It would be different if there was any real new info to be had here but it's really just a bunch more screenshots and typical Brad postings of "It's really awesome and super cool and spectacularmondo!"

I'm all for him pitching his game but if all he is going to do is post screenpics and tell us how we're all going to be blown away by the freedom to adventure in a game with more then one type of grass and the ability to camp spawns on beaches, each with unique grains of sand then this is the wrong sub-forum. Screenshots is two clicks down.

But worry not, we can anticipate over 20 gaming sites will have even more sreenshots and professional gameplay reviews like, "I spent nearly 2 hours trying to make my gnome as fat as possible, I had alot of fun!" and "Running around the newbie area is simple and I killed some snakes and boards and fun!!!" and "I met with one of the programmers, he grabbed my ankles and pleaded for me to kill him, it was fun!!!!!!"

I swear to god some people will just bitch about anything.

Can you people shut the fuck up for one god damn Vanguard thread?

Dynalisia · 10-13-2006, 06:36 AM

I see Vanguard now has some kind of environment shadows.

Kodylan · 10-13-2006, 06:40 AM

This isn't spamming at all, kasey shut the hell up.

Guild Lackey · 10-13-2006, 08:18 AM

Some of the new info and screens are looking cool. Like that dragon one. Gotta say though, you gotta do something about your home page, Brad. Shitty ten year old geocities themes with poor alignment just doesn't cut it.

We know that Vanguard is changing with every patch and that every patch brings something new. We also know that you guys make one press-conference after the other in order to promote your game. There is absolutely no need to inform us about every single step of yours.

Just cut out all the news crap like "Boys and girls, you won't believe it, but today I had cornflakes for breakfast", get your game ready and show us the final product. That way you will spare yourself writing all those "I promise, it will get better"-postings and us the speculation if it is really possible that Vanguard can become a halfway decent game in the end or not.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to add my standard phrase to these threads: "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam!" which is latin for "Vanguard sucks!".

P.S.: Those screenshots look nice. While you give your best to make the game look like a slideshow, I am sorry to inform you that a game is more than watching pictures.

Muligan · 10-13-2006, 08:41 AM

Neric makes a good point, though harsh, but it's still valid.

The problem I have thus far compared to all the other MMORPG's that I have watched, beta'd, played, whatever is I don't know what i'm looking forward to in this game? I really haven't seen VG tout what will be so next generation compared to everything else. New graphics? That's cool but it won't make the game successful over time (Core gamers need more). "Been playing game "X" and tired of it? Come play our game where we are doing an EQ1 foundation, tweaked with WoW, and some beefed up EQ2 graphics(debatable)" This doesn't tell me anything... Really i'm not even sure if the game is tweaked with WoW but, from what I have read from different sites it's going to have an old school feel with some updated mechanics. We haven't improved on anything?

I want to like this game...I really do. I want it to be the next big thing that will last for 3-5 years. Honestly Brad, I don't think it's heading that direction. I can't speak for everyone but, so far people are not going to throw down current games for what you are demonstrating. Right now it looks like Station Pass people will play it and maybe people who plan on "trying" the game.

This is just my thoughts and feelings thus far... overall, i'm just not excited as I thought I would be.

Take care,

Frankly I don't know why Aradune posts here at all and puts up with all the negativity. I sure as hell wouldn't in his position. There are plenty of forums out there with friendlier and more mature communities.

Easy. He knows that the opinions from people on this board amount to about .00000000000000005% of the collective opinion. People trash him here the same reason they trash anyone else on these forums - just to be a fucking prick.

It's fun to take pot shots at people behind a veil of anonymity. All the cool kids are doing it.

Windemere11 · 10-13-2006, 08:56 AM

Brad,

Your game looks fantastic and is going to be highly successful. I doubt it will ever achieve the subscription numbers that WoW has, but WoW has those numbers mostly because it can be played by a 7 year old. There are other mature gamers out there that are looking for a game that has a higher degree of difficulty than what WoW currently provides. Ignore all the freaks that decide to come into a thread that's marked "Vanguard infoz" and then get pissed off when "OMG this thread is about vanguard! How DARE Brad talk about his game on *MY* boards". The people who have nothing that comes close to resembling a productive life so they must view and reply to things they don't like. Let those people stay in WoW... please, I don't want them in Vanguard and your game will be much better off without them.

The game looks sweet as hell and I can't wait to play it.

/invites the "PMG VANBOI" posts

In the interest of full disclosure I have 5 lvl 60s in WoW and have been in a Naxx raiding guild. I still enjoy the game, sometimes... I'll also be purchasing EoF when it comes out in just a couple weeks, hoping that it will recapture some of that old EQ feel.

Dashal · 10-13-2006, 09:03 AM

Yep I agree here, nothing new in the articles that I saw. I'm guessing they are geared more towards the "never heard of Vanguard" people. I'm thinking there are not many of those on this board though. These folks (including me) are waiting for the real info. Stuff you wont get until you play yourself or the NDA is dropped and people spill their guts on everything in the game.

That said, nice screenshots. I like the mounts. If you can get the game to look reasonably like that on an average machine, good on ya.

Here's the thing: If you don't want to be labeled a Vanboi, don't break out the standard "OMG WoW is for 7 year olds & Vanguard will be like solving differential equations every time you're in combat!" response that is the calling card of every VG forum zealot. VG is not a "difficult" game (even compared to EQ2 or WoW) unless your idea of difficult is a tedious leveling curve. If that's what you're looking for that's fine, but call a spade a spade.

Edit: As for the topic of the post, the screenshots look good. I'm not terribly interested in reading more PR reports, but I certainly don't begrudge Brad his right in posting them here.

Crap · 10-13-2006, 09:16 AM

I cant see how you're expecting to draw people off wow with a game that:

a. has a tedius leveling curve and (grind does not = gameplay)
b. requires a sli setup to even reach decent framerates

Thats not even getting into the actual mechanics of gameplay. I mean, by all means keep supplying us all with info here. It just seems to me that no matter what caliber of a game you're developing you've shot yourself in the foot from the start.

Wizarddeath · 10-13-2006, 09:22 AM

Looking good. Fuck all the negative people on this forum, they will fight just about anything.

I plan on picking up a copy for sure.

One sugguestion, could we have an ID check and IQ check before people log on? ><
