The expansion for housng has been in test forever in other places..so I was just hoping......

I love crafting...housing and xp.I have been playing VG.Vg is going OK...the game seems to me A LOT OF WORK for the results produced.Great graphics...deep crafting...housing...great community.....even ship building.The problem for me.....playing and feeling that I'm actually accomplishing something.The result...the games fun factor is getting smaller every day.My playstyle...99% solo. For those who have played both....is LOTRO a viable alternative given what I've outlined thats important to me. ? Thanks.

Seems like they have been working on housing forever ? is it in the game yet ?  

Any enhancing/deepening of crafting ?

I love to craft and have noted when I looked into the game on previous occassions that crafting seemed quite lacking. Has that changed   ? How is crafting in todays game ?

I wouldn't say deep crafting Arawon, don't delude and lie to the people here. Vanguards crafting is not deep and in depth as I had a number of crafters  in that game level 50 armorsmith (with all recipes) level 40 armorsmith (Nergle FInkwhistle (with all recipes) a level 50 leather worker (all recipes) and I can tell you I did crafting pretty much watching BSG episodes and other movies on television hoping my wrist wouldn't fall off.

 

SWG to date is the only game that had a true crafting dynamic and that went out the door with NGE. While I do hope some crafting to make things better in the game is in like ship engineer, saber customization, tinkerer and such I don't wanna see full blown crafting professions like in SWG.

My reason being as I did love that game, this game is not SWG and it needs to be something totally different brought to the MMO market, not the same old rehashed shit from 1990 through 2004.

Name calling doesen't win arguments among the rational...only among those like the poster.

Vanguard has provided for soloists..to some degree..thats why I'm there.

It's been a whiie since I asked this question.Previous answers all seemed to say grouping was manditory to play and advance. Is that still the case ?

Thanks in advance for the help.

The decision not to do this  seems to say....the devs and marketing people don't think the game is sufficiently repaired and deveveloped for a relaunch at this time.

The purpose of this note is to ask what the status of both of  the above is. When I tried the game at start up..crafting was incomplete and broken.Housing did not exist. What if anything has changed with these two spheres of activity...if anything ?

As defined by the all seeing all knowing all caring.

I was in original beta and 3 months after launch. I came back 6 weeks ago and am having fun. Got my wife to join me. One of the particular strength of this game not emphasised enough is the very high quality player base.It's one of the real reqasons to play and stay.

All down. "awaiting world server" is the note when you try to access character screen or auto-long in.

Any know why the servers are down atm  ?

Guess we're supposed to erase our memory boards reduarding GW 2  ?

OP...good Grief.Another person who wants another entity to take care of him and protect him from a possible bad purchase. When will some people ever grow up, and act like adults? Its a big world out there, and there are good choices and bad choices we as adults make in what we say/don't say..... do /don't do.Grow up. If you feel uneasy about something..it's probably your common sense actually trying to tell you something. LISTEN.

About 18 hours..and counting.

Anybody that actually gives this company money for a subscription deserves exactly what  they deserve.

Does any think they will seriously make their February date? (name one thing this company has said that turned out to be true? )
