I just wanted to mention a couple of differences I’ve noticed with groups in Vanguard compared to Everquest II. In EQ2 tanks would usually pull the mob, either with their taunts or body pulling. The rest of the group would then give the tank a few moments to build up agro before they’d start nuking […]
I haven’t had much opportunity to play or blog over the Easter weekend. Not because I was fortunate enough to go away but rather I’ve worked every day of it. So no Vanguard or any other MMO over the weekend. But one thing I have tried is the Trading Card Game (TCG) Magic - […]
As I mentioned in a previous post I’d decided to start my Unicorn Quest. It’s a long quest line with 8 stages, all comprising anywhere from 4 to 8 quests per stage. I have nearly completed stage 3 and I don’t know if I can go on. I was holding off on buying a […]

Recently, Vanguard’s Game Update #4 went live and with it a number of changes have been implemented. These changes have been eagerly awaited by Vanguard’s gaming community and a lot of these changes are great (flying mounts). But one change leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
When I first started playing Vanguard I […]
I was reading an interview on Ten Ton Hammer with Evan Michaels, game designer for Funcom, regarding the Priest of Mitra, one of AoC’s healing classes. You can read the full interview here if you like but I just wanted to talk about a couple of things in particular from that interview.
