Cant stand the hype. please check out the game yourselves, and do not compare it to some third world country 3D game. Vanguard is not, im afraid to say, up there among the good MMO's. Its mediocre at best. it was a longshot.
Cheers.

Dictionary says "Bland: 5.lacking in special interest, liveliness, individuality, etc.; insipid; dull: a bland young man; a bland situation comedy."I'd have to agree with Cydones comment.

The only way Vanguard would be mediocre is if your system is like 5 years old. Sorry, but the graphics and gameplay are amazing. Check it out yourself. Nice troll.

The graphics are nice, the gameplay is terrible.
The game itself is just... boring, for lack of a better word. The testers have been saying there is no "hook" to the game for months and there still isn't.

It's impossible to judge any game just on what you've seen in it's beta stages and judge them fairly and accurately. As we all know, beta is where the kinks are ironed out and that's not done over night. You don't see everything the game has to offer from one day to the next. Many things and sites are still locked up and others are being looked at and not running fluently yet but thats what beta is all about.
The majority of the people who are putting down this game have their own agenda but judging it fairly and honestly is not one of them. At least not in beta. Give it time after it's released then you can make a non-biased statement and one that will really stand on its own two feet. Beta is not the place to judge the game, not yet anyway and not accurately.

Because someone does not agree with your opinion does not make them a troll.Personally I have a pretty damn sweet system and the game is dull. There is no life to the game. Everything done here has been done before, and done better. I personally find it funny that McQuaid goes on and on about how they are bringing back the "hardcore" and ramping up the difficulty. How did they do this? The increased the tedium within the game and increased the work. They haven't made NPC's smarter, they havent made the ai mobs think and use strategy against the player. They pour in HPs and energy and say See that's harder and deeper gameplay! The Questgivers are still npc pez dispensers and the quests are the exact same thing we have been doing for 10 years now. There is no innovation and the prettiest part of the graphics are the trees, and those are done by Speed Tree, not by sigil. Oh and lets of course not forget corpse runs... sooo much fun
I know there is no dissuading vanbois such as yourself but your arguments which you try to put forth as gospel are fundamentally flawed and downright misrepresentations of the game. I remember people such as yourself during the Dark N Light hype days saying how awesome everything was but the truth became evident to everyone with any experience in mmo gaming.

The only thing VG has going for it IS the graphics. They are wonderful and play great on my SLI 8800 GTX system. That however doesn't make up for the very same gameplay we had in EQ1 and animations that... lets face it seem to be taken directly from EQ1.
EQ2 had great graphics to when it was released and similar game play and look how well it did. Fortunately for them they have changed the direction of the gameplay and things got better. Perhaps VG will do so before release as well... but the word "bland" does fit the game play very aptly. I mean it's not even interesting watching your own combat less you like watching someone chop down a tree.

Vanguard is pretty cool in my opinion. So are you calling me a vanbois? what the hell did you call me sucka?! Sec, let me google that... O... heh why thankyou.. I'm also a walmartbois and a girlbios..
I have played Vanguard since beta 2 , stuck with it .. I'm not good with speeches, so I'm going to keep this short.. Vanguard will kill more chinese people than WoW did.. (this is not racism just a premonition)
If the game is as incomplete as some are saying here, this game will probably go the way of EQ2 - that being a bad launch, but a year or 2 down the road will be a solid game. EQ2 was horrific when it launched, arguable rushed out the door to beat WoW to the shelves. 2 years later the game is very polished and probably the most solid game on the market, even more solid then WoW. But at this stage, anyone clinging to the "Its only Beta" arguement is living in a state of wild dillusion if you think there is some sweeping changes coming. Previous beta expereinces for every MMO at this beta stage is time tested and proven this to be the case.

Exactly. We've been saying it had no hook since early beta 3, which was when I got in. Now I cant even force myself to log in and test it any longer. I was one wanted to love this game. I kept klinging on partway thru beta 4 before I realized that VG wasnt going to make a comeback. The game has taken one bad turn after another and just keeps heading down the path of boring and shallow gameplay.
By the way my system is fairly decent:
Core 2 Duo E6400
2g DDR2-800
2 x 256mb 7900gt in SLI

The game sucks, end of story. It has -zero- hope long term. I put more hope in LoTR online than in Vanguard after playing both for several months. It will appeal to a very small subset of mmo gamers and for them it will be the holy grail, for the vast majority of people however, they're NOT going to like it or enjoy it over any give long period of play.

Nah i dont agree with that. LoTO:O is locked in to a certain structure and for that it will fail. Why would i wana be foot soldier when i can be the real deal. Thats one of the many reasons EQ was so great, it allowed players to live out there dreams....
Vanguard simply has to many systems, to much content ... if they can just hire someone to clean up those snes animations id be cool.
Its just clear to me you didnt even play the beta. Its very easy to see what is there. They built the first 10 levels very well, it is done in a way that it will help retain new players....
