Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

If you are thinking of playing vanguard saga of heroes maybe you should bear in mind this post although anyone can post his/her dissaproval.

If you dont want to go nuts and think you have thrown 40$ into the trash dont even bother to buy this game.

Mainly because of its Patch downloader which in the best cases it takes 30-40 hours and normally takes 70-200 hours even if you got the best 10mbps internet cause it always downloads from 2-14 kps.

But not only the download time is absolutely weird, every 10 minutes the download stops and advises you that the file is "bad" and you have to redownload that file so forget about leaving it while sleeping.

Thank you for reading this thread and hope you submit your posts if you dont agree with what i have posted. 

For me, the patches seem to be the only thing that download/run pretty smooth here... I wish it could be said from the game itself.

I patched up in full in just under an hour so I don't know what you are talking about. I installed and patched at about 6 pm, and was ready to play by 7pm and I have 8mb cable internet.

Maybe you shouldn't post subjective stuff like this without doing your research....

same here! my patching is usualy done in less than an hour even with the bigger patches, the whole game only took about 4 hours.

Maybe you have background programs running that are slowing your progress down OP? is there any way you can block how much data you download? sorry not too technical minded :)

Look on the Vanguard official forums in connection issues and see what pple talks about most

I played quite a bit of Vanguard (no beta) the week it was released, quit like most others.  I would like to go back if the game was better,  but I suppose I was a lucky one.. I never really suffered from a lot of lag or graphical issues, or even bugs. 

My problem was with the unpopulated world and very stagnant feeling - like it was half done.  Which it was.

If I went exploring, which I like to do, I'd find really neat looking architecture and caves and whatnot... but there was nothing in them.  Only the main dungeon areas were even populated. 

Also, as a Psionicist my spell effects were laughable.  The first few months I played, using illusions just popped you into another body with no particle effects at all.  The "Astral Form" ability was just the "invisible" skin on your body - so if you used that stance, you couldn't see yourself at all. 

While I have thought about coming back, because the game is the only MMORPG out right now that I'd play, they'd need to fix those two things for me - populate the world and make some damn spell effects.  The spell effects are EQ1 quality. 

On a lighter note, I have finally been hearing some good things about the game, and some positive posts.  So maybe it is heading in the right direction.

Thats connection issues though, as in not mormal. With mine though i have no conection issues so why would i look there friend? What i am saying is that you are comparing players that are having issues with the normal patcher friend. Thats why they are patching on the conection issues threads :)

This post is nothing more then a fabrication of lies created to discredit the game obviously created by yet another of the VanHaters on these forums. 

The initial install of the game (IF you buy it as a download instead of doing the smart thing which is going to the store and buying it like everybody else in the world) will take you over night to complete.  Nothing out of the norm there considering this is a huge MMORPG.

The update there after shouldn't take you more then a couple hours at worst.

I truely wish that mmorpg.com would ban people that make out right lies like the original poster here.  They do nothing to help the community and they only serve to casue angst.

The download was 1 hour 36 min for me.  hardly overnight.

Well that's my point actually.  The worst case scenario should be an overnight download of the initial install.

The original poster's estimates of time to download and patch was extremely rediculous.
