You think so.  I found it to not have much information, and what little it had was lost in really wordy editorials and split amongst many pages.  Someone needs to take a journalism class at Games Radar and learn about brevity.

An enitre week on juicy vangaurd info!

I can't decide what race and class to start with.


This isn't meant to be snarky or anything but basically, go play EQ2, you'll get a pretty good idea of what class your going to enjoy. The differences are farily relative.

Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?

I take it you are currently in Beta testing and have actually played the game?

If not, yes you are being sarky, because you do not know how the diffrent classes will play.

Feel free to come back and say 'I told you so' when the game launches and they are in fact just like EQ2.

But until then, unless you are in Beta, your just stating negative opinion rather than fact.

The Necromancer Pet sure does look interesting and I gotta say I've been playing WOW and I miss the Necromancer class lol So that does look interesting.

He was talking about how the classes will play, not the appearance of the character models.

Try again. :D

Oh my god! Thank you for the link. Some screen shots are just mind blowing. I guess it's time to start saving for new PC.

Every time I read your post, I die a little inside...

Well, as for class play, it is all merely assumptions since the NDA will prevent any testers from actually speaking out...

 But I would imagine that the class will play the same as far as:

Necromancer = cast a pet, cast buff a pet, cast a DoT, cast a fea, etc...

Ranger = cast some bufs, flip an arrow, flip  magic arrow, run, flip another arrow, run. etc....

Rogue = hide, sneak up, stab, stick and move, stick and move, etc....

Put when it comes to how classes function, unless you are in beta, there is no way to tell. Such as the necromancer, he has a pet, he has DoT's, he has DD spells, but how many games let you modifiy your pet the way Vanguard is planning to let you?

The only thing I still don't like is the fact that my rogues still won't have Pick Pocket. One of my favorite rogue skills, especially on a PvP server. How many of you played UO and miss being able to steal from peoples backpacks?r

Not so nice guy!
