• • so many new "Vanguard is great"threads...

  • It plays better when I played earlier this year with the free month.  Zoning is in every MMO, just vanguard is more seamless so zoning might feel a little stranger then a load screen.  When you move from 1 chunk of land to the other it was definately more optimized though as an experience.

     

    Endgame is getting there, but I never got to try it, quest work better.  There was one major quest that was broken but it was "just" broken.  A simple gm ticket gave me the quest item in a matter of minutes and I was off again doing my thing.  The game feels alot more complete now definately though if you hated it before there probally isnt much more to bring you back.  Diplomacy is still a mess past the low level quest.

• • WHY FC WHY????

  • In lineage 2 it was easy to have 200+ people at a single castle siege without much lag on full settings graphically on a higher end rig, or a large raid like Antharas in the begining.

• • A little info about the Xbox360

  • Phantasy Star BB was the first online RPG on a console far as I know but it was far from MMORPG much like Universe.

     

    FFXI bought the true MMO experience to consoles, massive amounts of people in areas, the grind and grouping with people at random without going back to port ect ect.  BB and Universe are like very low tech versions of guild wars in their mission structure, with far less people in one spot per shard and no "open" areas which even guild wars had.

     

     

    As for PSU, I got it for $20 new, a month after its release on ebay =P  Apparently it bombed real bad but I found the singleplayer campaign enjoyable even if it wasnt to others.

    just curious, what would you say is the most polished?

    
    WoW is the most polished because quest work properly, the game is optimized to run well on all systems and the graphics are in no way anywhere need terrible.  The art style and graphics work across the board is steady and stable.  The game plays well, works well, PvE and PvP are not 100% balanced as per class but the best balance in comparison to even say EQ2 which is full PvE. 

    I honestly dont know some games have the same to decent level of polish as WoW but WoW has a feel to it.  It feels like a complete game when you play it moreso than any other MMORPG that I have played.

     

    That said even if the gameplay is polished it has the most boring endgame in comparison to say old age L2 but thats because I think its raiding system is boring and the PvP is non existant outside of Arena.  Battlegrounds get boring after a while.  I am more a PvP nut and I thought old age L2 was the greatest experience with outdoor pvp and sieges.  Problem is no one PvP's there anymore either :/.   Sad as it is the only games right now that even remotely interest me is private serv L2 because the PvP is still as intense as it once was.  I dont advocate stealing but retail is jsut no fun anymore and its not slow grinding.  The grind didnt bother me I am just a pvp nut and competition nut in my MMORPGs that I enjoy the fun of crazy pvp lol. 

    Anyway I strayed off, and my spelling probally sucks atm but I dont feel like fixing it.
