Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Ok, everytime I see this mentioned, I get fanboys screaming like schoolgirls that it will be awesome, it will be great, and it will rock. lol But why? Whats in it that its going to be so freaking cool it will rock your grandma's socks? xD

Well theres:

model updates

more customization

trial island (and a new place to start for existing users)

new raids

performance fixes + bug fixes

which all sound rather exciting to me.

Here's another thread on the topic:

The Trial Island is going to be a HUGE thing.  People have been screaming for a trial since the game came out.  Now with the trial finally on its way we will also are treated with new character models and character animations coming in the future.

It's lining up to be a mega-update.  Probably would be considered an expansion you'd have to pay for in most games.  Take a listen to some of the developer interviews... very exciting stuff.  It seems Sony has finally gotten nover the biggest hurdles in fixing what was broke and are now able to put more time into some really exciting things.

Actually they seem pretty far from correcting the majority of bugs I've seen since beta. I can't believe how many issues are still present after all this time. (I went in to this in more detail in another post so I'm not going to repeat it all).

Someone mentioned to me in-game that two patches ago was supposed to fix most of the problems, but then the latest patch brought all the bugs back again. So I'm a little doubtful GU6 will be up to the hype personally and just hope SOE can pull VG together soon. It has a great foundation to be an impressive MMO, but the detail beyond that is just a mess and I fail to see much progress yet. If anyone can do it though, I'm sure SOE can with the way they really turned EQ2 around for the better since release.

It's also amazing to me how much of the community just wants anyone that has an issue or complaint to leave the game or shut up. I've never been vocal about my issues in-game, but the few that are get seriously attacked rather then assisted. If you Vanguard fans want a decent community and have your game grow through subscriber base and support for SOE, that is no way to do it. I've never seen such a rude fanboi-like community as the one in this game, and I thought I saw the worst from barrens chat in WoW or the many trollers on these boards.

    I think i read that they are adding more new Mounts ..all the Looney Toon characters will be avavilable thru quests ......The Looney Toon mounts will add a vast selection of new mounts to are selection of Neopets .. So if you ever wanted to mount bugs bunny or daffy duck .. The oppurtunity will soon be yours ...

I cant believe that you think that a majority of the bugs that where around in Beta are still there.  My God, people are coming on these forums and just about everyone one of them gives there impressions of the game good or bad, but every one of them states that the game was unplayable for them when the game was released and that now the game is very stable.
 

I read your other thread.  You did not like some of the rendering and the quests are shallow.  Do you still crash to desktop?  run oout of memory?   Are there game stopping bugs? I would say that since the game was released the devlopers have probably spent 2/3 of their time fixing that "foundation" that you admit you like.
