Vanguard: Saga of Heroes News - Game Update 6 Details

Posted by Keith Cross on Sep 08, 2008  | 11 comments in our forums

The folks at Vanguard have announced details of Game Update 6, which will include a new starting area, thousands of bug fixes, character model makeovers, and more.

Isle of Dawn
We're introducing a brand new starting area which will showcase all the best that Vanguard has to offer. New players will be able to experience the world of Telon on a trial basis while exploring the Isle of Dawn. Existing players can choose to start their new characters in their selected Race's standard starting area, or begin their adventures on the Isle of Dawn and enjoy new content up to level 10!

Thousands of Bug Fixes!
Putting polish on the game is an ongoing effort! Although we've always been dedicated to making Vanguard play as smoothly as possible, this Game Update you can expect to see a great number of bug fixes – over a dozen pages of patch notes, to be exact!

Character Model Revamp
We've given Vanguard's character models a makeover, beefing up the men while enhancing the feminine features of our females. Not only have their bodies been given a revamp, but most of the facial customization that was available at launch has returned! You'll now have dozens of ways to make your character unique in appearance, all while increasing performance!

Actually, they announced this last week, so I'm assuming the update could be as early as this week.

I applaud the effort. It just seems like this is a tad to late. I know people will disagree with me, but this game should of been haulted when SIgil got canned. They should of taken down servers and began remaking Vangaurd they way it was suppose to be. Then a re-launch would of garnished alot more subs. I will be trying out the trail for the sake of it being free, but I doubt it would bring me back to the game. One thing I will always enjoy about Vangaurd tho, is it's huge landmass. It really felt like a huge world. To bad everything in the world was a mess.

I too have been waiting for the trial. I've been looking forward to a large, seemless PvE game world.

Finally! I'm glad to see the progress they've made, it's amazing considering how small their team is. Maybe now Vanguard will begin to live up to it's higher potential.

The free isle trial is a good idea.  I'll give it a try for sure.

 

The new models from what I've seen are not what I expected, but if it increases performance that is maybe a good compromise.  Vanguard is potentially great/good game that largely failed in the technical aspects, in my opinion.  Hopefully as performance is increased the other aspects of the game will shiine through.

 

And just to clarify, are all the races available on the trial isle?
