Why would you even try to use such a weak argument. The game dwarfs any competition in scope and size, yet you try to apply developement cycles of much smaller games to vanguard . Vanguard was designed from the ground up to let players reach ever single facet of the world. That means the devs have to make everything in the world interesting... no small feat. Now compare this to WoW which also took 5 years to release. The game is nowhere close to the size of Vanguard, and they used instancing. 20% of the Azeroth is unreachable by design.. meaning the world is smaller yet. I play the Vanguard, and enjoy it. The bugs make me furious sometimes but they are not gamebreaking. I also played WoW and REALLY enjoyed it till I hit 60. It was missing something... that Vanguard has delivered.
If you didn't care for the endgame in WoW, you are really gonna hate Vanguard in a few months.... There isn't even an endgame to hate. Of course it's fun now, everything is easy and rewarding at the low levels. It doesn't get more challenging later, XP gain just gets slower and everything gets ridiculously expensive. After a few months you will have seen every inch of what you now consider a huge world, it really isn't all that big, and with every race having its own low level areas on the map, there isn't actually that much real-estate devoted to high level encounters. It's pretty fun to try out the different classes and races, so that should give you something to do for a while.... but eventually you'll realize that it isn't bigger in scope than most other MMOs.... And I really doubt it's going to stand up too well against the games coming out in the next 6 - 12 months. I don't think that content wise it is a bad game. I just think it's inaccurate to imply that it is somehow leaps and bounds ahead of everything else out there. I would interested to see how your opinions on the overall scope of the game in another couple of months.
Normally I would think that 6 months after release, a new MMO would already be getting a bunch of new content... but they will still be busy trying to get this one in the shape it should have been in before it was launched.
Haha thanks for telling me what you don't know. I played EQ and loved the end game. I played WoW and didn't. I don't need you to explain my MMO experience... I've been playing them for a long time. Btw, I can imply whatever I want sir, it's my opinion.
Also, while it's been released for a week or so now, it's been in DEVELOPMENT for 5 and a half years. Compare the functionality of the game with the allotted time for it's completion. I'd say it's sub-par, at best.
I have been following these forums and reading about whining for days now, we know the game was released to early and why it was so.
That said, not one of the whiners has been able to give me the name of only 1 game that is as beautiful, complete and offers as many possibilities as Vanguard.
I'm still waiting.
well actually, every game i played the last 3 years does.
i can even make it easier for you...
there is not a single MMO i played the last 2 years (EQ2, daoc with catacombs, guildwars, WoW and many more) that look THIS CRAPPY + make it run as bad as it does
any of the above games lookes at LEAST 10-20 times as good as vanguard on my system.
YES i know thats on my current settings, but you cannot compare "gameplay" settings to "screenshot" settings can you?
if you cant have 200+ people in the same zone without a problem (daoc/eve/wow/eq2 and many more can easy on best settings) then there is no argument according to gameplay at all is there?

I didn't try to stop you from voicing your opinion, I just disagreed with it. You're right, I don't know about your MMO experience, but I never claimed to. What I do know about you is that you are incapable of having a rational discussion with someone who has a differing opinion. I also have to assume that your reading comprehension skills aren't that great, since you missed the point to just about everything I said in response to your post.... not that I expect much from the guy who posted this as one his four posts on this board...
