    The highlights from show 49:
    
    * Me and Luper talk send out thanks to our sponsors!
    * Guess who's going to Fan Faire? WE ARE.
    * We talk about what we did in game! We DID A LOT!
    * Beau went to some dungeons, and Luper talks about a COOL high 30's dungeon.
    * Talk more about Fan Faire!
    * ISLE OF DAWN talk!!
    * Lupers phone rings and Beau's doggies bug him.
    * Beau gripes about the inability to get a racial mount (QQ) and Luper gripes (yawns) a bit too. Forgive the editing. It's crazy. I was SOOOOO tired, we had been up at 2 am recording because I had to be at the hospital to do my rounds. I missed some stuff in the edit. Oh well. Podcast Grp looking 4 EDTR.
    * At the end of the show is our new contributor, JUTE! She's doing a cool interview!!
    
    Beau and Lupita McCooingStein....that's STINE!
    
     PS: No one has guessed Silius' fav. movie yet! Keep the guesses COMING!!!
    
     Remember, the 25th of July will be our live, in-game recording of our 50th SHOW!! We will record live in game at Lupers' guild hall, but you will need to log in to Skype to join our live conversation. This will be at night, 'round 7:30 PM, Central time USA!
    
     This week's song is picked out by Beau and is "Everything's Ruined" by Faith No More! This band was fun back in the day, when I saw em live they threw a bunch of food all over. This band has my favorite drummer. To this day, if I record, I use him as a good sound to base my drum sound off of.

    I have to agree with the guy above, the removed customization is a minor thing even though it is getting put back soon.  When I started back with this free time I decided to make a new character rather than pick up one of my old ones just to get acclimated again and as much as I heard from a couple people about this change to customization after I made my toon I couldn't tell what had changed.  I actually though maybe it was left on for founders or something (which it wasn't).  Anyways, as others have said it is getting put back in very soon along with new models/animations.

     

    Now that being said - the 'attitude' of the guy above is a bit of what I am talking about.  I can understand if he wants to say 'hey, this is no big deal in terms of a change or loss as I agree with him' but he comes off a bit, not trying to single him out unfairly, attacking someone for their opinion on the matter.  In game this happens and people often shout down folks just saying something in a matter of fact way and not even flaming something.

     

     

     No, you are correct, I did come off kind of harsh. And for that I apologize. Something about these forums..lol

     But if you want to know, I have heard so many of these arguments that this is what fuels me being harsh. I do the www.voyagesofvanguard.com podcast, and especially since I have been interviewing all the devs (including the head honcho, Silius) about the game, I have recieved more PM's complaining about smaller and smaller things.

     Trust me, I get sometimes between 15-20 pm's in one day! lol

     Maybe it was a knee jerk, but trust me, my lil post on these forums says nothing about how I feel about community. I try to do more for the community than anyone I know.

     I have been on the official forums for a long time now, so we all over there have learned that you have to have a THICK skin. Same goes for here! lol

      Anyway, give the show a listen. We are putting the new one out right now. Check out the Silius interviews...they give a lot of insight into making the game.

    Did they fix the issue of taking away 90% of the character customization just so you can wear a fricking helmet?

     

     They didn't take away 90 percent, Jesus.

     Basically they took out most of the useless crap like "Oh look! I can make my nose have a bump on it!" or "My eyes can be kind of close, and look here, I just made em REALLY close!"

     I got so sick of hearing this stuff on the forums! lol

     Players saying they would quit because they couldn't adjust the bridge of their nose.

     I think those players were just looking for something to get mad about. I mean, that's cool, everyone needs a hobby. People forget that there are still 15 classes, and 15 races. Also, so many classes have so many unique and cool abilities.

     I won;t even go into all the good stuff about the game, because after all, without a choice between a nose with a bump and a nose without one, the game is crap. Also, forget the fact that they are re-doing all the models and will be putting most of the options back.

    The highlight from show 46:
    
    * Guess who's back? That's right. It's SILIUS! Master of all things Vanguard! Not only does he get grilled and chilled by the VoV Criz-ew but he also gives us his opinions about some cool things like "hardcore" and da' riftways!
     
     Be sure to hear the important announcment at the end of the show.
    
     Also, make sure to submit to us (listen to the show for details) by EMAIL your guess as to what Silius' favorite movie is! If you get it guess what? He will name an item after you, in game!!

     PS: We will also be doing a "mini-cast" this week, to dive into some of the subjects we have talked about with Silius. We'll let ya know when and where!
    
     This week's song is picked out by Luper and is Symphony X's  song called "Serpent's Kiss." (Big surprise there, what else would you think a song like that would be called? How 'bout "Going Bowling?" next week is BEAU'S pick!! "   )
    
     PS: If you'd like to listen to me rant and rave (being a lil drunk and a lil sleepy) for 2 hours about gaming and stuff, go listen to The Addicted Gamer HERE.
