I seem to recall hundreds of posts stating not to worry, SOE was only producing the game. Well, its obvious with the early release, bugs, terrible customer support, and pricing that SOE is heavily involved. SOE sure has a way of repeating their mistakes over and over. I recall being a beta tester in SWG. The game was definitely nowhere near ready for release. Nor was there any talk of release on the beta forums. Beta was assumed going to last many more months. Suddenly out of nowhere SOE announced the game was going gold in two weeks. Sound familiar ? Vnaguard devs were talking about the moving on to the next stage in beta. Testers were posting the game was still months away from being ready. Companies like EB Games had estimated release dates for May. And suddenly once again a game with the ugly name of SOE on announces its going gold. I know dozens of friends in other MMO's that still dont know Vanguard was even released. They havent followed the game that closely as they wrongly assumed it was 6 months away from launching. Vanguard definitely needed more development time. If you enjoy working games with few issues, then stay away from this clunker. I played the game for 3 days, thats all I could stand. There were major exploits. One friend of mine couldnt explain how he got to level 18 by only killing 50 mobs but he did. The lag is so bad the game is unplayable. And Im not talking about lagging out because there are 20 people around. I didnt see more than 4 people together in one place. Anytime some npc guards walked near me, I lagged out. And dont blame my system...AMD FX2, 4 gigs ram, dual 7800 512mb cards in sli (thats 1g total video ram), and 30mbps cable internet connection. For those with nvidia cards, enjoy many errors. Each time I entered any body of water my screen went black. Sometimes typing /flush fixed it. Other times I had to reboot. I could go on and on about many other issues but who has the time. And it seems SOE knew this game wouldnt be that big of a hit when it launched...i saw 6 servers to choose from roughly, not a lot of confidence there eh SOE. To put that number into perspective, Matrix has 3 servers and its one of the lousiest mmo's of all time. And finally, SOE has in place its world-famous flogging pay system. Want extra toons, give us more money. want access to stats of your toon, give us more money. How about some other useless feature, only 99 cents more. It was like signing up for EQ2 all over again where every little thing had a surcharge for it. SOE charges premium fees for features everyone else gives away for free. The only reason I even tried this game was a friend of mine bought the game, tried it for one day and gave it to me. Due yourself a favor, dont waste any money on thi game. Like all SOE products, there is some potential there but it will never be realized.
Go away.
Your stench is all of this worthless copycat of a post that's happened 100 times already.
Actualy your the trolls here. He has given a VERY acurate portrayal of what this game is and is destined to be, just another trainwreck bought up by SOE thinking they can squeez some pennys out of it..
Cal QFE! Rofl Soe gets worse every day, I don't get why would they bring this Beta/game out with WOW's expansions comming at the same time? The sales speaks for it self.
