I am on Halgar, too and lvl 17. But it would not make much sense for me to join as an EU-player, if you have very different timezones.
 

I think the timezone has just been added incase US players would like to join,we are mostly european but if I remember right mike is from the US but plays at the sametime as the rest of us(though I could be mistaken)you can send a tell to any member to ask for information in game also.

LOL lobo I was wondering who would be the 1st to post about it :P

Once the free trial is implemented, this game should become more crowded than ever.

Good thing too, because without a guild this game can be a very lonely place.

Your right there mike,thankfully we seem to be in a mmorpg.com guild,still feels strange knowing you guys from the forums and then all accidently meeting on VG :)

The 7950 is better than the 8600.

 

Other than the fact that dx10 how ever you want to look at it is the future and also the 7950 isnt better than the 8600 card preformance wise they are about on par but again the 8600 offers dx10,also like I said these days save your cash a bit longer and get a 8800 series card or even above.

Could someone give me a link to a good 8600 NVIDIA on newegg, the cheapest possible.  thx

Not really adding to your question here m8 but how about you just struggle by for a bit and save for a 8800 card or above,I know how it is when you want to buy something that helps you play but honestly just go that bit longer and save somemore and get a card that will do you for alot longer so you arent in the same boat 4-5 months from now.

It might,It would depend how well it was written and also how clear it was,we have a forum to help ppl when they have questions about computers and it seems to work quite well,as in someone doesnt know about psu's they will post and get a direct answer,that does work well but if you could make a very well written and detailed post it would ofc be of use.

Your video card will hold you back,you really need a 8800 or above to enjoy the graphics to the full or a 8600 to run it smoothly but tbh they are messing around so much with the patche's no-one can really say how it will end up with your card but I would imagine on the lower side.

Heh, my wife tells me that if you are going to be around here, you need to weigh in on a major isue here, see which "side of the fence" you fall on.  So... which is better, pie or brownies?

Cake for the win and I wont hear other wise....

As for the best solo class it really depends how hard you want to work,I mean a bear shammy solo's very well but it does take some skill and not just pressing the same 3 or 4 keys,so I guess the question is how easy do you want the game to be?

Welcome to the forums.  Thanks for the introduction.  Rather unorthodox.  Guess that means you are the friendly sort.  Not sure this is the right place for you, as most of us are pretty mean spirited bastards!  At any rate, welcome to the forums.  Always good to have fresh meat!

 

MMo player's mean?MMo forum posters mean?

Hell man we are like a great big bunch of telly tubbies

Welcome to the forum m8 I hope you enjoy it here.

Ok I am going to update this thread as I find the game rather than start new threads all the time.

I started back Today and had a real good session(the mrs was away all day)

I played maybe 10 hours today in total and I must admit I was having a blast,The quests as always are well written and great fun and ofc the graphics are great(they always where),ok so how is the the games preformance?well I have to say it is a hell of alot better than it was,ok yes I have upgraded my system but I never really thought that was the problem,it was more code problem and it is alot better,before I was getting maybe 40 fps in the wild and struggling to get an even 10-20 in cities,now I have around 70fps in the wild very steady and around 30-35 in cities(it maybe dips to 25 when I 1st enter).

The whole game feels so much better and this was with me struggling to get used to my lvl 18 shammy after so long away.Is the game perfect? nope not at all,there are still some bugs and other issue's but atm nothing that has me hitting my head against the keyboard.

All in all this is the best pve game I have played in a long long time,I aint no fanboi trust me I had alot of hate for this game for over a year but credit where credit is due and VG is due some now.

I will update this thread as the days go on until either I hit a brick wall in the game or you get the point.

BTW,anyone going back to the game or just didnt know remember to type /claim and get some nice items including a 36 slot bag with added 5% movement speed :).

sin.

I have to ask ...are you guys really mmorpg player's? or just the ppl that will sit for 1 hour on end on the like's of CS doing sniper duty to get 1 kill and think you are soooo great?

I cant imagine what the thrill is to be say level 50 and go into a level 20 zone and 1 shot ppl,I mean what do you guys get from that?do you honestly say"man I rock I 1 shoted that noob"?

