it is shameful, but I like the Gnome design overall.

This link has the timestamp where you can see a Gnome Wizard and they look pretty neat!

Apparently Bards were great in Vanguard.

Vanguard Bard has been the best designed Bard in any MMO so far.

All this Vanguard talk makes me sad. The game itself was really, really good. The bad parts were all management related. I have this dream I grasp in futility where Daybreak Games sells the Vanguard IP and someone else refines the game and rereleases it.

Next Goon project?

:eyepop: between that and the goons who paid $750 for Shroud of the Avatar I am beginning to think people in this subforum have a problem with videogames. Seriously, though, I agonize over buying a $60 game like once a year and consider it a ripoff if I don't get at least $1/hour of value out of it, which seems very unlikely to happen with a bad mmo

MMORPGs appeal to a specific mindset and sadly that mindset also includes those with mental illnesses. Not saying the Venn Diagram would be just a circle, just that there would be quite a bit of overlap.

Gates of Discord and Omens of War were one expansion they had to split up and you couldn't finish the first without poo poo from the second if I remember right.

Kinda, Gates was designed with there being a level cap increase, but the cap wasn't increased till Omens. So poo poo was way overtuned.

Twisting was such a bizarre mechanic but it was good in that you could easily separate good from bad bards based on how many songs they kept up.
At least, until /harmony became a thing
Anyways, bard was a ton of fun. Selo's song of travel for life

Nothing like moving so fast that the zone servers had a hard time keeping up with you and not spawn things until after you passed them. Though that might have been my crappy pc at the time.

Which of course isn't even close to being done.

What's the scale here? Because that seems like a small rear end place for a starting zone.

Frog Act posted:

I definitely did play Vanguard and only stopped because there just wasn't enough of a playerbase to sustain a lively world within a year of launch, and when I played at launch, it was overcrowded and suffered from typical issues. There was a brief period where it was a really good and functional leveling experience, at least, though I never got to the supposedly completely unfinished endgame.

I'll never forget how it managed to evoke a sense of wonder, exploration, and scale even in a time where that was already mostly absent from MMOs, and of course it's fantastic song system for Bards, among other unique class mechanics.

No MMO has come close to recreating a blood mage and all the games are worse off for it.

Memories of my Human Necromancer of Bertoxxulous (or was it Innoruuk?) being KoS to one single random NPC in my home city but "dubious" or "apprehensive" to everyone else except for my fellow evil-god-worshipping-NPCs


EDIT: I also remember I bought the Ruins of Kunark strategy guide and it said that no one was KoS to Halflings. Took a Troll to Rivervale once and discovered this is a complete lie.

It was Innoruuk most likely. Got one shot by a dwarf the other day running around on my lowbie Necro.
