I never go by concept art.

Well that concept art is the way some models look like on live basically with the Players studio's armor. For people that dont know you can buy "skins" for your toons armors on live. Most of it looks large and disproportionate like the concept art for EQNext

SO...Is the housing going to be permanent or could the wolf blow it down?

[Dragonmist]

I was hoping particle effects could be turned off and yea more in depth things could have been shown.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and I would love it if the managed to create something that has meaningful gameplay beyond running around as a demi god till you get bored. But they sure don't make it easy.

It would be nice if a MMO developer would, for once just come out and clearly define what it is that they are going to do and why with their core mechanics. Instead every time something new comes out it's like they feel the need to put one over on everyone either by being as obscure or misleading as possible to get more sales. They know that these games don't do well but they apparently don't know why.

WTB a niche game that knows what it wants to accomplish and how to do so.

Looks like ass. Why would I want to play PixelQuest:ThePreteenCartoonJunkieEdition? Oh, that's right, I don't. Seriously, even if I could somehow get past the bullshit shoulderpads bullshit... multiclassing??? really???

It's like they said, "Hey guys. I've been thinking. The only things Vanguard didn't fuck up to a fare-thee-well were costuming and class design, let's go for it!"

You hit the nail on the head. If I was 10 years old, well maybe. I am WAY past that age thank you. Just looks like Saturday morning Cartoons. They have totally went for the money. Threw EQ1 people under the bus.

Nilbog is a VERY happy person today. He had a vision, and a very good vision.

You cynics are too late, Smedley's balls are already lodged firmly in my mouth and I'm going to be championing this stupendous creation until it dies, three months after release.

[Weekapaug]

Oh and for the record, I thought what we saw today looked great. Will it be? No way to tell.

For me, the deal sealer or breaker is how the combat dynamic feels. It's why original EQ and DAoC are the only two MMOs I've truly always loved. All other's have failed, although Vanguard isn't too bad with it. EQ2 and WoW both had a soft "fly by wire" feel that I can't deal with.

And until I actually experience that myself, all judgements as to the quality of the game are reserved and I, for one, will keep an open mind about it.

Nothing wrong with being skeptical or having an opinion, but Jesus H. It's day one. Cut them a little slack, considering none of us really still know anything about the game.
