Greetings to my brothers and sisters here in TAW. Vanguard is excited to announce that we will be having two spin up meetings this upcoming weekend. For those of you that are unaware as to what a spin up meeting is, let me explain! The spin up meeting is the first task a Spin Up Leader is to conduct and it is where they explain the game they are leading as well as their plans to help it succeed. The point ios to draw in interest and inform those that are present what to expect. These meetings are open to all of TAW and anyone can come in and listen.
Diablo 3 will be having their Spin Up Meeting on September 14th at 3pm EST
DayZ will be having their Spin Up Meeting on September 15th at 2pm EST

Greetings to my brothers and sisters here in TAW. Vanguard is testing the waters so to speak about the interest levels in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Now TAW and Ghost Recon goes way back. We have found success and we have stumbled when it comes to launching these games into Army. However, all it takes is a group of committed individuals that love the game and have the ambition to get it started, to make it succeed. Enough of my ramblings, lets talk about the game!
Like its predecessor Wildlands, Breakpoint is a tactical shooter game set in an open world environment. It is played from a third-person perspective and uses an optional first-person view for aiming weapons. Players take on the role of Lieutenant Colonel Anthony "Nomad" Perryman, a member of the Delta Company, First Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group, also known as "Ghosts", a fictional elite special operations unit of the United States Army under the Joint Special Operations Command. The game world, Auroa, is an open world environment that features a variety of landscapes, and these can be used for tactical advantages. For instance, players can slide down rocky terrain and use mud to camouflage themselves. According to Ubisoft, Auroa is larger than the game world featured in Wildlands. Players have a variety of ways to traverse the open world, controlling various air, land and sea vehicles.
If you would like to see this game in TAW or help with its spin up please fill out an interest form here.
As some of you may or may not know, Conqueror's Blade is a game unique in its own genre. If you've played Mount and Blade an enjoyed it, this is the same but on steroids. It has become an MMO with territory wars, massive PVP siege battles, and open world quest for glory. The premise of the game is to grow your own personal army and aid in taking land from your enemies while on a united front with your house. Alliances are formed, coalitions united and all out warfare. this is perfect for us as The Art of Warfare.
Twice a week Tuesdays and Saturdays we fight to obtain more land while at risk of losing it just the same. This game is free to play and is on steam for those interested. The game is far from being a P2W game so many have become. Join us on our journey to conquer land and place ourselves in the history books within the game.
More on the recent updates can be found HERE.
Come play with us, but be warned, once you taste blood it's hard to deny its lure for more. We have reached tier two and can accept internal transfers.
Once again, The Vanguard Team is looking to give Destiny 2 a second chance to go through the gauntlet of spin up. However before we pull the trigger on this second attempt we would like to first gauge interest from the community. Below I will include a little information about the game and its developer and if you think this game deserves a second shot and you want to see it in TAW please follow the following link to fill out the interest form.
Destiny 2 is an online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie.The game was published by Activision until early 2019, when Bungie acquired the publishing rights to the franchise. It is the sequel to 2014's Destiny and its subsequent expansions. Set in a "mythic science fiction" world, the game features a multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games. In addition to normal story missions, PvE features three-player "strikes" and six-player raids. A free roam patrol mode is also available for each planet and features public events as well as new activities not featured in the original. These new activities have an emphasis on exploration of the planets and interactions with non-player characters (NPCs); the original Destiny only featured NPCs in social spaces. PvP features objective-based modes, as well as traditional deathmatch game modes.
Players assume the role of a Guardian, protectors of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light to protect the Last City from different alien races. One of these races, the Cabal, led by the warlord Dominus Ghaul, infiltrate the Last City and strips all Guardians of their Light. The player sets out on a journey to regain their Light and find a way to defeat Ghaul and his Red Legion army and take back the Last City. Like the original Destiny, the game features expansion packs which further the story and adds new content and missions. Year One of Destiny 2 featured two small expansions, Curse of Osiris in December 2017 and Warmind in May 2018. A third, large expansion, Forsaken, was released in September 2018, beginning Year Two with an overhaul on gameplay. The base game and the first three expansions were packaged into Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection. An annual pass was also available alongside this release, containing three premium content drops for Year Two. Year Three will begin with the large expansion, Shadowkeep, scheduled for October 2019 as a standalone release, not requiring the previous expansions to play. Alongside the expansion will be a version of Destiny 2 called "New Light", a free-to-play re-release of Destiny 2 and the first two expansions.
