Yea, I fell for it also. $50+ dollars to find out in 10 minutes that the game was crap.
OMG you gave it a WHOLE 10 mins! No way, you must have crazy skill.... what did you expect? popping into the world on your dragon mount sitting on top of your keep?
Ill make you a deal, tell me what the best game is then in your opinion and i'll play it for 10 miins as well then i'll tell you all the innovative features i saw in that 10 mins ok? Im waiting.
Seriously, if you have not reached at least lev 10-15 and got your first mount then you really havnt experienced even 1/100th of this game.
Flying mounts WoW has flying mounts. With the Vanguard grind it will take you a year or more of 8 hour/day grinding to get a flying mount. Boats. I don't know anyone who has seen a boat. Again, it will take 1-2 years of 8 hour/day grinding to get one. Plus based on Sigil's track record, I am sure they will be bugged beyond belief. HUGE seemless world to explore Huge yes. Seemless no. There are no loading screens but you know when you cross a chunk. WoW is seemless. I have never noticed crossing a zone line. Not a WoW fanboi but just making an observation.
better crafting system Slightly more complex than EQ2 with one difference. The EQ2 one works.
TONS AND TONS of Quests to do Until you get to level 10 or so. Those are kill 10 rats and report to so and so...
awesome grouping sessions If you BOF (bring your own friends). Groups are rare and hard to find. No LFG tool or anyway to make grouping easier. Plus the group XP suxxor.
awesome graghics The world looks great. Really a beautiful world. However, the character models look slightly better than EQ1 and the character animations are straight out of Computer Science 101 class.
AND i play i high performence (sometimes balanced) and the graghics are still better then EQ2 on medium-high
and im sure there is more that i cant think of. Compared to EQ2, Vanguard is a crude old fashioned looking and playing game. EQ2 sucks but it is 100% better than Vanguard. If more people played EQ2 it would be a really sweet game. Unfortunately you can't find groups in EQ2 either.
anyone else want to add?
Vanguard is a sub par MMO at best. With the bugs it is way below par. Vanguard is certainly not the worst MMORPG ever made but it will be on the top 10 list of failures. It is the wrong game at the wrong time.
I'm guessing you've played the game for a year or two to know that it will take that long to obtain anything.
Stop comparing VG to games that have 2 years worth of patching, it's misleading.
It is also misleading to say that the graphics are crap because your system isn't able to play it with all the fluff on, and to be honest VG doesn't look any worse at the lower setting then any other game.
Don't compare VG's engine to EQ2, they don't use the same one.
Your experience finding groups may not be the same as someone elses. I have yet to have trouble finding one and the XP while grouped and kiling mobs appropriate to the group size is fine.
Prior to lvl 10 I did a multitude of different quests, and not all of them were kill x amount of y.
If you got out of the staring spawn area and travelled down to the coast you would have seen lots of boats.
WoW is not seamless anf if you played when it was released you would have noticed the chunks if you had a pet because they dissapeared. It is also not seamless because you can not travel from one continent to the other without a load screan. Seemless means that you can travel to all ends of the world without having to see a load screen.
Nothing new here that you haven't seen before and unless you have the newest hardware the game is going to look like crap if you want a decent framerate. Whats a decent framerate? 60FPS 100FPS? See below.
Now honestly, if I had an insane computer, and no other issues with this game I could see why some people might like the game and even enjoy it because it's new. Who doesn't like a shiny new game the first few weeks? I'm just saying that after the initial buzz wears off all but the most die hard fanboy's will be playing something else and SOE knew that from the start. They figured they might as well salvage what they could from this resource demanding pig of a game and they sold us, they sold us with the hype, the million dollar marketing budget, and with the help and trust of a buttload of old EQ fan's like me hoping to recapture that initial experience.
Hmm I guess all those people posting about playing the game well with med rig machines are lying eh. I mean would it been a good idea to design a game for low end machines knowing technology changes so fast. Considering mmorpgs are not short term ventures like single player games, aint it nice to think that as technology becomes cheaper the graphics will get better? Instead of people saying in 2 or 3 years time that the graphics are looking dated. Seems to me this is all about u having an issue with SOE
Nothing new in this post really, lots of moans very little substance.
forums.station.sony.com/vg/posts/list.m that is one of MANY posts on how people are having performance issues. But as a Vanboi does, you disregard facts and paint a beautifull picture.
Have you even visited the support forums? They are laden with problems ranging from bugs to performance. Take off the rose colored Vanguard glasses for a second and pull yourself outta Sigils a**.
I know, it is not Sigils client that is borked, it is everyone elses computer that is the problem.

