Resting Has its Rewards
- Heroes may now rest in Vanguard Resting increases the rate at which a hero will gain adventuring, crafting, or diplomacy experience.

Diplomacy Becomes Level Based
-Diplomacy has moved from a “skill-based” system to a “level-based” system to increase the opportunities for sphere interdependence.

Revamping the Diplomacy UI

Find Your Way with Quest Tracking
- Your Quest Tracker is making some changes for the better. Not only is the layout bigger, but youll better be able to decide which quests you see, which are hidden, and scroll over Tracker text for a brief summary of that quest

Helpful UI Changes to Improve Item Identification
- Keeping in line with our efforts to make Vanguard easier to understand and more intuitive, we have added a variety of improvements to items including descriptions of abilities and percentages of proc chances

Youtube – Gildentrailer Mercenaries

Die Server sind noch nicht da, aber die PR-Maschine der ersten Gilden läuft bereits. Als Beispiel die Gilde Mercenaries, die auf Xeth anzutreffen sein wird. In dem 2,5-minütigen bekommt ihr eine Mischung aus Screenshots und Ingame Nahkämpfen geboten. Das Video gefällt mir gut von der Präsentation her, viel Erfolg Mercenaries.

Youtube – Charbrook Military Repeatable Quest

Wer schon immer einmal sehen wollte, wie sich eine Quest aus Sicht eines einzelnen Spielers darstellt, der kann in diesem beigefügten etwas über 9 Minuten langem Video einen ersten Eindruck gewinnen. Das Ganze wird auch auch auf Englisch vom entsprechenden Spieler kommentiert. Viel Spaß dabei.

Youtube – Vanguard Darkwind Raid Trailer

So langsam nähert sich der Raidcontent, Zeit für die Spieler schonmal ihre Erwartungen im Bild festzuhalten. So geschehen in dem folgenden Video

Youtube – Bewahrer der Welten

Es ist schon eine Weile her, dass es hier ein Video gab, aber derzeit ist nicht so viel Gutes am Markt. Deshalb gibt es ein ca. 1 Monat altes Video der Bewahrer der Welten. Hier könnt ihr in gut 10min der Gilde bei der Abarbeitung von Quests folgen, wobei die dazugehörige Story sehr schön in Schriftform erzählt wird. Ein recht gelunges Video.
