I don't find clicking through loot to ID it fun. The fact is most people use Decal to ID loot, which clearly shows that I am not alone in my feelings. If people resort to using Decal for a task then something is wrong. The devs need to learn to make it fun or simplify the process so it does not require Decal.

I like MMOs to be fun, not tedious life simulations. You don't fight monsters, cast spells, or use icons to identify real life objects, so don't use realism as an excuse.

HAI GUYZ. HE'S NOT BUYING AN ALIENWARE ANYMORE.

Even so, he is not going to be taking it apart to install new components. He does not know much about computers. The majority of people never upgrade individual components on their computer.

If you frequently upgrade individual components, I question your logic unless you are upgrading your GPU.

For example, my computer is two years old. I have an AMD X2 4400+, socket 939. It was mid grade two year ago. The only options for me to upgrade are a 4600, 4800, FX-55, or FX-57. If you want them new they are both expensive and hard to find as they are no longer manufactured. Even if I did upgrade the performance increase would be minimal. It's just not worth upgrading.

Even if I bought the lowest end processor two years ago, it would have been better to buy a better processor up front. You will not be saving much in the long run.

The greatest performance increases come with new sockets and chipsets, which requires a new motherboard and often new RAM. The cost of paying for two processors, which is what you are doing when you upgrade, is not going to net you a lot of savings or a big increase in performance.

GPUs are the exception. A new generation GPU does usually not require a new motherboard and can increase performance a lot.

I prefer to stop providing relevant information. Your topic title was not very descriptive. It is possible you were looking for information about brands that make monitors, mice, speakers, etc., which is why I read your message.

Yeah, I thought of that. Fangirl isn't defined. M-W is sexist!

So, cannot I not call a man a fanboy? I must call older people fanmen.

Wrymstrum, I agree ACs combat even with the ability to dodge is lacking. People like to brag about how good the PvP is, but I find it extremely boring. There is dodging, but the variations in attacks is highly lacking compared to other games. I also do not enjoy item drops or vitae penalties, which is another aspect PvPers like. Thankfully, Turbine realizes most players do not like harsh death penalties.

default, identifying random loot is a problem. I suggested that items with majors be given a special icon on the forums before. That's not a complete solution, but it helps. AC3 would need to devise a better method of altering playrs such as varying background colors, special icons, and text alerts.

I loved that guy! His posts were awesome.

What happened to the Alienware you were going to buy? STOP WASTING MA TIME.

I guess very high is relative. Going from 5 to 20 players is quite an increase.

Now I know that some people like this Jaguar guy here have a personal grudge against the game for some reason. I'll never really understand that, and I'll just say all of these trolls who bring completely irrelevant and untrue information to these forums are just giant douches.
RV is in a great state right now.

It's nothing personal against Roma Victor. I'm against any clearly crappy game. The game is boring because of the barren and empty world. The interface is laughable too.

Roma Victor is a small game by a small developer. It's fine if you like it. However, it should not be listed along the side with games like EVE, WOW, and EQ. I assume someone who works at MMORPG.com invested in the game, Roma Victor paid MMORPG.com, or some who works at MMORPG.com plays it. In the past I also had a problem with people constantly recommending it and praising it when it was clearly a small time operation. Thankfully the praise died down since it became apparent the game is not that good.

Who cares? Do you ever upgrade your processor? I don't think this guy is going to be taking apart his computer to put a new processor in.

By the time I feel like upgrading my processor - which is usually around two or three years after I first assemble the computer - there is a new socket out which requires a whole new motherboard anyway.

-Uses 4x1gb RAM sticks as opposed to 2x2gb, which isn't a huge problem, it just isn't as good when you decide to upgrade.

You know there's a hardware forum.

Q6600 is the best out of those.

I do not understand why this game is listed on the sidebar. Only like 10 people play this game. MMORPG.com must have a personal interest in RV. RV is the lowest quality MMO of any listed on the sidebar. This game is crap anyone can see it. It's a joke, no flaming or trolling is needed.

Come on guys, eveyone knows the BBC is compromised. Bush has people inside. If not the BBC then the orginization responsible for the study is a government plot. WISE UP SHEEPLE.

Things actually are looking up over here. Thanks for making a topic titled as such, as it's true.

IT'S KOOOOL MAN

Ok, ok I went overboard with fanboy. Hugs? Aww, all better. Topic starting to bore everyone. Perhaps we will meet again someday. UP UP AND AWAY

Initially I used the word fanboy in the satement "LOLOLOL FANBOYZZ." I am clearly capable of communication beyond that. My usage of "LOLOL FANBOYZZ" was inteded to rile Vanguard fans. I wanted to spite some fans because I was attacked in the game for saying I thought Vanguard was similar to WOW. The statement was not specifically targeted at you.

