    The Division 2

    The Division 2

    BIGGER THREATS, MORE WAYS TO PLAY
    Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is a shooter RPG with campaign, co-op, and PvP modes that offers more variety in missions and challenges, new progression systems with unique twists and surprises, and fresh innovations that offer new ways to play.

    IF D.C. FALLS, AMERICA FALLS
    Washington D.C. is on the brink of collapse. Lawlessness and instability threaten our society, and rumors of a coup in the capitol are only amplifying the chaos. All active Division agents are desperately needed to save the city before it's too late.

    GEAR UP. SAVE DC.
    You are a member of the Division, an elite group of civilian agents charged with being the last line of defense. With DC at risk, it's time to gear up and use your unique skills to take on this new threat.

    THE CAPITAL IN CRISIS
    Unlike anything before it, The Division 2's Washington D.C. is a 1:1 representation of the real city, making the game world more authentic than ever. The game's map offers up-close-and-personal views of landmarks, natural landscapes, neighborhoods, and enemy hideouts.


    ENEMY FACTIONS AT YOUR DOORSTEP
    Various factions, vying for power in the wake of the crisis, are aiming to claim D.C.’s future for themselves. Only Division agents are equipped to take on these new threats and protect the civilians that remain.

     

    TRUE SONS


    A group of paramilitary warlords bent on using their combat expertise and overwhelming firepower to dominate their enemies and expand their territory. Smart and organized, the True Sons are led by a former JTF officer whose ruthlessness and combat prowess make him and his combatants a horrifying force.


    HYENAS


    A loosely organized gang of opportunistic raiders that prey on struggling civilian encampments through violence and intimidation. These hedonistic scavengers take everything they can steal and destroy everything else to deprive their enemies of valuable resources. The Hyenas are led by a council of the strongest pack leaders.


    OUTCASTS


    Bitter survivors of a forced quarantine bent on revenge against those who brutally imprisoned them and the society that stood by and let it happen. Their charismatic, bloodthirsty leader believes everyone is complicit and urges her followers to punish the guilty by spreading sickness and murdering indiscriminately.

    Diablo III

    Diablo III

    Diablo III is an action role-playing game that takes place throughout the dark fantasy world of Sanctuary.

    You play a hero who engages in fast-paced combat that tests your reflexes and rewards tactical decisions. As you slay hordes of monsters and challenging bosses, you grow in experience and ability, learning new skills and acquiring items of incredible power.


    The demons of the Burning Hells have long desired to invade the realm of men. To this end, a powerful group of demon lords known as the Lesser Evils exiled their brethren, the Prime Evils, from the Hells and sent them to the human world of Sanctuary.

    War came with them. The Prime Evils—Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal—began corrupting humans, twisting them into dark servants, and poisoning their minds with false promises of power and wealth. They planned to use these souls in their ongoing battle against the angels of the High Heavens.

    Brave heroes banded together and managed to slay the Prime Evils, though the demons’ influence left parts of the world scarred and broken. Thousands of people perished, towns were burned to ash, and an entire nation fell to ruin when the Worldstone was destroyed. This ancient relic once kept Sanctuary safe from the armies of demons and angels, but it has been shattered, and its protection is no more.

    Today, few survivors tell tales of the Prime Evils, and many people on Sanctuary are unaware that the Worldstone ever existed. They remain ignorant of the growing danger that the Worldstone’s absence places them in, content to till their fields and sell their wares in relative peace. But those who saw the Prime Evils’ devastation firsthand remember that two of the Lesser Evils yet live in the Burning Hells…Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, and Belial, the Lord of Lies. These great demons have not forgotten the world of Sanctuary—indeed, they see a chance to seize it for themselves.

    Now, a star has fallen from the heavens—a grim omen that heralds the End of Days. Sanctuary’s frightened inhabitants are turning to abandoned legends and prophecies for answers. They have no hope against a full onslaught from the Burning Hells. The heroes of the past are gone or dead.

    A new champion must rise…

    Survive Build Dominate!

    Conan Exiles

    Survive Build Dominate! It’s in the name it’s in the Game. In order to make it in this beautiful game you have to learn how to use each of these tasks in order to make it! Conan Exiles Is like a barbaric Rust! You Scour the lands looking for resources to make weapons, Tools and shelter and as you adventure you train skills such as Strength, Agility, Vitality, Accuracy, Grit, Encumbrance, and Survival.



