Sigil Games Online has entered Phase 1 of our Beta Program! And, as promised, our Community Members will have the first opportunity to apply for it!<

<

We will begin sending out emails today to everyone that has registered on our forum through today with an invitation to apply for Beta 1. Follow the instructions in the email and you are on your way!<
>
<
>
Once you have submitted your application, your name will be added to our list of potential Beta participants. Qualified applicants will be selected for the program and added gradually, as we need more and more players throughout the course of Beta.<

<

Please remember that this is an invitation to apply for Beta. If you qualify and are selected at any stage, you will be notified.<

<

So check your email and submit your application! I am sure I will see many of you in Beta soon! We have been looking forward to this for a long time! <

I'm really hoping to get into this one. I won't, but I'm still hoping. <i></i>

I doubt they are going to have an open beta on this except may a stress test before release, so definatly going to be crucial to get into closed beta to have an edge <i></i>

Indeed! Lord Gates wants Vanguard on the market ASAP! <i></i>

If you honestly fucking think bill gates gives a rats ass about this minor of a possible finicial gain in comparison to other aspects of MS then you are smoking some good shit my friend. If anything he is probably just trying to
eak into the market which in the end will be a good finicial gain maybe so he would want to make a good showing with this. They have spent so much time already making sure its right, I really doubt he is going to be overly pushy on it.<
>
<
>
However I still don't think
ad will open it for any period of time outside of final stress tests. They definatly are trying to keep the more serious hardcore gaming mentality on this one so the less the masses can get an advantage to tear through there content the better. <i></i>

Still waiting on my email. I registered on the forums on 10/2004

Not getting my hopes up but its ok getting back into heavy eq raiding and its honestly fun. But ya...if I got in january when I am taking a month between graduating with my masters and starting work I wouldn't complain, I would be sitting by the pool in phoenix playing VG beta all day and partying all night! <i></i>

I think beta 1 is going to be small, and most folks will have better odds on getting into beta 2.<

I just pre-ordered City of Villains, and re-activated my old account. Waiting on beta access to play with until the retail game goes live on 10/31.<

You got an acceptance of beta or invitation of beta? <i></i>

Only thing out right now are invitations to apply for the beta, which are trickling out slowly to registered board members. I've been registered since 10/2004 and got mine yesterday or the day before.

It's a hayabusa 1200 I believe. Either that or a GSRX 1200 which is a Ninja if my facts are straight, got my mind on other things atm. Magelo<i></i>

I'm still debating the comfort of a cruiser, or the hotness of a sport bike. Definately don't want a super sport, since there isn't a track to race on near me.<

If i get one, it would defenitly be a super sport for the looks, even though I would never be able to use the full potential of the bikes speed. I really like the looks of them compared to the regular ones. Magelo<i></i>

Super sport is the best looking, but pretty damn uncomfortable for long rides. You're sprawled over the gas tank. My friends and I plan to do 4 hour rides around the lake, and through the country hitting 15 mph country farmer turns. (it's a 90 degree turn around a farmer field)<

Just sport they pull the bars back a bit. I love the sport look, but a cruiser is definately easier on these old bones.<

In the end they say ride what excites you the most, otherwise it will just sit and collect dust.<

Negative. Still beta one.<

Apparently, this round of emails is for people who signed up for the vanguard forums AFTER october 12th.<

<

So anyone who signed up to the now should have already gotten the application.<

<i></i>

I'm quite bitter that I expected to be testing beta back in October and here I am in December playing BF2 still.<
>
<

<i></i>

Beta 2 started for real. About 4000 people are in beta now. Moving along pretty well from what I hear. I'm not in beta myself yet. There was also the first ebay auction for a Beta account, but it got shut down by Sigil. <i></i>

Its hard for me to find time to play Vanguard even though I have an account =/ other little things take precident before an online game does anymore. <i></i>

Sadly you have to freaking do ALOT of tweaking outside just ingame settings to get the game to run at any real playability level. Obviously they will be optimizing it as they go but at the moment its a big pain in the ass, I spent the last 7 hours basically cleaning up a lot of old shit on my computer and doing some client changes and some more internal stuff to make my machine able to actually handle it but so far so good as far as initial awe factor...its always fun exploring stuff that no one has any idea about.<

