Originally posted by Razeekster Yeah, I already set everything to the highest settings in-game so my machine can handle it. Also, did you perhaps mean CacheSizeMegs=32 and to change that to 256? I'm not seeing a SystemCache=32M. Yeah that's …

The setfog command in game does what it sounds like, it will set the fog distance to specific distances and color hues. If you were to just type /setfog 99999999 it sets the max distance way far away so you can see forever. It looks a bit unnatural …

Originally posted by Irishbeard Originally posted by Binny45 I also disagree with the OP. Vanguard is a beautiful game that was way, WAY ahead of it's time and released far too early. It's open scope,it's beautiful scenery, it's crafting and d…

VG does have most of those immersion things you are mentioning, especially in terms of the sound effects. I guess it might not have quite as many random birds and such flying around, but it definitely has some, and other wildlife, and definitely sou…

I've been playing VG since it launched. I too always feel sad when I see people posting on here about what they want and knowing VG has just about all of it, but they probably have never and won't ever try it. All because of the bad launch horror st…

To be fair, you picked just about the worst example of a long fight in VG. There are plenty that take longer. That said, no, the fights aren't several minutes long unless you're raiding or kiting something above your level. There are a few that take…

Reading through this thread has made me even more sad for Vanguard. With a respectable launch and subsequent handling most of you would probably have been playing it for the past 6 years. Of course I don't know how many of you have actually tried it…

Originally posted by Sacria Tanking is in most mmos the most forgiving role. People will disagree with this but it's the truth: Can ignore a majority of game mechanics. Doesn't have to worry about acing their rotation because threat is a non fac…

You should check out Vanguard. It's a lot more like EQ than WoW, and it's a lot more about the journey than the destination.

Actually, if old school isn't a problem, try out Vanguard. It has some of the best healer classes, including disciple and bloodmage, both very different healers with pretty unique mechanics that heal by being active and attacking. Even the VG Cleric…

While I'll admit the animations and character models are not the best for sure, if you can manage to get past those, Vanguard really does have a lot to offer someone who is looking for what you describe. The entire world is open and free to explore …

From what I can tell, you losing track of time would have the most to do with the immersion factor you feel about the game; getting lost in what you're doing in game. It also sounds like you want to sort of stay away from the instant gratification g…

Originally posted by 5Luck Originally posted by Maurgrim Vanguard have a robust crafting minigame onpar with SWG you should check it out. IMO Vanguard is the game that ruined crafting. It was one of the 1st(that i played) that offered class "s…

Vanguard has pretty much everything you're looking for, if you don't mind an older game with a smaller (but very friendly and helpful) community. The only thing it sort of lacks from the list is extensive talent trees I suppose, but you do have cont…

If you do jump into VG, feel free to look me up. My main character has the same name.

As a game that's not in your list but very similar, Vanguard has a pretty decent f2p setup with a good sub option behind it. There are only a couple minor restrictions to f2p, and the sub comes with some nice little perks.

Isn't the Minstrel more of a healer than the "traditional" bard? I have never played lotro, but I seem to remember that. Not that it's bad, of course, but someone looking for a traditional bard, even full utility, might not want to really fill the p…

I don't claim to know all the games, but apart from the already mentioned monk in FFXIV, you'd have to go back a ways to find a good monk class. I can't really remember any in recent games. There are the monks in EQ and EQ2, and in Vanguard. IIR…

From what you've listed, as far as MMOs go, I'd say your options are really EQ2, Vanguard, and maybe Lotro. Everything else is just pretty far from the baseline you've set. I'm a VG player, so of course I'd love if you came back and joined us th…
