Congrats to BoTS on conquering APW!
Nice vid also. Wicked trophy, what's the buff?
Nice work m8, ofc fps sux, but thats VG
. Btw nice to see poeple with nice gear, and grouped like that 
. Gives some hope for me, that after 50lvl i will have where to go 
It provides the same buff as the necklace you get from the Core event. It protects all guild members against the dragon breath attack. Which means you do not have to kill core again to flag people for Kotasoth.
I like the dragon but I can't say I like the rest of it because the spell effects and animations are really lackluster and the fps is soooo low in that video.
'the animations are really lackluster' is a complaint against VG that has been around since beta.
In beta it was justified - some were missing, some were incomplete, performance was so bad you couldn't tell what exactly the animations were.
But now.....the animations are complete and the performance is much smoother and at this point, I can say catagorically that VG has the most complex and extensive set of animations of any MMO on the market today.
There is simply no other game that provides a unique and varied animation for every single power that you execute. Let this false rumor of the 'lackluster' animations die. Even my wife, who doesn't play mmo's or like them one iota was watching my group in RI and was amazed, specifically noting the animations of VG as being 'sleek and smooth'. She was surprised when she found VG had a lower population than most mmo's, because graphically she said it was far superior to any mmo I've played (EQ, EQ2, WoW, GW, SWG).
Animations being bad is an old old VG argument that holds no water any more.

Nice video. I can hardly wait until my guild does the same thing.

I dunno whenever they get hit it's the same animation over and over again and theres no expression in their faces, just look like dolls. Every hit sounds the same no matter what you're hitting it's really weird like a tinny noise or something. Just looking at the combat animations there may be lots of them, I dunno but they are just soo boring and bland to look at it reminds me of EQ which is nearly a 10 year old game now. Looking at the spell effects aswel they just hold nothing on WOW I mean WOW has cool looking ones and the graphics on them are really nice and they are fun to watch but with Vangaurd they are just meh......
The animations of the games you listed apart from WOW suck anyways and SWG's animations were far better back in the day in combat and all the dancing ones and that.
Don't even get me started of the lore and the bad voice acting.
I dunno whenever they get hit it's the same animation over and over again and theres no expression in their faces, just look like dolls.
Same as WoW - same animation when they get hit, no facial expressions. In fact, exactly which mmo are you playing that has the characters make facial expressions each time they are hit? And you also know that when you are hit in WoW, its the same animation over and over again, slightly varied by when you are stunned or knocked down?

This isn't about animations at all.
Just looking at the combat animations there may be lots of them, I dunno but they are just soo boring and bland to look at it reminds me of EQ which is nearly a 10 year old game now.
In EQ each race had two animations. One for melee, one for casting. For examples the human melee animation would start with the arm extended straight up and then come straight down, a very unnatural, stiff animation, on every single swing no matter what, this was the one and only animation for melee. For casting, the characters actually stood still doing nothing until the spell bar went off and then every single character does the same thing - they arch back a little with their arms in a rightish angle then lunge forward -except frogs - they flip. How VG's animations could remind you of this, I have no earthly idea. This comparison actually makes me laugh, because I have friends who returned to EQ, I am playing VG, when I went over and watched them play, I thought, 'my God, its like they are playing stick figures'.
Incidently, this is almost the same for WoW. There are two basic animations, one for casting and one for melee. There are slight variations like warriors moving fast when charging, or the rogue spin.
In contrast, when a rogue performs a certain action in VG, they quickly spin with their back to the mob, cross their arms in front of them, then stab at the mob with a swift ninja like move before quickly spinning around again. And this is just one animation of many, far far more complex and supercoool looking. If you are playing on a good rig and play VG for any length of time, this should be abundantly clear.

Again, this isn't about animations at all.
Look, it is just opinion. You like WoW animations better than VG's. That's fine, believe it or not, I like WoW's animations too. But I would never in a million years say that VG's were stiff, boring or imply that they were primative. They are highly technical, complex and varied, surpassing all character animations in all mmo's up to this point. You can still look at that and say 'meh', but you try to imply that they took a step backwards when in fact it is a huge leap forward in technology.
Just out of curiosity, what level and class was you VG character, and when was the last time you played it?
Can anyone tell me the name of the song in the video please?
Dead as dead can be
ing disappoint me
ing disappoint me
The doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your abilitiy to become
My perfect enemy
Wake up (why can't you)
and face me (come on now)
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
cuz maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
What you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up (why can't you)
and face me (come on now)
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
cuz maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way [x3]
You're better off this
You're better off this
Maybe you're better off
Wake up (why can't you)
and face me (come on now)
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
cuz maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll walk away and say
You
Maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me [x4]
You
Passive-aggressive bullshit [x12]
A nice choice for the event I thought.
Thanks a lot!
So WoW is your high bar for animations?I dunno whenever they get hit it's the same animation over and over again and theres no expression in their faces, just look like dolls.

All that and yet I still know WOW looks better.
+ I don't know maybe you just don't have any eyes but when playing both WOW 's art style just makes you look at bland old Vanguard and throw up lol. The game looks soooo bad and it's sooo generic and I don't care about how many animatiosn there are or what.... just when playing WOW the animations look more fluid and alot better.
All I got in Vanguard was graphics that make me wanna puke and frigging dolls with no expression that everytime they got hit made the same noise and bent backwards a little bit with the same animation time after time which was very bad.