    Survive:  In the world of Conan the Barbarian, survival is more than being well-fed and hydrated. Here you must Weather scouring Sandstorms, save your mind from being Corrupted and going insane, and fight vicious Monsters from the darkest holes of the earth while harvesting Resources to Craft, Tools, and Weapons, then build everything from a small settlement to entire cities.

    Build:

    Build a shelter to survive. Ride across a vast world and explore alone, or band together with other players to build entire Settlements and Strongholds to withstand fierce invasion! By chopping down trees for wood and mining stone and other precious resources, you can craft massive multi-leveled structures composed of complex or simple snap-linked parts, from foundations to including walls, ceilings, windows, doors, pillars, gates, among many other types.
    Shelter is key to reducing the extremes of the sandstorm and provides security for yourself and to protect your stash. Band together with other players to build entire settlements to withstand fierce invasions!


    Dominate:

    When strong enough, march forth into battle and wage war against your enemies as you fight to dominate the exiled lands. Sacrifice enemy Players on the Altars of the Gods and shift the balance of power your way. Unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced Combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying.

    Vanguard Welcomes A New PIA

     

    2018 finished off with us bringing DrFajitas back to Vanguard as the Division Commander and MadMonk as the Division Officer for Horizon Division.  It was a great way to end the year, making Vanguard almost whole.

     

    Now we are in the first month of 2019, and recently put up a proverbial "Help Wanted" sign on our PIA Office Door.  It didn't take long before we were conducting an interview to fill the position.

     

    Today, we the staff of Vanguard, are happy to bring on the final member of our Team, MooreTTV.  Moore comes to us with experience in Vanguard, and also as a PIA.  He understands how important the PIA role is to each Vanguard  Division as he will be working hands on with them to help be their voice for blogs  and the newsletters.  We will be working with MooreTTV to become acclimated in his new role as part of our team and look forward to his newsletters and blog posts. 

     

    If you see him on TeamSpeak, please take a moment to congratulate him on his new role with the celbratory kick.

    Vanguard on The Horizon - January Edition

     

    Greetings all, 

     

    It's time for January's On The Horizon Post, for those of you not aware of what that is. In Vanguard every month we list several games that Vanguard feels would make a great place in TAW, and we publish them in a blog. Most titles are newer but there are some older ones as well that we feel would be good in our community. Also 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.

     

    As well please contact the Vanguard Staff if you have any questions about these games or any not on this list.

     

     

    Anthem - February 22, 2019

     

    Anthem is an open-world action role-playing game set in a futuristic world where humanity is on the verge of collapse. Players take the role of characters known as Freelancers, who are sent on missions where they'll interact with other players, collect resources and take on enemy combatants. The goal is to defend the Anthem from both the impending storm and the dominion, protecting the world they know. Players belong to different settlements, where they can interact with other people. 

     

    The design of the game is built around the concept that you should be able to just play with your friends with as few hurdles as possible. So that means jumping in on a friend's mission at any point, jumping back out if you need to, and having the challenges of the world not immediately punish you if your friends are at significantly different power levels than you are.

     

     

     

    Atlas

     

    From the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved comes ATLAS - a massively multiplayer first-and-third-person fantasy pirate adventure. ATLAS will host up to 40,000 players exploring the same Globe simultaneously, with an unprecedented scale of cooperation and conflict! Stake your claim in this endless open world as you conquer territory, construct ships, search for buried treasure, assemble forts, plunder settlements and hire crew to join your powerful growing armada. Start small then expand your spheres of influence from a small island, up to an unstoppable pirate empire that spans across the oceans. Wage battle against enemy fleets as you singlehandedly command large ships of war using the captaining system (or divide up to the responsibilities among your trusted lieutenants), or take control of any weapon directly with your own character. Dive deep into the briny water to explore permanent sunken wrecks and recover salvage, unearth the loot from procedurally-generated Treasure Maps and challenge zones, or complete challenging main questlines. Team up with other aspiring adventurers and sail into the vast ocean to discover new lands rich with region-specific elements, tame exotic natural and mythical creatures, raid forgotten tombs, confront powerful ancient gods and even build and administer your own colonies, cities, and civilizations to dominate the ATLAS in this ultimate quest for fortune and glory!

     

     

    Hell Let Loose

     

    You've never played World War 2 the way it was meant to be played... with lumbering tanks dominating the battlefield, crucial supply chains fuelling the frontlines, being a cog in the machine of colossal combined arms warfare. Hell Let Loose puts you in the chaos of war, complete with deep player-controlled vehicles, a dynamically evolving front line, and crucial unit-focused gameplay that commands the tide of battle.