Hey Everyone,
So after a lot of discussion. We have decided that we will be using Mograine as the dedicated EU Realm for the WWC Division, as originally planned. We'd like to apologize for the confusion and hope to see you in game soon!
Mandatory's Tuesday 20:00 GMT +2
Vanguard is currently gauging interest in the Free to Play Action RPG Dauntless, developed by Phoenix Labs and published by Epic Games. Epic Games are the creators and masterminds of titles like Fortnite and the Gears of War series which was my go-to back in my console days. The top selling points for this game are that it is free to play, it's cross platform meaning you can play it with all of your buddies, regardless of the platform you are playing it on (to soon include Nintendo Switch AND Mobile devices)! Also they have brought in Trials where you can compete each week for fastest kill to be put up on the wall of champions for all the world to see!.
Zephyr Strike
Zephyr Strike has brightened Ramsgate’s horizons with neon hair tints, our first-ever Faction Fight, and fifty new levels of Hunt Pass prizes! This update also improves the Patrol Chest system and introduces a new breed of Trials fauna: styxians.
Faction Fight
Endurance Squad takes on Defiance Squad in our first-ever Dauntless #FactionFight! Choose a side, equip a sigil, and earn points for your team with every hunt. At the end of two weeks, the winning faction’s lantern will be added to the store … for free.
PATROL CHESTS 2.0
When we first introduced Patrol Chests to Dauntless, it was with the hopes that they would be a nice reward for Slayers who played regularly – a bit of bonus loot to help you level up your gear. Instead, they became a point of confusion. What were Patrol Chests? How were you supposed earn them? What was the Boost for? And how did you know if you were boosted or not?
Many customer support tickets later, we’ve decided to revisit the Patrol Chest system. Here’s what you need to know in the post-0.9.2 world.
WHAT IS A PATROL CHEST?
A Patrol Chest is basically a stash of bonus loot. If you have a chest available and you complete a patrol, you can open the chest to get bonus rewards. You can see how many chests you own by opening up the in-game map.
STYXIANS
The newest fold in the fabric of Trials is the fast and fearsome styxian. We started off calling these “shark cats” internally, but they quickly earned their more ominous name.
Character Customization
Dauntless has brought amazing Character customizations into the game in the form of weapon and armor transmogs as well as many updates to facial features and hairstyles! Here are a few screenshots provided by JmagLive of his character!
They have a host of many different colors to choose From Premium colors you have to pay for to free ones you can unlock from battling heroic monsters to even ones you get from twitch prime!
They have different Armor transmogs as you see below! Each armor slot (Helmet, Body, Gauntlets, Boots, and Lanterns) All have their own Dedicated page for different transmogs!
Below is JmagLives Character. He has done a mix of 3 different armors. His helmet Transmog is received through the Faction Fight as he picked the green team ! His body transmog is a premium paid transmog bought through the store from the Ostian Admiral Set! For his gauntlets and boots he chose to go with the simple studded look that is offered to everyone from the Recruit Set which every player receives once they start the game! And finally for his Repeater transmog he went with the ZVR-84 “Last Days” Transmog that coincides with his team for the faction Fight!
If you are interested in seeing this game come to TAW and want to help with that process please fill out an interest for by following this link here.

TAW Interest for World of Warcraft - Classic
The drums of war thunder once again… Return to a lost era of Azeroth and experience the timeless stories that defined this world at war.World of Warcraft Classic is a faithful recreation of the original World of Warcraft—it runs a bit smoother on today’s computers, but the game still looks and feels like you’re playing World of Warcraft from 2006. Combat mechanics, original character models and skill trees all contribute to a truly authentic experience, as do your interactions with other players. Your reliance on others to take on the world was at the heart of the original WoW and is at the heart of World of Warcraft Classic.
Blizzard first said WoW Classic will launch sometime this summer, and now we have a date. WoW Classic releases August 27.
Blizzard is letting folk into the character creation for WoW classic ahead of official release, starting August 12.
Those with an active subscription can create and reserve up to three characters per account.