Take your own advice and pull your head out of your own, it's not sanitary.
I was like everyone at first: Gave the game five minutes and then moaned about the $50. After getting out of the starting area I began to explore the world and what I saw stunned me. Sure the games performance is terribly inconsistent, either <2 or >40 FPS on my Radeon X1900XT but while exploring you get used to it. The world is amazing, and I had a great time learning the game dynamics.
In the end, you get what you put in. Don't expect to have great fun without taking the time to have great fun.
I totally understand the OP situation though, and if he feels strongly about it then I wish him the best. For everyone else, try and break through the surface of the game so you can get to the real meat of it, the expansive world, the crafting, the diplomacy, the mobs and most of all, the other players.

Wow, sorry but I just had to reply to this one.
I am really impressed. A support forum where you see posts asking for support ? Have you ever seen a support forum before ? What did you expect to see on a support forum ?
So what ? Your low end computer was made to run Wow but not Vanguard ? So Why don't you stop your nonesense bitching and go play Wow or any other game made for it, or get yourself a half decent box if you want to play Vanguard.
Yea.. everyone else.. sure... I am playing with everything maxed out and 16x anisotropic and it's smooth as silk on my ati x1900xt; this card will soon be 2 years old. If it doesn't work for you it doesn't mean it is not working for everyone else.
Got a poor box ? So change it or play something that was made for it and stop
We, the so called "haters", warned everyone about this game. The only person you can be mad at is yourself. More people say this game is far from being fun, than not. Its too bad in your older, wiser years you haven't learned to trust what people say about games. My experience is that if a lot of people say a game is bad, then its bad. Not if a few fanbois go berserk it must be great.

Obviously you lack reading comprehension. If you took your head outta Sigils buttocks long enough to read my "Quote" where the poster claimed there were no performance issues unless you had a subpar computer. That is pure BS according to the linked post I have supplied. MANY replies in that post are complaining about performance issues on high end computers, hence my reply. Like I said take off the rose colored Vanguard glasses and stop painting a beautifull picture. Especially one that is as poorly coded as Vanguard.
Now get back in bed before mommy grounds you from your computer for a week.

Another simpleton that replied without reading the link. For every 1 person that "claims" VG runs so awesome their are 10 that say it doesn't. Keep on with the Bs because it is you in the end that will be crying. When most of the population leaves due to performance issues then maybe you will pull your head out of the sand.

That was not very mature. Also, performance issues are mostly from those with subpar computers. There are those with high end computers that have problems but those are always resolved through drivers, turning off dual core and revertind to single core, things like that.

Wow, some more nonsense bitching. Geez guys, don't you have anything better to do with your time ?
If you don't like something it does not mean everyone else should think in the same way.
More people say this game is far from being fun, than not ? Please go check the top MMORPG list on the main page; if you don't understand what it is - it's the opinions of the people on this site.
Once your done go take a look at the reviews around the web and then come back to show me all these scores below 5/10.
That being said, yes the game has some issues at launch, like so many MMO's before. So what ? Is this something new ? Everyone knows it, even Sigil said so weeks before the official release.
I have a lot of fun with VG. And I know it will only be better as the time goes by. You like Wow ? So more power to you, go play it.
Yay another Troll who only made his account here to flame Vanguard. 5 posts out of 7 to rip Vangaurd. I think you Username is a tell tale sign of your bias.
Sorry man not buying your act. I play it. It's not a bad game. You have an agenda. We don't care about it.

Do you need me to say it again ?
Do you know what a support forum is ? Do you realize that people with no problem do not post on a support forum
And again, do you realize that if you have a problem or do not like something, everyone else does not have to feel the same way?
Blah blah blah. If you don't like the game, don't play it and get out of it's forums. Pretty simple solution I would think.
1. "don't play it" - agree 100%
2. "get out of it's forums" - disagree 100%.
This is not some kind of 'official' forum for vanguard... this is a forum where people talk about vanguard whether they play it or not. If you want a forum where your statement is true, then petition sigil/soe to give you an official forum. Otherwise, you are living on the street, 'bowling on the sidewalk', and sigil has abandoned you to discuss your game in public.... so expect to get spit on frequently.
Agree and also I am reading these threads to determine whether I want to purchase Vanguard or not. Even the most harsh reviews have a spot of truth in them just as much as glowing reviews have a bit of exaggeration. The people I ignore are those that haven't even played The game and are hEre to responD to player concerns for the sake of 'putting them in their place' for whatever insane reasons.
Why people are forcing themselves to like the game? That is a really weird thing to me.
OP, thats alright... You don't have to play VG.
On a side note... Sure, the only new thing might be diplomacy. But the other systems seen in other MMOs are superior in VG IMO. Crafting would be an example.
It is also misleading to say that the graphics are crap because your system isn't able to play it with all the fluff on, and to be honest VG doesn't look any worse at the lower setting then any other game. Don't compare VG's engine to EQ2, they don't use the same one. Your experience finding groups may not be the same as someone elses.

