  • Let me toss this out... Planetside went to in game ads, and the ads were pretty silly.  This is a established game; with most the costs of having made it and all the hardware already paid for.  They just recently upped the monthly fee on the game…
  • Its amazing what people are suppose to buy into and forget.  Sure its been a long time in the making, but the info and communication on the internet have grown.  Its a lot harder to pull the wool over peoples eyes and get the sheep to buy into the e…
  •  Time is only a "challenge" for those people who can not spend 8 to 10 hours a day playing a game and have to fit their playing of a game into their busy lives. Death Penalty - Your being punished for dying.  The "penalty" in Van is the loss of tim…
  • Originally posted by baphamet heh, you obviously haven't been following vanguard for a bit...let me clear something up for yeah. Obviously eh?  My Van forum account dates from 2 days after the forums went up.  I had the Van site book marked befo…
  • Originally posted by crusher143 On the other hand my guess is, if they r done with the main things they have to fix / add they will polish these things, remember they still have at least a half year time so I wouldnt say now just cause of a beta vi…
  • Its sad when MMO PR has become very similar to used cars sales, and all the weaselly half truths they tell to get some poor schmuck to buy a lemon.  Even worse, get a "support" network of people who make money off the sales of those lemons to help "…
  • I don't care if SOE has a good hardware infrastructure.. that's only one small part of the over all game experience.  Its a plus, but its greatly outweighed by SOE's history of systematically revamping game play for the "better". I put my Van purch…
  • Just to put everyone in the right frame of mind.. Car antennas make a dang good weapon for short term use vs flesh Carpet armor - they use it in SCA all the time How about the heavy sheet of plastic with the nibs on the bottom for office chairs o…
  • Joe also mentioned the possibility of including the symbiotes as a playable race. This would give players the opportunity to shift hosts and to make the decision of whether to be Tok'Ra or Goa'Uld in their behaviors. Giving the players what he calle…
  • I'm going to have to chime in on this... I've already said it a couple times, but going to say it once again.. The character, its stats, its skills, and the players knowledge on how to use them should always be more important then what gear they…
  • Shout out to Icarus! Present and unaccountable!
  • EQ it took me about 6 months to max out my Bard and start the Raid&Grind. WoW it took me 3 months to get to 60th and fully decked out in Raid Gear. EQ was a lot more fun socially as a game. WoW was a lot more fun at its base till 50th when…
  • sinoth, That's exactly what I thought when I read this thread.. between the couple ideas posted here, there exists a VERY good crafting system in the making. The basics have been covered, the processes have been covered, and all that would be left…
  • Lets just say I agree and offer some thoughts on improving it.. Trade Skills and Overlays I like items, but think they could be given more depth and meaning. To do this, the setup would have to be linked to tradeskills. Start small and go from th…
  • Here's how I see it.. Look back to the old old games out there.. back when video cards were a twinkle in someones eye. What you could do with graphics was severally limited and all pushed through the same pipe. The video card comes along and the …

  • Here's how a Global Quest could work in a FE setting. Games been live for 3 months, a content addition is made real time. Certain NPCs start reporting that they heard of a mutant band with a new weapon and they've taken over a old factory in the n…
