My impressions of Vanguard
Posted: Sun May 14, 2006 8:44 pm
Well it's been a little over a month since I joined the BETA. This game has quickly gotten very old for some reason. I keep asking myself what is so new and different about it that makes it a 3rd generation game. My answer, not much. i know it's only BETA but I have been right everytime about my initial feelings about a game. I have to force myself to log in anymore.
For one, I HATE corpse runs and even with how easy they have right now to get to your corpse, it's a major pain in the ass. I just feel like I am playing EQ1.5 or something like that. The combat, at least for a warrior, seems very dull. Melee combat seems very, very underpowered right now compared to nukers. I am lucky to kill mobs 4-5 levels below me with decent gear while casters can kill mobs 2-3 levels above them. All in all combat gives me the feeling of been-there-done-that.
The crafting system is done very well if you are into that sort of thing. A lot like WoWs but only better IMO. You actually have control of the quality of the item.
SOE's involvement with this game killed it for me I think. I will never give that company another cent of my money.
Guess I will start looking at Warhammer.
I am thinking of starting up WoW again. softcore, just to kill time.
