• • Anything worth coming back to?

  • FD is the reason they are designated pullers.

    Highest DPS right now is a contest between monk and rogue. Rangers still do great DPS but not on par with a monk or rogue. As for agro issues. Our monks pull massive agro on raids and they always FD out of it.

    And don't bother waiting for the 'zerker. There has been no announcement on it in a very long time. I doubt it or the inquisitor will ever be put in unless they add them with an expansion, if they ever do one.

    I don't know which group of players are more annoying: Vanguard or SWG. Why do you all constantly reward failure? Vanguard had the potential to be the best fantasy MMO out there and it was ruined by inept developers and an equally inept publisher. Is it the games that you are addicted to or do you enjoy being abused by developers?

    Vanguard is a failure. SWG is a failure. What does it say about you that you can't find anything better to play besides these two games? If this is indeed the case, I really do believe you need to shut off your computers and go find something else to do.

    This is a matter of principle. Sure, you can respond and say that there are things you personally like about these two games. But, in the end, you are missing the big picture. That picture is that you shouldn't be rewarding developers and publishers for releasing games before they are ready to be release. You shouldn't be rewarding developers and publishers for putting out rubbish for games. SOE simply doesn' t know how to develop and support games. Their bottom-line is all they are concerned about it and it shows with the quality of the games they produce. They got lucky ONE TIME with EQ1 and are to be commended for jumpstarting this genre of games. But, they have dropped the ball consistently (including the horrible release of EQ2), and you all want to continue to reward them. WHY?

    It bothers me to no end when sincere people come here looking for a new game to play and you VG players are always to eager to lead these people down your bumpy & weed infested yellow brick road. Do any of you even understand what went down a year ago? If you had any moral clarity, you would spend your dollars elsewhere and simply let this game (along with SWG) die.

    Here is the typical MMORPG.com post of someone trolling a game they don't even play.

    You use words like "principal" and "moral clarity"......on a topic about a video game. Of all the causes in the world, you chose VG to fight? You, sir, are a hero of the stupid. It's fine that you don't like the game but it's just not your business what other people do with their own money.

• • Just returned

  • You're dead on about how easy the game has gotten. It's funny that regionchat is filled with people who use the tired and lame "go back to WoW" comment on anyone who complains about pretty much anything anymore considering that VG is about the same difficulty as WoW these days. The only place to find any kind of decent challenge anymore is in APW. They did that area right.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the game, I just wish they hadn't dumbed it down so much. If you decide to stay, find a good guild that runs regular groups. Grouping is where VG shines.

• • Helms, Helms, and more Helms...

  • I can't say I like any of them but I've never liked helms in any game I've ever played. I'm happy for the people who wanted helms in the game but it was never anything I cared about. I'm just glad there's an option to hide helms.

    1) How long does it take to reach max level?  Game play hours please.

    2) Is there a good site out there that has info about the different classes and skills?  I like to find out about that info ahead of time.

    3) Is inflation completely out of control?  Can a new player to the game purchase items or do you need a max level character to farm money.

    4) At max level do people need to rep grind or farm mats to compete?

    If you do not play the game please do not flame it in this post. I am seeking info to determine for myself I want to play the game.  Thanks to anyone who posts useful information in advance.

     

    1: You can reach max level pretty fast in VG. It all depends on your style of play (hardcore or casual). I'd hazard a guess that you could hit cap in a month or a little less if you stuck to the quest lines. Search this board, there's a post by Zippy I believe with a rundown of where to go to quest at each level range.

    2. Check the links section at vgplayers.com for all the class sites. All of them are listed there.

    3. If you harvest while you level you'll have no problem with money and you'll be able to outfit yourself with nice gear from quests. I wouldn't worry about buying much of anything until you reach 40, then you can work on optimizing gear if you're into that.

    4. Not sure what you mean by this question. There are plenty of faction grinds that you can do but they are optional. If you mean is it like WoW where you have to farm mats between raids to be able to raid then no, you don't.

    Hope this info is helpful.
