1 sec do I work for the company..no I do not.

am I taking a quote from an on-line magazine..yes I am

are you just being a total asswipe for the sake of it...yes you are

Like I said I am just showing what info is out there and all you are doing is showing what an idiot you can be,you have nothing to add to this thread so just move on,everyone will be happier now!

also can I add hows your german?

thought so as this isnt the post that was made a couple of weeks ago saying when the open beta would be,I am guessing you read that somewhere and thought you would try to look smart sharing that here but you are way out off line and indeed looking stupid.

Vanguard is all about PVE,it is alot better now than at launch and has some great quests and a great world to explore the population is still a bit to be desired but if you have nice pc set-ups and you all play together then you could have a great time there.

Ahh the random group invite's how I dont miss them,When I played my priest would get these alot,even after I declined they would just keep sending them,the funny thing is when ppl did ask me to join the group alot of the time I would and on more than 1 occassion I would join a group and the leader would say"I sent you an invite before and you kept declining"when I told him he never asked me 1st or even told me where the group was going some of them just couldnt understand the fact it is nice to ask 1st rather than just spam invite.

Some strange player's out there indeed.

Well it has been I while since I played but wasnt it always lvl 68 for druids flying form and lvl 70 for other flight mounts?maybe this has changed since I left though.

Well they do market kid's MMo's like Disney's pirate's and the upcomming free realms,It is quite easy to have only kids in these games as most older player's wouldnt touch them but how do you stop kids getting into adult based game's?

One option is to give them a high difficulty in terms of gameplay and crafting etc,this may put off the really young gamer's but not all and also what is too say the player's you think are underaged kids arent really 27 year old kids?

The last bit of your post is alittle off putting "without having to put up with others"with this sort of line maybe mmo's arent for you as "putting up with other's" is what it's all about,sure the like's of lotro you can solo and solo well but to experience the full game you will have to group.

It isnt much but with almost no news for a couple of months any update is better than none,Here is a quote taken from IGN on TCoS dated the 21st July...

"Frogster's autumn is complemented by The Chronicles of Spellborn, which just last week passed performance and stress tests very successfully in an essential development milestone. After integrating the final content and performing the last balancing and polishing, Frogster will release the long awaited fantasy online role playing game this year as planned. For Spellborn the beta-registration has already started as well at: www.spellborn.com".

I wouldnt get to excited about the post on the publisher's website,They are just saying what was said back in April when the game was delayed yet again,I would post the link but it is in Geman but basically it was just saying that they still plan to have open beta in October and release this year,Here is a post from Banshee(mod of offical TCoS site) about the statement.....

"it is not exactly something entirely new, just a confirmation that our release plans so far did not change. It is always a bit tricky to make Open beta related announcements on our own site, especially when it is still a while before its planned launch date."
 

Now I hope they stick too the release but cant help but notice the "So far did not change" part in that post.

Well I am really enjoying the game now(3rd time is a charm),

If you are looking for a pvp game I would say look else where,VG isnt a pvp game it is that simple,

VG is also not a game to rush through to raid end level,VG is a game to enjoy the journey,yes this may seem alittle soppy but it is the truth,enjoy the ride,the quests are very well written and alot of fun the open feel to game and the go anywhere do anything really does pull you in after a while,I do say after a while as for a new player it can be a bit overwhelming,stick in there it is worth it.

If you are a player that doesnt feel the need to be high level and grind gear and try to show off then VG could be the game for you,VG community is a great bunch they always chat to other players,help out or even just buff,One great example is when you are an an open dungeon and waiting for spawns and another group shows up,Instead of fighting for the spawns the last group to show would simply say"hey guys let us know when you are done" and this has happened quite alot.

So basically in short there is no ego trip in VG no massive gear grind and for some of you guys not alot of pvp but what there is,is a great community a great pve experience and imho a great gamming experience,from a guy that has tried it 3 times and on the other 2 times really put this game down and with a fury at that,I am now really having a great time ingame.

If we go by what the devs are saying then imagine COx when it comes to players building there toons.

Yes you are held back by the fact you dont have 10 different races etc but if you have the freedom the devs are saying then we will be ok there.

The main point atm for TCoS is the fact you can be an individual,we can only wait and see if this is true.

This game does promise alot and if it comes close to its promise then we should be in for a treat,but then again promise doesnt mean alot in this day and age.

I will follow this title,as I have done for 2 years now but If it fails will I be suprised?

no I wont .... I will be more suprised if it makes it as a big seller,why?

Thats just the state of the market atm.

Like I said I have always followed this game but I honestly think it will be next year before we see a game that takes the mmo industry to the next level,last year when this game was due for release and it delievered then maybe this could have been it,but like many other games it delayed or like some games never showed its face again,for TCoS I would say maybe a title to keep 1 eye on but for sure not 1 to pin your hopes on,hell what game can you these days?

Yes TCoS has pvp,There are infact pvp zones that you are encouraged to goto for items that arent available in non pvp zones,Here is also a copy from the offical site that will answer some pvp question's enjoy.

What PvP areas?

