  • Played evoker and summoner to 16+ I found evoker to be far stronger at all levels.  The pets are cool.. but that evoker damage just makes everything a breeze from level 1 on.
  • There's no question that Tabula Rasa is more prepared to launch than Hellgate.  The Hellgate client is horribly unstable, involving some very nasty crashes to desktop and complete system crash bugs ( which I haven't personally experienced, but frien…
  • Originally posted by Linna For all intents and purposes, this IS the last patch before live, in the sense that it is the last patch testers can actually test. If they stick to their schedule, we testers will be kicked out in less than 2 weeks, aft…
  • Originally posted by Linna After yesterday's patch, the game has pretty much become unplayable for most classes. Hint to the developers: major generic balance changes this close to release = BAD idea. Should have been dealth with in closed beta. …
  • The problem is that when a mob spawns nobody is fighting it, so you have no idea how many people will actually be trying to kill it.  For instance 1 guy is fighting in an area, 100 people are nearby having a guild meeting or holding one of those MMO…
  • Damage is weird.  I was taking level 48s as a 25, they'd hit me for like 50 damage.  And then all of a sudden one of them would remember that they had 23 levels on me and hit me for like 15K.  
  • Vanguard's combat is bland, boring and easy.  Diplomacy is just pointless.  Crafting had the most depth of the game, and was probably the best since SWG.. but don't make the mistake of saying you couldn't just spam buttons and succeed.   Because you…
  • The community is good, one of the best.  The game isn't real deep though, and gets old fairly quick.
  • 1) Quests for the sake of having quests.  MMO quests are horrible. borring.. repetitive..  If you can't come up with interesting quests.. don't bother putting any in the game.  I don't want to go pick apples so granny can make a pie.  I don't want t…
  • Originally posted by maskedweasel Originally posted by lancebird This certainly is an MMO and it has as much "role playing" as any other MMO.  Seriously.. just because you can't be an elf doesn't mean you can't roleplay if you want too.. It doe…
  • Originally posted by Draxonfly I Don't think it is to easy.. if they made it harder it would slow the game down to much and take some of the fun ayway... Running and gunning down fast is some of the best fun in the game... make harder and it wil…
  • Translation: "We wanted to compete with WoW as little as possible."
  • This certainly is an MMO and it has as much "role playing" as any other MMO.  Seriously.. just because you can't be an elf doesn't mean you can't roleplay if you want too.. It does have other serious problems though... like lack of challenge. I'…
  • If it's intentional it ruins any balance testing in beta, which means that after the game goes live you can expect pretty liberal swinging of the nerf bat.  I'm really not sure what they're thinking, if you listen to some of the comments made by som…
  • It's shallow because there is only one thing you can do.. run around shooting bane. Crafting isn't working now, and when it is it'll be fairly weak and pointless. PVP options are ridiculously limited. Character development is weak both in appe…
  • Having played both betas I'd have to say no.  Tabula Rasa is lacking content and depth, but for the most part plays smoothly.  Vanguard was lacking content and had horrible gameplay.
  • I wouldn't say groups are rare.. but they're certainly not necessary and get increasingly harder to get as you level up.  The problem is EVERYTHING in the game is just so easy.  When everybody is 1 or 2 shotting everything, what's the point of havin…
  • You can probably start soloing the instances in wilderness about level 8ish.  They're really not that hard.
  • This is a poorly thought out review filled with numerous factual inaccuracies, poorly thought out arguments and for some reason doesn't take into account that the game is still in beta.    And just for the record.. the cloning system is amazing.…
  • Let's see.. reducing the number of servers and trying to get what players are left to move to EQ2.  Sounds like SOE is trying to put Vanguard out of its misery.. which would seem to be the right direction.
