    GTA Online

    Hey, everyone! I wanted to talk about bringing GTA Online in TAW. I recently started playing it again. I had account on PS3 back in 2014-2016 (level 91) and now I started again on PC with another member from RS division. So I got amazed about the new (at least for me) stuff they brought in. Like MCs, Businesses, CREW(this one has been there since day 1 but still), Nightclubs and some other features. So You choose to be either an MC member or CEO or any other businesses. I myself haven't tried CEO part but I can see so many people as CEO in whichever server I'm in. My attention went straight to MC (childhood dream y'know) and we started an MC with the other member. And we thought IF this game comes to TAW we gotta expand the business. So We already grinded (8 hours yesterday for example) and right now we got Counterfeit Cash Factory and a Cocaine Lab(which has the highest income due to the internet) also we are planning to buy the third one already. So the features of being in an MC:

    • Patched members and ranks - Prospect, Enforcer, Road Captain, SGT. at ARMS, VP and finally President.  

    • The Clubhouse - Everyone can stock their motorbikes in the clubhouse. We have a table where we sit and decide what to do - Like taking missions as clubs and stuff. The lowest money we got from those missions has been 14K per each. Also when upgraded we get: Gunlocker, Shooting Range, Motorbike workshop

    • Riding - The Road Captain or President can lead the club wherever they go. When one of them sets the riding formation, We get into a formation and game limits everyone's top speed depending on the leader in that ride. Also, it repairs your vehicle, gives you hp AND armor as long as you are in the formation

    • Businesses - As I mentioned those two businesses we already got, We run errands to get more supplies - after those errands everyone gets money except the president. Those supplies help the businesses to make the products. After they are done, it goes to President's Nightclub (which we already got lol) and we take those products to buyers to gain extra money (for example, when there was 170K product in Counterfeit Cash Factory, we sold them for 277K because we chose the risky road and my VP (mourneedarko) got around 10% of that money).

    • Outfit - we can choose our MC outfits and put TAW logo behind our cuts. Which would be awesome, IKR?

    • And the best part rival MCs - if there are other MCs in our server they will try to steal from us which will lead to cool fight between at least two MCs.

    If you are interested please make sure to fill out the Vanguard Interest Form.

    Some cool photos of us:

    Vanguard Presents: Vanguard on the Horizon March 2019

    It’s time for the March 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.

    Rust

    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.


    Do whatever it takes to survive.


    Grand Theft Auto V

    Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.


    Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.


    The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created, Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story.


    All the classic hallmarks of the groundbreaking series return, including incredible attention to detail and Grand Theft Auto’s darkly humorous take on modern culture, alongside a brand new and ambitious approach to open world multiplayer.


    Developed by series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is available worldwide for PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox One® and Xbox 360®.


    Stellaris

    Explore a vast galaxy full of wonder! Featuring deep strategic gameplay, a rich and enormously diverse selection of alien races and emergent storytelling, Stellaris has engaging challenging gameplay that rewards interstellar exploration as you traverse, discover, interact and learn more about the multitude of species you will encounter during your travels.


    Path of Exile

    Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. It is designed around a strong online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races. The game is completely free and will never be "pay to win".


    Black Desert Online

    Black Desert Online is a sandbox, living-world MMORPG. Experience fast-paced, action-packed combat, hunt monsters and huge bosses, fight with friends in a guild to siege nodes and region castles, train your life skills such as fishing, trading, crafting, cooking, and much more!


    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 single handedly 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!


    World War Z


    Choose Your Class

    Level up six unique classes - Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Slasher, Medic, Fixer, and Exterminator - each with their own unique perks and play styles. Customize powerful weapons to survive higher difficulty challenges.


    Stories From a World at War

    Humanity is on the brink of extinction. From New York, to Moscow, to Jerusalem, the undead apocalypse continues to spread. Countless millions of ravenous zombies without feeling or fear overwhelm and infect the embattled survivors of World War Z.

    As the end looms, a hardened few band together and endure. Alone, we are easily overcome. Together, we may yet bring down the horde and press on.


    The Zombie Swarm

    In-game Zombie Hordes behave like real crowds, getting stuck in narrow corridors and climbing on top of each other to reach players on higher levels. Hordes become increasingly more difficult to defeat and behave like single entity bosses as players progress through the game.


    Trials Rising


    Explore over-the-top action and physics-bending motorcycle racing in the latest opus of the Trials franchise. All new features, more competitions and more tracks means new challenges.


    Ride challenging tracks around the world – from the Great Wall of China and New York City to the Eiffel Tower and everywhere in between.


    With the new hilarious Tandem Bike, get your friends and try to control one bike with two riders.


    From your local backyard to worldwide stadiums, defeat all your opponents online and rise to glory.


    Create and share unique levels in Track Central using over 10 000 items available. Possibilities are endless - and so is the fun.



    Neverwinter

    In Neverwinter, explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms campaign setting, as it rises from the ashes of destruction. Epic stories, action combat and classic role playing await those heroes courageous enough to enter the fantastic world of Neverwinter!


    Completely Free-to-Play

    You don’t have to pay to adventure in Faerûn. All playable content from level 1 to level cap is completely free to experience!


    Dungeons & Dragons Experience

    Whether you play table-top or immerse yourself in Dungeons & Dragons stories, experience iconic locations, classes, and encounters — with both heroes and villains — on your journey through the Forgotten Realms.


