What do you think will help vanguard the most : Vanguard Discussion

Just curious since it seems like VG needs some new loving so im just curious what people think.

My biggest pet peeve with the game is running it on lower end comps. I think if they fixed the games frames then it would actually save VG.

What do you think?

Ditch the graphics engine that they are using , UT 2.5 i believe.

Well i dont think they can really do that. The problem is the game was coded poorly for how it runs on computers. Look at aion for example. That game looks far better and yet it runs better on computers versus how vanguard runs.

I don't really have much of a problem with performance nowadays. Switching my 'main' rig to Windows 7 cured all that.

I personally believe that the biggest drawbacks are the default UI (most trial players won't care enough to source out a third party UI, or to spend time setting the default up), and the lack of content. Despite being set in a huge world, it's very repetitive. Things like the shiny collections in EQ2 would add so much more for solo players and non-raiders.

Within the first year, I had a lvl 50 in every class, and found APW to be too scripted to be fun. I never liked the PvP either, so I rerolled on a PvE server. I still return to Telon occasionally for short periods when things get changed, like the druid revamp, galleons, and currently level cap increase, but the game is now pretty dead to me sadly.

I would agree that when VG first came out, the fact that it didnt run on anything but high end computers did hurt it. But 2 years later, it should run decently on anything other than bottom end computers. The game really is a very good game, short of high end content. The very small dev team doesnt help matters either.

Yea but the problem is rommel is they dont have any extra funds to try and advertise this game as a EQ2 killer. That is why vg is hurting now. They where rushed to release and the developer is pissy now that they didnt make much off the game.

Vg needs actualy devs that make games that dont suck. Better new content then that half assed excuse for an expansion magi, and separate combat systems for pvp and pve servers. not to mention a complete quest log overhaul and debugging. for starters. then it needs REAL gms that actually attempt to resolve issues so the whiners dont quit cause they make up the most of our mmo population. i could go on. but this game died a long time ago so why bother. only good for hacking now. someone send me a link for vg buddy or some other program plz. something free im not paying to hack a ded game. thx. lets fuk !@#$%^&* up

The Free To Play Should Help it out a Little!!!

Yea we are making a majority of the vg section free in the next few weeks.

Some help for beergeek with his VG-crafterbot should help a lot for the popularity of this site for VG. As long as the bot was working, it was the best crafterbot for grinding VG-workorders in the world. At the moment vgextreme 2.1 is always crashing after start at Win 7 64bit.

Yea we asked him what he needed. Have you tried running it in 32 bit mode from right clicking on the app?

Yeah, tried all compatibility settings there exist, but always crashing instant.

K i just wanted to make sure it wasnt compatibility. Ill send beergeek another pm so we can help him.
