Everything ive read and watched about Vanguard so far has me VERY excited. the only thing is that i havent played beta yet so i cant really say much about it. but this game looks fantastic. the art styl graphics battle system customization world enviorment crafting system, ECT. looks Awsome. i just hope after all this waiting and hoping and watching that it will make it. and that it will be just as good as i think its going to be....hope its not another downer like DnL. lots to live up to but doesnt really hit the target kinda thing.

Rest assured, VG is definitly NOT a DnL :) We are looking at a game that is 85% towards launch, with just beta work to complete, with major industry expertise and muscle behind it. Vanguard is gonna fly :)

Right now the biggest thing I see out of the Beta leaks is the fun factor. Graphics and things like that worry me little because it is only beta. However I do so hope the game is fun and thats the biggest complaints I see.

However I do so hope the game is fun and thats the biggest complaints I see. Fun factor? Vanguard is built on comunity. If people fail to log into Beta, there is no comunity therefore no fun. There is no way you can enjoy yourself by soloing, although there is some solo content. Everything in Vanguard is built around comunity and the interdependance between players. When the servers will start to fill up a bit, you will see that the game will be fun. Obviously don't expect fun a la WOW or EQ2, or you will be disappointed. Expect more something on the line of EQ1, more time to level, more grinding, but at the same time more skilled players and mature comunity.

In terms of level pacing, yeah but grinding? You won't have time to grind (well...uless you REALLY wanted to I suppose?) Too many quests and skills to gain via exploration of content, even then you will miss a ton of content your first time through because no matter what, you will ironically level too fast before you can see it all. You will litterally HAVE to make an alt in order to see most of the content you missed. At release VG will have thousands of quests. And many skills will be gained by adventuring/exploring/completeing quests etc. So...while you could grind...why would you want to? And you are right on the money that a skilled player will really be able to shine, there can be a lot going on durring combat. ;)

I CANT WAITTT!!!!!!

I CANT WAITTT!!!!!! Well... unfortunately no matter where you go you are pretty much garunteed to run into punks. And VG has a lot going for it to appeal to a pretty large array of people. So while VG seems to be the most likely to appeal to people more likely to appreciate strategy and indepth thinking I would wager you will still run into your share of ultimate jerks on VG. Maybe less than another given game but its kind of unavoidable. ;) On the flip side they do plan to go after and shut down ebay'ers and farmers on their servers rather ruthlessly. So there is that. :D I guess I don't worry too much, you find good people that you eventually start hanging out with regularly and all is well anyway. ;)

Lol, not sure what eq you played but there were tons of a#@holes in eq1. From killstealers to trainers to snobs to 1337 kiddies to ninja looters.............. Granted it wasnt as bad as the wow chat channels but still.
