dude i gave valid arguement of your post of half truths and make believe and you responded by calling me a cum dumpster, a faggot, and telling me to fuck off. Now you claim I have nothing of substance to say and you are taking the high road. ROFL, this is golden.

Care to point me to the verbal attacks in my posts before you attacked me? hint: there are none.

There really are lots of things I could say. Things about how you interjected a non-relevent post that when looked at is completely void of any meaningful contribution to this thread (save the entertainment value that comes from anyone getting flamed), and how the two attempts you did make were actually just flat-out inaccurate.

But the fact is I honestly believe you to be one of those special cases that proves the point--the internet arguing and special olympics thing, you know the one!

yawn ....whatever helps you sleep at night.

What happened to 2bit, is the how far the quality of FoH flammage has dropped?

[Draegan]

Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: Never get into a forum war with a VG fanboy!

[Danth]

Draegan, my favorite part about that particular movie scene is the way he's completely correct. He indeed cannot choose either cup.

In other news, Vanguard still suffers some of the fundamental issues it always has. Dungeons are mostly easy, even with less than a full group. Indeed, having a full group devolves much content to the level of, "partially-trained monkeys could succeed." This provides considerable amusement when the community rants about the hated 'easymode' Warcraft. Qalia still looks like a nuclear wasteland, much of the sand shining so bright that it hurts my eyes. The interface still malfunctions and glitches out with irritating frequency.

Vanguard has its strong points. They're just not that numerous, not that well executed, and not as memorable as the problems.

I agree. Vanguard has some fun/challenging raid encounters, but the group content is not challenging at all, especially if you have a bard.

And before anyone mentions the griffon questline, just stop. Camping named isn't challenging. True, some of those old targ named aren't pushovers, but most people could kill em after a couple tries if they weren't perma camped.

[Laerazi]

For any of the graphic whores who might care, I guess this is the new Thestran male model. Doesn't look bad; a bit more heroic in proportion and body texturing is better. Added old Qaliatharian model next to it for comparison.

[Vatoreus]

where can we find pics of all the new models? if they've been released that is

[Grave]

That model is slightly better, but not as big a change as I was personally hoping for. If the animations remain the same it really won't matter at all visually, but I guess it could help performance if the model is structured better.

I'd like to see the other races if anyone has links.

[Vatoreus]

Yea, that's another thing. If the animations still look like ass, model changes won't mean dick.

[Digits]

Does anyone have the link to input trial codes? I have some from the Collectors Edition that my brother bought (lol) and once every few months I like to check on the progress and see if it catches my fancy. The only problem is this time I cannot seem to enter trial codes with Sony. Am I wrong in looking for a specific entry page, and should just enter the trial code like it was a normal game key?

[Arrr]

Nice. In the opening address by Smed where he went through all of the various SOE games and all their upcoming products, he mentioned FREE REALMS and SWG, but never mentioned Vanguard once. Not even when he was talking about their new station launcher voice chat thingy and how it's going to work with all their MMOs.

If that's not writing on the wall, I don't know what is.

[Joster]

I KNOW
that pissed me off so much.... hate SMED...hate that he doesn't support Vanguard.

If it wasn't for him Vanguard would never have been released, so don't hate him too much.