Sry had to pick up on this, go put VG on the lowest gfx setting and stand a few yards away from a tree.. ive not seen trees as sprites since Doom 1(1993).. lol And unfortunatly a good percentage of players will have to play like this while they w8 for their NASA supercomputer to arrive.
I was hoping VG would be good, but I cant play in a world that looks fake and poorly made.

If you like that then head over to CoX forums where people create accounts just to defend the game. lol
Anyways, what did you like about Vanguard and how does it play on your system? Does leveling speed seem ok? And how about travelling. I'm not a fan of WoW-walk speeds. Does combat have a good visceral feel or is it kind of like WoW(which just feels like a lot of clicks if that makes sense)? How interactive is the environment? How is soloing or should you even bother?
I'm looking for something new and am still on the fence about Vanguard. I am looking for a game that has more depth than my current game CoH/V but still feels quick paced.

Yep... well ...take out the NASA part and I will agree with you. Just by looking at it you can see that VG was not designed to run at lower settings.
I play the game at max settings and for me the game is great. But I don't think I would still be playing it at the lowest settings.

I played a litle closed beta, liked what I saw, but it didn't run that well and crashed out of game a few times. Then I read that the debug code was still in the client during closed beta? So I'm reading, listening, wanting, doubting... and just holding off. I don't understand why sigil doesn't have some kind of trial? no real open-beta, and no trial either? With lots of performance moaning posts floating around, and what I experienced in cb, I have to hold off till a trial...
HEY SIGIL! There is absolutely nothing else on the market worth a damn!! Why don't you put out a trial without the debug code so we can check it out and sign up?! ...(guess no one is listening)..
But back to the post, I so hate the forum nazis... i want to hear it all... the good and the bad. freedom.... i like it.
Yea.. everyone else.. sure... I am playing with everything maxed out and 16x anisotropic and it's smooth as silk on my ati x1900xt; this card will soon be 2 years old. If it doesn't work for you it doesn't mean it is not working for everyone else.
Got a poor box ? So change it or play something that was made for it and stop
Yet the guy posting two posts above you has the same card and gets from 2 to 40 fps.
And the poor people with high-end rigs and dual cards get poor frame rates as dual cards arent supported. So I could go spend $4000 on a pc today with dual cards and get crap performance.

Dual core with a x1300 card. My performance is fine.
Edit: VG isn't the only game out that has issues with SLI or Crossfire. It's still new tech that most PC gamers aren't using, and games don't require that much power so developers may not feel a need to spend time coding to support something that very few people use.

