s'funny but the same thing happened with me.

The SOE patcher is very good for the most part, much better than WoWs. Just sounds like you have a lot of content to download.

The only chances to save Vanguard is to fix the fucking performances issues which keep "core" players away (It s not the game itself).

For the most part, I have to agree with this. Putting XP back on my machine helped a lot but as soon as things get busy. *pop* I'm back to 10FPS. Why would I play Vanguard when I can run EQ2 on close to full settings if they then make Vanguard like EQ2? There is no logic in that.

Although I do think this probably the new MMORPG crowed have with getting to the high levels is just plain stupid and missing most of the point of A MMORPG.

Ok, so I am getting a new computer soon, and one of the MMOs that I will be looking at is Vanguard, but before I make investments into the game I would like to ask a few questions. 

1.  How bad is the bug problem?  Will I still be able to play even though I have a great computer system?

i dont think i even want to try this any more

now what's with the game companys these days there all signing up with soe

Have you read whats on the Flying Labs site? Seriously, why cry over the fact that FL got excactly what they were looking for in a publisher ......

 

Look at Vanguard's first announcement below.  It looks the same.  The future of PoTBS will be the same as Vanguard.  It is sad that PC gaming is having so many failures.  We will all be playing on the XBox and PS3 only soon.

Isildur it was a mistake to link up with SOE vs some other option, no matter how sweet the deal was.

I think you will find the anti SOE crowd are a significant number and growing for good reason. SOE has screwed a lot of players not just in SWG. They repeatedly show a lack of respect for their playerbase in numerous games. Because of what happened with Vanguard, the promises of no direct control by SOE which proved to be false,

I was never much of a SOE fan, they screwed up with SWG and yet I got so sick of all this SOE hate I decided to try EQ2 and it's wonderful. I'm now so sick of all this (BADLY informed to the point of lying to prove points) SOE hate that I will now go out of my way to support both Pirates AND Gods just because I will be able to add them to my SOE account. I had very little interest in both of these titles until this thread.

all this shows is a huge lack of caring or consideration for followers of your game and product. I for one  boycott this game and any further made by you sellouts.=SOE

Wow.  I don't think I've ever wanted to say this to a potential fan/customer on a public message board before, but now I do:

Buh-bye. I'd like to say I'll miss having you try my game, but... after that post, I won't.  I'm glad you won't be playing.

You have basically terminated any chance for 75% of mmorpg player base to try your game.

I think you vastly overestimate the anti-SOE crowd. Just because a lot of people on MMORPG.com and similar sites are like this.... they only represent a fraction of the MMO community.

Don't waste your time with them mate, they don't listen. The SOE haters really do think that everyone else thinks like them, the fact of the matter is the moaners are always the loudest on forums and the people that just want to play games and enjoy themselves don't bother for the most part. The FACT of the matter is that it's costing more and more money to get a game out there these days and SOE are going to help them do that, the FACT of the matter is that without SOE Vanguard really would be dead!

What ever makes you sleep better at night. Once the game is released, we will see who laughs last

Thanks for all the replies guys, it's great to know I'm not gimping myself if I choose to play how I want to. :)

anyone using 64-bit vista on this one?

I honestly think only one game is looking like it will move anything forward, just off the top of my head and that's Heroes Journey.

...don't get me wrong, I'm just making a view not stating fact but I feel like I can't be a two axe carrying 'zerker because I'm told by other players that I have to be one handed and shield. I can't be staff Bruiser because I'm told that I'm gimped unless I go unarmed in the beginning. I could just be being badly informed of course, or just getting it wrong myself but this is how I feel with EQ2 sometimes and why I don't feel I can stick with a class much past level 10.

I loved the early EQ2 style of advance. I remember rolling new characters, both warrior and scout and kinda working my way though wondering what I'd go for as I moved along.

Balanced, high or low isnt the answer. It took me quite a while to find "my" optimum settings. Example: Shadow drops a true silhouette at 21%. No need to turn it higher ever.
