I like all of those thing, plus

-player made and owned boats.

-diplomacy sounds like a lot of fun.

-being able to craft rare and awesome weapons, rather then "above average"

-the necro pets are an awesome idea <grafting>

-druid pets sound great <elemental>

Not so nice guy!

Obvioulsy everything the above 2 posters have stated, but its more about putting all the things i enjoy doing in different games and putting it all in one place.  Has any game had all these features in one package?  I'm one of those people lately who gets bored just doing one thing all the time. 

Another thing ive noticed and its probably just me, but it seems the developers for vanguard are really into makeing this game fun.  Maybe i'm just buying into the hype, or i'm being nieve.  Ive played a lot of MMO's, ive seen a lot of dev posts and such but these guys really seem passionate about more than just makeing a quick buck.  I'm "drinking the Koolaid" and i hope i'm not disapointed.

Non instanced player housing

Boats

Flying mounts

Focus on grouping

Design team

Tons of race/class combinations - individuality with characters

Things I don't like:

Having to wait for it

- Pushing the PC Hardware industry forward by forcing everyone to update their computers to get the most out of the game. (Kind of a joke, but true.)

Annnnd most importantly,

- Best online gaming community thus far, and the gameplay greatly opens doors to keep it that way.

OH NO!!!!  Jonaku has been assimilated!

I guess resistance really was futile huh?  Poor lil' guy. 

Do the implants hurt?  Where were you when the Vanguard fanboy Borg (let's call 'em Vorg) got you?  In the bathtub maybe?  Geez I ain't never gonna take another bath now.  

What's it like being part of a hive mind? 

Crud, I guess it's all up to Amathe now to stop the Vorg.  I don't come out of my cave often enough to be much help.

I know you're still in there somewhere Jonaku.  Try to remember who you were.  Don't let the hive mind control you....

Hehe this is kinda funny.  My own main gripe with Vanguard is very specific in nature so I could come up with some positive things to say too.  It's just that I feel anything positive about the game will be completely overshadowed by that one major drawback.

LOL. What a sick sense of 'normal proportion' you have when it comes to women. Too much pr0n has warped your concept of 'fat', I guess. Sad.

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this.

-creating a custom character, not just the look but actual stats and build etc.

-all stats matter, int is not just for casters etc.

-classes are unique to each other (on paper at any rate, if they FEEL unique to each other when playing?   Well...guess we'll have to see)

-massive exploration

-crafting that allows for actual adjustments to an item

-diplomacy actually looks like it could be fun (though I am still a bit skeptical).

-combat seems to make player skill a key factor.

-it would appear that healing is the not the overpowerd ultimate trump card for every encounter in VG, unlike almost every other MMO i've played.

-no raid flagging required.

-fun art direction.  I'm kinda a sucker for the volumetric coulds and night time sky too.

If you're going to stick it out there, don't be afraid if you get it cut off.

Nope it's true.  He's just trying to act like he's a fan in order to be accepted into the community and then when he has infiltrated he will start with his bashing of VSoH until he can rally 1 or 2 people to view it his way lol.

or he is making a statement that he is not allowed to post negative topics about vanguard and so he makes a positive topic and it doesn't get locked, witch is my theory.

it all comes down to spamming the boards with the same BS over and over that he obviously thinks is doing no harm. i am one of the biggest trolls on this forum and you don't see me posting topic after topic with my rabid fanboism do you? ::::02::

the irony is he complains about the community over on the vanguard official forums then proceeds to destroy this community over here single handedly with his spamming of flame bait and misinformation.

calling vanguard fans "rabid vanbois" while being a "rabid hateboi" that is blanketing us with his twisted logic is no better than what he is so outraged over at the OVF.

even those trolls over there at the OVF don't spam as much as he does here(well most most of them)...anyways I'm done flaming jonaku, have a great day! ::::20::

I'm gonna say I'm just playing the game for the Monks.... the monks > all

Also I like non-instancing and no bazaar/auction thingy like WoW had.

I think his statement is that those of us who like Vanguard don't even know much about it and that we'd all have nothing to say. Sadly, only 3 or 4 people actually listed things they like about Vanguard. The rest were all talking about him, which I'm sure you all know pleases him, so just list some things you like about Vanguard. I have a few new ones:

Customizable playstyle for classes. I just read one of the other threads and for example if you're playing ranger, you can adjust the power of your bowstrikes and sacrifice accuracy for power. And then there's stances, and all of the classes have crazy and kewl ways they can play their character to their style, and change things situationally. Just really innovative and I dig it.
