    Hell Let Loose has sadly been closed down this month. With the unfortunate ending with this hard working division each member has been awarded

    and commended for their immense amount of hard work into making the division succesful. Sadly because of little to no communications between players and developers

    the game has reached a struggle point and many players are left refunding the game they were so excited to play.

    Please give a huge HOORAH for Hell Let Loose and comment on any of their awards to commend the work they put into their division.

    Blast From The Past

     

    Greetings All,

     

    As a special addition to the wonderful month of July, the Vanguard team has decided to publish a whole new post dedicated to gaining interest in games we have tried before!

    The previous teams of these games ran into some trouble however we feel with the right team these games would make an excellent addition into the expanding TAW Army.

    So keep in mind that these games may be the future of TAW so if you have any interest in any of these games or any others, fill out the Vanguard Interest Form please.

     

    It Is Time For a Blast From The Past!

    Ark Survival Evolved

     

    Summary:

     

    As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame & breed the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape! Grind through hours and hours with friends with constant enjoyment fighting against all odds to survive and conquer your enemies. Use your instincts and more to survive as you will be tested at every moment in the game.

     

    Key Features:

     

    Tame, Train, Breed, and Ride Dinosaurs-

    Dinosaurs, Creatures, & Breeding! -- over 100+ creatures can be tamed using a challenging capture-&-affinity process, involving weakening a feral creature to knock it unconscious, and then nursing it back to health with appropriate food. Once tamed, you can issue commands to your tames, which it may follow depending on how well you’ve tamed and trained it. Tames, which can continue to level-up and consume food, can also carry Inventory and Equipment such as Armor, carry prey back to your settlement depending on their strength, and larger tames can be ridden and directly controlled! Fly a Pterodactyl over the snow-capped mountains, lift allies over enemy walls, race through the jungle with a pack of Raptors, tromp through an enemy base along a gigantic brontosaurus, or chase down prey on the back of a raging T-Rex! 

     

    Food, Water, Temperature, and Weather-

    You must eat and drink to survive, with different kinds of plants & meat having different nutritional properties, including human meat. Ensuring a supply of fresh water to your home and inventory is a pressing concern. All physical actions come at a cost of food and water, long-distance travel is fraught with subsistence peril! Inventory weight makes you move slower, and the day/night cycle along with randomized weather patterns add another layer of challenge by altering the temperature of the environment, causing you to hunger or thirst more quickly. Build a fire or shelter, and craft a large variety of customizable clothing & armors, to help protect yourself.

     

    Harvest then Build-

    By chopping down forests full of trees and mining metal and other precious resources, you can craft the parts to build massive multi-leveled structures composed of complex snap-linked parts, including ramps, beams, pillars, windows, doors, gates, remote gates, trapdoors, water pipes, faucets, generators, wires and all manner of electrical devices, and ladders among many other types. Structures have a load system to fall apart if enough support has been destroyed, so reinforcing your buildings is important. All structures and items can be painted to customize the look of your home.

     

    Tribe System-

    Create a Tribe and add your friends to it, and all your tames can be commanded by and allied to anyone in your Tribe. Your Tribe will also be able to respawn at any of your home spawn points. Promote members to Tribe Admins to reduce the burden of management. Distribute key items and pass-codes to provide access your shared village!

     

    Image result for rust

     

    Rust

     

    Summary:

     

    The only aim in Rust is to survive. To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a fire. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town. Plain and simple, do whatever it takes to survive.

     

    Key Features:

     

    Survive-

    Everything wants you to die. You need to find food, shelter and weapons to prevent it. Starting with food, there is a variety of animals to slaughter and devour as well as some flavorful vegetables to eat as well. Whether it be dear, wild boar, a huge bear, or a handful of pumpkins try to find whatever you can to satisfy your hunger. With thirst there are plenty of places to go to satisfy your thirst. Go to a fresh lake and bring a straw or put down a rain catcher and have jugs of water until you burst all in the comfort of your own home! Talking about homes, in Rust there are many ways to experiment with housing whether it be creating a nice but very easily raid able log house or a fully metal army camp like structure with more doors than walls and towering gates so no one can enter. However building is time consuming, many bases that won't be raided take days to farm out the resources and build so set aside a weekend with your friends and build yourself your own fortress! But every fortress needs a defense system that brings the weapons into play, use a variety of weapons ranging from a wimpy sharpened stick to a fully auto AK-47 with explosive ammo. Explore the wide variety of weapons and master each one as you fight off the constant threat of danger in the world of Rust. Watch out because around every corner could be your next enemy!