After that you in turn called me a fanboy, and ever since we have continually bantered back and forth using the word.

What are you talking about? Your camera shakes and your UI is freezing, I said it is not exacly a common issue and now Im a fanboy blaming your PC???
You enter the game and shout "This game is like WoW", people got upset, you call people fanboy, I said your strange issue is not a common bug and talked about some real issues in Vanguard and you call me fanboy.
Ok Jaguar, everyone is a fanboy and you are totally right (????)
This is pointless...

Once again you are exaggerating by saying "shouting."

[some chatting about what the game was similar to]
Me: the game is like wow
Player 1: no it's not
Player 2: you don't know what you're talking about
Player 3: troll, go away
Player 4: it's more like EQ1
[continued arguing about how the game was not like WoW]

I should have been more clear stating the interface is much like WoWs, either way the couple players online became very agitated.

Anyway, you are a Vanguard fanboy. Can you not admit it? You are trying extremely hard to defend a buggy game. You want to protect the games image. I am not making any false statements in order to perpetuate my own anti-Vanguard agenda. Actually, I'm not anti-vanguard. I wish they would fix the issues I mentioned. I might be playing right now. The open world Vanguard offers is unmatched.

I am not picking on Vanguard particulalry hard. My own game, Asheron's Call, I am extremely hard on too. I constantly plea for improvements on the official forums. My pleas are not completely random or out of the question either. They are similar to Vanguard mainly relating to fixing technical bugs, not game mechanics.

Jaguar
The UI is freezing up for you, the shaking camera is happening with you...
What you said about transparence is not a bug, it happens in a lot of games, so you will not get lost in a extreme coloseup of wall or your character´s head...  is this your first game with Unreal engine???
Diplomacy content, end game content, some quests, character customization are issues today not what you are saying.
Huge cities and buildings, the only totally alive sky and weather among MMOs, unique music are details that bring a very unique atmosphere to Vanguard, but really, you should at least try to get some info or experience a bit of the game if you want to cast a fair judgement... and we both know, you are not doing that since your first minute talking about the game or using the general chat.

I highly doubt the camera shaking while walking up steps is just me. That's not a big deal, it's just an annoyance like the WoW-ish UI and crappy HUD font. The freezing UI could have been a one time incident, I did not try to recreate it, but it happened.

Do not attempt to blame my computer. That is a classic fanboy move. "It works fine on my computer, it must be yours." I have an excellent computer with the most recent drivers and clean of crap. I reinstall Windows every couple months to keep it running best.

I did not realize Vanguard used the Unreal engine. I looked it up. It uses the Unreal 2 engine and I admit I am not familiar with any of the games that use the Unreal 2 engine.

That does not mean I should accept buildings becoming compeltely transparent as I walk through them. That also does not mean I like to see the freaky insides of my characters when I walk through doors or manage to position the camera too close.

The vastness of Vanguard was the main reason I bought it when it was released. No other game besides Asheron's Call have such vast open landscape and buildings.

I was so turned off the game at launch that I'm still tasting it However, I keep reading good things about Vanguard. About how far its come and very, very little bad, the bad now based alot on anger and nutty comments rather than evidence to back it up. I never did remove the game from my machine. The patcher is updating as I write and I'll be in game soon enough to check it out.

You will see the eyeballs inside your characters head everytime you go through a door. You will still be laying down, dead for a second everytime you resurrect. The UI can freeze up if you click the map and another icon too quickly. Walking upstairs will shake the camera rediculously. Every level you walk up a tower the building textures may become compeltely transparent so you can see the outside.

I identified these bugs within the first 15 or 20 minutes of playing. That was enough to make me stop. Am I expecting too much?

Also add in the bland atmosphere and disgusting HUD text. The dark atmosphere is not successful like GoW, UT3, or EVE. It's just dull. Of course these are just my opinions, but I certainly bet some of these issues have something to do with Vanguards lack of success. I bet the horrendous engine caused a lot of peopel to quit initially. Thankfully that is one issue that is fixed now.

 You, and another person in this post who mentioned it, are totally right about the HUD text, if that's what it is called.  The text over monsters heads.  It is so ugly, it really is distracting from the gorgeous scenery around, like big graphical farts of uglyness.  I wish there was a way to change the fonts.  If anyone knows how, let us know!
