Vanguard: Horses? Not around here buster.
Mark and I made two and a half levels questing Friday night, and another Saturday morning. It was fun. We agree, they had some great ideas making Vanguard. It’s just sad it’s half done. There are strange little graphic anomalies that are so 1997ish, I actually fell through the world today. If a door closes behind you, your 3D camera view moves inside your head and you can see the back of your eyeballs. There can be bad lag in the middle of fights. That’s trouble if it’s a toughie and there are heals needed.
The Brotherhood thing is one of the great ideas. We are level 13. So far, we’ve made three levels soloing. It’s coolness can’t be overstated for a small group like ours. It means you can play your main always, you won’t out-level your friends.
I’ve been crafting, doing work orders. The only things I’ve made, for real, are bags. I don’t quite understand all the intricacies of crafting. Where do I put my crafting points? I need to do research to see what others have written about it. I was hoping to make myself some clothing, not yet.
I looked for two days to find the horse seller. It turns out he was on a different island. If it weren’t for the Internet, I’d still be looking, and I’d be pissed.