    Engaging Action Combat

    Move swiftly and boldly through your encounters to maximize your combat effectiveness. Every attack, ability, and dodge will require planning, reflexes and precise execution.



    Again 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.

    Path Of Exile - Synthesis

     

    In Path of Exile: Synthesis, you will encounter Cavas, recover his lost memories and chain them together to reach valuable rewards, new boss fights and crafting opportunities.

     

    Our March expansion contains the Synthesis challenge league, new items, new gems, a complete rebalance of spells throughout Path of Exile, an integrated version of the Betrayalleague and much, much more.

     

    In this league, the players will encounter Cavas and fragments of his memories scattered across the world. Players can enter a memory that leads into a subzone, where they must move fast to stabilize and capture the crumbling memory. These memories are then used in the Memory Nexus to create paths that lead to other pieces of memory. Memories can contain fractured items that contain a permanently fixed mod. Fractured items can also be used to synthesize a new item base with a special implicit mod.

     

     

     

     


     

     

    Path of Exile is a free-to-play action role-playing video game developed and published by Grinding Gear Games. Following an open beta phase, the game was released in October 2013.

     

    Get it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/238960/Path_of_Exile/

     

    Ingame Guild:

     

    A PoE guild is an in-game association of players. It can give a group of players much more organization and communication than the friend system, adding a private guild chat (bound to the "&" symbol).

    Guilds are account-wide and can't be joined only by specific characters.

     

    So group up, conquer the game and show what you are made of!

    Vanguard would like to see this game in TAW. If you are interested in seeing Atlas in TAW please fill out the Future Games form.


    If you like Ark: Survival Evolved, Blackwake, or even The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies, you’ll want to check this game out.  Atlas is the ultimate survival MMO, which will host up to 40k+ simultaneous players in the same world.


    It’s the definition of cooperation and conflict as you stake your claim in this endless open world, conquering territory, constructing ships, searching for that buried treasure on a desolate island, assembling forts, plundering settlements, and hiring crew.  Take to the seas, as you wage war against enemy fleets, commanding large ships of war using the captaining system (or divide up the responsibility amongst trusted lieutenants). Or take control of any weapon directly with your own character.



    You’ll start out building a drydock and begin with a dinghy rowboat, a basic raft, tiny sloop, or a nimble schooner.  From there you’ve move on up to your own versatile brigantine or titanic galleon, capable of transporting your crew and cargo.  Personalize your ship by naming her in big bold letters, give her a fresh paint job and copy your own pirate flag. Make your ship truly yours as you custom place each of the pieces on your ship, from sails to planks and gunports, each and every single structure has a physical weight and material, to function EXACTLY how you want it to.  In addition, your personalization doesn’t just stop at your ship. There is an extensive character visual customization, which allows for an endless realistic and no so realistic characters. You can even “per pixel” design your own permanent tattoos.


    Now for what we do best in TAW, recruit real players and AI crew from freeports, to men distinct stations aboard your ship.  Yes, you’re not just resorting using all AI crew, you can have your friends as part of your crew as you pillage and plunder your way to infamy.



    Whether it’s bolted down or not, everything is up for grabs when it comes to PvP.  Whether it’s your opponents ships, their forts, land, or booty. If you can get your hands on it, you can take it.  Each ships permanent logbook will tell the tale of their legendary travel, exploits and ownership.


    There is so much available for this game, that we possibly can’t list it all.  You’d be here all day reading it. But what you can do, is head on over to the Steam Site and get ready to download this game, as it becomes available December 19th of 2018.  So get ready to head to the nearest port matey, and plunder like you never plundered before.



    ANY MEMBER WISHING TO SEE THIS GAME COME TO TAW AND BE PART OF IT’S SPIN UP TEAM, PLEASE FILL OUT THE VANGUARD INTEREST FORM.

    ABOUT THIS GAME

    Space Engineers is an open world sandbox game defined by creativity and exploration.

    It is a sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration and survival in space and on planets. Players build space ships, wheeled vehicles, space stations, planetary outposts of various sizes and uses (civil and military), pilot ships and travel through space to explore planets and gather resources to survive. Featuring both creative and survival modes, there is no limit to what can be built, utilized and explored.

                   

    Space Engineers features a realistic, volumetric-based physics engine: everything in the game can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed. The game can be played either in single or multiplayer modes.

    Volumetric objects are structures composed from block-like modules interlocked in a grid. Volumetric objects behave like real physical objects with mass, inertia and velocity. Individual modules have real volume and storage capacity.

                   

    Space Engineers is inspired by reality and by how things work. Think about modern-day NASA technology extrapolated 60 years into the future. Space Engineers strives to follow the laws of physics and doesn't use technologies that wouldn't be feasible in the near future.

    Space Engineers concentrates on construction and exploration aspects, but can be played as a survival shooter as well. We expect players will avoid engaging in direct man-to-man combat and instead use their creativity and engineering skills to build war machines and fortifications to survive in space and on planets. Space Engineers shouldn’t be about troops; it should be about the machinery you build.

    Performance Notes

    The performance depends on the complexity of your world and the configuration of your computer. Simple worlds run smoothly even on low-end computers, but a more complex world with rich object interactions could overload even high-end computers.
