Returning player noob questions
General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 9/13/09 2:27:22 PM
Returning player here and I got a few questions: 1. Have dominant or for that matter undesirable classes emerged? If it helps I have a DK/armor smith and a rogue that really does not craft. |

Need your opinion on these two classes.....NECROMANCER and CONJUROR

I have not played in a good bit but can't you betray from one to the other? |

I am actually having the opposite experience, played EQ2 since launch and recently migrated to WoW. WoW just seems to have more to do & the community while full of little turds is on average better then the snobbish vibe I got form the folks over on the Everfrost server. EQ2 actually has extremely linear zone progression… too much so for me to be honest. I felt a little locked into what I ‘had’ to do and really appreciate the relative freedom of games like WoW and VSoH. Also RoK just left me exhausted and somehow sapped my will to play the game, I tried to play TSO but could not get myself re-excited and never really got into it. |

I know the off the cuff answer is "all of them' but I was wondering if there are classes that have a higher raid demand than others. I just started the game and rolled a rogue because I played a rogue in EQ2 as my first ever non tank and loved it. Before I get too committed to the rogue I would like to know if there are any non-healer classes that have a higher then normal raid demand.
Thanks, |

OK, I played EQ2 from launch and still do, kind of. My brother plays WoW so I figured what the heck at least I can chat with him and gave it a shot. I have been in WoW for about a month and where is my honest take: New player experience: Playability: Lore: Combat systems: End game: Raids: Leveling: PVP: PVE: Complexity: Crafting: Population: Take what you will from this hope it helps, and falme if you want I never bother reading it. |

FYI Curse client has beed causing my some pretty funky UI glitches when my inventory is open. You will probably want to bring down a most of your back ground applicaitons as mentioned earlier. |

the patch system is 100% crap, it feels like there has ben no effort to include content patches into the retail sets. Would be cool if it was one giant patch but I am apparently adding content patch by content patch.... /snore |

Returning to EQ2, I could use some convincing

I guess I should speak against RoK since it is getting so much love here. My problem with RoK is this: /end rant That said I really hope beyond hope that TSO is really a great expansion that brings this diverse game back into balance as opposed to the “/level_chat LFG for VoES, locked out of all the other instances that players actually go to under their own free will or I will just grind solo trash till I drown in my own drool” mess that RoK has turned EQ2 into. |

Thanks for the info. A bit of a downer, I really like the all in one concept but I guess Bliz has no need to market to noobs. anyone recall the time it took for the battle chest to hit the market after BC was live? Long story short my brother really wants me to play but I would prefer a 30$ investment over a $70 and am trying to go as cheep as I can |

I can not seem to find an answer to this question:
Is this an all in one expansion or will new players need to buy the three available games (or just the base and WotLK)?
Flame as you will so long as you can answer. |

Thanks for the posts. I am planning on picking up the expansion for this game and EQ2 and go with what ever one I like more for the next year or so. And to make matters worse VGSoH apparently also released new content... holiday marketing sweeps can be so sucky but in a good way. |

I am thinking of giving WoW a shot and was wondering what is a viable raid class that is not a complete mess to level grind and pvp? |
|

actually Tyres100 most of that gear was re-colored KoS gear. Looks like a mix of a caster class helm, the dragon lord plate and the funky scout shoulders from the really annoying instance that required mezzing a pile of mobs for a quick group kill. The only item that is really new to EoF is the sheild and posibly the sword... but I think they were NPC gear that tunred into PC gear in EoF. The problem with making new armor was in the original toon structures. Basically they are all different so each armor set had to be customed to each race/gender, or in short a real big mess. they tried to revamp the wire frames to make them uniform but the ersult was not well received. So, now they are workign on a point system that will with minor modification streach a standard armor set to fit each race/gender. Still a work in progress that ties to the original error in thinking that processors would become faster not multi cored. |

Lets hope... I do get the vibe it will be LDoN style. |

Was the voice chat worth it? CHIME IN HERE!
The Tavern (General) « Everquest II 8/07/08 7:20:10 PM
iT IS GREAT my only gripe is that you do not have a chat tree and that makes it hard to find PPL. It is pretty much a here/now chat system so if you have a freind that is in guild chat and you are in raid chat it is hard to locate them unlike 3rd party systems that have chat trees. |

How often will you use Vivox in-game voice chat?
The Tavern (General) « Everquest II 8/04/08 6:35:40 PM
another thing that I noticed while raiding. Since it is an ingame chat service it does not kill the imersion to the extent external services do. The little chat bubbles that indicate who is speaking as well as freeing up a players hands to /emote really added to some pretty funny exchanges while mending. |

From the last few groups I was in I would but it at about 50% usage.
I am unguilded but when I was we did use Vent/TS alot and can not help but think that the EQ2 voice chat really needs some form of room tree asside form the current set up so that you can see where people are at. |