Sad ppl,sad sad sad....

Hey m8,

I should arrive on halgar again in about 2 hours(patching ftl)

It is nice to see some ppl agree and are happy now in VG .

Hope to see you soon m8.

Yep it seem's we are in the same boat,I have been thinking of returning for sometime now but always held back until I seen someone on this site offer his guild for new member's,Yep I know that may sound strange to some ppl but this game really needs to be played in a guild added to this so many ppl saying it is now playable was enough for me.

The good thing for me is a MMo is a sociable thing and without guilds etc it just wont work and before there were no guilds asking for members add to that the preformance issue's then you have a big problem,maybe VG can start to show its true colour's with guild's forming and if the game is really alot more playable we could be onto a winner,In my eye's it has always been a sleeping giant.

I made a post just below yours that I am trying it again,What I can say is VG did have the idea to be the best mmo but it fell quite a bit short on release and even somewhat after that.

I am patching now to give it 1 last chance,I will write up what I think in a few day's,the thing with VG is it had so much going for it in terms of quests,crafting,world(it is huge),classes(yep there are that many) and just general things you wouldnt expect from other mmo's....but the preformance wasnt good at all,also it can get lonely in the game...really lonely,also there were quite a few bugs.

Though I am loading it up and willing to give it another go after 1 and half years as it had so much going for it(ok some real and some promise)but in this day and age when mmo's are crippled this game is is worth the try.

Pappy I have followed alot of your posts over maybe the last 6 months and tbh I wouldn't call you a fanboi at all,I see you as someone who has found a game you really enjoy or used to enjoy and thats it,I dont see you throwing the game down ppl's throat's or argueing about the game as a whole.

I also enjoyed wow for maybe 2 years but moved on,Yes I found it a bit light wieght in terms of mmo gamming,as in easy questing and crafting but I still enjoyed my ride there and if ppl still enjoy it then fair play to them,You will maybe find ppl that attack wow player's are jealous for the simple fact they dont have a game to play atm.

Hey Torak,I am returning player trying the game 1 last time,the reason's I quite before are ofc the preformance but also the fact there wasnt alot of ppl around and finding a guild was near impossible,I am patching the game as I type this and would love to tag along in your guild and pray that this game can be what I thought it could be a year and half ago.

Can I ask do you use the same name in game?

I think I will use a new guy to start with as it has been so long,just to get used to it again and ofc unsure if the name I choose will be available.

Cheers m8 hope to hear from you soon.

I have alway's loved the idea of Vanguard even when it released so badly I still bought it and tried to love it,but couldnt,After maybe 10 month's there was alot of post's saying "VG is fixed" etc so I tried again in January,alas it still wasnt what I hoped it would be,These 2 time's I tried was on my old system but even then I still expected better than 10 fps in cities,I used to have amd 3200+,2gb ram with a 7600gt card.

Also I think alot would back me up was the population,it got real real quiet out there...

Anyway I have alway's followed the forum's with VG hoping for the best and there again seem's to be quite a few player's now happy in VG and with the recent dissapointment of AoC I decided now was the time to fire VG up on my new system,I now run a duo core 2.66 4gb ram with 8800gt 512 mb card.

Ok so there should be any problem with my system and even the population I could forgive(if I can find an active guild that is:)

The thing is with Vanguard it really has the promise in a MMo I always wanted,I could honestly list so many things great about VG like the world,crafting etc but I just hope the fps hold steady and there is enough of a community to hold me,The other great thing like I told a mate of mine was "if you cant find a class in VG you like then mmo playing isnt for you"

Like I said this will be the last chance I give the game,I really think 1 and half years is enough for any game to pull it together,I just hope it has worked and I aint patching now to be yet majorly let down.

I like how the op stated people that hate the game should stop whinning about the game because they dont own a copy,but the people who post they love the game it is fine for them to come on open forum's and say it is great?If we follow this logic then every forum would just be a fanboi base.

I played the game and didnt enjoy it and have posted my reason's why,the reason for forum's such as MMORPG.com is for player's can hear both side's of the arguement and make up there own mind.

If it is all the same to you I will keep my freedom of speach and not be part of a silient majority.