Jumped my fps up by 7 by turning off lighting and stuff so its now playable at least joy (edit) <i>Edited by: TurboPowa at: 1/7/06 1:55 pm<

Very interesting...<

My comp runs HL2 at 1280x1024 full settings at like 20-30fps. I shouldnt expect that this is much worse than that? Or at least it will run at 1024x768? <

<i></i>

I am running mid teens atm but that is with lighting turned off and relatively low clip plane. I also had fin spend about 6 hours optimizing my computer settings and game files to run VG as best as possible. Again obviously its beta so things aren't optimized yet and honestly at midteens fps there really is no actual noticeable lag especially since combat isn't super fast.<
>
<
>
That being said at most I have seen 120 of us on the beta server so stress testing down the road will be interesting, my comp will probably blow up <
>
<
>
Not to worried at the moment and honestly I do not care about anything because they included a loot all button that auto equips your gear from your corpse....that is well worth 15 bucks a month to me! <i></i>

I think i've logged in once in the past 2 weeks...I'll find time sooner or later. Magelo<i></i>

What level are you Turbo? <i></i>

Not high level, hes been playing Neverwinter Night with me a lot lately hehe. --If it ain't
oke, flash it's firmware!<i></i>

ya i leveled a few chars up to I think 8? figured I would let a few more peeps get into beta because at least in the area I am in there is like no one around to group with at all and solo'n gets pretty boring pretty fast.<
>
<
>
Its awesome to drop a mobs health by over 50% with my big nuke but then the son of a bitch has a long refresh so then I get my lil sorcerer ass handed to me.<
>
<
>
My only beef is you can NOT even touch a purple con and red cons are super high resists rate...I hate that shit. 1 level really shouldn't make you go from not being able to land a nuke PERIOD to being able to kill a mob, least in EQ they gave you like 8 level spread. (so basically you can't have a group of people trying really hard ass mobs because of this which ruins a lot of fun imo) <i></i>

I received the invitation to apply.. wondering when they will accept more applicants. If they haven't already...<
>
<
>
Here's hoping though. <
>
<
>
Take care,<
>
Muli <i></i>

Atm they don't have any type of functioning map tools or any way really to tell or mark where anything is outside of hand drawn maps so that gets a bit annoying but they should be getting some in the future.<
>
<
>
I am sure they are going to be adding more soon, 100-150 people online max isn't really going to be testing there stuff enough but they have a lot on there plate already to fix so who knows, good luck <
>
<
>
I ran into Chod on the sever and I think Buku, sticks, verax and one or 2 other lanys people are in it which when you look at the small % (I can't imagine more then 500 or 1000 max invites have been sent out compared to the shit ton of people that tried to get in) to have that many lanys folks end up in it. Crazy indeed. <i></i>

Clearly, Turbo has no concept of an NDA. <i></i>

Didn't they say a while back that they weren't going to have any in-game maps? <i></i>

Considering I have pretty much drafted one this summer for a new technology I was utilizing on one of my projects I think I probably do <
>
<
>
But I really did not say anything you can't find on the offical boards if you look but yes technically I shouldn't be discussing it. Luckily I care for my great follow lanys folk so much I am risking my beta spot just to inform you Neesha!!!<
>
<
>
And no doon last I was told they were going to have something put in just not sure what they were going to use. Atm it just is a evely squared grid that you can't see any landforms or zoom in etc but your corpse does show up on it and also the name of the "chunk". <i></i>

heh chunk, I've had to remember back to the early EQ days.<
>
<
>
I had to learn all these new acronyms and ab
eviations for things. This chunk thing had me going for a while too. <i></i>

anyone else getting log in error AFTER logging in? I log in and then i get to the screen with the stream and field of trees and grass then a red error message pops up saying THE VANGAURD LAUNCHER DID NOT RETURN A VALID LOGIN ID.<
>
<
>
anyone on beta have any ideas? <
>
<i></i>

Happened to me before, pretty sure it's because either server or chunk is down. <i></i>

So i am bitter.<
