My my, such a powerfull machine, and still not enough?

What would it take to run this game on max?

This made me giggle...

If you want to run Vanguard at full...Load up Windows XP :)

I was running it on Vista, and when I switched back to XP 64-bit, I got a solid gain of 15 FPS...I was able to turn up my graphics settings...  Not even close to full, but I'm sure he'd be able to improve his settings if he went back to XP, assuming he has Vista.

Will be entirely PvP and full loot........Will I be able to hide my shit in a log, or something, and come back to it at a later time?  If so, I'm psyched about this game; if it releases :)

You will not get scammed because you don't have to pay to beta or test the game out. I think it is touching that you guys really worry for DF's investors but really...right now I would worry more about the AoC investors.

I hope not...Could you show a link where they say it'll all be free? I was under the assumption that you had to pay the monthly fees to be a part of the beta.

I will go on a branch, once again...And say that Darkfall's looking less like a game, and more like a scam.

I hope it's not true, but these threads sure are fun to listen to others' points, in.

I feel Radlin's pain too, poor kid already got shafted, and Adventurine's tactics are throwing red flags for him.  I wish everyone would learn to take a more third-person perspective on this and stop attacking each other so blatantly.  Radlin and people like him, are here trying to help and critize those they can't convince (stupid-too, the latter, that is), and everyone who's trying to defend the game's doing so, mostly ignorantly. No offense, but there isn't much visual evidence on the game other than a shitload of "scenic" screenshots.

It's not that either of you are wrong, or right...One side will be...Unless the game's crap, then we all lose.  But really, try to understand everyone's position before going on the rabid-rampage.  Just a note too, to Radlin, I never put in pre-orders for games, I let others find out how good, or crappy a game is...So I won't be scammed if that's what's going to happen.  Praytell it isn't.

Yeah, you're stuck with me...The eccentric flaming-noobie.

I never had a problem with the style of the game, until PUGs died out...I'm glad some people like Guild Wars as it is, I can't stand it.

I'll be exclusively using the MMORPG forums for any game related questions from now on...God, you guys are helpful and nice.

Thanks, I'll be sure to try it out :)

Can't wait for the game to finish installing on my girlfriend's computer...24/7 Vanguard

I will not be buying Guild Wars 2...

I loved Guild Wars until about 3 months after Factions released.  When Anet realized that the world was too large for PUGs, and started developing NPCs to take over the job of other players, I forgot why I loved the game.

If a company attempting to make an MMO, failed that horribly...I can't possibly risk spending 50 dollars on another blunder.

I'll be watching it for the first few months after it is released, if things are looking up, I may purchase it.  But really, I feel Anet dropped the ball with the first game, it was like playing Gothic 2 (single-player game), without a decent storyline and a hell of a lot more grinding.

 /setfog 200000, 400000, 120, 120, 240

Within this command, what do each of the values change?

LOL

It worked, I don't feel as if I'm walking through an eight-year old game. 

Thanks Arctarus...It worked wonders.

In case anyone's wondering, I'm on the Seradon server (I believe that's the name) and I'm playing a Ranger named Arquero.  Hope to see you guys online :)

I'm trying it out now.

I read that sometime this week, thanks for bringing it to my attention again.

EDIT~  To Arcken, I doubt it's my system, I built it about a year ago and it should last another four :)   (It could be, but I've had no problems putting Guild Wars, WoW, and Oblivion on max, or near max settings)

I've gone through a good amount of RPGs, FPSs, and MMOs in the last half year.  Every single one of them has only held my interest for about a month, at most.  I'm finally to the point where I want to play a game that I can feel immersed in, so I figured Vanguard would be the one.  (on a side-note, I'm looking forward to Darkfall even though it'll likely blow ass)

So anyways, I took the advice of the forum and ordered Vanguard online for 8 bucks, which is great for more-or-less, 30-day trial of a game.  After about 10 hours of installing/updating, expecting an awesome game...I come back to what looks like a primitive version of Anarchy Online.  I boosted my graphics up to full, (AA as well) with little improvement.

I also had created a human, so I initially had what was "supposed" to be an amazing view, standing on top of a mountain overlooking a valley, lake, and city...But it was all so bland.

Really though, for being a game released "last" year, I was expecting graphics to be MUCH better than this.  I even could have understood a little worse than a F2P MMO's graphics, but this is unacceptable.  And yes, I understand that because the game's so large, they had the make the graphics sub-par (what a kick to the nuts)

I will be logging on sometime soon to attempt to dig something out of the game that's fun.  But it's just so hard for me to comprehend why a game that requires a monthly payment looks so "unfinished".

I'll leave it to you guys to sort out my thoughts, maybe you'll all have some good suggestions, hell maybe some tweak to make the game look less like a wet mop, and more like Guild Wars :)\

Thanks to whoever reads this.
