| I have too been a bit disappointed with the rather combative nature of most folks in game. IE "Go back to wow if you don't like it" there is the definite idea that Vanguard is for only elite gamers or whatever. Personally I haven't found many of the encounters to be all that challenging. Maybe I haven't been doing level appropriate stuff, but in WoW and EQ a dungeon group definitely didn't have nearly as many outs incase something goes bad. All of that being said I am still having a blast.
Regarding groups, I really don't know what to say. It is alot like most MMO's, if I ever wanted something done I had to make the group. Not really a big deal, but once I get a group together, there is definitely a tendency to stay together, maybe thats a result of the difficulty to get good groups. I am definitely happier with the overall quality of people that I meet up for a group though and will often stay in a group for 2 or 3 hours once it gets going good.
My biggest gripe right now is how everything is faction based, for example right now, doing swamp armor you have an option to go for three flavors of gear however every flavor has its own faction based set that to get one you potentially ruin the others. Not to mention there aren't many healers that go after the offensive fighter flavor of gear. Thats a pretty petty gripe imho though as I am having tons of fun doing all sorts of different quests and grouping fairly regularly. What is nice though that while I am grouping I can be in the same area that a group is needed for and if I am smart I can solo for armor drops while waiting on a group to get going.
Try seradon if you are looking for groups in the 10-15 range, last night I saw people spamming for that range constantly. (Well maybe 20ish, not positive) |