     

    Teamwork-

    If they're not your friends, they're your enemy. Rust is a tough game. It's not shameful to ask for some help, but be careful who you trust. Make friends in game or bring your own to the party and destroy others. It is always easier to survive with teammates in Rust. See the true value of each of your friends as one may be the best at shooting while all the others can sit there and watch as you crush your enemies! Keep in mind everything in Rust is a struggle for survival but with friends its a bit easier, just be careful with who you become friends with...

     

    Raid-

    The best defense is a strong offense. They can't attack you if they're dead and you've got all their stuff. Your motivation for raiding can be anything, revenge or just the want for loot, whatever it may be use a wide variety of explosives to explode, destroy, and take anything your enemies own. Raids are all focused around PvP so through your experience learn the best ways to kill your enemies and take all their stuff. Spare some or take all, whatever your needs may be raiding offers up the best chance to defeat any danger, get face to face with death and survival. It is the true test of survival. Get your friends, allies, or just a bunch of randoms and defeat your common enemies.

    Dead By Daylight

     

    Death Is Not an Escape.

    Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed. Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey. The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

     

    • Survive Together… Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?

    • Where Am I? - Each level is procedural generated, so you’ll never know what to expect. Random spawn points mean you will never feel safe as the world and its danger change every time you play.

    • A Feast for Killers - Dead by Daylight draws from all corners of the horror world. As a Killer you can play as anything from a powerful Slasher to terrifying paranormal entities. Familiarize yourself with your Killing Grounds and master each Killer’s unique power to be able to hunt, catch and sacrifice your victims.

    Dauntless

     

    This new Action RPG has finally announced their open beta for the game. Play as a slayer fighting to rid the once peaceful lands of powerful beasts known in the game as Behemoths. Co operate with fellow gamers to try to destroy each Behemoth that gets in your way.

    Use various weapons and armor to create your ideal character and find the playstyle you enjoy the most. Party up with friends and explore the endless fun that comes with the captivating action and beautiful graphics as you slice, slam, cut, and pierce your way through any enemy.


    Key Features


    -The Enemy!

    The Behemoths are just one of the unique qualities of this game. The Behemoths are all different in several ways while maintaining similarity. Behemoths will share similar looks without being exact visual copies of each other,

    as well although only having three different elemental effects each enemy has unique abilities and characteristics found in no other Behemoth. Mechanically these enemies fit perfectly into the game,

    with the perfect combination of agitating and intense attacks from every enemy, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat for the whole fight just to end with either your hair ripped out or wicked good loot.

     

    -The Intense Combat

    The combat is hard to describe as in order to fully understand the level of depth in each fight you just have to play the game! The combat is filled with simple moves and combos but watch as all your practice is put under immense pressure as no practice can prepare for the battles you will faces.

    Timing plays a heavy importance in this game as no one can just one shot a Behemoth, each battle is an adventure of it's own as you try to memorize the attacks, behavior, and abilities of each enemy. With each Behemoth a different necessity of dodging is needed whether it be dodging projectiles

    or a charging enemy be prepared to be put under the most extreme intensity as you make that life saving last second dodge. With each enemy being a average 15 minute adventure make sure to combine your skills with your companions as each player must be willing to risk it all to achieve success.

     

    -The Slayer

    Embark on a epic journey as your fully customizable slayer. Each player is allowed is prompet to customize their character at the start of the game allowing the player to choose such things as ancestry, hair, and even tatoos.

    After the customization use the story line as a way to motivate yourself to push through ever challenge and reap the benefits, through all the Behemoths the Slayer is awarded with parts broken off from the enemies and collected during combat.

    These parts are used for various different types of armor, weapons, and lanterns. After killing a Behemoth find yourself sorting through your weapons and armor just trying to prepare for the challenge ahead.

     

    -The Armory

    The game play in Dauntless does not depend on how your character is customized, instead the weapons and armor you equip will change the way you play the game. Every weapon presents a new play style, as of now there is only five different weapons,

    however each weapon provides an immensely different game play experience for gamers while still balancing the strengths of each with their own weaknesses. Use the blades if you prefer up close and quick attacks filled with fast dodging but little damage,

    use the hammer if you enjoy heavy crushing attacks with simple combos but long attacks, use the axe for a even stronger and heavier attack with a longer time for each attack, use the war pike if you love those close calls and quick attacks but smaller amounts of damage,

    and last but not least use the sword for a nice middle play between all the weapons more favored towards intermediate amounts of damage and pretty short attacks.