    Featuring sweeping maps modelled on real reconnaissance images and satellite data, the entire battlefield is divided up into large capture sectors - allowing for emergent and constantly unique gameplay that pits two forces of fifty players in a fight to the death across fields, bridges, forests and towns on an ever-evolving front line. When a sector is captured, it will generate one of three resources for your team, creating a complex meta-game that will influence your team’s march to victory.

     

    Key Features: 

    • Fight in epic 50 vs 50 multiplayer battles
    • Select one of 14 unique roles
    • Take control of the full spectrum of vehicles - from the fearsome Panther tank to the humble Jeep
    • Bombard and wipe the enemy from the field by taking control of heavy weapons - such as anti-tank guns and artillery
    • Build defenses on the battlefield to fortify your position
    • Use teamwork to smash through the enemy front line and push through to victory
    • Play the game as the Commander and lead your team to victory using different abilities as you orchestrate your forces via the tactical map

     

     

    Conan Exiles

     

    Conan Exiles is an open world survival game set in the lands of Conan the Barbarian. Survive in a savage world, build a home and a kingdom, and dominate your enemies in epic warfare.


    After Conan himself saves your life by cutting you down from the corpse tree, you must quickly learn to survive. Weather scouring sandstorms, shield yourself from intense temperatures, and hunt animals for food and resources. Explore a vast and seamless world, from the burning desert in the south to the snow-capped mountains of the north. 

    Forge the legacy of your clan as you fight to reclaim and dominate the Exiled Lands. Use the powerful building system to create anything from a small home to entire cities piece by piece. Wage war using swords, bows, siege weapons, and even take control of giant avatars of the gods to crush the homes of your enemies in epic battles. 


    Conan Exiles can be played in full single-player, coop, or persistent online multiplayer.

     

    Journey through a massive and seamless open world. From the rolling sand dunes of the southern desert, through the mysterious eastern swamp and the snow-capped mountains of the frozen north. Climb anywhere and experience full freedom of exploration.

     

     

    The Division 2 - March 15, 2019 

     

    Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is a shooter RPG with campaign, co-op, and PvP modes that offers more variety in missions and challenges, new progression systems with unique twists and surprises, and fresh innovations that offer new ways to play.

    When you're battling everything from warring factions to contamination zones and the elements, you need to make sure you're well prepared. The Division 2 offers fully customizable agents and gear. There is a variety of weapons, armor, and cosmetic options to find, plus more gear sets and exotic items available to high-level players. When you reach the end-game, unique specializations will allow you to further expand your arsenal and abilities.

     

    Each Agent will customize the tools and abilities they bring to the field, and the skills you hone in on will have a major impact on your—and the city’s—chances of survival.

    Ring Of Elysium - Season 2: Eurpoa

    Ring Of Elysium - Season 2: Eurpoa



    If the image above has you slightly confused because you’re used to kicking up powder as you race for your life to the airlift chopper, avoiding the hailstorm of bullets in a frozen tundra that resembles Canada, don’t worry, you’re not going crazy.


    Season 2, Europa is going to have you trading your parka in for shorts & wetsuits, and you’ll be reliving your childhood as you ride a bmx bike instead of a snowboard.


    With Season 2, we’ll be receiving a new map appropriately names Paradise Falls, and it is beautiful.  Crystal clear skies, rolling mountains, spectacular villas, it’s a shame that we’re going to turn it into a war zone and turn the waters red as we mow down our opponents and blow everything up.



    Now there’s still a few days until we vacation south, so here’s some important info to be aware of.


    Season Two Countdown Daily Check-in Rewards

    • To celebrate the upcoming launch of Adventurer Season Two, a limited-time only daily check-in event will be opened from Jan. 9th to Jan. 15th (Pacific Standard Time)

    • Players will be rewarded with an exclusive Season One player portrait when they reach 3 successful check-ins! (Please note that the check-in doesn’t have to be consecutive in order to claim the portrait)

    UI

    • Replaced the default loading screen in celebration of the upcoming release of the new map- Europa island

    Adventurer Season Two launches on Jan. 16th (Pacific Standard Time)!

    • The Adventurer Season One will end in just 5 days, and Season Two will be launched right after Season One’s end. Once again, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone for the support you have shown for the Adventurer Season One. Your amazing enthusiasm became our biggest driving force to make ROE a better game!

    Here’s the specific ending dates for Adventurer Season One:

    • Season One's Weekly Challenges will become unavailable on January 15, 2019 (Pacific Standard Time);

Because you can purchase the Adventurer Pass mid-season and retroactively earn all the premium rewards based on your season tier that you've already reached! Hurry up and take this opportunity to level up your tiers and unlock the various adventurer character styles before the season ends!


