Totally couldn't be farther from the truth. Vanguard is quest based. Tons of stuff to do and all about stories. Being totally clueless FTW!

Chikaca could not be further fromt he truth.
Okay fanbois so there is quests like in every other game. Tell me guys what is the compelling storyline in Vanguard?
1) Not a Fanboi, I just don't like when people make up things they obviously don't know about.
2) If you hadn't made up facts, others wouldn't have to point it out.
But I'll enlighten you:
The Storylines in Vanguard are not only incredibly deep, vary from Race to Race, and vary from Class to Class, they are also inter-woven into Diplomacy Missions & effect Factions. Even the God you choose will effect the Storyline. Cities are at war with eachother, various cults fight for control, Assasins attack npc's and control of an area may depend on the choices you & your Guild make. The story evolves while you are in it.
This game has taken Storylines to a new level in MMO's. The only games that will even be close will be AoC & Fallen Earth, and that's if they can pull them off...
1) Going to the extremes and saying I could not be further from the "truth" tells me you are extremely hyped about this game and it looks like you are really buying all that has been promised about this game and going all defensive when someone says something bad about it. Thus making you a fanboi!
2) You do not know what I am basing my comments on. Making it up or speaking from experience.
Your delusions is soon to come to an end tho or you get what you wanted since I don't know what you want, but I know for a fact that Vanguard is not what I want.

1) No, it means you could have not been further from the truth. That would be the same if I hated the game. If you weren't making something up and just saying "I don't like this game" then you wouldn't have seen a reply from me, or the others that know you're making things up.
2) Yes, I do know. If you had a clue, you wouldn't have even come close to saying that. You don't know what I basing my comments on. What I DO know and CAN say is that if you had ANY experience with this game, you would have known better then to post made-up "facts".
Thank goodness Vanguard is not for you, it should help the game's social level.
I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!
Originally posted by Alaten Seems like a great game. Too bad it takes 3x longer and 5x harder to accomplish something. Maybe WoW has tainted me from the Everquest days, or maybe it's because I can't dedicate my life to a MMORPG. Either way it seems like a huge timesink, even worse than EQ was in 99. Any game that causes me to curse this often is not worth playing. Taking 10 hours nonstop and seeing your bar move an inch is jut not fun for me anymore.
Ya really its much funner banging off 15 levels in a few hours. Dont kid yourself it might be easier to level in some games but they more than make up for it with countless ,pointless timesinks, kinda like World of Warcraft biggest bait and switch ive ever seen in a game
I got an email from my old guildies in EQ2 saying they were going to start Vanguard, so of course I will be there...we will make the best of it. I burnt on EQ2 and have been playing Anarchy Online for some mindless PvE and tower PvP - sadly out of balance game. Vangaurd is coming to the rescue just in time for me. I am ready to role up another fantasy.
Originally posted by Samuraisword I recommend waiting. Too many unsubstantiated claims are being made.
Yes, I agree. There is a lot of competition with the new MMORPGs coming out in '07 and waiting to see how the games do from the beginning is probably the best financial decision. I hate investing early on the monthly payments and then finding out I don't care for the game and the month to month fees are just too high.
I'll be playing from launch, but will force myself to go slow and enjoy the game more. Past 2 games (WoW & EQ2) I rushed. While raiding is fun when you are with the right people, it simply makes things boring sooner.
I intend to buy one of the collector editions but, I will be waiting for one month after release until I play so that some of the bugs will have been worked out. I will enjoy the classes placed in the game at that time no matter what they may be.
It's really hard for me not to play right away but, I do feel it is best for me to wait one month based on my experience from many other games.
rumor has it the wise people will wait. I called this on DNL and a lot did not listen.. will I hit it again a second time? Only fools pre order any game unless they are in beta. If the game is good it will be around a long time. If it sucks you save yourself some cash and frustration.
Originally posted by Quaglia I'll play from day one. My housband is saving his days off from work to be at home the firts week of Vanguard . Pity I can't do the same with my job.
LOL lucky him. Will be hard to go back to work I think. I will probably use a few sick days at launch also. I will hopefully be upgrading my computer too. 8800 would be nice, 768 onboard ram mmm mmm good!

Nothing better than the first week of a new game (apart from the minor bugs) lol
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
I miss DAoC
I am upgrading my PC to latest CPU, graphics card and Vista on April. I will only play VG after that.
