Wow, a whole update based upon a mistranslation of the German press-release.

Hm, how can I say it without calling you a lier. I leveled a new character till level 35 on that server. I have never been able to find a group for BB, SH or RoV in that time.

 

... ok, why the hell would you need a group for BB? I've been playing since nearly the day this game opened and have NEVER needed a group for BB.

 

As for Stormhold and RoV, get a guild or wait until you're inside, then turn on your LFG and ask once or twice in the /ooc window. DO NOT just walk up to people and click the invite to group thing on their characters, get the agreement to group first. Those stupid popup windows can get a character killed and makes things incredibly aggravating.

Sure, blame the messenger and assume he is doing everything wrong.

I am not complaining. Returning to the game and finding out things have not improved did not cost me a cent, but I am not playing till the end of the free period SOE gave us.

O, and it is not about needing a group, but about wanting to group. I can solo all of RoV also when I want to, except perhaps Varsoon before he is grey, but that is no fun.

Personally I would go for a fantasy mmo without undead at all. And without orcs, trolls, dwarves and elves. In short, I would like to see something more original. Playable undead was original, but since I dislike the unoriginal addition of undead, vampires and werewolves to games I am not pleased by them in any form.

I am always imagining seeing announcements like: "today we lacked inspiration, so we added some giant spiders. Enjoy."

I dont understand how you can expect at launch anything except a playable game at bare minimum.

Of course people expect a full game for the full price. It is a sad affair when this is not the case.

Maybe the game is bad, but I've also heard a lot of good things coming out of beta too and I'm just curious as to why you've never posted here before...

Isn't that obvious. He is breaking NDA. So he made a new account to do it.

Well, at lower levels the game is virtually dead now. Haven't been able to find a group for days now. Most dungeons I enter are completely deserted and I can play for hours without meeting anyone in the starter areas who is not just passing through (level 80). Sad but true.

I enjoy Vanguard and I hope the game start to grow, but I noticed Vanguard playerbase is spreading misinformation.

 

1-     Vanguard community is not growing or healthy, there is just one semi populated server ( seradon ) any other populated game , from Everquest 2 to Age of Conan have at least 10x that.

2-     Vanguard still has a lot of bugs even after more than a year GM help is needed to finish some basic quests and performance is far from perfect.

3-     The game still has some alpha/beta issues like, characters still incomplete after they cuted facial customization, BOP or non BOP decision, animations etc.

4-     Diplomacy is totally incomplete.

5-     End game has less content than most MMOs, from Everquest 2 to DDO and Age of Conan.

 

As I said, I enjoy Vanguard, I think Telon is a great game universe and I do belive in Vanguard potential, but if the Vanguard community keep spreading misinformation about the game and keep thinking the game is “complete” the game will never show its real potential.

Everyone that enjoy RPGs and MMOs should try Vanguard now, the game is not broken as it was at the release, but keep in mind, the game still in “semi-beta” state and the community is very, very small.

1. I don't know. I play on Halgar and I am under the impression I see more and more players around me lately. Still, I am not doing as much grouping as I would like, which would be every other day.

2. That might be. However, I have not encountered a quest recently in which I needed the help of a GM to finish it. So, it must be a small minority of quests that are still bugged else I would have encountered them too.

3. That is a matter of opinion. The little hick-up you get when you pass a zone line does iritate me, but to be honest it is only a small nuisance and so are many of the other issues the game still has. You could say the game is still not fully polished, and I don't think it will be for some time. So, if that is a problem to anyone, don't play this game.

4. Possibly. I don't like diplomacy. I don't do it now.

5. That is true with the exception of AoC. There is end-game, but not much.

There is absolutely nothing indicating that TCOS will do well in asia, nothing at all. considering how many western mmorpg's have crashed and failed in Asia, TCOs has the odds against it and it's quite shocking how little hype there is.

Yes, awesome isn't it. No sign it will do well and 2 million subscribers in Asia alone in two years time. That is the element of surprise at work.

Enough people seem to like it. That is a good sign. But just judging from the videos I dont think this game will be for me. It looks like a pinball game to me tbh.

Maybe people should read the reviews instead of looking at numbers. 7,6 by Yougamers may sound good but the article calls AoC a major disappointment.

Well, its useless. Whiners, bashers, liars. Full of missinformation. Its feels like the underhalls of the undead. Remote controlled undead tools roaming the halls. 90% written here is BS. 

See my sig.
