Sigil needs to stop with the fucking help farmer joe or shopkeep fagalot gather x and focus on solid class specific quests. If I’m a rogue I want quests to find my rogue brotherhood(which should be well hidden in new targ or something). Rise up in the ranks(something beyond just levels and gear). Gather rogue shit. Slice some throats to make my trainer happy. Fuck, I want to kill the mayor of happytown if I could. That should be 80% of the quests right there.
All poison making should be quest driven as well. Make us earn that poison recipe to dip our blades into. Also, poisons should mostly be for procing dmg/debuffs off our daggers not fucking one shot shit. If you made a fucking complex tradskill out of it you fucked up.
Also, less attacks that feel like spells. I hear there is a problem there, heh. If I press and attack button my character better damn well make and cool animation and mean something. Exploiting weaknesses should be 100% visually recognized on the mobs themselves. Fuck you if you think I’m going to look at a reaction bar or for tiny icons all day. And too much button smashing will make most people find another game.
Vanguard needs some fucking markets. Give me a place to sell my shit while I shoot the bull with other vendors. Where are all the arenas? How about a coliseum with gladiatorial fights? Doesn’t EQ2 have this shit? How about something like Roman Carnaval horse racing that I can bet on? Put some fucking life into your game. Even a small town can have some form of market and gambling. If I was a high level player in Vanguard I would be pissed off I have no place to show off my fancy gear. None of this is too hard with the talent sigil has put together.
With today’s scripting tech you can’t have mobs raiding towns and strongholds? Wouldn’t that make vanguard seem more alive and engaging? From the screenshots it looks like vanguard is looking plenty good enough. If I was brad I would light a fire under the programmers(I hear the game runs choppy even with sound off on a good machine. Heh) and content devs(zzzzzzz boring game) or replace them now before it’s too late. Or is it bad leadership and focus on what is truly fun?
But then again I’m not in beta so what the hell do I know. Sorry for the crazy rant. I’m really quite insane you know? Back to the SS forum with me!
