The Vanguard Attacks! (Some Spoilers)

MalagAste · 5th May 2008, 03:17 PM

The Vanguard also have some interesting things to say, the sayings I've heard so far are...

Legum Servi Sumus
Beware I live...
Bellum Omnium In Omnes
Bellum letale
Libertatum Est Vendere
Bellum...
Bella Horrida
Magnus acervus erit
I am Vanguard!
Aut Viam Invenium
I hunger!
Non Est Disputandum
Beware Coward!
Run, Coward!
Dulce Bellum!
Run!

OMG I almost died laughing!!!!!!! OK now tell me Which DEV team member is it that is a HUGE fan of Sinistar!??!?!?!?

Gads! I'm still laughing!..... Go run play Sinistar for any of you that never did YEARS And YEARS ago in the arcades... or on Supernintendo when they brought that game back from the dead...... I loved that game! I used to play that game for hours in the arcade... One quarter would last me several hours.... I would finally have to be dragged out of the arcade by my sister..... with 30 lives left on my game. I can still hear the sinister laugh!!!!!!!! RUN COWARD RUN! I LIVE! I AM SINISTAR!....... *crazy meniacle laughter!* I LIVE!

Thanks DEV's for that old memory!...... *laughs*

The actual meaning of this phrase is lost without context. This is part of a proverb with religious overtones, the entirety of which is:

"Adde parum parvo, magnus acervus erit"

Literally translated: "Add a little to a little and there will be a great heap."

Often used when discussion loaves and fishes...

When I read these things, I tend to think of the Ori, from Stargate...
They were pretty big on quoting scripture.

Anyway, if you take context from their actions; not-entirely-overwhelming numbers attacking a few cities...
I think it is some kind of self-confident rhetoric... The current invasion is not everything that they have to offer, in effect.

I found this website-blog, it has a few more (spoilers) images of the invasion:
¡ÚUO¡Û¥¦¥ë¥Æ¥£¥Þ¥Þ¥Ë¥¢ - livedoor Blog¡Ê¥Ö¥í¥°¡Ë

If the stats here hold, tamed Dread Horses have:

615 HP
112 STAM
122 INT
534 STR
112 DEX
122 INT

71/20/26/56/40 resists
40/0/0/20/40 damage
20-26 base on hit

No poisoning (---) and no skills above 100 when tamed. I can't translate the possible pack instinct.

On Origin, Luna has a town crier. On Chesapeake, I don't see any. Do we have to invest in one of those silly rats to know the news now? ;P NM found one at Skara Brae...hm

I am on Origin and have been trying to turn in my spring cleaning tickets that I accumualted right after the published Origin with the patch, but the chest will not take them anymnore. When I try and place the ticket in the chest it just jumos back in my backpack. Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know if these tickets are transferable between accounts and shards?

Petra Fyde · 6th May 2008, 07:17 AM

I wonder if there's a problem with the box? Maybe that's why the shards just getting the publish don't have it at all.

Risso · 6th May 2008, 08:14 AM

So are all shards being attacked now Pub 52 is live?

You do not need to drop tickets in the chest, you need to double click the chest to bring up the donation menu.

Tickets can be given to anyone you like.
