll definitely give it a shot. The thing is theres so much contrasting information (whether some if its is simply lies or Brad bashers mixing things up I have no idea). I guess it comes down to if I get a play for free - even for just a couple of weeks - then I can make a real decision. And no I won't just buy it and take it back if its no good - that in my opinion is one of the most annoying things that a thoughtless MMO player can do to another as you use the key with the box, get the free month, decide after two days you don't like it, take it back, the next player comes along and has to fight with customer services for ages just to play the game they bought! Bloody annoying - DONT DO IT PEOPLE!!! Anyway I digress!
EliasThorne	Vanguard: Saga of Heroes: Halloween Screens News Discussion « General Discussion 10/25/06 6:16:18 AM That zombie's great - nice hangy rotty bits :D
EliasThorne	Vanguard HD video - Unicorn mount General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/23/06 7:03:50 AM Originally posted by thecandide gay That you coming out of the closet?
EliasThorne	Please, for the love of god. General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/23/06 6:59:51 AM Two points - in my experience (check my sig) a very late beta almost always is 90%+ of how a game is at release and since when can you get a refund on an MMO? Or was it you that stuffed up my Dark Ages code when I bought it a couple of years ago?
EliasThorne	Will this place be in the game? (link inside) General Discussion « Lord of the Rings Online 10/23/06 6:56:07 AM I'd be amazed if it wasn't!
EliasThorne	37 new Screenhots General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/20/06 7:33:10 AM Originally posted by Dimitrio http://www.veguild.org/forums/showthread.php?t=190 what you think now? I agree all those shots are very nice, which does make me wonder why there is such a difference, but did you notice one thing about every shot there... You don't see the feet on any of them, that is where you can see that they just don't belong.
EliasThorne	37 new Screenhots General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 10/19/06 7:16:12 AM It looks okay - the wavey hair is very good - but the textures on the terrain aren't too hot and the characters don't look like they're part of the world. Yes yes its a beta, WIP shot etc, but I'm guessing that won;t change too much. Still I'm on the fence with this one, I guess tim e and how flush I am when it comes out will tell.
EliasThorne	New Screenshots Posted (10/09/2006) General Discussion « Hero's Journey 10/18/06 6:11:07 AM Its nice to see something happening out there :)
EliasThorne	Thrones of Chaos: Game Returns to List News Discussion « General Discussion 10/09/06 6:44:44 AM Originally posted by Ammon777 When i actually preordered this game like years ago, they sent me an unlabeled CD in a black unlabeled case. They also NEVER REFUNDED ME for the malfunctional software on the CD. And now hearing that the project changes hands, i really dont trust them despite it. I will never associate myself with them and would rather play Darkfall Online instead. DFO is a far better PvP game anyway, and its not even in beta yet, and i havent played it yet. So... NO THANKS... I understand you not trusting them, and they have alot to proove, but you're one of the guys up for a free lifetime membership and entry into the beta - what have you to loose?

EliasThorne	The "online communities" General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 9/29/06 6:49:09 AM Well, I don't agree with the idea of OP, but theres no need to harshly shoot his idea down. The point of forums is to discuss ideas, so he has an idea, he posts it, it gets feedback and the amount and direction of the feedback gives the devs an idea how popular it will be. The problem is that the most active posters (probably including me) often suffer horribly from one sided self serving opinions with no intent on reforming them no matter how stupid thier original stance was! PS: Personally directeted comments like "Anofalye, I don't know how to spell it to you anymore: G O A N D F I N D A G A M E T H A T I S S U I T E D T O Y O U F F S" are pointless and add nothing what so ever to any discussion (and yes I do know the irony of singling him out to say don't single people out )
EliasThorne	Checking for a Pulse General Discussion « Hero's Journey 9/29/06 6:32:18 AM Lets hope so.. It's nice to know that it hasn't been put on the back burner while staff support the newly licensed engine, but the timing certainly is suspicious. PS: Love the "chirping crickets" line
EliasThorne	rumors and lies General Discussion « ArchLord 9/29/06 6:26:13 AM I get the "Still in beta" argument, but the way the industry has moved, ie using open beta as an advertisement for the game as well as for testing then developers surely would be better waiting until its good enough to be released. Also bear in mind that now that there are a number of MMOs to choose from a lot of people use beta to try the game before committing to it and if someone doesn't like a game when its "free" why the hell would they pay money on the off chance that the "final release" wand was waved over it and all of a sudden its great?