That is pure BS according to the linked post I have supplied. MANY replies in that post are complaining about performance issues on high end computers, hence my reply. Like I said take off the rose colored Vanguard glasses and stop painting a beautifull picture. Especially one that is as poorly coded as Vanguard.Now get back in bed before mommy grounds you from your computer for a week.
I am really impressed. A support forum where you see posts asking for support ? Have you ever seen a support forum before ? What did you expect to see on a support forum ?
So what ? Your low end computer was made to run Wow but not Vanguard ? So Why don't you stop your nonesense bitching and go play Wow or any other game made for it, or get yourself a half decent box if you want to play Vanguard.
Yea.. everyone else.. sure... I am playing with everything maxed out and 16x anisotropic and it's smooth as silk on my ati x1900xt; this card will soon be 2 years old. If it doesn't work for you it doesn't mean it is not working for everyone else.
Got a poor box ? So change it or play something that was made for it and stop
Another simpleton that replied without reading the link. For every 1 person that "claims" VG runs so awesome their are 10 that say it doesn't. Keep on with the Bs because it is you in the end that will be crying. When most of the population leaves due to performance issues then maybe you will pull your head out of the sand.
That was not very mature. Also, performance issues are mostly from those with subpar computers. There are those with high end computers that have problems but those are always resolved through drivers, turning off dual core and revertind to single core, things like that.
If you don't like something it does not mean everyone else should think in the same way.
More people say this game is far from being fun, than not ? Please go check the top MMORPG list on the main page; if you don't understand what it is - it's the opinions of the people on this site.
Once your done go take a look at the reviews around the web and then come back to show me all these scores below 5/10.
That being said, yes the game has some issues at launch, like so many MMO's before. So what ? Is this something new ? Everyone knows it, even Sigil said so weeks before the official release.
I have a lot of fun with VG. And I know it will only be better as the time goes by. You like Wow ? So more power to you, go play it.
Yay another Troll who only made his account here to flame Vanguard. 5 posts out of 7 to rip Vangaurd. I think you Username is a tell tale sign of your bias.
Sorry man not buying your act. I play it. It's not a bad game. You have an agenda. We don't care about it.
Make a difference!
Do you know what a support forum is ? Do you realize that people with no problem do not post on a support forum
And again, do you realize that if you have a problem or do not like something, everyone else does not have to feel the same way?
2. "get out of it's forums" - disagree 100%.
This is not some kind of 'official' forum for vanguard... this is a forum where people talk about vanguard whether they play it or not. If you want a forum where your statement is true, then petition sigil/soe to give you an official forum. Otherwise, you are living on the street, 'bowling on the sidewalk', and sigil has abandoned you to discuss your game in public.... so expect to get spit on frequently.
Agree and also I am reading these threads to determine whether I want to purchase Vanguard or not. Even the most harsh reviews have a spot of truth in them just as much as glowing reviews have a bit of exaggeration. The people I ignore are those that haven't even played The game and are hEre to responD to player concerns for the sake of 'putting them in their place' for whatever insane reasons.
OP, thats alright... You don't have to play VG.
On a side note... Sure, the only new thing might be diplomacy. But the other systems seen in other MMOs are superior in VG IMO. Crafting would be an example.

I was hoping VG would be good, but I cant play in a world that looks fake and poorly made.
If you like that then head over to CoX forums where people create accounts just to defend the game. lol
Anyways, what did you like about Vanguard and how does it play on your system? Does leveling speed seem ok? And how about travelling. I'm not a fan of WoW-walk speeds. Does combat have a good visceral feel or is it kind of like WoW(which just feels like a lot of clicks if that makes sense)? How interactive is the environment? How is soloing or should you even bother?
I'm looking for something new and am still on the fence about Vanguard. I am looking for a game that has more depth than my current game CoH/V but still feels quick paced.

I play the game at max settings and for me the game is great. But I don't think I would still be playing it at the lowest settings.

I played a litle closed beta, liked what I saw, but it didn't run that well and crashed out of game a few times. Then I read that the debug code was still in the client during closed beta? So I'm reading, listening, wanting, doubting... and just holding off. I don't understand why sigil doesn't have some kind of trial? no real open-beta, and no trial either? With lots of performance moaning posts floating around, and what I experienced in cb, I have to hold off till a trial...
HEY SIGIL! There is absolutely nothing else on the market worth a damn!! Why don't you put out a trial without the debug code so we can check it out and sign up?! ...(guess no one is listening)..
But back to the post, I so hate the forum nazis... i want to hear it all... the good and the bad. freedom.... i like it.
Yet the guy posting two posts above you has the same card and gets from 2 to 40 fps.
And the poor people with high-end rigs and dual cards get poor frame rates as dual cards arent supported. So I could go spend $4000 on a pc today with dual cards and get crap performance.

Dual core with a x1300 card. My performance is fine.
Edit: VG isn't the only game out that has issues with SLI or Crossfire. It's still new tech that most PC gamers aren't using, and games don't require that much power so developers may not feel a need to spend time coding to support something that very few people use.
And the other things you said are opinions. And while I respect your views on the game, they are just that... Opinions.
Have you even visited the support forums? They are laden with problems ranging from bugs to performance. Take off the rose colored Vanguard glasses for a second and pull yourself outta Sigils a**.
I know, it is not Sigils client that is borked, it is everyone elses computer that is the problem.
That is funny considering every support forum I've ever looked at is laden with problems ranging from bugs to performanse because that's what the forum is for.
Take your own advice and pull your head out of your own, it's not sanitary.

You used the support forums as evidence that the game has bugs and performance problems and then insult me?
Ok, I concede to your superior intellect.
