Corpse Camping
I could rarely find time to log into Vanguard recently because of work, so I took a half day off for sunset, and managed to get in a couple hours before they pulled the plug. Now I'm 'corpse camping' Vanguard. All my free time finds me here, at Castaways of Telon, at various fan sites, or searching ...

Re: Awarness - Dungeon Entrance
During beta through early launch, the awareness skill was used for quite a few skill checks. I think it got broken/nerfed around the same time equipment experience was removed. The cap was lowered and it hasn't worked the same since. In the early days, you couldn't see an invisible mob *at all* if y...

Re: Wayback Machine
Thanks for the replies. I'd love to see the data from both vgtact and vanguardcrafters resurrected. The newer sites were a valiant effort but still missing so much.

Re: Beta 1 Screenshots
[quote="Týr"]Wow, those screens are actually super useful for anyone wanting to actually rebuild that UI. When I made the Photoshop reconstruction I only had a couple older official screenshots to work with. Do you have any with the question log or other UI elements open?[/quote] Sadly, no...

Wayback Machine
So I have a question for the nerds. I found a cached copy of vgtact.com on the wayback machine and most of the pages are intact. If I save them manually (save link as...) then I get a working copy of the page, minus the images. Vgtact has loads of sub-pages images, so I tried to mirror the site usin...

Respite - Lvl 46 - Flordiel - Learned from Savage Tree Wayfarer, Savage Tree Warden (humans). Feral Strike - Level 46 ...
Re: Nar'issk
[quote="Sacred"]I recall a discussion on Xeth back years ago with people swapping memories and war stories of the old POTA. Apparently the gear there was too good and received a wide-sweeping nerf. Some people even chimed in to say they only got better weapons at level 50. Not sure if any ...
Nar'issk
If you recognize the subject, then you'll know what I want. I want the old PotA back - the mid 30s dungeon that was hidden behind a password protected door. The loot there was crappy compared to the newer itemization tables, but it was a great place to test a group. There's still some info at: http:...

Re: Corpse aggro
Those same mobs in Thelaseen would also camp a wiped group until everyone released. When we first ran across corpse campers, we blamed it on aggro not clearing properly when we died. Then we noticed they even camped their friends' corpses until they despawned. I had the bright idea of FD'ing my way ...

Re: Beta 1 Screenshots
Here's a picture of GM Fezzeeus showing off a flying mount outside of Leth (I think - Leth looked a lot different back then). They were broadcasting places you could go to see the mounts. My main (Deltharien) was deep in Dargun's Tomb, and it literally took hours of riding to get anywhere back then,...
