More Content designer ?
Hi again. I realy liked the game and i like what you are trying to do now. This is the reason for my question. Could you use more Content Designers ?
And if so, could someone with no experience in it help you in rebuilding the game ?
I read somewhere on this forum, that you have programms for scripting and so on. So even someone like me could try it ?

Re: More Content designer ?
I know this will sound backwards but for developers, you don't need as much working knowledge of the game. The content designers ,though, we've found from experience that you need a strong working knowledge of Vanguard when it was still Live. A lot of what we set up, there's no guides or information for. We have to base it on our experience in the game. Even if there are quests and such that we've never done before, those that had a lot of experience with the game could sort of figure out what the original devs had in mind.
Right now we've found that it becomes a impediment to our progress for people with little experience to try to do the content design. It's a shame, really, because we have so many people willing to help out. But it's an unfortunate truth.

Re: More Content designer ?
What is your experience with Vanguard when it was Live?
How long did you play Live VG?
How many characters did you level? How many got to max level?
Did you do any diplomacy?
Did you do any crafting?

Had 4 chars at max (lvl 55) Necro, Psi, Warrior and Cleric ... a few others around lvl 40ish. I played around 4 years. Started with my guild when Vanguard came live... also was in the beta.
My Necro was my Raidmain. When the guild left VG, we had "cleared" the Warehouse and many of the overland named bosses.
And yes i did crafting (Leather working) and diplomacy.
The Unholy inquisition was my guild back then.

Oh, you have experience with the game but not in scripting, is that what you're asking?

Re: More Content designer ?
Dunno what is our biggest pain atm, from my perspective these tasks are running under "content design content/clean up crew" label:
* cleaning chunks marked by Jakkal when QA is done or quests completely set
* finishing the chunks where bugs are reported due to unfinished cleaning
* setting harvesting (skinning atm)
* setting pop up messages
* doing fast cleaning services and hotfixes as running through the chunks
* testing based on needs
* plus I wanted to help with quests when having more available time (hope soon)
Stonie, as you can see, this is the big pile of work needed to be done. Sometimes it´s about hours and hours of copy/pasting. That´s why I am happy I can switch among diff types of activities and e.g. set mob´s pathing or placing mobs etc.
Jakal, Onca, I will leave the decision to you ofc., just let me know
