All will become clear in the next patch

Seriously.. what you're playing in right now was very much 'in-progress' when it got pushed live. The fully functional stuff is going in the next patch.

But don't consider it 'finished'. We still have a lot more we'd like to do here when we have some time. Things like adding more flavor/lore type quests, more events, etc. Plus there's that whole Gorgaluk Dungeon thing too

and when is this next patch? its been like 2 weeks since anything hit live =( a couple of things that i think would be good to let the management know.

A- Having to look on other servers for info about Vanguard is good but not having a uniform place to keep us informed we can feel that your not doing anything so i would like to request a sigil fourm somewhere hosted by you guys with info on upcomming patches, the thing u have going really lacks atm and needs improvement. Upcomming stuff does not cut it, we want to know even a questimate when stuff is gonna be out.

B- Even though we do appreciate that you are all working hard on stuff, alot of us feel that we are paying to beta test, heck that is fine to a point. I know i roll with a group of 4 people daily and spend about 4-5 hours a night online, lately since we hit 45, we starting to get the feeling that this game is in more serrious trouble then when we did when it was launched early. You have a decent amount of people 45+ without stuff to do, by the time the stuff is put into the game, its gonna be like a year old before its at a "decent" level of content and stuff fixed. I know its not easy what yas do but focusing on stuff and letting us know is more important to us then not word when next patch is hopeing to be put out, or what kinda stuff is gonna be in it. I mean let me quote the box..

"Build and command your own ships, navigating treacherous tides and dangerous storms"

What tides and storms is this refering to?

"Explore a seamless and immerisive world free of zoning and instances"
Why is there chunks? I zone into other chunks to lose mobs on agro, why dont they follow me if its not free of zoning? LOL

I at times think Vanguard is just blowing smoke up our... well you know what i mean, If i buy a car, i expect there to be tires and an engine in it. With Vanguard we got the Car and the tires but no engine.. Drop any ideas for an expansion, get those people on content of current existing stuff, then put em back on it when the game is completed..\

Sorry to get off foucus here, just very passionate about this game, I want it to work out, I love the art, i love the world, I dont love paying to play somthing that is not finished, i can deal with bugs, i can deal with low server numbers, i can deal with grinding faction if i must, but i cant deal with not having anything to do... I didnt rush to 45+ i went slow, the double xp weekend, the 3 days before game ships, the xp increase, heck i even lost a lvl i was never reinbursed, i am playing the game at the speed u set for people who play. We have passed you guys by in regards to content. If you want to keep that customer base get rolling out some stuff finished or not.

How can this be going live next patch without being on the test server first? What about there rumors of mergeing servers? KEEP US INFORMED, ON YOUR WEBSITES!!!!!!

It's on the test servers as of today. And there is an affiliate site dedicated to informing of test server patches and what not, and they do post on it regularly.

There are a few things you can do at this point. Complaining to a Dev that I'm sure knows the state of the game he is working on is far from constructive. Either find one of the many things to do at your level or make a more constructive post.

Do you really think the Dev's don't know more than you about the game and the state of thier customers enjoyment or lack there of?

I'm not trying to be an ass but this is a post regarding a question about a certian questline. Which a Dev that is responsible for posted in to help us understand the way things are and they way they are going to be in this area and along this questline.

I look in here to see you complaining about nothing that has not been said a dozen times by a dozen other complainers.

You have the right to piss and moan all you want but can you follow some of the common courtesy rules we all know and keep that crap in the rants and flames forum where it belongs?

Not everyone in the Quests forum wants to read about your issues and brilliant Ideas (that no one else has though of)

[Dupre]

When I hit the mid 40s and realized there was not a lot of content implemented yet I switched from adventuring to crafting. I am glad I did because the crafting sphere is a very well thought out and rich experience in itself. I still consider myself to be primarily an adventurer but I am not the type to grind XP mindlessly. Vanguard has three distinct and engaging spheres to sink time into. If you run out of content in on simply explore another for a while. Give it time and you’ll see the 45 – 50 content come on-line and I think you’ll be glad you didn’t out-level it grinding your way to 50.

[PlacentaBurrito]

But if we didnt grind it out to 50 we wouldnt already have max faction with gorgalok and floridel from killing bugged mobs! I feel kind of dirty =( but pls dont reset my faction lol.

Resetting the faction was talked about a few weeks ago, but we decided against it - so you can rest easy =)

Elidroth, I'm not sure If you meant todays patch or not. I saw a few references to the area but nothing regarding the outpost of Elani or any additional quests in the area.

So did the fully functional stuff make it in this patch or is slated for the next one?

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

[Reflection]

There are quests at the Elani outpost now, including quests pointing you to ambassadors for all 3 factions.

However, the ambassador for the Flordiel does not seem to be fully implemented - while the other ambassadors give a continuing quest he says nothing. We could not find anything in the Flordiel city itself either. This leaves us in a bit of a dilemma, as we could do the Ichtakhta quests, but they want us to kill the Flordiel - and we have gathered quite a bit of the Flordiel armor while killing the frogloks =/

[Elidroth_SGO]

FROGLOKS?!?!!

[Reflection]

Yea, I could swear I heard one say, "Frrooaak!"

Elidroth_SGO Is the Faction Emissary Broken or not...Or do we need to grind out 9000 Faction?

Are all the drops in game now? We don't want to start on this stuff until it's all there. Patch notes were not really clear.

[Garn]

My m ain problem is I have yet to locate the Elani outpost. Unless it is that outpost just down the big hillside mountain with all the elven theme's to it. But When i entered that place from every side available it never game me a message stating what it was.. pre-patch of course


I too want to focus on killing the Floridiel myself. I want to do the offensive and defensive ones.

[Rishara]

Well, I really want to know if the upgrade quests are in and the ability to finish the base set is in yet... Any word from the dev?

[Elidroth_SGO]

No NPC will talk to you if your faction with them is lower than -8500 (well.. -8499 technically).

Which emissary isn't speaking to you?

[arkand]

I have + 7500 faction or neg 2500 dynamic floridiel faction and they will talk to me but tell me to leave that im not a friend and there are no quest in any of the areas there.

The Flordiel emissary has no quests to offer beyond completing the introduction from the Elari outpost. At 4.4k dynamic faction (-5600 or so full) with the Flordiel, we had the same experience as Arkand - there are no quests in the city that we can find.

what's the faction requirement to be non-kos?