    Please note:

    1. All of Season One's Adventurer Pass rewards (including cosmetic items, Adventurer Characters, Adventurer Character Styles, Traversal equipment, Player portraits, Loading screens, Lobby BGM, etc.) will be permanently discontinued and become unavailable for purchase when Season One ends, you will not be able to purchase and obtain these rewards ever again in the future!


    2. All of Season One’s Battle Buddy invitation rewards will be permanently discontinued and become unavailable when Season One ends, you will not be able to obtain these rewards ever again in the future!


    3. We will also continue to release new styles for Season One's Adventurer Characters in Season Two, increasing the collection value and exclusivity for the season one adventurer characters even more! Here’s a preview of the upcoming “Season Two exclusive style” for Gavin, let’s take a look!


     

    Wondering what Paradise Falls map looks like?  Well we have that for you too.

    Conan Exiles

     

    Conan Exiles

     

     

    This game was in TAW at one time, and Vanguard is wondering if its time to give it another look. If you would like to see this game in taw please fill out the Future Games form.

     

     

     

     

    ABOUT THIS GAME

     



     

     

    Conan Exiles is an open world survival game set in the lands of Conan the Barbarian. Survive in a savage world, build a home and a kingdom, and dominate your enemies in epic warfare.

    After Conan himself saves your life by cutting you down from the corpse tree, you must quickly learn to survive. Weather scouring sandstorms, shield yourself from intense temperatures, and hunt animals for food and resources. Explore a vast and seamless world, from the burning desert in the south to the snow-capped mountains of the north.

    Forge the legacy of your clan as you fight to reclaim and dominate the Exiled Lands. Use the powerful building system to create anything from a small home to entire cities piece by piece. Wage war using swords, bows, siege weapons, and even take control of giant avatars of the gods to crush the homes of your enemies in epic battles.

     

     

     

     

     

    Conan Exiles can be played in full single-player, coop, or persistent online multiplayer.

    SURVIVE IN A SAVAGE LAND

    Dress well or light a campfire to stay warm and make sure to cool yourself down in the heat. Hunt, cook, eat, and drink to stay alive. Build a shelter to weather scouring sandstorms. Be careful when exploring darkened ruins or you might become corrupted by foul magic.

    Join us in Foxhole


    Have you ever wanted to play in a massive multiplayer game where you work with hundreds of players to shape the outcome of a persistant online war?  How about being an individual soldier that contributes to the war through your efforts in logistics, base building, combat, etc? Love the WWII era? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to check out Foxhole.


    Foxhole is a player directed warfare sandbox game, where EVERY soldier is controlled by a player.  Soldiers will be the driving force of every element of the war, from weapon manufacturing and base building, to strategy & combat.  Think of it similar to Command & Conquer but instead of you controlling everything, each soldier is someone else. Even after you log out, your presence still stays active in the world.


    That’s right, Foxhole is a persistant living world just waiting for players to conquer or relinquish territories in this constant war torn conflict.  Team up with others to execute long term strategies that take days of planning to reduce the risk of casualties, join in alternate timeline usiverses where great wars never ended and the war has been ongoing for centuries, as you gain notoriety & influence among your faction.



    Foxhole is still listed on Steam as being in Early Access, but don’t let that fool you.  This game does boast mostly positive reviews and the developers are constantly keeping their players up to date on what’s going on.  If you’re wondering how long the game will be in Early Access, Clapfoot (the developers), haven’t stated, but keep in mind, the game did spend about a year in “pre-alpha” testing before they even took it to Early Access.  They want to make sure that what they roll out is a fully polished game and value the input from their community. In fact, the current version is stable, balanced, and has no game breaking bugs. You can log in daily and has been able to support the load thrown at it for just over a year now.  And if you’re concerned about it being an “indie developer”, let’s put it this way, back in 2017 they were voted #1 for IndieDB, made it into the top 100 back in 2016 and according to the developer: “A very strong and active Foxhole community has existed for over a year now. We have over 50,000 members on our Discord (http://discord.gg/foxhole) and 5000 members on our subreddit (reddit.com/r/foxholegame). Check out all the fan art and fiction that our community has created over the last year (http://www.foxholegame.com/blog/category/Community). In addition, we put out developer streams and blogs on a regular basis. Feedback from the community is constantly being evaluated and integrated into the game.”


    So if after all this, you’re still interested in seeing this game come to Vanguard, please click on our Vanguard Interest Form and fill it out.
