    Hey everyone,



    i know everyone gives this game slack but you never know if they are lying or telling the truth with regards to mmo's. Is there a free trial for this game? Hey i honoslty wish there was a trail or even a mention that a trail is comming directly from SOE but lets stick with the fact we see on this forums about 20/30 topics about people asking for a trail so honostly what makes your post different then theirs  (lets not only make post but also try and use the internet )



    also if any players out there, how are the caster classes? eg. wizzard etc. Necro and Psi is where i have some expriance with and have fun with these classes, but remember i aint some Elitist as my main is STILL.... YES STILL.... lvl 16 as  lately been involved with some other games as thats just me a game junky  Do don't take my advise to serious numerous of Elititst will laugh at me for having a main toon lvl 16 after little more then 4 months of play, especialy when they read i try to give advice cause for those Elitist someone with a lvl 16 toon is not able to give advise as they think everyone grinds these day's and want to be max lvl within a month if not sooner. Then you have the blinded haters who are so blind that when someone speaks about game issues they still will say that someone like that denies any issue with Vanguard

    what about healers? they gimped without a group ? Don't know much about healer classes tbh i don't really care with what clas i group aslong its fun and challenging. Actualy i most mmo"rpg"i tried to avoid groups calling for "healers/tanks/dps as such a basic is old and as far my experiance go isn't really needed unless you group with persons that have no idea what theri class are capeble of. Sure its nice to have a healer nearby but not having one doesn't make a dungeon restricted or less challenging, actualy it can be more challeging to survive without having a main healer, but again thats just me trying to challenge myself in a mmorpg instead of letting the game write my lesser challenge layout path.
    Fact remians the game has issues that for some reason effect others more then some. Hitching is a problem i feel safe to say everyone is effected mostly in city's or crowded area's,(afcourse some more then others) the hitching becomes less or completly disappearce when being in that same area for from what i can tell atleast after 5/10 minutes. Zoning still excist and you will lose maybe your horse (mainly re-mount and its back) or invis. The horse thing i noticed seem to only effect my Bard and with the region of Hathor Zhi as not one of my other chars has ever lost his horse due to chunking( so i feel some issue are either race/class related where it does not effect everyone.) You need a good and balanced computer, lets be honost unless someone does not really care about graphics i can understand them having no problem playing at the lowest setting, but mainly i feel playing at the lowest setting will take away some of the beauty Vanguard is. (Medium/Balance will do fine aswell high performance with sliders moved up in settings) Don't play the game with a onboard videocard (some will probebly be able to play the game but i don't think unless we have onboard 8 series that a onboard is enough to really enjoy a high system demanding game. As far bugs go again some notice them more hten others, it also has to do with the fact if one grinds thru the game or actualy tries to play it.
    Honostly if you the type of player with patients that does not get upset due to things not right (yet) if you are able to be constructive or just simply leave a game when it does not seem fun and you have a sortof passion towards mmorpg then i welcome you (and if your system is what is needed to enjoy the game afcourse). Performance in lots of ways have improved but in some ways  effecting others it hasn't. Those from beta till current can't deny a hugh performance increase, still doesn't make the game greatly playeble at mid-low ends. It was funny last week was trying abit of AO and i saw a person saying "Wow i still hitch somewhat here (AO) but when i tried Vanguard i could not even move" This really made me lmao as i feel that if people would still hitch in a game like AO then its safe to say they definitly have not upgraded their system for quite some years so unbelieveble that people like that even try Vanguard l;et alone we see such persons also complain on forums. I mostly say be realistic when it comes to what to expect from your system.

    Thanks
    Also a reason of my main being only lvl 16 is because i DO read plans of SOE and complaint from players so why should i be such a fool to pursuit things that are obviously not finished or implemented yet, ah maybe to be able to say i'm bored when i reach the point thats not finished yet? nah don't think so. Besides when i'm online i don't go on to get a lvl no i get on to escape in this fantasy world or other game which i might get into. Like i said its a HUGH FACT that grinders seem to grind themself to boredom, just look at these forums at games released 5 months ago or one game was released even 2 months ago and you already hear people say they maxed out and now bored or lost their motivation to play. Like i said they even do not seem to realize that they do it themselfs. But they try in every possible way to put the blame on a game....lol

    Arrgg sorry bit of a rant day for me it seems

    There is a trial... Unless SOE decided to nix all of the unused trial keys that are/were sold with the game... I still have 6 or so on a sheet somewhere.

    Environment Team

    The team’s primary task this milestone is working what we’re calling the “trial island”. The island is being built using highly optimized existing assets in an effort to establish a new art content pipeline that is able to produce, in laymen’s terms – cool looking stuff that won’t make your computer explode – quicker than we’ve previously been able to do so.

    The overall benefit for the trial island is that we are working on heavily optimizing existing assets. The knowledge learned through this will then be applied to existing art assets in the game therefore increasing performance. In addition we will be using the completed island (which will feature a couple dungeons as well as diplomacy and crafting content) as a free downloadable “Vanguard demo”.

     

     

    I love how they're optimizing a "Trial Isle" (Everquest 2 anyone?  suckiest trial that was in existence) for Vanguard.  Talk about your "bait and switch" tactics.  Optimize the hell out of a trial so newbs think "Hey...what was all the ruckus about...this plays great".  Then they buy and get the real game when they realize something's a little fishy in the state of Telon.  They're optimized world isn't so optimized after all.  That's when the new rube is handed the line of how SOE is "working real hard on these issues".

    Just another SOE tactic to suck out the money from clueless rubes.

    Vanguard....just let if die in peace and just say "No"

     

     

    Never be afraid of choices. More choices are always good things.

    Unfortunately you dont know what you are talking about. The old EQ2 trial of the isle was much more demanding in hardware then the real zones on mainland. The 2nd trial was a 1:1 copy of the real faydwer content. But if you feel better thinking SoE is the evil then keep it up. Cant be helped.

    If you are not of the regular burn SOE at the pole crowd one would assume you read that. Or no you didn't?

    I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.
