@ ;Signe Agreed, and what if you roleplay a loner that travels solo.I don't really roleplay, but when I start a new mmo I tend to play alone at first, then meet people along the way.Developers need to cater to a broader market, have solo content, and content for groups.I feel that group content is good to build a strong community, but like you, I don't want to spam chat "lfg" for hours if I have a short amount of time to play.When I have more time, then I will "lfg" to take down the "Boss Mob of Uber Ownage".

this game is definitely not solo friendly. It will definitely be a group game. What I dont like is the brotherhood/guild crap. Not only is it not solo friendly, you must rely on the progress of others not to mention whether the brotherhood likes ya enough to level you. So umm, what if the brotherhood dude likes his best friends and guildies better than you? You will be the peon until and unless he decides he will advance you over his friends first. Human nature, its gonna happen.It almost forces each and every player to be a guild leader, a brotherhood leader and any other kind of leader simply to ensure advancement.
Not only relying on groups to really make you advance, along with relying on the guild progress (forces you also to become a guild member in only a powerful and huge guild) as well as a brotherhood would surely blast the thot of soloing away as well as rendering this a definite "niche game".

(Not sure if anyone has denied this.) 3. There aren't a lot of items. (This may not be true now.) 4. There aren't a lot of quests. (The idea is you make your own.) 5. What is written on paper, is not what you get in the game. (They removed a lot of the "features".) 6. Farlan/NPCube is a horrible, horrible company. They can't translate worth crap, they promise a lot and don't deliever. They are pretty shady about refunds, promise them one day, then say you can't then say you can. 7. The modirators are fans who supported the game, and now ban/flame anyone who disagrees with them. 8. Even if everything worked correctly, I think the game is pretty damn boring. 9. Bugs, bugs, bugs, and even more bugs.
Pro: 1. God slap. (This still cracks me up.)

PS Most of us here are here for the melodrama. This game is a joke to us.
So are you in beta to answer these questions then?
If so i'll wait till they officially deliever and forsure have some things in, then i'll join when they release a new server but yeh i agree this game sounds like my cake if it does include everything they have mentioned particularly the pvp elements and forts systems.

Originally posted by b0rderline99 everyone is complaining about the release date being pushed back but that doesnt really worry me because this just means a better game at launch so its worth a try i mean im kinda in the same boat as you and it sounds like a SICK game if it comes out like they say it will
I agree but if it doesn't turn out this way UGH, reason i'll probalby wait a few months before getting it. As for this vanguard game it sounds pretty good on the pve side of things, i like the sound of the rogue class it sounds great, Im looking at both DnL and Vanguard

Originally posted by Jackdog Vanguard and DDO both lost any interest I ever had in them with their "group" centric design. That's all well and good if you want to devote the time for that style game, but my time is way too fragmented and my life too complex to spend hours LFG.
My life is simple and I like groups A LOT. I don't understand a MMORPG not heavily group centered.
About losing time LFG, there are ways to solve this. As Vanguard tenets say... don't throw the baby with the basket.

" I've just heard that David Allen has a new project but."
It will get as far as Dominion got.
"Whats wrong with this game"
Theres nothing wrong with the game. It is what it is. There may be something wrong with the 8,000+ people who bought it though.