-The green district, mines and caves. The mines and caves are spread across several shards. These zones are intended for players of +/- level 20 and up.

-Arena district: intended as training ground for some free fights, but that's all up to the players. Accessible to all levels.

-Guild hall: The instanced guild hall will have a small pvp (training) area available for guilds who have unlocked this.

-Arena: Players can fight ranked and unranked battles here. Several different maps and mods will be available on release. Accessible to +/- level 40 and up.

The size of the areas is quite different. Also, we’re not placing the PvP area’s in some corner of a shard so only PvP players will be there. Some areas have gathering related content, some have quest related content.

When entering a PvP enabled area, there will be a system message counting down before it will go in effect.

In PvP zones, there’s no relation between faction/species/guild/high house-members. We can make the distinction, but there’s no zones currently using this. Players in a group, however, can’t attack each other, so they can work together. Basically all PvP zones are currently FFA, with the exception of the Arena. This is because the Arena is currently only 1 v 1, 1 v team or team v team, no FFA mods yet.

There are several concepts for PvP wide shards, based on high houses and guilds, but these won’t be in at release.

On the subject of spectating Arena matches, yes this will be possible. I don’t think it will be in release, but I hope it will, it’s one of those features I really like. Did I mention the spectators’ area of the Arena looks stunning?
 

Lol mate did like the "tags" line,Tbh I was pretty much the same when I got over whelmed buy the size and sometimes the complexate of the world but I found I was my own worst enemy,I was taking on quests from so many different places and quest jumping alot,It wasnt till I calmed down and decided to take the world 1 step at a time a started to get my feet.

My advice is pick up 1 quest at a time in a new area and while you do that quest maybe explore a bit,There are'nt many hidden walls in VG as you think you can get to them it just takes the right route,sometimes you have to go back to get forward sort of thing,or as others have said grab a flying mount for anything from 25c to 2s 50c and just fly there.

I wouldnt use that to often though as tbh VG is about exploration and you will miss alot of the game if you do this all the time and tbh you will always be confused,go out there and explore and try to remember what you can and you will build up your own map in time.

I dont really see the problem in what you are saying,yes the classes are a bit more diverse so whats the problem?

I do play a shammy and at lvl 33 I am really enjoying it but for group quests I still want a vary of different classes and in raids ofc I do,not only for the tanking abilities or healing abilities but also for the buffs etc,There has been some talk of shammies here but anyone that has played 1 will tell you we do not kill quickly our best "trick" is to outlast others and that can take sometime,for a group we still need a nuker and a tank also some of our heals have cooldowns so we arent the best to be a main healer in bad spots.

Like I have said before every class has its place in VG which is great from a player point of view.

"Thats my two cents. I strongly encourage people to try the game, it was fun for the most part. However I became quickly bored and lost interest. Personally, I'm returning to EQ2 with hope of finding a better community and a much more solid MMO."

You strongly encourage ppl to try as it was fun but you got quickly bored?that doesnt make any sense at all.

anyway other than this part a decent enough post on pro's and con's though maybe think alittle more on your summing up.

actually that makes pretty good sense. why do you feel the need to tell someone how to review like you know everything. I thought his review was good and he summed it up just fine
 

Yep you are right I am sorry,It is normal for ppl to say "hey play this game I really reccomend it" and after you have bought it they say"yeah I got bored really fast also"

Can you see what I mean or do you still think I am trying to tell ppl how to review games?

Like I said a decent pro's and cons list but lacking in a sumup,if you still dis-agree thats ok this is a forum but dont think I am trying to think I know everything.

dont know if it is a "genius idea" but give it time would be mine.

I dont play anymore,infact gave up after only 9 days but there is no 1 idea or even 3 or 4 to "save"this game it was yet another rushed release and regardless what some ppl may think its fate is somewhat out of its hand,Yes it can improve alot of things,which it needs to anyway but it is more dependant now that no game in the next 6 months or so(maybe longer till it sorts its self out)releases that gamers have been waiting on and forget all about AoC.

So what does it take to save AoC?

A hell of alot of work and alot of good fortune that some other games dont snatch the rug from underneath it's feet.

Damp cloth followed by a dry towel and no cleaning lady,has always worked for me.

Thanks again guys! great feedback

I do like to PVP but Im actually looking for something different in this go. Ive done the PVP games and if I want to keep doing PVP Ill stick with them. Im honestly not all that interested in a gankfest. A friend of mine played on a AoC PVP server and he said it was hellabad... if you don't have backup or a good guild your screwed. Not my idea of fun when Im starting to learn a brand new game i know nothing about :)

Im gonna give this game a go! cheapest I found online was 30 bones but meh, if it keeps me entertained for a few months its money well spent. If I REALLY like it and it keeps me hooked then Ill be a very happy camper

thanks again for all the great replies guys. I sincerely hope the ingame community is this good

Hope you enjoy it mate and I can say the ingame community is the best I have ever seen,very helpful and you wont(or at least I havent)seen any child like antics going on,I think regardless what ppl think of the game everyone can agree on this,all the best mate.
